Chapter 117

"Interesting."

After reading Alfonso's letter about once, Joshua's deep voice reverberated in the study. The soldier found that the letter sent by the merchant had nothing to do with the auction, but it was also very important... At least, let him know something happened in the imperial capital.

Something about his family business.

"Someone's against me? It's kind of interesting. "

If you look at it again, it will naturally infringe on the interests of other people, especially the original weapon dealers.

This is the source of the target.

"When you think about it, it seems that the Wilson family is trying to support my cheap uncle to come to power for this reason."

He said to himself in a low voice. Joshua shook his head. "It's true that the raw material suppliers are going to produce and sell their own products. I don't know how many enemies they will set up. No wonder these people are going to take advantage of the unstable situation in Moldavia to embezzle my property."

This is what Alfonso, who is in the capital of the emperor, said in his letter to Joshua - probably because of the war with the orcs, a large number of shop owners assigned by the family did not think that Joshua would survive the war before crossing. Danya had been successfully courted by many people before she went back to fight for the title.

Therefore, after Joshua easily killed his cheap uncle and officially inherited the Earl title, the shopkeepers who had taken refuge in Danya were afraid of revenge and immediately sold the shop to Radcliffe's competitors, who naturally took over without hesitation.

In addition, shortly after succeeding to the title, Joshua went to Moldova to help the skarants, but he didn't find out this situation in time. There are only two of the radcliffs' five stores in the imperial capital. Fortunately, there are no such large-scale resale events in other places. Generally speaking, the loss is small, But it's a big blow to reputation.

"It's short-sighted and stupid. It's not a big deal to take refuge in danlia. In the final analysis, it's still to serve the family. I'm not a devil. If I'm willing to continue to work hard, the ghost will replace an experienced and well connected shopkeeper for this kind of thing."

Shaking his head and looking at the letter, Joshua's eyes narrowed slightly. He sneered: "as for now... It's betrayal."

And the Betrayer never ends well.

The soldier stood up from his chair. He took up his pen and wrote down a few words on a notebook: "it's time to go to the imperial capital sometime... By the way, let me see which families dare to fight against me."

Write down the names of several families who dare to buy their own family business in their mind and write them in their notebooks. Joshua looks at the last paragraph of Alfonso's letter.

[... Therefore, I hope the count will grant me the right to preside over your industry in the imperial capital. I am confident that I can stabilize the situation and even take back the two transferred shops.

In order to gain your trust, I would like to take the honor of Carlos as a witness and lead the whole family to pledge allegiance to you and the Radcliffe family.

Yours faithfully, Alfonso Carlos

"This guy is really good at seizing the opportunity. You know, the shopkeeper who can run a shop in a place like the imperial capital basically needs to be cultivated from childhood, or even close relatives with blood ties... An outsider, the president of a local caravan, plans to win an industry in a place like the imperial capital by a few words."

The image of a middle-aged man with a scar on his throat appeared in his mind. Joshua showed a smile on his face: "although I really need a person who knows business to stabilize the situation at this time, and I specially use the pledge of allegiance as a guarantee, but I like this straightforwardness."

Soldiers don't hate this simple and direct way of doing things. It's human nature to want to climb up. Only when a person has desire in his heart can he work hard. Since Alfonso is optimistic about himself and willing to get on his own boat, why not give him a chance? He is willing to buy strange things for himself, and naturally will do his best to work for the soldiers.

"Hoo..."

Suddenly, on one side of the study, the sound of breathing came.

The soldier turned his head and looked back. Sure enough, the girl with silver hair was lying on the sofa beside the wall and fell asleep again.

As she approached slowly and bent down slightly, Joshua looked down. Ying was lying on the fur sofa on her side. Her eyes were closed, her long eyelashes trembled with her breath. Miss Shenji breathed steadily, her face was very relaxed, and she seemed to sleep comfortably.

"... if you want to rest, you should go to the room."

Shaking his head and sighing, Joshua didn't know what to do. He gave a wry smile: "now you don't need to fight. What are you doing with me all the time? How nice to have a good sleep."He did not intend to disturb the rest of his weapons. Joshua put away the letters in his hand. He returned to the seat in front of his desk and continued to deal with the remaining letters.

But the firefly, who was in sleep, frowned slightly.

She is dreaming.

——It's a weird nightmare.

The dark sky, the sun disappeared, because of the cloud cover and the dim Earth toward the end of the world spread, almost extinguished general red dim light on it to form a dot, flashing at the edge of the sky.

When the screen opens its eyes in a dream, it sees such a scene.

Under the body, is a dead land, the black soil exudes the smell of putrefaction, in which there is no vitality.

High above the sky, the twisted and strange cloud screen obscures the sky. It slowly changes its shape, making its pattern become more and more strange, emitting some evil power.

The silver haired girl in the dream looks at everything around her blankly.

In this dream, firefly's perspective is in the middle of the sky, and she can clearly see the whole picture around her - from the end of the sky to the other end of the earth, whether it is mountains, hills, forests, rivers or the ruins of cities, they are all covered with thick gray fog, which is too thick to breathe, mixed with black dust, All things on the earth will be gradually wrapped in a layer of crystal shell as turbid as stone, while the thick rain drops from the twisted clouds, spreading the power of chaos to the whole world.

The power of chaos envelops the whole world and makes everything tend to absolute chaos.

Water no longer flows, wind no longer blows, trees no longer grow, sun and moon no longer rise and fall

——Naturally, fire is no longer burning.

The fire of the world has been extinguished.... the fire of the world has been extinguished
