Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 70

The quill pen he just bought was not draining smoothly. Edward went to the half-open window and shook it out, only to hear a sound of air-conditioning.

He looked down, and saw a person hanging under the window sill, a person who should appear in the royal private hunting ground of Sauron's family right now.Her shoulder-length short hair was tied up in a rough way. Today she was wearing a brown and white hunting suit. White straight-leg pants and light gray leather boots made her figure look a bit more heroic, more vigorous and neat than before.

"I was discovered by you." The girl who climbed the wall smiled and winked at the same time.The window sill was ten meters above the ground, and Adela stepped on the protruding hanging flower stand with one foot, and the other foot drooped naturally. It didn't look like much effort, and she could even be said to be calm, "Then give me a hand! "

Edward closed the window and locked it from the inside.

The people outside the window were yelling, but the devil pretended he didn’t hear it, and came to the bookshelf that occupied the entire wall, and said to a puppet with dark gray hair in the corner: “Have you finished writing the dissertation?”

The puppet sat neatly at the small table next to the bookshelf, with a correct posture, motionless, and only two lines of words were written on the test paper in front of it.

Edward glanced at him twice, without showing any objection or affirmation, and asked him bluntly, "You want to deal with it this way?"

"Then you are not suitable to open a factory, or even become a plantation owner. If you go to be a government employee in peace and stability, you will not be able to be promoted because your conscience is too high. Stop thinking about doing business."

"I, know, this is not right. No, this is, right, just, money is not earned." The newly promoted saint Richard Ernst, who has been a demigod "puppet" for more than a month, seems to have a throat He paused and answered like he was oily, groping for the correct way to act, "However, in this way, it is good for the workers, and the company's reputation can also be guaranteed, but it is a bit of a loss..."

Edward was noncommittal: "The waterway to the southern continent has just been opened, and the profit brought by a successful voyage is indeed more than ten times. But if there is no powerful Extraordinary escort, at least half of the people on the voyage will lose their lives, and the ship damage rate will also be high." Up to one-third. In this case, it is better to give priority to ensuring the interests of the company, and then divide the wages proportionally to the sailors and the fleet according to the income."

"You directly set the minimum wage amount and high pension, so that desperate sailors will actively seek death. Not only that, but you also pay wages before the voyage begins. This will make you incapable of resisting risks. As long as there is a full-scale If the team collapses, your company will collapse, and you will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish if you can’t pay your salary and pension.”

"..." Richard thought for a while, "I can swim."

Edward glanced at him: "I hope you always have this optimistic attitude about the rest of your life."

"Don't write if you don't want to write it. Let's talk about the idea, next question."

"Well... A has ten times the work efficiency, but B only has double the work efficiency. Then, I think, we can give B the machine that can improve the efficiency. In this way, the efficiency can be equalized and become a double. ,win."

"You will really go bankrupt." Edward said, "If you give B, it will only change from 1 to 10, but if you give A, you can change from 10 to 100. This is a quantitative change that leads to a qualitative change. Need me to teach."

"But, in the question, you said that there was an accident in B's house, and money was urgently needed, ah." Richard frowned, "Isn't this your hint?"

"What does it have to do with you if something happens at the employee's home?"

A voice naturally joined in: "That's right, it's not that we didn't give him money, of course we chose to give the machine to A. Even if B doesn't need salary, you can only get 10 copies, but if you give it to A, even if it's 50-[-] , and you can directly harvest [-] copies. This is a huge profit, as long as B works hard and improves a little efficiency, he will naturally make enough money."

Edward paused.

The devil and the puppet looked at the roof together. After opening the window to no avail, the tenacious Miss Hunter climbed in through the vent. The hunter of Sequence 7 saw clearly the content on the test paper.

"Miss Adele Soren." Richard greeted her, but didn't quite agree with her answer, "As a factory owner, shouldn't I, for the workers, think about it? I should, help them. "

Adele smiled harmlessly, jumped off the ladder, and landed right between Richard and Edward. She replied naturally and confidently: "The king is obligated to us only after paying taxes. You open a factory, Pay wages to workers, why do you have an obligation to them? Let me tell you, if you want to make money the fastest, you should buy some slaves. You don’t even need to pay wages, and they are cheap, and you can buy them everywhere.”

Richard took a deep breath and replied seriously: "If I were to buy (he said these two words with difficulty) slaves... I would not pay them wages either."

"Yes, that would save a lot of money."

"But ... I will calculate the value they generate for me, and if they make enough money, I will set them back free."

Adele thought for a while, then clapped her hands and applauded: "Well, this plan can really motivate the slaves to work, and your factory will definitely develop in a short period of time." Then she thought for a while, and said naturally Go on, "Are you worrying about fulfilling the agreement? It is true that if they regain their freedom, they will leave the factory or need to pay wages, and the initial advantage is gone. But it is also very simple, just make them work hard and increase the redemption price , Let them die of exhaustion before they earn enough money.”

"Mr. Gustav has vigorously developed steam technology, and now there are new factories and plantations everywhere, and the unemployment rate in Intis has dropped all of a sudden. Compared with workers who are not treated well and will run away with long legs, it is better to buy The slaves work safely! This will not only generate huge value, but also replace them quickly! What a good way, Richard, you are very smart!"

Richard's face lost its color little by little.

"Teacher." He looked at Edward who was silently listening to their discussion as if asking for help, and said with the last of his strength, "Is this right?"

"I don't judge, this is just an essay question. When you answer, you have the answer in your heart."

Edward abnormally did not drive Adela away.Such an answer made Richard feel a little better, and he said, "Next question."

After the Tarot Society ended, Klein left the gray fog, picked up a pen that was full of ink, and thought about his words to write a letter to Maria.

"Dear Miss Maria... I am deeply touched by your trust in me and love for people in the Eastern District... I have thought about it carefully, and I am capable of accepting this commission, but I don't know how far I can go... ...I will do my best to fulfill your request..."

Just as Klein was thinking seriously, illusory and layered prayers suddenly sounded in his ears.

Male voice? Mister "The Hanged Man", or little "Sun"?Klein glanced at the gloomy sky outside the window, got up and went into the bathroom next door, locked the door, walked four steps backwards, and came above the gray mist.

In that mysterious space, a majestic ancient palace stood quietly, and illusory male voices echoed layer upon layer.

Klein took a glance and confirmed that the prayer came from the little "sun".Sitting in the position of "The Fool", he stretched out his right hand, spread his spirituality, and touched the corresponding crimson star.

All of a sudden, the prayers became clear enough and well-structured, and Klein quickly figured out what the "sun" was talking about: the former captain of the exploration team next door to him, who had seen Amon, suddenly lost control and acted strangely. He broke through the seal and came to his room. Fortunately, the City of Silver paid enough attention to this and was always on guard, otherwise it would lead to a tragedy.

"Sun" thinks that the other party's loss of control will not be without reason. He guessed two possibilities. One is that his extraordinary path is in line with the needs of the descendants of the ancient sun god, and the other is that the other party may have noticed the Tarot Gathering and Mister "Fool" Secretly pull people.

Amidst his thoughts, Klein's eyes suddenly froze as he looked at the begging picture.A transparent and illusory figure is wrapped around the blurry and hard-to-see "sun" body!He has hands and feet, but like a boa constrictor, he circles the "sun" twistedly, and his head is behind the "sun"'s head!

In the hazy picture, he is wearing a black classic robe, a pointed soft hat, and a crystal-like monocle on his face.

For all this, the "sun" has no idea!
... Klein almost took a breath, frightened by the other party's weird methods.

He vaguely understood the other party's purpose: to "stay" in the spirit body of the "sun", waiting for the next Tarot meeting, sneaking into the gray mist without anyone noticing, just like a virus or a Trojan horse!

At this moment, he finally understood what the "annoying and wicked thief" meant by fellow angels. Being so "friendly" at the beginning really opened Klein's horizons.But now he has to deal with it, either quickly find a way to get rid of Amon in the "sun" body, or temporarily exclude "sun" from the Tarot gathering.

If I don't remove Amon from Little Sun, I might be deprived of my control over this mysterious space at that time... What a "blasphemer"!Fortunately, fortunately, the little "sun" is relatively simple and straightforward, and immediately reported this matter to me, and through the corresponding crimson stars and the power above the gray mist, I was able to discover his strange state...

Klein took a breath, trying to calm himself down.He looked at the items he had and quickly thought of an idea.

"So, she successfully entrusted it to Klein."

Edward reached out and touched two owl familiars parked by the table, and swayed leisurely on the old rocking chair full of pillows and cushions.It was already dark outside, and the warm stove in the living room was burning brightly, and there were still hot milk tea and cakes on hand.

"At the same time, Mr. A has also accepted the commission from the Aurora Society? Hehe, things will become interesting now, and they might run into each other. Maria doesn't need to ask Mr. A to be more careful, worried that he will hurt Klein? I think Klein, whose partner is unknown and whose cards are unknown, is more dangerous...Mr. A hasn't spent any merit recently on giving the recording ability to the recorder in his hand, so he should be very tight."

"Also, it's a surprise that Capin's men, together with Mr. A, can at least try out some of Klein's secrets."

He closed his eyes as if he was listening to something, and after a while he opened his mouth and said, "Klein——Zhou Mingrui, I think he is very likely to be the backhand of the "Lord of Mysteries". Isn’t the memory also captured from Origin Castle? However, it is also very possible that it is a coincidence, or like the ancient sun god, it is the container and resurrection hand appointed by the god. "

"Yes, it's good to be an unexamined container all the time."

The rocking chair creaked, and he sat up, looking through a tattered diary in his hand by the light of the fireplace. This one was left over from Roselle's mid-term period, and the records in it were somewhat valuable.Mention of the Twilight Hermit, Adam, and the Tablet of Blasphemy.This group of guys who like to promote the development of the world behind their backs did put a lot of effort into Roselle. Although he died in the end, Roselle's results were quite satisfactory.

"The only problem is that the Lord of Mysteries can also make mistakes? His resurrection container actually has a self, not a natural high-level personality, and there is no trace of encroachment at all? This is incredible."

The prophecy of Zaratul, the history of the Sauron family and the plan before Roselle rose up, the ghost ship of the Terrensost Empire in the legend of the Fourth Epoch, the laurel filled with Balam's treasure, and finally inexplicably silent in the Sea of ​​​​Rage No, and Nast Solomon, Lord of the Five Seas...

Solomon.

Edward's eyes sharpened.

Then he pouted, turned to the next page, and continued to read Roselle's various nagging and complaints.You see, where there is Solomon now, there is only a super incomplete version in Roselle's spiritual imprint.Not to mention Solomon, Roselle doesn't even have one, and I don't know which dark grave he is staying in.Whoever is the Black Emperor will die, and the one from Loen dares to try.

"If it is confirmed, it is basically certain that there are other people who are also preventing the resurrection of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun, and the personality is still uncertain."

It's so boring...the last 19 years of Doomsday was really hard.Even though the barrier is already in danger, all of the same kind outside are still unwilling to be the first bird, for fear that if something goes wrong, they will be attacked by a group of glory and become a magical item, and the doomsday has not yet started.

But anyway, I have been waiting for so long, and waiting another 19 years is just a time to doze off. For eternal life, time has long since lost its meaning, and it is just an infrequently used reference standard.

It is only 19 years before the end of my mission, and I really should hurry up to experience life and enjoy more blessings now.

No inner ghost, Adele's character design is updated.

After reading papers and materials for a day, I didn’t write papers so seriously

The whole point is the cold reality and the bloody and dirty primitive accumulation of capital.
