Chapter 157: Tide Samurai
After all, there are still not many entertainment activities in this world, when Mu En and the old cookie left the tavern street, the noise subsided, and slowly the surroundings fell silent, and the blue moon swayed a cold light, illuminating the road ahead, and also dragging out two dark and changing shadows.

As a shadow walker, Cookie is more comfortable at night than during the day, and Muen's eyes also have the ability to see in a shimmering light, and in the moonlight, the two of them didn't even save the torch for lighting, and they didn't speak, and they seemed a little silent for a while.
Finally, Mu En still spoke first: "Uncle Cookie, today's negotiation, well, let's be a negotiation, although I feel more like a notice." Do you think he'll agree?"
"By the way, you actually call me uncle? Why?" Old Cookie tilted his head to look at him, and a sentence came out in response to the question.
"Uh?!The older ones are called brothers, the older ones are called uncles, and the older ones are called grandpa!
"Hehe, based on my age, I definitely can't be your grandfather. However, I haven't called me uncle for a long, long time!"
"Hehe, it's called the crown or something, it's too rusty. It's better to be an uncle, be kind, and shorten the distance. "The hierarchy of this world is very strict, if ordinary people offend professionals, even if they are verbally offended, they will be punished, or even killed directly, and they will lose some money at most.
And in the transcendent level of the powerhouse, its status is equivalent to the kingdom, and the title is called by the crown, which is not only respect, but also fear!
"It's up to you. By the way, what did you just ask, will he agree? Well, he naturally doesn't want to agree, Kotos, cunning fox. Hehe, this old man only has money in his eyes, but it really doesn't make a difference whether he promises it or not!"
"As long as Hill says yes. ”
"Ciel, who is Ciel?" asked Muen, puzzled.
"Ciel Fawkes, his master, and his own brother, the king of the Kitsune, a transcendent professional in the water system, and a tidal warrior nicknamed 'The Great Waves of the Sea'. Of course, he is also one of the forty-nine instructors of the Academy. ”
"Extraordinarily strong?"
"Naturally, the entire Black and White City plus such a large liquor market as the Academy, if there is no powerful backstage, do you think that just by him, the old fox man who is not a second-order strength, can hold it!"
"Uncle, how do you know that he will definitely agree?"
"Ciel! Carrying too much stuff. Since I mentioned it, he will naturally agree!"
......
Inside the Flame Tavern, Kotos's office.
When Cookie left with Muen, the smile on Kotos's face gradually faded, and after closing the door, he walked back to the main seat and sat down, playing with the bottle of liquor that Muen left behind when he left, his expression mixed with coldness and anger.
In his opinion, cookies are not here to talk about cooperation, but to inform him, even the family behind him. The instinct of the businessman made him smile, and the difference in strength, he didn't even dare to say a 'no', but that didn't mean he wasn't angry.
I'm going to show you that our fox people aren't easy to bully......
After a long time, Kotos, who had come to his senses, stood up as if he had been electrocuted, and he roared and called the butler to prepare the carriage, and when he stepped out of the door, he looked back into the room, as if he was very disgusted, and said again: "Throw me all the things they have just used." When I come back, I'm going to see that it's all new. Otherwise, you will be the only one who drowned in the Liujin River this year. ”
......
In the upper reaches of the Liujin River, the terrain rises higher and higher, forming a long hill shape, and it is here that there is a wide road that spirals upward, and even tall trees are neatly planted on both sides.
When the sun went down and the sky gradually darkened, the trees began to change, and the branches and leaves hanging like wicker had a lot of fist-sized fruits, exuding a gentle red light, although each one was not too bright, but under the small number of people, the surrounding was illuminated as if it were day, and the road was clearly visible.
Fluorescent trees, evergreen all year round, can grow well even in high temperature or cold environments, mature after three years, and produce fruits that can absorb the sun's rays during the day, and emit a non-dazzling red light at night, which is dreamlike and beautiful under the reflection.
However, although this 'fluorescent tree' is easy to plant, it requires a kind of rock mine with a higher price than gold to be buried at the root of the tree at a fixed time, and the maintenance cost of each tree is about ten gold guilders per year, which is expensive.
Therefore, those who are not really powerful cannot afford to raise them.
And here, the 'fluorescent tree' is not used as a street lamp, and on both sides of the road, I don't know how many are planted, and I don't know how much wealth is consumed every year.
The wide road stretches up until the end is a huge arch, and after entering the arch, there are luxurious small manors, garden-style houses, green carpets, tall leather sculptures, and even street lamps decorated with magic stones, exquisite and luxurious, as if they have arrived in another world.
This is the Trainer's residence, one of the most luxurious architectural areas on the island.
The carriage carrying Kotos went straight down the avenue until it stopped in front of a house with a statue of Campas, the orc god of war, and was greeted by a waiter who brought Kotos inside.
Walking up the spiraling stairs, Kotos walked to a room on the top floor, wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, exhaled lightly, and adjusted his mood slightly before knocking on the door.
Knock! Knock!
"Come in!" a gentle voice came from the room.
Opening the door, Kotos stepped into the room, feeling as if he had entered a fantasy space.
The room is full of all kinds of books, but they are strangely suspended in mid-air, rising and falling with the turquoise power like a wave, as if in the middle of the blue sea, there is no seawater, and it is not humid, but it seems to be able to smell the smell of the sea.
Even though he had seen it many times, Kotos was still a little shocked, with envy and anticipation in his eyes that could not be concealed, and of course, a trace of jealousy that he was not aware of.
In the center of the room, a young man sat on a high-backed chair, holding a book in his hand and looking at it carefully, from this angle, only a side face, but the angular face, the flying eyebrows, and the deep blue eyes seemed to be the most perfect sculpture under the master carver.
As if he saw happiness in the book, the corners of his mouth pulled up a slight smile, and the charm of that moment seemed to make men lose their minds.
The same upturned pointed ears and unconcealed fox tail show that he is also a fox clan, but this can't hide his peerless elegance, and even, because of these differences, in addition to being handsome, there is also a little demon.
"Brother, I'm coming. Kotos approached and spoke softly, revealing his identity, the king of the Kitsunes, the head of the Fawkes family, and the extraordinary tidal warrior known as the 'Great Waves of the Sea', Hill Fawkes.
Of course, in the Academy, his strength is definitely not as famous as his perfect appearance, and countless female students are willing to spend a lot of gold shields to take his courses, half of which is for skill learning, and the other half is to meet him, who is known as the 'first beautiful man in the Academy'.
There are rumors that there are countless crazy women who are willing to spend the night with him, even including the queen of a certain country and a powerful witch in the forbidden land, but Hill is a clean person, and there have been no scandals so far.
In addition to this, he was also a rare wise man, who read countless books in his life and was a veritable polymath. The best thing is the identification of ancient objects, no matter how rare things are, as long as they are in his hands, they can tell you one, two, three, four, five.
And on the list of tasks of the academy all the year round is his book search task, as long as he can provide books that he has never seen and valuable, there will be a huge income, if it is some lost genuine products that he needs, he can even get his personal reward.
Without replying, Hill raised his hand, and after making a forbidden movement with his slender fingers in midair, he continued to indulge in the book, and a trace of impatience flashed on Kotos's face, but he had to stand still respectfully.
After a long time, after finally reading the last page, Hill finally closed the book, and slowly raised his head, with his movements, the endless turquoise ocean-like power began to converge, and the floating books fell steadily, not scattered, but neatly stacked.
When he raised his head, he showed the handsome face that had made countless women crazy, and he said with a gentle smile: "Kotos, we're done talking! What did the old cookie tell you?"
"Brought a drink I haven't seen before, and want to work with us......" Kotos explained the matter in a few words, of course, the point is how unreasonable and domineering the cookie is.
"Looks like you have a problem with old cookies?"
"How dare I?! He's a shadow walker, how can I afford to mess with him! However, the liquor business is our family's biggest source of income, and it's not too easy for him to want to get involved in a word. ”
"Looks like you don't agree with it?!" asked Ciel, smiling.
Kotos seemed to be a little cringe under Hill's smile, but he still tried his best to say: "Thirty percent, just give us thirty percent, and we want to produce, and we want to sell, just give us thirty percent of the income, and he himself doesn't do anything, and he receives sixty percent for providing technology, I just feel that we are losing too much." ”
"The problem is not seen this way, if he doesn't provide technical support, it's not even these thirty percent. Still, it seems like you're optimistic about the kind of drink he offers called 'snow burning'?"
"That wine is pure and strong enough, and if we really make it, it will definitely make money. Moreover, I am confident that if I had it, I would be able to crush our old rivals and dominate the liquor market in the entire Diogue area. ”
Although the Fox family is the largest wine supplier in the Black and White City and the Academy, it is definitely not the only one, and there are also several old rivals competing with him.
"With such a high evaluation, do you want to monopolize the benefits of this drink?
"I've heard that Old Cookie was badly injured in World War I a long time ago, otherwise it wouldn't have been so peaceful for so many years. I don't know if it's true?"
Ciel's eyes suddenly deepened, like a bottomless pool. He asked, "Do you mean you want me to try him?" (To be continued.) )
