Chapter 95 New skill unlocked! [Greedy Grasp]!



A young girl in a black robe stood on the top of a white tower and looked into the distance.

Looking at the figures of the two people under the starry night sky in the distance, she chuckled and said, "Beatrice, happy engagement."

A light flashed around him, and a white-robed wizard with a big sword on his back appeared in front of the girl.

"Long time no see, Lady Olivia."

If Louis was at the scene, he would definitely discover that the white-robed wizard was actually Gandalf, the lord of the White Tower.

The expression on Gandalf's face when he looked at "Olivia" at this moment was completely different from his relaxed conversation.

It was an extremely cautious and fearful posture.

Olivia saw the White Tower Master's appearance and chuckled.

"Don't be nervous. I didn't come here to cause trouble today."

"That would be wonderful if that's the case."

"I just found out that Beatrice is getting married, so I came to take a look."

Gandalf gave her a penetrating look.

This prince is not that prince. If he was really the little good boy in the palace, he would not be alarmed.

The old wizard stroked his beard and asked tentatively, "Don't you want to go and see Beatrice and yourself?"

Olivia shook her head and said:

"No, I'm quite happy to see Beatrice getting engaged today."

The old wizard smiled and said, "Then go meet the emperor?"

"Olivia" laughed happily and relaxedly: "Forget it. He may not recognize me as his daughter. It's a good thing that he didn't hit me with a hammer directly."

"I'd better not cause trouble."

"Okay, Sir Gandalf, I have to go. Those guys on the dark side of the god of love are not easy to kill."

No one knows what happened in the White Tower.

But just as the ball was about to end, Beatrice played a big trick.

As the party was about to end, she pushed out a huge dragon horn engraved with spell circuits.

This huge horn, called the "Gem Roar", has completely transformed into a war weapon capable of casting legion magic after the efforts of the White Tower Wizard.

"Mr. Sean and Ms. Fafner from the Dragon Empire have reached a strategic cooperation with Enther under the communication of our prince."

"As a gift for our cooperation, Ms. Fafner gave us a testimony of our friendship—"

"The dragon horn she shed when she was young was used to forge the treasure [Gemstone Roar]."

"The light reflected on the horn will bear witness to our friendship with the Sapphire Dragon Clan."

After that, it was announced that the two sapphire dragons would be honorary friends of Enther, as well as related return gifts and the like.

When they went back that night, Sean kept patting Louis on the shoulder and exclaimed that Ense was really giving him face.

Even Fafner, who looked calm and composed, couldn't help but smile.

Family members, who understands! I was already mentally prepared to come to Ense to accept the ultimate humiliation.

If all else fails, just do as you did when you saw the emperor on the Smoky Mountains. Just run away in panic, pretending you can't win.

As long as I lie down quickly enough, the Emperor may not kill me! This is what Sean thought, and he even shamelessly asked the evil kid what kind of posture would look more humiliating.

Emmmn~ Anyway, Louis was quite speechless. When Sean asked this question while riding in a carriage with him and the Marquis of York, their expressions were almost the same.

Louis: ヾ(﹏) York: (‵) Anyway, it’s really hard to hold it together.

Even though Louis repeatedly emphasized that Enser invited the two dragons for the purpose of peace, Sean refused to listen.

In the end, Louis could only teach him the Pingsha Luoyan style, and Sean nodded with satisfaction:

"That's right, this is the ultimate humiliation we want!"

Louis: ...

That day, Louis took a lot of effort to hold back his laughter.

But now the two dragons were indeed laughing happily.

Unexpectedly, there were unexpected turns of events. Not only did he not get beaten, but he was even lifted up by a little girl from the Enser Empire at the end of the dance.

That's so authentic.

They were very happy.

Listen!

Even when they retrieved the remains of their former leader who was hammered into Sapphire Dragon King by the Emperor, they said it was a "gift to friends of the Empire."

Great! Enseer is great! Wonderful! Princess is wonderful! With such respect, Sean and Fafner also gave clear responses.

"After we return the remains of the king and his guards to the Dragon Tomb, we will come to the Smoky Mountains again to discuss the issue of compensation with you all."

That night.

After seeing off the couple who left in a hurry and returning to the Prince's Palace, Louis finally smiled happily.

A world in which only Gregory was injured was reached!

It’s a pity that the future diary has not been updated, which makes the feeling of double happiness missing.

Just like that, a week passed in the blink of an eye.

This period of time.

The news from the palace ball penetrated into every household like the damp and cold sea breeze.

What the citizens of Tino are most concerned about is what kind of extraordinary man can win the heart of their future empress.

Then the news about Louis spread all over the city like snowflakes.

——Obviously, there is someone behind this.

Beatrice: Yes, that's me.

After the two officially announced their engagement, Beatrice quietly began to shape Louis's reputation among the people.

To summarize the whole process, it is probably like this:

Day 1: The vile succubus from the White Tower takes over the Imperial Rose.

Day 2: The poor White Tower experiment attacks the waste treatment plant.

Day 3: The tide of the living dead in Dragon Bone Grassland is stopped by outsiders.

Day 4: Louis convinces the legendary Sapphire Dragon with a game of strategy.

Day 5: Prince Louis easily defeats Gregory, the top family heir.

Day 6: The glorious and righteous imperial prince and the future empress get married!

Can't hold it.

Only Gregory's wounded world was reached.

It is foreseeable that Louis will become a topic of conversation among Tino citizens for a long time to come.

Of course, there are also many people who became popular with the help of Louis.

The legendary sapphire dragon Sean/Favrna is very popular.

But firstly, the citizens of Tino could not see the two dragons that had left.

Secondly, the strength of a legend is too far away from ordinary people, and it is somewhat taboo to talk about it.

The practice of keeping secrets for the sake of respecting a respected person is not something that only existed in previous lives.

But it is also because of this that another person, or a chamber of commerce, has become the subject of discussion among everyone from ordinary citizens to high-ranking officials.

That's right, it was our Mr. Mayer Morgan Rockefeller and his Mayer Chamber of Commerce! Almost overnight, the entire imperial capital knew the name of this newly established chamber of commerce.

Legendary dragons are too far away.

Meyer Chamber of Commerce is too close.

If you can't see the dragon, you can't see Mayer either? So even without Louis actively promoting it, the door of Mayer Chamber of Commerce was almost trampled flat by the swarm of customers.

"Master Meyer, help! Even our matching leather boots and round-toed shoes have been snatched away by them!"

"President, they even want us to provide desserts and teas just for them!"

"President, the perfume section is empty!"

“Stop, stop, stop!”

Louis, who had a splitting headache, stopped the store clerks from counting.

"Don't tell me one by one, just tell me which products have not been sold yet?"

The shop assistants looked at each other.

In the end, only two out of the twenty or so shop assistants raised their hands somewhat awkwardly.

Louis tapped the ground lightly with his cane and said:

"Which area are you responsible for?"

A clerk said, "Mr. Meyer, I am in charge of the kitchen and bath appliances area, and sales are slow. There are still 20% of the products that have not been sold."

Louis asked, “Which ones?”

"As for bath towels and brushes, the guests can understand if you explain them to them, but for soaps, the mages seem to have cheaper alternatives."

Louis thought for a moment, then turned to look at a middle-aged man next to him:

"Rom, how long will it take to renovate the warehouse next door?"

The middle-aged man named Rohm said, "Mr. Meyer, even if we speed up the process, it will take at least a month."

Rom hesitated for a moment. As the person in charge hired by Mr. Meyer, he kindly reminded him, "Sir, the warehouse in the back area of ​​the Meyer Chamber of Commerce occupies a large area. Why not just demolish it and build a larger Chamber of Commerce headquarters?"

Louis shook his head and said, "Don't worry about the positioning problem, just follow the plan."

He looked at the clerk who had just reported and said:

"All soaps, bath towels and other items have been removed from the shelves. Those that have not been opened will be sent directly to the warehouse and stored in a separate compartment."

“The unpacked ones are given directly as souvenirs to customers who have not yet left and have purchased expensive products.”

The clerk nodded, and Rom said, "Mr. Meyer, did the factory ask them to stop production?"

Louis shook his head: "No, let them increase the production of the items that were taken off the shelves today as much as possible."

“Their final destination is not our current directly-operated store, but the warehouse next door.”

"Rom, follow me, don't just focus on the present, look to the future as much as possible."

Rom nodded, understanding that he had other plans for the goods.

Louis looked at another clerk and said, "What's left over there are the teacups and plates with the Meyer Chamber of Commerce numbers, right?"

The clerk nodded.

"Then follow the original plan and take the numbered plates and tea sets to the most conspicuous place on the street and smash them in front of everyone."

"Spread the word among the people around us, saying that we, the Meyer Chamber of Commerce, are willing to buy back numbered products at twice the price."

"Remember to emphasize to everyone that Meyer Chamber of Commerce rejects defective products and is willing to pay for any defective products that occur."

The clerk nodded: "Yes, sir."

Louis waved his hand and said, "Okay, the Meyer Chamber of Commerce will leave work early today!"

There were cheers from the shop assistants below.

Louis patted the dimensional bag on his waist and a smug smile appeared on his face.

The large warehouse next door takes up too much floor space.

For many businesses in the imperial capital, large businesses with the strength and demand for such a large space have already established related industries.

Small businesses either don't need it or don't have that much liquid cash.

In addition, the property was originally owned by a bankrupt businessman. If the land was really to be reused to establish a chamber of commerce, the warehouse would have to be demolished and rebuilt.

The cost is even higher when going back and forth.

So even though the large warehouse at the rear had a good geographical location, no one was able to take it over immediately.

And Louis bought it directly.

He planned to transform the warehouse into a unique thing that had never appeared in the Star Continent.

Of course, we can discuss this later.

As for the plates and tea sets…there were actually no flaws.

But Louis, who has already tasted the joy of "traffic", plans to do another marketing.

If the ball a week ago established the name of the Mayer Chamber of Commerce, then he would directly transform the Mayer Chamber of Commerce into a symbol of "high-end, atmospheric and classy" in the hearts of the good citizens of Tino.

And he had a hunch.

After destroying the remaining batch of numbered plates and tea sets, not only will not many plates and tea sets be recycled, but the prices of the plates and tea sets in the hands of buyers will also increase.

Until then...

Hehehehe.

When Louis thought of the batch of special plates and tea sets in his pocket that were not directly put on the shelves, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Give him a little more time. Even if we don’t take into account the sales growth brought by this wave of marketing, it is still uncertain who will make a profit or a loss!

Uh oh!

All the small change is worth it! Louis showed his greed without hiding it.

Now he is a "big" businessman designated by the imperial dignitaries! Even though his chamber of commerce has just started business.

Even if he was the one who designated Meyer Chamber of Commerce to supply goods to the powerful.

It doesn't matter even if there is no such thing as a "humanized Sapphire Dragon dress".

But it doesn't matter.

Just like now it is very likely that only Sean and Fafner’s sapphire dragons are left.

The couple was convinced that the Baroque-style long skirt and peak-lapel suit were their formal wear. Even if he was dragged before the God of Contract to verify the truth, he would not dare to say "This is the characteristic dress of the Sapphire Dragon."

Lies within lies, this can instantly turn things upside down! In a trance, he seemed to see gold coins flowing into his pocket.

The [Sin of Greed], which had become increasingly restless during this period, was actually suppressed a lot by this abstract operation.

Only the moment he walked out of the Meyer Chamber of Commerce, his expression changed slightly.

Just now, he felt that he had mastered a skill again.

"Greedy Grip?"

"The more wealth you possess, the stronger the grip of the invisible tentacles that spread wherever you look?"

"Fuck! It doesn't consume magic power, it only consumes energy. Isn't it a harvester of the weak?"

Louis was shocked.

I didn't expect that after playing "Transformation", I actually unlocked a skill.

He was eager to experiment with the Grasp of Greed, but paused when he stepped out of the Chamber of Commerce door.

Looking at the father and son standing in the wind, a surprised expression appeared on his face.

"Why are they here?"

Looking at Harley Todd and Gregory Todd standing at the door, Louis' first reaction was whether his [Mask of Greed] skill was ineffective.

After all, Mayer, with his identity, has never dealt with these two people.

It’s very strange that they came to me now on their own initiative.

Before he could speak, he heard a familiar voice again:

"Mr. Meyer, the two people from the Todd family want to discuss something with you."

Louis looked at the wizard in surprise.

"Sir Gandalf, why is he here too?"
