29 The Nobility's Background

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Winne, as the eldest daughter of the House of Alex, who was also in charge of the massive Alex Consortium, was the pride of the nobility, so her every movement was the focus in Grimm.

Even the civilians in the lower levels of the Grimm hierarchy knew that the jewel of the house of Alex had the elegant moniker of Grimm's most beautiful tulip.

Cain was born a scion of an aristocratic family. While her family was a minor nobility without much power, but he still paid attention to Lady Winnie the pride of the aristocracy that everyone admired and looked up to.

Such attention was comparable to an ordinary person following a superstar, full of yearning and distant dreams that could not be obtained.

"Greetings, I am Winnie."

Winnie was not angry when she heard Cain's whisper, and instead politely greeted the other party first.

The flattered Cain was so flustered he did not know where to put his hand.

When Viena saw the tulip of Grimm, her eyes looked a little wary and a little unabashedly envious and yearning.

This lady is so beautiful. If she were such a beautiful noble lady, perhaps Master Reed would not be so cold to her.

"Miss Winnie, it's an honor to meet the most beautiful lady is Grimm. I am the master of the Vermillion Tower, Reed Kaschar."

Reed slightly raised his head, and a faint polite smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he looked directly at the girl's eyes.

Her eyes were clear and bright, without any other shades of color.

While the face value and temperament of the girl before him were full marks, but for him who had already reached the realm where the mosaic was no issue, he still maintained enough grace and elegance.

Winnie bore the most appropriate of smiles on her mouth, as she saw Reed's pure eyes she was taken aback a little, and her heart inexplicably had a little more good feeling about this mage from the countryside.

Compared to those nobles who were only elegant on the surface, but the moment they turn around they look at her with the most obscene of gaze, this mage seemed to be really somewhat different.

Was that true for all geniuses?

"Winnie Alex, it should be my honor instead, Master Reed. To be able to get to know the most magically gifted mage, the disciple of Archmage Spock Russell, I think the house of Alex will glow with brilliance for this."

Such was the nobility, even if they knew the other side was just shining their horns, but when Reed looked at those beautiful violet eyes, he still felt good inside.

This was power.

"Miss Winnie, your words flatter me too much, perhaps only Master himself is deserving of your praise."

Master, Reed sighed in his heart.

While the Progenitor Vampire was arrogant, but he was also careful, and entered Grimm, using the identity of the heir of a border town nobility.

Reed Kaschar was a real name, but the holdings of that minor nobility had long been conquered by the orcs, and the heir to the minor noble house with the same name as him were probably long eaten clean by the wolves.

This could be said to be the perfect identity.

But the most bullshit of matters came, he had no idea what this asshole of a Progenitor Vampire was thinking, and became the disciple of one of the three Archmages of Grimm, Spock Russell upon entering Grimm three years ago.

But that was not the worst thing yet.

The most bullsh*t thing this guy had done after being a disciple of the Archmage was to be a total shut-in in his mage tower and had not even been to Spock's house once.

While the two had the title of master and disciple, but only Reed knew that they were no better than strangers.

He was not sure if that powerful Archmage had forgotten about him after studying magic.

The Progenitor Vampire was really the pinnacle of a resource waster. As for an archmage, well, there were only three of them in the city, so could you just imagine what kind of good stuff they would have hidden at home?

He had planned to visit Spock in a few days after familiarizing himself with the spells on his attribute panel. This powerful Archmage was definitely a great resource.

If the Goldwheat Guild had the banner of this archmage, then its development would not be so easily hindered.

Winnie smiled a little and did not dwell on the topic as she politely invited Reed into her office.

He was a magic genius and a magic genius who had the backing of an Archmage. It was a relationship worth making.

This was the most standard form of aristocratic behavior, always wooing useful people.

On the fifth floor, there was a large, elegantly decorated room with its windows facing the bustling streets of Grimm. From it, one could directly see the lord mayor's estate not too far away.

Viena, Cain, and Laurent were waiting in another office.

Cain looked at the spacious and luxurious rooms curiously.

"Viena, The Alex Consortium is the greatest guild in Grimm, right? The guild had already existed when Grimm was built over a thousand years ago. Do you think what Master Reed said could come true? Can the Goldwheat Guild really reach the same level as The Alex Consortium one day?"

Viena nodded firmly without any hesitation as she heard that.

"It will. Master Reed never lies."

When Master Reed took her from her mean stepmother's house to his tower and invalidated her stepmother's promise to marry her to a crippled nobleman, she had never doubted the man who had changed her life.

What Master Reed said would definitely be accomplished.

Just like how he had promised to take her back to his mage tower.

Laurent felt a little tickled by the naive words of the two young ones.

It was true that calves were not afraid of cheetahs. Would the Goldwheat Guild reach the same heights as The Alex Consortium?

These words could only be said by young people who had not been extorted by the underground factions and the nobility in Grimm.

Forget about reaching the heights The Alex Consortium, if the Goldwheat Guild could even reach one-tenth of that, Laurent would have thought of Reed as a great man.

How powerful was The Alex Consortium, which had taken root in Grimm for over a thousand years? It was something even the lord mayor dared not say.

"Master Reed, this is the first time we have met and talked. As expected of a genius mage, for you to be able to continuously study magic within your tower, this spirit of commitment is something I could learn from you."

In the office, Winnie sat on a gray rectangular sofa, and across the table filled with tea and snacks, was Reed.

After Reed sat down, he squinted, turning his head as he glanced at the fur covering the sofa, and the potent magic on it made him unusually comfortable.

"A Raging Grizzly?"

The Raging Grizzly were bear-like monsters that lived deep within the Farmountains and could exceed Level 15 when they reach adulthood.

Even a thousand-strong battalion may not be a match against an adult Raging Grizzly.

The fur of these beasts had been a most important conductor in the creation of a Fourth or Fifth Circle magic scroll, and the skin of an adult Raging Grizzly could sell for four to five thousand gold Pykes.

These sofa required at least two Raging Grizzly furs, and that meant the sofa he had just casually sat on was worth tens of thousands of gold Pykes.

These seemingly humble detail had Reed feeling that her background of an aristocrat charging headlong at him.

He was now a little interested in The Alex Consortium.

"Master Reed is really well-learned, but it is just two sofas. With the power you have, even dragon skin is not beyond your capability to hunt."

While Winne was saying things that she herself did not even believe, but her twinkling eyes made people think that she was being serious.

Reed shook his head. No wonder the Progenitor Vampire hated dealing with these people, their over-the-top politeness seemed just a little too fake.

A thought appeared in his mind, as he opened the attribute panel out of curiosity and focused his thought on the aristocratic lady before him.

Whoosh...

An attribute panel appeared before his eyes.

Reed was taken aback, and when he looked up at Winnie again, his gaze had a marked change in it.

Was this girl's background not a little too much?
