"I'm ashamed to say it, little brother, after I came out of my hometown, I took my younger brother to study in the Heron Magic Academy, all these years, I really haven't done business, will this business lose money, big brother, you asked so suddenly, I'm afraid I really can't answer. ”

Roger felt the intoxicating fruity aroma of the mellow wine bursting out of his mouth, as if he didn't understand the squeeze in Brandon's words, and continued to pretend to be stupid.

"Haha, Brother Roger, you really know how to laugh, with your shrewdness little brother, if you really go to business, how can there be anything about my brother and me. ”

Across the long table, Gregory was smiling and saying nonsense that he didn't believe, and it was also thanks to Roger's thick skin that he agreed with a smile.

Seeing that the banquet had a tendency to be led crooked by Roger, Brandon, who couldn't bear it, threw the wine glass and slapped the table to get up. I saw him step on the chair with one foot in a ruffian, laughed like a male duck for a while, and said with a little drunkenness, "Okay, it seems that everyone is full of food and drink, so don't continue to go around in circles, to be honest, little brother Roger, brother has a good idea to make a fortune here, but I wonder if Brother Roger is interested?"

"Big brother, let's talk about it, I won't tell you, we really don't have a lot of money, but all the money given by the academy is used to hire you. Roger leaned back in the chair, cut off a piece of pie and put it in his mouth, and said with a smile, "If you use a few of us, you can open your mouth casually, but if you use money, your brother is really shy." ”

Now that he was down to business, Brandon simply squatted on the chair, with a little imperceptible banter on his face, staring at the childish faces of the boys and girls, he smiled, and his expression gradually became presumptuous.

"Little brother, look at you, you have come all the way from the province of Cyprus to our Vikz, and you have to risk going to the endless sea to help your mentor collect magic materials, if you don't meet us, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for a few people to find a ship to go to sea, right?"

Brandon said almost word for word: "Not to mention the endless sea beasts in the far sea, if it weren't for the protection of our mercenary group, your group of apprentices would inevitably lose a few." But if you think about it, if you work so hard, you're probably just earning some college credits in the end, right?"

Seeing Roger nodding slightly hesitantly, Brandon's face was a little more contrived and regretful, "Brother, I think you are all good, this is just a mouthful, to say that in our Principality of Peace, there are not many other things, but all kinds of magic academies are a lot of grabs, with this condition, why stay in that Heron Magic Academy to do such a thankless job?"

"So brother, I'll show you a clear way, it's better for you to collect all those magic materials on the island, hand them over to Gregory to deal with, and sell them to Baishi Castle or the west of the continent, which are some lucrative ways. When the time comes, you will have a lot of gold in your hands, and Brother Roger, you will not have to go to the magic academy in Whitestone Castle. ”

"Is this guy trying to use us as a free tool to exploit resources?" or is there some other conspiracy?" Roger muttered in his heart, and the hesitation on his face naturally couldn't escape Brandon's spicy eyes.

After yesterday's contact with the dark wizard 'Black Wing', Brandon, who was instructed, is now unhurried, and he can't help but sigh in his heart that Lord 'Black Wing' is far-sighted, and a pocket of soul crystals is worth more, so can he have a magic mine that is worth it?

Seeing that Roger seemed to be a little shaken, Brandon also raised his eyebrows and gave Gregory a look, asking the latter to blow the wind to Roger again.

"That is to say, Brother Roger, I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as the quality of the magic minerals on that island is acceptable, selling them to those mages is a lot of golden gold, so ......"

"Bang!"

Just as Gregory was babbling on and on to paint the pie, Roger looked a little ready to move, when the door of the banquet hall was suddenly pushed open violently, and a cold breeze poured into the warm room.

The fat merchant who was interrupted glanced at the door dishappily, and saw that it was Captain Anos, the frost on his face was a little thicker, and he stroked his mustache, and said in an unkind tone: "Anos, you are not at the helm, what is the matter with coming here? Didn't I let Andre tell you, don't disturb us at this time?"

Anos was dressed in a sloppy black shirt covered in oil, and his trousers seemed to be one size larger, which were loose and baggy on his body, and the beard on his face was so stretched that it was almost impossible to see his face.

He threw the same dirty tricorne hat into Andrew's arms, and told the attendant to bring him a chair, and then he said quietly, "What, old man, you are hungry and can't come down and eat something?"

As he spoke, Anos stretched his boots on the table, and the dripping water stains on the shoes quickly stained the white tablecloth black, and compared to this guy, Brandon, who was just squatting on a chair, was a good young man who spoke five words and four beauties.

Seeing this scene, Gregory twitched, Anos's actions undoubtedly made him a little unable to get off the stage, relying on himself to be an old man in the Chamber of Commerce, Arnos was so unscrupulous not once or twice, not to mention that several previous businesses were yellow, but recently he had put his hand on himself.

In the afternoon, Gregory was still wondering why the last batch of 'goods' was still on the ship, and asked André to secretly check and find out that Anos actually detained the 'goods' in private every once in a while, because the shipwrights on the ship were all Anos' people, and Anos deceived the middleman that the voyage was not going well, and delayed the delivery date to the time of the next shipment, so that this kind of thing lasted for nearly half a year and was not discovered.

In fact, during this spare time, Anos traded those goods in the black market of Vikz under his own name, and all the extra profits went into his pocket. It wasn't until yesterday that he was forced to arrange this voyage because of Brydon's threat, and before he could dispose of the detained goods, Asno showed his feet.

In addition to the shock, Gregory was extremely afraid, Anos, a guy with a head full of lard, almost killed himself, such a method of tearing down the west wall and making up the east wall may work for a while, but in the long run, both sides of the transaction will always find something wrong.

Don't you look at the man standing behind the middleman? A third of the nobles of Norrick Province have invested in this business. His own chamber of commerce is just one of the chambers of commerce that has been picked by others to run errands, and he trembles every day, lest something happen to these goods, but he didn't expect this idiot guy to dare to pull teeth out of the dragon's mouth?

I wanted to draw a line with the idiot after this voyage, but I didn't expect him to come menacingly to find trouble for himself?

"Andre, Captain Anos is tired, you can take him back to rest, and by the way, let the first mate take the helm for the time being. Gregory wiped the rice stains from the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and dropped the words so lightly that the fat merchant did not want to bother with the man anymore, and looked at Anos with the same gaze as he did at the dead.

"Gregory, you ....."

Arnos stood up suddenly, suddenly anxious, realized that the matter was exposed, and wanted to take advantage of the dinner party to have a relationship with Gregory, for the sake of the previous relationship, this time maybe it will be over, at best, it is just a part of the money he has earned, although this makes Anos extremely painful, but he didn't expect that Gregory didn't even give himself a chance to speak.

The angry Anos was about to walk in front of Gregor, and a pair of powerful hands pressed his shoulders like pincers, and Anos couldn't break free no matter how fierce his face was.

"Captain, after a busy day, Your Excellency will inevitably be tired, so I will send you back. You don't have to worry about the rest. ”

Looking at Andrei's smiling expression, Anos froze for a moment, but still pretended to shake off the hand he pressed on his shoulder, "Let go of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will go by himself." ”

Glancing at the people on both sides of the long table, the angry Anos seemed to be angry with Roger and the others, and made a gesture to wipe his neck at the boys and girls, and then he scolded and walked out of the door.

"Click"

A crunch disrupted the orchestral performance, and Roger and Elway suddenly looked at each other, and they suddenly remembered the neglected being, and the decaying aura that had filled the room and was almost dissipating suddenly became rich.

Under the blank gaze of the crowd, Anos froze with the hand that stretched out to open the door, and the swearing voice came to an abrupt halt, and then turned into a whimper of pain.

"Whoa!"

Anos's stiffness didn't last long, and with another jolt of the ship, a column of blood splattered from his neck onto the richly decorated walls, drawing a bright red arc on the Bain-style floral decoration, and Anos's head fell to the ground with a grunt, his wide-eyed eyes bloodshot and his horror staring at the ceiling, but it was lifeless.

"The evil spirit, has it finally appeared? It seems that this bloody dinner has just begun. After taking a sip of the scarlet wine in the glass, Roger put down the knife and fork in his hand and muttered faintly.
