Chapter 253: Decision (Subscription Requested)
Newland!
In the knowledge of all the inhabitants of the Old World, it is a term full of hope and temptation, a land of sudden wealth and hope flowing with milk and honey and gold everywhere.
If it weren't for the danger and cost of ocean voyages, they would have recklessly migrated there.
Every year, unsurvivable civilians, exiled criminals, and self-organized companies and adventurers embark on flights to the New World.
Some of them disappeared, some of them went into obscurity, and some of them really turned over and became famously rich, and the stories spread far and wide, attracting generations of young people to go on adventures.
Even Fang Xian had to admit that the new continent was indeed a bit too vast.
After hundreds of years of development by the union of the countries of the Old World, it seems that it is still full of adventures.
Similarly, immediately after the first financial product was designed in the Silver Eagle Federation, the power of capital began to swell.
Among them, the investment in the New World is the hottest part.
Influenced by this, the folk are also like wild dogs, and a large number of 'adventurers' have emerged.
They traveled from wealthy families to downtown squares and even towns to proclaim their dreams to those who aspired to get rich overnight but did not dare to venture out to sea, and raised funds for this purpose, guaranteeing the proceeds of the New World in the future.
Such a cheating product is more unreliable than that issued by the bank, but if it can't stand it, someone will be fooled.
As far as Daniel knows, there are many people who have lost their fortunes because of this, after all, ninety percent of the so-called 'risky investments' are scammers.
They did not ship ships to go on expeditions to the New World at all, but used false plans, forged documents, cheated a lot of money, and squandered it wantonly.
The rest of the 10% are adventurers who really have dreams but are shy in their pockets, but most of them die in the ocean voyage.
After all, in addition to the harsh climate, all kinds of magical creatures that are hostile to humans are also characteristic of the New World and the deep sea.
Even if you are lucky and successfully reach the New World, you may not be able to successfully explore it, and it is normal for you to lose all your investment.
This kind of investment plan full of huge holes, nine out of nine will be lost, and only a very small number of lucky people who are favored by Lady Luck will succeed and get rich returns.
The Roland family was quite solid before, otherwise there would be no way to send Daniel to study abroad.
It was only three years ago that the contemporary owner of the family listened to the deception of an adventurer, and not only invested heavily in the other party, but even mortgaged the real estate to the bank, and borrowed a large amount of money from relatives and friends.
Daniel suspected that the imposter Ferdinand River Columbus was not a true adventurer, but a fraudster with extraordinary powers!
Otherwise, how could the Roland family be fooled like a lost soul, so generously invested.
Ferdinand River Columbus!
The adventurer was said to have a certain alien ancestry, so he added the word 'river' to the middle of his name according to the custom of that alien race.
No one knows how he persuaded the patriarch of the Roland family at the beginning, but after the other party scraped together the funds, he bought an ocean-going ship, recruited sailors, and began his adventure to the New World.
A year later, news came that his fleet had caught a storm and that his ship had sunk with his own eyes.
The investment failed, the bank collected the debt, and the Roland family almost went bankrupt.
Daniel, who originally had a good life, lost his support and was forced to move to a slum to live.
Now it looks ...... That Ferdinand River Columbus is still alive? Not only is he alive, but he is really rich? Hundreds of thousands of gold fishers, is this a gold mine? ’
Fang Xian's heart moved: "According to the equity certificate...... All his gains in the New World, the Roland family can occupy at least forty percent ......"
This certificate has been notarized by the Tower of the Wise Sage, and it is unknown how many curses and contracts with mystical powers are attached to it.
As long as the person still wants to live, or the soul is not tormented after death, he will not be disobeyed.
'The Roland family is going to make a fortune...... It is a pity that this level of wealth far exceeds the size of the Baron's family......
'I even suspect that if it weren't for my aristocratic status, someone would have kidnapped me......
After realizing this, Fang Xian immediately didn't want to stay in Ferenster anymore.
If you don't go back, maybe the Roland family will be gone.
Although it is not his family, he can't repay it, and he will still leave a little regret.
Thinking of this, he slowly stepped back, and his figure melted into the darkness.
Carl Hepburn stood still, waited for a while, confirmed that the terrible wizard had left, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "He didn't kill me...... It's certainly not because I'm strong, it's because of my background...... And you're not afraid of me calling ......."
He looked out into the streets, and if he ran a few more steps, he might be able to run into a few patrolmen who would contact the kingdom's special agencies to deal with otherworldly affairs.
It's just that if you do that, things will be completely big.
Moreover, the wizard still has the voodoo doll that cursed him in his hands, and may curse him to death remotely.
"By the way, that curse is the most deadly."
Carl Hepburn ran to the Occult Academy in a panic, he was going to find his mentor, to find his backstage, to ask for help, to lift this damn curse!
……
Dock.
Inside a cheap apartment.
Fang Xian casually ignited the debt contract, causing it to turn to ashes along with the voodoo doll, which had lost all its effects.
After pouring all the ashes into the toilet bowl and destroying the body, he pulled out a huge suitcase from under the bed and opened the closet.
"There's nothing to take...... Daniel's face used to be cleaner, and my biggest possession now is the 100 gold Fisher I just received......"
"Well, tomorrow morning I will go to the steam train station and buy a ticket home......"
After cramming in a few pieces of clothes and daily necessities, Fang Xian made a decision.
As for the graduation certificate or something, he doesn't want it!
What Fang Xian did before was just playing 'Daniel Roland', telling the outside world that he valued that graduation certificate very much, and he would never leave until he got it.
In fact, he didn't care about the piece of paper in the slightest, and he could run away with a smoke bomb.
If you want to break the game, you have to be surprised.
'What would he do if Daniel had been here?' ’
'Probably, after struggling with it, you'll make the same choice as me, right?' It's just that he doesn't have the strength...... When I went back, I just went to deliver a dish......
Fang Xian picked up a photo frame and stared at the black-and-white photo inside.
This is a family portrait of a couple sitting in the center, the man wearing a tuxedo and a round top hat, and the woman wearing a lace skirt.
Around them, four children were clustered.
Daniel was the shortest, standing at the front, wearing suspenders and a plaid shirt, looking a little dissatisfied.
