A few days later, Chengbei district.
Dressed in a tuxedo and riding on a horse, Joshua dismounted under the warm and respectful service of the servants, and walked through the main gate into this seemingly lively mansion.
"He drinks and eats meat. Don't feed him grass and soybeans."
When a coachman led the horse away, the soldier reminded him a little: "if it doesn't work, then add two raw eggs. Be careful. It's hot tempered. Don't get hurt by kicking."
"Yes, count."
He nodded respectfully. After Joshua left, the groom immediately turned back, carefully appeased the black horse who was a little upset because of his master's leaving, and carefully led him to the rear stables.
Speaking of this horse, it was an extraordinary thing. It was the same horse that accompanied Joshua from the northwest plain to the north. He walked for 17 days day and night, which was also a kind of companion.
Before, Joshua put it in the wild when he went to the city, and let it find food by itself. Originally, he had a mind to set it free, but he didn't intend to find it back. Who knew that this horse with the blood of the Earth Dragon could recognize the smell, so he forced himself to enter the city gate a few days ago and found it all the way.
In that case, there was no reason why he had to let go. Joshua felt that the horse was so loyal and didn't run so slowly, so he just ate and drank and raised it as a special mount.
"The banquet has already begun. I'm waiting for your presence."
Walking on the way to the mansion, the housekeeper in front of him was very restrained. Facing the black haired man in front of him, who had seen big waves and had received numerous aristocrats and celebrities, he felt a little nervous when he spoke, even dry mouth: "you are the protagonist today."
"Yes."
But Joshua didn't feel much. He noticed the little gaffe of the Deacon beside him, but he didn't care: "don't be nervous. Tell me who will come to the party."
As a matter of fact, the Deacon has been well-informed and has a tough heart without being frightened and speechless by the current attributes of the warrior. In front of the two new image characteristics of "murderer" and "destroyer", few people can keep calm.
[character image - killing like hemp: Charm - 2, threat + 3, natural creature affinity - 2, natural creature fear + 2, rescuer characteristic owner's initial indifference]
[your hands are covered with blood. Countless lives will die because of you. Others will be away and feel scared. Even hungry beasts will choose to take a detour when they meet you.]
[character - destroyer: Charm - 1, threat + 2, natural creature affinity - 1, natural creature fear + 1, builder's characteristic owner's initial indifference]
All you leave behind are ruins, death and bones
The initial charm and various affinity skill levels of a character are directly proportional to their appearance. For example, an elf with a full face has a natural charm value of 20 and a natural biological affinity value of 20. Even a hungry wolf will not take her as a hunting target and even pray meekly, The dwarves with good looks only need to "come here" and "follow me" to tame a steel drill mole, and so on.
Although Joshua is not ugly, with a 20-year-old face, he is about 14 or 15, so he can be regarded as a tough guy with a tough temperament, and his initial charm value is 14, which is not a low number. However, because he has spent many years in the military, his temperament and image tend to be "dignified" rather than "friendly", Charm Value plummets while threat value rises all the way.
Nowadays, the charisma of a warrior is only poor "4", but the threat has reached an incredible "18" with the help of the two character characteristics recently obtained. Ordinary people with fragile hearts will be scared to soften their feet when they are stared at by him. In a sense, they simply have a small aura of fear.
"There are not many people here, but they are all big figures in various chambers of Commerce. For example, the head of huiyanlongche business group, the vice president of limestone chamber of Commerce and the president of donglang chamber of Commerce want to meet you, the new Lord."
After calming down a little, the well-informed housekeeper also stabilized his mind. He took Joshua into the reception hall of the mansion and said smoothly: "of course, my master, the president of beishuang chamber of Commerce, also wants to see you. This time, you are willing to appear, which really gives my master enough face."
"It's nothing. Instead of visiting or sending letters one by one, I'd better go to a party and have a drink."
Joshua shook his head. Recently, he had a great aversion to "letter": "look at your expression, your breathing and the rhythm of blood flow. I think there are other things I can't bear to say, right? There's no need to hesitate. To be frank, there's no need to be so restrained. This is the northern part of the country, not the imperial capital. Etiquette can be relaxed. ""It's better to be respectful than obedient."
After a moment's hesitation, the housekeeper subconsciously glanced around, and then said carefully, "well, I hope you can give my host a chance to visit me alone before the banquet."
"Oh?"
Looking at the nervous deacon with dark red eyes, Joshua thought for a while and replied with interest, "it's a little interesting, OK."
"Thank you for agreeing to this rude request, so please follow me."
After receiving the reply, the housekeeper of the president of beishuang chamber of Commerce breathed a sigh of relief and immediately changed his route to Take Joshua to a well decorated reception room. Then after the soldier sat down, he stood at the door and bowed respectfully: "please wait a moment, I'll go to inform him, and the master will come later."
"Nothing. You go."
Joshua waved his hand to show that he didn't care. Since the host of the banquet was not in a hurry, he didn't bother to think about it. He sat and waited for a while.
But it didn't take long for him to wait. Soon, two or three minutes later, with a rapid and rhythmic step stopping in front of the door, the door of the reception room was opened.
This is a middle-aged man in a dress with a knife wound on his throat. As soon as he came in, he bowed his head and gave a salute, which was impeccable in etiquette. Then the middle-aged man raised his head and let Joshua see his face.
"Oh, it's you?"
Although considering all kinds of situations, Joshua could not help but look at the face and said, "what a coincidence."
"It's my pleasure to meet you, count."
It's obvious that the frosty face and the scar on his throat, the president of beishuang chamber of Commerce, just when Joshua rode to the main city, reminded him to be careful of the dangerous middle-aged people in the business group. Unexpectedly, the tired looking guy was actually the president of one of the largest chambers of Commerce in the north.
In this way, as a guy who can be regarded as a high-level person, it's really good that he can go out in person to remind strangers in the ice and snow. The soldier's good impression on him has improved a lot.
Standing up, Joshua didn't talk much. Since they knew each other, they didn't need to be polite. He said with a smile, "well, I'm right. As long as you wait a few days, there will be great changes and you will have unexpected gains."
"Lord Joshua, your strength is beyond my imagination. It's a great harvest to know you in advance."
The middle-aged man said respectfully, but his tone was very calm: "my name is Alfonso Carlos. As you can see, I am the president of beishuang chamber of Commerce. Now I invite you to come here, I have something to ask for."
"Go ahead."
Joshua liked this simple and direct way of speaking. He didn't care what others asked of him. In fact, it was because of his capital and strength that he was relied on and valued by others. He had some demands: "Moldavia is my territory. If it's not a big deal, I can certainly solve it."
