Old Mr. Clement didn't know where to take out a cup of steaming tea, blew the steaming steam, took a shallow sip and put the cup down, and then spoke.

"It turned out to be the captain-level uniform of the Blessed Knights of the Holy Macedonian Empire...... Or a complete set of four, it's really rare, even I've only seen similar imitations in some literature, I have to say you're lucky," Clement winked at the young lord, "How long has it been collecting this time?"

Li Ang sighed, he knew the meaning of this sentence, it must have been the old gentleman who teased him with the same set of excuses he said when he sold the other party the books last time, and he clearly remembered that the other party suddenly appeared at that time The words "castle ruins", but he was taken aback.

However, the ruins are still not ready to be leaked out at will, and the undiscovered ruins on the continent can be said to be an extremely scarce resource, if it is discovered that they have found two in a row, they will immediately be paid more attention, and it is conceivable that these eyes must be so strong that they can kill people with their eyes alone.

said that he began to stiffen his mouth, "Two months, I was indeed lucky, and I met a merchant who didn't know the goods." ”

"Lucky, really lucky!" Clement smiled before gesturing to Leon's side, "So the poor merchant sold you this weapon?"

"Yes," said Leon, whose face did not change.

"Can you show me?"

Clement took the long sword that Leon reluctantly handed over, sighed softly after a while, and said: "Sure enough, it is also a weapon of the Holy Macedonian Empire, but I feel like it has a life of its own, and after thousands of years, it does not seem lifeless, but has a smart and active atmosphere." ”

“...... Gao Jian!" Li Ang held back these two words for a long time, but he really had nothing to say. I also need to use the "scrutiny" skill given by the attribute panel to know the origin of these magic equipment, and the old comrades just look at it and say that they are not far from ten, and even the heroic soul can have a vague sense attached to the weapon, this fact is not ordinary.

He was sighing, and the old gentleman on the other side suddenly asked, "Is the underground ruins big?"

"What ruins?" Leon asked, looking up, puzzled.

"Sister's ...... This set has been useless in Lao Tzu's previous life, okay?" The young man's expression still remained surprised and confused, without any sense of pretentiousness, fully showing the style of acting.

Clement stroked his beard, "The young man is really interesting, there is really no flaw at all." ”

"W-What do you mean?" Leon continued to play dumb.

"Oh, it's okay," the old gentleman took another sip of tea, and seemed to have completely forgotten that he had just suddenly deceived the young man, and asked with a faint smile on his face, "What good things did that poor merchant sell you, is it convenient for me to open my eyes together?"

This old man's persistence made Li Ang helpless for a while, and he had the heart to refuse, but when he thought of the first meeting with the other party in the chaotic city, Clement did not deceive because of his age and experience, and the price offered was indeed very fair, and it could even be said that he was generous to the point of not being like words, and the money did solve his urgent needs, and from this point of view, he really had to accept the other party's feelings.

So he hesitated for a moment, organized the language, and then said, "There are indeed some books, but you know that there is a mage on my team, and she is also very interested in these things, and if you want, you can only pass ......"

"It's okay!" Clement interrupted the young man with a glint in his eyes, "It's rare to have a child so studious, it's too late for me to be happy as an old-timer, how can I care about waiting!"

Then he looked around the room, "And the environment here is beautiful, the air is fresh, and there are so many energetic children, it is much more comfortable than that ghost place in the chaotic capital." ”

"Huh?" Li Ang was stunned again, listening to this tone, could it be that the other party not only had the patience to wait, but also planned to make this his home?

"Isn't that good?" said the young man, "you must have a lot of things to do over there, and when my companion finishes reading these books, I'll make a special trip to the City of Chaos to deliver them." ”

"What's there to be busy," the old gentleman didn't care, "those people are calculating and calculating, nothing more than a little more and a little less scattered trivial matters, I am annoyed to death when I think about it, I can live a few more years if I have this opportunity to come out to breathe, don't the children sympathize with me as an old man at all?"

"Sympathize with your sister......" Leon didn't believe this treacherous old fox. And even if the other party is kind and amiable, and looks harmless to people and animals, but after all, the origin is mysterious and the strength is terrifying, so that he stays in the manor is like a huge light bulb, and he has to avoid doing anything in the future, how can he be as casual as before?

So Leon made up his mind to coax the old man away, but Clement's next words made him waver.

"I was in a very good mood for these two days, so if it is also a document from the age of faith, I can pay 10,000 to 20,000 gold coins per book, and of course, if I think it is very valuable for research, I can double it, as for those documents and research records that have special significance...... It depends on the value and there is no upper limit. ”

Li Ang rolled his eyes at the purchase price that exceeded the previous times, and at the same time he knew very well that the point of this sentence was "I was in a good mood these two days", and once the mood deteriorated, it meant that the price would definitely shrink. I have to say that this sentence hit the weakness of the lord of wealth, and Li Ang just made a rough calculation and began to light up in his eyes, and his heart began to hesitate.

He is really short of money now, don't look at the more than 200,000 gold coins he carried when he came back from the chaotic capital, the young lord at that time can be described as high-spirited, but when he returned to Campbell, he realized that this money was really nothing.

The territory is in ruins, the manor is rebuilt, the army is reorganized, and a free trade zone is established...... This is not counting the daily expenses, such as the resettlement of refugees in Brown Bear Town, the hiring of skilled workers, and the variety of talents, and so on, and in addition to the equipment of your companions, you don't update the equipment of your companions? The arrears of the mentor have not been repaid? These add up to a huge black hole that can easily swallow up a lot of money.

And he has not yet made any investment, the tax amount of each village and town has to be reformulated, and the free trade zone must wait for the completion of the construction to slowly expand its influence before it can turn from a huge loss to a surplus, even if there are still undeveloped resources in the territory, it will also have to come little by little, until the transaction channel with Edward is stable, it can be regarded as a stable source of funds.

So the young lord, although he was glamorous in appearance, was actually about to burn out, and when he heard Clement's words, he was as if he had been touched by the devil - wasn't it just that there was an old gentleman in the manor who was eating leisure?

"For the sake of the money...... It's not a big deal!"

The old gentleman looked at the young man who was entangled, a hint of clarity flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, his expression was full of interest, and he smiled and added a heavy weight again.

"And...... As long as you and that little girl are willing, she can study with me, and maybe I, an old man, can give some pointers, right? As for the alchemy master who is with you, you are also welcome to come and exchange experiences when you are fine. ”

"This room is yours! you can stay as long as you want!" Leon stood up with a pout, "If you need anything, we will make you feel at home!"

......

When the young man walked out of the big house that "himself" belonged to, he took a deep breath and couldn't help but laugh for a long time.

"It's almost earned," Li Ang's heart was full ......of joy, "Put aside the money first, with such a coaxing old gentleman to guide you, the progress of Comrade Erin is just around the corner!"

However, he ignored Clement's suggestion that Kaka also came to exchange experiences, and for an apprentice who knew the temperament of the Mentor, the slightest remark would inevitably provoke a disdainful roar from the Alchemist.

Although the manor now has an uncontrolled factor that leads to the loss of some freedom, the price paid is negligible compared to the possibility of establishing a certain amount of "friendship" with an unpredictable powerhouse.

"It's earned!" Leon sighed again, and then he walked to Caterina's quarters, wanting to discuss with the girl whether he could lend the whole uniform to Clement for a few days to study - this was what the old gentleman had specially requested before he came out, we are all young people, how can we respect the old and love the young?

Suddenly, Li Ang's footsteps paused, he grabbed his hair, and thought with an embarrassed face: "After all, I went to ask him about his intention, why didn't I ask in the end, and I came out so happily?"

"It's a lust for profit!" the young lord harshly criticized his actions.
