Chapter 1243 47. The Predicament of Prince Charlie

In fact, under the auspices of Alia, this trading firm is still running in an orderly manner.

In addition to the two warehouses storing important materials that were emptied, they looked a little depressed and messy, only the piles of canned luncheon meat and meat floss in the courtyard looked a little unsightly, but in fact these imported products from the Pai Plateau , the sales are not that bad, and there will never be a backlog that cannot be sold. It is also very luxurious for many commoner families to be able to eat a meal of pan-fried luncheon meat or stewed peas with luncheon meat.

Maid Betty transferred several employees from both sides of the textile workshop and the rune board workshop to the trading company, and quickly took over some affairs in the trading company. To the employees in the Wenban workshop, these mountains of goods in the trading house are really nothing. They quickly knocked the canned luncheon meat onto the flatbed trailer, and cleared out the two seats in the yard after a busy afternoon. Mountain.

This efficient labor rhythm made the old employees in the trading firm feel a little overwhelmed, but they persisted without saying a word.

The old employees in the trading firm found out after chatting privately with these employees from the rune workshop in the seventh block that the rune board workshop maintains this kind of intensity of labor almost every day, and there is no Anyone who dares to be lazy, once the manager Murray finds out that anyone is slowing down in the rune board workshop, he will be fired immediately.

Because on the other side of the seventh block, the line of civilians waiting to have such a job can line up from the free market to the clock tower.

Alia and I have been busy until the evening, and finally finalized the list of new employees for the trading firm. In the next period of time, until a suitable new manager is found, Betty will temporarily act as the manager of the firm.

Push open the beautifully carved birch glass windows, let the cool evening breeze blow into the room, and replace the air with a hint of acrid tobacco smell.

Alia was wearing a beautiful court-style dress, her slender waist was pressed against the window sill, she leaned out of the window, and stretched lazily, that kind of charming manner seemed to make the queen of the mountain The sunset glow in my eyes will be eclipsed, and there seems to be a blue lake in those bright eyes. The low-cut dress reveals a large area of ​​fair skin on her. Under my piercing eyes, she looks quite confident and light to me. smile.

I walked behind her, clinging tightly to her plump body, wrapped my hands around that slender waist, put my head between her snowy neck and took a deep breath, the milk was as warm as suet. Her skin smelled of sweet perfume, and her soft embrace was as addictive as a poppy flower. It was a kind of style unique to mature women.

Aliya turned around and put her chin on the top of my head, as if tickled by my kiss, she couldn't help giggling.

Although the ordinary employees in the firm had already left work, and in the empty room, there was only Betty sitting at the desk checking the accounts, but Alia cautiously pulled me away from the window, and she carefully poked her head out to look at the Outside the window, I saw that there was no one in the courtyard of the firm, so I patted my chest lightly, and whispered to me: "Fortunately, no one saw it."

Hearing Alia say this, I also felt guilty. Although Shi Qige turned a blind eye to the love between me and Alia, but if Alia and I were so unscrupulous and open to her If they are intimate in the firm, they are afraid that Qige will be angered.

As Qige's former personal maid, Katerina knew many more people in the imperial capital than the lizard maid Takama. Because of what happened to Qige Trading Company, Katerina decided to go to Qige in the capital. Some close friends in the imperial capital know something about the situation, but they haven't come back from the outside at this time.

I stood in front of the scarlet velvet curtains by the window, and Alia's skin, which had been kissed by me, had a light pink glow. She rested her head on my shoulder and whispered to me: "You It's good to be back!"

The sense of happiness revealed in Alia's words will instantly make people's hearts swell uncontrollably, and it will also make me take a breath to straighten up my slightly thin chest.

She went on to say: "Those clowns were scared and shrank into the shadows. In fact, they could have made this thing more beautiful. It's probably because you came back that they panicked."

I glanced at Betty, who was sitting on the other side of the room, who was immersed in reviewing the accounts, and asked Alia, "Have you found out who bought this batch?"

"..." Aliya's breathing became a little short, and she didn't speak.

"You know who it is, Alicia," I pressed her softly.

Seeing my gaze fixed on her eyes all the time, she was in my arms, and she changed into a more comfortable position before saying: "Prince George and Quentin are behind the scenes, and you are behind the scenes." A few alumni from the Royal Academy of Magic..."

"Little Charlie, Quentin, Ivan, and Diego?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

I didn't care about these people poaching Nick and Brennan before, but I didn't expect that they would extend their claws to Qige's trading house now, but I don't think Ivan and Diego alone will have such a big deal. Great courage, even if Quentin has the support of Duke Ryan behind him, Qige's status as a professor at the Royal Academy of Magic and the scholar status of the Magic Pharmacy Union are not something young nobles like them can easily provoke.

Aliya reached out and took out a thin parchment from her bosom. On this folded parchment, there were two crossed daggers hot-stamped. Behind the dagger was a blurry human face and a pair of Eyes without pupils, this is the common letterhead of the Thieves Guild.

Aliya handed me the letterhead, then stood up straight and straightened my loose long hair, using a black comb to gather up the loose hair again.

She said to me: "The information bought from the Thieves Association said that the manager and those employees in the firm are currently working in the workshop opened by Ivan and Diego. I guess their intention is to worry about you." The following series of retaliatory actions temporarily protected them."

Alia straightened the long dress that had been rumpled from the hug, walked to the delicate sofa in the room and sat down, picked up a bottle of golden cider from the coffee table, poured herself a glass, and drank it down.

Although her alcohol addiction is slowly quitting, she still needs to drink a few glasses every day habitually.

Aliya leaned on the sofa and said to me: "It was the quartermaster from His Royal Highness Prince Charles and a steward of the Busman family who came forward to buy the batch of magic herbs in the business, and there will be a large part of these magic herbs. Make a healing potion and transport it to the Royal Constructed Knights of Ahnquilador."

My eyes shrank slightly, I didn't expect that Prince George would actually do such a tricky thing through His Royal Highness Charlie, it's really stupid.

Seeing that I didn't mean to yell at 'Little Charlie' George, Alia continued: "It is said that although His Royal Highness Prince Charlie has achieved strategic goals in several battles over there, it is said that it is thanks to the cooperation of more than a hundred lords. It was pushed by the army of the Constructed Knights on the battlefield."

"That is to say, they don't have any tactics and strategies at all, and they are fighting the Nacoma on the frontal battlefield of the plane of Ahn'Qirad?" I asked casually.

Alicia nodded to me.

I didn't expect His Royal Highness Prince Charles to be so tough. Isn't he afraid of losing too many manpower, which will affect the trust of those noble lords in him?I suddenly realized that His Royal Highness Prince Charlie's move was really stinky.

It is estimated that he is in a dilemma now!

The five most powerful legions of the Grimm Empire joined forces to seal the connection channel between Li and Hell in the Vala Valley on the plane of Kenda, which seemed to have touched Prince Charlie a lot!
Prince Charlie probably wanted to copy the victory of the Battle of Kenda to the plane of Ahn'Qirad. Unfortunately, at this time, neither the North nor the South Legion made any further moves. The slave hunting operation was withdrawn across the board to the north.

The Southwind Legion commanded by Prince James spent the entire winter recuperating. Prince James was unwilling to send troops to the plane of Ahnquilador. Prince Charles really had nothing to do.

Although the army of the Mo family stationed in the Kenda plane can move freely, but Mo Xiang, the eldest young master of the Mo family, commands the strongest constructed knights of the Mo family. As one of the two youngest generals of the Green Empire, if the Mo family If the young master led the army into the plane of Ahn'Qirad, at least half of the glory of victory would be taken away by the young master of the Mohist family. Obviously, Prince Charlie did not intend to share the glory of victory with others.

What Alia said next confirmed my guess: "The casualties in these battles are very high."

No wonder Prince Charlie is in urgent need of healing potions. For a long time, the Royal Constructed Knights have the highest quota of munitions and supplies. I did not expect that in addition to this, a large amount of healing potions will be needed. It can be seen that Ahnqiladuo How fierce the battles in the plane were fought.

Even so, it's hard for me to accept Prince George's actions. What kind of provocation is this?

If the quartermaster from the royal family came forward and offered me to purchase a batch of magic herbs, I really couldn't refuse, so I could only hold my nose and accept it.

But they've made it this way, so don't blame me for what's next.

Aliya said to me again: "I heard that more than a dozen lords' Constructed Knights were directly disabled. Not only did they not receive rewards, but they were forced to withdraw from the front line."

"Since the Construct Knights are disabled, what's wrong with withdrawing?" I asked puzzled.

Aliya smiled slightly with a hint of sarcasm, and said: "If you withdraw at this time, how can the fruits of subsequent victories have their share!"

It seems that Prince Charles is not as good as expected, otherwise he should never have done things like this.

Aliya said again: "The person who bought the fire oil for the corpse here is a lord who came from the southern part of the empire. It is said that Quentin Busman's distant uncle."

"A member of the Busman family?" I asked Alicia.

Alia shook her head and said: "It's just a small lord in the south. It can barely be regarded as a branch of the Busman family. Ryan Busman once helped him inherit the title of the family, so he and Quentin got along well. Very close."

She continued: "I came to the imperial capital this time, probably because I saw that the current situation of the war between the planes has turned around, and I also want to join in. I guess I want to follow Prince Charlie's Royal Knights in Angela's multi-dimensional plane." Fish for oil and water."

"It's really courageous to dare to join in to fish for oil and water at a time like this!" I couldn't help but mocked from the side.

But Aliya said: "There are plenty of lords who want to join in to make money, and now half of the lords of the imperial capital are staring at Angela's multi-dimensional plane!"

It seems that the victories of the Grimm Empire's previous plane wars blinded the eyes of these lords, so that they only saw the huge benefits after the victory, but did not notice what would happen if they failed.

"So! How could a small southern lord be looked down upon by Prince Charlie." Alia sighed.

I went on to say: "So this person is thinking about the relationship with 'Little Charlie' Prince George all day?"

Alicia nodded to me and said, "I heard that recently the lord frequently took George and Quentin to various high-end places in the imperial capital, so he successfully got involved in this matter."

Alia and I were talking about this matter, and Alia's personal maid, Betty, had already checked the accounts in her hand. At this time, she came over with a pot of tea and said to me: "Now go to the imperial capital to find war The Lord of Opportunity almost overwhelmed the second and third blocks of the imperial capital."

"Find it?" I asked Betty.

Betty nodded obediently, and said, "Well, there is not much discrepancy in the accounts with large amounts."

"That's good!" I nodded, and then said to Alia: "Okay, that's it for today, do you want to go home directly? I have an appointment to see Louis at night, and you can take me for a ride .”

"..." Alia looked at me rather resentfully, almost dripping water from her charming eyes.

So, I had no choice but to promise her that if Scholar Yerkes was not in the Academy of Magic, I would go to her place for supper, which was considered to appease her full of resentment.

After the magic caravan sent Alia and Betty back to her manor, it was completely dark, and Katerina was not by my side, so Alia asked me to take her magic caravan to the Emerald Bay Trading Company to meet Louis Gate SA.

Louis Mensah didn't expect me to rush over so late, so he met me in the half-empty garden on the roof of the Emerald Bay Trading House, and only then did I know that he invited me to buy some 'power of the giant bear' Magic pattern construction.

Today, the three sets of magic-weave configurations designed by Yerkes scholars have become the primary magic-weave equipment that the major lords are eager to buy in the imperial capital, but they are rarely available in the market, even if they are occasionally seen in the auction house. To one or two sets, it is also the magic pattern structure of the 'Magic Serpent's Fang'...
