Chapter 143: Strong Desire for Knowledge



Chapter 143: Strong Desire for Knowledge

The real thing is in my castle. After all, it's a valuable item. If you agree to the cooperation, then come to the Flower Town. Liszt didn't trust the Wizard.

He didn't have enough power himself. By relying only on the name of the Tulip Family, he might not be able to suppress the other.

In case the other ran away with the black pearl, there would be no way to find him.

Glanny shook his head. Do you think it's that easy to forge a magic equipment? If your black pearl is really big enough and good enough, then you will still need more materials to forge it into a suitable magic equipment In a rural place like the Flower Town, you can't even purchase the base materials!

I have 2 caravans and can bring back any materials that you need in time. Liszt didn't care that people looked down on the Flower Town. The tiger in him had a peace of mind naturally cut above others, Besides, Mr. Glanny, don't you want to know what I'm willing to pay?

Oh, how much are you willing to pay?

How much did Levis pay for you forge the black pearl magic equipment Tell me the real number, as I can always go ask Mr. Frank.

Well, aristocrats are so cunning that it's impossible to fool you. Viscount Levis paid me 3 gold coins, which was the labor fee, and he provided me the base materials. However, his black pearl was only so big. Your black pearl is bigger. Naturally, it won't be that cheap

In fact, I don't have gold coins.

You don't have gold coins? Glanny glared, Baron Liszt, are you kidding me?

Liszt said faintly: But I have black pearls, don't I?

Glanny's eyes lit up rapidly: Oh, are you going to pay me with this black pearl?

You're overthinking it. Do you know how much a black pearl is worth? This black pearl is worth at least 200 gold coins. With so many gold coins, I can ask a Great Wizard to help me forge the magic equipment. Liszt turned the black pearl in his hand, Of course, if you want to earn it, that's not too difficult.

The black pearl had clearly its grip on Glanny. He licked his lips, saying: Say what you want.

First, help me forge a magic equipment capable of suppressing storms, and you are to provide the base materials. Second, teach me magic and provide me with knowledge and books. Third, I have several crystals; help me forge them into crystal lamps. The change, the rest of the value of this black pearl, is my support for you to explore the truth.

For Liszt, black pearls weren't worth much themselves. On the Coral Island, except perhaps Levis, no one would be willing to be a spendthrift and buy them.

You want to learn magic? Glanny was a little surprised, That's unlike you aristocrats. Besides, magic and qi repel each other. You want to renounce your aristocratic ident.i.ty and become a Wizard?

Qi was magic power refined from within. Magic was magic power extracted from the outside world.

Although both were magic power, but when cultivated, they would repel each other. It wasn't that aristocrats didn't care about magic, but that it was difficult to succeed. Magic required you to keep your mind rational and clear at all times. Qi, on the other hand, required you to be able to become hotblooded. Practicing magic and martial dual cultivation would lead to a split personality.

Liszt replied: I just want to understand how magic works.

As a scientific-literate person from thew 21st century, he naturally had a strong desire for knowledge of this world filled with magic power. He already came into contact with qi cultivation and had fairly profound understanding of qi. However, he knew nothing about magic.

He wanted to get close to a Wizard and get an understanding of magic.

The development of his territory was right on track and he had some self-protection ability; he could finally pursue his desire to learn more about the outside world.

It seems that you are an aristocrat with great curiosity. Then, I accept this black pearl. Glanny thought for a brief moment and agreed.

I hope that you will enjoy your stay in Flower Town. Oh, by the way, I already prepared a house for you to reside in the Flower Town. You can transport the materials and equipment you need to the Flower Town through the Flower Caravan.

I won't be staying in the countryside for too long. I'll return after forging the magic equipment and teaching you some things about magic. The Moss Town is only a quarter of an hour away from the Coral City, and the prosperous city holds a great attraction. He went to the window and looked in the direction of the distant Coral City.

In his view, the city filled with feces was a symbol of prosperity.

From the corner of his eyes, he saw a group of people as well as the huge Tremblingwoods waiting outside his house: Is that your pet? A magic beast Violent Dog? Why is it so big? As far as I remember, Violent Dogs don't get this big.

It's because it eats well.

The Wizard Glanny Truth needed time to prepare before he could hurry to the Flower Town, so Liszt took his people back first.

Meanwhile, the Coral City, in a 2-story-tall house with a garden near the Tulip Castle, Frank had just finished his nap. He went to the living room downstairs and sat down in a chair.

A servant immediately brought tea.

He was an aristocrat, a chevalier, with his own fief, which was a small village. Compared with a bankrupt, dest.i.tute aristocrat like Gort, his fief was still well-off, netting him close to 10 gold coins each year. Coupled with his salary as Levis' household teacher, he led a good life.

Have the madam and young lady returned from their walk to the sea of flowers, yet?

They did. They are currently in the garden enjoying the shade.

After a while, his wife and daughter returned to the house.

Frank, you're awake? Asked a middle-aged women wearing a fashionable skirt. Despite the heavy makeup, she still couldn't conceal the fact that she was getting on in years, Are you going to the Tulip Castle in the afternoon to work? Sulli wants you to take her back to the manor, her clothes were left in a cabinet.

Frank looked at his daughter: I remember that you brought a lot of clothes. Plus the clothes that you purchased on the Iron Hoof Island, isn't that enough?

But I forgot to bring a black dress. I like it very much, father. Sulli swayed her thin waist.

Have a servant go back and get it. I don't have time, dear. Frank spread his hands and explained to his daughter and wife, Levis is still on the battlefield, so I have to manage his estates. Also, the count gave him partial authority over the Coral Island, and I have to manage that as well.

I know that it's a good opportunity for you to showcase your capability. However, I hope that you can take some time to show more care for Sulli. She's already 15 years old, after all.

15 years old meant that she was at the sociable age.

An aristocratic girl should marry at the age of 16 or 17.

Frank looked at his increasingly beautiful daughter, feeling quite gratified: Of course I know. Sulli is already a big girl. In fact, this morning, I was thinking about her situation. On the Coral Island, there aren't many aristocrats suitable for Sully. I hope that she can have a blissful life.

His wife became interested immediately: Whom do you have in mind?

Sulli also looked at her father expectantly. As an aristocratic lady, socializing was a skill she had to learn. There was no need to shy away when talking about marriage.

In the Ox Horn College, how to choose a suitable aristocrat and get married was part of the program.
