The Witcher: Synthesize Everything

Chapter 73 The Bid at the Birthday Banquet

……

afternoon a week later.

With Roqueta driving the carriage, Lin Suo was lying on the cashmere cushion, with his head resting on the thigh of the cat blood half-orc maid. The girl gently rubbed his temples, picked a juicy grape, and handed it to her mouth.

"Sweet, so sweet."

This is life~

Suddenly, Lin Suo shook his head violently, causing the cat maid who was rubbing against her to shake.

"This damn noble life almost corroded my iron will."

Lin Suo, who was struggling, suddenly saw the catwoman's frightened expression, and lay back down again.

Mumbling in my heart.

"For your sake, what's the point of being corrupted by this class enemy for a day?...Just a day..."

night.

Uptown Coster, Megalon Castle.

The chaos in the wizarding world did not affect the daily life of the nobles in the slightest. Compared with last time, Lin Suo came here at this time, and he is already familiar with the road.

Stop acting like a bumpkin.

Titan only met him this time, and said that he would introduce him to an official from the capital after the dance at the end of the banquet.

The change of attitude is not about crossing rivers and tearing down bridges, unloading mills and killing donkeys.

Instead, it was tacitly accepted that Lin Suo had entered a subordinate of the Migalon family. With such an identity... naturally, he would not treat him kindly.

It's half my own.

It's just that, Titan thinks this way, and does so because the unspoken rules of Dandong nobles' communication are like this.

Lin Suo, huh, huh.

He doesn't care about attitude, as long as the goal can be achieved, everything is easy to talk about.

The food standard of the banquet was higher than that of the previous dance party.

During the dinner, Titan kept smiling, quite high-spirited.

Seeing his eyes from time to time, Lin Suo speculated that it should be the matter of the rice seeds, which played a big role.

The king of his uncle and father-in-law should have recognized him.

wunderkind~
Lin Suo couldn't help but examine himself, feeling that there were still many flaws, and he needed to continue learning.

In a blink of an eye, the banquet is over.

Titan Megalon fulfilled his promise and introduced him to an official in the capital.

Taominos Garenfa Belgrim, because of his lack of qualifications, is an intermediate wizard apprentice who specializes in politics, the third son of the former Prime Minister of the Betos Kingdom, and the left hand of the current imperial consul, who is in charge of buying and selling titles.

"Hi Rhine."

"Hello, Lord Taominos."

Together, the two went to a small corner where no one was disturbed.

"Titan has told me everything, so let me briefly tell you about the empire's review of purchase qualifications."

"My honour, sir."

"Ah."

It seems that he is quite satisfied with Rhine's attitude, and Taominos is also unequivocal in speaking, directly expressing his request.

"First of all, you have the blood of Dandong people. In this regard, you are qualified just by looking at your appearance."

"On the surface, you must have a certain amount of economic strength. Titan also told me that it depends on what kind of title you want. Lord and Baron are definitely enough, and Viscount is not enough."

"learn."

"Well, based on your origin and background, you must have no direct criminal records and no commercial crimes."

"should be no problem."

"This point must be confirmed by wizards from the School of Prophecy and Astrology of the Golden Academy through witchcraft. It is useless for you to say it."

Lin Suo was taken aback for a moment, and was immediately worried.

There are no cameras in this era, and there is only one household registration system for identity, which records where you are from, but there are also many people who have never been recorded.

Therefore, ever since he learned that Yinyu Village was dead, he was very relieved of his identity. Although Xia Erdan had opened an identity certificate, Lin Suo gave him money.

Not documented.

The expatriate ambassador, after enjoying the "northern women" in two brothels, he should go to heaven as soon as he leaves, that is not a good girl.

But witchcraft...

If you use prophecy witchcraft to spy, you will be a little panicked.

At this point, there is no way out, and repenting rashly will cause Taominos to become suspicious.

There is only one way to go to black.

Even if the incident happened, it would only be to see through the false identity, and it is not necessarily true. This kind of assembly line system of buying officials has a long history. It is impossible to entrust a great wizard to check every time. It must be a small magic.

I made up my mind.

Lin Suo asked again.

"Your Excellency Taominos, if I want to buy a Viscount, how many magic stones do I need?"

"Oh? It seems that you have some savings."

Taominos thought for a while, took out a booklet from his arms, opened it and said.

"For the viscount, there are two ways for you to choose. One is to take the imperial process. The price is around 20 magic stones. There is no fiefdom, and you can only enjoy the basic benefits of the title, and have the legal military power of 200 people."

"The other way is to go through the channel of Betos Kingdom. It only costs [-] magic stones. Of course, you need to pay me an extra [-]."

"What is the difference?"

Lin Suo squinted his eyes, trying to figure out what Taominos was thinking.

"It's the same as the rights conferred by the empire, but..."

"You will have a territory in Betos Kingdom."

Lin Suo froze for a moment, and his breathing became short of breath.

However, what Taominos said next poured a basin of cold water on him.

"The territory is confiscated to you, and a sum of money is needed every year to support the consumption of the territory, but you cannot pass by yourself."

This……

How about slaughtering Lao Tzu like a pig? !
If you pay less than [-] magic stones, then you will have to give blood to this territory for the rest of your life, and it will only belong to him in name, and he will not be allowed to go there in real life.

Isn't this pure nonsense!
Seeing the unhappiness in Lin Suo's heart, Taominos added.

"The vast majority of people will choose the second one, because this is the only way for them to climb to the top. If they encounter trouble, they can naturally move out of the name of Megalon or Betos Kingdom."

"It's only a few thousand magic stones a year to support a viscount, what do you think?"

The price of supporting a Viscount Land is less than a few thousand magic stones, and Betos Kingdom will definitely make a fortune.

What he needs to do is send money for a long time...

Taominos didn't know about his underground business, so when he set the price, he basically calculated the profit of the grain store and estimated the benefits of expanding production.

But it's not worth the price for just a fake internal treasure.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Suo suddenly showed his white teeth.

Some coldly smiled.

"How about adding a little more, [-] magic stones a year, how about Betos Kingdom giving me a ring of witchcraft knowledge?"

"how is this possible!"

Taominos exclaimed, somewhat angrily.

"You have no idea what you're talking about, shortsighted."

"Mr. Taominos, I only have one person. If you are not satisfied, you can talk about it. The origin is above, isn't it..."

origin, a person...

Taominos looked suspiciously, suspecting that this guy was implying himself, Lin Suo had already looked at him calmly.

"Since your Excellency is not satisfied, how about three a year? Thirty thousand magic stones, even if you go to the Padolon Wizards Association, you can get several first-ring witchcraft."

"And... the origin is above, you and I hit it off right away, why not be beautiful as an adult."
