Curt and Blue Kate only have a one-sided relationship, and they don't talk at all. But he was very impressed with Lan Kate, and he would never forget about it casually like he did with Shaman. Because Lankite's great achievements can be called the volume of vehicles, compared to Curt's history of struggle. He did not belong to any of the mainstream forces in the Thousand Laws City, but established a new faction on his own.

According to what Curt has read, Rankate is now Chinese New Year's Eve eight years old, has never been married, and has not had any scandals with any woman. He is a decent man with an unassailable reputation. When he was young, Lankite made countless contributions to the Thousand Laws City. The most widely circulated of these was the destruction of the orc army, which established Lankate's position.

At that time, an orc expeditionary force accidentally appeared in the Thousand Law Castle and used the Thousand Law City as a target for plunder. The newly promoted High Mage Lan Kate took the initiative to ask for battle, and with a motley mercenary force, he annihilated four thousand orcs. He became famous, but declined the gracious invitation of the Council of a Thousand Laws. This made Lankate's position delicate and delicate, and the other high-level mages didn't know whether to make friends or not.

In addition, Blue Kate's talent for spell casting is also rare in the world. He was twenty-two years old when he entered the Thousand Laws City, but he was only a master of spell casting. It was only seven years before Rankite had learned the secrets of advanced spells. This is a marvel that would normally take forty years to achieve the same level of mage, and it is simply too dazzling to look at.

In the end, Lankite chose a path that made people laugh and cry after becoming famous. Instead of delving into advanced spells, he threw himself into the mall. With the abundant funds he had accumulated, Lankite had built the most prosperous street in the city of Qianfa and owned half of the shops. This makes it difficult for others to evaluate Lankate, who can be said to have exceeded his duty as a mage.

The only thing that cannot be denied is that Lankite is one of the most powerful mages in the Thousand Laws City. And he is rich and has no handle to catch. Blue Kate is almost a perfect idol, and if it weren't for Randall's connections, Curt probably would have maintained a respect for Blue Kate.

Curt admired the courage of Lankate's rapid retreat, because the vast majority of people in this world do not know what it means to stop in moderation. What's more, judging from the results, wealth has given Lankite a huge voice, and in some respects can even compete with the Council of the Thousand Laws. In fact, he chose a shortcut to power, and minted his own castle out of gold coins.

Therefore, Curt was reluctant to make enemies of Lankate, and by all accounts, they were the same kind of people. If Curt and Blue Kate were to fight, the outcome would be extremely unpredictable. Compared to those decaying, corpse-like veteran mages, Rankat still retains a keen eye and strong action. As an emerging aristocrat of Thousand Laws City, Lan Kate is by no means a wasted person.

So Curt waited cautiously, ready to see Lan Kate's attitude clearly. Because of Randall's connections, he probably can't expect much kindness. But Blue Kate has his own city and won't be single-celled like Ramsay and Napier. Since he took the initiative to appear in front of Curt, he must have the purpose he wants to achieve. Otherwise, Lan Kate would have walked away without saying hello.

As thoughts swirled through Curt's mind, Lankate approached. He looked at Sharman with a smile and said half-jokingly:

"Miss Shaman, it's not right for you to do this. If you sell the rest of the fabric at a low price, how will my store do business? Of course, this is also to blame Daddy Quinn for being too rigid. In fact, as long as he tells me how many goods I brought, I will definitely buy them all. ”

"I'm sorry ......"

Sharman lowered his head nervously, looking a little overwhelmed. Lankate laughed indifferently, then he turned his head and said to Curt:

"Mr. Curt, I didn't expect you to come. I've heard about the Manticore Mercenary Regiment, and your courage is truly admirable. I appreciate your help in helping the merchant group to supply me on time. If you don't dislike it, you might as well come into my store and choose a few outfits, which can be regarded as a little thank you to you. ”

"Then you're welcome. ”

Curt replied cautiously and politely, and walked into the cloth shop under the guidance of Lan Kate. He vaguely guessed a little about the other party's intentions, the so-called kind, that is, to be able to use intuition to understand each other's actions.

The interior of the store is quite lavishly furnished and atmospheric, satisfying the vanity of most wealthy people. Curt picked two robes at random, and Lankate instructed the clerk to pack all the robes Curt had seen. Sharman was amazed and began to wonder how powerful Curt's background really was. She knew a lot about Lankate, but she had never seen Lankate be so polite to anyone.

Curt excused himself and accepted the robe. He deliberately followed Lankate's rhythm to see what the other party was up to. Later, Kate invited Curt and Sharman to tea, but Sharman wisely declined. As a descendant of a merchant, she has a keen sense of smell in some aspects. So Curt followed Lankate alone into the cloth shop and stepped up the stairs to the second floor.

To Ke's surprise, the second floor of the cloth shop was quite simply furnished. It is a small round room with four walls in vain. Eight large windows are located around the perimeter, allowing those inside to see the scenery from all angles. In the center of the room, there is a boxy table and two wooden chairs of fine workmanship. The chairs are covered with thick fur, which allows the user to sit very comfortably.

"I've heard you like tea. ”

With this opening statement, Kate Blue started the conversation. He expertly washes the teapot, pours it with water, and uses a spell to light the small stove used to make tea. Curt enjoyed the steaming heat as he listened to Lan Kate say nonchalantly:

"You're in trouble, Mr. Curt. Forgive me for being straight to the point, I don't like to have to dodge speech in private. ”

"I like your style. ”

Ke Ting nodded, looking indifferent. The conflict between him and Ramsay has long been known, and it is strange that Lankite does not know it. Curt was only curious about the purpose of Lankate's mention of this, and he considered his words, and said tentatively:

"What do you think, Mr. Lankate, you don't want to invite me to tea for no reason. ”

"Hahaha, that's right. ”

Lan Kate nodded bluntly, admitting that he did have ulterior motives. He folded his hands and calmly met Curt's gaze. They looked at each other quietly, trying to find out each other's hidden uneasiness. After a while, Lankate said in a calm and cold tone:

"I want you to stay away from Catherine, Curt. You are a young and promising mage, and you should not die young for the sake of women. I'm sorry, I'm threatening you. But that's the case, you should know that. In the face of the general trend, there is no point in being clever. You are indeed very powerful, but what can you do? Catherine is the center of the Shura field, and the strong men who fight around her have more strength than you. ”

"You want me to quit for free?"

Curt asked coldly, revealing his true face like Blue Kate. He looked at Lan Kate without fear, and at the same time said firmly and forcefully:

"Look at yourself, Mr. Lankate. How did you get to where you are today? Are you trying to tell me that every time you get into trouble, you run away? With all due respect, you'll just stay in the slums, with sewage and rats. If you really want to talk to me about something, please be sincere. ”

"I can get Jason to stop holding you accountable for what you've done, and smooth your grievances. ”

Kate Rankate's eyes faltered for a moment, then became rock-solid again. He confidently put forward the conditions, and after the present Curt was indifferent, he added:

"If you have other requests, you can do so. I have the money, and I can give you a few nice magic items. ”

“...... I'm disappointed, it's a dirty deal. I would love to ask—Mr. Lankate, how important is Miss Catherine to you, that you are willing to grovel to me?"

Curt looked bored and leaned back in his chair. Anger swept over Lan Kate's face, and he finally said calmly:

"I'm thirty-eight years old this year, and until I'm thirty-six, I haven't seen a woman in the eye. Whether they are hot dancers or noble princesses. ”

"Then I take back the preface, this is a respectable relationship. ”

Curt smiled noncommittally, thinking that Kate Lan might really be telling the truth to himself. He pondered for a few seconds, then said frankly:

"Believe it or not, Miss Catherine and I have no transgression relationship. How do you explain that...... To be precise, I'm just her shield. You can go on with Miss Catherine, and I can't guarantee whether she will be tempted or not. Of all the suitors, I personally feel that you are the most advantageous. And I'm not your enemy, that's all. ”

"Oh......"

Lankate immediately understood what Curt meant, but had to take a moment to confirm the credibility. His brow furrowed, and he took advantage of the gap in his thinking to brew the tea. Lying in front of a high-level mage is not the best policy, so Lankate is willing to trust Curt on a big scale. He slowly poured tea into the cup, and then said as he pushed the cup in front of Curt:

"You had a chance to blackmail me, why did you give up? Do you have any other plans when you have a good hand and fold? ”

"That's right. ”

Curt picked up his teacup and blew a few breaths. He took a sip and said calmly:

"Defeat Jason with me, Mr. Blue Kate. Defeat him once and for all, and it will be good for you and for me. ”

So Lankate's hand that reached out to take the cup froze in mid-air.
