Chapter 535: Serestina's Bet
In the end, Rhodes did not give any answer to this question. And Celia and Serestina didn't ask any more questions, they are not fools, they have been by Rod's side for so long, not to mention that the summoning jīng spirit and the summoner's soul are interconnected, from this point of view, Celia and Seristina know more about Rhodes than even Marlene and Lijie. Of course, they noticed that something was not quite right when Rhodes talked about it, but Celia and Serestina couldn't tell what was wrong, maybe even Rhodes himself didn't notice it, but they always felt that way.
"It's really interesting, it looks like there may be an unexpected gain from this trip, right?"
Staring at the heavy, closed door, Serestina narrowed her eyes and smiled eerily.
"I really didn't expect that the man who looked cold and unapproachable would have such a side, huhuhu............ It's a great opportunity........."
"Sister, sister?"
Seeing Serestina's expression, Celia couldn't help but be shocked, and she hurriedly reached out and interrupted Serestina's speech.
"What are you going to do? I think it's better not to be too excited, and there should be something hidden in his appearance......... We are summoning jīng spirits, and it is not a good thing to be rude to the Lord on such occasions. ”
"What are you talking about, my lovely sister?"
Hearing Celia's words, Serestina turned her head and raised her chin high, looking confident, confident and proud.
"We are not ordinary summoning spirits, but as Holy Spirits, we have our own self-esteem and pride. Understanding the Lord's entry is also a must for us, if he can't communicate with our hearts and minds well, then how can we give full play to the true power of our white spoon? Don't you feel the bondage of this contract? Are you content with what you are now? Hmph, Miss Ben won't be satisfied......... I think that in the middle of hell at the beginning, even the group of idiots in Jiaoyan Hell were only Miss Ben's first look, but now? Miss Ben, who has lost her strength, is probably not as good as a soul prisoner in the eyes of those brainless fools! It really makes Miss Ben feel hot when I think about it! ”
Speaking of this, Serestina couldn't help but grit her teeth, and then she stretched out her hands and held the thorny whip that came out of her sleeve at some point, and pulled it so hard that she only heard a "snap", which made Celia shrink her body.
"Don't tell Miss Ben that you really don't care at all, remember the demon archduke who disgusted you? It's really unreasonable, thinking back to the time when Miss Ben and your men died not a thousand but eight hundred, and now we can only stay by like a spectator, without even the slightest sense of existence........."
Seeing Serestina gritting her teeth, Celia opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, as Serestina said, they used to have great power, they were once the center of this world. But now, although their white spoons still exist, they have been heavily sealed. It's like a strong entrant, not only with heavy handcuffs and shackles, but also carrying heavy boulders, and at the same time bound by a belt that binds his entire body and can't move freely, no normal person can endure such restraints, let alone the presence of Celia and Serestina.
Celia knew the way to find her strength, which was the oath to summon the jīng spirit, and it was also a bondage. But although she was very unwilling, Celia did not care as much as Celestina, on the contrary, Celia felt that if Rhodes was willing, then sooner or later he would die, and he would definitely have the strength to break his seal. ..., to read the full text, please go to the small - said. net, faster and more complete, wWw
"Miss Ben can't wait that long, it's your own business to do what you like, my lovely sister. I don't know what Sister Lu Dao thinks about the white spoon, but ............ Miss Ben doesn't plan to stop there, even if there is the suppression of the oath, Miss Ben will never give up! ”
After saying this, Serestina glared at the closed door again, then turned and left and returned to her room——— Edward Chamber of Commerce arranged a separate room for each of them, so Serestina didn't have to worry about the "humiliation" of sleeping in the same room as the class.
"Haoa ..............."
Looking at Serestina's back, Celia sighed slightly, her sister Dajin has been like this since before, but this is also where her advantages lie, that kind of arrogance, self-confidence, and attitude of working hard for her own goals, once made Celia very envious.
………… Although it is true that there are some problems in terms of methods and means, it is ......... Thinking of this, Celia couldn't help but turn her head and look at the heavy wooden door in front of her.
My sister is big, and the main one is not an easy one to deal with......... I hope you don't suffer because of this.
After dinner, Emily came to Rod's room as she said, and for Rod, he naturally didn't care about taking this opportunity to increase the favorability of the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
"I've kept you waiting, Miss Sylen."
Emily walked into the room with a warm smile and expectant gaze as always, and then she first saluted Rhodes respectfully, then clapped her palms, and soon several servants entered the room, and placed the tea set and dessert, it was obvious that from Emily's appearance, she was planning to stay here for a long time.
"This is our blueberry cake, which is a special product here, and it tastes so good, I think you'll love it, Miss Syren............"
Of course, this was just an excuse, and soon Emily went straight to the point, asking Rhodes about what he had seen and heard during his travels and what a traveling merchant should do——— not just about the bargaining at the stage of commodity trade and the price fluctuations of commodity trade in various urban areas, these Emily also learned here, and she was more eager to know how a merchant should face the dangers and disasters of the journey.
Although Emily asks a variety of questions, but this is difficult for Rhodes, not to mention that in the game, almost every successful player is also a successful businessman, even if it is an ordinary player, the tasks completed by receiving and protecting caravans and traveling merchants are also thousands, in the game of Dragon Soul Continent, the most "orthodox" way to brush a country's reputation is to start with the task of protecting the caravan first, step by step to increase their reputation, when you reach respect, there will be traveling merchants who trust you and issue a white spoon task to protect them, and when your reputation rises again, you can even gain the affection of the aristocracy to help them with some of the commercial shipments and transactions, both open and private.
The so-called has never eaten pork and seen a pig run, not to mention that Rhodes is so familiar with these, and Emily's inquiry is naturally handy, because of limited memory, in fact, Rhodes doesn't know much about how Emily became a traveling merchant after completing this task and leaving Fiat, and how she acted. However, this is not what he has to worry about now, he just needs to teach this eldest lady everything he knows about the Dao according to the mission.
"It's true that there are a lot of inconveniences for traveling businessmen to get in and out of the country, but what about ......... After all, you still have to remember the most important point, only you are your most important companion. There are a lot of dangers out there, and sometimes you can't rely on other ways to get in, you have to rely on yourself. That's important, Miss Emily. "..., to read the full text, please go to the small - said. net, faster and more complete, wWw
"Rely on yourself............ Is it? ”
Putting down the teacup in her hand, Emily looked at Rhodes with wide eyes, as if she wanted to imprint every word he said into her mind.
"Yes, the most important thing for business is profit, but it is also important to make trade-offs at the right time and choose to give up. I have seen many merchants who are still unwilling to give up their wealth at the moment of life and death, and finally lose their lives for this, which is a very pity for me. ”
"But............ Shouldn't Shang Jin have such a jīng god? ”
Hearing Rod's words, Emily couldn't help but blink her eyes with some curiosity and asked Rod her own questions.
"I think this is the idea of businessman, Miss Ceren, maybe it is true for ordinary businessmen, but for us businessmen, money is our white spoon blood, wealth is our white spoon life, if there is no such persistent pursuit of wealth, then how can you become a qualified businessman?"
"There's some truth to what you're saying, Miss Emily."
Rod put down the teacup in his hand, then took the knife and fork, and picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth with a light and elegant movement——— as if he was really born as a lady who had been cultivated for many years in a famous family.
"But I don't see it that way, wealth is important for business, but there is only one life, money can be earned again if there is no money, but there is nothing left without life, there is a saying in my hometown, money is something outside the body, life does not bring death and does not take it. Moreover, for a successful, excellent businessman, he should have such self-confidence. Those who refused to give up their wealth until the last moment and lost their lives seemed to me to have made a very stupid choice, and they chose to run away rather than face it. ”
"Huh? How do you say that? ”
Hearing Rod's words, Emily couldn't help but be interested, she could understand the so-called "stupid choice", Bi Jing seemed to many people to be stupid to give up her life for money. But Emily doesn't actually think so, because they are businessmen, making money and accumulating wealth is their white spoon job, if there is no more dedication to wealth than those ordinary people, how can they have their current status and wealth?
"It's simple."
Rod smiled at Emily's inquiry, then raised a finger.
"They're afraid, they're afraid that if they lose this wealth, they're going to be destitute and even bankrupt. They don't believe that they have enough ability to make a comeback again, they have no confidence in their ability, and because of this, they will subconsciously choose to escape, for those who enter, death is a better choice than that terrible ending. It's not that I can't understand their white spoon worries and fears, Bi Jing is a difficult test for every businessman, but ............ If they're just obsessed with it and can't help themselves, then in the end, I don't think they'll be able to succeed. ”
Hearing this, Emily was silent for a moment, and then she looked up, only to see that this time, there was a little more clarity in the red-haired woman's eyes.
"Thank you very much for your advice, Miss Syren."
For Emily, this tea party time has benefited her a lot, not only has she received a lot of tips from Rhodes about traveling merchants, but also a lot of practical advice——— Rod believes that if Emily wants to travel, then at least she must have the swordsmanship skills to protect herself. In this way, even if she encounters any difficulties, she can at least have the ability to protect herself, and at the same time, he also thinks that Emily should choose some trustworthy entry as much as possible, not to save money in small places, and it is better to hire members of those famous large mercenary groups and guilds to protect herself, rather than greedy for cheap to seek help from those mercenary squads. Many of the mercenary squads are not registered, and some of the mercenary squads are even criminal syndicates, who will pretend to be very enthusiastic to lure you into the lure, and then turn around and swallow your belongings after taking you away. It's not once or twice that Rhodes has encountered such a sudden NPC event in the game. ..., to read the full text, please go to the small - said. net, faster and more complete, wWw
For Rod's suggestion, Emily naturally took it to heart, and the two of them chatted for several hours, until late at night, considering that Rod came from afar, Emily reluctantly left. Of course, before leaving, Rhodes also pretended to be casual and said the reason for her visit——— she wanted to establish a trade with the Edward Chamber of Commerce on silver mines, so she wanted to visit the silver mines of the Edward Chamber of Commerce with her own eyes.
For Rhodes, that was enough.
"Hoo ..............."
After sending Emily away, Rod let out a long sigh and nodded in satisfaction. It seems that this time his plan of action is very smooth, the eldest lady has a good impression of her, and now she has been assured by her, in Rhodes's opinion, although Emily has a flexible mind and a quick business, but she still lacks some cunning qualities. Maybe it's because she thinks she's the same as xìng, and the age is almost the same.
"I really don't know what it means for you to laugh at such a little girl."
Immediately after Emily left, Serestina returned to her original posture and sat lazily on the sofa, looking at Rhodes with a hint of disdain.
"Obviously, with your strength, you can get this thing done faster, but you have to make it so troublesome?"
"I'm tired of hearing your complaints, Serestina."
Rhodes turned around, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he regained the expressionless cold touch on his face. In response to Rod's answer, Seristina smiled smugly, and then she raised her hand.
"That's right, Miss Ben is already a little tired............ Lord, do you want to play a game? ”
"Games?"
Hearing this, Rod raised his eyebrows and looked at Seristina, and feeling Rode's gaze, Seristina proudly puffed up her chest, raised her chin, and looked at Rod with a smug and provocative gaze, and then the girl turned over her hand, and soon, a round bowl with a luxurious pattern appeared in her hand, and there were three sè seeds inside.
"A little game to pass the time, although Miss Ben would like to say so, but the main ............ I have to say that Miss Ben is really dissatisfied with your subtle and low-minded curry favor with such a lowly entry, no matter what, you are the master of me and Celia, and now, you have to bow down to such a class. Miss Ben couldn't accept it, so she ......... How about we make a bet? ”
"What bet?"
In the face of Celestina's words, Rod pulled over a chair without changing his face, sat down opposite the girl, and stared at her blood-red eyes. Seristina, on the other hand, reached out, covered her lips, and chuckled.
"It's very simple, the main entry, two wins in three games, if Miss Ben wins, then the next one, you have to act according to Miss Ben's orders. And on the other hand, if you win, then Miss Ben will do what you say in the next year, how about it? ”
In the face of Celestina's words, Rod did not immediately agree, he first looked meaningfully into the girl's eyes, and then was silent for a moment.
"Sounds really unfair, and even if I win, it's just the same as it is now, isn't it?"
"Isn't that so? Lord, if you win, then you can do whatever you want to Miss Ben. ”
Speaking of this, Seristina narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a seductive smile, and her legs were staggered, revealing her slender legs wrapped in black stockings. At the same time, the devil's lady leaned back and looked at Rhodes with a victorious smile.
"Miss Ben has no complaints, how is it? What do you think of this bet? Main? ”
Rhodes withdrew his gaze, he lowered his head and looked at the prop in Serestina's hand in front of him, and after a moment, he stretched out his right hand and picked up the round bowl with black sè.
"I'll come first, you don't mind."
Then, Rod spoke.
"Of course, the main one."
Seeing Rod's movements, Serestina's smile widened.
