Chapter 94: It's Rampant and Domineering
"Sir, please don't move and stay in this position...... You can relax a little, because it's just a portrait, so it doesn't need too much artistic processing, it will be very fast. ”
The painter wearing a Scottish-style beret raised his brush and compared the face of Zhu Jue in front of him, the portrait on the drawing board in front of him was mostly completed.
Last night, Zhu Jue came over as a gentleman to announce the appointment of the new president, and this morning he changed back to his original identity and came to the Chamber of Commerce again under the leadership of the black swan, but the number of post stations in various places is currently more than a dozen, so it is naturally impossible to just inform the post stations on the side of Dillas Harbor to know.
Do you come to every post station like this once?
Not to mention whether there is time, Zhu Jue doesn't have this mind, so at the suggestion of the black swan, he decided to notify by letter, and the portrait that is being painted now is also part of the letter, and after the painting is completed, it will be taken to someone to copy, and then sent to the post stations of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce in various cities together with the letter, which is to let the managers of the post stations in various places know the new president first.
"There's no such thing as a bullshit seizure of power, and I don't want to have to deal with people who are loyal to gentlemen in the future. ”
After sitting for nearly half an hour, the impatience on Zhu Jue's face was already visible to the naked eye, and he did not shy away from the fact that the painter was in front of him, and looked directly at the black swan who came in from the door and said.
"Please rest assured, the gentleman has a strong grip on the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce, and since you are his designated successor and have the official instrument of transfer, you have the right to let anyone who questions this matter leave the Chamber of Commerce, let alone someone who is not long-sighted...... The gentleman isn't dead, is he?"
The black swan is not like Zhu Jue, who still cares about the presence of outsiders, and goes around and round and round the words back.
The painter, who was "concentrating on painting", looked at the young man opposite without a trace, and the movements of his hands immediately became much faster, and when he finished painting, he was even more reluctant to stay for a moment, took the painting off the drawing board, handed it to the black swan, and turned to leave.
"It's finally over, what's in your hand?"
Zhu Jue twisted his neck, and his eyes inadvertently saw the delicate card in the black swan's hand.
"The invitation of the governor of the Governor of the port of Dilas for a drinking party, it may be that the matter of the gentleman's return was known to him, so he sent the invitation, and now you are the president, so ...... I'll explain the situation to them later. ”
The invitation sent to the gentleman, Zhu Jue replaced the past as the president of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce, but when he entered the door, everyone regarded him as a gentleman, and he had to explain it himself, and the black swan knew that it was definitely no fun when he saw Zhu Jue's expression, so he changed his mouth and accepted the invitation back without saying a word.
"I want to go out for a walk alone, you still have to deal with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, help me pay more attention to the things related to the Scorching Box, don't the Dream Eaters want to ask us for such a thing, just wait for them to come, just ask what this treasure is for." ”
Zhu Jue didn't have any special goal in this trip to the Dream Realm, to a large extent, he just wanted to experience the effect of the Dream Pill and see what the Burning Box was, so he didn't plan to stay for a long time, but now that he has mastered the resources of the Shimmering Gold Chamber of Commerce, it is undoubtedly a waste not to use them for some benefits for himself,
"Also, you help me pay attention to some things like moonshine and incense that are good for the soul, and potions...... Anyway, prepare a copy of all the good materials, and I'll look at the scrolls in the space ring by myself when I go back. ”
"The Chamber of Commerce's expedition should be back this month, maybe they'll bring back some valuable information, do you want to wait a little longer?"
The role of the expedition team in this era is not only to go to various remote places to adventure, in the process they will also pay attention to all kinds of valuable items and news, a large part of the reason why the major chambers of commerce form or hire expeditions are here, a chamber of commerce really wants to be bigger, after all, it must have a foundation, otherwise there is no goods for even Zhen's residence, what to compete with other chambers of commerce?
Not to mention that gentlemen are more hungry for these strange items or news than other chamber of commerce presidents, so the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce has never been less spent on expeditions, and correspondingly, the things brought back by expeditions can often give people unexpected joy.
"Got it, I'll talk about it then, haven't you come back yet?"
Zhu Jue, who had been in the room for nearly half a morning, really didn't have the heart to sit back in his chair and listen to the black swan talk about the expedition, so he left the chamber of commerce with a casual perfunctory sentence and wandered around the port of Dillas alone.
Grand Elder Attar once said that people from all over the Dream Realm could be seen in the harbor of Dilas, and it was true, when I came through the Dream Elixir yesterday, it happened to be dusk and nightfall, for people in this era, the nightlife is not so rich, taverns and nightingale shops are the best places to go, and for ordinary people, sleeping at home at night is the best choice.
But it was morning, one of the busiest times of the day, and Zhu Jue walked through the streets, and almost every few steps he could see some travelers or sailors whose faces and dresses were quite different from those of the locals, either talking and laughing in groups of three or five, or alone in the veil, watching some sneaky shuttle through the streets.
Zhu Jue's original idea was to find a tavern with a decent style, and go in to find someone to inquire about some news, but when he really arrived at the door and felt the excitement, Zhu Jue stopped instead.
What should I ask when I go in?
This question suddenly appeared in my mind and quickly took root.
Ask these people if they know anything that can make them stronger?
No one knows his strength better than Zhu Jue, many things have actually lost their effect to him, such as the red and honey-colored gems he got before, the first few effects are not bad, but the more he goes back, the less power he can draw from them.
If he wants to be strong, Zhu Jue must find a new way, and the sailors in the tavern can really know this kind of thing, take 10,000 steps back and say, assuming that someone really knows, then is he crazy or full of food to tell himself such precious news to this stranger?
How do those people who sit down in the tavern at every turn and stuff the bartender with one or a few gold coins to know important information do it?
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Jue was a little excited, just when someone came out of the tavern, a smell of sweat and the smell of wine that could not be talked about likes and dislikes hit his face, and his mind that was still a little wavering a second ago was immediately firm, and he turned around and left the tavern and returned to the street.
It's just that there are no wind chimes by his side, and Zhu Jue's originally good interest is quickly consumed by the thinking in front of the tavern and the black stone tower around him, and he doesn't even bother to continue shopping, but goes straight down the road last night to the beach.
There is a difference between the beach at night and the beach in the morning, and last night I just felt that the normal beach was shining in the sun, and the cool sea breeze in the early morning gave people a different feeling.
Walking down the stairs on the outside of the breakwater, Zhu Jue was ready to step over the large boulders that had been abandoned nearby after the construction of the surrounding buildings to take a stroll on the beach.
However, only halfway through, passing by a half-human-high granite, Zhu Jue's footsteps stopped.
He was unexpectedly familiar with the stone in front of him, not because he had been here last night, but because he had seen it somewhere else......
At that moment, half a palm-sized crab emerged from the sand beneath the rock.
Facing Zhu Jue.
Lord it over!
