Chapter 72 The Real Rich Man
After learning a series of "little tricks" to deal with the paladin, Zuo Si followed the sorceress through most of the city and came to the huge courtyard in the administrative area.
Although he is on earth, he has seen many billionaires' extremely luxurious mansions through the Internet and various media.
But I was still surprised by the huge courtyard in front of me, which covers an area comparable to a small square.
You must know that this is not in the wilderness, but in one of the most expensive areas in the city of Calimport.
Only those who have achieved noble status are eligible to own and purchase real estate in administrative areas where land is at a premium.
Moreover, planting so many strange and rare plants and flowers on the edge of the arid desert is not just about money.
You also need to know a lot of professional knowledge related to magic and plants.
Especially a few giant meat-eating plants, which may swallow a large living person directly if they are not careful.
"Is your client also an arcane spellcaster?"
Zuo Si asked in an uncertain tone.
Elsa shook her head slightly: "No, it's not.
He was a very powerful warrior when he was young.
Once he was able to defeat the enemy by himself. A gang of desert thieves who killed hundreds of people.
But now, he has not fought with anyone for almost ten years, and his body is probably already rusty.
For a warrior, an overly comfortable life can be fatal poison. "
"Warrior? Are you sure he didn't change his profession to become a mage, warlock, priest, druid, or other spellcasting profession? ”
Zuo Si obviously didn’t believe that a soldier could have such a leisurely mood.
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 it into words.
"Don't look at Ebenezer the way you look at ordinary people.
He has extremely high attainments in art appreciation, occult knowledge, and identification of magic items.
In addition, in a moment, No matter what you see, don't make a fuss.
Just remember that slaves are just a type of property in Calim Port, and the owner has the right to dispose of them as he pleases."
Elsa called in advance. A vaccination.
She didn't want any conflict to happen between the two of them.
Zuo Si responded nonchalantly: "If you are referring to treating slaves in a cruel and rough way. Please rest assured that although I don't like it, I will not interfere more or stand on my side. Go up to the moral high ground and accuse those slave owners. Because I have seen scenes that are ten times more terrible than this."
"Oh? I am curious about what you have experienced. How do you show yourself as an adult child?" Aisha looked at Zuo Si with interest.
"You can understand that this is the result of an accident. My body has degenerated into a minor as if going back in time, but my brain and mind have been completely preserved."
After saying this, Zuo Si ignored the curious eyes of the sorceress and concentrated on following the slave who led the way through the huge garden to the reception room on the second floor.
As soon as the two of them appeared at the door, Abenny Arbor, who was lying on the sofa enjoying a massage, immediately waved her hand to signal the two masseurs, who were only wearing a thin layer of gauze, to leave.
He grabbed a purple silk robe and put it on his body, smiling and saying, "Good evening. If I guessed correctly, this should be the manufacturer of that kind of energy storage device, right? Right?"
"Yes! Let me introduce you. His name is Soth. He is a magic item maker with very rare talents and abilities. If you have any problems that you need help with, please do it now. You can tell me.”
As the intermediary, the sorceress took the initiative to make a brief introduction.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Albany Arbor."
Zuo Si leaned forward slightly to cover up the fact that he was almost blinded by the magic item on the opponent's body.
Ring!
Necklace!
Wrist guards!
Earrings!
Nose ring!
Tiara! belt!
Pants
Boots!
Even the silk robe that I just put on was a magic item!
Based on the strength of the magical aura, this body must cost three to four hundred thousand gold coins.
And this money can almost build a pretty good mage tower.
Two of the magic items were so powerful that even Zuo Si was jealous, and even had the urge to grab a vote.
Fortunately!
Reason quickly eliminated this dangerous sign.
What is a truly rich person?
This is it!
"Nice to meet you too, Soth. To express my welcome, I'd better treat you to a casual meal first. Let's talk about the rest after dinner."
Ai Benny Arbor's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he seemed not to be surprised at all by Zuo Si's current apparent age.
He first winked at the servants in the living room, and then a large number of steaming dishes were brought out one after another.
The variety and quantity are enough to feed a dozen strong men.
But there were only three people actually eating!
The remaining servants and slaves could only stand aside and watch obediently, and from time to time they had to serve the master and guests for meals.
They did not even dare to show the slightest desire for these delicacies. They kept their heads down the whole time and did not look at the delicious dishes on the table, which fully reflected Calimport's strict hierarchy.
However, when Zuo Si was in the floating city tower, he had long been accustomed to seeing the Necromancer randomly killing slaves to conduct cruel experiments on Necromantic Magic, so he did not show any discomfort with this.
I didn’t even try to say “thank you” to these slaves to show my courtesy and education.
Because he knows.
If this is done, the slave is likely to become very frightened and even be disposed of by the master who feels that he has lost face.
It took forty minutes to finish the meal.
After the wine and food were full and all the leftovers had been taken away, Ebeni Abo picked up the cylindrical energy storage device placed beside him and asked with interest: "Sos, what made you produce Did you come up with the idea of creating such an interesting magic item? Or, what was your original idea? "
"Well... I think it was probably to create a device that can absorb, store and release all energy. It's a device. But unfortunately, after hundreds of failed experiments, we finally got this semi-finished product that can store electrical energy."
Zuo Si made up a reason casually.
In fact, the essence of the cylindrical energy storage device is just to use the power of magic to simulate the principle of storing electricity in a battery.
Like "Capitalist's Ecstasy", it is a typical combination of technology and magic.
The biggest feature of this type of "invention and creation" is that after using the creator's special ability, the production process becomes very simple, and the material cost is also shockingly low.
The real value has never been the item itself, but the unique technology contained in it.
But Ebeni Abo didn’t know this. Instead, he showed a thoughtful expression: “So that’s it! Then you can increase this energy storage device by enlarging the volume. "The upper limit?"
"You mean...build a similar device that is huge and can hold more electricity?" Zuo Si was obviously surprised.
You know, the biggest advantage of the cylindrical energy storage device is that it is easy to carry around.
If it increases in size like crazy, it will lose its value as a magic item.
Just imagine, if the energy storage device is enlarged ten times, twenty times, or thirty times, how hard would it be for the average person to carry it?
Is it possible to use livestock or horse-drawn carriages to carry it as a mobile fort?
What a joke!
If you simply want a large energy storage device, it is better to build a simple mage tower.
The latter can surpass the former by a dozen or so 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., are obviously more suitable for the requirements.
