"Master Mage, I have to remind you that all the expenses of the Dragon Yin Mercenary Group come from the Mercenary Guild, including the purchase cost of this batch of wood, and the Mercenary Guild has the power to hold accountable, no matter who is responsible. ”

Seeing that Allen's tone was not good, the vice president's expression became serious.

"Yours is the cost of purchasing timber, right?"

Alan picked up a leather bag from his side and threw it on the table between the two of them, making a clanging sound:

"Do you see if that's enough? ”

Alan threw down the bag and left, and the vice president realized that the bag was full of gold coins.

"Archmage, what do you mean by that?"

The vice president didn't dare to accept Allen's gold coins, he wanted to lift the bag and return it to Allen, but who knew that the fluttering bag in Allen's hand took the strength of milk to pick it up. However, when he rushed out the door to stop Alan, he learned that Eren had already gone out of the gate surrounded by a group of guards.

Looking at the large bag of gold coins in front of him, the vice president was in a difficult situation, he didn't dare to collect it, and he couldn't return it, so in the end he could only ask people to save the gold coins, and then get up and go to the castle on the top of the hill to report the situation to Holancest.

The next day, Hollanster summoned Alan to the castle and asked about the mercenary group's training before he turned the conversation to the timber purchase.

"Alan, I approved the mercenary union to investigate the matter of timber procurement, the mercenary union has been established for three hundred years, and an important reason why it has been running well is because it has a clear and definite set of rules and regulations, so that all people in it must follow and implement, especially people in high positions like you and me should set an example, so as not to mess with the rules left by the ancestors. And I believe that you are innocent, so I also want to prove to everyone through this method that you will not do anything that disappoints me. ”

Hollanster reminded Alan tactfully.

"I don't understand what the adults say, but Kevin Borg has been following me for the past few years, and he has been very responsible for the reason why the store can make us a lot of profits, especially last year because I was wrongfully imprisoned because I was framed, I always felt sorry for him and wanted to repay him. ”

"Kevin is lucky enough to have a boss like you, he has made more money over the years than most people in their lifetime, what else are you sorry for him?"

Since he is also a shareholder of the trading store, Hollanster is very clear about Kevin's income, and besides, it is an obligation for his subordinates to work for his master, so he doesn't think that Alan has anything to be sorry for Kevin at all.

"My lord doesn't know that Kevin left the family because of the failure of the timber business and chose to leave the family, and the family has always had some thoughts about him over the years, so I want to take this opportunity to let Kevin do some timber business for the family, and also take this opportunity to ease the relationship between him and his family and re-establish his prestige in the family. ”

Alan's words are half-true, Kevin was forced to leave home because of the failure of the timber business, but after following Alan, he made a lot of money, and he has already proven himself and has repaired the relationship with the family, but these things are not clear to Holancest.

"I see, it seems that the union people are wrong to blame you. But why don't you take the initiative to explain it to the union officials? I'm sure they'll understand. ”

Holanced showed a look of sudden realization, and Allen's reason for buying people's hearts was easy to understand.

"Explain, is it necessary for me, a chief archmage, to explain it to them?"

Although Alan was smiling in his heart, he still made an angry appearance on the surface, making Hollanster think that he was very dissatisfied with the mercenary union's investigation.

"Alan, don't be angry!"

Hollanster walked up to Allen, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted:

"The people of the mercenary union do things according to the rules, and they are blameless, but this matter has made you feel wronged after all, do you think this is good, in the future, all the timber of your regiment will be purchased from the Borg family, and I will approve it." ”

"It's okay for me to be wronged in front of adults, but I can't afford to be embarrassed in front of my men. I think it's best if the adults have a well-thought-out approach. ”

Alan was waiting for this sentence, of course, he would accept it when he saw it, and after having Holland's order, he could blatantly use the line of the Borg family to transport the raw materials of the Elven Forest, and I believe that no one would be bored enough to go to which hillside the wood of the Chaberg family was cut from.

"As for this bag of gold coins, the people in the union don't dare to accept it, and I can't let them collect it, I know you have money, but I can't take advantage of you if you work for me, you can take it back." ”

Hollanster smiled and waved his hand, and the two guards came in with a bag of gold coins and placed it in front of Allen.

"Thank you, sir. ”

Now that the goal has been achieved, Alan is no longer polite, and communicates with Horantst about some more things, and even finalizes a business to buy magic materials from the Ogu family's warehouse before he leaves.

A false alarm about the timber procurement turmoil completely subsided, and the gendarmes guarding the timber withdrew on the same day, and the seal was removed. Although the whole thing was handled perfectly, and it didn't let the Security Department and the mercenary union catch the slightest bit of a horse, it reminded Alan that there are countless pairs of eyes staring at his every move in the ancient city of Aogu, and he must be cautious at all times, otherwise if he makes a mistake, there may be an abyss ahead.

That night, Alan hosted a banquet for Kevin at his home, ostensibly to appease his old subordinate, but in fact to celebrate the crisis safely, and to discuss the next drug sales issue by the way.

"Alan, how's the Reinhardt family getting in touch?"

After drinking, the two of them sat at the stone table in the backyard, and after Alan put a soundproof spell on his side, Kevin opened his mouth to ask about the topic he was most concerned about.

"Reinhardt can't decide on his own, he needs to send a message back to Boulder City for instructions, I believe there will be news in the next few days. ”

During this period of time, Allen's main focus was on alchemy, and Steven talked to Reinhardt a few times on his behalf, of course, in the store, but Reinhardt never gave a positive answer, only that he was considering it. It wasn't until Allen finished this round of alchemy that he met Reinhardt in person and had a long talk with Reinhardt, analyzing the impact of this move on the Hepburn family and the Holy See for him, that Reinhardt agreed, but considering the possible impact of this matter, Reinhardt still cautiously sent a letter to Euss the Great for instructions.

By the time the Emperor Yuss approved the instructions were returned, the first batch of potions from the factories in the suburbs was mixed with a batch of magical materials, and finally loaded into a carriage with the logo of the Reinhardt family and transported to the south, while another batch of potions was quietly transported into the barracks.
