Chapter 251: Grinding Stone Loves Stone
"Nicole, how's it going?" said Lynco as she walked briskly into the clubhouse, as she waited here. [Ran^Text^Library] []
"He's waiting, looking a little anxious, but I'm not sure if it's a disguise," Nicole said quickly.
Lin Ke nodded, came to the door of the small living room and stopped, took a deep breath, relaxed, raised a smile, and slowly pushed the door in.
"Hey, how are you the troubadour from the Jialan Empire?" Lin Ke smiled and nodded to the young man who got up in a hurry and said, "Please take a seat, you don't know that I am actually a person who is very interested in the geography of the continent, but there are fewer talents who walk the continent around me, some time ago I learned that there was a troubadour from the Jialan Empire, so I hurriedly finished dealing with the matter at hand and came to see you, how about it, tell me about your strange things along the way?!"
The young troubadour first made a strange aristocratic salute respectfully before taking his seat at Linko's signal, and behaved very elegantly, which was obviously not something that could be done by a commoner family, "Isn't Lord Cohen more interested in the purpose of my coming here to find you?"
Lin Ke raised his eyes to look at him after taking a sip of tea, his immature skin was dark and rough due to the wind and sun, and the obvious bags under his eyes showed that his humble journey was not easy, not to mention the skinny figure, "I don't know your name yet?"
"Ahh ”
"Adam, well, can I call you that?" Lin Ke smiled and continued after seeing the latter nod, "In my opinion, troubadours are a very mysterious group, they travel the continent because of some dreams and pursuits of art, collect all kinds of myths and legends, are witnesses and recorders of history, it is not easy, compared to this, I don't think there is anything else that interests me more. ”
The young man named Adam hesitated for a moment, and then said hesitantly, "......Actually," he continued, gritting his teeth, "as a nobleman, you should not lie! Actually, I cannot be regarded as a particularly authentic troubadour, although I really yearn for that kind of existence, but I left my home because I was in debt, and I have to say that I lack the courage necessary to be a true troubadour." ”
"Oh?!" Lin Ke was really interested, "Then tell me what is the reason why you came to the Customs Chamber of Commerce to see me by name?"
The young man pursed his lips and thought for a moment before saying, "Because I love stones!Oh, it's called a millstone here in the God of War Empire, well, I've been living here for a few days, I've heard people in this chamber of commerce call this Cohen Diamond! Named after you, so I'd like to find you and ask about something." ”
"What's the matter?" asked Linko.
Young Adam stared nervously into Lin Ke's eyes and slowly asked, "Do you need a lot of love stones?!"
"Love stone, good name," Lin Ke did not answer Adam's question directly, but was very interested in the name that the Jialan Empire gave to the rough diamond, "In the Jialan Empire, the diamond is called *stone, is it used to show love?"
Young Adam obviously didn't care about this question, what made him nervous was something else, "Yes, it is said that a long, long time ago someone did use it as a token of love, but now that the continent is getting richer and richer, who would use such a stone to show love, all kinds of jewelry are countless!"
"Lord Cohen, I heard that you have acquired several love stone veins in the God of War Empire, do you really need so many love stones?" Adam said a little anxiously, "You must know that the only ones on this continent are actually the Jialan Empire and the God of War Empire, and the raw ore needed by other countries needs to be purchased from these two places, I ...... I know that there is a huge vein of love stones, even if it is placed in the whole continent, it is considered one of the best, are you interested?!"
Lin Ke shook his head with a smile and said, "It turns out that you came to me for this matter, hehe, the grinding stone or love stone has no other purpose except that it is strong enough to be used as a tool for cutting hard substances, right?
Adam sat down in his chair as if all his energy had been drained in an instant, and muttered to himself in a daze, "yes, yes, yes, how can anyone need so many love stones...... Sure enough, it still doesn't work......"
Lin Ke took a leisurely sip of tea while observing Adam's reaction, "Mr. Adam, are you okay, is something wrong?
Adam shook his head in despair and said, "Impossible, it's not a small debt, even if I sell all the valuable things in the whole family, it won't be enough to fully cope with the past," he put his fingers in his hair in pain and covered his head and cried, "I'm sorry for my father, I'm sorry for my ancestors......"
Nicole gave Lin Ke a timely look, but Lin Ke ignored it.
He couldn't bear it.
Nicole walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "Young master, don't miss the opportunity!"
Lin Ke shook his head lightly and said solemnly, "How much debt do you owe?"
Adam stiffened, then jerked his head up and stared at Lin Ke's eyes, his lips trembled, and he said, "Two ...... 20,000 gold coins...... You ......"
Linko got up and walked up to Adam and said, "How much is your family worth?"
Adam was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "Fifteen thousand, no...... Even if you sell them all...... It's not worth 10,000 ......."
"Who is the creditor??!" Lin Ke said in a deep voice.
Maybe it was forced by Lin Ke's momentum, or maybe it was because of too long of repression that Adam was too eager to find someone to talk to, "The creditor is the mayor of Windmill Town, he has a daughter who married the city lord, and my family, which was originally the richest man in Windmill Town, is gradually declining, love stone is excellent to use as a tool, but its wear and tear cycle is too long, although my family has a whole vein, but it is useless......"
"Hmph, I'm afraid it's not a trick to see people," Lin Ke said with one hand on Adam's shoulder, "I'm here to send you back to China, pay off your debts, and let the Alfred family rise again, and even become the number one famous family in the Jialan Empire!"
Adam was stunned on the spot, and only after a long time did he take a deep breath and said solemnly, "So what do you want?!"
Lin Ke also said with a solemn expression, "I want you to become the head of the Alfred family and have full control over the family, I want you to be loyal to me, I want you to be the spokesperson of the Customs Chamber of Commerce in the Jialan Empire, I want you to live in this world like a person again." ”
"Instead of man living, but his heart is dead. ”
