After entering the city, the carriage did not go to the Lord's Palace, but drove in front of the largest and most luxurious hotel in Toronto. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Excellency has instructed a few of you to prepare here. Then there was an important matter to be discussed. The clerk spoke in a consultative tone.

The four brothers and sisters got off one after another, and several maids and deacons were already standing at the door, and it seemed that the lord attached great importance to their arrival. Los Angeles felt more and more that the atmosphere was a little wrong, where was it forcing debts, but it was like entertaining distinguished guests.

Although the waiters at the door were very respectful, their eyes lacked contempt and ridicule.

After entering the hotel, the entire hall is more than 1,000 square meters, and the golden marble floor is like a mirror. A red and gold-trimmed carpet leads to the front desk. Spiral staircases on both sides lead to the upper rooms. The white marble pillars on both sides are carved with these different human reliefs, as if telling a myth or legend.

Looking up, the ceiling is 10 meters above the ground, and stacks of crystal chandeliers hang overhead, even in the middle of the night, the lights can illuminate every corner of the hall, which looks very magnificent.

There weren't many people in the hall at this time. The four siblings were sent to their respective rooms to freshen up.

The clerk himself waited patiently in the lobby.

Los Angeles and Ollie returned to the hall an hour later, their hair neatly combed, each wearing a well-fitting black tuxedo, a white shirt, a black bow tie, black trousers, and black leather shoes.

Half an hour later, Acea also came to the hall, and at this time she wore a headdress in the shape of a top hat with two red ribbons hanging from the back of her head, and her long blond hair neatly arranged at the back of her head, which looked very beautiful against the red ribbon. She wears a pale pink princess dress, a pair of short white gloves, and a pair of small red leather shoes. She is small and cute, and now she is enough to kill the strange uncles and strange aunts present.

The last to come down was the second sister Suna, who was a full hour later than Acheia. As soon as she appeared, she had a pure white low-cut dress that amazed the audience. The petticoat supported by the whale bone dragged until her feet were bare, and only a pair of white leather shoes could be faintly seen. The long gloves are decorated with small red roses on each wrist. The red agate necklace on the chest contrasts greatly with the white skin. It seems that the face has been powdered, lipstick has been applied, and even the eyebrows and eyelashes have been retouched. A bunch of star-shaped citrine earrings with long brown hair coiled back of the head. Los Angeles and Ollie almost recognized it, and it seemed that this was Suna, who had been with them day and night.

It's just that her foot slipped when she went downstairs. Almost fell off the stairs. Completely ruined her previous perfect image.

"These high heels are not comfortable at all, and I am not used to walking. I also have to walk with my skirt on. Suna seems to be looking for some excuse for her gaffe.

The carriage was already waiting outside the hall, and unlike before, this time the carriage was very luxurious. Even four white horse-drawn carts were directly used. The body is made of a precious wood that exudes a faint aroma. And there are many luxurious metal decorations on the body, and from different angles, the color of the metal is also different.

It was close to dusk, and the clouds in the sky were starting to glow red. Achea glanced up, sadness in her eyes,

"Is the storm coming?" asked Ollie.

"Hmm. Little Aceia nodded, "In a week." ”

Except for their brother and sister, the people around them just smiled. Childlike words.

"Copper fragrant wood. Acea said the moment she touched the body.

"The little sister really has an eye, but it's a pity that this is Adri sandalwood, named after the discoverer. It's expensive to ship from the New World. The coachman corrected with a smile, but not the slightest hint of mockery.

Aicea wanted to say something, but the eldest brother Los Angeles picked up the car.

The Lord's Mansion is located in the central square of the city, not too far from the inn. It's just that it's so big, so big that it would take half an hour for the carriage to go straight through the garden. The route passes through three bridges, two garden mazes, a rockery tunnel and eight flower beds with flowers of different colors.

The guard at the door pushed open the door to the main house, and the clerk led the group to the meeting room. Philus, the lord of Torontoni, had been waiting for a long time, and Ollie had a hunch that the lord was taking this seemingly one-sided meeting very seriously.

"Big brother. ”

"I also feel that this is not a simple debt collection. Then he waved his hand, and everything depended.

The lord sat behind a desk facing the doorway. The uncle looked to be in his forties, with a Chinese face, a golden curly wig on his head, and a neat gown with many medals on it.

The four siblings sat on either side, one group of brothers and one group of sisters. The clerk also stood beside the lord with his hands down. At the same time, the maid was greeted with delicate pastries. Acea couldn't wait to taste it, and the eyes of the lord twitched when she saw it.

"Sister, it's so sweet. It's really sweet. You have a piece too. As he spoke, he was about to deliver the pastry to Suna's mouth. Elchea's innocent smile brought a little life to the awkward situation.

The lord coughed, drawing everyone's attention back.

The lord didn't say much of an opening statement, but asked them straight about how they were going to repay the loan.

"The debt that Ullis owed four years ago was due last year, and then suddenly disappeared. I have reason to suspect that he is dead. ”

"No, Daddy isn't dead. Acea's eyes were full of rage, and she seemed very unhappy that he had cursed her father like this.

"Why? Or do you have any evidence that he's still alive?" the lord's fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if he wasn't angry at all, but rather had the expression I expected.

"The intuition of the children. Suna seemed to be out for the round, and she did her best to reassure Achea. On weekdays, in such formal occasions, she rarely speaks.

"Interesting intuition. The lord smiled, "But that doesn't justify delaying repayment again. ”

"Now you have two options. At this point, the lord's tone suddenly hardened.

After a pause, he continued.

"First, return it with your labor. Men go to the quarries or the army for at least 40 years of hard labor, and women ......"

"Please just say the second option. Los Angeles politely interrupted him.

The lord's face changed slightly, but immediately returned to normal.

"To the New World. The lord paused again.

"The New World was discovered four years ago by my uncle, the Grand Duke of Toron, and now the first city has been established there, Edria, which is, in our family's language, the Light of Hope. Not only our country, but a large number of adventurers from all over the world have traveled there to pioneer the wilderness. Nowadays, the resources of the continent are close to exhaustion, but the new continent has endless resources, and even some species resources have never appeared in the continent. For example......"

"Copper incense, or Adri's sandalwood?" said Los Angeles for a moment's thought, "and the metal that changes color on the carriage?"

"Good insight. The lord complimented. But Luo Shan noticed that he didn't know if it was because the temperature in the study was too high or for some other reason, and the lord's forehead was sweating.

"And the syrup, the gourmet syrup. In the past, only a few spices such as honey could be used as sweeteners, and production was scarce. But in the New World, there are many plants that can secrete sugar juice. The lord looked at the empty plate containing the cake with a heartbroken heart.

"And some spices that we've never seen before. ”

"If you can go to the New World and bring your discoveries with you. I'll give you the amount you have to pay off the debt. ”

"At the same time, I will also be transporting between the New World. All the raw materials or goods you bring back must be sold by me, and you will receive 50% of the profits, of which 30% will be directly used to repay the loan, and the remaining 20% will be at your disposal. At the same time, our family will do everything in its power to support any of your plans in the New World. "The lord accentuated the family with any.

"After the loan is paid off, you can look for any buyer to sell the item at will. I won't ask for a share anymore. Of course, I would prefer to maintain a good supply and demand relationship between us. We'll pay a price 10% higher than theirs. ”

"Such conditions have to be said to be very tempting. Los Angeles was silent for a moment, then looked at Suna and Ollie, who both nodded in agreement. However, Achea was not consulted.

"We agree. ”

"Very well, in order to celebrate the successful conclusion of this agreement, I have ordered a dinner party to be prepared, please do not refuse. The lord clapped his hands, and a maid came to lead them into the banquet hall.

"Suna, you take Achea over first, Ollie and I still have some details to discuss with the lord. ”

"Hmm. Suna quickly left the study with Aceia.

Seeing that they had all left, Los Angeles spoke.

"I beg to let Elchea stay, she's still young. At the same time, I also hope that she can be educated, to be an ordinary child, not an adventurer who has to think about her own safety all the time. ”

"I can promise you that, but Achea's living expenses will be deducted from your earnings, including her future education. If she can't continue to pay, then it means that she will live on the streets. ”

"Totally acceptable. Los Angeles shook his head helplessly.

When Los Angeles arrived at the banquet hall, Suna and Achea were already seated, talking to the lord's wife about their hometown.

The Lady of the Lord's Mansion is in her thirties, and she looks quite young, but her body has begun to grow. Like the lord, the lady of the leader also wears a golden curly wig and a thick powder on her face, so she can resist the bow and arrow head-on. The bright red lipstick on the lips contrasts greatly with the bloodless white face. On the ten fingers of both hands are ten rings of precious stones of various colors, and it is said that the stones set in the rings are still found in the New World. It's enough to believe that she also has rings on her toes. In contrast, Lord Torondoni was much more normal.
