Chapter 46 Only Children Make Choices
"The coachman just now went too far. He even said that I am fat and asked for extra money. You judge, am I really fat? Will the horse die from exhaustion if you pull this dozens of catties of meat?
When I get promoted in the future, I must first learn spells such as flying or teleportation, and I will never ride in his broken car again. "

After getting out of the car, Scudder still felt aggrieved, and complained to Roland and the others with some dissatisfaction.

As a result, no one paid attention to him, and all looked forward.

The headquarters building of the Hilt Consortium is located in the bustling area of ​​the commercial street in the city of Loon. The building is as high as a dozen floors (normal floor height, the first floor is the top three floors of the Mage Tower), and it looks magnificent and magnificent in this world of swords and magic.

It presents the image of stacked gold coins as a whole, but it is not a rigid single cylinder, but a strange form of three piles of gold coins stacked on top of each other. It is said to symbolize the three major shareholders of the Hilt consortium when it was first established. The outer wall Made of smooth marble, it looks like gilt under the sun's rays. On the front wall, the intersecting pattern of three large gold coins is even brighter and more gorgeous.

In front of the building is a square that is neither big nor small. In the center of the square is a beautiful fountain, above which stands a statue of the Goddess of Wealth.

The goddess is wearing a gorgeous robe, a crown on her head, and a clay pot in her hand. She looks elegant and solemn. She is smiling and dumping the pot in her hand. The gurgling spring water flows out of it, symbolizing endless wealth.

The water flows into a treasure basin-shaped pool below. The edge of the pool is inlaid with various stained glass that looks similar to gemstones, and it is also dyed with a layer of gilded gorgeous color in the sunlight.

Polina was dressed in white, which was colored in the sunlight, making her figure even more noble and elegant. Standing near the Goddess of Wealth, people thought it was another goddess of art made of gold.

Pedestrians on the road stopped at the same time and looked over.

They gazed at Paulina as if immersed in her beauty, whose confident radiance mixed with golden rays seemed to blend in with the surroundings.

And next to it, it seems that the professional team following her is constantly moving things down from the carriage.

The big and small bags were mostly luggage, and there seemed to be some alchemy props and magic equipment.

"Are they moving?" Skold complained, "I didn't have this battle when my family was hunting."

"Polina is a star. Isn't it normal that she travels with a make-up team and a filming team? I guess those bags are magic cameras, and the maids and servants are holding other luggage."

"Roland, do you understand well?"

"of course."

At this moment, Sophia also came down, and saw Froya, Roland and others at a glance.

She couldn't help being slightly surprised: "Why are they here?"

"Probably came to visit the Hilter Building, didn't we do the same at the beginning?" Paulina said lightly.

While talking, Froya, Roland and others came over.

"Froya, are you finally enlightened? But that's good too, as long as you gain experience, you will have the motivation to accumulate wealth and climb up." Sophia smiled at them and said with a little sarcasm.

"What do you mean?" Froya frowned.

"Didn't you come here to visit? You can't be invited to come here as important guests and shoot commercials like us, right?" Sophia said.

"This is a commercial order of tens of thousands of gold coins. When we were in the Mage Tower, we saw a lot of funds, but all of them were used for experiments. The bonuses that fell into our pockets every time were so pitiful. Only hundreds of silver coins."

"Sophia, do you only have money in your eyes? It's really disappointing." Froya said sadly.

"Of course I don't only see money, but also status, status, honor, fame, health, beauty, longevity... and even friendship!" Sophia said lightly.

"Children only make choices, and of course adults want all of them." Roland concluded for her.

"This elementary school boy is quite knowledgeable. It's almost like this. Life is a life. If you don't pursue these beautiful things, what is the meaning of life?"

"It's quite ambitious." Roland couldn't help but sigh.

Froya frowned and looked at Sophia with a complicated expression.

Sophia looked at Froya calmly with an expressionless expression.

"If you don't mind, you can go in with us. Although His Excellency Orvisto's name is very useful, a more important ceremony will be held here today, and the security has been strengthened because of our arrival. I'm afraid it will not be easy. Accept outsiders."

With a charming smile on her face, Paulina broke the deadlock.

"No need to be hypocritical, we have an appointment here, so we can go in by ourselves."

Froya firmly refused.

"Who are you making an appointment with? Can you tell us so that we can see each other?"

There was a slight sarcasm on Sophia's face.

"Just let Rick come over at that time." Roland said helplessly.

In fact, they didn't make an appointment at all, and they came here on a whim. Thinking about it now, they were really a bit reckless, maybe they couldn't even enter the gate.

"Hehehe..." Sophia covered her mouth and laughed as if hearing some joke, "We still have business to do, so I won't accompany you, Froya, take your children and have fun."

"We are one step ahead."

The smile on Polina's face didn't change from the beginning to the end. She held the hem of her skirt, bent her knees slightly, and gave an elegant lady's salute, then turned and walked towards the building.

Someone inside had seen the scene outside and had already notified the higher-ups on duty.

The senior manager of Hilt Company came to meet them.

"This guy!" Froya watched Sophia catch up, chatting happily with Hilt's senior manager and others, and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

At this moment, in the back street, Rick rushed to the company for business cooperation, just got off the carriage, and saw Roland here at a glance.

Surprised on his face, he handed the civilized stick in his hand to his followers, walked up with the agility that a fat man rarely possessed, and greeted, "Mr. Roland, why are you here?"

"Come here temporarily for a visit, Mr. Rick won't welcome you?" Roland said with a smile.

"How dare you, you can't wish for it." Rick laughed loudly, stretched out his hands to hold Roland's right hand, and shook it up and down.

On the other side, Sofia and Paulina were about to enter the door when the senior manager stopped them suddenly and reminded in a low voice, "Mr. Rick is here."

Sophia and Paulina turned their heads to look, only to find that Rick was respectfully accompanying Roland and his party, walking towards this side, and they couldn't help showing a look of shock that couldn't be concealed.
