Celestial Mage

Chapter 245 Young man, I will bet on you (14)

Riverside Town, White Rock Castle, Hexagon Hall.

As soon as he heard his daughter Lina Delin's words, Du Meng's slightly messy beard twitched slightly after being slapped, and half of the aura that had been gathered just now was vented.

He quickly mumbled: "Lily, you are still my dear daughter after what you said."

Lina Delin angrily said: "But the elder sister didn't do anything, and the elder brother-in-law even killed the younger brother, but you still want to protect him!"

"My husband and I just want to do some business with Master Rosen and earn some money to subsidize our family, but you still want to make trouble for us!"

"Father, you are really partial!"

"Uh~~~"

Du Meng fidgeted in embarrassment, not knowing how to respond to his daughter's questioning.

To be honest, he felt guilty towards Lina Delin, the second daughter, because she married an unreliable husband who only knew how to use money to subsidize his younger sister.

As a result, they have been living in a dark, damp and cramped old-fashioned castle, and their lives are very poor.

Of course, this 'struggle' is compared to other lords.

Vivian also said: "Mr., if you ask me, you should not support Fubosi, but you should support Xia Bolai!"

After she said this, Du Meng immediately found a way to fight back.

He glared at Vivienne angrily: "My Lily's life is not good, and it's not because of it."

Vivian immediately stopped him. She looked aggrieved, her mouth shrunk, and she began to complain.

"Old man, I found that you are very ruthless. I just rubbed medicine on you to relieve your pain, but now you are staring at me!"

'uh~~'

Du Meng's aura that had just built up was vented again, and he raised his hand to touch the face that had almost subsided from the swelling, and gave a dry laugh.

"Of course I acknowledge your love, but what you have done these years is really outrageous."

"Yes, I admit it's outrageous, but tell me, every time you ask me to buy medicine, which time I didn't sell it to you cheaply? Didn't I always give you the best medicine?"

"Well, that's right."

Lena Delin felt worried when she heard this.

"Buying medicine? Father, are you sick? Serious or not!"

When asked by his daughter, Du Meng immediately showed an extremely embarrassing expression, his cheeks twitched uncontrollably, and it seemed that even his teeth began to ache.

He didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only cough to cover up his embarrassment.

Lyderina couldn't sit still, she got up and walked to her father, reaching out and patting her father's back lightly.

"Father, why are you coughing so badly? Is there something wrong with your lungs?"

"Cough~~cough~yes~Father, my lungs have not been very good these years, and I can't help coughing."

"Is that serious?"

Feeling his daughter's concern from the bottom of his heart, Du Meng felt warm in his heart, and couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.

"The second daughter is more caring. Since the eldest daughter married Fubosi, every time she goes home, she is arrogant and wants to step on my father's head."

So, his tone softened, and he comforted his daughter slowly.

"I went to the temple to see it. The priest said, it's not a serious illness, it's okay, it's just that I can't sleep well due to coughing."

"It just so happened that Vivienne had medicine for coughing, so I bought some from her, and the effect was really good. After drinking it, I stopped coughing and slept comfortably."

While speaking, he winked at Vivienne again and again, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

Vivian shrugged, with a threatening expression on her face that if you don't cooperate, I won't cooperate either.

Du Meng showed bitterness on his face, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he went all out. He reached out and grabbed his daughter's hand, and heaved a long sigh.

"Lily~ Let me be honest, I'm not sick. I didn't buy medicine for coughing either."

Lena Delin was startled: "Ah, what kind of medicine is that?"

Vivienne was also taken aback, and was greatly surprised: "This old man is so self-sufficient that he can go all out. I don't know what kind of ecstasy Fubosi gave him."

She knew that her coercion method had failed, so she would be embarrassing, so she immediately helped to smooth things over.

"It's actually a medicine for strengthening the body. The old man is getting older and his energy is not as good as before. He always likes to sleep, so he asked me to buy medicine to refresh himself."

"It's not very useful, it just makes the body stronger and more energetic."

Lidlina was dubious: "Father, is it true?"

Du Meng heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Vivienne gratefully, nodded and said, "Vivienne is right, that's how it is."

"Your father and I are just getting old. It's no big deal to drink some medicine to nourish ourselves."

Ridrina looked carefully at her father's face, saw that his eyes were bright, his face was rosy, and his figure was still tall and strong. He did not look like he was seriously ill, so she was completely relieved and returned to her seat.

As a result, Vivienne's offensive was temporarily defeated.

Without the threat, Du Meng's thoughts became clearer.

He said softly to his daughter: "Lily, father still loves you and knows that your family is in financial difficulties."

"Well, when you go back this time, your father will prepare a rich gift for you, so that you don't have to worry about money for several years."

"When this is over, and Phobos becomes an earl, things will be all right."

When her father got to this point, Lena Delin opened her mouth, but couldn't think of anything to say.

As a result, the Dafa of family affection also retreated.

As for Baron Moreau, it was even more useless, so the task of persuasion finally returned to Rosen.

Rosen smiled, and started with a trick.

He took out an arcane coin and threw it to Baron Dumont: "Old man, what is this?"

Du Meng took it and looked it over, and was immediately taken aback, his eyes widened.

"Australian gold coins in the east? Are you doing such a big business in the east?"

He also has some business in the Eastern Territory, well, it's not a business, but he bought a few properties and rented them out for rent.

It’s been almost 20 years since I bought the house. I haven’t earned back the money I bought the house back then, so I feel like I’ve been taken advantage of by buying a house for free for Dongjing people.

It's not that he doesn't want to do serious business, but the people in the East are as shrewd as goblins, and after losing a few times, he becomes numb.

Today, Rosen has made great achievements that he dare not imagine in a field that he can't reach, but at the same time, he wants to join. This makes him feel very envious and sincerely admired.

Of course, there is also a lot of jealousy.

Rosen carefully observed Du Meng's expression, and combined with Patsy's information, he roughly guessed what he was thinking.

He smiled slightly: "Old man, my business is bigger than you imagined, because the person who gave me the gold coin is the third daughter of the Duke of Storms, Princess Heyajiali."

Du Meng was shocked: "It turned out to be her?"

Rosen smiled.

"His Royal Highness gave me a bag of gold coins, and said that she wants to cooperate for a long time in the future. If I do a good job, the annual trade volume may reach 50 kroner."

Bragging, it's natural to blow it up, anyway, Du Meng has no ability to confirm it.

Du Meng was shocked again: "50 crowns?! What are you buying?"

His annual income from the territory is only 6 crowns, and the other party doubles his income by more than ten times, which is really enviable.

"That's a lot of work. The main one is to buy the petrified staff I made, so that I can take it back to the east to build a house."

Du Meng didn't understand: "Petrochemical staff? Build a house?"

Lena Delin immediately explained carefully for her father.

But having said that, she was actually a little confused, because wasn't the petrification technique just invented?
How can you get the approval of the Princess of the East and open a trade volume of 50 crowns a year?
But if you don't believe me, Rosen said it seriously, and not everyone took out these gold coins, and they were usually used by nobles like dukes and marquises.

After she finished explaining, Du Meng immediately realized the effect of this petrified construction technique on him.

"Can your petrification technique be used to build dams?"

"Of course it works."

"Well, that's really a good thing. A good thing."

He secretly made up his mind, planning to quietly send someone to Crescent Town to steal one back, and then find a master craftsman to crack it, and then use it for himself.

Rosen saw his thoughts clearly and smiled slightly.

"Old man, my petrification technique is equipped with my original spell lock, which is very, very difficult to crack, even Her Royal Highness can't do it, praise me for how powerful the spell lock is."

Du Meng was surprised: "No way, even the princess can't crack it?"

The princess has more mages under her command than she has sheep.

The princess can't help it, so naturally he is even more useless.

Rosen nodded: "Do you think, if the princess can crack it, will Baba give me 50 kroner a year? This is 50 kroner, not [-]!"

There is a lot of truth in this.

Rosen smiled and said, "You must think I'm lying, but let me tell you the truth. In this petrification technique, I have applied a large number of my original and advanced flow counting techniques. As for the flow count, I am absolutely in the golden land. at the second level."

"The first two, what about the other one?"

Du Meng suddenly had a glimmer of hope, and decided to find a way to invite the second flow master to help.

"Of course it's the wife who co-created the stream with me."

The hope that Du Meng had just emerged was completely extinguished again.

But he has been the lord for so many years, so he is not so easy to deceive.

I just thought this was incredible, nine out of ten it was made up by Rosen to fool him.

Seeing his suspicious eyes, Rosen immediately took out the second big killer that he had prepared.

"Oh, by the way, the princess even asked me to draw a custom painting for her, saying that it will be exhibited at the birthday party."

While speaking, Rosen took out a picture of the princess riding a horse from his pocket.

"It's human nature for you to doubt my words. But this unique spell photo in the Eastern Realm is enough to prove the authenticity of my words."

He handed the picture to Du Meng.

After Du Meng took a look, he couldn't move his eyes away. After watching for 3 minutes, he let out a long sigh.

"Worthy of being a princess of the Eastern Realm, this style, this demeanor, this face, this posture. Tsk tsk tsk~~tsk tsk tsk~"

He was speechless, which aroused the curiosity of others.

So, the Moreaus and Vivian got up to look at the picture in Du Meng's hand.

After taking a look, Lord Mo Luo praised: "Sure enough, Her Royal Highness only has a demeanor, and I and other mortals really can't match it."

Lidelina and Vivienne didn't speak, but their eyes were fixed on the picture and couldn't move away, obviously they were greatly attracted by the person in the picture.

Only then did Rosen get to the point.

"Mr., my business with the Princess of the Eastern Realm will only grow bigger and bigger, and the supplies I bought from the Eastern Realm will pass through your territory, and you will naturally benefit greatly."

"Of course you can find ways to obstruct it for Fubosi's sake, but please think about it, with Fubosi's temperament, how much benefit can it give the Dumont family?"

"Please also think about it, if you get the support of my petrochemical construction technique, how much will your territory reduce the loss due to flooding?"

"Finally, I heard that you have many children, and the fifth youngest daughter, Cassandrine, is still unmarried. Why can't you marry this youngest daughter to Xia Bolai?"

"After all, Xia Bolai hasn't married a wife yet."

"In this way, no matter who is in power, the Du Meng family can continue to prosper, can't it?"

As soon as the call was over, Baron Dumont was greatly moved.

His bushy beard trembled and his eyes rolled around, showing his agitated mood.

It took a while before his eyes refocused on Rosen, but emotion was already written on his face.

"Master Rosen, I have to say, you really have such a sharp tongue, you almost convinced me."

But then he let out a long sigh: "Then I will say a word, as long as Xia Bolai agrees to marry Cassandrine, I will fully support him!"

Rosen smiled slightly: "I've always heard that the five daughters of the old man are as beautiful as fairies in the sky. As long as the old man is willing to marry a daughter, Xia Bolai will definitely jump into the sky happily. There is absolutely no reason to refuse."

"I'm not afraid that Chaplet will refuse, but I'm afraid that the count will be unhappy."

As the great lord of the highlands, the earl had to coordinate the interests of the major families. It was basically impossible for two Omisian children to marry the daughters of the same family.

But Rosen also has a way to bypass the earl's obstruction.

He immediately gave a solution.

"That's a question, but you can cook the raw potatoes first, and get the earl's nod."

"How is it cooked?"

"For example, give birth to a child for Xia Bolai first, and the count will nod if he doesn't."

It's okay for Chapolei to make an ordinary girl's belly bigger, it's just an extra illegitimate child.

If you mess with the big baron's daughter's belly, you must give an explanation!
"."

The nobles in the Hexagonal Hall were all dumbfounded. Isn't this an indiscriminate means of rascals?

This is too disrespectful!
Rosen spread his hands: "It's a bit despicable, but it's definitely effective, isn't it?"

Lord Moreau hesitated: "This."

I haven't said anything for a long time, and I feel that this matter is outrageous, but it can indeed be done.

Seeing that everyone couldn't accept it, Luo Sen knew that this matter greatly challenged the tradition, so he immediately changed his elegant statement.

He slowly described in a soft and gentle voice.

"On a sunny afternoon, the two young people accidentally met in the garden. When they looked at each other, they fell in love at first sight. They believed that each other was a soul mate for a lifetime."

"So the love blossomed, and I couldn't help it. I accidentally condensed the crystallization of life. Although it violated the etiquette, it was still a romantic story."

"Even a god would not have the heart to separate this couple, let alone the earl?"

"Am I right, old sir?"

Dumont immediately looked at Rosen with admiration.

"You're really good, kid. No wonder you can do such a big business with people from the East! I'm going to bet on you with your nimble head."

"You let Xia Bolai come to my territory, and I will arrange for him to meet my daughter."

Rosen immediately suggested: "It's better to go to Lord Moro's Fanggu Town, just say to visit my sister, and Chapolei also happened to visit Lord Moro."

"Well, this is indeed more reasonable, then do as you say."
