Mage Joan

Chapter 490: Davis's troubles (Ⅰ)

Joan listened to the frost giant Clark Heinel about his dealings with the Davis family. Can not help but have a doubt, hesitated before asking him:

"Mr. Heiner, you are the first frost giant I have ever come across in real life, but your words and deeds are completely out of line with the descriptions of frost giants I have seen in the book, neither Barbaric, not evil."

"To be honest, if you turn back three years, I was once a barbaric and evil guy who was more brutal and evil than the frost giants you learned from books, but that was all a thing of the past."

"Brother Joan, people will always grow up. I experienced some things during my trip to the Far East of the Old Continent two years ago and were deeply touched. Since then I have decided to make some changes..."

Clark Heiner's smile revealed a bitter taste, as if he was caught in memory, and his eyes became very sad.

After sighing for a long time, he sighed, and then said to Joan: "No one in the world was born voluntarily. We can't choose our origin and growth environment. When we are young and ignorant, we are inevitably affected by the environment and unconsciously. Some vices are contaminated, but this does not prevent us from making introspections and trying to be a better person."

Clark's emotions reminded Joan of his life.

Just as Clark did not voluntarily reincarnate as a frost giant, he was also implanted into the "strange bloodline" under completely passive circumstances.

In order to overcome the brutal nature of the Frost Giants, Clark made a lot of efforts and tried to get along with humans. However, when he walked into the human towns, he was still unavoidably blinded and discriminated.

Joan also made a lot of efforts to overcome the lonely and surly nature that originated from the strange bloodline. He endured the disgust to participate in social activities, made friends with his scalp, and tried his best to avoid becoming a strange and dehumanized monster.

The similar mental journey has shortened the distance between him and Clark, making him feel that this big friend who met by chance on the journey deserves to make a sincere friendship.

Alan bounced to lead the way, climbed the stairs, stopped outside the study door on the second floor, and turned back to beckon Joan and Clark to follow.

Clark knocked on the door and an old voice came from the room.

"Come in!"

Joan heard anger in the old man's voice, frowned slightly, and followed Clark into the house.

An old man in an old military uniform was arranging firearms in front of his desk. His temples were already pale and his waist was straight. It was vaguely visible when he was a cavalry officer when he was young.

"Dad, long time no see, how are you doing?" Clark greeted with a smile.

"Clark, my boy, welcome home."

Old Man Gordon Davis put the magic crystal shotgun in his hand on the table, wiped the gun oil on his hand with a handkerchief, strode up to hug the Frost Giant, and then shook hands with Joan, looking very Gentlemanly.

"Sit down, boys, Minna will bring black tea and snacks right away. By the way, if you are allergic to lawyers, it is best not to be near that armchair."

Clark looked at the armchair by the fireplace and asked the old man Gordon in surprise: "Daddy, Aunt Minna just said that you were talking to a lawyer. Doesn't it sound like you were having a good time?"

"In these **** years, the lawyers have become profitable too! I asked him to consult a business dispute, but he was good. When I heard that I wanted to sue Henry Baldwin, I immediately changed my face and didn’t bother. It’s okay to figure out how to help me win the lawsuit, and still speak for Baldwin in a different way, as if the person who consulted him is not me, but Henry Baldwin!"

The old man snorted coldly, his face angered.

"Clark, I bet that our respectable lawyer, as soon as he walked out of our door, got on his carriage, and flew straight to the Henry Baldwin family to ventilate and report! Bah! Eat dogs inside and out!"

"Dad, let's get rid of it first and tell us what happened." Clark comforted patting Gordon's shoulder.

It happened that Mrs. Minna brought refreshments, and Gordon Davis did not want her wife to see her gaffe, lest she be frightened, so she calmly greeted Clark and Joan for tea and snacks, and asked Joan’s Origins. Knowing that he is a talented student at Leiden College, he has added a little respect to his attitude.

Joan saw that the old man was interested in keeping himself in his family for a few more days, and helped his little grandson Alan Davis to make up a make-up class to ensure that he could successfully pass the Leiden College prep exam next year.

Joan had a good impression of the Davis family. Unfortunately, he was eager to go to Meadgard and was inconvenienced to stay in Haus town for a long time, which only disappointed the old man.

Mrs. Minna told the old man to remember to take the medicine on time, rest early, and then leave the study.

Gordon Davis closed the door and turned back to the topic.

"This matter has to start from last spring, Clark. Shortly after you left the town of Haus, the old man Pim died. His son and daughter-in-law have decided to move to the city to settle down. The ranch is listed for sale."

The old man turned his head to look at Joan, and specifically explained to him a few more sentences.

“The Pim family has been running ranch for generations, and the number of horses it raises is second only to my family. It is the second largest rancher in the town.”

"Our Davis and Pim family, although they are competitors in the business field, but after all, they have been folks for many years, and the relationship has been pretty good."

"I heard that Xiao Pim was going to sell the ranch, so I talked to him and planned to buy the pasture. Unfortunately, Xiao Pim had a too high price and didn't agree to credit. I couldn't make up so much cash for a while. This matter is put down."

"Later, about a week later, I suddenly got the news that the Pim family’s ranch had been sold. The seller was a foreigner named Henry Baldwin, who was under 40 years old and shot quite The generous, uncompromising acceptance of the price code issued by Little Pim, on the spot, a cheque of 50,000 gold Durga was issued on the spot, and the endorsement of the largest trading firm in Princes Harbour was guaranteed. Pay at the sight!"

Old Gordon's face was somber.

"Oh! This Baldwin is really generous! He is young and unlikely to save such a huge sum of money with his own ability. Wouldn't it be the heir to the heritage of a big man in the city?" Clark wondered. ask.

"I am very familiar with the high society of Princes Harbor. There is no noble person named "Baldwin". This Henry Baldwin is very mysterious. I have no way of knowing his origins, but an old friend revealed to me privately, Baldwin and General Isaac Hook are very close, and the relationship is unusually close."

Old Gordon lowered his voice and answered.
