Collect [] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

This nameplate allows Lina to go up to the third floor of the comptoir, but not to the top-of-the-line equipment showroom on the fourth floor and the small auction halls on the fifth and sixth floors

The first and second floors are all some materials and fine-level equipment, and the third layer will appear all kinds of rare fine-level equipment, and there will also be epic-level equipment, Lina entered the hall and walked directly to the third floor

At this time, the group happened to be coming down from the upper floor, led by a handsome young man in his twenties, and there was a momentum of being in a high position for many years on his square face, he saw Lina's eyes light up first, and then showed a puzzled expression, and finally lost his voice: "Lina"

Lina raised her head and greeted politely with a hint of a smile and said, "Count Cardiff has seen you again."

The young Earl Cardiff belonged to the Tucson family and belonged to the sixth layer of the floating island giants, and he looked at Lina at the moment, his eyes lit up, and he praised unabashedly: "Lina, you are really getting more and more beautiful and moving now, especially this mask is completely ingenious and ingenious, if I am not mistaken, the pattern on it is not only a decorative function, but also a magic array with a special function, just looking at the craftsmanship and design art of this zuò, it is not inferior to the masterpiece of the level of the builder."

In the past, Lina was indifferent to such compliments, but today, Count Cardiff's words made Lina feel extremely happy, her smile became sincere, she nodded slightly, and greeted Count Cardiff and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

Cardiff's eyes lit up, his expression became more attentive, he bowed and said, "It's great to see you here again, is there anything I can do for you, it's okay, just ask."

"Oh, I'm just going to walk around casually and see if there's anything you like, don't bother you," Lina declined, although she had seen one of the most powerful figures of the Tucson family on many occasions in the past, but the two families did not have any friendship, so counting today, she was only speaking alone with the Earl of Cardiff for the third time

Cardiff refused to give up his repeated offering, and Lina finally sensed that the Earl Cardiff's attitude seemed to be overly attentive

"Maybe we can go to the fourth floor and talk, there must be something you need there," the Earl of Cardiff's eyes became more and more intense, and he reached out to take Lina's arm, although this move was a bit reckless, but it was undeniable that his demeanor was still full of the elegance of a child of the family, and it did not seem obscene

Lina's face turned cold, she took a step back, let go of Earl Cardiff's hand, and said coldly: "Lord Earl, please respect yourself, I just need to pick something on the third floor."

Cardiff raised his eyebrows, withdrew his hand, and said with a smile: "Lina, now Gordon obviously can't come back, you are a great mage, but in my eyes, I think you are a beautiful and extremely charming woman, I am fascinated by you, so here is an official invitation to Lina to join the Tucson family, I like you, and I need you to help me get the position of Duke of Tucson."

Then Cardiff paused, stared at Lina and said solemnly: "And then you were the Duchess, this is a promise, a public promise"

Lina frowned, taking another step back to pull away

Cardiff stood still, no longer chasing after her, just staring at her with fiery eyes

Lina's heart was slightly touched

Since Gordon was lost in the Rocky Plane, she was indeed in pain and confusion for a long time, and she was a little overwhelmed, as if the track of more than ten years of life had disappeared together, and her entire life was only left to defend the Green Forest Plane for Gordon, regardless of whether he could come back or not

In fact, the relationship between the Thirteen Knights and Gordon was looser than outsiders thought, they were more like a group of partners who started a business together, rather than a leader and subordinates, and Gordon didn't make many rules to restrain them, and more relied on personal charm to gather them around him, and from this point of view, Lina didn't owe Gordon anything, not even a promise

Lina's thoughts involuntarily turned to Richard, taking him as a contrast, this teenager was completely different from his father, Richard had a much closer relationship with his followers, not only was he bound by the master and slave of the magic contract, and from his experience in Farrow these days, Richard was the absolute leader and leader, and single-handedly took care of the followers from construction to equipment, so that the followers were more closely connected with Richard

If nothing had happened, then in a few years, Lina would have held on to the Green Forest and handed over the plane to Richard Gadiv's Tiyì, which might really make her happy

For a woman, the Duchess is probably happier than the lonely Grand Magister, and Cardiff, who received the title of Earl in his twenties, has undoubtedly a good reputation in his private life, which is a rare thing

But now that Lina had an extra mask on her face, and a gentle touch that could cling to her skin, she involuntarily raised her hand and gently touched the cheek under the mask with the back of her hand

So she said softly, "I'm sorry, I don't want to leave Akmund," and in the last few syllables, Lina's voice became extremely firm

Earl Cardiff's gaze became more and more fiery with the small action of Lina raising her hand and touching the mask, the archmage had a strong charm like a flame-like mature woman, but in an instant just now, she revealed a confused expression like a girl who had never been in the world, and the huge contrast was full of indescribable temptation, which made him involuntarily feel galloping

However, Lina's answer was like a basin of ice water, Cardiff's face immediately became very ugly, and a breath of unwillingness blocked his chest, and he almost roared: "Why is there anything in the Tucson family that is not as good as Akmund, am I not sincere enough, I have liked you since the first time I saw you, and now Gordon can't come back at all, among the five knights he left behind, except for you, the rest are already in a de facto ** state, why do you have to work for Akmund, what can they give you?"

What can Akmund give her, what is the structure on his chest, or the 200,000 gold coins in his hand, is not based on Lina's special talent and the more powerful the later he gets, it is only a matter of time before he gets more fourth-order constructions, as for the 200,000 gold coins, although it is a huge amount of money, it is only a huge amount of money

Lina's thoughts are a little erratic at the moment, and many of the past events that she usually deliberately don't recall are irrepressibly surging up

Since her girlhood, Gordon has taken her to the east and west, experienced countless ups and downs, and also seen many continents, and it is Gordon who unfolds an incomparably vast and grand world in front of her

When Gordon was gone, Richard returned

The first time I saw Richard, I still had the youthfulness of a teenager, and then there were more obvious changes every time, like Gordon, I could always see the birth of miracles in his hands, but Richard and Gordon were different, more delicate than Gordon, and more able to understand and capture the hearts of others

What Lina remembered was that the earrings and mask were now on her face with earrings, so instead of gold or gear, Akmund gave her the experience of growth and two small gifts

Seeing Lina smile and not answering, the face of the Earl Cardiff was even more ugly, he knew his responsibilities and goals since he was a child, and he was deliberately self-disciplined, and even called himself clean, but after all, he was still young, and he had gained enough praise and praise in social occasions in the past, and he was spoiled by it, and he could not accept his sincerity at all, and he would be rejected

At this time, the people around Cardiff began to help: "Akmund, the famous poor Lord Lina, an archmage like you needs to sell his equipment, is it necessary to mix with those poor ghosts?"

"It's Lord Lina, you don't know yet, the reason why your two pieces of equipment were able to sell for a high price last time were actually purchased by His Excellency the Earl in his personal name, otherwise how could they be worth that price with those two low-level goods?"

Lina was stunned and looked up at Cardiff

Cardiff looked at Lina with a very serious expression and said: "Lina, please believe in my sincerity, I invite you to fight with me, instead of locking you in the back garden, we will go together to win the position of the heir of the family, and jointly win the title, and in the future, every Qiē on the floating island and even the family territory will be mine and yours."

It has to be said that Cardiff's Tiyì is actually quite seductive and impactful, except that he appeared at a very wrong time

Lina sighed and shook her head, then took a step back to turn away

At this time, the people around Cardiff didn't do anything, a middle-aged nobleman dressed in luxurious clothes sneered and said: "Lord Lina, you are not smart enough, what is the benefit of following Akmund, you can't even afford to buy an epic level of equipment, if I guessed correctly, what equipment do you want to sell, an epic piece of equipment needs at least 100,000 gold coins to get it, and I heard that it is generally difficult for Akmunds to go out more than 1,000 gold coins, hahaha"

Count Cardiff frowned slightly and said softly, "Uncle"

But the middle-aged nobleman obviously didn't mean to be restrained, and it was more likely that he knew what to say and when

Lina's anger surged, and her face turned cold: "What do you mean, what am I doing here, do I need to report to you first, I don't think you can afford the consequences of insulting Akmund."

The middle-aged aristocrat sneered and shrugged his shoulders: "I'm just saying a well-known fact, if the truth is insulting Akmund, then I'm insulting Akmund."
