Chapter 585: Persuasion (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription)
Hearing this, Scarlett didn't react, just looked at Solam.
She didn't care about Melotti's offense, she only cared about Solam's opinion. And if you really have to think about it, Meloti's identity is the same thing in front of Scarlett, but her teacher is qualified to talk to Scarlett on an equal footing.
The voters of Ben Saba ask you if you are a dick or not!
However, Scarlett has no intention of revealing her identity, otherwise she would not have been hiding in Ascatra for so many years.
Solam frowned and looked at Meloti, and finally said to Scarlett, "Miss Scarlett, then I'll trouble you, Trism!" Take Miss Scarlett to her room and take a rest. ”
Scarlett didn't care about Meloti, but she still cared about Soram's words. Not to mention that the opportunity for her to lift the curse fell on Soram, even if Ben Saba valued him, it was impossible for Scarlett to offend Soram.
She is not a fool, although she doesn't know what Soram deserves Ben Saba's attention, you can know from the fact that Ben Saba will deliberately use her body to meet Soram, you can know how much Ben Saba values Solam.
She has been a voter for so many years, Ben Saba has never communicated with her, and this forced use of her arrival can explain a lot of problems, and Ben Saba also made it clear to her that Solam is her opportunity to lift the curse.
Ben Saba is not a generous deity, the reason why she would say this, Scarlett can also guess seventy, seven, eight, eight
As for why, Scarlett doesn't know and doesn't really want to explore.
So after Soram spoke, Scarlett nodded to Soram obediently and followed Trism out of the room.
"Okay, Scarlett is gone, what the hell are you going to say to me?"
Seeing that Scarlett had left, Solam didn't have much patience to go around in circles with them, and directly asked Meloti to talk about her thoughts and see how they could convince themselves.
Seeing Soram sitting on the chair with a big grin, just looking at herself condescendingly, Meloti was really stunned. Meloti wasn't native to Askatra, not even Am, she was from the Northlands, and it was a surprise that she was able to be a disciple of a legendary mage in the first place.
So she is very unaccustomed to the attitude of the Ammen towards mages, and the most unacceptable thing for her is that Solam's identity is really to talk about it, but he is just a local tyrant, but such a local tyrant can look at her so condescendingly.
If you leave it somewhere else, give those local tyrants ten dares, see if they dare to speak to a high-level mage like this!
However, the situation is stronger than people, and she also knows that this is Am's characteristic, not to mention her, even her teacher is powerless to change the situation. In addition, Solam's own strength is enough to become his confidence, so Meloti quickly adjusted her mentality.
He said respectfully: "Lord Solam, I have heard the reason you gave Borken, and what you said is very reasonable, but I have to say that you missed a little. ”
"Missed a little? Which point? ”
"That's what we're doing for your business, and it's good for you!"
When Soram heard this, he didn't answer, but looked at Meloti and asked her to continue. Merotti didn't care about this, but continued, "You think that we masked mages can't interfere with mundane things, so you refused us. ”
Soram still didn't speak, but his expression was already obvious, and that was it.
"But you know, almost all the big chambers of commerce and big nobles will find ways to get involved with our Masked Mage Guild. The city of Ascatra is not a city in the ordinary sense of the word. In the hidden corners of this place, countless secrets are hidden. I can tell you for sure that the city is not only full of powerful and dangerous creatures, but also quite diverse. ”
This city is definitely not ordinary, the history of this city is so old that it can be regarded as one of the first cities built by man, and it has not been destroyed and rebuilt many times.
For such a long time, the city does not know how many secrets have been buried. Beneath the city, there are many secret realms, some of which are ancient and dilapidated city ruins, some of which are ancient graveyards buried deep underground, and some of which are simply nests built by evil creatures.
Beneath the city, there are a huge number of mind flayers, eye demons, lichs, vampires, and even undead creatures like lichs whose names have been forgotten.
Thankfully, there was a masked mage on his head, otherwise these monsters could have destroyed most of the city with just one kind of escape. In short, a city built on a volcano.
It has to be said that the Council of Six, which rules Am, is quite far-sighted.
They leave all magical matters to the Masked Mage Guild, while the gang management is left to the Shadow Thieves, leaving it to the administrative and diplomatic matters themselves. This not only greatly reduced the number of officials, but also handed over two major troubles to the most professional people.
You must know that whether it is a powerful spellcaster or a headache for the thieves' guild, it is a problem that plagues all city managers.
The former is incredibly destructive, while the latter is hidden in every corner and is simply impossible to eradicate. But Amm handled both of these problems very well, and over the years it was rare to hear of people casting spells or engaging in large-scale gangster fights.
And these facts are not something that ordinary people can touch, only some long-established families can understand the truth of some things, so those big merchants and big nobles will seek the personal protection of masked mages, they don't want to be targeted by some ancient evil, and then die an unknown death.
Of course, the danger is not only from the evil creatures, you know, sometimes humans are much more evil than the evil creatures. This is a money city, and there are many intrigues and intrigues here every day because of money disputes, some of which are also linked to supernatural abilities.
Therefore, many masked mages will give some nobles and wealthy merchants as private magic consultants, which is also a means for masked mages to collect money in private. Not to mention others, even Meloti herself is also working as a personal spell advisor to others.
But now Meloti doesn't want to give people a magic consultant, there is no other reason, it is because the money is too small, in Ascatatra, giving someone a magic consultant, the maximum is only tens of thousands of gold coins a year.
Tens of thousands of gold coins are definitely a huge amount of money for ordinary people, but for them high-level mages, it is just a drop in the bucket, to the point where they can buy a scroll that is tens of thousands, and other magical knowledge is even more expensive to vomit blood, which is not enough to spend.
She is a very assertive person, her current situation is not something that can be solved by a drop in the bucket, if she wants to go further on the path of a mage, she must have money, even if she is a disciple of a legendary mage, she uses money to buy magic knowledge and various magic materials.
(The master-apprentice relationship between teachers is generally very indifferent, unlike the traditional master-apprentice relationship in the East, which emphasizes one day as a teacher and a father for life)
So, together with the others, she swallowed the scrolls.
Borken later sold the scrolls to Solam. She knew that the 2 million was a huge amount of money, and everyone could get 400,000 for one cent.
That's a lot, but the question is, if you can get 400,000 this time, what about next time? So after seeing the opportunity on Solam's side, she immediately ran over to talk to Soram about cooperation. She hopes to get a long-term source of profit so that she can continue to support her mage path.
"You mean, you're partnering with us, and you're giving me a magic advisor?" The first thing Soram felt when he heard this was that he wanted to laugh! It's not that he looks down on them, he needs a spell advisor?
Not to mention the others, Viorette alone can completely crush this group of masked mages.
"Yes, if you want to do business in Askatra, you will definitely encounter troubles of one kind or another, including some spell troubles! That's why you need us! ”
In business, it is inevitable to encounter vicious competition, and from this point of view, Meloti has indeed seized a good entry point. However, Soram scoffed at this, he didn't believe that he would be afraid of those inexplicable spell attacks.
Meloti saw that Soram was still unimpressed, and she was a little anxious, so she continued to say: "Even if you are not afraid, what about your subordinates?" Can you keep an eye on all your subordinates? You know, if someone wants to sabotage your business, they don't need to deal with you at all. ”
This made Soram stunned, he really hadn't thought about it. He has always been a grassroots thinker, thinking that others are going to deal with him, of course, for him.
Now, after a reminder from her, Solam suddenly felt that this was not impossible. However, seeing that there were only five of them, Soram was a little skeptical that they could guarantee the safety of his men.
"Can you guarantee that after you partner with me, this kind of thing will not come to my men?"
"I can't guarantee that no one can give a precise definition of the future. However, I can guarantee that as long as you cooperate with us, the chances of the caster coming to you will be minimized! Anyway, I'm also a disciple of a legendary mage, and I still have this face. ”
Although the master-apprentice relationship between mages is not as close as that of other professions, no matter how much there is such a master-apprentice status, as long as it is not that kind of outlaw, no one will deliberately target the disciples of legendary mages.
Hearing this, Soram thought about it for a while, he thought that he really wouldn't always stay in Askatra, so the business here really needs someone to help take care of it, Soram thought too simple before, he just thought that doing business is doing business, and he didn't think so much.
He had thought that it would be enough to keep Nazaire's father and daughter, but now it seemed that it should not be enough, and he had forgotten to consider human greed, and how attractive the spice business was, and it was strange that those people did not covet it.
Nazel and Durham have no problem dealing with ordinary thieves, but when it comes to encountering spellcasters, Soram really can't think of how they can fight them. Know that spellcasters aren't just going head-to-head.
Solam likes to be straight because of his personality and is not interested in spells like curses. But that doesn't mean that other spellcasters think the same way as Soram. Thinking of this, Soram felt that it was time to reconsider the personnel stationed in Askatra.
