Chapter 72 The Real Rich Man



Although on Earth, he has seen many billionaires' luxurious mansions through the Internet and various media.

But I was still amazed by the huge courtyard in front of me, which covered an area comparable to a small square.

You have to know that this is not in some remote wilderness, but one of the most expensive areas in the city of Port Calin.

Only those who have obtained noble status are eligible to own and purchase real estate in administrative areas where every inch of land is valuable.

Moreover, it takes more than just money to grow so many strange and rare plants and flowers on the edge of the arid desert.

You also need to know a lot of professional knowledge related to magic and plants.

Especially some giant carnivorous plants, which could swallow a living person if you are not careful.

"Is this client of yours also an arcane spellcaster?"

Zuo Si asked in an uncertain tone.

Elsa shook her head gently: “No, it’s not.

He was quite a fighter when he was young.

A gang of desert bandits who once killed hundreds of people by himself.

But now, he hasn't fought with anyone for almost ten years, and his body has probably become rusty.

For a warrior, too much comfort is a deadly poison."

"Warrior? Are you sure he didn't change his job to become a mage, warlock, priest, druid, or any other spellcasting profession?"

Zuo Si obviously found it hard to believe that a soldier could have such leisure time.

Even if the other party is the heir of a large family with hundreds of years of history.

He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Don't look at Ebenee Abbott the way you look at ordinary people.

He has extremely high attainments in art appreciation, occult knowledge, and identification of magical items.

Also, don't make a fuss about anything you see later.

Just remember that slaves in Calimport are merely property, and their masters have the right to dispose of them as they please."

Aisha took precautions in advance.

She didn't want any conflicts to arise between the two of them.

Zuo Si responded nonchalantly, "If you mean the cruel and brutal treatment of slaves, rest assured that although I don't like it, I won't interfere, or stand on the moral high ground to accuse the slave owners. I have seen scenes that are ten times more horrible than this."

"Oh? I'm very curious about what you have been through. Why do you appear to be a minor?" Elsa looked at Zuo Si with interest.

"You can understand that this is the result of an accident. My body has regressed into a minor as if time has gone backwards, but my mind and spirit have been preserved intact."

After saying this, Zuo Si no longer paid attention to the sorceress's curious eyes, and concentrated on following the servant who was responsible for leading the way, straight through the huge garden and came to the reception room on the second floor.

As soon as the two appeared at the door, Ebenee Abu, who was lying on the sofa enjoying a massage, immediately waved his hand, signaling the two female masseuses who were only covered with a layer of gauze to leave.

He grabbed a purple silk robe and put it on, then greeted with a smile, "Good evening. If I'm not mistaken, this person should be the maker of that energy storage device, right?"

"That's right! Let me introduce him. His name is Soth, and he is a magic item maker with very rare talents and abilities. If you have any problems that you need help solving, you can tell me now."

As a middleman, the sorceress took the initiative to step forward and make a brief introduction.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Ebenezer Abbott."

Zuo Si leaned forward slightly to hide the fact that he was almost blinded by the magic item on the other party.

ring!

necklace!

Wristband!

earrings!

Nose ring!

Headdress!

Pants Boots!

Even the silk robe he had just put on was a magical item! According to the strength of the magic aura, this outfit would cost at least 300,000 or 400,000 gold coins.

And this amount of money is enough to build a pretty good wizard tower.

Two of the magic items were so powerful that even Zuo Si was jealous and even had the urge to grab one.

fortunately!

Reason quickly put an end to this dangerous trend.

What is a truly rich person?

That's it!

"I'm glad to meet you, too, Soth. To show my welcome, I'd better treat you to a simple meal first. We can talk about the rest after dinner."

There was a strange light in Ebenee Abo's eyes, and he seemed not surprised at all about Zuo Si's current age.

He first winked at the servants in the living room, and then a large number of steaming dishes were brought up one after another.

There are so many varieties and quantities that they are enough to feed a dozen strong men.

But there were only three people who actually ate!

The remaining servants and slaves could only stand by and watch obediently, and from time to time they had to serve their masters and guests meals.

They didn't even dare to show the slightest desire for these delicacies. They kept their heads down the whole time and didn't look at the delicious dishes on the table, which fully reflected the strict hierarchy of Kalin Port.

However, when Zuo Si was in the tower of the floating city, he was already accustomed to the scene where the Great Necromancer killed slaves at will to conduct cruel necromancy experiments, so he did not show any discomfort about this.

There was no attempt to say "thank you" to these slaves to show their politeness and upbringing.

Because he knows.

If this were done, the slave would likely become extremely frightened and even be disposed of by the master, who would feel humiliated.

The meal took a full forty minutes.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and all the leftovers had been cleared away, Ebenee Ab picked up the cylindrical energy storage device beside him and asked with great interest, "Soth, what gave you the idea to create this interesting magical item? In other words, what was your original idea?"

"Ideas? Hmm... I think it's probably about creating a device that can absorb, store and release all energy. But unfortunately, after hundreds of failed experiments, the only thing we got in the end was this semi-finished product that can store electrical energy."

Zuo Si made up a reason.

In fact, the essence of the cylindrical energy storage device is simply to simulate the principle of battery storage with the help of magic.

Like "The Ecstasy of Capitalism", it is a typical creation that combines technology and magic.

The biggest feature of this type of "invention" is that after using the creator's special abilities, the production process becomes very simple and the material cost is shockingly low.

Its true value has never been the item itself, but the unique technology contained therein.

But Ebenee Ab didn't know this. Instead, he looked thoughtful: "I see! Then can you increase the upper limit of this energy storage device by enlarging its volume?"

"You mean... to build a similar device that is huge in size and can hold more electricity?" Zuo Si was obviously surprised.

You know, the biggest advantage of a cylindrical energy storage device is that it is easy to carry.

If the size increases drastically, it will lose its value as a magic item.

Just imagine, if the energy storage device is enlarged ten, twenty, or thirty times, how hard would it be for an average person to carry it?

Do we have to use livestock or horse-drawn carriages to carry it as a mobile artillery position?

What a joke! If you just want a large energy storage device, it would be more convenient to build a simple magician tower.

The latter is far superior to the former in terms of energy storage limit and functionality.

If you want a mobile turret, various wands such as [Fireball], [Lightning], [Ice Storm], [Fire Wall], etc. will obviously meet your requirements better.
