Arafat Town was a normal town in the Falk Kingdom, it was located in the southeast part of the kingdom. Whether it was on the map or in reality, it was a very normal place.
If one went three hundred kilometers southwest from the town, they would reach the Drake Duchy that was next to the Falk Kingdom.
If one went five hundred kilometers north or six hundred kilometers northeast, they would enter one of the two empires of the continent, the Malor Empire.
If one went south, they would enter the Ansu Church's Duchy that was sandwiched between the Lampari Kingdom and the Falk Kingdom.
This kind of location wasn't strange at all and it couldn't be considered important at all.
So although Arafat Town had a history that was twice as long as the Falk Kingdom, it had always been unknown in the Sines for thousands of years. The people of the town had always lived their own lives.
However, this peaceful and ordinary life had changed a little five years ago.
Since the Frestech Chamber of Commerce signed the strategic partnership agreement with the Falk Kingdom five years ago, in these five years, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had led large amounts of magic machine companies to invest in the Falk Kingdom, building all kinds of factories in the Falk Kingdom.
Although Arafat Town didn't have any geographical advantages, so New Flyer didn't like this place and invested in it, as the Falk Kingdom began building roads, finally building a road to Arafat Town, a magic machine company from the Lampari Kingdom found this town and invested in building a household magic machine factory in the town.
There were only two kinds of products in this factory, one was the Magic Fan and the other was the Magic Stove. They could be considered low end products among household magic machines, but they suited the needs of Arafat Town and the surrounding area.
So this year, the factory's profits had been quite good.
Although the scale of this factory wasn't large, it still recruited more than 300 local workers from the town of Arafat, which greatly solved the work problem of the people in Arafat. Therefore, it was greatly welcomed and supported by the people around the town.
In private discussions, the people of the town were full of gratitude to the Lampari Kingdom's Sanctis Chamber of Commerce, who had invested in the construction of the factory.
If the Chamber of Commerce hadn't chosen Arafat to invest and build a factory, the people in the town would still be living a monotonous and poor life year after year, day after day, without any hope of change.
Kompany was one of them.
Originally, he was just a very ordinary civilian in the small town of Arafat. He could only rely on temporary jobs in various places, and at the same time, serve as a servant in a noble family to maintain his livelihood.
Although they wouldn't starve to death every year, they could only maintain the most basic living conditions. They couldn't dream of anything else.
But after the factory was established, Kompany applied to work in the factory and received a minimum wage of ten gold coins a month, as well as a series of benefits that were not particularly rich but could not be ignored. This caused his and his family's lives to undergo a tremendous change in an instant.
Now, although Kompany's family couldn't be as extravagant as those nobles and merchants, they no longer had to worry about the most basic needs of life. Even meat had reached the point where they could eat whenever they wanted.
In addition, he would save a sum of money to buy a household magic machine every once in a while, so he always felt that his current life was so comfortable that it was like living in a dream.
He sincerely hoped that this factory could continue to operate smoothly so that he and his family could continue to live such a comfortable and comfortable life.
Therefore, Kompany had always been the one who worked the hardest in the factory.
In addition to being praised by his supervisor, which made his job more stable, it was also because he could receive an extra two gold coins a month as a bonus.
Today was the day of the factory's monthly salary. According to the past practice, they would work for half a day in the morning, and after lunch, they would receive the previous month's salary. Then, they would have half a day off in the afternoon.
After lunch, a group of workers excitedly received their salaries, and a group of people clamored to go to the town's bar to have fun together.
However, when some familiar workmates came to invite Kompany, they were rejected by him.
"There are guests at home today, so I have to go back to receive them."
Seeing the disappointed looks of the workers around him, Kompany revealed a smile. He took out a gold coin from his money bag and put it in the hand of the worker he was the closest to.
"Although I can't go today, it's still the same as before. I've taken the bonus, so this gold coin is my treat."
Everyone looked at the gold coin in that person's hand and curled their lips, not saying anything else.
Kompany waved his hand to bid farewell to everyone. He left the factory on the outskirts and quickly headed back to his home in town.
Because the factory was on the outskirts of the town, it was four-five kilometers away. If he walked on foot, it would take him at least twenty minutes to get back.
Normally Kompany didn't care about this distance, he could even treat it as a leisurely stroll after work.
But because he knew that there were guests at home today, he couldn't help being a bit anxious. He quickly jogged the entire way and rushed back as fast as he could.
When he arrived at his home on the edge of the town, he was surprised to find that there was a Magic Sedan that was shining in the sun. It was slender and looked like a high class Magic Sedan that was parked in the open space in front of his house.
Including his youngest son Saye, there was a group of children walking around the Magic Sedan with curious looks on their faces.
Seeing that Saye was about to reach out his dirty little hand to touch the Magic Sedan, Kompany roared out.
"Stinky brat!
Put your hand down! "Kompany rushed over, grabbed Saye, and slapped him on the butt.
"Why don't you see what this thing is?
What if you break it? "
Saye pursed his lips, looking like he wanted to cry, but he didn't dare.
The other children scattered, but they didn't run far. They kept looking at the Magic Sedan with curious gazes.
It wasn't that the people of Arafat Town hadn't seen Magic Sedans before. The mayor, Viscount Resos, had one and the Santis Chamber of Commerce's chairman of the factory that Kompany worked in also had one. He would drive it here when he came to inspect.
But Viscount Resos' Magic Sedan rarely came out and rarely parked outside. The Santis Chamber of Commerce's chairman rarely came to Arafat Town, so there weren't many chances for people to see a Magic Sedan.
Now that there was a Magic Sedan parked in front of a normal family in the commoner's district, naturally there would be countless people looking over.
It wasn't just the children, there were also some adults around Kompany's house who were looking at the Magic Sedan in the distance. They were pointing at it and quite a few people had looks of envy on their faces.
Kompany looked at the people around him and thinking that there were guests at home, he didn't greet them as he walked to the door with Saye.
When he came to the door, there was a person who came out.
"Brother-in-law, let the children play if they like. The Magic Sedan isn't that easy to break."
Kompany looked over and found that this person was a young man who seemed to be in his early thirties.
He was wearing a light green suit made of material that was obviously not ordinary. He was also wearing a pair of leather boots that looked simple at first glance but were actually very cleverly designed. Just from his appearance alone, he seemed to be of a higher class than Viscount Risos, who had always paid attention to his appearance as a noble.
Kompany looked at this young man with a gentle smile who didn't seem like a commoner in surprise and he was very doubtful.
What did he just call him?
Brother-in-law?
While he was in a daze, a young girl came out of the door and revealed a sweet smile to Kompany.
"Brother-in-law, you're back."
After seeing this girl, Kompany finally reacted.
This girl was his wife's little sister Winnie. Kompany had known her for over ten years, so he was very familiar with her.
Since it was like this, then this young man … …
Seeing Kompany turn to look at the young man, Winnie took the young man's arm with a smile.
"Brother-in-law, let me introduce you, this is my husband Josiah.
Josiah, this is brother-in-law.
Brother-in-law and big sister have always been good to me, you have to treat them well. "
The young man named Josiah revealed a faint smile and gave Kompany a bow, "Hello brother-in-law, this is our first meeting. I am Winnie's husband Josiah, I come from the Lampari Kingdom's Banta City.
Winnie often mentions you and big sister to me, saying that she has never forgotten how you have taken care of her since she was young. "
Kompany quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, what are you saying?
Winnie is Millie's little sister, of course we have to take care of her. "
While he was saying this, Saye who had been in Kompany's hand the entire time couldn't take it anymore. He loudly said to Winnie, "Little aunt, dad hit me!"
Kompany glared at him and wanted to reprimand him, but Winnie had already taken Saye from his hand. She patted Saye's shoulder and said in a gentle voice, "Alright, dad is just afraid that you'll cause trouble.
Be good, come in, I just took out a lot of sweets. "
Hearing the words "sweets", Saye's eyes lit up. With a cheer, he charged into the room.
Kompany helplessly shook his head, "Winnie, you'll spoil the child like this."
"I only have him and Hawat, these two little nephews, it's natural for me to spoil them a bit." Winnie giggled before suddenly asking, "That's right, brother-in-law, where's Hawat?
He's already ten this year, right?
Have you thought of what to do with him? "
Kompany's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Josiah who had been smiling the entire time and pointed at the door, "We'll talk after we go in."
