"Oh, you know?" Johanna's answer obviously attracted Alvin's attention, and he asked with some suspicion. "Yeah, do you think it's weird?" Joanna said calmly. It's really strange. Even the Heinrich family, a local force in Demon Castle, has not yet been able to find out. How could Joanna, an outsider who arrived almost at the same time as Ivan, have the ability to find out the mastermind behind this? come out? If it is said that in the more than half a year since Ivan left, Johanna has been secretly investigating, so now she can get the answer before the Heinrich family, then Ivan will not believe it even more. Because this kind of undercurrent in the Lionheart Territory has always been hidden deep, but it has only begun to surface in recent months. Ollie actually controls the territory, and is only vaguely aware of it. How could Johanna be thousands of miles away and advance in advance? I knew it, and I investigated it and got the results. You know, in Alvin¡¯s impression, Joanna should have been busy selling weapons for more than half a year. Seeing that Alvin didn't speak, but looked acquiesced, Joanna said angrily and funny: "I'm not lying to you, I am indeed very sure who is the force against you, but in Before I say the name of this force, I must apologize to you, because you may have been implicated by me in this matter. " "I am implicated by you, how can I say this?" Ai Wen felt a little bad. premonition. "I suspect that the Andre family should be the ones dealing with you." Joanna shrugged: "As for the reason, it is very simple, because the territory of the Andre family also has a prosperous military industry. Before we appeared, the borders were Those demon lords are their big customers, but after we appeared, a considerable part of the share was lost from their hands to ours. " "Just like this, they don't need to use this method to deal with me. "Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. The Andre family would be angry about this, and Ivan could understand it, but it was a bit baffling for them to come to deal with him. "That's why I have to apologize!" Joanna sighed: "When I was gaining market share, I used some tricks. You know, I wanted to squeeze into a stable market. I had to break some old orders unspoken rules. Something like that" "Then they should deal with you too!" Ivan said still puzzled. "There's just no way to deal with me, so I can only deal with you. I'm afraid in their eyes, the Lionheart Territory is my biggest source of weapons. As long as they get rid of you, then the Lionheart Territory will be destroyed. My supply is gone. , naturally there is no threat to them," Joanna explained. "It sounds reasonable" Ivan was already seventy-eight percent convinced at this moment, but he still raised a question: "But I still can't believe it. Why does the Andre family feel that they can't deal with you, but it's me? Easier to deal with? ""My own strength is not that good, but you forgot. Who is behind me?" Joanna smiled. "Tsk, what kind of ecstasy did you give those old immortals, and they actually supported you like this!" Ivan said helplessly. The three undead giants from the Death Cave, whether it is the rotten dragon Syndra or the black lich Sax, who was shocked when they first met, their strength is no longer unattainable in the eyes of Ivan today, but The most mysterious giant among them is Orcus, whose strength Ivan has never seen before. But thinking about it, since he can defeat the other two undead giants, his strength must have reached the sixth level. With these three people supporting Joanna, unless the Andre family is a seventh-level professional, there will definitely be no way to defeat her. From the perspective of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, the Andre family cannot deal with Joanna. But if he was unwilling to do so, he would turn to vent his anger on Alvin and Lion Heart Leader, which seemed to make sense. Furthermore, use a large number of alchemical bombs to create traps to assassinate enemies. This method is inconsistent with the mainstream assassination style in the world. On the contrary, it has a strong overtone of arms dealers. According to Joanna, the Andre family is a family with outstanding military industry in the territory, such as alchemy bombs and alchemy arrows. , thinking about it, there is no shortage. When several conditions are combined, the suspicion of the Andre family becomes higher and higher. What¡¯s a bit troublesome is that if the Andre family takes action against Ivan because Joanna has greatly harmed their interests, rather than because the Fire Claws and others actively send people to collude with them and want to cause trouble, then the future will come from Andre. Attacks on the family may continue to occur. "Andre family?" Ivan thought silently for a while, and finally nodded: "They are indeed very suspicious. Thank you for providing this information. I will send someone to confirm it!" "You're welcome, if you I really want to thank my?, it¡¯s not like there¡¯s no chance - I heard that a new magical armor appeared in your territory? "Josanna said with a smile. "Hey, this kind of armor has just been finished. Why are you targeting it? Didn't you come back specifically to attend my wedding? "Ivan said half jokingly, half depressed. "Josanna's face changed slightly, then she shook her head with a straight face: "Of course not, I came back specifically to discuss the new armor business with you, and I just attended your wedding by the way. ! " After saying that, Josanna could no longer maintain her expression and laughed out loud at Alvin's helpless expression. Josanna had already made it clear that the reason why the Andre family was hostile to the Lion-Hearted Leader was because the Lion-Hearted Leader provided her with a large amount of Because of weapons and equipment, she is still asking for more new equipment. I always feel that she is adding fuel to the fire by doing so, but Ivan also believes that since Joanna will take the initiative to make this request, she should also solve this problem. Solution. Under Alvin's gaze, Joanna finally said: "Don't worry, I've thought about it. If you were attacked because of me, then the best way to solve this problem is not to interrupt contact with you, but to Expand the supply sources of weapons and dilute your share in my supply system. Only in this way will you and your Lionheart Leader be truly safe. " "I have already made arrangements for this matter before I came here. However, those standard weapons and equipment can be purchased from other territories, and I can even arrange for craftsmen to make them myself. But the new crossbows are different from the ones you have newly developed. You must provide me with armor. I am going to rely on these two pieces of equipment to make a living! " "I can promise you, but you should prepare a sum of money. If something happens to my territory in the future because of you, just pay this money to me! "Ai Wen thought for a moment, nodded and agreed, and then said jokingly. "Since we have worked hard to develop and manufacture weapons, we are naturally prepared to sell them to the outside world. We can't just kill your whole family because of threats from peers. If we make weapons again, Just be so scared that you give up! With this joke, the slightly stiff atmosphere between Johanna and Alvin finally loosened. After finishing the business matters in a few words, at Johanna¡¯s strong request, Alvin began to talk. After blurring out some of the more serious things, Ivan recounted his experiences one by one. Probably because the audience was a beautiful woman, Ivan's lecture lasted more than two hours. , after he finished speaking, he realized that his mouth was dry. He quickly picked up the tea cup on the table and poured several sips of hot tea into his mouth. Only then did he feel that his throat felt better. Curious people, and few people in the Lion Heart Circle are qualified to let Alvin tell his own experience. Therefore, Alvin has discovered for the first time that what he thought was an ordinary sea experience is not boring, even if there are many inconveniences. The experience was deleted, and the remaining content is still comparable to a big adventure. Regarding Ivan¡¯s sea experience, especially the huge floating island that is said to have many wonderful goods, and the north coast where transportation is inconvenient, Johanna. Listening to it, my heart yearned for it, and my eyes blinked, almost turning into the shape of gold coins. It¡¯s a pity that the floating island can only be encountered but cannot be found. Even if it is really encountered, I don¡¯t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. As for going to the north coast to do business, one round trip, including the time for purchasing and selling goods, would take roughly half a year. For Joanna, who had already initially laid down a foundation on the south coast, it was not worth it and could only be regarded as a lure. It¡¯s just human pie. After sighing with regret, Joanna began to tell Alvin about her experiences in the past six months. Compared with Alvin¡¯s seemingly colorful sea adventures, her experiences were not much to mention. Most of them were trivial matters such as various banquets, transactions, and cargo handovers. They were boring and lacked passion, but they gradually consolidated the foundation of her power on the eastern border. After listening to Joanna's story, compared with the other two, Ivan felt that it was more important than anything else. He and Joanna suddenly understood how they felt when they first met. No wonder Alvin felt that a long time had passed when he saw Joanna, but Joanna felt that this period of time was not too long, because the large number of adventures was tantamount to disguise. It prolonged Alvin's life, but Joanna's boring and monotonous life blurred the passage of time. When comparing the two, there was a natural feeling that the passage of time was unequal. With emotion, the two continued to chat for a while. Seeing that his stay was not short, Alvin finally stood up, said goodbye and was about to leave. ¡°Wait, are you leaving so soon? "Josanna said with some lingering thoughts. "Then what else do you have to do? "Ai Wen said strangely. "Uh, no, I was thinking, Diandian hasn't seen his wife for a long time, you??Take him away together! " "OK! "Ivan didn't think Diandian would be happy to see Shar now, but he still took Diandian from Johanna's hand and walked out of the room again. "Wait! " "Um? "Aiwen turned around in confusion. "Congratulations! "Josanna bit her lip and finally whispered.
