The salon quickly reached its climax, with the Viscount himself speaking. His two daughters, twin sisters, made their entrance together, their identical looks and figures dressed in matching fashion, instantly drawing admiration from everyone.
Despite not being particularly beautiful, they managed to be quite charming with the help of their elaborate attire.
The atmosphere grew livelier, but Li Chengyi's brow was furrowed as he sat quietly in a corner, sipping his juice.
The plan had failed.
He had not anticipated the mages' knowledge to be so closely guarded that even his secret research was not permitted.
It seemed he would have to make some minor adjustments to his previous actions.
He pondered his future moves inwardly, his income from the three towns within his Baron's domain was just enough for his daily book purchases.
But if he sought more funds to cover expenses related to mages, it would be far from sufficient.
Therefore, additional sources of income were necessary.
