100 years of life, what to do?

Herseus may have been inadvertently agitated, but Allegri was confused.

"Teacher, what you just said makes a lot of sense. As soon as Herseus returned to the magic tower, he hurried to meet him.

"Isn't the old man ready to deal with these stinky boys?" Herseus snorted proudly.

"Are you sure you're going to raise them all to a class in a month?" Allegri wondered.

"They're all beginners or even beginners, what's not to do?" Herseus hovered on the edge of the terrace and sneered, "If any of them really can't be promoted, then I'll use necromancy to help them force them up." ”

"Necromancy?, that kind of thing must have an effect on their bodies, right?" Allegri frowned.

"Not only does it have an impact, but it's even more difficult to advance again," Herseus said with a wave of his hand, indifferent, "but who let them eat, can they still damage my old man's oath for this?"

"This ......," Allegri looked at him helplessly and asked, "Teacher, do you really not have any concept of good and evil?"

"What notion of good and evil? I am good!" Herseus scoffed.

"I want to ask you a question, teacher," Allegri said softly, standing beside him, looking at the stars in the night sky, "what have you done for all?"

"What do you mean?" Herseus turned to look at him.

"You just told them that you will live for a hundred years, and what will you do? So what are you doing for what you're doing?" explains Allegri.

"Now?" Herseus scratched his head, "I'm almost immortal, and what are you talking about a hundred years of life? ”

"Forehead ......" did not find an answer. Allegri reluctantly asked, "What about you before?"

"Of course not," Herseus shook his head slowly, and whispered, "at first it was purely for revenge, and then slowly it couldn't stop anymore." ”

"Can't stop?" Allegri was puzzled.

"If I let you tear down the tower now. Disbanding the mercenary group, would you like to?" Herseus looked at him.

Allegri shook his head.

"Will they be willing, then?" Herseus pointed to the foot of the tower, where the rows of wooden houses not far away had grown a little larger.

"I don't think so......" Allegri shook his head again.

"They don't want to, because they're all in the same car, and you're the driver of this car," Herseus whispered, "and you can control the direction in which the carriage is going, but you can never stop it." Because the road you're on is a downhill road. The more passengers in the carriage, the more and heavier it becomes, and it can only push the carriage at an ever-increasing speed, all the way to the endless abyss. ”

"Strengthen your abilities, my student," Herseus patted him on the shoulder, and the phantom dissipated over his body, "if one day." You can't control this car anymore, so you can only follow it and destroy it together!"

Absent-minded Allegri. After teaching Brooke and Afra, he stood on the terrace in a daze, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking.

As it approached noon, the sun was dazzling, and the valley was full of life, but Allegri felt that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier.

But as Teacher Herseus said. I can't stop at all.

"Teacher, someone is asking to see you. Brooke, who had just stepped down from the tower, went back and forth, and said.

"Who is it?" Allegri frowned as he came to his senses.

"It's the merchant leader of the Torm Federation, who said he wanted to talk to you about cooperation. "Brooke isn't very clear.

Think about it for a moment. Allegri nodded, "You invite him to the hall on the first floor, and I'll go down." ”

Located west of the Empire of Buyada and south of the Misty Swamps, the Torm Merchant Confederation is a commercial country with convenient land and sea transportation. The council, composed of the leaders of the wealthy conglomerates, is its highest governing body. This country that believes in the goddess of commerce, has many good ports near the sea, and the degree of industrial and commercial development is the highest in the entire continent, but it strictly adheres to absolute neutrality, only recognizing wealth, regardless of camp. Even, the country has a pitifully small standing army, and it is precisely because of this that it does not arouse the suspicion of the Holy Alliance. However, as the headquarters of the mercenary union, Tholm relied on a lot of wealth to hire a powerful mercenary force, which also made neighboring countries dare not move lightly, ensuring his own safety.

In the hall, a middle-aged man in his thirties looked around with great interest. Contrary to Allegri's imagination, he was dressed in a simple and refined traveler's attire, with a white face and a slight beard, a tall figure, and black-rimmed glasses with a pinched nose made him even more polite and personable.

"Your Excellency," the man bowed as he saw Allegri slowly descend from the tower, "I have heard for a long time that His Excellency the Count is young and promising, and he is handsome, and today he saw that it was true. ”

"Sir, please be seated," Allegri greeted and said with a smile, "I wonder what Mr. Ludao is called?"

The middle-aged man nodded and sat down, and an old man who looked like a butler beside him stood respectfully beside him. Not to be outdone, Brooke also stood next to Allegri.

"Contemptible Gerang, the young owner of the 'Flywheel' business group. With a gentle smile on his face, Grand introduced himself.

"'Flywheel'?" Allegri smiled slightly, tentatively, "I wonder what happened to the young owner of Lu Dao to my side?"

"I'm here to discuss some cooperation with His Excellency the Earl," said Grand, "and I want to open this new transport line, and to build a transit station nearby." ”

"This kind of thing, would you better go and discuss with His Royal Highness the Grand Duke?" Allegri said with a wave of his hand. He knew that this was not a good thing, the main transportation business of the "Flywheel" merchant group was extremely trafficked, and the taxes that could be obtained were very thin compared to the caravans, but the chances of potential threats were much greater. After all, inspecting goods is significantly more cumbersome and difficult than inspecting passengers in a fleet one by one.

Even, enemy spies can infiltrate the territory of the Snowton Empire through the convoy of "Flywheel". More likely, he would take the opportunity to attack Allegri or the "Path of the Lightlifter", which he could not bear.

A wry smile appeared on Grand's face, and he shook his head and said, "Don't hide it from Your Excellency the Earl, His Royal Highness the Grand Duke doesn't seem to be interested in this cooperation proposal, and I have not been summoned for nearly half a month in the Green River Valley. ”

"Mr. Grand, you won't be ignorant of the trick, right?" Allegri smiled, the young proprietor of the "Flywheel" merchant group could not see such a problem.

"We are also willing to pay the corresponding price, and ask His Excellency the Earl to say a few kind words. Grand smiled awkwardly, put away the bitterness on his face, and directly put out the conditions.

"What conditions, tell me?" Allegri looked at him with a smile.

"Half of all our revenues on this route, except for taxes, are used to supply the principality. Grand straightened his upper body. This is indeed a very good condition, but Allegri knows that it is not so simple. After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

"The opening of this line, for the 'flywheel', I'm afraid it's not just for this part of the income, right?" Allegri continued to smile, looking quite confident.

"Does Your Excellency the Earl also have any research on business operations?" Grand was slightly stunned, he had already inquired, this Violet Count was a very powerful magician, and he had not heard of anything outstanding in other aspects, but he did not expect that now he could directly see the key to it, showing extremely high business acumen.

"What's the ...... I just said it casually," Allegri waved his hand and smiled politely, "Is this half of the income for the Grand Duke?"

"Yes, oh......" Grande thought for a moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he smiled at Allegri, "Of course, if His Excellency the Count can facilitate this, I will give you another twenty percent of the remaining half of the income." ”

"Then you only have 30% of your income left, isn't it too little?" Allegri was also quite impressed.

"To put it mildly, what is this meager income for our merchant group?" Grande chuckled, "but as the largest transportation consortium on the mainland, we must take this route, and it is more of a symbolic meaning than a matter of income." This will also allow us to completely suppress our competitors in terms of transportation and prevent them from breaking our current monopoly with this extremely important route. ”

"Mr. Grand is quite honest," Allegri nodded, "but the Grand Duke's concern for security is far greater than the income that your merchant can give. Whether it's fifty percent or seventy percent, even if you give all your income to the Grand Duke, with my understanding of the Grand Duke, she won't agree. ”

Allegri said clearly, Grand sighed, he had expected the cold reception in the Green River Valley, and came to Allegri with the idea of trying it out, "Your Excellency the Count really has no choice?"

"There is no way. Allegri shook his head categorically.

"That bothers Your Excellency. Grand stood up, bowed his hand, beckoned to his attendants, and took a square tin box from his hand and placed it on the wooden table.

"A little courtesy, not a respect, and please ask His Excellency the Earl Haihan to take his leave. Grand nodded, turned and led his followers away.

Allegri returned the salute casually, staring at the square iron box on the table for a moment, and suddenly greeted, "Brooke, go and get Mr. Grand back, I still have something to say." ”

Brooke nodded, and hurried out of the house, and it wasn't long before Gran, with a puzzled expression, walked in with Brooke.

"What do you mean, Your Excellency?" he wondered.

"Mr. Grand, please be seated," Allegri smiled lightly, "I have a way now, I wonder if Mr. Grande would like to hear it?"

"Of course, Your Excellency the Earl. Surprised and delighted, Grand sat down beside Allegri, his ears pricked up in anticipation.

"I don't know, Mr. Douglan, have you ever heard of VIPs?" said Allegri. (To be continued......)
