Chapter 173 [Slave](1/3)

He took Seth back to his residence. Although this big-headed guy was still full of curiosity about Duwei, before leaving, Deacon Clark had sternly reminded Seth that starting from today, everything in the future would be done.
Follow the orders of Master Duwei.
"It's like treating your teacher." That's how Clark described it.
Of course, it turns out that Seth has a teacher, and his teacher has a pretty good status in the Magic Guild. He was the same teacher who once entered the frozen forest with Gargamel, but after meeting Medusa, he tricked Gargamel.
A handful, Master Aziz, the guy who ran away first.
However, Seth had no status under Az, otherwise he would not have been assigned to sell wands. As an eighth-level magician in the Magic Guild, Az had many magic apprentices, and Seth was not lacking.
Such a one.
Therefore, from now on, Seth has changed his family and officially joined Du Wei's family.
"What's wrong, Seth?" Du Wei saw that this big-headed guy looked a little strange, and Wen Yan asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"No, no, it's nothing, Du Wei...Teacher Du Wei." Seth honestly called Du Wei "teacher" according to the tradition of the magic union. However, Du Wei frowned a little when he heard this title.
"Set." Duwei stopped and looked at the genius in magic research who he abducted: "I don't need you to call me teacher."
"But this is tradition..." Seth defended in a low voice: "In the magic union, all magic apprentices must call the magicians they are loyal to as 'teacher'."
"But I'm not your teacher." Du Wei shook his head: "You're not my student either, and I have nothing to teach you. I brought you here because I need your brains. To exaggerate, I
I need you to teach me something. Haha..."
Seth was terrified.
Du Wei patted this stupid guy, looked at his big head, and said with a smile: "Okay, you will understand in the future. What I like is your talent. I hope you can use your talent to help
I accomplished a lot."
Then, regardless of Seth's expression, Du Wei pointed to the front of the street: "Look, my residence has arrived."
In front is Du Wei's current temporary residence. This courtyard originally belonged to the eldest prince. It is said that it was the place where the eldest prince used to hide his beauty in the golden house. Of course, this is a rumor, and no one knows whether it is true. Du Wei doesn't know either.
Concern, he is leaving the imperial capital anyway.
This house is not small. When Du Wei moved in, the servants inside and the people who used to guard the house had all been dismissed with the fall of the eldest prince. Du Wei didn't bother to find anyone anymore. Now
The only people living in the house were an old servant, Ma De, and two former servants of the Luo Lin family. After the Luo Lin family moved back to Luo Lin Plain, they were unwilling to leave the imperial capital, so they stayed and remained under Du Wei for the time being.
In addition, the current family members include Vivian, the mouse Gargamel, and the mythical beast QQ. However, the existence of the mouse Gargamel and QQ is still a secret to everyone. Only Du Wei knows about these two guys.
exist.
When he came back, Du Wei was surprised to see this little girl Vivian standing at the door of the house, sitting so quietly on the steps of the door, holding her chin in her hands. She looked pitifully at the end of the street, probably
Because she stayed too long, the little silly girl was in a daze and didn't even notice Du Wei approaching.
"Why are you here?" Du Wei smiled and looked at Vivian who was sitting on the steps in a daze.
In fact, he was quite happy to see Vivian coming out. Ever since he brought Vivian back from "Brokeback Mountain" that day, this little girl who was already weak-tempered suddenly learned the news that her teacher had passed away. She came back.
After that, I kept myself locked in my room and felt depressed every day.
Du Wei went to see her several times every day, but every time he went, the little girl was silent and looked sad. Du Wei also tried to talk to tease her, but every time he talked, the little girl suddenly became confused.
She burst into tears. In the end, Du Wei had no choice but to let herself rest quietly in the room. I think as time passes day by day, the pain in her heart will eventually dissipate.
Sure enough, today he saw Vivian finally coming out and sitting at the door of the house. Du Wei walked up, reached out and tapped her head lightly, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Hey! Are you there?
Are you in a daze? Didn't you hear me?"
Vivian raised her eyelids, blinked twice, looked at Du Wei, and gradually came back to her senses. Then she stood up, rubbed her sore knees, and whispered: "You, have you passed the exam?
?”
Xiao Nizi still looked weak, but the pain in her eyes was much lighter, and her tone still contained concern for Du Wei.
Du Wei smiled and his tone became much softer: "Are you sitting here specifically to wait for me?"
"I...I'm worried about you." Vivian blushed and lowered her head: "The magic test is very difficult. I'm worried..."
Du Wei patted his chest hard, with a magic pharmacist's badge hanging on it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, look, this is my badge. The person standing in front of you now is already a qualified magician."
Master!"
Vivian stared at the Potion Master badge on Du Wei's chest with wide eyes, but before the little girl could say anything, Du Wei had already taken Vivian by the hand and strode towards the house. After taking two steps, he turned around.
He looked at Seth: "What are you doing standing still? Come in!"
Mud also quickly ran out of it. Duwei ordered Mud to take Seth in: "Let him choose a room by himself. There are so many rooms here anyway. Alas, it becomes deserted at night, like a ghost house."
.”
Mad nodded and was about to go down when he suddenly remembered something and turned around and said: "Master, Miss Ruolin has been here. She said that there is something going on in our shop and the business has been good recently. But there is not enough manpower. If
If possible, she hopes you will go to the shop to have a look. Moreover, she seems to be dissatisfied with the two craftsmen in our shop now... Also, the four quadruplets you sent to the shop seem to be Ruolin.
The lady is not very satisfied with them either."
Du Wei nodded: "Mader, I understand... um. Also, please remember one thing. Don't say 'Miss Ruolin' again in the future. Remember, she is a knight. No matter where you are in the future,
On any occasion, when you have to mention her, you must say 'Your Excellency, Knight Ruolin'. Remember? This is very important."
Ruolin is indeed worried about something.
Although she has the right boss now, and judging from the trend, this boss Du Wei is rising step by step, and his future is bright. Moreover, Du Wei also trusts Ruolin very much, and has decided to take down such a rising star in the imperial capital.
Jin's business was completely left to Ruolin to manage.
However, Ruolin didn't like this job.
In essence, she prefers to manage the pirates, or at least lead the fleet to sail on the sea and experience the wind and rain. That kind of adventurous life full of novelty and excitement makes Ruolin's heart move more than wearing a gorgeous outfit every day.
The almost ridiculous armor is surrounded by a group of hypocritical nobles.
However, Ruolin still obeyed Du Wei's arrangement. She was a smart woman, and she saw the difficulty of Du Wei's current shortage of manpower. Although this young master rose to greatness very quickly, he started too quickly and had no foundation at all.
The lack of available people is currently a fatal flaw for Du Wei. If this problem is not solved, it will cause great trouble for Du Wei's development.
Therefore, Ruolin still obeyed.
She managed the business in her hands with all her heart, and she fully demonstrated her abilities. She was surrounded by groups of nobles every day. She didn't need to sacrifice a little bit of lust occasionally like she did when she was walking around the world...
...Thanks to Du Wei for packaging her image, in fact, as long as Ruolin deliberately maintains a cold look, the nobles will surround her like flies.
Ruolin felt that she was almost too busy. Although she knew that today was the day when Master Du Wei went to the Magic Guild to take the exam, this smart female knight had great confidence in Du Wei... Just kidding, she knew all about this young master too well.
The test was a piece of cake for this young master? So, in the morning, she didn't even show concern for Du Wei's test results. Instead, she stayed in the shop and dealt with it.
Issues.
The current business is very good. In just a few days, it has brought Du Wei more than 1.5 million gold coins in income, deducting the initial investment cost, the cost of buying the store, personnel expenses, and the location of goods.
The cost is just that in these three days, Du Wei has made a net profit of one million gold coins.
Without the exploitation of the black-hearted merchants in the middle, Du Wei's fleet can continuously transport the goods hunted by the mercenary adventure groups from the frozen forest from the north directly to the imperial capital. The freshest goods, plus slightly lower prices
The price of a little bit, and Du Wei's current reputation in the aristocratic circle, made it possible that in just three days, almost half of the entire shipload of goods that Ruolin brought last time had been sold.
In the morning, she had already sent people back as quickly as possible to deliver messages to the ship anchored in Walker Port, and asked people to continue purchasing in the north and transport the goods to the imperial capital.
And then, she finally waited for Du Wei.
Du Wei brought Vivian with him. Now that this little girl is finally willing to leave the room, she can no longer be bored at home alone. Taking her out for a walk will also be of great benefit to ease her mood.
of.
Vivian is very interested in the various goods from the northern frozen forest in the industry run by Du Wei. From a magician's perspective, Vivian feels that many things are very useful.
Leaving Vivian there to slowly choose, Du Wei and Ruolin went to the room upstairs to talk carefully for a while.
Ruolin first talked about some of the problems she is currently facing.
First of all, there is a shortage of manpower. Since it is a business for the aristocratic group, the store also needs some strictly trained waiters... Those aristocrats are not ordinary people. If you just go to the slave market and buy a few people back, they have not gone through strict etiquette training.
It will make people talk behind his back, and it will also lose Du Wei's face. The nobles are very particular about these things.
Secondly, there is the problem of craftsmen. Most of the goods shipped from the north are raw materials, although Du Wei had hired several good craftsmen in the imperial capital at high prices before opening the business. There were blacksmiths, tailors, carpenters, and several others.
A carver. But it's still not enough.
To make the furs of those monsters into exquisite clothes and fur coats, you can't just sew and mend them casually. While the nobles pay attention to the materials, they also pay great attention to the novelty of the styles. In this regard, it is obviously insufficient.
Although most of those precious magic cores have been ordered by the magic union, some wealthy and noble families will also come to purchase them to please the magicians they recruit in their families. There are also some weapons...
To be continued...
