Cosma Empire

The relationship between Ophelia and her mother is not particularly good. Anyone who is strong and arrogant will not be liked, even her own child.

On the contrary, the father, who has been bedridden all the time, is closer to Ophelia, probably because this man is in poor health and stays at home for a long time, so he spends more time with her, and the relationship is better.

So when Du Lin said that people have to pay for what they did wrong, Ophelia didn't mention it anymore.

Du Lin didn't want Dirsina's life, but just let her temporarily lose her freedom for a period of time, and ensured her life in prison.

Although she was still a little psychologically troubled, Ophelia still chose to stand by Du Lin's side and didn't ask about this matter anymore.

This is also a very normal manifestation. In the empire and even the whole world, everyone is emphatically repeating the importance of family and family, but in fact, most people are quite selfish when it comes to family.

This is not a rare phenomenon, it can be said to be a common phenomenon.

When a child leaves the family and forms his own family, he will live separately from his parents, even if the distance between the two sides is not far, and the contact between them is very little.

I only occasionally want to greet each other during holidays, and most of the time they are like strangers to each other.

When family members blame those people for this as a reason for heckling, they will always say "I have my life", "I have my own children", "I need to take care of my family", "I have limited energy, Already very tired."

This phenomenon has become a unique family culture. Every home is a starting point, where new life will be born, grow, and enter the society.

But this home is not their end, their end is the family they formed.

Now Ophelia no longer uses the surname Timamont. Although she is still a member of the Timamont family, her surname has changed to Kesma.

When people address her in a more official tone on formal occasions, they use titles such as "Mrs. Cosma" instead of "Ms. Timamont".

It was also destined that she would stand by Du Lin's side, since she had already left the starting point and found the end point.

Is this a cruel thing?

Maybe, maybe not.

It is because hypocritical people must stand on the moral high ground to maintain their objective image in society, and the necessary kindness and compassion as well as the emphasis on family and family members will become a warm cloak for people to whitewash their indifference.

Say no, that's because it may be an instinct as an animal to keep the old out of the group and ensure the health and vitality of the group.

In short, Dirsina wanted to impress Du Lin through Ophelia, and her trick of letting him let her go had failed. In fact, even if Ophelia wanted to interfere, Du Lin would find a way to refuse her.

Some things, even if Kesma raises objections, Durin will not implement them.

For several days in a row, Dilsina was looking for someone to find a relationship, and other people were also looking for someone to find a relationship. During this period, Felicia also called Du Lin,

It is said that a few years ago they agreed that when Du Lin was free to find her, she would show Du Lin around.

He couldn't think of this for several years, and now he suddenly remembered that if Magus hadn't greeted him before, he would have even thought of trapping Felicia.

These northern aristocrats were all so rich that it would have been stupid for the imperial family to slaughter one that could cover hundreds of years of income.

The prince can rebel, the duke can rebel, so can't the marquis be rebelled?

Of course, these are all things in the past. Just when Du Lin let these things ferment quietly, something unexpected happened to him.

To be precise, he didn't take into account that some people were so courageous that they continued to "steal" the gold resources in the Yagur Mountains under his nose.

According to reports from some people, the roar of machinery came from the gold mine in Yagur Mountain, and a large amount of gold ore was transported out of the mine by rail-drawn mine cars and loaded into the car.

Someone bribed one of the drivers. According to the driver, they planned to send the car full of ore to the outside of the mountain when they could not see at night.

A year ago, the Yagur Mountains did not completely belong to Ambiluo State. Almost one-third to two-fifths, or about 33% to 40%, belonged to another state. .

Now it completely belongs to Ambiluo State, or Durin passed the gas through Magus and Kubal, and then merged the Yagur Mountains into Ambilao State in the name of "easy to manage", and belonged to Durin's management.

This means that there is not only one way to go in and out of the mountain. If those people are not afraid of trouble, they can leave from the woodland on the other side where the mountain is relatively gentle.

If Du Lin hadn't made people stare at these people, they would have found a chance for them.

If they wrestle through the judicial process, how long it may take them to dig.

Savi brought some people to be responsible for the voices of the five gathering places on the Eagle's Mouth Continent. The exchange of gold for bullets is really a huge profit, and Dulin may not be at ease if you hand it over to others. There are only a few special ones on hand. He can rest assured only when he is reliable.

Kina is now in charge of the vanguard, so Kina soon appeared in Durin's office.

This bastard Kina, except that he behaves normally at work, is very lazy most of the time. He wears a suit of hundreds of dollars, and he has the demeanor of a few dollars for a suit. A grass root, fluffy hair like a bird's nest, even if someone said he was a tramp, people would believe it.

This has a lot to do with the past living habits. In a place like Zilufa Town, there is absolutely no way to raise any neat people.

He yelled Boss and sat on the sofa, picked up an orange and rubbed it in his hand, stuffed it into his mouth without even peeling the skin, the juice from one bite overflowed, and some of it fell on his clothes "This is sweet, where did you buy it?"

Duffer cheerfully picked up an apple and peeled it gracefully, and looked at Kina with eyes like looking at a mentally retarded. The two fell in love and killed each other for a long time. One was lazy and casual, the other was delicate and careful. Together, it can only be said that Du Lin is so attractive that anyone can pretend to be together.

Du Lin glanced at him, and he didn't have any intention of changing his mind. Although he was so sloppy in life, it was said that several cowgirls wanted to conquer him.

"I have a mission for you..." After Du Lin said Kaiou, Kina's eyes changed slightly, "I heard that those who don't follow the rules plan to take advantage of the dark to sell goods, Take someone to stop them, Yagur Mountain is almost all undeveloped primitive mountains, the night is very dangerous, go and help them!"

Kina nodded heavily, then grabbed the only three oranges left in the fruit basket and put them into pockets worth several hundred dollars that were only used to embellish and decorate the lines of clothes, got up and pushed the door away.

Duffer is not stingy about his displeasure and ridicule. He and Kina actually have no conflicts, but they feel that the other party and their personalities are not compatible.

Especially Kina, he often used Dover's promise to send two girls to him when he was in Odis as an excuse, saying that Dover's speech is like farting, and the smell will disappear after a while, and he has not even seen a single hair. , He is not married yet.

Duffer also felt that this bastard was too lazy and sloppy. Before, when everyone else was so busy that there was no time to rest, he hid in the shade of a tree and slept.

It is very difficult for them to shake hands and make peace and live in peace.

At dusk, Kina, who had changed into a set of combat clothes, carried the "fishing rod" that Dufo called on his back and led a small team into the mountain range of Mount Yagur from a trail.

It takes about two days to travel from the foot of the mountain to the gold mine. If you speed up, you will be able to reach the Golden Valley of Yagur Mountain at night at most tomorrow night.

At this time, the people in the Valley of Gold did not know that their behavior had been discovered by Durin, and there were actually some problems within the Ambiluo State Mining Company.

After many high-level meetings, the Imperial Central Bank is ready to make a concession. This time they intend to admit defeat, but Dirsina must ensure that there will be no problem with the literal principal in their contract, which is 20 million funds.

As for the millions of other overflow losses, they admitted it, and they counted their investment as a failure this time.

It is not a smart thing to conflict with Duhring on his territory. The policy-making power he holds is enough to make the Imperial Bank very passive. Coupled with the wealth he has saved in the Imperial Bank, his influence , the think tank of the Imperial Central Bank believes that it is stupid to have a direct conflict with During.

Even if he wants to fall out with Du Lin, he can't put the battlefield on his private land in Ambiluo State, and he must be pulled out. Only when everyone is in a relatively fair situation can they start a war with him.

However, the two consortiums did not want the Imperial Bank to withdraw immediately. Once such a giant as the Imperial Central Bank withdraws, they will be sentenced to a "death sentence" on a certain level. inquire.

If you don't make it right, you will not only lose your job and wealth, but it may be even worse.

Moreover, so far there is no clear phenomenon that they will lose, and there may be room for maneuver if they persist.

Without the knowledge of the representatives of the Imperial Central Bank, the representatives of the consortia on both sides directly ordered the mining area to continue to work, change the cart to a small cart, leave the Yagur Mountains from the other side, and directly enter another state.

In this way, as long as they can procrastinate for a little longer, they may not be unable to recover their capital, and it is even possible to make a small profit.

According to the current mining volume, it only takes 50 days, and they can almost stop losses, and if there is more, they will make money.

Another benefit of doing so is to bring the Reichsbank back into the chariot.
