Chapter 156 Local News



Brukan Avenue in Koga City.

When Sean saw it for the first time, he thought this place was huge and had everything, but compared to a real big city like Rietis, this place seemed very ordinary. Even the surrounding decorations did not feel as beautiful as Rietis.

Sean followed the route he remembered to the location of Scovey's store, and the place seemed much the same as before...

Open the door~

"What would you like to buy today, sir?" Claude immediately popped his head out from the counter.

"Brother Sean!"

Looked at the door in surprise.

"When did you come back?!" She jumped out of the counter excitedly and ran to Sean.

"No one today?"

"Well, it's always been like this anyway." Claude said casually.

Sometimes I really envy Scovey's store. It is almost half closed every day, but it can still have so much operating income every month. It can charge a lot of fees just by relying on old customers to buy gunpowder bullets and pistol maintenance.

After thinking about it, he decided that industrial products were more profitable. If his town of Thelmian wasn't too small and the mountain folks barely knew how to make precision forging, he'd be tempted to move the Scovey shop into the mountains...

After Claude Jian Sean came back, he simply left the shop door ajar and moved a stool from in front of the counter.

"Brother Sean, please tell me how your trip to the city of Rietis with the Red Dragon Witch went? And what happened there in the end? Recently, there have been rumors that the southeastern city of Tacoma has suffered an unprecedented attack. What did His Royal Highness the Prince of Rietis say?" Claude asked a series of questions.

It seems that the news about Tacoma City has gradually spread to this side...

Sean first looked into the store to see if Esmeralda was there, but Claude said that his sister had gone to the factory and had not returned yet.

There was just enough time to tell him about the people in Lietis. Claude also told him about the recent events in Koga City...

The man who ultimately won the title of Earl of Hammer was indeed Ryan Hammer, Arya's older brother. Because he was the eldest son of the family and had the support of the Grand Duke, he successfully inherited the title of Earl of Hammer.

Some time ago, the entire city of Koga celebrated this event...

As for the eliminated Alia Hamilton and her other brother, they were arranged to live in manors around the city.

"Everyone in the city says that the trusted Earl Hamilton is very kind and has even arranged a good living environment for his brother," said Claude.

Competition and elimination among the nobility are also cruel. It would be best if you can obtain the inheritance position, but if you lose this title and the relationship becomes estranged after several generations, you may not even dare to call the name, just like when you met the scholar in the Library of the Scholars of Rietis.

What’s it called…

Harry Wallop.

In fact, his name is Harry. As for the names after that, they just used the names of their fathers in order to get closer to him. But in fact, it has no meaning to call him that now. Think about it, in the Prince's Palace, the current Earl of Wallop still dislikes him, and Harry can only smile with his face close to his chest.

The name Wallop no longer meant anything to him.

If I weren't a scholar, I wouldn't even be able to stay on Facebook...

This kind of thing is known to everyone even among the public, so they think Ryan Hamilton is very kind at the moment.

But in fact, the earl of Koga City was murdered not long ago, so the new earl must show his magnanimity to win the hearts of the people.

In Sean's view, giving the manor means: I give you some money and a house and you can make a living on your own. If you can survive, that's great. If you can't, don't blame me.

People born into aristocratic families may not necessarily understand business if they do not receive special training. Moreover, many businessmen gave you face because of family relationships. Now that you don’t have this relationship, it’s hard to say what will happen to the entire business world.

Thinking of this, Sean suddenly remembered the things in his town...

"Have you heard from Telemian recently? Have the trade market and mercenary guild withdrawn?" Sean asked.

These things were promised by Alia, but now that she has lost, I don’t know if she can still maintain it!

"It seems not. The fleets in the market are still delivering goods to the mountains every day. And I heard that there are a lot of fruits grown in Thermian and the fleets want to get a piece of the pie." Claude said.

"I see."

That’s right…

Although Arya had made these promises, the subsidies and other things had been promised by the previous Earl of Hamil. If he withdrew them just after the change of leadership, it would inevitably lead to gossip. Moreover, he still held an official title, and in their minds, he should still be in the city of Rietis. Doing so would only make him a laughing stock among the other nobles.

"Brother Sean, are you worried that the new earl will withdraw his men?" Claude was also a smart man and understood it immediately.

"Don't worry about that for now...at least they won't do this for a while."

"Why?"

"It's a bit complicated. I'll tell you in detail next time... Is there anything else?" Sean asked again.

There is little news in Koga City except for local affairs. If there is any news, it is the most popular offline incident in the Tacoma area, which has been linked to the war in rumors.

In addition to the so-called ancient gods' statements, some people also believe that it was the enemy country that started the attack on us, and the empire was just using the teachings of the gods to cover up, and this statement was actually believed by many people within a certain range.

"Thanks to them spreading the word, business has increased recently. Many people are afraid of a repeat of the last riot, so many are coming to buy guns... I heard that the iron ore supply is almost full."

Well……

Looking at Claude's gloating expression, for a moment Sean felt that this statement was spread by these businessmen together.

"By the way, Brother Sean. Why don't you go find Sister Igunya? She often comes here and talks about you... She says you never send her letters and she gets angry every time you talk about it. Why don't you go and coax her." I don't know when this little boy in front of me learned this trick.

Tsk~

Yes, she is still in the city.

"Okay, I'll go to Elin Tower to find her later. There's one more thing. Please help me prepare. I might go back to the town in the next few days. Write a letter to Luke and the others and tell your sister. I hope she will go back with me..."

"Ah?" Claude asked with his eyes wide open.

"Well, I want to see if there's anything else worth developing in this town."
