Linger City is the capital of the Kingdom of LaVillis. It is said that its predecessor was a floating city that fell to the ground at the end of the "Sky Civilization". The impact of the fall hit the ground and burst into huge pits. The pits slowly formed a lake. The lake water flooded most of the structure of the floating city underwater. Later, the city gradually formed around the remains of the floating city and developed into the current royal capital. Located in the center of the capital is a lake formed by the Rhine River. The center of the lake is the place of the royal palace. In addition to the palace, Linger City has six other areas, namely six street groups, including the First Avenue to the Sixth Avenue.

The First Avenue is the residence of the princes and nobles, and the Duke of Isere is the most majestic building in the First Avenue. The Second Avenue is the most prosperous commercial street in the south of the mainland and the stronghold of many chambers of commerce. The Third Avenue is the industrial area of ​​the city of Ringer Ire, and is one of the few places in the kingdom where airships can be built. However, in addition to the arsenal of the Wang family, there are also some private workshops here. As long as you have money and skills, private workshops can be entrusted to build airships. However, the price is astronomical for ordinary people.

The Fourth Avenue is Happy Street. For those rich and powerful people, this is a paradise that can be bought for even their dreams. However, in addition to them, there are also cheap enjoyment open to civilians. The Fifth Avenue is the residence of civilians and the largest of the six areas. Of course, the living environment cannot be compared with the First Avenue. However, the LaVillis Wang family has always had a tradition of being in charge of the rule and loving the people. Every year, they will draw a large budget to specifically rectify the facilities of the Fifth Avenue, so even from a picky perspective, life here can be called stable and convenient.

Sixth Avenue is the only place in Linmeiyi City that does not junction with other areas. It is located behind the royal city. It is surrounded by the Rhine River flowing through the royal city. Only a few heavily guarded arch bridges connect the royal city and the streets on both sides. The residents of the royal city can only look across the river to the opposite Sixth Avenue, and few people know who lives inside. In addition to the six streets above, Lingmeiyi City also has floating urban relics sinking at the bottom of the lake, monster maze buried deep underground, etc., but these have nothing to do with the story for the time being. Let us first look at the Second Avenue of the commercial area.

"When I heard that someone looked for me, I thought who it was..."

A gorgeously decorated four-wheeled carriage was running lightly on the road. The unicorn in the carriage moved his eyes from the scenery outside the window and fell on the young man in white opposite.

"So it's you, Yili, I really didn't expect to meet you so soon."

"Yes, I never thought that I could meet the Iserre family on a country airship..." Yili responded with a wry smile. "To be honest, when I asked someone to inform me in front of the Duke's Mansion, I felt very up and down, and I was shivering behind me..."

In this way, Yili shrank her shoulders like fear.

"Hey, you are a rich young man at least, so you are not that exaggerated, right?" Qilin recalled that when he saw Charlotte in the Duke's Mansion, Yili was indeed nervous.

After the initial introduction, he already knew that Yili's identity was the young leader of the Gren Chamber of Commerce, and the Gren Chamber of Commerce was the top ten large chambers of commerce in the kingdom. Despite this, Qilin was still surprised that Yili would find the Duke's Mansion. Because the son of the merchant left a very good impression on him when he was on the airship, even if Yili invited him out for a walk, Qilin agreed without much hesitation. He asked Charlotte to tell Noin that he would come back later, and then he rode with Yili in a carriage while chatting to Second Avenue.

"That's different. Compared with the "Uncrowned Royal Family" like the Isere family that has been standing for hundreds of years, other nobles are no different from civilians." Yili argued so. Although in the eyes of ordinary people, as the young east of the Grayne Chamber of Commerce, he is also a well-known figure, but he is always a civilian. Compared with the "Uncrowned Royal Family" standing at the top of the pyramid of power, the gap is as obvious as the world's vast clouds.

"Oh, it turns out that Nuo Yin's identity is so noble..." Qilin nodded with admiration, and then shrugged without any hesitation. "Forget it, I have nothing to do with the Duke's family anyway... Then again, how did you find me?"

"...Good question." Yili sighed like a sigh. "At that time, I saw you walking towards the Kongqi and then I was taken directly into the base of the Kingdom Army, but it scared me and thought something had happened to you. Later, I bribed a soldier and asked him to help inquire about your news. But I realized that you were actually an acquaintance of the amazing duke and daughter... I really can't be looked at."

"I didn't expect it myself..." Qilin spread his hands helplessly. "And what? Come to the Duke's Mansion to find me?"

"Well, I heard that you were taken back to your home by the Iserei, so today I mustered up the courage to come to the Duke's Mansion to submit a message. I was still thinking what to do if you were not here or turned against others... But it seems that my luck is not bad." Yili said this and expressed peace of mind to Qilin.

"...I said, you actually don't have to go through such a big trouble, right?" Qilin pointed out. Although there are indeed such heroes who meet by chance and warm-heartedly in the world, Yili does not seem to be that kind of person. Strictly speaking, Yili's businessman atmosphere is actually quite strong, so Qilin really doesn't understand why this young leader of the Gren Chamber of Commerce did this level for him.

"I don't want to be troublesome like this. If my father knew that I came to visit the "Unmian Wang Family" without authorization, he would have to break my legs..." Yili shook his head, showing an expression of indescribable words, as if he was hesitating whether to say it. "Actually, it's because the Gren family has a very troublesome family motto..."

"Family motto?"

"Well, the content of the family precept is 'A drop of water will be rewarded with a spring of water'. The descendants of the Gran family must abide by this rule... So, what I owe you is a life-saving kindness. According to the family precept, there must be some reward."

"The rules of your family are really strange..." Although it is a family of merchants, it wants to set such rules that seem to be inconsistent with identity. Qilin looked at Yili curiously.

"It is said that the ancestors who set this rule wanted their descendants to not fall into money's eyes when doing business. Although it sounds quite reasonable, setting such rules casually is a big problem for those who later come..." Yili complained to Qilin. "You think, people like favors cannot be measured by how much money, because with this rule, the people of the Gren family never dare to owe favors to others casually. For those with ulterior motives, even if the other party is out of kindness, they can only be accepted in the form of equivalent exchange, so they are often scolded as 'the guy with only money in their eyes', 'walking abacus', etc., which is really unbearable..."

"...so you showed that kind of forced appearance when I saved you?" Qilin asked with some insight.

"That's right." Yili rolled his eyes like a fish on the post board, and said in a tone of accepting his fate: "Anyway, because of this, I want to repay your life-saving kindness. You can ask for whatever you want... Of course, please don't let me hear jokes like fifty dollars again."

"Um..." Lin Lin withdrew his hand awkwardly, as if he was about to say this just now. "You don't have to go through a lot of trouble, that's just a slight effort."

"I said, your simple work saved my life? Or do you want to say that my life is only worth fifty yuan?" Yili insisted.

"Even if you say that, I don't really want anything..." Qilin frowned in confusion. "Let's do this, I'll tell you what I need to help in the future."

"Hey! If you say this, I will carry this favor debt for the rest of my life! At least I will give you a wish!"

"No one is like you, forcing others to make wishes!"

"Do you think I think? Who knows what was wrong with the ancestors of the Gran family? Setting that kind of ghost rule!"

"It's not my business, don't use your family's rules to cause trouble to others!"

"Don't say that, after all, I'm repaying my kindness, so you can cooperate?" Yili begged Qilin with a bitter face.

"Um..." Qilin pondered for a few seconds, and finally made a compromise opinion. "Then like this, just treat me to a meal, and then we will clear up."

"Eat a meal..." Yili looked at Qilin with a bite of the bitter gallbladder expression, then lowered her head as if frustrated, and murmured from his mouth like "It turns out that my life is only worth a meal", which made Qilin laugh and cry, and couldn't help but have a wonderful affection for the stubborn young man in white in front of him.

(It's really an interesting guy...) Qilin looked at Yili with an interesting gaze. Under his gaze, the young man from the Grayne Chamber of Commerce slowly raised his head. He seemed to have difficulty convinced himself to accept Qilin's opinion and looked at Qilin with an enlightened expression.

"I understand, then let's go."

“Where to go?”

"Go to my tavern." Yili turned around and said a place name to the coachman in front of him, and explained to Qilin. "It's on Fourth Avenue, you can get there in about ten minutes by carriage."

"Is that close?" Qilin suddenly showed an excited look and suggested. "Since that's the case, let's go. I haven't visited the streets of the royal capital yet."

………………………………………

At Qilin's insistence, Yili followed Qilin out of the carriage of the Gren Chamber of Commerce and wandered around the Second Avenue with him. Because Qilin and Nuoyin were riding together last time when they returned to the Duke's Mansion, they did not have the opportunity to carefully observe the surrounding shops. This time, with Yili, who was familiar with Wangdu Street, following him, Qilin could finally stop in front of the shops they were interested in. Anyway, it was still early, and Yili had no intention of urging him. After Qilin looked at several shops in a row, he turned around and showed a look of wanting to speak but stopping to Yili.

"Yili, your family... is indeed called the Grain Chamber of Commerce, right?"

"Well, that's right." Yili knew what Qilin was going to ask, and just pointed to a row of shops on the street. "The ones you just saw and the row opposite are all industries of the Gren Chamber of Commerce, which is run by my house."

"...What did your family buy?" Qilin recalled the shop he had just passed by, from needlework to swords, from bakeries to wineries, and seemed to have no focus on management.

"As long as it is something that can make money but is not illegal, the Gren Chamber of Commerce will buy everything... Well, even if it is illegal, the Gren Chamber of Commerce has a way to get it." This said Yili looked as smart as a son of a merchant. "So, if you want to buy things in the future, you can come to the Gren Chamber of Commerce. For the sake of our friendship, I will give you a 10% discount."

"Hey, hey, it's only 10% off, don't say it seems amazing." Qilin protested dissatisfiedly.

"What do you mean! You figure it out, if you have 10% off, it's equivalent to taking out a quarter of the profit!"

"...In other words, each item of your house has a profit of more than 60%?" Qilin simply calculated.

"Uh..." Yili stopped talking and said with awkward look. "So, this is what business is all about. This level of profit is actually very common... Then again, your arithmetic is good?"

"Well, the elders in the village taught me." Qilin nodded.

"Do you still teach this kind of thing in your 'village'?" Yili showed a look of surprise. Basically, only aristocratic children who manage the family business and businessmen who make a living will spend money to learn. Even in the prosperous capital, the probability of just grabbing someone out and writing their own names is less than one percent. In comparison, the "higher education" of Qilin's village has already been generally ranked in the "higher education" of arithmetic, which really shocked Yili.

"That's right..." Listening to Yili's explanation, Qilin scratched his head in confusion. "I thought it was normal to read and write, so isn't it?"

"Enough, enough, in fact, you can almost imagine how far your village is from common sense..." Yili shook his head with a wry smile.

Just as he was about to say something, a noisy sound suddenly sounded in the street behind them. Qilin looked back and saw a running carriage in the center of the chaos.

The carriage is made of precious mahogany, and the body is decorated with gorgeous decorations. Dozens of cavalry are gathered on both sides of the carriage, each riding tall horses. The cavalry chased the carriage and rushed on the crowded streets at extremely dangerous highways. Seeing them rushing towards them, people walking leisurely screamed and dodged in all directions as if they saw monsters. Many roadside stalls were knocked down, and the rolling fruits were trampled into meat mud under the horse's hooves. People's panic screams mixed with the arrogant and fierce sound of horse's hooves, forming a chaotic wave spreading on the streets.

"Is it from the Embrion family again..." Qilin in the distance looked at the ridiculous scene in front of him with a dazed look, and at the same time he heard Yili sigh helplessly.

"Embrion?" Qilin suddenly felt as if he had heard the name somewhere.

The carriage rushed on the street at high speed and rushed to the front of the two in the blink of an eye. Yili stared at the gemstone emblem on the carriage, while Qilin's eyes fell on the street in front of the carriage.

There was a pair of civilian mother and daughter who could not avoid it. The mother was probably stunned by the carriage that rushed over and was unable to move. The daughter was at a loss and stood there in a daze. The carriage was still more than 20 meters away from the mother and daughter. If the driver pulled the brakes in time, a tragedy could be avoided. However, the carriage not only had no sign of slowing down, but even the cavalry followed was divided into two strands and rushed in front of the carriage as if they wanted to cut off the mother and daughter's escape route. Their intentions were extremely vicious.

People who saw this scene roared in shock and anger, and many people turned their faces on the spot.
