Chapter 198: Transaction, Crossroads of Fate
Chapter 198: Transaction, Crossroads of Fate
Roland smiled and said, "Miss Kayla, I didn't expect you to remember my name. We just talked about my disciples, and now it's time to talk about our relationship. I have some things here that I need your help to look at."
As he spoke, Roland threw out a bag filled with a bunch of things he planned to sell.
Miss Kayla stood up hurriedly. She said with a cold sweat, "Sir, please sit down. I will help you."
As she spoke, she opened the bag, took a look, and then her expression became extremely interesting.
No wonder, several big customers who used to come frequently recently have all disappeared.
Those are all tough guys from the Twilight Council.
In the end, they were all killed by this guy!
After counting, there seemed to be things belonging to about ten people in total.
Suddenly Kayla discovered that in addition to the known missing persons, there were six unknown missing persons.
She also knew these six people. They came here to attend the auction a few days ago.
It seems that they went to Straw Town and were spotted by this damned necromancer!
Woohoo. My client!
Kayla's hands began to tremble slightly, and she felt a little scared.
These six people died together, which means he took care of those six people by himself!
Those are two official wizards and four elite apprentices!
Who is this Leonard?
Could it be Bernard from the Black Abyss?
That terrifying dark wizard had already advanced to the late stage of the first level. He dealt with these six people easily.
But I had checked before, and Bernard's itinerary did not match this Leonard.
Two people are not one person.
At this time, the 'middle-aged nobleman (Roland)' came over. Instead of sitting on the sofa nearby, he sat next to Miss Kayla.
Miss Kayla's whole body tensed up.
"Please sit down, Miss Kayla. You don't have to be so reserved." The middle-aged nobleman (Roland) smiled and patted his side.
Looking at the half-smile on the 'middle-aged noble's' face, Keira's expression froze slightly.
Ever since he became a formal wizard, he has never personally received any clients.
But it seems that I can't escape today.
Kayla forced a smile and carefully sat down next to the middle-aged nobleman. The middle-aged nobleman naturally touched her thigh, his face becoming more and more smiling.
He thought to himself: 'It's still the same feeling as before.'
Kayla cursed in her heart, but she did not stop her hands and helped with the identification honestly.
The items came from ten people, but Roland didn't have much to sell.
Roland kept all the top-grade artifacts. He took out five mid- and low-grade artifacts, as well as ten sets of inner armor and robes.
There were also five other rare items that he had slightly repaired after they were broken in the 'Rainbow Gem Basin'.
It takes time, effort and materials to completely repair these things.
To fully restore them, one would need a master-level artifact alchemist like the 'Old Craftsman' of the Black Abyss.
Roland didn't have many materials to repair it, nor did he have good enough skills, nor did he have that much free time.
Therefore, he repaired these things purely for practice.
Therefore, these slightly repaired artifacts are only marginally usable, at the level of a 'broken gray wand'. Their price is similar to that of lower-grade artifacts.
Therefore, among these twenty items, except for the five medium-grade and low-grade rare items, the rest are considered junk.
But Keira offered a price of six thousand magic stones.
Roland looked at the junk, stunned for a moment, and said, "Ms. Kayla, you're offering an auction price, right? If you're buying smuggled goods, it shouldn't be this high, right? Can't you lower the price a bit?"
Kaila forced a smile and said, "Sir, it's true. I can sell these for a maximum of 6,000 magic stones. And some things need to be sold at a good time.
In addition, these things belong to the customers here, so I cannot sell them here. I need to transport them to other places to sell them, and I have to take a commission on them.
Therefore, according to the black market situation, merchants will definitely try to lower the price. The most they will give is 3,000."
Roland nodded, patted Kayla's soft thigh, and said, "Three thousand then."
Kayla's eyes lit up.
In Roland's eyes, these things were all junk.
But in Kayla's eyes, it was a good business.
The White Fang Society supports high-level alchemists. After repairing all of them, she can earn five or six thousand magic stones by reselling them!
If sold to a war zone, the price will go up even more.
You know, the war has now entered a white-hot stage. Rare items are very expensive.
Feeling the warm big hand on her leg that was taking advantage of her, Kayla secretly cursed in her heart.
Forget it, I'll let you touch it. Three thousand magic stones are not a loss.
Kayla thought to herself, "I knew this guy was a big client. It's a pity he doesn't need money. If he did, he could sell some high-quality items. Not only would the profit be more substantial, it would also attract some traffic and new customers to my territory."
After putting her things away, Kayla prepared to go get the money.
Few wizards are like Roland, who wants to carry everything with him, fearing that it will be stolen when he is not at home.
There are not many wizards as wealthy as Roland.
For a normal wizard, being able to kill a wizard of the same level was considered a good thing, after all, everyone had some ability to escape. So, it was not easy to be a bandit.
Only pure wizards of the Abyss or monster wizards of the Twilight School can make a fortune from this.
Most formal wizards can kill two or three people of the same level in their lifetime, and they can live a lifetime.
Therefore, it is very abnormal for a new lord like Roland to have such huge wealth.
Normal wizards are all like Keira - three thousand magic stones are actually not a small number, and you have to go downstairs to get them.
Seeing that Kayla was about to get the magic stone, Roland stopped her and said, "Don't be impatient, Miss Kayla."
Roland asked, "Do you have any good jewelry lately? Rare items, antiques, anything's fine."
Roland scratched his nose and said, "My wife and I had a fight recently. Besides my wife, I also offended some ladies. So if you have any good things, just give them to me."
Kayla's eyes lit up slightly - another big deal!
She said, "Sir, you have asked the right person! I just received a batch of goods recently. Please wait a moment."
Kayla went out and came back after a long time with nine exquisite small boxes.
Two top-grade rare items and seven antiques.
We have everything: rings, headpieces, earrings, plastrons, brooches, pendants, necklaces.
Among them is an exquisite gem pendant, which is an antique passed down from the royal family of a certain kingdom and has a history of more than a thousand years.
It is associated with a famous queen and is full of legends. According to legend, the gemstone of the pendant was acquired by the witch Alexandra in her youth, but after her death, it was passed into the world.
This antique is more valuable than many rare items. Three magic stones a year. Over a thousand years, that's nearly four thousand magic stones!
The gemstones on this pendant can be combined with other items to form a necklace, but there is no suitable necklace here.
The other items were also very good, all of them were legendary antiques, but the prices were not so exaggerated, one magic stone per year.
Those two top-grade rare items are also jewelry, and any witch would like them.
Looking at the 'middle-aged nobleman's' secretly grinning face, Kayla knew that he was planning to buy them all, and she was immediately overjoyed.
Humph, I let you touch me, and today I will make you bleed profusely!
Kayla struck while the iron was hot and said, "Lord Reynard, although my place is small, I have a lot of connections with the Twilight Council and the White Council, so many goods that will not appear in the mainland will appear here.
Besides, to be honest, a certain princess from Baiqi is one of my shareholders. Since she likes this kind of things very much, she often asks me to keep an eye on them, so I have quite a few good things here."
Speaking of the princess, Keira felt a little depressed.
When Kayla first came, Her Royal Highness the Princess often asked people to come over and spend a lot of money, and even came in person.
It’s like having money but not being able to spend it.
But after just two or three years, she rarely sent anyone.
Keira relied on this gimmick to attract buyers and sellers, but the princess didn't come.
In order to maintain the gimmick, Keira had to find someone to act, pretending that the princess still came to buy things frequently. Then she secretly sold the goods through other channels.
What a loss.
As for the princess's absence, the people on the princess's side explained that Her Royal Highness was undergoing further studies.
But Keira was very suspicious that the princess had squandered all her money and was using this excuse to cover up the truth of her poverty.
Well, it seems she sent someone over a few days ago. It was a beautiful elf lady.
Miss Elf came here secretly, but Keira's eyes are all over the town, how could she not have noticed?
She pretended to be a visitor from outside. But Kayla's eyes were bright. She saw that the things the lady picked out were all things that Her Royal Highness would like!
It must be the princess's man!
She spent a total of 78 magic stones here.
What I bought were small mass-produced luxury items.
While Kayla was distracted, Roland took out two top-grade rare items that he had originally planned to sell when he ran out of money, and exchanged them with Kayla for the two top-grade rare items of jewelry.
Kayla was very willing to make this exchange.
Although those two top-grade rare items do not seem as expensive as the jewelry rare items, they are niche commodities - essentially, they are rare items for show.
But what Roland took out was something that could kill people. It was a hot commodity on the battlefield.
Roland paid cash for the rest of the antiques.
If you do the math, in addition to the 3,000 magic stones he just sold to Kayla, Roland also paid out 3,000 magic stones.
Including the two rare items, the transaction amount is nearly ten thousand magic stones.
Kayla was overjoyed.
Her business is the kind that either doesn't open at all or only lasts for half a year.
Today, she opened a shop.
The most important thing is that Roland bought up all the luxury goods that Kayla didn't know how to sell. God, this is the border, and apart from Lady Catherine, there are not many people coming here for luxury goods!
Keira couldn't help but become more curious about the 'Lord Leonard' in front of her.
She knew that this gentleman must be a very respectable nobleman.
But where exactly is he from?
So much money was thrown away so casually.
Keira laughed even more happily. She pushed away the dirty hand that kept touching the inside of someone's thigh. Seeing that Lord Leonard was a little unhappy, she stopped pushing.
Kayla had no idea that the customer who took advantage of her was her good friend Roland. He was simply a beast in human form!
When Roland used his identity, he treated others as friends. He was usually a gentleman and did not like women.
After concealing his identity, he became shameless and took advantage of his friends.
She refused, but he still tried to touch her. This was probably what Roland was thinking—after all, she didn't know who had done this.
As a result, his identity was exposed just after the transaction was completed and he was sent out by Kayla.
On their way out of the castle, the two met a mysterious wizard.
This wizard looked like an old wizard in the middle stage of the first level, with an ordinary appearance.
But he looked at Roland several times.
The mysterious wizard didn't recognize who Roland was, but he could tell that there was something wrong with him.
Roland also looked at him several times.
Roland didn't see anything, but he just felt that there was something wrong with this wizard.
When Roland saw the wizard smilingly stop Kayla and start chatting with her under the pretext of something, his heart skipped a beat, and he guessed that he had probably been exposed.
Roland thought to himself, "It seems that the magic mirror alone won't work. I need to use the Transfiguration Potion."
"Who is this person who can see through the magic mirror? Could he be one of the mirror's creators?"
"It can't be my mentor!"
Roland knew that if the wizard reminded Keira, Keira would suddenly realize that Leonard was Roland.
So he quickly said goodbye to Kayla and left.
As soon as he walked downstairs and out the door, he heard Kira's cursing voice from the upstairs window.
"You idiot! It's you! You keep teasing me like this, just wait for me!"
Roland fled in panic.
After returning to the tower, Roland received a magic letter.
It was a handwritten letter from Instructor Usak. It was a bit angry, criticizing Roland for his recent philandering. He then told Roland to return home today.
"No need to guess." Roland covered his face. "That wizard must be the mentor, or someone acquaintance of the mentor."
He asked his ghost servants to pack up quickly and prepare to leave.
While packing up his books, Lu Lan found a sword manual called "Valeria Swordsmanship" on the desk.
This made Roland very surprised, and he didn't know whether this book was sent by Miss Yingtao on behalf of his senior.
He sat down and flipped through the parchment, but there was no new message from Miss Yingtao.
I bravely called my senior, but couldn't get through. Apparently, she's still in seclusion?
Shaking his head, Roland sat down at the desk and continued to flip through the unfinished parchment before replying.
At this time, he found Helena's 'letter'.
She wrote a lot of things, hinting that Roland might be lonely, and subtly told him not to make Cousin Catherine angry. It also said that Helena would not be angry about the things the senior had mailed, and would keep it a secret but not send it next time.
Roland rubbed his face fiercely.
Soon, he flipped through Joan's parchment. The content was simple, basically saying that she had received something from Roland and discovered that Roland had a high level of attainment in potions.
There were some 'Southern' potions masters who would like to visit her family's potion garden, and her father was going to hold a potions master's exchange meeting some time, so Joan invited Roland to go.
Frankly speaking, Roland was a little tempted. This kind of exchange was quite meaningful. He might even get an ancient recipe or a precious potion.
Unfortunately, I don’t have much time.
I thought it was a normal letter, but there was a strange pattern at the end of the text. Roland squinted his eyes and looked closely for a long time, and found that it was a lip print.
Roland's eyes went dark.
What on earth did Joan invite Roland to do? It was already full of innuendo.
After a while of worrying, Roland continued to read and soon he came across a strange 'letter (parchment)'
The content is written in Elvish.
And the language structure is very strange, it reads like 'poetry'.
But the content of the poem is not to express emotion, but a kind of arrogant provocation.
The gist of it is, I just sent you Baron Hall's sword manual, so you better practice it quickly. Next time we meet, if you can't beat me, I'll eat you.
Who is this?
I saw the signature - Anna.
Roland was stunned.
Anna can actually write, and not only is her handwriting beautiful, but she can even turn the content into a poem?
Roland was confused for a moment.
He couldn't help but recall the scenes when he had fought with Anna.
At that time, it was difficult for her to control her emotions, unlike Nar who was calm.
Her magic power is terrifying, and her magic resistance is also bizarrely terrifying. But I have never seen her use magic.
Her strength should be between level one and level two, but she fought back and forth with me.
A word flashed through Roland's mind—patient.
Roland suspected that Anna's illness had never fully recovered, so her emotions were very abnormal and it was difficult for her to think normally.
She may have fully recovered now, able to think normally, or at least recovered enough to use the magic letter and the fireplace.
Putting his thoughts aside, Roland looked back at the sword manual, or rather, the 'Way of the Valeria Swordsman'.
A long time ago, I wrote a letter to the baron, asking about the sword manual.
The Baron had forgotten about me at that time and replied with a very polite letter.
Afterwards, during his first communication with Leona, he briefly regained his name, and the Baron suddenly remembered him.
But the next day the Baron had forgotten who he was.
After much thought, the Baron sent a letter to Catherine.
Afterwards, Catherine probably replied to the letter and sent Anna to get the sword manual. She then asked Anna to give it to her. Then, Catherine went into seclusion again.
Anna was so procrastinating that she only remembered to send the sword manual over today.
But how did her big body get in through the fireplace?
Roland was a little confused.
"Senior is still thinking about me. If I tell her about Straw Town, will she believe it?"
"She's not asking Anna to teach me a lesson, is she? If I can't beat her, I'll be castrated?"
Roland's face looked very ugly.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll be on an escort mission in two days, so I probably won't be able to see Anna for a while."
"Well, after we get back, ask someone to send the gift to Senior Sister. It will help to improve her favorability and reduce her murderous aura."
Roland picked out three pieces of antique jewelry and planned to give them to his senior.
He kept the most precious pendant and the two top-grade rare items.
Roland thought to himself, "I have to keep these things to save my life! If she ever comes to kill me, I can just take these things out and offer them to her, and I'll be safe!"
Recalling the way his senior sister had built the hunter's hut, Roland felt a chill in his heart. He had never before glimpsed this realm and didn't know how powerful it was.
The more I think about it, the more frightened I get. Not only is the senior's magic at MAX, it's also one level higher than mine.
Apart from the forbidden transformation, he had no magic that could compare to hers.
But what if I defeat her?
Thinking of this, Roland checked the Book of Alayeh and looked at the senior sister's favorability.
He discovered that the senior sister's murderous aura had indeed gone through the roof. However, her favorability was still full!
Roland was greatly surprised.
These little Rolands did all these things, even dumped their seniors in their own name, but her favorability didn't decrease at all?
This is impossible!
This makes no sense!
In Roland's opinion, the senior student did not witness the verification of the insane theory like him, so he thought it was illogical.
However, with such a favorable impression, if I really defeat the senior sister, it seems that I can really explain the matter.
Those bad things were done by me, Roland. They weren’t done by me, Roland!
If the explanation doesn't make sense, try another way of explaining it!
First explain it firmly, and then you can explain it nicely and gently.
Roland guessed that if the senior student encountered him, she would probably resort to brutal and unreasonable tactics without a word. Then, he could defeat her and use a two-pronged approach: explain the situation clearly, and then comfort her. Any anger he could muster would subside.
Thinking of this, Roland suddenly saw the Book of Alayeh jump slightly a few times on the table.
He opened it and his face became very excited.
You created a fork in the road of destiny for yourself.
[And gave myself two choices]
You decide
A. "Damn, I just lost!" and then lost.
【完成奖励:“这家伙果然到处沾花惹草,没有专心修炼!”*N、保镖任务-1、奇怪的女老板-1、精灵侍女-1、狂笑一个月+1;病情严重度-1】
[B. "Huh? Whose things did I steal?!" Then he lashed out in anger.]
【完成奖励:罗兰的狂笑“哈哈哈!哈哈哈哈!”*1、保镖任务+1、奇怪的女老板+1、精灵侍女+1、3P绯闻+N、囚种+1、病情严重度+1】
"Are you fighting with Senior? She's out of isolation, so we'll meet unexpectedly?"
"It looks like Senior Sister took matters into her own hands to see if I'm qualified for this mission?"
"And I seem to be able to win?"
Roland's courage suddenly grew, and he had the guts to return to the tower. He couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement, but he didn't join in the work of packing the gifts. Instead, he calmed down and prepared the treasure.
He checked the rare items that hadn't been sold after killing the six men over the past two days. Yesterday, he had branded some of them with spiritual imprints and spell locks, and now he did the same with the remaining items.
No matter whether he liked it or not, he tried it.
After it was finished, it was already five or six days later!
He did not leave in a hurry, but distributed the strange objects in his hand into the bags of the ghost servants.
These seven ghosts can naturally use magical items simply.
Roland's magic power would be strained if he operated so many magical objects simultaneously. So he planned to have his ghost servants use the magical objects to ease the flow. When he found a flaw, he would inject his magic power and distract himself to launch a killing move.
These artifacts may appear to belong to the ghosts, but they are actually his. However, the killing moves of a Level 3 Banshee and a proper wizard using these artifacts are naturally very different. If the enemy lets down their guard even for a moment, they will suffer a great loss.
After practicing with many ghost servants, Roland gathered his strength, recovered his magic power, and adjusted his mental and physical state before entering the fireplace and returning to the Black Snake Tower.
The mentor was not there, and the one who greeted Roland was not his fellow disciples, but a strange witch.
After listening to what this witch with a very strange body said, Roland's face became very strange.
