"Is Your Excellency also an Awakened One?" Pelelot asked, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Simon Riley nodded unabashedly, and said, "As you said, the Awakened Ones below, the attributes of the Awakened......" He did not answer Pelelot directly, but took out the pipe he had put away before from his trouser pocket, stretched out a finger in his left hand, and suddenly two crimson sparks the size of rice grains jumped on his fingertips, and when the sparks collided, sparks instantly sparked, forming a burning flame.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's convenient to use to light a cigarette, how to say I'm an old smoking gun." While lighting the pipe with the flame of the fingers of his left hand, he continued: "I like this ability of mine, because if I don't have it, it will be very distressing for me, I always run all over the world, but Mr. Merchant should know that if you take a guided airship, you are not allowed to carry an ignition device, and it is really quite troublesome for people who are addicted to smoking." ”

"Then Your Excellency may need my contact-type cigarette lighter." Pellet's habits as a merchant make him think of selling to him when he hears the needs of others, although the Chamber of Commerce has a rule that merchants are not allowed to sell their goods in the city so as not to affect the shops in the city, but this is not a city after all, so it doesn't matter. Of course, there are clever businessmen who take advantage of the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, negotiate prices with samples in the city, and then go to the suburbs outside the city to trade. Businessmen are very good at finding such loopholes. Of course, it depends on whether that deal is worth it.

"......" introduced the advantages of Datong, a cigarette lighting artifact, and the most important thing is that you can take a guided airship. This sentence.

Pellelot said with a smile: "For the sake of me and Your Excellency, I will sell this cigarette lighting artifact to Your Excellency at the purchase price, only 500 Star Glory Coins." ”

I have to admire the eloquence of a businessman and not let go of any business opportunities.

But unfortunately, the other party is a big detective with a smart mind, quick thinking, observation ability and logical ability.

"Mr. Merchant took out the market price of about 2,500 Star Shine Coins, which was produced from the Vanchy cigarette lighter three years ago, and is no longer produced now, it can be called an out-of-print collector's item, and the price of 500 Star Shine Coins, Mr. Merchant did not cheat me. If it is well preserved, its value will definitely be higher than the original market price in a few years, after all, Fanxi has become a collectible brand, and it uses ignition graphene stone that has now doubled in value several times, but I believe that Mr. Merchant bought it at a lower price than 500 Star Coins, right? No matter how you look at it, it looks like a second-hand product. And if I'm not mistaken, the graphite has been replaced with ordinary graphite, and although the ignition function is the same, the lifespan is very different. ”

"I really can't hide from you as a big detective." Pelelot sighed.

This cigarette lighter was indeed bought by him from the second-hand market, and he spent 450 Star Glory Coins at that time, thinking that it would be convenient to use it for life in the wild. Although the appearance is intact, because the material is excellent, it looks like new, but the only flaw is that there is a deep scratch on the cigarette lighter, I don't know which fool used the cigarette lighter as a flint, and was cut off a piece by the knife, as a businessman, of course, it is to present the best side of the goods, so Pelelot also turned the side that was cut off by the knife to himself, looking at the tragic scar, it was really miserable. Of course, Pelelot didn't say anything, he exchanged the ink stone for 400 Jewels for an ordinary Stone, so if you really want to calculate it, the cost of the igniter in his hand is only 50 Jewel Coins.

Simon Riley didn't care about these things, he pinched the cigarette stick with his slender pale fingers, slowly put it to his mouth, took a deep breath, but it was stuffy for a long time before he spit it out gently, with a look of enjoyment, "In the smoke, the past is going on, the brain is getting clearer and clearer, but the heart is getting more and more lonely, I don't know if Mr. Merchant is willing to enjoy this loneliness with Zaixia." ”

Pelelot understood the meaning of Simon Riley's words, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Actually, I really want to run away with your Nolando ancient gold like this, for me, this money can only be accumulated by running a business for a few years." Obviously, as long as you leave, you can easily get ...... Maybe you think that I like money very much, where are businessmen who don't love money, that has become the nature of all businessmen, in fact, I hate money, but I need money very much, more than anyone else, because it is related to the freedom of my family. And the freedom that was bought, I hope it will be clean and visible, otherwise it will be a shame for my family that cannot be washed away and will accompany them for the rest of their lives, so that they will not be able to get real freedom. So...... I promise you a deal. ”

Simon Riley looked at Pelelot with respect in his eyes, "It is worthy of being a royal descendant of the Grand Duchy of Brittany, and he has this backbone." ”

"You know ......" Pellelot's eyes widened in disbelief.

Simon Riley didn't know about it, but after hearing the other party say that he would buy a freedom, he tried it like this, but he didn't expect the other party to admit it.

The Grand Duchy of Brittania was part of the Kingdom of Landaio, but they never recognized it as part of the Kingdom of Landaio.

The reason was that the Kingdom of Landaio wanted to annex the Grand Duchy of Brittania by force, and in the case of a huge disparity in strength, the Grand Duchy of Brittany swore to the death and rebelled, and there was a war with the Kingdom of Landaio.

The outcome of the battle was destined from the very beginning to be a battle of eggs hitting stones.

They became a defeated nation, and the territory of the Grand Duchy of Brittania was also taken by the Kingdom of Landaio, officially becoming part of the Kingdom of Landaio.

It happened more than 200 years ago, but it is rumored that the royals of the Grand Duchy of Brittany, the sinners who started the war, are responsible for the fact that they were the ones who took up arms and started the war.

The truth of the facts is always written by the victorious side, even if the truth of the facts is not what people know.

Right and wrong, reversing black and white...... After more than 200 years, even if it were not like this, people living in this era would think that this is the case.

All that is known is that the Grand Duchy of Brittany, which was part of the Kingdom of Landaio, rebelled, and then they failed......

Therefore, the main culprits of this war do not deserve to be free, and they must atone for their sins, and the most direct way is to make them pay their huge debts. It is too much that even the losses in the Grand Duchy of Brittania are counted on the heads of their royal family, and King Landaio** also takes all the wealth accumulated in the Grand Duchy of Brittany. The king** was sent to garrison there, and all those who resisted were executed, and all the ministers of the royal family and the principality were imprisoned......

They allowed only one member of the royal family to set foot in the outside world, but they had to pay for the losses caused by the war.

This is a sky-high expense, which a normal person cannot earn in dozens of lifetimes.

With the gradual death of the original members of the royal family of the Grand Duchy of Brittana, there are now only a few dozen people left.

Spread it evenly, counting the accumulation of more than two hundred years, it will take 130 million to buy the freedom of one person.

Yes, you can only buy one, and if you want to buy the second one, then I am afraid that you will not be able to do it if all the royal bloodlines of the Grand Duchy of Brittania are dead.

Because, according to the current number of people, the price of buying a share of freedom for one person will need 10 billion! As the number of people decreases, so does the price of freedom for one person, perhaps in the future, 100 billion, or more......

Pellelot's father and grandfather are both awakened, even the weakest of the awakened D-class awakened should have a lifespan of about two hundred years, but they have a shorter life than normal people, only sixty or seventy years old to die.

At one time, Pelelot couldn't understand and thought that they died in an accident, but when he took over the false freedom from his father, he realized how heavy the burden was, and he also deeply realized how much pressure his father and grandfather were under, and how hard life was, which was simply the most torturous thing. This freedom is not free at all for them, but the greatest punishment.

Trust your father and grandfather...... Like himself, he can only take a nap for half an hour to an hour every day, and he lives like this every day, and he doesn't even have time to sleep, just thinking about making money to buy a freedom for his family, even the body of the awakened can't bear it.

So Pelelot thought to himself that he wouldn't live long either. Just hope that before he has his life, he can buy his son's freedom...... As for the others, Pellelot also knew that it was impossible. That's more than 10 billion, where to make ......

Pelelot agreed to Simon Riley's request, and that was because the rich and wayward detective said that if the case was solved, the merchant would be paid two more Nolando gold.

That adds up to 30 million Shine Coins...... In this way, he is only one hundred million away from his goal.

The greater the risk, the greater the corresponding benefit, but Pelelot is not a person who will take risks easily, if he dies, the next person to bear this heavy fate may be his dearest person, most likely his child who has not seen for ten years.

Those goddamn Landaio Kingdom guys will wait for him to come of age and then let him carry the ...... It's only been six years.

Xingyao is considered an adult at the age of sixteen, and he can register for marriage at the age of eighteen.

Pelelot doesn't want his children to endure this like himself.

When he bought his child's freedom, he sent him to an ordinary family for adoption and lived an ordinary life...... Then Pelelot will do whatever it takes to do the most risky thing in his life, because only then will it be possible to buy his wife's freedom in his lifetime.

His wife's name is Charoli, and her grandfather was the former chief of the guard of the Grand Duchy of Brittany, who should have been pardoned, after all, not a member of the royal family, but she gave up her freedom, preferring to stick to the last loyalty with her father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother, because the premise of freedom is betrayal...... She used to live in the same cage as Pellelot, two years older than Pellelot. Charoly's grandfather is an Awakened One, but she is not, but an ordinary person, and the offspring of the Awakened are not necessarily the Awakened, and it is very common that they may not be able to awaken for the rest of their lives......

Pellelot loved her so much that he even thought about buying their son's freedom and going back to see her, not living together, but dying together...... And Pellelot also knows what his loved ones really want.

It was to leave a piece of blood for the royal family of the Grand Duchy of Brittany, even if he was just an ordinary person from now on, it was better than being stripped of his freedom and locked in a cage where he could not get out. This has become a common desire for all of them. For this reason, they even advised Pelelot to find a place to hide after he went out, and leave them alone......

But how did they know that this freedom was not something that could be obtained by giving them up and not going back.

In Pelelot's body, there is a high-tech chip similar to a Gu worm, which can be used for location tracking, no matter where he hides, it is useless, he will be detected, and the most terrifying thing about this chip is that he can torture people to death.

It is unknown where the chip was implanted in Pellelot's body or in which organ, but whenever the pain starts, Pellelot feels like his head is going to explode.

It is estimated that the place where the chip was implanted was his brain.

"Mr. Merchant, in fact, don't write such sadness on your face, so that others can see at a glance that you are not normal as a businessman, and there is no endless road, maybe at some point, you meet someone, and that person is the person who can save you." Simon Riley said with a calm face.

"Your Excellency is trying to say, you are such a person? But 30 million Star Coins is not enough. "I don't complain about anything, in fact, these three Nolando ancient gold are already a lot, after all, this is something worth 30 million Jewel Coins, if you let Pelelot make this money, I'm afraid it will take several years, you must know that he has been getting this hypocritical freedom for more than nine years, and he has only earned a total of more than 50 million Jewel Coins, but this is also because he was still a novice on the road of business at the beginning, not to mention that he made all of them, and there were times when he lost money. If only he could make every business profitable now.

"I'm not such a person, and there's only a limit to what I can do to help Mr. Merchant." Simon Riley sighed, according to his understanding, the price of a free is 10 billion, if you want to buy his family members together, it will take more than 300 billion, if you remove three zeros, it is okay to say, no matter how much, even he, a rich man, can't help.
