Chapter 59 Cooperation
This is a wealthy area, completely different from the big market, central streets, or monster mixed-race settlements. Lu En got off the carriage on the side of the road and walked forward along the cobblestone path.
The fences next to the street are all surrounded by the light of runes, and soft white light shines around. There are no street lights here, but magic keeps the place lit forever.
You can see that there are even horses in the garden in the distance, and the fountains on the lawn change patterns from time to time.
"I thought the people in the United Chamber of Commerce were just like the big market." Lu En looked around and couldn't help but say.
"How is it possible? After all, you are considered an upper class person in Lalante. Not everyone is as approachable as the landlady. The one we met today may not be easy to get along with." The old man explained to Lu En.
During the conversation, he pushed open an iron gate on the side of the street and said to Lu En: "This way, right here."
Lu En followed him in. It was a typical rich man's house.
The flat stone surface is covered with a red carpet, and servants who look very well-educated are waiting for the guests here.
The old man and Lu En stepped on the carpet and walked into the tall single-family villa.
After Lu En walked by, this expensive red carpet was taken away after being used once, and then replaced with a new one.
"It's quite grand. If I remember correctly, the basic base of the United Chamber of Commerce is not the big merchants, but craftsmen and grassroots workers, right? Is this considered forgetting one's roots?" Lu En asked the old man, in his tone
There seems to be some objections to such a luxurious house.
To be honest, he did have an opinion. His impression of most of the decision-makers of the Joint Chamber of Commerce came from the proprietress. The calm and gentle middle-aged woman gave him a good impression, and she did not feel domineering.
But what I'm seeing now is a huge problem.
First of all, the first point made Lu En feel that this person is probably not very smart. The United Chamber of Commerce and the Hall of Glow have different support from the aristocratic class. The main strength of the United Chamber of Commerce comes from the middle and lower classes, which is Larante's hometown.
Only with the support of craftsmen and laborers can we compete with other forces.
As a decision-maker of the United Chamber of Commerce, no matter whether you benefit from it or not, or even if you are pretending to do so, you must at least appear to share the joys and sorrows with your fellow workers, so that you will not lose support easily.
But what I see now is completely different. Showing off one's wealth openly and still living in a wealthy area is cutting oneself off from one's own roots. People who cannot see this shortcoming must have bad minds. Lu En doesn't
I like to cooperate with people who are weak-minded, especially those who like to show off their fools.
This kind of fool who has status and likes to show off will usually provoke hidden masters or young and talented young heroes. In the end, Lu En himself will be killed along with the peerless genius who appears from nowhere.
Lose.
This is not alarmist, Lu En thinks it is definitely possible.
Seemingly sensing Lu En's thoughts, the old man smiled bitterly, and then they walked into the luxurious villa together.
"Welcome!" A man was waiting in the room. He stood up, spread out his hands, and said enthusiastically: "Is this the great hero who killed Uraciel? You are just as impressive as the rumors say, I
It’s called Ori! I hope we can have a happy cooperation!”
This is a middle-aged man with dark skin, a face full of wrinkles, and many scars on his body. It does not look like the scars left by a battle, but more like the scars of a farmer rolling around in the fields.
Different from the luxury outside, apart from the clothes on his body, this man looked exactly like a middle-aged farmer.
His attitude was very warm and polite, and he also respected Lu En.
The old man nodded: "I will wait for you outside. After you have discussed it, you can call me. You can take action at any time from today to tomorrow."
After saying that, he walked out of the villa and closed the door.
In the entire hall of the villa, only Lu En and Ori were left. They were in the hall, but outside the hall, many male and female servants could be seen guarding the outside of the room. There must be more servants elsewhere.
There was a table in the center of the hall. There were velvet sofas on both sides of the table, which looked quite soft. Ori sat on one of them, and then raised his hand to indicate that Lu En could sit opposite him.
"Introduce yourself, Ori, I am the leader of carriages and logistics in the city. Nearly half of the carriages in Lalante belong to me. I think you should have heard that this time I am the leader to recruit the people of radiance.
I think you already know the details of the carriage house in the hall." Ori said to Lu En in a relaxed tone.
"Although you may think it is nonsense, I still want to give you some advice, Lucien. This place is a noble area. Although the whole family is surrounded by iron gates and high walls, it is only when you really go deep into it that you will find that the aristocratic area
The various dramas staged inside are much more lively than they appear on the surface. After all, unlike the petty quarrels of street vendors in Central Park, these nobles are thinking about big-ticket business. I like it.
These nobles are called high-level robbers, because what they do is no different from robbery, but they will not be punished for it, but because these actions make them rich."
"And now we are going to take out the benefits from these people. You know, even if it is an iron rooster that doesn't plucking a dime, some rust will fall off after a long time, but if we want to take out even the most from the hands of these nobles who eat people without spitting out their bones,
Even a little bit of iron filings are just a dream. The nobles are not iron roosters, they are glass roosters, and they will not show any flaws even after a hundred years."
Ori said to Lu En seriously.
Lu En listened to these words carefully, and then couldn't help but look around, surrounded by paintings decorated at the entrance, huge woolen tapestries, maids in uniform uniforms on both sides of the corridor, made of carefully polished brass
The candlestick is made and then embedded in the wall. Inside the candlestick is a magic array that emits a soft light. It does not turn off even during the day, so that the place is filled with light anytime and anywhere.
"Your words make sense, but they don't seem to be convincing." Lu En said, spreading his hands.
"This is to blend in with them. At least one person in the United Chamber of Commerce must show that he is attracted by glory and wealth and is not so united. I think you can understand this." Ori said frankly, without any intention of hiding anything.
"I hope so." Lu En expressed his understanding, and then he said: "I am here to cooperate with your actions, so there is no need to have any other ideas. If there is any need, just give me instructions. This is our covenant, and I will
I will fully cooperate with you."
