Chapter 298: Still Water Makes Waves
Hopefully, Luciella's idea of making stockings would be a whim for Li Fang, just an idea that might be interesting.
He didn't expect Luciella to make it so quickly, and the finished product was much better than he expected.
So the former South Abyss, who changed his career to the clothing business, got a promise to invest a sum of money from the invisible rich Li Fang, of course, Li Fang did not promise the amount, and he took Jonny and Luciella to discuss the specific matters with Conrad in the noble district of the city.
With the help of the nobleman, Luciella's required business contract was quickly drawn up and put into effect.
Li Fang, who was personally involved in this kind of thing for the first time, was interested, and casually asked Conrad if he could find a large coal mine, and described the general appearance.
Conrad pondered for a while before he said uncertainly, there were coal mines far south from Rapole, but the reserves and exploitation were problematic, and only nearby residents used them as a substitute for charcoal.
Li Fang couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, similar to what he had seen over the years, cutting down trees for wages in people's lives was the mainstream, and ordinary people didn't even know that there was such a thing as a coal mine.
Except for the relatively warm and humid climate in the south and west, the land is relatively barren in every sense.
After saying goodbye to Luciella with a satisfied smile and a slightly senile Conrad, it was still early in the streets.
Li Fang then took Joni to visit several new novelty shops in the city, and then went to Cyril's house to ask Gegu out for a drink.
Gegu was so happy, changed into ordinary clothes, and walked with Li Fang Joni to the nearest tavern.
During the casual conversation, Gegu heard Gegu say that the idea of the church to choose Candace as a saint came from materials brought in from the organization, and some of the books in them were related to religion on another continent.
Gegu then joked a little drunkenly, hearing that the contents of it were shocking to the church.
And Priest Vincent was actually a Reformer in the church......
There are many reasons why Candace was selected, she is young, pious, good-looking, and has no stains on her popularity, but of course the decisive factor is her extraordinary ability to influence people.
Li Fang and Joni couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this, now that the true situation of the demons, awakened people, and great swords was gradually known to ordinary people, it was essentially just a church composed of ordinary people who believed in the twin goddesses, and they naturally longed for extraordinary power.
Or rather, a simple desire to belong to the power of the church.
For example, after understanding what the big sword is, he spares no effort to win it over.
Dusk came faster than Li Fang expected.
Seeing Gegu's tired appearance of being put on a luxurious coat by the servants who came in a hurry, helped into the carriage, and pinched his eyebrows to say goodbye, Li Fang felt that this friend who was the son-in-law of Cyril's family might not be as relaxed as he imagined.
After all, if you don't care about anything, you won't know about it, and you don't have to tell him.
Li Fang watched Gegu's carriage go away, and he felt more and more that the church was going to do something related to him.
……
It was not early, and Li Fang sent Joni to the carriage out of the city, without the intention of letting his sister stay overnight. As greatswords, they are actually a little restricted, but judging by the friendliness of the current residents of Rapoll, this is a rule that keeps them from being disturbed.
On the way home, he grabbed some clean vegetables and meat before the vendors closed their stalls, and Li Fang remembered that there was still an Ophelia in the corner hut that needed to eat, so he bought more.
Back at home, Li Fang shouted a few times, but found that Ophelia was not there.
She left a note on the door of her room, saying that she was going to spend the night in the Great Sword Village for a few days.
Well...... Eighty percent went to find Flora. Li Fang entered the kitchen by himself with a slight smile.
On the other side, the village of Greatsword, the second floor of the Flora's squad's house.
Flora, dressed in a very traditional and conservative nightgown, looked helpless, and by the light of a single candle, she said coldly to the person sitting on the carpet under the bed in her bedroom, "Haven't you heard? Anna is leaving Rapolle today, and you can go back and sleep well. ”
"Huh? I! I really didn't hear from them. Ophelia hugged her change of clothes, her eyes stunned.
“…… Never mind. Flora looked at the other man who had changed into a pair of shorts and pajamas, and then looked out the window at the sky that had completely darkened, and now that Rapoll had closed the gates. She took a deep breath and said, "Speaking of which, how much money are you missing?" ”
"What money?" Ophelia took out her bed quilt and pillows from the luggage she had brought.
"You can't stay in a hotel all the time with the money you pay to buy a house in Rapolle."
Ophelia understood what she meant, turned around in surprise and said in disbelief: "When did you become so rich?" ”
Should you be surprised by this?
Flora's heart froze, and for a moment she felt that a piece of kindness should be thrown down the drain.
"Anyway, even if there is a gap, I can borrow some from Miria or Galadia."
"No," Ophelia decisively refused, "You can still have Li Fang and money, if you really want to move out, you should have borrowed it from him." ”
She sat on the bunk, reached out to the half-hidden moon outside the window, and whispered: "If I really lived by myself, I would feel that I would completely become an ordinary resident of the city of La Pole." ”
Flora looked at each other deeply, her eyes reflecting the crazy look of centipede braids, her loose hair falling on her emaciated shoulders, and the tips of her hair were slightly stirred by the evening breeze through the window, revealing a sense of tranquility and weakness.
It's just like when I first met her, but there is a lot less bitterness and hatred.
The words in her mouth turned, and the exit changed: "You just sleep like this tonight?" ”
After finishing speaking, he pointed to the quilt sitting under the other party's buttocks.
Ophelia smiled and said bluntly, "I'd love to share a bed with you, but I'm worried that you don't mind, and I don't know if you're used to sleeping on your back." ”
As she spoke, Ophelia's gaze never took off Flora.
You're really worried about where I mind.
Flora sighed inwardly, and the silence in the air stretched for a few breaths.
"Come up, it's getting cold at night." Flora turned her head and said, finally not hardened.
She kept telling herself that Ophelia was just a fragile normal person now.
But her eyes noticed Ophelia's face showing pure surprise, and she said as if admonishing and recalling, "Just rest together as we did when we first met." ”
……
I didn't have a dream all night, and when I woke up, the sky was still a little clear.
Li Fang didn't plan to wait any longer, he wanted to find out what the church was going to do as soon as possible, and it would be a good choice to ask Candace directly.
Would you like to see her briefly, Candace Virgin? Li Fang hooked the corners of his mouth, recalling the words and pictures about the saint in his memory...... Then he couldn't help but stroke his forehead and sighed, and quickly poured the messy thoughts out of his head.
As soon as breakfast was settled, Li Fang heard a knock on the door.
Ophelia is back so early? With a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Fang opened the door.
