Two hundred and seventieth chapters come to an end
"During the war, the gods played with the elements and rules wantonly. The elf magisters were not willing to be suppressed all the time. They kept fighting for the dominance of the elements. Various forbidden spells were developed, and in the end, a demonic tide was directly suppressed."
"Although the gods were defeated and became sculptures in the true sense, the decline of the demon tide was inevitable. In addition, the influence of the gods in the Elf Empire at that time was not small. From Kali
Since the war between Si and the gods, there have been constant rebellions within the empire. There are many supporters of the gods from the top of the empire to the common people. While fighting the war with the gods, Kalis has also been involved in the constant internal rebellions. After the demise of the gods,
, the Elven Empire itself was also greatly damaged in strength, coupled with internal divisions and low demonic tide, several factors led to the complete collapse of the Elf Empire not long after Kallis."
Richard listened to all of Aragorn's description of the rebellious Elf King's Ring as if he were listening to a story. To be honest, Richard understood the protagonist of the story, Calis, very well. No worthy emperor could tolerate the overriding of divine authority.
Above me, the rules and elements are all controlled by the gods. These gods still have consciousness and emotions. What a desperate era it was. Behind the glory of the gods is the sorrow of mortals.
"What about the Lord of the Rising Sun?"
"The Lord of the Rising Sun was just someone who slipped through the cracks of that era. He was very smart and did not confront Kalis head-on. He used his human identity to hide early on. Yes, before the Lord of the Rising Sun became a god, his identity was a
Human beings do not have the pride of those elves and gods, but they know how to be flexible and adaptable. They actually became one of the few gods in that era who escaped disaster by sleeping, and they actually slept until the era of the demise of the elven empire."
Aragorn didn't need to tell what happened next. Richard could guess it. Whether it was luck or misfortune, the Lord of the Rising Sun escaped the era of the end of the gods. He thought he could shake off a bit, but he bumped into it.
Like Aragorn, the son of the fate of the times, the immortal Aragorn still held the God-killing Ring, which was called the nemesis of the gods, and directly wounded the Lord of the Rising Sun into a deep sleep again.
Now with Aragorn awakening, the Lord of the Rising Sun sensed Aragorn's existence and sent out twenty-five Rand envoys to test. Yes, it was a test. From the beginning to the end, Rand was actually just a pawn that could be discarded at any time.
The Lord of the Rising Sun sent Rand as cannon fodder when he was not sure whether Aragorn could still use the God-killing Ring. He just wanted to test Aragorn's strength. If Aragorn could be eliminated, it would be a surprise. No.
Being able to kill Aragorn and use Rand's annihilation in exchange for some information is not a loss for the Lord of the Rising Sun.
The only good thing is that Richard should not have to worry about the descending attack from the divine level for the time being. After Rand's failure this time, the Rising Sun Cult should be quiet for a while. At least the Lord of the Rising Sun will not be able to do it until he is not sure.
The one who may have ended up casually, but the only one that Richard couldn't understand was the Pope Mixiu. This guy's behavior seemed quite confusing to Richard, and even Richard had a vague feeling that the other person's belief in the Lord of the Rising Sun was not firm.
The Pope has no faith in his own gods? What a fool.
"Your Majesty Aragorn, please stay here and cultivate yourself well. If you need anything, please tell Butler Eger. As long as the request is not particularly outrageous, it will be met immediately."
Aragorn nodded to indicate that he understood and that he also needed to rest for some time.
Richard got up and left with others to go back to Ironwood Fort. In order to deal with the incoming Rising Sun Cult, the main members of the Hunter family were transferred one after another. The whole process was too fast and it was a bit confusing. Now things are going wrong.
After it's over, Richard has to go back and clean up the situation.
Moreover, Richard's current physical condition is not very good and he needs to return to Ironwood City to rest. After achieving his goal, there is no need to stay any longer.

…
"Sir Richard, these are cigarettes made according to your requirements. What do you think?"
In the ironwood fort, Richard took the box handed over by the waiter and looked at it carefully. It was a small, square box. The box had a gold and red pattern stamped on it through some memory. Richard was quite satisfied with the appearance. It was so
It smells a little like Huazi from the previous life.
Opening the box, there were twenty relatively thin cigarettes lying neatly inside, which looked much more refined than those on the market. Filters and other items were also added according to Richard's requirements, and the leaves were pressed more finely.
Some, just in terms of appearance, have beaten those cigarettes on the market in the past, but the cost is inevitably higher, but it doesn't hurt to have a higher cost. This product is not originally aimed at the customer group of the lower class, it is high-end.
route.
This feeling of overlapping with the memories of his previous life gave Richard, who had been recuperating for almost half a month, the idea of having a good time. This thing is like this sometimes.
You may say you are addicted, but in fact if you don’t think about it, you may not touch it for a long time, but you can’t stand someone holding it and dangling it in front of you, and you just can’t see it.
"fire"
Richard took one out of the box, but found that he didn't even have a fire with him, so he could only ask the waiter in front of him.
"Here, Sir Richard, I'll get it for you."
"Forget it, forget it, go and call Manager Egger."
"Yes, sir."
As the waiter walked out of the room, Richard couldn't help but complain:
"If you give me smoke but not fire, little brother, you are walking on a narrow path."
Of course, Richard finally decided to endure it not just because of the fire. In that battle half a month ago, the God-killing Ring was sucked so hard that the sequelae were so strong that he has not fully recovered yet. He barely managed to
Only when you are strong can you show some knight-level strength. Your body is still a little weak, so it is not suitable for whipping something as powerful as Hua Zi.
"Master Richard, what are your orders?"
As soon as General Manager Egger entered the door, he saluted Richard. In terms of etiquette, Egger was the most persistent and particular. The rules of the Hunter family were basically in charge of Egger, otherwise it was just Viscount Sauter and the other senior officials.
Damn it, they might get so drunk that they can become brothers with the servants around them.
"Uncle Egg, sit down, no need to be polite."
"Thank you, Master Richard."
Iger didn't show much pretense. After the etiquette was in place, he followed Richard's gesture and sat on the chair next to him.
"Look at this cigarette."
Iger took the delicate box handed over by Richard and after looking at it for a while, he saw that this thing was different from the cigarettes on the market.
"There should be some sales."
Iger said it more conservatively, but since even Iger is optimistic about it, the early promotion should be no problem.
"I have already ordered the factory to recruit people and prepare for mass production. Uncle Egg, keep an eye on it. It may be another big source of our Hunter family's economy."
Richard knew better than anyone how profitable tobacco was. The kingdom had always neglected this area of business and did not engage in any special taxation, which gave Richard a chance to develop.
"Yes, Master Richard."
When Richard said this, Iger also increased his attention. Anyway, Richard's arrangements are always right. This is the consensus of the Hunter family's senior management. Since Richard said he could make a lot of money, he must be right.
"In terms of sales promotion, in addition to arranging for the caravans from the Demon Suppressing City, we cannot let go of the caravans from Ironwood City in the past. Try to let the caravans from Ironwood City develop together."
"Yes, I understand."
The caravans and management personnel in Demon Town were basically brought by Lin Te. In the past, Lin Te relied on Piaoxue City to operate, and his foundation was much stronger than that of the caravans in Ironwood City, with various sales channels and talents.
The reserves are not comparable to Ironwood City's original caravan.
But Richard, the caravanner of Ironwood City, has never given up training. It’s not that Richard can’t trust Lin Te, it’s just a balancing act that a superior should do. Sometimes some subordinates of superiors don’t have much ambition, but they are really superiors.
The opportunities given to me are too great. If you don’t want to cause trouble, you have to do it.
Richard never wants to test human nature. The rules that should be established and the balance that should be done must be done in advance.
"Master Richard, do you have anything else to say?"
"Well, the next thing is to prepare to expand the army."
Egger: “…”
"But Master Richard, our finances are still in a tight state, and we don't have much budget for military expansion at the moment."
Although Lin Te's joining made the Hunter family a little richer and filled a lot of previous financial holes, they still couldn't withstand Richard's horrific expenses, including military expansion, infrastructure, education, and monthly treasures, which...
Xiang Du cannot be pulled down. The Hunter family's finances are still in a relatively tight state, but it has only eased a little.
Now, Butler Iger didn't even cover his money bag, but he heard the word "army expansion" that bothered him again, and he couldn't help but want to persuade him.
“Isn’t it going to make money soon with these cigarettes…”
"well"
Egg sighed heavily after hearing what Richard said.
This rabbit is still on the mountain far away, you have to cut it up and eat it first...
