Chapter XVIII

"Do you have any companions with the witches? I have a lot of power in the border town, and there is a very powerful witch there, and if there is, I can arrange for you to go there together. Austin said.

"Do you want to drive me away, my abilities will help you. Scati asked nervously after hearing Austin's words.

"Well, I know that your abilities are undoubtedly what I need, but, for some reason, I have something to do in the royal capital, which is very dangerous, so you go to a safe place in the rear first, there is a ......" Austin said this, stopped, speaking of the understanding of the witch, the real understanding is the saint, although Charlotte relies on her own understanding, and can be regarded as learning to use magic, but there is still a big gap compared to the saint, not to mention, Charlotte's magic should be different from Scati's, thinking of something like Austin changed his mind, and said, "Perhaps, you can try other methods." If you don't want to leave, come with us in the royal capital first. ”

Scati followed closely behind Austin, looking around cautiously. Austin didn't think about hiding from anyone, on the contrary, as if he wanted everyone to see it.

Merchants, with low status, although they have a lot of wealth, are only subordinate to the nobles after all. Although it is subsidiary, money is money, and if you have wealth and do a lot of things, you have room to manipulate.

At this time, a man walked up and whispered to Austin, "Well, you didn't touch this witch, did you?"

"Well, after all, it is an important commodity, how can you touch it casually, judge it for yourself, in order to better estimate her value. Austin spoke to him with the image of a businessman who was mercenary.

The man nodded and said, "It's best not to touch it, our duchess has taken a fancy to him and wants to buy it from you." 1500 gold coins, I'll give it to you. ”

Austin glanced at the man, smiled, and said, "This gentleman, we are businessmen, since we are businessmen, it is good not to say such incomprehensible things." ”

"yes, I'm sorry, 3000 gold. The man smiled and said, "You should be satisfied with this price." ”

"This price is very sincere, but for the price I gave her, it is far from enough, although I know that it is a bit ridiculous, but if you want me to give her up, at least add a zero to the end. Only this price can make me let go. Austin said.

"You're in the lion's mouth, 4000, the highest price. The man said with a gloomy face.

"If I say that if I gamble, she will bring me far more than the amount I just said, can you believe it?" Austin whispered, "My business scope is in the fourth prince's place." She is my pawn to get through the fourth prince, you say, is she worth the price with me?"

"4000, enough to get a peerless beauty, there is no need to be her. The man said.

Austin smiled, reached his ear, and said: "I came here from the town, not to mention the risk, just the consumption on the road, not just the number you gave me, what did you do when I came to the king, and spent countless manpower, material and financial resources to meet such a person, do you want to use this money to send me away? ”

The man had a gloomy face and said, "This is the person asked by the son of the Grand Duke, you have to know what kind of fate it will be to offend the Grand Duke in the royal capital." ”

"It doesn't matter, the Grand Duke is not just a son, Xia Feng Chamber of Commerce, nor is it a soft persimmon, let people pinch it casually, if the Grand Duke says, we still retreat, but it is just one of his sons, so he dares to say such a big thing, it is amazing." Austin laughed, looked at the man, and said disdainfully, "Come to the king's capital, who has no background." Who are you scaring about? If you want to do business, you will come in the form of a businessman, and if you are powerful and oppressive, and you will be a dog, then you will not be accompanied. ”

With that, Austin left with Scati, leaving behind the grim-faced man.

In the carriage, Scati timidly asked, "Do you want to give me to the prince?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm the Fourth Prince. "For some reason, I hid my identity in the royal capital. Theoretically, there are not five people in this country who are more powerful than me. ”

"Why are you so flamboyant when you're hiding your identity?" asked Scati, confused.

"Because, I need to focus everyone's eyes on me, there are many people who have seen me, but they are all people above the earl, such people, in this class where I hide my identity now, no matter how public, will not be noticed, because they have other things to pay attention to. And I will be quite free for a period of time in the future. Austin said, "Of course, although you hide your identity, you don't have to hide your identity, anyway, you should know, no matter how you hide it." ”

"Hmm" I don't know what Austin is talking about, but it feels so powerful.

"To put it simply, I'm bluffing, they'll investigate who my backer is, why don't even the Grand Duke take it to heart, of course, they'll soon find out that I don't have a backer at all. Officially, they will be even more jealous, afraid of people they can't find out. By the time they really know that I really don't have a backstage, things should have been taken care of, and I'm not in business anyway. Austin said simply.

"Well, should I call you Your Highness?"

"No, just call it as usual. We'll go to church later and ask the Holy Maiden about your questions......" Austin said.

After hearing Austin's words, Scati's face suddenly turned pale, and he knelt directly in front of Austin, and said pleadingly: "Master, don't give me to the church, I will definitely listen to you well, no matter what you ask me to do, I will do it well." Please don't send me to church. ”

"Get up, follow me, don't kneel casually. Listen to me, I'm sure I won't let you die. The Holy Maiden is the most proficient in the control of magic among the people I know now, and the witches under her are also quite good at mastering magic, so she should be able to mention something. Austin said.

"......" Scati felt as if he had heard some amazing secret, and Scati couldn't understand what Austin was saying.
