Book 39 Kou Chi

Zhou Shu beckoned the boss to settle the bill, gave him a few more crescents as a tip, and then asked him about the sick princess.

The boss got a tip and happily told the story of his guests.

"She's a poetess. When it's okay, it's the same as those who don't produce waste, write poems, sing hymns. But I've only heard her sing once, and that time she drank a little too much. Good. ”

Poetry and songs in this world are actually the same thing, and all poems can be sung. The content of the poem is eventful and narrative, and most of them are legendary stories.

The shopkeeper recalled the song sung by the sick princess before, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes. It seems that she has become a fan of the sick princess. He casually took out the letter that the sick princess had just given him from his coat pocket and read it to Zhou Shu.

The letter contains only one poem, the story of a group of travelers who travel through a small kingdom. The Little Kingdom is a canyon to the south of the White Moon Country, and in the valley lies a kingdom made of magic. This is just a legend, that valley is actually the burial place of the brothers and comrades-in-arms of the White Moon Knight King, the Gaogan Cemetery. It is a forbidden area in the country of Hakutsuki.

The poem rhymes vividly in lingua franca, but the storyline and a few words are a little stiff and not very exciting......

"Boss, is it really okay for you to just put other people's beliefs out?" Zhou Shu felt helpless about this philistine boss, he only gave him two more crescent moons, why was he so attentive?

The boss waved his hand, "What's this, the poems are all sung to people." Occasionally, someone would ask the poetess for some poems, and this letter was for those people, and I would give it to them on my behalf. ”

Hearing this, Ula Mystery borrowed the letter from the boss and read it several times. Zhou Shu also felt that the sick princess seemed to be playing something, and he believed that his girlfriend had also seen it and seemed to be looking for her flaws.

Soon, Ula Mystery changed the letter back, and then beckoned Zhou Shu and Midali to leave the hotel to get down to business.

Midali didn't know the true identity of the sick princess, and didn't take this poetess to heart. She first came to the Eagle Killer's Xicheng stronghold, arranged for someone to go to Kou Chi Trading Company to say hello, and made an appointment today for her to meet with President Kou Chi. Then he took the two of them to buy some decent clothes to change into, and prepared for a while. The last bit of the crescent moon in his pocket was left after paying for the new clothes.

"When you helped me pick out my clothes, you must have calculated the money in my pocket, didn't you?

Midali smiled contemptuously at Zhou Shu's groundless accusations, "How do I know how many silver coins you have in your pocket? ”

President Kou Chi is called Yier, and he is the same age as Zhou Shu. He heard that the eldest lady of the falconry man actually wanted to see him, so he happily arranged a decent afternoon tea to attend in formal clothes. It's just that he didn't expect that this eldest lady came to him for the female slave she just got yesterday.

This private tea party was held in the headquarters of the Trading Company in the city center, with a huge spire building surrounding a courtyard of birds and flowers, and President Il looked like a sissy in the sea of flowers deep in the tea cup.

This guy fits in my candy house. Zhou Shu commented after seeing this person. The Book of Summoning retrieves it, and the summoning points are 10,000.

Midali ate each other's set, and was slightly shocked by the appearance of Il, an elven prince. Fortunately, she is no longer a little girl of fifteen or sixteen, and she still remembers that she came to help Zhou Shu, a murderer, save people this time.

Il's request to buy Asuka was rejected by Midali.

"Miss Midali, I'm afraid our first meeting will disappoint you. ”

"Can you give me a reason?" Midali seemed to be very ladylike at this time, as if she were a lady of a jazz family, rather than a mercenary leader.

With an embarrassed face, Il called one of his young butlers to say something in his ear. The housekeeper said yes after hearing this, and then invited Zhou Shu and the three of them to a richly decorated room in the building, and invited the three of them to sit down in front of the sofa.

Zhou Shu turned his head and asked Midali, "What is this guy going to do when he brings us here?"

Midali: "I don't know, maybe it's some kind of novel eviction order, right?"

Zhou Shu was depressed, "That means the bird is not saved?"

"I've tried my best to help you, and people don't want to sell it. Your friends are now the property of others, and private property is sacrosanct. ”

The two of them chatted with me at a glance, and they didn't pay attention to the young butler at all. The butler brought tea to the two of them and coughed lightly. Zhou Shu and Midali stopped a bit.

The butler bowed deeply to the three of them and said, "There is something about Miss Asuka, and my master has ordered me to explain it to you. Although it is not a secret that these words are related to the reputation of our trading company, they are not suitable for the master to say in person, so I can only do it for me, so I hope you will forgive me. ”

Is there a turning point in the matter of flying birds? Master Zhou was about to give up just now.

Midali was curious. He didn't know much about the Kou Chi Trading Company, and even the name Il was only known today.

"I thought we were going to talk about Miss Asuka. ”

The butler smiled, "It's really related to Miss Asuka." I don't know how much you know about the death of my family's previous president and his wife. ”

Midali shook her head, "I don't know at all. It's good if you have something to say. ”

"In that case, I'll ......," the butler said, "Regarding the death of the previous chairman of our Kochi Trading Company, the cause we announced to the outside was food poisoning. In fact, the real situation has been widely circulated by some talkative people in the garrison department. Our previous president was actually killed by his wife. ”

The wife of the previous president of the Kou Chi Trading Company was the daughter of an earl's family and had a gift for magic, while the president was just an ordinary person and had no title. She married into the Kou Chi Chamber of Commerce in such an capacity, naturally wanting to seek some benefits for the family. However, the previous president was very authoritarian in the management and management of the trading company, and no one was allowed to interfere. The president's wife has been married to a trading company for more than 20 years, and she rarely has the opportunity to use the trading company to subsidize her family.

After so many years, the president's wife has gradually become accustomed to this state, and she is only to blame for being too naΓ―ve and marrying the wrong person. After the New Year last year, the president's wife's family defaulted on a huge debt, and Yan Zhan went to the family to be deprived of all the fiefdom interests. The president's wife asked her husband for help, but was refused. Enraged, the lady drew her sword and killed her husband, then fled in fear.

The little young master Il has seen a lot of his parents' views since he was a child, and he is not surprised that his mother suddenly killed his father. I even think that my mother can endure it until now, and it is really enough to draw a sword against my father, who has a force value of 0.

The tragic marriage of his parents made Il no longer trust women. It is difficult to find true love in his identity, and those women who take the initiative to lean in can only seek his money. The three generations of Kou Chi Trading Company have been passed down to each other, and Yier has no plans to be a bachelor for the rest of his life, he still wants to reproduce and let this business empire continue to prosper. In this world, due to religious beliefs, all God's people must be monogamous, including the king, and only children born to legitimate couples have legal inheritance, and mistresses have no illegitimate children. This is bad news for Il, who doesn't want to get married, and he doesn't want to learn from the White Moon Knight King to adopt a bunch of adopted sons to take over the family business.

Fortunately, this is a slave society, and if there is no hope for free women, you can still look for women who have children among those who have lost their freedom.

If one parent has magical powers, there is a high probability that the child will have magical powers. Il's father is an ordinary person, his mother has some magical powers, and his only son, Il, is very lucky to have a third-level magical talent. So Eir is ready to find an obedient slave woman who also has magical powers to bear children for her.

There is no fairy tale in this world where a slave girl meets a prince. Yir's approach can be said to be a big mistake in the world, and after his heir is born, I am afraid that he will also be criticized by the world.

After hearing what happened, Zhou Shu suddenly realized, "Is your president going to marry Asuka as his wife?" He found this girl in the book of summoning, 1000 summoning points, it does have a certain amount of magic.

The butler smiled, "I don't necessarily marry that young lady, that's why the master asked me to negotiate with you." Tomorrow there will be another slave lady with magical powers in the slave market in the city, and my master said that he would release Miss Asuka if he could welcome her home. ”

Slaves with magical powers are not uncommon, grabbing a handful on the battlefield, but most of them are exchanged for prisoners by the White Moon Army, and rarely enter the market. For Il, who is of marriageable age, Asuka and the young lady are both a rare opportunity.

The young lady who was listed for sale in the slave market tomorrow was very famous, and she was the only princess in the mainland who had died at present. She was originally a princess of a small country, which was overthrown in a riot ten years ago, and was later incorporated into the territory of the White Moon Kingdom. The princess, who was only six years old at the time, was caught and enslaved by slave traders.

The merchants were ready to make her a high-class plaything for the rich and cultivate her. After a decade of long-term investment, the slave traders finally decided to sell it tomorrow on her sixteenth birthday at the largest slave market in the country.

The deceased princess has a long family history, with twelve generations of ancestors all gifted with magical talents. As a result, the baby she gave birth to was almost 100% magical, and was the best person for the wife of the president of the trading company, Il. It was precisely for this reason that this eldest young master came to the Defeated Soldier City.

It's just that he is not the only one who takes a fancy to this lost princess. Although Il felt that his chances of winning were high, he still regarded Asuka as his first alternate for the sake of businessmen. Yesterday he came to the city of defeat from the lantern area, and soon heard about the birds. The eldest young master resolutely did not throw the face of Anil, the youngest son of the commander of the legion, and tore up the transaction contract in front of him.

Zhou Shu and his entourage understood what happened, and they immediately had a good impression of President Yier. Although Urami despised the slave trade, he did not want to let his master get into too much trouble. Since this president seems to be a very good young man, it seems that Asuka can have this home.

However, she didn't believe the butler's words, and wanted to meet Asuka himself and hear her opinion.

The housekeeper said that Miss Asuka was next door to this room. He will entertain the three of them so far, and he has already decided to let the two parties communicate.

Seeing that the other party was so honest, Ula retracted the request just now. "I believe that your host, it is still a little inconvenient to meet today. I hope you don't tell her anything about us. ”

The housekeeper didn't understand what this woman wanted to do, but he still agreed.

Ula just felt that it was troublesome to meet Asuka, and she could see that the other party was not lying, and that was enough. For the girl, who could almost be said to be a stranger, Ulami felt that she had done her best and didn't need to do anything for her.

Midali is grateful to Ill for refuting the face of the Wings of Light but giving the falcon face, and immediately tells the butler that she wants to thank Il in person. The butler smiled and agreed, and called a small attendant to inform the master.

Among the three, only Zhou Shu felt a little happy. He had nothing to say about Il's character, at least he wasn't in the same league as Arni's soulless character. But after he did this, his rare opportunity to save the United States was one less opportunity. Originally, he had made up his mind to get Arni in the face yesterday, but he ran away. I came to save the bird today, but it turned out that there was nothing wrong with them.

As soon as he thought so, he heard a curse coming from the hallway, as if it was a person muttering something to himself.

I only heard the voice accompanied by the footsteps as I walked and muttered, "Before, foreigners came to ruin my good deeds, and now a mere businessman is also arrogant in front of me. Really, I'm a bully with Wings of Light!"

The owner of this voice is Arni.
