The black-robed mage picked up a cup of black tea and took an elegant sip.
Too much sugar, he thought, just like the decoration of the house.
The luxurious interiors of this house clearly show the extraordinary financial resources of the original owner. How could such a brilliant family end up in this situation?
The black-robed mage took another sip of black tea and listened to the explanation of the young man sitting opposite.
"It's just that I was too stupid to see their sinister intentions. I am a mage apprentice. You know how much a mage needs the support of wealth. In order to go to the mage academy in Myth Drannor in the far west, I raised money everywhere.
Eventually I got hooked on gambling.
And that insidious villain has been thinking about my ancestral home for a long time. He set up a trap to frame me and made me lose all my savings. In order to make a comeback, I borrowed two thousand gold coins from him, but he profited the money up to ten thousand.
gold!"
Sofia on the side sneered and said: "If you weren't so short-sighted and got involved in gambling in order to realize your so-called "mage" dream, how could Marbury have the opportunity to ask for money."
Sean smiled bitterly and remained silent. He knew that he couldn't help his sister this time.
Seeing that Sean was silent, she continued to sarcastically say: "I told you at the beginning that this money will be of great use to me. With my beauty and the operation of this money, I can definitely hook up with Gamaron."
That guy, he has been obsessed with me for a long time. The only thing he needs is a decent identity for his family to accept me! When I marry into his family, what kind of mage academy do you need to go to? The personal library of a legendary mage.
The museum is open to you!"
Imric narrowed his eyes slightly and observed the reaction of the brother and sister. It was obvious that this sister had been resentful of her brother for a long time. It was not difficult to see from her disgusted eyes that this brother was a burden to her.
.
What made him curious was that the combination of the name of the person he just mentioned, Gamalon, and legendary mage, reminded him of a person.
"Is the Gamalon you mentioned just now the great-grandson of Gamalon Idokir? Kelben Blackstaff?"
Imric asked curiously.
"Of course, it's that Gamalon. His grandfather is our masked lord of Waterdeep City, the great legendary mage Kelben Blackstaff!"
The political system of Waterdeep City was set up by the original founder, the legendary mage Agharon, and it was called the Masked Lord System.
Under an exposed lord leader, there are fifty to eighty masked lords who hide their identities and assist in ruling everything in Waterdeep City. These masked lords may be wealthy businessmen, public officials, or even mages.
Artists and more.
Khelben is one of the masked lords. Although his identity has long been revealed, the real nominal leader of Waterdeep is another legendary mage, Khelben's lover Lyra Silverhand.
The most commendable thing is that this couple are not only legendary mages, but also chosen by the goddess of magic. It can be said that they are not a family, and they will not belong to the same family.
When the two of them teamed up with Elminster, the fame of the three legendary mages made Waterdeep awe-inspiring to everyone around them. Later, Lady Silverhand ran away, and Elminster lived in Shadow Valley for a long time, leaving only Kyle.
Ben was left alone in the Blackstaff Tower in Waterdeep.
The great-grandson of such a powerful mage was actually obsessed with the woman in front of him. Imric asked with interest:
"Ms. Sophia is indeed very charming. Even the great-grandson of the legendary mage would fall in love with you. I wonder how your relationship is now?"
Sophia sighed and said: "We have a good relationship, but for some reason, Master Kelben has always had some prejudice against me. I heard that he likes art very much, so I planned to buy the deputy master's works as a gift to him. As a result, now there is
This matter is completely messed up!"
After hearing this, Sean gritted his teeth and said, "That's enough. I know I made a mistake, but I will make up for it. Even if I sell this house, I will help you, sister."
Sofia looked at the other party in surprise after hearing this. She did not expect that her brother would be willing to sell the house that was left to him by his parents.
Imrik rolled his eyes, chuckled and said, "I think this house is worth more than 10,000 gold coins. I wonder what the price is in your mind, Mr. Sean?"
Sean thought for a moment and said with difficulty: "One hundred thousand. No, even if someone offers 80,000, I am willing to sell it!"
Imrik listened and said: "Eighty thousand gold coins? Such a huge sum of money, I'm afraid you can't find a suitable seller for the time being. Mr. Sean, why don't you tell me why this house is worth so much money? I actually
I am also interested in purchasing real estate, so this is an option.”
The black-robed mage threw out a bait. The time was ripe. All he needed to do was to pretend to be reserved.
As expected, the two brothers and sisters' eyes lit up after hearing this, and they quickly said: "Of course, to be honest, this house was built by our great-grandfather. He was one of the masked lords of Waterdeep City. Unfortunately, with his passing,
, we White One
The family continued to decline, but this did not affect the splendor of this mansion. In order to build a magnificent villa, my great-grandfather spent 70,000 gold coins just to decorate the interior, not to mention the geographical location of this house.
advantage.”
He paused and continued: "In order to get permission to build this villa in the most prosperous place in the North District, my father paid a full 100,000 gold coins to purchase the land. If you do the math, I believe you can also
You know, 80,000 gold coins is our last resort."
Imrik nodded and sighed: "It's not difficult for you. In this case, I will do you a favor. Where to buy is not buying. If you are willing, I can sign a contract with you today to buy this
House property.”
The brother and sister looked at each other, looking in disbelief: "Are you kidding me? Eighty thousand gold coins, this is not a small amount!"
No wonder they were suspicious. A mysterious black-robed mage descended from the sky. Not only did he help them drive away the debt collectors, he also spent a huge sum of money to buy their own property. Although they did suffer a loss on this transaction, with this money, they
All the brother and sister's difficulties are solved!
Imrik stretched out his hand with a smile, and the gold coins stored in the storage gloves flowed out, and soon a small mountain was piled up.
"Of course I'm not kidding. I've said it before. Where to buy is not to buy. I think you two brothers and sisters are kind-hearted people, so naturally I am willing to help you. Of course, I also have a condition."
Sean and Sean quickly became serious and slashed at each other: "You say, as long as the conditions are not too excessive, we will agree."
"Of course it won't be too much. In fact, I personally admire Master Kelben very much. I hope that if Ms. Sofia marries Mr. Gamaron in the future, I can introduce him to him. When the time comes, I will be rewarded heavily."
The brother and sister nodded quickly, ran back to the room and took out the land deed. After the three of them drafted a sales contract on the spot, Imric took out the 80,000 gold coins and got up and left.
Before going out, he said: "I'm leaving first. I wonder if it will be convenient for me to move in in three days?"
The two brothers and sisters heard the subtext of the black-robed mage, gave them three days to pack their things, and nodded: "Of course, Mr. Mage, don't worry, except for our own luggage, we will not take away any gold or silver utensils."
Imrik left with satisfaction. His time was precious. Next, he had to go to the famous Tower of Order in the city, which controlled the circulation of magic supplies in the city. There should be many new spells.
For the black-robed mage, the joy of studying magic transcends all else, and mastering this incredible extraordinary power is his ultimate pursuit in life.
