"Elfie, you said you had found out about the whereabouts of the Suppressor Stone?" asked Sean with a yawn. At this time, the four of them had already left the black market and were on their way back to the Academy of Magic in the rising sun.
"Well, there will be an auction on the black market on the night of the New Year's celebration, and among the items auctioned will be the Killian, and it will be time to test the Richelieu family's financial strength. Alfie said to Kirian without looking back, he really couldn't face the resentful look that Kirian threw at him after he was disturbed from his dream.
"This seems to be a test for you and Tyrol by Master Nat, what does it have to do with me, why did you ask me to pay?" asked Killian angrily.
"Killian, we're roommates in the same dormitory, aren't we both good and bad?If Tyrol and I can pass the test of Master Nat, won't we get less benefits than you and Shaun?If we fail, you won't be blushing?" Alfie said bitterly.
"That's not enough to impress me. When it came to the interests of the family, Killian became extremely shrewd, "You know that the Richelieu family is not in my hands now, and the funds I can directly call on are extremely limited. If you want to talk about the old stubborn money, you have to come up with real money in exchange. ”
"I wonder what the Prime Minister likes more?" Alfie cheekily asked, and it was a bit unreasonable to ask Killian directly about his father's preferences, but Alfie didn't have a better channel at the moment.
If Alfie could go to the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he might be able to gain something, but it would have to be based on the fact that the old Prime Minister's study had mechanical artifacts produced by the Duchy of Bavaria, so that the method he obtained from Robert V could be used.
"That old stubborn didn't dare to be interested in anything, and his only interest was in how to help His Majesty the Emperor consolidate his rule. Listening to Killian's tone, you can tell that he has a lot of resentment towards the old prime minister.
"Well, the Prime Minister is really loyal, haha. Alfie smiled as she listened to Killian's words.
In the wind of the entire imperial capital, the old prime minister is indeed such a loyal and patriotic guy who eats the ancients. Alfie originally thought that this was his coyness, but he didn't expect that even Killian would say so, I'm afraid the old prime minister is really difficult to deal with.
"It's a pity that His Majesty doesn't appreciate it!" said Killian, grumbling in a low voice.
Maybe it's because the qualifications are too old, or maybe it's because of the high merits, in short, although the old prime minister is loyal to the royal family, Rey III has always been full of suspicion about the old prime minister since he ascended the throne. On the surface, the Richelieu family still maintains the glory of the first family of the empire under the imperial family, and only Killian knows how the old prime minister is walking on thin ice and struggling to support the Richelieu family, a behemoth without a mansion collapse, and the thin Richelieu family is far from as beautiful as outsiders see.
"If you can't come up with enough money, then you can only take one step at a time. Alfie said with a headache, he had completely ignored this situation before, he didn't expect the Richelieu family to be so strict, and the money at Killian's disposal was also limited.
"I don't need to embarrass Killian. Tyrol suddenly interjected. It was clear that Master Nat had asked them to find the Suppressor Stone in order to solve his defect of zero magical control, and Tyrol felt that this was his private matter and not suitable for bothering others.
"What's your business, yours is our business, and we'd love to help you with your magic control deficiencies. Elfie patted Tyrol on the shoulder, and although Tyrol didn't talk much, he could see that he was a reliable guy.
"It's just, although I may not be able to help much, but where it can be useful, I will definitely not be ambiguous!" Sean assured, patting his chest, and he could only do his part now.
"Tyrol, are you underestimating me?" said Killian, grim. He felt that when Tyrol said this, he didn't see him as a friend at all.
Although everyone hasn't known each other for a long time, after experiencing so many things together, everyone's relationship has been pulled into a lot by invisible hands, and Killian has regarded Tyrol and Sean, who he used to look down on, as friends. Tylor's statement made the arrogant Killian a little unacceptable.
"Killian, you know I didn't mean that. Seeing that Killian was a little displeased, Tyrol hurriedly argued.
"Then don't refuse my help. I don't believe it, the market price of the magic suppression stone is only 100,000 gold coins, and I can still make up this number if I scrape it together. Killian gritted his teeth. From his face, it could be seen that 100,000 gold coins was not a small amount for him, and it was not a small burden for Killian to make up such a large amount of gold coins in just three days without alarming the old prime minister.
However, Alfie couldn't bear to hit Killian, it was only the market price, but the magic suppression stone has always been priceless, okay? At the auction, if someone raises the price, it is not uncommon for the final transaction price of the magic suppression stone worth 100,000 gold coins to exceed one million.
It seems that bartering is the best way to do it. But except for Robert V, no one knows what the seller of the magic suppression stone needs most, is it a big circle, do you still have to buy information with Robert V? If there is a second option, Alfie really doesn't want to have any financial dealings with Robert V, it's too pitiful!
As they spoke, they had already returned to the square in front of the Magic Academy, when a large group of well-dressed magic apprentices of the same age as them walked out of the Academy.
The group of students was surrounded by a student dressed in a big red magic robe and carrying an ornate magic wand encrusted with a huge ruby. Such an exaggerated outfit can only be compared to Killian's dress when Alfie first met him.
The guy with fiery red hair pointed at Killian with the magic wand in his hand and said proudly, "I'm not mistaken, right? Isn't this Killian? I remember someone saying that they would never enter the Academy of Magic." How long has it been since someone broke their promise?"
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Killian, I don't know if it was an illusion, Alfie felt that the temperature around him had dropped a lot in an instant, and the long-lost momentum returned to Killian.
"Charles, long time no see. Killian nodded calmly, but for some reason it gave Alfie the feeling of being a great enemy.
Looking at his rival's swaggering outfit, a flash of disgust flashed in Killian's eyes. Thinking that just a few days ago, he himself was dressed like a proud peacock like Charles in front of him, and Killian felt his old face flush, how could he not have noticed that this kind of behavior was so childish and shallow before.
