Andu drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and there was a hot burning sensation in his chest instantly, and his entire stomach seemed to be ignited, and his internal organs convulsed and contracted violently.

Halman was silent for a few minutes before he spoke.

"Deal, but I hope that the news you have said is worthy of its own value. ”

Andu smiled, "Of course. ”

Putting the wine glass back on the coffee table, Andu cleared his throat, the hot stinging sensation made him a little uncomfortable.

"To put it simply, it's just the future development and direction of the empire, and according to the information I got on the Palmer, there will be good room for rare and large quantities of military metals to develop in the next few years.

I'm sure you'll have a way to make the most of this news, as Darcy had clearly smelled the opportunity in it, and had an argument with Mr. Wolman, who was in the stone business, last year, and finally had the trial court intervene, as you must be aware. ”

Speaking of which, Andu paused deliberately, and after drawing Halman's attention to all of it, he continued,

"So you only need to take over the stone and metal business left by Darcy, which should be enough for you to dominate Halma's market, and this is naturally immeasurable for your status in Halma's business. ”

Horman's face changed slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "How can you be sure of the accuracy of this message?"

Andu smiled: "I don't think the eldest son of the earl would deceive me in this kind of thing, an obscure little priest, Mr. Holmer, what do you think?"

Holman took a deep breath and calmed the shock of this news, although he had already discovered Darcy's move, he did not think that there was any prospect for the development of the stone and mine business, the empire had not had a war conflict with other countries for twenty years, which was undoubtedly extremely fatal for stone and metal merchants.

So even if he found out about Darcy's actions, he didn't choose to take over the large mines and stone shops he left behind in the first place, but if everything is as Andu said, then this matter needs to be reconsidered.

Unlike a self-made businessman like Darcy, Halman inherited his own industry and was more stable and proper, and although he heard what Andu said, he did not dare to believe it completely.

"In this way, I will arrange for someone to send the card ring in a while, and you can send someone to my villa in the next few days about the amount of the transaction. Howman said bluntly, without pursuing the consequences and compensation if the information was wrong.

Andu looked at Halman with satisfaction, nodded and said, "Okay, I live in Antia District now, you can send someone to my house, and I can pay the silver dollars for the transaction first." ”

After saying that, Andu took out a wad of banknotes from his arms, counted eight hundred and put them on the coffee table, not caring about the trouble that might be caused by the exposure of money, he believed that this money would not make Halman's heart move to kill people and sell goods.

And as he expected, except for a little surprise at the beginning, Holman did not show the slightest greed, which made Andu sigh in his heart, any wealthy businessman who can come this far will never be a superficial and short-sighted person.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Holmer, and if you have any requests for information in the future, you can always come to me. Andu said with a smile.

Halman stared at Andu for two seconds before squeezing out a smile that made his face shake with a wobble of flesh.

"I think so too, Mr. Andu, now that you are a well-known figure in Halma, I will arrange a charity dinner soon, and I hope to see you again then. ”

"As you wish, sir. Andu smiled, not dwelling on the matter any further.

After a polite greeting, Andu quickly left the VIP room, as for what Halman would do in the future, it was not in his consideration.

As for the news transaction he threw out at the end, it was a temporary thought of him, the most important thing for this kind of person is nothing more than business opportunities and secrets, for him this is the easiest thing to sell, and in order to get information from him continuously, these people will pay extra attention to his safety, so he is not worried about being threatened.

What's more, his identity is also getting different, from the original slum boy, to the church personnel, to the well-known judge of Halma, and now if he encounters another attack, the government will probably be the first to jump out and thoroughly investigate the cause.

Originally, he never thought about the effect of Claude and Darcy's case, but who knew that after the publicity of the Claude family, as well as the strong praise of Peder adopted by Wolman and Kenneth, the arbitration lawyer of the trial court, there would be such a big response.

"But Halman's seemingly unintentional words clearly conceal deep meaning, could it be that he has discovered the truth of the matter?" Andu couldn't help but think in his heart, but then he ruled out this possibility.

"He may have guessed something, but he would never have thought that it was my hand, and my current identity is still just an ordinary person who has not even bound the card ring, so I will be anxious to buy a card ring from him. ”

"At best, Halman is a little suspicious that I am working with someone else, or someone else who is instigating, will never think about me. ”

While Andu was analyzing in his heart, he had already walked out of the auction house, he was greedily breathing the air outside, and he was in a good mood!

The card ring is finally here!!

Then the second card must also be put on the agenda, and I will have to go to the academy in a while, and tomorrow is Monday, and I'm afraid that Ruskin will have to arrange some strange and difficult cases for himself to solve......

While the thoughts in his heart turned back and forth, Andu also found the carriage driven by Robert and slowly approached.

"How's the catch?" Robert asked.

"Yes, I bought some materials and a card ring. Andu laughed.

"How about the quality?" said Robert, the card rings auctioned at the auction generally overflow the market price, but the effect is also absolutely high-quality.

"According to Scott, it should be fine. Andu was stunned, recalled carefully, and remembered that Scott only said that this card ring was of extremely high quality, but did not elaborate on the attributes, but considering that this old fox knew his identity as a church, he thought that there would not be too much difference in attributes.

After all, the card ring is just a prop for auxiliary cards, the key to improving strength, as long as the quality is passable, the attributes or something are actually the effects that come with it, not the first priority, as long as the attributes are not contradictory, it is not a big problem.

I don't think I'll get a Dark Mage Card Ring, that's too much...... Andu felt a little nervous for no reason.

With a hint of worry, Andu came to Rice Academy again, as usual, because of the holidays and weekends, the whole academy seemed deserted, and there were not many people coming and going.

As usual, he went to the gate to communicate with Mr. Silas for a while, and confirmed that the tutor Dunlop was in the academy again, and Andu began to go to the teaching building, but before leaving, he couldn't help but look at Mr. Silas twice.

The old gentleman's complexion seems to be even worse......

Andu's figure faded away, and the guard room fell silent again, and Silas fell into a false sleep again, nothing different from before.

Half an hour later, Andu finally met his familiar mentor, Dunlop, who had taught him for more than three years, for the first time in the teaching building.

He was still dressed casually, his short unkempt brown hair looked like he hadn't taken care of it for a while, and when Andu arrived in the drawing room, he was working on a new way to mix the two materials.

"Teacher. Andu opened the door of the drawing room.

Although the others had already entered the drawing room, it was obvious that Dunlop did not notice his arrival, and it was not until he opened his mouth that the focused middle-aged man let out an exclamation and slowly turned his head.

Maybe it was because of the small proportion before, or it could be a problem with the order of the techniques, and of course it could be an interruption from Andu, in short, his experiment ultimately failed.

Just from the black smoke and rapidly purple paint, Andu could clearly judge the result of this failure.

However, in order to take into account the teacher's mood, Andu showed a guilty look at the right time and took the initiative to say,

"I'm sorry, teacher, did I interrupt your research?"

"Ahem, although it has something to do with you, but I also blame me for the wrong proportion, so, um....... Why are you here?" said Dunlop, blushing in surprise.

Andu couldn't help but smile, and didn't point out the truth that even if he didn't show up, the modulation would still fail in two minutes, and cooperated.

"Didn't the teacher ask me to come on vacation before?"

"Oh, yes, yes, that's going to be the graduation exam on the 25th, I asked you to come because I want to give you a few more practice, otherwise you may not be able to pass this big exam. Dunlop picked up the bottles and cans in his hand, and kept talking.

"You also know that even if you get a perfect score in theory, you must draw at least one card to graduate, so I changed my thinking this time, even if you can't draw a successful card, the kind of failure can be!

Andu was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that his teacher, in order to graduate himself, could even think of such a magical method, and couldn't help but say, "Is this okay?"

Dunlop said with a serious expression: "No problem, as long as the quality is higher, even if you fail, you will have comfort points, so that although your comprehensive score will be worse, it should be very possible to barely graduate!"

An Du hesitated for a while, Dunlop had already brought several materials, and said busily: "I have something to do in a while, you can start now, I will help you point out the problems in the drawing, come on!!"

Andu looked at his mentor with an embarrassed face, and the enthusiastic eyes made him really unable to find a reason to refuse, and after thinking about it, he finally picked up the magic pen and drew it according to his meaning.

Then, Dunlop's eyes seemed to be fixed to Andu's right hand, and he couldn't move them anymore.
