All the aristocrats of Alinkx know one thing: the synonym for the Bolaite family coat of arms is poor acid.

Yes, the average aristocracy represents affluence and luxury, but the Bolaite family, on the contrary, adheres to the admonitions of the Holy See, and does not do any profitable business except to maintain the necessary livelihood of the family.

Mocking the poor acid of the Grand Duke is also one of the secret jokes of the nobles.

But there is one thing that all those in the know envy Adrien.

That is, he has a terrible lover.

Vanessa Melka, born into a commoner family in the Kingdom of Grayson, showed an amazing talent for magic since childhood, and was discovered by traveling magicians and brought back to the Silver City to study magic at the Academy of Arcane Magic.

Later, during an apprenticeship, young Vanessa was put in danger.

At that time, Adrien fell in love (Obury's pot), and then gave up on himself and married Erica, a commoner girl he had known for a long time, which led to a lot of rumors in aristocratic circles. This made him very depressed, so he ran out for a walk, and ended up saving Vanessa - yes, the vulgar hero saving the beauty plot - and the flowers in the greenhouse fell.

Adrien's attitude towards Vanessa was also ambivalent, he did like her in his heart, however, due to the fact that he was already married to Erica, coupled with the Bolaite family's insistence on the papal admonition to enforce the commandment of monogamy, and Vanessa's reluctance to be a concubine, the two were at a stalemate for several years.

Later, Vanessa came to look for him at home, but the two got drunk, and something happy happened. He was also bumped into by Erica.

Vanessa was reluctant to face Erica, so she fled back to the Silver City to practice magic, but was irritated. Instead, her magical skills improved dramatically, attracting Jean's attention - and she became a disciple of Jean the Lord of the Stars and Moons, and obtained the status of a member of the Arcane Society of the Towers of the Stars and Moons.

Adrien has been distressed for many years because of this, but he still doesn't know that what happened between him and Vanessa that day was actually secretly promoted behind his back by Erica, who had long noticed his mood.

Erica, who was born in a commoner, has always had low self-esteem, so she doesn't really have a problem with what happened to Adrien and Vanessa. She is already very happy to be able to marry her crush Adrian, so she wants to help Adrien. also helped Vanessa, but I didn't expect Vanessa to run away directly after waking up.

So far, Erica has not dared to confess this matter to Adrien.

If this is a female novel, whether it is Elsa or Vanessa, it is a proper heroine template. It's a pity now......

"Wait a minute, you're seeing him as an emissary of the Silver City. So the attitude must be stronger. ”

"Hmm."

“…… Strong! You're not at all strong now! ”

Adrien looked at Vanessa with affection, and had a little headache, this is like an extraordinary powerhouse!

Aubury also had a headache, and they invited Vanessa over not to see her show affection with Adrien.

Now the plan has reached a critical moment, whether it succeeds or not, it depends on whether Vanessa can bluff Frank.

Once Frank succumbs, then the Mana Crystal Mine is at your fingertips.

Once Frank refuses to give in. Then the current stalemate will continue - unless the net is broken!

In Donn's analysis, the market for magic crystals is large. But the Cadir family's income is not a large percentage of profits, and with a few temporary policies and implicit threats, Frank should have decided to abandon the mine and turn it into a fortune - because Frank could not have predicted the impending change in the face of information asymmetry.

Victor has a lot of confidence in Donne.

But if he saw Vanessa now, he probably had lost his confidence.

Vanessa...... ＂

"Call Me Winnie......"

"Well, Winnie......"

Adrien's face was full of confusion, and Victor and Obery sold him for profit, and after calling Vanessa over without him, they told him the plan in order to sell his flesh......

"Honey~"

Hearing Adrien call her nickname, Vanessa's whole body softened, and she held his arm next to him and refused to leave.

"Ahem!"

Obery coughed lightly and gave Adrien a warning with his eyes.

"Winnie, do you remember what I told you?"

"Of course I do."

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

Vanessa smiled brightly: "Well, don't worry, for the sake of our future, I will definitely complete the task!" ”

For our future?

What the hell is this?

Confused, Adrien looked at Orbury.

Hell yes! What conditions did these two guys promise me without telling me!?

Obury looked out the window and haha, "Hmm...... It's been a nice day......"

For some reason, Adrien shuddered.

A sense of foreboding......

The Kadir family.

"Venerable—Member of the Mystic Society of the Tower of the Stars and Moon—Emissary from the Silver City—Honorary Magical Advisor to the Royal Empire of Illuth—Wizard Vanessa Merca, please see you."

Hearing the list of names reported by the butler, Frank couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the thick incense turned into a swirl that burrowed into his lungs and stimulated his brain.

The worst fears have happened.

Frank can avoid the saturation of the market caused by the concentrated sell-off of the merchants by reducing the production of the mines, or even temporarily suspend production to circumvent the temporary regulations, and then force him to cancel the new policy through the Council of Nobles and Victor.

But he couldn't avoid the visitors of the Silver City.

The biggest market for magic crystals is the Silver City.

The giant city on the floating island, built by magicians using magic, is the greatest miracle in the entire world of Plandall, born in the hands of humans.

Under the strong appeal of the Lord of the Stars and Moons, almost all the magicians belong to the Silver City, and only the elite among them are eligible to join the Secret Law Society of the Tower of the Stars and Moons, which is not only an honor, but also a symbol of strength.

If the child can be favored by the traveling magicians, be brought back to the Silver City, and join the Star and Moon Secret Law Academy there, no matter whether the talent is good or bad after that, it can basically ensure that the family will soar to the sky, and it will not be weaker than those ordinary nobles at all.

This method of enrollment is also the most common phenomenon in Silver City.

As a result, the Silver City has a high reputation among the people, and they are happy to send children to the Silver City if they discover that they have magical talents.

In the process of growing and learning, these children need to consume a large amount of magic crystals - this is almost one of the main uses of magic crystals.

Therefore, once offended the Silver City, the Kadir family's magic crystal industry would collapse in an instant.

So, why is Frank so entangled?

Because...... The entire upper echelons of the empire know about this bit of about Vanessa and Adrien!

Knowing that this woman was sent by the royal family to disgust herself, she had to receive her with a smiling face, what could be more disgusting?

Even if you know that she is Adrian's old lover, you have to see her, not only to see her, but also to meet with a smiling face!

Because, Frank knows that Vanessa is really a member of the Esoteric Society of the Tower of the Stars and Moons, and not only that, but as a genius magician, she is also one of the disciples of the Lord of Jean and the Stars.

Even if she is a waste, the identity of Jean's disciple alone is enough to scare many people.

Frank took a deep breath and stood up, "I'm going to greet you!" ”

At the door, in the carriage.

Obery muttered, "Will he come out to greet him?" ”

"It's better not to come out."

Adrien pouted: "Just enough to give Winnie an excuse to attack." ”

Vanessa slapped him in disgust: "I hate it, people are not the kind of unreasonable people." ”

Are you still reasonable?

Adrien secretly scolded himself, if you were reasonable, you wouldn't have to let Erica give way as a concubine.

"But your plan is too troublesome."

Vanessa glanced at the Kadir family's manor, pouted and said, "It's easy for me to deal with this kind of guy, I'll just kill them." ”

"Don't ......"

Aubury and Adrien immediately broke out in a sweat, how could this guy become more and more violent after learning from Jean over the years......

Vanessa, who has a basically zero political IQ, asks rhetorically, "Why?" ”

"For many complicated reasons, in short, because the involvement is too deep, you can't deal with this kind of enemy directly - do you think Obury doesn't want to simply draw his sword and cut people?"

Vanessa stared at Aubury for a moment and nodded, "Oh, got it." ”

"Wait! You understand what! ”

Obery was furious: "What do you mean by those sympathetic eyes!? Believe it or not? Lao Tzu really turned his face!? ”

"No, really no sympathy."

Vanessa said very seriously, "Believe me, magicians are honest. ”

"There's a bastard who is a wild mage," Obery sneered, "but honesty has nothing to do with him, and he has deceived my granddaughter all over the place—and the simple fool can't see how cunning the bastard is." ”

"You said it, he's a wild mage."

Vanessa said casually, "Of course it won't be the same as someone like me. ”

"Damn, I always feel like you magicians are showing off something, intentionally or unintentionally...... When Lao Tzu touches that realm, Lao Tzu will also play magic! ”

Obery's face was full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

At this time, the sound of the gate opening was heard outside, and even the drumbeat of the honor guard sounded, and the rhythm of the national anthem of the Illus Empire was played.

"Oh?"

Adrien saw Frank in formal wear and raised his eyebrows: "It seems that Frank doesn't want to give us a chance to turn his face." ”

"Really?"

Vanessa smiled sweetly, "Leave it to me, honey." (To be continued.) )
