Chapter 1: The Profiteers
Levi was distressed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
For some reason, lately, there have been some voices that have suddenly sounded in his head, drilling around like needles. Sometimes, the sounds came from the side of the road, like cursing, but when he looked there, all he could see was a clump of weeds. Sometimes, it comes from the underground, "squirming", as if someone is confiding in him, but he only has a "want to find" thought, and they immediately disappear strangely. The further you go, the more frequent and longer the sounds appear. The most recent time was last night, and as soon as he closed his eyes, the sound came, a noisy hum, like two groups of people scolding each other. From start to finish, it lasted three or four hours.
He was so miserable by them that he hadn't slept for several nights.
Holding his head on his hands, Levi tried to keep his heavier eyelids wider. Because of the long-term insomnia, his light gray pupils and eyes were already bloodshot, and the dark circles under his eyes were getting heavier and heavier.
"Lord, Lord......"
After shouting a few times, but not getting a response, Arthur Rollin was a little impatient. He raised his head slightly, and immediately noticed that the blonde young man on the throne had closed his eyes and grinned slightly to the side, and a string of shiny unknown liquid hung from the corner of his mouth.
His face turned cold, he snorted heavily, and shouted loudly: "Lord Lord, I don't know what your opinion is?"
"Opinion, what opinion, who is the lord, who wants an opinion......
Levi opened his eyes as if he had woken up from a dream, and spoke in a panic. But looking at the serious faces of the people around him, he quickly calmed down. After wiping his beard, he sat up straight.
Now he is in a Western-style hall that is not magnificent, but very atmospheric. The hall is very large, with an area of seven or eight hundred square meters, and the whole is made of pure white marble.
His throne is located in the center of the south end, not far behind it is a seven-meter-high white wall.
Standing directly in front of his throne, the first thing he saw when he looked up was the large golden badge embedded in the wall behind him.
The confinement is approximately round, more than four meters in diameter, and is lavishly covered with a layer of glittering gold leaf. Its central pattern, in the background, is a long river that winds through the land. A fleur-shaped shield decorated with a dragon pattern appears directly above the river. In front of the shield, there are two long swords with the hilts facing down and the blades crossed over each other.
Against the backdrop of the badge, Li Wei, who was sitting on a throne covered with white fur, had a bit of the solemnity and aura of a superior person. Now he was sitting in a precarious position, his eyes looking straight ahead, and his momentum was even greater. But witnessing the scene just now, Arthur wanted to sneer a few times. The lack of sleep of the young lord in front of him reminded him of the clown plays in the theater that were sold as a "monkey and crown". Even Andrew, who was standing on the side of Levi's throne, kept shaking his head.
The gray-haired old man glanced at Levi's wet sleeve with his eyes, and couldn't help but feel the urge to burst into tears.
"My lord, I wonder what you think of Mr. Arthur's proposal?" Andrew turned to look at Levi and bowed slightly.
As for the tone of his voice, it was really a little unkind.
Levi only laughed a few times. It is very dishonorable for anyone to fall on such a thing as sleeping in a meeting. "You say yes, that's not because I didn't hear what you said. "He decided to tell the truth. After all, he was now under the influence of uncontrollable forces, and the voices that drilled into his head were not something he wanted to hear.
But he is so direct, many people can't hold their faces.
Arthur snorted coldly, "I didn't expect our lord to be deaf. After that, he swung his long sleeves and tucked his hands behind his waist, and his originally wide waist was now more straight.
However, the next moment, the middle-aged man in brocade clothes saw Levi looking at him strangely.
The light gray eyes that symbolized the blood of the lord clearly revealed an emotion, much like contempt, but mixed with a little pity, and a little sympathy and care.
"I'm not deaf, I'm sure of that. But you must be blind and didn't you see that I was asleep just now. It's strange that I can't hear you while I'm sleeping?
This lord now wants to ask, "Who is this, who dares to be so ruthless in my territory."
His attitude of neither humility nor arrogance surprised Andrew on the side. As the chief minister of the gray rock lord, the old man in the gray robe hurriedly played a round, "Lord Lord, Mr. Arthur didn't mean that......"
"Then what does he mean?" Levi also waved his sleeves, his face was obviously impatient, "In front of me, he dares to call me deaf, and he doesn't take me as a lord in his eyes." How did his parents teach him? Ask him if he knows a little bit of etiquette that he should know as a human being......
At this moment, Arthur's face was no longer red, but iron-blue. He snorted coldly again, turned his head to look away, and put on a high posture of "lack of vertical and conspiracy".
“...... You see, after saying a few words to him, he is still blowing his beard and glaring, what kind of person is this? Is he a guest? This is my territory, not his. Just kidding, it's not ......"
Levi was even more unceremonious, and his mouth was like a cannon, constantly popping out new things.
Andrew saw that the situation was getting more and more stiff, and hurriedly interjected: "My lord, Mr. Arthur is not here to be a guest. He's here to do business, and we have a business with him, a big, big business. At this moment, the old man felt his heart beat faster and faster. After taking a few breaths, he tried to take a deep breath, "Well, what you just said is really a bit unkind. I advise you to apologize to Mr. Arthur. People are also people with status, and they won't bother with you. After all, you're still young......"
But when Levi heard this, his mood was even worse.
"He's a person with status, I'm not, just kidding! You're being scolded deaf to your face, are you happy? Isn't it just doing business, you tell him, I don't do ......."
However, as soon as these words came out, Arthur, who had skimmed his face, immediately sneered. He turned around and said to Li Wei very unceremoniously: "You can't do this business if you want to do it or not." ”
"You are a dead fat man, and you dare to buy and sell ......"
Andrew saw that Levi was still going to play tricks, and hurriedly explained, "My lord, this business is indeed not impossible, because it has already started." You didn't hear that, I'll explain it to you now. Mr. Arthur once gave your father a large sum of money to establish the Limestone Lord's guard. By the end of the day, it was time to return it, so he came to us......"
"Dare to be in debt is to ask for debts, no wonder he is so arrogant, I thought he was a profiteer who bought and sold by force......"
