Chapter 162 The Disaster

Charlie Gerrard was going to the royal city because Charlie had a fiancée in the royal city. Two years ago, when Peter Gerrard was a mage, Charlie's father Charles found a fiancée among the nobles of the royal city through his elder brother.

Charlie's fiancée is Daisy, the granddaughter of the magistrate Count Garcia. Compared to Peter Gerard, Count Garcia is already an old-fashioned sanctuary, and it has been more than 60 years since entering the sanctuary.

Daisy is quite favored among Garcia's children and grandchildren - this kind of thing can be seen from the dowry. When Daisy was twelve years old, under the personal interference of Count Garcia, she specially granted a dowry worth 80,000 gold coins to Daisy.

In the Royal City of Duchy of Zeland, if you don’t buy furniture, clothes, or something, just food and accommodation, you can live a good life with one or two silver coins a day. Eighty thousand gold coins are eight million silver coins, which is a wealth that many families can’t imagine in their lives.

As a real aristocratic family, the income from taking bonds is in line with the noble's life. Although the Earl Garcia family supports a trading company to distribute dividends every year, they never come forward to operate it.

Garcia and Peter are both magicians. The two who are going to get married are the magician's nephew and the other are the magician's granddaughter, and they are also of equal status.

After meeting the two young people several times, the marriage was settled. As for the parties' own wishes, they did not object or agreed. It was just because Daisy was only twelve years old and underage at that time, the two parties were just engaged.

However, there is no airtight wall in the world. After Count Peter was seriously injured and fell into the realm, Daisy's parents began to consider the issue of breaking off the engagement - after Count Peter was seriously injured, he did not go out and did not care about the world, and was at home to live and wait for death. Even the Gerald Chamber of Commerce has been completely sold. What's the point of such a family?

If Baron Charlie was a young talent, the problem of getting married was not very big. The problem is that Baron Charlie was a second-generation playboy according to Daisy's parents' investigation. It is said that Earl Peter was injured and fell into a state of falling, and he was inseparable from Baron Charlie. At least one of the information errors cannot be escaped.

This Baron Charlie cheated his uncle, and that was their family's business. The problem is, if this Baron Charlie also cheated his own Earl Garcia, how could he break it?

No matter how you look at it, it is simply harmful to marry Baron Charlie now.

Even if Baron Charlie's family sold the Gerald Chamber of Commerce, there were a lot of money in the Kingdom of Zeland. As a veteran magician, the Earl Garcia's family is definitely richer than the newly promoted Gerald family. However, the Earl Garcia's family has been living together for five generations and has much more family members.

On the way to the royal city, Baron Charlie thought it was very simple. When he went there this time, he would marry his fiancee Daisy, and then asked Count Garcia to take over Link Port and the seafood company. His uncle couldn't do it because his uncle was the new mage, and his uncle Peter was the kind of person who had no use of his inheritance and was not accepted as a disciple by the mage. All magic has to be studied a little by little by little by himself.

Daisy's grandfather, Earl Garcia, was not only an old magician, but also Garcia was a young genius at the time. When she was very young, she was taken as a disciple by a magician. She advanced to a magician at the age of 40 and had a bright future.

With Link Port and Seafood Company, which have huge revenues and profits, it can completely revive the Gerrard Chamber of Commerce.

Although the total business of Link Port and Seafood Company is much less than that of the Gerald Chamber of Commerce back then, the profit is much greater. By doing so, it is actually more profitable than the previous Gerald Chamber of Commerce. The most popular ones in the sea are fish and various monsters in the sea. And the number is endless, unlike the wild beasts in the land. The fish and monsters in the sea are at least calculated in millions, and there are also many calculated in billions.

Charlie knew that two large iron ships under Link Port took turns to go out to sea to fish for up to ten days to return full load. A boat of fish that returned home was equivalent to thousands of cows. Raising thousands of cows to slaughter requires at least a herd of tens of thousands of cows. It takes at least three and a half years to four years from conception to slaughter. During this period, a large amount of mineral salt feed and a lot of labor costs, including but not limited to veterinarians.

You can only slaughter thousands of cows here in three or four years, but a seafood company can produce so much meat in ten days and half a month. The cost of producing meat in this seafood company is extremely low.

What's more, some of the medium and low-level monster meats are also sold on the market. Anyone with a little money wants to eat some monster meat to nourish the body, whether it is a mage, a warrior, or a merchant noble.

If the mage and the warriors do not eat the meat of the monster, their bodies will not be able to hold on. Merchants and nobles are purely rich and followers. Some monster meat, such as the legs of the sea frog, are recognized as delicious foods and can be sold at very high prices.

Thinking of the seafood company almost monopolizing the profits, Charlie was so excited that he would give Earl Garcia a share at that time, so he would not be afraid that Earl Garcia would not be moved. He would also avenge his uncle.

While Baron Charlie was still on the way to Zeland City, Daisy's parents took Daisy to meet Earl Garcia and discussed with Earl Garcia about Daisy's breaking engagement.

Daisy's mother: "Dad, that Charlie is a playboy. Daisy's marriage to him will ruin Daisy's life."

Although Earl Garcia is a ruthless magician, she still expressed her credit in front of credit. Earl Garcia said: "I don't think so. You just think that Earl Peter has dropped his level now and has sold it. Daisy and his nephew Charlie are not good at it. But I think this will not harm Daisy for the rest of her life.

Girls are born to get married. It doesn’t matter who they marry, as long as the other party is really good to Daisy. Moreover, as long as I am still alive, no one dares to treat Daisy badly. If there is no accident, I can live for 170 or 80 years. What are you afraid of?"

Daisy's mother: "I didn't say Charlie is bad, but wouldn't it be better if Daisy married a young and talented magician. Anyway, she was just engaged before, so since she was engaged, could she break the engagement?"

Earl Garcia: "You kid is really ignorant. Earl Peter is still alive, and even the mage bank is still giving him annual dividends from the magician. The drop realm is the drop realm. As a magician, who doesn't have this day?

Besides, I actually disagree with Daisy marrying a magician. It is great to marry an ordinary person. You should know that the body of a magician is even weaker than that of an ordinary person. Although we magicians often say that magic is omnipotent, only we know that magic is not omnipotent. At least magic cannot make our bodies stronger.

What magicians have to deal with every day are either all kinds of dangerous monsters or even more dangerous magic circles. If they are pharmacists, they will stay with various ores and poisonous herbs every day.

If it weren't for being able to devote most of the energy of life to the study of magic, it wouldn't be considered a genius magician at all. But a genius magician would definitely not have time to accompany Daisy after marriage.

After your mother married me, she went to some organizations such as cocktail parties, dance parties, concerts, and book clubs every day. It was because I didn’t have much time to accompany her.”

Daisy's mother still refused to give up: "But..."

Earl Garcia interrupted Daisy's mother: "I heard that little guy is on the way to the royal city. Let's talk about it. Maybe you will change your mind."

As he said this, Daisy's mother had to agree: "Okay, Daddy."

Earl Garcia understood his daughter-in-law's admiration for magicians or mages. But this is not the reason for letting her granddaughter marry a mage. There are actually more genius magicians. Every year, the new students recruited by magic academies in various places are almost all magic geniuses selected from one in a hundred or even one in a thousand. However, among these magic geniuses, there are also very, very few people who actually become mages.

If you really want to be regarded as a disciple by a magician, your talent is not that important, but more important is character. In the Magic Academy, Garcia himself is not the fastest and best person to learn magic in that class. His teacher is interested in Garcia's emphasis on commitment and credit.

When a magician accepts an apprentice, he will hand over all the magic knowledge he has learned to his apprentice without reservation, so that the apprentice can easily grasp everything about the teacher, including the teacher's weaknesses. If the disciple has bad intentions, it is very easy to take down the teacher.

Because those who can enter the Magic Academy have no less qualifications, no matter how bad the qualifications are, they will choose according to their character when accepting disciples. If they raise an ungrateful wolf, some people will play in the future.

For Charlie, Earl Garcia believed that it was nothing bad to be an ordinary rich man. He was also the Baron's wife. Shouldn't you be busy as a businessman? Speaking of which, some businessmen are even busier than magicians. This is also the reason why Earl Garcia insisted on not letting her children and grandchildren touch business. It would be great to have time to spend with her family, of course she couldn't do it, after all, a magician.

After Charlie's carriage arrived at the royal city, he visited his uncle first. Peter left Charlie to leave after dinner, and asked the housekeeper to see him off. He didn't mention staying at home or something. Charlie knew that his uncle didn't like him and didn't care much. After all, Charlie had never seen his uncle several times since he was a child. The magician was very busy.

Charlie then brought gifts to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Charlie's family experienced a major change and he became less arrogant than before. After meeting him, he was depressed and turned a little in front of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law. He was very popular with his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Even Daisy's mother, who was most dissatisfied with Charlie, thought that this child was still good. She was a little arbitrary before, but her father-in-law was right. Daisy didn't have to marry a magician or a businessman.

Even though Charlie pretended to behave today, he finally knew the power of awe. Anyway, his father-in-law was still there for one day, so Charlie didn't dare to treat Daisy. How many years can Charlie live? It took thirty or forty years to survive. How many years can he live? It's easy to say.

In the Earl of Garcia's house, Charlie lived there and met Daisy several times. The two had met two years ago. At that time, they felt that Daisy was still a half-aged child, and with a little shyness, she met the young Charlie with a young man surrounded by several close maids.

Now seeing you again, Daisy gives Charlie the feeling that the buds of flowers have opened up, not only has they grown taller, but also their figure is not as big as the ones they used to have. Now Daisy is fourteen and a half years old, and her figure should be convex and concave.

Moreover, Charlie also saw that Daisy now also used the most popular waist-closing tights among the female nobles in the royal city. When the waist is thin, it will naturally appear to be bulging up and down.

This waist-hugging tights have many disadvantages, such as not being able to bend over and breathe heavily. Women with work must not wear them, but for women from a noble family, they have no jobs, as long as they can shape their bodies and look good.

A few days later, Count Garcia met Baron Charlie, and Baron Charlie told all the thoughts on the way to Count Garcia without reservation.

Facing Baron Charlie who still wanted to go to the seafood company, Earl Garcia said angrily: "These are all bastards. In order to seize other people's property, you Gerald family has already lost a magician. Do you want me to do the second one?

There was a voice at home before that I wanted Daisy to break the engagement with you. I insisted on not allowing you to be happy in the future. Now it seems that I understand why Earl Peter did not leave you to live in his house. You are simply a disaster star. If you marry you, our family will have to be unlucky.

Forget it, I was wrong before, and your marriage with Daisy was given up. Even if you were a villain, I couldn’t let the Davis family be implicated because of you.”

Charlie was thinking of persuading a few more words: "Earl Garcia..."

But Earl Garcia didn't want to hear: "The housekeeper gave the guests."

Before Charlie went out, Earl Garcia said to the housekeeper again: "Tell Daisy's parents that I don't agree with Daisy's marriage. Break the engagement and cut off contact with Charlie or something."

Daisy's mother was surprised when she heard this and ran over and asked: "Dad, why did you break off the engagement? You didn't agree to break off the engagement last time, and you were the one who insisted on breaking the engagement this time. You always have to give a reason. I think Charlie is a young man, which is much better than the young people in the royal city who turn under women's skirts every day."

Earl Garcia lit a cigar for himself and said slowly: "It doesn't matter whether a person is good or not. This Baron Charlie is the legendary disaster star. Do you know the disaster star?"

Daisy's mother shook her head: "I don't know."
