Chapter 415 Call me...Aizen!
Erica...
The name was not familiar, but Mo Cheng was not unfamiliar with the person represented by this name.
After walking out of the Forest of Hel, in the first battle in the strict sense, apart from the group of bastards that Bloodfang could kill at will, Erica was the first enemy who was evenly matched with Mo Cheng, and even put Mo Cheng at a disadvantage for a time.
Until today, he still secretly regrets that the punch that was supposed to lower his opponent's health failed to hit him.
That kind of regret is like when you reach the eighth stage with five three-star gold cards, including a three-star Soraka, and you have a huge advantage , but the opponent comes back with one blood and wins.
The kind that can't fall asleep in the middle of the night, shouting indignantly, "Those are five three-stars!"
It's a pity, but if he could really borrow the power of the Dragon Cult, Mo Cheng wouldn't mind forgetting the punch that missed.
Compared to the [Aghanim's Crystal] rewarded after completing the mission, the past minor disputes are not worth mentioning at all.
It’s just that Mo Cheng feels that he is very open-minded, but he can’t guarantee that the other party is the same.
"I fought Erica once in Hesen Town and almost beat her to death. Will this hinder me from using the power of the cult?"
"Probably not." Isabella recalled carefully how the Dragon Cult gave them the mission. "Erica from the Cult specifically asked us to come out and contact you. After discovering the captain's identity as a Dragonborn, she gave up the mission and asked us to try our best to bring you into the Cult."
"If Erica wants to stop you, Captain, from joining the cult, the others will not let her go. The purpose of establishing the cult in the first place is to provide a safe haven for all Dragonborn. The cult will never refuse a Dragonborn from joining."
Theresa also added, "Also, Erica is very fair in the cult, and the members all trust her."
Hearing what the two people from the Dragon Worshiping Church said, Mo Cheng felt a little relieved.
The reason for being relieved was not because of what Isabella and Theresa said, but because Mo Cheng felt that if Erica really prevented him from using the power of the cult...
Then he wouldn't mind secretly delivering the punch that missed the target.
At that time, Erica could teleport, and now Mo Cheng also has [Smoke Screen]. At that time, we will have to see whether Erica can dodge faster or Mo Cheng can attack faster.
Mo Cheng has always been confident in his fists.
After the three chatted for a while, they went out to buy breakfast. Although most of the people in the group were able to cook food, the food they made was not very delicious. When they could buy food, there was no need to cook it by themselves.
At least Mo Cheng had a pretty accurate judgement of his cooking skills. He could make something that could fill his stomach, but if he was asked to make something delicious and nutritious...
That's dreaming.
As for the cooking skills of other people in the team, Mo Cheng couldn't see anyone who could cook delicious food. They were either nobles or people with aristocratic professions like mages. Mo Cheng estimated that they might go to the kitchen less often than he did.
After breakfast was bought, the others woke up one after another. Several days of traveling were exhausting even with a carriage. But having experienced the soft bed and sleeping until waking up naturally without any bumps or vibrations was really a good way to restore energy.
Considering that everyone has different tastes, Mo Cheng bought several different types of breakfast to take into account other people's eating habits as much as possible.
Mo Cheng did not remain silent at the dinner table like traditional nobles. He talked about the next arrangements while eating. "The next destination is Rothal City. I told you before that a batch of instruments from the Winterhold Magic Academy were sent here. We need to find them and bring them back."
"Considering that Isabella and Theresa might be seen escaping from Napa Harbor with you , or that Dorothy and I's identities might be discovered by someone, we should change our identities and enter Rothal City."
As he spoke, Mo Cheng asked Helena who was standing beside him, "Helena, does Seranis have any property in Rothal City?"
As a "nominal noble" canonized by Queen Caroline, the biggest difference between Seranis and other nobles is that they have no territory, and the core source of their income comes from their own industry.
The status of nobility means that Serannis's industries have corresponding tax reduction or even tax exemption rights in Aundair and surrounding countries.
The magnitude of this tax reduction is not a small matter. A business family with an aristocratic status can completely rely on the tax reduction and exemption policy to double the value of the family business.
Many countries impose high taxes on businessmen.
Compared with the nobles with territorial titles, the territories of [honorary nobles] like Serannis are industries in the surrounding countries.
Helena thought for a moment and shook her head. "As for Lothal City, Serannis doesn't have any related industries. Our main business is shipping. If it were in a port, it would be fine. For an inland city like this, we are only considering developing in the interior of Aundair for the time being."
"Is that so? It doesn't seem to be a difficult task." Mo Cheng narrowed his eyes, took out his mobile phone, and clicked on the cached post in the [Foreign APP]. "As a big business family, Seranis discovered that there are business opportunities in Rothal City. So the Seranis clan leader brought bodyguards and consultants here to conduct business investigations. It doesn't seem to be a rare thing, right?"
"That's true, but are there any business opportunities in Rothal City that can serve as an excuse for us?"
Helena naturally knew that the group needed to change their identities to enter the city of Rothal, and even this identity and purpose had to stand up to scrutiny.
As for her identity, there would be no problem for her, the leader of the Serannis tribe, to go to Rothal City with her bodyguards and advisors.
If there is any behavior that will not arouse suspicion from others, then a businessman coming to conduct a business investigation upon hearing about a "business opportunity" is definitely one of them. The question is whether the "business opportunity" as the purpose of the visit can withstand the questioning of others.
"Fifty kilometers away from Rothal City, there is a red stone mine with huge reserves and it is not difficult to mine."
"If it's redstone ore, there's really no problem."
After the business family patriarch personally confirmed it, Mo Cheng took out his suitcase from the space backpack and returned to the room to change his clothes.
Although he said he changed his clothes, he actually just changed into a pair of white trousers and a white windbreaker.
Only at this time did Mo Cheng feel that his suitcase had a large capacity and could hold anything.
Mo Cheng took off his glasses and ran his hand over his hair. Suddenly, his hair looked like it was coated with hairspray, and his entire temperament and appearance changed.
"I am the captain of Baron Helena's bodyguards. From now on, call me..."
“…Aizen!”
