Jack. Kennelly stopped in front of the magic caravan and turned his head to squint at Harvey. Baron Gophilo said: "But your leather dealer does not have enough supplies, and I wonder when the goods that should have been on the counter will be replenished?" ”

His skin was a little too fair, and when his eyes were slightly narrowed, his pupils looked like they could stand up, which was said to be due to the fact that the southerners had a mixture of lizard blood.

Harvey. Gopphil, apparently ignorant of the family's leather business, turned to look at the store manager behind him.

The manager hurriedly stepped forward, and in Harvey. Baron Gophilo whispered in his ear: "The Gophilo family has a trading firm in all of you that specializes in the purchase of leather, but the recent frequent accidents on the plane have caused the delivery of leather to be delayed again and again......"

The two of them boarded the magic caravan, which was still parked on the side of the road, and there was no hurry to leave.

The manager and employees of the Gophilo family's leather shop waited by the carriage.

Jack. Kennelly said to Harvey in a relaxed tone: "Regarding the trade in leather, I can pay some deposit in advance, or we can also offset it with the payment for the first batch of wheat flour, the wheat brought from the family is about to arrive in Bena City, this time we will send out five batches of wheat flour one after another, which should total a total of 200,000 tons, and these grains can support an army of 500,000 people for a whole year, provided that I need to see the Gophilo family and the Bena Legion food supply agreement, otherwise such a large amount of wheat, Without a huge sales network, it is simply impossible to sell in time! ”

Jack leaned against the soft leather sofa in the carriage, picked up a glass of ice wine, and said: "Harvey, since we are friends, there are some things that we can't help but remind you that once such a large amount of grain can't be disposed of, it will sprout and sprout in the middle of summer next year, I don't mean to despise the Gophilo family, but I need you to prove to me your sales ability." ”

Harvey, who was sitting opposite, gritted his teeth and said patiently: "Since the family wants to obtain the Kennelli family's agency of wheat flour in Bena Province, it means that we have the ability to sell this batch of wheat flour, and there are twenty windmill mills in the farm outside our city, which can peel and mill wheat, and we can also apply to the House of Representatives of Bena Province to reduce the trade tax and the inter-provincial local agricultural protection tax, so that we can continue to maintain a low selling price, and the grain trade will be profitable." This is also the profit point that our grain business can see! ”

He waved his hand and said confidently: "I will go to the tax office tomorrow to deliver the application, and this matter is not difficult to operate." ”

Jack took a sip of wine, pushed the window open, looked at the leather dealer outside the window, and said: "Otherwise, we should do the leather trade first, and it will not be difficult to obtain the agency of the Kennelly family's wheat flour, and the letter of intent can be signed at any time, but I am afraid that you will not be able to eat such a big piece of cake!" On the contrary, the leather trade was more profitable, and the Kennelly family's purchasing power for leather came from 2,000 cavalrymen, 2,000 longbowmen, and 6,000 hoplites, from 100,000 native slaves, and both military tons of leather armor and agricultural tools required a large amount of leather. ”

Harvey frowned, glanced at the leather shop outside the window, and sighed: "At present, the family's leather business is affected by factors such as the plane war, and it will take a few months to recover at the earliest, so I don't want to wait here......"

Jack. Kennelly said unhurriedly, "Unless...... Can you determine the annual volume of wheat flour traded...... Baron Harvey! I think you might want to discuss this with Count Gophilo first. ”

"As for the wheat flour trade, I can decide that I am currently in charge of the family business, and that wheat flour has a great ......market in Bena," Harvey explained earnestly to Jack Kennelly.

Jack. Kennelly interrupted him: "Harvey, you may not realize how much 200,000 tons of wheat is, and that wheat may blow up all the warehouses at the Bena Airport Terminal!" ”

While the two were talking, a butler rode from the corner of the street, came to the carriage, hurriedly boarded the carriage, saluted the two nobles, and stuck to Jack. Kennelly's ear whispered, "Young Master, Count Quentin has already received an order for wheat, and as long as we send wheat to Epson City, we will be paid four silver coins for each ton of wheat." ”

Jack. Kennelly frowned, and said angrily, "This guy is stumped to know how high the cost of freight is now?" I wrote to him about it, and I would not ship a grain of wheat to Epson unless I could pay for our freight. ”

He hesitated slightly, lowered his voice, and said, "Write a letter to the family at once...... No, it's better for you to go back in person, tell your father that the second batch of wheat shipped here will stop for a while, and then find five airships to vacate next month's schedule, and I will fly to Epson City tomorrow and meet Quentin in person. Bussman talks. ”

The butler agreed: "Okay, young master! Then he walked out of the carriage quickly.

The sound of the conversation between the two was small, but it still reached Harvey's ears.

There was a sudden silence in the carriage, and after a while, Jack. Kennelly said to Harvey: "Baron Harvey, I'm afraid that the time of acting for wheat flour will be put on hold for the time being, and I will rush back to the family to deal with some affairs." ”

"Jack, are you leaving Pena City?" Harvey was a little panicked, he had been actively preparing for a collaboration with the Kennelly family recently, but now it seems that Jack. Kennelly has a better partner – Quentin. Bussman.

The first heir to the Bussman family, far from being comparable to his little baron, Harvey looked at Jack with a dejected expression. Kennelly.

Jack. Kennelly owed a little and said apologetically to him, "I'm sorry, Harvey, but I have to take into account the interests of the Kennelly family in this matter. ”

With that said, Jack. Kennelly stepped out of the carriage and walked briskly with a few of his attendants to a magic caravan behind him, which sped away from Rossi's leather shop.

Harvey sat in the carriage and thought for a while, then instructed the coachman, "Go back to the manor......"

The magic caravan sped off the street and disappeared into the intersection ahead.

……

Across the street, Surdak sitting in a magic caravan did not expect to see such a wonderful scene, it was like a sitcom.

He didn't hear Jack. Kennelly whispered to the butler about the content, but he had seen this kind of drama a lot in his previous life, and he felt that this Jack. Baron Kennelly had a big problem.

Although it was only because of some similar plot that he had some bad associations, and there was no conclusive evidence, he saw that the butler and Jack. Kennelly's eyes seemed to be communicating as they talked.

After colonizing a dragon bone in his body, although Surdak's spiritual consciousness sea was completely destroyed, he unexpectedly completely fused the two souls into one, and he suddenly had a lot of memories of his previous life, and the spiritual consciousness sea was recovering rapidly, and his perception was much better than before.

His body has been significantly improved because of the integration of some dragon blood, and he can even casually recite those rune words, giving the elemental power to bless some rune words, and he feels that the power contained in these rune words is similar to the power of the knight's holy seal described in some books.

He felt that he should find time to visit some other knights who were in their prime, but he didn't have many friends in this area at the moment.

Surdak knocked on the window, and the coachman turned back to him and asked, "What do you command, Lord Baron?" ”

"Go to the Charr Tavern!" Surdak said.

"Yes, Lord Baron!" The coachman agreed.

After saying that, he raised his horsewhip and drove the carriage into the traffic on the street......

Arriving at the Charles Inn, he meets Sophia, who asks Sophia to investigate young Jack. Baron Kennelly, however, Sophia said that it would take at least a month for the Thieves' Guild to confirm the identity of a Southern Lord, and that the task of such an identity investigation would require a reward regardless of whether useful information was found.

Surdak immediately gave Sophia fifteen more gold coins, saying that no matter what the outcome, he wanted the thieves' union to conduct a follow-up investigation.

Except for Jack. In addition to Kennelly, he also wanted the thieves' union to send someone to investigate the butler's whereabouts.

……

Surdak returned to the inn from the tavern, got out of the carriage and walked into the lobby of the inn, just in time to see Harvey step out of the carriage of the magic caravan and hurry into the hotel.

Surdak simply sat down in the lounge area of the hotel lobby, found an unoccupied seat, asked the waiter for a cup of tea and a plate of dessert, and waited patiently to watch the show.

To this end, he even took a biography of the ranger from the bookshelf next to him, put it in front of his desk and casually flipped through a few pages.

He was a little absent-minded, and his eyes were always unconsciously aimed at the staircase of the hotel.

"Do you still like to watch this?"

An unfamiliar voice came from in front of him.

Surdak looked up, only to find that it was actually Lady Dorothy standing opposite, he didn't expect the other party to find him so quickly, he originally thought that it would take a little longer, and it would be better if he waited until he returned to the city of Highlandza.

But now that Mrs. Dorothy had caught him off guard, it was clear that the other party already knew.

He quickly stood up, and when he saw Lady Dorothy looking at him with a smirk, he followed Lady Dorothy's gaze to the table.

The page of the Ranger biography on the coffee table happened to be an illustration, and the content on it was a little 'wonderful', which seemed to describe the love story of the Ranger and a noblewoman.

Surdak closed the book with some embarrassment, he hadn't even had time to look at it.

Lady Dorothy curled her thin lips and asked Surdak, "Are you waiting?" ”

"Nope!" Surdak has not yet recovered from his embarrassment.

"You don't mind if I sit here for a while, do you?"

"Of course, you may be seated!"

Lady Dorothy sat down generously across from Surdak, and even took the Ranger biography from the coffee table and flipped a few pages with great interest.

It was very warm in the hall on the first floor of the hotel, and Mrs. Dorothy untied the white fox's fur shawl, revealing the delicate low-cut dress inside, and the white skin on her chest was a little dazzling.

"Shouldn't I say thank you?" Lady Dorothy asked Surdak with a smile.

"Well, where did you start?" Surdak could only pretend to be confused, he glanced around, but fortunately there was no one in this corner of the hall for the time being.

"I'm talking about the Dandelion Hotel......" said Mrs. Dorothy only and did not continue.

Seeing Lady Dorothy ask like this, Surdak said calmly: "Now that you know everything, what else do you want to know from me?" ”

Mrs. Dorothy tilted her head and said lightly, "I have a lot of doubts, so I want to talk to you in person." ”

Surdak spread out his hands a little helplessly, and said to Mrs. Dorothy with a sincere expression: "If I say that all this is just a coincidence, do you believe it?" ”

"What do you say?"

Surdak smiled bitterly, "But that's what I want to explain to you, I happened to be staying in the room on the third floor of that inn at the time, and I saw those people on the terrace...... I'm so sorry! I didn't give you a warning in advance. ”

Lady Dorothy said with a nonchalant expression: "Everything is in the past, and you don't need to be sorry, after all, you saved me!" ”

She paused, got up from the couch, and then said, "...... So, if there's anything I can do, feel free to come to me at the Newman family castle! ”

"Yes, ma'am!"

Surdak hurriedly stood up and saluted, and watched Lady Dorothy leave the hotel with two maids and four attendants.

……

At the staircase of the hall on the first floor of the hotel, several servants walked down from the second floor with large bags and small bags. Kennelly.

Dressed in a thick leather coat, a fur hat with a fur turn on his head, and a pair of thick leather boots on his feet, he said to Harvey, who looked a little depressed beside him, "Harvey, I'm sorry, I have to get out of here, I'm going over there to negotiate this for the Kennelly family...... Vital business! ”

Harvey. Gophilo looked up and grabbed Jack. Kennelly's shoulder, pleading, "Jack, you should see the sincerity of our Gophilo family, we want to make these wheat voices...... I know your concern that whether or not our Gophilo family can sell the wheat, we will pay for it in full! And I can also pay a deposit! ”

Jack stopped in front of the bar, stretched out his hand to stop the entourage from leaving the room, and asked Harvey seriously, "Harvey, do you really want to do this trade?" ”

"That's right, I want to do this and prove to my father that I'm capable." Harvey said very seriously.

"If you can guarantee that you will not harm the interests of the Kennelly family, I am willing to become a closer business partner with you!" Jack. Kennelly smiled and reached out and squeezed Harvey's hand tightly.

Harvey also said excitedly: "You don't have to worry about the sincerity of the Gophilo family at all, I will prepare this deposit in time!" ”
