In fact, before this, Reg had already heard the slight footsteps in the hallway, but the almost undetectable footsteps suddenly made his heart beat faster, but in front of Julio, he didn't want to show half of it, and the footsteps were the woman he had missed, and it was the woman Josephine who missed him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Josephine is Julio's own niece, because her parents died in a disaster, she was sent to her uncle's house, she grew up in his family, more than a dozen years younger than Reg, who was already sixteen or seventeen years old at that time, and Josephine was still a little girl of four or five years old, perhaps because of the same experience, Reg treated this little girl as his own sister from the first time he saw her, and Josephine also liked to follow him all day long.
More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, Reg has become Julio's arm, and his cultivation has advanced to the holy rank, and Josephine has also become a slim girl, and the relationship between the two has also undergone subtle changes in the past ten years, but his own background makes Reg dare not go beyond half a step, and he can only bury his feelings deep in his heart.
At this moment, he seemed to see a few years ago, when he was about to leave the mansion, he met Josephine in the back garden, and heard the other party shouting his name, he could only go over hard, and the girl boldly confided in her heart, which suddenly overwhelmed him, and ran away like a frightened beast, but he heard the girl's crying cry in his ears, "I will wait for you, even if it is for a lifetime!"
Now this voice seems to be still echoing in his ears, and the girl is also struggling to keep her original vow, in a few years Julio tried his best to find her a good family, but was blocked by Josephine, Julio of course knows his niece's intentions, a nobleman marries his own retainer, which is absolutely not allowed in Omar, even if this nobleman declines, it will become the laughing stock of the world, so Julio simply used strong means to marry this niece, but in exchange for the niece's death.
A few years passed in a blink of an eye, Josephine had become a twenty-three or four-year-old girl, and women of Omar's age were usually already mothers of several children, but she was still waiting for her sweetheart, watching Josephine go down day by day, and finally Julio made concessions, but at this time the war broke out suddenly, and there was no news of Legg, and some people even said that Reg had died in battle, and Josephine's heart died at that moment.
Today she suddenly heard the maid tell him that Reg had returned to the house, and Josephine could not believe that it was true, and his heart seemed to have awakened from the grave, and was immediately filled with endless joy, and she longed to fly in front of him with wings on her back and throw herself into his arms.
Looking at Reg in a daze, Julio also sighed, then turned around and walked to the small study next to him, and after a while, he took a letter and handed it to Reger, "You are now a baron, although you are only a baron of the principality, but you are fully worthy of my niece in terms of identity, I don't want her to be in my house all the time, even if it is to help me meet her, it can be regarded as helping yourself." β
The feelings buried in his heart suddenly exploded in an instant, the invisible rope that led to a faint pain in his heart, but at this moment it was so easy to disappear, Reg suddenly had a feeling of dizziness, maybe it was happy sadness, his eyes had blurred for a moment, and he could no longer see everything in front of him, and there was only Josephine's sentence in his heart, "I will wait for you, even if it is a lifetime." "It's reverberating gently.
Compared with Julio's helplessness, Sheng Xuan was very happy, and couldn't help but step forward to hold Reg's shoulder, and said softly, "Although you don't want to say it, but I also know your intentions, let's go and meet her, I believe she is a good girl, and you will definitely give her happiness." β
Regg's footsteps moved a few times, and then he didn't hesitate, walked out quickly, the moment he opened the door, he saw Josephine's pale and slightly ruddy face, a few years of bitterness and this year's worries, the girl was tortured, seeing Reg was originally very excited, but she suddenly didn't know what to do, she was at a loss to sort out her clothes, and in a panic, she pulled her hair together, and squeezed out a few words in an almost mosquito-like voice, "Am I ugly?"
But the next moment, when Reg called out Josephine softly, she had already rushed into his arms with wild tears, and the originally slender arm burst out with so much strength, as if she was afraid that the person who suddenly appeared would suddenly disappear again, making Reg feel almost unable to breathe, but from that dead embrace, she felt Josephine's firmness and unyieldingness, and the long-lost happiness turned into tears and rushed freely.
The butler poked his head in a slightly embarrassed way and bowed deeply to Julio, obviously apologizing for failing to stop Josephine, but Julio waved his hand lightly and motioned for him to go down, and the butler hurriedly walked out, and the door closed gently behind him.
The voice outside became weaker, as if two people were crying in a low voice, mixed with the housekeeper's persuasion, and finally couldn't hear it anymore, Sheng Xuan came back to his senses, but saw Julio looking at him, he couldn't help but look at each other silently.
After a while, Julio suddenly smiled, "It is said that the men of the Julio family are too indifferent and lack a trace of warmth, in fact, this is just a misunderstanding of outsiders, maybe the men of our Julio family are not very good at expressing feelings." β
Hearing this, Sheng Xuan also smiled, "Eyes are the window of the soul, maybe your gaze was more indifferent before, but at the beginning, there was a little more warmth in your gaze, and naturally there was a little more warmth." β
"Heyγγγ" Julio sighed, "maybe, maybe I should have done this thing a long time ago, but it has dragged on until now, maybe I am really to blame for all this, but as the Grand Duke of the Duchy, I really can't be so free and easy as Josephine, how happy it is to be able to let go of everything to love." β
After a pause, Julio smiled again, stretched out his hand and motioned for Sheng Xuan to drink tea, and then slowly sat down and continued, "Our topic is far away, in fact, I have already seen from the moment you entered my living room, you are the mastermind of this whole thing, I am right, first of all, I want to show that since it is to buy food for the orcs, I don't think the empire will object, even if I oppose it, I have the ability to convince some people, but the number, It's a time of war, and you should know what food means to the Empire, so you have to come up with a reason that convinces me. β
The conversation went in the other direction entirely, and when Sheng Xuan took out a huge piece of Mithril Ore Rough, Julio's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but that light was only a fleeting moment, and then he shook his head slightly.
Sheng Xuan took out a few sixth-order magic crystals again, which couldn't help but make Julio's heart move even more, and then he said, "Two million catties, the current conditions are already the limit, of course, I won't let you suffer, I will make up for the excess with gold coins." β
"I don't want gold, just food, and if I can provide you and Omar with weapons, I don't know how much food I can get, such as dwarven swords, swords, and orcs bows and arrows. Sheng Xuan's words were not said indiscriminately, when the other party saw that Mithril and the magic crystal were not impressed, he suddenly realized that there must be something more attractive to him, so he tentatively said this sentence, but Julio was completely moved.
But his gaze at Sheng Xuan was even sharper, as if he wanted to see everything he wanted to know from his face, but all he saw was a face smiling at him, and finally Julio's gaze softened, and his tone softened, " You said this to my vital point, it seems that I have to agree, to be honest, I am indeed facing a big problem now, the war between the Empire and Calais has entered a white heat, and the attrition has suddenly intensified, I have sent 500,000 troops, but the Empire has asked me to add another 200,000, and we have to prepare our own weapons, even if all the craftsmen in my territory work day and night, they will not be able to complete such a number, not to mention that I cannot let my own people face the strong Calais with shoddy weapons, and the weapons and armor are excellent, which is even worse, the time is only three months, and in three months I will send out 200,000 fully armed elite soldiersI don't know how much you can help me out?"
"200,000 sets, three months. Sheng Xuan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this number, he didn't know if the orcs had the ability to build it, so he had already thrown out this temptation, he originally thought that 10,000 sets could be exchanged for enough food, but he didn't expect the other party to open his mouth to be 200,000.
Finally, Sheng Xuan shook his head silently, "I can't take all the 200,000, but I can guarantee to try my best to catch up, as for the number, it will definitely not be less than 50,000." As soon as these words came out, Julio's eyes lit up, and he stood up suddenly, shouted a few words in a row, and paced around unconsciously, "Okay, okay, 50,000 sets, although it is less than I expected, but it is enough," suddenly stopped and thought for a while, "If I only put you in charge of weapons, can you guarantee 100,000?"
