Early morning.

A petrified giant.

After some demonstration, the attitude of the Eastern nobles towards Rosen changed a lot.

After the excitement subsided and the crowd began to move freely, a noble mage approached Lawson.

"Baron, do you have time to talk?"

When Lawson looked at it, he recognized it as the mage Salas who had helped him yesterday.

He had a good impression of the young man, so he nodded, "Of course."

"Please follow me."

After a while, the two of them came to the leisure tea room of the petrified giant ship.

The place was spacious and bright, for there were many glass windows in the bulkheads, and the ceiling was filled with fine magic lamps as if it didn't cost money.

When Rosen arrived, there were many people sitting in the tearoom, including the noble mage he met yesterday, and some men and women who couldn't call their names, but were gorgeously dressed, about twenty people.

When these people saw Rosen, they would politely nod at him and say hello.

Either way, they all remembered Rosen.

Salas led Rosen to a remote corner hall and sat down, and there were already two people seated in the corner hall.

One of them was a noble mage who had dealt with yesterday evening, and the other was also a familiar face, it was the black-haired female mage who had had a few conversations before.

Originally, the two were sitting, and when Rosen arrived, they both got up to greet them, calling them barons.

Salas explained, "Actually, I'm not the only one who wants to talk to the Baron, but everyone in the Platinum Business Alliance has something to say to the Baron. ”

Rosen's heart moved slightly, and a flash of joy flashed.

"I feel very honored."

After everyone sat down again, Master Salas began to act as an intermediary, introducing Lawson to the identities of the various noble mages.

"This is Yuragon. Master Langley, a high-level fourteen-star achievement, hails from White Sands, the second largest city in the East, and his family has a seat in the White Sands City Round Table Council. ”

"And the entire Round Table Council has only five seats, and it is the real power behind the scenes in White Sands City, and each city lord is selected by the Round Table Council."

Rosen has heard of the system in White Sands.

Baisha City is too big, and its geographical location is really superior, if it is allowed to develop freely, it can easily surpass Angry Waves City.

As a result, the first duke established a parliamentary system for White Sands City, dividing the city into five, thus disintegrating the threat of White Sands City's status to Angry Waves.

Even so, the five major families of Baisha are still a few wealthy families in the golden land, and if they take out any of them, the wealth they control can be comparable to that of the god-given marquis of other realms.

And to be honest, with Rosen's current aristocratic status, there is a huge gap with the other party.

At this time, he was able to sit on an equal footing, mainly because of the fame that came with his great magical achievements.

But fame is a bit of a void, and it can't really support Rosen.

So he reversed his domineering attitude yesterday and nodded humbly to this handsome male mage named Yuragon.

Salas introduces the black-haired female mage.

"This is Dora. Turan. Lady Summit, a mid-16-star achievement, hails from the island city of Fenselil in the East. ”

"She is the eldest daughter of the current patriarch of the Turan family, and she is also the chief disciple of the patriarch. Wife of Baron Summit. ”

"The Turan family, also known as the Eagle of Fenselil, is one of the three god-given Earls of Fotherril and one of the most famous mage families in the East. Turan is a level 9 peak archmage, and a single blow is a level 9 extreme spell. ”

Speaking of this, Mage Salas suddenly lowered his voice.

"In fact, even the Duke who wields the Spear of Lightning has great respect for Archmage Turan and calls him the First Wise Man of the East."

Rosen listened in awe.

It felt that the background of these great nobles in the Eastern Realm was really shining, which made him, a little mage lord from a small place in the northern realm, feel blinded.

He took a closer look at the black-haired Mrs. Summit, and found that she was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with delicate features, porcelain white skin, and dark eyes as bright as the morning star.

She wore an elegant light blue gauze dress, and a delicate jeweled leather belt was tied around her waist, showing off her slender and graceful figure.

But it's not thin, and the popular description is 'all the flesh grows where it should be'.

In short, both facial features and body are very similar to the graceful beauties of the Earth in the previous life, which gave Rosen a very good first impression.

Mrs. Summit was also looking at him, and a smile appeared on her face as their eyes touched slightly.

"Master Rosen, I've always heard that you have an amazing talent for mana. Now it seems that the rumors are still conservative, and your mana talent should be described as 'earth-shattering'. ”

It is a friendly flattery, which shows that the other party does not have a bad impression of himself.

Since the other party intends to close the relationship, Rosen naturally will not push the other party away, and he smiled.

"Thank you very much for the compliment, but compared to Archmage Turan, my achievement is simply compared to the sun, and it is not worth mentioning at all."

Mrs. Summit pursed her lips and chuckled, and the relationship was immediately much more harmonious.

Finally, Salas introduces himself.

"As for me, Salas. Danduo, a mid-level 13-star mage, the lord of Bibo City is my father, and he is also a powerful warrior in the East, with a strength of level 8 master, known as the God of War of Bibo. ”

"Of course, my father was never proud of his martial arts, on the contrary, he often felt regretful, that he had taken the wrong path and that he should have studied magic."

"Because of this, my father has great respect for the mage and has devoted himself to training me, hoping that I can become a master of magic."

Rosen was immediately in awe: "Your father has a superhuman far-reaching vision. ”

That's a lot more knowledgeable than the savage family in the north.

After some introductions, everyone knew each other's identities.

Salas went on to introduce the Platinum Business Alliance.

"The so-called Platinum Business Alliance is one of the three major business alliances in the East."

"In addition, there is also the Eagle Alliance and the Giant Whale Alliance. All three of our alliances are loyal to the Duke, but they are in competition with each other. ”

"Although they are all business alliances, there are some subtle differences between them."

"The Whale Alliance focuses on overseas trade, has few conflicts of interest with us, and generally remains neutral, but the Eagle Alliance focuses on inland water trade, and the scope of our Platinum Alliance completely overlaps, and there are often frictions in daily life."

Rosen somewhat understood: "The Marquis of Shattered Leaf City belongs to the Eagle Alliance? ”

"Yes."

Salas sighed, "Bibo City and Shattered Leaf City border each other, and they are located to the south of it. About 200 meters south of the Broken Leaf City Pier, it is my Bibo City Pier. ”

"Previously, the northern merchant Candela. Lawrence has been a key partner of our Platinum Alliance, but he was stopped by Shattered Leaf City, preventing many of the North's unique goods from going south. ”

"Not to mention other places, just talking about my family's Bibo City, there are many shops that have gone bankrupt because of this. My father was very angry about this. ”

Rosen was a little strange: "Does the Duke care?" ”

It stands to reason that the Duke should set a bottom line of competition, otherwise everyone will compete maliciously, and the market will be turbulent, so how can business be developed?

Mrs. Summit on the side gave an explanation: "The Duke has a very understanding underground lover named Selena. Horenier. ”

The superior is in the limelight, and the lover can't hide it, but everyone knows it and won't expose it.

Salas then went on to state the second reason.

"Another important reason is that Candela is a merchant in the North, and Duke Storm and Duke Ice are not on the same page."

"The two dukes often quarrel at the dukes' meetings in the imperial capital."

The former said that the latter was an ignorant barbarian, and the latter scolded the former as a shameless and black-hearted businessman. Therefore, the Duke also incidentally disliked everything from the North, and felt that there was no need for the East to do business with the North. ”

"But to be honest, the minerals and furs from the north, as well as the delicate artifacts from your crescent collar, oil paintings, and the recently sold very popular microscope, all make us very excited."

Rosen immediately understood what the other party meant, and said that it was because he was profitable.

He had a 'wry smile' on his face.

"I am telling the truth, because Her Royal Highness the Princess has helped me many times, which has made me have an excellent impression of the eastern border, and I am very willing to do business with the cities in the eastern border."

"I'm also very troubled by the block of Broken Leaf City."

"I also know very well what Master Seraf is thinking, and he just wants me to give him the petrochemical construction technique for free. Originally, as a small lord, in order to do business, I would still give it in the end. ”

"But I've sold this petrified building technique to the Duke for a high price. Isn't it contempt for the Duke to give away the things I bought at a high price, but I gave them to Shattered Leaf City for free? ”

Speaking of this, he spread his hands helplessly: "So, the more troublesome things go, it has become the way it is now." ”

Master Yuragon, who had not spoken, spoke: "Master Lawson, is it really not possible to take a land route for your microscope?" ”

"Land routes can also be intercepted, and the microscope is a very delicate instrument that can't withstand tossing."

Everyone believes this, after all, what you see is dozens of times thinner than a hair, and if there is a slight deviation, you will definitely not be able to see accurately.

As a result, Yuragon's pair of handsome eyebrows furrowed at the slanting angle.

"Master Seraf has gone too far! Isn't this single-handedly stopping my Eastern Mage from exploring new knowledge? ”

Mrs. Summit agreed: "This microscope was of great benefit to my father's research. If my father had known this, he would have been furious. ”

Rosen was very happy in his heart, but he was a native of the north, so he naturally would not get involved in the contradictions in the east, so as not to trigger the other party's natural xenophobia.

So, he kindly gave a suggestion: "Maybe you can resell it from the middle realm." ”

Mrs. Summit sighed: "A total of 30 units have been sold so far. The mages themselves are not enough, so they are willing to sell them to us. ”

Rosen spread his hands again, looking helpless.

"I'm just a small lord, and the population of the territory is more than 100,000, but I don't have the ability to break through the interception of the marquis."

Speaking of which, in order to show his sincerity, he said: "But I also brought some glass samples, and you can take them back and find a glass workshop to imitate them, which should slightly alleviate the demand for downward microscopes." ”

"Wait a minute."

With that, he quickly returned to his Sky One and took some optical glass samples from it.

Soon back in the tea room, a spectroscopic prism was given to each mage.

"Samples are here. I believe that with the ability of the eastern realm, it will soon be able to imitate it. ”

The three mages didn't expect Lawson to be so generous, so they immediately looked at the prism in their hands.

After a few glances, Master Yuragon praised him repeatedly.

"It's really the best glass I've ever seen, it's like solidified water, and it's even better than the previous magnifying glass."

Mrs. Sammy also couldn't put it down, and looked at it over and over again.

"I really didn't expect glass to be able to do it to this extent."

Master Salas knew more about glass craftsmanship, and after taking a closer look, he sighed deeply.

"It's useless to give. The glass workshop in Bibo City can't be imitated, at least for five years. ”

After speaking, he looked at Lawson: "Master Lawson, otherwise, you can directly instruct us to open an optical glass workshop, a fixed price, 300,000 crowns." ”

As soon as these words came out, the other two mages coughed repeatedly.

Mrs. Summit immediately said, "Don't be in such a hurry, Salas! ”

Yuragon also said: "It is not a trivial matter to open an optical glass workshop, this kind of glass is a strategic material, and the Duke will definitely not let everyone produce it freely." ”

Seeing that there seemed to be an argument between the three of them, Lawson said, "Don't worry, everyone, this matter can't be solved at once." Let's wait for the Golden Lake University meeting and discuss it carefully. ”

Saying this, all three nodded yes.

Later, he talked about Rosen's offending of Seraf.

Mrs. Summit was a little worried: "Master Seraf is a narrow-minded man, and if you attend the university meeting alone, I am afraid that you will be in danger. ”

Rosen smiled: "I have already told His Highness about this, and His Highness asked me to accompany me all the way." I don't think Master Seraf should be able to attack His Highness's ship. ”

Salas nodded in agreement: "Then the itinerary should be safe, but what about the magic duel later?" Are you sure?"

Rosen smiled slightly, and subconsciously touched the Mana Torrent Staff: "That's still a little certain." ”

In this case, the people did not talk about this topic anymore.

After that, casual chit-chat began.

Lawson is well-read and knowledgeable, and he is a master of flow numbers, and the mages from various nobles are also interested in making friends, so after a conversation, they all feel very happy.

When I left the scene after chatting, there was a small episode.

The beautiful man, Master Yuragon, said something with a serious face.

"Master Lawson, you're a very nice person, worth befriending. But I still have to make it clear that even if Her Royal Highness the Princess is interested in you, I will not give up the competition. ”

Salas also nodded: "I mean the same thing, because becoming the husband of Her Royal Highness the Princess is one of my greatest pursuits in life." ”

Mrs. Summit did not speak, but only pursed her lips and chuckled, as if there was a deep meaning in her expression.

Rosen saw the expressions of the three of them in his eyes, and secretly alerted in his heart: "The princess fan group is too strong, I have to hide it carefully."

If the matter is leaked, he will definitely make countless enemies, and it is not uncommon for him to be shattered in an instant.

So, he said with a serious face: "Your Highness is as beautiful as the moon in the sky, and anyone will yearn for it." ”

"But I'm just a small lord in a remote and small place, and I'm already satisfied if I appreciate it from afar, how dare I covet the princess's beauty."

"All I can say is that no matter what Your Highness chooses in the end, I will show respect and send my heartfelt wishes."

That's a beautiful statement.

The two noble young masters both showed satisfied smiles on their faces, and each raised the cup in front of him.

"Salute to Your Highness."
