Chapter 450: Chapter 454, change of house

Dorothy’s father, York, was drinking tea in the manor of the Earl of Olsenburg.

Old York was holding the tea in the cup in fear. Judging from the color and fragrance, it should be the first-class jasmine tea from Faroese.

But he was not in the mood to taste the tea in the cup now.

“Master Lars, are you sure that is really the sage of Roursk?”

Count Cruz paced back and forth in the hall of the manor. The spell caster who had just returned from Nolan and his eldest son, alterk, stood respectfully to the side.

“Even if I’m blind, I can’t have mistaken my teacher for someone else. Sir Count, my teacher did indeed protect that little girl named Dorothy.”The spell caster named Lars reported everything that had happened in Nolan.

“Dorothy, Dorothy…”

Count Cruz repeated the name over and over again, then looked at Old York who was standing on the other side. The old merchant almost could not hold his teacup.

“Why would an ordinary merchant’s daughter be protected by the gray-clothed man? When did Nolan’s seven sages become so kind-hearted?”

“This… My Lord, before I came here, I collected information on this aspect on Nolan’s new spell, ‘Magic Net’. It’s said that the little girl named Dorothy won the runner-up in the open tournament called Hearthstone, and she once defeated my mentor in the competition,”said the spell caster.

“Defeated the sages?”Count Cruz widened his eyes. “Wait… What’s the competition of Nolan’s Open Tournament?”

“It is said to be… a card game called Hearthstone legend. It is very popular among the Nolan Dwarves, and my mentor seems to be very interested in it.”

“Card game.”

Hearing this, Count Cruz did not know what to say. In Orson Castle, there were also some card games that were popular for ‘winning points’, however, this game was always on the same level as gambling and those shady underground activities.

No noble who was on the surface would touch the things played by those rats.

But in Nolan, some kind of card game was popular? They even held a competition openly, and even the sage participated in the competition!

All of this seemed to challenge the worldview of the Earl of Cruz, which made the Earl of Cruz want to find someone to ask, “What happened to Nolan recently? !”

“Father, they’re just a group of spell casters. Is there a need for us to be so afraid… ?”Attek looked at his father, who was pacing back and forth, and showed a puzzled look.

“Just a group of spell casters?”Count Cruz sighed at his son’s ignorance. “Listen carefully, attek! “Now, our Great Emperor, His Majesty Biskelyn, is one of the students of the gray-clothed men! “Including the one or two introductory classes I attended in Nolan when I was young, at least one-tenth of the inscriptions of order in this world were discovered by the gray-clothed man. Do you still think he is just a Spellcaster?”

”…”alterk opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer, and could only choose to fall into silence.

“Sir Count!”

The report wasn’t over yet. A spy wearing leather armor walked quickly into the hall of the manor.

“We found the trace of that little girl named Dorothy.”

“Where!”

“The headquarters of the silver-patterned chamber of Commerce.”

Count Cruz walked out of the manor without hesitation. The people around him followed him.

Hearing the news of Dorothy’s return, her father York’s heart sank.

He was not sure whether the count would completely demolish his chamber of Commerce headquarters and take away his daughter.

With fear and unease, the manager of the silver-patterned chamber of Commerce immediately followed the count.

With the count’s acquiescence, he got into a magic car.

The magic car sped through the streets of Fort Orson for about ten minutes before arriving at a street that Old York was familiar with.

Now, he could only pray that his daughter had long learned that the count had brought people to this place and quickly ran back to Nolan!

But the moment he got off the car, he saw Dorothy standing at the door of the Chamber of Commerce.

Her long wine-red hair that reached her waist was so eye-catching no matter where she stood.

“There’s no need for these anymore. Move them out! Also, move those glass windows in the Hall!”

Dorothy carried a pile of boxes filled with sundries and placed them outside the Chamber of Commerce. The few remaining servants in the Chamber of Commerce were also constantly moving things in and out.

What… was she planning to do?

York was stunned as he watched his daughter not only order the servants to move the furnishings in the Chamber of Commerce outside, but also start to ‘demolish’his own house.

“Father! You’re back!”

Dorothy saw her father standing by the street. She was in an extremely good mood after successfully recruiting a monster-level ‘investor’.

When she walked to her father, she suddenly found that the highest manager of the city, Count Cruz, was standing by the side.

“Sir Cruz.”Dorothy had long expected that this day would come. She was neither servile nor overbearing and wanted to raise her skirt to the person in front of her.

However, Dorothy suddenly realized that in order to carry the sundries, she was still wearing the simple men’s clothes. There was no skirt for her to carry..

“No need. Are You Dorothy?”Count Cruz looked at the girl in front of him. He understood why his eldest son was so fascinated by her.

This kind of girl who was both beautiful and could roll up her sleeves to work was indeed very popular among the men of the country of steel.

But now, Count Cruz was not here for a blind date.

“Yes,”Dorothy answered.

“I have a question to ask you,”Count Cruz asked straightforwardly the question in his heart. “What is your relationship with one of Nolan’s Seven Sages, the gray-clothed man?”

“The… Gray-clothed Man?”Dorothy thought that the count was someone who had “Caused trouble”, so when she was suddenly asked this strange question, she did not know how to answer it.

“My friend, are you satisfied with this answer, Cruz?”

The gray-clothed person slowly walked out of the shop with a cane, and Count Cruz quickly recognized the identity of the old man.

“I didn’t expect that Sage Ruersk would personally visit Orson Castle.”After seeing the gray-clothed person, Count Cruz instantly lost the mood to think about the relationship between the girl and the gray-clothed person.

“I was asked by someone to come to this chamber of commerce to take a look.”The gray-clothed person shook his head and rejected Count Cruz’s invitation in advance. “I will return to Nolan soon.”

“This chamber of Commerce? If you are interested in the magic-conducting machinery of Orson Castle, I can show you more.”

Count Cruz glanced at the silver-patterned chamber of Commerce behind him. This chamber of Commerce had mainly sold magic-conducting machinery a long time ago.

The steel country’s most powerful means of attracting spell casters from other countries were all kinds of advanced magic-conducting machinery. Therefore, Count Cruz also guessed that the gray-clothed man had come specifically for this purpose.

“Magic-conducting machinery?”The gray-clothed man also turned to look at the Kelia Chamber of Commerce. “This chamber of Commerce is not a chamber of commerce that sells magic-conducting machinery.”

“Lord… Lord gray-clothed man.”

At this moment, as the manager of the Chamber of Commerce, York finally could not help but want to step forward.

If the Sage had visited his chamber of Commerce, this could also be a powerful propaganda method. However, at this moment, his daughter interrupted what he wanted to say.

“Father, a merchant from Nolan wants to merge with our chamber of Commerce.”

Dorothy did not show any mercy and directly said that not only did she tear down the house, but she also sold it in passing.

After all, the deal that Josh had proposed would usher in a new era of prosperity for the silver florist guild, and Dorothy did not think that there was anything to hide about it.
