Chapter 37: Planning for the Future
The standard that Li De asked for was based on the gift money that Weidelin prepared for the man when he attended the wedding of his fifth son Erich in the original book.
Erich had to pay this price in order to marry into a knight's family and obtain the inheritance rights as a son-in-law.
After all, the other party is going to hand over a home to him, so it is different from the ordinary marriage.
When Arthur saw the coin bag thrown by Reed, he took it steadily in his hand.
After opening it and taking a look, Arthur looked up and asked, "What will his future be like?"
"Is it important?" Li De asked back.
Arthur remained silent.
"Sir Arthur, I don't hope to see you again." After saying that, Reed disappeared from the spot.
The next afternoon, Li Decai, who had a good sleep, walked out of a hotel in the royal capital.
After a long stretch, Reed found something to eat. He had been planning since he came to the world of Eight Men. Now he finally got Alfred's magic bag, which means he has completed the goal of the first stage.
Therefore, Li De planned to relax.
Because after that, he will devote himself to the research of magic in the world of Eight Men.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Reed finished reading the notebook left by Alfred, and he also learned most of the advanced magic recorded in it.
At this point, Li De stopped.
In fact, as far as studying is concerned, Li De's past six months can only be considered a last-minute cramming effort, and he is still far from truly mastering it.
Moreover, the magical knowledge in the world of Eight Men is far from being learned in half a year.
The reason for this sudden attack is to deal with the situation where magic may be displayed later.
Now that he is ready, Li De plans to start the next stage of his plan.
After leaving the royal capital, Li De teleported himself to Brechberg.
Walking towards the mansion of Margrave Breichrod, Li De soon arrived at the huge gate of the mansion.
"Stop! This is the residence of Margrave Breichrod. No one who has nothing to do with this should leave immediately." The guarding soldier shouted at Li De who was approaching.
"Please inform that the magician Li De wants to meet the Marquis." Li De hooked his finger at the soldier, and the soldier flew towards Li De involuntarily. Then Li De spoke to the soldier face to face.
"I understand, Master Magician." After being put down by Li De, the soldier said hurriedly, and then ran directly into the mansion.
Soon, a butler welcomed Reed in, and then took him directly to the study where Marquis Amadeus Freitag von Breichroeder worked.
After opening the door and following the butler in, Reed saw two people. One was a relatively young marquis, and the other was a middle-aged man who looked a little vicissitudes of life. His name was Brantak Linstad, and he was Alfred Redford's teacher.
"Dear Mr. Magician, I wonder what business you have in coming to see me for?" asked Marquis Amadeus.
"I know a friend named Alfred Rayford, who is here to return some items that should have been returned to their original owners." Reed said. "Mr. Reed, do you know Alfred Rayford? Sorry, it's Alfred's teacher, Brantak Linstag." This time, the one who spoke was the middle-aged man with a bit of vicissitudes of life, Brantak Linstag.
"It's Lord Brantak. My apologies. I ran into Lord Alfred on my way to the Demon Forest. I didn't expect that our reunion after so many years would be in this form. Fortunately, I was able to accompany him during his last moments, and before he became a lich, he gave me his magic bag.
Then he told me to return the supplies for 2,000 people, as well as the monster materials, meat and herbs obtained during the expedition, to the Marquis. I should have come to Brechberg right after I got them, but I was delayed for a while because of something. I hope the Marquis doesn't mind. "Li De made up an excuse.
In fact, Li De didn't have to return these supplies, and he could even sell them directly in Wangdu, which would be completely fine.
But Li De couldn't be sure whether he would regard this world as his permanent base in the future.
If the decision is finally made, then we will definitely have to deal with the nobles of this world or the Helmut Kingdom.
After all, Li De would definitely not be willing to be a civilian, so the supplies belonging to Margrave Breichrod should not be handled casually.
Because once Li De is determined to stay, he will definitely set his sights on the territory of Knight Baumeister.
When the time comes, when he wants to fight for the ownership of this territory, he will be able to use this favor.
Even if he finally decided not to stay, the value of these materials was limited. At least in Reed's eyes, they were not as valuable as the mansion left by Alfred in Brechberg.
"Of course not. This is really good news." To be honest, Amadeus, who inherited the title, has not had an easy life since his father went on the expedition to the Demon Forest. The supplies returned by Li De were like timely rain.
"Sir, were you the one who sent Alfred away?" Brantak asked.
"I used holy magic to purify Alfred." Reed said honestly.
"Thank you!" Brankart said in a deep voice.
"Mr. Brantak, I dare not accept this thanks. After all, I, Lord Alfred, also paid the reward in advance. Besides, haven't I already gained the friendship of the Marquis?" Reed said, pointing to the magic bag around his waist.
"Hahahaha, of course, I'm very happy to make friends like Magician Reed!" Amadeus laughed happily, not at all dissatisfied with Reed's implicit reminder.
After all, a magician who can associate with Alfred is definitely not a mediocre one.
"Then let's start the handover. I also want to finish it early and then go see what the house left by Alfred looks like." Reed said directly.
"Then let's hand it over first!" Amadeus nodded immediately.
Next came the transfer of the supplies in the magic bag. However, it was time-consuming to count the various supplies in Alfred's magic bag. Even though most of the work did not require Reed, it still took two or three hours to complete the transfer.
"Mr. Reed, what are your plans next? Are you going to settle down in Alfred's house?" Amadeus expressed his intention of recruiting him implicitly.
"I won't stay in this city. If the conditions are met later, I will move the residence left by Alfred to the royal capital." Reed shook his head and said.
"That's really a pity." Amadeus said with some regret.
