"Your Highness, someone from the Changge family wants to see you."

At the Rose Manor, a beautiful figure standing by the window holding a childlike seven-colored bamboo dragonfly, illuminated by the cool moonlight, slowly turned his head.

He looked at his maid with some surprise.

"The Changge family? Didn't they find the traces to unlock the curse? Why did they suddenly come to me?"

Although Loran City was built by the Loran family, after thousands of years of development, it has also attracted large and small forces to settle in.

The Changge family is also a grand ducal family. Although it is low-key, in terms of real strength, it is the only family that can compare with the Roland family.

Because Grand Duke Changge is also an extraordinary person.

Although she was not well-known, she was promoted to the extraordinary level before her father.

No one who is extraordinary is easy to deal with.

If not for the family curse, the Changge family might have already left Luolan City and built their own main city.

Thinking of this, I feel a little emotional.

Who could have thought that such a powerful force as the Changge family would fall into despair because of a curse.

Without descendants, the family has no hope.

No matter how great the power is, it will vanish into thin air.

"Your Highness, didn't they explain why they came and needed to see me?"

"Let's meet."

"Yes"

A moment later, a lady wearing high riding boots, a black robe and with a cold face appeared in the house.

When he saw Philena, he bowed respectfully with his hands on his chest.

"Good night, Her Highness Philena."

"No need to be polite."

After she stood up, the lady in black robe looked at her for a few seconds with some emotion in her eyes.

"I didn't expect you to reach level 18 so quickly. Perhaps it won't be long before the Luolan family welcomes its second extraordinary person."

One door, two extraordinary things!

How powerful is this?

After being promoted to the extraordinary level, lifespan will be greatly increased.

Grand Duke Loran is in his prime and has at least a hundred years to live if the Loran family's bloodline is passed on.

Perhaps in my lifetime, I will be able to see the third extraordinary person appear.

It's really enviable.

The Changge family is in no way inferior to the Loran family, and Miss Wen Na's talent is also amazing enough.

It’s a pity that the damn curse limits all of this.

"Ms. Gloria, you're joking. It's rare for someone from the Changge family to come to me, but what's the matter?"

The lady in black robe regained her composure and her eyes became serious.

"Your Highness, may I ask if you know Lord Lear?"

Hearing this, Philena's eyes suddenly fixed, and the long hair in her head seemed to float in the water, appearing quiet and mysterious under the moonlight.

His originally relaxed expression took on a hint of coldness as he looked at the other person with scrutinizing eyes.

"That's my people, the Changge family, what do you think?"

The lady in black robe immediately felt tremendous pressure, as if an ancient dragon was staring at her.

Although her level was even higher than the opponent, she knew that she was far from being his opponent.

Even this Flower of the North had a horrifying record of killing a level 16 creature alone when she was level 19.

After calming down, his eyes looked a little subtle.

The other party's attitude
Mr. Lear is indeed extraordinary, to be so valued by this rising star of the empire.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to protect the other person directly without even asking anything.

"Your Highness, don't misunderstand. Lord Lear rescued Ackerman from the Bruno family outside the city. He is our friend."

"Ackerman took Lord Lear to the Crystal Heart today."

Philena stared at her calmly, and her grip on the bamboo dragonfly loosened a little.

"so what?"

The lady in black robe said in a deep voice.

"Lord Lear is looking for a magic crystal ball from underground. This treasure happens to be in the Crystal Heart."

"Miss Winna heard the purpose of Mr. Lear's visit and gave him this treasure as a gift."

"Afterwards, Lord Li Er said he wanted to send a return gift, and then he personally took action to suppress the curse in the young lady's body!"

When he said this, his voice trembled a little.

For countless years, the Changge family has been looking for a way to lift the curse.

But they didn’t get much results. But today, they saw hope!!

There was some surprise in Philena's eyes.

"He can actually suppress the curse of the Changge family?"

She had a relatively clear idea of ​​how much effort the Changge family had put in to break the curse.

The Grand Duke was away from Loran City almost all year round, and he was also busy with this matter.

Unexpectedly, this difficult problem was solved by the young man.

I inexplicably felt a sense of relief and honor in my heart.

You are worthy of being my friend, Sir Lear.

"That's right, but now Lord Lear has informed us that he is not strong enough to remove the curse."

"I came here this time because I saw that Lord Li Er was wearing a rose bracelet. I wanted to ask you about its information and how to quickly improve his strength."

After saying this, the lady in black robe curled up her lips slightly when she saw this Flower of the North who was rude to outsiders.

The mood seems to be very good.

Is there anything to be happy about?
she doesn't understand
"Did Lord Lear say anything?"

"He said that his strength can be increased by unconventional means."

Philena narrowed her eyes slightly, thought of the unique aura she had sensed, and nodded slowly.

"Since he said so, it must be true. You don't have to force it. Since he promised you, he will not break his promise."

The lady in black robe was silent.

After a moment, with some pleading.

"Can you tell me something about Mr. Lear?"

Philena said softly.

"I guess you've already gone to the Ninth District to inquire."

"I know, perhaps not much more than you do."

The lady in black robe was a little surprised.

I don’t understand. Why would the bracelet that you treasure so much appear on the other person’s wrist?

Why did you come forward to bail someone out without asking any questions?
"I only know that Lord Lear is a trustworthy person."

"You can ask Jasmine for the rest."

Philena looked at the other party's puzzled expression and did not want to talk about sex anymore. She waved her hand and asked her maid to communicate with the other party.

She turned around and went straight to the window.

He fiddled with the colorful bamboo dragonfly that was full of childish fun, with a smile on his face.

This behavior was a bit rude, but since it was Princess Luolan, the lady in black robe did not dare to complain at all.

The other party's willingness to meet her was already giving face to the Changge family.

Otherwise, even if the other grand dukes came in person, they might not be able to set foot in the Rose Manor.

The rising star of the empire is not as simple as it seems.

Soon, after learning a lot of information about Lear from Jasmine, the lady in black robe was a little confused.

The descendant of a fallen baron family fell into living in the slums, and in order to inherit the title, he became a pioneer lord.

And after just a few months, he had a level 15 great demon and a level 16 flying dragon as his subordinates, and he could suppress curses that even extraordinary people were helpless against.

She was even given a bracelet woven by Philena, the eldest princess of Loran City.
Is this really something a teenager with this background could do?
Then I thought of the figure wearing a blood-red crown, majestic and solemn, full of the aura of a superior, but with a face that was shockingly young.

I just feel that there are endless mysteries hidden in the other person.

"Ms. Jasmine, thank you for letting me know. This is a small gift. I hope you like it."

A silver ring appeared in his hand and was handed over.

Jasmine knew that this was a wealthy man, so she accepted it without hesitation.

After the other party left, he walked behind Philena.

"Your Highness, she is gone."

As he said this, he thought of the shock on the black-robed lady's face and felt a little touched.

"Tell me, what did Lord Lear gain in the wilderness, and why has there been such a big change?" Philena turned around and said slowly.

"Does it matter?"

Jasmine was stunned for a moment, thinking of the car full of roses that had made His Highness happy for a long time, and then she fell silent.

With this attitude, it doesn't seem to matter what the other person has experienced.

No matter what the other party obtained, it didn't seem so exaggerated to the Loran family.

Without paying any more attention to the other person, Philena looked up at the sky.

She suddenly became interested in the wilderness. Perhaps she could take some time to visit Lord Lear's territory?

After Li Er came out of the Crystal Heart, he went straight back to the White Crow Chamber of Commerce.

Holding the blue magic ball in his hand, he couldn't wait to return to his territory.

If we train all the night elves, won’t this wave be secure?

A 4-star potential soldier with a maximum level of 15!
The underground world is about to be opened up, and it is a good opportunity for the night elves to serve as pioneers.

Delicious.

The first and fourth of the four special intelligence refreshes this time include the Wrathful Spirit that allows the Shadow of the Mist to be upgraded to level 4, and the blue magic ball that contains the secret method for the Night Elves to be promoted. Both are already in hand.

There are two left - use the silver mask to open the bloody arena.

He was very interested in this relic, but the level of the person who opened it was the upper limit for other entrants, and the more people who entered, the greater the benefits for the final winner.

This forced him to think about how to maximize his benefits.

Moreover, there is no rush to open this relic, so we can wait and see.

His attention was focused on the second piece of special information - the shadow wandering in Loran City would appear in front of the third store in the second block at 11 am on November 4th.

The information updated on October 10th contains a detailed introduction to Shadow:

A shadowy figure has recently appeared in Loran City. He will trade with the first person he meets every day. As long as he can bring something that interests him, he can buy any treasure from him.

He rarely saw the intelligence system refresh the same information.

I calmed down and decided to check the situation tomorrow.

It was already evening when Lear returned to the Chamber of Commerce, and he just happened to meet the managers of two shops coming back to report on their work.

After yesterday's fermentation, the reputation of the Wei Lu City armor began to spread among the mercenaries.

The affordable price of two hundred gold coins attracted the interest of a large number of mercenaries.

The two stores were immediately sold out.

The remaining 2,000-plus sets of armor were all sold out today.

As a result, his wealth exceeded 60 gold coins in just a few days.

Some middle-class nobles could not even raise this amount by selling their property.

There are also gaps among the nobles.

With money in hand, he was not worried. The slaves that Lear had ordered in the slave market before were a considerable expense.

Now I don’t have to worry about not being able to pay the bills.

He encouraged the two store managers strongly and took out 500 gold coins to reward all the staff of the Chamber of Commerce.

An ordinary worker in Loran City could only earn five or six gold coins after a year of hard work. There were only about thirty people in the White Crow Chamber of Commerce, so this wave of rewards was already generous enough.

We cannot discuss the funds from selling weapons with ordinary people. One modern artillery shell can earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. It takes an ordinary person many years to earn enough to afford one shell.

Watching several people leave happily, Lear was in a very good mood.

The blacksmith shop that he had spent so much effort to build finally did not disappoint him.

All these outputs will be transformed into nutrients to continuously nourish the City of Wei Lu.

Although the sale was quick, Lear still gave Brando some advice.

"We have a limited amount of equipment output, so it's best to maintain a certain amount of sales every day."

“Controlling the quantity is key.”

“Don’t have a few days of explosive sales and then stop selling for a long time.”

"While selling equipment, our store can also sell other items."

"Equipment can earn us a profit, so why can't other things? Don't be disdainful of goods with ordinary profits just because you have tasted huge profits."

"As long as it is managed properly, the equipment can be used as a tool to attract customers and drive sales of other goods at the same time."

Brando was stunned when he heard this, and after he came to his senses, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

"Sir, I was blinded by the huge profits and lost my mind."

“That’s the judgment I should have made.”

Anyone would go crazy for such a transaction where one could earn hundreds of gold coins just by selling one piece of equipment.

Huge profits can devour people's hearts.

Lear waved his hand.

"In the future, Wei Lu City will produce other goods. Don't run our shop as a store that only sells one kind of goods."

The delicious dragon blood red fish is already being farmed on a large scale and can definitely become the second blockbuster product.

As long as the planting of honey-producing pitcher plants continues to expand, they can also become a pillar industry.

These are all commodities with high returns.

Even if the profits earned are not as much as those from equipment trade, they are still far more than those from ordinary goods.

Brando straightened his back.

"Your will is above all else! The White Crow Chamber of Commerce will resolutely implement all your arrangements!"

Li Er waved his hand, not wanting to say more on this topic, and changed the subject.

"Send someone to the second block to find the address of the third store. We need to be there before eight tomorrow morning."

Do enough preparation in advance to avoid the embarrassment of not being able to find the way.

Brando nodded and immediately arranged for someone to go.

Nothing happened that night. The next day was November 11th.

Lear got up while it was still dark.

At the same time, they woke up Brando, took a few young and agile members of the Chamber of Commerce, and headed directly to the second block.

Blocks 1 to 5 are very close to the center of Lorain City, and the residents there are either rich or noble.

Even though it was still dark, there were still many guards on the road.

This was in stark contrast to the situation in Block 7 where not a single patrol officer could be seen for half a day.

There were several rounds of inspections along the way, and Lear directly asked Brando to hand over the token of the Bruno family.

This marquisate's family was quite influential in the military, and the guards immediately let him go after verifying his authenticity.

The third shop.
Lear looked at the empty streets, unable to figure out the exact layout.

"Where is the third store?"

Brando said repeatedly.

"The two outermost streets are where shops gather. The residential area is inside. The third shop is to your east."

Lear nodded and let him lead the way.

After a while, it stopped in front of a shop with its door closed.

There is the name of the shop on it, and a 3 mark.

Arrived!

Lear was slightly delighted.

Turn around and look at the people around you.

"Spread out in all directions. No outsiders are allowed to approach after 7:50. Take the Bruno family's emblem and token."

"Yes!"

A few people dispersed and stood guard in the surroundings.

Lear stood at the door of the shop, waiting for time to pass.
The sky gradually brightened, the light penetrated the clouds, and an orange fireball slowly rose from the other side of the city.

The entire city of Loran was covered with a layer of fiery red veil.

People began to appear on the streets and the city gradually woke up.

As the time gradually approached 8 o'clock, several Chamber of Commerce members began to block passers-by.

The people in this area are either rich or noble, and few of them have good tempers.

But Brando still gritted his teeth, withstood the pressure, and used the emblem token in his hand to forcibly block it.

Coupled with the intimidation from the Swamp Giant Deer King, several passers-by who were obviously of unusual status turned around and left, suppressing their anger.

But he didn't go far, he went straight to look for the guard
Time finally reached the hour as Brando felt extremely tormented.

At this moment, ripples appeared in the space in front of Lear, and a shadow whose specific appearance could not be seen clearly emerged.

At the same time, a unique breath made his heart beat wildly.

The swamp godhead in my mind exudes a brilliant light.

Is this the breath of the gods? !

Damn, didn’t God say that He would not show up easily? How come He always encounters these beings wherever He goes? (End of this chapter)
