Dominate the world in three weeks?

The eldest son of Prime Minister Freeman and his father are really a family carved out of the same mold. They seem to be gentle and considerate people, but in fact they are insidious and cunning and can put on airs the most.Compared with him, Xavier looked very reckless, which was not enough.

Duke Pacino has to worry a lot about his son, right?

While thinking about it, Terrence smiled at Elvega: "I think it's good to learn some things about this properly, at least you don't have to worry about falling in love with some untimely woman in the future."

"It seems that Your Excellency the Duke has his own plans, but I presume to do so."

Terrence's words would obviously set off Xavier's anger again, Elviga had to answer first, and held Xavier back.

"I remember that you are about to turn 12 years old, and you are entering the Royal Academy of Magic and Martial arts? I heard that your magic ability has improved a lot recently. I wish you a happy school life. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time." , I would be honored to have the opportunity to help you."

Elvega kindly expresses his favor to Terrence, in fact implying that Xavier does not need to be too public here, and the place where they compare is not at the banquet.

Of course, Xavier heard Elvega's subtext, he snorted, and picked up the topic again: "El is right, my cousin, I hope you can adapt to school life well, don't worry about Aldrette You must know that when you enter the school, your title is irrelevant, there are countless talents worthy of your study, and a third-level mage is nothing."

"Thank you for your teaching, cousin." Terrence smiled, unmoved at all.

Xavier felt that his words had not had any impact on Terrence, so he finally shut up and returned to his seat with Elvega.

Terrence supported his chin with one hand, and smiled lightly: "The only similarity between my cousin and Duke Pacino is that he is too noisy."

"You are too gentle with disrespectful people, master." Lancer said behind him.

Just when Xavier spoke rudely, Lancer had touched the sword at his waist, but Terrence stopped him secretly.

"It's too ugly to fight at other people's banquets. I'm really looking forward to the school life in the future." Terrence waved his hand.

He picked up a small piece of pastry on the table, and the songbird that had been staying obediently above his head suddenly poked its head out and snatched it at an extremely fast speed.

"Don't try to eat on top of my head." Terrence warned in a low voice.

The songbird uttered a low cry, and flew obediently to the table.

Terrence touched the pet's feathers, picked out a few pastries and put them on the table, and handed the half-empty plate to the blond knight behind him: "Do you want to eat?"

"...No need, master." Lancer replied with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

While the two were talking, the light in the living room suddenly dimmed, but there was still plenty of light on the high platform not far away.

A short man with a big beard walked up and bowed to the nobles sitting below: "My humble Stiller, I feel very honored to be able to invite so many distinguished lords."

Although this big businessman who traveled all over the world was short in stature, he was not fat. On the contrary, he looked very strong, and his two muscular arms made no one suspect that the other party could swing a lifting axe.In short, the appearance of this person reminds people of the dwarf race that has disappeared with the Great Annihilation.

Stiller probably really wanted to hold this banquet directly into an auction. After he took the stage to give a speech, countless rare treasures were sent up for display.

Of course, even if this businessman got into the eyes of money, he probably wouldn't be so stupid as to let the invited guests pay for it at the banquet he held. Whenever the display was finished, these things would be privately delivered to the interested nobles.

Terrence has obtained two kinds of precious magic plants.

Although I don't know how superb the other party's business methods are, but today, it seems that Stiller is very good at interpersonal management.

This banquet seems to be held with the temperament of a nouveau riche, and it will inevitably be criticized by the aristocratic circle.But Stiller must have had his way.

Demonstrating wealth is a means of demonstrating one's own strength.Compared with giving gifts in private, such an approach is obviously better for people to know that the great businessman's wealth is not rumored.He is not humblely asking the empire to allow him to stay here, but to prove that he has a mutually beneficial relationship with the empire.

It seems that Earl Cantor did not come in vain this time.

Terrence twirled the sign in his hand and narrowed his eyes.

At this time, the banquet had passed for more than an hour and was coming to an end.

The servant pushed up a cage about half a person high, and the cage was covered with a red cloth, pretending to be mysterious.This made Terrence really curious.

Before, things worth a thousand dollars were never hidden. Terrence thought that the cage was a high-level precious monster.

But after the servant lifted the red cloth, people discovered that the person locked inside was actually a person.

Of course, buying and selling slaves is not uncommon in the empire, and many underground auctions will list the handsome young men and beautiful girls who have been trained/trained.

But the person huddled in the cage was skinny, with brown hair messily draped over his body, wrapping his skeletal body like weeds.The exposed eyes are incredibly large, almost completely covering the whites of the eyes.

Here's a guy who's hard to think of as "human".

The aristocrats sitting below immediately started talking, and they probably couldn't understand what Stiller wanted to do by showing this monster.Even some people have darkened their faces unhappily, feeling that seeing such a dirty and ugly thing is an insult to them.

Stiller walked quickly to the side of the cage, and suppressed the discussion with his distinctive bell-like voice: "Masters, please allow me to introduce the most precious thing that appeared tonight—"

He pointed to the gender-indistinguishable person in the cage and said, "This is a precious child I got from a noble lord at a high price, and the only one who ate the original fruit."

Terrence looked up.

Four years ago, someone did indeed take pictures of the strange fruit from the White Bone Tower Forest that appeared at the auction at that time.In order to know the effect of this fruit, the noble who won the bid fed it to his slave, which made the other party develop magical abilities.

Because of this, adventurers have been looking for new original fruit in the White Bone Forest.But the news about the nobleman and the slave gradually disappeared.

Terrence didn't expect to hear about the original fruit here again.

Stiller signaled the servant to come forward and unlock the cage, and pulled out the person who was curled up inside. The face of the person who was not much bigger than a slap was revealed with the flick of his hair.Terrence noticed that the opponent's hand was wearing a silver chain with engraved patterns, which was probably used to restrain the mobilization of magic power.

"About the legend of the original fruit, I believe all adults have heard about it. Unfortunately, the nobles who photographed it missed a precious opportunity, so they have been studying whether they can re-extract useful ingredients from the people who ate the original fruit .But because it has never been successful, it was finally sold to me.”

"I am not a sorcerer, I only know that this child is rather rare, so I took it over. The nobleman made a kind of wine with the blood of this child during the research process. It is said that it is delicious and mellow. Taste it."

Stiller clapped his hands, and several maids came in with trays. The liquid in the wine glasses on the trays rippled with a crimson halo, which almost made people think it was a whole glass of blood.

Terrence frowned as he watched the maid put down the wine glass, and the cool aroma of the wine immediately wafted away.Some nobles who were willing to try were already drinking from their wine glasses.

Terrence said nothing with a sullen face, and suddenly stood up from his seat and walked onto the high platform.

"His Excellency the Duke of Aldret?"

Stiller looked at Terrence's not-so-good-looking face in surprise, and asked with some trepidation: "Excuse me, Your Excellency, is it because I didn't entertain you well?"

Terrence ignored him and walked over to the man who fell at his feet.On closer inspection, the man looked even worse.His arms were full of knife wounds, and there was a long scar on his abdomen, indicating that someone had cut his stomach open.But he survived the torture.Terrence stretched out his hand to brush away his messy long hair, his face was so thin that his sunken cheeks had a tear mole under his eye.

Terrence stared at the tear mole and said, "I want him."

"What?" Stiller didn't hear clearly for a moment.

"I said I want this person, you can make a price." Terrence straightened up and looked at Stiller.

Suddenly there was a laugh from below, and Xavier raised his glass and stood up and said, "My dear cousin, your hobby is really strange. Why, do you want to take him home and drink his blood every day?"

Terrence narrowed his eyes and glanced at him, the contempt in the corner of his eyes was clearly visible under the light.

Stiller was afraid that the two would quarrel at the banquet held by him, so he quickly turned in the same direction, stood between the two, and said, "How can I not give you what Your Excellency the Duke wants? Let you pay. It’s just that this child can’t even speak, I’m afraid it’s not enough to satisfy you.”

"Mr. Stiller is willing to give up. Your generosity will be remembered by Aldrett."

There was a flash of light in Stiller's eyes and then quickly disappeared, and he nodded respectfully.

Terrence looked down at the people on the ground: "Want to follow me?"

The man's fingers on the ground moved slightly, he looked at Terrence's face with almost white eyes, and after a long time, he grabbed Terrence's trousers with great effort.

Terrence smiled.

In the previous life, among the subordinates who followed Terrence, there was a taciturn but extraordinary capable mage. The mage was not outstanding, but there was a tear mole in the corner of his eye.No one knows his origin, only Terrence knows that the other party has something to do with Yuanguo.

In this life, Terrence just found him earlier.
