My wizarding career begins on Earth

Chapter 218 Looks like a bandit

Guest suite.

A white carriage drove up and stopped in front of the gate. Andiso walked out of the carriage with his son and daughter.

"It is indeed Viscount McKinxiang's banquet, and the people who came here are extraordinary." Andiso just happened to see Lu He being led in by McKinxiang himself, and sighed in admiration.

"Have you seen that person? On the surface, he is dressed in ordinary clothes and looks ordinary. In fact, he is also the same."

Her father's words made Su Nan roll her eyes. She recognized that the man was the guy who just laughed at her brother.

"But this person's manners and habits are very concise. He hasn't said a word until now. It's obvious that he doesn't like to waste time. If such a person is a noble, he will definitely not be a minor noble. Ordinary noble children cannot develop this kind of behavior. a habit."

"Does that mean this guy is awesome?" Ham next to him asked half-understanding.

"She should be pretty awesome." Su Nan nodded.

In fact, she couldn't tell what was so awesome about the man, but she could tell that the red-haired woman who looked like a guard following him was unusual, and the aura emanating from her made her feel uneasy.

Entering the castle, in the surrounding gardens, guests were standing and chatting everywhere, most of them young noble men and women.

There are also some powerful children of merchants, holding wine glasses with each other, behaving elegantly, talking and laughing politely.

After Viscount McKinxiang led Lu He into the castle, he apologized and left, saying that he was going to receive another distinguished guest.

Lu He declined the housekeeper's invitation and took Yerette around for a walk.

In the spacious hall, crystal chandeliers emit soft and bright light, reflecting on the huge windows with stained glass, revealing colorful colors.

Everything you see is elegant and luxurious decoration, the floor is covered with deep purple carpets, and long tables are filled with sumptuous dishes.

There are dedicated waiters on both sides pouring wine for the guests, and various rich aromas fill the entire space, making people salivate.

Lu He ordered a glass. It was a beautiful red translucent liquid. It tasted pretty good, mellow and long.

The hall is filled with aristocratic celebrities, ruling officials, etc. who hold real power, getting close to each other, discussing cooperation, or chatting about imperial policies and major affairs of neighboring countries.

Several people also talked about his revenge.

Lu He felt bored after listening to a few words, so he started to pull Yerette to eat.

There was a lot of food on the table, including golden roasted suckling pig, fruit milk, vegetable salad, soft white bread, and even Lu He's favorite beef and eggplant porridge.

Ask the waiter for two bowls and spoons, and give one to Yerette. After filling the porridge, he asked the waiter to help pick up a plate of roast suckling pig, and then found a corner to sit down and taste it carefully.

He was in no hurry to go to Viscount McKinxiang to discuss purchasing their family collection.

It will take a while anyway.

The banquet hasn't started yet. It would be in line with the etiquette in his heart to wait until the banquet has gone on for a while.

If we say now that if Viscount McKinsey is unwilling to trade, if he wants to buy it by force, the scene will be very ugly.

Under the wide-eyed gaze of the waiter, Lu He ate up the roasted suckling pig in just a few mouthfuls. When he wanted to get a plate of lamb chops to taste, the banquet started and he had to give up.

Viscount McKinxiang began to formally host the banquet, stood on the stage and delivered a welcome speech, and then the invited team of musicians played soothing and pleasant classical music.

Then a tall, thin, white-haired old man came into the arena being supported by two boys and girls, one on the left and the other on the right.

Skip the boy.

Lu He glanced at the girl.

Wearing a long white waist skirt, she is not very beautiful, but her black hair is very similar to his. The exposed collarbone is graceful and there is a hint of purity and clarity in her eyes.

Lu He ordered a glass of green fruit wine with ice cubes.

Seeing that Yerette was watching with great interest, he stopped her from following and walked to the balcony on the side of the hall alone.

Everyone gathered in the lobby. This was a relatively remote balcony. I thought there was no one there, but what Lu He didn't expect was that someone was already standing here before him.

Under the pale white moonlight, the black crescent moon on her face glowed coldly, adding a sense of mystery.

Su Nan was lying on the railing and looking at the sparkling lake in the distance. When she heard the footsteps behind her, she looked back, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Sorry to bother you, I didn't expect anyone here."

Lu He smiled slightly.

"It doesn't matter." Su Nan shook her head, "You didn't like that kind of lively environment, so you came out?"

Lu He nodded, then stopped talking and leaned on the railing, looking at the scenery in the distance.

The lake is beautiful under the moonlight. The moon shines on the lake, and the lake is colorful and dotted with stars.

The arrow tower in the distance lit up, forming a beating yellow line in the night. His eyesight was very good, and he could see two guards on the arrow tower arguing fiercely about something.

A hint of curiosity arose in Su Nan's heart.

This person was actually indifferent to her. She was very confident in her appearance and temperament, because since she was a child, there were very few men who didn't take a second look at her.

Play hard to get?

She tilted her head and rested it on her arm. The crescent mark on her side face became even deeper under the moonlight, and she asked softly:

"Are you also here to apply for the Viscount's son-in-law?"

"Applying for a job?" Lu He couldn't help but smile, "No, I came to him to discuss business."

"Business?" Su Nan was a little surprised. How could anyone come to discuss business during a banquet at the host's house?

"Is it a medicine business? The medicines of the McKinxiang family are indeed very good. Whether they are grown by themselves or picked in Dawn Forest, the quality is very good."

"But you look like..." Su Nan looked Lu He up and down, "You don't look like a businessman."

"Oh? Why doesn't it look like it?" Lu He asked curiously.

"Wearing all black, he looks like a bandit." Su Nan commented, and couldn't help laughing after speaking.

She had a beautiful smile, with the corners of her mouth raised and her eyes narrowed into an arc, reflecting the crescent moon on her cheek.

Lu He chuckled and changed the subject, "Do you know much about the McKinxiang family?"

"It's just so so. In fact, we are here to discuss business with him, not to apply for a son-in-law." Su Nan explained.

"Really??" Lu He looked unbelieving.

When he came out, he saw the boy with the red slut pushing his way to the front of the crowd, beaming at the girl.

Su Nan immediately became anxious when she saw his look.

"My family runs a pharmacy. Their family's Qi-boosting potions are sold very well in Black Refining City. There are many such potions on the market, but the blacksmiths like to use theirs. Maybe because the output is limited, we can only get some. It was a very small share, so my father took this opportunity to talk about it.”

"I don't believe it." Lu He still didn't believe it. He looked at the girl and didn't expect that she came from Black Lian City.

Black Lian City is a city to the west of Xiangmu City, not very far away, and belongs to the Feiyi Empire.

The geography and climate there are unique, and there are many naturally formed rock fire caves. It is a natural iron-making place and has been famous for its rich production of various hand-made weapons since ancient times.

It is said that there are rich metal mineral deposits underground. The Crescent Empire fought fiercely with the Flying Wing Empire several times because of this a long time ago, but in the end they were unable to capture it and had to give up.

Su Nan rolled her eyes at him, and when she was about to speak, she heard footsteps suddenly coming from behind her.

"Count Sauron, I didn't expect you to be here. I've been looking for you for a long time. If I hadn't seen your female guard, I would have thought you had left early."

"Sasha, my name is...brother Sauron."

It was Carol, Viscount McKinxiang, who came over with his daughter looking radiant, followed by Yerette.

Shasha glanced at him shyly, bowed her knees and performed a lady's salute, moved her lips but did not shout.

"This kid is usually very polite, but I don't know what happened today." Carol pretended to be angry and scolded him.

"It's okay, kid." Lu He said with a smile.

Sauron... Count?

Su Nan's beautiful eyes turned to stare at Lu He, and she became increasingly curious. This young man who seemed to be about the same age as her brother turned out to be the earl of the Crescent Empire.

And judging from Viscount McKinxiang's attitude, this Earl should still be a very awesome Earl.

Su Nan sighed in his heart, his father was really accurate in judging people.

She just thought this person was strange. She felt that his maid was not simple, but she did not expect that she was actually an earl.

Carol bowed her head and explained a few words.

Shasha nodded obediently, saluted Lu He again, turned and left.

"Good evening, Lord Viscount." Su Nan acted neither humble nor overbearing when facing his only supplier.

Carol glanced at her and nodded lightly, not paying much attention to the merchant's daughter. Apart from her beauty, her impression of her was her brown candy-like younger brother.

What he values ​​​​is the young earl in front of him.

The recent mass murder of two nobles in Xiangmu City has been rumored a lot, and there are many speculations. Some people even say that it was his McKinxiang family who did it.

Carol was so angry that she couldn't speak.

All those who spread rumors were arrested, beaten and tortured, but unfortunately nothing was found in the end.

No matter what the outside world said, he was one of the few people in the city who knew the truth behind it. He is the ordinary-looking young man in front of him.

He couldn't judge the right or wrong of this matter. After all, it was the Savoy and Bach families who provoked the Soros family first, and then went to other people's territory to bully the underage Earl Sauron.

but……

The Earl of Sauron's revenge was too cruel.

He immediately sent people to check the scene, and it was a true massacre, not even a chicken was spared.

Seeing Carol's attitude, Su Nan was not angry, and still had a smile on his face.

She turned around and lay on the railing, looking quietly at the maple forest hidden in the darkness in the distance of the castle. The black crescent moon on her face became deeper, like a deep and dark black hole.

Lu He glanced at her with interest, then put down the goblet of fruit wine that he had already finished drinking in his hand, and asked:

"Viscount Carroll, where is the party?"

Carol was stunned for a moment and replied: "There is a dance going on now. If you are interested, Count Sauron can go and have fun."

Lu He smiled and shook his head, thinking that his etiquette was almost completed.

So he said straight to the point:

"Viscount Carroll, I came to the banquet because I have a business I want to discuss with you."

"Oh? What business?" Carol became curious, not knowing what kind of business Zoro wanted to discuss with him.

Because the Soros family mainly deals in spices and steel smelting, etc., it has nothing to do with their family.

Su Nan also looked over at this time, with no intention of avoiding him, as if he wanted to eavesdrop on business secrets.

"I heard that the McKinxiang family has a collection of precious medicinal materials and exotic plants. I want to take a look and buy some on the way."

Lu He smiled.

Carol's face suddenly became extremely ugly, she stared at him and said slowly: "Are you kidding me?"

Su Nan was also stunned.

Seeing Lu He's dull expression, she felt speechless and wanted to say something.

Brother, what kind of business are you doing?

You are robbing me.

Who would go directly to someone else's house and tell the owner to take out all the treasures you have collected and show them to me? If I see them right, you can give them to me.

Lu He shook his head: "I'm not joking, I really want to do this business with the McKinxiang family."

Carol suddenly laughed angrily.

The family's collection of medicinal materials and rare and exotic objects is their greatest wealth. It has been accumulated over many generations. No one is allowed to see it, and not many people know about it.

Now Zoro not only wants to see it, but also wants to buy it. He thinks that this earl is really underage.

"No, absolutely not!" Carol's eyes flashed with a sharp look, and her tone became extremely harsh.

Lu He frowned slightly, did he really want to be a bandit? He had no prejudice against this profession, but it just didn't sound good to him.

He looked at Carol again and asked seriously: "I'll give you another chance. You can answer me after you think about it."

There was an aura of danger in the air, and Su Nan could feel the lurking murderous intent without looking back.

Carol was a knight, and the murderous intent coming from behind made his scalp numb and his back aching.

He didn't dare to turn around, but he knew it was the female guard!

He didn't even dare to say no. His keen sense told him that as long as he said no, there would be absolutely no good outcome.

I thought the woman was just a show-off for Zoro, but I didn't expect that she was actually a guard, and she was so strong. Just a trace of murderous intent made his life feel extremely threatened.

Lu He smiled, turned around, put his hands on the railing, and looked down.

Near the lake not far away, there was a faint yellow line formed by torches, moving slowly.

Inside the yellow line, several powerful knight-level qi machines rose up in the night, firmly locking onto the balcony.

The air suddenly became solid, the whole place was silent, and even the music coming from the hall gradually disappeared.

Su Nan lowered his head, not even daring to breathe loudly. The crescent mark on his face also became silent, and the blackness seemed to fade away.

Carroll was silent. He counted the knight-level qi machines outside in his mind. After counting them three times, he found that there were still ten, and one of them was very familiar to him, Lieutenant General Frye.

A full ten.

And it was Frye, a bitch, who led the team. Without any further hesitation, he nodded with a heavy heart and said:

"Although it is difficult to do, it is not impossible. Doing business with the Soros family has always been my wish. You took the initiative and now my wish has been fulfilled."

Lu He thought about it for a moment, and finally decided to do business. Just like the previous transaction with Solida Caravan, he would do the valuation, which would be fair and just, and achieve a win-win situation.

"Don't be afraid. It's my people outside who have brought a cart of gold coins. You accept it first, and you can give back more and make up for the less."

"I'm not afraid." Carol's voice was dry.

Su Nan:......

She watched the figures leaving one after the other, and after hesitating for a while, she finally chose not to follow them to watch the fun.

This is really a robbery by bandits. It is dangerous and difficult to watch.

……

As soon as he followed Carol out of the balcony, the old viscount led a group of knights and attendants around him.

The hall was empty. Listening to the sounds outside, the guests had all moved to the garden outside.

"Little Zoro, you broke the rules!"

The old Viscount had a loud voice, exuding the aura of a knight, and was not at all old and feeble when he appeared on the stage.

Lu He's face darkened. He hated hearing others say he was young, no matter how young he was or how young he was.

Stretch out your right hand and press forward.

Countless red lights appeared out of thin air quickly and condensed into a red palm as tall as a person. With extremely intense heat, it silently pressed towards the old Viscount.

Facing the sudden and strong danger, the old Viscount's whole body was stimulated with energy. As soon as he raised his arm to block it, the handprint carrying violent power came to him.

boom!

With a loud noise, the old Viscount was knocked away by the impact of the handprint, and after landing, it dragged long traces on the ground.

He was not seriously injured, but the energy and blood in his body were chaotic, his clothes were burned, and his white hair disappeared.

"Grandpa!" Shasha suddenly ran out from behind the pillar in the hall and supported the old Viscount, her voice trembling.

Lu He crossed his arms on his chest and looked calmly at Shasha, who was staring at him hatefully.

The hand of a level 0 mage, of the fire element system.

Since he decided to trade, Lu He had no intention of killing anyone, so he used the auxiliary magician's hand to teach him a lesson.

The power is not bad, mainly because he has a deep understanding of the fire element and has strengthened the corresponding mage's hand. If he had used other elements, the old Viscount would not be so embarrassed.

"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings! Father, Count Sauron wants to do business with us, so don't be impulsive."

Carol shouted with a pale face, and the last bit of luck she held in her heart disappeared.

He originally planned to capture Sauron first, but from this palm he knew that Sauron was very strong, at least stronger than him.

There are only two knights in the castle, namely him and his father, and there are two others who have been guarding the plantation in Dawn Forest for a long time, because it is the lifeblood of the family and must be guarded with heavy troops.

"Business, what business!?"

Carol stepped forward to explain. The old Viscount's face gradually became very ugly, like the face of a dead person.

"Never!!!" he suddenly roared.

Carol made a sign of the cross with her hands.

Then he whispered a few words into the old Viscount's ear, and finally nodded heavily in his doubtful eyes.

"It's not impossible..."

Lu He had lost his patience and was about to take action when he heard the old Viscount's words and smiled with satisfaction.

The deal is done.

Su Nan cautiously walked out of the balcony. Just as he was about to sneak out quietly, he suddenly paused when he heard the old Viscount's words. He felt that his father was not accurate at all.

This is not a noble, he is clearly a bandit.

She could see it at a glance from the balcony.
