Chapter 121 Donald's invitation
After leaving the Shanjin Town, Donald and the other two went northwest, neither fast nor slow. When they met a larger town along the way, they would stay for at least one night. After a few days, they would torture the silver assassin who was following behind them completely torture.
However, Poison Stinger was not the kind of person who gave up easily. He held his breath in his heart. No matter how hard or tired he was, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Fortunately, seeing the capital of the northwest province, the base camp of Marquis Ansel, and the Bauhinia City, was already in sight, so Donald and the other two did not delay and came directly to Bauhinia City.
Just look at the Marquis' Mansion in the city, you will know that Ansel is a well-known family that has been passed down for thousands of years. The mansion is built with a magnificent momentum but does not appear to be ostentatious. Passersby will consciously express respect to the Marquis' Mansion when passing here, and no one is making loud noises or mocking them nearby.
Seeing that there was a guard in front of the mansion, Donald ordered Kelthas to come forward and hand over the letter of worship.
There is no such difficult scene as in the novel where people are looking down on others. Even the servants and guards of the Ansel family seem solemn and grand. After receiving the visit, one of them meticulously went in to report.
Soon, Ferdinand, dressed in a simple swordsman outfit, greeted him with a housekeeper.
"Donald, you are here. Welcome to Bauhinia City. You have to stay for a while this time. I'll take you to have fun in the city!"
Donald smiled and hugged Ferdinand, and introduced him to his teacher and Kelthus.
"Master Messel, welcome to the Ansel family. My mother will be very happy if she knows that you are here!"
Messel also responded with a smile. He had some friendship with the marquis. Although he was in the territory of the kingdom and had never met several times, both sides were real mages. Unlike some of the fallen mages who were corrupted by power in the mage association, they were quite sympathetic to each other.
"I haven't seen you for a month, you are very good at your strength!" Donald said with a look at him.
Ferdinand smiled bitterly, and while walking with Donald, he said, "You don't know, after his father learned about your plan, he began to strictly supervise me to practice. He said that if he didn't reach the bronze level, he would not allow me to participate in the action."
"How can I miss such an interesting thing? So even if I'm tired, I will persevere. Maybe I'll be lucky than you all, and I'll make a big discovery there!"
"Mr. Marquis is also thinking about you. If you are below silver, it is really dangerous to enter that dangerous place. Time waits for no one. If I were not an advanced bronze mage, I would not have planned to start the action so soon!"
Ferdinand said with some jealousy after hearing this: "I really don't know what you grew up with, and you became a bronze wizard silently. If it weren't for the improvement of this month's cultivation, you would probably surpass me in a few months!"
"The mage's cultivation is different from that of a swordsman. You have a family heritage and a teaching of the Golden Sword Saint Ear. If you still have to complain, then those swordsmen outside who have worked hard to break through the bronze in their entire lives will all be killed by killing them?"
As soon as Donald finished speaking, he heard a low and majestic voice coming from inside, saying, "Barl Melina is right. You were born in the Marquis' Mansion, but you didn't know the sufferings of the people. It seems that you need to exercise more! Look at Baron Melina, who has not relied on anyone, has grown to this point, and can be called the most nobleman in the younger generation of the Kingdom!"
As he said that, Marquis Ansel, who looked like a middle-aged swordsman, walked out of the hall.
Ferdinand suddenly felt bitter when he heard this. His father has always been a good teacher and likes to train some talented young people. Many officers in the Holy Sword Legion have taken the guidance of this sword saint. Although Marquis Ansel never treats mercy during training, it will definitely make you suffer a lot, the swordsmen are flocking to them like masochists.
Especially for Ferdinand, the son, who is called to lay a solid foundation for future family heirs, but in fact, he often has some bad taste and likes to tease others the most, as if he, the father, will be in a good mood when he looks depressed or embarrassed.
Although there will be no major harm, it will be some irrelevant pain, but this is how it makes Ferdinand unbearable.
However, the Marquis' training is indeed very effective regardless of the process. So far, among those who have received Vincent's training, the lowest strength has been promoted to the bronze level. The old silver powerhouses in the Holy Sword Legion are basically his disciples.
After Marquis Ansel, Vincent, came out, greeted Messel first. After all, with the status of Messel's alchemist and the first mage of the North County, even the powerful golden man would not neglect.
Then it was Donald's turn to pay a visit.
"I've seen Lord Marquis!"
Vincent Ansel smiled and said intimately: "Don't be so arrogant. Just call me uncle. I will call you Donald like Ferdinand!"
Marquis Ansel also loves the house and U.S., and he recognizes Donald's strength, he also admires him very much, so the more he sees him, the more he likes him.
"Sorry, Edwina is preparing a piece of equipment behind her, so she can't come out to greet you. Please rest in it, just treat it as your own home and don't see you!"
After saying that, the marquis personally led Donald and others into the hall, and then ordered the butler to organize three rooms and prepare for lunch.
No one present is anxious and reckless, so they are not in a hurry to talk about serious matters. After some exchange, everyone has gained some understanding and appreciation of each other. This is how people who are in love often have friendships.
Especially Marquis Ansel, as the Golden Sword Saint, has no airs at all, just like an uncle next door. Every word makes people feel comfortable.
Only the powerful gold can restrain his momentum so thoroughly. This Storm Sword Saint has been promoted to gold for more than ten years. Naturally, his mastery of his own strength will not be as clumsy as before. For him, he has become a habit of eating and drinking water.
After a warm and rich little luncheon, the Queen of Ansel, His Highness, Princess of the Kingdom, and Ferdinand's mother finally appeared.
After seeing Messel, the silver mage was immediately shocked by his strength. Although he had heard of the news that four silver mages suddenly came out of Beijun, Messel had actually crossed two small realms and was directly promoted to the high level of silver, which really surprised the marquis.
The two sides gathered together and then began to discuss the main business.
Donald also gave the evidence about the remains of the Great Arcane Lord to the Marquis' family.
After confirming the joint action and the division of interests, the Ansel family still needs to make some preparations, but since they have arrived in Bauhinia City, it will be only one or two days before Donald talked about their deal with Ferdinand.
"You want some magic metal this time?"
When Ferdinand heard that he had changed the transaction conditions, he couldn't make the decision, so he went to find his mother.
After Edwina came, she said simply: "Most magic metals are the rarest spell materials. What you want must be exchanged for items of the same value!"
"Madam, please rest assured, my stuff will surely satisfy you!"
Edwina nodded. The treasure house of the Ansel family has always been kept by Edwina, and she herself has many collections of people, so she simply took Donald to the yard where her daily practice experiments were located behind the Marquis' Mansion.
After removing several defensive spells from the door, Donald was invited to enter his collection room.
Donald saw the small pile of metal placed on the center shelf at first sight, and his face was filled with joy.
"Do you like these pure gold? This is one of my most expensive collections. I wonder what you'll use to exchange for it?"
Donald did not answer immediately, but glanced at the collection in the secret room, and then took out two things in a clear mind.
As soon as Edwina saw the items that Donald took out, she said in surprise: "You little guy has a lot of good things, you have changed!"
Holding the two kinds of magic gold in his hand, Edwina sighed: "If the family had not mastered a small fine gold vein, I wouldn't have such fine gold here. I really don't know how you little guy got these mitr silver and blue pattern gold. Now I'll have all three great magic gold!"
The magic metals that can be called together with the essence of gold in the main material world are only mitrils and blue-patterned magic gold. They are generally called the three great magic gold by later mages. Blue-patterned gold is one of the best magic storage substances. Mitsunian has the best magic conduction, while fine gold can maximize the power of magic. The same fine gold is still a material for creating top-level weapons. It is not that there are no better materials, but that those more rare ones basically appear in the ectopic and outer interfaces.
After exchanging two pieces of mitral and two pieces of blue-patterned magic gold for the same volume of pure gold, he looked at the other collections in the secret room, which were not something he urgently needed, so Donald took out a batch of potions and two pieces of equipment, and exchanged for a small piece of pure gold.
So far, both parties are very satisfied with the transaction, and they can be said to be the ones who need it.
Donald didn't expect that he would gain such a reward during this trip to the Ansel family. With this batch of pure gold, his plan to mint magic coins can be implemented in advance.
This time, Donald and Ansel family discussed cooperation matters. In addition to worrying about his lack of strength, he was also afraid that after the matter was leaked, his side would become the target of public criticism.
The value of the ruins of the ancient great arcane lord, the mages of the Kingdom Mage Association should know the best. If such a giant targeted him, not to mention that his teacher is only a high-level silver level now, even if the teacher advances to gold, there are at least five powerful gold masters, and I am afraid that they will not be able to stop those greedy mages.
The line of pulling up the Ansel family is different. It is naturally best to divide the interests and keep the secrets. If the news is inevitable, then the Ansel family can be put forward. Even a powerful organization like the Mage Association will not dare to have any bad ideas about this ancient family.
Donald aims to use the large ship Ansel to resist the possible storms in the future.
Otherwise, no matter how much you have hidden in the ruins, you will definitely be able to eat them with the help of the Book of Truth. Why should you join forces with the Anser family?
This is also the reason why Donald was not blinded by greed.
No matter how good the arcane's legacy is, it does not have the importance of his own foundation. With the book of truth in hand, that is the foundation for his foothold in this world. Other things are just icing on the scene...
