Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

How can one be a noble, even if it is the lowest knight title, without some wisdom?

In fact, the old man's brain is not too bad, only the male protagonist's eldest brother, the eldest son Kurt, is bad.

Then looking back, the rare magician suddenly appeared here, and then stayed for a few days and refused to leave. Anyone would guess what the other party was up to.

If Reed stayed, it would be forcing Alfred to attack him, and Reed must avoid this situation.

And the best way to avoid it is to leave first, showing that he has no ill intentions, and then return after Alfred is purified.

It happened that Reed needed to adjust the strategy he had thought of in advance because of the wrong time node.

So he really needs to leave the Knight Baumeister Territory, go to complete other things first, and then come back to find the male protagonist.

After leaving the back mountain, Reed teleported twice and disappeared in the Riku Mountains.

It took almost a day for Reed to walk out of the Riku Mountains and come to Breichberg, the main city of the Marquis of Breichlode.

After exchanging the monsters hunted along the way for money, Li De rested for a night in Brechberg, and then took the spaceship to the capital the next day and headed straight for the capital.

It was not until three days later that the spaceship finally arrived at the capital of the Kingdom of Helmut.

After getting off the spaceship, Li De entered the capital city, and after asking someone about it, he went in one direction.

After half a day, Li De came to the door of a mansion that looked pretty good in the area where lower-level nobles gathered.

After letting the servants report, Li De was taken to the living room.

At this moment, a man in his thirties was already waiting here.

"Nice to meet you, Your Excellency Knight Baumeister. My name is Li De, and I am a magician." Li De first introduced himself.

"Dear magician, I am William Hans von Baumeister." William also answered with aristocratic etiquette.

"Sir William, I came here mainly because I was entrusted by someone else to negotiate something with Sir William." Li De did not pretend to be deep, and said directly.

"I wonder who you are here for and what you are here to negotiate?" William asked curiously at this moment.

"I am here for Sir Arthur von Benno Baumeister." Li De just said this, and William's face suddenly became cold.

"Sir Li De, if I heard it correctly, you said you are here to negotiate something for the Baumeister branch that owes debts and does not pay it back?" William interrupted what Li De wanted to say later.

"Sir William, I am not a member of the Baumeister family, so you don't have to treat me with this attitude. In fact, the reason why I am willing to make a trip is just that Sir Arthur promised me a lobbying fee of ten gold coins." Li De said slowly.

"Ten gold coins? I didn't realize he's quite rich!" William's tone did not change because of Reed's words, but became a little sarcastic.

"No, Sir William, I think you misunderstood something. The ten gold coins are not paid to me by Sir Arthur, but by you, Sir William!" Reed said with a faint smile.

"What!? Sir Reed, are you kidding me!" William, who heard this, immediately slapped the table and stood up.     "What happened, sir?" A lady appeared at the door of the living room and asked with concern.

"Nothing, I was just startled by a joke!" William immediately waved his hand, with a sarcastic expression on his face.

"Sir William, let's continue!" Reed said.

"Continue, Sir Reed, I don't think it's necessary to continue this ridiculous negotiation." William said with a sneer.

"Sir William, you can't make decisions too quickly. Sir Arthur will definitely not underestimate your wisdom. In this case, since he still proposed negotiation, it proves that this matter is indeed worth negotiating." Li De argued calmly.

Hearing this, William frowned a little, because he really couldn't think of any matter that required him to take out ten gold coins as a reward on behalf of the branch family that should be complained about to reward the magician in front of him.

"Sir Li De, I wonder if I can listen in?" The lady who was standing at the door just now has walked to William's side and asked.

"Of course, after all, the lady is also qualified to know about this matter." Li De nodded.

"Then please ask Sir Li De to explain the things that need to be negotiated." The lady asked on behalf of William.

"First of all, the other party's request is to wipe out the funds that Sir Arthur's grandfather borrowed from the main family to open up the territory, and the second is to pay my lobbying fee." Li De said slowly.

"Sir, please continue!" After Reed opened his mouth, William was immediately furious, but was stopped by his wife before he could speak, and then he said to Reed.

"Okay, Madam, in my opinion, Sir Arthur's request is actually very reasonable. After all, what he wants to pay is his best offspring." Reed still said slowly.

"Sir, if I heard correctly, you mean that Arthur von Benno Baumeister intends to sell his offspring to me?!" The anger on William's face was replaced by a sense of absurdity at this moment.

"Yes, that's what Sir Arthur meant. He plans to give his eighth son to Sir William. Whether he is adopted as a son or a son-in-law, it's all up to Sir William to decide." Li De nodded and said.

"Asshole, is he mocking me for not having a son?!" This time William was really angry, and even his wife was angry.

"Sir William and Mrs. William, I still say that, don't get angry too early. If you miss the opportunity to make the family take off because of anger, you will regret it very much." Li De's face remained unchanged, and his tone was still narrating slowly.

"Let the family take off?" William and his wife frowned when they heard this.

"Sir William, if I said that Sir Arthur's eighth son, who showed the qualifications of a senior magician at the age of six, was the object of this negotiation, would you still be so angry?" Li De suddenly lowered his voice and said.

Uh.

Hearing this, William and Mrs. William were stunned for a moment.

After several breaths, he spoke with an unbelievable look and tone: "Mr. Li De, you are not kidding, right?"

"No, Wendelin von Benno Baumeister is the disciple of the famous magician Alfred Rayford." Li De shook his head and said.
