Master Tongtian

Chapter 148 A very ordinary lunch conversation (44)

The closer the relationship is, the more carefully it must be maintained.

If you think that intimacy means being careless, informal, or even acting recklessly relying on the other person's feelings for you, it will easily end badly.

Therefore, although the accident in the morning gave Rosen a sense of reverie.

But because Gendeloni was Thrandis's best sister, Rosen immediately put this reverie behind him.

In the subsequent time they spent together, he behaved himself without making any hints, and always maintained a slightly close but moderate distance from Gendeloni in front of Thrandis.

‘As long as you don’t bring outside women in front of me, I don’t mind. ’

This is a dead line drawn by Thrandis, one that Rosen will always remember.

In the next few days, Rosen fulfilled his promise and used his connections at the Maple Leaf Tea Party and the Flower Society to help Gendeloni open a ritual shop in Greenleaf City.

The name of the store is ‘Sisters of Laughter’, which is only one street away from Sunshine House.

On the opening day, Rosen vigorously promoted the business and even brought in Master Fuller to praise it.

Gendeloni was also fully prepared and showed off many of her favorite works.

Rosen also placed some rune stones and magic weapons that he made himself.

Gendeloni's weapon refining skills are indeed good, and several of the magic weapons consigned by Rosen were also well received.

After some operations, the reputation of the Laughing Sisters spread throughout the Silver Moon Castle mage circle, and the first wave of business was successfully completed, and the subsequent response was also good.

The signboard of the magic weapon shop has finally stood up.

After that, Rosen didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he was very busy and didn't plan to make much money from the magic weapon shop. His main job of making money was painting.

You can only paint one painting a month, you are eligible to bid, and you can choose the theme, but you must bring enough confession coupons.

All in all, painting can bring in a stable income of at least 1,300 kronor a month.

On this day, Rosen completed a painting called "My Happy Time as the Queen of the Moon Elf", picked up the invitation to Moon View Garden, and rushed to have lunch with the Earl.

The Count often invited mages to have lunch with her, and Rosen was not an exception.

He arrived at Moon Moon Garden by familiar means. As soon as he got off the carriage, a servant came to guide him.

"My lord, my lady is waiting for you in the small garden."

Rosen was startled: "Small Garden, Madam, will you just invite me?"

A small garden is usually a place for private conversations. If it is a big garden, there will be a group of mages talking loudly.

The servant nodded: "Madam, she didn't sleep well last night. She has a headache and wants to be quiet."

"Well, I understand."

This is not the first time that I have been summoned to have a conversation alone. They are basically discussing flow techniques.

After entering the small garden and coming to the rain shelter in the center of the garden, I saw the count sitting lazily on a cool wicker chair, wearing a cool but luxurious flowing silk skirt.

There was a female servant beside her, fanning her gently.

Of course the mage can cast a cooling spell on himself, just like anyone with legs can walk.

But nobles like to ride in carriages, and they also like to have others serve them.

The reason is simple, it feels comfortable.

"sit down."

The count pointed to the chair opposite, waved to the waiter, and various dishes were served.

This is not the first time. Rosen will naturally not be restrained and just face the count in a polite but slightly wanton manner.

After sitting down, he grabbed the tender lamb ribs with both hands and asked, "Madam, what kind of problem did you encounter this time?"

Count Sofia watched Rosen eat with relish, but she only ate a little.

"We won't talk about flow numbers today. This thing seems wonderful at first, but after getting deeper into it, it is extremely complicated, especially the multi-dimensional curvature flow array you talked about last time. Although it can indeed solve the problem, it gives me a headache."

Rosen shrugged: "There is no way. I can only say that the laws of nature are far more complicated than we imagine."

Sophia nodded in approval: "Indeed."

She took a small bite of the fish and asked, "I heard that you went to take care of the territory some time ago?"

Rosen was slightly moved in his heart, but he admitted calmly: "Although I won't put too much effort into it, I still have to take care of it, at least not to make it difficult for the people in my territory."

"Oh, so how did you do it?"

"I didn't do anything. I was exempted from taxes for a few years, and then spent some money to repair irrigation canals and roads, and to rebuild damaged public buildings."

The Earl was a little curious: "Although we don't do much, it costs a lot of money to do it well, at least a thousand crowns, right?"

"Madam, you guessed it right, it did cost thousands of crowns."

"You have spent so much money, and you may not be able to get it back from the territory in five or six years. The people in the territory may be grateful for your kindness, but they may also think that you are taking advantage."

Rosen finished eating the ribs and was carefully spreading sweet milk sauce on the bread.

"It doesn't matter if you can't take it back, it doesn't matter if you take advantage of it, as long as you don't go too far."

After a pause, he smiled and said: "Besides, those ordinary people can't take advantage of me."

"Oh~"

The earl became even more interested: "From past experience, you seem to like fair transactions and don't like to be taken advantage of. How can you be willing to let the people of your territory take advantage of you?"

Rosen said seriously: "If I am dealing with an equal or a high-ranking person, I will naturally try my best to protect my interests. After all, I am in a low position. If I don't do this, I may be bullied."

"Of course, I'm talking about what if. Madam didn't bully me."

"But if the other party is in a vulnerable position, the little money they need may be just a lunch for me, but for them, it may be life-saving money to treat an emergency."

"The same amount of money is far from equally important to both of us. I don't mind using my lunch to exchange for a life of a citizen, or to make the life of a citizen easier."

"What if they get better and want to be better, or even want to live a better life than you?"

"I don't think I need to take action. The cold social laws will make them restrain themselves."

"What are the laws?"

"Without literacy or maps, most people will never be able to travel hundreds of miles in their lifetime, let alone martial arts, let alone magic."

"The huge gap in knowledge and power will serve as a good constraint on their desires."

This is not the earth. The superiors control the inferiors mostly through deception. However, there are truly powerful spells here. If a great mage attacks them, it will be useless for many ordinary people.

Since the gap is so big, there is no need to exploit people to death. Relaxing appropriately can also promote the progress of the overall productivity of society.

The Earl nodded slowly: "Very good. As expected of someone who has experienced a hard life. In your eyes, the lower-class civilians are still human beings, not livestock or tools."

At this point, she stopped going in depth and changed the topic.

"How many new spells have you learned recently?"

"I learned a six-star mid-level spell, I also improved some powerful gravity spells, and I also made an extraordinary version of a powerful missile."

"But because of my limited spell-casting ability, I can't learn anything stronger."

The earl smiled and said: "At your age, six stars are already very good. You are still young and have a lot of time in the future. Don't be anxious."

"I remember, ma'am."

"By the way, have you gone to see Chapollet recently?"

"I see it often. My uncle also taught me the key to riding a horse, and I have mastered it. But I still don't like riding a horse. It hurts my thighs."

"Hahaha~"

"You are a mage. You only need to learn a little bit of riding skills. There is no need to practice more."

"But having said that, Xia Bolay, an ignorant guy, I'm afraid he can only teach you this."

"No, madam, uncle also taught me a lot of experience in fighting powerful warriors, and they are all very practical."

"Oh, this is a serious matter."

Afterwards, they chatted for a while. Seeing that Rosen had filled his stomach, the count said, "I'm a little sleepy too. I have to go rest. Please step back."

"Thank you for your hospitality, madam."

Rosen touched his stomach. He was very full because the chefs at Wangyue Garden were really good at cooking.

The Count looked amused and couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, at your age, you should eat as much as you can."

"You are very good. You are much taller than before. You should be taller than Chapollet now. It seems that you have listened to my words."

Rosen felt ashamed in his heart: "Thank you, madam, for your teaching."

Others listened to it, but they failed to abstain from sexual intercourse and even indulged in a little indulgence.

Thrandis won't say it anymore, the newlywed wife is like thunder and fire, and she will fight if she is not careful.

Xia Lina often came to him for advice, always coming once every ten days and a half.

Fortunately, there were only two, so we could barely cope.

After watching the count exit the garden, he turned and left.

As I walked on the road, I recalled the count's seemingly unintentional question in my mind, and I had already roughly guessed something.

"The only problem at the moment is that the sources of information are too fragmented and everything is just guesswork and very inaccurate."

While sitting in the carriage, I couldn't help but think: "It would be great if I had an excellent intelligence officer to collect intelligence for me."

Unknowingly, I returned to Sunshine Villa. When I arrived at the door, I saw a pure black carriage parked at the door.

Rosen was startled: "No way, didn't you just ask me for advice the day before yesterday, and now you come to me for advice again?"

But then something clicked in his mind: "I'm afraid the temple has a mission!"

Chapter 144: Overturned. Also because the car has been rolling over a lot recently, I will reduce the accelerator again. But Lao Mo understands the hobbies of gentlemen. So I occasionally write some extras and share them in the Q group. Gentlemen can join the group.
