"Meet Your Majesty. Turning around, an unusually familiar face came into view, and Derek immediately saluted, a face that Derek dreams of every day.

Of course, Derek's orientation is quite normal, he just likes the new gold coin with the king's face on it.

"Excuse me, your father and I were classmates in the Iris Demon Court back then, and we served together in a legion, we are like brothers, you can call me uncle, just like you call Anderson, I didn't expect you to come to the royal capital for so long, we only met for the first time today. His Majesty said kindly.

And Derek's heart trembled, as the saying goes, nothing to do is either a traitor or a thief, if a friend who has not been in touch for a long time suddenly asks you to contact your feelings, then he must be planning to borrow money from you.

"Your Majesty the King has a lot of opportunities, and this is the second time we have met, the last time was at last year's harvest celebration. Derek said perfunctorily.

"Oh, I remember, you're the nobleman who was reprimanded by the Prime Minister for bringing pornographic literature. The king, perhaps aware of the awkwardness of the subject, changed the subject, "This magic weapon of yours is good, and I heard that there are some other gadgets that have been selling well among mercenaries recently, right?"

That's not a yellow book, that's a comic, hey~!

"For the blessing of His Majesty the King. "Uncle doesn't dare to call, I'll call you uncle, and then give you a 50% discount on the friendship price, I can't do this business yet, of course, I dare not say it, but I can whisper in my heart.

"You don't have to be so nervous, I just want to do business with you, I just heard you say that this thing is not cheap?" Seeing that Derek did not answer, His Majesty the King said tentatively again.

"Yes, Napoleon broke the cannon by exploding in the cannon body, so there are high strength requirements for the cannon body material, so it is not profitable to take the dwarf's master-grade steel casting, based on this weight alone.

What's more, the recipe for the potion that made the explosion was added with more than a dozen kinds of raw materials, and its preciousness was not going to be elaborated on one by one, so as not to delay your time, Your Majesty, how much do you want?"

The big deal is coming, His Majesty the King has twelve main legions directly under him, if they are all equipped with artillery, it doesn't take much, just like the little silly girl of the third princess, and the funds for my big plan can be done directly, and there will be a lot more.

"Really?" said His Majesty, smiling playfully, as he toyed with an arquebus in his hand, similar in shape to the one he had sold, but Derek was sure it wasn't made in his own workshop.

I don't remember ever having those alchemists make such a cheesy golden musket!

"Bang!" Seeing that Derek did not speak, the king fired a shot at the one in the distance.

Seeing the gold version of the mountain stuff that the king took out, Derek was still a little worried about whether his gunpowder secret recipe had been cracked, but as soon as the fire was fired, Derek was relieved.

In order to keep secrets, all the munitions sold by Derek to the outside world, the gunpowder formula was changed, and on the premise that it would not affect the effect, it was mixed with several messy things, one of which had a very pungent smell after burning.

As soon as the king fired, Derek smelled a familiar pungent smell.

"Since His Majesty the King has successfully copied it, why bother with his subordinates to purchase it. Derek said with a smile in his eyes.

"Sure enough, it's Kennedy's iron rooster species, calculate the time, Derek has been on duty in the royal capital for more than two years, right?" Seeing that the little trick was exposed, His Majesty the King was not annoyed at all, and asked Director Anderson beside him with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, Your Majesty, two years, nine months and 21 days. Director Anderson gave Derek a deep look and replied.

Derek was confused, what's wrong with me? Look at me? The king doesn't matter, but you're my own uncle, why can you turn your elbow out? Anyway, Lao Tzu is leaving, it's a big deal to go back to his hometown to build a territory.

Yes, that's right, Director Anderson's full name is Anderson Ross, and he is the younger brother of Derek's father.

"Some time ago, the commander of the Dragon's Tooth Legion wrote to me, saying that he was too young and wanted to go back to the king to retire, I agreed, but I asked him to wait until the successor arrived before stepping down, I think Mr. Derek is an excellent aristocratic youth, maybe a good candidate?"

The king said seemingly casually, in normal times, the position of corps commander is undesirable by many people, and the person who gives gifts is about to break the threshold of the head of the military department, but this year the head of the army department is very numerous.

This year is different from the past, since the beginning of spring in February, it has not rained for three months, thanks to the geographical location of the Kingdom of Lane, the water in the river is abundant, and the life is quite passable, but there is already a drought on the grassland, right?

Coupled with a heavy snowfall on the grasslands last winter, and it is said that many livestock froze to death, everyone knew that the orcs would definitely take advantage of the autumn to cross the Cairns Mountains to plunder, and then it would be a fierce battle.

No way, who made the Kingdom of Lane right next to the Cairns Mountains.

"Your Majesty, I'm too young, am I?" Derek broke out in a cold sweat, should he send me to the army? I haven't left a queen for my family, at least wait for me to get married, right?

"Well, you're twenty-three years old, aren't you? Your grandfather was a year younger than you when he was the commander of the legion. His Majesty said with a smile, looking like a kind uncle next door, but it seemed to Derek to be full of mockery.

"Following His Majesty's arrangement, can I set up the legion in my hometown of Ross?" Obviously, this is a threat from Hongguoguo, but Derek doesn't plan to bow his head, it is impossible to reduce the price, it is impossible to reduce the price in this life!

"It's your power, Legionnaire. His Majesty walked away with a blank face, and it was clear that this was not the answer His Majesty wanted.

"Greetings to His Majesty. Derek got down on one knee.

"Master, are you really going to be the commander of the legion?" Sister Lina asked worriedly, frowning, obviously, the recent tensions had been heard of for a long time, and there was no need to even deliberately go out to inquire, just a glance at the rising profits of her own workshop.

Arms are undoubtedly the most lucrative business in war.

"It's okay, you still can't trust me, Sister Lina. Derek comforted, looking at Sister Lina's rabbit ears hanging down because of worry, I really wanted to touch them, but after all, I had a thief's heart and no thief's guts.

Derek thinks it's nothing, he hasn't started fighting yet, what are he afraid of, besides, as a military house, he doesn't want to refuse such an opportunity, but it seems that his long-planned big plan will be postponed.

Of course, some of the goals of singing, dancing, rapping, and basketball do not count.

"How can you talk to your father like this, I will intercede for you. The little princess stomped her feet and chased in the direction of her father and sister.

"Don't forget to remind Princess Jessica to send someone to pay the deposit tomorrow!" Derek shouted at Princess Wei'er's back.
