Chapter 46 Take what you need
Viscount Clement had been dressing up in front of the mirror for half an hour. He always felt that the color of the bow tie did not match his hat, and he was not completely satisfied after seven or eight changes.He didn't think it was because of the excess fat on his face, but instead regarded it as a status symbol.

The history of the city of Istaren is only 300 years. The emerging aristocratic class that thrives here lacks the background of ancient wealthy families, so it is also called "Northern land rich." They are eager to integrate into the real aristocratic class. But lack of deep understanding.

As far as self-image is concerned, some people think that a blue-white complexion and black bags under the eyes are what a nobleman should look like, because it means that he does not engage in manual labor, and he sings and enjoys himself every night.Mr. Viscount believes that only a plump body can show that his family is well-off and has ample money.

Although he was always ridiculed or ridiculed for this, Mr. Viscount didn't care.He is very clear that he has a few catties and a few taels of ability, and everything will be fine if he can keep his ancestral property well in his life.As for the arduous task of forging ahead, it still has to be placed on the body of his genius son.

Mungo is the most outstanding genius among the noble children of this generation. As early as the age of 14, he was promoted from a mage apprentice to a full-fledged mage. He was favored by the head of the public academy Sodok, and he was even very likely to become a new generation of crystal sages. successor.For a small family, this child is the hope of ZTE.

Viscount Clement now devoted all his energy and all the resources of the family to Mungo. Now this genius son is everything to him and everything to the future of the family.

"Master, Miss is back and wants to see you." The butler's voice came from behind, and Mr. Viscount twisted his lips and hummed.He doesn't have much interest in paying attention to this young daughter with mediocre qualifications.In the afternoon, he would also invite Dean Sodok to have afternoon tea with several distinguished ladies. The most important thing to consider now is how to satisfy that greedy old pervert.

"You should be studying in the academy at this time, Yujiali." Viscount Clement turned around and said to his little daughter.When he saw the girl's hesitation, he couldn't help frowning.This little girl's personality is too introverted, even a little cowardly, with no talent, and she can't see any progress after studying in the academy for several years.

Under the halo of genius of the eldest son, Mr. Viscount's eyes became harsh.

"Father, I have something very important to discuss with you." You Jiali said bravely.

"I'm listening." Viscount Clement nodded impatiently.

"I just inquired about senior sister Laurana...you know, she is the direct disciple of Master Stephen. She has a bottle of magic essence potion made by the master and wants to sell it." Yu Jiali dare not look her father in the eyes, He bowed his head and said.

"Essence of magic potion?" Viscount Clermont's eyes lit up, "Are you sure it's the legendary potion of magic power essence that can improve the effect of meditation?"

"Yes... yes, I confirmed the effect of that bottle of potion to my senior, and thought it might be helpful to my brother, so...so I pre-ordered it on my own initiative. But the price is too expensive, and my senior refuses to lower the price. The girl became nervous, and her mouth immediately stuttered, but Viscount Clermont still understood what she meant.

"You are right! You Jiali, money is not a problem!" Mr. Viscount laughed loudly, rushed over in three steps at a time, hugged his little daughter into his arms, and kissed her forehead hard a mouthful.

As early as when Mungo was identified as a talent for magic, Viscount Clermont started planning and made a long list of all the people or items that were helpful to his son's studies, and the magic essence potion was on this list in the top ten.

Meditation can restore mental power and enhance magic power, and it is a must-do homework for spellcasters every day.And this potion can make the mage's meditation effect twice the result with half the effort, greatly shortening the time required for promotion.Because of this, the supply of this kind of potion is in short supply among the mage community, and it is almost impossible to find it on the market. It can be said that it has a price but no market.

Laurana's teacher, great alchemist Stephen, is capable of making this potion, but Master Stephen is old and has a great reputation. Not to mention ordinary little nobles, even the head of the academy, Sodok, can't force him to work .Only his only student, Laurana, can receive the full cultivation of the master without reservation.

Thinking of this, Mr. Viscount suddenly realized that his daughter is not so useless.If Mungo is the best genius among the nobles of this generation, then Laurana is the well-deserved number one genius girl in the public academy.Although he has been studying with the master in the high tower, and has been low-key and not well-known outside, this name has long been recorded by Mr. Viscount as the second place on his list.

The direct disciple of the great alchemist is like a mobile vault.If Meng Ge can win the heart of that young lady, his future mage path will basically be smooth sailing.

Thinking of this, Mr. Viscount couldn't help feeling a little regretful, blaming himself for not paying more attention to his little daughter's life.Unexpectedly, Yujiali made friends with Laurana quietly, and she herself didn't know how precious this friendship was.

Just like this time, if there is no such friendship, how can we get inside information in advance?If Laurana auctioned the potion publicly, with the identity and assets of Viscount Clermont, she would never even think about competing with the big families in the city.

"You Jiali, you are such a good boy. You have finally grown up and know that you are thinking about your brother, which is very good." Mr. Viscount was a little incoherent in excitement, holding his daughter's face and kissing again: "I love you, Baby!"

It was the first time for a weak girl to be praised so much by her father, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. She still didn't quite understand the reason for her father's excitement. Unprecedented compliments filled my heart with a sense of happiness.

Both father and daughter received unexpected surprises, and the warm family atmosphere that had not been seen for many years reappeared.

"You Jiali, take the best carriage and invite Miss Laurana to come to our house for a detailed discussion." Mr. Viscount calmed down and immediately made a decision. He then ordered the housekeeper: "Go and pick up the young master immediately." Come back, no matter what he is doing, tell him to come back to me immediately!"

When El and Laurana arrived at the Clermont family's mansion, the servants had already washed the road with clean water, laid out a red carpet and flowers at the door, and looked like they were about to welcome a princess.

"Rabbits don't even eat grass by the side of their nests. Is it okay for you to bully Miss Yujiali like this?" Er suppressed the twitching of the corners of his eyes, and asked in a low voice behind Laurana.Although I had heard about the eldest lady's plan on the way here, seeing the joyful appearance of this family with my own eyes still makes people unbearable to look directly at.

"What are you talking about, brother El. Yujiali got a compliment from her father, Mr. Viscount got a chance to introduce his son to me, brother Mungo got a potion, and I got a gold coin. Everyone got Isn't this a good thing for everyone to get what you want?" Laurana smiled slightly, showing her cute little canine teeth.That innocent and harmless look made El's head sweat coldly, and it only made him feel that the eldest lady was more unpredictable.

The real negotiation only lasted for a quarter of an hour. Laurana put on a polite and repulsive look, and directly proposed a price that made Viscount Clermont want to vomit blood but could barely bear it. .As long as Mr. Viscount hesitated or procrastinated, he would leave immediately.

This tough attitude quickly turned into practical gains. Viscount Clermont failed to save himself a single gold coin until the end, and honestly paid for it.Seeing that Laurana put away the gold ticket and was about to leave, the exhausted Mr. Viscount immediately winked at his son desperately.

The gold coins have been spent, the girl can't let go!
"Senior Laurana, I happen to be going back to the academy too. Why don't we go together?" Meng Ge understood, stood up and invited.

"I'm very sorry, there was a sudden change in my family, and I urgently need this cash flow. I have to go back and deal with it first." Laurana shook her head and politely declined Mungo's invitation, at the same time revealing her unspeakable difficulties just right.

"Please forgive my curiosity, but I don't know what kind of troubles you have encountered in your family?" Mungo asked with concern, his heart moved.
