After a few days of recuperation, Joan finally returned to her original state.
"It's been a nice day, Skeleton. Joan said, leaning against the window frame.
"Yes, Miss Joan. As she walked to the door to leave, she said speechlessly, "You've been in too much danger these days! ”
In the past few days, Joan has completely ignored her bad state, and has been working hard to develop magic weapons. This also led to her frequent mistakes, and on several occasions she almost blew up the skeleton.
"Ah, don't be afraid, I feel good about myself right now, so you don't have to worry. Joan said with a smile.
"What you say is not very reliable in normal circumstances. The skeleton whispered, but found a place to sit down.
Joan has been going to work at night these days, and has been studying magic weapons at the Skeleton's house during the day.
"Are your current employees slaves?" asked Joan, carving the artifact.
"Ah, almost...... It's just that I've kicked out all the men, after all, I don't like men, and you know, women are not treated well in this country. ”
"So now your men are women's soldiers?" Joan asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, but I didn't treat them badly. "In the two months since you left Bannan, I have married one more. ”
"Married one?" said Joan in surprise when she heard this, "If the other party knows that the woman is a slave, then can he still ask for it so quickly?"
"It's not. The skeleton waved his hand and said, "The child and the man were originally childhood sweethearts, and the two of them also made a private agreement for life, but the woman was directly locked up and reduced to slavery because of some trivial matters." It was only through many efforts that the man learned that the woman was with me...... Don't say it, the man who said 'Not a monster?' when he saw me really laughed at me!"
"Well, it seems that I can only wish her happiness. As she spoke, Joan put her mind back on the development of the magic weapon.
"Hmm...... How to say it, I always feel that you are quite sunny now. He said, holding his cheeks.
"Huh?"
"Well, if you had heard such a topic before, you would have said, 'Huh, Terrans? That woman was treated as a slave because of a trivial matter?!Ridiculous, the poor person must have something to hate, that is what she deserves; that man's infatuation? fart is nothing more than greedy for her body. ’”
Listening to the almost full imitation of the skeleton, Joan could only laugh.
Indeed, now Joan can also feel the change in herself - she is more sunny than before, at least better than Jue.
But...... Is that really good?
Joan also had doubts in her mind, because she knew what Jue's definition of herself was. She is the personality collection of the softest part of Jue's heart, the most incompetent and cowardly, which is why Jue locked her outside the central head.
"Alright. Joan closed the lid on the artifact in front of her.
"Oh, I'll see! What's the use of that?" snatched the artifact that Joan had just made, and fiddled with it.
"Bring it. Seeing that the skeleton didn't have a clue about this thing, Qiong took the magic weapon back again, "Look at it!"
With that, Joan put what looked like a bracer on her hand, and adjusted the gear button on the bracer.
I saw a powerful burst of energy from the bracer and form the shape of a sword.
"Wow wow!" exclaimed, "This is just like the 'Hot Gathering and Simulated Cold Weapon' of the Soul Realm!"
"What are you talking about?" said Joan, smiling wryly at the unexplained nouns of the skeleton.
While holding the paper on the table and putting it on the lightsaber in Qiong's hand, he said, "But is this kind of magic weapon really good for the human race? This is an important thing that can change the logistics and supply, and maybe it will break the military balance of Baiyue Continent." ”
After hearing this, Joan put away the lightsaber, then smiled and said, "It's okay, the data in this has been carefully calculated by me, and I have also woken up and adjusted the lifespan of this thing, it's okay, I guess it can be used as a talisman or something." ”
"That's right...... Well, the internal situation in the country is not very stable right now, so using this thing as a talisman should sell well. But how do you sell it safely? You know, some spies are going to pick these things up. And the people on my side are all girls, and there is no one who can fight except me. ”
"Indeed...... It's a problem with human hands......" Joan whispered, "or shall I create a few dolls?"
"Puppetry?"
"No, it's necromancy...... Hmm!"
Just as Joan was about to speak of necromancy, the skeleton suddenly covered her mouth.
"Shhh
"Oh," Joan said, abandoning her hand, "it's fine, I've used it all, and I haven't seen any accidents." ”
"You really can?!"
"Alright, let's not talk about it, I'm going to go out now. With that, Joan was leaving.
"Hey, where are you going?!It's not peaceful in the southern country now, what if something happens to you?...... Ah, although my worries are unwarranted. ”
"Go to the palace and negotiate directly with Lin Fengmian. Joan went to the door and put on the clothes she had gone outside.
"What?!" Hearing this, the skeleton stood up suddenly, and then walked in front of Joan and stopped her, "Are you tired of being alive?!Even if you can do it for the Terrans of the Southern Kingdom, but what about those transcendents and royal races?
What the skeleton said is not unreasonable, after all, Joan went directly to the king of the southern country, and went to find the king as a woman in this patriarchal country, and somewhat looked down on each other. Coupled with Yi Jue's temper, maybe the contradiction will rise to the contradiction between Bannanguo and the Dragon Clan.
When Joan heard this, she pinched her waist and looked at the remains, and she said, "I know that you are worried about me, but you haven't asked anything, how can you make a conclusion?"
"Okay, then you tell me, what are you going to do?"
"I plan to earn money from other industries first, and then get in touch with Lin Fengmian as a big businessman. ”
"Then what are you looking for Lin Fengmian to do now?"
"I want permission from the Chamber of Commerce, this is still the pit I dug myself, isn't it? And if you go directly to Lin Fengmian, you can not only open a certificate faster, but also leave an impression on him, isn't it?"
"Makes sense......"
"Isn't that right," Joan smirked stiffly as she moved the skeleton aside, "it's a shame you've lived so long, and your experience has been in vain." ”
With that, Joan walked out of the room.
Although Joan ostensibly means to start her own business, she still plans to continue to take advantage of the advantages of the skeleton with efficiency as her creed, after all, it is rare for a big businessman to be around, how can it not be used?
But that being said, Joan's ultimate goal is to build a business empire of her own, and her ambition is not as simple as earning three purple gold.
"With my current ability, I can buy and sell by relying on the trade of daily necessities......" Joan looked at the side of the road.
For her future main direction, she has already decided - spices.
With her deep knowledge, Joan knew that there were a lot of great spices that weren't being used, and that was a business opportunity.
Naturally, Joan came to the gate of the royal palace in Bannanguo, and then planned to go inside.
"Stop! The guard said nervously as soon as he saw Joan.
Also, the situation is tense right now, so anyone suspicious could trigger a tragedy, let alone Joan, who is now wearing a hat.
"I'm Joan, and I want to come over to meet His Majesty the King of the Southern Kingdom. Joan said and held up the long hair behind her, "Jue and I are brother and sister. ”
"Silver hair?" the guards were shocked at first when they saw Joan's hair color, but quickly recovered.
"Okay, but can you please go over there and search your body? we have no reason to prove that you are the sister of Lord Jue. The guard said respectfully.
It seems that Jue's influence has spread throughout the palace.
Joan thought as she walked to the side of the hut.
Inside the room was a woman who looked like a doctor.
"Hello, I really didn't expect that someone would dare to enter the palace at this sensitive time. The doctor stretched out his hand to Joan and said, "I'm a doctor here, and I'm in charge of the health of the maids on weekdays, so this time it's a woman's visit, so I'll leave the matter of body search and identity verification to me, so you don't have to worry about groping." ”
Joan looked at the guard behind her, who nodded at the doctor and said, "Please, doctor." ”
With that, he left.
"You may be seated. The doctor pointed to the stool.
Joan sat down on the stool with some stiffness, and then asked, "If it was before, women wouldn't have searched people of the same sex when they entered the palace, right?"
"Well, in the past, it would have been cheaper for those guards. But now that His Majesty has said that men and women should be equal, at least there will be no discrimination between men and women in the palace. The doctor said, "I would have never imagined it before." ”
"You also put a lot of effort into studying medicine when you first started studying, right?"
"I'm not from Bannanguo, so I haven't received much resistance in life, I married a baron-to-be to Bannan. If that's what I've said, all I can say is okay. Okay, without further ado, then I'll verify your identity first, and then search your body, okay?"
Joan nodded.
With the doctor's approval, Joan was taken into the palace by the guards.
I have to say that the atmosphere in the palace is much lighter now than when Jue was still there.
The chatter and laughter of the maids were more lively, and the actions of the executive officers did not look confused. It seems that the disappearance of the auxiliary magistrate has relieved the mental burden of the people in the palace.
That being said, everyone looked at Joan with a look of doubt when they saw her.
Also, it's a bit frustrating to have such a stranger wearing a hat suddenly come in.
After a long period of travel, Joan finally arrived at the door of Lin Fengmian's study.
"Your Majesty, a guest has asked to see you. The guard knocked on the door.
"Guest, I don't remember anyone making a reservation today. Lin Fengmian's voice came from inside the door.
Oh, can you grow to this point in just two months?
Joan heard his growth from Lin Fengmian's confident tone.
Cohen's voice came from inside the door again, and the two seemed to wake up from a brief quarrel. However, after a few seconds, Lin Fengmian still let people open the door.
"See Your Majesty. The guards saluted immediately after seeing Lin Fengmian.
Wow~ Lin Fengmian has really grown up!
Joan stared at Lin Fengmian's eyes, because there was no cowardice in his eyes, replaced by perseverance and responsibility.
"Is this a guest? Lin Fengmian said.
After the guards retreated, Lin Fengmian and Cohen both looked at Joan.
"Who are you? If you know who I am, you should take off your hat and show true respect for me. Lin Fengmian said.
"I'm sorry. Joan said with a smile on her face, taking off her hat.
I really didn't expect that I would be spoken by Lin Fengmian in such a tone.
As soon as Joan took off her hat, Lin Fengmian and Cohen were as dumbfounded as those who saw Joan.
"Who are you?!" Lin Fengmian said, and then he thought for a while before suddenly saying, "What is the relationship between you and Jue?!"
"Good for adults, I'm Jue's sister, named Joan, Joan of agar. Joan said.
Cohen was dumbfounded and said, "This guy has a sister...... This is too terrifying, isn't it! Jue's sister is so beautiful? ”
"Master Cohen is really good at laughing, my brother and I are just normal people. Joan said.
"Ha, the subconscious meaning of speaking is so dragging, you are really Jue's sister. After hearing this, Cohen touched his chin with great interest and said, "No wonder you don't bow to His Majesty the King, and learn from your brother." ”
"Cohen, aren't you surprised that Joan knows your name?" Lin Fengmian said at this time, taking his eyes off Joan's body.
"Ah, this. Cohen looked Joan up and down and said, "If Joan and Jue have the same way of thinking, then she shouldn't be preparing for the battle, and she must have gathered enough information before daring to come...... You're not here to see your former comrades-in-arms who fought with your brother, are you? Tell me, are you in trouble?"
After hearing this, Joan clapped her hands and smiled, "It's worthy of Lord Cohen, and he has already guessed the purpose of my visit." ”
"Tell me upfront, if it's anything dangerous, we'll say no in the nick," Cohen said, holding out his finger.
"Please rest assured that my purpose here is not to cause trouble to you. Rather, the purpose of my visit is to help make the country richer. ”
"Tell me about it. ”
Originally, this sentence should have been said by Lin Fengmian, but Ke En saw that this kid had already looked at Joan stupidly, so he said it instead of him.
"I'm here to get approval from a chamber of commerce, and although I don't want to use my brother's relationship, I don't have to use it in vain, you say yes. With that, Joan gave a sweet smile that was enough to make countless men bend their backs.
At this time, Cohen glanced at Lin Fengmian.
No, how can you be so captivated by a woman?! It seems that you are still far from becoming a real ruler.
"Absolutely. Cohen said, "Jue has a lot of kindness to us, and we will naturally help you with this little favor...... If you want to open a chamber of commerce, can you ask about your business scope?"
"Well, of course. Joan said, "For the time being, I'm going to do the spice business, and I'll talk about the rest slowly." ”
Ha~ Say it slowly...... It seems that you have a lot of ambitions. Yes, it is worthy of being a root of Hejue, they are all hardliners.
Cohen commented on Joan with relish as he planned something else.
"Someone, prepare pen and paper. Cohen said.
Then he called Lin Fengmian, who was in a daze, and said: "This is more or less Jue's sister, what if you give an ordinary certificate, what if you make others bully?" So sign this certificate as your king, I believe that with your protection, you can also change the patriarchal state in society, after all, you gave the certificate to a woman personally, isn't it?"
After listening to Cohen's words, Lin Fengmian nodded thoughtfully, and then personally signed the Chamber of Commerce certificate.
"Don't worry, the people below must be faster than others questioning your proof if there is a king in the market who personally issues the certificate. Cohen said and asked Lin Fengmian to hand over the certificate to Joan. "Also, the patriarchal situation in society is still there, please be careful, lest bad people calculate, you know, it is very dangerous for a beautiful girl like you to survive in society alone. ”
"Ha, thank you so much. But I don't think you have to think of me as weak. With that, Joan departed.
Cohen looked at Joan, who was leaving, and then at Lin Fengmian, who was guilty of spring.
"What do you think of this Joan?" Cohen asked.
“...... It's good-looking, and he's very independent. Lin Fengmian said.
"Aren't you missing a princess, what do you think of having Joan as your princess?" said Cohen.
"This!" Lin Fengmian was first intimidated by Cohen's words, but soon said shyly, "People are so beautiful, there must be a lot of people chasing her......
"Hmph, can you compare to your royal family?, and in charge of the Three Realms, how many countries can be at the same level as the Bannan Kingdom?!" Cohen snorted, "If you can turn Joan into your concubine, you will definitely do that a lot of work." ”
Lin Fengmian looked outside the gate where there was no longer Qiong's figure, and then whispered: "I, I want to marry Qiong......"
