I really just want to be a big lord

Chapter 88 It's Fishing Again
After discussing the procedures for borrowing money, Kaios and Earl Vaux had a meal at a restaurant next to his residence before saying goodbye and leaving.

Seeing the tense body of Salveira who was walking beside him, the long-handled sword was always in her hand, and she looked like she was in a fighting state at any time, Kaios couldn't help laughing and said:
"Don't be nervous. If the Marquis of Steel Heart really wants to attack me, he won't be in the city. You just need to pay attention to see if anyone is following us."

"Oh." Salveira responded, but still maintained her fighting alert.

When Kaios entered the city today, he still only brought Salveira with him.Just like what he said just now, even if the Marquis of Steel Heart really hated him and wanted to kill him desperately, he would not do it in the city. This is the way with the most serious consequences and the most costly.

What's more, Keos knows that the Marquis of Steel Heart doesn't have much hatred for him, and killing him is the least possible method, but judging from the last attitude of Marquis of Steel Heart last night, it is unlikely that he just pretended to be nothing It happened, and there will definitely be a follow-up.

What happened last night actually strengthened Kaios' determination to make a big bet with such a high leverage this time.

Because this made him realize that although the current Holy Blessed Alliance seems to be relatively peaceful between nobles and nobles, and between lords and lords, without such bloody direct battles and large-scale mergers, in fact, the conflict of interests is just a layer of " "legal" cloak.

Even if he doesn't provoke anyone and acts in a low-key manner, he still can't completely avoid fights and troubles coming to his door.

So he must quickly improve his strength, and go all out when he sees it.

Moreover, he was able to lend such a large amount of magic coupons from Vaux, and he could also give the Marquis of Steel Heart an illusion from the side, that is, the connection and cooperation between him and Presiding Judge Pender are very close.

Of course, this may make the Marquis of Steelheart think of harming the presiding judge, and invest more resources and strength to destroy it.

But Keos didn't care. He didn't think that the Marquis of Steelheart might be causing trouble for him because he was getting close to Judge Pender, so he deliberately stayed away from the judge. Instead, he hugged his thighs a little tighter.

What's more, he believes that even if the Marquis of Steel Heart destroys it, it won't be able to affect what he really wants to do.

After saying goodbye to Earl Vaux, Keos did not leave Yulang City immediately, but went to a shop in the core business district of the inner city.

Even in the core business district, there is no flow of people. Judging from Kaios’ previous judgment on the commercial value of the business district, it should be cool here.

But he knew that the core business district in the inner city of Yulang City was very, very profitable.

The shops here are the most in-demand assets. As long as you want to sell, someone can take over immediately. If you go to Earl Vaux for a low-pressure loan, he can even offer a loan amount above the original price.

The reason why it seems that there are no people and it is a bit cold is because the shops here are all for nobles and lords. Those people want to buy things, not like the ordinary people in Kaios’ previous life. They went out to eat and got excited , just go shopping, see what is sold in the store, try it if you are interested, buy it or not, it is very casual.

The aristocrats are very particular about shopping. They must make an appointment before entering the store. The store will not receive other customers during the corresponding time period. Then, according to the customer's preferences, they will prepare the product categories and arrange waiters familiar to the customer. , and even prepare meals that guests like.

Most of the things that the nobles want to buy are not finished products, they are basically samples to take a look at, and then make requests to customize according to their specific conditions.

Just like the shop owned by Kaios, it is dedicated to connecting with Jade Bird Factory, or more precisely, it is used for custom sales of stockings.

As soon as he walked into his family's shop, a young waitress with long blond hair, wearing a delicate skirt and white stockings greeted him.

This waitress is very tall. Wearing high heels, she is even two or three centimeters taller than Salvela. Although her appearance is not very beautiful and glamorous, she has a very good figure, especially her legs, which are very long. And the legs are full and tight, which can well show the characteristics and beauty of stockings.

Like the pair of white stockings on her legs, they have very exquisite and complicated patterns, which look like works of art.

"Lord Baron." The tall slender maid came over and said hello respectfully.

"Are there any customers in the store now?" Keos asked.

"Go back to Lord Baron. There are no guests now. The latest appointment is for tomorrow afternoon." The tall slender waitress replied.

"Did the batch of samples I asked Jade Bird Factory make come?"

"It's here. It's in the exhibition hall next to you. Go this way."

After walking into a showroom, Kaios saw the leg models placed on the display stands around them, all of which were covered with three-color silk stockings, mainly flesh-colored, black, and white. These stockings and tall The silk stockings on the maid's legs are different, except for the color, basically there is no pattern, it is a solid color, but some are darker and some are lighter.

Kaios went around and took a rough look at all the samples. It has to be said that the technology of the Jade Bird Factory is still qualified, and this batch of samples was delivered half a month earlier than the scheduled time.

In fact, the samples were originally sent to Beishan Manor, but Keos had only seen three, so he sent them directly to the store in the inner city, and immediately set up the exhibition hall, and let the Jade Bird Factory go straight to mass production—— Prior to this, the Jade Bird Factory had recruited enough citizens from several territories for training in advance according to the arrangement of Kaios, and the factory could start work immediately.

Now in the exhibition hall, enough magic lights were turned on, and the leg models were propped up again. The texture was much better, and he was quite satisfied.

"Lord Baron, I have something to say... I really can't help it, I wonder if I can tell you face to face." The tall maid who walked around the exhibition hall around Kaios hesitated for a while, and finally said Open your mouth and say.

"Say it, of course you can." Kaios looked back at her: "Ada, you have managed this store very well. If you have any comments, feel free to ask them, and I will definitely consider them seriously."

"My lord, these stockings...maybe a little too simple. Perhaps the younger generation of aristocratic ladies don't want to wear too complicated hardcover stockings, and occasionally want to wear this kind of simple design and simple style solid color stockings, but once or two You won’t be able to wear them all the time after a few adjustments. What’s more, this kind of stockings with almost no design can be made by ordinary skilled workers, and it is difficult to sell them at a high price. You make so many samples…”

Kaios laughed and said, "I know, these silk stockings are not meant for noble ladies and wives."

The tall maid named Ada frowned even tighter: "My lord, with all due respect, our shop is in the inner city's most core business district, and there will be no one except nobles...or even lords. other guests."

Kaios smiled and shook his head: "Ada, you misunderstood. I said that these stockings are not for noble ladies and ladies, but it doesn't mean that they are not sold to nobles."

"what do you mean……"

Kaios glanced at the other maids not far away who were wearing trousers or long skirts with bare legs, and said, "Let all the waitresses change into these stockings, mainly flesh-colored and black."

Although their store mainly made silk stockings and similar silk clothes, none of the waitresses in the store wore silk stockings except Ada.

After customers enter the store, they all have to look at the leg model or color atlas to determine the style, and then a professional designer will connect with them and discuss the specific details of customization.

The reason is what Ada just said. In this era, in the Holy Blessed Alliance, since its birth, these stockings have been exclusive luxury goods for nobles, and they have always been custom-made, taking a high-end route.

So in the store, only Ada, a noble maid, wore the "sample", and other maids from the common people were not qualified to wear it.

Ada immediately understood what Kaios meant—these simple-made, relatively simple-looking solid-color stockings without patterns were bought for nobles and worn by ordinary citizens, such as waitresses in restaurants run by businessmen. Maids in theaters, or ordinary maids and maids at home can wear them.

In fact, some nobles originally bought them for their contracted servants and maids, but they also bought custom-made products, so at most they were one or two pieces, for one or two people to wear, and they would not buy them in bulk—after all. It's just too expensive and wears out fast.

"Can this... really sell?" Ada asked a little uncertainly.

"There will definitely be, and...now that Jade Bird Factory and this store have been losing money, it is time to change their thinking. If they continue to lose money, then this store will have to change its business items." Kaios said.

Ada lowered her head as she said these words, a little ashamed. After all, although she is not a contracted servant of Kaios, she is also regarded as one of the managers and store managers of this store, and her salary is not low. She is really to blame for losing money.

However, Kaios comforted her a few words. He knew very well that she was not the root cause of the loss of money in this store and the Jade Bird Factory. In terms of her business operation alone, even if she was not particularly excellent, she was basically qualified and worthy of her salary. .

Before leaving, Kaios took a look at the sales records here, and found that their biggest VIP customer was actually Christina Fording—the countess who appeared later last night.

This beautiful eldest sister followed him last night, and even jumped out to confront the Marquis of Steel Heart. Could it be that she was afraid that he would be killed and there would be no place to order such beautiful stockings?

But this is just a random guess. Kaios knew that the real reason must not be this, but he couldn't figure out what the countess' purpose was last night.

Fortunately, the Countess's favorability towards him is positive, so don't worry too much.

After explaining the matter in the store, Kaios took Salveira to stroll around the business district for a while, and then turned to another store.

This is not his family's property anymore, and they didn't make an appointment in advance, but because they were old customers, they still brought Kaios into the reception room, waiting for the magician who was customizing the magic circle for other guests to come to see him.

Yes, what he is going to now is a studio for customizing magic circles.

This time he still wanted to customize the Forbidden Spirit Formation, and it was a larger and more powerful Forbidden Spirit Formation than last time.

The last time the cost was 600 magic coupons, this time his budget is 2000!

It wasn't until the evening that Kaios left the studio where he customized the magic circle. He didn't eat in the city. It wasn't that he couldn't find a restaurant that didn't require a reservation, but restaurants in the inner city basically wouldn't allow wearing a full suit of armor. Therefore, he would rather ask Salvela to buy some meat pies, snacks and the like, and eat them on the way.

After arriving in the outer city in a transfer vehicle and getting into his own carriage, Kaios asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything?"

"Yes, one, I have been on high alert, so he didn't dare to get too close." Salveira said.

Kaios said with a smile: "We have stayed in those places for so long, no matter how far they follow, they can confirm where we have been, um, as long as they can be sure."

Kaios is going to fish again. He knows that the Marquis of Steel Heart will definitely attack him, but he doesn't know how, but he will not just passively accept the move. He also has to give the opponent a little surprise.

……

Seven days later, an ox cart pulled by three bantam oxen and carrying a huge sealed box slowly drove out of Beishan Manor.

Originally, the ox cart was guarded by a team of ten full-armored guards, but after walking less than ten kilometers, they were overtaken by a knight, and after explaining something, they all rushed back to Beishan Manor.

The ox cart waited for more than ten minutes, and the driver seemed to be unable to wait any longer, and continued to drive forward, but after traveling for seven or eight kilometers, the driver stopped the car on the side of the road for some reason, and then ran away.

"What's the situation?" Several hundred meters away, the three knights looked at each other, some with puzzled faces.

Even though there are only three of them, among these three, one is a high-level aura warrior at level 11, one is a top-level holy spirit guard at level 12, and the other is a top-level magister. , is enough to attack an ordinary baron's manor territory, and the normal squad of punishment knights can't stop it.

It was the top magister who spoke, and he had the highest status among the three: "The direction is correct, it seems that it is indeed sent to Sardinburg, but if it is really that person, how can there be only one coachman? There are no guards? And now that the coachman is gone, this cart is just thrown here? Something is wrong, something is too wrong."

The top-ranking holy spirit guard said impatiently: "Master Jiang, we should have started half an hour ago. At that time, you thought there were no guards in this convoy, so it was not right, so take a look first. It’s gone, it’s stopped there, you still feel something is wrong, you want to take another look, then when are we going to see it?”

"Reckless man! The master told us when he asked us to come, whether we can take it or not, play it by ear, and the most important thing is to protect yourself." The magister surnamed Jiang said very unhappy.

"You are waiting in the distance. Avala and I are going to check it out. If there is something wrong, it is also ours. What are you afraid of?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, you are really entangled, can I go!"

"Then how to do it, you should tell me!"

Seeing the two top-ranking powerhouses quarreling, the high-ranking spiritualist Avala said: "Magic Jiang, Nino Shengwei, don't fight, let's go, I'll check the situation, if it's a trap, Then I will be recruited, and you two have the strongest combat power, whether to fight or to go, you have a choice."

"No!" "No!"

Surprisingly, the two who had been arguing fiercely just now gave the same answer.

"Master Jiang, you don't really think that the baron designed us on purpose, do you? Even if he has the guts, does he have the ability? If he really has the ability, he can arrange people to hide around or in the box so that we won't find out , can it still be a baron? Or do you think that the woman from the western realm has been subdued by the baron, and cooperated with him to design us?" said Venino, the top holy spirit.

Jiang Modao thought for a while, then shook his head: "It's unlikely."

Nino spread his hands: "Yeah, this is impossible, and that is impossible, so what are you worried about?"

"This situation is really weird..." Jiang Modao still frowned.

The reason why the master sent him here was because he knew that he was the most careful and cautious in doing things. They may not take action this time, and they may not gain anything, but they must not be damaged in battle, let alone reveal their identities.

That is to say... If you make a move, you must succeed, and if you make a move, you will not be able to live.

But the current situation, although too weird and full of doubts, did not have any guards or guards. They really left directly and went back to report to the master, which seemed unreasonable.

"Why don't you just fire the long-range killing magic and lift the box up, and we'll find out what's going on inside." Nino couldn't help instigating when he saw that Jiang Modao was holding back his shit and didn't speak. .

"This is impossible. The master has explained that that person has to live. And if that person is really as strong as the great wizard Miller said, we destroyed the 'Forbidden Spirit Cage', wouldn't we be looking for death?" High Rank Avala, the aura master, said.

"Let's go there together." Jiang Modao finally made a decision.

"What were you doing in the past?" Nino asked strangely, "You mage, just stay here."

"I want to make sure whether the spirit cage is still in operation." Jiang Modao said, staring at the huge ox cart in the distance.
