Jixia Restaurant.

In a private room on the third floor.

A steaming pot sits on a small stove that is spitting in flames. A large rotating table is filled with dishes.

The two men sat down, and neither of them spoke.

For a while, except for the flames rising and the water bubbles surging, the whole private room was quiet and a little depressing.

Green poured a plate of slices of meat into the water, and the water fell silent, but in a moment it began to bubble again, and it seemed to be boiling again. Green turned down the heat a little.

Refill yourself and Cage with a bowl of wine.

"Let's talk about it. What's wrong? The sky hasn't fallen, the sky is still this day, the earth hasn't fallen, and the earth is still here. As long as people live, there is hope, not to say that people will win the sky, at least it is the road to the sky. ”

Who knew that after listening to Green's words, Cage, who had been silent before, suddenly burst into tears.

"If the people are gone, the people are gone, and the people are gone......"

looked at the lively and cheerful little fat man who was like a pistachio, shameless and confident. Now except for the face that is still a little baby fat round, other places have been thinned, and the spirit is also declining, except for fatigue is exhaustion, I can't see a trace of the confidence and sunshine that I once had.

Green knew that there should have been a big incident of destroying the family and destroying the clan, otherwise it would not have made a noble young master so depressed.

Green clearly remembers that the little fat man Cage was a very lively, sunny, cheeky, and sociable person. A person who is very talented but does not study seriously and wants to be a big businessman.

He said that he practiced magic to live a long life, and entered the Alchemy Academy to find business opportunities and make a fortune.

Green joined the academy as a super-talent, which in Cage's opinion is a potential stock, and this is a golden thigh. So Cage saddled his horse and circled around Green.

In fact, after Green just joined the academy as a peerless genius, many people came to Green to get close to the relationship, which made Green very annoyed. And one of the amazing things about Cage is that he always makes you feel less annoying.

And when Green first came to the academy, he was unfamiliar with the place, and it was very heartwarming to have someone to help him before and after the saddle. So the two of them knew each other.

And Cage suddenly disappeared more than half a year ago, when Green only thought that his indifference and non-response made Cage give up investing in himself.

Now it seems that something else has changed.

The Issa family, although not a big family, was also a nobleman with a fief. If it's not a big family, it's in the imperial capital, and you can look at the whole country. If you put it in any province or city, it will be a behemoth.

So as to why such a behemoth was gone, Green was also curious.

"Three years ago, the Meilan family, which is adjacent to our family territory, began to reduce the family's power because of the heavy losses in business. So their family sold us a fief adjacent to our family fief. ”

"There's a low-yielding demonite in their fiefdom, and although it's not high, it's pretty good. ”

On the basis of asking someone to do many evaluations and thinking that it was profitable, the family still repeatedly lowered the price, but the Meilan family finally had to accept it. ”

"The family has taken a big advantage, and they are naturally happy. Soon a large number of personnel were sent to the mines. ”

"In the past three years, the family has made a lot of money. But he also made a lot of money, relying on magic iron, expanding the family's business network and expanding the family's influence. ”

"Everything is thriving, and everything is going for the better. ”

And that's not all. The family was pleasantly surprised to find that there was actually a magic crystal mine in the lower layer of the magic iron mine. ”

Green knew that the magic crystal mine was strictly forbidden by the people in the Magnolia Empire, but in fact, all countries on the continent did. found out that it was a great crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family. After all, the Magic Crystal Mine is not only wealth, but also a strategic resource.

But in this world where great power is concentrated in individuals, some really powerful big families have found it in their own territory, and they will be mined, and it will be enough to make a fortune in a muffled voice. The royal family turned a blind eye.

But the Issa family, the Merlin family is obviously not the kind of family that can make the empire make concessions.

Since there is a family that can make concessions to the empire, there are people who dare to play the side ball.

The Issa reached out.

However, the Issa family had just knocked on the surface, and before they had mined much, they found that the bottom had been mined out.

By the time the Issa family realized that something was wrong, it was too late. The Imperial Law Enforcement Team arrives suddenly, takes control of the main members of the Issa family, and seizes the shops.

It turned out that the empire had received a report that the Issa family had mined the magic crystal mine without permission.

Although the Issa family felt very wronged and wronged, the evidence was conclusive and could not be quibbled.

The Issa family felt that they had been cheated by the Merlan family, and they were definitely unwilling to let them go like this, so they dragged them in.

In fact, even if the Issa family doesn't report it, let alone say it, the Meilan family is also the object of suspicion.

And at this time, a piece of news was revealed - an iron-backed lizard demon pet of the Meilan family had advanced to a holy beast.

So after a brief investigation, it was concluded that the Issa family was mining the magic crystal mine privately, and the Meilan family did not know about the magic crystal mine.

The latter results can be imagined. People who are engaged in various fields of the Isa family have been detained. The Issa family had all their property confiscated. The main members of the family were beheaded.

Cage survived with the guarantee of his mentor. But also deprived of nobility.

Cage soon dropped out of school after a huge blow and left Ryan's Academy of Alchemy.

And the Merlin family, after the fall of the Issa family, quickly accepted the business network of the Isa family.

At this time, anyone with a little bit of knowledge of the situation knows that this is a conspiracy of the Meilan family.

When the Merlin family was mining magic iron ore, they accidentally discovered a magic crystal ore. So while secretly mining, he fed the ironback lizards with the mined magic crystals. Maybe he also bought a magic core, or even a sanctuary magic core. In short, the Meilan family used resources to pile up a holy beast.

And although the Meilan family, which has a holy beast-level demon pet, is not as good as the family with a saint-level powerhouse, it is not an ordinary force, and it has the potential of super power, and it does not match the previous fiefdom, economy, and status.

The Merlan family needs to expand, and the Magic Crystal Mine needs to give an account to the empire.

So after mining the magic crystal ore, he found a scapegoat. The Merlin family pretended to lose money in their business and sold the fief to the Issa family.

Then the business began to infiltrate the Isa family. When it's almost over, report it secretly in due course.

Pushed out the Issa family as a scapegoat. The empire needs a step down, and the assets of the Issa family are compensation for the empire.

And because the Meilan family had been prepared, when the other forces did not react, they successfully accepted many forces of the Issa family, and the business network.
