Chapter 56: Aini's Parents (Part 1)

【It's very tired, from tomorrow, no less than the third update】

Sarin stayed in the room for three days, and the wound on his face finally subsided and he could see someone. In front of the mirror, Sarin looked at his appearance.

It turned out that the weak boy could no longer see it. Salin's skin is now fair and has a healthy and moisturized feeling. His hair has also changed from brown to black, with a pair of blue eyes and a slightly taller nose bridge, which looks a bit different from Qin Yinren.

The brocade-weaving mage robe was covered with spotlessness. In this way, he was a noble mage who was enviable. Who would have thought that a few years ago, he was still an orphan begging along the street.

Neris emerged from behind Salin, looked at Salin in the mirror and said, "Master, are you really going to follow Rex all the time?"

Salin looked at Nelis in the mirror. Nelis was still the outfit he had changed at the beginning. He was a bit wild, but his face was gorgeous and noble, and he could not tell that he was not a human being.

"Yes, I promised him."

"Isn't that the same as me?" Neris's expression of grievance seemed to be worthless for Salin.

"Nelise, this is an equivalent exchange."

"What is equivalent exchange?" Neris's turquoise eyes looked a bit like Joey.

“Equivalent exchange means that you have to pay the same price for what you want to get.”

"What price did the master pay for me?" Nelise asked in confusion.

"Why didn't it? If someone discovers your identity, I will either abandon you or face life danger. There are too many people who want to get you. There are always some people in this world who refuse to follow the rules."

"Master will not abandon me, right?" Neris leaned gently on Salin's body, and his expression turned like a poor child.

"Master Salin, please come over." A swordsman from the princess knocked on the door outside the door.

"Come on this." Salin thought for a while and said to Neris: "You can follow too."

The last time he confronted Yunliu Messenger, he felt unsafe. After all, he was just a second-level mage. If there were no strong martial arts around him, he would always look very fragile.

Rex had already changed his clothes and was waiting for Salin, and it seemed that he was about to go out. Not only did she bring Feiren, but the four Black Iron Sword Saints also followed her. After a few days, Rex's complexion improved much better and there was no depressed expression on her face.

"Sarin, let's go and meet the people of the Clyde family."

"Princess, are you going in person?"

"Well, no matter how you say it is, you are also an earl."

Salin nodded. Kushui County was very remote, but if the county was mainly engaged in business, the Clyde family would definitely be willing to open up this trade route. The princess founded the country and wanted to buy a large number of weapons and armor. That was not something that the alchemist in Kushui County could do, and the number would be extremely large.

The cities around Kushui County also need to be renovated, and this construction is another big money. Kushui County has enough mages, and there is no need to buy essential items such as alchemy drawings, but stone and wood are required to provide the city-building materials.

With this business, Rex can establish a long-term relationship with the Clyde family. Moreover, if Rex is the first to establish a business in Kushui County, the Clyde family will receive great tax benefits.

Seeing that Rex brought all the combatants, Salin asked Neris to call Shika and left Shika alone in the palace, he was even more worried.

This time, Rex could not walk through the main entrance, and her carriages were waiting at the side door. As soon as she got on the car, rain began to float in the sky. The rain was fine, like light fog. The swordsmen put on cloaks and hoods, and the mages also held up the invisible shield and walked quietly in the rain.

When Salin entered Holy Rock City, he took a turn and entered from the north. The Clyde family's residence was in the west, which happened to be in the direction of Kushui County.

Salin discovered that the further away from the palace, the more luxurious the building. The worst buildings are all green steel brick and wood structures. The buildings with more than three floors basically have traces of alchemist designs. Less than three miles away, you can see a mansion from a distance.

The towering roof adopts the First Dynasty style, simple and solemn. There are two small doors directly on both sides of the gate, and the vaults are curved, which looks like a fortress, but does not have the narrow feeling of a fortress.

There is a huge badge-like pattern on the front door, which is a lying lion. Salin remembers the badge given to him by Aini, and the lion is exactly the same as the image on the badge.

There was a man who looked like a housekeeper in front of the door, wearing a robe and holding an umbrella, standing there waiting. Rex's carriage was parked in front of the door, and the man who looked like a housewife came up, put away his umbrella, and saluted respectfully to the carriage.

"Your Excellency, the Earl cannot come out to greet him in person, is it a shame."

The butler had long heard of Princess Rex's deeds and was nervous. Now no one wants to provoke Rex in the entire Saint Rock City, and it is not easy to get in touch with him. I don't know what she came to find the Earl this time, but it doesn't matter if it's a walk, but Rex sent a famous post in advance.

"I understand, lead the way."

Rex responded, the carriage door opened, and she walked down slowly. The butler's eyes were a little straight. Fortunately, his professional qualities were still there for many years, so he quickly bowed and made a gesture of invitation.

Rex got out of the carriage, and the rain scattered and fell outside her body. Her colorful mage robe was like a flower blooming in the rain.

Salin and other life mages also got out of the car and followed the housekeeper into the Earl's Mansion. There were dozens of slaves greeting him, setting the swordsman and the battle mage's horses, and silently along the way.

Salin observed carefully that the Clyde family's mansion was very simple, without the messy styles outside, all with simple geometric lines. The houses were mostly on both sides and the doors and windows were wide. The servants who served obviously had martial arts, no masters, and at most they were intermediate swordsmen. However, as servants, this was already very good.

Judging from the size of the Earl's Mansion, it is not a problem for thousands of people to live in. So many swordsmen can form a small army. The butler Salin couldn't see any martial arts and had no elemental fluctuations on his body. He probably was a magic apprentice.

Many magic apprentices will give up pursuing magic knowledge and switch to other industries because they cannot advance to mages. Because magic apprentices are literate, handle accounts on behalf of others, be stewards, and be enlightenment teachers are all good choices. Some magic apprentices even learn martial arts and become magic swordsmen.

Most magicians look down on apprentices who change careers like this, but Salin understands it very well. If you don’t have money and talent, you will only starve to death if you don’t change careers.

Opposite the huge courtyard, a middle-aged man in noble clothes stood under the steps, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Rex and his group from afar, he laughed first and said loudly: "Princess, I can't go out to greet you, don't blame me."

This is the current patriarch of the Clyde family? Salin looked closely and saw that the middle-aged man had thick black eyebrows, square face, short beards, wheat-colored skin, and steady hands and feet. Obviously, like the ancient plaid Viscount, he was not a nobleman with no diligence.

Rex nodded, not showing much enthusiasm. There were many earls in the imperial capital. Even if she came to discuss business, there was no need to lower her attitude. The level difference between the two sides was there, and she was a level 5 mage.

Until the living room, Salin didn't see a powerful Clyde family appearing. The living room was large, and outside the tall glass window, there was a small and exquisite garden. The green silk vines hung down from above and were covered in wetness in the rain. Salin had seen the crystal lamp on the ceiling, which was in the castle where Baron Cook was stationed, and it might be sold by the Clyde family.

The Earl was accompanying him, and there was also a young man here, with a face similar to that of the Earl, probably the Earl's son.

The maid brought the tea, and the two female mages beside Rex smiled and took out the tea set and tea leaves, and created a water for restoration. Juan released a burning technique and quietly brewed tea on the side. The Count was a little embarrassed, and then asked the maid to remove his tea.

Many nobles carried wine, cigarettes or tea sets with them. This was the first time the Earl saw him as arrogant as Princess Rex.

Salin watched from the side and learned another move. Rex had already suppressed the count invisibly in awe. Even if she was not the princess of the Empire, she was not comparable to that of the count.

The number of mages in the Clyde family is not too small, but they are not too extravagant to use them to make tea.

"Spartian, I originally wanted to wait for you to enter the palace, but unfortunately I can't stay for a few days this time, so I came to my house in person. My father is going to go on an expedition, and your Clyde family is too busy with too much, and I don't think you have that free time." Rex took the tea handed over by Nania, put it under his lips, and blew it.

"Yes," Earl of Spartian sighed, "people in the family are busy transporting military supplies these days, and even the business in the north of the city has stopped. What instructions do the princess have for him to come this time?"

"You are the one you favored by your father, how can I tell you?" Princess Rex took a sip, and the smile on her face was as light as a magic formula, without any flaws.

Earl Spartian's face turned red. He relied on the emperor to maintain the glory of the family, but he did not dare to go out to greet Rex, for fear of arousing dissatisfaction from other nobles. Rex said this clearly to scold him. However, he was also a slick person and did not mention the pressure of Prince Phoenix at all. He just said, "Princess, I was going to enter the palace, but the other three families were also staring at him. I really couldn't figure out what you mean."

"I mean..." Rex put down the tea in his hand and looked at Earl Spartian. Earl Spartian's heart was in his throat. Rex said lightly: "I will leave the business east of Kushui County to Salin to deal with. This is Salin, you can get to know him."

Rex pointed at Salin, without saying anything else, his eyelids drooped, as if he was meditating.

Earl of Spartian was overjoyed. Princess Rex said this, which was to recognize the business of the Clyde family in Kushui County. In the past, the business of Kushui County was controlled by the Princess's Mansion. Once the country was established, the business would expand more than a hundred times. As soon as he heard the news from the palace, he realized that this was a huge business opportunity.

"Master Salin, I am Spartian von Clyde." Earl of Spartian did not mean to be contemptuous because of Salin's age. He introduced himself to Salin very politely.
