First, two beautiful maids opened the door and came out, judging from Renard's straight eyes, Fang Yi was sure that one of these two maids was his sweetheart Praxi.

"Well, the blonde hair is big, but they are all standard European beauties."

Fang Yi affirmed the two broad-minded maids.

As soon as the door opened, two maids stood on either side, and a richly dressed middle-aged man walked in.

"Ahem... I am the Duke of Sel, hello, noble knights. ”

Before the man could finish speaking, the knights and their retinue fell to one knee and paid their respects to the duke.

Fang Yi didn't move, he was very resistant to this way of kneeling etiquette.

"This is... Ahem,"

The man held a handkerchief, covered his mouth and coughed lightly, then looked at Fang Yi and said, "Look like a stranger?" Renard, you brought it? ”

"Yes, Venerable Duke Sel,"

Renard also glanced sideways at Fang Yi, who was still standing straight, which startled him.

He quietly touched his trouser leg with his hand, and motioned for Fang Yi to kneel down with him.

It's a pity that Fang Yi didn't mean to kneel, he bent down slightly, and then said, "I'm sorry, this honorable duke, I just arrived in your land, and I don't know much about the customs here. However, in my hometown, a man is not allowed to kneel easily, and I ask for your understanding and forgiveness. ”

"No... Ahem... It doesn't matter, guests who travel from afar deserve to be respected and tolerated. ”

The Duke smiled, and the wrinkles on his face kneaded together.

He motioned for the knight and his retinue in front of him to get up and followed him into the atrium of the manor.

The level of luxury in the hall made Fang Yi, who was the county lord, secretly exclaim.

Just entering the door, the gilded frame echoes the white walls inlaid with crystal clear agate, full of richness and comfort; A long red carpet spreads out inside the room, dividing the slightly narrow room into two sides; The red carpet is lined with standard Western European floor-to-ceiling candlesticks, as well as tall bouquets of flowers and plants neatly arranged along the bottom of the stone walls, brightening up the room and adding a lot of freshness.

At the end of the red carpet is a luxurious European-style long dining table, which is already filled with delicious dishes and steaming.

The knights and entourages who had never seen such a luxurious scene were all distracted for a while, until the duke let the knights take their seats, Fang Yi and a group of entourages also stood on both sides of the room and waited quietly.

At the night banquet, the duke and the knights mingled and talked happily, and most of them talked about the contents of tomorrow's knight examinations, as well as expressed their views on some recent disputes on the European continent.

Fang Yi didn't care about this dinner, after all, his goal this time was not this.

After about an hour, until Fang Yi also felt a little irritable when he was standing, this ordinary dinner party finally came to an end.

"Then I... Ahem... I wish you all the glorious knights the best of luck tomorrow! ”

Uh, let's not talk about the achievements, civilized you, me and him......

Fang Yi looked at the ceiling above his head, thinking wildly.

The duke, still smiling with his handkerchief, asked the maids to send the knights out of the manor one by one, and then summoned the last remaining Renard to his side and whispered a few words.

"Thank you Lord Duke for your affirmation and trust in me, I will definitely strive to become a noble Knight of the Round Table of King Arthur!"

After listening to their inexplicable chat, Fang Yi finally felt that the time was ripe and stepped forward.

"Hello, Lord Duke, you must be done with your work, right? I wonder if you have time to talk to me? ”

Renard, who was just about to leave, looked at Fang Yi who came up with him with a strange expression, and was about to stop him, but the duke didn't seem to be surprised, and waved his hand to signal him to retreat.

"Well, stranger, what do you want to say to me when you came to me at all these times?"

Fang Yi was not verbose, and said straight to the point: "Lord Duke, I don't know if you are interested in doing a business with me?" ”

"Business?"

Duke Selle shook his head and said with a smile, "Young man, I've been busy lately, and if you're just trying to sell me the goods you've brought from your distant homeland, then I think I'll probably need to rest." ”

"It will take two more days, and His Excellency the Duke will need to re-induce qi into his body to renew his life, right?"

Fang Yi pulled over an armchair without care, sat on it by himself, and then looked at the duke who was about to get up and leave, as if he was smiling.

The duke froze in place for an instant, he turned his head, squinted at Fang Yi, and then waved his hand, signaling the servants to all exit the house.

The servants looked confused, they didn't understand what Fang Yi said at all, but since their master had spoken, they could only exit the door immediately.

"Luck? Not a bad word, is this a common term for you Destiny? ”

Duke Sair was still staring at Fang Yi, his face was flat, and he couldn't see his expression.

"Don't get me wrong, Lord Duke, I'm not a Destiny One, just like you, I'm also a native of this continent,"

Fang Yi said without a red heart and a heartbeat, "I investigated the information of Lord Duke before I came, of course, it cost me a lot of silver, but what I know is that Lord Duke was not so terminally ill two years ago, right?" ”

"That's true, but since you know about the induction of qi into the body, then you naturally know why I'm doing this."

The duke nodded, and he didn't care about Fang Yi's investigation of him in advance, this kind of thing, find an elderly man in this city, most of them know and can talk about it.

"Let me guess, the Duke is a merchant and is a well-known figure in this city,"

Fang Yi stood up, paced around the dining table a few times, and said as if talking to himself, "But adults were powerless two years ago, and in this European continent where you eat and sleep and look at the background, you must have a deep sense of powerlessness even though you had some money in your hands at the beginning, right?" ”

"When the Mandate of Heaven passed through this city, the adults felt that they saw an opportunity, and the Mandate of Heaven with no background but extremely strong strength made you a businessman, and the desire to invest was raised."

Fang Yi looked at the duke with a wry smile on his face, knowing that his guess was not far from ten, so he continued: "So my lord's current situation, it must be a failed investment, right?" ”

"Heh... Ahem... Failed investment? That's not true,"

The Duke of Sair placed his handkerchief on the table and said in a deep voice, "The merchant does not like the word "equivalent exchange, because it is often a loss-making business for the merchant. It's a pity that I didn't expect that the biggest transaction I made in my life was this equivalent exchange. ”

He suddenly pulled out his heart, and pulled out his heart, and the blood was dripping, and the heart was still beating actively.
