The Lord of Ashes

Gur's warmth and hospitality were not entirely due to his knightly nature.

In fact, it is more due to family and surrounding environmental factors.

Strictly speaking, the Jobs family should be a business family.

It can be seen from the fact that some of his family members practice fighting spirit and also study magic.

He is not a traditional knight family, nor is he an established magic family.

He will develop wherever it is beneficial. This is a business family that is only interested in profit.

Gul is so enthusiastic about Thane, mostly because Gul and Thain are on the same level.

First-level creatures are not considered powerful in the wizarding world. Thain is so valued by the Jobs family because of his identity as a trialist in the Knights Continent, his foreseeable high potential in the future, and his profound background. .

Including those gifts proposed by Gur to give to Thane.

It's not Goole's own money, but investment from the Jobs family.

The Jobs family, which has a demigod-level powerhouse at its command and a deep foundation of value, doesn't mind investing in a first-level magician with great potential like Thain.

Who knows, the little "insignificant" benefit the Jobs family has paid at this time will gain the friendship of a third-level or above great magician in the future?

As an ancient family that has been based on the East Coast for more than 20,000 years, the Jobs family naturally has its own development philosophy.

Sure enough, in the subsequent exchange with Gur, Thain discovered that the enthusiasm and familiarity this guy showed when they first met were all fake.

Gur is indeed a knight who is easy to deal with, but according to his character, he is not that "sick" and enthusiastic.

When following Gur to his private estate, the guy stroked his chest armor and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

He doesn't really like to perform, but sometimes he has to do it when he's in that position.

"Hey, that was my second uncle, an old-fashioned magician."

"When we were in Knight Continent, I thought you were boring, but my second uncle was even more boring." Gul said, shaking his head.

The person Gur was referring to was the first person who came out to receive Thain when he entered the Jobs family castle. The other person was a second-level magician.

As Gur said, from beginning to end, Thain said nothing to the other party.

I just knew that the other person's surname was also Jobs, but I didn't expect to have such a close relationship with Gur.

The Jobs family developed and presided over several human cities on the east coast, and there were even two extremely prosperous mega-cities among which there were even floating aerial ports built in the cities.

In terms of financial strength, the Jobs family may be stronger than Thain mentor Lu Lianman who built the Holy Tower of Blue Origin.

So, don't underestimate anyone.

Gur can enter the Knight Continent to participate in the trial, so his family will definitely not be too simple.

Although Gul was overly enthusiastic before, having said that, he is indeed much more active than Thane.

Most of the time, it was Gur who was talking, and Thain just nodded and agreed, rarely expressing his own opinions.

When he was about to arrive at Gur's manor, the late first-level knight said with a grimace: "This time I was busy looking for the inheritance secret realm in the knight continent trial area, and ignored the collection of certain resources required by the family. "

"Sean, can you help me? If you have those resources, our Jobs family will buy it at a premium, I guarantee your satisfaction!" Gur looked at Thain expectantly.

It turns out that the focus is here.

Regarding Gur's request, Thane did not rush to express it, but first asked him what specific resources he wanted.

After receiving Gur's answer, Thane felt relieved and nodded in agreement with his request.

The resources Gul requested from Thane to acquire were all specialty resources of the Knight Continent.

These resources are very common in the Knight Continent, but outside the Knight Continent, it is almost difficult to grow in the outside world.

Thain collected a large number of such specimens, and it would not be a big deal to give some to the Gur and Jobs families.

After receiving Thain's reply, Gul was visibly relieved.

He happily patted Thain on the shoulder, which was obviously much more sincere than his previous gesture.

"I've prepared a gift for you, I guarantee you'll like it."

"There is one that I originally liked, but my family insisted on giving it to you, saying that I would be abstinent for a period of time."

"You're going to enjoy your life." Gul said to Thain with a wink.

Sure enough, the gift prepared by the Jobs family for Thain was indeed a great gift.

This is a gift that is enough to make even a second-level magician’s heart flutter.

Just the long gift list needs to be looked at for a while.

Thain finally used two space rings to hold the warm gift from the Jobs family.

This does not include the premium income that Thain will receive from the several resources that he is about to trade with the Jobs family.

The Jobs family understands very well what magicians like Thain need. The gifts they prepare are not rare materials that are too precious. Some of them are local magic materials unique to the East Coast, and the Jobs family has traded alliance positions. surface, and obtained some special materials from the heterotopic surface.

Thain has never seen 90% of these materials. Some of them have only heard of them or seen relevant magic illustrations.

Therefore, why is Thane not satisfied with this gift.

As for the deal between Thain and the Jobs family, there is no rush for the time being.

The Jobs family has sent a special person over, and the Jobs family does not want to limit the details of the transaction to the items Gur just talked about.

How many rare materials did Thain get in the Knights Continent trial area, and how many materials can be traded with the Jobs family?

Gur, this guy is a good master at cultivating fighting spirit.

But in the field of collecting materials, the top brass of the Jobs family wanted to strangle this prodigal son.

After a trip to the Knights Continent trial area, Gur came back with basically nothing.

If it weren't for his blind cat encountering a dead mouse, he happened to stumble upon a hidden small secret realm of inheritance and got something from it.

I am afraid that the Jobs family will consider discontinuing it. He has the highest resource tilt ratio among first-level family members. "What's going on?" After counting the gifts given to him by the Jobs family, Thane asked, pointing to the fox girl in front of him.

This is a fragile girl with a height of 1.6 meters and a pale golden fox tail. Her two small ears tremble slightly, indicating that she is not a creature from the wizarding world.

"Oh, this is a fox virgin from the world of orcs! How about it, is it beautiful?"

"You may not know that fox girls in the orc world are a scarce resource in our wizarding world."

"Their beauty is no less than that of elves and mermaids."

"The virgins of the fox tribe are worth twice as much. They have some special racial abilities."

"What's even rarer is that this little fox girl is also a shaman."

"Although she is only the lowest level of Wind Whispering Priest." Gul said eloquently to Thane, this guy knows quite a lot.

As a knight, Gur is rare to have more knowledge reserves than a erudite magician like Thain.

Gur's understanding of the orc fox girl is naturally due to this guy's preference.

And Thain concluded from reading between the lines of Gur's words that the Jobs family was a very powerful business family. In addition to the traditional resource trade, this east coast family also made great achievements in the field of slave biological trading.

The Jobs family has certain cooperative relationships with several member worlds of the Wizarding Alliance that have large-scale export trade of slave creatures.

The Orc World is the Jobs family's most important partner in the slave biological trade sector.

It is precisely because of the long-term close cooperation and transactions with a certain lord in the orc world that the Jobs family was able to obtain high-end goods such as fox virgins.

What's even more valuable is that this little fox girl is also a priest.

The priest is a unique profession in the orc world, and his status in the orc world is equivalent to that of a magician in the wizard world.

I wonder if that orc lord is too brave?

The Jobs family is so smart that they can even trade orc priests for slaves.

There are gods and even masters in the orc world.

It is an important member plane of the Wizards Alliance, and its foundation is a large world.

When the trading priest stabbed him, no matter how powerful the orc lord was, he would inevitably be burned into a pile of charred bones by the divine fire in the orc temple.

But then again, the rules of the Holy Tower and Knights Hall in the Wizarding World can be implemented extremely thoroughly in the Wizarding World.

But in the orc world, the divine laws promulgated by the beast gods may not be implemented so well.

This has a lot to do with the complex development history of the orc world and the mutual aggression between different orc pantheons.

In the orc world, buying and selling creatures from this plane is legal in itself.

This is also the largest export of goods that the Orc World can get a massive amount of magic coins from the Wizards Alliance every year.

Do you treat your compatriots on this plane as goods?

Tsk tsk, only ignorant races and civilizations like the orc world would do this.

Knights and magicians, including Thane, have vested interests, so naturally it's hard to say anything.
