"I have come to see Your Excellency Master this time mainly to express my gratitude, because we have made a lot of profits from our cooperation with Your Excellency in the field of magic equipment, and I have also gained the trust of my family. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Gerald was originally just a deputy of the Hepburn family's business agent in the ancient city of Aogu, but he was as discerning as a torch, when he visited Allen's magic weapon store for the first time, others were admiring the magic of magic weapons, only he was deeply attracted by the air conditioning magic array on the roof, when other merchants were grinding their fists, preparing funds to bid or order a magic weapon, only he quietly made a report to the person in charge above in his personal name, hoping to be able to customize the air conditioning magic array in batches. He mentioned in the report that although magic weapons are good, they are all for martial artists, and in contrast, the air-conditioning magic array is worthy of rich nobles. His plan was approved and executed, and as a result, after the first batch of magic circles arrived, the Hepburn family first installed a set in the living room where the guests were received, and the cooling effect brought by the magic array fascinated every nobleman and rich person who had been to the Hepburn family, and all the magic circles were quickly sold out, becoming the most successful business operated by the Hepburn family in the ancient city of Aogu. Gerald's unique vision of business attracted the attention of the Hepburn family, and then there was an order, the original head was transferred back to the south, and Gerald took his place, and at the same time came a decree from the king to make Gerald a baron, which is why he thanked Alan as soon as they met.

"Business is a win-win situation, and Your Excellency Baron doesn't have to be polite. ”

"Your Excellency Mage may not know that your magic equipment is very popular among the southern aristocracy, and everyone takes pride in the fact that their house can be equipped with one or several sets of air-conditioned magic arrays that your Excellency has personally refined. ”

Gerald's conversation still revolves around the magic circle, which was originally the purpose of his visit.

"That magic array is nothing, the key is your Excellency's promotion. ”

Allen's words were not casually polite, but a real idea, at least when he first designed the air-conditioned magic array, he didn't think of using it to make money, and at that time, like other merchants, he focused on magic weapons, until Gerald brought it to the south.

"Your Excellency Mage is too modest, the magic array you refined, we have shown it to other alchemists, they have painted cats and tigers, although they have also made some imitation magic arrays, but the effect is too poor, the family that has not experienced your magic array is estimated to be reluctantly acceptable, but those who have seen it are disdainful of it. It's just that I don't understand, why did Your Excellency suddenly choose to give up such a lucrative business? Is it because of the lack of magic materials, but this is not a problem, the Hepburn family still has some inventory of magic materials over the years, and we can take out some of them for your use. ”

The air-conditioned magic array is the key to Gerald's ascension, and it can also ensure that he will maintain the high profits of the Hepburn family's business in the ancient city of Aogu for a long time to come, so when Steven told him that he would give up the business of magic equipment, including the most profitable air-conditioned magic array, Gerald was both puzzled and anxious, he was about to go to see Allen, but was blocked back by Steven, and then he came to look for Allen several times, but Steven prevaricated under the pretext of retreat and cultivation. Gerald was very angry about this, as one of the agents of the Hepburn family, he had never been treated like this.

In addition to the magic circle, there was another thing that made Gerald desperate to meet Eren and talk to him.

Half a year ago, Gerald had been negotiating with Kevin about the timber purchase, Kevin was a wizard, and he was equally shrewd, so when he grasped Kevin's predicament, he did not give an inch in the price negotiation, and finally succeeded in forcing Kevin to make concessions, but just when the two sides were about to agree, Alan returned, and then Kevin disappeared and never came to him again to talk about the timber transfer.

Gerald found out that Kevin's wood was no longer for sale, and the potion production had been restarted. He immediately realized that it all had something to do with Allen's return, and although Alan was not a pharmacist, Gerald knew that Alan was a miracle worker, and if Kevin restarted the potion refining work related to Allen, then Allen might have a way to help him solve this problem. The trading of potions is also one of the important pillar industries of the Hepburn family, and it is also an important business that Gerald is currently responsible for, he will never allow others to get involved, or even pose a threat, so he also wants to talk to Alan about this matter, so that Alan should not be overwhelmed and do things against the Hepburn family. The most important thing is that he just received a letter from the Hepburn family yesterday, on the one hand, praising his contribution to the business, the second batch of air conditioning magic arrays he got last autumn made the Hepburn family's account room count the money to be soft, and at the same time, the family also sent him a special task, this task is also related to Allen, so after several times to see Allen to no avail, this New Year's party he rushed over early to block Allen, and finally waited for Allen to appear, and immediately pulled Kevin over after Hollander left.

"I'm too busy right now, and I'm about to leave for a while, so I don't have time to create more magic arrays, so I can only choose to give up. ”

Alan gave himself a vague reason.

"If Your Excellency can continue to provide the Hepburn family with magic arrays, and we provide magic materials, I am willing to buy your batch of wood at twice the price. ”

Gerald tied the magic circle and the batch of wood from the elven forest together to negotiate, he instinctively thought that Allen's reluctance to continue the business of the magic array was still a matter of price, but he didn't really want to compromise on the price of the magic array, because this was a long-term business, but it was a hammer of wood, which could be considered.

"I'm sorry, Lord Baron, but I've decided to quit the magic equipment business. ”

Alan was unmoved by Gerald's words, he was now trying to figure out how to reduce Steven's dependence on him for their business, how could he go back.

"Kevin, your lumber ......"

Gerald turned his eyes to Kevin, his eyes flashing with a plea for help, he thought that buying wood at double the price was much more cost-effective than Kevin's own extraction of the potion, enough to make Kevin's heart go to help him convince Alan.

"Your Excellency, I am a business agent like you. ”

Kevin said tactfully, but the attitude was clear, he listened to Alan.

"That's a shame, a shame. ”

Gerald saw that Alan was resolute, and Kevin was unmoved by his own temptation, not only shaking his brown hair, but also said with a look of regret.
