Chapter 4 Are You Kidding Me?

After leaving Viscount Resos' private estate, Kompany couldn't help but tug at Joshuaan.

"Why don't you have the approval of the Kingdom Council, why do you want me to come with you to see the mayor?" Kompany grumbled with a look on his face. "I was so nervous I couldn't hold it anymore. ”

"Can't hold it back?" Joxiuan was slightly stunned, glanced at Kompany's lower body, and pursed his lips and laughed. "Brother-in-law, there will be many opportunities for you to get along with Viscount Resos in the future, and it is better to get used to talking to him as an equal as today. ”

"Ah, why?" Kompany was stunned.

"Hmm...... Come, brother-in-law, let's talk somewhere else. ”

Joshua invited Kompany into the magic car that had brought him with him, and drove to a stop by a river far away from Viscount Resos' private estate.

After getting out of the car, Joshua took out a cardboard box from his arms, opened the cardboard box, and took out a white strip as slender as a finger from inside, which was also wrapped in tissue paper, and handed it to Kompany.

"What is this?" Kompany took it curiously, and he smelled a fresh fragrance seeping out of it, making him feel much more refreshed in an instant.

"This is the new Hanru grass cigarette from the elf clan, don't you think it smells good? Come on, that's how you got it......

Joshua motioned for Kompany to take the thinner end of the cigarette in his mouth, and then took out a small metal box from his bosom, and touched the end of the metal box, and a small flame came out of it.

Then he brought the flame close to the other end of the cigarette, and the front end of the cigarette was slightly scorched under the flames.

With a little bit of spark shining in the front end. The fragrance I had just smelled instantly became extremely intense. Let Kompany just sniff it. Then I felt refreshed.

Joshua also took out a dot, then inhaled vigorously, exhaled a long breath, and then looked at Kompany, and then motioned to Kompany: "Take a sip and try it." ”

Kompany stared at the object in his mouth, thought for a moment, and tried to wash it, before feeling a cool breath rush into his mouth. Straight down the throat.

"Ahem, ahemβ€”"

Kompany was caught off guard and choked so hard that he coughed loudly.

Joshua laughed and patted Kompany on the back to help calm his breath.

"Brother-in-law, this thing can't be rushed, take your time, take your time. ”

Kompany coughed for a while, and then finally relented and looked at the cigarette in his hand. Take a gentle sip.

This time, because of mental preparation, the cool breath did not suddenly rush into the trachea. Instead, it seeped in a little bit, and then he felt the coolness coming out of the trachea, penetrating into every part of his body, making his whole body feel loose.

"That's a good thing!" Kompany exclaimed. "Joxiu'an, this must be very expensive, right?"

"It's not too expensive. This is a pack of twenty sticks, and I take the wholesale price, a pack of thirty silver coins. ”

"Thirty silver coins?" Kompany was taken aback, and was immediately overwhelmed by his breath, and couldn't help but cough vigorously again. "Ahem...... Ahem...... This...... So expensive? If that's the case, isn't this one the root of it...... A pack of thirty silver coins, twenty ...... A ......"

"It's just a silver coin and a half, and it's fine. Joxiuan smiled.

"Hmm...... One and a half silver coins ......" Kompany stared at the Hanrucao cigarette in his hand for a while, then turned to look at the magic car parked behind the two, pondered for a moment, and suddenly took out the Hanrucao cigarette that had already burned a small part in his mouth, threw it on the ground, and stomped it out with his foot.

Seeing his movements, Joxiu couldn't help but be stunned.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing here? It's a good thing, it's hard to buy even if you have money. ”

"I know he's a good thing, but ......" Kompany shook his head, took a deep breath, and looked calm. "This thing is so good, I'm afraid I can't help but want it after sucking one. It's too expensive for me to afford. ”

Joxiu An's eyes glanced up and down at Kompany, patted Kompany's shoulder lightly, pointed to the river, and said, "Let's go, brother-in-law, let's go over there and sit down and have a good chat." ”

Somewhat surprised, Kompany followed Joshua to the river and sat down.

Joxiu An pondered for a moment and said, "Brother-in-law, do you know what the purpose of my visit this time is?"

Kompany smiled, "I know, you're here mainly for what you said when you met the mayor just now, right? In comparison, coming back to visit relatives is probably just a passing. ”

"Hmm...... That's not a bad idea. But in fact, if it weren't for Winnie's relationship, I wouldn't have made this town my first target, so I can't actually say that it's a passing. Joshua paused, and reached out to the magic car parked on the side of the road in the distance. "Brother-in-law, do you want a magic car?"

Kompany was stunned: "Magic car? no, no, no, this thing costs thousands of gold coins, right? How can I afford it?" ”

"Just because you can't afford it now doesn't mean you won't be able to afford it in the future. Brother-in-law, are you so willing to stay in that factory as an ordinary worker forever?" asked Yoo Xiu'an again.

Kompany was silent for a moment, then smiled wryly.

"I don't want to, but what can I do? I don't even know a few words, and I can't get the senior technician certificate if I want to, so what can I do if I don't want to be an ordinary worker?"

"That's why I was the first to mention the establishment of a school when I talked to Viscount Resus about infrastructure promotion. Joxiuan turned his head to look in the southwest direction, with a hint of admiration in his expression. "The elder has put forward the idea that talent is greater than one qiΔ“ ten years ago, but it is only in the last two years that we stupid people have really understood the meaning of this sentence. ”

Kompany was a little surprised in his heart, thinking that even when he faced the town chief, he still showed a very indifferent expression, and even faintly had a hint of superiority, which showed that he should be an extremely proud person in his heart.

However, when he talked about the elder now, he unabashedly showed such an expression of admiration.

"That...... The president of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is called Xu Yi, right? He's a great person?"

"Of course!" Joshua replied immediately with great certainty. "The Elder is the most amazing person I've ever met in my life, not one of them! If nothing else, brother-in-law, don't you even know about the fall of the Levin Ansoko Magister five years ago?"

"I've heard of this before. Kompany hurriedly argued. "But I only heard that Levin Ansoko Magister was killed during the attack on your New Flying Chamber of Commerce, but I don't know exactly what happened. ”

"Uh...... I don't know the details. But if you think about it, the Elder was just a great mage at the time, but he was able to lead the Chamber of Commerce's subordinates to successfully kill a mage, isn't that great enough? In the past few years, the magic industry has been able to develop so quickly across the continent, but it is entirely because of this incident. Otherwise......"

"Oh......" Kompany nodded slightly dazedly.

He was just an ordinary commoner in the Kingdom of Falk who had never been out of the town of Arafat, and he didn't know much about the outside world, and now he was excited to hear what Joshua said, but he really couldn't empathize.

After Joshua said it there, he finally found out, coughed lightly, and stopped continuing.

"Hmm...... In short, there is no doubt that the Elder will be great. The infrastructure promotion department where I am now working was also established by the president himself two years ago, and many people did not understand it at first, but after the trial operation of the Principality of Stanting and the Kingdom of Lampari, everyone realized the importance of the work I am currently engaged in. I have to say, the Elder is really forward-looking......"

Kompany remained dazed.

Yue Xiu'an could only stop helplessly, thought about it and said, "Okay, let's not talk about the adult." Brother-in-law, you just said that because you are not educated, it is very difficult for you to take a senior technician certificate now, right?"

Kompany nodded.

"Do you think Hawat and Saya will be like you in the future?"

"Of course not. Kompany immediately shook his head. "But...... Halva will trouble you enough for you to take Winnie and Winnie to study at the Academy, Sayya's words......"

"If it's just the two of them, that's fine. But my target is not just the two of them, but all the children in the small town of Arafat. If they are properly educated, they will be very useful when they grow up. So my first goal is to build a school in this small town so that all children can get an education. ”

"That's what you just said to the mayor...... Education and training?"

"Heh, primary education is only one part of the infrastructure of education and training. Of course, everything has to start at the beginning, so you can't be wrong with that. ”

"That'...... Does this have anything to do with me?" Kompany asked, gesturing to himself.

"Absolutely. Joshua smiled and patted Kompany on the shoulder. "Brother-in-law, you also want to be able to afford a magic car, don't you? You also want to be able to enjoy Hanrucao cigarettes every day, don't you, and you want your sister and children to have a better life, right? As long as you listen to my arrangement, none of this will be a problem. ”

Kompany scratched his head in confusion, "What the hell do you want me to do?"

"Quite simply, our Chamber of Commerce is about to invest in the construction of a junior college in the small town of Arafat, and you will be responsible for serving as the dean of this college. ”

"Huh?" Kompany stared at Joshuaan. "Are you kidding me?" (to be continued......)
