The next day.
Early morning.
Rennes, accompanied by more than ten bodyguards, rushed towards the territory of the Karlok family at high speed.
The Karlok family's territory is located east of the Rhine region.
It is about four hundred kilometers away from the town of Xiongying.
After driving for most of the day,
Rennes and the others arrived at the Karlok family's estate.
After announcing their identities,
The butler of the Karlok family led Rennes into the guest room.
One minute later,
A tall muscular man hurriedly ran in.
He bears a resemblance to Rennes.
It's obvious that they are related by blood.
"Father, you finally came."
Seeing Rennes, Red couldn't help but get excited.
"You're already a father yourself! Yet you're so reckless, not at all mature."
Seeing this, Rennes, as the old father, couldn't help but give Red a slap on the head, admonishing him.
This sudden slap instantly wiped the excitement off Red's face.
His gaze towards Rennes was filled with resentment.
"Speak up! What's the matter that made you write a letter asking me to come?"
Ignoring his son's gaze, Rennes asked while drinking tea.
To be honest, he was quite curious about what his eldest son wanted to talk to him about.
"Father, I have made an astonishing discovery."
Upon hearing this, Red finally remembered the main issue and spoke with a serious expression.
"What discovery?"
Seeing the expression on his son's face, Rennes became even more curious.
"A while ago, I took people to search for minerals in the territory."
"We found a small vein of magic crystals under a small mountain valley..."
Without further ado, Red directly revealed his discovery.
"A vein of magic crystals!!"
Rennes was shocked.
This thing is quite valuable.
Magic crystals are a special type of crystal that naturally accumulates a large amount of magic power.
Mages can absorb and draw magic power from magic crystals to accelerate their own cultivation speed.
At the same time, magic crystals can also be used to make magic equipment, set up magic arrays, and so on...
It can be said to be a quite advanced and precious mineral.
A standard magic crystal measuring 3cm*3cm can be sold for five hundred gold coins in the market.
And a vein of magic crystals can yield at least tens of thousands of such standard magic crystals.
You can imagine how valuable this small vein of magic crystals that Red discovered is.
"You're really lucky, kid."
After coming back to his senses, Rennes couldn't help but sigh.
This is a windfall of millions of gold coins.
The accumulated wealth of a noble family that has been passed down for hundreds of years is probably only at this level.
If Red wasn't his own son, he would have been unable to resist the urge to snatch it.
Thinking of this...
Rennes also roughly understood the purpose of his eldest son calling him here.
It's either to sell this small vein of magic crystals to him, or to partner with the Habsburg family to mine this vein.
After all...
The Carlock family's strength is too weak.
It is simply impossible to keep this sudden windfall of a huge sum of money that fell from the sky.
One mishandling and it could even turn from fortune to misfortune, causing the entire Karlok family to "disappear" from the Rhine region.
But the Habsburg family is different.
As the Count family who owns the knight of Rennes, it is definitely not a problem to keep a small magic crystal vein.
As expected.
"Father, the Karlok family cannot keep this rare mineral vein."
"I want to sell this vein to you for 500,000 gold coins."
Red spoke very directly.
Between father and son, there is no need for any twists and turns.
"Okay!"
After considering for a moment, Rennes agreed directly.
Fifty thousand gold coins may seem like a lot.
But for a small magic crystal vein, it is simply a bargain.
Of course.
In this world, strength comes first.
The weak have no right to choose.
If it were other high-ranking nobles, they could easily dismiss the Karlok family with just a few thousand gold coins.
If they refuse to cooperate, the entire Karlok family would probably encounter misfortune.
And as a father, he certainly cannot treat his own child like that.
After discussing the plan, the father and son did not delay and immediately left, riding their horses towards the small mountain valley where Red discovered the magic crystal vein.
After a journey of more than ten minutes.
The two arrived at their destination.
Under the guidance of their eldest son, Red.
Rennes entered a recently excavated cave.
He walked to the end.
On the rock walls, pieces of differently shaped amethysts shimmered with a mysterious energy radiance.
Each one appeared quite pure.
Seeing this, Rennes also felt quite excited.
Indeed, these were magic crystals, no doubt about it.
And the quality seemed to be very good.
"According to the assessments of the family's miners, this vein can probably produce 12-16 tons of magic crystals, along with associated ores..."
Rennes explained the specific situation of this vein to his father.
Meanwhile, Rennes listened while using his Dou Qi to strengthen his hands, digging several meters into the cave.
The deeper he dug, the more magic crystals there were.
And the better the quality of the magic crystals.
Rennes even saw more precious and rare elemental crystals among them.
These elemental crystals were necessary materials for making high-level elemental magic wands.
Based on the purity and properties of the elements within the crystal, the market value of an elemental crystal ranged from 50,000 to 140,000 gold coins.
The one he dug up was a fire elemental crystal.
The quality was considered average.
If he were to sell it to a mage, it would fetch at least 80,000 gold coins.
"There are really a lot of good things in this small magic crystal vein!"
Rennes sighed in his heart.
The quality of this magic crystal vein was better than expected.
If the entire vein consisted of such high-quality magic crystals and elemental crystals, doubling its value would not be a problem.
It seems that the Habs family is really going to make a fortune.
