In Taut Manor, Joshua understood the heart of the earth element because of his first meditation, and he is still excited. ~,
However, because the specialty of Heart of the Earth Element has the attribute of calming the heart, Joshua now looks very ordinary on the surface.
Joshua's strength has improved a lot, but in the eyes of Liang Lidong and others, that's all. The heart of the earth element is a rare specialty in the eyes of ordinary professionals, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a genius. Such a genius can be regarded as an object of attention wherever it is placed.
But whether it is Liang Lidong, Emma, Alice, not to mention Kyle who has the blood of the brave, they all have their own special abilities, so Joshua's heart of the earth element is really good in the eyes of several people, but And that's all.
Because the city of Sicilia was almost destroyed, and now the whole city is sleeping, and there is a shortage of stones.
Because the large quarries are too far away from the city of Sicily, it takes time and manpower to transport them. Therefore, several small quarries near the city of Sicily suddenly became fragrant buns. There is a small quarry behind Taut Manor. In the past, because of the curse, no one went to mine it, but now that the curse has been removed, Liang Lidong invited more than a dozen miners to mine a pile of stones and piled them outside the manor.
This was a real advertisement, and people came to the door the next day, and these people had a great relationship with Joshua.
The Roden family... the family where Joshua's fiancée belongs.
The person who came was a middle-aged butler. Generally, such purchases are done by noble butlers.
He knocked on the gate of the manor, and when he saw Joshua coming out, he backed away with some fear, but when he saw that the abscess on Joshua's face had disappeared, he was surprised: "Boy, your curse has not disappeared!" gone?"
"Luo Shide, long time no see." Seeing the housekeeper of the Roden family, Joshua had an unfriendly expression.
"Your life is terrible." Luo Shide's old face was full of sympathy: "You survived such a curse, and the entire city of Sicily was hit by disaster, but you have nothing to do here. And you You can still mine stones, it seems that your family will not disappear in a short time."
Joshua frowned and said, "Luo Shide, are you here to mock me? Just go if you have something to do, and get out if you have nothing to do."
No wonder Joshua has a bad attitude. When his family was cursed two years ago. It was the Roden family, once the closest ally, who took the lead in betraying, that's all, it's human nature to stay away from danger. But afterward, they still chose to add insult to injury in various ways, and they also tried their best to belittle them at the banquets of various nobles. It even disgusted and slandered the Taut family.
When Joshua saw the members of the Rawden family, he didn't directly kick them up, which was considered quite generous.
"The temper is still rising." Luo Shide chuckled, pointing to the stones piled outside the manor: "We packed all the stones in your quarry, and after they were quarried, they were directly sent to our Rawden family. In view of the good relationship between our two families, one hundred gold coins is considered cheap for you."
"roll!"
After Joshua cursed, he swung his face and closed the iron gate of the manor.
Although Joshua doesn't know much about business matters. But he also knew that his small quarry should be worth at least two hundred gold coins.
The reason why he sold it at a low price a few days ago was because he and Julie had reached the point of desperation, and in that case, even if the manor was sold at a low price, no one would dare to buy it, except the teacher.
Liang Lidong told him that if someone came to buy stones from the quarry, they would at least ask for 600 gold. This changed hands. That is, three times the price fell into Liang Lidong's pocket.
This was originally the property of the Taut family, but now it has become someone else's property. But Joshua has no opinion at all, he knows very well, if it is not the teacher. He and Julie should have starved to death a few days ago. If it weren't for the teacher, the curse of Tout Manor would not be solved at all.
Now he understands one thing... In this world, money and status are important, but the most important thing is strength.
The teacher and his friends are strong, so they can lift the curse that almost wiped out the Taut family. So they can let the elves retreat, so that the manor will not be damaged in any way.
As long as there is strength, there will be money and status.
As long as he has the strength, one day he will be able to trample the Roden family under his feet, and make grandpa regret it until he dies of old age.
Liang Lidong didn't know what was going on in Joshua's mind. He was currently in contact with the leader of the Assassin's Guild in the slums. If he wanted to find information, the Assassin's Guild was the fastest way.
Of course, he didn't put all his hopes on the Killer Guild. He also went to several civilian taverns to release news. If anyone knows the reason why the two souls died naked, he will be rewarded with one hundred gold coins. Can reward ten gold coins.
Although those who are doing bad things in the dark hide well, there will always be clues in everything. As long as he is caught, he believes that he can follow the clues to pull the other party out.
Emma, Kyle, and Alice continued to go to the mercenary union to undertake tasks and exercise their combat effectiveness.
Day by day, there is no leader about the elves' affairs, but the small quarry has been taken over by someone. A very generous bishop of Guangming bought the whole small quarry for 700 gold coins. Down.
This business is a big profit... Kyle was astonished when he saw the gold coins in the seven boxes. Now he admires his teacher's ability to make money more and more. He really deserves to be the priest of Goddess Woking.
Not long after the bishop of the Temple of Light left, people from the Roden family came to the door again.
This time it was a woman, a pretty woman.
She has fiery red hair, a graceful figure, a tall figure, and an icy temperament.
Generally, ice casters have a cold personality. The same is true for ice magic swordsmen.
With more than twenty people, she knocked on the gate of the manor, and it was Julie who opened the door for her.
Julie looked at the woman in surprise: "Miss Yiwen, you are here!"
At this time, the abscess on Julie's body has completely healed, and under the treatment of hydrotherapy, her appearance has returned to her original appearance, which is very beautiful, even more beautiful than Ivan's.
Yiwen looked at Julie up and down for a while, then raised his white-gloved right hand, and slapped Julie directly on the face, hitting the girl backwards and falling to the ground.
Her face turned red quickly, and then began to turn black again, swollen very high.
"Where is Joshua? Tell him to come out to see me." Ivan stared at Julie coldly: "As I said, your face is very annoying. If I see you, hit it once. Either you destroy it yourself. Or I'll help you destroy it. If your face still looks like this next time I see you, I'll just break your legs."
Julie got up and ran back directly, she was a maid. Naturally weak against the nobles.
Not long after, Joshua came out, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He dragged a long sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword passed across the ground, occasionally sparking a few sparks.
He stopped more than ten meters in front of Yiwen, his eyes narrowed into slits: "You hit Julie just now?"
"So what if it's me?" Yiwen looked Joshua up and down: "I heard that your illness was cured, so I came here to take a look. I didn't expect that you not only recovered from the illness, but also became stronger. It seems that you It’s really the source of the rumors, exchanging the lives of your family members for your own strength, what’s the difference between this and offering sacrifices.”
"I don't understand. Why did the Rawden family betray us so quickly?" Joshua looked at the woman who had been unforgettable in front of him, his chest was already full of anger, but the ability of the heart of the earth element But it made him calm down like a wooden man: "I don't even understand what kind of enmity Julie has with you, and you want to target her like this."
Yiwen didn't answer Joshua's question, her eyes fell on Joshua's long sword, with a cold sneer on her face: "That's right. It's a bit stomachy, and you dare to come to see me with a long sword Me. Are you trying to fight me?"
"I want to make a case for Julie."
"No problem, but the truth is related to strength."
Yiwen pulled out the long sword in his hand, it was a magical weapon. There are light silver magic patterns on it, and when it is unsheathed, a layer of white smoke rises from the sword body.
"You can fight with me, don't worry, I won't kill you, but after you lose, you will give me the quarry for free."
"The quarry has been sold to someone else."
"That's your business, I don't care, I'm only responsible for defeating you."
Joshua shook his head: "I can't decide this matter, but I will still fight you."
"It doesn't matter, I have other ideas." Yiwen smiled with a bit of viciousness: "If you lose, it doesn't matter if you don't give me the quarry, but I will make your friend, Zhu Li killed you. You are a nobleman, and I will cause trouble if I kill you, but killing a maid is just a matter of paying a few silver coins."
"You poisonous woman!" Even with the heart of the earth element by his side, Joshua could no longer maintain his composure: "I only thought you were a good woman when I was blind two years ago."
"Whether I am a good woman or not is not up to you to decide." Yiwen slowly walked towards Joshua with his long sword straight.
At this moment, if there was no fight, Joshua knew that he had been forced to the point where he had no way out.
He took the lead in rushing towards Yiwen with a long sword in hand, with a strong momentum.
It's a pity that there is too much difference in strength between the two sides, no matter how strong the momentum is, it is useless. With just a light pick, Yiwen knocked Joshua's long sword away, and kicked Joshua to the ground.
Although Joshua is very talented, he has not formally learned swordsmanship. Although he has comprehended the heart of the earth element, he has not learned a single magic.
Liang Lidong planned to let him meditate first, and learn to move agilely. After laying the groundwork, he would teach him swordsmanship and magic.
No one thought that the members of the Roden family would come to the door so quickly.
Yiwen's sword tip lightly touched Joshua's throat, and she looked down at her former fiancé: "The strength is not small, but it is still a piece of trash. In fact, I didn't like you at the beginning. If it weren't for the strength of your Taut family, how could my father have made you my fiancé! My ideal husband must not only have a handsome appearance, but also be a strong man."
"You don't have any strength at all. What's the use of having looks... Oh, you can sell chrysanthemums. I think this career is very suitable for a sissy like you."
Yiwen's long sword was pointed at Joshua's throat, and the other foot stepped on his chest, speaking disgusting language like a queen.
Joshua was so excited that his face was flushed and his veins were bulging. He struggled desperately, but the opponent's foot stepped on him, like a mountain was pressing him down. He tried his best, but he couldn't move himself up. .
"Now it's your choice." Yiwen looked down at the man under his feet contemptuously: "Do you want Julie's life, or the quarry?"
Joshua is so angry that he can't add more, but he is extremely entangled. If it was a few days ago, he would definitely say without hesitation that he would take Julie's life. After all, the quarry is outside the body. But now the quarry is not his property, but the teacher's. He has no way to decide to sell the quarry, and the quarry has already been ordered by the bishop of the Temple of Light.
"It seems that you are going to the quarry." Ivan said cheerfully: "It turns out that Julie is still not very important in your heart. You, Joshua, are also a person who loves money. Julie treats you How good, you have to give up on her... "
"You fart!" Joshua yelled angrily.
Yiwen smiled slightly, and then stepped heavily on Joshua's lower abdomen. The latter arched in pain like a boiled prawn, and at the same time let out a huh huh suffocation sound.
Yiwen's attack was too heavy, and Joshua almost fainted.
After snorting disdainfully, Yiwen stepped over Joshua's head and walked to the front manor. She was about to kill the maid named Julie.
But at this moment, a wind blade shot towards her, Yiwen quickly jumped back to avoid it, and then turned his head to look at the direction of the attack.
She saw two women and a man on the left side of the road, a very handsome boy, a ridiculously beautiful girl, and a beautiful half-elf riding a unicorn.
"This is our personal grievance, please don't interfere." Yiwen didn't know the figures of these three people, and thought they were just passing by.
The Roden family's intelligence capabilities are not strong. Yiwen heard from the steward that the Taut family has stones here, and that Joshua's body has recovered. She came here just to take down the small quarry. She didn't know what happened to Joshua's Taut's house recently.
The Roden family was attacked by the elves a few nights ago. Although the core family members did not die, the manor was almost destroyed, and a large amount of stone was urgently needed for reconstruction.
The Roden family is not considered a big family in Sicilia City. There are big families standing behind other small quarries. They can't afford to provoke them, but it is not a problem to provoke Taut, a small declining family.
With such thoughts in mind, Yi Wen showed up at the gate of the manor. Things were going smoothly, but she never expected that someone would meddle in their own business. (.)
