Chapter thirty-six burst
Section 36 Sudden
"...ah, is that the new prince? Well, there is no special feeling!"
"What do you mean? The leader of the Beiru people just calls himself the Grand Duke. This person is not enough to be the prince!"
"Oh, I think it's almost the same. What kind of king and grand duke are just nominal..."
Several strangers who looked well-dressed were discussing and walked towards Ashu Rufate. Ashu Rufate stretched out a hand and blocked it.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, can you ask me... Who is this person coming just now? Such a big formation?"
"This person named Little Grufiz is the leader of the Beiru people and the younger brother of Grand Duke Grufiz. They have just recently founded the country, and this is a formal sending envoys to ask for diplomatic relations."
At this moment, accompanied by local officials and guards, Little Grufiz was advancing along the street. Because he came along the river by yacht, he did not carry a mount. However, it would be nice to walk around the city. If you take a straight line from the dock area to the palace, it would not be a very long distance.
Little Grufiz was the first in the team, and he followed closely the woman Ash Rufate had noticed. As mentioned earlier, the woman wrapped half of her face with a scarf, but her eyes were big and shiny, and there was no crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. This alone was enough to prove that she was still a very young girl.
However, if someone looks at this group carefully, they will find that there seems to be some curious places. Little Grufiz is very close, while others are a little far away from them.
However, this is easy to understand. Because everyone - including Ashu Rufate and the officials of the Falcon City - took it for granted that the woman carrying the weapon was Little Grufiz's personal bodyguard. With Little Grufiz's current identity, it seems that it is not a special problem to have such a female guard, at least it will not make people suspicious.
In addition, Xiao Grufiz turned his head from time to time to look at the girl who looked very much like his guard, but there was a little nervousness in his expression. It was not the look of a master looking at his female bodyguard, but a servant looking at his mistress.
"Is this... the Eagle City? As the rumor is, it is a big and unscrupulous city." The girl walked and observed the surroundings and said quite unrestrained words. "Like a big trash can." The reason she said this was because she noticed that a small alley next to her was filled with garbage and smelled sour. Of course, according to the usual view, this seemed difficult to avoid for a busy commercial district.
"Miss Windbell... This is true for most cities in the world." Little Grufiz made a sound that seemed to be a sigh. "The Eagle Falcon City is already very good."
If someone hears this, he will definitely completely subvert the initial impression of the two people like "prince and his female guard". Because when a person calls others "sir" or "maid", he actually acknowledges that the other party has the same status, or at least the same status as him. This is not the name of a nobleman for his guard. Unfortunately, the two people speak very lightly and their distance is very close, so that the others cannot hear the conversation between them at all. Of course, even if they hear it, they will not say anything.
"I think so." The girl named Wind Chime replied.
Their schedule is not very tight. According to the common customs of the nations, Grufiz and his group will rest in the palace all day today to restore fatigue from the journey. Tomorrow, a formal meeting with the king - of course, now the Regent - will be held, along with a large-scale welcome banquet. After all these red tape ceremonies, Grufiz will negotiate with the Foreign Minister (if things are not very important) or the Regent (if things are more important). But then again, Grufiz only requested diplomatic relations this time, and there was no plan to sign trade agreements or military covenants. So it is probably the former.
"By the way, Miss Fengling, what were you watching on the dock just now?" Little Grufiz asked suddenly.
"Nothing...I just felt...some intuition." The girl replied. "I can't explain what that is, but I just felt something instinctively. Maybe it was my illusion."
While speaking, she suddenly turned around and looked in the direction she came. At the end of her vision, she could see the city gate pass again. Many people in the dock area just now walked into the city. There were too many people and the distance was too far, so she didn't see anything suspicious. In fact, she had observed it when she was in the dock area just now and found nothing.
Maybe I was suspicious. The girl turned her head and no longer wasted time. Instead, she followed Little Grufiz and walked along the street. Although they were walking, they were quite fast and soon, they could not see the gates of the dock area.
...
Ashu Rufate and Akin slowly returned to the city from the dock area.
The two people looked completely different. Ash Rufate didn't feel anything special - this kind of thing was completely unrelated to him, but Ajin looked happy because of this, and he looked overjoyed.
"Ajin, how happy are you?" Ashu Rufat asked.
"Hey, Ashu Rufate, you really lack the sensitivity of business... A new country establishes diplomatic relations, which means... a lot of business. Think about it, this is equivalent to a new business channel... Forget it, you don't understand this either."
Ashu Rufate felt that there was no need to discuss this issue at all, but he remembered another thing.
"By the way, Ajin, did Rotia ask you to help her?" To be honest, Ashu Rufate has lived here for a month, but he hasn't done anything yet - except for the money given away.
"Yes, she asked me to help her estimate and see the goods." Ajin replied.
"Assessment? Look at the goods?"
"The main thing is some jewelry. When she planned to sell it, she asked me to accompany me to help estimate the price and sell it at a better price. Finally, I asked me to go up and bargain with those people..." A Jin suddenly felt very emotional. " Speaking of which, Ms. Rotia is really a smart businessman. Her investment is really wise."
"Oh, I think she doesn't look like a businessman."
"You should not behave like a person. Ashu Rufat. Don't you think she has done a good deal?" Ajin turned his fingers and calculated. "She just provided me with a free accommodation, and got consulting services like an amazing businessman like me..."
"Awesome businessman?"
"Haha, although it's boasting," Ajin knew it was embarrassed. "But in this regard, I'm a little confident. I'm an expert in appreciating jewelry and antiques."
You have long since left the "magnificent" level. Ashu Rufate wanted to say this to Ajin, but in the end he felt that there was no need to say this. Ajin is already powerful enough now, and someone would say a few more words. The next time he sells things to Ashu Rufate, he probably intends to make 100% profit, not 50%.
"This is the essence of 'low cost, high return'." A Jin replied. "It requires a very keen eye. Speaking of which, even I am willing to give up on this. If it were me, I would not be able to chat with someone on the side of the road and provide a rent-free house. Even if I have that house, I have to carefully select the partner and estimate the value of the other party, and finally take action... In short, she is right to have a good vision."
Speaking of which, it seems like this is the first time I heard Ajin praise someone - the kind of praise that comes from the heart without a specific purpose.
"A Jin, you said she sells some...jewels?"
"In fact, it's quite a lot of jewelry." Ajin replied. "That woman is much richer than she seems. I sold her a good price, and she earned at least 10,000 gold orley more!"
"By the way, Ajin, why don't you discuss your money-making plans with Rotia?"
"Ha, of course, that's because she will definitely not be fooled..." Ajin realized that he had missed his mouth. He looked up at Ashu Rufate, who had a strange smile on his face. "Ah... Ashu Rufate, don't get me wrong, I mean..."
"I'm really the type who looks stupid and easy to cheat?" Ashu Rufate looked at Ajin with a fierce look.
"Actually, this is not the case, but you are a soldier-like smell... The soldiers are all stupid..." A Jin was anxious to explain. In a hurry, even A Jin was busy with mistakes, and the more he described it, he became darker and darker.
"Silly Big Head..." Ashu Rufate repeated the word in an incredible tone.
"Ah, I was wrong! Ashu Rufat, don't get me wrong. I mean... soldiers usually lack business sensitivity..."
"Anyway, it means big fat sheep. Slaughter whatever you want, right?"
"No, no, no, that's not how I understand it. I mean, although the soldiers are a little rough, they are all..."
"Mr. Ashu Rufate!" A voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the conversation. Then the two noticed a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy rushing over from the other side.
Usually, when two people talk to a third party, they will cause displeasure when they interrupt, but this time Ajin is very happy to have the opportunity to escape from this embarrassing situation.
"Mr. Ashurufat, and Mr. Akin, you are actually together, it's great!" The boy said while gasping for breath. "Ms. Rotia has something urgent to come to you."
"Look for us?" Ashu Rufat glanced at the boy and then looked at Ajin.
"That's right! Ms. Rotia said, please go to her shop immediately, the sooner the better."
"I want to ask..." Ashu Ruffat was still suspicious, but Ajin came to his senses first. "What happened? Rotia asked us both to come over at one time?"
"Well, a big trouble is happening!" The little boy obviously knew something. "I don't have time to explain in detail. Ms. Rotia needs the help of both of you."
