Section 026, Grande's business
The goblin guard pointed to the tallest building in the center of town and said to Dante, "Mr. Grande's office is on the highest floor of that building, you can visit him." ”
Dante looked in the direction of the guard's finger and saw that the building was almost 10 stories high, with a large sign erected on the roof of the building, which read "Grande Ventures Limited", and a line of small letters underneath that read, "Escort your journey to wealth."
"Tut-tut......" said Dante, seeing the commercial sign, "Monsieur Grandet is doing a great business." ”
When the goblin guards heard this, they nodded and said, "Yes." Settle for yourself now, I'm going back to stand guard. With that, he returned to the guard box at the entrance of the hospital and continued to stand guard.
Dante remembered the satchel that Joseph was carrying, so he returned to the hospital and said to the female human nurse at the front desk, "Nurse, my friend has a satchel, please help me take it out." He and I are both business partners of Mr. Grande, and now I will pay a visit to Mr. Grandet. ”
"Oh, okay, wait a minute." The female nurse hurried to the emergency room, took out Joseph's satchel, and handed it to Dante.
Dante took the satchel, opened it and flipped through it, and saw that in addition to various gadgets, there was also a very thick notebook, which was slightly flipped through, and it was full of various text and picture records that he couldn't understand. This book should be a precious mineral information.。
Dante put away his satchel and smiled and said to the nurse, "Thank you." How is my friend now? ”
The female nurse took one look at the emergency room and said, "Uh...... Your friend has suffered some internal injuries, but the doctor just said that he is lucky and will not be in danger of his life. He will probably need to be hospitalized for a few days to recover. ”
"Well......" Dante nodded, "I'm sorry for you." He was a business associate of Mr. Grande, who would arrange for the medical bills to be paid. I will now visit Monsieur Grande, and you may also ask him. ”
"Okay!" When the female nurse heard this, she was relieved and said with a smile, "Thank you for your support." Please walk slowly. ”
So, Dante walked out of the hospital with his satchel and rode the black wind towards the office building in Grande. Walking to the front of the building, he was stopped by the goblin guard standing guard at the door, and he hurriedly handed the check to the guards to check. The guard looked at the check, nodded, and said to him, "Sir, I can arrange for your horse to be in the stable next to you, and I need to keep your weapon in the stable for you." What do you think? ”
"Well......" said Dante, "I'm tired of you." The guards put away Dante's iron sword and led the black wind to the stables at the edge of the building. Dante walked into the lobby on the first floor of the building and walked towards the front desk. As in the hospital, there is a human female secretary and a goblin female secretary sitting at the front desk.
When the human female secretary saw a human man coming in, she stood up with a smile and asked, "Sir, who are you looking for?" ”
Dante didn't bother to say anything, and just handed her the check. The secretary looked at the check and said, "Oh, okay." Mr. Grandet had greeted us before and said that a business partner would come to meet him. Excuse me, are you Mr. Dante? ”
"Yes!" Dante then picked up his satchel, shook it at the secretary, and said, "I have agreed with Monsieur Grandet to retrieve something for him." Please tell me that although the person was injured a little, he returned safely and brought back the information. Please don't say too much, just pass on these words. ”
"Oh, okay!" The female secretary nodded, turned around and walked over to a machine behind the front desk. Dante saw that the machine appeared to be a microphone with several microphones and earpieces on it, which was supposed to be used for communication.
The female secretary whispered a few words with the microphone and earpiece, returned to the front desk, and said to Dante with a smile: "Monsieur Grandet is ready to see you in his office on the 10th floor." Please take the elevator over there. ”
With that, she pointed to a door on the right side of the hall, and Dante saw that it was a lift entrance, similar to the one in the Demon King's castle.
So, Dante walked into the elevator and headed to the 10th floor.
The elevator quickly reached the 10th floor, and Dante stepped out of the elevator to find a large gate on the 10th floor, facing the exit of the elevator. It seems that the entire 10th floor is Grande's office, which is really magnificent. The two goblin guards standing guard at the gate saw Dante coming out of the elevator and slowly pushed the gate open.
Dante saw Grandet sitting behind a plush desk, beckoning to him.
"Mr. Dante! Hahahaha! When Grandet saw Dante, he laughed and said, "Great, you've made it!" I really didn't see the wrong person! ”
Dante strode into the office, found a chair and sat at his desk, handed the satchel to Grandet, and said, "Although I encountered some minor setbacks, I solved them all." ”
"Good! Readily! Grandet hurriedly opened his bag, took out the thick notebook, and began to flip through it. The more he looked, the more excited his face grew, as if he had seen a large number of glittering gold coins piled up in front of him.
Soon, Grandet finished reading the contents of the book, closed the book, patted the table, stood up, laughed and stretched out his hand to Dante, as if to shake hands, and said, "Monsieur Dante, it is a pleasure to meet you." I, Grande Venture Capital Co., Ltd., hope to work together with you in the future to seek common cause! ”
Since the big tyrant took the initiative to reach out to shake hands, of course Dante couldn't refuse, and hurriedly stood up to shake hands with him, saying: "This, if we can develop together, of course it is a good thing." Cheque ......" he pulled out the cheque and handed it to Grandet.
"Well said!" Grandet took the check, took the pen and waved it, signed the reward amount of 3,000 gold coins, and then picked up the microphone and said, "Xiaoli, come here." ”
Immediately afterwards, a female goblin secretary came out of a small office next to her and asked Grande, "Boss, do you have any instructions?" ”
Grandet handed the cheque to the female secretary and said to her, "Go and help this Monsieur Dante open a bank account and deposit his remuneration." Later, I worked with Mr. Dante's business, and I used this account to pay for it. ”
"Yes, boss!" The female secretary took the check, looked at it, nodded, and was about to go out.
"Wait a minute......" Grandet seemed to think of something, hurriedly called out to her, then looked at the alarm clock on the desk, and found that it was almost 6 o'clock, so he asked Dante, "Monsieur Dante, today you have completed a big business for me, and now it is getting late, I want to set up a banquet for you, I wonder if you are willing?" ”
Wow! There's something good to eat! When Dante heard this, he suddenly felt refreshed, nodded and said, "Okay! I still have a lot to say to you. He then thought that he would use the magic raven to inform Gad that he would just spend the night in Gear Town tonight. So, he said, "It's too late today, I'm going to spend the night in Cog. ”
When Grandet heard him, he said to the female secretary, "Go and arrange a hotel room for Monsieur Dante, of the highest class." ”
"Okay, boss!" The female secretary nodded, bowed slightly, and walked towards the outside of the office. Dante sent her into the elevator, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed, thinking to himself, I can have a good time tonight!
Grandet watched the female secretary go downstairs, sat back in her chair, and said to Dante, "Monsieur Dante, please be seated." We still had a little time before eating. So Dante sat down.
Grandet took out a cigar, lit it, took a hard breath, spat out a series of rings, and said, "Monsieur Dante, today is really the happiest day I have had in a while. Tell me, what did you come across in that cave? ”
Dante thought about it, and then told a series of experiences in which he was attacked by a petrified snake after entering the cave, then killed the petrified snake, rescued Joseph, and escaped with Joseph, of course, he did not say anything about his transformation into a great demon king.
Grandet listened carefully to what he had to say, squinted his eyes, took a puff on his cigar, and seemed not to believe it, and said, "Petrified snake? Mr. Dante, you're not kidding, are you? ”
When Dante heard this, he knew that he should not believe that he could take on the petrified snake alone, because he should still think that he was just an ordinary human ranger, but slightly better at swordsmanship. Thinking of this, Dante smiled and said, "What, don't you believe that I can kill the petrified snake?" Then you have to believe Joseph in the hospital. ”
"Oh, no, no......" said Grandet, waving his hand quickly, "I only believe in the facts." Since you have brought Joseph back safely, I believe you. It's just ......"
With that, he stood up and walked to one of the walls of his office, and Dante saw that there was a large map hanging on the wall, a panoramic map of the Star Ocean, which was densely marked with all kinds of information, and it was dazzling to see.
Grandet picked up a pole placed on the side of the map, pointed to the location of Cogwheel Town, and then to the location of the Fairy Mine, and said, "Monsieur Dante, I have never doubted that there are mountains beyond the mountains in this world. However, there are some things that have happened recently that I find very interesting. ”
"Oh?" When Dante heard this, he felt sure that there was something in his words, and he said, "What do you say about this?" ”
Grande suddenly pointed with a pole at the center of the Fairy Forest, which was very close to the Demon King's Castle. He took a puff on his cigar and said, "As a successful businessman, I have to be informed all the time. This side of the Fairy Mountains has always been shrouded in some kind of mysterious fog, which does not disperse all year round, which makes me very worried. Because, I heard that in the center of the fairy forest, there is a demon's lair. ”
When Dante heard this, he chuckled in his heart and thought, no, this guy also noticed it? But the same should be changed, and the goblin in front of him, who regards wealth as his life, may not pay attention to any justice and evil. See what he has to say.
