Chapter 33 Negotiation
How could one be a noble, even with the lowest title of knight, without some wisdom?

In fact, this old man is not too stupid. The only one who is stupid is the protagonist's eldest brother, Kurt.

Then looking back, a rare magician suddenly appeared here, and then stayed here for several days and refused to leave. Anyone would guess what the other party's intentions were.

If Reed stayed, he would be forcing Alfred to take action against him, a situation that Reed must avoid.

The best way to avoid it is to leave first, show that you have no ill intentions, and then return after Alfred is purified.

It just so happened that Li De needed to adjust the strategy he had prepared in advance because the timing was not right.

Therefore, he really needs to leave the Knight Baumeister Territory at the moment, complete other things first, and then come back to find the male protagonist.

After leaving the back mountain, Li De teleported twice and disappeared into the Liku Mountains.

It took Li De almost a day to walk out of the Liku Mountains and arrive at Breichberg, the main city of the Margrave of Breichlode.

After exchanging the magical beasts he hunted along the way for money, Li De rested for a night in Brechberg, and then boarded a spaceship to the royal capital the next day and headed straight for the royal capital.

It was not until three days later that the spaceship finally arrived at the capital of the Kingdom of Helmut.

After getting off the spaceship, Li De entered the royal city. After asking around with someone, he headed in one direction.

After most of the day, Li De arrived at the door of a mansion that looked pretty good in the area where the lower-level nobles gathered.

After the servant informed everyone, Li De was taken to the living room.

At this moment, a man in his thirties was already waiting here.

"Nice to meet you, Your Excellency Knight Baumeister. My name is Li De, and I'm a magician." Li De introduced himself first.

"Your Excellency the Magician, I am Wilhelm Hans von Baumeister." Wilhelm replied with aristocratic courtesy.

"Sir William, I am here this time mainly because I was entrusted by someone else to negotiate a matter with you, Sir William." Li De did not pretend to be profound and went straight to the point.

"I wonder who you are here for and what you are here to discuss?" William asked curiously.

"I'm here on behalf of His Excellency Arthur von Benno Baumeister." When Li Decai said this, William's face suddenly turned cold.

"Mr. Reed, if I heard you correctly, you said that you are here to negotiate the division of the family for that debtor, Baumeister?" William interrupted what Reed was about to say.

"Sir William, I am not a member of the Baumeister family, so you don't have to treat me in this way. In fact, the reason I am willing to make this trip is that Sir Arthur promised me ten gold coins as lobbying fees." Reed said slowly.

"Ten gold coins? I didn't expect he was so rich!" William's tone did not change because of Li De's words. Instead, it became a little sarcastic.

"No, Sir William, I think you have misunderstood something. The ten gold coins will not be paid to me by Sir Arthur, but by you, Sir William!" Reed said with a faint smile.

"What!? Sir Li De, are you kidding me?" William slammed the table and stood up after hearing this. "What happened, sir?" A lady appeared at the door of the living room and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I was just startled by a joke!" William immediately waved his hands with a sarcastic expression on his face.

"Sir William, let's continue!" Reed said.

"Go on, Mr. Reed, I don't think there is any need to continue this ridiculous negotiation." William said with a sneer.

"Sir William, you can't make decisions too quickly. Sir Arthur will certainly not underestimate your wisdom. Under such circumstances, since he still proposed negotiation, it proves that this matter is indeed worth negotiating." Reed explained calmly.

Hearing this, William frowned, because he really couldn't think of anything that would require him to take out ten gold coins as a reward to thank the magician in front of him on behalf of the branch family that should be complained about.

"Mr. Li De, I wonder if I can sit in on the conversation?" The lady who had just been standing at the door had now walked to William's side and asked.

"Of course, after all, Madam is qualified to know about this matter." Li De nodded.

"Then please ask Sir Reed to explain what needs to be negotiated." The lady asked on behalf of William.

"First of all, the other party's demands. The first is to offset the funds that Lord Arthur's grandfather borrowed from the clan to develop the territory. The second is to pay my lobbying fees." Li De said slowly.

"Sir Reed, please continue!" After Reed opened his mouth, William immediately became angry, but was stopped by his wife before he could speak, and then he spoke to Reed.

"Okay, ma'am, in my opinion, Sir Arthur's request is actually very reasonable. After all, what he is going to sacrifice is his most outstanding offspring." Reed said slowly.

"Mr. Reed, if I heard correctly, you are saying that Arthur von Benno Baumeister intends to sell his offspring to me?!" The anger on William's face was replaced by a sense of absurdity at this moment.

"Yes, that's what Sir Arthur meant. He plans to give his eighth son to Sir William. Whether he is adopted as a son or a son-in-law is entirely up to Sir William to decide." Reed nodded and said.

"Asshole, is he mocking me for not having a son?!" William was really angry this time, and even his wife was furious.

"Sir William and Mrs. William, I say the same thing again, don't get angry too early. If you miss the opportunity to make your family take off because of your anger, you will regret it very much." Li De's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to narrate in a slow and unhurried tone.

"Let the family take off?" William and his wife couldn't help but frown when they heard this.

"Sir William, if I said that Sir Arthur's eighth son, who showed the qualifications of a superior magician at the age of six, was the subject of this negotiation, would you still be so angry?" Reed suddenly lowered his voice.

Forehead.
Hearing this, William and Mrs. William were stunned for a moment.

It was not until several breaths later that he spoke with an incredulous look and tone: "Sir Li De, you are not kidding, are you?"

"No, Wendelin von Benno Baumeister is the disciple of the famous magician Alfred Redford." Reed shook his head and said.
