Master Tongtian

Chapter 183 Planning to open a gallery (34)

Hound House.

That afternoon, Harrick was mopping the floor when he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside the door.

After a while, a familiar voice came in: "Uncle Harrick, are you there?"

It's Rosen.

Harrick's mood suddenly improved, and the worries that had been lingering in recent days suddenly disappeared.

He laughed and said: "At any time, my friend, what would you like to drink?"

"Three glasses of mead."

Following the sound, the dusty Rosen appeared at the door, and behind him, followed by the enchanting girl Pacey and the golden spider Lilith.

Harrick was busy pouring wine and didn't pay attention.

He handed the wine to Rosen first, then to Patsy and Lilith.

Patsy lifted up the white gauze under her hat and thanked her softly.

Her voice is crisp and delicate, and when heard in the ears, it feels like a small hand is rubbing the eardrums, and it can rub into the man's heart in one stroke.

Harrick was shocked, and then he raised his head to look at Patsy.

At this sight, the whole person stayed on the spot, stunned, as if he had seen a ghost.

After a while, he came back to his senses. His thick beard trembled, he raised his finger to point at Patsy, and turned to look at Rosen.

"Luo Luosen, where did you find this beauty?"

Rosen took a sip of the mead: "Baima Town, didn't I tell you that I was recruited by the temple to work in Baima Town?"

"Oh~~ It's so true that there is such a beauty hidden in Baima Town."

It took him a long time, but he couldn't find an accurate explanation. Seeing that Peixi was about to start drinking mead, he immediately raised his hand to stop her.

"Wait! Miss~ wait a minute!"

He reached out to take back the mead, quickly replaced it with two fine crystal glasses, and took out the treasured moonshine wine from the bottom of the cabinet. He opened it without hesitation, poured half a glass and handed it to Patsy and Lilith.

"A young and beautiful girl should drink such good wine."

"Thank you." Patsy took the wine glass and smiled at Harrick, almost making the latter faint from laughing.

Lilith was not surprised and just drank seriously.

Rosen raised his hand and knocked on the table, jokingly saying: "Harrick, you really forget your friends."

Harrick came back to his senses and rolled his eyes at Rosen: "You guys always gulp down whatever wine you drink. It would be a waste of good wine for you."

After saying that, he raised his hand and wiped his face vigorously, and returned to normal. After all, he had been baptized by a lot of beautiful paintings and had a good immunity.

After pouring himself a glass of mead, he asked, "Rosen, so it seems that the White Horse Town mission went well?"

"It's not bad, I didn't encounter any big trouble, and I made a lot of achievements."

An undead demon servant who has not updated his knowledge in time, and an ignorant warrior group are much easier to deal with than the evil god.

The two ladies on the side were secretly speechless.

Two legions, thousands of soldiers, this is not a big trouble, then what is?

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is really not troublesome, and one of the legions was even wiped out by Rosen.

It can only be said that the weak do not understand the world of the strong.

Harrick didn't go into details: "As long as it's no trouble, I'm really worried about something happening to you while you're out."

"Uncle, don't worry, I'm very cautious. So, how about the food?"

Harrick chuckled and was about to speak, but looked at Patsy and Lilith, so he swallowed it back.

Rosen said: "It's okay. They will be my trusted intelligence officers from now on and can be fully trusted."

In this case, Harik said: "All the cash is spent, and I only have fifty crowns left in my pocket for emergencies."

"By the way, I also paid an advance of about 10,000 crowns for ten custom-made paintings, and collected a total of about 600,000 diras of grain, all of which were all kinds of coarse grains."

With that said, he turned back to the room, took a piece of paper and handed it to Rosen: "This is a list, which records the detailed storage location and quantity of the grain."

Rosen quickly glanced at it, then suddenly the list in his hand ignited without fire.

"I remember, this list is useless. Uncle, if you have a backup, destroy it too."

Six hundred thousand dira, equivalent to six thousand tons of coarse grains, is enough to feed 30,000 people for half a year. It is enough.

And fifteen thousand crowns is not expensive. After deducting warehouse storage costs, a pound of coarse grains costs less than a few coppers.

Harrick shrugged: "It was just a list, and it was ruined by you."

Negotiate business matters.

Rosen pointed to Patsy and Lilith again: "Let's open a room for them later, and they will live here for a while."

Harrick laughed: "Then you must live in the best room."

Rosen added: "Uncle Harrick, I plan to open a pornographic painting gallery. Of course, the scale is very limited, less than half of the custom-made paintings."

He discussed it with the two women last night and felt that it was not realistic to open a brothel in Silver Moon Castle to collect intelligence, and it would easily lead to a conflict of interest with Bilegu.

It would be better to take advantage of Rosen's strengths and open an erotic painting gallery as an external disguise for the intelligence center.

Harrick was startled: "Gallery, oh, what a wonderful idea."

"What's such a great idea?"

Another rough voice came from outside the door, followed closely by: "Hey~ Moonlight Horse, is Rosen back?"

It was none other than Chabollet.

Rosen responded loudly: "Uncle, you came at the right time."

"Ah ha, it's really the time. Eh~ This tsk~~~ah~ is so beautiful?!"

"Could this be a magical illusion coming out of Rosen's painting?!"

As soon as Chabolai arrived at the door, his eyes were attracted by Patsy's back. When Patsy turned to look at him, he was immediately stunned, his knees were trembling, and he fell to his knees with a thud!

This performance was simply too much.

Rosen frowned and said, "Uncle, it's been so long and your injury hasn't fully healed yet?"

But his face was flushed, and his figure was a bit sturdier than before, and there was no hint of weakness from the unhealed injury.

Chabolai ignored Rosen at all and knelt on the ground for a few steps, his big eyes glued to Patsy.

"Rosen~ Tell me quickly, what is the name of the girl in this painting?"

"This is Miss Patsy. She's from Whitehorse. You should have heard of her."

Chabolai was startled for a moment, with a hint of clarity on his face: "Paci. White Horse Town. Nightingale Club. I remembered."

"I have always heard that the president of the Nightingale Society is a stunning beauty. Now that I have seen it, the rumors are indeed true!"

Since he is a real person, it would be inappropriate to kneel on the ground.

He stood up, dusted off his knees awkwardly, and ran to the counter in small steps, with a silly smile on his face like a tom cat in heat.

"Miss Patsy."

Patsy smiled faintly: "Mr. Charbolet, you don't have to show your courtesy to me."

"There are two reasons. First, you are too short, half a head shorter than me. Second, I have followed Master Rosen for life."

Lilith also said: "Me too."

‘Pfft~~~’

Charbolai was drinking the mead handed over by Harik. Hearing this, he almost spat his heart out from his mouth. His round face turned red, and his thick lips could not control their trembling.

“This, this, this, hey~ Why can’t I grow taller?”

He slapped his thigh hard, looking frustrated.

Rosen spread his hands: "Uncle, have you forgotten Miss Janiya?"

When he mentioned Janiya, Xia Bolay's face suddenly straightened.

"How is it possible? Miss Janiya is the bright moon in my heart, and my love for her is pure and flawless."

Patsy covered her mouth and smiled, and then roughly told the story of White Horse Town.

After finishing speaking, she said seriously: "The moment Master Rosen helped me complete my revenge, I swore in my heart that I would follow him for the rest of my life."

After hearing this, Xia Bolay immediately stopped joking and said in a serious voice: "So that's it, Miss Paixi, please forgive me for being Meng Lang before. Rosen, then you have to treat her well."

"Of course I will."

After taking a sip of mead, Rosen recounted the story of opening the gallery to Chaballet: "Uncle, Harrick, do you have any good places to recommend to me?"

Xia Bolai shook his head: "I don't know about that. I am now a first-class guerrilla general. I am in charge of six teams of Silver Moon Rangers. I am busy training all day."

"Oh, by the way, Watson and the others are still alive. After receiving our warning, they took a long detour and escaped from danger. Now they are my right-hand assistants."

Rosen was sincerely happy: "Oh, this is really a great thing. It's worth a toast."

Being able to manage six teams of Silver Moon Rangers meant he was already a mid- to high-level officer.

"Yes, cheers!"

The three men drank up the mead in one gulp. Patsy and Lilith's moonshine wine was much stronger. Ben was about to drink it all, but Rosen stopped him.

"Just take a sip."

After the toast, Harrick said: "Rosen, do you still remember the time when the studio was just beginning? The wealthy businessman who accepted more than a dozen paintings from you at once was not enough, and even asked you to order them specially?"

Rosen vaguely remembered what Harrick had said to him, but he couldn't remember the details. But he had the adventure diary, so he looked through the past records in meditation.

He quickly found the corresponding memory: "I remembered that guy who was involved in the water transport trade and had more than a dozen large ships. His name was Candela Lawrence."

Harrick slapped his thigh: "Yes, that's him! That guy is very rich. It is said that his annual net profit is more than 50,000 kronor."

Upon hearing this, the other four people nodded at the same time: "Fifty thousand crowns a year, that's really rich."

The net profit of 50,000 crowns a year is equivalent to the earth's annual income of hundreds of millions.

The most important thing is that he has been making money for many years and must have accumulated a lot of assets, so he is considered a rare rich man.

"He has purchased many good properties in Silver Moon Castle, many of which are idle. If we seek cooperation with him, he will definitely welcome us."

Rosen was happy, but he didn't like the chore of finding a store because it wasn't his strong suit.

"Everyone, in order for a pornographic gallery like this to operate normally, it must have the cooperation of a temple."

"So, I'm going to the temple in the afternoon to get the permit."

"I'll leave the store affairs to you, and report my name when the time comes."

In addition to store permission, he also has to report to the officiant and receive the reward for this mission.

Considering that Harik had no money, Rosen took out 500 crowns from his pocket, which was a thank-you gift from Canreto.

300 was given to Harrick for emergencies, and 200 was given to the two girls as living expenses.

Xia Bolay originally wanted to join in the fun, but he slapped his forehead hard mid-sentence.

"It doesn't seem possible. I have to go to the military camp for training in the afternoon."

After saying this, he looked frustrated.

"My aunt specifically told me that I must train for six hours every day. If I don't train for one day, my monthly salary will be deducted."

The standard monthly payment for a first-class guerrilla general was 30 crowns, but the count deducted most of it, leaving only 10 crowns.

Even if it's 10 crowns, you have to be careful. If you slack off in training, your money will be deducted.

In short, he now wants to be free and unrestrained, but has neither money nor time.

Rosen was curious: "Uncle, I gave you a lot of money from selling my paintings. How come you have no money?"

Xia Bolay sighed: "Forget it, I have never seen that money. My aunt took it all away and said she would save it for me."

This is indeed tragic, but it can also be seen that the count pays attention to Chapollet and turns a slutty man into a super mama's boy.

From this detail, Rosen had already sensed something. He looked at Harrick secretly, and everything was unspoken.

After talking about the business, Rosen said: "Let's arrange a place for the two ladies first."

Harrick said immediately: "Come with me and live in the best suite on the third floor."

Then he turned to the two women and said, "Although my house is a bit slanted, I have carefully reinforced it and it is very safe."

Patsy nodded and thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Harrick."

It was obviously just an ordinary polite thank you, and Patsy's expression was serious, but she still exuded a breathtaking aura.

Harrick almost lost his composure again, and thought to himself: "Tsk, tsk~ You have to stay away from this bitch in the future, it's really scary!"

Lilith was once again ignored and turned into a transparent person. She was feeling a little sad when she found Rosen looking at her, with gentle dark blue eyes and a hint of a smile.

When she noticed his gaze, she winked at her.

Lilith's heart suddenly felt sweet, and her loneliness disappeared without a trace.

‘Although I’m not as good-looking as Patsy, nor as smart as her, I met my master earlier than her, and my master trusts me more, hehe. ’
