Chapter 1212 "Rainbow Stone"
"Ahhh! Help, I can't turn around, who can help me-!"
Just as Roland was thinking about how to better utilize the power of the Rubik's Cube, a familiar scream suddenly sounded in the courtyard. He subconsciously raised his head and saw that the car did not go around the courtyard road, but rushed into the central flower garden. Sitting in the car was Miyue who had replaced Sylvie.
"This, this idiot!" Lily gritted her teeth and said, "Hurry up and hit the brakes!"
"I stepped on it...but I couldn't step on it!" Miyue shouted in panic.
The out-of-control steam car swerved left and right in the flower garden, and when it rushed out of the flower garden, it hit the castle gate——
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Wendy's expression changed drastically.
The crowd suddenly jumped up and down.
Let me go. Roland looked at Miyue with her eyes closed and holding the steering wheel, dumbfounded. Can a car without accelerator also drive like this? Is this a female driver from another world?
To his surprise, none of the surrounding witches dispersed, but all stood in front of him. In an instant, all kinds of abilities swarmed out - Anna's wall of black fire and Lian's ravine separated a barrier between him and the courtyard; Effie's magic cage and Andrea's light The arrow was aimed at the wheel and ready to go, and the nightingale grabbed his arm, ready to drag him into the fog at any time.
In the end, it was Phyllis and Luojia who won purely by force to prevent the car accident.
They immediately stood in front of everyone, grabbed the vehicle's anti-collision bar, and lifted its front wheels off the ground.
Anna controlled the Black Fire to close the Ceremony Cube.
The steam engine, which had lost pressure, quickly subsided.
"Ahhhhhh - everyone, run!" Miyue still held the steering wheel tightly and shouted loudly.
"You stupid idiot!" Lily jumped over the ravine, climbed onto the car and slapped the back of Miyue's head hard, silencing her screams.
The latter opened his eyes and covered his head with an innocent expression.
"Mystery Moon!"
Seeing Wendy and Shujuan approaching fiercely, Miyue reacted, "I'm sorry, I was wrong -" However, it was too late to apologize at this moment. Before the head of the detective team could defend himself, he was dragged directly into the room by the two of them. castle.
"Every time I get into trouble, you're there!"
"This week's vacation is cancelled!"
"Copy the rules of the Witches Alliance a hundred times!"
"There are five sets of exercises left, and you won't be able to eat until you finish them!"
It wasn't until Mystery Moon's wail disappeared within the castle that the witches shuddered in sympathy - of course, excluding Her Royal Highness the Queen.
"I checked the car, and there are no problems with the steering and braking mechanisms." Anna had completed the inspection and returned to Roland. "There is probably only one reason why Mystery Moon veered off the road."
"What is it?"
"She is too weak." Anna said helplessly.
Roland couldn't help but laugh out loud. Because of his low strength, he couldn't make enough direction, which ultimately led to "eating the pear"... It seems that before the steering and brake assist devices were installed, the strength was less than or equal to a mystery. Yue Zhe could only refuse to participate in the test run.
The messy courtyard was quickly restored to smoothness thanks to the joint efforts of Lian and Anna. Looking at the witches who were looking at him eagerly, Roland shook his head in a funny way, "If you still want to make trouble, just ask Anna - as long as she Agree, I have no objection, just be careful not to demolish the castle. By the way, one more thing, don’t forget to come back for lunch.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Please let me get on the bus first!"
"Hey, I was obviously the one who came first!"
The courtyard was once again covered with everyone's laughter.
*********************
"Sir, we're here."
The carriage slowly stopped in front of a tavern. Victor Lothar stepped out of the carriage, threw two silver wolves to the driver, and then walked into the tavern.
"You're here, Mr. Victor!" Soon a pretty woman in a close-fitting white robe trotted over and enthusiastically took the luggage from his hand. "The boss of your room has always prepared it. Please come with me."
It is still the largest compartment on the top floor, and all the furnishings in the room remain as they were when he left, including incense, wine and the maid dedicated to serving him - copper bells.
Victor nodded with satisfaction. This is the power of money. Although it cannot reverse life and death, it has the magic power to freeze time.
"You've been away for a really long time this time." Tongling quickly opened the curtains, set up the windows, and filled him with hot tea. "The boss even guessed whether you were robbed or encountered someone while out at sea. He was shipwrecked and could never come back. Every day he has to check the gold dragon you left behind to see how long he can pay for the house. He wants to rent the house to others in advance, but he doesn't dare to violate it. The contract law of Neverwinter City, the dilemma is really laughable."
Looking at the lively and fast-talking maid, Victor felt that the fatigue accumulated from the long journey had dissipated a little, "Aren't you afraid that he will know this?"
Tong Ling stuck out his tongue, "Unless you tell him secretly. By the way, where have you been these days? Are you busy with business?"
"That's right," Victor sipped his black tea, "I've basically been staying in the south for more than half a year."
"Hey, the southern border?" Tong Ling tilted his head and said, "There aren't many gems there, right?"
"There are gems everywhere, as long as you know how to find them." He shrugged, "For example, in the south, gems grow on branches."
"Sir, you are teasing me again." The maid pouted.
Victor smiled. He knew that the other party would not believe it. In fact, even he could not believe it before he saw it with his own eyes. Cotton fields could be more beautiful than gemstones. The seeds cultivated by Ms. Ye Zi can be described as incredible. When the shrubs grow up, the cotton blossoms blooming from the flowers and fruits are large, soft, and as white as snow. They are almost different from the skinny cotton buds in his memory. It's the same crop.
During the planting period, he was not idle either. He mobilized a team of tailors from his hometown, recruited people to build a factory in Bishui Port, contacted people to prepare business routes, and got busy as soon as the cotton fields were harvested. What happened after that was even smoother than he imagined. Once on the market, this new cotton quickly overwhelmed other similar goods with its extremely high quality and approachable price. From quilts to cotton-padded clothes, each product has achieved extremely impressive sales in various cities.
Of course, Victor has not forgotten what His Majesty said about competition. When other merchants also purchase Miss Ye Ye’s cotton seeds from Neverwinter, this part of the market will definitely be squeezed. Therefore, on top of simple cotton fabrics, he also prepared a series of high-end products, mainly complete sets of clothing. From design, materials to tailoring, he followed the line of excellence, and embroidered the cuffs and collar of each piece of clothing. Unique five-color gemstone logo to show your uniqueness.
This kind of clothing with a very upper-class style was quickly recognized by some people, and gradually gained a special nickname, "Rainbow Stone".
In addition, he did not give up those low-priced products. Whether they were quilts or robes, they were all marked with the same mark - the only difference was that the thread used for the mark was a single color.
Victor vaguely felt that if he did this, even if other merchants' prices were lower than his, some people would still choose ordinary clothes embroidered with the rainbow stone logo, just like when selling jewelry in the past, nobles would give priority. It’s the same as choosing works carved by famous artists.
"How long will you stay when you come back this time?" When Tong Ling saw that he didn't answer, he changed the topic.
"About three or four days, there are still many things to do in the south," Victor replied.
"Are you leaving so soon?" the maid's voice was a little lower.
He immediately understood what the other party was thinking - if she did not renew the room this time, she would have to wait for other guests. Compared with getting paid for taking care of the room every day, the latter was obviously much more troublesome. Victor didn't think this was something worth caring about, but rather than changing someone, he thought it would be good to continue to let Tong Ling serve.
Before you get tired of it.
"Don't worry, I will pay enough to return to the Golden Dragon before Neverwinter next time."
"Really?" Tong Ling's eyes lit up.
"It's not an extraordinary expense." Victor stood up and flicked a golden dragon into her hand. "This is the cost of this stay. Now I have to go to the administrative hall. You can lead the way." .”
