Chapter 50 Earl of Winter Ting(1/2)
As soon as Phyllis left, Helini couldn't stay there. The golden ticket and frost fire ring in his hand were as hot as he stuffed it into his arms and left in a hurry.
His behavior was a bit abnormal, but in the eyes of those who didn't know, he just thought that he was rich and did not dare to stay for a long time, so he didn't think much about it.
On the contrary, Gallovenna was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She wanted to leave but couldn't leave immediately. She barely calmed down and forced the guests around her to smile and continue to communicate.
Renn looked at Helini's leaving figure and gave Viola a wink.
What he meant was whether to find someone to follow Helini and not let him run away.
Viola shook her head slightly, not accepting the proposal.
The trade fair continued, but the guests still talked about the big deal just now, gathering in groups of three or five, and each small circle was discussing related topics.
Viola's face gradually calmed down, but there was still a trace of anger in her eyes, which made people feel that she was in a bad mood now.
"What a good actor."
Rennes complained secretly, while picking up the food to fill his stomach, while secretly observing Gallovenna.
When he was seventy-four, Gallovenna finally couldn't help but say goodbye to Viola. Viola calmly sent him away.
The trade fair came to an end and guests left one after another.
Renn returned to the fifth floor, and soon after, Viola also came up.
As soon as she entered the door, she asked, "Ren, how did you find that there was something wrong with that soul stone?"
Obviously, this question has been in her mind for a long time. Although all the signs indicate that the big deal at night was a scam and was targeted at herself, she still didn't understand how Renn saw through the truth of the demon soul at first glance.
Ren had already thought of the words, stretched out two fingers and smiled, "Two reasons."
"First, I told you just now that if the demon soul of that mountain giant is real, why didn't Helini merge himself? Mastering the second elemental bloodline is a huge improvement for the warlock. It seems that it is not a loss to exchange demon souls for the best ring, but he missed a great opportunity to increase his strength."
"This is Herliny's biggest doubt."
He paused and continued, "The second reason is a bit coincidental. The demon soul I merged with comes with a very rare visual sensory element that can assist in identifying the demon soul, so I realized at a glance that the demon soul is fake and is not a mountain giant at all."
Renn's words are seven points true and three points false, and appropriately showing some ability to identify demon souls is also beneficial to him.
If you can get the name of the Soul-Search Master in the future, you can also cover up the Soul Eye.
Viola lightly tapped her head and sat down next to Rennes.
She didn't ask what the visual elements of Rennes were. This was the biggest secret of the extraordinary. Her focus was that the demon soul was actually fake.
"It's not the demon soul of the mountain giant? What would it be?"
Renn expressed his guess, "It is very likely that he is a mutated mountain ogre, and he is related to the mountain giant. The two are very similar, so Helini dared to use it for fraud and was confident that he had deceived Levinster."
"It turned out to be an alpine ogre."
Viola was afraid that if Levinster failed to recognize the authenticity of the demon soul, he would lose more than 20,000 yuan today!
Violet Home seems to be doing well, but the competition in this industry is very fierce, and more than 20,000 yuan is her profit for half a year.
Not to mention, even the reputation of the trade fair may be ruined, and it will be difficult to start again in the future.
In other words, Rennes saved Violet House tonight.
Not only did he avoid a big pit, Rennes also cooperated with him tacitly and pushed the annoying Phyllis into the big pit. When Phyllis found that there was something wrong with the demon soul, he would probably vomit blood.
Viola felt happy when she thought of this.
She stared at Renn and said softly: "Luckily I have you today."
Looking at the blue eyes that seemed to be able to speak and the sincerity on her face, Renne was very helpful and waved his hand and said, "You reacted quickly, noticed something was wrong, and trusted me so much."
If it were someone else, in such a large transaction, it would be difficult to believe that a first-level wizard who had just become an extraordinary person, Rennes had never shown the ability of a soul-study master before.
However, Viola believed him without hesitation.
This moved Rennes a little, and it felt good to be believed.
Viola smiled and said, "Of course I believe in you."
She suddenly got up and took out a deal contract from the drawer of her desk, ignited a flame in her hand, and soon burned the contract to ashes.
The ashes are automatically without wind, condense into a ball and fall into the trash can.
Renn saw clearly that this contract was signed by himself when he bought the World Tree Seed. Burning the contract means writing off and he no longer has to pay back more than a thousand gold coins.
"Thank you." Renn didn't say much and expressed his gratitude.
Viola disagreed, as if it was just a trivial matter, and smiled and said, "This is what you deserve, and it is far more than that. I owe you a favor."
Renne wanted to make a joke, what should be used for favors, but he saw Viola sitting back again, showing a meditative look on his face.
Silence fell in the room.
In the eyes of the soul, Viola's emotions are very complicated, but relatively calm. Obviously, she is thinking about many things, which should be related to the scam at night.
Rennes did not bother her, but quietly admired the beauty in front of her.
There are not many opportunities like this.
After a while, Viola accidentally turned around and saw Renn looking at him in a daze. His ears suddenly turned red, and he felt embarrassed and a little proud. He hummed and gave a reminder.
Renne withdrew his gaze a little embarrassedly. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and pretended nothing happened.
"Are you thinking about your uncle's question?"
He changed the subject and tried to resolve the awkward atmosphere.
Viola couldn't help but look slightly stunned and said in surprise: "Can you even see this?"
She didn't remember mentioning Uncle Gallovenna to Renn. Before tonight, Renn didn't even know that she was a member of the Duke's family. If she hadn't known it before she had paid special attention to Gallovenna's actions at the trade fair, it would be difficult to find out that he was Herliny's accomplice.
This guy has too keen observation skills!
Renn laughed lightly on the surface, thinking that this pussy was very successful, and finally shocked Viola, hehe.
Viola shook her head and sighed.
"Since you've seen it, I have nothing to hide." Viola looked as if she was not afraid of being a public eye and smiled bitterly: "That Helini should be the liar found by my uncle Gallovenna. It is very likely that even the demon soul of the mountain giant is his thing."
Renne was not surprised at all.
This kind of struggle within a large family is not uncommon. It has been performed countless times in many TV series, and its excitement is only slightly worse than that of palace fighting scenes.
He just didn't understand the motivation of Gallowayna to destroy Violet House.
"What's the benefit of doing this?"
“There are so many benefits.”
Viola explained: "Before I took over, Violet House was operating at a loss and almost went bankrupt."
"I spent a lot of energy and costs to get better and start making money."
"But, the Violet House does not belong entirely to me. I only own 30% of it, and the rest belong to the Duke. The profits I earn every year must be paid to the Duke. If the management is not good, I will lose the store and hand it over to other people in the family."
"So that's the case." Renne probably understood and asked, "Did Gallowayna fall in love with Violet House?"
He noticed something that Viola called Duke of Silver Star, just like outsiders, also called Duke, which shows that she was not so close to Duke of Silver Star.
Duke of Silver Star seems to attach great importance to wealth, not like the head of a family, but more like the chairman of a large group.
Viola shook her head slightly: "He looks at much more than this store."
"The total value of this store is actually not high. If you transfer it all, you can probably sell it for 100,000 gold shields."
"Gallovenna has more assets than me. He has two textile factories, a coal mine, a newspaper, and a river transportation company, as well as shares in Longshande Pier and dozens of shops, with a total value of more than 300,000 gold shields."
Rennes was stunned when he heard this. The people from the Duke's family were too rich!
It can be hundreds of thousands of gold shields at any time, which is equivalent to hundreds of millions of copper coins, and can match several "small targets".
No wonder Gallovenna is so popular at the trade fair, worth hundreds of thousands of gold shields, who doesn’t want to curry favor with it?
But his methods were too jealous, and his eating habits were too ugly, and he actually attacked the niece of the family.
It seems that the greed of capitalists is the same in any world!
Viola did not know what Rennes thought and continued: "However, like me, Gallowayna has 70% of its assets under her name belongs to the Duke and must be paid regularly every year."
"Dearmen like me and Gallovenna, who manage assets for the Duke, have dozens of people in the family. Whoever makes more money can get more assets and have close ties to the Duke."
"The status within the family, unless they are legendary extraordinary people, speak with their wealth contribution."
Speaking of this, Viola's eyes were full of helplessness, and her expression showed a little fatigue.
Rennes suddenly felt a little sympathetic to her.
The Duke of Silver Star is too harsh. He feels that he is not maintaining the family, but is operating the family as a company. He feels cold and not very warm.
Rennes can easily guess the reason why Duke Silver Star did this.
Everything is about building a floating city!
The floating city of the empire is a famous existence throughout Alan Ershi. It is a symbol of the status of the Holy Soul Wizard and has terrifying powers that ordinary people can't imagine.
However, in people's impression, the floating city also represents another thing, that is wealth!
Each floating city is piled up with astronomical golden shields, which is even more tempting than the rumored dragon treasure.
