Chapter 103: Lunch, Space Pocket, Huck Burning Arrow
When I came out of the Doro Chamber of Commerce, it was already noon. Moriarty declined Eve's luncheon hospitality, excused by the fact that there was still work to be done. After getting into the carriage that had been waiting nearby, Moriarty smiled and said goodbye to the two members of the Dora Chamber of Commerce, and then walked away.
"Miss, does this Moriarty mage really deserve our such heart? Although he is indeed an excellent mage, and has great prospects. However, potential is only potential after all, and it is only illusory until it becomes real strength. And the space pockets and alchemy blueprints we gave away can be regarded as a heavy gift for a mid-level mage. Looking at the carriage that drove out of the way, Abbas, who was behind the girl, finally couldn't help but ask.
"Abbas, what do you think is the right thank-you gift?" Eve still had a fresh and lovely smile on her face, and her eyes always followed the back of the Moriati carriage, but she asked in a flat tone.
"Considering that the other party has the status of a first-level alchemist, I think that alchemy drawing is enough." Abbas didn't expect the girl to suddenly throw the question to herself, but after being in and out of the Chamber of Commerce all year round, the mid-level warrior was not ignorant of business, and after a little thought, he replied, "Although as far as we are concerned, we also got that drawing occasionally, and it didn't cost much. ”
"You can't be wrong when you say that." At this time, the carriage in the distance was finally out of sight, Eve slowly retracted her gaze, turned her head to look at the middle-level warrior, and said quietly: "For the Chamber of Commerce, alchemy drawings are actually not of much use, because we don't have the ability to make zuò magic props; And in the eyes of an alchemist, a novel drawing could not be more lovely. Therefore, if we only send the alchemy blueprints, it can indeed be regarded as our full compensation for the events of the day before yesterday, and the effect should not be bad. ”
"Then why..."
"Because it just didn't work badly, but it wasn't as good as I was hoping for." Without waiting for Abbas to finish speaking, Eve said suddenly, and at the same time turned around and walked slowly towards the chamber of commerce: "You must know that only by being 'excessive' grateful can you leave enough impression in the other party's heart and reap the 'friendship' I hope." As for whether it's worth it or not, heh, it will be clear later. ”
"Yes, miss." Hearing this, Abbas didn't say anything more, and followed the girl into the door of the Chamber of Commerce.
Sitting in the carriage, Moriarty silently stared at the pocket pocket in his hand, frowning slightly.
Receiving an unexpected thank you gift from Eve was actually more puzzled than happy in his heart. According to Moriarty, cheese falling from the sky can only happen in fairy tales. If you do encounter it in reality, then there is a strong cage waiting behind the cheese for a long time. However, Moriarty is not afraid of Eve's bad intentions. Although the contact with the girl in the Chamber of Commerce is only superficial and general, one thing is certain, the other party is a real businessman. And on the premise of not being able to make a profit, a real businessman will not do anything boring that harms others and himself.
It seems that the little girl really recognized her future potential and made a big bet in advance. What an adventurous businessman. Eventually, Moriarty secured the pocket of space while quietly sighing. As for the alchemy drawing, it has already entered the crystal book.
When we got back to Hockenheim's Wizard's Tower, it was past lunch. But because of the appointment, Haiyuna has prepared a delicious sandwich and hot cocoa mixed with condensed milk, waiting for her lover to enjoy it together.
"Let's scrub it first."
Like a traditional southern wife greeting her husband home, Hayruna gently offered Moriarty a hot handkerchief, then gently removed her robe and took it to the distance to dust off the zài that seemed to be absent, then smoothed out a few wrinkles on it and hung it carefully. …,
"Today's sandwich was delicious. Well, I even added tomato slices. It's not easy to see at this time. Sitting at the snow-white table, Moriarty gulped a triangular sandwich with relish, took a small sip of a large cup of hot cocoa, and smiled and admired Haiyana, who was sitting opposite her, looking intently at her.
"Hehe, the tomatoes were sent by the academy, and I heard that a caravan from the north had finally transported fresh goods. But it doesn't seem like a lot, and if it weren't for the fact that you and your father are both alchemists, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to taste it. Seeing that Moriarty was eating sweetly, Haiyna's eyes were full of joy and satisfaction, and it didn't matter whether she ate it or not.
"Eat too, or you'll be hungry." Moriarty nodded, picking up a sandwich and handing it to Haiyna.
Since becoming a registered mage and registered alchemist in Hockenheim a few months ago, Moriarty has truly experienced the many care and privileges that the Academy has given her. As far as the few seemingly insignificant tomatoes in front of him are concerned, let alone a low-level mage, even the middle-level masters in the academy may not be able to catch one and a half. In this world, those who can enjoy special foods such as out-of-season fruits and vegetables must be the real authorities, high-level or special elites. Of course, with a special magic array and a large number of magic crystals, it is not impossible for ordinary mid-level mages to cultivate abnormal fruits such as winter tomatoes on their own, but the problem is that it is impossible for any legally professional with a normal mind to spend precious time and wealth on things outside the body that are not of much use.
"Moti, how was the meeting with Doro today? Did you receive something good? Biting off the corner of the sandwich and munching on it, Hayyna asked casually.
"It's just a business-like exchange. To be honest, the management style of the Doro Chamber of Commerce is quite suitable for me, and the strengthening of the cooperation between the two parties will also be beneficial to the future development of Earth Studio. Moriarty wiped the corners of his mouth with a white napkin and said slowly, "As for the good things, I really got them this time." ”
After speaking, Moriarty took the pocket space pocket off his body and put it in front of Haiyana: "In addition to this, there is also an alchemy drawing, which is very suitable for the way of an alchemist." ”
"Ah, this is... Space pockets? Hayurna lifted her pocket and whispered softly, but then wrinkled her little nose again, and glanced at Moriarty with some meaning: "There seems to be some special fragrance on this thing..."
"Aroma?" Moriarty looked at Haiyna, and suddenly chuckled lightly: "Maybe, after all, it is a gift from the daughter of the Doro Chamber of Commerce, and it is normal to have some fat powder." ”
"So, is that Miss Eve beautiful?" Haiyuna seemed a little embarrassed by Moriarty's laughter, but she still blushed slightly and asked softly.
"Her appearance can indeed be described as beautiful, especially with a pair of blue eyes, which are quite charming." Moriarty thought for a moment and said, "But..."
"But what?" Hearing Moriarty's tone turn strangely, Hayyna asked with a little eagerness.
"But that beauty and charm doesn't come from the heart, it's more like a beautiful mask that has been carefully groomed." Moriarty continued with a faint smile.
"You mean, Miss Eve is in disguise... Beautiful? Hayyna didn't understand what the other party meant.
"It's not a disguise, it's just that Eve's beauty and gentleness in front of people are just the appearance of a successful businessman. It's like a beautiful and eye-catching signboard, no matter how beautiful it is, its original intention is just to attract more customers. Moriarty's assessment sounded rather mean, but his tone was calm as usual. …,
"However, most people can't help but be attracted to the sign as long as they see it good-looking." At this time, Haiyuna said quietly, and at the same time, her rosy lips were slightly pursed, reminiscent of the fresh red apples on the branches.
"Haha, you." For Hai Yana's little coquettishness, Moriarty could only laugh with pet.
When lunch is over, the pink and white pocket is the perfect bag for her little stuff. In this regard, it can be said that everyone is happy.
After a brief lunch, Moriarty said goodbye to his fiancée and returned to supervise the construction of Olympus Gardens. Although with the credibility and qualifications of the Rhodo Chamber of Commerce, it will never do such unbearable tricks as cutting corners, shoddy, and stealing beams for pillars. However, due to the fact that the whole project is now in the critical stage, many special projects and installations need to be arranged and debugged by Moriarty himself on site, rather than by manpower.
Sitting in the carriage again, Moriarty closed his eyes slightly. The coachman, who had become familiar with the habits of his employer, did not wait for any more orders, but whispered to the horses and marched forward.
From Hockenheim to the Olympian Gardens, the normal drive takes about half an hour. However, sitting in the car, Moriarty, who was silent with his eyes closed, was not really taking a nap, but was going through the crystal book in Guò's soul, carefully examining the newly obtained alchemical blueprint.
