As soon as Phyllis left on her front foot, Helini couldn't stay still, and the golden ticket and frost and fire ring in her hand were like hot hands, stuffed into her arms and hurried away.

There was something unusual about his behavior, but in the eyes of those who didn't know, they just thought that he was too rich to stay for a long time, so he didn't think much about it.

On the contrary, it was Gallovena, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, wanting to leave but unable to leave immediately, barely calming down the guests around her and forcing a smile and continuing to communicate.

Wren looked at Helinny's departing figure and glanced at Viola.

What he meant was that he had to find someone to follow Helinny, and he couldn't let him run.

Viola shook her head slightly, not accepting the offer.

The trade went on, but the guests were still talking about the big deal, gathering in groups, each in small circles to discuss related topics.

Viola's face gradually softened, but there was still a trace of anger in her eyes, which made people think that she was in a bad mood now.

"What a good actor. ”

Wren complained to himself, picking up food to fill his stomach while secretly observing Gallovena.

When he was seven minutes full, Gallovena finally couldn't help it and said goodbye to Viola. Viola remained silent and sent him away herself.

The fair came to an end, and the guests were leaving.

Wren returned to the top of the fifth floor, and soon after, Viola came up.

As soon as she entered, she asked, "Wren, how did you find out that there was something wrong with that soul stone?"

Obviously, this question has been in her mind for a long time. Despite all the indications that the big deal at night was a scam and was aimed at herself, she still didn't understand how Wren could see through the true and false of the demon soul at a glance.

Wren had already thought of his words, stretched out two fingers, and said with a smile: "Two reasons." ”

"First, I also told you just now, if the demon soul of that mountain giant is real, why doesn't Helini fuse it himself? Mastering the second elemental bloodline is a huge improvement for the warlock, exchanging the demon soul for the best ring does not seem to be a loss, but it misses a great opportunity to increase his strength. ”

"That's Helinny's biggest doubt. ”

He paused for a moment and continued: "The second reason is a bit of a coincidence, the demon soul I fused comes with a very rare visual sensory element, which can assist in the identification of the demon soul, so I can detect at a glance that the demon soul is fake, and it is not a mountain giant at all. ”

Wren's words are seven points true and three points false, and it is also good for himself to properly show some ability to identify demon souls.

If you can get the name of the soul master in the future, you can also make a cover for the soul eye.

Viola nodded and sat down beside Wren.

She didn't ask Wren what his visual element was, it was the Transcendent's greatest secret, and her focus was that the demon soul turned out to be a fake.

"Not the Demon Soul of the Mountain Giants?

Wren said his guess, "It is very likely that it is a mutated alpine ogre, related to the mountain giants, and the two are very similar, so Herynny dares to use it to deceive, and is sure to deceive Levinster." ”

"It turned out to be an alpine ogre. ”

Viola was afraid for a while, if Levender failed to recognize the true and false demon souls, then he would lose more than 20,000 gold in blood today!

Violet House seems to be doing well, but the competition in this line is very fierce, and more than 20,000 gold is her profit for half a year.

Not to mention, it may even ruin the reputation of the trade fair, and it will be difficult to hold it again in the future.

In other words, Wren saved the Violet House tonight.

Not only did he avoid a big pit, but Wren also cooperated with him very tacitly, pushing the annoying Phyllis into this big pit, and when Phyllis found out that there was something wrong with the demon soul, she was probably so angry that she vomited blood.

Viola felt happy when she thought about it.

She stared at Wren and said softly, "I'm glad I had you today." ”

Looking at the pair of blue eyes that seemed to be able to speak, as well as the sincerity on her face, Wren was very useful, and waved his hand: "You yourself reacted quickly, sensed that something was wrong, and trusted me so much." ”

In other words, in such a large transaction, I am afraid it is difficult to believe the words of a first-level wizard who has just become a transcendent, and Wren has never shown the ability of a soul connoisseur before.

However, Viola did not hesitate to believe him at the time.

This also touched Wren a little, and it felt good to be believed.

Viola smiled, "Of course I believe you. ”

She suddenly got up and took out a trade contract from the drawer of her desk, and a flame ignited in her hand, which quickly burned the contract to ashes.

The ashes are windless and automatic, condense into a ball and fall into the trash.

Wren saw very clearly that this contract was signed by himself to buy the World Tree Seed, and burning the contract meant that he would write it off, and he would never have to pay back the more than 1,000 gold money.

"Thank you. Wren didn't say anything more and thanked him.

Viola disagreed, as if it was just a trivial matter, and smiled: "This is what you deserve, and it is far more than that, I still owe you a favor." ”

Wren wanted to tease what to use for favors, but saw Viola sit back with a pensive look on his face.

There was silence in the room.

In the eyes of the soul, Viola's emotions are mixed, but relatively calm, and it is clear that she is thinking about a lot of things that should have something to do with the night's scam.

Wren didn't bother her, quietly admiring the beauty in front of him.

There aren't many opportunities like that.

After a while, Viola inadvertently turned her head and saw Wren looking at her intently, and suddenly her ears were slightly red, her heart was ashamed, and at the same time, she was a little proud, and she snorted to remind her.

Wren retracted his gaze a little embarrassed, but luckily he was thick-skinned and pretended nothing had happened.

"You're thinking about your uncle?"

He shifted the subject, trying to defuse the awkward atmosphere.

Viola couldn't help but look slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "You can even see this?"

She couldn't remember mentioning her uncle Gallovena to Wren, who didn't even know he was a member of the Duke's family until tonight. If he hadn't known about it and paid special attention to Gallowerna's actions at the trade fair, it would have been difficult to find out that he was Helinny's accomplice.

This guy's observation is too sharp!

Wren laughed lightly on the surface, thinking that this forced pretend was very successful, and finally shocked Viola, hehe.

Viola shook her head and let out a sigh.

"Now that you've seen it, I have nothing to hide. Viola looked like she was not afraid of being ugly, and said with a wry smile: "That Helini should be a liar found by my uncle Gallowerna, and it is very likely that even the demon soul of the mountain giant is his thing." ”

Wren wasn't surprised.

This kind of struggle within a big family is not uncommon, and it has been performed countless times in many TV series, and the excitement is only a little worse than the drama of Gong Dou.

He just didn't understand Gallovena's motives for wanting to bring down the Violet House.

"What's in it for him?"

"The benefits are so many. ”

Viola explained, "The Violet House had been operating at a loss until I took over, and it was on the verge of going out of business. ”

"It took me a lot of effort and cost to get better and start making money. ”

"However, the Violet House does not belong to me completely, I only own thirty percent, and the rest belongs to the duke, and seventy percent of the profits earned every year must be handed over to the duke. If it doesn't run well, then I'll lose the store and hand it over to someone else in the family. ”

"I see. Wren probably understood, and asked, "Is Gallowera in love with Violet House?"

He noticed one thing, Viola's title to the Duke of Silver Star, like outsiders, is also called Duke, which shows that her relationship with the Duke of Silver Star is not so close.

Duke Silverstar seems to value wealth very much, less like the head of a family, more like the chairman of a large group.

Viola shook her head slightly: "He has a lot more to say about this store. ”

"The total value of this shop is actually not high, if it all changes hands, it can be sold for about 100,000 gold dong. ”

"Gallowera has more assets than I do, he has two textile mills, a coal mine, a newspaper, and a river transport company, as well as shares in the Lonsander Pier and dozens of shops, with a total value of more than 300,000 gold. ”

Wren was dumbfounded when he heard this, the people in the duke's family are too rich!

At every turn, it is hundreds of thousands of gold shields, which is equivalent to hundreds of millions of copper dollars, which can withstand several "small targets".

No wonder Gallovena is so popular at the trade fair, worth hundreds of thousands of gold dong, who doesn't want to stammer?

But his methods were not visible, and his appearance was too ugly, so he even attacked the niece of the family.

It seems that the greed of the capitalists is the same in every world!

Viola didn't know what Wren was thinking, and continued: "However, Gallowina, like me, has seventy percent of the assets in his name belonging to the duke, and must pay his profits regularly every year. ”

"Descendants like me and Gallovena, who take care of the Duke's assets, there are dozens of people in the family, and whoever earns more money will get more assets and have a close relationship with the Duke. ”

"The status within the family, unless it is a legendary transcendent, speaks with wealth contributions. ”

Speaking of this, Viola's eyes were full of helplessness, and her expression showed a little tiredness.

Wren suddenly felt some sympathy for her in his heart.

The style of this Duke of Silver Star is too strict, and he feels that he is not maintaining the family, but running the family as a company, and he feels cold and does not have much warmth when he listens to it.

The reason why the Duke of Silver Star did this, Wren could easily guess.

It's all about building a floating city!

The Floating City of the Empire is a well-known presence throughout Ehrenus, a symbol of the status of the Holy Soul Wizard, possessing terrifying powers unimaginable to ordinary people.

However, in people's minds, there is another thing that the floating city represents, and that is wealth!

Each floating city is stacked with astronomical golden shields, more enticing than the rumored dragon treasures.

Duke Silver Star has been a Holy Soul Wizard for hundreds of years, and his ability to gather resources and wealth is obviously not as good as that of Duke Redstone, who is one step later, and there is only one wizard tower so far.

You don't have to think about it to know that the Duke of Silver Star is extremely concerned about this, and he can only use his descendants as wage earners to squeeze, and the whole family is moving towards one goal.

Wren finally understood what Viola had said earlier.

Being born in a ducal house is not necessarily a benefit, and sometimes it can become a burden.

If Viola can't contribute to the family's wealth, sooner or later she will be eliminated, and with her amazing beauty, she will likely be used as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits.

And the Violet House is Viola's status guarantee within the family.

"Gallovener is secretly framing me, not only to take the opportunity to take this shop, but more importantly, he wants to seek the Earl of Winter Thunder. Viola said slowly.

Wren didn't understand, "What does this have to do with the Counts of Winterthunder?"

He knows that it is located in the north of Longshande City, which is part of the Dukedom of Silver Star, and is also the second largest territory in the dukedom after Longshande, with a population of nearly one million, and the city is built on the shore of Dongting Lake, not only connected with the longest river in the empire, the "Nachumer River", but also the four major rivers in the dukedom also flow into it, becoming one of the largest lakes in the empire, and it is an extremely important water passage.

Sail upstream from Lake Winterthunder to the west to the foot of the World Mountains, and downstream to the east, to the Modu, known as the World Trade Center, and finally into the Endless Sea.

The importance of this territory cannot be overstated.

Viola explained, "Three years ago, the previous Earl of Winter, my other uncle, passed away, and the title of Earl has been vacant until now, and many people in the family want this territory. ”

"The duke spoke at the beginning of this year, and at the end of the year, he made a fundamental contribution to elect a new earl, and whoever performs the best will get the territory of Winter Thunder. ”

"Gallowena and I, as well as several other family members, are all likely to get this county, especially my chance, this year, the profits of the Violet House have almost doubled, showing good management ability, so Gallowena will attack me. ”

Wren suddenly realized.

If Viola loses money at the trade fair tonight, then she will lose a lot of points in front of the Duke of Silverstar, and it will be impossible for her to fight for the title of Earl.

Gallovena, in turn, has gained a huge advantage over the competition.

Under the temptation of a real earl title and a large territory, it is really normal for Gallovena to resort to this method.
