The trade with the elves was successful, and the needs of all districts on both sides were happy.

William took the mercenary group and temporarily settled in the elven station.

A day or two later, they said goodbye to the elves and pushed a few carriages full of gems and rough stones back to the Sea Man Province of the Holy Spirit Empire.

Especially when it came to the dense forest where Feveries was, everyone made a tacit detour and would never go thousands of kilometers away from the dense forest.

This trade was not only successful, but also opened up a new trade route in disguise. If you do business again in the future, you will not encounter any danger if you walk along this painful new trade route.

At the beginning, it took almost two full months to set off from Haiman Province and arrive at the elven station. When I came back, the time was significantly shortened because of the relevant experience.

A month and a half later, they carried a large number of gem rough stones, crossed the Giant Stone City Pass on the border of the Empire, and returned to the Yuanxin Water City of Haimanxing Province.

As soon as the caravan returned, in the study of the Duke's Palace, William met with several gem merchants that Crean had already contacted.

William took out a few rough gemstones and placed them in his study. When the gem merchants saw it, they were immediately stunned.

The quality of the rough stones that William took out was not ordinarily high. There are even very few rough mines of such high quality in the Holy Spirit Empire.

After the gem merchant had seen the rough stones, William invited them out of his study. The next thing will be represented by Crean, who will negotiate the corresponding price with several gem merchants, etc.

For days, Crean was busy negotiating.

Dodora shared the affairs of the Duke's Palace, and William was not as busy as he used to be. Now that the operation of Watertown is on track, William has fewer and fewer things to do every day.

......

In the year 757 of the Holy Spirit Empire, midsummer.

In the scorching summer, the sun is scorching overhead, and many people feel unbearable heat.

Some wealthy nobles and lords of the Holy Spirit Empire opened the ice cellar one after another and took out ice cubes to cool off. Or directly use the magic device ice maker, which creates a lot of ice cubes.

Orders for beer were sent like snowflakes to the lord's house in the sunset town of Kuwait.

The beer sales of the Rester family have skyrocketed again. All the breweries owned by the Lester family are like huge money-collecting machines, and they are all in operation.

Compared with beer, the sales of other rum, ale, sake and other alcoholic beverages have ushered in a considerable decline.

The gold coins rolled in, half of them falling into the hands of the Lester family, and half of them falling into the hands of the young master Lei Ao of the Monro family.

Perhaps because of the light, in the Mengluo family, Lei Ao's status has risen more and more, and the limelight has directly overshadowed the two elder brothers, and he is quite valued by the Grand Duke of Mengluo.

Leo also increasingly discovered the importance of a good relationship with William.

On this day, he traveled thousands of miles to the south, left the imperial capital of Canaan Province, and came to Haiman Province with many rare and expensive gifts.

William got the news and personally led his men and horses to meet him on a huge dock in the center of the water city.

As soon as Lei Ao got off the boat, he looked quite familiar. While talking cordially with William, he looked in amazement at the miraculous water city in front of him that he had heard countless times but had never really seen.

Overhead, the first thing that catches your eye is the willow hanging down from the towering ancient trees. Riding in a small boat, shuttling through the narrow and wide crowded water alleys, Lei Ao raised his eyes to look at the various novel buildings on the shore, and was amazed.

"Brother William, your water city is really well built. The first time I saw it, I fell in love with the style. And it's so cool in summer. The province of Canaan is now almost hot to death, like standing in a fire and barbecuing, sweating profusely. ”

Leo Monro said with great admiration.

When William heard this, he smiled and nodded.

Unlike other provinces of the Holy Spirit Empire, the people of Haiman Province do not feel too much heat in the hot summer due to their geographical environment.

Of course, the heat is still somewhat hot, but relatively speaking.

It's like I've never seen so many interesting things in my life.

He sat in a small boat with William, looking back at a bard singing in the streets. Not only was I attracted by the unique husky voice of the bard, but also by the group of girls who surrounded the bard.

It wasn't until the boat had left a lot, and the distant scene had turned into a small black dot, that Leo Monro turned around.

He pointed in a puzzled look and asked, "What are you doing over there?"

William replied with a smile: "There is a horse farm over there, and many people come to watch it every day, and it is very lively. ”

When Young Master Lei Ao heard this, he immediately became interested. He pulled William, parked the boat aside, and the two went ashore and walked directly towards the football venue.

At this moment, there are quite a lot of people in the racecourse, and the shouts and cheers are overshadowing the waves, and the voices are full of people.

As soon as William and the two came, a sharp-eyed staff member saw that the two were dressed extraordinarily, like nobles, and immediately respectfully found two seats.

Sitting in this position, looking down at the spacious runway below, I saw that more than a dozen knights were all ready to fight, waiting for the referee to give an order and start the game.

On the back of each steed, on the body of the knight, there is a rather conspicuous number, ranging from one to a dozen, and so on.

"Eight, eight, eight!"

Next to William and the others, a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of face was sitting. He clutched the ticket in his hand, looked excited, and whispered softly.

This is known as betting on horses. Bet on which horse will be the first to finish or on the horse's position. Young Master Lei Ao didn't know why, so William explained to him softly.

When Lei Ao heard this, he was full of interest, stretched out his hand to summon the staff on the side, and also bought the No. 8 horse.

It was at this time that a firework was lit by the referee, and with a 'boom', it rushed into the sky and burst open.

The competition has officially begun.

In the audience at the racecourse, many people stood up excitedly and shouted loudly the numbers represented by horses and knights.

Lei Ao was also infected by the audience's enthusiasm, and shouted loudly with the middle-aged man beside him, "Eight, eight, eight!"

Lei Ao shouted very happily, but the result was disappointing.

Horse No. 8 was still far ahead, but when he was about to reach the finish line, horse No. 13 suddenly overtook him.

This is not over, the ninth horse is also like a stimulant, and suddenly rushes forward......

In the end, the No. 8 horse, which was the focus of Leo, finished in third place.

Lei Ao was annoyed, slapped his thigh, called the staff, and exchanged the horses to see how many gold coins he could get.

The staff respectfully took Lei Ao to the podium, and after a while, he came back, looking stunned, as if he hadn't turned around yet.

William asked aloud, "How many gold coins did you just buy?"

"I bought a thousand gold coins, and he gave me back a hundred gold coins. The remaining nine hundred gold coins are gone?" Lei Ao said stunned.

William laughed in surprise when he heard this.
