In the evening, the Marquess of Wimbledon arrived at the Duke of York's mansion.

Victor stepped out of the two-wheeled carriage and gracefully stretched out his arms to help his beautiful wife get out of the carriage and greet the knight of the Interior Office not far away.

The knight of the Ministry of Internal Affairs wearing golden armor returned the salute solemnly and watched the Viscount Randall and his wife enter the Duke's Palace.

Sylvia has a prominent status and a high status, and her words and deeds are particularly eye-catching. In the past two days, the House of the Interior has paid close attention to the small movements between the York family and the Viscount of Rand, not only checking the medicinal materials sent to the York family by the Marquis's Palace, but also increasing the manpower to openly monitor the movements of the Duke of York and the Marquis of Wimbledon.

The Marquess of Wimbledon is as transparent to the Kite Castle House as a crystal house. The House of Internal Affairs would never dare to infiltrate the mansion of the York family in front of Sylvia.

That's why Victor sent two witnesses directly to the York family. And that cart of medicinal herbs included all the samples in the inventory of the Marquis's Palace. The Ministry of Internal Affairs could not find any clues at all. However, they must show everyone that the Kite Castle is the master of Blinor.

I took my wife to Sylvia's private dinner. I don't know how many people have been sleepless tonight, and how many people's fates can be changed? Before I know it, I have reached this level...... If Catherine was coquettish on me, I would have to coldly refuse to tell her the truth...... In this way, there is a city of great nobles.

Victor smug and cranky, deliberately omitting Sylvia.

Baror's plan was flawed. Who knows how Sylvia will react?

"Honey, you're a little nervous. Sophia took her little husband's arm and whispered to reveal his state of mind at the moment.

Victor walked steadily, and said indifferently, "How can I be nervous? ”

"Nervous, tangled, apprehensive, excited, excited...... It's like the first time you climbed into my bed. ”

Sophia leaned slightly, her red lips leaned into Victor's ear, and murmured, "You can't hide it from me." This is the talent of the purple-eyed bloodline. Especially now that I'm holding your arm. ”

Victor immediately felt the elasticity and softness of his right arm, and Sophia's steady and powerful heartbeat.

He chuckled under his breath, "Dear Madam, I do have some nervousness...... We're going to decide something big tonight...... But now it's much better. ”

"I'll see. Sophia replied with a light smile.

The attendants of the Duke's palace led the two to the door of a room, and before he could knock on the door, Sylvia opened the door from the inside. Then she gave Victor a long, affectionate kiss in front of Sophia.

Sophia was a little surprised. It was the first time she had seen Sylvia in such a moving manner.

Sylvia's cheeks were flushed, her starry eyes were slightly closed, her brilliant blonde hair was sprinkled over her shoulders, her right foot in high heels was lightly touched to the ground, and her body was delicate and feeble to snuggle up in Victor's arms. It is like a little wife who has reunited with her husband after a long absence, not a god knight who is high above.

Sophia closed the door casually, and saw that the two were intimately glued together, and there was no intention of letting go, so she snorted coldly.

Sylvia put her arms around Victor's neck and said happily, "I like your gift." He smiled and said to Sophia, "Dear cousin, I like your gift even more. ”

As long as Sylvia is happy, she won't embarrass me too much...... Victor exhaled softly.

In fact, Sylvia has never felt sorry for him, let alone asked him to get to the bottom of things. It's just that Victor is succumbed to the charisma of the god knight and is deeply in love without knowing it.

Sophia pursed her lips and said sourly, "If it's that cart of medicinal herbs, Victor has already paid for it." If it's Victor...... He's still my husband. ”

"I never deny it. Sylvia smiled, let go of Victor, and turned to walk towards the wine cabinet in the room, "Sit casually, what do you want to drink?"

"Green barley. Victor pulled out the chairs for the two ladies.

Sophia sat down gracefully. "I want barley too. ”

Sylvia took a bottle of barley wine, returned to her seats, and poured a glass for everyone.

The green barley wine of the Sasang Empire is dark green, with a spicy and pungent smell, but with a rich and attractive wheat aroma.

Victor raised his glass and took a sip, only to feel a line of fire burn from his tongue to his stomach, and then ignite his whole body, his brain became dizzy, and he almost lost control of his body.

X-3 works naturally, weakening negative reactions in the body and mind, and raising alarms to take over the body. Victor had to use the activation talent, and the water element in his body quickly disintegrated the drinking power, the blush on his face subsided, and his whole body was warm and seemed to be full of strength.

"Is this a human drink?!" Victor grumbled loudly as he put down his glass in an embarrassed manner.

"There are two types of barley wine. This one is reserved for savages. Sylvia toasted Sophia.

Sophia sighed faintly, raised her glass and drank it down.

Watching the two women drink the whole glass of barley without changing their faces, Victor couldn't have been more depressed.

Sylvia played with her glass and said, "The Southwind Chamber of Commerce traffics green barley wine from the Sassan Empire. Count Hola Ludwig brought a few barrels of barley wine for His Majesty Edward. It is said that the Duoduo were preparing to transport the barley wine to Raven Town to sell it to the barbarians there. She put down her glass and asked Sophia, "You have a good relationship with Copper Halberd City and the Duchy of Teuton. Did they tell you about the barley?"

Sophia shook her head.

"If the Sassangs don't tell you, forget it. The Bucks Merchant Group is doing business with Copper Halberd City, and it is impossible not to know about it. They're hiding it from you...... This glass of green barley reflects your situation. Sylvia shook her head and asked, "What did Victor tell you yesterday?"

Sophia glanced at Victor and said in a deep voice, "He said that Eckert was in the Duke's Palace, and he said that he was willing to help me ask you for help, and then took away a cart of medicinal herbs...... He didn't explain the specifics. I chose to trust him. ”

Sylvia's clear blue eyes turned to Victor and chuckled, "Honey, shouldn't you explain to us why your people appeared in Ascending Rock City and brought Lord Eckert back captive?"

Victor secretly complained that he should explain to Sylvia alone first, and then explain the matter of the Golden Regiment to Sophia together. But Sylvia didn't play her cards according to the routine at all, and actually called him and Sophia over to confront him face to face.

This is definitely revenge!

Victor froze and said slowly, "This matter has to start a few years ago...... When the Randall family was founded, I was very short of money. I have snow sugar, coffee, and jaggery, but I can't sell them at a price. It just so happened that Nelson's War Bear mercenary group dealt with caravans all year round, so we also started to form caravans, hoping to secretly transport Randall's specialties out for profit. ”

"Why did you want to smuggle it out?" Sylvia asked, raising a willow eyebrow, "How much coffee and snow sugar did Randall have hidden?"

Victor said, "Not much...... Just 500,000 gold soles. ”

"500,000 yuan, you want to make 500,000 yuan without telling me!" Sylvia was furious, and threw the feather cushion behind her.

Victor caught the pillow and muttered, "Who made you not like coffee and snow sugar at first, and the purple cane wine was taken away by you, and I can only figure it out by myself?"

"My dear, I'm curious, how do you make 500,000 gold soles? I haven't heard of the Randall family having a caravan on a long journey. Sophia narrowed her eyes and said with a smirk.

"You're asking me how to get the goods out. Victor put down his pillow and changed the subject with a smile, "I don't have any caravans at all, I only have mercenaries under me. They formed a mercenary group, and with a few traders, they traveled through the wilderness and mountains to transport Randall's specialties to the easternmost part of the kingdom, to the territory of Neville. ”

"It can't be. Sophia said coldly, "If it is so simple to trade, then every lord can follow suit. We, the Wimbledon Chamber of Commerce, have long since collapsed. ”

"Nothing is impossible. Victor took out a dark red crystal from his waist pocket, threw it on the table, and said, "The unpolished fire element crystal is from the Barony of Garrot in the Kingdom of Neville. ”

Sylvia grabbed Sophia before Sophia, held the fire elemental crystal in her hand, and said with a smile, "This is for me?"

"Uh...... The fire element crystal provided by Baron Garrot is of poor quality, and I have never been able to get my hands ......on it," Victor said with a smile.

The corners of Sylvia's lips rose, she took Victor's hand, and said softly, "I like it very much." ”

"Don't be numb, okay?" Sophia rolled her eyes, stared at Victor and asked, "Randall and Neville are thousands of kilometers apart. How did your mercenary group do it?"

"Imitate you. Victor met Sophia's amethyst eyes and said, "You once carried Mithril through the wilderness, avoiding the lord's scrutiny along the way, and returned to the city of Brinorr from the twilight forest of Seuss. You also helped the Neville people open up a hidden trade route to the savannah. My dear, I am very inspired by your adventures...... Of course, my men are all ordinary mercenaries of mediocre strength. Although they have a wealth of experience in surviving in the wild, there is still a great risk in walking in the mountains and forests for a long time. ”

"I couldn't have made it with them alone. ”

Victor walked to the wine cabinet, took a bottle of golden kite, and poured himself a glass of golden kite, and toasted to Sylvia, "So, I have to thank the beautiful Queen of Roses." ”

Sylvia raised her blue eyes and said in surprise and curiosity, "Thank you?"

"Hmm. Victor drank the mulled wine in his toast and returned to his place with the bottle in his hand, "Gambis ceded the three eastern provinces to Neoveste. More than 200,000 people followed the House of York as they moved westward to the hills. Some of them were left in the wilderness and taken in by wild villages in the mountains and forests. The growth of the mountain people caused unrest in the neighboring villages, who cut the food supply to the mountain villages, forcing the mountain villages to kill each other. Some of the mountain hunters followed the outcasts to Randall's territory to make a living. ”

"I opened up the Randall Territory and subdued nearly a thousand mountain people. They are an important force in the Randall family. Victor paused and continued: "These people are familiar with the terrain of the mountains and forests, know the danger there, know the location of the cottage, know what the cottage needs, and know the people in the cottage. With them leading the way, my mercenary group knocked on the door of the mountain people's village with iron arrowheads, cloth, and salt, and received the support of the mountain hunters. Those cottages became my trading base, not only helping the mercenary group to open up trade routes, but also providing supplies, trading mountain goods, and replenishing troops. ”

Sylvia asked with burning eyes, "How many cottages do you have in your hands now, and how many forest hunters work for you?"

"36 cottages, a total of more than 9,000 people. Victor said triumphantly. This figure is less than a quarter of the truth.

"A mercenary group, some worthless supplies, to leverage such a huge force......"

Sylvia looked at Victor with admiration in her eyes and said softly, "My dear, you can always think of things that others can't think of, and you can realize your own ideas. I'm proud of you. ”

Victor smiled reservedly. Sophia asked, "How much does this business road help you earn?"

"More than 20,000 gold soles a year are always available. Victor replied.

"More than 20,000 gold soles a year?" Sophia raised her eyebrows, her face full of disbelief.

"A pound of coffee with three pounds of snow sugar sells for 10 gold soles, and it sells for around 45 gold soles in Naville. Your mercenary group only takes rough mountain roads, and they run at most once a year, no more than 300 pounds of coffee and 900 pounds of snow sugar at a time. I have not heard of Baron Garrot, who must be a small country lord. How much coffee can he eat? You give him 20 gold soles for about the same price, and with the profits from reselling mountain goods, you can earn up to 8,000 gold soles a year. ”

"I still have jaggery. ”

"I recruited a shrewd freeman trader," Victor said. He transported the jaggery to the cottages, where the mountain people collected wild fruits to make jaggery candied fruits, which he then took to the towns to sell. He is now the largest black marketeer in Waterdeep, with more than twenty shops under his command, but the Joshua family doesn't know that he is my subordinate. ”

"My dear lady, I have many such black market merchants, who are located in Coppertown, Vistock, Blinor, and Ojibwa, and who can help me earn ten thousand gold soles every year. ”

Sophia was silent for a long time, and sighed in a low voice, "You are selling Randall's specialties in Wildwillow City to cover the supply of black market merchants. No one knows that their main cargo actually comes from your secret business...... What a ploy. ”

Sylvia said, "However, a secret trade route will not satisfy you. You begin to form more mercenary groups in an attempt to open up secret trade routes in the kingdoms of Dordor and even the Sassan Empire. ”

"Unfortunately, your men are not familiar with the mountainous environment of Duoduo. Their progress in the kingdom of Dordor was slow. So you change your mind and send someone to infiltrate the Bucks Merchant Group. Your mercenary group got in touch with Lord Eckert in Rock City, and that's what happened. ”

Sophia glared at Victor and gritted her teeth, "You fought my idea from the beginning! You, like the Borui people, want to annex my Buck Merchant Group...... You bastard, I'm ......"

Victor sneered and asked, "What are you?" I wanted to defeat you and conquer you from the beginning. Is this reason sufficient?"

Sophia was speechless for a moment, and her head hung down with a complicated expression.
