"Mr. Jimenez, why are you in such a hurry to see me?" said Solomon.

The silver-haired old man in front of him was actually younger than Solomon, but the difference between the transcendent and the ordinary was as big as what he was looking at, Solomon looked as young as his grandson, and Jimenez was old.

Of course, with the development of magic research today, the lifespan that Jimenez can enjoy will be greatly advanced, but it is very difficult to prolong his life and maintain his youth at the same time, which can only rely on his own extraordinary physique, if you use foreign objects, it is not impossible, as long as you have the courage to be a guinea pig in the life research institute.

As a member of the Creation God Company, Jimenez of course knew who was in charge of the so-called Life Research Institute, which studied the mysteries of life, and he didn't dare to try their things casually, so he could only use the research results of some other research institutions to extend his life.

"There's something I need to ask the Duke for help. Jimenez smiled wryly.

Solomon smiled and nodded, he still admired Jimenez, who had seized the opportunity to meet him at a banquet of a certain earl.

Originally, I just wanted to hear from his mouth about the worrying nephew of the Marquis of Renagan, but the other party was very clever in the conversation, seizing the opportunity to show his ability and ambition, and get Solomon's attention.

After that, Solomon gave him some things to do, and he did a good job, and slowly changed from the line of Gera to the periphery of the company.

In the decades that followed, Jimenez showed great ability, certainly not extraordinary ability. It's business acumen and decisiveness. It can even be called ferocious. He also had a good eye and stood out among many of the white gloves of the Creator God Company, until Jimenez himself ascended to the position of Parliamentarian, and the Creation God Company sent him a secret invitation to join.

"It's my grandson. Jimenez said to Solomon, "Something has happened to my grandson. ”

Jimenez detailed Rand's story to Solomon, and finally said, "Half of this is true, and some of the other is my speculation, such as my guess that he was bewitched by someone on the arcane net. Now my son and I have decided to send him to Bethesda. The new plane that had just been discovered, so that his remarks would not cause trouble in St. Quentin. I hope that in the process of contributing to the family, he can understand how ridiculous his thinking is, and can come to his senses as soon as possible and become my lovely grandson again. But my gut told me that maybe we couldn't be so optimistic and that we had to help him again. And in this world, I believe that you are the only one who has the power to help him. ”

Jimenez looked at Solomon with a wistful gaze, and Solomon frowned slightly, his right hand caressing his chin.

A plea for help to Jimenez. He doesn't mind helping. But what he was thinking about at this time was how Rand's idea came about. According to Jimenez's reasoning, Rand's ideas should have arisen when he came into contact with the workers and the lower classes, and may have been influenced by some of the statements or ideas on the arcane skynet.

As a traverser, Solomon is no stranger to Rand's thoughts, which represent the germ of Cumminnathan's thoughts.

Where there is capitalism, there is Cumminneson, which is not surprising, although Solomon knew that Cumminneson's presence would panic the bourgeoisie, even in this other world, because the two sides were so incompatible.

But this world is different from the world before he crossed over, because the combination of money and power in this world, as well as violence, is definitely more suffocating than that world.

And he has almost achieved this goal by promoting business openly and covertly for many years, so that the new system created by the promotion is so closely integrated with the old interests, and the Jimenez family in front of him is an example.

Jimenez is not an extraordinary person, but his current role in the Creation God Company can be said to be greater than that of a high-level powerhouse below the legend, because he has extraordinary business ability and vision, and his own resources can be combined with the Creation God Company, which can act as a white glove for the Creation God Company outside, and even become a banner in the future.

However, his daughter-in-law came from a family of high-ranking mages, which shows that the old magicians have become accustomed to closely integrating with the new wealthy class.

But in such a flawless emerging family, there was a person like Rand.

However, Solomon didn't feel a special headache, Rand was neither his son nor his grandson, even if it was a descendant, but for him, whether the descendants of this world should be called his descendants is a question, according to the genes of the previous life and the bloodline of this life, the descendants should not be counted as his, and the soul level is unique, which is why his relationship with the royal family has faded after Queen Stephanie's abdication.

It is too normal for a time-traveler whose soul has penetrated into this world to choose the capitalist system instead of nerves to build the ideal society of Cumminnathan Nathan and choose the capitalist system.

Capitalism is extremely self-interested, and as a traverser, he can be said to be the loneliest in this world, and it would be funny to ask him to fight for a large group of people who don't know each other to be free from exploitation and oppression.

But now, as a power man who has become the top of the pyramid, he is only curious about how Cumminnathan developed in this world, but he is not concerned about Cumminnathan's possible destructive power.

This is because he doesn't think that Cumminneson can have as much destructive power and influence as in the world of his previous life, and secondly, even if he underestimates that Cumminnathan can really make waves like in his previous life, it doesn't matter to him anymore.

After all these years, he had long sensed the boredom of life, and he finally understood a little bit of how the gods felt to mortals, and too many fights between ordinary people were like games for the gods.

And the appearance of Cumminnathan made Solomon feel that the game of life had some meaning.

"Jimenez, I promise you to try to help him. You were right to let him go to Bethesda, cut off from St. Quentin for the time being. I'll see him in person, rest assured. I'll see him in another capacity. Find out where he got this idea out. In addition, it will not be easy for him to resist, and maybe he will be able to go back to the way he was and let go of those terrible thoughts. Solomon said.

"Thank you, Lord Duke, for bothering you to take care of my grandson's affairs. Jimenez hurriedly thanked him.

"No thanks, I haven't been active for a long time, and Bethesda's side is unusual, according to the surveys that have been passed back. You are in charge of the business part, and now let Rand represent your family, in fact, it is also to serve the Creation God Company, I have a rare trip, and I also want to see the plane that this high elf is very interested in, according to the information that has been transmitted back now, this plane is very huge, even more vast than ours here, and it may also be a gold-level plane. "Solomon said—

When Jimenez asked Solomon for help, he was in the old house of the Jimenez family. Amber, the Pale Wind Knight, was also sitting boredly on a chair in Rand's room, looking at him lazily.

"Mr. Amber. Are you my grandfather's hired guard? Rand also felt uncomfortable being guarded like this, so he simply chatted.

"No, no, no, I'm not your grandfather's subordinate, or mercenary. Amber shook her head and said, "I was sent by our captain to keep your grandfather safe. ”

"Your captain?" Rand said curiously.

"Well, a great woman, but there are more powerful people than her. Amber said alarmedly, "Boy, don't try to find anything from me, I won't tell you more, wait until you can represent Jimenez one day." ”

"It seems that there are some secrets in our house that I don't know about. Rand laughed at himself: "Okay, I won't ask that, just change the question, Mr. Amber, although I don't know how strong your strength is, I think at least the strength of a high-level powerhouse, and that Ms. Debbie should not be weaker than you." ”

"I'm definitely a little bit better than her. Amber said dissatisfied.

Rand smiled, clapped his hands lightly and said, "Why would a strong man like you be willing to serve others?"

"Young man, are you trying to plot against me?" Amber laughed, "With your funny theory of exploitation and oppression, against me, the exploited class?" I think you are completely mistaken, and I will never help you. ”

"I don't mean that, I just want to know why someone as capable as you would work so hard for others. "I know something about the lower classes, because they have no choice, and people like you, who have a much greater choice, may help me to refine my theory." ”

"Interesting. Amber stared at Rand for a moment, then said.

"Well, I'll tell you. Amber touched her head, "I used to be able to live a good life, but it was licking blood from the knife, but now it's much easier to get something, all you need is money, including status." ”

Although Amber was initially alert, she was induced by Rand to say something, which may be a manifestation of the Jimenez family's amazing communicative skills inherited from Rand.

After listening to Amber's words, he realized that he was wrong about Amber's class composition in front of his grandfather, who should actually belong to an exploiting group rather than some exploited person.

This group should be tight-knit and low-key, but its secret influence is very huge, and it can be seen from the tip of the iceberg that even people like his grandfather are only one of them, and Amber, who has the strength of a high-level powerhouse in front of him, is also only one member. The scope of responsibility of the two sides is different, but there will be overlap and cooperation.

As for Amber's thoughts, Rand can be regarded as understanding.

Before this new era, magicians and transcendents like Amber were in a state of dispersion. Either huddle like phantom mercenaries, or be large and loose like a magic guild.

They are separated from the world, which means that people like Amber are only hired by the nobles when they need them, but they will not really respect them, and those like the Wizards' Guild may be feared, but they will not really be trusted, and they are partly attached to the world, also because the strong also need worldly services when living or tempering, for example, if the mage needs to do alchemy experiments, it is too inefficient to collect materials by himself and his apprentices.

And in today's society, they have been closely integrated into it, instead of the past state of being like the past, and they have also enjoyed all kinds of conveniences brought by integrating into it; there are also changes in identity, although the society where money is supreme is mercenary, but at least there is an identity if you have money.

Like Amber, the Phantom Mercenary Group is equivalent to the status of a partner in a large organization or institution, relying on the organization, the Phantom Mercenary Group can not only get a fixed income, but also get many opportunities that ordinary people can't imagine at all.

Even if it is just about the improvement of his own strength, Amber used to be a high-level powerhouse, but the benefits he has obtained in the organization have made him reach the point of quasi-legend, and to pass the legend is not just by the support of resources. (To be continued.) )
