Chapter 101: The Shadow of the Southern Capital
readx;? When he connected the Bauhinia coat of arms and bowed to Jerry, the expression on the middle-aged man's face did not have any waves. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
If it weren't for the perverted characters with all kinds of faces that Jerry had seen in the Holy City, he would have really wondered if the other party had a nervous system problem, such as facial paralysis or something......
"Get up. ”
Jerry said lightly.
"Yes. ”
Before standing up, the middle-aged man handed the Bauhinia coat of arms back to Jerry with both hands in the most respectful gesture.
Just looking at his actions, Jerry knew that he was right, as a chamber of commerce founded by Catherine himself, even in such a small border town, even if the scale is still too small to be noticed, the person in charge of the chamber of commerce must not be an idle person.
"Tell me what's going on. ”
"Yes, adults can call their subordinates rats. ”
"Mouse?"
Jerry was stunned, what kind of name is this.
But the other party obviously didn't dare to lie in front of him, which means that this one is really named Mouse.
"Well, you say. ”
Jerry still couldn't name the mouse, which was too awkward in the lingua franca of Mara.
The rat saluted respectfully again and said, "I was sent here from the City of Radiance to form the Chamber of Commerce, and now it is the very beginning stage, and the business scope of the Chamber of Commerce is ......."
Jerry soon discovered what the mouse's strengths were, his facial paralysis attribute might be one but certainly not the main thing, his main strength was calmness and the coherent clarity that followed. Even though what he told Jerry was now condensed and condensed, he didn't leave anything to chance.
After just a few moments of listening to him, Jerry figured out the whole story.
Speaking of which, the root of the problem lies with Catherine, from the beginning of her full operation of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce, she has set her goals on two extremes.
The first extreme is the most noble group of people at the top of society, and it is the transformation armor provided by Jerry that opens up this passage.
The second extreme is the most basic things of people's livelihood, grain, cloth, and even winemaking and salt, which are still controlled by the royal family.
And Catherine's requirements for the two are completely different, and the former has only one person to handle, that is, Catherine herself. But the latter was sent out by her in an almost herding manner, and although chapters were arranged in every city, there was no direct connection between these chapters, as if there were countless chambers of commerce with the same name that existed in this world.
Knowing that all the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce has the same owner, only the top person in charge of each chamber of commerce, such as the mouse in front of him, but even he doesn't know who this common owner is.
And before they took office, they were given a death order that unless the time came for the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce to be made public, they had to keep it a secret - even if they were in a great crisis and someone from another Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce was nearby.
Jerry could understand Catherine's intentions, and she didn't want the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce to be killed before it really grew stronger, like her rival, another would-be saint, Anastasia. But she also doesn't want the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce to have a smooth ride with her support, and the so-called growth obtained through that way is just rootless duckweed, which can only provide icing on the cake but cannot become a solid backing that can be relied on.
There may be many chapters that die in the process, but those that grow up in the end will surely condense into a powerful force that no one dares to ignore the moment the veil is lifted......
The intentions were good, but Jerry was not very acceptable.
Like this incident encountered by the rat, he had just come to Reed City, both in terms of resources and manpower were very limited, even if he was personally capable, he could not resist the most practical force, or even just a rogue gang of the level of the Fire Fox.
"If I hadn't happened to be there ......"
Jerry didn't ask the rest of the question, and he didn't need to ask.
If he hadn't arrived, the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce in Reed City would have been one of the ones that died halfway through. Although he was sure that Catherine would have a follow-up arrangement, and that another person might soon arrive here and re-establish the Chamber of Commerce in the name of Bauhinia, the rats and their deaths would only be forgotten.
"It's cruel. ”
Jerry frowned and said to himself, but the mouse showed a smile for the first time: "It's not cruel, it's just a screening, after all, in this world, only the strong can live, isn't it." ”
Jerry was stunned, and for a while he couldn't tell whether the strong man he said was a human being, a chamber of commerce, or both.
The rat thanked Jerry for his help, but at the same time decisively rejected his offer of "help".
Although he couldn't help but feel a little depressed watching the rat walk into the shadows of the woods with the few remaining people, he had a stronger feeling, or rather trust, that the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce in Reed City would definitely grow in the hands of this person, the real kind of growth.
"Done?" said Mungo.
"Hmm. Jerry was still a little distracted, but he quickly adjusted.
He had to admit that part of the reason why he was dissatisfied with Catherine just now was that he had accepted the identity of the owner of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce.
He is one of the owners of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce, and he also accounts for sixty percent of the shares, which is much higher than Catherine. Now any loss that occurs anywhere, even if this kind of loss will not be taken into Catherine's eyes at all, but there is his money in it after all! As a money fan with ideals and rewards, it is difficult for him to be indifferent!
But after talking to the man named Mouse, his emotions have quietly faded.
Mungo pointed to the hill ahead and said to Jerry, "Now that we're done, let's go, it's time for us to talk." ”
Jerry glanced at Mungo, nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Mongo was clearly going there to avoid the others, including the warriors of the Legion of the Lions.
Sure enough, as soon as the two of them stopped, Mongo said a piece of news that Jerry had already guessed partially, but was still shocked when it was confirmed.
"Our meeting this time was just a coincidence, in fact, the third detachment of the Wild Lion Legion led by me was on a combat mission. ”
"Combat mission, what's the target? Uh, I shouldn't have asked that. ”
Jerry was stunned, his first reaction was the war between the Fire and Water Alliance and the Land of Wind, which was close to the border, if it was that war...... It's no surprise that the Legion of Wild Lions will be dispatched.
But Jerry immediately denied this speculation himself, if the war was really imminent, it would not be just a detachment of the Wild Lion Legion dispatched at this moment!
If it weren't for the imminent war, Jerry really couldn't think of any event that would require the Lion Legion to be dispatched in person, unless it was a rebellion, but that was even more unlikely.
However, Jerry did not forget one thing, the Legion of the Temple has strict rules, and no matter what the reason is to dispatch the Wild Lion Legion, it is not something he can inquire about at will.
However, Mongo slapped him and said, "I called you over, of course, to tell you, and this matter has something to do with you." ”
"Does it have anything to do with me?" Jerry frowned slightly, and two blood-colored figures suddenly flashed through his mind, which made him blurt out, "Could it be ...... It's those two evil spirits I met!"
Mungo's eyes sharpened, he looked into the distance and said, "Three small towns near Nandu have been slaughtered, according to the information provided by eyewitnesses, the perpetrators did kiss and reconcile with the evil spirits you mentioned, but not two!"
Mungo paused and said slowly, "It's three!"
