Chapter 69 Visit
With the idea of solving the problem, Atlam discussed it with Mike again and came up with a wonderful solution.
Then the two of them took action separately, and Atlam rode a magic motorcycle to the Duke's territory.
Mike stayed and continued to help Uncle Mokado.
...
In the afternoon of that day.
Atlam, who rode an hour to motorcycle, saw a medium-sized city, which was the mansion of the Duke... The city population is about 200,000.
In the heart of the city, there is also a tall castle.
Obviously, this is Atlam's destination - Duke Castle.
How to get there?
How to meet the Duke and the Duke's son - the Level 4 Magic Net Walker.
Very simple.
Buy an expensive and gorgeous set of clothing, equipped with several valuable equipment, and then hire two attendants temporarily... After the entire set of expenses, there were less than 10 golden tower shields.
Then, I brought several "pocket watches", "short-barrel muskets", "multi-functional sabers" and other items brought from the Orunian Empire as gifts, and took the initiative to visit the Duke's Mansion.
With his identity as a magic net walker and his fellow members of the Blue Hand Guild, how could the other party keep him out?
This is exactly the case.
When he heard a magic net walker visiting the door, the Duke's Mansion attached great importance to it and did not dare to neglect it at all. The butler immediately respectfully invited Atlam, the "adult" to the Duke's Mansion.
Sitting in the living room and waiting for a while, only half of the tea in his hand was drunk, Duke Robert put down his official duties and came to entertain himself.
"The Duke is courteous."
Atlam put down the teacup and quickly stood up and gave a gift.
"Go to visit, please feel free to give me a gift!"
Duke Robert was very enthusiastic and kind.
At this time, Atlam also found that the loyalty and treacherousness in this world were difficult to distinguish. He had previously thought that this ruthless Duke had either pooped heavily and had a bad face; or had an ugly appearance and a vulgar manner. But at first sight, Duke Robert not only had a good appearance, elegant manners, but also polite and enthusiastic hospitality.
It gives people the feeling that it is very decent.
If it was the first time meeting and those who did not know the Duke's background would probably be confused by his decent appearance.
Of course, even though he knew the details of Duke Robert, Atlam still kept silent, talked to him happily, and gave him a few gifts he brought.
A gilded pocket watch.
A short-barrel musket.
A scabbard is exquisite, like a multi-functional saber of handicrafts.
And introduced them one by one.
"Dude, this is a precision pocket watch produced from the Orunian Empire. The watch has 12 scales, representing 12 hours, and sometimes three hands in the minute and second. The shortest is the hour hand and the longest is the second hand... This watch divides a day into 24 hours, each hour into 60 minutes, and each minute into 60 seconds. Every step of the second hand indicates that the time has passed... The watch has a very high accuracy, with no more than 1 second every day. It is driven by mechanical spring charging, which is not only waterproof, but also has a low light night vision function, and can view the time on the watch at any time."
"This short-barrel musket was given to the son of the Duke, Master Salotha. I heard that Master Salotha likes hunting. The musket I brought is a magic weapon for hunting. It is very powerful. Within twenty steps, it can kill a large beast. It has average accuracy and can also be used for self-defense. In short, as long as it is used well, Master Salotha should like this gadget very much."
"There is also this multi-functional saber dedicated to the field, which is also given to Master Salosha. It has many functions. In addition to ordinary cutting and chopping, there are some serrations on the back of the knife, which can be sawed with smaller diameters. There is a layer of ignition coating on the surface of the knife. It can produce a large amount of Mars by rubbing against the stones. In addition, the knife has a very good quality and will never rust. Even if it is used frequently, it can be used for more than ten years."
Hear these introductions.
Duke Robert became restless, his face was extremely surprised, but he waved his hands and refused.
"It's so precious. These gifts are so precious!"
"Take it back, take it back quickly. I can't collect it, I will never collect it!"
Robert still has some insight, and none of these three things are cheap.
Take that pocket watch for example. Robert knew that it was a pocket watch produced in the Orunian Empire. It has been very popular among the aristocratic class in the past two years and is the most fashionable tool to show off wealth. The small piece is worth more than a million pearls.
Robert also considered buying a piece, then taking it out at a noble party, pretending to find someone to match the time, and appreciating the embarrassment on the faces of those nobles who had no watch.
Robert had encountered such an embarrassment several times. At that moment, he wanted to cut people a little, and he also tried to ask the butler to buy two pocket watches.
but……
The price of millions of pearls is enough for him to raise 100,000 troops for a year, and he is reluctant to take out the money.
Now there is a distinguished guest coming to the door and taking the initiative to send a pocket watch. It is impossible for Robert to say he is not moved.
As for the short-barrel musket and multi-functional saber, although its value is not as good as a pocket watch, from its exquisite packaging and the appearance of various gems inlaid, it can be judged that the value of both items is more than 100,000 beads.
The unfamiliar distinguished guest who came to visit him in front of him was so generous that Duke Robert was really surprised.
"Please accept it!"
Atlam explained:
"I came to visit this time because I heard that the son was outstanding in talent and had a very high cultivation level. It is said that he was called "the first in the kingdom". This time I visited him to make friends with the son, communicate with each other, and discuss with him, so that his cultivation would improve... So I hope that the Duke would accept the gift as my uninvited gift and my sincerity in hope of making friends with the son."
Hear these explanations.
Duke Robert nodded and immediately understood.
In this era, due to insufficient information, it is very normal and common for practitioners to communicate, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses. The similar truth of "three people must have my teacher" is everywhere.
Robert did not object to this kind of communication and exchange, because he often did this when he was young, and many people often came to him to discuss.
He was not worried about the strange man in front of him. On the surface, he was just a exchange and exchange, but in fact he was going to play a house to defeat his son and sweep away his son Salosha's face as the "first in the kingdom".
If your son loses, it will just suppress his spirit and let him know that there is a heaven outside of heaven and don’t be too proud.
If his son wins, then continue to promote externally and continuously increase the value of his "kingdom number one".
But for some reason, Robert actually had a little hope that someone would appear and defeat his son... Because since he became an adult, the boy became more and more rebellious and disobeyed his words. He often did his own way and went out to hunt for ten days and half a month. He ignored many of his arrangements at all. He criticized him for a few words and kept talking back to him, saying that he was "old" and "don't worry about me anymore".
So here comes the thought.
Duke Robert gently placed the gilded pocket watch in his pocket, and the "short-barrel musket" and "multi-functional saber" also made the servants put away.
And ordered the butler:
"But, arrange a top-notch guest room, arrange the smartest servants to serve, and the distinguished guests must respond to every request and must not be neglected at all!"
"Yes, Master!"
