Chapter 57 (1/2)

At night, the Vermillion Tower.

Reed, who had just finished socializing, was in a very good mood. He had originally thought that trying to get close to Rom would be a tough battle. It was difficult to win the trust of a nobleman with just a few words.

But things went much more smoothly than he had imagined. Reed paid some attention to the noble youngster, and then the two had another drink.

This nobleman with a decent personality was drawn much closer to him after some bamboozling, and a conversation between nobles happened without any surprises.

The entire process went smoothly which made him feel good.

He then called Laurent over, and the manager of the Goldwheat Guild was now close to being his errand boy.

But he had no choice, there were just too few people he could use in Grimm at the moment. Most of the apprentices in the mage tower were youngsters who had not seen the cruelty of society, and their inexperience forced him to exclude them from handling many things.

Reed was not familiar with the people in the Goldwheat Guild, and in the end, he could only rely on Laurent.

“Laurent, starting tomorrow, we will purchase a batch of cotton, cloth, and farming tools for about eight thousand people worth.

Hiss~

Laurent took a deep breath as he heard that.

Supplies for eight thousand, is Master Reed planning to go to war?

“Master Reed, due to those damned orcs, the price of supplies had risen sharply during this period. If we could wait until spring next year when the orcs retreat…”

Reed waved his hand and interrupted Laurent. His tone was beyond doubt.

“No, Laurent, you only need to complete the task.”

He had lightning in his eyes, with an infallible draconian aura to it.

“Whatever the cost.”

Those words were enough to indicate everything.

Laurent was shocked, and he looked at Reed with some trepidation in his heart as he felt an inexplicable unfamiliarity. During this period, the cordial talk he had with Reed almost made him forget that this was a noble Master Mage.

The latter controlled his fate, and his life and death were but just a word away.

The cold sweat silently drenched his clothes. Laurent, who gave you the courage to so simply question Master Reed?!

He quickly replied.

“Yes, Master Reed, your order is the direction the Goldwheat Guild will take. No matter what it may be, even if it were weapons I will procure it for you.”

Reed took a deep look at Laurent.

“Laurent, work well, and don’t let me down.”

As he spoke, his tone softened. “Your daughter is about 15 years old, right? If you do well this time, you can send her into the tower to learn magic next year.”

Laurent was pleasantly surprised as he looked at Reed in disbelief. “Master Reed, I, no, the priest of the Temple of Life said that my daughter is not talented enough to be a Mage…”

Reed smiled faintly.

“You don’t need to play such tricks with me. Recently, the mage tower had developed a new potion that could allow someone to break through and become a Mage. I believe you have seen Viena and Karl yourself. If you do well, your daughter will also have the chance to get this potion worth 300 gold Pykes.”

Laurent immediately smiled.

“Master Reed, you can see the truth better than the Goddess herself. I swear to the Goddess of Life, I will complete all of the tasks you have given me.”

“You may leave then. Contact the seller first, and come back later for the gold Pykes.”
