Once again, Peter prayed in his heart for Wang Qinian, hoping that he would live a long life.

So much so that when he passed by the gate of the inner city, he couldn't help but take a second look. The Mr. Solomon he revered lived in the city lord's mansion, and when the exchange was officially completed, Wang Qinian's status changed from one of the three internal affairs officials to the internal affairs officials, and the nominal financial officials could be on an equal footing with him, but in fact, Wang Qinian's status in the Free City was second only to the city lord and the Xi mage, and even Bernhard's second mage was not as important as him.

Of course, this status can no longer live in the outer city, so Wang Qinian has already moved into the inner city, because he is not married, and he is still Agatha's teacher, so Franklin directly designated a place for him to live in the city lord's mansion, from which it can be seen that his status in the free city has been extraordinary.

The wind blew over, and Peter saw two men in thick black robes coming out of the inner city, and they both seemed to have the same emblem on their left chest, which was a hideous white skeleton.

Strangely enough, Peter vaguely heard the two men seem to be referring to Mr. Solomon, whom he admires, but that tone does not seem to be kind.

"The skeleton man is gone?" the flames in the fireplace jumped, snapping.

"Gone. The Dark Merchants are really troublesome, this is the second time, and it seems that they will not give up. Chris said in a deep voice, "But, Owen, you can rest assured that we won't accede to Duncan's request under any circumstances." If the skeletons really want to get along with us, then let's do it. ”

"Thank you, City Lord and Master Chris. Wang Qinian said gratefully.

A year ago, the Dark Merchants sent emissaries to the Free City, and they had already identified Wang Qinian and identified their slave supervisor in Modo as having been killed by Wang Qinian.

Wang Qinian didn't deny it, but he was a little surprised that the dark merchant found him a little later than expected.

He didn't know that although Tygan realized that he might still have a zài, before going out of the city to track him, he had only reported the traces of the current slave catchers to the skeleton corps, but he did not mention his zài, and planned to report it together after he was caught.

When Tygan and his men died, the skeleton men had a hard time investigating. Tiegan had identified the former slave catcher as John Sr., and John Sr. and Wang had never been to Tugenhaben since returning to Free City.

In the end, it took nearly two years of repeated investigation for the investigators of the skeleton to confirm that the three people who came to Tugenhaben with Old John at the beginning, except for Old John himself, who should be a former slave catcher from Tigan, and the other young man was consistent with the identity of the dark chess bought by the group at the beginning, a magic apprentice named Owen.

The third suspect, after a lot of effort, was confirmed to be a former slave catcher, and the strangest thing was that this team member had been selling tickets at the Baroque Theater for a month, and it was precisely because he had been in existence for the longest time that the investigators had received the most information.

In the end, it was from this third suspect that he touched the Solomon Company, and then matched the identities of Wang Qinian and the dark chess in the general group.

Wang Qinian was not afraid of being approached by the dark merchant, anyway, since he decided to break away from the dark merchant, he has been preparing for this day, he does not want to trade slaves for a lifetime, even if he needs to trade slaves again, it must be for himself, not for the dark merchant.

He's not what he was when he first arrived in Liberty City, and neither Franklin nor Chris will abandon him casually.

The result of the negotiations between the two sides was, of course, that the negotiations collapsed, and the dark merchants hoped that the Free City would hand over Wang Qinian.

This request may have been possible when Wang Qinian had only arrived in the Free City, after all, he was not very conspicuous at that time, but to this point, Wang Qinian's status in the Free City is second only to the City Lord and Chris, and it is impossible for him to agree to the Dark Merchant regardless of his importance to the Free City or Franklin's face.

From the original skeleton investigators to the Dark Merchants sending envoys, none of them served their intended purpose.

"Although the skeleton people are notorious and have some power in all countries, our free city is not vegetarian, and we have a regular army, and they should not dare to mess around in our sphere of influence. Chris said lightly.

"I am not afraid of them. Wang Qinian said.

He is indeed not afraid, as Chris said, it is impossible for the skeleton people to directly attack the Free City because of Wang Qinian, although the dark merchant has a lot of slave hunting groups and large slave hunting teams, but they are too scattered, if he wants to concentrate, it can attract the attention of the Free City.

But once it is concentrated, I am afraid that he will be wary of the country where he is located, because the power is enough to capture a city.

However, it is most likely that the skeleton will send assassins or killers to get rid of Wang Qinian.

When the skeletal investigators first arrived, Bernhard also testified as a witness that the slave catchers had been attacked by the Ante Ant-men before they were killed.

However, the news that Tuxman had sent back proved that the slave catcher team had made huge gains, as high as the loss of more than one hundred and fifty wood elf slaves, and the death of the slave supervisor was still counted on Wang Qinian and a few other people who were still alive.

Moreover, the skeleton investigators have obtained accurate information, and Wang Qinian's Solomon Company does have fifty wood elves in existence.

The Dark Merchant is enraged, not only because of the loss of money, but also because of the loss of face.

If his subordinates can betray him like this, and hide his slaves privately, and then turn their faces and deny people, then his reputation in the underworld will be lost.

The words Duncan can be associated with cruelty, cruelty, and unconscionability, but they can't be thrown on the ground by a kid.

Therefore, the second visit of the Skeleton Corps brought the Dark Merchant's ultimatum, and if the Free City refused to hand over the people, then the Dark Merchant would do whatever it took to do so.

"As long as you don't leave the city, they will have a hard time dealing with you. Bernhard patted Wang Qinian on the shoulder.

"Let's go, go to the underground base, I haven't played two magic chess games for a long time, and by the way, I got some information on the ancient elven language, Owen, you can take a look." Chris said to Wang Qinian with anticipation.

The last time he used Elven magic to deal with Wolf in the beast plain, Wang Qinian confessed the secret of the ancient Elven language to Chris after returning to the Free City.

Chris didn't believe it when he first heard that Wang had deciphered some ancient Elfish language, but after Bernhard proved that he had used elven magic, and Wang Qinian translated the hidden materials in the library in front of him, Chris had to believe it.

However, Chris only has that bit of information in his hand, and he has been trying to exchange with others in the past few years, and recently he has not known where to get some records of ancient elves.

It's a pity that the record information he exchanged this time has nothing to do with magic spells, it is purely the poems of the High Elves and the like, which makes Wang Qinian also disappointed.

The three elven spells he had already mastered were all useful, and it would certainly be better if he could master more.

Now that his mage level has reached the eighth level, he can build the vast majority of third-level spell models and a very small number of fourth-level spell models, and he is steadily moving towards the path of an intermediate mage.

Before intermediate mages, the biggest obstacle to magic improvement was magic power, and many mages and apprentices couldn't afford to burn this money, so progress on the magic path was slow.

Although the mage rank is equivalent to the elite class on earth in this world, and even magic apprentices can definitely find someone to hire and don't have to worry about life, this does not mean that low-level mages can take a tube of potions a day to help refine their magic power.

Let's review the potions that can be purchased in the Wizards' Guild with gold, Blueberry Potion is ten Modor Silver Coins per tube, and Blackberry Potion is two Modor Gold Coins.

If you use a tube of blueberry potion every day, you will need about fifteen moto gold coins for a month, and one hundred and eighty modo gold coins for a year, which is equivalent to about three thousand six hundred mota silver coins, which is equivalent to the income of a small shop for a year.

If you use a tube of Blackberry Potion every day, you will need about 60 Modo Gold Coin for a month and 720 Modo Gold Coin for a year, which is about 14,000 Modo Silver Coins.

The price of a wood elf slave is about two hundred and fifty Modo gold coins, and the original reward that Zanqi promised Wang Qinian was one thousand Modo gold coins, if it is compared with the price of the potion, it will be that the magician is really burning money before breaking through the intermediate mage and saving the bottleneck of magic power.

Of course, you can also choose not to burn money, but that means falling behind others, or you have extraordinary talent.

This is only a magician's investment in basic magic training, if you want to study alchemy or other derivatives of magic, you need a lot of investment before you reach a certain level.

Only after reaching a certain level, such as an intermediate mage, who has risen from the service level to the research level, and can participate in a certain aspect of research in some large organizations or national-level forces, then naturally someone will provide the resources needed for cultivation on a regular basis, which is also the reason why people who aspire to become magicians are very eager to enter the major magic academies, because as long as they can become one of the students, each student can enjoy different courses of "grants" and "scholarships" Bursaries include money and some medicines that provide for the basic livelihood of students, while scholarships are additional benefits that only honor students can enjoy.

Senior mages are already qualified to preside over a certain aspect of research for a large organization or national power, some senior mages who are unwilling to be restrained will conduct their own independent research, they will sell some simple research results or low-level magic, alchemy products can be exchanged for a rich material life, and the middle and high-level research results are not only to arm themselves, but to prepare for exploring the deeper nature of magic, that is, to exchange with other mages.

So it is conceivable that in the past three years, Wang Qinian has been able to break through to the current point by burning money, and a tube of blackberry medicine a day is a luxury for others, but for him who owns Solomon's company, it is not a problem at all, every film he makes by himself, after the Solomon company dividends according to shares, can bring him more than 30,000 Modo silver coins, and it is still increasing; Although the agent dividend for the city lord's mansion as a trade agent is not as good as the income of Shadow Animation, it is very stable, and these add up, Wang Qinian's monthly income is at least more than 1,000 Modo gold coins。

But among the three shareholders of the Solomon Company, Wang Qinian did not earn the most, the one who earned the most was Mr. Obier, who hugged his thighs, in addition to the company's infrared, he also had other businesses to do, such as taking over all kinds of goods released by the Solomon Company for the City Lord's Mansion, which was originally one of the reasons why he desperately hugged the City Lord's Mansion and Wang Qinian's thighs.

For Wang Qinian, he wished that everything related to magicians could be measured in money, which would be more beneficial to him and greatly speed up his path to magicianism.

Even so, for a magician who is not from an academy, Wang Qinian's path to a magician is already unimaginably high, you must know that he only became an official mage from an apprentice three years ago.
