When Ota enters her mother Avril's pharmacy, she immediately senses that something is wrong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw Avril looking at the person in front of her with an angry face, and opposite her, there was a middle-aged man with a big belly, beautifully dressed and arrogant, who turned his head to look at Ota after hearing the sound of footsteps.

"Otta, my son, you're back safely...... " Avril called out happily and ran over to take Ota in her arms.

"Mom, I'm fine, don't you think it's okay?" Ota hurriedly comforted, then glanced at the middle-aged man with a proud expression, and asked:

"What happened, what did this person want to do?"

Without waiting for Avril to speak, the middle-aged man said with a smile: "When I entered the village, I heard that a young man named Orta killed the witch by luck, which led to the current prosperous situation of Xiluo Village, and today it seems that he is indeed a young warrior." ”

Avril secretly glanced at her when she let go of Otta, and then said, "This lord is a big man in the city-state, and he is also the agent of the Three White Kings Medicine Store in the city-state of Kurgea, Marquis of Lemont. ”

Ota glanced at him in surprise, and intuitively found that this Marquis of Lemont was an ordinary person at all, with almost no combat power, such a person could not even become a knight, how could he become a marquis.

In fact, how would the simple Ota know that today's human race is no longer the same as before, and the knights of that era were very respected, and they strictly abided by the knightly code and had noble beliefs, so they got the title by virtue of real merit.

And today's Terrans are corrupt and degenerate, and Orta may not even know as much as a dime. Because businessmen can exchange donations for construction merits, the more they donate, the greater the merits, that is, the richer they are, the more they are valued by the royal family.

Since you can get meritorious deeds by donating money, you can naturally exchange them for knighthoods and even buy territories. And all the people, fields, and cattle in the territory belong to him, and he can collect his own taxes, trade slaves, and kill him, and as long as he is not cruel enough to provoke rebellion, and has no thoughts about the royal family, his title and territory will not be deprived by the royal family.

Therefore, although the Marquis of Lemont in front of him has no combat power, he is indeed a marquis, because he is a merchant and has an inextricable relationship with a prince.

He didn't see Avril glaring at Orta, nor did he hear anything wrong with her introduction, but he just nodded slightly and said:

"The conditions I gave are already very generous, fifty silver coins in a small place like this is already very high, if it weren't for the fact that Xiluo Village is the territory of Lord Xia Rui, and you are the sister of Aina, the captain of the demon slayer in this village, I can even use the requisition order to get this medicine shop without spending a penny. ”

Avril said without a trace of expression on her cold face, "So, I still have to thank you, don't I?"

"Not necessarily. Lemmon said with a smile on his lips, a playful expression on his face.

Ou Ta understood, it turned out that this Marquis of Lemont came for this medicine shop, and the name of the Three White Kings Medicine Store was the second time he had heard of it in just one morning, not only was it very big, but it also seemed to be very domineering and arrogant.

"I'll get an answer by tomorrow morning at the latest, and goodbye to Ms. Avril. The Marquis de Lemont nodded slightly, then looked at Orta, and said:

"I have heard from the Marquis of Will that you have been promoted to knight under his auspices, but have rejected the offer to join his army, young man, I would like to remind you here, that you must know that you are grateful. With that, he left.

"Hmph, this Lemmon dog is a powerful man, relying on his good relationship with the Marquis of Will, and he even took the requisition order to forcibly expropriate the shop, and your uncle Aina happened to be here, so this Lemmon changed his mind and bought it for fifty silver coins. I don't know if Aina went to report this to the lord or not, but he was really anxious. Avril said anxiously at the moment.

Ota shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's useless, the territory of the Guards in the camp has been forcibly requisitioned by him, and Lord Xia Rui only got three small bottles of new potions, as for this shop, I think the lord is more than enough and not enough, let's find another way." ”

Avril fell silent, she also heard a little about what Ota said, when the instructor came yesterday, in addition to comforting her not to worry too much about Otta's affairs, he also informed her brother Aina to resume his military status, and even the young men in the reserve joined the Guard.

Regarding the origin of the Three White Kings Medicine Shop, the instructor also said something briefly, and his face was full of helplessness. At that time, Avril only thought about the safety of Ota so she didn't care too much, but she didn't expect that only one day later, this Three White Kings Medicine Store came to the door.

"Then what should we do? If even the lord can't help us, we can only watch the pharmacy be taken away, and I will definitely agree with it before the fifty silver coins are exchanged, but now, this money is only a month's profit of my pharmacy. Avril said unwillingly.

Ota pondered, although this Marquis of Lemon has no combat power, but after all, he has a knighthood, and ordinary people can't harm themselves if they don't have a crime, let alone a marquis, once it is revealed, he will be hanged. Besides, he is already a knight, how can he attack a person who has no combat effectiveness, no, he must not do this, Ota vetoed it as soon as he had a thought.

Ota was immediately a little surprised by his thoughts.

Although the other party's power is extremely powerful, this matter is not easy to solve, but you can't immediately think of using brutal killing to solve the problem, this is not a good phenomenon, is it related to the fact that I have been hunting orcs for a while now, which has caused a change in my mentality, or is it ...... After absorbing the magic bead again, he became more murderous?

Ota pondered in silence, unable to find the reason for a moment.

"Otta, Otta, what are you thinking?" Aina and the instructor walked in, and when she saw that Ota didn't even notice, Aina asked loudly.

Ota hurriedly stood up and covered up a few words, and Aina and the instructor didn't care too much about asking more, after all, Ota disappeared for two days before coming back, and he must be very tired, and now he will inevitably be distracted when he encounters such a thing.

The instructor said straight to the point: "Lord Xia Rui means that this pharmacy will sell it to him, but he will get you a price of one gold coin, and Avril can do some other business in the future, and the pharmacy business will not be done again." ”

"Why?" the other three asked in unison.

The instructor smiled bitterly and said, "Just now Lemon sent someone to send a letter to the lord, saying that he would completely integrate the pharmacy business here, and also said that this is the decision of the Three White Kings, please ask the lord not to interfere, and at the same time remind the lord not to have any conflict with him in the pharmacy industry." ”

"He's too domineering, he can only do the pharmaceutical industry, and everyone else has to change careers and can't touch it, he ......" Avril said angrily.

Aina looked up to the sky and sighed, but shook his head helplessly, and said: "It's really overwhelming, how did this world become like this, these people we desperately protect actually rode to our necks to make a threat, I really want to ...... with a knife"

"What nonsense?" the instructor broke off and stopped Aina.

The murderous intent that Orta had suppressed before was eager to try again, but soon he became alert, took a deep breath and calmed down before asking, "Who the hell is that Three White Kings, who is so big that he can order Lord Xia Rui not to interfere. ”

The instructor hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "The Three White Kings are His Royal Highness Taylor, the Three White Kings Medicine Store is when he was studying at the Imperial City Noble Academy, he used his identity to form this guild that sells medicines as the main business, I heard that there are many noble children who have the funds to join, it can be said that this is a huge aristocratic group, and the lords of such forces can only retreat." ”

"What if the Marquis of Lemont took it upon himself to borrow the name of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and deceive everywhere and take advantage of it?" Avril was still a little unwilling, so she said very excitedly.

The instructor made a gesture to calm her down, and said: "I'd rather believe it than believe it, if he really has the three princes to support him, then none of us will have a good life, after all, we don't live here alone, you have Otta, Aina has Ellie, they still have a long way to go in the future, we can't cause trouble for them." ”

The instructor's voice paused and then continued: "Lord Xia Rui has a life-saving grace for me, if he hadn't repeatedly blocked and enlightened me, I would... Ahem..."The instructor coughed suddenly, and did not continue to say the rest of the words.

But how could Ota not know what he wanted to say, on the way back just now, all kinds of rumors in the camp had given him a general understanding of the whole thing, and at this moment, he encountered it himself, so he understood more in his heart that this world was not as pure and peaceful as he imagined.

Just as Avril was sitting down, Orta suddenly said, "Since he said he would answer tomorrow morning, there is still one night, maybe he will change his mind." ”

"It's ...... What do you mean?"

Just when a few people were stunned, Ota left the pharmacy under the pretext that he was very tired and needed to rest.

"Since we can't kill him, it seems that we can only try other means. At the moment of going out, Ota said secretly after a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

As usual, Ota continued to repair armor and weapons at Leo's blacksmith's shop, and practiced a thousand forges with ordinary iron ore, and only returned to his residence after seeing that it was late at night after seeing that the moonlight was already underway.

Ota lay on the bed and rested for a moment, exhausted after recovering from the white light. When he was in the blacksmith's shop, he already felt a huge increase in strength, but he had no idea how far he had grown.

So he took advantage of Leo's absence to test it with the large iron trough in the house that contained iron ore. The tank was more than four times larger than the water stored outside the house, and it was full of iron ore.

Ota made a rough estimate, and it looked like three or four thousand catties. Because the trough was too big to hold with its arms outstretched, Orta walked to the middle of the trough, supported the bottom of the iron trough with both arms, and lifted it above his head with a sharp force, wanting to see how long it could last, but after hearing Leo's footsteps, Orta immediately put it down, turned around and picked up the hammer and went to beat it again.

During the whole process, his face did not change color, and he did not look out of breath at all.

In this way, Ota also probably knows how much strength he has, his arms should be easy to add up to three thousand catties, four thousand catties is not a big problem, and any more will be a little difficult and not last.

But the problems that followed also appeared, that is, because the strength grew too fast, so that the strength was not accurate when forging, and there were often light and heavy things, and it seemed that it was necessary to adapt as soon as possible.
