Proof of the Sun King

"Pfft!" Ryan smiled, his smile bright. "Mr. Hadrian doesn't think that sending me two insignificant slaves can make friends with me? Then my friendship is really cheap."

"Auction, fair competition. Since Mr. Hadrian insists on fighting with me, then give it to him, but it's better to make a friend. I don't need this kind of friend who makes fun of himself." Ryan shook his hand. want to leave.

"No no no! Mr. Hadrian really wants to be friends with you!" The butler quickly stopped Ryan and bowed again: "We know that these cheap slaves can't impress Mr. Ryan, but... What about adding a dark elf?"

Now Ryan stopped: "Dark Elf?"

"Yes, let me put it simply, Mr. Hadrian is determined to win this dark elf! And this dark elf will be the witness of the friendship between Mr. Hadrian and Mr. Lane! This afternoon, we will put that dark elf Send it to Mr. Ryan with other slaves!" The butler continued: "Please be sure to honor Mr. Ryan! Everything we do is to get Mr. Ryan's attention and friendship! No malice!"

Lane is interested now.

That dark elf has obviously attracted the attention of most chambers of commerce and many great nobles. They will clearly say that it is for their own sake. After all, their strength and ferocity have been seen by the major chambers of commerce. Kind of small things to offend yourself.

But Hadrian's Luigi Chamber of Commerce was different. The big merchant from the south had to cut a **** path to buy the dark elf.

Hadrian would have spent at least a staggering sum.

"It will cost at least thousands of gold coins to buy that dark spirit. Is it worth it to buy me a good impression?" Ryan laughed.

"It's worth it! Because we all think Mr. Lane is worth the price!" The butler said casually.

Now Ryan really felt Hadrian's sincerity. After the displeasure and anger he had accumulated before were reversed, he began to feel good about Hadrian's intentions.

He knew that this might be Hadrian's elaborate game, hoping to win his attention. However, in this case, someone is willing to spend a lot of money just to buy a chance to make friends. This kind of implicit flattery is difficult for anyone to refuse.

"Well, where I live... when you deliver something in the afternoon, just tell the guards that it's for me, and they'll let you go, and... if you really want to deliver, call that one Milan. Da's girl can be delivered, but the other two don't need it anymore, too many people can't live in the house." Ryan finally nodded in the butler's ecstatic eyes.

There are only two servant rooms on the first floor. Although it can be squeezed, Ryan feels that Emilia needs to be given some private space. The quality of the three slaves is Miranda, so she is fine.

"And that dark spirit! We'll send it too!" the butler immediately added.

"Interesting, then I'll see how Mr. Hadrian does it."

…………

In the afternoon, No. 53 Amber Avenue.

"The early auction is really lively." Ryan changed into light clothes and sat by the warm fireplace and read a book. The early auction Ryan finally went back to witness the entire dark elves auction process, in Marienburg Under the frenzied containment of countless merchants and nobles, Hadrian bought the dark elf at a price that was nearly ten times higher than the starting price: "The transaction price of 12,000 gold marks is already the transaction price in recent years. The highest slave."

"It's a huge price!" Emilia changed into a maid outfit and sat opposite Ryan. The girl was going to continue working, but Ryan motioned for her to sit down and chat with him.

The improved maid outfit has a lot of decorations and patterns, and the length of the skirt has changed from the previous mopping to the current skirt about five centimeters below the knee, revealing the girl's beautiful calves in white stockings and black short boots.

"Is the multi-purpose room on the third floor ready?" Ryan then asked.

"Mr. Ryan is done." Emilia nodded.

"Are you used to living here?"

"Very comfortable, thank you Mr. Lane!"

It was snowing heavily outside the window, and the room was as warm as spring. Ryan and Emilia asked and answered questions. The girl could feel Ryan's concern and respect for her, thinking of her fear since she came to Marienburg and being under Ryan's protection. of peace and comfort, Emilia only thought it would be good for days like this to go on forever.

However, if I want to continue forever, don't I... Thinking of this, the little maid's face turns red again.

"Emilia, your name is my maid, but I have never regarded you as my maid, and regardless of your knowledge and knowledge of High Gothic, you are definitely not bad, I said. Right?" Ryan looked at Emilia with a smile: "Are you at least an elite beginner wanderer?"

"I'm an elite rogue advanced disguise master, Mr. Ryan." Emilia told the truth: "But please don't tell anyone."

"You always surprise me, Emilia, don't worry, you're just my maid..." Halfway through Ryan's words, there was a knock at the door, so he motioned Emilia to open the door .

After a short and hurried footsteps, Emilia secretly glanced outside, and then asked in a low voice, "Excuse me?"

"Hello! I'm Hadrian from Tyrell. I am very grateful to Mr. Ryan for giving me this opportunity. I have brought the gift for Mr. Ryan. Can I open the door?" At the door, a tall man The young man gently took off his hat, showing a very sincere attitude.

So the door opened.

A handsome tall man walked in. He was wearing a luxurious silk costume. Every detail of his body had been decorated enough. The overly gorgeous stacking on his body looked very incongruous, a strange dissonance. Sensational and ridiculous.

It can be seen from this that he is not a true aristocrat, because one generation can raise a nouveau riche, and only three generations can raise an aristocrat.

Obviously, this person is Hadrian.

"Hello! Mr. Hadrian!" Ryan stood up, with basic courtesy: "Good to meet you!"

Long ago, this merchant from the southern country first promised to send him the dark elf, and then he fought the entire Marienburg Commons with his own power, which left a deep impression on Ryan. Maybe in everyone's eyes, this product is a Totally stupid X, but Ryan, as the beneficiary, will not feel that way.

"It's a great honor to meet you! Mr. Ryan! I've heard your name for a long time! The championship showdown will defeat thousands of barbarians by one person, and expose the shady and kill the blood **** champion of the Aesthetic Society. I have always been your admirer. Thank you for giving me this meeting. opportunity." Hadrian hurriedly reached out and shook hands with Ryan.

"Ha~ When a businessman spends more than 10,000 gold marks to meet me, I have no reason to refuse his request to meet." Ryan's tone was a little sarcastic and incomprehensible, he motioned Hadrian to sit down, Emily Ya delivered two cups of hot milk for two people. As for the slaves sent by the merchant and his entourage, they were not so lucky. They stayed at the door of the mansion and waited in the heavy snow.

"Thank you." Hadrian sat gently opposite Ryan, holding hot milk in both hands, and said impatiently, "I just want to gain your friendship."

"Don't worry, I have nothing to do in the rare afternoon leisure time. You can speak slowly, and you don't have to keep stressing this." Ryan could see that this guy seemed to be very eager to clarify his plans, so he motioned to Hader. Don't worry, speak slowly.

"Thank you very much!" Hadrian was overjoyed to see that Ryan was in no hurry, the big businessman from the southern country paused, sorted out the language sequence, and then said with a wry smile: "I admit that I was indeed a little impulsive. , Mr Lane."

"You also know that you are impulsive? At that time, you were almost alone facing all the major chambers of commerce and businessmen in the Lower House and the House of Representatives. Everyone could see that you were bound to win the dark elf, so they were always behind. You are maliciously driving up the price, asking me to say, if it wasn't for you, the dark elf would have sold at most six thousand gold marks, and you spent twelve thousand gold marks." Ryan grinned, pulling the corner of his mouth: "You are too obvious. already."

"But I want to fight for that! Mr. Ryan, I want them to understand, let those arrogant and complacent guys know that they are businessmen in the south, and they have the wealth and strength not to lose to them!" Hadrian said angrily. , it can be seen that he has accumulated a lot of resentment and anger.

After chatting for a while, Ryan gradually understood why this businessman from the southern kingdom suddenly made a crazy bid with him, and then spent several times the price to buy a dark elf as a favor for himself, Hadrian's behavior Originally, it must be said that it was a brain-damaged behavior. It was 12,000 gold coins, which was an astonishing amount of money. In Marienburg, there are not many businessmen who can take out this money in one go.

Even if you want to make friends with Ryan, you shouldn't use this extreme way. If Ryan is a grumpy old man, he might block him first. This method is a gamble, and it's too stupid.

But Hadrian was fighting this breath, he had been suppressed for too long and too deeply since he came to Marienburg.

The southern country's super-merchants have had a lot of trouble since coming to Marienburg.

He has never been able to integrate into the mainstream society, and he has never been treated equally. Because he is from the southern country, the merchants and nobles of Marienburg have always regarded him as a monkey, and a few transactions are wasted without money and money. , business objects are making things difficult for him, the guilds are passive and sabotage all day long and continue to ask him to increase welfare, almost everyone regards him as a big fool.

Moreover, the arrogance and contempt between the nobles' words are always clear, and many businessmen don't even bother to call him by his name, just like a southerner.

The caravan was repeatedly attacked, and the attitude of the defenders was poor.

Hadrian had had enough, he knew what he had to do.

"Uh... So you spent more than 12,000 gold marks to complain to me about the injustice you suffered? Well... I'm going to say that I'm not a good listener." After all the words came out, Ryan couldn't laugh or cry. He is indeed very famous in Marienburg, but if he can help Hadrian open up the situation, let's forget it. People give face because of Ryan's strength, but that's only for him For myself.

Hadrian really thought that if he had a relationship with himself, he could integrate into the high society of Marienburg?

"It's not about this, Mr. Ryan, I'm here to ask for your help!" Hadrian took out a roll of parchment from his space ring: "Mr. Ryan, look, this was a few days ago, I Purchased a lode located deep in the deep mines of Marienburg."

"Yeah~ I'll take a look." Ryan took the parchment, and he found that the mine was far away from the city of Marienburg, about 15 kilometers: "What happened?"

"This is a mithril vein. I bought it and mined it at a high price. But when I sent someone to mine it, I didn't know there was a problem." Hadrian said with a blue face: "Since I sent someone to mine it. After I started mining this vein, miners went missing, went mad, and apparently it was a faulty vein, and I was deceived again."

"Well, obviously you need to organize patrols and guards. There must be a problem in the mine." Ryan nodded and gave a basic judgment.

"I did this, but it didn't work, because... the patrols and the guards didn't encounter any monsters." Hadrian shook his head in distress, and his beautifully combed mustache seemed to bend even more: "The patrols ... only found some small animals, which even miners can easily deal with."

"Oh? Then what?" Ryan thought, wasn't it a monster or a robber or a malicious harasser?

"But the situation of the miners is getting worse. Many miners go crazy or talk nonsense~www.wuxiamtl.com~ No one can hear what they are talking about. Some of the miners have changed their bodies. I have tried many methods, but It's useless." Hadrian finally said: "So, I thought of you, Mr. Lane, please help me!"

"So what can I get?" Ryan nodded, as if he wanted to say things seriously.

"If Mr. Ryan can help me solve the problem of this mithril vein, I will transfer 80% of the ownership of this vein to you!" Hadrian offered a shocking price, and Ryan grew his mouth wide.

Ryan has seen that the value of this mithril vein is at least 30,000 gold marks, and 80% of the ownership is 24,000 gold marks, and the cost of deduction is close to 20,000 gold marks!

What did Hadrian want to do?

"I just want to fight for this! I just want to tell everyone! The merchants in the southern kingdom are not inferior to the empire! Money is not valuable, and what is really valuable is what money can't buy!" Hadrian gritted his teeth, his face Full of emotional blush, he clenched his fists: "We can make the major churches just, Mr. Ryan, are you willing to help me?!"

Ryan thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Then I'll be happy to help you with this."

"Great!" Hadrian cheered, suddenly realizing something, and shouting outside.

"Bring Mr. Lane's gift now!"

Then, at the servant's answer and Emilia's good eyes, something was pulled in. They were the lovely daughter of the bankrupt knight, Miranda, and the tall, waist-length black hair and Wheat-skinned...dark elf.

Beauty... Really beautiful, even though he had seen the face of this dark elf before, Ryan couldn't stop his astonishing gaze.

She looks so beautiful.
