Seeing the situation clearly, Tadel looked calm, but he secretly estimated the other party's identity in his heart. Being able to ride a mid-level flaming rhino, the master's strength must not be underestimated, at least the same mid-level. And the other two earls in the southwest border area have not subdued mid-level monsters, so the person in front of him is likely to be an outsider.
Master Niru looked at the well-equipped and well-trained team of knights in front of him and smiled politely.
The reason he visited this time was to ask a favor of Count Rhett, and this was also in a foreign country, so he had to put down his airs.
Master Niru smiled and said, "Brave knight, I come from the Ring Tower of the Kingdom of Rhium. I am an old acquaintance of your lord, Earl Leiter. I came to visit you this time because I have something important to discuss with Earl Leiter."
Tadel and the knights behind him looked solemn. They had certainly heard of the famous Ring Tower, which was a top alchemy organization with an extraordinary status in the Kingdom of Rim.
Tadel saluted with a knight's salute and said in a strong voice:
"Dear visitor from afar, on behalf of the Dark Eagle City Knights, I welcome you. Please follow me and I will take you to Dark Rock Castle. Of course, you will need to wait for a while. I will report this matter to the Lord!"
"Thank you!" Master Niru kept smiling.
"You're welcome."
Rhett, who had just come downstairs, ran into Sveta and Maru who were chatting animatedly. They heard footsteps and just by the frequency and sound, they knew it was the old man in leather boots coming downstairs.
The two put away their smiles and stood solemnly. Sveta greeted them, "Good afternoon, sir."
Leiter nodded: “Good afternoon, Sveta.
I suddenly want to eat delicacies made from aquatic monsters. Please send someone to catch some aquatic monsters.
Also, Maru, please prepare the seafood monster dinner tonight and prepare the dishes in advance."
"Understood!" Sveta and Maru responded in unison.
As soon as Rhett sat at the dining table, a maid in a black and white dress poured him a cup of hot tea. Soon after, another maid brought him a plate of exquisite flower cakes, which exuded a faint fragrance.
"Master, do you need a shoulder massage?" A pretty maid came forward. She was a new face. As the castle grew larger, the number of servants needed naturally increased. In the past year, new people had been recruited every month.
"No need, Hana, go and wipe the shadow tiger skin on the wall. It looks a little dusty." Rhett was observant and glanced at the imposing tiger skin and said casually.
"Yes, sir."
Leiter picked up a piece of cake, but before he could take a bite, Sveta came back and pushed open the castle gate. He hurried forward and said, "Master, Tadel is outside. He said that a guest from the Ring Tower, Master Alchemist Niru, is here to visit you. He asked me to let you know."
Putting half of the flower cake in his hand into his mouth, Lei Te pretended to be surprised: "Master Niru? He actually came to my territory, um, this is a strange thing..."
He stood up and walked outside, his voice floating behind him: "This is an honored guest, I must greet him. Sveta, the fishing of aquatic monsters must be done as soon as possible, so as not to delay the banquet tonight."
"Don't worry, sir. I'll go right away."
Leaving the castle, Rhett walked along a wide stone path to the gate of the manor and saw a man and a woman on the back of a tall fire rhinoceros. The man was Master Niru, and Rhett also knew the woman, Julie, who led him into the circular tower.
Tadel, who was beside the Flame Rhino, stepped forward quickly and said respectfully, "My Lord, this visitor claims to be from the Ring Tower..."
Leiter waved his hand: "I know everything, Tadel, you reported it very promptly. You can leave now."
"Yes, Lord!" Tadel bowed and turned around to glance at Master Niru who was sitting on the back of the Flame Rhino. He was amazed. He didn't expect that the Lord even knew the Alchemist Master of the Ring Tower and even invited him to visit him in person. His network of contacts is really wide! The surrounding knights quickly retreated, and Master Niru and Julie turned over and landed, walking towards Rhett one after the other.
Niru wore a black suit today, which made him look more aristocratic and less scholarly.
"Hello." Lei Te said with a smile: "Finally we meet again, Master Niru. You are dressed more like a noble than I am today."
"Really? Thank you for the compliment." Niru patted the corner of his clothes, took off his hat, and smiled: "Actually, Earl Leiter, you are right. When I was young, I was indeed a minor noble. Later, something happened to my family and we fell into complete decline. In order to make a living, I accidentally embarked on the path of alchemy."
"Well, I'm sorry to have touched upon such a sore spot of yours," Rhett responded politely.
"Are you talking about the decline of the family?" Nilu shrugged and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. When I was young, I was indeed desperate and distressed about it, but now I have to thank the experiences during that period. It was the struggle in the hardship that gave me the opportunity to achieve today's achievements in alchemy and pharmacy."
Julie, who was standing aside, showed a look of surprise on her face: "Master Niru, you have never told us about your experiences when you were young. This sounds very inspiring!"
Nilu glanced at Julie calmly and said, "That's because not many people know about it. In fact, several other masters and the tower master are aware of my past."
"Okay." Julie stopped talking, thinking to herself, how dare I compare myself to someone at that level? But then again, why did she take the initiative to tell Earl Rhett about this experience now? Could he be compared to someone at the level of the Alchemy Master and the Tower Master?
Lei Te showed a hint of surprise at the right time and said admiringly: "Master Niru, thank you for sharing. Successful people must first have the qualities of success."
"That's nothing. It took me a long time to get to this point. And your rise, Earl Leiter, only took the last few years. You are better than most people." Nilu complimented him, raised his head and looked ahead, saying, "Earl Leiter, can I visit your manor? It looks quite beautiful."
"Of course, it's a piece of cake. Please follow me." Rhett stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Rhett led the way, with Master Niru and Julie on either side. The three of them walked around the manor for about half an hour.
Master Niru slowed down his pace, and finally stopped beside a silver pine tree, and said slowly:
"Count Leiter, I have something I want to know from you."
Lei Te turned around and said, "Master Niru, tell me what's going on."
Master Niru pondered for a moment and said, "I heard... you asked Li En to come to our Ring Tower for help?"
A hint of surprise appeared on Rhett's face. They had been chatting for the past half hour and had not talked about anything related to the Blood Source Pearl.
Now we are clearly getting to the point.
According to the trajectory in the text simulation, as long as he refused to answer, he could avoid the Blood God Cult Leader coming to his door.
However, in text simulation, the real simulation situation is not taken into account.
He even came up with some plans early on.
So, Lei Te had an idea and turned on the system.
[Do you want to start the real simulation? Each day of simulation consumes 1 point of destiny. ]
"Yes, simulate one day."
Ripples appeared before my eyes.
Leiter knew that the simulation had already started.
So, he put on a calm smile and said, "That's right. At that time, Rean was contaminated by the blood elves. It was obscure but strange. I was helpless, so I suggested that he go to the Circle Tower for help. After all, most of the famous alchemy masters in the Kingdom of Jinlun are in the royal family. Only your Circle Tower can help him."
The contamination of the blood elves? There was a hint of surprise in Niru's eyes. He didn't expect that Lei Te would reveal such a big secret right away.
He looked straight at Leiter and asked, "Count Leiter, how do you know it's related to the blood elves? And I also heard from Lien that when they were experimented on by those evil alchemists, they swallowed a kind of evil bead. I wonder if you got this trophy after clearing out that stronghold?"
Lei Te nodded and admitted generously: "Yes, I forced those captives to tell me that this bead is called the Blood Source Bead, a product of the blood elves. Rean was contaminated because of the Blood Source Bead. All the Blood Source Beads came from an evil organization founded by a powerful sanctuary called the Blood God.
And the Blood God is the owner of the blood elves."
Upon hearing this, Niru's pupils shrank suddenly. This mission went more smoothly than he expected, and he obtained so much useful information easily.
After realizing what was happening, he said anxiously, "Count Leiter, can you give me the Blood Source Pearl? I am willing to pay a handsome price and will never let you down!"
"Okay!" Rhett nodded generously.
Niru was stunned again, feeling that Count Rhett was too easy to talk to, and thought that this person was worth making close friends with!
"What does Earl Leiter need?"
"I need a book on alchemy experience, and it has to be a masterpiece from the Ring Tower. It can't be an ordinary thing written by any alchemist." Rhett made the request lightly.
"This..." Master Niru frowned when he saw Lei Te asking for his alchemy experience so directly, and said, "The alchemy manual is the essence of an alchemist, and it will never be easily passed on to others. Moreover, we in the Ring Tower do not sell alchemy manuals to the outside world."
"Really?" Lei Te raised his eyebrows. "The blood source bead is at least the spoils of my hard work. If Master Niru is unwilling to pay such a price, I am afraid it will be difficult to get what I want."
Julie on the side showed a look of displeasure and was about to say something. She could not have imagined that Count Rhett would become so weird and suddenly lost his mature temperament. Compared with the last time they met, he was completely different!
But Master Niru noticed Julie's intention, winked, and said first: "Well, I hope Earl Leiter will keep his word. I do have a master-level alchemy manual in my hand.
But before the transaction, can you allow me to check the blood source beads first? I need to confirm the authenticity of the goods. "
"No problem." After saying that, Rhett took out a blood source bead that he had prepared in advance from his arms and spread it in the palm of his hand.
What he took out was the purple-red blood source bead, which reflected a faint light under the sunlight.
Niru and Julie were both attracted by the purple-red blood source bead. Looking at the strange light lingering on the surface, their eyes were filled with curiosity and exploration.
Niru took it in his hand, extended his mental power to perceive it, but quickly retracted it.
A solemn look flashed in his eyes. With his great mage-level mental power, he could feel the strange and difficult energy in it. If he was accidentally infected, he would not be sure to expel it! "Huh" Niru exhaled lightly, and was sure in his heart that this was what he needed, so he said in a deep voice: "Now it seems that it is indeed an evil bead, and the possibility of being linked to the blood elves is quite high!"
"Of course, everything I said is true." Rhett said seriously.
Niru nodded, took out a beautifully crafted book from his arms and handed it to Rhett.
"This is a manual jointly created by several alchemy masters from the Ring Tower. It brings together the experience and insights of many masters. However, this one is mostly about insights into lower-grade potions. It should be just right for you."
Rhett's eyes lit up. The other party was right. This low-level alchemy manual was most suitable for his territory!
The first step in building an alchemy team is to cultivate a large number of talents. With a larger base and a formed atmosphere, it is easier to produce top talents! He happily took it and stuffed it into his arms. He glanced at Niru and Julie again, thinking that this was just a simulation, and said very quickly:
"Master Niru, Miss Julie, since the transaction is completed, I will not send you off. See you next time."
After he finished speaking, Rhett left without looking back and went into Dark Rock Castle.
Julie and Niru were left stunned, watching Rhett's back disappear quickly. They could never have imagined that Rhett could leave so easily.
Julie's face flashed with anger: "Humph, this Earl Rhett has no noble manners at all, he is like a snob, a villain who only cares about money! The last time we met, he disguised himself too well!"
"Haha, don't say that. Everyone has their own secrets." Master Niru shook his head. "But it seems that I did misjudge him before..."
After getting what they wanted, the two left the manor without staying for long.
When Rhett returned to the castle, he ran straight to his room with the alchemy manual in his arms. He raced against time, not wasting a single second, and began to flip through the pages, memorizing and reciting them.
His purpose was simple, which was to use real simulation to get as much knowledge as possible for free.
What he did just now was indeed inappropriate, but in the simulation, he couldn't care less.
Although as a magician, as the mental strength increases, the memory will also be improved, but this improvement cannot be infinite.
It is extremely unrealistic to have a photographic memory, and to remember it permanently.
