The Witcher: Synthesis of Everything

Chapter 73 The bid at the birthday party

…

One afternoon a week later.

Roqueta drove the carriage, and Lin Suo lay on the cashmere cushion, with his head resting on the lap of the cat-blood half-orc maid. The girl rubbed his temples with a gentle face, picked a juicy grape, and handed it to his mouth.

"Sweet, so sweet."

This is life~

Suddenly, Lin Suo shook his head violently, making the cat maid shake.

"This damn aristocratic life almost corroded my iron will."

Lin Suo, who was struggling, suddenly saw the scared look on the cat lady's face and lay back down again.

I muttered in my heart.

"For your sake, why not be corrupted by this class enemy for just one day?... Just for one day..."

Near night.

Uptown Coster, Megalon Castle.

The chaos in the wizarding world did not affect the daily lives of the nobles at all. Compared with the last time, Lin Suo came back now and was already familiar with the journey.

Stop acting like a country bumpkin.

Titan only met him once this time and said that he would introduce him to an official from the capital after the dance at the end of the banquet. It was up to him to decide how to discuss the matter and whether it would be successful.

The change in attitude is not about burning the bridge and killing the donkey.

Instead, he acquiesced that Lin Suo would become a member of the Megalon family. With such a status... he would naturally not be treated in a friendly manner.

He is half one of us.

It's just that Titan thought so and did this because this was the unspoken rule of communication between Dandong nobles.

Lin Suo, haha.

He doesn't care about attitude, as long as he can achieve his goal, everything is easy.

The food standard of the banquet was higher than that of the simple dance last time.

During the dinner, Titan kept smiling, quite high-spirited.

Seeing the glances he cast from time to time, Lin Suo speculated that it must be the rice seeds, which played a big role.

His uncle and father-in-law, the king, should have recognized him.

Young man succeeds~

Lin Suo couldn't help but look at himself and felt that he still had many shortcomings and needed to continue learning.

In a blink of an eye, the banquet was over.

Titan Megalon fulfilled his promise and introduced him to an official in the capital.

Taominos Galenfa Berggren, because of his lack of qualifications, is an intermediate wizard apprentice who specializes in politics. He is the third son of the Prime Minister of the Betos Kingdom and the current imperial consul on his left hand. He is in charge of the sale of titles.

"Hello Rhine."

"Hello, Lord Taominos."

The two of them went to a small corner where no one would disturb them.

"Titan has told me, so I will briefly tell you about the empire's review of purchase qualifications."

"My pleasure, Your Excellency."

"Um."

It seemed that he was quite satisfied with Rhine's attitude. Taominos was unambiguous in his speech and stated his request directly.

"First of all, you have the blood of Dandong people. You are qualified based on your appearance."

"Obviously, you must have a certain level of financial strength. Titan also told me that it depends on what level of title you want. Lord and Baron are definitely enough, and Viscount is a little less."

"learn."

"Well, your origin and background must have no direct criminal record, and you must have never committed a commercial crime."

"should be no problem."

"This is confirmed by wizards from the Golden Academy and the school of prophecy and astrology through witchcraft. It's useless for you to say so."

Lin Suo was stunned and immediately worried.

There are no cameras in this era, and there is only a household registration system for identity, which records where you are from, but there are also many people who are not recorded.

Therefore, since he learned that all the people in Silver Fish Village had died, he felt reassured about his identity. Although Chardin had issued an identity certificate, Lin Suo gave him the money.

Not recorded.

The foreign ambassador, after enjoying the two "Northern Women" from the brothel, he should go to heaven as soon as he leaves. Those are not good women.

But I chose to use witchcraft...

If you use prophecy and witchcraft to spy on it, you'd be a little panicked.

At this point, there is no way out, and regretting it hastily will lead to Taominos' suspicion.

There is only one way to reach darkness.

Even if the incident occurs, it is just to see through the fake identity, and it is not necessarily certain. This assembly line system of buying offices has a long history. It is impossible to entrust a great wizard to check every time. It must be a small magic.

My mind was calm.

Lin Suo asked again.

"Your Excellency Taominos, if I want to buy the Viscount, how many magic stones will I need?"

"Oh? It seems you have some savings."

Taominos thought for a moment, took out a pamphlet from his arms, opened it and said.

"As a Viscount, there are two options for you. One is to follow the imperial process. The price is around 200,000 magic stones. There is no fiefdom. You can only enjoy the basic benefits of the title and have the legal military power of two hundred people."

"The other way is to take the channel of Betos Kingdom. It only costs 100,000 magic stones. Of course, you need to pay me 50,000 more."

"What is the difference?"

Lin Suo narrowed his eyes, trying to guess what Taominos was thinking.

"The same rights as the empire's canonization, but..."

"You will have a territory in Betos Kingdom."

Lin Suo was stunned and his breathing became rapid.

However, Taomenos' next words poured cold water on him.

"The territory is entrusted to you, and a sum of money is needed every year to support the territory's consumption, but you cannot go there yourself."

this……

Are you going to kill me like a pig?!

If he pays less than 50,000 magic stones, he will have to continuously transfuse blood into this territory for the rest of his life. It will only belong to him in name, and he will not be allowed to go there in real life.

Isn’t this just bullshit!

Seeing the dissatisfaction in Lin Suo's heart, Taominos added.

"The vast majority of people will choose the second option, because it is the only way for them to climb high. If they encounter trouble, they can naturally use the name of Megalon or Betos Kingdom."

"It only costs a few thousand magic stones to support a viscounty all year round. What do you think?"

The price of supporting a viscounty is less than a few thousand magic stones, and the Betos Kingdom will definitely make a fortune.

What he needs to do is send money for a long time...

Taominos didn't know about his underground business. By setting this price, he basically calculated the profit of the grain store and estimated the income from expanding production.

But it's just an internal treasure phantom that pretends to be powerful, but it's not worth the price.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Suo suddenly showed his white teeth.

He smiled a little coldly.

"How about adding a little more, 30,000 magic stones a year, how about the Betos Kingdom opening up a level of witchcraft knowledge to me?"

"How can it be!"

Taormenos exclaimed, somewhat angrily.

"You have no idea what you are talking about, you are short-sighted."

"Mr. Taominos, I only have one person. If you are not satisfied, you can talk about it again. The origin comes first, right..."

Origin, a person...

Taominos looked at him suspiciously, suspecting that this guy was hinting at him, but Lin Suo was already looking at him calmly.

"Since you are not satisfied, how about three a year? With 30,000 magic stones, even if you go to the Padolon Wizard Association, you can get several first-level witchcrafts, right?"

"And... the origin is above, you and I hit it off right away, so why not be as beautiful as adults."
