Chapter 145: In the days of making money (2)

Let's listen! Metz didn't care at all, she still threw Shui Si worry in her mouth, and everyone seemed to have become her favorite food these days.
"I think we can take this black gold to auction!"
"Auction!?" Metz finally stopped and looked over with a bit of puzzlement. The people on the table didn't seem to have heard the word, and they were quite new to hear Robben's explanation.
When buying magic scrolls in Langfang City, Robben realized that there was no auction house in Langfang City. Walking around during this period of time, there seems to be no such thing as an auction now.
Robben explained to everyone about the auction now.
"Bid on the spot? High price to win the bid?" Metz was surprised every time Robben said a word.
"It's good to be careful! Why didn't I expect it!?" Metz swallowed the last bite of dumplings in his belly. Turning his eyes, he found that the attention was indeed very good.
"However, we have to take some risks by ourselves, try to notify those who have the ability to buy, and have a place that is as tightly guarded as a magic material store and has to accommodate some people, and we must first let them know the rules in advance." Si began to point out some questions flexibly.
Robben scratched his head. Indeed, it is not that simple to make a thing from scratch. It requires countless preparations and preparations. If it doesn't work, you should just take it to the magic material shop! Robben frowned when he saw Metz, and seemed to be embarrassed.
"Huh?" Metz raised his head and heard these words. The look in Robben's eyes was very unkind.
"These are small things, why didn't you say it earlier! Millions of gold coins may have slipped out of your hands for nothing!"
"coffee…"
"I thought about it. It doesn't seem to be very difficult. I'll start to do it after dinner, if that's the case." Let's see the first effect! "Mayes didn't guess randomly.
Sister, Cavite’s family is here, and insist on seeing you and Robben! "Philip, who had eaten the first thing, walked back.
"It's that Sam's family?" Robben remembered that when he returned from the council that day, a three-star water mage named Sam once blocked his way.
"Not bad!" Maes picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth lightly. "Tell him to wait first and say that he will see him after dinner!"
"Good lady!" Philip nodded slightly, and exited the open-air restaurant;
"Why don't you care about people again this time!" Robben saw Louth drop the tableware and stood up.
"The Lord is here. The Cavite family is strong and a profitable customer. I think, after these few days, those people should also know my attitude. Let's go!"
"Uh! What are you doing! Didn't you finish the meal?" Robben was stunned, and Metz had already grabbed Robben's clothes.
"Fool, we are going to change your clothes now!"
Half an hour later"
"Mr. Robben. Please forgive me if I take the liberty to interrupt, I am Krent, the treasurer of the Cavite family!" One. The well-dressed middle-aged man stood on the deck and politely bowed to Robben. Then he turned around and leaned slightly to Metz, "Interfering with Madam's meal time. Please forgive me!"
Robben and Mays have both changed into suits for meeting guests and are sitting in two chairs.
Metz frowned slightly. The treasurer himself had heard that, although he was named the treasurer, he actually doubled as the foreign minister of the Cavill family. It could be said that he was an influential person.
However, among those who came today, it seemed that he and a few others were the only ones who came here?
Robben didn't have any ideas. He was just sitting here to be full. Robben didn't understand business matters at all. It was just that this time he gave himself a lot of face and greeted him completely according to the etiquette of being a male host. Robben couldn't help but look at this Krent very pleasingly.
"I don't know if the Minister of Interior and Foreign Affairs of the Cavill family came this time to discuss the establishment of a new route?" Metz sat on the chair beautifully and dignified, but his tone was a little cold.
"No! Madam, I, a little butler, can't pay attention to such things!" Karente turned around, answering Metz's question here, looking extra polite.
"No? What are you here for? You have to see us!" Metz frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy.
"I'm here this time to send a letter for my host. When I left, my host told me. This letter must be delivered to Mr. Robben or Mrs. Robben by hand. That's why I had to take the liberty Come on board!"
Krent spoke and took out an inconspicuous letter from his arms. Philip took it and handed it to Robben's words.
"The master said, if possible, I hope I can get a reply before leaving. If it is not convenient, I can wait under the airship!" Krent always smiled, but he didn't look humble.
Robben was not polite, and opened the letter directly. The letter was not long, and there were mostly meaningless polite remarks. After reading it, Robben did not express any opinions and directly handed the letter to Metz.
Metz glanced at the letter, and the general content was already clear to his mind, "Want to come to me as a guest? It is naturally my honor! Krent. Go back and tell your master that we are waiting for him at any time! "
"Thank you! Madam! I will tell!"
Krent didn't talk nonsense, but when Maes agreed, he finally bowed and retired directly from the boat.
"Yeah! Among these nobles, there are still brainy people!" After Krent left, Maes threw the letter on the table with a smile on his face.
"That. Who is Park Cavite?" Robben just saw this at the bottom of the letter. first name.
"Naturally it is the Patriarch of the Cavite family!" Metz's eyes were gleaming, "Our money is about to be delivered!"
"The letter says he will visit in three days!" Robben picked up the letter and read it again.
"Yes, Krent just came to make a front stop today, to prepare us, and to show our sincerity and politeness. To be honest, we are neither the nobles of the alliance. On many occasions, Putin was able to lower his status to visit in person, which really gave everyone a face! Of course, this is what I want."
"I think, I'm afraid Parker has found out all three generations of your ancestors. He must have a lot of information about your affairs in the Caton Empire. This old cunning guy should still be a little skeptical, but it seems that he would rather believe it now. These are squeezed by me, and I will be the first to talk about the new route. Indeed, the first person to come has the greatest benefit."
"Working with smart people should go very smoothly. Actually. I have long been optimistic about Cavite's family. They are my favorite partners." Metz smiled like a fox again.
"If the negotiation goes well, your auction will be held smoothly, I think, my plan will be implemented soon!"
"Open a new route?"
"Not bad".
"Have you figured out which one to open!" Robben asked casually as he pulled the tight buttons of his clothes away.
"Passer Snow Mountain!"
"Paser, Snow Mountain!?"
"Ok". Metz answered it for granted.
Robben spit, "Why? It's very dangerous there, and the transportation volume of Pasir Snow Mountain has not been very large!"
"Roben, although I don't know what kind of head you have, you can practice magic to this height in such a short time, but make money! You are far from my opponent." Mace smiled and patted Robben on the shoulder.
Robben has no ability to refute",
"Roben, tell me, which country is behind the Passer Mountains?" Metz suddenly asked Robben when he changed the topic.
"Carton Empire, didn't you come from there just to escape marriage"
Robben didn't finish, but Metz glared at him fiercely, "I didn't ask you this! Just say the Caton Empire!"
"Let me ask you again, how many years has the Caton Empire not been at war!" Metz then asked.
"Uh". Robben really didn't know, most of his memories in the past were vague, how could he remember such things.
"Almost a hundred years!" Fortunately, Metz didn't expect Robben to answer.
"From the beginning of the founding of the Caton Empire to the present, the territory has been expanded several times, and it is the most aggressive country on the continent. This will be a hundred years. The empire is battling its troops. I have collected some information. These data show that within five to ten years, the Caton Empire is very likely to initiate a new large-scale war."
Metz put his chin in his hands, his eyes gleaming, but Robben felt that Metz's eyesight was all gleaming gold coins.
"But, what does this have to do with us!?" Robben didn't know why.
"The Vale Alliance and the Caton Empire have a natural barrier." Passer Mountains, unless this mountain falls. Otherwise, the Caton Empire will never want to occupy the alliance. Caton has always maintained a friendly relationship with the alliance. In history, Caton has fought several large-scale wars, in addition to mobilizing resources and plundering on the spot. The resources purchased from the Vale Alliance are also quite amazing! "
Robben looked at Metz, his eyes widened again, this woman actually wants war money!
"These materials are all urgently mobilized. Because of the huge quantity, it is impossible to transport all of them by airships. Many of them bypass the Passer Mountains, but the cost of the materials will rise. However, if the whole alliance is 70% or even If more than 80% of the airships are here for transportation"".
Metz has clearly seen a bright future!
"There are not too many routes on the snow-capped mountains. This time, I plan to buy these routes and open a few new routes, and use the shortest distance to ship to the military city across the mountain by airships! Unlike civilian transportation, when the time comes With this sum alone, we can earn more than ten years of money on general routes! Moreover, it is not easy to set up routes on snow-capped mountains. The service cycle of these routes must be many times longer than that on ordinary land. We definitely do not Will lose money!"
Robben was already stunned.
"In normal times, as long as we monopolize the routes over the snowy mountains, I think it is not a problem to maintain a good income. The transportation of snowy mountains is difficult and risky. I think it will be easy to buy those routes! "
Metz gave a light cough, took a sip from a glass of water on the table, and finally finished talking.
Robben doesn’t doubt the possibility of the success of Metz’s plan. At least, it’s not a problem to buy those routes. Metz secretly bought so many airships."
"But, Mace, we have war money. Robben feels vaguely uncomfortable.
Maes raised his eyes, glanced at Robben's body, and gently put down the water glass in his hand.
"I thought that in half a year, you have experienced life and death, and you will no longer have such naive kindness!"
This sentence. It was a little exciting for Robben!
"Metz! This is not naive! It has nothing to do with my kindness or not. This is a disregard for life, a disregard for those who live. The money we have in our hands may cost countless blood. Countless displacements were exchanged for the pain of losing loved ones and the sorrow of losing the country!"
Robben stood up involuntarily, staring at Metz with scorching eyes.
"Still like this. Looks like, ha ha". Metz did not evade Robben's gaze, with a faint smile on his face, "just like when he jumped out of the airship holding the barrel of venom." Metz cupped his face with his hands. Looking at Robben fixedly, his eyes were full of tenderness.
"Roben, I have to say that you made a mistake. I just made money. Without me, the war would still go on and the blood would still bleed. There would still be people displaced, lost loved ones, without me. Those supplies would also be used. The way of transporting the Caton Empire is just the same as things are now. Without me, new routes will be put on the agenda in a few years. I just choose the time and make some money.

Metz's indifferent words left Robben speechless. He was a little excited just now, thinking of his lost relatives, thinking of displacement, thinking of himself"
Robben knows that what Metz said is actually good
"But, because of your naivety, I like it!"
Robben was feeling heavy, and he was taken aback when he heard Metz's words.
"If you don't like me like this, I'll give up this plan!"
There was a faint red glow on Metz's face. A finger slowly drew a circle on the rim of the water glass, faintly looking at the gently trembling water surface in the glass, and my face was constantly twisting in this small water glass.
"What's the important thing to talk about for so long?" Not far away, Sasha's dissatisfied voice came, and Philip's persuasion was mixed in it.
"Okay, your good girl is here!" Maes raised his head, looking at Robben as if shyly and jokingly.
"Forget about it!"
Putting a finger up, Metz made a silent motion.
Robben felt that Metz's eyes were amazingly bright.
"Sasha, look what the old man sent!?"
Robben was at a loss. Metz had already stood up, picked up the letter, and ran to Salsa happily, "Someone is coming to send money!"
Mace danced and said something to the unintelligible Sasa and the absent-minded Sue.
In the glass of water on the table, there was peace, it seemed, "Nothing has been born.
Robben was in a trance.
"Roben! What are you doing!?"
Early in the morning, the warm sun shone on the deck, and Robben was sitting there among the scattered tables and chairs at the forefront of the airship deck.
Seeing Robben lying on the table early in the morning writing and drawing on a piece of parchment, and sometimes even turning the parchment around, Metz, who had always been up early, sat curiously opposite Robben. .
After the conversation two days ago, Metz was completely unremarkable. Robben even felt that he had heard it wrong.
Metz is wearing a wide nightgown, covered with a coat, and no shoes on her feet. She is now squatting on the wide chair like a curious monkey, looking suspiciously at the sheepskin in Robben's hand. paper.
In the faint purring, Robben saw Maomao being held in his arms by Metz. Now he is sleeping, and Robben saw that a thin stream of saliva was about to stick to Metz's sleeve."
Maomao finally woke up in the last few days. Those dragons’ soul stones seem to have been eaten clean by Maomao. These days Maomao often mixes with Salsa and Su in the spacious kitchen of the airship. In fact, most of the day, Maomao stayed there.
Surprisingly, Maomao likes Metz very much. This magical dragon, who is never close to strangers, usually looks cute, but never lets strangers come close. Until now, Su, who has been with Sasha for a long time, can only feed Maomao food. Maomao never let Su hug.
After Maomao discovered Maomao, he immediately broke with Sasha. Yesterday, when Robben was asleep, he seemed to vaguely heard two people arguing about who should hold Maomao to sleep! Obviously, Metz won in the end.
"It's cold in the morning, do you usually wear shoes?" Robben looked at Metz a few times, and finally set his eyes on her feet, who was trying to shrink them.
"The shoes made my feet hurt so much the other day, so I don't want to wear shoes these days!" Metz rubbed his feet slightly and smiled happily.
"You will catch a cold! I remember you have those shy soft shoes in your bedroom." That was what Robben saw when he entered Metz's bedroom before the airship was in distress.
Metz pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer.
"What are you doing, you haven't told me yet!" Metz stretched his head at the parchment on the table, asking questions.
"This" should be a magic circle! "Roben replied vaguely;
"Magic circle? Should?" Metz was even more puzzled. Robben was still holding a pen in his hand. This was obviously still being revised just now.
"Didn't you paint this? Why should it be?"
"Yao!" Robben placed the pen between his thumb and index finger and gently ran it, as if thinking about how to answer.
"If I say, I am showing a magic circle, do you believe it?"
"Believe!"
"Believe?"
"Ok!"
"Uh, all right! This. The magic circle is made for the airship!" Robben picked up the pen and tapped the parchment on the table.
"I looked at the flying dynamic array on the airship, and felt that some areas could be improved, so I tried it?"
This time it was Metz's turn to be a little surprised. Because Robben still looks like 800.
"You said, modify the magic circle on the airship?" Mace couldn't help grabbing the parchment on the table, and saw the ghost symbols on it seem to be messy.
"I think, at least you can double the airship's power?"
Robben said something that surprised Metz even more!
"Double!?"
"Ok!"
"The route on the snow mountain is more dangerous after all. I think that increasing the degree can reduce some risks. After that, I think I can also make an emergency measure for the airship, lest not everyone will be as lucky as me. of!"
Robben remembered the time he jumped off the airship, and now he knows how lucky he was. If the Green Spirit had a wrong idea and pumped his soul, and then brought his body back, he might have entered Maomao's belly.
"You promised!" Metz put down the parchment in his hand and gently placed it on the table.
"Forget it, just hope the war, don't really come!"
For a moment, both of them were a little silent;
Conscience...
"Roben, I remember that magic is money for thousands of years, and it is taught by gods to humans. There are so many types and quantities of magic. No one has ever been able to learn all the magic, even less than a hundredth, although every mage on the mainland is different. , It is precisely for this reason, but you!"
Robben smiled slightly, and Metz looked hesitant to speak, something shaking in his eyes.
I have to say that Mace's sharpness is very high, just this. "Little Mao strikes. Metz seems to have seen this....One
"Did I modify this circle? I modified the rules established by the gods a thousand years ago, right?"
Robben saw Metz's face begin to feel a bit solemn.
"This is also the main reason why I came back to find you. You didn't seem to disappoint me, but now I have other things to do, so I can finish your work first, and then we will talk in detail. I haven't talked to Sasha and others in detail yet."
As Robben said, he started drawing on the magic circle again, "By the way, my drool is dripping on your clothes!"
Maes lowered his head and saw Maomao biting the corner of his clothes. He might have dreamed of something. The dragon's teeth were so sharp. Maes felt distressed when he saw that his favorite pajamas had been bitten out several times. Gap!
"It can really double the degree!?" Metz quickly pulled the corner of his clothes out of Mao Mao's mouth. He hurriedly turned the chubby hair over his body and asked the little guy to lie down directly on his back, so that finally there was no dripping.
"Well, I think it should be more than that. We'll have breakfast in a while, and we'll know by trying!"
Robben sketched a few more strokes on the parchment, looked left and right, nodded slightly, and felt almost done.
With a flash of light in his hand, a book with a thick black cover appeared in Robben's hands. He laid the book flat on the table without opening the pages, and Robben carefully looked at the pattern on the parchment. .
Metz stared blankly at Robben looking at the parchment unhurriedly, then closed his eyes and meditated for a while, keeping his hand on the black book, his fingers flicking with his brows from time to time.
"Well! Almost, that should be it!" Finally, Robben stared at the parchment on the table. Said a nonsense.
Metz was silent and sat quietly opposite Robben. She naturally didn't know what Robben wanted to do, and she didn't see the slightest clue on the parchment like a ghost symbol.
Slowly, Mace showed a surprised expression?
The hand that Robben pressed on the black book was gradually shining. To be precise, countless lights were converging on Robben's hand from the air.
The sun had just risen, and the light sprinkled on the deck seemed to be forcibly sucked away by Robben's hand, in the strong light. Metz felt a little dark all around.
"Close your eyes, you are not used to it!" The light turned bright, and Robben's figure had been engulfed by this really strong light, and Robben's gentle voice came from the light group.
Metz still closed his eyes, and Maomao still fell asleep.
The light quickly dissipated, and Metz secretly opened one eye, and saw Liben turning the pages of the black book wingedly.
"Roben! What are you doing!?"
"That, it's just the shape of the magic circle. I was sealing the magic circle just now!" Robben continued to turn the pages of the book in his hand.
"Seal" seal magic! "Metz looked at Robben's casual look, and was really surprised. If you want to seal magic, you need a mage to not be disturbed under certain conditions. But "just sit here, there is someone on the opposite side, Luo Ben was talking to himself just now!
"Yeah! That's right, it seems that this is the way to go!" Robben turned the book to the last page and smiled satisfied.
Metz was stunned, "Roben, can you show me that book?"
Robben then handed the book to Metz.
Turning to the first page and touching the paper, it turned out that the magic scroll in the magic scroll was a black magic circle on the page. It looked like a ghost symbol. Maes glanced at the table and that The patterns on the parchment are exactly the same.
Turning to the second page, the same magic circle, the third page "the whole book, hundreds of pages, are all this magic circle.
Mace raised his head in amazement. In the cool air in the early morning, Mace broke out in a cold sweat. The pattern on the parchment, Robben just modified several places in front of him, and in this black book , All the patterns are exactly the same as those on the parchment paper.
In other words, Robben completed hundreds of such magic circle seals instantly, how is this possible!
This is also a new idea that Robben just came up with. Since he can release the magic circle in the book without opening the page, he should also be able to seal the magic. After Robben thought about it, he experimented directly and it was really successful.
"Metz?" Robben shook his hand in front of Metz's eyes, and Metz seemed a little lost. The look in his own eyes is somewhat out of focus.
"Uh! It's okay!" Metz suddenly recovered, and immediately closed the book in his hand and prepared to return it to Robben?
"Ashamed Soul Imprisonment Law"
On the cover of the book, the same black embossed characters flashed into Metz's eyes in the sun.
Undead magic!
Mace could hardly hold the book in his hand.
"Mace, are you uncomfortable? His face is so ugly, isn't it cold?" Robben saw Maes pale and took off his coat and put it on Maes.
Robben is used to collect magic books. They are all taken casually in the ring, no matter what is written on your cover, Robben will throw away the contents, leaving only the thick cover.
Although it's just the cover of the book~EbookFREE.me~, it's just a magic scroll, but why is the cover of the Undead Spellbook in Robben's hands?
Suddenly, there was a weird thought in Metz's heart. The person in front of him who had been waiting for death with him under countless chains and chains, unknowingly, had already been far away from him.
"Roben! I asked you to eat, but I couldn't find you in the bedroom! It turned out to be this, and this. Fox!"
Salsa was still holding a spoon in her hand, and she was pointing at Metz aggressively at this time. Su was still following behind her, and her eyes in the mid-autumn sunshine were looking at Robben and Metz with some playfulness.
Metz was still sitting on the chair with his knees, wearing a nightgown, bare feet, and Robben's coat.
Is closed.
