Chapter Twenty-Four: The Girl Who Fears the World

The city of Cuenca, the Federal Federation of Commerce

Christie sat in her office flipping through the recent accounts, her eyes calm and routine. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

The door opened suddenly, and someone stepped in and gently placed a sealed white letter on top of all the accounts, then silently bent down and saluted, and without saying a word, withdrew again.

Christie raised her eyebrows, picked up the letter with interest, cut the fire paint on the seal, calmly pulled out the top piece of letterhead, looked at the opening sentence of the top grid, couldn't help sighing, then turned the envelope, cut the end of the envelope with a sharp silver knife, and then took out the last piece of letterhead, read the last greeting, and silently supported her forehead.

Christie didn't bother to read the contents of the envelope anymore, because it was the most inconsequential matter, and since the man had made the request, the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce could only complete the commission without discount.

So she reached out and gently shook the gold and silver bell beside her, and a white-haired and black-clothed butler quietly appeared beside her, waiting for orders.

Christie flipped her white wrist and pointed to the open envelope with her right hand outstretched, without saying a word.

The butler nodded, then picked up the letter from the void and silently scanned its contents.

He read it so quickly that he withdrew without even a snap of a finger on each page, but after a moment of finishing, the letter was cut into fine scraps by an invisible blade, and then ignited with flames until it was reduced to ashes.

The request, or instruction, sent by the man through a special channel, disappeared silently from this world, and only the old butler had seen it.

And Christie herself has not read the letter in the slightest, so she does not need to bear any responsibility for the content of the letter.

Christy raised his hand and asked the butler to leave.

All the things mentioned in Yi Lanshan's letter have nothing to do with her at all, no matter if the housekeeper implements it or ignores it, all the threads of cause and effect will not be connected to her.

From all accounts, Christie didn't want to have any causal involvement with the West City Mountain Lord.

It's just that the butler didn't leave with her gesture this time, but spoke unexpectedly.

"He mentioned the disciples."

Christie raised an eyebrow: "What do you have to do with me." ”

In this room, which was so quiet that it could be called dead silence, there was finally a few sounds.

"It's about you." The butler replied calmly.

Christie chuckled to herself, "What, the disciple knows about my relationship with him?" ”

"Never." The butler replied.

"What does that have to do with me!" Christie spoke coldly, her tone cold.

"The mountain lord mentioned in the letter that he wants you to go and see him." Butler Road.

Christie looked up, her faint violet eyes glowing with calm starlight; "I'm not going."

She said it categorically.

"The old man also hopes." The butler looked at his master, his eyes calm and unwavering: "You can go and see the disciples." ”

Christie was a little surprised, she didn't expect that the old man in front of her would have the same judgment as the mountain lord.

She finally fell silent, tilting her head and pointing to everything around her.

"As you can see, I can't do without this place."

It was an office of almost terrifying size, technically a small part of Christie's space, and behind her, a vast alchemy lab.

Countless precious alchemy materials were orderly placed on the metal shelves that reached the zenith, the slides stalled on the tracks in front of the shelves, the metal crucibles, the exuberant flames, and the multi-colored Y-pillars that were constantly undulating in the transparent crystal test tubes, all of which confirmed that the owner of the laboratory was conducting her research and testing.

This huge laboratory includes not only Christie's office, but also bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, study and living rooms, but compared to the size of the laboratory, these are like insignificant strawberries dotted on pastries, which are only decorative.

The butler knew that her young lady hadn't left her laboratory for years, that her food and clothing were all done here, and that she was like a witch living in her castle, watching her kingdom through her crystal ball and magic eye, and never touching them herself.

For her, her world is more about here, this uncharted territory of incomparably wonderful and magnificence.

The butler sighed: "Are you still afraid of this world?" ”

Christie's gaze suddenly turned grim, and she jumped out of her seat, barefoot to meet the butler's eyes.

She was tall enough to match the old but tall man.

"Say it again!"

Christie said coldly.

The butler smiled: "You are still afraid of ......"

"Smack!"

Christie interrupted the butler's next words with a loud slap.

Then she turned and walked out the door.

"I see."

……

Although Ye Qing has already made up his mind to run a large store in the West Market in the name of the Friends Society at the end of summer.

At the end of the summer, the homework of the friends was already extremely busy, and the party at the lakeside cabin was already the only activity to spare time, and since the sudden addition of Lobel, the time that had been slightly surplus was naturally even more stretched, and there was no time to run such a large shop.

In addition, all the goods in Ye Qing's hands are just some raw materials for demonic beasts, if according to Yi Lanshan's plan, these raw materials will be processed in his hands and then sold in a unified manner, but Ye Qing himself has the production capacity of these processing and production.

The product is born only by a momentary whim and whim, and in the end, it has to go through more difficulties and dangers to slowly break the chrysalis into a butterfly.

However, in view of this, Ye Qing only proposed the naming of this new store at the regular meeting of the Friends Society at the end of summer.

Since everything is difficult at the beginning, start with the simplest things.

Ye Qing's handling method is extremely concise and straightforward.

Speaking of naming, the Scarlet Heart Gym immediately had something to say, Qixia swore a guarantee, he said a word, tomorrow there will be a hundred and ten brothers with thousands of names to apply, no need for Her Royal Highness the princess to bother, whether you want to open a restaurant, or sell medicines, whether you want to start from the sale of raw materials as a resource supplier, or you want to take the high-end route in one step to sell finished armor, weapons, magic equipment or something, the name sent tomorrow will definitely satisfy you.

Ye Qing smiled: "What if I want to open the pavilion owner?" ”

Qixia covered his face, and then slowly spit out a name: "How is the Ge family's grocery store?" ”
