Chapter XXVI: Final Arrangements

"Thank you, brother, you usually treat him as a servant, and then give him how to practice swords when you have time. Although this kid is very wild and stubborn, he is not stubborn, and he is also very diligent. Being by your side can also reassure me, and I don't have to worry about this kid anymore. El looked grateful.

Lorist waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hehe, my brother, you're welcome." Besides, I've moved to the college's golden training quarters, and I'm worried about how to take care of it, so you gave me a free servant, and I have to thank you. ”

"By the way, why can't I remember anything else?" After thanking Lorist for his help, El began to try to remember what was the second thing he had done to find Lorlist?

"Well, I'm with Ledos, and the fruit seller Giraud has news that you're back. I was about to come to you, and when Ledos heard that you had returned, he said something? Brother Lauder? Next Block, Congressman Ummonobad, that old man? El couldn't think of anything, so he wandered around the room in a hurry, and finally muttered to himself, finally remembering what was going on.

"Hehe, Brother Locke, did you get back the things I asked you to bring before you went to the Ruins Islands?" El rubbed his hands together and smiled obscenely.

"Well, that Terrance donkey whip, it took a lot of effort to get one, but it was confiscated by old Gal. Your uncle said that your kid didn't practice well during this time, and he was lying on a woman, and he needed this thing to aphrodisiac at a young age, which was really unusual. So he decided that he would keep the thing, and if you wanted to use it, go find him and get it. Lorist faithfully repeated Old Gal's words.

"What? that thing was taken by my uncle?" El jumped to his feet, "Nonsense, the dead old man is messing with me in the back, I'm in good health, I don't need this thing! I'm asking you to get this thing for the sake of public relations for that perverted old man from Ummondbad." Old Issy, who was in the two neighborhoods next to me, didn't want to do it, and I had already agreed with him to take over the management of those two neighborhoods for which he was in charge after the New Year, and now it was decided that the old man like Ummondbad would agree to lobby for us in the city council. ”

Seeing El's angry appearance, Lorist laughed for a while, and asked strangely: "Hey, El, doesn't the city hall stipulate that each community organization cannot be responsible for more than three blocks?

"It was Ledos who came up with the idea, let the Lauder brothers come out, we will have half of the people here, and half of the people left by old Issy, and then set up a community to manage those two blocks. On the surface, there are two families, but in fact they are still one family. Elle said angrily, "Ummonobad, this old fellow is insatiable, and the last time I sent a hundred gold coins, he still refused to say anything to death, but only said that he would do his best to help." Then he talked to me about how the Terrance donkey whip works, and when he came back, Ledos said that this old guy still wants that thing, and you are going to the Ruins Islands to get one. I really hope that this old guy will be able to die on a woman after eating this thing. ”

El only said that he didn't want Ummebad to really die on a woman, then he would have to spend a lot of money on the city council to find a member who could speak for them.

Lorist thought about it and gave El an idea. In fact, he had already inquired when he got the Terence Donkey Whip in the Relic Islands, and that a thin slice was enough to take it overnight, and the length and weight of the stick he got was enough to cut one or two hundred pieces. So Lorist suggested that El slice that thing first, and then customize a batch of beautiful glass bottles, with a dozen pieces of medicinal wine in each bottle, and then take them to give gifts, so that it will be more upscale and beautiful, and the person receiving the gift will have more face. The most important thing is to control the quantity, not to give a Terrance donkey whip to the old guy in Ummonbard as El originally planned, then the old guy will be enough to use for three years, and the next time he asks for his help, the old guy will open his mouth again.

"Yes, I didn't expect it, brother, you are thoughtful. El was very pleased, and Lorlist's words were like opening a new window in front of him, and he immediately drew inferences: "Maybe we can specialize in this business, first send someone to the Ruins Islands, and buy all the Terence donkey whips there, even if it costs two or three times the price, and slice it first after getting it back, and then repackage it before putting it on the market for sale, I believe this is also a profitable business." It's the glass bottles that are a bit of a hassle though. ”

Loris nodded, and the glass bottle that El said was a problem. There are only two kinds of glass products produced in Gelintya, one is green glass, which is a small area of flat glass, lake green, with poor transparency, and can only be used to make window glass, which is not expensive. The other is oil glass, which is very transparent and clear, and is specially used to produce glass test tubes and glassware, such as tea sets, wine sets, cups, plates and bowls, which are very expensive.

Both types of glass are the specialties of the Kingdom of Trimber, a neighbor to the southwest of the Fort Business Alliance, because there is a huge quartz mountain in the Kingdom of Trimber, which is the main ingredient in the production of both types of glass. The recipe for the production of these two glasses is the greatest secret of the Kingdom of Trimber, and it has always been strictly guarded to avoid being stolen. Legend has it that in the era of magical civilization, magicians used magic arrays to produce glassware, and the glassware at that time was incomparably beautiful. It is a pity that the advent of the end of the Dharma era has made all prosperity come to naught.

There was a magician who took great pains to come up with the methods and recipes for the production of green glass and oil glass without relying on magic arrays, and he passed them on to his children. Later, the kingdom of Trimber was founded, and the descendants of the magicians gave the king their ancestral recipes and production methods, and were thus made Grand Dukes. And these two kinds of glass became the specialty of the Kingdom of Trimber.

Lorist has seen two kinds of glass, green glass he thinks that the impurities in the production ingredients have not been cleaned up so turbid and opaque, what makes him strange is that Trimber ** has been producing two kinds of glass for a hundred years, why didn't he think about improving the production process?

As for the oil glass, it is a kind of glass that Lorist has never seen in his previous life, and it looks very similar to those clear glasses, but it has a strange property, that is, the glass itself seems to have an oiliness, and nothing can stick to it. Legend has it that magicians used the properties of oil glass to make huge experimental devices, one is to facilitate the observation of changes in the test process, and the other is to be easy to clean, as long as the experiment is washed with water, no residue can stick to it.

Lorist himself has experimented with various adhesives applied to oil glass test tubes. After a day and a night, the binder has already dried, but you can pick up the oil glass test tube and shake it, and the dry binder on it will fall down like a layer of paper. It really can't stick to the oil glass.

When Lorist designed and decorated the women's boutique clothing store, he was very troubled by this glass, green glass is not applicable, and oil glass does not produce flat glass. In the end, Lorist spent an extra dozen gold coins into a large number of white crystals and asked someone to process them into a flat plate to solve this problem, and the remaining crystal scraps were processed into crystal chandeliers by Lorlist, which was also a double win.

"Now the most common oil glass test tube in the world is a large silver coin, and those beautifully made oil glass tea sets are a set of several gold coins. You can find someone to design the bottle first, go to the Kingdom of Trimber and ask how much it costs to customize one, as long as it doesn't exceed one gold coin. Anyway, you can attribute these to the cost. The more beautiful the outer packaging, the higher the price you sell, and those who buy this thing will feel that it is worth it, and the more expensive it is, the more face-saving. Lorist said to Elle.

"Well, I'm sure it's going to be a good deal when you say that. No, I'll have to go to the tavern at once, lest the dead old man use this thing himself, and the loss will be great." El couldn't hold back any longer, and was ready to go back to the Crow Tavern to get something from Galillando.

Lorist laughed and scolded, "All the, what is old Gal doing with this thing." Don't talk back to your uncle all the time, he's doing it for your own good. Also, I spent eighteen Kingford on this thing, you remember to hand it over. ”

"Well, you probably don't know it, but last month my dead old man uncle proposed to Louise, and Louise said yes. In two months, she will be the proprietress of the Crow Tavern. You said that the dead old man went a few years ago, and it was almost sixty years old before the old trees sprouted, and the dead trees were spring. I don't want to think that he is almost twice as old as Louise, and I owe it to Louise that she is willing. Do you think I can rest assured that thing is in the hands of my dead old man uncle now?" El revealed a big piece of news to Lorlist.

"Is this true?" Lorist sat up straight.

"Of course, everyone already knows, this was a month ago, and they probably forgot to tell you when you just came back. El said.

Lorist was sincerely happy for Sister Louise, and it was a blessing to have a good home. Old Gal is a good man, although he is a little older, but he is a golden swordsman, and his body is much stronger than ordinary people, maybe in a year or two he can add a younger brother or sister to El.

"Looks like I'm going to have to prepare a wedding present for old Gal and Miss Louise. Lorist said.

"There are two months left, you choose slowly, and by the way, help me prepare one, I'm too lazy to bother with that brain, I have a headache when I think about it. El looked at Lorist and said, "I'll go back to the Crow Tavern now, do you want to go with you?"

"No, I'll stay here for the last night. Tomorrow morning you send some wagons to help me carry these books and other things to the Academy. The kid who wants to learn the sword, you can also ask him to come and follow me. ”

"Alright then, I'll go first. El vanished silently, as if he had never been in the room.

As the day began to dawn, the whole city began to wake up from the silence, the sound of cars and horses and the noise slowly joined together, and the city of Morent was once again full of life and vitality.

Lorist sat at his desk all night. He watched the silver moonlight withdraw from the room step by step, watched the twin moons disappear in the sky, watched the brilliant morning glow gather in the sky, and looked at the newborn sun and smiled.

It's a new day and a fresh beginning.

Downstairs came the sound of servants talking and moving, and soon there was a knock on the door.

In came Rina and another maid, who brought Lorist a hearty breakfast, as every morning for those three years.

Rina's eyes were a little swollen and seemed to have cried last night.

Tell the other maid to step down, and Rina will stay here to wait for Lorist.

Lorist felt funny and stared at Rina's red and swollen eyes: "Why don't you rub it without two eggs, it's good to reduce swelling." ”

"I'm fine, I'm just too busy to forget. Rina twisted to keep Lorist from looking at her face.

"Alas......" Lorist stood up, came to the bookshelf, and pulled out a thick tome of books, the cover of which was wrapped in mulberry paper, and the title of the book was written on it, "The Fantastic Journey of the Bengurak Knights", which should be a popular novel about knightly adventures.

Lorist placed the book in front of Rina: "Rina, this book is for you." ”

Rina was stunned, and Lorist smiled: "I know that you, like the eldest lady, don't like to read this kind of novel, thinking that these are all nonsense and cheating money by the author, but if you open this book and look at it, you will be surprised." ”

Rina was suspicious, opened the book, and immediately covered her mouth in shock. The book is full of colorful patterns of women's clothing.

"I painted these all last year, and the eldest lady had seen some of them before, and she wanted to make them and put them on the market, but I stopped them. Because if too many styles are brought to the market together, it is easy to cause confusion and not allow us to control the fashion fashion, which will reduce a lot of revenue. So in the past few years we have only launched more than 100 styles, and your changes are enough to meet the needs of customers. There are also more than 300 new women's clothing patterns, all of which have never appeared. Now I'll give them to you, Rina. ”

"Big, big lady, does she know?" Rina hugged the book like a hot stove, wanting to put it but reluctant to put it.

"She knew, but didn't know I had painted so much. You see this room is in a mess, and your eldest lady did it, and she wants to find these patterns, but she doesn't know that I put them all together and disguise them as a book, and they just put them on the shelf, so she can't find them. Probably thought I hated her, but she didn't ask me for it last night. Lorist smiled a little bitterly.

"Don't mention the next thing to anyone but your father, understand?" Lorist looked into Rina's eyes.

"I, I could.swear......" Rina stammered.

"You tell your father, Knight Somme. I think it's irrational for the Windsor family to throw themselves into the Tilapia family. The eldest lady was bent on marrying into the Tilapia family and becoming a marquise, thinking that this would bring protection to the Windsor family. But if the Tiliffi family has a mind on the Windsor family, then the Windsor family will be cornered. In particular, the eldest lady's sale of the property in the city of Morent is even more self-defeating. Now everyone can't stop it, and they can only pray that the Marquis of Luo Fei is sincere to the eldest lady and has no other purpose. ”

"Yesterday, the eldest lady revealed that the Marquis has a plan to deal a fatal blow to the four lords who encroached on your family's territory, and will compensate the Windsor family for a piece of territory afterwards. And the eldest lady will give that territory to your father and promote him to baron. If things go well, Rina you'll soon be a noble lady. At that time, you have to remind your father that you can give in to the Luo Fei family, and there are two things that you must not agree to. ”

"One is that the young master of Windsor is only eleven years old now, don't let him receive the lord education or knight training provided by the Luo Fei family for him, so as not to have an accident, it is safest to put your father by his side. When the young master is older, he will be sent to Molent City to study, away from the Luo Fei family. The second is that the little young master grows up, and the Luo Fei family is likely to propose marriage, in order to avoid this, you should remind your father to find a suitable person to set up a marriage for the little young master as soon as possible, so as to avoid the interference of the Luo Fei family. ”

"That last point is about you, Rina. You don't want anyone else to know these patterns I gave you, neither the eldest lady nor Susie. This time, the eldest lady decided to go to the royal city of Chigeda to reopen because the Marquis would arrange everything for her. So I'm worried that this Windsor women's boutique will fall into the hands of the Tilapia family. Then you have to rely on the pattern in your hand to make a comeback. If you let people know that you have so many patterns in your hands, I'm afraid you'll be in danger too. So you must not let others know about it, can you?"

Rina nodded nervously and desperately, her little face flushed, and her eyes were hazy again.

"If the Luo Fei family doesn't have any bad intentions, then the clothing store in Wangcheng is still the property of the eldest lady, and you can take a picture every month or two and say that it is your own design. Really, Rina, you have been in charge of the production of women's clothing and the change of details, you are very talented, it is most important to have your own ideas in terms of design, as long as you can become a well-known master of women's clothing design, you will not arouse the suspicion of others if you launch any new styles in the future. ”

Lorist looked out the window: "Well, the carriage carrying things has arrived." It's time for us to say goodbye, too. Do you remember what I just said?"

"Remember, Master Locke. I'll do as you say. ”
