Chapter 133: Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce’s Chips
Chapter 131 – Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce’s Chips
While Owen was mulling over these crooked ways, Maya used the territory as a stage to utilize her talents to the fullest, not only perfecting grassroots management and monetary operations, but also initially establishing a market and obtaining her first tax revenue.
Although it was not much, it was a good start, which meant that in addition to the territory’s own output, it also gained an additional source of income.
At the same time, the rich and promising town of Akita became more and more well-known, attracting more and more outsiders, and everything was going in the right direction.
However, the mutation fluctuation could be sensed by many people, who originally did not have much hope, after all, the Northland is too vast, but after Akita Town became famous, many people decided to take a trip.
As the old saying goes, poor in the city no one asked, rich in the mountains have distant relatives.
A certain comedian also said that even if a rich man hides in the mountains and plays with his eighteen blades, he can’t stop people from flocking to him.
Obviously, Owen is rich and expensive, so trouble is coming.
Brian absentmindedly sitting on the carriage, from time to time want to pick up the thick notebook in front of him, the strange pattern on it makes him both fascinated and vigilant, so every time he is about to touch it as if he is going to be electrocuted, his hand always shrinks back.
“Ugh~, maybe I’m really wrong.” For a whole decade, Brian had served in the Imperial Border Army in exchange for the support of the Imperial Border Army, but after ten years, he was still only one step away from success, and this step could never be broken through, and the last risky attempt even led to his limbs being crippled, and also caused serious damage, leading to dissatisfaction of the military ministry, unwilling to put in resources again, and he also left the Border Army in disillusionment.
For a time Brian’s heart was filled with bewilderment, not knowing where to go, suddenly remembered that before in the strange fluctuations coming from the Northland, he decided to go to the Northland to see if he could find inspiration.
Unfortunately along the way, empty, barren, barren, this is everything Brian saw in the Northland, let him do not know whether to continue.
The carriage came to a sudden stop, a shaking caused Brian’s body to tilt a little, the exposed parts of his hands and feet that were originally covered by the mage’s robes were surprisingly of metal construction.
Re-pulling his robes to cover the exposed parts, Brian’s face was a little unhappy as he addressed the students outside.
“Domi, go see what’s going on up front.”
“Okay teacher, I’m on my way.” Domi was Brian’s apprentice, but when he said he was an apprentice, he was actually also a part-time servant, helper, breather, and test subject.
Mage apprenticeship is known to be a high-risk occupation, not to mention that teacher Brian’s temper has been very bad lately, so Domi didn’t dare to have the slightest delay, yanking up his robe and running forward, while secretly complaining about the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce, still saying it’s the most famous merchant group in the Northlands, but in the end it’s just this?
In another carriage, a beautiful and moving lady was holding a three or four year old little loli, judging from the same silver hair, it was a pair of high value mother and daughter.
At this moment, the silver-haired lady who was the mother raised her head to look towards the outside of the carriage, then she lowered her head without any interest, patted the little loli, and continued to put her to sleep.
Cord had just returned with his two guards when he encountered Domi, who had come to ask for a favor. “Mr. Cord, why did the caravan stop suddenly, Lord Bryan is not happy about this!” In front of Brian’s lowly Duo Mi in the face of Cord showed quite impatient, but Cord didn’t dare to have the slightest bit of negligence, a mage apprentice is nothing, but the other side behind the station is a formal mage, but if they want to do something to the Hai Rui Chamber of Commerce, they have no power to resist, so they rushed to say.
“The village in front of us was slaughtered, so the caravan is preparing to turn around to avoid wherever.” Cord’s face was not good looking, although the Northland had become very chaotic recently, but the cruelty of slaughtering villages was still rare, after all, in the Northland the population represented a constant stream of wealth, no one would kill civilians at will, but once it happened, it meant that there was a group of vicious bandits or monsters nearby, which was never good news for the caravan.
Domi frowned, although he was dissatisfied, he was equally clear about what this represented, so he didn’t say anything more, he just told the caravan to depart as soon as possible, then he went back to report to his teacher.
“Slaughter the village.” Brian didn’t know what came to his mind, thoughtfully pulling the curtains of the carriage closed and falling into a deep thought.
For some reason, at this time, a chill arose in Domi’s heart, because he knew very well what the teacher’s experiment was, and at the same time, he also guessed what kind of inspiration the slaughter of the village in front of him would have for the teacher, and this was never a good sign.
Domi remembered a few apprentices who were also his teacher’s apprentices, but suddenly disappeared one day, he knew very well what had happened, and now that he was the only one left, maybe he should think of a way out.
After the caravan left in a detour, a monster came out of the wreckage-strewn village, after a scornful glance at the direction the caravan left, the monster turned to leave, it needed more blood and flesh, more killing, only then could it please that great being and gain more power, when that time came, it wouldn’t need to hide like a rat anymore.
For the rest of the journey, Cord had been careful, because this time the caravan was the biggest resource that the president could mobilize, once it failed, not to mention the position of the president, even the family would have to pay their respects, he had to be careful with his heavy responsibility.
Just he is not sure if the president’s method is effective, after all, that one is no longer a sixteen year old teenager, but a mature lord, will be sent to Missy also do not know whether it will be counterproductive.
That’s right, that pair of silver-haired mother and daughter were Owen’s mother and sister.
When Owen’s maternal grandfather, who was also the president of the Hare Chamber of Commerce, learned about the changes in the Hydra family’s territory from where Corde was, he didn’t hesitate to gamble everything.
Not only did he mobilize a large amount of supplies, but he also made full use of his own daughter, as expected of a businessman, for the sake of profit, everything is a bargaining chip that can be utilized.
Owen who knew nothing about this was testing his new golem, after he sent the bowler hat golem to Green Shade Town, he put on his consciousness remote projection glasses and somewhat rustily controlled the golem to stand up.
It was difficult, and if it hadn’t been for the puppeteer advancement, Owen would have had to consider creating tracks to replace the two legs.
As the mental power was placed, silk invisible threads spread around the puppet’s body, gradually taking control of all the parts, and its movements became flexible.
Picking it up and putting it down, the water cup remained intact, Owen was satisfied, next he could create a more refined puppet, even consider the issue of touch, then he would be able to add all sorts of accessories underneath, as for what purpose, of course, it was to go on a wave.
With the golem as a double, not having to worry about his life Owen could completely wave everywhere, while the main body only needed to stay in the safety of the castle, it was perfect.
