Chapter 154: The Revolving Lantern

Is this... a carousel?

Jacques Cole seemed to have returned to his hometown, to the glittering time in the city of Nabourge.

What is a little different from what he described to Regisi is that Jacques Cole is not a humble person. Although he is not a noble child, his father is the largest furry in the city of Bourge and has been used as a child.

Businessmen come to train.

If everything went as normal, Jacques Cole would probably complete the engagement with the daughter of the Lord Patriarch Bourge, join the class, and then inherit the family's career and become a businessman who is rich and does not worry about food and clothing--but at that time

The young and energetic Cole does not want to follow the path that others have set.

He first joined hands with a few hooligans from the Kingdom of Porcini and opened a fake currency manufacturing factory and made his first pot of gold. His behavior was discovered by the king two years later, but the king of the Kingdom of Iris was the king.

Appreciating Jacques Cole's business talent not only forgives him but also hires him to manage his own finances.

After experiencing this ups and downs and opportunities, Jacques Cole quickly rose to prominence. By controlling the Wang family's business, he made a lot of profits from it, and even turned his business into the territory of the Pearlberry Kingdom and the Holy Takwen Empire.

Everything seemed so smooth, success and glory dazzled Jacques' brains. His life was once more luxurious than the king of the Iris Kingdom. Even when the kingdom was fighting foreign wars, he repaid the loan to the king and became the king's biggest

creditors.

However, he soon knew that everything fate gave him had actually been secretly priced.

Finally, he embarked on that terrible voyage—what he told Regis did not lie, his bankruptcy stemmed from the stranding in Corsica, but what he did not say was that he had asked him to

The ship was stranded not by storms or currents.

It's the king's army.

The king who once made him rich and rich, and who was brother to him suddenly showed his hideous face. The king listed his countless crimes...most of them were nonsense that Jacques had never heard of, but

The king's purpose is clear - he wants to unconditionally confiscate all the property of the commercial empire established by Jacques Cole.

It was not until this moment that Jacques Cole suddenly woke up. The reason why the king of the Iris Kingdom promoted himself and gave him so much support was not because he valued his business ability.

However, under the system of the kingdom, even if a civilian like him who had no foundation was placed on his own charge and searched his home, no noble lord would raise objections.

It would be better to say that Jacques Cole's previous arrogant and lewd life had long been envied and jealous by many noble lords.

His destruction was the common interest of the entire Iris Kingdom ruling class.

In this way, Jacques Cole instantly fell from the king's guest of honor to a prisoner, and all his wealth was confiscated into the treasury. Although he barely got the opportunity to escape through some previous relationships, not only the Iris Kingdom, but also the entire human race.

The world can no longer tolerate him.

After all, there were other people's mortgages and advance payments, all of which were taken by the king - except for debts.

Therefore, Jacques Cole could only hide his identity everywhere, avoiding his former creditors and killers, and finally mingled in the crusaders and wandered eastwards, and finally settled in the Heim Castle where no one knew him.

Originally, he had no hope for his life, and just wanted to live quietly and quietly in a low-key manner - however, Regisi's appointment made his soul, as a businessman, revived again.

He can see the business opportunities hidden in Regisi's new policy, maybe this is his chance to make a comeback!

So he used his own eloquence and means to gather a group of workers, form the earliest engineering team, and actively contract the official projects of Heim Castle.

Although there was a little episode that almost scared his weak heart, after calming down, he not only did not resent Regisi, but also agreed with Regisi's idea of ​​clarifying legal and contractual responsibilities.

Yes, if Charles VII and I had signed a contract back then... No, we must first see clearly that the ruler is someone who is willing to uphold the law...

All in all, this made Jacques Cole's already cooled blood boil again, and he was looking forward to making a career in Heim Castle.

But an accident happened.

Sure enough, that's the end...

Feeling that the revolving lantern has reached its final stage, Jacques Cole's mood has calmed down.

If I had not chosen to meet those fugitives at that time, but went to find the daughter of the parishioner...

No, if this happens, my life will be meaningless.

Sure enough, even if I do it again, I will still choose...

Bang!

Suddenly, Jacques Cole felt his face being slapped hard by something cold.

This biting cold and pain instantly pulled him from the chaotic world back to reality.

"Wake up quickly and stop sleeping."

The impatient voice of the kobold man rang in Cole's ear.

"I have something to ask you...and don't stop your project."

——

“Here is..."

Jacques Cole rubbed his temples and sat up from the bed with a confused look on his face. Then he realized that he was sleeping on a high-end bed-although it was not worth it compared to the Persian silk mattress he slept in the most glorious days before.

At first mention, but this is also an unimaginable treatment that I am now so depressed that I sleep in the stable.

I'm still in my dream?

No.

Cole soon saw Regis sitting by the bed, playing with something in his hand, and quickly got off the bed with fear.

"Ling, Lord Lord? You are...ahoh."

However, Cole felt severe pain everywhere in his body, and almost fainted from the pain.

"Don't move around. You have more than ten parts of your body now. I suggest you lie down for the time being - at least don't fall into a coma again before answering my question."

Regis looked up and looked at Jacques Cole in front of him with a burning look. The latter was stunned at first, but nodded obediently.

"First of all, do you remember what happened before you lost consciousness?"

Hearing Regisi's words, Cole's last memory of "revolving lantern" came clearly into his mind.

So the down-and-out businessman nodded with a bitter expression that seemed to have eaten coptis chinensis.

"I wanted to find Duna...it was my Stoneman friend, but when I saw him, he caught me and angrily scolded me for being a traitor and a thief...

.....”

"Do you have any clues about what he accused?"

"Of course I haven't done it! Although I am a arrogant and stupid waste, even so, I will not betray my friends... This is my bottom line."

Jacques Cole growled in a hoarse voice, even if the facial muscles twitched due to the pain.

Regis narrowed his eyes and looked at the glowing ore in his hand and thoughtfully.
