On January 8th, yesterday's gathering of extraordinary people in the "Golden Age" bar was suddenly missing four members: "Scholar", "Blood Rose", "Detective" and "Professor".

Even Glerint, who has recently made up for his occult knowledge, was able to interject a few words in the occult knowledge sharing session of the party.

As a direct result of the lack of members, not a single transaction was successful.

Thanks to this, Glerint's savings were at one point back to nearly eight thousand pounds after receiving the gains of the previous December, but this was clearly not enough to consume the extraordinary road.

On Sylvie's side, Glelint had just made his third progress payment, £500.

It's still far from reaping the benefits.

Considering that he didn't know when he would go to the Southern Continent, Glerint entrusted Anthony with the investigation of Sylvie and the payment of the progress payment.

2,300 pounds, this cash fortune is not small.

But Glerint, after careful consideration, decided that Anthony could be trusted.

The other party enjoys the income from the 4% of the shares in the ship investment of Glerint as a manager, and this part of the equity is not allowed to be sold.

This part of the income alone is more than 400 pounds a year, and Glerint also pays him a salary and an end-of-year bonus.

And although Anthony is now in his fifties, he will work until retirement, and he can hold shares for at least ten years.

So Gleilynt thinks he has no reasonable reason to betray.

As for the shares of the shipping company, it was jointly invested by the Count and several viscounts, and no one would dare to play tricks on it.

Glerint's original plan was to ask the members of the branch for a powerful magical item after arriving in the Southern Continent.

Magical items that can be bought with money and can be called powerful are generally corresponding to Sequence 6 or Sequence 5.

This corresponds to a price ranging from four or five thousand pounds to about ten thousand.

In addition, the "bribe-taker" recipe and potion materials, the "decryption scholar" potions materials......

All of this has to be smashed with money, and it will cost three or four thousand pounds.

With his current digestion progress, even if it is just a normal and simple act, it will not take more than ten days to completely digest the "lawyer" potion at most.

As for the "barbarians" of Sequence 8, whether it is the recipe or the materials, he has already collected them. As soon as the "lawyer" potion is digested, he will be able to mix the potion in time and complete the promotion.

In other words, if the play goes well, it is impossible for him to take the "bribe-taker" formula from Klein.

So he wanted to buy the recipe himself in advance.

In view of this, Gleilint, who did not want to be bound by the gold pound, of course, chose to prepare enough wealth in advance.

In the middle and low sequences, there is basically nothing that can't be done by throwing money at it.

If there is, it may only be that there is not enough money spent.

Therefore, Greinte, who had a large reserve of real estate, chose to make a decision that went against his ancestors:

"Sell your house and land!"

This is because both the wealth of ships and banks is difficult to handle and use directly, and His Excellency, who does not know the situation, will not agree to such a loser as he is.

At the same time, Gleilynt is reluctant to give up these two parts of long-term, sustainable gains.

For now, this part of the wealth has an annual return of more than 20,000 pounds.

As a result, he was able to dispose of his realised wealth with only two properties in Bridgewood and Hilston, as well as cottages in the West End, as well as those estates.

This is the reason why he chose to sell his house and land.

As for the mansion he lives in now, the large villa, it is actually closer to the castle.

This is bound to his viscount title in the laws of the kingdom, not that it cannot be sold, but it is quite difficult.

Of course, Glerint wasn't going to sell it.

The total value of these properties that can be dealt with is more than 150,000 pounds, but it is impossible for him to sell it completely.

To be more secluded, he decided to sell only two properties and a small estate.

The two are worth about fifteen thousand pounds together.

Coupled with the fact that there were still close to eight thousand pounds, not considering the recipes and potions from Sequence Six onwards, these riches were basically enough for him to spend.

The reason why he is "basically enough" is because he also plans to train or hire two or three extraordinary men.

As a nobleman, even if he went to the Southern Continent to fight for his life, it must be the life of Xianbo's subordinates......

This is the basic thinking of all nobles.

Of course, Gleilynt wouldn't be so ruthless, because it didn't fit his worldview.

But having two or three subordinates and not having to do everything by himself is also very necessary for him.

Just like now, he also felt more and more that the manservant Hash, as an ordinary person, did have a lot of things that made him inconvenient.

For example, he needs to be careful to hide his extraordinary abilities and Jim's presence at all times.

Be careful not to let them touch or get close to magical objects.

At the same time, even if the negative impact of magical items is great, it cannot be revealed.

However, he is reluctant to train Hash directly to become extraordinary, because Gleilynt knows that the other party has a wonderful family.

If you choose to be extraordinary, it must be accompanied by madness and crisis.

For ordinary people with a stable life, becoming an extraordinary person is more of a curse than a good thing.

As for the royal family's rule that nobles are not allowed to cultivate extraordinary people in private, it is only for fear that their position will be threatened.

As long as you don't have the strength above the demigod, the royal family is more willing to keep this handle and pinch you with the punishment of "depriving you of the title" at any time.

And to be honest, Glerint doesn't have to be that rare.

For what he wants to do, with this identity, the advantage is that it will indeed be more convenient in many cases.

But if you don't have that identity, those things are just a little troublesome.

In the short term, wealth means more to Glerint than knighthood.

As for the long term?

Sorry, he didn't think about it.

The end of the world is coming, what do you want for a title for thousands of generations?

Besides, when the war came, even with the status and wealth of Count Hall, he had to consider surrender.

Not to mention that he was a tiny viscount.

For the nobles who were bound to be swept into the tide of the times by the war, only exchanging wealth for their own strength in advance was the real royal way.

Glerint's current plan is to become a "bribe-taker" as much as possible before Crane is put down by Fort Source, and play the role of digesting a portion of the potion.

At the same time, cultivate their own power.

When Klein gets the "Black Emperor" card, he can also prepare the "Corrupt Baron".

He knew that in every way, he couldn't digest potions faster than Crane.

Therefore, as long as he doesn't want to be completely free from playing soy sauce and watching dramas in the back, he has to be stupid to fly first.

"Jim, your tricks are useless to me."

Looking at the "eyes" wrapped in the afternoon tea and refreshment, although Glerint knew that it was Jim's hallucination, it was fake.

But he couldn't help but feel a churn in his stomach, and he completely lost his appetite after Jim withdrew his hallucinations.

The little mouse man stood up, holding the Intis purple walnut with two "hands", and gnawed it with relish.

"But, Glerinte, I have the feeling of 'digestion' of potions, you said."

……

Glancing at Jim and the refreshments next to him, Glerint raised his right hand expressionlessly:

"Eating and drinking are not allowed here."

With a snap, Jim's remaining half of the walnuts were wrapped in an invisible tough film, which made his teeth ache.

"Knock Knock"

"What's the matter?"

Just as Jim was about to rampage, there was a knock on the study door.

"Mr. Mariano, a lady who calls herself the 'Hermit of Destiny' has come to visit you."

Hash reports through the door.
