Chapter 69 Goodbye Lin Ria
The whole empire's strangulation of the elf slave plunder team is in full swing. Arcado participates in various banquets and parties in the upper class of the imperial capital. The whole Caen is full of favor of this respected and generous marquis; of course, the merchants who make money from the slave plundering team are not counted.
"Remember that the Duke of Pampas and the Duke of Dolos are not compatible and cannot bribe at the same time." Arcado attended a court banquet and ordered his men to record it as soon as he returned to the rented marquis's house.
"Bishop Tut, the Archbishop of the Meuse, bribed 10,000 gold coins today. It remains to be seen whether he can influence the decision of the Meuse." One by one, Arcado continued to say.
"Count Jack is dissatisfied with policies such as slave plunder in the Holy Empire and can incite it when needed. All right, that's all. Sort it out. Arcado finally said.
"Report to the master, a housekeeper outside asked for a meeting, saying that it was sent by Count Lin. If you are free, please go to his house for dinner." The housekeeper came in and reported.
"Hahaha." A cardo's eyes flashed with anger and disappeared in an instant. He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled and said to the housekeeper, "This dinner is not cheap."
"Then I'll go out and refuse him." The housekeeper gave a salute, turned around and was ready to go outside.
"slowly." Arcado stopped him, raised his hand and said, "Prepare the carriage. I'll go there and have an expensive dinner, hehe."
More than a dozen black armor morale turned over. Under the leadership of Dick, Arkado's carriage ran all the way to Count Lin's mansion, confusing the Lin's housekeeper who wanted to lead the way in front of him. Could this great aristocrat who came to the holy city for the first time recognize the way to Count Lin's mansion?
He chased all the way back to Count Lin's mansion and walked in with Arcado, who had been waiting outside the door. Acado took Dick behind him, and the rest of the soldiers stayed outside the door as usual.
Soon Arcado was taken to the living room of Lin's family. At this time, the servants in the living room had already prepared delicious food. When Count Lin Feng, who was sitting in the first place, saw the guests, he hurriedly got up to greet them.
"I have heard that Marquis Rudolph is young and successful. Today, it lives up to its reputation." Lin Feng said with a smile on his face.
"Oh, Count Lin Feng, are you in such a hurry to ask me to come just to compliment me?" Arcado stood there, not looking at Lin Feng, but playing with a ruby ring in his hand. The blood-like color reminded Arcado of his experience many years ago.
"Well, talk slowly, talk slowly, come on, Marquis, please sit down, please sit down." Lin Feng didn't know which sentence he said wrong, so he quickly recovered the atmosphere with a smile.
Acardo didn't say much. He went straight to a favorite position and sat down, but the position he chose was a little far from the main position of Count Lin Feng. Behind him, Dick stood behind the chair and stared at Lin Feng with his spare light.
"hehe." With an awkward smile, Lin Feng walked back to the main position and sat down and said, "Cheers to the recent rise of the marquis." After saying that, he raised his glass.
"Cheers to those days that I dare not forget!" Arcado then raised his glass, but there was no atmosphere of joy. He said strangely, and did not wait for Count Lin Feng to dry the wine in the glass. But I thought strangely that it would be good to be poisoned in front of Lin Ria by poisoned alcohol.
However, Lin Feng talked to Arcado to cooperate. It was obviously impossible to have a glass of poisoned wine. At this time, Lin Feng also found that Arcado was not in a good mood and did not dare to speak. After drinking the wine in the glass, he waited for Arcado to speak first.
"Your Excellency, I know why you are looking for me. I won't make you so urgent in terms of power. The only thing I can handle is money. Then Count Lin Feng, tell me what you ask me to do. I don't have time to stay long." After taking a bite of the delicious food in front of him, Arcado put down his mood and said casually. I think that Lin Ria has forgotten herself. She is 23 years old and should have married long ago. At least she has been engaged to other people. She has dispersed and drifted away. For so many years, she has been the only emperor who has been unable to give up in her heart. Nostalgia, it seems that it is gone now.
"Who married the sentimental you, who read your diary, who coiled up your long hair, and who made the wedding dress for you." Gently, Arcado hummed this old song. He hummed gently. Lin Feng couldn't hear the lyrics because of the distance, but faintly heard a beautiful tune.
Hearing Akado hum, Lin Feng felt that Akado might be in a better mood and hurriedly said, "I have a large jewelry store. I heard that adults have a lot of elf jewelry and jewelry in their hands, so I want to cooperate with you to sell some high-end elf jewelry."
"I do have a lot of elf specialties in my hand. Unfortunately, I have no reason to cooperate with you. The morning before yesterday, Duke Smith also talked about this matter with me. His jewelry business is one of the best in the Holy City. I think cooperation still depends on the strength and sincerity of both sides, don't you think? Your Excellency?" Arcado bit the count very hard and looked at Lin Feng playfully and continued, "In fact, there are too many profitable industries on Rome Island. Timber, taxes, transportation, slave trade and elf specialties are just one of them. I'm not very interested in your cooperation suggestions."
"I, you know, Marquis, my Lin family's jewelry industry has always had a good reputation, and it is also middle-to-top scale in and around the holy city. Please be sure to consider our cooperation. Although the jewelry business of the Duke of Smith is very large, he himself relies on slave sales to make a fortune... Lin Feng said anxiously.
"Count Lin Feng, if you discuss family history, I think you were more concerned about it in the past, didn't you?" Arcado poured himself a glass of wine, then ate the meat in front of him again with a knife and fork, and continued, "I don't hate your past, so I won't care about others."
Lin Feng at the top was stunned. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him was so sharp and wise. Almost every word he said was like a long sword, stabbing the other party's most vulnerable heart. He had always thought that the rise of the owner of Rome Island depended on opportunity, but now he was helplessly sure that Arcado's rise depended on ability.
"Please think more about it. If you can take care of it, everyone in the Lin family will appreciate your generosity." Lin Feng can only play bitter cards now.
"I didn't refuse, but you have to convince me, Count Lin Feng. After all, my gold coins are also earned little by little. I have no reason to give up the more profitable business. This is a business, and you can't rely on it. Arcado said with a smile.
Before Lin Feng could speak, a beautiful voice of a girl came from the door.
"First, our Lin family has not been in the habit of relying on others to do business; secondly, not everyone in the Lin family will appreciate you, at least I won't. Are you right? Arcado?"
