Chapter 49: Ability is paramount, Ansetus Axl [seeking follow-up reading]
In the dozen or so hours since he left, everything in Magatan City remained the same.
Rebecca was making potion as usual, and her mother looked worse than Nick Jr.
I am in a state of confusion most of the time, and I may not be able to hold on for long.
Affected by this, Kitten Girl's mood became increasingly depressed.
Normally she would prepare everything before leaving, and little Nick could reluctantly get up and help.
But now the conditions of both his brother and mother continue to deteriorate.
She did not dare to make a request to her master Chen Xuan rashly, and she fell into a dilemma.
Looking at the little cat girl who looked slightly depressed but still meticulous, Chen Xuan frowned and hesitated to speak, but in the end he said nothing.
He understood what the little cat girl wanted, and he only needed seven or eight thousand crowns to relieve her sorrow.
But this is not a small sum, although Chen Xuan is very confident about the future.
But at the moment he is still a pauper in Naroa, and business will take time.
As for the magic core and monster materials on his body, Ling Ling could probably sell them for a few hundred crowns.
Among them, the magic cores and materials from the succubus and the rotten vulture are relatively valuable.
If he wanted to make quick money, he would have to go to a place like the Temple of Wealth and sign a contract in exchange for a large amount of crowns.
However, the temple contract could only be concluded three times in a lifetime. He did not intend to waste the precious contract opportunity on making money. He had to carefully consider the remaining two opportunities to maximize his benefits.
There is another point. The upper limit of the temple contract depends on the value that he can pledge.
For example, when he exchanged for two top talents before, even if he spent all his money, he could only exchange for a highlight moment of 0.17 water clock.
This not only illustrates the deceptive nature of the temple contract, but also proves another thing, that is, the contractor is also a pledge. If his strength continues to improve, he will be able to pledge some more exaggerated conditions in the future.
To sum up, although he sympathized with Rebecca's family's experience, he was really helpless at the moment.
Blue Star does have a treatment plan for severe ascites caused by liver parasitic disease.
But without exception, surgical solutions are required.
If it was early, the medicine might still be of some use, but now it's too late.
Chen Xuan planned to wait until Ophelia had a breakthrough, and then he would consider helping the kitty mother's family after Krone was credited.
Ultimately, this is an investment in humanity.
How to choose depends on Chen Xuan's own thoughts.
In a world of over-planning and seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, there will always be a few moments when you want to do good.
Of course, everything is based on ability.
Chen Xuan and Ophelia agreed to meet after the first water hour of the new Naraya day.
It was still quite a while before the appointed time, so Chen Xuan was ready to eat, drink and rest for a while.
...
Magtan City, the first circle.
This is the core area of the city.
The building is not only tall and beautiful, but also exceptionally neat.
Tall towers and garrison bastions occupy each of the four corners.
There are dwarf chestnut trees on both sides of the street. The road is clean and there is no peculiar smell in the air.
In addition to the baron's mansion in the center, there are also many lavish manors.
Among them, the manor house of Ansetus Axl, the founder and actual controller of the Colchicum Merchant Group, is also located here.
As the safest place in the entire Magtan city.
Not only were a large number of garrisons strictly patrolling the first circle, but various defensive magic arrays were also deployed.
The city, including the Mage Tower, the Palace of Knowledge, and the Library, are all located within this circle.
It is no exaggeration to say that those who can live here are either rich or noble in the city!
You must know that Magatan City is not a small place. It has a large population in a limited size.
The only trade related to monster materials in the city can reach millions of crowns every day.
If there is a land reclamation period, this number will increase several times.
Not to mention there are related industries such as casting, alchemy, magic manufacturing, etc.
Tens of thousands of adventurers and temporary mercenary groups, either based on commissions or requests from certain parties, are looking for cave monsters to fight.
This resulted in an alternative but equally prosperous trading system.
The Colchicum Merchant Group is the leading trading power in Magatan City, large and small.
Early morning in Naroa, when the sun casts its first ray of light on the earth.
The shrewd and capable Ansetus Axl was already sitting in the study, looking at the rising sun in the distance through the alchemy glass with excellent craftsmanship.
The study room is simply decorated, and the two rows of bookshelves used to cover the secret room are the most eye-catching.
Hanging on the wall is a survey map of Naroa, which marks all the areas that have been explored so far.
But this is still not all of Naroa's world.
Because the area is so large, in addition to the large unexplored areas outside the border, there are also many natural disaster-risk areas, such as the wind and thunder ocean on the east coast, the eternal blizzard belt in the frozen soil of the far north, and so on.
There are powerful adventurers who have penetrated these places, but they have never been able to find a way to cross the dangerous terrain.
Therefore, there is a saying in the Naroa Land Society that the Naroa people today do not own the entire world, and the vast continent they occupy is still just a corner.
Living in such a dangerous and unknown world.
Ansetus Axl's wish was simple.
That is to continue the surname of Akso, and even build it into a true inheritance family.
This wish is destined to require the efforts of many members of the Akso family.
He was accustomed to quiet reflection every morning, which was the secret to keeping his mind clear for many years.
But today, there is a "rare guest" in the study.
"My dear Ophelia."
"It's rare that you come to the study specifically to see me."
"What's wrong?"
"Are you ready to give up your hobbies of animal taming and adventurers?"
Ansetus had slightly curly brown hair. Hair, strong body, but very gentle temperament.
It looks like a lion who is good at making calculations.
Compared with him, Ophelia looks much more delicate. After all, she inherits more of the appearance and characteristics of her elf mother.
The suffix "Sharon" after her last name is her mother's name.
"Greetings to you, my dear father."
"The thing is this..."
...
Ophelia spent two or three hours drafting the draft.
Just to be able to successfully convince his father within ten minutes.
No one knows better than her how shrewd her father is.
So she needs enough time to think of a lie that can be told.
Even if there are small flaws, it doesn't matter, her father will tolerate her.
It was a transference of love for her late mother.
But the process of persuasion is essential, and she needs to let her father see the benefits.
After all, at the end of the day, businessmen are profit-seeking at heart.
As long as the profits are huge enough, they will take risks themselves.
Therefore, in front of businessmen, interests are always more effective than lies.
