Chapter 131 We are all too weak
"Long-haired mongoose, if it is raised together since childhood, it will definitely become a 2-ring phantom beast in the future." Muhans Black Snake looked at the small pocket on Duke's shoulder and praised.
He himself is a 2-ring Phantom Beast Knight, so he naturally knows a lot about Phantom Beasts.
"What a spiritually favored boy." Philibel couldn't stop admiring, "With this little guy, he's guaranteed to be a 2-ring Phantom Beast Knight."
"But with Duke's talent, ring 2 should not be his limit." Mudis Black Snake said, he is Muhansi's younger brother.
is also a 1st ring Arcanist.
He was in charge of the Black Snake Mercenary Group, who often traveled in the forest and discovered the spiritual spring of Cuihai Valley.
Thus came the current Cuihai Valley development war.
"Several rings don't mean much to me now. I'm already very satisfied to step into the field of spiritual mysticism and study extraordinary power in depth." Duke said humbly.
The high priest said gently: "You will become a great arcanist."
"I would like to borrow your good words."
"If you need anything outside, just tell us that the children in Snake Head Town are promising, just like our Black Snake family's own children are promising." The high priest looked at Duke, and his tone became more gentle, "The town will always be your home."
Even though he knew that the Black Snake Clan was wooing him, after hearing what the high priest said, Duke still felt warm in his heart.
responded with a smile: "I grew up here, and it was the Black Snake Family who protected me growing up. No matter where I go, this is my home."
After chatting, it's getting late.
Philibel is about to return to Shenjiao City, Duke naturally has to go back with her, otherwise he can only squeeze the black beetle car to Shenjiao City tomorrow.
"Duke, your status is different now, and you need some assistants to live in the city." Mayor Mu Hansi recommended Mu Lali, "Mu Lali is a student in Shenjiao City. She is familiar with all aspects of Shenjiao City and can help you with some chores."
"This..." Duke was about to decline.
He is very clear about the "ulterior motives" of the Black Snake family.
But Muhans quickly interrupted his refusal: "Staying by your side will allow Mu Lali to learn more. In addition, I personally have 10% of the dry shares in the Black Snake Spirit Gold Factory. I plan to give you 3% of the dry shares as Mu Lali's study expenses."
"this…"
Although the Black Snake Spirit Gold Factory is not a big company, it owns several mines within the fiefdom of Sheshou Town, and can smelt a large amount of Spirit Gold every year. It is the largest industry of the Black Snake family.
Three percent of dry stocks, the annual dividends are definitely quite a lot.
Duke resisted the temptation, and declined: "I can't accept this, Mayor Muhansi, you won't be rewarded for nothing. I have already accepted the meeting gift from you and the high priest, and I really can't accept it anymore."
"This is not a gift for you, it's just Mu Lali's tuition." Muhansi said firmly, "This is my father's consideration for my daughter. I hope you can understand."
Speaking of this.
If you continue to decline, you will lose face to Mu Hansi.
Duke could only reluctantly accept this gift: "I will teach Mu Lali with all my heart, but I'm not very knowledgeable, so I'm afraid I'm not a famous teacher."
"You are a genius Arcane Master. With your teaching, Mu Lali will definitely improve a lot. Of course, if Mu Lali is too stupid, just let everything go by chance."
After Mu Hans finished speaking, he patted his daughter on the shoulder.
Mulali seemed a little shy, lowered her head and said, "Mr. Duke, please take care of me."
It was a gift of shares and a gift of his daughter. Duke was really overwhelmed for a while, and responded politely: "Let's make progress together."
As an assistant, Mu Lali studied with Duke and took on some daily chores.
Duke bid farewell to the high priest, the mayor and others, took his female assistant, Mu Lali, and followed Philibel to leave the Black Snake Manor and head for the airship Winging.
Watching the car drive away from the manor.
Muhans seemed to be touched inexplicably, and sighed inexplicably.
High Priest Murand looked at his nephew and asked in a relaxed tone, "Why are you bothered?"
"Third Uncle..." Mu Hansi opened his mouth, struggling, "Is it really necessary? Although Mu Lali is just a daughter, but... she is well-behaved and sensible. Sasha and I have always liked her."
"I also like the granddaughter Mu Lali very much." Muland tidied up his arcane mage robes, "Our Black Snake family is too weak, and there are no good seedlings in the younger generation, so we can only look for suitable help from outside."
"But...Duke is just a ring 1 arcanist."
"So what, I came from a level 1 arcane mage, and your grandfather also came from a level 1 arcane mage. In the end, your grandfather founded our Black Snake family and left a rich and beautiful food for our descendants... Besides, Duke is from Snake Head Town, which is stronger than any bond."
"I know, it just kind of... feels like selling my daughter."
"This is not selling a daughter, this is Mu Lali's good fortune. And it's just a daughter. You and Sasha are both young, and you can have ten or eight more."
"Forehead…"
Mu Hansi knot.
Mulland looked up at the eastern sky. The Meandering has already lifted off and is slowly speeding towards the east. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If the news of the spiritual spring in the Emerald Sea Valley hadn't leaked, our Black Snake family could have developed it silently!"
Mu Hansi shook his head: "Third Uncle, you don't have to worry about it anymore. The news will always spread. If you abandon it earlier, you will get rid of right and wrong earlier."
"That's not what I said. If it was given to the chief executive of Keyston, or the three chief directors of Williams, Irwin, and Stephen Maverick, they would be responsible for right and wrong... However, the leadership of the pioneering war was snatched by Bernoulli in Anger City..."
"Bernoulli's administration promised us that he would firmly support the Black Snake family."
"The big man promises a lot, but how can he put all his hopes in the care of others, he must strengthen himself, so that he can have enough confidence to fight for benefits."
"I'm too weak to support the family." Muhans was a little disappointed. Although he was a 2-ring Phantom Beast Knight, he was still weak compared to the Arcane Mage.
Mulland said lightly: "No, we are all too weak."
…
The airship arrived at Oruchi Mage Tower, and then Duke and his party took the shuttle and went directly to Faling Tower.
The arcanist hall on the fifteenth floor only allows arcanist masters to stay, so Duke must find a good place to live for Murali and Levin.
"Tomorrow we will go to Beverly Manor to buy a house, and tonight you will stay in a nearby hotel for one night."
Levine naturally let Duke arrange without saying a word.
Mulali said: "Mr. Duke, my aunt lives in Beverly Manor. I can borrow a night there and ask how many houses are for sale in Beverly Manor."
"Really, yes." Duke nodded in agreement.
Although Mu Lali is his assistant in name, it is impossible for him to treat her as an ordinary assistant when the Black Snake family gives away farms, stores, and shares.
He feels that he and Mu Lali are more like a cooperative relationship, so he is willing to give the other party a certain amount of freedom.
Send Mu Lali away.
Duke called to Levin: "Let's go, let's go to the Arcanist Hall for dinner."
After the third shift, ask for a monthly ticket~
