103. The Accident of the Firm

As soon as I walked into the hall on the first floor of the Emerald Bay Commercial Bank, I saw a busy scene inside, a large number of materials were piled up in the back warehouse, a group of merchants crowded in front of the counter, holding money bags high in their hands, scrambling to buy goods with the waiters of the trading houses, those of the merchants shouted loudly with a somewhat hoarse voice: "Order, pay attention to the queue, don't crowd, the caravan has just arrived in the imperial capital, the goods are abundant, please don't be anxious." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

I heard the fat merchant with a shiny face crowded at the front, wiping a handful of sweat on his oily face with a wet handkerchief, putting the money bag on the counter with great momentum, and tearing the string on the pocket at will, revealing the yellow, orange, and orange gold coins inside, he split his big mouth, and said loudly to the merchant waiter with a smile: "Hemostatic grass, prepare ten boxes of hemostatic grass for me, I need it urgently!"

"Oh, ten boxes of hemostatic grass, is there anything else you need?" the merchant waiter asked with a smile as he recorded the items that the fat merchant was going to buy on a manifest.

"Five boxes of yellow black grass, two boxes of bone-setting grass, two boxes of purple grape vines, one box of royal blood grass, and one box of stone calamus. The fat merchant then uttered the names of a series of magical herbs, then hesitantly glanced at his pocket full of gold coins before remaining silent.

"Today's herbal medicine market is a little higher than yesterday's, and you know that hemostatic herbs have been popular recently......"

The waiters in the trading house communicated with the merchants in an orderly manner, first making a list of items, then setting prices, paying the deposit, inspecting the goods, and paying the payment, and then the waiters would move boxes of goods that had just entered the warehouse of the trading house to the horse-drawn carriages waiting for the goods to be transported in the back street, and the whole transaction process was over.

Through the glass windows of the hall, I saw that the heavy wooden boxes on the shelves of goods were constantly moved up and down by the waiters, and new goods were constantly entering the warehouse, and many goods were broken into small parts and then shipped out.

I remember that before leaving El City, Marven and I talked all night, and when talking about the so-called ideals, he said that he wanted to develop the current grocery store into a trading firm, and many things were not said or done before he could be delayed because of Sister Guoguo's affairs.

That thriving grocery store is currently in the business of low-level lifestyle magic scrolls and low-level magic herbs. But with the arrival of me in the imperial capital, there are two most advantageous goods missing from the grocery store, and those scrolls are okay, every week I will fill a magic chest and send it back to Marven, but those low-level magic herbs that have been hoarded in large quantities can only be hoarded in underground caves, and they cannot be sent to Marven in a short time.

Originally, we also planned to expand the business of magic rune metal plates, but unfortunately because I left El City in a hurry, the blacksmith shop may also be disposed of by Marven, the last time he wrote to him, he mentioned this matter, saying that the blacksmith shop is doing very badly. We're also planning to sell some of the orc tribe's merchandise from the Pai Plateau, such as those corpse oils, magical 'coal', and so on.

I looked at the busy scene outside the window with great envy, and asked Noah: "Is only the second half of the first floor a warehouse? With such a large purchasing power, I am afraid that the inventory in these warehouses will not be able to maintain the transaction volume for a day!"

"Of course, there is more than that, there is a larger warehouse near the airport outside the imperial capital, and the hoarding of goods there is the majority. ”

Walking down the stairs was a knight dressed in silver scale armor, two long sturdy legs wrapped in a magic pattern made of silver shin armor, a pair of rhinoceros leather boots on his feet, long golden hair tied behind his head like a ponytail, the outline of his face was three points similar to Noah, his chin was full of beard, when he saw Noah, his eyes were full of doting and smile, he stretched out his hands from a distance, and said to Noah: " Hey, little Noah, you won't come to our family cemetery and the specific location of the buried treasure place, you will share it with your friends!"

Noah showed a happy look on his face, turned around and ran forward two steps, and collided with the strong silver-armored knight, it seems that the relationship between the two is very good, I can't help but want to complain: Those ranger knights talk about the grievances and hatreds between the brothers of wealthy and aristocratic families, which are usually very bloody, why didn't I see these in Noah?

The steady knight patted Noah's head affectionately and said appreciatively: "Our little Noah has grown a lot taller, it seems that you have been doing well for two months?"

"Ahh Noah protested at the strong knight.

The knight in silver armor laughed, then put his arm around Noah's shoulders and said to Noah, "Hey, why don't you introduce me to your new friends?" I heard you use the ...... in the manor Entertain him ......"

Louis was only halfway through those words before Noah covered his mouth with his hand, and the voice behind him was staccato and I couldn't hear it clearly.

However, Noah seemed a little embarrassed, it seemed that he must have done something I didn't know about, and now he didn't want Louis to say it in front of me, which is why he reacted so violently. The brothers Louis and Noah are probably used to making trouble, and the two of them giggled and pushed for a while, of course, Louis tried to let Noah do his best, so that Noah would not look too embarrassed.

Otherwise, even if Louis is not a heavily armed knight who is good at strength, if he wants to subdue Noah, one hand is enough.

After a while, Louis walked up to me, he stretched out his big hand, smiled kindly, and said to me, "Hello, I'm Louis, Noah's brother, and welcome you to Emerald Bay." ”

I didn't look restrained at all, I naturally stretched out my hand and joined him, his palms were very thick, his palms were full of calluses, and his muscular arms looked very good, I saw the knight's medal on his chest that was polished, and said politely: "Hello, Knight Louis, my name is Giga, a student of the Royal Academy of Magic, Noah's roommate, it's a pleasure to see you." ”

The knight's medal is engraved with a long dragon lance and a royal gias with wings spread, I have seen this style of medal in a medal booklet, this medal represents the 'Royal Knights of the Friechus', it seems that Noah's brother is not simple, at least the Praetorian Guards around Charles the Great. There is a kind of coercion in his body that belongs to the strong, which makes my chest slightly gasp.

Louis took me and Noah to the top floor where he usually works, and the room is very luxuriously decorated, almost all the decorations are gold and silver utensils, and there are many gems inlaid on them, and there are some rare monster leathers on the wall, or complete skull specimens, which look lifelike.

We sat down at random, and Noah explained very directly that he wanted to help me buy some fine flour, salt, twine, and cotton cloth from the merchant.

Louis sat down on the sofa across from me, and listened attentively, and with no contempt on his face, he called over to a beautiful female assistant very solemnly, and listed the names of the goods on the list of parchments, one by one.

Apparently the female assistant did not have the kind of restraint that Louis had, and when she recorded the name of the third item: 'twine', the corners of her mouth unconsciously skimmed slightly, although the expression of disdain was only a fleeting, but it still fell into my eyes. But I think this is human nature, after all, such a small business in a big trading house like this is really not worth mentioning, even those ordinary waiters in the hall are afraid that they are willing to receive, obviously they can go to some grocery stores, and they can do things, but they want to trade in the trading house, which is always a bit suspicious of a small horse-drawn cart.

When I finished saying what I wanted, Louis raised an eyebrow, held out a finger, and said to me easily, "It won't take too long to get ready." ”

He beckoned to the female assistant, the female assistant with a bumpy figure leaned down slightly, the pair of surging rabbits hidden in the white shirt showed a clear outline, but the waist was still tightened, and after leaning down, the perfect buttocks were revealed, the female assistant's smooth and white pretty face, almost close to Louis's face, Louis stretched out his hand and gently pinched her fair face, and then picked her white pointed chin, and said to her: " Go and call Bud, the person in charge of the living area, and ask him to push the list in his hand to the people below first, and I'll wait for him here!"

"Okay, I'll call him right away!" the female assistant watched a look of intoxication flash in Louis's eyes, and as Louis instructed, she hurried out of the room.

Seeing a look of envy on Noah's face, Louis had a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth, reached out and rubbed the blue stubble on his chin, and asked Noah: "How is it, are you interested? If you like it, I will give it to you, or if you have a habit of cleanliness, I will find someone to train you one, and wait for your coming-of-age ceremony, which will be regarded as a gift from me?"

Then his eyes fell on me again, and he said very generously: "Jijia is the same." ”

"Luis, don't mess around. Noah's face turned red, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said.

Noah, who has always behaved very freely, seemed a little cramped when talking about this topic.

"Of course I know, I won't come before your coming-of-age ceremony, I'm afraid someone won't be able to control it by himself!" Louis laughed heartily, and the whole room was filled with his unique and loud laughter, and Noah's face turned even redder.

Louis sat down on the couch with a golden sword, his silver scale armor against his majesty, he leaned over and picked up the golden cider on the coffee table, filled the glass with the golden liquor, and then took a slow sip very intoxicated, made an inquiring look at Noah and me, and asked us, "Well, would you like a drink?"

"Let's give us tea, drinking alcohol regularly will damage my mental strength. Noah waved his hand and refused, even my share of the generation refused.

To tell the truth, I actually want to taste the bottle of golden cider on the coffee table, I want to taste what the golden cider that the nobles usually drink tastes like, after all, there are still 60,000 barrels of golden cider from Zimmermann Manor in the underground cave of my Xinliu Valley, I seem a little regretful, but I don't reveal the thoughts in my heart, thinking: Forget it, this is not in a hurry, even if you know, what can you do, wait for the opportunity.

Louis put down his wine glass, shrugged his shoulders wittily, reached out and pressed it on my shoulder and said, "If you want to prepare these goods in the future, there is no need to come to me in person, just write a note and ask someone to bring it, so simple." ”

A blonde woman in a long white dress walked up with a tea tray, her long leather boots stepped on the marble floor, the spikes hit the stone floor, making a crisp and pleasant sound, she put two cups of tea in front of me and Noah, and turned away very neatly.

Looking at this blonde woman in a long white dress, I had a strange feeling that she seemed to be Louis's woman, and the female assistant who had just had an ambiguous attitude with Louis, I felt that she should be the pure female assistant of Louis Knight, and for some reason, this feeling became very clear in my mind.

A middle-aged man who looked like a butler, dressed neatly and neatly, and even his hair was meticulously groomed, only after the blonde woman in the long white dress left with her fragrant hair thrown away, she came out of the side door, saluted Louis respectfully, and then asked cautiously, "Son, are you looking for me?"

Louis put away the smile on his face, at this time the majestic aura permeated his face, with his majestic and strong body, that powerful aura was instantly formed, and the atmosphere in the room was condensed, Louis nodded lightly, reached out and pushed the list of materials on the parchment on the table in the direction of the middle-aged man, and then said calmly: "Bud, you go and prepare these materials immediately according to the details on this list, is there a problem?"

Bard hurriedly picked up the parchment list on the coffee table, quickly looked at it from beginning to end, and then reviewed it again, confirmed that it was correct, and then said with a little hesitation: "Eldest prince, these living materials, except for fine flour, there is almost no inventory in the warehouse here in the imperial capital headquarters, and these living materials are usually stored at the material transfer station near the airport. ”

Louis frowned, a look of displeasure immediately appeared on his face, and asked in a deep voice: "Then, how long will it take for these goods to be ready, and quickly!"

"By night......" Bard said tentatively, seeing that Louis's face was even more gloomy, he immediately straightened up and said, "Oh no! half an hour is enough." ”

Louis listened to Bard's words, his face softened, he nodded with satisfaction, and motioned for him to take the list of goods in his hand and go down to prepare.

In fact, the goods I want to buy are not too much, but they are definitely not too little, because this time I want to buy exquisite flour that can make the more than one hundred and fifty orcs in Xinliu Valley eat for a month, a full twenty thousand catties of flour, and some other items, especially one hundred catties of salt, the Green Empire has not lifted the restrictions on the sale of salt, which will probably make Mr. Bard, who is in charge of the living quarters, feel a little headache.

Before Bard stepped down, Louis pointed at Bard and said to me, "If you want to buy these items when I'm not in the firm, just go to Bard and he'll take care of it." ”

Bard bowed slightly to me as Louis spoke.

Looking at Louis and Noah who didn't care, with a relaxed expression, I felt a little emotion in my heart: Maybe this is the energy of the aristocratic family, although it is just a small matter for Noah or Louis, but for me, it is still a bit of a headache, so many kinds of goods are bought one by one, and it is impossible to do it in a day or two.

In the past, when I was in El City, Marven directly helped me with these trivial things, I never knew how troublesome these things were, but now that I am in the imperial capital, everything needs to be on my own, so I feel very troublesome.

But now, I didn't expect that with Noah's help, it would be solved so easily, I glanced at Noah with a little gratitude, and couldn't help but lightly punch him in the shoulder to show gratitude.

This side has just come to an end, the Mr. Bard hurriedly retreated to prepare supplies, Louis had a kind smile on his face again, and was about to take the opportunity to make fun of Noah, the female assistant who had just been in charge of recording the details of the list of items, and the first-class female assistant ran in with a slight gasp, and leaned into Louis's ear, his face looked a little flustered and whispered a few words, and Louis's face changed slightly.

He glanced at me and Noah slightly apologetically, stood up from the sofa, and said in a deep voice: "How could there be such a big mistake, what does Buck in the herbal medicine area do to eat, let's go down and see first!"

Then, Louis took a deep breath and said to Noah: "Noah, treat your friends well, I have some things to deal with here, I can't accompany you for the time being, you wait a while, Bard will prepare those goods, and he will look for you." ”

Noah got up from the sofa a little nervously, he was not as calm as Louis, and asked with some uncontrollable concern: "Louis, what happened, maybe I can help a little!"

Louis had a doting look in his eyes, smiled, shook his head and said to Noah: "Little Noah, these are the things of adults, take care of yourself, it's enough." ”

Noah protested: "Don't treat me like a child how many times you say, I'm already an official magician......"

But now Louis was a little absent-minded, and he walked out the door with the female assistant, and said as he went, "Okay...... Got it!"

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he casually asked the female assistant, "Is anyone injured?"

The female assistant looked a little embarrassed on her expression, but quickly replied truthfully: "Well, almost all of the knights who came back were injured, but they have already sent someone to the temple to invite the priest!"

Louis's face became more ugly, and his pace quickened a little.

At that moment, a remarkably calm voice sounded in the room, and I said with a little modesty: "Knight Louis, if anyone is injured, maybe I can help a little!"

Louis and the female assistant looked at me suspiciously, and I got up from the couch a little shyly and said to the two of them, "I'm a water magician, and I know how to do water healing magic......"
