Chapter 50: Earl of Winter Ting

　　Herliny couldn't stand as soon as Phyllis walked with her front foot. The gold ticket and the frost fire ring in her hand seemed to be hot, and she slid into her arms and left in a hurry.
　　His behavior is a little abnormal, but in the eyes of unsuspecting people, he just thinks that he is very rich and dare not stay long, so he didn't think much.
　　 Instead, it was Gallovena, anxious like an ant on a hot pot. He wanted to go but couldn't go right away. The guests around him barely calmed down and laughed and continued to communicate.
　　 Renne looked at the figure of Heleney leaving and winked at Viola.
　　 What he meant was that he could not let him run if he had to find someone to stay with Hlinney.
　　 Viola shook his head slightly, and did not accept the offer.
　　The trade fair continued, but the guests still talked about the big deal just now. They gathered in small groups and each small circle was discussing related topics.
　　 Viola's face gradually eased, but there was still a trace of anger in her eyes, which made people feel that she was in a bad mood now.
　　 "What a good actor."
　　 Ryan murmured to himself, taking up food to fill his stomach, while observing Gallovena in secret.
　　 When he was 70% full, Gallovena couldn't help but bid Viola a farewell. Viola remained silent and personally sent him away.
　　 The trade fair is coming to an end, and the guests leave one after another.
　　 Ren went back to the fifth floor. Soon after, Viola came up too.
　　 As soon as she walked in, she asked, "Ryan, how did you find that there is a problem with that soul stone?"
　　 Obviously, this question has been held in her heart for a long time. Despite all the signs that the big deal at night was a scam and it was aimed at herself, she still didn't understand how Renn could see through the true and false of Demon Soul at a glance.
　　 Rehn had already thought about his words, stretched out two fingers, and smiled: "Two reasons."
"First, I told you just now. If the demon soul of the mountain giant is real, why didn't Herlinie fuse by herself? Mastering the second elemental bloodline is a huge improvement for the warlock. It seems that the soul exchange of the best ring is not losing, but it has missed a great opportunity to increase strength."
　　 "This is Hrinney's biggest doubt."
He paused, and continued: "The second reason is a coincidence. The demon soul I fused comes with a very rare visual sensory element, which can assist in the identification of the demon soul, so I realized that the demon soul is fake at a glance. , Not a mountain giant at all."
　　 Rainn’s words are seven points true and three points false, and they are also good for oneself by properly showing some ability to identify demons.
　　If you can get the name of Master Jianhun in the future, you can also hide the eye of the soul.
　　 Viola tapped Zhenshou and sat down beside Renn.
　　 She didn't ask Renn what the visual element was. This is the greatest secret of the transcendent. Her focus is that the devil soul is actually fake.
　　 "Not the demon soul of the mountain giant? What could it be?"
Rennes said his guess, "It is very likely that it is a mutated mountain ogre. It is related to the mountain giant. The two are very similar. That's why Herini dared to use it to deceive, and he was sure to deceive Levins special."
　　 "It turned out to be a mountain ogre."
　　 Viola was scared for a while, if Levinster failed to recognize the true and false demon soul, then he would lose more than 20,000 gold today!
　　 Violet House seems to be doing well, but the competition in this line is fierce. More than 20,000 gold is her profit for half a year.
　　 Not to mention, even the reputation of the fair may be ruined, and it will be difficult to do it again in the future.
　　 In other words, Renn saved the Violet House tonight.
　　 Not only did he avoid a big pit, Renn also cooperated with him tacitly, sending the annoying Phyllis into this big pit, and when Phyllis discovered that there was a problem with the demon soul, he would probably vomit blood with anger.
　　 Viola felt happy when he thought of this.
　　 She stared at Ren, and said softly: "Fortunately I have you today."
　　 Looking at the pair of blue eyes that seemed to talk, and the sincerity on her face, Renn was very helpful, and waved his hand: "You also reacted quickly, you noticed something was wrong, and you trusted me so much."
　　 In exchange for someone else, in such a large transaction, I am afraid that it is difficult to believe that a wizard who has just become a first-class wizard has never demonstrated the ability of a soul connoisseur before.
　　 However, Viola didn't hesitate to believe him at the time.
　　 This moved Renn a bit, and it felt good to be believed.
　　 Viola smiled, "Of course I believe you."
　　 Suddenly she got up and took out a transaction contract from the drawer of the desk, a flame was lit in her hand, and the contract was quickly burned to ashes.
　　 The ashes automatically gathered without wind, and fell into the trash can.
　　 Rehn clearly saw that this contract was signed by himself to purchase the World Tree Seed. Burning the contract means that a sum of money is written off, and there is no need to pay back the more than one thousand gold.
　　 "Thanks a lot." Renn didn't say much, thanking him.
　　 Viola didn't take it seriously, as if it was just a trivial matter, and smiled: "You deserve it, and it's far more than that. I owe you a favor."
　　 Ryan wanted to make a joke about what should be paid for the favor, but when he saw Viola sit back, his face was contemplative.
　　 The room fell silent.
　　 In the eyes of the soul, Viola's emotions are very complicated, but relatively calm. Obviously she is thinking about many things, which should be related to the deception at night.
　　 Ren didn't bother her, quietly admiring the beauty in front of her.
　　 There are not many opportunities like this.
　　 A moment later, Viola turned her head unintentionally to see Renn staring at him in a daze. His ears were a little red, and his heart was ashamed. At the same time, he was a little proud, and he hummed to remind him.
　　 Reyne looked back a little embarrassed, but fortunately he had a thicker skin and pretended nothing happened.
　　 "Are you thinking about your uncle?"
　　 He changed the subject, trying to resolve the embarrassment.
　　 Viola couldn't help but look a little startled, and said in surprise: "You can even see this?"
　　 She didn't remember that she had mentioned Uncle Gallovena to Renne. Before tonight, Renne didn't even know that he was a member of the Duke's family. If you hadn't known it for a long time, and paid special attention to Gallovena's actions at the trade fair, it would be difficult to find that he was an associate of Helene.
　　 This guy's observation ability is too keen!
　　 Reyn smiled lightly on the surface, thinking that this pretense was successful, and finally shocked Viola, hehe.
　　 Viola shook his head and let out a sigh.
"Since you can see it all, then I have nothing to hide." Viola looked like he was not afraid of being ugly, and smiled bitterly: "That Herlinie, it should be a liar my uncle Gallovena found. It is very possible that even the devil souls of the mountain giants belong to him."
　　 Renn was not surprised at all.
　　 This kind of internal struggle within a big family is not uncommon. It has been performed countless times in many TV dramas, and the degree of excitement is only slightly worse than that of Gong Dou.
　　 He just doesn't understand Gallovena's motives to destroy the Violet House.
　　 "What good will it do for him?"
　　 "There are so many benefits."
　　 Viola explained: "The Violet House had been operating at a loss before I took over, and it almost went bankrupt."
　　 "It took a lot of energy and cost to get better and start making money."
"However, the Violet House is not entirely mine. I only own 30%. The rest are owned by the Duke. 70% of the profits earned each year must be handed over to the Duke. If it is not managed well, I will lose this house. Store, hand over to other people in the family."
　　 "It turned out to be like this." Renn probably understood, and asked, "Galloweena fell in love with Violet House?"
　　 He noticed one thing, Viola's name for the Duke of the Silver Star, like outsiders, is also called the Duke, which shows that her relationship with the Duke of the Silver Star is not so close.
　　 Silver Star Duke seems to value wealth very much, not like the head of a family, but more like the chairman of a large group.
　　 Viola shook his head slightly: "He is more than just this store."
　　 "The total value of this store is actually not high. If all were resold, it would probably sell for 100,000 gold dongs."
"Gallowena has more assets than me. He has two textile factories, a coal mine, a newspaper, and a river transportation company, as well as shares in Longshande Wharf and dozens of shops, with a total value of more than 300,000. Golden shield."
　　 Ren was stunned, the duke’s family is too rich!
　　 At every turn, it is hundreds of thousands of gold shields, which is equivalent to several hundred million in copper yuan, which can be worth several "small goals".
　　 No wonder Gallovena is so popular at the trade fair, worth hundreds of thousands of gold shields, who doesn't want to fawn?
　　 But his methods are not visible, the food is too ugly, he even started on the family niece.
　　 It seems that the greed of capitalists is the same in every world!
　　 Viola didn’t know what Rennes thought, and continued:
However, Gallovena, like me, has 70% of his assets belonging to the Duke, and he must turn in profits regularly every year.

　　 "Descendants like me and Gallovena manage assets for the Duke. There are dozens of people in the family. Whoever makes more money can get more assets and get closer to the Duke."
　　 "The status in the family, unless it is a legendary and extraordinary person, it will speak for the contribution of wealth."
　　 At this point, Viola's eyes were full of helplessness, and there was a bit of exhaustion in her expression.
　　 Lane sympathizes with her in his heart.
　　 The Silver Star Duke’s style is too strict. It feels that he is not maintaining the family, but operating the family as a company. He feels cold, without much warmth.
　　 The reason why the Duke of Silver Star did this is easy for Rennes to guess.
　　 Everything is to build a floating city!
　　The floating city of the empire is a prestigious existence throughout Allenus. It is a symbol of the status of a holy soul wizard and possesses terrifying power that is unimaginable by ordinary people.
　　 However, in people’s impressions, the floating city also represents another thing, that is wealth!
　　 Every floating city is piled up with astronomical golden shields, which is more attractive than the rumored dragon treasure.
　　 The Duke of Silver Star has been a holy soul wizard for hundreds of years, and his ability to collect resources and wealth is obviously not as good as the Duke of Redstone, who is one step later. There is only one wizard tower so far.
　　 Needless to think about it, the Duke of Silver Star is extremely concerned about this, and can only cruelly squeeze his descendants as wage earners, and the whole family is moving towards a goal.
　　Ryan finally understood what Viola had said before.
　　Born in the Duke’s House is not always good, and sometimes it can become a burden.
　　 If Viola cannot contribute wealth to the family, he will be eliminated sooner or later. With her amazing beauty, it is likely to be used as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits.
　　 The Violet House is the guarantee of Viola's status in the family.
　　 "Gallowena framed me secretly, in addition to wanting to take the opportunity to take this shop, more importantly, he wants to seek the earl of Winter Lightning." Viola said slowly.
　　 Rehn didn't understand, "What does this have to do with the Earl of Winter Ting?"
The Earl of Winter Ting knows that it is located in the north of Longshan De City. It is part of the Duke of Silver Star. It is also the second largest territory in the Duchy after Longshan De. It has a population of nearly one million. Connected with the longest river in the empire, the "Nakumer River", the four large rivers in the duke also merged into it, becoming one of the largest lakes in the empire and an extremely important water channel.
　　Walking upstream from Dongting Lake, to the west, you can reach the foot of the world mountain range; sailing downstream, to the east, it leads to Modu, known as the World Trade Center, and finally into the endless sea.
　　 The importance of this territory is self-evident.
　　 Viola explained: "Three years ago, the former Earl of Winter Ting, my other uncle, passed away, and the title of Earl has been vacant until now. Many people in the family want this territory."
　　 "The Duke made a speech at the beginning of this year, and at the end of the year, he made a fundamental contribution and elected the new earl. Whoever performs best will get the territory of Winter Ting."
"Gallowena and I, as well as several other family members, are likely to get this earl, especially my chance. This year, the profit of the Violet House has almost doubled, showing very good business ability, so Gallovena hit me."
　　 Rain suddenly realized.
　　 If Viola stumbles at the trade fair tonight and loses money, then she will lose a lot of points in front of the Duke of Silver Star and it will be impossible to win the title of Earl.
　　 In turn, Gallovena gained a great advantage in the competition.
　　 Under the temptation of a real earl title and a large territory, Gallovena resorted to this method, it is really normal.
