236 Spellbreakers
The good thing of becoming a prince's son-in-law is put on anyone, and he can't wait to accept it, even at the expense of abandoning some beautiful things, exposing the selfishness and ugliness of human nature.
Because of this, Charlie's evasion is commendable. But this seems to be a dead knot, the little girl Qianxue chased desperately, the old man Charlie pretended to be deaf and dumb to avoid, and the people around him were powerless, and emotional matters could not be forced.
The three days passed quickly, and it was time for the Thousand Siblings to go home, because the Three Saints Day was coming.
It is one of the most important festivals of the Millennial Empire, and it is also the day of the establishment of the Millennial Empire, hundreds of years ago, on the same day, the founding emperor Henry, with the help of magicians and the aristocracy, defeated the fanatical and corrupt clerical forces and laid down a great kingdom, on which day he declared the end of the war, and people poured into the streets to express joy and celebration with songs and laughter.
Hundreds of years have passed, its historical commemorative significance is not so obvious, but shows more humanistic significance, like many traditional festivals, relatives will return to the family on this day, the family to enjoy a rare family fun, so almost everyone will not miss this festival.
However, Charlie was tragic, and he "came" to Wagland's first Three Saints, which he had to spend on his own. It wasn't because of his father's absence, but Brian brought an urgent magic letter from the Haynes Magic Guild, and after Charlie read it, he decided to leave Haynes immediately and rush to save people.
"I think I'll probably have to go with you this time, and this Three Holy Days will probably not be spent in the castle. ”
"Young Master, is something wrong?" Brian asked, feeling a little lost, in fact, he had carefully prepared a lot of things for this year's Three Saints' Day, because this was the first Three Saints that the young master spent in the castle, and it was also the loneliest and loneliest Three Saints.
"One of my partners had a problem and needed my help, which was my biggest income, and I had to go. ”
Brian was surprised: "The young master also has his own business outside?!"
Charlie nodded silently.
Qianju smiled and said, "It's okay! You can go to my house! Business problems are not a problem, and they should be solved soon." ”
Qianxue was overjoyed, "Yes! Business is not important in life, go to my house! Guarantee that you can taste the most traditional and pure festival taste, there is no place in the whole empire that respects tradition more than the capital York." ”
Charlie said in his heart, how can you two young masters and young ladies from high society understand the mood of civilians, for Charlie, of course, business is more important than life, without business, there is no capital for life.
The magical message was sent by Donald, and the tea business he was promoting was gradually on the right track, the tea factory had been secretly built, and the first batch of mass-produced tea had been produced, and various channels were actively being built.
But at this critical moment, something happened to his family, and his father Louis XIII died before the most difficult winter, so the turbulent rapids of the Louis family in the shadows rushed to the table, and the whole city of Faro was in chaos.
At present, the tea business is Charlie's most high-hopeful project, it plays the role of a blood transfusion in Charlie's macro layout at this stage, transfusing blood for the magic seal carving factory, because the latter has to develop rapidly, the consumption is not small, with Master Ron's financial resources, I am afraid it is still a little stretched, once the financial resources cannot keep up, the speed of development will be affected.
Therefore, Charlie must get this matter done and open up this blood transfusion channel as soon as possible.
Charlie patiently explained: "All of you here are my friends, and there are some things that I don't need to hide from you, Qianzhu should also know that I have made a business with Donald, and it is called tea ......."
"What?!" Bruce's eyes widened in shock, "Could it be that you are the big boss behind the new drink tea that is popular throughout high society?
Cha thought for a moment and said, "That should be Donald's operation! We need a protective umbrella, and the identity of the prince probably meets the requirements." ”
Bruce just asked casually, but he didn't expect to get Charlie's affirmative answer, and he was even more surprised, drinks like tea that have seen commercial prospects must be a golden unicorn in the industry.
Seeing the strange expressions of the Qianqi brothers and sisters, Charlie explained one more sentence, "The way I work with Donald is that he is fully responsible for operation and maintenance, and I only provide the original formula and some ideas, and you know that my interest is not in business, and I don't have the energy." ”
Qianji frowned slightly, and replied: "Don't be nervous, I just think that your way of cooperation is a little unusual, he really deserves your trust?!"
Charlie smirked, "Trust is the hardest problem to solve, so we use the magic master-servant contract. ”
Bruce shrugged, "Oh! that's pretty simple!"
Qianzhu muttered: "If you sign a magic contract, you have the most basic foundation of trust, but you don't trust this kind of thing too much, since it is a contract, there are also means to break the contract, but the cost is a little higher."
If tea really develops to a certain extent, I'm afraid the binding power of the contract is not enough, Charlie, you have to pay special attention to this. ”
Charlie bowed slightly, "Thank you, I understand, but for the time being, there are no worries about this, I see that Donald is also in a hurry to go to the doctor, and he has sent me for help." ”
In the Gold Coast Alliance, Port Faro is a port city slightly inferior to the Port of Haines, objectively speaking, the influence of the Louis family is smaller than that of the Pavel family to a certain extent, but the gap is not very large.
Thomas warned Charlie not to participate in the Pavel family's struggle for power, and the biggest consideration was to let Charlie avoid these vicious and ugly things, but now he is forced to join another family's war.
Psychologically speaking, Charlie is very reluctant, but there is no way, if Donald dies in this war without gunpowder, Charlie and his contract will be invalidated, and the entire tea industry will fall into the hands of the Louis family, and this will seriously disrupt Charlie's plan, and it will be a headache to think about.
For a moment, Cha Li asked David's father, Uncle Jim, for help, and after thinking about it, forget it, although there is a foundation of trust between them, but for the sake of their own industry, dragging the brother's family into a whirlpool, that is not a kind approach, it touches Charlie's bottom line.
Qianxue asked with concern, "What's wrong with him?"
"Louis XIII is dead, and a brutal battle for power is about to begin. ”
"Oh~!No wonder, I just heard the news of the civil unrest in Faro City recently, and I haven't paid attention to the reason. ”
Qian Jue said solemnly: "I'm afraid it's not a wise choice for you, an outsider, to participate in the battle for power in his family. ”
Charlie smiled bitterly: "Actually, I basically don't have a choice, I am tied to Donald's interests, and I need these interests to support some follow-up plans." ”
Thinking of some of Charlie's previous questions, Qianzhu instantly understood his overall idea, business is a means to seek resources, and the ultimate purpose is to serve to strengthen oneself, one's own strength is one thing, and the development of the knights is another.
For a moment, the room fell silent.
Some of the problems are so tricky that you just want to reach for something, and you will inevitably encounter some personal pain.
After a short long test, Qianzhu suddenly shouted to the sky, "Mr. Avida, I need your help." ”
Everyone was stunned.
In the blink of an eye, a gray-white figure appeared in everyone's field of vision, and his appearance was so sudden that it seemed to be standing next to you without moving, until people turned their attention to this side, and they realized that it was a person.
Charlie thought that after defeating Brazz, there would be few people in the world who could keep up with his speed, and this confidence came from his super high agility value, from the magic tattoo he invented, and from the elven "wind elegance".
But today, these self-confidence were shattered in front of the old man in front of him, and Charlie experienced the feeling of powerlessness when he played against Brazz.
And, in the field of vision of the chip, it is another amazing sight.
Around the old man, both free magic particles and light staggered in front of him until he slowly accepted them.
At this moment, the elemental particles seem to be endowed with wisdom, and are expressing the conflict with the old man in the most intense way, they are disgusted with the old man, but they are powerless against him, as if there is a magnetic field in his body that repels any element.
The old man seemed to feel Charlie's strange gaze, and deliberately glanced at him, causing a slight disturbance in the magical elements around Charlie, which would make the mage feel very uncomfortable.
Bruce's pupils shrank, and he let out an exclamation, "Mr. Avida, the 'Spellbreaker'?"
Avida didn't respond to Bruce's amazement.
Qian Yu continued: "Sir, I want you to help Charlie during this time and protect his personal safety. ”
Unable to respond, Charlie hurriedly said: "No! Qianju, I understand your kindness, this help is too valuable, I can't afford it, I can't drag your family in!"
Qianzhu smiled and said: "Charlie, don't worry! Mr. himself has a sense of proportion, and he will not leave any tricks." Taking 10,000 steps back, offending a merchant family is not a big deal, but if the matter is exposed, I think it is the Louis family who is more worried. ”
