Chapter 1212: "Rainbow Stone"
"Ahhhh——!h
Just as Roland was thinking about how to make better use of the power of the Rubik's Cube, a familiar scream suddenly sounded in the courtyard. He subconsciously raised his head, only to see that the car did not travel around the courtyard road, but rushed into the central flower garden, and it was the mysterious moon who replaced Sylvie sitting in the car.
"W-this idiot!" Lily said through gritted teeth, "Hit the brakes!"
"I stepped on it...... But I can't step on it!" Mysa exclaimed in a panic.
The out-of-control steam car swerved left and right in the flowerbed, and when it rushed out of the flowerbed, it hit the castle gate just in front of it—
"Your Majesty, watch out!" Wendy's face changed dramatically.
The crowd jumped at once.
I'll give it a go, Roland looked at the mysterious moon who was holding the steering wheel with his eyes closed, and was dumbfounded, can a car without a gas pedal drive this effect?
To his surprise, none of the witches around him dispersed, but all stood in front of him. In an instant, all sorts of abilities swarmed out - Anna's wall of black fire, the ravines of the lotus separated him from the courtyard, Ife's magic cage and Andrea's arrows of light were aimed at the wheels and ready to be fired, and the nightingale grabbed his arm, ready to drag him into the mist.
And in the end, it was Phyllis and Loga, who won purely by force, who prevented the car accident from happening.
They were the first to get in front of everyone, grabbed the car's crash bar, and lifted its front wheels off the ground.
Anna manipulated the black fire to shut down the festival cube.
The steam engine, which had lost its pressure, quickly calmed down.
"Ahhhhh
"You big-fool-fool!" Lily jumped over the ravine, climbed into the car, and slapped Mytsuki the back of the head, slapping her screams into her stomach.
The latter opened his eyes and covered his head with an innocent expression.
"Mystery Moon!"
Seeing Wendy and the scroll surrounded by menacing her, Mystery Moon reacted, "I'm sorry, I was wrong-" However, it was too late to apologize at this moment, and before the head of the detective group could defend himself, he was dragged directly into the castle by the two.
"You're in trouble every time!"
"This week's vacation, cancelled!"
"The rules of the League of Witches, copy it a hundred more times!"
"There are five sets of exercises, and you are not allowed to eat until you finish them!"
It wasn't until Mystic Moon's wail disappeared inside the castle that the witches shuddered with empathy—not Her Highness the Queen, of course.
"I checked the car, and there was no problem with the steering and braking mechanisms," Anna had finished her inspection and returned to Roland's side, "I'm afraid there's only one reason why Mystery Moon deviated from the road." ”
"What is it?"
"She's too little strength. Anna said helplessly.
Roland couldn't help laughing, because he didn't have enough strength to hit the direction, and finally led to "eating a partial pear"...... It seems that before the implementation of the steering and brake assist devices, those with less than or equal strength to one mystery month can only refuse to participate in the test drive.
The messy courtyard was quickly restored by Lian and Anna's joint efforts, and looking at the witches who were staring at him, Roland shook his head amusedly, "If you still want to open it, just ask Anna - as long as she agrees, I don't have a problem, just be careful not to tear down the castle." By the way, and one more thing, don't forget to come back for lunch. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Please let me be the first to board the bus!"
"Eh, it's clear that I came first!"
Once again, the courtyard was covered with laughter and laughter.
"My lord, it's here. ”
The carriage came to a slow stop in front of a tavern, and Victor Lothar stepped out of the carriage, threw the two silver wolves to the coachman, and walked inside.
"You're here, Mr. Victor!" Soon a pretty woman in a close-fitting white robe trotted over and enthusiastically took his luggage, "Your room owner has always prepared it, please come with me." ”
It was still the largest compartment on the top floor, and everything in the room remained the same as when he left, including incense, wine, and brass bells, a maid who served him.
Victor nodded with satisfaction, this is the power of money, although it cannot reverse life and death, it has the magic power to freeze time.
"You've been away for a long time. Brass Bell quickly opened the curtains, set up the window, and poured hot tea for him, "The boss has guessed whether you have been robbed, or if you were shipwrecked when you went to sea, and you will never come back." He has to count the golden dragon you left behind every day to see how long he can still pay for the house, and he wants to rent the house to others in advance, but he doesn't dare to violate the contract law of Neverwinter, and the dilemma is really laughing. ”
Looking at the lively and fast-talking maid, Victor felt that the fatigue accumulated from the long journey had dissipated a little, "You are not afraid of being known by him if you say this?"
Brass stuck out her tongue, "Unless you tell him secretly." By the way, where have you been these days?
"Sort of," Victor sipped his tea, "I've been mostly in the south for most of the year. ”
"Hey, the South?" said Brass Bell, tilting his head, "It's not full of gems, is it?"
"There's a gem anywhere, as long as you know how to discover it. He shrugged, "In the South, for example, gems grow on branches." ”
"Sir, you're teasing me again. The maid pouted.
Victor smiled, he knew that the other party would not believe it, in fact, even he could not believe it until he had seen it himself, that cotton fields could be more beautiful than gems. The seeds that had been cultivated by Miss Leaf could be described as incredible, and when the shrub grew up, the cotton that bloomed from the flowers and fruits was large, soft, and as white as snow, and hardly like the same crop compared to the thin cotton buds he remembered.
And during the planting period, he was not idle. Mobilize a team of tailors from his hometown, recruit people to build factories in Bishui Port, contact contacts to prepare for business, and get busy as soon as the cotton fields are harvested. What followed went even more smoothly than he had imagined, as the new cotton quickly overwhelmed other similar goods with its extremely high quality and approachable price. From quilts to padded clothes, each item has achieved extremely impressive sales in various cities.
Of course, Victor has not forgotten the competition that His Majesty said, and when other merchants also buy Miss Ye's cotton seeds from Wudong, this part of the market will definitely be squeezed. Therefore, on top of simple cotton fabrics, he also prepared a series of high-end products, mainly complete sets of clothing, from design, materials to tailoring, all of which took the route of excellence, and embroidered a unique five-color gemstone logo on the cuffs and collar of each garment to show his difference.
This kind of clothing with a very upper-class style was quickly recognized by some people, and it gradually had a special nickname, "Rainbow Stone".
He also did not abandon the low-priced items, whether they were quilts or robes, which were marked with the same mark - the only difference was that the thread used for the logo was monochrome.
Victor vaguely felt that if he did this, even if the prices of other merchants were lower than his, some people would still choose ordinary clothes embroidered with rainbow stone logos, just as in the past, when selling jewelry, nobles would give preference to famous carved works.
"How long will you stay when you come back this time?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Copper Ling changed the subject.
"About three or four days, there's still a lot of work to be done in the south. Victor replied.
"Are you going to leave so soon?" said the maid's voice.
He immediately understood the other party's thoughts—if she didn't renew the room this time, she would have to serve other guests, which was obviously much more troublesome than getting paid for taking care of the room every day. Victor didn't think it was a big deal, but he thought it would be a good idea to continue to have Brass Bell serve rather than a different person.
Before you get tired of it.
"Don't worry, I'll pay enough for the next time I return to the Golden Dragon before Winterless. ”
"Really?" Copper Bell's eyes lit up.
"It's not a big expense," Victor said, standing up and flicking a golden dragon into her hand, "This is the cost of this stay, and now I'm going to the Executive Hall, you can lead the way." ”
