Lord of the Black Mist: Begin with Infinite Activation

Chapter 68 068. Reasons
In the Nordborg restaurant, a sumptuous dinner has just ended.

The servants quickly removed the empty plates, and brought tea and fruit again.

Renault put down the napkin in his hand, and said to Kelly: "Please don't mind, Baron Kelly, I have a question that I really can't help but want to ask you."

Kelly nodded, "Please tell me."

"Why are your servant's eyes red?"

After finishing speaking, Renault quickly added, "I'm not malicious, it just looks a little scary."

When Onife heard this question, she immediately put the barbecue back on the plate, and looked at Kelly curiously.

"Oh, this, they are gluttonous and allergic."

Kelly said with a smile.

Before she came, Allen had already guessed that Renault would ask this question, so he thought of the reason early.

"On our island, there is a kind of red fruit called cherries. It is full of juice and has a very sweet and sour taste. It is loved by many people."

Kelly continued to explain: "It's just that most people will be allergic after eating it, and their eyes will become bloodshot and red. Fortunately, there is no other problem. If it is red, it will be red."

"That's right, if it's just the eyes turning red, you can try this kind of cherries."

Lei Nuo nodded slightly, and asked again: "But why have I never heard of this kind of red fruit?"

"Because this kind of fruit is poisonous after all, it cannot be used to entertain guests unless they request it."

Kelly said with a smile: "And it can't be stored for a long time, and it can't be transported by sea, otherwise eating this cherries will pay an expensive price."

"What price?" Onifu asked beside her.

"Too expensive."

Kelly replied solemnly: "Storing for a long time will make it highly poisonous, and you will lose your life if you eat it once.

However, if the Baron and Mrs. Renault are interested, they can try it on our island. "

"Hahaha, yes, if you have a chance, you must go to Black Reef Island and try cherries."

Renault smiled brightly.

"You are very welcome. The Harvey family will definitely treat you and your wife well." Kelly echoed with a smile.

"sure."

The curiosity in his heart was satisfied, and Renault was extremely happy, and together with Offife, he toasted Kelly frequently.

After another chatter, Renault asked: "With all due respect, Baron Kelly, you didn't bring many soldiers or goods, but you came with two ships. They should be here to purchase supplies, right?"

"You are right, Baron Renault."

Kelly had a difficult expression on her face, and sighed slightly sadly.

"To tell you the truth, there have been some changes on the Black Reef Island. Now we are not only short of various supplies, but also short of people."

Then Kelly told Renault what happened to the Harvey family.

Of course, she wasn't completely lying—at least the fact that her two brothers were competing for the title was real, and so was the grief that her father had been killed.

It's just that Kelly changed the ending. The two brothers died and the other was disabled in the battle. In the end, she had to inherit the family title.

"Hey, there are some things that no one wants to see, but there is nothing you can do about it."

After listening to the story, Renault's expression was not good, and he turned his head to look at Onife on the left, his eyes were full of tenderness,

"If I hadn't had Onife by my side, I'm afraid Nord Island would also have a disaster."

However, Onifu did not raise her head to meet Renault's gaze, but lowered her head and concentrated on dealing with the steak on her plate.

The lady was a big eater, and Kelly remembered that this was the eighth steak she had eaten tonight, each one as big as a palm.

Renault seemed to be used to this situation, and he was not embarrassed by Offife's ignorance.

He looked at Kelly very naturally, and said very straightforwardly: "Tell me, Baron Kelly, what do you need."

"Food, weapons, armor, cloth, seeds, bakers, stonemasons, blacksmiths, brewers, leather makers, carpenters, physicians..."

Kelly took out the list that Alan had prepared for her, which had been arranged in order of priority.

The huge demand made Renault feel a little dizzy, and then he reached out to interrupt Kelly, "I'm very sorry, Baron Kelly, I think it's better if you show it to me."

"Well, that's how it should be."

Kelly handed the list to Renault.

"There are so many things you lack."

Renault stared at the densely packed text on the animal hide for a while, and said, "What do you want for food?"

"Wheat, chili, honey, condiments like coriander and fennel are all needed, as well as all kinds of vegetables, we need all you have."

Kelly said that these were all deliberately told by Allen, and the vegetables were what she saw after she came to Nord Island, and she thought Allen should also want them.

"Well, these are all fine, but the amount of weapons and armor you need is relatively small, especially there are only more than ten sets of full-body armor." Renault said helplessly.

The air on the island is humid, and the armor needs to be maintained frequently, and few people hoard it in large quantities.

"In addition, there are not many craftsmen and doctors in Nord Island that you mentioned later, only blacksmiths and carpenters have some apprentices, but I can't separate those who have families.

But some time ago I bought a batch of laborers, so I can share some with you. "

After listening to Renault's words, Kelly suddenly fell silent.

Before coming here, Allen ordered that food is a necessity, and artisans must also buy it.

If you can't buy it with money, you have to grab it.

"Baron Renault, are there any old craftsmen on your island who are too old to work?"

After thinking for a while, Kelly said, "Maybe I can buy them with money."

"These... those old people who can't work, their health is already failing, so it's useless for you to buy them?"

Although the old craftsmen have skilled skills and rich experience, these people are not very useful to Renault after training their successors.

To put it bluntly, many craftsmen are not far from death when they are too old to work.

Kelly smiled and nodded, and said frankly: "It depends on my luck. If they can live past the year, they can help me train a few qualified apprentices."

"In that case, well, I will ask these people for their opinions, but the price..."

Baron Renault paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "Although the old craftsmen can't do the work, you should know that they have a wealth of experience and knowledge..."

"Fifteen gold coins for each person, twenty gold coins for the doctor."

Kelly interrupts Renault and makes an offer directly.

"Baron Kelly, an official craftsman needs at least 25 gold coins, and a doctor needs 35 gold coins!" Renault said bitterly.

Kelly shook her head and retorted with a smile: "You also know that is the price of a formal craftsman, but now we are talking about some old people who cannot work, and I will take risks when I buy them back.

And you have to know that these people sold me, but they helped you solve a certain burden. "

Renault agreed with Kelly in his heart, but he still wanted to struggle to get more gold coins.

At this time, Kelly said again: "Baron Renault, this is our first transaction, but this is by no means the last time.

These old people are just emergency. We still need formal craftsmen in the future, and you can train more in the next time. "

"Then... well, just follow the price you said."

Renault let out a long breath, and said helplessly: "Baron Kelly, you are really a shrewd island owner."

"Baron Renault, you are not at a disadvantage."

Kelly raised her glass, "For food and weapons, you can give me an affordable price."

……

……

Kelly and Mark stayed at Nord Island for another two days, and the Blood Shadow set sail on the morning of the fourth day.

"That damn fat man is really cowardly. He takes his wife with him every day, even when he sleeps."

Mark sat on the bow, with a trace of hatred in his tone.

During the three nights in Nordborg, he had been trying to sneak into Renault's room to do something, but never had the chance.

Apart from Onife, this fat man who loves to laugh has arranged guards at every corner of the castle, and the number is not fixed.

It was easy for Mark to kill these guards, but he couldn't guarantee that he would not be discovered, because no one knew where a person would suddenly emerge from a corner.

"Onife and his wife, of course they have to sleep together at night."

Kelly was holding and stroking the pigeon-sized bird at this moment.

This bird is called the gray-tailed sea harrier, which was given to Kelly by Reynolds, specially used to deliver messages.

Kelly knew the sea harriers, also known as lovebirds.

Because they usually travel together and are connected with each other, even if they are separated by force and separated by hundreds of nautical miles, the other will find each other.

This unswerving dedication to death is not even affected by the black mist, and even at night it does not delay their flight-it doesn't count if they are eaten.

Of course, this contact method can only be used once.

The gray-tailed sea harrier's mate is a white-tailed sea harrier, which was kept in a cage in Nordborg by Reynolds.

Nord Island relies on this method to get in touch with many captains, and often when the other party is going to Nord Island, they will release gray-tailed sea harriers to notify Reynolds.

Kelly is very leisurely now, because the task assigned to her by Allen has been completed.

Fifteen sets of full body armor, more than 100 tons of wheat, potatoes and various vegetables, 29 arrows and [-] bows, [-] old craftsmen, [-] laborers and various materials.

These things cost less than three thousand gold coins, plus two boxes of iron ore and ten baskets of red fruits that are abundant in Black Reef Island.

And Allen gave her a reserve fund of [-] gold coins, more than enough to buy these things.

Of course, this is also because I didn't buy the light source orb.

Kelly continued: "Reynolds is actually guarding against us. Although he is usually smiling and easy to talk to, he keeps sending people to watch us."

These three days seemed to be peaceful, but secretly both sides were on guard against each other.

"I know."

Mark nodded. As a shadow assassin, of course he also discovered this, and wanted to kill the people who followed them.

But finally held back.

"Boss, boss!"

While the two were talking, Otto, who was at the helm, suddenly ran over in a hurry and shouted, "Boss, a fleet appears to the northwest!"
