Chapter 68: Chapter 68 One-time Deal
...
(Two Chapters were automatically scheduled this morning, making it a total of 10 Chapters today (´・_・`))
The ball had not yet begun, and Titan, accompanied by Lin Suo, strolled around the castle, introducing him to the heritage of the Migaron family.
Show of strength!
As expected, the cunning fox was soon to take the bait.
Indeed.
The two walked to the balcony, where Titan picked up two glasses of red wine from a long table.
"Lord Rhein, please try the wine made from Bertoskin grapes."
"Thank you."
Lin Suo took the wine glass, sipped lightly, noting that the wine, unlike typical ones which often have a bitter and unpleasant tannic taste of grape skins, was extraordinary.
This Golden Wine had no hint of bitterness but was rich in fruity aroma with a hint of sweetness, less like wine and more like a modern cocktail.
It was the kind of drink that most people could appreciate, especially appealing to the noble ladies.
"How is it?"
"Rich and mellow, refreshing to the soul."
"Do you like it, Mr. Rhein? Would you care for more Golden Wine?"
"Does His Highness mean..."
Titan put down his wine glass and walked to the front of the balcony. Due to the high vantage point, he could see the distant coastline even from the Upper City.
Under the dark and vast backdrop, he was enshrouded in an aura of nonentity— an aura called power!
"The Bertoskin grapes originate from Bertos Kingdom, whose king, conferred by Dan Dong as a Prince, is also my uncle."
"Bertos is located in the north, serving as the Empire’s frontline defense against the Frost Giants and Polar Trolls, protecting the Dan Dong Region for thousands of years."
"Next February, my cousin is to be married to me."
"What do you say, should some gifts be sent?"
Lin Suo nodded in agreement.
"Does His Highness mean, my rice variety would be suitable?"
"Rhein, you are a clever man."
"If your Highness wishes, all the harvest next season will be sent as seeds to Bertos Kingdom in the name of Migaron’s eldest son."
"Hahaha, very well."
Titan patted Lin Suo’s shoulder, extremely satisfied.
However, Lin Suo hadn’t finished his words yet.
"But..."
"I’ve recently encountered some minor troubles, would His Highness Titan be willing to lend me a hand?"
Reciprocity is the cornerstone for maintaining relations, and Lin Suo’s identity as a Wizard was no secret to these nobles.
To prevent Lin Suo from asking too much, Titan quickly set his limits.
"As long as it’s nothing related to the knowledge lockdown, I am willing to assist."
Lin Suo had anticipated this.
The rice variety was just a secondary product he offered, whose primary use was to fill the stomach. Bertos Kingdom had recently suffered from a cold disaster, managing temporarily with logistics, but it could only last until next year at most.
With a whole kingdom at stake, there were many ways to solve the problem.
Giving a man fish is not as sustaining as teaching him to fish. Titan saw the value in Lin Suo’s rice variety, with high yield and rich nutrition, suitable as a staple food for lower-tier Knights.
Enough to solve the problem once and for all.
As for soil fertility, that was easy to handle; normal fertility was sufficient.
Lin Suo’s purchase of land on the outskirts had been thoroughly investigated by them over time.
Including his identity as a "Silver Fish Village man."
The situation with the lurking Purple Orchid, wielding a slaughter knife behind, was known to no one better than him, and under implicit conditions, Lin Suo unsurprisingly made a decision that matched Titan’s expectations.
"I hope to obtain a noble title, as per regulations."
The emphasis was on the regulations.
What are the rules? Pay up!
Lin Suo doesn’t ask to directly exchange for a title, he buys it!
What Titan needs to do is to act like a guarantor, to expand channels for Lin Suo and tacitly allow the use of Migaron family’s influence to gain due benefits.
This behavior is actually akin to surrendering, walking through Migaron’s connections, naturally getting branded the same.
This part, just as before.
It was anticipated!
But to obtain a more comprehensive knowledge, taking the initiative to speak is stronger than being asked by others.
Titan understood Lin Suo’s hint.
His smile grew even wider.
Warmly clutched his shoulder.
"Rhein, you are a bona fide Dan Dong native, this is just a small matter, make sure to come to my next birthday party."
"Thank you."
The discussion was concluded.
Lin Suo also breathed a sigh of relief. The struggle among Dan Dong nobility has an interesting part, whether victorious or defeated, only the core forces would be removed.
For half-affiliated cooperative forces like Lin Suo, it wouldn’t cause much damage; paying off, switching allegiance, and settling would suffice.
At this stage, what he wants is trivial and not worth fighting fiercely for.
He wants nobility status mostly to prevent persecution from domestic wizard powers; blood relatives are always the strongest bonds in this nation.
Now, this bond has transformed into a class, that is, the noble class, the true rulers of the Empire, hanging by a thread, was sufficient for him to benefit for a long time.
It was also a safeguard for accumulating wealth.
The two came down from the upper floor, sent Lin Suo back to the main site of the party, and Titan left. This party transaction with Lin Suo was just the beginning; more people awaited to discuss business with the future Migaron helmsman.
Socializing, indeed, is an important platform for realizing various goals.
Learned something new again.
Casually tried some delicacies at the self-service table, Lin Suo felt the cream sauce was good, it’s mine now.
Eating and drinking, observing the noble young ladies rarely seen on regular days.
When preparing to leave.
Migaron’s housekeeper arranged a luxury carriage and dispatched two beautiful maidservants to send him back.
This delivery lasted till the next day.
Arrangements like Lin Suo’s were not uncommon; he couldn’t just brush off people’s faces right after establishing cooperation, feeling right at home!
Rarely enjoyed such a privilege of ’first night’.
When sending off, Lin Suo cheerfully asked them to bring more sisters next time.
The 30,000 horsepower engine has been upgraded to 50,000 horses.
Best if it’s a Knight, those with exotic bloodlines also work, at least the fields won’t go barren~
The party’s proceedings, drew to a close.
Lin Suo thought he would have a peaceful period.
But just a few days later, a major event occurred in Koster, as impactful as the destruction of the Late Bell Church, causing a huge stir in the wizarding circles.
The underground black market.
Lin Suo came as usual to buy the body of a three-eyed octopus, only to find on opening day there were merely a dozen people, all from Fierce Bear and Marian.
Inside the tent.
"Can’t continue?"
Lin Suo asked in surprise.
Marian, sporting a horn, looked helpless.
"Didn’t you hear? The deep-sea pollution from Late Bell Island has spread, one of the Ocean Academy’s official wizards got cursed."
"Became the new source of the Eternal Drowner..."
"White Tower and Ocean Academy have already publicized two Purification Witchcrafts, conscripting all Wild Witches to the island for cleansing."
"Conscripting?"
Lin Suo frowned, disbelieving. Although Wild Witches are negligible, they possess enormous destructive power; if they desperately damage Koster.
It’s absolutely not something two forces can handle.
