Chapter 1490 Young Rich Businessman
It is not very far from Luzweilsh to the Kingdom of Ashan. It can take about ten days at a leisurely pace, and can be reached in about a week at a faster time. Scar led a group of more than thirty brothers to a town in the northwest of the Ashan Kingdom, where they met the young wealthy businessman.
Tea, fine silkworm wood tables, and furniture are mostly made of wood, antique. The furnishings in the house are both luxurious and low-key. If you don't know better, you will think they are furnished by an ordinary small business family. Only those who are truly knowledgeable can see how exquisite the materials used in these seemingly ordinary furniture are.
The walls are covered with bright wallpaper. In a corridor that is not very wide, there are several portraits of people hanging on the snow walls on both sides. Some of the people in the paintings are wearing gentleman's clothes, and some are wearing There are some wearing armor, standing on the cliff with their swords pointing forward, and some wearing military uniforms with medals on their chests. According to the wealthy businessman himself, these are his ancestors.
The wealthy businessman's name is Hilaryl. He is currently one of the largest arms manufacturers in Ashan. The military products produced in his factory are not only supplied domestically, but also sold abroad, especially in the southeastern part of the Demon Moon Empire. Many of the city defense equipment in the towns along the province came from his military ordnance factory, so he had a good relationship with Governor Teemo of the Demon Moon Empire. The industries under his name are not only military products, but also involved in many industries, including hot air balloons and airships.
Hilary is not only rich, but also young and handsome. Although he inherited the family business, he is shrewd and capable, and is very comfortable among officials and businessmen. In the past few years of his management, the family business has more than doubled that of his father's generation. He is not the kind of prodigal son who rests on his father's achievements and rests on his laurels.
A young, promising, rich and capable man like him is naturally indispensable for the pursuit of women. However, to the disappointment of many wealthy officials’ children, Hilary was married very early. Moreover, a pair of twin sisters married him at the same time. Although there is no polygamy system in the Ashan Kingdom, it cannot prevent people from wanting to do so. In fact, only the elder sister went through the marriage formalities, and the younger sister was willing to exist as a lover.
Let’s talk about Hilal’s appearance. She has red lips, a high nose, gray-blue eyes, fair skin, blond hair, a three-quarter hair style, and wears a dark blue, orange-edged open-collar butt-covering long dress. , wearing an orange-gold tie. He has a noble manner and raises his chin slightly when he speaks, showing a bit of arrogance. However, he is still very polite and courteous to others, and his words are also very versatile, so people will not be disgusted by his arrogance. At this time, he took Scar and others to visit his house and were sitting around the table discussing travel matters.
Hilaryl smiled and said to them: "Mr. Scar, you and your friends came at the right time. I was worried that you would not agree and planned to hire someone else. But hiring someone else , I’m not so assured.”
Knife. Scar explained the situation on his side to him, and then said: "Although I won't go there myself, Iveco is the deputy leader of the Bloody Mercenary Group like me. In addition, this one is younger than Moye. Don't look at him, his strength is The most outstanding among the entire bloody mercenary group.”
Hilaryr looked at Bimoye in surprise and said: "You said he is the strongest person in your group? More powerful than you?"
Scar smiled and said: "Yes, he is genuine. Ice Mage ”
Xi. Lariel opened his mouth wide in surprise, and quickly went up to shake hands with him, exclaiming: "It's unbelievable that such a young man has the strength of a magician. Hello, hello."
Bimoye He just said thank you and stopped talking. Scar next to him hurriedly said: "He is relatively introverted and doesn't like to talk. Don't be surprised."
Hilaryl laughed, not angry, waved his hand and said: "No, no, young It's normal for people to be arrogant when they have a promising career, but it looks a bit like me when I was young. Hahahaha..." He said that when he was young, he was actually only twenty-five years old now, and he looked older than his actual age. Two or three years younger.
The six people discussed the details of the escort. The Bloody Mercenary Group's Sean and Gan Chai, including Iveko and Bimoye, were very satisfied with such an employer. So the two parties hit it off and signed a contract quickly, with Hilary paying a 30% deposit in advance.
Finally, Hilaryr said: "It will take two days to prepare the gift I gave to the teacher. The departure time is set for the day after tomorrow. I will provide the residence of all members of your mercenary group during these two days. Make arrangements, I've got the best hotel package in town I bought thirty-three suites and invited you to come to my house for dinner in the evening.”
The employer’s courtesy was so considerate that Scar and Iveco couldn’t refuse, so they waited in the yard. The brother checked into the hotel Hilal mentioned.
......
The sun is scorching in the desert, the sand is scorching hot, and under the cloudless sun, a twisted heat stream is steaming in the air. After a day of chasing, Bing Zhixie and the others still hadn't found the group of sand thieves, but the traces left by the sand thieves were getting newer and fresher, which showed that the distance between them was getting closer.
It was too hot today. Alice fanned the wind with one hand. The cryolite embedded in her clothes had lit up, but the local coolness could not stop the heat wave. Sweat poured into her clothes. In the past few days since entering the desert, she had tanned a lot, and she was annoyed that she did not bring two extra bottles of sunscreen.
Bing Zhixie can't stand such a hot weather. Fortunately, his ice element magic does not necessarily need to rely on the transformation of water elements. Dry ice formed from the air can also be used. The most comfortable one can be said to be Ada. He pressed his whole face against Bing Zhixie's back, hugged Bing Zhixie's waist, and said lazily like a moan: "It's so comfortable, so cool~" Look! Seeing Ada feel so comfortable made Alice so angry that her teeth itched and she wished she could kick Ada to make her gasp.
Two heat- and thirst-resistant desert doodles jogged along the sand ridges of the dunes, and gradually climbed up the highest sand dune. "Hey! Master, look." Standing on the sand dune, Alice saw many people resting here at the foot of the sand dune.
"Come down quickly." Bing Zhixie turned over and pulled the reins to make the Dudu bird squat down. Ada fell directly from the bird's back and filled her neck with water. The yellow sand was so hot that he gritted his teeth and wanted to scream, but Alice covered his mouth.
The three of them were lying on the top of the sand dune, looking at the hundreds or dozens of people below. They saw that there were indeed some people in the crowd who didn't look like they were sand pirates. Needless to say, this group of people was the one they were looking for.
"It's them, it's them." Ada was very scared as she hid behind the dune. She looked at Alice and Bing Zhixie nervously and asked, "I, I, I... we can beat them." Are they? There are so many of them." Ada said to Alice. He still knows a little about Bing Zhixie's abilities. He had seen Alice take action in Shaba Island and knew that she was very powerful, but he didn't know much about Bing Zhixie. However, even if he regarded Bing Zhixie as a powerful person, he still Worry, there are more than a hundred of these sand pirates.
Alice felt angry and funny at the same time, and said with a sullen face: "Did you just think of this problem now?"
Ada has always been bullied by Alice in the past two days. , every time Alice glared at him, he was so frightened that he dared not speak. But the more timid he was, the more Alice disliked him. She didn't know why, but there was an unknown fire in her heart.
Bing Zhixie looked down at the dune, thinking about how to rescue the robbed vendor. Ada, who was hiding behind the dune, seemed to have discovered something. He opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Ai Li, who had been staring at him angrily. Si glared back.
Alice scolded softly: "Don't talk, be careful of being discovered by them."
"But..." Ada had a wronged face, unable to say anything, so she could only whisper in a low voice: "There is an eagle coming. It’s flying in the sky, you didn’t let me say it, don’t blame me, I didn’t want to either.”
He spoke softly, but Bing Zhixie heard clearly, and just as he was about to raise his head, he already said it. A sharp bird call was heard.
The white-feathered brown-capped bustard flew so high, and with the glare of the sun, not even Bing Zhixie noticed it. At this time, the white-feathered brown-capped bustard was hovering over them, issuing a warning to the sand bandits under the dunes.
Sure enough, when the desert bandits under the dunes heard the chirping of birds, they picked up their weapons and ran towards the dunes. Some of the ones who could float had already flown into the air, and they could spot Bing Zhixie and the others in the blink of an eye.
Bingzhi Xie could no longer hide his views and simply showed up. Soon the sand thieves swarmed in and surrounded them with knives and swords.
“Where did this little guy come from, daring to peek at us from hiding behind the dunes? Are you tired of living?” A sand thief with a crooked nose and slanted eyes and a face covered with large spots held a bag in his hand. An old three-eye long-barreled magic stone gun shouted in a stern tone.
Before Bing Zhixie spoke, Ada was already frightened. She hid behind Alice and Bing Zhixie, stuck her head out and said: "We didn't mean it, we were just passing by, we didn't What are you planning to do? We... No, please let me go. Let’s go~~!”
A fire rose in Alice’s chest, her eyebrows raised, she glanced at Ada, and said secretly: “This guy surrendered before he got into trouble. Why were you so brave when you were in Asia?”
Alice was puzzled. In fact, the reason why Ada had the courage to stop the alligator at Shaba Island was that there were many people watching at the time, and as a spectator, he was not afraid; the second reason was that There are also many locals; the most important thing is that the alligator group only has There were more than a dozen people. When he saw the alligator beating Gao Ge so badly, he was so angry that he yelled something when his mind was hot. In fact, he was frightened after shouting that sentence, because he changed from a spectator to a The identity switch involved was something he didn't expect. It's different now. Now he is the person involved. Of course, he is more afraid than angry, and far more than angry. How can he still have the courage to show off.
Seeing that there were only three of them, Bing Zhixie, this gang of sand thieves relaxed at first. Seeing that they were scared, they were even more proud. They all smiled around them and kept looking at them.
