Many people thought he was crazy, because the invincibility of the Knox Empire made most people think that the war would end soon, but the facts once again proved that he won again.
The empire is indeed invincible, but the number of countries declaring war on them is increasing. In the end, the empire is in a state of war with almost all surrounding countries, so the price of arms begins to skyrocket.
With a huge weapons supply workshop, he was promoted to a Viscount by His Majesty the Emperor, and until now his Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce is still the largest arms supplier in the empire.
But even if he has the credit of supplying weapons to support the war, other nobles don't think it is an honor. After all, Knox's national style is more powerful, so the Loka family, which has never been on the battlefield, is often gossiped in private. .
.....
But so what?Karina has always been proud of her father and family, and they are also indispensable for providing arms to the empire.
But having this kind of family background does bring some troubles to the girl.
Although her parents and elder brother love him very much and let her have a mountain of clothes and toys, there is only one thing that she has never had.
That is friends.
It's not that she doesn't have playmates of the same age, nor has she been bullied or bullied.
Even every time she attended a tea party, Karina was always surrounded by groups of noble daughters.
But Karina knew they were not friends.
As a half-elf, she combines the delicate mind of an elf with the flexible mind of a human. She is very good at communicating and spotting lies.
This kind of talent made her immediately understand that those daughters and young masters didn't really want to be friends with her, and they only made friends with her for the money of Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce.
It's ridiculous, obviously looking down on the Luoka family, but everyone is desperately trying to please her for money.
Could it be that there are people who simply treat her as a friend not for money?
Gradually, she developed a mercenary character, and she preferred real gold coins to the illusory things of her friends.
This kind of thinking lasted for a long time, until her father came rushing to ask her to follow the business list of the Duke's mansion.
"Duke mansion?"
"That's right, it's the Duke of Falvin's mansion!"
"Are they rich?"
"Hehe! Honey, the Farvin family is much richer than ours. You must know that many of the ores in our chamber of commerce are purchased from them."
"Why did you take me there?"
Father seldom took her to do business, after all, every journey was very long, but this time he called her specifically, which was a bit strange.
"The Duke's family has a young master who is the same age as you. Don't you often complain that you can't make true friends? This is an opportunity. Their family doesn't like our little money."
Karina looked at her father suspiciously. After all, whenever his fat face smiled more kindly, then there must be something in his stomach.
But it is true that as my father said, Farwin's family is richer and higher in status than theirs, maybe...
With such anticipation and worry, she accompanied her father to Farvin's house.
The Duke of Farwin's mansion is indeed as rich as his father said. The house that is comparable to a castle alone is several times larger than her family's manor.
There, she met Du Wei.
It was a boy's voice full of vigor, and his face was as beautiful as Mrs Farwin's.
However, Karina knew that the boy in front of her was not simple. The smile on Du Wei's face made her a little confused, and he was immature with children of the same age.
Just when she was wondering whether she should take the initiative to get to know him, her father introduced her directly.
At that moment, Karina understood what her father meant. It was only superficial that he wanted her to make friends, and his real goal was probably to marry the two families.
snort!Then let her see if this young master is qualified to pass her own test.
"Would you like to go for a walk in the garden with me?"
Faced with Du Wei's invitation, although she was a little apprehensive, she still mustered up the courage to extend her hand to him.
This is where her love affair began.
......
Even after many years, Karina still kept the gold coins she accepted that day.
012 Life of the Rich!very nice
Now that Karina has left, Du Wei naturally has no reason to stay by the fish pond.
After looking at the merchandise display of the Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce, they are almost the same, and Viscount Roca seems to be introducing some merchandise to his parents.
"My lord father, my lord mother, I'm back."
For some reason, his parents looked at him mysteriously, which made Du Wei a little flustered.
Sao Bao's father even gave him a thumbs up and whispered, "As expected of my son."
When Du Wei saw Karina hiding behind the Viscount with a flushed face and peeking here, he was sure that something had happened.
"Ahem, isn't Aunt Edith buying something?"
Since it was difficult to explain why he just molested Karina, he simply changed the subject.
Mei Ye smiled lightly
"Honey, have you forgotten that your Aunt Edith is a dragon?"
"Huh? Oh, I see."
At first, Du Wei felt that his mother's words were a little inexplicable, but he soon understood the meaning.
Every dragon has the attribute of being greedy for money, although Aunt Edith usually seems to be indifferent by nature.
But her boudoir is full of expensive decorations such as precious gold and jewelry. Her big bed made of pure yellow is the best example.
Du Wei wanted to sneak in more than once to deduct a few yuan, but he still held back thinking about the risk of possible exposure.
Generally, there are only two ways for dragons to obtain items, one is to grab them directly, and the other is to collect tribute...
In fact, it is similar to grabbing, but it sounds nicer, so the concept of bartering expenditure in human society does not apply to giant dragons.
Making dragons pay for shopping sounds like a joke in itself, so Edith has someone pay for it while she visits the Chamber of Commerce.
Howard tapped him on the shoulder
"Son, go pick what you want."
"Okay, my father."
Du Wei just wanted to turn his head to pick out clothes, but soon thought of a very important thing, he had been cheated out of all his pocket money.
"Father, my pocket money is not enough, can I advance some money?"
"Pocket money?"
Howard seemed to have heard some joke.
"Hahahaha, just buy it if you like it, if you don't want it for me! Our family has a lot of money,"
Suddenly, Du Wei felt a wave of embarrassment rushing towards his face. Is this the life of the rich?
"...I understand."
He once again sighed in his heart about the good fortune in this life. In his previous life, drinking soda when he was a child was like celebrating a festival.
With such complicated emotions, Du Wei walked into the display site.
"It always feels like coming to a market."
It's just that this market only serves the Farwin family.
Du Wei took a general look and found that Viscount Loka brought a lot of goods this trip.
There are countless types ranging from sofa furniture to stationery and paper. Among them, the most novel thing for Du Wei is the booth displaying alchemy products.
Du Wei pointed to the dirt ball on the table
"What is this? Clay?"
"Master Du Wei, this is a magic clay puppet. Just stuff the magic crystal into the soil, and the clay will automatically become a clay puppet."
Under the demonstration of the staff of the Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce, a palm-sized clay doll stood on the table.
Du Wei stared at the clay puppet in surprise, "Oh oh oh! So what can it do?"
The staff explained patiently
"It can perform some performances to entertain the owner during the spare time of reading or working."
Hmm...Is it a toy after making a fuss for a long time?Useless rubbish, he thought it was a battle puppet.
By the way, speaking of puppets, Du Wei thought of a special creature in MC, the Iron Giant!
It looks like a three-meter-high, burly giant robot.
Players can use four iron bricks and a pumpkin to make something, which can be used to guard the house and drive away monsters, and it has high defense power.
Remember to buy some ore and pumpkins later.
Du Wei pointed to another item on the table, "Then what is this thing that looks like a book cover?"
"This is a floating book cover. After putting it on the book, the book will automatically float in front of you."
The staff neatly put the book into the cover, and then the book miraculously floated in mid-air.
Du Wei looked at the book floating up and down in front of him, and thought that there were only two words, garbage!
Who thought of such a one-up-down design?Ghosts can read words clearly!
This is completely a junk invention that alchemists don't want.
After looking at other alchemy products one by one, Du Wei was very disappointed with the profession of alchemist. Why did he produce some inexplicable things?Are these people fed enough?
All of them took off their pants and farted, props of unknown meaning.
But that being said, Du Wei still bought one of each of these rags, hoping to study the principle in the future.
After all, some props of MC are not available in this world, so he needs to find some substitutes.
After shopping around, Du Wei came to the booth in charge of clothing sales.
"Are these the only clothes you brought?"
The staff at the reception smiled flatteringly while rubbing their hands, "Master Du Wei, are you not satisfied with the clothes on the shelf?"
That's right!He is very dissatisfied!It's all pompous high-end dresses, and he doesn't have any clothes he wants. Does he really have to buy cloth and make it himself?This is too much trouble.
correct?I don't know if it is possible to order here?
"Do you have a tailor and fabric with you?"
staff nodding
"Yes, yes, do you want to order clothes?"
"Well, that's right."
"Wait a moment, I'm going to invite the tailor from the chamber of commerce."
It seems that the Chamber of Commerce has long expected that there will be custom-made situations. After all, in order to avoid conflicts with other people, most of the nobles spend a lot of money to order special styles.
Du Wei also reminded, "Remember to bring me a piece of paper and a pen."
Du Wei didn't want to order gorgeous clothes, he wanted to wear more comfortable casual clothes.
So he decided to draw the design himself. Anyway, the T-shirt is just a few lines, so he can draw it no matter how poor his artistic skills are.
The invited tailor from the chamber of commerce looked at the pattern on the paper suspiciously.
"Master Du Wei, are you sure this is the style you want?"
"That's right, I don't want any gorgeous lace or decorations, I just want it to be as simple as in the drawings, the better, by the way, the fabric should be a little more breathable."
"Here, please forgive me for being rude, this kind of clothing is not suitable for you to attend public occasions."
The tailor said it was very conservative, and Du Wei guessed that he thought that this style was more like the clothes of civilians or even slaves.
Du Wei waved his hand, "It's okay, just do it, anyway, I just dress casually at home."
"Then I understand, please let me measure the size for you first."
The tailor of the Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce is very professional, and the finished T-shirt he asked for was made in a few strokes.
