Lord Helanza

The magic caravan stopped in front of the hotel.

Surdak opened the car door and walked quickly to the hotel steps against the cold north wind.

Beatrice stretched his hand out the car window and said goodbye to Surdak.

Surdak stood on the steps, turned towards the carriage and waved his hand, watching the magic caravan driving Beatrice and Hathaway to leave, and then turned and walked into the hotel.

When the group of scammers were arrested yesterday, some things in the hotel were smashed. Although the waiter had cleaned up the lobby on the first floor again, the damaged sculptures at the handrails of the stairs were still there. , The sculpture of the beautiful woman with a broken arm reveals a kind of incomplete beauty.

Surdak's body has recovered. Although the lack of carrying capacity has caused the body to be weak and weak, at least the divine force has recovered some. The nodes in the body are like the starry sky that has just entered the night. As the night falls, the more More and more stars flickered in Surdak's spiritual world, and Holy Power began to slowly recover, giving Surdak some confidence.

Walking up the stairs, Aphrodite was waiting at the stairway on the fourth floor. She was wearing a loose nightdress with a small smile on her face, and said lazily to Surdak: "I still I thought you would find a place to go back there..."

Surdak saw a corner exposed among the long hair on Aphrodite’s head, and subconsciously wanted to see it. Behind her, it seemed that after the flesh wing had been cut off, the remaining part of the wing roots disappeared, leaving only a flat back, but she never wears a backless outfit and can't see the scars there.

"Uh, if time permits, I will try my best to come back." He rubbed his nose, said, and then asked her again: "Would you like to go down for a drink?"

Aphrodite looked at him condescendingly, curl one's lip, and did not reveal his hypocrisy, only said: "Forget it, I don't want to cause trouble for you, will I come back tomorrow morning?"

"en!" Surdak followed Aphrodite up, and then said: "I am going to see Count Gophero again. If it still doesn't work, let's go back to Helanza. I have no patience to continue with him. Consume it!"

Aphrodite stopped, turned to stare at him and asked: "It seems that you have already figured out a countermeasure?"

Surdak opened the door of the room, I walked in and lit the candle on the candlestick in the room, and then said: "I am going to talk to Count Gophero first, become a business partner, and involve some interests. He has been in trouble recently and may be tempted by my proposal... "

"Good luck!" Aphrodite said, standing at the door of the room.

She did not go inside, but returned to her room.

……

The magic caravan of the Newman family is parked on the side of the street. The noble district will become very quiet at night, and occasionally there will be a horse-riding guard camp Knight passing by.

The snow on this street was swept clean, and there was not much residual snow even on the bushes and low walls on the side of the road.

Luke Newman is sitting on the soft leather sofa in the carriage. There are two goblets on the table. A maid is carefully peeling the lizard fruit for Luke. Luke is holding it in both hands. Behind his head, lying comfortably on the sofa, faint smiled at Harvey Gophero with a look of expectation.

He didn't think Harvey Gophero was so stupid before, and he even thought Harvey might bring the Gopher Luo Family out of the trough.

But now he feels that he is too naive. The contempt in his eyes can’t even hide, and the smile on his face is a bit stiff because of being too reluctant. He points his face to Harvey with his fingers. . Gefilo asked: "Is the word'idiot' written on my forehead that will give you the courage to say these things in front of me?"

"Um?"

Harvey Gophero looked stunned, and didn't expect Luke to say this at all.

Luke squinted his eyes and approached Harvey and said, "It seems that you really don’t know anything."

Harvey looked a little unnatural, and asked: "What the hell are you What do you want to say?"

Luke spreads his hands on the shoulders of the two maids beside him, and says casually, "No matter how beautiful Hathaway Luthor is, it doesn’t belong to me now. , That many beautiful and innocent aristocratic ladies in Pena, when will Newman’s people use some nasty tricks in chasing women? Before I get drunk and don’t want to beat people... Hurry up, it’s best. Don’t let me see you again."

Harvey's face flushed all of a sudden. He has been scolded recently, but he was scolded by a young brat like Luke Newman, which made him even more so. Some fly into a rage out of humiliation, he wanted to grab his collar and fiercely gave him a lesson, but seeing the eyes of the two guards around him always fixed on him, Harvey did not dare to move...

He clenched his fist and said angrily to Luke: "Luke, count me wrong for you."

He opened the door of the car and couldn't wait to jump off the carriage. .

The north wind outside is very cold.

As soon as the wind blows, Harvey wakes up a little bit. He watched the magic caravan slowly drive away from the side of the road, drew a rapier fiercely and smashed it fiercely on the shrub wall. He stood there. After a while, let the emotions be calm and calm, put up the collar of the coat, and walked embarrassedly on the sidewalk.

The north wind passed over the treetops and made a whistling sound of'wu wu'. Harvey's face became a little pale. It is at least a few kilometers away from Gopher's Luo Family Manor. The magic caravan, it seems unavoidable to go back.

Such a long road, such a cold night...

He has never been so embarrassed.

Luke Newman in the carriage raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, then personally pried a nut with a dagger and ate the nut inside.

"Luke Young Master, do you really intend to let the foreign nobleman just like that? Didn't you even say you want to give him some color yesterday?" The rebel Knight on the opposite side of the carriage asked with a puzzled look.

Luke Newman’s gloomy face had a contemptuous smile, and he said to his cronies: “Of course I want to give him some color, but not now, and I don’t want to find a pig teammate, Harvey. How can that pig help?"

……

The sky was overcast with clouds, and the wind was caught in the crystalline snow grains the size of rice grains, making it a little painful to hit a person's face.

The mansion of Count Gophero.

The old manor appeared more withered in the wind and snow. I walked into the gate and found that the pillar lights on both sides of the main road were very dilapidated. Between the pillar lights made of marble, there were some exquisite stone carvings. It’s just that these stone sculptures have not been repaired for a long time, and they are extremely old. The long years have made the surface of the stone sculptures a little weathered, so many lines have become very blurred. The front courtyard of the Gophero Manor is very well constructed. The shrub walls are often trimmed, so It also looks very neat.

Walking up the stone steps, the steps made of this kind of marble are covered with non-slip textures, but these textures are also somewhat fuzzy.

This manor was built in a restrained style. Looking around, the stone buildings everywhere have cultural heritage.

Surdak entered the manor this time at the invitation of Count Gefilo.

Today's Luo Family of Gopher has ushered in the most difficult economic period. Although there are several shops in Pena City, these shops are facing a loss situation. Surdak asks Sophia to investigate Gopher. According to the information of Luo Family, Surdak has a clear understanding of the internal situation of the Luo Family of Gopher.

Among these shops, the other Surdak shops are not familiar, but the Rossi Leather Shop is somewhat familiar to Surdak.

He himself is a half-hearted skinner, and the peeled skin needs to be sent to the leather shop for further processing. It is considered as the upstream supply channel of the leather shop. The source of raw hides by the Luo Family of Gopher is early It was cut off half a year ago, and the leather on the plane could not be transported to the Grimm Empire. Now the Rossi Leather Store has survived for more than half a year without supply, and the current turnover is not even enough to pay employees. .

At this time, the manager of Rossi Leather Store was standing under the steps in front of the main house of the Luo Family of Gopher.

The leather store manager and Surdak met once before. At that time, Surdak took out two salamander skins in front of the leather store manager and said that he wanted to discuss a long-term cooperation business. The store manager is very interested.

At that time, Surdak asked the leather shop manager to bring himself to meet the real owner of the shop on the grounds that “the manager of the leather shop cannot be the master of such a large single transaction”.

So Surdak had the opportunity to walk into the Luo Family Manor of Gopher.

The leather shop manager stood in front of Surdak and said complimentarily: "Surdak Baron, you are very punctual."

"Is Lord Gefilo here?" Surdak stared at him. The leather store manager asked casually.

"Of course, please follow me."

The leather shop manager made an inviting gesture to Surdak extend the hand, turned and walked to the front to lead the way.

The leather store manager climbed the steps and walked through the corridor on the right. Surdak asked the leather store manager in front:

"Are you familiar with this place?"

The leather shop manager said with nostalgia: "Of course, I have lived here for nearly seven years. I have been a tanner in the manor before the leather shop, and then I was transferred to the Rossi leather shop."

Walking into the main manor house, the two walked into a hall.

Surdak found that some places in the hall where paintings were originally hung on the walls have now become empty and those paintings have disappeared.

The main house of the Luo Family of Gofei presents a field-shaped layout, with four connected internal courtyards. At this time, there are piles of snowmen in the inner courtyard, and some underage aristocratic teenagers are working Playing in the courtyard, there are not many servants in the manor.

The leather shop manager took Surdak to a side hall on the second floor. Surdak saw Count Gophero again in the room. He was sitting at a long table with his eyes closed and the door was When the waiter pushed away, he opened his tired eyes.

Earl Gophero saw Surdak walking in behind him at a glance, his eyes were a bit complicated.

Surdak salutes Count Gophero at the door, Count Gophero pursed his lips and slightly nodded to Surdak.

The maid brought up refreshments, and Count Gophero waved to her and told her to retreat.

In the empty hall, only Count Gophero, the leather shop manager and Surdak were left, none of them meant to speak, and the atmosphere seemed a little dull.

Not seen for a few days, Surdak found that Count Gophero had lost a lot of weight, and the wrinkles on his face had become very clear, and that mean face looked at Surdak again.

"I heard Brunei say that you want to do some business with us?" Count Gophero's voice is dull, and he seems a little depressed...

Standing next to Count Gophero The leather shop manager owed him and said, “Surdak Baron said he has a salamander skin in his hand.”

Surdak sat nodded at the other end of the long square table. He said: “As a battlefield Skinner, I have some stable sources of goods, and I can establish some cooperative relations with the Luo Family of Gopher in leather making."

See Count Gophero remaining unmoved, Surdak directly took two from the magic pocket The raw skin of a salamander is on the table.

Surdak again said: "I can provide this quality source..."

The leather store manager stood up, walked around the wooden table, and carefully inspected the two raw hides. He looked up and said to Surdak: "This is a salamander skin, but the peeling method is very bad, and the division is not good. I am very good at cooking demonic beast leather, and I have a chance to cook the leather by hand. It can repair the original internal injury on the leather."

"I can provide your leather store with some salamander hides of this quality every once in a while. This is a long-term and lasting business cooperation. , So... I showed my sincerity, and naturally I want to see the sincerity of Lord Earl." Surdak paused, and looked at Count Gophero, his eyes a little overbearing.

Count Gophero said with a sneer: "What? Even if I say that I disagree, can I stop you? I have not seen Beatrice for at least three months. Since she is determined If you don’t want to go home, do you still care if I approve it?"

Surdak stood up and said stubbornly to Count Gophero: "I came here to show my attitude. I can Nei has some business dealings with the Luo Family of Gopher, and also wants your approval."

As soon as Count Gophero wanted to ridicule, he heard the leather store manager interject: "Master Earl... "

Count Gefilo immediately controlled his emotions, and then said a little discouraged: "Since Luthor chose you, what else can I say."

Surdak didn't expect the Luo Family of Gopher to be so embarrassed, the Count Gophero still speaks so hard, and said with a black face, "In this case, I will leave first."

Just got up and left this Conference Hall.

"Surdak Baron, please wait a moment!" The Brunei manager of the leather shop quickly stopped Surdak, and then looked towards the Earl of Gefilo and said with pleading: "Lord Earl..."

"Are you really planning to do business cooperation with our Luo Family?" Count Gophero opened his eyes and stared at Surdak and asked.

Surdak stopped at the door and said, "Of course!"

Count Gefilo closed his eyes, lightly sighed and said, "Well, you tell Beatrice , I should go home at least once before getting married! Since you are the happiness she is looking for, what reason do I have to stop!"
