Don't look at the gold coins, silverware, jewelry, fine wine and even spices contained in the previous box. . . Compare it to this box of silk. . There is no comparison at all. . .
Although these gold coins, silverware, and fine wine are of relatively high value. . But after all, it is also produced here. . .
Although those jewelry are relatively rare. . But it can also be purchased with money. . What's more, the jewelry inside is uneven. . . Some jewelry is priceless. . . Some jewelry isn't that valuable either. . .
And those spices are not produced locally. . But its output is much higher than that of silk. . .
There is such a big box of silk in front of me. . . It's definitely not something that can be obtained easily. . . Even if it is placed in Holy Light City. . . This is also a huge asset. . .
Although I got such an astronomical sum of money in front of me. . .
But such wealth did not let him go to his head. . .
Because he feels something is wrong now. . . The identity of the person who owns these six boxes of things is definitely extraordinary. . . Even many people in Holy Light City can't compare to him. . .
Such a rich man. . Why live in an unknown border town? ? ? ?
Where do these things come from? ? ? Just these six boxes. . . I'm afraid it will be very difficult to find them all in Holy Light City. . . Not to mention this place. . . Not to mention it's all together. . I can’t tell whether I’ve seen it before or not. . .
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
So he must figure out where these treasures came from. . . If it is really a big force that uses this place as a stronghold. . . Then don't talk about taking things yourself. . . Just run away quickly. . . After all, survival is more important than anything else. .
Then the bald man stood up. . Fasten the sixth box directly. . . Then he approached the male host with a smile and said: "I am suddenly interested in you now... You, a manor owner in a border town... can actually own these things??? How did you get it???"
The male host suddenly raised his head. . . He is very good at observing people's emotions. . . He could see the hesitation and fear in the eyes of the bald man. . .
The male host also snorted at this time and said: "I didn't expect someone like you to have worries..."
The bald man still kept smiling. . . I saw him approaching the hostess. . Then he drew out the dagger and pointed it at her. .
"No!" The male host shouted subconsciously. .
The bald man still had the dagger directly pressed against the hostess's body. . . He wanted to teach this man a lesson. . . He doesn't like dishonest people. . .
So he pushed a little harder. . The sharp dagger cut the skin directly. . . Bright red blood flowed out from the wound. . .
Where has the hostess ever experienced this? . . So the tears fell down immediately. . . It made a "woohoo" sound. . .
"Okay, okay!! I said it!! I said it!!" The man saw his wife bleeding. . Naturally, I no longer persisted. . .
"Speak quickly!" The bald man took the dagger over. . .
Only then did the male protagonist begin to speak. . .
This bald man is simply worried about the origin of these treasures. . .
After listening to the male host's story, he suddenly became enlightened. . .
It turns out that the male owner’s ancestors were all big businessmen. . . Has been doing overseas trade. . . So those things that seem rare to others. . . For an overseas businessman. . Although not readily available. . But it’s also much easier. . .
So his ancestors accumulated this wealth little by little. . After all, these wealth cannot be accumulated in a short time. . .
After several generations. . Gradually I gained a lot of wealth. . . But although there is money. . . But there is no status. . .
I made so much money myself. . Just so that others can take a good look at it. . . But there were no rights in those days. . No one will look at you. . . And no matter how small the official position is. . Anyone with power can step on you. . Get some benefit from your side now and then. . .
Although you are very rich. . . But you can't afford others to keep asking for benefits from you. . And it’s not just one or two. . .
And everyone knows you have money. . The first time he may ask you for some gold coins. . Next time I'll ask for a bag of gold coins. . Later, the lion opened his mouth even more. . .
Even keeping a mistress, buying a house, and arrears in gambling debts all have to be repaid by their family. . .
How can I bear this? . . Even if we were ten times or a hundred times richer than we are now, it wouldn't be enough for such a waste. . . After all, human desires are unlimited. . . There is no telling what these people will do in the future. .
But for joining the upper class society. . . Although they are rich, they do not have that condition. . in the society at that time. . There are few paths to the upper class. . . Unless you are born into a noble family. . . In other words, your bloodline is noble enough. . Whether your father and your mother were nobles. . Is your family aristocratic? . . Otherwise, you would have to wait until wartime to achieve military exploits before you could be rewarded and join the nobility. . .
Not to mention that it has been peaceful and prosperous for decades at this time. . . Even if it is a war. . . How could these people with business backgrounds gain military exploits in troubled times? . .
So the family quickly held an emergency family meeting. . . About deciding the future of the family. . .
As a result, I happened to hear that there was a prince in Holy Light City who was gathering power at this time. . . I plan to prepare for the future as a king. . .
This news attracted the attention of the family. . . A prince's bloodline is noble enough. . . But the fiefdom and money of such a prince are certainly limited. . . And these things he had. . His brothers aren't much worse. . . So this time the family intervened. . . At least it would give the prince enough money to operate. .
And think about it. . . If successful. . Helping a king to ascend to the throne. . . no matter where. . This kind of support is quite significant. . .
Of course the family wasn't carried away. . . They sent someone to find out about the prince first. . .
The decision to fund the prince was made only after receiving accurate information. . .
The prince was naturally very happy to receive funding from such an ocean-going merchant family. . .
And this family also seems quite generous. . . Money, gems, jade, wine, silk, tea, spices, beautiful women. . . They all put in a lot of effort. . .
Naturally, the prince may have made a promise. . Wrote a letter. . Even when he becomes successful, he will never forget the kindness of this family. . And directly gave the family a title. . .
This was unimaginable to the family at the time. . . If you have a title. . . Then the family can rise in one fell swoop. . . Not only money, but also power and status. . . Then you no longer have to look at people’s faces. . . No more being bullied. . .
But who knows that people’s calculations are not as good as God’s calculations. . . The prince became wealthy after receiving financial support from the merchant family. . There is even some eagerness for quick success. . . All this was naturally seen by the old king. . . He doesn't want his successor to be such a person in the future. . That would destroy everything that he and his predecessors had created. . .
