The two-finger-thick black chain was firmly attached to the Dark Demon Dog's barbed ring.

As a monster with enhanced perception.

The demon dog sensed the arrival of the two in advance.

It was only quiet under Ophelia's reassurance.

Seeing her master coming, she immediately got up and saluted Chen Xuan.

"The host..."

Chen Xuan nodded and motioned for her to sit down before speaking.

It had only been more than ten hours before he noticed that Ophelia seemed to be emaciated.

Housework is very torturous.

One can imagine how much pressure she had to endure after killing Harward.

But it's also a problem she can't get around.

Especially when preparing to expand the scale of commerce and trade in the future, it is even more intolerable to the existence of-stirring sticks like Harward.

Plus some of her personal reasons.

Harward must die!

The atmosphere in the private room was a bit dreary.

Chen Xuan took out several cans of orange juice drinks from the storage compartment and divided one can for each.

After taking a sip, he spoke slowly.

"Your stepmother is not simple."

"Behind Harward's actions is her connivance."

"As for your father, I don't know."

"But since he was able to single-handedly create the Colchicum Merchant Group and become the wealthy man of Magdam City, he is certainly not a stupid guy."

Chen Xuan's words were very polite.

He doesn't like to beat around the bush, especially at such junctures.

This more straightforward conversation eased Ophelia's tangle a little.

It wasn't Haward's death that worried her, but the deeply hidden stepmother, Yusula.

From the hysterical words Haward said before his death, to Ursula's reaction when Inageo Sr. conducted an autopsy. You can see that things are not simple.

In addition, the appearance of Mohr green leaves is also very strange.

Ophelia knows the truth.

Moore Greenleaf's hijacking of Harward is just her.

In fact, Harward took the initiative to contact Moor Green Leaf and asked them to send excellent scouts to infiltrate the caravan station in the West District, attack the temporary alchemy workshop, and rob more than twenty demon tears.

There are two key points.

The first is why Harward was able to contact the elusive Moore Greenleaf.

And secondly, how did he get the thugs to work with him in peace?

It's hard to explain the whole story of a simple money-hire relationship, after all, those guys are not a normal mercenary team that collects money and does things.

Based on the above situation, Ursula Walton, a stepmother who often blows wind in her father's ears, surfaced.

After a moment's distraction, she suddenly came back to her senses.

He replied following Chen Xuan's words.

"Master, you're right."

"I suspect Ursula did it, too!"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Ursula Walton, that's her name..."

Ophelia said as she raised an eyebrow.

A look of remembrance appeared on the beautiful delicate face.

"Wait, your words give me ideas."

"Speaking of my father's journey and the rise of the Colchiscus merchant group, we have to mention the Waltons of Ataxus Big City."

"That's Ursula's family, and most people call it the 'Red-Haired Walton' family."

"It was with the support of the Walton family that my father successively opened up a number of franchised trade routes starting from Magdam City, so that the colchicum merchant group could develop rapidly!"

"Before that, before my birth mother died, colchicum was just a small caravan."

"According to my father, he used to personally serve as a bodyguard with his mother, protecting caravans as they went to other towns or settlements."

"My mother is a pure-blood elf and a great Silver Mountain Ranger!"

"My father was a silver-level swordsman with excellent swordsmanship."

The more Ophelia spoke, the more energetic she became, and she immediately recovered a lot of energy.

Memories and self-descriptions are also a form of review.

Chen Xuan didn't bother with the half-elf eldest lady's narration.

He had plenty of time in Naroya, and he wanted to know the story behind it.

"Your father and Ling's biological mother should have a good relationship."

He added aptly.

Again, Ophelia agreed.

"Yes, my father loved her very much."

"But I was very young and didn't know the details."

"Even the image of the mother that has long been blurred in my memory comes from a photo crystal."

"When I was very young, my mother was so sick that not even the Temple Baptism and the Fourth-Order Healing Spell Scroll could cure it."

"Shortly after my mother died, my father met Eusula."

"Then came the red-haired Waltons' support for colchi."

"And after that, the damn Harward was born."

The rest of the stories are more concise and straightforward.

Since Ophelia was still young at the time, many details were learned from her father Ansetus.

And it's all stories that have been pieced together many times.

There are too many key elements missing.

But anyway, after she told it in full.

Chen Xuan also thought that the origin of this Yusula was very strange.

Harward was already disgusting enough, and now there are more vicious stepmothers.

One of these guys is a stumbling block for Chen Xuan.

While trying to start anew, he also has to find a way to solve Yusula.

Even if there is no Ophelia, as long as Chen Xuan wants to develop steadily in this state city, sooner or later he will have a game of interests and collisions with her.

Domination is his highest respect for the other world.

He wasn't going to be just a businessman.

In particular, Chen Xuan knew that he could rely on devouring the Rose Key fragment in the cave to completely solve the threat of the monster cave in the area while strengthening the golden finger.

This is the real dependence of his hope of establishing a secure territory.

So for the city of Magdam, he has ambitions.

Chen Xuan crossed his chin with his hands and asked a key question again.

"What has Ursula been doing all these years?"

"What's her relationship with your father?"

The question gave Ophelia a thoughtful look.

She groaned for a moment before she spoke slowly.

"Ursula's daily itinerary is probably to go to the first circle of Crowned Blue Jay Street for a while."

"It's the most luxurious shopping street in town."

"Sometimes I go to the library on the same floor to spend a few hours at the water clock."

"In addition, it is to ride horses with other noble ladies in the city..."

"Her schedule is relatively fixed."

"As for the relationship between Yusula and my father, I don't know much about it."

"I always feel like they're hiding some secrets from each other."

Ophelia's answer made Chen Xuan thoughtful.

His instincts told him that there must be something strange in this.

He took a long sip of his drink and tapped the table with his palm to bring Ophelia's thoughts back.

"You go back and investigate the matter about Ursula."

"Don't hire scouts, just find a way from inside Axor Manor."

"She has lived on the manor for so many years, and the living room, study, bathroom and even the kitchen will always leave traces."

"In addition, if the caravan in the western district of Colchidiver can no longer be mastered, then we will form our own caravan."

"By the way, how many kroner did these two Naroa days make?"

Chen Xuan talked about business, and at the same time gave Ophelia new inspiration.

When talking about making money, she patted her forehead and took out a cash box about half the size of a shoebox from the cloth bag behind her.

When I opened the cash box, there were forty or fifty dark gold coins, dozens of Mithril coins, and a small number of black iron coins.

She had already gone to the currency exchange bank in advance to exchange for a larger amount of currency that was more convenient to carry.

"Master, this is the net profit of the last two Naroa days."

"Except for the twenty-three demon tears that Mohr Green Leaf snatched."

"The remaining eighty-five Devil's Tears were all sold, plus the income from the sparkling sweet water and the bicycle."

"After deducting taxes and caravan sharing, the net income was 49,405 crowns."

"There is also a reward of 10,710 crowns for the green leaves of Moore advanced by the town hall."

"The total is: 60,115 kroons"

Counting the rest of the previous and the more than 30,000 kroner collected from Moore Green Leaf, Chen Xuan had a capital of nearly 120,000 kroner in his hand.

That's enough money for him to do a lot of things.

Including the collection of magic skills and the magic hedron that records the magic of various elementals, it costs money.

And the current money is only the proceeds of his two rounds of limited trade.

If he builds his own caravan and ships freely, he will definitely make a lot of money.

If it's a big deal, give Demon Tears a nine-percent discount, which can completely let those cross-city traveling merchants grab their heads.

Ophelia respectfully placed the cash box in front of Chen Xuan,

She was wearing a slim-fitting ranger suit, and she was in a private room, and she didn't wear a hood.

Therefore, the tight waist and two large melons are changing with the ups and downs of each movement.

Chen Xuan looked at Ophelia with admiration as he took out twenty dark gold coins from the cash box.

"You keep this money and use it to prepare the caravan."

"You can offer double the salary and poach all the great people you know!"

"The faster you move, the better, I still have a lot of magic tears to shoot!"

Seeing that Ophelia had only taken five of the dark gold coins, she said very calmly.

"Master, I also made a lot of money in these two agents."

"Five more dark gold coins will be enough to complete the formation of the caravan."

"Personnel are only part of the preparation..."

"Drivers, horses, and garrisons all have to be extra prepared."

"By the way, master, I have a few things to report to you."

Ophelia returned to her original focused appearance, and asked for instructions with a focused expression.

Chen Xuan played with the remaining dark gold coins and nodded casually for her to continue.

At this time, a dark gold coin suddenly slipped out of his hand.

"Ding!"

With a crisp thud, it landed on the ground.

Ophelia, who was standing beside him, bent down without thinking about it, trying to pick up the coin.

The angle happened to be facing Chen Xuan.

The skin of the half-elf has a clear texture.

To sum up, it is "thin" and "transparent".

Less bound by the conservative animal trainer hunting suit.

Chen Xuan saw the real turbulence

Up close, it's clearly visible.

Rebecca, the kitten lady sitting on the other side of him, let out a faint "meow purr".

It's like a kitten purring when it wakes up.

In this way, it is a small expression of the vinegar in her heart.

But the episode ended quickly.

Ophelia, who has a bold and lively personality in her bones, didn't care about this situation.

Maybe it's because she's not guarding against Chen Xuan and the little cat girl.

Or personality influences.

Who knows?

Ophelia picked up the dark gold coin and gently tossed it back into the cash box.

He also stroked a handful of loose blonde hair.

After organizing the language a little, he continued.

"The first thing is a ritual probe commission for the monster cave."

"The price of 1,000 kroner is only enough to issue two commissions for Bronze adventurers."

"So I added an additional 1,000 crowns and issued a total of four commissions for different caves around Magdam."

"According to what I asked about the Adventurer's Guild a time ago, three commissions have gathered the number of people and officially set off, and it is expected that the results will be obtained as soon as the next Naroa Day."

"The second thing is that in the early morning, a dwarven blacksmith from the city's blacksmith guild sought to be met by the head of the caravan station in the West Side, and I happened to be there."

"His name is Jensen Ironforge and he wears the insignia of a third-order blacksmith."

"Without saying a word, I bought the backlog of three bikes."

"And said that there will be a big order in the future."

"The Magdam Blacksmiths' Guild is interested in purchasing at least three hundred bicycles from us!"

"I agreed with him that the three Naroas would meet at the Association in the future."

"He'll give me an accurate answer then."

"In the end, it's the firewood that drives the production of little sweet water... Diesel generators have stopped running due to a lack of strange-smelling fuel, and there are still a lot of sweet water syrups and gas tanks left. ”

Chen Xuan was quite satisfied with the half-elf lady's ability to do things.

She is even willing to pay for things, and she is very conscious of being a slave.

It's not so much a servility, but rather the ability in her bones that makes her always strive for perfection when doing things.

Nature cannot be taken away, nature cannot be bullied.

The entrusted thing is actually a supplementary measure to the information of the demonic disaster.

After Chen Xuan settled the matter of building his own caravan in the city and improved his strength through cultivation, he would personally go to the Eya Forest to find out if the cave that the succubus said was really secretly sacrificing his hidden strength.

On the contrary, he was a little surprised by the last blacksmiths' association's intention to purchase bicycles.

I didn't expect that the most knowledgeable person was actually a peer in another world?

If the other party really intends to purchase in large quantities, he is very willing to ship.

Regardless of whether the Blacksmiths Association has other channels, Chen Xuan will make a steady profit and not lose money according to the price of wholesale.

With hundreds of two-eight-bar bicycles, he can contact the factory directly.

Negotiate remotely through the phone and the Internet, and then make a payment to let the factory take the logistics to transport the bicycle to Tianhai City.

Then you can just find a remote warehouse and receive the goods.

In the case of small sweet water, he is going to sell it as a finished barrel of Coke.

This will save you time and effort.

Practice not only brings out the truth, but also exposes existing problems.

As for the cola blender and diesel generator, you can take it directly back to the small courtyard.

At that time, photovoltaic panels and energy storage power sources will be used to form a power generation system.

Generators are used to form another backup power system.

"Thank you, Ophelia."

"You're a manager with a lot of potential!"

Chen Xuan said sincerely, the performance of the half-elf eldest lady was indeed worthy of his encouragement.

Ophelia blinked.

The eyebrows and eyes are hooked like a crescent moon, and the smile is sweet and sweet.

Nothing soothes the heart more than a heartfelt compliment.

After the business was finished, Chen Xuan took the arms of the two daughters and asked them to sit beside him.

Immediately after, he took out four brand-new Beretta M9 pistols from the storage compartment and put them on the table!
