Roland and Lyudmila returned to the Grand Samovar, and their companions had already slept.
Early the next morning, Roland got up to wash, had a quick bite to eat, and then asked Nikita out of the hotel and came to the city gate to greet a distinguished guest from afar.
At seven o'clock, a silver circle suddenly appeared in the open space outside the city gate, and an elderly white-robed archmage walked out of the teleportation pillar.
Nikita hurriedly pulled Roland by the hand, and quickly stepped forward to bow to the thin old man with snow-white hair.
"Master Kosygin, I would like to ask you to take a trip, you have worked hard."
The old man smiled and shook his head: "It's only a few seconds of work to teleport over, not to mention hard work, Nikita, you've been traveling for almost a year, and you've suffered a lot."
"I'm fine, thanks to my companions taking care of me."
Nikita glanced back at Roland and motioned for him to come over and introduce herself.
Before Roland could speak, Kosygin preemptively said, "No need to be introduced, I know that you are the voter of Lady Destiny Sindra, the son of General Rudolph." ” Roland was not surprised that he revealed his identity at his words, after all, the other party was the chief scholar of the prophecy school of the Far Eastern Lighthouse, a level 15 prophet and a part-time level 5 archmage, infinitely close to the big bull in the legendary realm, and it was effortless to investigate the details of a hairy boy.
"Master Kosygin, it's an honor to listen to your teachings, teleportation is forbidden in Kitland, and I would like to ask you to move to the inn to talk about it."
"I really miss Kitland's lock, when I followed my mentor to Kitland City to participate in the construction of this project, I was still a fledgling apprentice, and now I am returning to my hometown, and I feel that the city has changed a lot."
Master Kosygin looked around the street scene and sighed with emotion.
"Yes, in recent years, Lord Beowulf has invested a lot in urban construction, and the expanding arena is also an important part of the urban construction project, and we invite you to come today to talk about the financing of the urban construction and the tournament in Kitland."
"Nikita mentioned this to me, and I heard that Beowulf hired you as his financial advisor to take charge of the financing plan, and you have such a mind and vision at a young age, and you deserve to be the darling of Ms.
Sindra."
"I'm ashamed, I'm also chasing ducks to the shelves, and I have no choice but to do it, the proposed plan is very immature, and I ask the master for more guidance."
While speaking, the three of them walked into the big samovar hotel, and Roland booked a box on the second floor in advance, and invited Kosygin to sit down and poured him a cup of tea himself.
Nikita closed the door and asked Roland, "Do you want to set up a magic alarm so that no one disturbs you?"
Kosygin smiled, "The little trick of the magic alarm can only fool the layman, so I'll do it."
With a wave of his robe's sleeves, he was not seen chanting a spell or making a spell casting gesture, and a magical power of his own spread out, shielding the entire room and creating an absolutely safe and private space.
Mage's Vault Roland recognized the spell cast by Kosygin and couldn't help but be secretly amazed.
"Mage's Secret Room" is a 5-ring protection spell, which can isolate all external detection and detection, prophecy spells, counting the instantaneous super magic is equivalent to a 9-ring spell, Kesygin casually used it, not only reflecting a strong spell casting ability, but also showing his rigorous and meticulous style, otherwise he would not occupy a valuable 9-ring spell slot to prepare this kind of anti-eavesdropping spell.
"Master, this is the prospectus I wrote for short-term financing bonds, the time is too tight, it may be a little sloppy, please advise."
Roland handed a dossier in both hands.
Kosygin opened it and looked at it, without saying a word, only the sound of turning pages in the room, and the atmosphere became more and more solemn.
Nikita couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and quietly held Roland's hand under the table.
Roland noticed that the mage girl's palms were sweaty, and turned his head to smile at her: "Don't worry, we are well prepared, there is no problem." ” However, the wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Kosygin was still silent after reading the dossier, supporting the table with his arms crossed, his ten fingers crossed and his head bowed in contemplation, as if he was calculating something.
After a long time, he finally spoke: "Don't mind, young man, if you say something frustrating, you think about the situation in Kitland City too simply. ” "Master, my plan has a loophole" "No, you still don't understand what I mean, in fact, your plan is perfect, if you are willing to work at Lighthouse Bank, don't dare to say anything else, I personally welcome you to come to the investment department as my assistant at any time, but you are still too young, only calculating the gains and losses at the business level but ignoring a more critical factor, business activities cannot be separated from the social environment and exist in isolation."
Roland pondered for a moment, and heard the hint from the old man's words, "Are you saying that I didn't fully consider the political factor" Kosygin nodded: "It's hard for you to imagine how fierce the power struggle in Kitland City is, you obviously support Beowulf, but why is Sergei's side, which is obviously inferior to Beowulf and his wife, still exist today, have you thought about why" "Some external forces secretly supported Sergei and strongly supported him in his confrontation with Lord Beowulf" "Yes, there is more than one force that secretly supports Sergei, and we in Beacon Hill don't want to offend those people, you are young, why bother wading through this pool of troubled waters, do you understand, child, in the case of Kitland, money is not the most important thing, the important thing is politics."
Roland smiled bitterly, "Master, to tell you the truth, I didn't go to help Beowulf and his wife solve their financial difficulties just to earn commissions, this is also a politically first decision, and now I have no way out." ” Kosygin sighed, "I can understand your distress, if you just take a little risk, for Nikita's sake, I can help you, but just now I used prophecy to divinate the bad fortune of this bond, and the result is very bad, the providence in the dark tells us that the probability of credit default on this bond is very high, is there a better choice for you to sit in my place" Roland was speechless, his eyes could not hide his disappointment.
If, before the crossing, on Earth, someone told him to invest in divination, he would persuade him to go to the psychiatric department, but in Vares, in this world of divine power, you can't help but believe in evil.
Spells such as prophecy, divination, telepsy, and otherworldly exploration can all make people prophetic to some extent.
Prophecy spells do not provide precise details, and will usually only choose the most likely outcome out of the three possibilities of "good", "bad", and "mixed", which may not be accurate for individual events, and when the sample is large enough, you will find that the curve made by the prophecy result is infinitely close to the truth.
So when you're undecided about a huge investment, it's worth using spells to divinate the bad luck.
Of course, there are spells that predict good fortune and there are spells that interfere with prophecies and create illusions, and it occasionally happens that the illusion is mistaken for a prophecy.
But Kosygin could hardly have made such a mistake.
After all, he is the chief master of the prophecy school of the Far Eastern Lighthouse, and in this field, he is the leading authority
