When Qiao Xiu walked out of the theater, it was close to dusk.

Before leaving, Marlena gave Joe Xiu a hand-drawn map, and with this map, Jo Xiu spent more than half an hour along Nolan's commercial street to find Marlena's temporary residence.

Coincidentally, Marina's residence was only two blocks away from the Nolan National Theater, and from where Joshua could see the glow of Nolan's titular No. 1 Theater.

Tonight there is a performance of the Black Swan Theater at the Nolan National Theater, just like the name of the troupe, and today the Nolan National Theater will be the most eye-catching black swan on the lake of Nolan.

"Herlan... The ticket is already in my hands......"

Sansa holds two premium tickets to Black Swan Theatre's latest production, World of Laughter.

The two tickets were extorted from Sansa by a male classmate named Ricard, with the phrase 'I'll definitely pull Herlan over.' This promise was blackmailed.

Now that the time is approaching the start of the show, the original premium tickets worth only more than 500 gold coins may have soared to thousands of gold coins.

It stands to reason that Sansa should have felt excited to meet the legendary 'Flower of Fallosi', but after watching Beauty and the Devil, Sansa can finally appreciate Herlan's complete loss of interest in the stage play.

"You don't have to worry about me and Ciri, after all, you only have this one chance to meet the legendary Flower of Pharasi, right?" Qiao Xiu said.

"Hmm... Helland is only a little over an hour anyway, let's go and see it together. ”

Sansa didn't want to waste the two tickets worth more than 2,000 gold coins, just to see the most beautiful girl in the world, and she wasn't the one who bought the tickets.

After three votes, Herlan finally agreed to Sansa's proposal and went with Sansa to the Norlan National Theatre.

"Don't you want to meet that Phalosi flower?"

Ciri had a piece of bread she had bought from a street shop for dinner, and she asked Josieu as she nibbled on it.

"My personal aesthetic is different, I prefer to cook more than those girls who wear heavy makeup and show off their flowers."

Liking beautiful girls is a common hobby of every man, but if he had to choose between being beautiful and being a housekeeper, Qiao Xiu would rather choose the latter, of course, a full-time wife with both.

But Qiao Xiu doesn't have the energy to take care of emotional matters at all now, and there is no such thing to take care of.

"That's right, after all, those noble women are all Bichi."

Ciri is hostile to the aristocratic women who live in the greenhouse and walk around ballroom balls every day, because Ciri was one of them, and Ciri had enjoyed this kind of aristocratic treatment when Ciri's mother was alive, but Ciri did not like this kind of life that was limited by rules

So Ciri is more satisfied with the way she is now than she used to be a flower in a greenhouse, and it would be better if her mother was still alive.

“……”

Qiao Xiu didn't answer, this Miss Magician, who dared to fight face-to-face with a brown bear, was indeed not suitable for dancing in a dance skirt in a ball, it was really too condescending.

Qiao Xiu's eyes looked at the hand-drawn map given by Marina, which took Qiao Xiu to the most inconspicuous location in the shopping street, and the only building in the entire shopping street that did not have the light emanating from the inscription as a sign.

The scale of the building looks quite large from the surface, there are three floors, and before Qiao Xiu could knock on the door with his hand, someone opened the door for Qiao Xiu first.

"Temple... Your Highness. ”

The moment Qiao Xiu approached here, Ino felt Qiao Xiu's breath, and the succubus immediately ran over and opened the door with awe and uneasiness.

"What about your mother?"

Qiao Xiu didn't say 'Miss Marina, a businesswoman', after Marlena accepted Eno as her appearance, Ino was willing to follow this human woman***.

"Over here, Mr. Qiao Xiu, I thought you would come back to me in a while."

Marina hurriedly walked down from the second floor, and Qiao Xiu also walked into the building, the space on the first floor of the interior seemed very empty, and there were a few display cabinets scattered around, but unfortunately the goods placed in the display cabinets had already turned into ashes.

"You are the only businessman I know in this city, Miss Marina, I am only a layman when it comes to business, and of course I can only come to you for consultation as soon as possible."

Qiao Xiu found a table in the hall on the first floor and sat down, Ciri also sat directly next to Qiao Xiu very unceremoniously, and Ino sat opposite Qiao Xiu with some trepidation at Qiao Xiu's signal.

"Then what kind of business is Mr. Qiao Xiu going to do? If it was within my means, I would definitely help. ”

Marlena took out a teapot from the cabinet in the hall, and then took out an item similar to an alcohol lamp, except that the medium of combustion changed from alcohol to magic, and in this age of national magicians, even as a businessman, Marlena would use this little trick to make fire.

"I'm going to build a tavern on the first floor."

Qiao Xiu glanced around again at the floor area of the first floor, which was more than enough to transform into a tavern.

"Tavern, but Mr. Jossiu... There are no fewer taverns in Nolan. ”

As a qualified merchant, Marina's keen business sense is the most basic, and the city of Nolan is strictly a city where humans and dwarves live together, and the dwarves love to do their best thing after working underground during the day is to go to the tavern on the ground and have a good drink.

This has caused many merchants to come at these stupid and rich dwarves, emptying their wallets with human liquor and barbecue, but the dwarves are not really stupid, and their stubborn nature makes them usually only recognize a few taverns that they frequent.

Most of the magicians of the human race shy away from things like alcohol that confuse the brain's mind.

This also caused Nolan's tavern business to be indeed profitable, but it was also one of the most money-losing businesses.

"I'm going to build a special tavern, it has enough characteristics to attract those underground friends to visit, even the magicians of the city will be interested in it, and for the construction of this tavern, I will provide the funds, Miss Marina, all you need to do is contact a few merchants who can provide drinks and the interior decoration and construction of the tavern, it is expected to take about half a year."

Qiao Xiu planned to take the construction of the Hearthstone Tavern as a long-term plan, and the money made from "Beauty and the Devil" also worked, after all, Qiao Xiu needed very little money to make his next movie.

"That's... Mr. Qiao Xiu, what are you going to invest in the second and third floors? ”

Marlena is now just a poor businessman, and Joshua's investment is very important to her.
