Don't call me evil god

Chapter 647 Meeting Monger

Led by the waiter, we walked up to the second floor along the crystal spiral staircase next to the banquet hall.

Hand-knitted blankets with beautiful geometric shapes and patterns, which are considered luxury decorations in border areas, are laid directly on the ground here as carpets for people to walk on.

On both sides of the spacious corridor are magic lamps that are always on. Inside the magnificent glass lamps, suspended light balls condensed above the magic circle emit bright white light.

When night falls, they release bright light, illuminating the buildings in the manor with golden splendor.

Even in the royal capital, there are still not many wizards, and magic is still an unattainable luxury for most ordinary citizens.

But in Monger Manor, traces of magic can be seen everywhere.

Behind the magic lamps lies a spellcaster who regularly maintains them.

Miranda lowered her voice and quietly introduced to Pete and Lancelot: "When I was in the capital, I heard that the wizards hired by Mr. Monger to help maintain the operation of his manor were enough to form a wizard group of a hundred people."

Pete couldn't help but let out a sigh.

It is very expensive to support a monk.

Don’t think that mages cast magic with great ease. They don’t have to risk close combat like warriors, nor do they have to practice archery like rangers. But mages may have to work very hard behind the scenes to buy the materials for casting those “expensive magics”!

This is true across the continent, including among Nowen's followers. Many people have saved up enough destiny points and exchanged them for powerful magic, but in the end they are unable to use it.

the reason is simple.

Can't afford spellcasting materials.

If you kill a dangerous level 3 monster, you can, if you are lucky, find materials worth more than ten silver coins from its body. If a team divides the income equally, you will get a few silver coins in total.

If you use a magic with material cost of about 15 silver in order to destroy it, it will be a huge loss!
After hunting monsters for a long time, you ended up going bankrupt. Who can bear this?
Behind every powerful wizard there must be a powerful financial backer, or he himself is a wealthy man with a rich family background.

For example, Archmage Alcandas actually has the support of the Reyak royal family.

The titles of Chief Court Mage and Magical Advisor to His Majesty the King are not obtained for nothing. When the Reyak royal family needs him, Alcandas will help His Majesty the King.

For this, he received thousands of gold coins from the royal family every year.

In the current Kingdom of Reyak, only the royal family, two grand dukes, and Rune Monge can support a complete corps of mages.

The first three were supported by taxes collected from the entire kingdom;
Rune Monger relied entirely on his own financial resources.

The phrase "wealthy enough to rival a country" is really a statement when used to describe him, rather than an exaggeration.

This 91-year-old man who holds a huge fortune still looks very healthy.

Apart from his white hair, Rune Monger's face did not have many wrinkles, age spots, or other signs of erosion by time that would be expected of an old man.

He had a ruddy complexion, shiny skin and a strong body. When Pete, Miranda and Lancelot arrived, he could even stand up and walk over to shake hands with the three of them in turn to express his welcome.

There are many romantic scandals about Rune Monger in the royal capital. For example, at the age of 91, he can still sleep with several women at night and face the pressure of "round-the-clock battle" without losing the upper hand.

It is worth mentioning that after learning of Rune Monge's invitation, "Index Finger" Evelyn colluded with Lancelot. On the grounds that Lancelot was embarrassed, Evelyn did not go upstairs with him. She tried her best to avoid being exposed in front of Monge.

The reason why Rune Monger, who is already extremely old, can maintain such a healthy body is still the same two words: "He is rich."

By regularly asking the priests of the Glowing God Cult to use divine magic to nourish his body, he can maintain his body in the prime of 30 to 40 years old for a long time.

Although if this kind of magical conditioning is interrupted for a period of time, his body will quickly age to the appearance of a 91-year-old.

But he is rich enough to maintain long-term recuperation. After the effect of the magic spell ends, he can immediately release a new magic spell to connect with it. In this way, he can achieve an effect similar to eternal youth.

of course.

Doing this can only change his body, as "aging" at the soul level remains an unsolvable problem.

Many people are now speculating that Rune Monge's time is approaching, and he may very well die of old age one day in the next few years and go to the kingdom of the God of Wealth to start a new life.

There was even a casino in the royal capital that offered odds based on his "deadline".

The time periods available for betting include: 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years, 10 years and more than 10 years.

The option with the lowest odds at the moment is "5-10 years", and most people tend to believe that even if Rune Monger takes good care of his body, it will be difficult for him to live to over 100 years old.

This handicap even attracted the attention of Monger himself, who placed a symbolic bet of 10 gold on the option "over 100 years" with great interest.

"If I can really live to be 100 years old, then these 100 gold coins may be the most profitable investment I have ever made in my life," Rune Monger explained humorously at the time: "Although it didn't earn me even a penny, life span is the most precious thing to me."

Some people become more confused as they age. As they age, their memory starts to deteriorate, their brains are no longer clear, and their thinking becomes dull.
Some people are just the opposite.

The older you get, the more clever you become, and the more cunning you become.

Munger undoubtedly belongs to the latter.

He first greeted Pete and the other two warmly, and said that they could freely visit the room on the second floor of the banquet hall.

The spacious rooms are hundreds of square meters, filled with luxurious furniture, exquisite furnishings and ornaments, rare sculptures, specimens, gems, weapons, and every floor in the room is covered with warm and comfortable hand-woven carpets;

Pushing open the door that separated the space, the bedroom contained a warm water bed that could accommodate multiple people for exercise or rest at the same time. The silk mattress was so expensive that it was as valuable as gold. This bed alone could probably buy a house with a garden in the capital.
In the corner of the room, there is a music player made by goblins. Once you insert a special "music player", it will automatically play beautiful music to liven up the atmosphere.

There are also several special rooms that are obviously prepared for professionals of different professions.

A training ground for warriors to hone their combat skills. The training dummies are made of the same leather that is used on the best shields, which is extremely effective in resisting attacks.

The observatory is a place for mages to meditate and study the mysteries of magic. It has everything from spellcasting materials to various magic arrays to assist in casting spells.

After the visit, Pete had to admit that it was indeed an eye-opener for him.

I’ve seen luxurious things, but I’ve never seen anything so luxurious!

Even the royal family can’t afford a configuration of this specification!
"Do you like it here?"

Rune Monger had a sincere smile on his face and asked cheerfully:
"If you think it suits your taste, how about staying here and resting for a few days?"
