Chapter 148: Make a deal with Irene, and the top-grade soul seed is found!
Lu Ran smiled and watched Mu Nujiao leave.
Then, he turned and looked at Zhao Manyan.
Zhao Manyan couldn't laugh anymore and wanted to slap himself.
"Brother Ran, I'm a bad mouth." Zhao Manyan said bitterly.
Lu Ran waved his hand: "Alright, women are like this, they love to be jealous. Go on, I'm listening."
Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan both stared with wide eyes.
"Brother Ran, do you really want to see Irene?!"
"Mu Nujiao hasn't gone far yet!"
Lu Ran frowned and said:
"What are you talking about? I've heard so much about Grand Duke Irene's reputation. She's finally come to the Magic City, so shouldn't I show some hospitality?!"
Zhao Manyan was deeply impressed after hearing this!
To be able to talk about being lustful in such a high-sounding way, I'm afraid only someone as capable as Brother Ran would have the confidence to do so!
And as a good host, you should be the young master of a wealthy family in Shanghai, not yours.
Of course, Zhao Manyan didn't dare to say these words of criticism, for fear of being beaten to death.
"Okay, I can pass the message on your behalf, but I'm afraid it won't work if I use my name. After all, I'm notorious, and people might not want to see me."
Lu Ran laughed after hearing this: "That's easy. She won't refuse a deal that's good for her. Just pass my name in and tell her I want to trade with her. See if she agrees."
Zhao Manyan was skeptical, but he still did as he was told and hurried to call for help.
Soon, a burly bodyguard invited Lu Ran and the other two into the box.
Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan looked at each other in bewilderment.
Mo Fan was fine, after all, he was not from that class. He was just a little surprised.
He thought there would be a series of plots where Lu Ran would be looked down upon and then slapped in the face.
But Zhao Manyan knew that it would be difficult to meet Grand Duke Irene!
Let’s put it this way, the children of wealthy families in Shanghai who have not made some international reputation are embarrassed to talk to others.
Grand Duke Irene is in Europe, what a nobleman!
Inside the magnificent and luxurious box.
Lu Ran finally met Irene, and she had to admit that at first sight, Irene gave her the impression of a pretty girl next door.
After all, her figure is petite and delicate, the type that can be easily held in a hug.
But her demeanor, her makeup, and the noble temperament she exudes all tell everyone that she is a queen who is high above everyone else!
Those willow eyebrows are like paintings, the golden hair is like a waterfall, the golden eyes are glowing, and there is a faint smile that makes people unwilling to desecrate it.
Sitting nearby, Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan were filled with envy.
The three of them came together, so why was Lu Ran the only one who could sit on the main seat and have a low conversation with Grand Duke Irene?
But they could only sit far away in the guest seats, chatting with Irene's bodyguards to pass the time?
"Sir, I have long heard of your great name. Meeting you today is truly extraordinary."
Irene spoke fluent Kyushu dialect with a soft voice.
After listening to it, Lu Ran felt like he was bathed in spring breeze and wanted to listen for a while longer.
"You've learned Kyushu language quite well." Lu Ran joked.
Irene smiled faintly. "Jiuzhou is a vast land with abundant resources. The Jiuzhou language is also extensive and profound. It is very necessary to learn it."
After this conversation, Lu Ran felt that Irene gave him a very good impression.
After a brief exchange of politeness, Irene got straight to the point:
"Mr. Lu Ran, I wonder what the deal you asked someone to convey earlier was."
Lu Ran waved his hand, and three items appeared on the table, and he introduced them to Irene.
One of them is an earth-attributed magic arm guard that can amplify the power of the high-level earth magic Eye of the Rock Demon. It is extremely rare and has a very large range of amplification!
The second one is a cursed magic weapon that can amplify the power of the ghost-shaped high-level curse magic.
The third is the water soul seed that Lu Ran had previously left behind.
The first two items came from Lu Nian and Luo Mian respectively, and they are both their treasures.
The former was built by Lu Nian at great expense and is his trump card.
The latter is the magic weapon that Luo Mian relied on when he was at a high level.
When Irene saw these three items, her red lips slightly opened in surprise.
Each of these three items, if taken individually, is a treasure that high-level mages would fight for!
Let’s not talk about cursed magic weapons for now, but the market value and applicability of earth-type arm guards and water-type soul seeds are extremely high!
It was truly shocking to see three treasures appear in the hands of a high-level wizard.
But when I thought about it, the person in front of me was the evil Lu Ran, who was a Kyushu councilor.
Everything seems to make sense.
"Mr. Lu Ran, do you want to trade these three treasures?" Irene asked in a low voice.
Lu Ran nodded: "I don't have any use for these three items for now, so I plan to sell them off."
"Of course, I hope to exchange it for a satisfactory top-grade water-type soul seed. I wonder if you have any channels or information."
Irene was a little surprised, pointed at the water soul seed in the vessel and asked:
"Such a top-grade soul seed is not worthy of your attention?"
Lu Ran had just introduced this soul seed to her. In her opinion, it was already a top-tier soul seed, but Lu Ran sold it without hesitation.
Lu Ran shook his head and said, "This soul seed's domain is not suitable for me."
Then, Lu Ran briefly mentioned his needs to Irene.
After hearing this, Irene pondered for a moment and said:
"In the Victoria family, there are indeed several top-grade water-type soul seeds that match what you described. They are all rare treasures that are rarely seen in the world. If you are interested, I will send you an email list later."
Lu Ran's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was exactly what he needed!
The Victoria family, as a dragon-taming family in Europe, is a leader in status, wealth, and reputation.
Since Irene has spoken, Lu Ran believes that there must be one soul seed that he likes among those soul seeds!
Instead of playing house with Zhao Manyan, who has no real power, it is better to go directly to Grand Duke Irene of the Victoria family!
While solving the need for water soul seeds, it can also increase your favorability, the best of both worlds!
In the end, the finalized agreement was that the cursed magic weapon plus this water soul seed would be exchanged for a top-grade water soul seed from the Victoria family.
The soul seed given by Irene is undoubtedly more valuable than the one in Lu Ran's hand.
Among these, Lu Ran's sincerity and Irene's goodwill played a big role.
Irene also knew that the earth-based arm guard magic weapon was carefully crafted and would greatly enhance the power of earth-based mages, so it had not been finalized yet.
Lu Ran was not in a hurry and let Irene handle it without any worries. He had no objection whether it was sold or entrusted.
This behavior undoubtedly greatly increased Irene's favorability.
"Since you are so confident about this deal, I will contact the family as soon as possible." Irene gave another long list of excuses.
Lu Ran smiled and said, "Alright, we know each other now. Stop calling me Your Excellency and just call me by my name."
Irene smiled faintly and nodded gently.
"The auction is over. How about I do my part as a good host?"
Erin blinked.
"Ice-cold crayfish, please."
"Hmm~ What is that?"
Irene tilted her head in confusion. Can crayfish be chilled?
