These days in the middle of the month were the days when Daniel received orders and replies from customers, and not only the Legion Commander, but also other forces that maintained friendly relations with the Wizarding Society often purchased magic potions from him.

Every month he receives money or gifts from all over the world.

Because he couldn't keep himself busy, he hired some talented apprentices to help him with his affairs. After all, there are very few ways for apprentices to earn extra contribution points every month except for that pitiful subsidy, which can be regarded as helping the younger generation.

Clarke, an apprentice, pushed the door through the wall, followed by a fair-faced witch with a grim expression.

"Teacher, Master Holt has arrived."

Daniel stood up from behind the desk where the letters piled up and greeted him, "Claire, long time no see. I heard that you were recently taught by an adult? ”

The witch was none other than Claire Holt.

Being favored by the Wizarding Guild Mentor is a great thing, but Claire has rarely smiled since returning from the Dark World, and even when she hears the person say that he is interested in her, Claire's heart is unwavering.

Claire replied, "It's Lord Salisbury, but he hasn't decided to take me as an apprentice yet." ”

It turned out that the mentor was Lord Salisbury, Daniel was stunned for a second before laughing, "It's just a matter of time." The castle is rumored that you have been promoted by dual talents, and even if Lord Salisbury does not accept you, other mentors will compete to take you. You don't have to worry about that person's entanglement. ”

He is talking about the long-standing peach-colored scandal in Fort Edmund, where her mentor Finn pursues Claire regardless of her identity, and she has no choice but to flee Fort Edmund early.

Claire shook her head calmly: "It's not a double talent. Do you have anything to do with me? ”

Daniel then remembered the purpose of inviting her over, smiled and took out a small black cloth bag from the magic ring, handed it over, and said, "This is a gift from someone." ”

"Gifts?" Claire wondered, "Did Hawkins send it?" She has few friends in the Wizarding Society, and the only one with whom she has the best relationship is Hawkins, who is also from Windhaven. Why did he give himself a gift, though? And why go through Daniel?

When I opened it, it was an unknown plant seed, or a magic plant.

This gift is worth a lot, and it's no wonder that Daniel asked her to come over in person instead of sending someone to send it.

Daniel leaned over to take a look, and said in a loud voice: "This kid has a lot of money, it turned out to be the seed of a magic plant, it is estimated that it is a new variety, otherwise he would not have sent it to you as soon as he came back." ”

Claire wondered, "You haven't said who it is?" ”

Daniel laughed and said, "There are not many people who can give such a valuable gift, don't you know whose heart you stole from?" ”

A sunny and resolute face came to mind, and Claire couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart. She didn't know whose heart she had stolen, but the person who had stolen her heart was gone.

Daniel saw that Claire's expression was wrong, and hurriedly uncovered the mystery and said, "Ahem, I worked with you as a Herman knight." Didn't you say before that he was missing on a mission? You're going to go that time, too. Recently he came back and wrote to me that the team had been transferred to the new city and asked me to send the enchanted weapon I promised him. This packet of seeds was sent with the letter, so I can pass it on to you. ”

"You say Herman isn't dead?"

Claire gripped the cloth bag tightly, and her sad expression disappeared in an instant, leaving only her eyes full of excitement.

Daniel saw her transformation, and it quickly became clear in his heart that Claire must also be interested in that knight, otherwise he would not have been able to change his mood so much just by hearing his news. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: the thing of feelings is really strange, Mentor Finn is not only powerful, high-powered, and much more handsome than Herman, but he has never been able to capture Claire's heart. On the other hand, Herman is just a small source knight, and it only takes a few months to work with Claire to bring the other party to the fall, which is simply amazing.

"Still, you can use it to get there."

A thought crossed his mind, and Daniel smiled casually and said, "Yes." He came back on the 8th, and you have to ask him for the details. But you shouldn't have contact information, otherwise he wouldn't have passed me on the gift, probably to tell you that he's not dead. ”

It's great that he's not dead.

The grief that had been building up for months disappeared completely in a moment, and Claire was ecstatic and then worried: "Is he hurt?" Have you asked for a cure? ”

Daniel laughed and teased, "Don't worry, he's not hurt." Even if you are injured, the Knights are responsible for treatment, and you can't ask me for it, so you are concerned about it. ”

Claire's face turned red and she didn't answer. She just wanted to get out of here now and find an excuse to go back to the Dark City.

Daniel saw that her heart was no longer here, and smiled: "Want to go to the new city? ”

Claire hesitated for a moment before nodding and asking, "Do you have a way?" ”

Even if she is a gifted wizard, she can't go wherever she wants, and before becoming a mentor, both wizards and knights must obey the arrangements of the wizarding council. Therefore, even if she wants to go to the Dark City, she must receive the relevant tasks. And there will be no large-scale battles on the side of the Dark City for the time being, so there can only be one wizard stationed at most.

If she passes, someone else will have to come back.

It is undoubtedly very difficult to squeeze out a wizard for nothing.

Daniel didn't answer, but smiled mysteriously: "It seems that the people from the Holt family are still on the way." ”

"What?" The headless words made Claire feel strange.

Daniel didn't continue to beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "The wizard will open the new city as a hub connecting the two worlds, it is bound to rise soon, and the interests it contains can be seen by even the blind to be very huge, and the wizard will be the master of the new city, so naturally he will not give up the benefits to others." Haven't you noticed that wizards are going to be undercurrents lately?

"The Trofois and Rouen families in the territory, the three major families in the kingdom that are close to the Wizarding Order have sent emissaries to Fort Edmund, and the other three are close to each other, and the emissaries arrived a month ago. My uncle came yesterday, and you Holt family should have arrived in the next few days. ”

Claire really didn't know about it, because she wasn't in the wizarding church at all during this time, but was taken by the mentor to a very far, very old place, where she was bored with endless books and didn't know anything outside.

Fortunately, Claire wouldn't know how to get through this sad time.

It took a few days for her to be brought back.

"Is this what adults call an opportunity to enter a new chapter?"

Claire's thoughts flickered, remembering what the adult had said when she left. According to her perception of that adult, the other party never said meaningless things or did meaningless things.

That adult brought her back at this time, there must be a deep meaning, maybe this is an opportunity to obtain identity and be recognized by adults.

"All the five major families have sent people over...... It has to do with the new town. Claire's quick thoughts quickly concluded, "You mean, the Wizards Association plans to form a joint chamber of commerce to carry out trade between the two realms, and the five families are here to fight for a share?" ”

Daniel nodded appreciatively: "I have received accurate news from the teacher, in order to seize the interests of the new city, and in order to curb the growth of the church's power in Sagacony, the wizarding society has decided to open a bank and a chamber of commerce in the new city, which will be used to trade with the dwarves and obtain the resources of the dark world. There is no need to think about the bank, it must be the Levloix and Rouen families who are responsible, after all, they are their own people. As for the Chamber of Commerce, the mentors decided to let the five families compete, and the winner won the management rights. ”

The Jovrois and Rouen families are powerful throughout the kingdom, but their headquarters are located in Roy and Bourbon, and the core members of each generation have joined the Wizarding Society and the Knights, and have served the Wizarding Society all their lives.

The main bank that the wizarding society is going to open in the dark city this time is the power stone business and the safe deposit box business, and this key position naturally has to be handed over to its own people, so that the mentors of the two families in the wizarding society can compete.

As for the Holt family in the Haven, the Clyde family in the Dijon Mountains, and the Byron family in King's Bridge, these three families are both vassals of the Wizarding Order and allies of the Wizarding Society within the Kingdom of Tasylvania.

The Holt family is an old powerhouse that started with overseas trade, the Claire family is an ancient family backed by the Dijon Mountains, the Byron family has been married to the royal family from generation to generation, and its political influence in the country is not inferior to that of dukes and princes.

They are an important force in providing logistical assistance and fresh blood to the Wizarding Society. If Joffroy and Rouen are the legs that support the Wizards' Movement, then the Three Families are the other leg that supports the Wizards' Society. For thousands of years, they have provided the Wizarding Guild with many secret information about the church and the king, and have prevented many major crises in advance.

And in the wizarding society, almost all of them are knights and wizards of these five families. Up to the Mentor Legion Commander, down to the Apprentice Soldier.

Daniel is the contemporary patriarch of the Clyde family, the eldest son of the Earl of the Kingdom; Claire is the contemporary patriarch of the Holt family, the daughter of the Viscount of the Kingdom, and the others also have different backgrounds.

It can be said that there are a large number of knights who have jumped from the civilian class to earth knights and sky knights, but only the bloodlines of the five major families among wizards have the opportunity to be promoted to talents and realms.

Because only the great nobles can support the terrifying consumption of wizard promotion.

The United Chamber of Commerce formed this time is for the Vault Dweller, and its business scope is special transcendent materials and power stones, which is an excellent opportunity for the five major families to make the family grow by leaps and bounds, so no one is willing to be left behind.

This is a new chapter that will change the power structure of the kingdom.

Claire thought of this, but she didn't understand how she could get involved.

She asked: "We can't get involved in business matters, what does it have to do with whether I can go to Xincheng or not?" ”

Daniel smiled slightly and said, "As long as the Clyde family finally enters the new city, I promise to transfer you to the first squadron of the ninth brigade as a wizard with the team, how about it?" ”

Claire was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You want me to convince the family to give up the struggle for management and help you instead?" ”

Daniel nodded: "The Windhaven is the core sphere of influence of the Elemental Wind, if your family is reused within the Wizarding Guild, the pressure from the church will definitely be greater, right?" I'm afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses, and even your original maritime trade will be affected, after all, both sailors and dock coolies are the most faithful believers of the goddess, and as long as the church lets out a little noise, your fleet can be paralyzed. The Holt family has always relied on the sea to eat the sea, and if the fleet has problems, they are afraid that they will suffer heavy losses.

"—As long as you can convince your family to cooperate with us, I can guarantee your interests in the Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the Clyde family—this is a double win, you might as well think about it."

Although Claire left home early, she also received a good aristocratic education before leaving home, so she naturally would not make a decision easily because of Daniel's words, she procrastinated: "I can't do the family affairs yet." ”

Daniel didn't care and smiled: "It's okay, you can wait for the people of your family to come, my promise has always been valid...... This time the stakes are very high, and the envoys should be the second or third people in the family, and they are not afraid that they will not be able to be the masters. ”

"Okay, I'll promise to help you ask the family what it means." Claire replied.

Daniel smiled slightly: "Wait for the good news." ”
