Rolda sighed:
"I don't have any talent to begin with, I'm just trying it out. Maybe my uncle is right, I should consider taking over the business of the Chamber of Commerce."
"Goodbye, Lord Haha."
Rolda bid farewell to Haha and left Mammon Street.
He walked toward the west side of Kanriel.
The city of Kanriel is long and narrow; it only extends east to west, not north to south.
If you enter Kanriel from Bandanda in the north, then the right side is the west side and the left side is the east side.
If you come from Rovanpu in the south, then the opposite is true.
The outer perimeters of the two main cities, north and south, are not connected; only the inner city areas are connected.
To travel from Bandanda to Rovanpu, you need to enter the inner city from the northern outskirts of the main city, then enter the southern outskirts of the main city, and finally exit the city.
He walked up to a magnificent building.
This building stands out among the surrounding buildings, not only because its height and area far exceed those of the others, but also because the materials used in its construction are clearly different and cannot be compared to inferior materials.
The sign on the building features the Chamber of Commerce's emblem, depicting two hands, one above the other, with the upper hand holding a money bag and the lower hand in a receiving gesture.
It's late at night now, but light can still be seen emanating from the building; this is the building's lighting magic at work.
Rolda lightly touched the door, and it opened slowly and automatically.
He entered the building, where only one person was sitting on a red sofa in the lobby, reading an old book.
"came back?"
Bota spoke softly from the sofa.
"came back."
Rolda nodded slightly:
"Uncle, I met a very important person today, in front of Master Tata's door."
"What a coincidence."
Botta slowly closed the book in his hands:
"I also met a remarkable young man today. Did you try to recruit him as I instructed before?"
Rolda shook her head:
"His identity seems to be rather special, so we probably can't recruit him."
"What a coincidence."
Botta picked up his wine glass and began to speak:
"The one I encountered was the same."
After saying that, he froze:
"We two... we're not talking about the same person, are we?"
Chapter 92 A Bumpy Journey to Recruit Students
Rolda was taken aback when she heard her uncle say that.
He hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Probably not... The person I met here seems to be a student that Master Tata is preparing to take on."
"That's definitely not the same person."
Botta sighed:
"The person I met was a teacher who was about to enroll at the Adventurers' Academy."
After saying that, he looked up and realized what he had said:
"Master Tata is taking on students?"
Rolda nodded:
"I was hoping to try my luck, but it seems like that's not going to happen now."
"Uncle, you didn't see Reina's face. She burst into tears right there."
"By the way, Uncle, how was the match at the arena tonight? Was it exciting?"
Botta raised his glass and took a small sip of red wine:
"It was absolutely fantastic; it's a shame you didn't see it."
“Master Tata has actually taken on students. We need to find an opportunity to get to know him. Tell me what happened.”
Upon hearing this, Roldah recounted the entire evening's events to Botta.
After listening, Botta frowned deeply:
"You mean, Haha, you called out the name of a man named White in that letter? Master Tata also mentioned White?"
Rolda nodded, looking curiously at her uncle:
"Uncle, do you know this guy named White?"
Botta frowned and didn't answer Rolda immediately, seemingly deep in thought.
Finally, his brow relaxed, and he murmured:
"It shouldn't be just one person... That person had a hard time killing the demon bat."
Rolda, seeing her usually calm and collected uncle's expression, became even more curious:
"Uncle, who are you referring to as the person you're talking about?"
Botta looked at his nephew, hesitated for a moment, and slowly said:
"The young man I met tonight is also named White."
Rolda's eyes widened; it must be a coincidence, right?
When Botta saw his nephew's expression, he knew that he was thinking the same thing as him.
He slowly leaned back into the red velvet sofa, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
"Rumor has it that Master Tata has wanted a student for a long time, but hasn't found a suitable one yet."
"Once Master Tata's new student is confirmed, we need to find time to pay him a visit."
“If the White who helped deliver the message, a student of Master Tata, is the same White I know, things will get interesting.”
"Margaret is probably going to suffer a big setback this time."
"Perhaps, in terms of the arena, the people we've assigned can advance even further."
Rolda listened to her uncle's words, completely bewildered.
He couldn't keep up with Bota's train of thought at all.
What is the relationship between that man named White and Lady Margaret of the Arena? And who are the people the Arena has assigned?
After racking his brains without finding a solution, he sighed.
It seems there is still a gap between myself and my uncle. If I want to take over the business of the Chamber of Commerce for my uncle, I still have a long way to go.
Mamen Street, at Tata's residence.
Luo Xiu slowly opened his eyes. All around him was a void of darkness, gloomy and cold, filled with faint clouds and mist, as if he were in another space.
He reached out and touched the depths of the darkness.
Soon, a binding force returned to his fingers.
He realized that he was still in the fog surrounding Tata.
He took out the pocket watch that old White had given him; the dial showed that a long time had passed since he arrived at Mammon Street.
A little calculation reveals that the time has long exceeded the normal timeframe for Tata to bring him into the room.
In other words, Tata did not release him voluntarily.
Luo Xiu pushed his hand forcefully into the depths of the dark clouds, but there was still a binding force preventing him from leaving.
But Luo Xiu could sense that this power was below his own.
He stretched out both hands at the same time and exerted force suddenly.
tear-
It was as if a black curtain had been torn open.
The firelight from the fireplace poured in through the gap.
Luo Xiu's figure emerged directly from the torn opening.
Before me was a spacious and elegant living room, where the fireplace flickered gently, radiating warmth.
Two sofas were placed in the center of the hall, and a bottle of wine from an unknown region sat on the reception table. It looked like it hadn't been drunk in a long time and was covered in dust.
Tata, shrouded in black mist, sat on the sofa and watched Luo Xiu appear.
"It's out."
Tata's blurred face made it impossible to discern his expression.
Luo Xiu stretched his body, and a crackling sound rang out:
"Did Master Tata not let me out on his own so that I could rest a little longer?"
He was self-aware; as a fifth-tier being, if they really wanted to trap him, he wouldn't have any power to fight back.
Moreover, after waking up from the mist, he could feel that his physical fatigue had been relieved, and his condition was much better than before he entered the mist.
Tata didn't say anything.
He didn't release Luo Xiu voluntarily, partly because he wanted to use his Dark Domain Mist to help Luo Xiu recover from his hidden ailment, as compensation for Haha's attack on Luo Xiu.
Another reason was to test Luo Xiu's power.
