Chapter 28 Good Man Richard

"Let's take a look at the second item."

Richard took out the purple crystal.

"This crystal can automatically release a shield, so it can be said to be a life-saving equipment. However, this equipment can only be made of special crystals, and I tend to make this product a high-end product."

"If you plan to make this product into a high-end product, you can inlay the crystal into various types of jewelry. This way it can be sold at a higher price."

"You're right, this idea is better! By the way, every chain store must also be equipped with this crystal. It is used to prevent accidents."

"The last one is the battle crystal, but this crystal will only be used by our own people. Every store manager of the chain store must be equipped with one. We must provide warm service to passengers, but also give sufficient force warning to those with ulterior motives."

Kikyo nodded.

"Well, now that you have joined, things will be much easier. I have decided to set up our second department - the Finance Department. You will be the head of the department, responsible for our overall financial expenditure and trade. If there is anything you don't understand about the department, you can ask the first head, Vashj."

Kikyo was surprised, "You entrusted me with such an important job right from the start?"

Richard answered confidently, "Of course, trust a person if you employ him, and don't employ him if you don't trust him."

Richard continued to talk about some details of the Finance Department.

Kikyo looked at Richard, who was now talking and laughing, and the giant beast on that day always appeared in her mind. The gap between the two sides was really huge, but thinking of the giant beast would remind her of the scene she had forgotten.

As Richard was talking, he noticed that Kikyo's eyes had changed, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Kikyo shook her head, leaned back in her chair, and looked reminiscent.

Richard took a bottle of wine and two glasses, and said, "You are worried, come and have a few drinks, and the wine will make your worries go away."

"My hometown, Japan, was once a very beautiful place... Then a war broke out there..."

After a few glasses of wine, Kikyo, with a slightly red face, began to tell her own history.

"I don't know how many hundreds of years the war lasted. The land was desolate, countless soldiers and civilians died, but it finally ended... The victors got a land with few survivors, and losers like me ended up in exile."

Richard sighed, "What was this war for? The losers lost everything, and the winners got almost nothing."

"I don't know... Ever since I can remember, I have had to fight with weapons to survive. At that time, people either killed or were killed... I lost countless subordinates in that war, but fortunately, their souls are still there. In order to enable my subordinates to be reborn, I handed over six coins at the Sanzu River..."

"Six coins?"

"The Sanzu River is a river we cross from time to time. In the past, it required virtue to cross that river, but later it became money. Saying it is six coins is just a way of saying it, but in reality it requires much more than that. Some partners who were unwilling to pass away formed Tielunyizu with me."

Is this the origin of Tielunyizu of the Undead Merchant Corps? Richard thought.

"It is the duty of the living to comfort the souls of our dead compatriots. Although our ghosts have a long lifespan, they will eventually come to an end and return to the earth. However, the body is just a container for the soul, and we Tielunyizu will be with our compatriots from beginning to end..."

"You know, there was a man named Guilt who recruited me before, but if I joined them, I would see many new souls die..."

"I... I won't be able to take care of it..." Kikyo burst into tears. "What thrives must decline. No matter what kind of power it is, there will be a day when it will perish. That's why we keep wandering, but, but... I still have so many compatriots who haven't passed away. How long will they have to wander in the wilderness on their own? So many people just disappeared like this... Whenever I think of this, I feel sad and regretful. If I... If I could have added some power earlier... Maybe I could have saved a few more people..."

Richard looked at Kikyo lying on the table and said, "A life of drifting around may have some charm, but it's also good to have a stable residence. No matter where you go, you can return home. If you want, this is your home."

"Hu... Hu..." Kikyo fell asleep with tears in her eyes.

Richard covered her with a blanket and stood in front of the window looking out.

After this conversation, Kikyo's position in his heart rose a lot. He originally thought that she was just a businessman who could sacrifice herself for money, but it turned out that she had such a noble goal. No wonder she was so tight on money after making so much money. She wore the same clothes every time and seemed to have never changed. She must have given all the money she made to her compatriots.

Make money, send compatriots away, make money again, and send compatriots away again. Her life wandered in this endless cycle, tirelessly.

Someone said that every woman is a book, which is really true. If you savor it carefully, it is full of fragrance...

The next day was an early morning.

"Vashj, I want to set up a new department called the Ministry of Finance."

Richard briefly told Vashj about the new department.

"Get ready. Everything is going well over there in Zonoz. The human kingdom is about to be pacified. Moore has sent new fishmen reinforcements. They will use new weapons to destroy the remaining dragons. We will return after we deal with these things."

"Yes, master."

"Also take out some money from my private vault. I need it."

"How much does master need?"

"Well... take out everything except the spare parts."

"Yes, master."

"That's all."

"Master, speaking of dragons, we still have a dragon locked up in our cell, the daughter of the King of Hell..."

"Hmm?" Richard was confused.

"I've already cleaned her."

"Uh..." Richard scratched his head. "Let's talk about it in the afternoon. Prepare the money first."

"Yes, master."

In the newly established office of the Minister of Finance, Kikyo was combing her long hair.

"Eh? What's up?"

Richard ordered his servants to place the boxes of gold coins in place.

"This is a little gift from me."

"What?" Kikyo was confused.

"You have joined us, you are our companion, and your compatriots are also our compatriots, and we also have the obligation to help them pass away."

Kikyo covered her lips and said with emotion: "Thank you, thank you, this way we can save more people."

Kikyo thought of the compatriots whose souls had dissipated, and choked up and said: "If I had known you earlier..."

Richard handed Kikyo a handkerchief.

Kikyo wiped her tears and said: "Thank you... You are a good person..."

Until returning to his room, Richard was still thinking about how he was given a good person card...

"By the way, it feels good to be a good person."

Just when Richard wanted to be a good person, Vashj came and asked Richard to go see the dragon girl.

"Well, it seems that I can't be a good person, but I can still be a good bank..."
