Volume 7 Our Goal Is the Stars and Seas Chapter 1 Brother-in-Law

The small town of Arafat is an ordinary town in the Kingdom of Falk. It is located in the southeast part of the Kingdom. It is a very inconspicuous place both on the map and in reality.

If you travel about 300 kilometers southwest from the small town, you can arrive at the Principality of Drake, which is adjacent to the Falk Kingdom.

If you go straight north for about 500 kilometers, or if you go northeast for more than 600 kilometers, you can enter the Maro Empire, one of the two largest empires in the mainland.

If you go straight to the south, you will enter the Duchy of Ansu Church, which is just sandwiched between the Lampari Kingdom and the Falk Kingdom.

Naturally, such a geographical location is not surprising in any way, and it cannot be said to be of any importance at all.

Therefore, although the history of the small town of Arafat is even twice as long as that of the Falk Kingdom, it has been unknown on the continent of Sainz for thousands of years, and the people in the town have been living peacefully. their own lives.

However, this peaceful and ordinary life changed a little five years ago.

Since the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and Falk Kingdom signed a strategic partnership agreement five years ago, within the past five years, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has led a large number of other magic machinery chambers of commerce to enter the Falk Kingdom for investment and construction. All kinds of factories were built in various places.

Although the town of Arafat does not have any geographical advantages, so that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce did not take a fancy to it and invest here, but as the Falk Kingdom began to build roads, a road was finally built to Arafah After the arrival of Special Town, a magic machinery merchant association from the Kingdom of Lampari discovered the town. And invested in the small town to build a household magic machinery factory.

There are only two kinds of products in this factory. One is the magic fan. The other is the magic stove, which can be regarded as a relatively low-end and simple product among household magic machines, but it is just right for the needs of the small town of Arafat and the surrounding areas.

So this year, the factory has been doing well.

Moreover, although the scale of this factory is not large, it still recruited more than 300 workers in the small town of Arafat, which greatly solved the job problems of the people in the small town of Arafat, so it was well received by people around the town. Great welcome and support.

When discussing privately, people in the town are very grateful to the Lampari Kingdom Santis Chamber of Commerce for investing in the construction of this factory.

If it weren't for this chamber of commerce, it would have chosen the small town of Arafat to invest and build a factory. People in the small town may still be able to live the monotonous and poor life of the past year after year, day after day, without any hope of change.

Among these people, Kompany is one of them.

Originally, he was just a very ordinary civilian in the small town of Arafat. He could only rely on part-time jobs in various places and serve as a servant in noble families to maintain his life.

Although I don't starve to death every year, I can only maintain the most basic life, and I can't hope for any other life pursuits.

But after the factory was established, Kompany applied to work in the factory, and received a minimum salary of ten gold coins per month, as well as a series of things that were not particularly rich. However, the corresponding remuneration and benefits that cannot be ignored have made the lives of him and his family undergone tremendous changes in an instant.

Although Kompany's family can't be as luxurious as those nobles and businessmen now. But he no longer has to worry about the most basic needs of life, and even meat has reached the point where he can eat whatever he wants.

Coupled with saving a sum of money to buy a household magic machine every once in a while, he always feels that his current life is as comfortable as living in a dream.

He sincerely hopes that the factory can continue to operate smoothly so that he and his family can live a comfortable and comfortable life like this.

So in the factory work, Kompany has always been the one who works the hardest.

In addition to being praised by the supervisor, which made his job more stable, he was also able to get the bonus of two extra gold coins every month.

Today is the day when the factory pays wages every month. According to the past practice, workers will work for half a day in the morning, and after lunch at noon, they will be paid the wages of the previous month, and then they will have a half-day off in the afternoon.

After lunch, a group of workers excitedly took their wages, and a group of people clamored to go to the bar in the town together to have a good time.

However, when some familiar workers came to invite Kompany, he refused.

"I have guests at home today, and I have to go back to receive them." Seeing the disappointed expressions of the workers around him, Kompany smiled, took out a gold coin from the money bag containing his wages, and stuffed it in the place with the best relationship with him. In the hands of a worker. "Although I can't go today, but the old rules, I got a bonus, this gold coin is my treat."

Everyone looked at the gold coin in the man's hand, curled their lips, and said nothing more.

Kompany then waved goodbye to everyone, left the factory in the suburbs, and hurried towards his home in the town.

Because the factory was set up on the outskirts of the town, it was four or five kilometers away from the town. It would take twenty minutes at the fastest to walk with just two feet.

Usually, Kompany doesn't care much about this distance, and it can even be regarded as a leisurely walk after work.

But today, because he knew that there were guests coming at home, he couldn't help being a little impatient, so he walked and trotted all the way back as fast as he could.

When he felt that he was in front of his home on the edge of the town, he was surprised to find a slender, high-end magic car that was shining black in the sun, just parked in the open space in front of his home.

A group of children, including his youngest son Saye, are turning around the magic car with curious faces.

Seeing that Sayer was about to reach out his dirty little hand to touch the magic car, Kompany immediately roared.

"Brat! Put your hands down!" Kompany rushed over to pick up Saye, and slapped him on the ass. "Don't you look at what this is? What if you touch it?"

Saye flattened her mouth, looking like she wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry.

The other children rushed away, but they didn't run far away, still looking at the magic car with curious eyes from a distance.

It’s not that people in the small town of Arafat have never seen magic cars. The mayor, Viscount Rexos, owns one, and the president of the Santis Chamber of Commerce, which belongs to the factory where Kompany works, also owns one. He occasionally comes to It will come when you inspect here.

But the magic car of Viscount Rexos rarely drives out, and it is even more rarely parked outside, and the president of the Santis Chamber of Commerce rarely comes to the small town of Arafat, so in fact people can see There aren't many opportunities for a magic sedan.

Now there is a magic car parked so generously outside an ordinary family in a civilian area, it will naturally attract countless people to watch.

Not only those children, there are also some adults around Kompany's house looking at this magic car from a distance, pointing at it, and many of them are envious.

Kompany glanced at the circle of people around him, thinking that there were still guests at home, so he didn't go to greet them, and walked towards the door with Saye.

Just as I walked to the gate, a person came out from inside.

"Brother-in-law, let the children play if they like to play. The magic car is not so easy to break."

Kompany took a closer look and found that this person was a young man in his early thirties.

He was wearing a well-tailored light blue suit whose fabric was not ordinary at first glance. He was wearing a pair of leather boots that looked simple at first glance but were actually very ingeniously designed. Viscount Rexos, who has always paid attention to aristocratic appearance, is even more high-end.

Kompany looked at this young man with a gentle smile on his face who definitely shouldn't be a commoner, feeling very puzzled.

What did he call himself just now? Brother-in-law?

While he was in a daze, a young girl came out from behind the gate and gave Kongpani a sweet smile.

"Brother-in-law, you are back."

After seeing this girl, Kompany reacted.

This girl is his wife's own sister, Winnie. Kompany has known her for more than ten years, and she is very familiar with her.

Since this is the case, then this young man...

Seeing that Kompany turned his head to look at the young man again, Winnie smiled and took the young man's arm.

"Brother-in-law, let me introduce you. This is my husband, Joshua. Joshua, this is my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law and sister have always treated me very well. You should treat them well."

The young man named Joshuan smiled slightly and bowed slightly to Kompany: "Hello, brother-in-law, this is the first time we meet. I am Winnie's husband, Joshuane, from Bangta City, Kingdom of Lampari. Winnie She often mentioned you and my sister to me, and said that she has never forgotten that she has been taken care of by you since she was a child."

Kompany waved his hand quickly: "No, no, no, what's the point of this. Winnie is Millie's sister, of course we have to take good care of her."

While talking, Saye, who had been held by Kompany all the time, quit. He shouted to Winnie, "Auntie, Dad hit me!"

Kompany's eyes widened, and he was about to reprimand, but Winnie had already hugged Saye from his hand, patted Saye's shoulder and said softly: "Okay, Dad is also afraid that you will get into trouble. Be good, come in." Go inside, I just took out a lot of snacks and candies."

As soon as he heard "Dim Sum Candy", Saye's eyes lit up immediately, and with a cheer, he rushed into the house.

Kompany shook his head helplessly: "Winnie, you will spoil children like this."

"I only have two little nephews, he and Hawat. Even if I get used to it, it's only natural." Winnie giggled, and then asked suddenly: "By the way, brother-in-law, where is Hawat? He has ten years of age this year. Are you old? Have you thought about how to arrange him?"

Kompany's heart moved, he looked at Joshua, who was smiling all the time, and pointed to the door: "Let's go in." (To be continued..)
