Chapter 331: Catch the Mistake and Get Rich in a Wave! (4/4)
The opening ceremony of this year's Golden Lake University Conference is over.
Traditionally, the formal college meeting would not begin until the next day, but in reality, the university meeting was no longer very attractive to Rosen.
But it is not possible to go back to the Crescent Collar now, because the Golden Title requires a lot of paperwork to be signed and a lot of details to be discussed.
There is no escaping these trifles.
The grievances between him and the Hollenier family should also be completely resolved.
When the Emperor announced the end of the opening ceremony and left the venue, Lawson immediately crossed the crowd and walked straight towards the Hollennier father and son, before anyone left.
The other party naturally saw Rosen and immediately sensed his intentions, and immediately ducked back, trying to avoid his head-on duel challenge by taking advantage of the crowd's obstruction.
How could Rosen possibly let him get his wish?
His footsteps lightly cushioned the ground, and with the blessing of the Great Force Technique, he showed amazing dexterity, and I saw him flash around in the crowd, blocking Hollennir in less than five seconds.
In order to prevent accidents, Lawson loudly invited him to a duel.
"Master Seraf~ In front of everyone, I, High Mage Lawson, will launch a duel with you!"
"Limited Spell Duel~ Do you dare to take it?!"
The sound was so loud that it spread far away, immediately attracting the attention of the mages, and people stopped and watched curiously.
At this time, Rosen became famous, and his every move was watched.
As soon as he heard that he was going to fight a duel, almost all the mages did not leave, and they wanted to see what was going on.
At this time, Master Salas also arrived, and when he saw that the mages were strange, he took the initiative to be a commentator.
After a while, all the surrounding mages knew about the dispute between the two.
"Hmm~ Master Seraf, you're not doing it properly!"
"There's no reason to block people's trade routes, but it's a violation of the free trade treaty in the east."
"The high-level mage initiates a duel against the archmage, can this win?"
"Tsk~ When I was in the Golden Magic Academy, I knew that Seraf was not a good thing, but I didn't expect it to change after so many years!"
In the end, this man spoke very politely, almost equivalent to a slap in the face.
Seraf was furious in his heart, and when he turned his head to look, he found that it was an old acquaintance, the Marquis of God's Gift from the West, a classmate of the Golden Magic Academy.
The two once had a dispute, even to the point of a duel in magic.
The marquis was also an archmage, and he was also a level 6 archmage, seeing Seraf glaring at him, he smiled and took a step forward.
"Seraf, I'm Grenwell, you were so enthusiastic about me back then."
Seraf was stunned: "Grenwell, the matter has been completely resolved back then, what, you still plan to take it out?" ”
"It's over, but it doesn't stop me from continuing to hate you."
The Marquis of Grenwell took a sideways step over to Rosen and tapped him lightly on the shoulder.
"Young man, I admire you very much. If you're not sure, let me be your dueling agent, and I'll help you beat him! ”
Seraf was shocked: "Grenwell, don't meddle with your business!"
Grenwell laughed: "I just care, what's wrong?"
The lords were all willful this year, Seraf was very willful, and the other lords were naturally willful.
Rosen was very happy, so he took a step forward and forced: "Marquis of Seraf, please give me a clear answer immediately!" ”
Seraf was silent.
His son Olsson took a step forward: "My father is old, and he has been feeling a little unwell lately, but he is not stronger than your youth. ”
Before Rosen could speak, Grenwell began to help.
"Why don't you say that your father is an archmage? If this is cowardice, it will be a shame for the archmage! ”
One sentence silenced Olsson.
Seraf, on the other hand, turned pale.
Although he often uses some rogue methods, they are all done behind people's backs, and not many people know about it, so they don't have much impact.
Now the situation is different.
He is now blocked by the famous mages of the Golden Land, and if he is a scoundrel, the family will really lose face.
When the time comes, he will not be able to raise his head for the rest of his life, and the children of the family will be greatly despised when they go out, and they will hit a wall wherever they go.
It was a terrible day to think about.
At this time, a clear female voice came from the side.
"Marquis Seraf, since there is indeed a dispute between the two of you, and Master Lawson has sent out an invitation to a duel, then according to the sacred duel tradition, you should accept the challenge."
It was none other than the princess of the East, Heya Jiali, who was guarded by everyone.
She said this without partiality, maintaining a neutral posture of not helping each other, which is impeccable.
But now that the princess has spoken, and has taken out the sacred duel tradition to talk about things, Seraf has no room for manoeuvre.
But he felt very aggrieved in his heart, and he was very reluctant to bow his head, and he still wanted to fight for the family's reputation.
So, he used a risky trick.
Turning his head to look at Rosen, his gaze grim.
"Okay~ I accept your challenge, but not a limited duel, but an infinite duel, and no duel agents are allowed!"
"You and I will fight until one side dies on the stage!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
The gods have given the nobles to conduct magic duels, and limited duels are already the limit.
After all, even if you lose, it's just a shame, although it was sad at the time, but endure it, and find the field back in the future.
Now he has directly engaged in the one-shot transaction of gambling on his life, which is a bit big.
Can a decent person gamble with his life?
Rosen was also slightly surprised, he didn't expect Seraf to be so kind.
Seraf thought he had frightened Rosen and sneered.
"Why, don't you dare to take it? If you don't dare to take it, go back to your northern border! ”
Heyagari frowned: "Marquis of Seraf, are you sure you want to do this?" ”
"I'm sure!"
Seraf looked resolute, but his heart was very empty.
Because Rosen is too young and full of youthful vigor, he really wants to agree with a hot head, and he should be the one who has the headache.
Because he is not sure of victory, if he does not get it right, he really folds his life into it, which is really a huge loss.
Thinking of this, he immediately gave another cushioned step.
He shouted, "I blocked the trade because the baron insulted me. If the baron could apologize to me in public, I would open up my business at once. ”
As soon as these words came out, Grenwell understood his trick of advancing and retreating, and immediately laughed.
"Seraf, you coward, be careful and put your life into it."
Seraf just didn't hear it, and stared at Rosen: "Young man, what do you say? ”
Rosen also stared at Seraf, and saw that his expression was resolute, but there was a faint pleading in his eyes, as if to speak.
"You give me a soft face, save my face, and everything else is easy to discuss."
Rosen laughed in his heart: 'It turned out to be a bluffing paper tiger.' ’
If you change to an ordinary person, you will really be bluffed by him, but Rosen is not an ordinary person, and he has been prepared for the worst.
Therefore, if you don't take the opportunity to slaughter him, I'm sorry for the golden title he just gets.
Thinking like this, Rosen quietly released a voice of his heart and gave his own conditions.
"Open a trade road, cut the border crossing fee in half, and pay me three million crowns, otherwise I will play with you!"
He shouted such a high compensation because he was sure that Seraf would not play with him because of this money, and Shattered Leaf City would definitely be able to come up with this money.
Because there are five million people in Shattered Leaf City, one person can pay less than one crown, and he can lose this money.
Of course, it will be very painful.
Seraf's face turned blue for a moment: "Don't go too far, don't you really dare to gamble on my life?"
He expected to spend 500,000 kroner to solve the problem, and as soon as the other party shouted 3 million, he decided to grit his teeth and duel.
As soon as Rosen looked at his expression, he knew that he had overscreamed.
But you can't retreat, and if you retreat, you will lose your momentum.
So, he immediately added a trump card to himself.
"Marquis, in the event of a duel, I will bring the Divine Iron Core. When the time comes, my mana is endless, so I will use the high-level Thero to play hide and seek with you, and I will consume you to death! ”
The Marquis of Seraf's heart shook violently, because he really couldn't break this move.
Knowing that he had miscalculated, his face turned pale, and he regretted it in his heart.
If you knew this, you might as well just agree to a limited duel.
Now it's good to set yourself up on the stove and roast yourself.
Gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and replied again.
"Three million is too much, two million! Otherwise, don't talk about it! ”
As soon as he heard this, Rosen knew that the marquis had succumbed.
So he relented a little.
"Two hundred and eighty!"
"Two hundred and six!"
"2.7 million crowns for a fixed price, a month to pay! Don't think about it afterwards, because I have a way to cure you! ”
At present, the new moon receives less than 100,000 people, and the real compensation is 2.7 million crowns, which is equivalent to 27 crowns per person, which is really a sky-high compensation.
Seraf's face turned blue again: "Although you are a golden baron, you have less than 100,000 people in your territory, how can you treat me?!" ”
"You don't think my spell missteps are real, do you?"
Before, he had to cast a spell wrong, because of his low status, but now he has become a golden baron and is independent from the north, so he doesn't have to pretend.
Seraf's heart shook again, and he almost cried out: "You are pretending?!" ”
If it is pretended, then with the opponent's magic talent, it is very likely to break through the master's cliff, and may even become a peak archmage.
His psychological advantage disappeared in a flash.
Rosen sensed the change in him and kept up the good work.
"yes, that's what I'm pretending."
"Of course, you can repay the debt now, but when I become an archmage in the future, I will ask your son for it, anyway, I am less than 17 years old, and I have a lot of good times."
"I know, you must still want to assassinate me, but my status is higher than yours, if you don't succeed and I get caught with ironclad evidence, I will go and complain to the God Emperor."
"When the time comes, you don't want to be a marquis!"
After saying this, Seraf's face was almost transparent, and his heart was directly hit to the bottom.
He let out a long breath: "Okay, then two million .7 million, pay the bill in a month." ”
Since he promised to pay the money, Rosen didn't mind a verbal apology.
He cleared his throat and looked 'suddenly': "Is this the reason that blocks my business?" ”
After carefully 'recalling', a trace of 'apology' appeared on Rosen's face.
"I'm a young man, I don't know etiquette, sometimes it's easy to say the wrong thing on an impulse, or it may be that the marquis's subordinates have misspoken things, so that the marquis has a misunderstanding."
"At that time, Sir Mason had a very bad attitude towards me, and I scolded him a few times, most likely because he had hatred in his heart, so he secretly provoked our relationship."
"In short, for whatever reason, since the Marquis feels that I have insulted his character, it is my fault, and I sincerely apologize to you, Marquis of Seraf."
Seraf breathed a sigh of relief, a 'smile' on his face.
"The baron has such a calm temperament, he should not deliberately insult me, it must be my subordinates who spread the word indiscriminately and caused me to have a misunderstanding."
"Since the baron has apologized to me and the misunderstanding has been resolved, I will naturally open up the business immediately."
"In order to express my apologies, from now on, as long as it is a ship of the Crescent Moon Collar, only half of the transit fee will be charged."
Rosen bowed slightly to the Marquis of Seraf to thank him.
"The Marquis has a tolerant temperament, he is really a master model, and I am very grateful for the generosity of the Marquis, I will definitely sell more goods to the East."
The Marquis of Seraf smiled and nodded, then turned to his son with a solemn face, and said, "When you go back, immediately strip Sir Mason of his title and let him go to the countryside to farm." ”
Olsson didn't understand why the situation had suddenly turned this way for a while, and he felt confused, but since it was his father's order, he could only obey it.
"Yes, father."
The people around were originally watching the excitement, but seeing the rapid change in the situation, they suddenly changed from tension to harmony, and they were all stunned.
Only a few archmages in the vicinity sensed one or two from the faint mana fluctuations on the two of them, and knew that these two must have reached a secret deal.
The Marquis of Grenville spread his hands and looked amused: "Seraf, I guess you must have suffered a big loss, right?" ”
The Marquis of Seraf solved the trouble, and his waist immediately hardened a lot, and he sneered.
"Grenwell, you're a barren and scorched earth in the west, don't say I'm not at a loss. Even if I suffer a loss, my life is much better than yours! ”
Marquis Grenwell shrugged: "Seraf, I think you're only left with a hard mouth." ”
Now that the trade dispute was over and Seraf relented, Rosen stopped pestering, secretly glanced at Seraf, reminded him to pay the bill in January, and then turned away.
After walking a few steps, a slightly familiar voice came from behind him.
"Master Rosen, are you free?"
When I turned my head, it was the fourth princess of the North, Haili Soya, who was also the representative of the mages in the North.
After a little thought, Lawson guessed that what she wanted to say was nothing more than one thing, which was the core of Shentie.
"Your Highness, if it's about the core of endless mana, I'm definitely not the only one who wants to talk to me."
As soon as the words fell, Heya Jiali's voice sounded: "That's right, our Eastern Realm is also very interested in the Endless Mana Core, and even more interested in flying magic weapons. ”
After speaking, she turned her head to look at a mage on the other side: "Cousin, aren't you interested?" ”
But it was the Southern Realm Mage's representative Oricharde Son, who was about thirty-eight years old and was already a Level 2 Archmage.
He shook his head: "I was originally interested, but since my cousin is interested, then I am not interested." ”
Another voice sounded, but it was the representative of the mage of the Western Realm, and the son of the duke.
"That's right, since my cousin is interested, I won't participate either."
The Duke of Eastern Storm is rich and wealthy, and he is very happy, and he has always been determined to win the talents he fancies.
Rather than being used as a foil, it is better to give up in the first place.
Anyway, now that you know the basics, go back and form a team of mages and study them carefully.
But then again, if the treatment given by the East Realm displeased Master Lawson and the two of them broke down, then they would immediately rush to take over.
After all, with Rosen, a genius mage, the progress of research will definitely be greatly shortened.
In this case, Heya Jiali looked at Hayley Soya again: "Cousin, what do you say?" ”
Hayley Soya sighed, "Cousin, he's yours. ”
Not to mention that his father doesn't value mages, even if he does, he can't grab the eastern realm, and Rosen has become a golden baron, and he can't rob it hard, so he can only give up.
A sweet smile suddenly appeared on Heyagari's face: "Master Lawson, let's go, let's go to my conference hall for a secret talk." ”
Rosen saluted Heya Jiali seriously: "It's an honor." ”
