My wizarding career begins on Earth

Chapter 270 Recovering losses

The midday sun should have been harsh, but at this moment, the sun was shining on him, and Barry felt a little cold.

"Why are there so many people here..."

Lu He put down the book in his hand and glanced at these people lightly, with a calm smile on his face.

This group of people included old and young, men and women, four of them were knights, and the rest were mostly high-ranking knight attendants.

"Lord Sauron, the Yan Lun Alliance has a deal with Bilaire Fire Cave..." Walter stepped forward and whispered.

"Let them speak for themselves." Lu He raised his hand to interrupt Walter casually, and looked at the group of people behind him.

Lu He was in a good mood now and was still willing to spend some time listening to these people's appeals.

Facing those calm scarlet eyes, Barry suddenly felt panicked for some reason.

He looked around and saw that Juan and Charles, who proposed the loan plan, made no move.

Barry couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart. After hesitating for a while, he took a step forward, bowed and whispered:

"Lord Sauron, the Belair Fire Cave is an asset that has been passed down since the founding of the alliance. It is of great significance to our alliance, so we discussed it..."

Barry paused briefly as he noticed Zoro's brow furrowed slightly.

"We have decided to lease the Belair Fire Cave to you for ten years, and the rent is... ten thousand gold coins."

"Look..." After Barry finished speaking, he looked at Lu He carefully, with a very respectful attitude.

Juan and Charles, who were standing behind him, were also looking at Lu He nervously at this moment, feeling uneasy in their hearts.

Milanxi was very surprised by the attitude of Barry's leader and his father. They were usually very powerful people.

Not only in the Yanlun Alliance, but also in the entire Black Lian City, he is also a famous figure.

But now when facing Count Sauron, who seemed younger than her, her attitude was so respectful that it was a bit humble.

Especially Alliance Leader Barry, he is the most powerful knight in the Yanlun Alliance and a peak knight-level expert.

You must know that the peak knight level is not a big deal. Looking at the entire Xizhou Continent, they can be regarded as first-rate powerhouses. Even the Sky Knights will give them a certain amount of respect.

Milanxi remembered that Prince Ricardo of the Winged Royal Family inspected Black Lian City last year, and the leader of the Barry Alliance behaved neither humble nor arrogant, which was completely different from his current attitude.

She couldn't figure out why the same Heavenly Knight and leader Barry had completely opposite attitudes.

Could it be that the young Count Sauron in front of him is much stronger than Prince Ricardo?

But no matter how strong you are, you shouldn't be like this.

As a member of the Yan Lun Alliance, Milan Xi suddenly felt a sense of humiliation in her heart.

She frowned and looked carefully at Earl Sauron who was sitting behind the table, as if she wanted to see what was different about him.

Zoro seemed to notice her gaze and smiled sideways at her, showing his white teeth.

Milan Xi's heartstrings suddenly tightened. Those two rows of white teeth gave her the feeling that they were the ferocious fangs of some ferocious beast.

Lu He smiled and looked around at these people: "I don't have to buy it, I can actually rent it."

"It's just that I think the lease period and rent you mentioned are a bit unreasonable and need to be changed."

Barry was very surprised when he heard this, but his heart was relieved and he felt relieved.

"No problem. The term and rent can be negotiated. Lord Zoro can do whatever he thinks is suitable."

His mood was no longer so heavy, and he felt in his heart that Lord Sauron was not as overbearing and unreasonable as the outside world said.

"Thank you, Lord Sauron, for understanding us." At this time, Juan, who was behind Barry, also stepped forward and said with a smile.

To be honest, when he first entered the camp, he was frightened by the formation put up by the Soros family.

The scimitar man on the stone, the blond knight, and the beautiful red-haired guard next to Lord Sauron.

These three people were the reason why they had such a humble attitude. I thought Lord Sauron was just a newly promoted Heavenly Knight, and the Sauros family was not the traditional top noble of the Crescent Empire.

Except for Lord Sauron, the overall strength is that of an ordinary earl family.

But these three people are all peak knights!

What's more important is that there are about a dozen other people around the camp, except for three beauties who look like maids at first glance.

All are knight-level!

What is this concept? Think about it, the Yan Lun Alliance is one of the top forces in Black Lian City. It is formed by several families, but the number of knights is only six.

There is only Barry at the peak of the knight level. It should be said that he is the only one in the entire Black Refining City.

So in other words, even excluding Lord Sauron.

Just by looking at these knights he saw, they could crush all the big and small forces in Black Lian City at least three times.

Lu He smiled, thought for a while and said casually: "Ten years is too short, we need to extend it a little, um... a hundred years, the rent of 10,000 is too expensive, so just one gold coin."

For a moment, everyone present fell silent.

They all looked at him with disbelief, as if they didn't understand what he said.

Of course, the half-elf Yue Ling was not surprised. She was so smart that she had anticipated this scene.

There is also Yerette. She knows that adults have no idea about money, so she bids more casually when making transactions.

She looked at these shocked people with disdain.

The adults didn't grab it directly because they were giving you a chance, but these people actually pushed further and began to bargain.

You have no discernment at all, you are really stupid.

Lu He had a smile on his face at this time.

But his words made everyone's hearts sink.

"Lord Sauron, one hundred years..." Barry, who was still smiling at first, now looked extremely ugly.

As for the group of people standing behind him, the older ones had gloomy faces, while the younger ones had reddened faces and angry eyes. Some impulsively even put their hands on the handles of their weapons.

"presumptuous!"

Yerette's eyes narrowed and she scolded him coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the silver sword in his arms had been unsheathed, and the sword body was filled with circles of silver-white halo.

There was a small chirping sound.

A terrifying sword energy suddenly flew out. The sword energy was extremely sharp, leaving a shallow gray mark wherever it passed.

Danger! ! !

A strong sense of threat suddenly filled the air. Barry didn't think much, and the energy in his body was instantly activated.

Bang! ! !

Countless silver-white sword energy spurted out, like laser beams, striking Barry in the front.

Barry's face changed wildly.

The secret technique that has been passed down for thousands of years was immediately in full operation. Powerful energy exploded in the body, and blood was violently stimulated in the blood vessels layer by layer, causing the air to twist.

But it was no use. He was still severely slashed by the sword energy. He was in the air, his throat was sweet, and he couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His belly felt a little cold, and Brother An lowered his head in confusion.

I saw that the clothes on his abdomen were open, and there was a thin red line on his abdomen, with drops of blood oozing out.

He gasped in horror.

The white belly immediately trembled slightly, and the red line immediately became thicker, revealing a thin layer of fat inside.

He immediately held his breath and tried not to move.

Then he turned stiffly and looked at his companion on the right. He also had a wound on his abdomen, but it was not as deep as his.

Then he looked at Milan Xi on the left. There was no injury on the latter's body, and his eyes were staring directly at his belly.

"I'll give you a little lesson. If you dare to be disrespectful to adults, it won't be as simple as cutting open your belly!"

Yerette snorted coldly, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

Brother An was stunned for a moment, and immediately released his right hand holding the hilt of the sword after realizing it, his eyes filled with fear.

"Yerette, don't be quick to kill people. Be reasonable." Lu He shook his head helplessly.

New 𝗑.𝖼𝗈𝗆

"If you kill everyone, who can I find to rent the Bilaire Fire Cave?"

"Sir, a gold coin is also money, there is no need for us to waste it." Pavis suggested with an evil look.

He thought of the auction in Hongguang City. The seventy gold coins spent in the auction by Master Lu He have not yet been given.

Barry just got up from the ground, and when he heard this, he vomited a mouthful of blood without hesitation.

He forced a smile and said: "Lord Sauron, just follow the plan you mentioned. We have no objection."

"We have no problem with that either."

"Lord Sauron, you don't need to pay rent. The Belair Fire Cave is idle and useless now anyway."

"Yes, it is our Yan Lun Alliance's blessing to be able to rent it to Lord Sauron. We cannot ask for money."

Others also spoke and expressed their agreement.

"Thank you very much." Lu He suddenly smiled.

"Well, since you insist on not asking for money, just stay here and have lunch before leaving."

"The Dongzhou cuisine cooked by my little maid Nicole is particularly delicious and cannot be eaten by ordinary people."

Lu He's tone was very gentle, and he felt that he couldn't take it for nothing. What was the difference between that and robbery, and how different it was from banditry.

It's better to be more or less thoughtful. It's good to stay with them for a meal, and it can also enhance the relationship.

After all, they are local snakes, and a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. This is an eternal saying.

And he will come here again later. The fire energy crystals in the Bilaire Fire Cave are very important to him.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Brother An looked down at his belly, which was only connected to a thin layer of yellow fat, and felt desolate.

Also eat, what to eat.

He felt that even if he drank water now, it might leak out.

But in the end, his belly was completely repaired. The first aid kit Milanxi carried contained needles and threads, and he was sutured airtight, and then wrapped in gauze.

After solving the belly problem, and with the idea of ​​trying to recover some of the losses, Brother An ate a lot of this meal.

This was his first time eating Dongzhou’s specialties, and so were his companions, including Milan Xi.

Putting aside the unpleasant things, I have to say it was delicious.

Especially the dish called stir-fried spicy beef. Even though the spicy food made his stomach hurt, he couldn't help but finish it.

This gave him the idea of ​​recruiting a chef who could cook Eastern cuisine.

But when he learned that the cute little cook's monthly salary was nearly five hundred gold coins, he was immediately shocked.

Unless his father also supports it and uses family money to hire him, he won't be able to afford it even if he sells it.

Of course, after eating, Ange felt that the rent of one gold coin must have been earned back.

…………

Three days later.

In front of a mansion in the east of Black Lian City.

Carriages of different colors but all luxurious and noble slowly drove through the gate of the manor.

Two rows of servants in tuxedos stood guard on both sides of the gate, bending and bowing every time a carriage entered.

The rumble of wheels and the sound of horse hooves continued as one carriage after another slowly entered the green grass of the manor.

Occasionally, at some carriage windows, some children would curiously poke their heads out and look out.

Most carriages will stop in the parking lanes marked on the edge of the green grass.

Then the servants led him to the banquet hall.

The night was hazy, with the bright moon hanging high in the sky. The moonlight fell quietly on the grass, and the tips of the grass glowed with silver fluorescent light.

At this time, an old man who looked like a butler led a black carriage slowly into the manor.

The carriage passed by the meadow without stopping.

Go straight along the white driveway, go around the hammer statue fountain, and park slowly in the parking space on the right.

With a crash, the car door opened.

Lu He jumped out of the car. He was wearing a silver robe with a light blue shirt underneath.

Following closely was the personal bodyguard Yerette, wearing a black slim-fitting knight's uniform with a waistband, and long fiery red hair shawl, which was in sharp contrast to the fair skin color on her neck and cheeks.

Barry, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came up to him with a smile. He bowed slightly and said, "Welcome Lord Sauron to attend the dinner held by the Yan Lun Alliance."

Lu He glanced around and nodded lightly.

He noticed that there were only two cars parked in the parking space outside the villa, one was his black carriage.

The other was a white steam car, with thin golden lines lining the edges of the body, and streamlined, narrow wing-shaped imprints on the doors on both sides.

It looks very refined and noble.

"This is Princess Isabel's car." Seeing his eyes lingering on the car, Barry explained with a smile.

"I heard that you were attending this dinner, and the eldest princess, who is inspecting the province of Angola, came to Black Lian City specially."

"Lead the way." Lu He smiled.

After finishing his lunch last time, Barry invited him to a dinner held by the Yanlun Alliance. The reason for the event was to celebrate the success of their transaction with the Soros family.

Lu He was filled with emotions at that time.

Although these people can be stupid sometimes, most of the time they are really smarter than the other.

It seems that Bilaire cannot be saved from the Fire Cave, but he does not resent him, let alone fight against him or secretly seek revenge.

The Yanlun Alliance simply resigned to its fate, and in order to recover its losses as much as possible, a dinner was specially held and all the major and minor forces in Black Lian City and surrounding areas were invited to attend.

The purpose is very simple, Yue Ling can guess it.

She said she wanted to use his power to tell the outside world about the friendly relationship between the Yan Lun Alliance and the Soros family, especially to tell the outside world that the Yan Lun Alliance had gained the friendship of a Heavenly Knight.

The abacus was very loud, but also very calm.

Lu He agreed because he couldn't stay in the Bilaire Fire Cave waiting for the formation of the fire energy crystal.

And as long as someone does some damage, such as throwing explosives inside, the process of accumulation may be interrupted.

It's one thing to send people to guard, but it's also necessary to have good relations with the local forces, just in case.

"Please follow me." Barry gestured with his right hand and personally led the way to the banquet hall.

Lu He and the two followed him all the way forward.

The straight road leading to the villa was covered with a red carpet, and many guests were being led into the hall by attendants.

Lu He found that the banquet etiquette here was very different from that in the Crescent Empire, and seemed to be more hierarchical.

There were very few guests led by attendants, and most of them walked into the hall by themselves along the red carpet.

It should be that the identity is not enough.

And whenever a guest led by an attendant passes by, other guests with insufficient status will stop.

It seems to be etiquette to wait for them to go in first before moving forward.

Lu He is the only one led by his owner Barry.

As he slowly moved forward, he was surrounded by ordinary guests standing still on both sides. Whenever he walked in front of these people, they would smile and bow respectfully.

There were also faint comments about him behind him.

And everyone should have guessed his identity. They were all respectful when discussing and were very cautious in their words.

And at this time.

A delicate and tall woman in black dress was standing behind the crowd, her beautiful eyes staring at Lu He's back with a smile.

The woman is graceful and tall, her black hair glistens under the moonlight, and her beautiful face is flawless.

There was only a dark crescent mark on her left cheek, but this did not give her a disharmonious feeling, but instead added a touch of mysterious beauty.

"The bandits came to the dinner party again." The woman looked at the figure disappearing at the door of the banquet hall and whispered.
