Chapter 53 Agreements and Perceptions
"What the hell is going on?"
"Strictly speaking, from the moment you set foot in the village of Dinecor, you were one of the subjects of our visit."
Narrator-kun sat at his desk and crossed his legs. Dana stood motionless like a statue, while Adrithea, the dragon girl next to her, was lazily lying on the sofa in her office, kicking her ass with a pair of beautiful legs, and a slender tail sticking out from her back chasing the two pairs of legs, as if she was amusing herself.
"You have met all our needs, a certain amount of logistical ability, an honest nature, the cunning of a businessman, and a heart to look ahead."
"Look ahead?"
Drass didn't understand what he was in, but he knew that he had met the owner of this paradise-like place in a daze. Even himself is in a state that can be said to be almost rude.
"Yes, I don't like people who are too rigid and ignorant."
Standing in front of the huge desk was Dras, who had already changed out of what he thought was an expensive formal suit and replaced it with a suit called a suit provided by the narrator. Slightly different from the servant next to him, the black background color and gray vertical stripes, the white shirt is not too much embellishment. When he first saw himself in the mirror and changed into this outfit, Dellas even thought that the mirror was deceiving.
Now Dellas didn't want to look backward like he used to be, his brown hair stood neatly on the back of his head, and his beard that had just been cut off left the original blue marks. The current Derras has a unique temperament of a middle-aged uncle in Europe and the United States in the TV series.
Drass touched his non-existent beard, and there was a sting of stubble in his fingers, which confirmed that he was not asleep now, he had been delayed here for three days, and according to the merchant's concept of time is money, he should be in a hurry now, and he should be in a hurry to think that his twenty carts of spices and sea salt were the common currency wherever he went, and now it seemed to be a joke.
Drass simply emptied his mind, stretched out his arms, and leaned comfortably on the huge sofa, as if there were two delicate beauties in the crook of his arms, Drass tilted his head and looked at the huge chandelier on the ceiling composed of countless precious glass crystals, the luxury of this office alone was beyond his imagination.
Finally figured it out, Dlas leaned his elbows on his knees, crossed his thumbs, rested his chin on his hands, and asked in such a posture that he would hardly respect others in the world of common sense:
"I don't think your Excellency needs gold, after all, your wealth is completely beyond my imagination, and the funny thing is that I was still thinking about how to make a fortune from those miserable goods before I came, let's be honest, what do you want me to do?"
"That's right, gold, gold, this is just a mineral to me, you don't have to worry about your goods, as long as you are doing things for me, anywhere in this world, I can help you very quickly. I have already bought the seventeen tons of goods you brought at a premium of about 20% according to the market price of the kingdom, and the extra money is the start-up capital I gave you. ”
The narrator pauses, and Adrisia rolls over and presses her restless tail against the couch, while her legs kick the couch's gauntlets for pleasure. Dana pushed her glasses that didn't exist.
"I need information about this world, I will spend a lot of money to buy information from you, of course, all of this depends on whether the information you provide is useful to me, as you can see, I am not recruiting you alone."
"I guess what you need is information from the Holy Sect. Because I was born in the sphere of influence of the Holy Religion, and I am not religious, at least not internally. Right? ”
"I really didn't see it wrong, the power of the church is almost leakless, it is difficult to find a suitable breakthrough, faith seems to be a real power in this world, it is very incredible, just relying on prayer, people can be healed, just relying on faith, can make people invulnerable. Therefore, the people in the sphere of influence of the church are very religious. ”
"And I, although I belong to the church area, and my family is mainly supported by the church, but because I am a businessman, not a businessman directly under the church, I don't have much trust in the church, right?"
"That's right, and I can tell you very clearly, there are white feathered wings...... It doesn't have to be an angel. ”
"It's kind of interesting."
Dras felt that he had reached a certain level of resonance with this man, that it was not necessarily an angel who had white feathered wings, and this was the reason why Derras had not been able to convert to the Holy Religion, he had seen with his own eyes that during the famine, there was a huge amount of food hoarded in the huge church of the church, and the balding monks ate everything round and jade, and the refugees who had fled to the Holy Land because of famine and plague were judged as heretics because they could not hand over their offerings for a day.
Heresy is disrespect for the Holy Spirit, and only fire can make clear of this man's sins. As a merchant, Dellas has seen too many evil deeds in the church. However, for the sake of his family and his own survival, he must stand on the same ground as the church, or he will be the next person to be burned at the stake.
Dellas has been smarter than ordinary since he was a child, his two older brothers only know how to eat, drink, and play with guns since they were young, and he likes to read precious books at home, he has no desire for power, in the sea of books, Dellas sees the injustice of the world, but he also recognizes his own weakness. Rather than dreaming big, Dras is more willing to start working on the good deeds in front of him. But now he seemed to feel that he was on the verge of a dream.
"What's the pay?"
"It depends on what you want?"
"Technology! It's what you call science, I don't just want something, but a complete set of technology from raw materials to finished products. ”
The narrator looked at the handsome uncle in front of him with a smile:
"Brother, your appetite is a bit big, the scope of science is very large, no one can be omniscient, I will give an analogy, electricity must be in charge of the people in the power technology department, and then the energy generated is in charge of the other part of the people, although the production workers need to know very few things, give you any set of technology according to the current you, you are not able to eat."
"But if I want to change the world, only people like you can provide technology to fulfill my dream. If it's not technology, I don't think any remuneration will satisfy me. ”
"I think I can provide something that is more long-lasting, but can make steady profits, outside of technology."
"What is it?"
"Education! If you really want to change the world, then you may not be able to see it in your lifetime, but I can provide you with enough education to keep up with the pace of technology, maybe your generation and I will see the situation of that life, but your children and grandchildren, your descendants. I can guarantee that they will have a bright future. ”
"Deal. Hopefully I've made the right choice this time. ”
"Whether you're right or not, at least you won't regret it."
Narrator gets up and shakes Dras's hand, but what Narrator doesn't know is that this man, who is only one of many sources of information, turns out to be a man who turns out to be a turning point in his life.
"Hey, haven't you been able to eat yet? I'm so hungry. ”
In the picture full of sentiment, a sentence suddenly came that was extremely incongruous with the current picture. Adelicia was so bored that she rolled from the couch to the floor, and the black and red smoke on her body was filled, expressing that if she didn't feed again, she would turn back into a dragon in this small office, and the narrator scratched her head in embarrassment:
"Well, I'll take her out for some food, and Dana will trouble you next."
"Got it, sir."
