Full Time Mage Lord

The three guys listened to Reinhardt's words. You looked at me, and I looked at you. Finally, Noi finally spoke as a representative, "Reinhardt, you don't know, didn't we give Do you have an egg? We didn't know what it was at first, but now we do. Well, that's it, eh."

This statement surprised Reinhard. Could it be that they came here just to get the egg back?

Just as Reinhard was thinking, Noi continued, "Because of this egg, our tribe and the wolf demon beast tribe were attacked by the plague ghosts, the minions of alien monsters in the west, and had no choice but to run to the trolls." But not long after, a large number of plague monsters also appeared in the troll's territory, and they were led by a guy named Radamantis. He kept forcing us to tell us where the egg went, and also asked And you."

Noi picked up a glass of water on the table and took a sip, then continued, "Actually, we were quite scared at the time, fearing that we would be exterminated by this guy named Radamantis. However, in the end, all of us decided that in order to repay you for your original For our kindness, you decided to run away and leave there. Even if you are chased to death, I will never reveal any information about you."

Perhaps recalling the horrific incident of being chased by Radamantis, everyone looked a little pale. Reinhardt was very excited when he heard this. It turned out that these guys sacrificed the stability of this ethnic group in order not to betray themselves. Life.

Noi said excitedly, "Originally, we were trapped in the canyon by a large number of plague ghosts, and there were alien monsters in front and behind us. We thought we were doomed, but who knew that countless undead frames suddenly appeared, facing the natural disaster? attack, and we also escaped to a mysterious place and met a distinguished undead archmage, Mr. Danzig. He said that you are his contractor and his friend, so we decided to spend a lot of energy , teleport us all here to fight with you! You see, we arrived here in such a daze."

Noi talked loudly and quickly finished all these things like a flowing account.

As expected, he is a technical person and pursues efficiency in his speech.

Reinhard was very emotional after hearing this. This was another favor he owed to Danzig.

I didn't expect that Danzig would interfere in the affairs of these human races and ask them to come here to help him. In this way, Danzig has always known his whereabouts...

But Reinhard doesn't know who Radamantis is. He has only seen the death knight Dais!

So he asked, "By the way, you said that an undead named Radamantis is chasing you and wants to know my whereabouts. I don't know him, so why is he chasing me?"

"Reinhardt, we don't know this either. However, the alien beasts and demons are not good things. They only destroy and destroy. They must be interested in your balls."

Noy's explanation should come from the thoughts of their wetland dwarves. The real reason is probably not understood by the four people here.

"Well, let's not mention them for now. Since you are here, I welcome you. Don't worry, your people will never starve to death. They must have food and shelter." Reinhard stood up. , committed to these three guys.

"Reinhardt, don't worry, we won't eat you in vain. We trolls have a lot of strength. I think your city wall should be repaired. It's so low. If it weren't for your sake just now, our people I’ve already crossed over to get in.”

The honest words of the troll leader made Reinhard feel really comfortable listening to them. These are your words that I have been waiting for. Everlasting City does not have the energy to support idle people, but with the help of these alien races, Everlasting City can definitely make a living in a very short time. It became a famous city in the northern part of the empire within a short period of time!

"Jiejie, Reinhardt, we came here just to mess with you. Hey, the Warcraft clan is nothing special. Although I can't defeat it, our ability guarantees that we can defeat you in less than three days. You know, which female monster clan did their boss have sex with last night? Jiejie!"

The wolf demon orc is indeed doing this, and he really likes to inquire about such things, he said with a sinister smile on his face.

"Reinhardt, we wetland dwarves have nothing else but a lot of firearms. Look, there are probably a thousand of them like this."

Noi was even more fierce. He took a package directly from his back and took out a firearm with great effort. Although the firearm was quite small, Reinhard definitely did not doubt the power of this guy. If thousands of dwarfs carried fire, The weapon, standing on the city wall, firing thousands of arrows, is guaranteed to give the Warcraft clan an unforgettable memory!

"By the way, your tribe didn't suffer any losses this time, right? How many people came?" Reinhard finally asked the most important question at the moment.

"I think there are more than 10,000 people in my tribe."

Noi said lightly, if it weren't for the influence of the plague, the small but super-reproductive dwarfs would have had a population of hundreds of thousands at their peak.

"We are less, a thousand people."

The wolf demon orcs don't eat well all year round, so there won't be many of them.

"There are only a few hundred of us."

Everyone knows about the reproductive capacity of trolls. If they were huge in size and had strong reproductive capacity, they would have suffered from starvation long ago due to food problems.

Reinhard nodded. These numbers are not very large. As long as he completes the teleportation array, he can solve the food problem.

It can be said that with the teleportation array, money, weapons, armor, and food are not problems.

After arranging their accommodation, Reinhard walked out of the Protector's mansion, but was grabbed by Tiago. Seeing him embarrassed, he said, "Sir, I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not?"

"Huh? If you have anything to say, you might as well just say it!" Reinhard thought to himself. Could it be that he disapproved of the arrival of Noi and the others? Also, Henghui City is currently short of resources and supplies.

"Sir, I think you might as well establish a fixed assistance relationship with William, your father-in-law, instead of asking for it directly like now. Although he is your father-in-law, as a businessman, interests are the top priority. Consider it. Sir, what do you think?"

Reinhard suddenly came to his senses after saying this. William really had no obligation to help him. Besides, did he really think that William's words that night could be used as a kind of credit?

The businessman's verbal words were mostly polite. He was really a fan of the entrants, so he asked, "Well, you are right, so what good suggestions do you have?"

"Your Majesty knows that your Excellency is the master of blacksmithing, so he must have reached some verbal or written agreement on business with William, right?" Seeing that Reinhardt did not blame him, Thiago also boldly guessed.

"Yeah. That's it. William asked me to help him refine special soul crystals with more impurities, and he provided me with financial and weapon assistance." Reinhard didn't hide it, this time Thiago can do it make accurate judgments.

"This will be easier to handle. I'll wait until the teleportation array is set up, and then I can take this agreement to negotiate with Patriarch William. Sir, please take a look at it first." Thiago took out an agreement and handed it to Reinha. In front of Te, it seems that Thiago has already prepared the agreement after he stated his plan.

Reinhardt took a rough look at it. It turned out that Thiago had already thought about the number of special soul crystals to be refined, the proportional remuneration, the monthly supply, etc. Reinhardt couldn't quite understand these things. , but he didn't think too much about it. With Thiago here, he didn't have to solve everything.

Handing the agreement back to Thiago, Reinhardt said, "Tiago, you make up your mind on this matter. Have you brought all the intermediate dark attribute original trait soul crystals I asked you to bring?"

"Sir, look at these," Tiago took out a pack of soul crystals from his arms and handed them to Reinhardt.

He took out one and looked at it carefully. That's right, it was the original dark attribute soul crystal. Reinhard put the pack of special soul crystals away.

Thiago said to Reinhardt, "Sir, I saw that your men were trying to win over the wandering bandits. This is indeed a short-term way to increase the number of troops. I also have an idea."

"Just say it." Reinhardt found that Thiago was really careful in doing things.

"Slaves, there are slaves everywhere. If you have enough funds, slaves are a very helpful choice."

Hearing what Thiago said, Reinhard felt it made sense. He didn't know much about these things originally. He had never even been to the slave market in the imperial capital. Apart from fighting and killing enemies, he and his brothers were more in love with each other. Okay, let Thiago take care of everything else.

So he said to Thiago, "Thiago, you don't have to report everything to me in the future. If you think it can be done, just do it boldly. I will give you the independence of administrative command in the north, but you can make the decision on all these things." .Bring me pen and paper, and I'll sign."

Thiago looked excited and quickly took out a pen and paper and handed it to Reinhardt. For the first time in many years, he felt that he could show his ambition. This was also Thiago's lifelong dream.

Now that he has a good boss like Reinhardt, Thiago secretly decided that he would serve the Duke all his life!

Swish, brush, brush!

After writing a few big words, Reinhard patted Thiago on the shoulder and said, "Please make arrangements for my visiting friends. They are willing to help us. I believe you know how to make them play their best role." Yes. I have to quickly create four mid-level dark attribute soul crystals to build our first teleportation array."

Reinhard returned to the Duke's Mansion in Everlasting City for the first time, which was the former residence of the chief here. After Reinhard came, he naturally wanted to move here.

A group of his friends and Lang Guli all moved in early, but he, the owner, was pushed aside because of his busy schedule.

Seeing that everyone was not in the hall, Reinhard also went back to his room.

After taking out an original characteristic soul crystal, Reinhardt now wonders if his forging skills have also improved as his strength has improved.

With his perception activated, Reinhardt immediately felt that the elements around him began to stir crazily. A faint halo rose from the special soul crystal, and Bahamut suddenly screamed in the Dragon Soul Sea of ​​​​Consciousness. Inhart immediately stopped and asked, "Hey, what's your name?"

"Come in and see for yourself." Bahamut said with a trembling voice.

Helplessly, Reinhardt's perception instantly entered the Dragon Soul Sea of ​​​​Consciousness, and he was stunned as soon as he entered.

I saw that the entire Dragon Soul Sea of ​​​​Consciousness not only had the original heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, but the strangest thing was that a black rotating cave appeared in the sky. At a glance, it was bottomless.

"What's going on? There was no such thing before. It came out of nowhere. Bahamut, tell me, is it you?"

Reinhard immediately looked at Bahamut, but he was even more horrified.

Because Bahamut didn't know when it started. He had grown a lot and was hovering in the air. He was looking at the black hole, trembling all over, and seemed to be very scared. He said in a panic, "Master, master, close it quickly." After eating this thing, I feel like I am going to be pushed to the limit by it. You see, it keeps injecting energy into me, and soon, I am afraid I will explode."

Sure enough, Reinhardt took a closer look and found that Bahamut's body had a translucent energy belt at some point. Connected to the black hole, it was like a newborn baby's umbilical cord, and it was continuously delivering energy to him. Bahamut is also expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Reinhardt's perception immediately flew towards the black hole. Fortunately, it did not reject his own perception. It should be the matter that belongs to the scope of his Dragon Soul Sea of ​​​​Consciousness that can be controlled. Reinhardt began to slowly reduce the rotation frequency of the black hole, and gradually Yes, it finally stopped and stopped sending energy to Bahamut. However, what surprised Reinhardt was that after the black hole stopped, it was not actually black, but translucent with a light mist. White.

"Bahamut, are you okay? What is going on?" Reinhard asked Bahamut, confused for a moment.

"Master, don't you know that dragon knights cannot use magic? And you just mobilized a large amount of magic elements, which caused a strong reaction in the sea of ​​dragon soul consciousness, forming energy that rushed in crazily. The excess energy I have no place to go, so they all hold me back. If you come in later, I will be doomed."

Bahamut looked at the black hole with lingering fear.

This is good, can't we refine the mid-level light attribute soul crystal?

If the refining does not cause the external magic elements to go crazy, then Bahamut will be dead.

Reinhard said helplessly, "What should I do? I still have to refine the special soul crystal..."

"Master, don't you even understand this space? You can sense the Dragon Soul Sea of ​​​​Consciousness. It was created by you, and you will understand."

After hearing what Bahamut said, Reinhardt began to sense the Dragon Soul Consciousness Sea he had created with his own hands. Sure enough, everything in the space here was set by himself. It was no different from the outside. The sky was above and the earth was below. The river flows from high to low, etc., everything is the same as outside, but is there anything wrong with this?

Reinhard was puzzled, "Indeed, I made this. The space here is the same as outside, isn't it right?"

"Nonsense, it's just the same. Only outside magic elements can affect me. That's why you couldn't use magic before." Bahamut roared.

"Huh? That's true. What should we do?" Reinhard still didn't quite understand.

Bahamut held his head and said painfully, "You just need to immerse yourself in the sea of ​​dragon soul consciousness and refine the soul crystal!"

A drop of cold sweat slipped from Reinhard's forehead. Indeed, this trick seemed very simple. Why didn't he think of it?

In one night's work, while immersed in the sea of ​​dragon soul consciousness, Reinhardt refined the special soul crystal.

I wonder if I have to work so hard every time I want to refine special soul crystals or use magic?

Is it destined that he cannot use magic? Thinking of this, Reinhardt became very discouraged...

"Haha, I'm still worried about magic. Don't worry, as long as I come out of the Dragon Soul Consciousness Sea, won't you be able to use magic elements?" Bahamut is in the Consciousness Sea, of course because of Reinha Using magic would be dangerous, but with Bahamut gone, Reinhardt can naturally mobilize magic elements at will.

"But you don't know when you will be able to come out. I originally planned to complete the third stage of practice and learn magic as well." Reinhard touched the special soul in his hand. Jingshi said helplessly.

"Well, Master, I need a lot of low-level special soul crystals to eat. You'd better find them for me as soon as possible. Firstly, you can use magic at will, and secondly, I don't have to stay here all day. However, there is one thing , Master, you must pay attention to the sudden appearance of this black hole. Could it be a mutation of the Dragon Soul Sea of ​​​​Consciousness? I am always uneasy in my heart. Master, who helped you restore your magical ability?" Bahamut thought of what happened last night. Still have lingering fears.

Reinhard got off the bed, opened the window and looked at the yard and said leisurely, "It's a necromancer named Danzig. I don't remember knowing this person before, but he probably won't frame me, because he and I A pact of balance was signed.”

"What? You've been fooled! The content of the so-called soul contract can be changed by adding coded symbols at will. I'm afraid you will not only sell your soul, but my God, you can do that kind of thing..."

Bahamut wanted to say that Reinhardt was too stupid, but he hadn't regained consciousness at that time and couldn't help him at all...

"How could it be?! Once the contract is established, it can't be changed, isn't it? If it's true as you said, then wasn't I fooled by him?"

Reinhard withdrew his eyes and nervously inspected the contract mark in his body, "Phew! Fortunately, he didn't modify it. I guess that's the case. He has never been hostile to me, and my feeling towards him is as if I saw someone. He is like an old friend. Besides, it was him who helped rescue Noi and the others this time."

"I don't know about this. But Master, you'd better be careful."

Reinhard doesn't quite agree. If it were the previous situation, he would agree, but now he feels that sometimes friends can be trusted. At least Danzig is now a friend rather than an enemy to everyone. As for Reinhard in the future Hart didn’t think too much about it. In life, wouldn’t it be tiring to always be on guard against this and that…

…

Looking at the sky, it was already gray with some light. Seeing that everyone was still dreaming, Reinhard left the mansion and came to the magic teleportation array that had been laid out.

At first, Reinhard thought that the diameter of the teleportation array should be less than ten meters, but he didn't think so now. Looking at the giant magic teleportation array with a diameter of a hundred meters that was laid out last night, Reinhardt thought Hart was stunned on the spot.

I think it was the foreigners who helped me overnight, but...

Where should I put this special soul crystal?

"Sir, you got up so early."

While Reinhardt was in a daze, Thiago came towards him not far away and greeted Reinhardt with a smile.

"Tiago, is this a teleportation array? Is it so big? Can the energy of this mid-level special soul crystal support its operation?"

Reinhard looked at the special soul crystal in his hand, which was less than the size of a fist, and said worriedly.

"Haha, you don't know how special this magic circle is. Not to mention four intermediate special soul crystals, just one can be activated, but the number of transmissions will be greatly reduced."

Tiago pulled Reinhard to the front of the teleportation array, pointed to a small groove in the middle and explained, "Look, sir, this is where the special soul crystal is placed. Once the special soul crystal is placed in the teleportation array, Stone will automatically activate the magic circle that is cast in it. The operation of the magic circle can drive the operation of the entire external dark attribute elements. When the amount of external light attribute elements reaches a certain level, it will shatter other elements and form a single Dark attribute magic particles, these magic particles will produce vibrations that are invisible to the naked eye. When the vibration frequency exceeds the capacity of this space, it will break through the void. According to the marks of the magic array, our magic teleportation array is a connection There is also a magic teleportation array placed at the gate of the Western Plaza of the Imperial Capital. Once we break through the void here, a connecting channel will be formed. This is the principle of the teleportation array..."

"Thiago, it seems that you were very serious about learning magic before, and you know it in such detail."

After listening to Thiago's explanation, Reinhard finally understood that the principle of the teleportation array was still relatively complicated, and even the magic array was hard-earned.

But Reinhard didn't think too much about those historical issues now, and quickly put the special soul crystal in his hand into the groove.

"Sir, wait!"

Seeing that Reinhard was about to put the special soul crystal in, Tiago immediately stopped him.

Seeing Reinhardt's puzzled expression, Thiago took out a crystal clear box from his arms, ran to the center of the teleportation array, put it into a groove in it, and then continued, "Sir, I have placed the activation box of the teleportation array. Now you can put the special soul crystal in it. Without this thing, once the soul in the soul crystal goes wild, this place will explode!"

"Sir, when the four magic arrays are built, I believe that using them will definitely create a lot of money income!" Thiago's face was full of excitement.

Reinhard admired Tiago very much. He could make money and save money. It is estimated that not many people can afford to use this teleportation array. At least in this barren north, it will not be of any big use...

After the special soul crystal was put in, Tiago was surprised and said, "Sir, are you refining this from the original special soul crystal I gave you? How do I feel that just this special soul crystal can fully load magic? Is the formation running?"

After hearing Tiago say this, Reinhardt realized that the quality of the mid-level special soul crystals he had refined was equivalent to the sum of four special soul crystals of the same level refined by other blacksmiths.

"Thiago, have you forgotten why William asked me to cooperate?"

Thiago slapped his forehead and said with some embarrassment, "That's right, I'm so confused that I even forgot about this."

"Tiago, why don't I put other special soul crystals in and see what effect it will have. What do you think? Anyway, I can make special soul crystals. They come quickly." Reinhard touched it. Touching the special soul crystal in his hand, he couldn't help but have a sudden thought.

"Uh, that's fine."

Tiago was speechless again. Who are these people? The cost of teleportation is twice as high as that in the Imperial City. The special soul crystal is still the best. If one is not enough, four must be put. How can I say this? , we don’t seek the best but the most expensive, but this time, it should be said that we seek not only the best but also the most expensive.

Following the surroundings of the teleportation array, special soul crystals were placed one by one. Reinhardt walked to Tiago's side and watched with him as the teleportation array was about to be activated.

Buzz!

Powered by the energy of the special soul crystal, the hundred-meter-diameter magic array let out a low roar, and complex rune marks slowly flew up. Reflected by the milky-white teleportation stone, it exuded a charming bright white light. , the marks gradually rose into the air, forming a beautiful picture, and at the same time, pillars of light of more than ten meters rose in equal directions around the teleportation array, and began to rotate rapidly around the rune pictures in the air. .

It didn't take long for the light beam to rotate at a speed that exceeded the limit of the human eye. It became blurry and moved closer to the middle picture. With a whoosh, it finally merged with the middle rune picture and slowly disappeared into the air.

Seeing that the magic circle had been successfully activated, Tiago came to the middle of the teleportation array, turned around and said to Reinhardt, "Sir, this is the first time this teleportation array is used, why don't you come with me to the slave market in the imperial capital? Anyway, I’ve made arrangements for your friends, so there’s nothing else important for the time being.”

For the first time, it was best for me to go there in person and introduce Thiago to William. In the future, I would have to rely on Thiago for everything. In addition, I also wanted to visit the slave market.

Thinking of this, Reinhard nodded and stood in the middle of the magic circle with Thiago.

I opened the magic circle, but this time I didn't expect the magnificent scene to appear like before. Instead, the entire magic circle lit up slightly, and I saw many black lights appearing in the middle of the teleportation circle, like black holes in the universe. I guess it was Dark attribute magic elements, soon, the mist began to gather, came to Reinhardt and Thiago's side, and the sound of babble kept ringing.

Gradually, a black rotating cave appeared in the air. When Reinhard took a look, how could this thing be exactly the same as what he saw in the Dragon Soul Consciousness Sea last night?

But there was no time for Reinhardt to think too much. Thiago quickly pulled Reinhardt into the black hole.

After entering the black hole, Reinhard felt a sense of erraticness, as if he was walking in the starry sky. There was no concept of time inside. He didn't know how long it took, but when light appeared in front of his eyes again, he found that he and Ti Yago was already in another much smaller teleportation formation. He took a closer look, wasn't this the imperial capital?

This teleportation array is really magical, allowing me to fly thousands of miles in a short time.

…

Reinhardt looked at Thiago, who was holding a large bag of special soul crystals beside him, and said, "Thiago, is the agreement signed by William and me really okay? One million gold coins, wouldn't he? loss?"

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Thiago said, "Sir, do you know? After you refine the special soul crystals, the low-level ones can match the primary soul energy, and the primary ones can match the intermediate ones. Energy. The current market price of this low-level special soul crystal is generally around one thousand gold coins. Do you think that after you refine it, the price will reach nearly ten thousand. How much profit is there? Even if the buyer thinks it is low-level The price of a special soul crystal is less than 10,000 yuan, but it should be at least 5,000 yuan or more, right? A low-level special soul crystal stone can generate several times more net profit. Sir, look at it, I am carrying a big bag of low-priced goods right now. According to your statement, there are dozens of special soul crystals of this level that can be refined every day. I don’t think it’s a good deal, so William will lose money.”

Reinhardt patted Thiago on the shoulder and said, "Ah, although that's the calculation, but you think William is not allowed to open a store. There are a lot of expenses, and if we do it ourselves, we will never achieve the goal. With such a scale, thousands of special soul crystals can be sold at one go. So apart from the cost, I think this is already quite generous."

Thiago also knew it in his heart. He nodded after listening to Reinhardt's words and said, "My lord is right. However, your lord is the son-in-law of the Lear family. We are all a family anyway, and your lord can provide you with superior qualities." If you give the soul crystal to the family, Patriarch William will naturally not treat you badly in the future. Oh, what the official said is unnecessary."

Thiago's words are not unreasonable. You really shouldn't be too greedy, especially in business. Mutual benefit is the best thing for everyone.

Some things, such as the manufacture and sale of special soul crystals, are the business of the Lear family. Reinhardt knew that in addition to being the son-in-law of the Lear family, he was also William's partner. In the future, soul crystals and The provision of equipment and supplies still relies on William's strong support.

The two of them walked all the way to the slave market in the imperial capital.

Looking up, he saw a sea of ​​people outside the slave market. It was very lively. Reinhard couldn't help but ask, "Tiago, this is the slave market? It's very lively. Is it now popular for everyone to buy a few slaves to show off? "

Thiago also looked at the situation outside the slave market, "Haha, sir, not everyone is as rich as you, sir. Most of these people come to sell slaves, and only a few people come to buy them. If I guess well, , today we are catching up with a good day."

"Slave sellers? Are there such active slave sellers? Isn't it said that most slaves are forced to sell themselves because they are too poor to survive?"

Reinhardt's understanding of the slavery system was limited to the fact that he sold his labor in the mines in order to survive, but he was definitely not working hard, he was just an exploited child laborer.

"Sir, you are wrong. Most of the slaves are sold here by slave traders, but they are wholesale slaves. The real slaves are these retailers. Look, that one has a fat belly and is wearing a yellow coat. The fat man, he is a famous slave retailer here. Today should be a day for market auctions. These slave traders sold a large number of slaves here, and then the retailers selected the better slaves and auctioned them at the market auction!" Thiago knows much more about the slave market than Reinhardt does.

"Oh? Where did the slave trader's slaves come from?"

After Tiago mentioned it, Reinhard also became interested. It was the first time he heard that slaves could be divided into wholesale and retail.

"Sir, some of these slaves sold themselves, some were captured during wars, but most of them were captured by slave traders' private armies in some poor places and sold as slaves. There are also some such as dwarves and gnomes. , elves, etc. My lord, look, there are some female elves over there that were caught and sold here, presumably preparing to enter the trading market for auction."

Thiago pointed to a place outside the slave market where the crowd was the most commotion. Sure enough, he saw some handsome-looking elves with long pointed ears and disheveled clothes. They were handcuffed together by a long chain and were being pulled in. Auction venue.

"Don't we have an armistice agreement with the elves? Why are we arresting them now for trafficking?" Reinhardt was a little shocked when he saw the elves. Although the elves had committed a heinous crime against the human race, five hundred years had passed, and both sides There shouldn't be any efforts to be bought or sold in between.

"The truce is yes, but that was five hundred years ago. Nowadays, our relationship with the elves is not harmonious. Small-scale battles often occur. These slaves were captured. Sir, don't you also have dwarf friends? You must be very aware of what happened to them, so why are you surprised that elves are being sold in the slave market?" Thiago thought of the huge number of wetland dwarves.

Thinking of what happened to the wetland dwarves in the west, it is true that the relationship between the human race and them is not very good now. Even if Martial is the prince of the dwarf race, he only relies on the protection of the Knight Academy to be fine.

But he is still often called a dwarf.

Reinhardt thought of this without saying much, and walked to the entrance of the auction venue with Thiago.

"Stop, please show your VIP card when entering the venue!"

Just when Reinhard was about to go in, he was stopped by two big men at the door.

VIP card? what?

Reinhard looked at Thiago in confusion.

"Sir, I forgot to tell you just now. Any slave auction requires a VIP card to be eligible to enter." Thiago explained.

If anyone enters a place like this casually, it will be a mess. Generally, only people with status and status can enter, or they are slave sellers.

Reluctantly, Reinhard took out the card made of soul crystals from the Lear family, which was given to him by his father-in-law. This card can be used in any soul crystal store run by the Lear family in the empire. It can be exchanged for soul crystals. Of course, soul crystals can also be understood as gold coins.

Holding the soul crystal card and shaking it in front of the two big men, Reinhard said, "I'm here to buy slaves, can't I go in?"

"Hmph! Just come here with a card to trick me. I've seen too many people like you get a fake soul crystal card and cheat!" The big man looked at Reinhardt's clothes, which were very ordinary, and then looked at him. The card in his hand was full of disdain.

"You see clearly, this is a special soul crystal card issued by the Lear family. Are there any fake ones?" Reinhardt was a little angry.

"Young Master, I'm really sorry. Even if the card in your hand is a soul crystal card issued by the Lear family, you can't enter. The rules of the venue are that anyone without a VIP card will not be allowed in! So you guys will follow the same rules. I’m working on something, I hope this young master can forgive me!”

Another big man's eyes were more sinister. He saw that Reinhardt was holding an unusual soul crystal card. He guessed that Reinhardt's identity was definitely unusual. He immediately stopped his companions and said in a gentle tone.

"How can you be so rude to this young master? Our venue is specially opened for people like this young master. Why can't we enter?"

Just when Thiago saw that Reinhardt was a little angry and wanted to speak, a man wearing purple-black and light leather armor came not far away.

When they saw the visitor, the two big men immediately bowed and said, "I have met the Viscount!"

The visitor dismissed the two guys with a wave of his hand, then turned around and smiled at Reinhard, bowed and said humbly, "Your Excellency, Lacuna has seen the Duke! I didn't know you were coming, so I hope you can forgive me! "

Seeing Reinhard's lack of response, Lacuna couldn't help but raise his head and asked, "Sir, have you forgotten? I once had a chance meeting with you in the temple."

After he said this, Reinhard remembered that this man looked so familiar. He had indeed met him once when he was officially awarded the title of first-class duke in the temple.

So Reinhard said, "Yes, we have met before. You must be the Lacuna-sama who stood in the corner and kept smiling and winking at me."

Hiding in a corner and blinking?

When Reinhard said this, Lacuna felt a little embarrassed and said, "Uh, sir, I have a humble official status, so..."

After hearing this, Thiago also understood that he was just a low-ranking official in the court, so he said, "Viscount Lacuna, please bring your Excellency in."

Hearing Thiago speak, Lacuna noticed that there was a soldier wearing northern-style armor next to Reinhard, and asked doubtfully, "Uh... who is this?"

"Oh. He is Thiago, the administrative envoy of our Longhui Province."

It turned out to be the local chief executive. No wonder he had such a loud tone. Lacuna secretly paid attention to Thiago. For such local officials, Lacuna knew that he would also want to please. If he couldn't survive in the imperial capital in the future, he would go to the local government to find a meal. If so, this kind of person is the most needed.

After looking around, he found that this person looked very familiar, so he asked, "Sir Tiago, have you met this person before? I feel that he looks very familiar!"

Because Tiago had offended many people in the past and was sent to the north, this was not considered a glorious matter. When Lacuna asked him about it, his face suddenly became a little unnatural. He snorted and stopped talking to him.

Seeing this, Reinhard knew that Thiago must not want to mention that he had been an official in the imperial capital before, so he pulled Lacuna over and smiled, "Haha, Lacuna, I look familiar to you, and Thiago looks familiar to you." You look familiar, you are suspected of being a flatterer."

From his words and deeds just now, Reinhard judged that this Lacuna must be an important figure in the slave market. Although the official was not a big one, it was often such small officials who controlled some small privileges.

Nowadays, the North needs a lot of manpower, and it is necessary to make friends with such slave-owning officials.

Looking at Thiago who remained calm, Reinhardt walked over, pulled off the corner of his clothes, and said softly, "Thiago, have you forgotten, why are we here? This man seems to be a figure in the slave market, and you are still worrying about what you are doing with all your old shit! I will leave the purchase of slaves to you in the future."

When Reinhardt said it, Thiago immediately woke up. Now is indeed not the time to care about those things, not to mention that Lacuna was just talking casually, why was he so sensitive?

Thinking of this, Thiago immediately adjusted his mentality, stepped forward with a smile, put his arm around Lacuna's shoulders, and said, "Haha, I thought I was the only one who could flatter you, but I didn't expect Lord Lacuna, you are better than I'm better at it. To be honest, you look very familiar to me. Maybe we were good friends before, don't you think?"

"Oh?! Mr. Thiago is right, he is right, hahaha! You see, my subordinate is really doing his best in front of you, just laughing and laughing!"

Seeing Reinhardt and Thiago being so affectionate to him, Lacuna felt happy. He was very lucky today. Who is Reinhardt? He is the most popular minister around His Majesty. Your Majesty Become a sworn brother. Hey! It’s so prosperous this time…

…

Entering the venue, Reinhard found that the place was already full of people, and on the big stage in the center of the venue, a middle-aged man dressed in a coquettish manner was talking nonstop about the slaves who were about to appear.

"Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen, the aliens from the Hyder Plain in the south are about to appear now. They are all women. They will bring beautiful and beautiful music to your life. Everyone cheers. "

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone started to cheer enthusiastically. The curtain behind the stage was raised, and a group of singers who were locked on hinges and dressed in tattered clothes slowly walked out.

These people looked similar to the human race. When they got to the middle of the stage, they were forced to start singing under the control of a person behind them.

"Sir, let's go sit in the private room." Lacuna bent down and led Reinhard into the side corridor.

These women have good voices, but Reinhard is not interested. What can these races who can only compose and sing do in the north...

Although Reinhard sympathized with their situation, he knew that this world was not a world filled with compassion.

When he and a group of friends were trapped in the slums, who could pity them? Where is the sympathy?

Hundreds of people starve to death in the slums every day, and hundreds more join the slums every day. Reinhardt is alive because of his own efforts, not pity!

Thinking of what happened in the past, Reinhard couldn't help but get a little angry. He hurriedly calmed down his anger and then realized that he had entered the box.

The box was actually at the highest point of the venue, with high-end chairs made of animal skins and tables carved from fine nanmu.

There were exquisite crystal wine glasses on the table, and one of the glasses contained aged fruit wine. Reinhard looked at the transparent floor-to-ceiling crystal barrier in front of him. There were four scenes, one of which was the entrance to the venue. Seeing this, Reinhard turned around and asked, "Lacuna, your status in this slave market is probably not low, right?"

"Uh... Sir, I am the person in charge of this venue. This is also the promotion of some people in the market. I have such a little right..." Lacuna is quite satisfied with his status. Like him The status of this viscount is everywhere in the imperial capital, but not every viscount can be as famous as him.

Reinhard listened indifferently and continued, "Thiago, do you know how to deal with imperial officials involved in business operations for the purpose of expanding private property?"

Thiago was stunned for a moment, but he soon came to his senses and replied, "Sir, as far as I know, he should be punished according to law!"

Hearing Reinhardt and Thiago singing, Lacuna's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly said in frustration, "Wow... Sir, it's obvious that these are the big guys in the market who pushed the little ones to the front desk. In fact, the small ones don’t get the dividends from the market!”

Reinhard didn't rush to call out Lacuna. Instead, he walked forward and whispered angrily, "Lacuna, your acting skills are terrible. Get out of here."

Lacuna knelt on the ground, "Sir, isn't this a routine thing for us? We have to pretend."

After saying that, he looked at Thiago, his look clearly saying, if you weren't there, there would be no need for me to pretend.
