Inside the manor, an attendant brought in a cup of tea and stood in front of the door of the study, gently knocking on the door.
Hearing the knock, the woman subconsciously glanced at the black-haired youth in front of the bookshelf, then said calmly, "No need, you can leave."
After the attendant respectfully responded outside the door, he turned around and left.
He's probably gone far … The woman then turned sideways to size up the black-haired youth who barged into her study.
"Are you the shop's emissary?" The woman asked in silence, then said, "Or … are you above the emissary?"
Boss Luo also sized up the woman.
People with power, regardless of gender, had no problem pursuing youth … The woman maintained her appearance in the best years of a woman's life, and there was even a trace of dignity in her luxurious appearance.
She was a woman.
"There's someone above the emissary?" Boss Luo was curious.
The woman said indifferently, "Isn't that Miss Eleanor above the emissary? I heard that she manages all the emissaries."
Boss Luo smiled and said, "Why not the shop owner?"
"I've seen the shop owner." The woman said calmly, "You're not him … Besides, even if he's the shop owner, wouldn't he feel that he's lowering his status by coming here personally?"
Boss Luo was even more curious. He blinked and asked, "What does the shop owner have to do to not be considered lowering his status?"
The woman sneered and said, "That guy lives behind the scenes and controls everyone. It's not that he wants to see anyone, but that people do everything they can to see him, but are afraid to see him. That guy is such an arrogant and reclusive guy. "
Luo Qiu was surprised by the woman's description of the former shop owner.
"Your Majesty seems to be very familiar with our shop owner."
"Not really. We've had a few business dealings, that's all." The woman shook her head, then said, "Also, call me Miss Sophia, I'm no longer Your Majesty."
Boss Luo nodded smoothly.
"The person who appeared at the summit meeting that day was you, right?" The woman … Miss Sophia suddenly said, "Who's the other woman? I don't think it's Eleanor. It's more like one of my creations. "
"That lady's current body was indeed created by Miss Sophia." Boss Luo nodded.
"I think so too." Miss Sophia was silent for a while. "Although I don't know what kind of soul is in its body now, at least it doesn't seem to have been humiliated."
Boss Luo said, "Miss Sophia seems to care a lot about her work."
Miss Sophia said casually, "If it's not my favorite thing, how could your shop owner take a fancy to it? Even after a few hundred years, my attainments in alchemy have long surpassed the past, but to this day, I still can't replicate the same … it. I think I didn't just hand over a puppet. "
Boss Luo thought for a moment and said, "Miss Sophia, do you want to meet her?"
"No need." Sophia said indifferently, "It no longer belongs to me. Whether I see it or not, it makes no difference … Tell me why you're here."
Boss Luo smiled and said, "Miss Sophia, what do you think I'm here for?"
Sophia thought for a moment and said, "This time, your shop owner appeared in front of the world in such a high-profile manner and even sent the two of you to show your divinity in front of people. I'm afraid it's not as simple as just to make a few more transactions."
Boss Luo blinked and didn't say anything.
This should be a kind of preconceived notion.
The change of shop owner had indeed never been officially announced. Boss Luo hadn't been in office for a long time. For those customers from hundreds of years ago, or even longer ago, they didn't have the means to know about the change of shop owner.
Emmm … So, I really don't have the style of a shop owner?
Luoqiu didn't really care about this kind of thing.
If Sophia only thought of him as a Black Soul Envoy, perhaps the conversation would be more interesting.
"A hundred years ago, you already made a move." Sophia muttered, "That war caused the extraordinary power of Europe to fall to the bottom. It's because of this that the [Club] has more room for development. Speaking of which, the [Club] should thank you … Then, this announcement to the world is for another [Harvest], right? Just like the war a hundred years ago, right? "
"Let's assume that this assumption is true." Boss Luo said calmly, "Then, Miss Sophia, don't you plan to buy some insurance in this chaotic world?"
"As expected!"
Sophia suddenly sneered. Her thoughts seemed to have opened up and become incomparably clear. She muttered to herself, "The appearance of the [Black Card] will definitely become the source of disaster in the future. No matter who gets the 99 [Black Cards] in the end and steps into the shop with the card, he will definitely be the winner and the most outstanding person. For you, he will also be the best customer. "
"I don't deny this statement." Boss Luo nodded and then said, "Miss Sophia, do you really not plan to buy insurance? As a regular customer, I might be able to give you some discounts. "
Sophia looked at Boss Luo expressionlessly and said calmly, "As an emissary, your level of speaking skills is not up to standard. Don't keep promoting to customers. You should take out something to stimulate customers' desire to buy."
"Sorry for the lack of manners." Boss Luo nodded and made an expression of listening.
Sophia leaned back on the chair and felt that she was gradually leading this conversation. She casually asked, "Tell me, sir, why are you here this time?"
"There's no special purpose." Boss Luo thought for a while and said, "I just want to take a look at the [New World Alliance]."
"Take a look at what?" Sophia subconsciously frowned.
Could it be that the shop had other opinions about the appearance of the [New World Alliance]? The thoughts of the shop owner behind the scenes … could not be understood at all.
Boss Luo said, "Can I know the purpose of the [New World Alliance]?"
Sophia's mouth opened slightly in surprise and then she sneered, "I thought that nothing could be hidden from you."
Boss Luo said, "I'm not like the old shop owner who likes to see everything."
"You're a bit special." Sophia was slightly surprised. "I've seen many Black Soul Emissaries, but I've never seen anyone like you who doesn't treat your shop owner as anything. Most of the emissaries are very careful and will not expose themselves like you. Perhaps it's because of your uniqueness that your shop owner allowed you to show your divinity in front of others. "
Boss Luo did not deny it and smiled.
Sophia said, "There's no problem in telling you the purpose of the [New World Alliance], but can I treat this as a transaction? I sell, you buy … what price are you offering? "
"What does Miss Sophia think is reasonable?" Boss Luo asked back.
"Now, you look a bit like a Black Soul Emissary." Sophia nodded and said, "I'll tell you the [New World Alliance] … or the [Club]'s plan. At the same time, you have to answer a question of mine. What do you think? "
"I want to know this question first," Boss Luo said directly.
Sophia also said directly, "Is [The Fool] dead or not?"
"Miss Sophia, the [The Fool] you know is indeed dead," Boss Luo thought for a while and said, "But it's true that [The Fool] is not dead."
Sophia's light golden eyebrows slightly furrowed as she lowered her head and muttered to herself, "In other words, there's a new one …"
After a while, she nodded and said, "This answer is not ideal, but it's enough … Listen carefully, the [Club] formed the [New World Alliance] and gathered a large number of Transcendents. Their current purpose is to establish the [Transcendents]'s ruling position in the modern world. Some of them think that in this world, they can directly step into the Transcendents' civilization and open the door to a new world … This is also the origin of the [New World Alliance]."
"Their current purpose?" Boss Luo thought for a while and said, "Then what was their previous purpose?"
Sophia looked at Boss Luo in surprise and said calmly, "Their previous purpose is not important anymore. After all, [The Fool] is dead. Now, there are two guys who are very active in the [Club]. One is the [Sun Seat], and the other is the [Moon Seat]. After [The Fool]'s death was confirmed, these two guys have the intention to join forces and take over the [Club]. "
Luoqiu said, "There are many seats in the [Club] … Other than Miss Sophia, do the others have the same opinion?"
Sophia said calmly, "I didn't say that I have the same opinion, nor did I agree, cunning brat."
Boss Luo did not reply that he was not a brat. Instead, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your answer, Miss Sophia."
Sofia hummed in acknowledgment.
She really thought that the young man in front of her was just a special [Black Soul Envoy]. She did not think that he was a [Shop Owner].
The owner of the shop she knew was arrogant and unsociable. He exuded a sense of loneliness from head to toe … He was the kind of guy who had no interest in anything else.
As for the young man in front of her, although he showed his power in the summit meeting, he probably borrowed the power of the shop where he lived … If any [Black Soul Envoy] could suppress all the supernatural powers in the world, then they would have nothing to do with it.
Everyone could go and play with their eggs. Don't cultivate anymore. Just be a pig.
That was why she was so casual. She did not think that the young man was superior to others. She was even a little arrogant … After all, she used to do business directly with the owner of the shop, and the [Black Soul Envoy] was just an employee of the shop owner.
Of course, the young Black Soul Envoy's attitude made Sophia quite satisfied … This was what a waiter should be like.
"Sit down. Don't keep standing." Ms. Sophia waved her hand at this moment and said, "Don't be scolded by your shop owner when I have the chance to meet him in the future."
"You're welcome." Boss Luo smiled faintly, "I'm leaving."
Sophia was surprised, "Now?"
Boss Luo said, "Before coming here, I've already walked around. At first, I just wanted to take a look. After that, it's time to leave. "
Sophia really wanted to ask the young Black Soul Envoy: You're not here to sell to me? Do you still want to do business? I'll definitely reject you, but you can't just follow the routine, right?
I'm Catherine the Great. How can I not care about my reputation?
"Is there a problem?" Boss Luo smiled and asked.
"… No." Sophia shook her head and said indifferently, "I won't send you off."
"Sorry to disturb you." Boss Luo put the book back on the bookshelf and was about to leave.
"Wait."
Sophia suddenly shouted for him to stop.
Then, under Boss Luo's astonished gaze, Sophia stretched out her palm … A cube that looked like a Rubik's cube slowly floated out.
The cube started to separate, combine, and fold … Its volume also gradually increased. In the end, it even became a cupboard the size of a bedside table.
Sophia pulled out a drawer and said indifferently, "Since you're already here, bring this thing back to your shop owner."
"These are …" Boss Luo was stunned. He was very familiar with the things that Sophia took out.
"There are some replacement parts here." Sophia waved her hand and items started to fly in front of Boss Luo, "There are also some materials for the maintenance of the Puppet Dolls. I'll send out a set about every 100 years … Your inventory should be almost used up. Take it back. Consider this 100 years' worth of supplies given to you. "
Boss Luo thought for a while and said, "I've seen some of Miss Sophia's transaction records … The records don't seem to indicate that Miss Sophia has the obligation to continue providing these parts and materials."
Sophia snorted lightly and picked up a feather pen from the table, "What I do is not for a small messenger like you to judge … Leave, I'm going to draw the alchemy blueprint."
Looking at the parts and materials in his hands, Boss Luo suddenly asked, "Miss Sophia, if I give you a chance, would you be willing to buy back your work?"
Her gaze moved slightly and she looked up without answering.
"Sorry to disturb you."
Finally, Boss Luo said goodbye softly.
…
The feather pen spun lightly on Sophia's fingers … The blueprint on the table was still blank.
"Just looking around?" Sophia sneered and muttered to herself, "I can't believe what you're saying. I don't know what you're planning."
"It's just that [The Fool] …"
While muttering to herself, Sophia opened the drawer beside her and took out a white mask with a unique pattern. She put it on her face. At the same time, a screen was lowered from the wall of the study room.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a silver-white uniform appeared on the screen.
The man said respectfully, "Your Excellency [The Empress's Seat], what can I do for you?"
Sophia said indifferently, "It's too noisy outside. It's disturbing my work. Ask the people outside to be quiet."
"As you wish, Your Excellency," the man said quickly, "I'll immediately inform the patrolling troops near your manor."
"One more thing." Sophia said again, "Tell [The Sun] and [The Moon] that I don't intend to agree with them … Leave."
The man's expression changed slightly, but he did not say anything. Instead, he responded respectfully.
Sophia turned off the screen directly.
Suddenly, Sophia frowned, "This guy … Did he deliberately reveal information about [The Fool] to me?"
…
…
When Boss Luo returned home, he saw such a scene.
A certain witch from another world's academy was now … washing the dishes under the supervision of Miss Maid.
She said that it was training for newcomers.
— — I, Nan Xiaonan, have never washed dishes since I mastered the Star Creation technique?!!
— — This is bullying!!
"Boss, you're back! I'll get you some tea! "
