Chapter 56: Aini's Parents (Part II)
"Well, since you know each other, then I'll go back. Rex said, putting down his teacup.
Count Spartian was stunned, and the Lord of Rex came over in person, just to introduce Saleen to himself? He looked at Saleen carefully, but did not see any clues. This young mage has a calm temperament, his expression is flat, he is obviously smiling, but there is no smile in his blue eyes.
An aristocratic demeanor. Count Spartian secretly commented in his heart.
Saleen also stood up, and Rex waved his hand and said, "A few of them will go back with you, and you can talk to the Earl more." ”
A few of them refer to the four Black Iron Sword Saints. Salin knew that if the county lord had built up for himself, he would have to take care of the Clyde family's affairs. According to Rex's habits, his task this time is very heavy, and the harvest will be great. That Juan's eyes were on fire, and he guess he had been thinking about this position for a long time.
Salin remained silent and sat back slowly.
Rex went to Clyde's house and drank only a cup of tea that he had brought, and said a few words, but Salin admired it. Don't look at Rex's usual politeness to mages, but in the face of nobles, his means are very clever. Even if this Count Spartian has more means, he can't use the county lord, he is ostensibly responsible, and if there is a problem, Rex can kick himself away.
It is also difficult for the Clyde family to bribe themselves, and no one knows what their relationship with the county lord is.
Salin sat in his chair, a little bored, thinking about how to talk about business with the old and cunning earl, and unconsciously picked up the teacup left by Rex.
There were only a few emerald green leaves left in the teacup, and on the inside of the white cup, there were half red lip prints. Neris grinned as she lifted the teapot and poured water for Salin. The water was a little cold, and Salin pondered, not to drink.
Rex didn't explain anything to himself, he couldn't make a claim, this time it was just to contact feelings, get to know the people related to the Clyde family, and the details could only be planned when he returned to Bitterwater County. Saleen had read a lot and understood that building business relationships was as complicated as learning magic. Otherwise, so many low-level mages would not have to suffer from poverty.
This time, I don't have to do anything else, I have to know Aini's parents. Ani is a person who is a little difficult to get along, but he also attaches great importance to family affection, and has a good relationship with his parents, so that he can continue in the future.
I just don't know if Aini's parents are imprisoned in Yanjing, or if they are just house arrest in disguise.
It was a long time before Count Spartian and his son returned to the drawing-room. The four Black Iron Sword Saints remained motionless and sat steadily in the back, and Salin had confidence in his heart.
"Lord Earl. Salin let out a lazy call, and it was hard to tell from the accent that he was a Skochenian.
"Master Sarin. Spartian sat down again, and when he saw Naris serving Saleen, he didn't know how to begin. Judging by Salin's dress and demeanor, he is a person who is not short of money. Looking at Nellis's appearance, it is difficult to seduce him with beautiful women. He is an earl, and Salin directly listens to the county lord, and there are four strong men to protect him.
It's like a tiger encountering a hedgehog and not knowing how to bite it. The most difficult thing in the world to deal with is a mage who is not short of money, but Salen is such a mage.
"Actually, this time, business is secondary, I want to meet personally. "Salin knows that he is not an opponent when talking about business with the earl, but fortunately, there is no rush in this matter, there are three business families in Yanjing, and the earl will not let himself choose another target easily.
"Who does the mage want to meet?" Count Spartian was a little strange, Bitterwater County has always been incompatible, and no family's business has ever reached there. It can be said that Kushui County is a closed world, who does this mage want to meet?
"Ani O'Clyde. Salin said, taking a sip of cold tea, with a hint of sweetness in the tea, like the smell of Rex.
"Huh?" Count Spartian's face was a little grim, and then he was relieved. Salin couldn't be from the Holy See, and the Lord of Rex couldn't either.
"Ani is my friend and I've been thinking about him since we broke up in Phoenix. Saleen put down his teacup and said unhurriedly.
"Ani......" Count Spartian was a little hesitant, Ani was a genius of magic, but unfortunately he was ruined by the people of the Holy See, but who would have thought that he would re-cultivate necromancy. The family is not ready to publicize this matter, is this Salin reliable?
Saleen saw through Count Spartian's mind at a glance, it wasn't that he was smart, but that Saleen already knew what Ani was going to do. A necromancer is still very important to the Clyde family.
Salin looked at the Count's son, the young man with his head down, as if he had no interest in listening to what he was saying, and could not see what he was thinking. If Aini becomes a necromancer, will it affect the young man's status in the family?
"Lord Earl, could it be that Aini has already bought the Necromantic Flame?" Salin deliberately pretended to be surprised.
Count Spartian didn't answer directly, but his heart relaxed, it seems that the relationship between Salin and Aini is really good, otherwise Aini wouldn't have told him about the Necromantic Flame. Count Spartian nodded and said, "He is not in Yanjing, and it is not very convenient to practice here." ”
"That's a pity, can I meet his parents? ”
Count Spartian said cheerfully: "There is no problem with this, Aini's parents are here, Master Salin ......"
Salin immediately stood up and said with a smile, "That's great, I'm going to see you." ”
Spartian didn't expect Saleen to be so happy, and was a little caught off guard. Saleen had already taken a few steps, affectionately going to pull his sleeve.
Salin thought to himself, you, the earl, and I are nothing more than a business relationship, but Aini and I were born and died together. It's easier to socialize with his parents than with an old fellow like you. Aini's parents have caused so much trouble, but they are under house arrest in Yanjing, and their status in the family must be not low.
Those four Black Iron Sword Saints, Rex will have to take them back sooner or later, and it is best for him to find a backer in the Clyde family. In the future, Aini's parents will take care of him.
"Good, good ......"
Count Spartian still did not dodge, was pulled by Salin, and walked out the door. If it was a pure nobleman, of course he wouldn't do it, but Salin was not, he turned back as he walked, and said to Shika and the others: "You guys are here, wait for me to come back." ”
Count Spartian had no choice but to turn around and instruct his son to accompany the guests.
Salin took the Earl's sleeve and did not let go, chatting with the Count as he walked, so that the Count of Spartian could not say anything related.
Along the way, everyone who saw this situation was surprised, and they didn't know what the young mage came from. The business had not yet been negotiated, and Count Spartian did not want to shake off Salin's hand, so he could only endure it.
After a short time, the two of them came to a separate courtyard. This courtyard is not like Qin Yin's style, it is somewhat similar to Joey's home, with a separate wall, a courtyard gate, not surrounded by buildings.
The two swordsmen in front of the door guarded, and Salin could see at a glance that the level of these two people was probably already a high-level swordsman.
"Lord Earl. The two senior swordsmen saluted, but they didn't mean to open the door. Salin noticed that the gate was not locked, and the steps were clean, as if they were cleaned regularly. The little rain that had just fallen made the front of the door unusually clean without a trace of dust.
"Go and tell Phirette that he has a friend of Ani and wants to come and see him. ”
Salin looked at it strangely, if Ani's parents were imprisoned, why didn't the Count go in directly, didn't he even have this power? He thought to himself, a swordsman had already gone in to report, and it didn't take long for him to come out and say, "Earl, Lord Philette let him in by himself." ”
Salin looked at the Count, who shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands. Salin said, "Your Excellency, Earl...... Son, let's go and see, my two subordinates I'm a little worried. ”
Salin suddenly thought of Nellis, in case she suddenly had some weird idea, don't make a fuss in the living room. The Count's son doesn't seem as shrewd as his son, and it's normal for him to be tricked by Nellis.
Ignoring the Count's stunned expression, Salin strode up the steps and into the courtyard gate.
There is a stone path in the yard flanked by land and planted with flowers. The new rain is clear, the fragrance of flowers is rich, and the moist air breathes with fragrance. On the front is a stone house, two floors, very large. There was a colonnade in front of the door, and Saleen went up the steps and knocked lightly.
"Come in. A gentle voice rang out. Saleen pushed the door open and saw a huge magic laboratory.
The entire stone house is open to the first floor, except for the buildings on both sides, there are more than 20 magic experiment tables in the room, and hundreds of shelves of all sizes. Facing them were huge glass windows, and light poured in, shining on the two people.
The man has red hair and is tall, and the woman has black hair and a slender figure. This man and woman were in their thirties, and neither of them wore mage robes, just a simple set of linen shirts. The woman was fine, and Saleen felt strong elemental fluctuations in the man's body.
It feels a bit like Feron. If he wore a magic robe, Saleen probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
The man was concentrating on the magic experiment, and Saleen stood in the doorway, not approaching, just waiting. On the test bench, six metal columns inlaid with precious stones form a circle, and a gemstone floats in the middle. The man was controlling the black rays of corrosion, carving gems.
This man is Aini's father!
Salin thought that this man did not hesitate to kill the lurkers of a city of the Holy See for the sake of his son, and his eye sockets were a little moist. If you think about it carefully, all I can remember is my mother's warm embrace and my father's vague face.
