Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Tyrannical Countess

Delin opened his eyes, a smile on his face. After more than ten days of continuous efforts, he finally advanced the Well of Magic to the second purple order. Entering the meditative state again, in the magic space, two wells of magic that looked the same but were very different were constantly spitting magic into their magic space. It is not a simple simultaneous spitting between the two, nor is it a simple staggering of time. Through continuous observation and experimentation, Delin finally understood the mystery, and at the same time knew why it took so much mental power and time for the Well of Magic to advance from the first order to the second order.

Judging from its process, it is not a simple copy of one, but the first one slowly begins to split, and then the second one is produced. After the split, the two wells of magic were slightly different from the first, and even the two of them were not exactly the same, but there was a certain close connection. Judging by the results, the effect of that mysterious connection is undoubtedly astounding. When meditating, Delin only needs to invest the same mental power on one of the magic wells as before, and then only needs to put a small amount of mental power into the other one, which can produce nearly twice the effect! Specifically, the first one will spit out a mana and then have a similar resonance reaction with the second magic well, but the effect is worse, about six out of seven. The effect has increased by more than 1.85 times, but the consumption of one's mental power has only increased by about two percent. Moreover, as long as you put in double the mental power, it will have the effect of doubling the previous one. Compared with the previous one, this method undoubtedly reduces the cost-effectiveness ratio, which is not a cost-effective thing. Delin's meditation effect at this time was between 13 and 15 times that of the previous use of spider silk capture, which has to be said to be a huge leap.

The time has come on July 10th, and Her Royal Highness Leia will arrive at Taishan Territory today. Early in the morning, Delin led a group of men to wait at the border of George's Territory. Although I don't have a good impression of Leia in my heart, I can't help but give her face. Because in terms of status and strength, she has to surpass herself far ahead.

At noon, Her Highness Rhea's team appeared in view.

"Delin Tariq has seen Her Highness Rhea!" Delin saluted as Rhea's motorvoy stopped.

"Hehe! It's rare that you still have this mind, how about it? It's been a long time to wait, haven't you?" said Leia with a smile, but there seemed to be a little demon hidden under that smile.

Time is so precious, people always find a way to spend that time waiting. What's more, it is also an extremely honorable thing to wait for His Highness to come. Delin said with a change of color.

In fact, he did wait here all morning, but the hard work was not enough. Parasols hang overhead, the breeze blows, and then plunge into meditation, delightfully feeling the magic a little bit stronger. Only Qiang Lu stood by his side, and the rest of the knights who had brought him to greet him had been ordered by Delin to train on the spot, so they looked like they were sweating now.

Leia's itinerary says that she will arrive today, but she doesn't write about when she will arrive, which is a big mistake. As the daughter of Duke Raidon, it is impossible for the people around her to make such a low-level mistake, so the biggest possibility is that Leia did it on purpose. Her purpose in doing this was nothing more than to find an excuse to fix herself properly, in order to vent her frustration. As for why, Delin doesn't know. So he came here early and waited.

Back in Pittsburgh, Delin placed Leia on the third floor. However, Rea found Delin after disappearing for a while, and seemed to be unhappy with the arrangement.

"Why am I not the top?" Reia apparently got the message from somewhere.

"This is my private territory, you are a VIP, don't let my bad habits disturb your rest. Delin said with a smile.

"Then put away your bad habits, and I'll see if you have the guts to disturb my rest. Leia's words were extremely domineering, and then she walked upstairs with her maid without looking back. "Remove all of your people, and no one is allowed to step into the upper stairs without my permission. For the sake of your good performance today, I won't drive you down!, but your pretty little maid must serve me from this day on. That's it, if you have an opinion, come to me for a theory, but you'd better beat me, or you'll be prepared to be abused. ”

Delin felt the urge to rush up and crush her to the ground and smash her down, but he hesitated and retreated. Reason made him understand that if he rushed forward, then it would definitely be himself who was pressed to the ground and flattened. He had personally witnessed the fear of this eldest sister hidden in the hearts of the younger generation of the Raidon family, even the confident and domineering Brenaud.

Immediately, Delin was informed that his activities were limited to his study and bedroom. In this regard, Delin had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and then went downstairs to start taking care of affairs. After a setback in one place, people like to find a sense of accomplishment elsewhere, and Delin seems to be in that mood at the moment.

As if intent on attacking Delin, at lunchtime, Delin was eating in the restaurant when the door of the restaurant suddenly opened.

"Looks like your food here doesn't seem to be bad. Leia glanced at the table with a glimpse of what's on the table. Cooked dishes include chunks of raw steak made from curly horned beef, whole fire-roasted long-haired goats, and Luce sea bass, a specialty of the Luce River. In addition, there are several kinds of expensive seasonal fruits with crystal water droplets on them, and the color is so tender that you will be appetizing at first sight.

Rea came across from Delin and grabbed a fruit and threw it into her mouth, leaving Jamili standing behind her. "I'll come here to eat in the future, so I can prepare an extra one in the kitchen. No, if you don't want to see your little beauty starve, prepare two more. I'm coming to you today to talk to you about two deals. Leia seemed to find the fruit to her taste, and with a stroke of thought, the whole plate disappeared from the table. "The first one you already know, I'll help you look at the territory, you can boldly expand your territory to the east. I need 10% of the entire plan profit, and you are responsible for all the expenses of me and my people here. The second is that I have a batch of rune weapons that need to be shot, and I think you need these too, and the price can give you a little discount, just 10% off the market price. Do you have any opinions?" Rea didn't seem to be discussing, but giving notice, only to give a final glance at Delin.

"Yes!" Delin's eyes looked at him in surprise, and this gaze gradually changed towards some bad trend. Delin sat there, staring blankly ahead, ignoring her gaze, and then continued: "First of all, the territory's arms procurement order has been given to the Lorent Comptoir, and I have no right to interfere. Moreover, now that all fields of the Taishan Territory are developing at a high speed, they can't afford to buy rune weapons. Even small needs will be purchased from the old blacksmith, who is the father of Huo Hailan, and I think his work must be not bad, and he has promised to sell it to Pittsburgh at a 70% discount on the market price. Second, as for the 10% share you mentioned, I'm afraid I can't agree to it. This is a project that many people are involved in, and I am not alone in it. It's a massive, ongoing investment. As I said bluntly, you don't have the conditions to invest. According to the treaty, neither you nor your subordinates will be able to enter the Land of Chaos for a single step. As for you to help me guard the Taishan Collar, this is even more unnecessary, although the Taishan Collar is not so stable, but there is absolutely no unstable factor that can threaten its development, and my strength is enough to cope with any difficulties and challenges. Moreover, this is only a matter between us, and there is no connection with the whole crusade plan. Little by little, Delin spoke his thoughts, not in the slightest fear of Rhea's strength. Delin spoke confidently and calmly, as if everything was true. But, in fact, it was all nonsense at all, and he was sure that Leia didn't know this.

"Then you mean it's completely superfluous to come here?!" Leia's face didn't seem to be expressionless, but her tone had become unusually calm. If there were a maid who knew her well, she would know that this was the calm before the storm raged.

"Not really! I welcome your arrival, and you have added a lot of partners for me to work with. For that, I am very grateful to you. However, the matter of profit sharing is not something that I can decide alone, and we can discuss it together when we discuss it tomorrow. I will definitely strive for the maximum benefit of His Highness. Delin said earnestly. Delin deliberately omitted a rune weapon when he said it, and it seemed that it was no longer in the scope of consideration.

"What do you mean?" said Leia, displeased, "I won't be involved in your so-called crusade, so I won't be involved in the so-called negotiations. However, 10% of the profits you make must be given to me, otherwise I will beat you up once when I see you. If you're not afraid of losing face in front of your subordinates, try it. In addition, these rune weapons were created by Huo Hailan, and according to your original agreement, they were 7% off the price, and you must buy them. However, I'm going to add a discount to the profit. Leia had already stood up, and gave Delin one last look, full of warning and threat.

Delin also stood up, then wiped his mouth with a napkin, and turned to go downstairs to attend to business. Yes, he acquiesced, it was not easy to get Leia to make such a concession, and it was only a little too much to risk her life. Losses suffered in one place will be compensated in another, and Delin has begun to think about how to use Leia's status to gain more benefits in tomorrow's negotiations.

As for the rune weapon, Delin didn't have any other ideas at this point, he knew that Huo Hailan wanted to go better and further on this path, and a large amount of gold investment was necessary, so he should make up for her a little. In fact, he thinks that he is not at all at a loss, and the price of 7% off has taken a great advantage. As for the price of that discount, it is definitely worth it. Under Leia's care, Huo Hailan will definitely be able to reduce a lot of trouble, and get enough attention and better cultivation. A lot of the time, this kind of relationship can't be bought.

Thinking of Huo Hailan, Delin suddenly stopped, then turned and ran upstairs.

"What are you looking for me?" After a long wait, Leia finally appeared in front of Delin.

"I want Your Highness to help bring something to Huo Hailan. Delin said.
