Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Three Guests From Afar

Fiat is a city of mine, but it is still too small compared to Deep Rock City. This is also the weakness of the southern region. Most of them focus on business and processing industries, but they lack interest in basic industries. Therefore, most of the south do import raw materials from the north and then process them and then sell them. Because of this, they always feel that they are invisibly superior to the group of Yankees who only know how to work hard. The trees you have worked hard to cut in the mountains and forests can only sell a few broken gold coins, but when we get to our place, you can make luxurious furniture and decorations with a little processing. At that time, one piece will be hundreds of thousands of gold coins... How can those savages in the north who only have muscles understand this?

Therefore, the contradiction between the north and the south is at multiple levels. They are not only because of the disagreement of the ruling class and the gap between the rich and the poor, but also this superior mentality also occupies the majority. The South relies on its well-connected transportation network and is not afraid of the complaints from the north. In their opinion, no matter how many of the yinkees complain, they will have to work hard like slaves in the end. Without us, they may not even be able to eat a full meal.

Under this general mentality, southerners are not very concerned about this basic industry, and those who do this kind of work are naturally looked down upon. Therefore, in such a large southern region, only Grosso and Fiat have basic industries, while the rest of the areas are mostly mainly trade and processing industries. Because the ore and grain in the Grosso and Fiat have no price advantage compared to their northern neighbors, their influence in the south was very small. But now they have lost the resource supplement from the north, and the Grosso area has been completely destroyed by Rhodes, so the only Fiat remains.

However, the Southern Parliament has no time to care about Fiat's problem. First, this is a small mine. The total amount of ore it produces is not very large every year. The Southern Parliament is overwhelmed by the food crisis caused by the Grosso area. Although they have now opened the granary and have stabilized the originally restless people. However, the reformists themselves also know that this is just a delaying strategy. If they cannot find a stable source of food, their lives will definitely not be smooth sailing.

Because of this, they still have no time and free time to notice this small town located among the mountains and ridges.

When Rhodes entered the small mine city in a carriage, he realized that it was very peaceful. Perhaps because he was not closely connected with other places, or because he was far enough from Grosso, the storm caused by Rhodes did not seem to affect the place. But he didn't care.

Retracting his gaze from the carriage window, Rhode raised his brows, then looked at Cerestina who was sitting opposite him, looking at him with a meaningful expression. Seeing Rhode look at him, the devil lady just showed a sarcastic smile. However, Rhode didn't say much, and he also understood what thoughts were in the minds of the two people around him.

Anyone who has followed Rhode for a while will know that he does not like others to regard himself as a woman, but this time, he took the initiative to wear women's clothing, which is obviously a very good deal for some people. This is also the reason why Rhode would rather travel alone than take Anne and others to leave. After all, if only summoning elves are at hand, they will not say anything even if they see it. But if others see it... then Rhode is really better to die.

Celia was a little better. The angel girl, An Ancient and quietly sat next to her without looking sideways. She was concentrating on admiring the scenery outside, as if she had no idea about Rhode's outfit. But Cerestina was different. Every time she would look at Rhode opposite her with teasing and mocking eyes. Obviously, in Cerestina's opinion, this was also avenge for Rhode to make him his maid. However, Rhode's performance made Ser

Restina was very disappointed. Even under his own eyes, he did not show any discomfort, shame or embarrassment. Instead, he showed no difference from an ordinary woman. It was as if facing Cerestina's gaze at this moment. Rhodes did not turn his head and pretended not to see it. On the contrary, he also showed a soft and elegant smile to Cerestina - as if he was really a well-educated lady.

So shameless!!

Seeing Rod's smile, Cerestina gritted her teeth indignantly. Finally, she turned her head with a humming sound and looked out the window - but this does not mean that Cerestina gave up. When she finds a chance, the young lady will definitely not mind laughing at Rhode fiercely.

Seeing Cerestina admit defeat, Rhode didn't say much. He let go since he played this fake identity. Although a man dressed up as a woman, especially a person like Rhode who hates being regarded as a woman because of his innate conditions, the current situation should be a torment. In fact, before wearing women's clothing, Rhode was indeed a little reluctant, but after putting on women's clothing, Rhode let go. It was like acting, walking on the stage alone, facing the gaze of so many people, basically

It is normal that you will be squeamish and shy, unable to show it. Only by letting go of yourself and not worrying or paying attention to the eyes of the outside world can you achieve the end. Now, for victory, Rhodes can no longer care about so much. Since you have done it, then be happy and don’t be so shy. What’s the use of being reserved at this time? At worst, just treat it as if you have opened a personal monster account in the game. Anyway, there are too many players doing this, and they have never felt any psychological burden.

At this time, the carriage had slowed down. Through the car window, Rhodes could see the door of the chamber of commerce getting closer and closer - this was Rhodes' goal this time.

In Fiat, the mining resources are controlled by two families, one is the Edward family and the other is the Howard family. Both families started with mines and each controlled half of the ore resources here. Of course, this is just on the surface, but in fact, the resources mastered by both parties are still somewhat different.

The Howard family mainly controls crystal mines, while the Edward family controls silver mines and iron mines. Because the ore here is quite abundant, it can still meet the needs of the two companies. However, both sides are obviously not satisfied with this, but instead waved their hoes and tried to dig each other's corners, trying to make their own family dominant and become the real master of the Fiat region.

Of course, the competition between these two families is not limited to this level, but also in political positions. The Howard family, who controls the crystal mines, tends to be royal, and most of the crystal mines in their hands are sold to the north to make magical technologies and weapons. The Edward family, who controls the silver mines and iron mines, is a very obvious reformist force. They have always regarded the Howard family as traitors and enemies, and the struggle between the two sides has never subsided.

Before arriving here, Rhodes had also done some investigations. Now in Fiat City, the two families can be said to be evenly matched. Previously, during the Midsummer Festival, the Edward family suffered heavy losses due to their support for Wings of Freedom and Rosen. The Howard family took the opportunity to gain the upper hand. Originally, they could have taken this opportunity to swallow the entire Fiat in one bite and solve their major problems at the same time. But unexpectedly, in the thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, Hexi, Huo

When the Wald family was about to attack the Edward family, the reformists declared independence. The Howard family, who had lost the support of the royal family, suddenly became weak, and the Edward family, who was originally oppressed by him, took this opportunity to resurrect. At present, the forces of both sides can be said to be evenly matched, but the situation is developing towards the Edward family. No matter what, for the Howard family, without the support from the royal family, they are still alone.

This decadence is not only reflected in what Rhodes heard. He could even see the door of the Howard Chamber of Commerce through the windows of the carriage. The doors were deserted, and it looked like it was about to close. No wonder, Howard's crystal mine was originally a raw material for making magic weapons and technology. Most of their output here was sold directly to the royal party. Now that the transportation line is blocked, the Howard family of course has no way to transport the crystal mine. Their reputation in the south is not good. No one is willing to do business with them now. So the situation of the Howard family is getting worse and worse.

But this time, Rhodes did not come here to help the Howard family. First, he did not have the time to do so. Second, when he went to find the Howard family at the forefront, wouldn’t that cause trouble for himself? The biggest purpose of Rhodes came here disguised as his identity was to avoid his "hate reputation", so how could he foolishly raise hatred for himself?

So the goal he came this time was a completely different place.

The carriage stopped in front of the Chamber of Commerce of "Edward's Mine".

Celia got out of the carriage first and opened the door for Rhode from the other side. Rhode lifted up his skirt and walked out of the carriage gracefully. Seeing Rhode's movements, Cerestina curled her lips and followed Rhode out of the carriage unwillingly.

Both Rhodes, Celia and Cerestina have outstanding appearances, and their unique temperaments naturally attract others' attention. As soon as the three of them appeared, everyone who was busy outside the chamber of commerce couldn't help but turn their attention to them. Soon, a person wearing exquisite clothes and looking like a chamber of commerce was greeted by the chamber of commerce and came to Rhodes.

"Welcome to the Edward Chamber of Commerce, can I ask if I can help you?"

"Hello, this gentleman."

Looking at the man in front of him, Rhode smiled, then nodded as a gift, and replied at the same time--Rhode's voice was not the low voice that he usually had, but was more similar to the gentle and soft voice when he talked to Christie. However, compared with that time, Rhode's voice was more gentle and had a bit of a feminine tone at this moment. This made Celia and Cerestina, who were following him, look at each other in surprise. They really didn't know that Rhode had such a skill. However, Rhode obviously did not care about the expressions of his two subordinates. He first smiled at the man in front of him, and then took out a piece of parchment with badges and inks from his clothes with light movements.

"I am Miranda Sailun from the Sailun Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Light. I came on behalf of the Sailun Chamber of Commerce, hoping to discuss with your Chamber of Commerce about purchasing ores..."

"oh?"

Hearing this sentence, a hint of joy appeared in the man's eyes. He hurriedly reached out and respectfully took the parchment from Rhode's hand and opened it. He glanced quickly. Then he nodded immediately and put the parchment into his arms, then turned sideways, making an invitation gesture to Rhode and others.

"Please come in, dear Miss Sailun, I will report this to the President immediately, and I believe he will be very interested in it."

Under the leadership of the man, Rhodes, Celia and Cerestina came to a luxuriously decorated lounge in the chamber of commerce. After instructing the servants to entertain them, the man couldn't wait to leave on the excuse of going to rule the chairman of the chamber of commerce. Although his behavior was natural, Rhodes still knew that this guy must have taken this opportunity to confirm his identity. After all, as a chamber of commerce, what they had to worry about was a scammer, although money was something other than anything else. But for merchants, they did not directly reduce their brain IQ just because they saw three beauties and then whatever the other party said was. If there was such a person, then he would definitely not be suitable to be a businessman.

Although his identity was indeed fake, Rhodes was not worried at all. He just sat there leisurely and had tea. Instead, Cerestina, who was standing behind him, was quite uncomfortable. She was the one who sat there leisurely and now, she was actually standing behind Rhodes like a servant to serve him. This was a great shame!

Although she was very unhappy, Cerestina's professional spirit was still very good. She stood there straight, and on the surface, there was no problem at all. As for Celia, there was no need to mention her. She was as quiet as ever and didn't talk much, but just looked at the luxurious reception room with curiosity.

Rhode took the opportunity to drink black tea while thinking about his plan again deep in his heart. This time, the reason he chose to come to the Edward Chamber of Commerce was to completely destroy the mine here. The method Rhode needed to take was very simple. As a player who was no longer familiar with the Duchy of Moon, he knew that under the mine was a earth element creature, and later it was precisely because these two families mined here in order to compete with their own strength, and finally lifted the seal, which provoked the earth element creature. Then the player could obtain a new mission copy here, the main task was to destroy the earth element creature and regain the mine cave.

However, this time Rhode did not intend to destroy this earth element creature, although in terms of strength, he did not have a chance. According to Rhode's memory, the level of this earth element creature is about 45 to 50, and it is an element lord of the manipulation level. Of course, this is still very different from the dominant lords like Qi Lian, but it is still considered a lord-level creature. Rhodes took a fancy to its ability to manipulate and command other low-level earth element creatures and made this decision. After all, here, an earth element lord of about 50 can also be considered a horizontal move, and there is no fear of being destroyed by others. In this way, the entire mine will naturally be blocked, and there is no way to dig ore, and the south will naturally lose the last source they rely on.

Even if the reformists were so crazy that they found someone to destroy the earth element creature, Rhodes was not worried. He knew very well that this earth element creature had completely integrated with the mine. Whether it was to seal it or destroy it, if anyone dared to do this, then with the complete collapse of the earth element creature, the mine would also completely collapse - which saved Rhodes' trouble.

The reason why Rhode chose to disguise himself came to the door was that the seal of the earth element creature was deep in the mining area controlled by the Edward family and the Howard family. It was not easy to lift the seal with his own power alone. It was precisely because of this that Rhodes put his mind on the head of the Edward family. After all, it is always good not to dirty his own hands.

Moreover, he has something to use...

Just as Rhode thought of this, he heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside the door, and then the man's voice rang out of the door in panic.

"Miss, you can't go in, this is......"

"I know, Uncle Hans, but this time my father has been left to me to deal with. Don't worry, I won't mess it up."

With this sound, the door of the reception room opened again, and then a woman with bright red curly hair like flames and wearing a light clothing worn by a trader walked in quickly. Seeing Rhode sitting on the sofa drinking tea leisurely, the red-haired woman couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but soon, she showed an excited and enthusiastic smile and came to Rhode, and reached out to the other party with a smile.

"Hello, Miss Sailun, I am Emily of the Edward Chamber of Commerce. I am on my father's order, no, I am here to deal with the specific matters about ore transactions with the Chamber of Commerce. If you have any questions, you can ask me, and I promise to answer any questions."

“…………Hello, Miss Emily.”

Finally here.

Looking at the red-haired woman in front of him, Rhode raised his brows slightly, and an undetectable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The reason why he wanted to come here as a woman was to dress up as a woman, and judging by the current situation, things were moving very smoothly in the direction he expected. Thinking of this, Rhode quickly stood up, first smiled gracefully at Emily, and then reached out his hand.

"I am Miranda Sailen...I hope we can cooperate happily."

From all aspects.

While holding Emily's palm, Rhode said deep in his heart.
Chapter completed!
