Walter knew that he would touch the nail, looked at Lancelot with a smile, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Frederick, you are too good at calling people, aren't you afraid of exhausting one of your generals?"

"Walter, you are going to be the treasurer, you want nothing more than to open up the inland market, dumping the cotton and products you have brought from the sea. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Frederick picked up the brooch of the treasurer from the box held by the butler, and stroked it: "Since we want to be mutually beneficial and win-win, the resources of your water city should also be used by me, right?" When Fort William trades with Watertown, you're going to get a 20% discount for me. It's a breeze for you, right?"

Walter reached for the brooch, but Frederick held it up. Walter squinted at Frederick: "You blue fox who loves money like life, even old friends have to pluck their feathers!"

"Now half of the citizens of Mingxing City have become employees of Fort William - I have to take my own profits, I can't go bankrupt yet, and of course I have to scavenge profits from neighboring countries to feed the citizens. Frederick didn't talk nonsense to the fat man, and said softly: "Please, the 20% internal discount will greatly promote the trade between Shuicheng and Mingxingcheng." When I unify Bafaria, the water city will usher in a huge sales market, and your status in the water city will also rise. Come on, you know it's a good business that doesn't make a profit. ”

"Okay okay, 20% off, I promise you. Give me that damn brooch. In a fit of rage, Walter snatched the steward's brooch and spurred Frederick bluntly: "You promised me to unify Bafaria and let all the stingy nobles come and buy my cotton." If you were to be exterminated by anyone before I could make real money, I would have dug up your grave. Really, even if I were too bankrupt to afford a hoe, I would have dug your grave with my dexterous hands. ”

Frederick closed the ledger in Lancelot's arms, picked it up and handed it to Walter, and then walked away: "If you earn me enough money to arm the Knights, how can I be exterminated by anyone? ”

Walter glared at Frederick's back and snorted, then turned to look at Lancelot, "Then the Chief Knight, it's clear that you don't like me—but what does it matter? ”

Lancelot's golden eyebrows furrowed in disgust, and he gritted his teeth in criticism: "Your attitude towards the Count is too rude......"

"Oh, oh, scolding each other is my way of showing affection to the Earl, you just get used to it......" Walter muttered a few pages of the ledger, walked over to Lancelot, suddenly raised his head, tilted his head and said to himself: "Yes, are you used to it, my business? I just like the way you look like you don't like me, but you have to build Bafaria with me." ”

Lancelot's teeth clenched, and he was about to be blown up by the profligate treasurer.

Walter stroked Lancelot's shoulder armor with a round slap and teased the upright knight casually: "Just kidding, let's take over the business." Please advise me in the future, and welcome to check the accounts. ”

Lancelot huffed, "I'll keep an eye on you, and it's best not to let me see the fake accounts." I don't believe you'll serve the Count loyally. ”

"Oh, Lancelot, you don't know much about merchants...... In order to achieve a higher social status, I will select the best forces to inject capital and be faithful to my judgment. Walter walked to Lancelot's office with great ambition, and as he looked through the ledger, he said to himself meaningfully: "And I see it very clearly: only the ambition of your master can fulfill my Walter's ambition." The day he pointed his sword at the mainland was the time when my name went down in history. ”

――――――――――

In the depths of the Fort William training ground, there is a spacious but dark room called the Dogma Training Center, which is a special training place to help the Knight Van Knight awaken his liver and improve his strength. After the knights got used to the cultivation life, this is also the place where they recharge their weapons.

Lancelot spent the afternoon handing over the finances with Walter, eating a little cabbage and potatoes with a high uranium content, and then went to the dogma camp to wait for the count.

When Frederick finished his dinner and stepped into the dark dogma camp, Lancelot was sweating profusely in front of the charging workbench, biting his bandage to draw his own blood.

"Shall I help you?" said Frederick, who had been trained in first aid and was still very good at drawing blood.

"No, I don't. Lancelot skillfully bit the bandage and tightened his arm, patted the green veins, and stabbed the fire-roasted needle straight down, and then the needle was picked, and the red blood trickled down the rubber tube into the clear, round-bottomed flask.

"Have you worked?" Frederick saw Lancelot's cotton vest soaked with sweat, revealing his toned and beautiful bronze muscles.

"I did 4 sets of extreme weightlifts, so that the secretion of combat hormones was more vigorous, and the liver was stimulated, which can increase the concentration of 'fire element' in the blood. Lancelot took half of the flask of blood, his lips were a little pale, carefully pulled out the blood drawing needle, pressed it hard, and casually threw the blood drawing needle into the alcohol to soak and disinfect it.

There are a variety of bottles and cans on the workbench, and all kinds of solutions and reagents are sealed, because the room is dim, so it is more convenient for these solutions to be stored for a long time. Lancelot's fingers slid over the bottles, counted to the fourth, picked them up, uncapped them, and carefully injected the reagents into the flask containing the blood.

"What is this?" asked Frederick.

"Distilled water. Lancelot filled the flask with water, holding a pale pink bottle of blood and shaking: "Distilled water destroys the cells in the blood and completely releases the 'fire element' into the water. ”

Frederick nodded. He had studied the Sanskrit texts at Wiener Theological Seminary and knew that human cells could absorb water and burst.

While doing the "hemolysis treatment", Lancelot raised his chin to Frederick: "Your Highness, I have adjusted the barbell for you." You start by doing four warm-up exercises to activate the tissues, and then you start awakening training. ”

Frederick went to lift weights nervously. Although he was slender and thin, his physical fitness was basically passable, and he gave up after reaching the third group of weightlifting, sat up and sweated profusely to rest.

Lancelot had already filtered the pink blood and discarded the residue to get a vial of reddish plasma. Then he adjusted a few more bottles of reagents, mixed out a little green solution, carefully dripped into the plasma, and shook it lightly, and a pale pink precipitate precipitated out, which suddenly clouded the entire conical cup.

"What are you doing?" said Frederick, curious, and did not stop without asking.

"Extract the fire element from the blood. Lancelot gently shook the conical cup and concentrated: "The turbid sediment in here is the precipitated fire element crystals. It contains powerful energy, a crystal the size of a grain of salt, contains the abundant energy that can make the power sword swing a hundred times. ”
