165 Old and Knowing the Destiny
Chen Xiansong has no temper for people like Locke Subaru who speaks a lot, is curious and familiar with it. He is too unkind to drive away and staying there is simply to make himself uncomfortable. Instead of consuming it, it is better to satisfy the other party. Chen Xiansong drinks a sip of fruit wine, moistens his throat, and then roughly tells the story.
Although the fruit wine provided by this hotel is cheap, it tastes good. Locke Subaru is used to drinking good wine, so he can barely accept the wine. After hearing this, he thought deeply and after a while, he said, "This is not right... According to my experience, there is something strange in this matter."
Chen Xiansong is not stupid. He just lacked the experience of knowing conspiracies and tricks before, so he naturally discovered a lot of inside information in this matter. However, everything needs information to be considered in the next step. Now the situation of his master and apprentice is completely a gangster, and he has no idea of any situation at all.
It was obvious that Artemis was driving them away. Since that was the case, he might as well follow their wishes, return to his own house, close the door, and then make up for it safely.
When Locke heard Chen Xiansong say this, he deeply agreed and felt that his reminder seemed to be a waste of time. The other party was a soul-thinking person, so how could he not be smarter than himself? He drank two more glasses of fruit wine before saying, "It seems that the waves in the royal city are turbulent. The little nobles in my place will not go there to join us. Now sell the goods, if you lose more, you will lose more. When you go back, let's go together, so there will be some care on the road. Your Excellency, don't leave me alone this time."
Chen Xiansong shrugged: "Then you should hurry up. The departure time is up to my teacher. I can't do anything if I leave."
"Then I'll go and prepare now." Subaru Locke threw down his glass and left.
There was nothing to do next, so Chen Xiansong continued to cast equipment. Now he was only the last boot, just finish this step. Odin's sacred garment was completed. Not long after, the little guy came to knock on the door and interrupted Chen Xiansong's work.
"Teacher, let's go out shopping."
When the evil stone was cast, Chen Xiansong sat on the floor, so now the little guy was lying on his back.
Frances has a special ability, she is very light in weight, and she doesn't seem to have much weight behind her back. Since her concentration was interrupted, Chen Xiansong also stopped. The last time he came to Emperor Moon City, he did not take Bai Min on the street.
Bai Min is a biochemical person. It is logical that he should not like shopping. However, the book "The Necessary Self-cultivation and World View of Natural Persons" says that women, as long as they are women, whether they are natural persons, new humans, or biochemical persons, like to go shopping. Even if there are people who don't like shopping occasionally, as long as their lover takes her there, they will be very happy.
So Chen Xiansong decided to take Xiaomin to go shopping, and the little guy took it with him.
As soon as the three of them came out of the door, they met Udir and he asked, "What are you going to do?"
"We are going shopping." The little guy answered first, looking very happy.
"Xis. You go back first, and go shopping later." Udir seemed to have some gray hair and was not as energetic as a few days ago: "I have something to talk to Xiaosong."
"Oh..." The little guy lowered his head and walked away in disappointment.
In Udir's room, he closed the window and asked his housekeeper to keep the door. Then he sat down and said slowly: "Child, I went to the royal city, but I didn't get anything. I spent time in vain. You won't blame me."
"No." Chen Xiansong looked indifferent: "Just treating a trip, there are more emergencies on the way."
The old man sighed, his eyes were dull and his old look became more and more obvious. His trip to the royal city seemed to have dealt a great blow to him.
"I was discovered by my teacher after I was twenty years old and became a soul-thoughtist," Udir recalled: "Because I was old, I would be very slow to learn things. It took me three years to read books fluently, and several years to understand the decomposition of knowledge. In this way, I was in my early thirties and could barely be considered an introductory soul-thoughtist. However, until I lived to this day, I had not created a real knowledge structure, nor did I have any. I have been in the town of Limestone for more than twenty years, and my only contribution to it was to test how much wood ash was sprinkled on each acre of fields to make the crops grow better without hurting the roots."
Udir's words were full of helplessness and desolation: "I have been doing nothing all my life, the only place of pride..." Speaking of this, his turbid eyes lit up: "I found you, you are my most talented child, clean and kind, not talking about water wheels, not talking about off-season vegetables, just saying that the fertilizer you have made from the pit recently has easily exceeded my efforts for more than 20 years, and the ash in front of it is a joke."
"I have always regarded the association as my final destination." Udir coughed: "But recently I feel that the association's way of doing things is a bit strange. This time I come to the royal city, which further proves my guess."
"There are factions in the association, and the conflict is very serious." Udir coughed: "And it should still be a big matter that endangers the survival of the association. I thought about it for a day and finally came up with something. The president deliberately forced us away. Maybe she was for our own good, or she was afraid that we would stand on her hostile side at that time, but no matter what, the survival of the association in the future seemed to be decided in the conflict."
"I'm just an outsider, I don't know anything, nor have any strength." Udir seemed very painful: "I don't even know that besides the president, there are people on that side who are competing for power with her in the association. But I know one thing, no matter who wins or loses, the association will definitely be seriously injured."
"The association may be divided, and may be wiped out by other forces, maybe it is the Temple of the Sun, the Dragon Clan, or the nobles who united them." Udir's eyes were full of grief: "You may think I am worried about nothing, but I just feel this way, and this feeling is getting deeper and deeper. Xiao Song, I have an idea now. After I get home, I will inherit my territory to you. You can help me manage it, hire more people, try to protect myself, and help me protect my relatives. I think the world may be very chaotic in the future."
Chen Xiansong frowned, and Udir's words revealed a lot.
He was about to speak, but at this moment, Udir suddenly coughed. Chen Xiansong went over and helped him gently massage his back. After a while, Udir seemed to be getting better. He waved his hand and smiled, "Go and go shopping with Xis. If it is too late, she will blame me. In addition, go to bed early tonight and we will set off tomorrow morning."
Chen Xiansong nodded and left the room.
Not long after, Udir started coughing again. This time it lasted a lot longer than before, and the coughing sound was a little bit louder. He covered his mouth and tried not to let the noise disturb the person next door. After a while, he stopped coughing and took his hands off his mouth, which was covered with blue liquid.
He touched his nose and lips with his other clean hand... Another blue liquid stain was stained with one hand. He looked at his hands for a long time, and after a long time, he said to himself as if he was moaning: "What exactly are our soul-thinking people?"
Chen Xiansong was wandering around the street with a dancing little guy. When women went shopping, they usually enjoyed shopping, but the little guy was a foodie. She ate from the east to the west, and then ate to the south city. At least nearly ten kilograms of things entered her hands and mouth, but she was still unsatisfied.
While walking around, Chen Xiansong met an acquaintance, Locke Subaru.
This guy was directing his servant to unload the goods. More than a dozen trucks of goods were all pottery. He seemed very happy, and he was gesturing his income on a piece of parchment paper, and seemed to have made a lot of money.
Since he saw this, Chen Xiansong naturally went over to say hello. As soon as he patted his shoulder, the guy jumped up and turned around and cursed: "That bastard is touching... Hey, why is it you, Lord Chen Xiansong, are you here to visit me specifically?"
"As a noble, you can still do business." Chen Xiansong was a little surprised when he looked at the caravans of pottery. Logically, the nobles would not participate in business operations in person. They were arrogant and looked down on this business. As the future city lord, Locke Subaru has a good status and should not be exposed to these things.
"I just play around with it, but I didn't expect to make a lot of money. It's quite interesting." Locke Subaru smiled proudly. This time he came out, he was following his father's instructions to find a way to get close to Chen Xiansong and get closer.
When someone goes to the royal city, he chases him and goes to the royal city. He can't just say: Your Excellency, I'll just flatter you.
The nobles also need shame, so Locke Subaru was under the guise of going to the business. Although going to the business is not a good thing, he always covers up his face. He chased Chen Xiansong all the way and always had to do it, so he bought some goods casually. Whenever he thought of these pottery, he was transported here, but whenever he thought of these pottery, he happened to hit the pottery and raised the price. After pouring out these dozens of pottery, he made at least 200 gold coins in a net profit.
Two hundred gold coins, a lot of them. The pure tax revenue of his city lord's mansion is only one thousand gold coins a month. Apart from food, drink, expenses, and wages, there are only five or six hundred left to be deposited into the family vault.
As a result, Locke Subaru felt more and more that Chen Xiansong was a lucky messenger who could get close to him. Originally, he came to flatter Chen Xiansong by his own order, but he still had some grudges in his heart, but now it has disappeared.
"We came out here to stroll around, and we didn't know where to have fun." Chen Xiansong looked around: "It would be great if there were some special things, Locke Subaru, have you been to this city before?"
The little guy grabbed a few skewers of barbecue, ate all over his mouth, and echoed: "You need some delicious food."
