Chapter 231: The Forgotten Man
On top of the rocky mountains, pitch-black ore emerges from between the various rock walls, and the sharpness is incomparable.
The gravel on the road was also paved with a jagged layer, and the rocks had even cracked in the heat.
Ria was accompanied by several subhuman guards.
Since the exposure of Clavenna's subhuman escorts in the South, they no longer need to hide their identities, but can show their heads openly.
Although, the empire has regulations that prohibit the entry of sub-people,
However, the sub-people found in the territory, the nobles can dispose of them at will.
Therefore, the establishment of guards is not considered a violation of the regulations.
Leah wore a metal miner's hat and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Looking at the sun hanging high in the sky, he narrowed his eyes.
In the middle of the mine, several workers approached with a large mirror.
The mirror was so long that it was as tall as a man, and it could almost reflect Leah completely.
At the top of the mirror is a pair of black ores embedded in the mirror, closed as tightly as eyes.
Even so, it still feels a little weird.
Leah looked in the mirror, reflecting herself, and asked the workers.
"This is what you dug up?"
The workers nodded in unison.
According to the workers, the mirror is particularly sturdy.
Even if you smash it on the mirror with a pickaxe, the mirror will not be damaged.
The workers thought it was amazing, so they planned to show it to Miss Leah.
Leah looked at the mirror, touching her chin with one hand, a little confused.
The self in the mirror made the same movements as her.
At this time, Leah just spoke.
"It looks like the material of this mirror must be very good."
"This thing, move it to my house in a moment."
Looking at herself in the mirror, Lia subconsciously stretched out her right hand.
The self in the mirror also stretched out his hand, and the palm with the "mage's hand" was particularly eye-catching.
Soon, she touched the mirror.
Leah's hand touched the smooth mirror, and it felt nothing out of the ordinary.
But in the next second, the eyes above the mirror suddenly opened and stared directly at Liya.
Leah exclaimed, a burst of white light shone, and her whole being was absorbed into the mirror.
The white light seemed to make everyone freeze in place.
It wasn't until Leah disappeared completely and the mirror slammed to the ground that the workers reacted.
They lifted the strange mirror that had fallen to the ground and felt a wave of inexplicability.
The ore eyes were tightly closed, as if they had never been opened.
At this moment, outside the mine, Leon slowly walked in.
When the workers saw Leon wearing a hood, they greeted him with a respectful smile.
"Lord Leon."
"What are you doing here?"
The workers reported to Leon:
"When we were mining, we dug up this thing, and we were just about to ......"
When they said this, they felt a wave of confusion.
Strange, who are they going to report to?
Hearing this, Leon stepped forward and looked at the mirror.
So, she also spoke.
"Send this to the Clevenner mansion first."
With that, she was about to turn around and leave the place.
At the moment of taking the step, Leon's mind suddenly went blank:
"Strange."
"Why am I here?"
With this doubt, Leon struggled to remember as she stepped away.
……
In front of the door of Kravenna's mansion, a merchant was sitting in a carriage, quietly waiting for the arrangement of the servant outside the door.
The servant stood at the doorway, and said respectfully to the merchant:
"Please wait, Mr. Diere, I'll let ...... know."
Speaking of this, the servant suddenly froze in place,
At this moment, she didn't even know who to inform.
The next second, the maid remembered that the head of the Victor family seemed to have returned to the mansion.
Then she said directly to the merchant:
"Mr. Diel, please wait a moment, I will go and inform the master of the house."
Seeing the merchant nod, the servant turned and hurried towards the mansion.
Not long after, the servant came out again, stood at the door, nodded slightly to the merchant, and said:
"Mr. Deere, please."
The servant led Dill into the chamber of the Clevenna Mansion.
"Sir, please take a seat."
Dill sat nervously on the couch, feeling the softness of his buttocks, and looked around at the living room of the Cleviner Mansion.
He never imagined that one day he would be able to do business with the head of the Clevenner family.
But he had to come,
The corresponding goods suddenly could not find a docking person, and a large number of materials arrived at the port but were shelved there.
Soon, a hurricane blew in the living room.
White clouds gathered in the living room with a whistling whirlwind.
The clouds condense and swirl under the whirlwind.
In the next second, a black trench coat shook the clouds away.
A tall, cold man appeared in the living room and sat down on the couch.
This startled the businessman.
Belch!
The whole person is directly in a lot of energy.
Victor clasped his hands, looked at Dill quietly, and asked:
"What's the matter?"
When Dill saw Victor for the first time, his hands were tightly clutched at the corners of his clothes, and his eyes were a little erratic.
Looking at Victor, his heart was flustered.
But he hadn't forgotten the purpose of his visit, and spoke.
"Mr. Victor, our goods have been delivered, but no one has taken the initiative to find them until now."
"It's really weird."
There is no docking person, which means that no one has paid the balance for this batch of goods, and there is no way for them to put down those goods.
Hearing this, Victor raised one leg, leaned back, put his hands on his legs, and lowered his eyebrows slightly.
He looked at the merchant and narrowed his eyes:
"What goods did we buy?"
"A large amount of black jade, purple iron, and star pattern ore."
Victor heard the material and nodded.
These are indeed the materials they need.
Crafting guns doesn't require the natural energy of the elves, that's just the final step.
They need these special ores to sharpen their guns.
While sprites are important, the materials are just as important.
Victor then asked:
"Who was the person you were connected with before?"
"Yes......"
Speaking of this, Dill froze in place and thought:
"...... the previous contactor?"
He tried to remember it in his head, but even if he wanted to, he couldn't.
Suddenly, his mind was overlaid with an idea.
Who else in the Clavenna family could do such a big business besides Count Victor?
Thinking like this, Dill broke out in a cold sweat.
The only person who bought a lot of materials was Victor himself.
So, the docking person of this batch of goods is Victor himself!?
And he actually came to the door to ask Victor, which is really stupid.
He should have personally come to Count Victor respectfully with the contract order.
Dill hurriedly lowered his head, sweating profusely, and his body trembled slightly under Victor's gaze.
"I'm very sorry, Count Victor, but I was rude."
Fortunately, Lord Count didn't care about a little person like him, and Victor just snapped his fingers lightly.
Then, Xiang Zilan walked down from the upper floor.
A small white-haired cat lady, dressed in a maid outfit, walked up to Victor.
She bowed respectfully to Victor:
"Master, please command."
Dill glanced up at the cat lady, surprised in his heart.
I have long heard that the head of the Clevenner family likes subhumans, especially underage subhumans.
This rumor is really not groundless.
News like this has long been no secret in the circles of traders.
Then, Victor's voice rang out:
"Xiang Zilan, take him to settle the balance of the materials, and then send someone to bring the goods back."
"In the future, the family's business will be taken over by you for the time being, and I believe you can do it."
Xiang Zilan bowed down respectfully and agreed:
"Yes."
Then she walked up to Dill and said:
"Please follow me, sir."
Dill looked at the petite subhuman in front of him, looking respectful and elegant, a little confused.
Is this really subhuman?
It's not that he hasn't been in contact with those slave traders, and those subhumans under those slave traders don't have this kind of polite temperament.
It can only be said that the Kravenna family has indeed reached as amazing as rumored in terms of training subhumans.
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at least the head of the Clevenner family in front of him was not angry.
"I'll have a chance to buy a few underage subhumans from a friend and send them over." ’
Dill thought to himself, and then stood up.
He took off his top hat to Victor, leaned slightly, and bowed:
"Then I'll leave first."
"Good cooperation, Count Victor."
Dill put his hat back on and left with Vanilla.
Victor sat on the couch and watched Dill leave quietly, acting extremely flat.
Vega flapped her wings and landed on Victor's shoulder.
A hoarse voice rang out:
"Well, I kind of know a little bit about your sister's influence."
After Leah's disappearance, the entire Clevina family fell into chaos.
It's good to say that this businessman can come directly to the door, and Victor can personally come forward to deal with it.
But there are also many businessmen who work with the Kravenna family, overwhelmed by huge orders.
With Leah's disappearance, they couldn't find anyone to connect with at all.
Even the workers and servants didn't know who to report to when they finished their work.
For a moment, the entire management of the Kravenna family was paralyzed.
If it weren't for the reputation of the Clavenna family, it would have some weight, and there was Victor in the mansion.
Otherwise, those workers and servants would have been in a mess long ago.
"Everyone had forgotten about Leah, and it was as if her existence had been erased."
Victor spoke softly, as if talking to himself.
"Thankfully, though, I haven't forgotten."
He stood up again, his hands in his pockets.
He watched as several workers carried a long vertical mirror and entered the door of the Cravenna Mansion.
Victor looked at the mirror, his eyes sharp and deep, and said slowly:
"Found her."
