Chapter 30: An Apple-Triggered Bankruptcy

The early morning of Apollo City is definitely the wonder of the whole continent, generally speaking, the early morning is the most energetic time in the whole city, people have just woken up from sleep, with full of physical and mental comfort and motivation ready to devote a whole day of work, but Apollo City is the opposite, early morning is the most sluggish time in the whole city, the streets and alleys are lying drunk people and stumbling towards the house, the wine and wealth are exerted here, the life of Apollo City can make you deeply realize that money is really a good thing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Standing in front of a quadrangular building that looked quite old, Barnett took a deep breath, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as his own kennel, but as soon as he saw Dolina holding a skull behind him, the whole person collapsed, and his face was only loveless, God, why are you punishing me like this......

The skull in Dorina's hand looked at the quadrangular tower in front of her, although it was a little dilapidated, but it was still difficult to resist the oncoming extravagance: "I can't see it, it turns out that you are still a rich man?"

"That was before...... Barnett sighed helplessly, "Our family used to be a figure in Apollo City, but now it has long since declined." “

Indeed, open the iron door and enter the house, the house has long been overgrown with weeds because no one has cleaned it all year round, Barnett casually tied the carriage in the courtyard, took out the key from his bosom to open the door, and entered the door is a spiral staircase divided on both sides, the entrance hall is large enough to hold a ball, whether it is the carved printed walls or the antique floor all show the grace and luxury of this place, but now it looks desolate, many of the carvings on the wall have fallen off, and the floor will make a "crunch" when stepped on The giant chandelier that was supposed to hang from the ceiling was now only a bare iron rod.

Dorina looked at the hall that might have been comparable to the Duke's Palace where she lived: "It seems that you are also a person with a story, uncle." “

Leon also smiled: "Thank you so much for the kind uncle who is willing to help us get into the city so smoothly." “

Barnett came out of the kitchen, was holding a towel dipped in water and applying it to his right cheek, the injury on his right face is not completely healed yet, he almost stumbled and fell to the ground when he heard this, don't say it as if he wanted to help, it's really bad luck, he will encounter these two disasters again, and the worst thing is that this skull is still the "worst human in history".

What else could he do? Expose them to the soldiers at the gates? Leon had told him with a wicked smile that he would be convinced that he was also an accomplice, and Barnett had no doubt that he would be torn to pieces by the angry crowd.

"You really," Barnett carefully looked at the two scourges, "really just until healed?"

"Hmm......" Dolina smirked, "Maybe...... Should...... yes......"

Barnett's face twitched inadvertently, these two guys are relying on themselves, but there is no way, they really have no way to take these two hob meat, they can't beat it, they still have a handle in their hands,

Barnett feebly pointed upstairs, "There's a room up there...... Most of the shops in Apollo City are closed during the day, so wait until evening. “

"By the way," Dolina was still in good spirits, "how did your family decline, can you tell us about it?"

Barnett also seemed to want to get rid of these two mouthy guys as soon as possible, so he had to talk.

Barnett's father and mother eloped to Apollo City, but unlike ordinary elopement stories, Barnett's father had a strong business acumen even if he lost the support of his family, and it only took a dozen years to start quickly in Apollo City, and he saw at a glance the potential of Duke Apollo, who was still fleeing everywhere at that time, and provided great help to Duke Apollo.

Later, the Duke of Apollo won the name of the duke, and Barnett's father obtained a very high social status, and his business became bigger and bigger, and even ordered a baby parent, just waiting for the daughter of the Duke of Apollo to grow up and get married, during which his wife, that is, Barnett's mother, died of illness, and Barnett became a famous playboy in Apollo City without supervision, and lived a life of spending and drinking every day, until one day about five years ago......

At that time, his father accepted a commission from the empire, that is, to open the tunnel from the Danube Plain to the Iron Soldier City, at that time the Iron Soldier City was still the forefront of the attack against the Demon Realm, stationed a large number of troops and adventurers, naturally needed a steady stream of reserve military resources, and the Danube Plain is the richest area of the Empire, where there are unlimited war resources, but unfortunately between the Iron Soldier City and the Danube Plain, there is an extremely steep mountain called "Broken Cloud Mountain" in the middle, to transport food to the "Iron Soldier City" It would be a long detour, and the road would be very unsafe, so the Empire promised that anyone who could open the passage from the Danube Plain to the "Iron City" would receive a large number of rewards and titles.

Although Barnett's father eloped out of the family, he always wanted to be recognized by the family, and this is the biggest opportunity, as long as he opens the tunnel, he will get a lot of wealth and status, and the family will accept him again, so Barnett's father wants to open the tunnel with all his might.

The emperor pays off, after investing all his wealth, the tunnel has been completed nine times out of ten, and success is close at hand, but it is a pity that Barnett's father is also seriously ill at this time and is about to die, but before leaving, he will be properly placed in the final job, as long as this project is completed, Barnett will be re-accepted by the family, even if Barnett is a stupid son of a landlord's family, with this merit the family will definitely raise Barnett, so Barnett's father is relieved to pass away.

Then on that day, things took a huge turn, and Broken Cloud Mountain suddenly split into two sections!

It is said that on that day, a thunderbolt fell from the sky on the top of Broken Cloud Mountain, and the electric blade split Broken Cloud Mountain into two sections, and forcibly opened up the valley from the Danube Plain to the Iron Soldier City, which is undoubtedly much safer and more convenient than taking the tunnel of Barnett's house, so ...... Overnight, Barnett went from a playboy to a poor boy......

Speaking of this, Dolina couldn't help but grow her mouth, wow, this bad luck, it's really against the sky, it's just sad for the listener to cry, Dolina couldn't help but comfort: "That, Uncle Barnett, don't be too sad." “

Barnett sighed: "If it's a man-made disaster, there's still an object of revenge, but this is a natural disaster, and I've figured it out a long time ago......"

"It's not a natural disaster," Leon, who was in Dolina's hands, opened his mouth and said: "You mean that the canyon of Broken Cloud Mountain made your family bankrupt, right, that canyon was not split by thunder and lightning, how could it be possible, how could thunder and lightning be so smooth, obviously it was cut by a knife, this thing is all thanks to that kid of Doron......"

Thoughts go back to the day five years ago, it was the day when the sixth generation of brave Leon and his partners set out to fight the demon world, but on this day his partners were all late, only Doron and Leon came to the meeting place first - the top of Broken Cloud Mountain, the bored Leon took out an apple from his arms, but as a brave man with high morals, how could Leon eat alone? So Leon put the apple on the ground: "Come, Doron, you split it in half, and we will each have half of it." “

Doron glanced at the apple, pulled out the legendary famous sword from his waist, and walked away......

Legend has it that on that day, the gods were moved by the courage of human beings to fight against the demon world, and sent down thunder and lightning to separate the Broken Cloud Mountain, which provided great help to the human race against the attack of the demon world......
