Chapter 863: Standing
After a "friendly" exchange, Thaddeus and Verin signed the trade document.
The First Magic Academy in the Royal Capital purchased 500,000 bronze-level demon soul light balls from the Qixing Leader for 7,000 high-level magic crystals, 580,000 mid-level magic crystals and 6.5 million low-level magic crystals, and 100,000 One silver level demon soul light ball and one thousand gold level demon soul light balls.
After the signing, there was no tense atmosphere between the two parties.
Business is business, feelings are feelings, and the two of them still make a clear distinction.
Thaddeus added a cup of tea for himself, took a slow sip, and then issued an invitation: "Weilin, would you like to come to the First Academy of Magic as a visiting professor."
Seeing this, Verin smiled and refused: "Your Excellency Thaddeus, I don't think I have this ability, so let's forget it."
"If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time." Thaddeus said with a smile.
Looking at the old guy's eyes, Verin was very wary. He felt that Thaddeus was digging a trap, but as long as he refused resolutely, he would not be able to trap him.
After some small talk, the two ended the meeting.
After completing the transaction, Verin left the First Magic Academy with Shemia, Kyle and a lot of magic crystals.
After returning to the manor and resting for a few days, Verin received an invitation from Barbra.
In the study, Verin handed the invitation letter to Kyle and asked, "What do you think the grandson of the finance minister will do with me?"
"Lord, I can't tell it yet, but there is only one ultimate goal, and that is to get closer to you." Kyle thought for a while and replied, "He met you through Krell. But we only have a brief relationship with each other, and the relationship is not strong. It can only be regarded as an acquaintance. "
Weilin touched his chin and said, "Then go and see him. It just so happens that I also want to buy some properties in the royal capital. After all, as a god-given earl, I will inevitably have to come to the royal capital frequently in the future."
…
Late at night, outside a manor outside the royal capital, Verin brought Kyle there.
As for Shermia, she went to visit her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Babra stood at the entrance of the manor, saw Verin's arrival, and greeted him with a smile.
Weilin got off the carriage, laughed loudly, and stepped forward to give the other party a hug.
Both parties knew that the other was practicing, but they didn't care, as long as others saw this scene.
"Your Excellency Wei Lin, please come in." Babra let go of Wei Lin and made a gesture of invitation.
Seeing this, Weilin was polite and entered the manor with Barbra under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The moment you step through the door, the scene inside the manor can be called luxurious.
The human maid has a graceful figure, wearing a uniform and revealing maid costume, with the skirt fluttering in the wind; the slender elf maid, with big eyes shining brightly, and fair skin, exuding a faint luster; the half-elf maid has a soft figure, She moves among many nobles with her agile movements; Shia's orc maid is full of wild charm, and her unique animal-like appearance arouses the most primitive desire to conquer in her heart.
Babra caught a strange emotion flashing in Weilin's eyes, and explained with a smile: "Your Excellency Weilin, this is a secret in the capital. If you are interested, you can take a few people and leave."
A smile appeared on Weilin's face, he shook his head and rebuffed in a gentle tone: "Just satisfy your curiosity. After all, the person in my family doesn't like my behavior like this."
"Your Excellency Weilin, let's go sit over there first. The exchange meeting won't start until later." Seeing this, Babra invited him and ended the topic.
This is of course an excuse.
Since Verin has no interest in these maids, there is no need for him to continue this topic, otherwise it will make both of them feel embarrassed.
When they arrived at the rest area, the two of them were polite to each other. Weilin looked helpless and sat down first.
When Babra saw Weilin sitting down, he sat on the left side and waved to the two maids to bring them cakes, tea and wine.
Kyle sat down on the right side, listened to the exchange between the two, and added a few words when appropriate.
Half an hour later, seeing that the time had come, Babra took the opportunity to ask: "Your Excellency Wei Lin, what do you think of the fourth prince?"
"Brother Babra, I'm ashamed to say that I don't know you very well." Weilin smiled, took a sip of tea, and said calmly, "As a noble of the kingdom, I only know that I I am only loyal to His Majesty the King, and I don’t pay much attention to anything else.”
Babra smiled bitterly, took a sip of wine, sighed and said: "Your Excellency Wei Lin lives a very clear life, but unfortunately I am already in the game, so I can't help but be a bystander."
Seeing this, Weilin offered a few words of comfort, but did not reveal his thoughts.
With his grandfather as his backer, he didn't need to take sides.
In addition, the Akers family does not encourage family members to participate in the battle for royal heirs.
When the midnight bell rang, Babra stood up and said apologetically: "Your Excellency Wei Lin, I have to go to host the exchange meeting, so I will take my leave first."
Weilin also stood up and responded in a gentle tone: "Brother Barbra, please do."
After Barbra left, Verin waved several Shia orc maids down, and then asked Kyle to raise a magic shield to block the prying eyes of others.
"I really didn't expect that Babra would side with the fourth prince, and I don't know who his brothers and cousins would side with?" Weilin leaned on the sofa and said.
After hearing this, Kyle replied: "Lord, I feel that none of these princes have any chance of being crowned king."
"Why is this?" Weilin looked at Kyle and asked with some confusion.
"Intuition." Kyle saw this and said slowly, "Maybe I guessed wrong."
"Forget it, no matter who ascends the throne, it doesn't matter to me." Weilin waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's fine if the new king behaves well. If he messes up, those royal legends will teach him how to behave. of."
In the history of the Kingdom of Ilya, there are many mediocre people who have ascended to the throne. It is better not to act like a monster. If it causes turmoil in the kingdom, there is only one end: being deposed by the royal legend, blocking the extraordinary path, falling into ordinary people, and being imprisoned for decades. , die of old age naturally.
The legend does not belong to the country, but the country belongs to the legend. This sentence is not empty talk.
Two hours later, Babra was a little tired and came to the rest area where Weilin was again.
In this exchange, Weilin directly stated his purpose and did not talk about innocuous things.
"Your Excellency Weilin, are you interested in griffins?"
After hearing Barbra's words, Weilin's eyes lit up and he asked, "Can you tell me in detail?"
"It's my honor." Barbra smiled gently, and then began to explain to Verin.
