Black Rock City, the back hall of Witt House.

"Sardin! Saldin! Saldin! Damn Saldin!"

Baron Adair's angry shouts resounded throughout the room, his fat body jumped up and down in the room, and kept throwing vases, fruit plates, books and other things on the table on the ground.

The table and chairs were also overturned by him, and the whole room was in a mess as if it had been looted by a jackal.

The servants hid at the door, looking at each other, no one dared to go in to persuade the master not to go crazy.

Baron Adair vented for a while, standing on the ground, panting continuously, his face flushed, and he looked extremely angry.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and an old man in a blue dress slowly walked into the room.

Seeing the scene in the room, the old man frowned slightly, pointing his fingers in the air, and a chair that was placed on the ground immediately returned to its original position.

The old man leaned on the chair at a more comfortable angle, slowly took out a snuff bottle from his arms, and took a deep breath.

"Father."

Baron Adair curbed his anger, greeted the old man, lifted a chair from the side, and sat on it in a proper manner.

"Tell me, what's the situation?" the old man asked with a calm expression.

Baron Adair took out a bottle of rejuvenation potion from his arms, and said with an aggrieved face: "I just wanted to sell this potion, but who knew it would end up like this. The mercenaries hired twice with high salaries were all discounted, and the deputy store manager Lei Keza is dead too."

The old man took the bottle of rejuvenation potion, sniffed it, and said with a smile: "Just for such a small thing, you threw so many gold coins and human lives out?"

Baron Adair looked frustrated, and said angrily, "It's Lord Sardin, he's too cunning. He deliberately pretended to be weak, but who knew he was a first-class French knight!"

"Then who is to blame? Isn't it because you didn't do a good job in market research?" The old man said disapprovingly, "I have taught you many times that shopping malls are like battlefields. No matter what business you do, you must not rush without a thorough understanding." Take the shot. In this situation, how can I save the face of the House of Witt?"

"Father, teach me what to do next." Baron Adair looked at his father with hopeful eyes.

"What can we do? Business, there are plenty of them, if you break it, you will lose it. Your father and I have done a lot of business in our life." The old man said indifferently.

Baron Adair said unwillingly: "Just let that damn Lord Sardin go like this?"

"Rob, I've told you many times, don't be impulsive when doing business!"

Seeing that his son was still obsessed with his obsession, the old man's tone became severe: "That's a first-level law knight. What do you want me to do? Gather people and kill him at a huge price, just for these broken potions, broken potions?"

As the old man spoke, he raised his hand, and the potion flew back to Baron Adair's arms.

"It's not difficult to kill people. The key is to have benefits." The old man earnestly taught: "What's the point of doing things that don't benefit? As the son of a businessman, you must have a business vision. Don't blindly be aggressive, Detached from the essence of a businessman."

Seeing his father getting angry, Baron Adair regained his senses a little, and could only lower his head and say, "Father, I."

"Over the years, I've entrusted you with the business of the shop. Let's see what you've done. Buy and sell by force, cheat and cheat, and do everything you can to coerce and lure. If you continue like this, sooner or later you'll offend everyone. .” The old man’s tone became more and more severe.

Baron Adair was a little unconvinced, and argued, "But father, didn't you always do this before?"

The old man's tone was stagnant, and he coughed lightly in embarrassment: "That was when the career just started, and it had to be a little bloody. Now we are all decent people, and you are even more valuable as a baron. You must have a noble heart."

Baron Adair chewed on his father's words, a little confused, so he had to ask again: "Then what shall we do next?"

"It's very simple, fix it with him. Let the other party not defend us, at least, they will not retaliate against us and cause unnecessary trouble." The old man said solemnly: "Write a letter in your name and tell Sardin Lord, all of this is done by Rexxar personally, he is the temporary deputy store manager of our store, and has nothing to do with Witt House. We are all friends, and we can continue to cooperate in the future."

"Is this necessary?" Baron Adair muttered, and then said dejectedly: "I see, father."

Seeing that his son was so useless, the old man wanted to say something, but in the end, he just shook his head and continued, "You need to broaden your horizons. The evil orcs have already broken through the Grizzly Bear Fortress, and I guess the war will soon spread to everyone." to the Wallow Valley."

Baron Adair was worried when he heard this, "Will that affect our business?"

"Of course there is an impact, but it is a positive impact." The old man said with a smile on his face: "Compared with daily trade, the wealth created by war is the real huge profit. Now the front of the evil orcs is so long. Food, Salt, ironware, and all kinds of magical materials are in great need of them. Only by selling things to those who need them most can they obtain the greatest profit."

"You mean, do business with evil orcs?" Baron Adair's eyes lit up, and then he was a little worried: "Is there any risk?"

"Hmph, the greater the risk, the greater the profit." The old man said with a sneer, "Everyone is doing this kind of business, and we are not the only enemy. What can you do if you look forward and backward? This is a big business. How much can you do with these small potions in bottles and jars?"

"Yes, yes. Father, you still think long-term and thoroughly." Baron Adair
"That's right." The old man said with a slight smile, "However, even though we have reconciled with that Lord Sardin on the surface, we still have to keep staring at him secretly. Those who offend my Wit House will one day, Let him pay the price in blood!"

Baron Adair's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, first pretend to reconcile, and then give him a fatal blow when he is not paying attention!"

Seeing that his son finally listened to it, the old man was very satisfied. He stood up and said, "Okay, let's clean up this place. We must maintain the dignity of a nobleman."

With that said, the old man stood up and left with graceful steps.

Baron Adair stood up and sent the old man away respectfully, thinking silently in his heart, he didn't know when he would find a chance to kill Lord Sardin.

"My lord, another lord has sent ten maids!"

In Sardin Manor, Old Barron took a letter and rushed all the way into Luomo's studio.

Luo Mo was developing a new medicine, so he glanced at Barron and said, "Don't get too excited, be careful to knock over my beaker."

"Yes, yes." Barron stopped immediately and carefully placed the letter on the table.

"I'm too lazy to read, help me to see what's in it." Luo Mo said without raising his head.

"Okay, my lord!"

Barron tore open the letter, read it, and said with joy: "It's our neighbor to the west, Lord Allen. He first congratulated you for being promoted to the first-level French Knight, and then said that he can return the fruit forest near our manor. In addition, I sent you ten maids."

After reading the contents of the letter, he said with a look on his face, "That forest belonged to our manor decades ago, and it was taken by them. Now we have to obediently return it."

Hearing this, Luo Mo nodded slightly, with a satisfied smile on his face.

That piece of forest, planted with mature apple trees, is a good economic benefit.

"Including today's letter, six lords have sent letters to express their congratulations to you. Many servants and gifts have also been sent. My lord, your reputation is now far higher than that of your ancestors. Rest in peace." Barron choked with sobs, sincerely proud of his master.

"It's still far from the great achievements created by our ancestors. Okay, let's get down to business. How many people are there in our Zhuangzi now?" Luo Mo asked.

Baron raised his face, thought for a while, and said, "A lot of people from Shake Town came a few days ago, and they were all willing to be your tenants. In addition, some refugees defected, and gifts from various lords. Now There are already 670 five households, a total of 740 people. My lord, you are already considered a middle-level lord."

Hearing this number, Luo Mo sighed slightly: "This is more than 700 mouths."

Today, the trade channels for alchemy products have not yet been opened, and the gold coins accumulated before are basically used to make water altars.

With such a large population increase in a short period of time, the food in the warehouse is no longer enough.

Even so, Lomo still believes that the more people, the better.After all, population represents productivity.

As long as the trade of magic products can be carried out normally, it is absolutely no problem to bring high profits to support these people.

Thinking of this, Luo Mo said: "Next, your task is very heavy. You must open up all the land between the main manor and the cracking soul manor, connect these two places into a large area, and use [-]% of the land to grow herbs. "

"In addition, from these newcomers, some young and strong people will be transferred to join the militia. As the territory grows, the number of guards will increase accordingly. The training of the knights must not stop."

"Leave it to me, my lord!" Barron patted his chest, and said again: "The winter wheat planted years ago is now in the harvest period. With this batch of grain, it is enough to feed so many people. In this regard, you Don't worry though."

"It's just that, after distributing bonuses and pensions to the Cavaliers and militia a few days ago, Curry only has more than 100 gold coins left. I'm afraid it will delay your magic training and alchemy."

"Well," Luo Mo nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about this. The matter of Witt's House has been temporarily resolved, and the permit has been issued. In the afternoon, Elliott will bring his security captain to talk to me about this matter. , before we only had rejuvenation potions to bring benefits. Now, the trade of combat potions will also be put on the agenda, which is a big deal."

"Then I can rest assured." Baron nodded happily immediately.

Immediately, he took out another letter from his pocket, and said with a serious face: "Speaking of the House of Witt, they also sent you a letter."

"Oh?"

Luo Mo was suddenly a little surprised. He stopped his work, took the letter, and opened it to read.

After reading it, Luo Mo said with a contemptuous smile on his face: "The temporary deputy store manager used the old routine. Do you really think I'm a fool?"

"They won't be looking for trouble again?" Barron asked with some concern.

Luo Mo shook his head, a little noncommittal, and ordered: "Tell Vincent and Joss that the training cannot be stopped for a moment. The Soul Breaking Castle and the Headquarters Castle are forbidden areas. You must do a good job of guarding, and no one else is allowed to enter. Although They wrote to ask for peace, but we can't take it lightly."

"Yes, my lord!" Barron said immediately.

After Barron left, Luomo also left the studio and came to the living room.

He opened the heavy curtains of the French windows and looked out the window.

On the training ground, the knights and militiamen were sweating profusely; in the distant fields, George was organizing farmers to harvest wheat.

Farther away, a large number of young and strong people are working tirelessly to open up wasteland. They dig the soil, clean up the weeds, clean up the weeds, compost and fertilize, and irrigate.

Looking around, these are their own lands and their own people.

And everything they do now will be turned into gold coins in the future, which will be used to improve their magic cultivation.

However, it will still take some time before it is realized.

Nearly 2000 gold coins are needed to be promoted to a first-level shadow magic knight, but currently I only have more than 100 gold coins left.

Where should I go to earn some extra money?

Thinking of the upcoming Elliott and his security captain Job Alex, who will discuss the trade of magic products with them in a while, I don't know if it will bring surprises to myself.

At Lando Wharf between Volo City and Sardin Manor, security captains Job Alex and Eliot Eric each rode a tall horse, looking impatiently at a mountain road on the left.

Behind the two of them stood three gorgeously dressed nobles, two men and one woman, all riding high horses.

Their servants were waiting not far away in their carriages. The carriages seemed to be full, and the marks of the carriages were deep in the mud.

Viscount Odolf from the north of the valley frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Why isn't Baron Lando here yet?"

"So many people are waiting for him alone, he really has face." Pei Bona, an apprentice mage who also came from the Northland, also snorted coldly.

She is a rare female mage, with a pair of beautiful blue eyes, which is touching when looking at her.

This time she came here on behalf of her father to talk to Luo Mo about trade cooperation.

"Why don't we go first, Lord Sardin will be waiting in a hurry, it seems that we are impolite." Ian, a nobleman from Wallo City, suggested.

"Mr. Alexis, let's go, don't wait for him." The last nobleman said.

"Well, that can only be done."

Job and Elliott glanced at each other, and had no choice but to call the team to set off.

This time they chose four nobles to participate in the trade with Lomo, all nobles who had good relations with Earl Martin.

This is what Lomo specifically requested.

Lomo's idea is very simple. He doesn't know these nobles in the Volo Valley, so Martin's vision is of great reference value.

After all, old Martin himself was an upright person, and the people he made friends with were probably not much worse.

Of course, nothing is absolute.Lomo can only do a preliminary screening in this way.

As the trade team was marching towards Saldin Manor, Ian said, "Eliott, I still can't believe that Lord Saldin is really an official legal knight? I checked his file, and he He's only 24 years old this year."

"I'm also a little confused. As a genius, my father was 30 years old when he was promoted to the first level of magic knight." Trainee mage Pei Bona also expressed doubts.

She has been trying to break through as an apprentice over the years, and she knows very well how difficult it is to become a formal magician.How can I not believe that a 24-year-old young man will achieve this achievement.

Viscount Odolf said in a deep voice: "There is nothing to doubt. He can tell from his record against Baron Nora alone. Moreover, I know a little about the past of the Sardin family. They are not ordinary people."

"Perhaps it was because of the potion that he defeated Baron Nora." Pei Bona analyzed.

Job interjected at this time and said, "That even more shows the power of Lord Sardin's potion."

His purpose of this trip was to facilitate a deal, and whenever he had the opportunity, he would advertise for combat potions.

"That's true." Pei Bona giggled and said, "But if there is a chance, I would like to try Lord Sardin's strength."

As she spoke, she looked into the distance with her beautiful blue eyes, as if imagining what this young and promising Lord Sardin would look like.
