Start As a Lord In a Viscount

Claire's hand slid a few times at the mouth of the cup, and decided to cut in from another place, lest the other party know his intention all at once, and it would be difficult to talk about it later.

"Madam, how is the archmage I introduced to you the other day?"

Sophia picked up the goblet and sipped the red wine in it, and said lightly, "Kill it."

The red wine in Claire's hand was turbulent, and he was a little shocked, but he didn't show it. He took a sip of the red wine and asked, "Why did you kill it?"

"Isn't that what you meant?" Sophia said innocently, "If there were no special circumstances, would you suddenly introduce me to an archmage?"

Sophia's body leaned forward slightly, revealing a large piece of snow-white again, and she got close to Claire's face again, and continued: "So I suspect, maybe it was you who encountered some kind of danger, that's why I came up with this strategy to introduce the other party. When you come to me, I naturally want to solve your troubles for you."

Speaking of this, Sophia smiled playfully, "How about it, I'm doing pretty well."

Claire: "..."

He really didn't mean it, otherwise, Hughes would have noticed it when he was connected mentally. Although he thought about it later, it is better to have less than one thing. The letter of introduction written by Claire is very serious, and it is absolutely Nothing is written with a special meaning.

"Just kill it." Claire said lightly.

Anyway, there is no loss for him, just a little melancholy. Sophia's actions made him feel that his credibility was invisibly consumed...

Sophia quietly stretched her hand forward, held Claire's left hand on the table, and said frivolously, "Stop talking about this, let's talk about topics that adults should talk about."

Claire pulled out her hand calmly, "Madam, I'm only sixteen years old this year, you are breaking the law."

Sophia covered her mouth and laughed, "Oh, I blame you for being too mature, I thought you were an adult."

"Are you an adult, Madam?" Claire asked suddenly.

Sophia was stunned for a moment, and the shaking hand of the wine glass also stopped unconsciously, and gave Claire a meaningful look.

But after a while, he suddenly raised his chest and tightened the white hanging skirt he was wearing, and asked with a smile, "My viscount, do you want to personally verify it?"

Claire scolded secretly in her heart, this woman is really unscrupulous.

Forget it, don't continue wrangling with her. The other party has much more experience in this area than herself. As long as she doesn't mention it, she can talk to herself until dawn.

Claire raised her hands, rested her chin lightly on them, and looked at Sophia with a sense of oppression.

"I have a business I would like to talk to you about, madam..."

Sophia directly ignored Claire's little tricks and was not affected at all, and continued to keep a smile on her face: "Lord Viscount said that people have always wanted to do business with you."

Claire simply put away her little tricks and said directly: "Open your chain store and magic store in Nafu City."

Sophia frowned slightly, "This is not a profitable business. The total number of people in the Viscount Griffin is more than 100,000 people, and most of them are civilians. The items in my two stores are not They can afford it..."

Sophia is telling the truth, otherwise Claire wouldn't have to fool Shane to open a tavern and a hotel there before. Opening these two shops in Nafhu City will not make any money at all, that is, Shane and Claire have a good relationship. , Only then did they agree to open the two stores at a loss.

Although Nafu City is thriving now, its consumption power is still unable to keep up. The vast majority of people are still in the stage of food and clothing that has just been solved, and asking them to spend money to buy those expensive things will kill them. Again, it's simply not possible. Moreover, there are mages in Nafu City, including Isaac and Claire, as well as ten mages from the Academy of Sciences below. With this purchasing power, a magic shop is specially opened for them, so let's eat peaches.

This is somewhat similar to the previous Wanda, if the purchasing power of a city is not enough, they will not settle in a city.

"You checked me?" Claire narrowed her eyes.

Sophia didn't care, and said with a smile: "Women are always interested in things they are interested in, and they just want to know more about you."

"It won't lose money." Claire said lightly.

"Oh, what do you say?"

"Since you know it, you must know that the craftsmen in several nearby territories have been recruited by me, right, and many of them can forge magic tools, so if the magic shop is open there It won't lose money."

"This reason is not enough. What I want to open a store is not only a loss, but also a magic store. If another chain store opens, it will definitely make ends meet."

Although Sophia is a viscount and a dear, but when it comes to interests, Claire will never take advantage of it.

Claire's fingertips tapped on the table, and there was a rhythmic tapping sound. He was thinking about whether to tell the other party his plan.

Sophia was not in a hurry and looked at Claire with a smile on her chin.

After a long time, Claire raised her head and looked at Sophia.

"Have you heard the story of the mermaid?" Claire asked.

"Huh?" Sophia shook her head slightly.

"Then let me tell you, a long time ago, in the depths of the vast ocean, there was a mermaid kingdom. The youngest mermaid princess in the kingdom was kind and pure. She lived freely in the sea, and her heart was full of love for the land world. With longing and longing, she finally surfaced from the bottom of the sea on her fifteenth birthday. It was at this time that she happened to meet the human prince who was on a boat and fell into the sea due to a storm. She rescued the prince desperately, and then two more In the process of getting along, the two fell in love.

But the other party is human after all, and is not welcome in the mermaid world, and the two have to separate on the shore. The prince promised the mermaid princess that he would definitely return to his kingdom to make a request with his father, so that he could justifiably marry the mermaid princess. The mermaid princess sent the prince away with great anticipation, but after a year and a year, the prince never came back..."

Claire modified the original story, and this is only a short version, so that Sophia can quickly understand the content of the story.

Claire asked, "How about the story?"

After listening to Sophia, she took out a handkerchief and put it in the corner of her eyes and wiped it a few times, "If I were a little girl, I would probably be moved by this story."

However, this move is more or less pretentious.

Claire also looked helpless. He naturally knew that this kind of story Sophia couldn't have touched anything, let alone an abbreviated version.

"It's enough to impress a little girl."

"What's the meaning?"

"What do you think the mermaid inside looks like?"

Sophia pondered for a while. As the owner of the family for so many years, she naturally has more knowledge than ordinary people. After a while, she replied: "It seems to be a merman?"

"Yes." Claire nodded, "It's the merman."

Sophia asked directly: "Have you caught the merman?"

"It's not about catching~www.readwn.com~ The fishermen who went out to sea carefully caught it, and it is now in Nafu City."

Sophia leaned back, "Sell it to me, I'll give you one million gold coins."

"That much money?"

"Rare is the most precious thing. There is no such creature on land. I have never seen it for so many years. If it is combined with your story, I may be able to sell more than one million gold coins." Sophia also Not hiding and tucking.

And not only that, the sharks are different from orcs and half-orcs, and rarely appear on land. It is estimated that some mages will be willing to spend a lot of money to buy and study this unseen species.

Claire shook her head, "This is not for sale."

"The price can be negotiated, you can raise a price." Sophia said without giving up.

"I can create more value in my hands than in yours." Claire said lightly.
