Therefore, if the Amerad steel of the Salander people is a noble lady dressed in fine clothes and dressed pretty, then the iron ingot of Kulau is a small jasper that grows in the countryside and is naturally beautiful. The pen is www.biquge.info and it has won the hearts of all blacksmiths with its natural fine materials. The people of Kurau were also proud of this, and they looked down on Ameraad's steel, but firmly believed that only natural and high-quality ore could forge the best weapons.

"Anyway, old man. The young man gasped and carried boxes of iron ingots to the truck, sweating profusely. How many more? ”

The old man widened his fur and said, "Not much... Well, two more cars would be fine. ”

"Damn!" the young man suddenly lay on the ground and protested loudly, "I'm tired, I'm not going to do it, so many iron ingots have to be moved by me, you can't help!"

"Hmph," the old man snorted coldly, "do you think I'm still moving at my age? ”

The young man snorted and chirped to his feet, and could only complain as he continued to carry the box.

"I say, did the Rhine Gong do this kind of work back then?" asked the young man, gasping.

"Of course, every businessman goes through this step. The old man replied affirmatively.

。。。。。。

That's right, hard work is an ordeal that every businessman has to go through in the early days of starting a business. After all, they don't have any money on hand, and after hiring enough mercenaries to protect their goods, they can't hire too many guys, so they can only do it themselves. After all, mercenaries aren't all as hard-working as One-Eyed and his men, and although they do their duty, they don't do anything beyond their duties.

However, now Mu has hard-working bounty hunters and enough buddies, so he is exempt from the pain of this labor.

"Boss Mu," President Bard of the Kurao Chamber of Commerce twisted his fat body and smiled flatteringly, "The quality of the ale you brought this time is good, but the quantity is really... ”

The merchant looked at the ball of meat in front of him and sighed, "Alas, no way, I came from Nord." ”

"It's a thief, no wonder. "But a big caravan like you dares to do it, are the robbers of Nord already so fierce?"

"Isn't it... Mu smiled bitterly, that Nord bandit robbed him so much that he didn't even have a temper, isn't it fierce!

"Half of the iron and steel ingots are ready, and the rest will be ready tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow, I think you will have to wait two days. Also, do you want to build two more weapons? I happen to have a batch of high-quality weapons from the big forge. ”

Mu shook his head, "There is no need for weapons, the weapons of your Virgians are always on the heavy side, and it is estimated that only Nords are used to using them." ”

"Okay, is there anything else you need?"

"That's it, I'll have to take care of President Bud in the future. ”

"Hey, I'll take care of that turn," Bud slapped his thigh exaggeratedly, "If the boss could say a good word in front of Rodrapoye, I'd be too satisfied." ”

"Okay," Mu smiled and nodded, "You have done a good job yourself, you don't need my kind words, Boyer will appreciate you." ”

"Where, where," President Bard said politely as he sent Mu out of the Chamber of Commerce. In the small square outside the door, Mu's men were already loading the iron ingots.

"It's a shame that you can get these iron ingots at such a low price. Aigna sighed, "Even I, the ignorant one, can see it." ”

"Hmph, networking is a necessary part of doing business. Mu said proudly.

"Do you know this fat man well?" asked Agna.

"No, I'm familiar with Rodraboye. ”

Hearing this, Aigna quickly figured out the joint. Glaring, she looked at her boss, "Could it be that he... ”

"That's right," Mu smiled, "he is the shipwrecked knight I rescued back then." ”

This brings us to the old days. Rodrapoye was the third son of his family, and theoretically could not have inherited his father's title anyway. However, when his eldest brother Maligaboe became a knight because of his exploits, it was all possible. Virgia is primogeniture, but for the sake of the family's prosperity, their father is not ready to let the eldest son come back to inherit his title, so the inheritance falls to the second son.

However, the second son was not a good stubble, and in order to completely eliminate the threat of inheritance, he killed his younger brother, that is, Rodra, causing him to be separated from his wife for a time, and he became a wandering knight, and then was taken in by Mu.

However, the main god of Virgia, Orodin, obviously doesn't like to play conspiracy, and when Mu's caravan has been working for almost two years, Rodra suddenly receives news from an old servant that his father and second brother have both died on the battlefield, and there is a huge family business waiting for him to inherit.

Rodra, who inherited the title of Boyer, was grateful for Mu's help at that time, so he gave Mu a big discount. Therefore, Mu Neng got cheap iron from Kulau, and got cheap salt through connections in Kugit. Mu Hetan, who started the salt and iron trade, couldn't make money, and since then, Mu's caravan has developed rapidly, not only forming several caravans, but also establishing a trading house, and instantly becoming a new star in the Karad shopping mall! In this way, the relationship between the two is even closer.

"You're really lucky," Aigna touched her nose, a little envious. Salt and iron trade, no matter what era it is, is a lucrative business, and it just fell into the hands of this boss, no wonder this guy has such strong financial resources!

"Have you found a place to live, though?" the knight thought for a moment, and suddenly poured a basin of cold water on his boss.

"Don't worry," Mu smiled mysteriously, "the residence will come to us soon." ”

Before the words fell, a luxuriously decorated carriage stopped in front of Mu, and a well-dressed old gentleman walked down and bowed respectfully to Mu,

"Dear Mr. Mu, the host has prepared a banquet and sincerely invites you to go there. ”

"It's really troublesome," Mu was polite, but his body was not polite at all, and he quickly climbed into the carriage, "Come on, Agna, you are also a nobleman, and you are qualified to participate in this kind of banquet." ”

The knightess sighed, "Did you forget about the one-eyed dragons?"

"Please rest assured, Miss. The old servant turned to the knightess and said, "Someone will take them to stay in their master's barracks, as has always been the case." ”

"Then, Bandak, go find the Cyclops and them, someone will settle you. Mu said.

The Godeye Sniper nodded silently, he was just a civilian.

The carriage passed through the walls and finally slowly drove into the castle. The two of them, guided by the servant, entered a richly decorated hall. Although Roland's family is a Virgian nobleman, it is also a Virgian nobleman who was more serious in Ruier's canonization back then, so the interior decoration is very Swadiaan, and of course, it also has the rugged style of Virgia. Just like the interior of the hall, although the walls are covered with banners, they still maintain the texture of stone tiles, and the thick stone pillars are lit with blazing torches. There is also a stone fireplace on the far wall, which brings rare warmth to the chilly hall. There was no carpet in the hall, except for a long square table in the center of the hall, which was close to the end of the fireplace, where two people were already seated. One of them looked to be almost fifty years old, his smiling face wrinkled, and above all, the Mediterranean Sea above his head did not match his muscular aristocratic robe. To his left, there sat a young man who was slightly older than Mu, and unlike the middle-aged man, who was smiling, although he also maintained a proper smile on his face, he looked preoccupied.

When the middle-aged man saw Mu and Aigna walking in, the smile on his face became even stronger, and he hurriedly greeted, "Mr. Mu, welcome, welcome, this time it's a little later than before." ”

Mu also smiled, "It's not a damn war yet, that bastard of Haraus suddenly came over when I was still in Viruga, no, I had to run to Djerkhara to avoid the trouble for a while." ”

"Alas, when it comes to war, it's really fatal. The middle-aged man continued, "Although there has been a truce with Kugit a long time ago, just in case, I only came back from the front line last week, and we are on a par with the Kujitts on our side, but I seem to have heard that Dehrim's side lost?"

"Yes, street fighting has never fought the Nords. Mu shrugged.

"I really don't know which idiot commanded the battle, and sent so many excellent fighters for nothing. The middle-aged man said angrily, but quickly sorted out his emotions again, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mu, I'm smiling." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I quite understand the feeling. Mu waved his hand and said, "It's like a business that I did with all my heart, but it suddenly collapsed at the last moment." ”

"Haha, that's a good analogy!" the middle-aged man laughed, then looked at Agna, "By the way, you haven't introduced it yet, who is this lady?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Mu stood up and introduced to the middle-aged man, "This is Agna, the noble daughter of Svadia, who is currently serving as a guard in my caravan. ”

Then he turned to Agna, "This is Roland de Boyer, who introduced you to him." ”

Agna bent her knees slightly and bowed to Boyer. At this time, Aigna had already shed her heavy armor and changed into a simple leather short suit, but she still had the ancestral sword pinned to her waist, and she looked heroic.

Rodraboye looked at the female knight, and suddenly understood, and looked at Mu intriguingly and said, "It seems that you have found another potential stock." ”

Mu smiled and shrugged, changed the subject, and said, "Presumably, this one next to you is your son." ”

"Sir, good eyesight. Rodrapoye laughed, "He's the dog Marmon." ”

Ma Moon immediately stood up and gave a noble understanding to the merchant who was younger than him. Although Mu's family has declined, it is also from a noble background, so there is nothing wrong with this move.

After a little more talking, the servants brought a sumptuous dinner to the long table, and apart from the fact that Mamuen was still preoccupied, it could be regarded as a pleasure for the guests and the hosts. After the dishes on the table were basically eaten, Boyer announced the end of the meeting. The servants moved the long table out of the hall, laid out a fur blanket by the fireplace, and then set up two large armchairs with fur padding, and a plain low table, and then the old servant himself served a pot of warm light fruit wine and two wooden cups.

Roland beckoned Mu to sit down, and then said to his son, "You go back to the room first, I have something to talk about with Mr. Mu." Ma Muen retreated respectfully, but his eyes staring at Mu were a little hostile.

Mu also said to Aigna dryly, "You should go back first, Boye is very well guarded here, and there will be no accidents." Agna didn't talk nonsense, and after asking where her room was, she turned and left.

Watching the two walk away, Roland spoke first, "Your guards are very competent, at least much better than I was back then." ”

Mu smiled lightly, "Isn't she, she's a self-proclaimed knight." ”

"I see," Roland nodded, "Actually, I've never been very interested in the knighthood of Swadia, but now, it seems that it is quite good." ”

"Of course," Mu picked up the flask and filled it for the two of them, "This kind of guy with a tendon is better to deceive." ”

After saying that, the two toasted each other and laughed.

Mu filled the two of them again, and said, "You left me behind this time, I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed." I've been around Kulau today, and everything is working so well that I can't suggest anything for improvement. ”

"Can't old friends talk?" Roland repuked, but admitted, "I do need your advice on some things, but not a matter of territory, but of family." ”

"Oh?"

"I hope you can convince Miss Aigna to marry my son. ”

Poof! Mu squirted a sip of wine into the fireplace. These two men were unaware of her conspiracy. She just practiced her swordsmanship in the open space of the castle according to her own habits. The elegant long sword fluttered in the air, splitting the wind, and the sword light bathed in the moonlight, sprinkling shadows on the snow. This is her favorite moment of the day, not worrying about possible assassinations, not worrying about the future destination, and immersing her mind in swordsmanship wholeheartedly, forgetting all her worries. Finally, when she felt a little tired, she simply put her sword back into its sheath, picked up a towel, and wiped the sweat off her cheeks. Vigia is no better than Swadia here, and the sweat on his face may be frozen at any time.

Just as she put on her leather coat again and was about to take a shower, a figure crept past her perspective. She immediately turned her head and saw a figure crawling out of the dry drain in the castle. Aigna frowned, lifted her scabbard and rushed forward. The man heard the obvious footsteps, and just poked his head out of the ditch, and before he could see the comer, he received a heavy blow to the head, screamed, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Aigna turned the man over, and finally saw the man's face clearly in the moonlight, and couldn't help but exclaim,

"Mamoon?"

。。。。。。

When Ma Muen regained consciousness, he only felt a sharp pain in his forehead, and then the long-lost feeling of dizziness came back to his heart. He sat up with his forehead covered, and realized that his head was already covered with strips of cloth, and then he remembered that he had been attacked. He was about to look around, but found the female knight brought by the merchant standing beside him.

The female knight saw that he was awake and said, "You are awake." ”

"I... What's wrong with me, who... Who attacked me?"

Seeing that he was not conscious, Aigna had to sigh and explain, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mamuen, I just thought you were a spy, so I took some... Well... Necessary measures. ”

Ma Muen touched his forehead and smiled bitterly, then stood up and continued to walk towards the ditch.

"What are you doing here?" asked the knight suddenly.

"Private matters. Mamuen replied briefly.

Aigna frowned, "You're leaving the castle?"

"Yes. Mamuen gritted his teeth

"It's not safe even in the city at night. Aigna said, "I'll go with you." ”

"I said," Ma Moon raised his voice slightly, "this is my private business!"

"I know. Aigna replied, "But since I have received the grace of food and lodging, I will naturally have to repay it." Even in the city, it can be dangerous at night, something I've experienced many times with my boss. So, I think my swordsmanship can come in handy for your actions. ”
