Chapter 148 A Very Ordinary Lunch Conversation 4/4
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 women from outside to me, I don't mind.'
This is a dead line drawn by Thrandis, and Rosen will always remember it.
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 day of the opening, Rosen vigorously promoted it and even brought Master Fuller in to praise it.
"Hahaha~"
But nobles like to ride in carriages, and they also like to have others serve them.
This is not the earth. The superiors control the inferiors mostly through deception. However, there are truly powerful spells here. Even if a great mage is ruthless, it will be useless for many ordinary people.
"Well, I understand."
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?"
"I see you often. My uncle also taught me the secrets of horse riding, and I have mastered them. However, I still don't like riding horses. It hurts my thighs."
"But if the other party is in a weak 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."
"You are a mage. You only need to learn some riding skills. There is no need to practice more."
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."
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.
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."
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, and his main job of making money was painting.
The servant nodded: "Madam, she didn't sleep well last night. She has a headache and wants to be quiet."
"Oh, this is a serious matter."
"Haha, at your age, you should eat as much as you can."
The count often invites mages to have lunch with her, and Rosen is not an exception.
"The huge gap in knowledge and power will constrain their desires well."
As I walked on the road, I recalled the count's seemingly unintentional question in my mind, and I had roughly guessed something.
"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."
Thrandis won't say it anymore, a newlywed wife is like a thunder and fire, and she will fight if she is not careful.
He arrived at Moon Moon Garden by familiar means. As soon as he got off the carriage, a servant came to show him the way.
There was a maid beside her, fanning her gently.
After watching the count exit the garden, he turned and left.
"Sir, my lady is waiting for you in the small garden."
"What are the rules?"
"No, madam, uncle also taught me a lot of experience in fighting powerful warriors, and they are all very practical."
"I remember, ma'am."
Rosen felt ashamed in his heart: "Thank you, madam, for your teaching."
Xia Lina often came to him for advice, always coming once every ten days and a half.
After sitting down, he grabbed the tender lamb ribs with both hands and asked, "Madam, what kind of problem did you encounter this time?"
Since the gap is so big, there is no need to exploit people to death. Relaxing them appropriately can also promote the progress of the overall productivity of society.
The count pointed to the chair opposite, waved to the waiter, and various dishes were served.
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."
"But having said that, Chapollet, an ignorant guy, can only teach you this."
Gendeloni's weapon refining skills are indeed good, and several of the magic weapons consigned by Rosen were also well received.
"But because of my limited spell-casting ability, I can't learn anything stronger."
The reason is simple, it feels comfortable.
At this point, she stopped going in depth and changed the topic.
"Then what if they want to be better after they get better, or even want to live a better life than you?"
Rosen shrugged: "There's no way. I can only say that the laws of nature are far more complicated than we imagine."
A small garden is usually a place for private talks. If it is a large garden, there will be a group of mages talking loudly.
This is not the first time that I have been summoned to have a conversation alone. Basically, they discuss flow techniques.
The signboard of the magic weapon shop has finally stood up.
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.
"Thank you for your hospitality, madam."
Of course the mage can cast cooling spells on himself, just like anyone with legs can walk.
Rosen touched his belly. He was very full because the chefs at Wangyue Garden were really good at cooking.
"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."
"I didn't do anything. I just exempted myself from taxes for a few years, and then spent some money to repair irrigation canals and roads, and rebuild damaged public buildings."
"By the way, have you gone to see Chabolai recently?"
"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."
"The only problem at the moment is that the sources of information are too fragmented and everything is just guesswork and very inaccurate."
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.
Count Sofia watched Rosen eat with relish, but she only ate a little.
Rosen also placed some rune stones and magic weapons that he made himself.
The Count looked amused and couldn't help but laugh.
"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."
After that, they chatted for a while. Seeing that Rosen had filled his stomach, the count said: "I'm a little sleepy too. I have to rest. You can step back."
After a pause, he smiled and said: "Besides, ordinary people can't take advantage of me."
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."
"Madam, you guessed right, it did cost thousands of crowns."
Gendeloni also made full preparations and showed off many of her favorite works.
Rosen was startled: "Little Garden, Madam, will you just invite me?"
The Earl was a little curious: "Although you don't do much, it costs a lot of money to do it well, at least a thousand crowns, right?"
"Oh, so how did you do it?"
Fortunately, there are only two, so we can barely cope.
Others listened to it, but failed to abstain from sexual intercourse and even indulged in sexual intercourse.
"How many new spells have you learned recently?"
Rosen finished eating the ribs and was carefully spreading sweet milk sauce on the bread.
"Of course, I'm talking about what if. Madam didn't bully me."
"I don't think I need to take action. The cold social laws will make them restrain themselves."
This is not the first time. Rosen will naturally not be restrained and face the Count in a polite but slightly wanton manner.
"You are very good. You are much taller than before. You should be taller than Chapollet now. It seems that you have listened to what I said."
Sophia nodded in approval: "Indeed."
All in all, painting can bring in a stable income of at least 1,300 kronor a month.
She took a small bite of the fish and asked, "I heard that you went to take care of the territory some time ago?"
"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."
"Sit down."
"Oh~"
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."
"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."
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.
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 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: The car overturned. Because the car overturned a lot recently, I will reduce the accelerator again. But Lao Mo understands the hobbies of gentlemen. So I will occasionally write some extras and share them in the Q group. Gentlemen can join the group.
