To Safiya, Owens is like an older brother, like an older brother, he is gentle and reliable, and he is willing to protect everyone.

And Ngawang's eyes are blood-red, and in his heart, Owens has long been his big brother.

Several people were grief-stricken, but the whips in their hands did not slack off, and they galloped through the stars and nights, and finally returned to Uxhall.

At this time, the rookie Swadia recruit who was originally guarding the main gate changed his usual sleepy-eyed and sleepy appearance.

Now he was in good spirits, holding his breath, and saw his master Drasel from a distance, and immediately opened the gates of the city and greeted his master.

"Honorable Count Drassell, welcome back. The town is all right!

I was also taught by Captain Owens before that I stood guard seriously and didn't be lazy! ”

Drassell was expressionless and did not speak, and when he heard the words Owens again, his heart twitched again.

The rookie also seemed to realize that the master's state was wrong, and when he looked at the troops again, it seemed that there were many fewer people and heavy casualties.

Wrong...... Even Owens is gone......

Suddenly, the rookie was silent and closed his mouth tightly, but his eyes did not have the brilliance just now, and he continued to stand guard.

Soon, the group returned to the lord's hall, where the merchant Manid was reading a book and studying the way of doing business.

Seeing Draxle return, he stood up and went out to greet him.

"Baron, you're back. I have received news that our kingdom of Svadia has started a war with the Kugit Khanate, and this is a letter of order from the king. ”

After saying this, the merchant Manid presented a scroll in both hands, presumably the king's instructions, on which were written.

However, Draxel ignored him and threw the sacks of grape seeds that he carried around his waist into his arms.

"I've brought you something, and in three days, I'll see at least 10,000 dinars."

"Baron, maybe not so fast......"

"Just three days."

With that, Drassell didn't look back, went straight to his bedroom, and then slammed the door shut.

Faced with Drassell's temperament, the merchant Manid was also a second monk and was at a loss and didn't know what was going on.

Next, Safiya hugged the young dragon Wren, and Ngawang followed closely behind, and slowly returned.

The merchant Manid wanted to solve his doubts, so he asked, "What is wrong with him, Baron?" ”

"I don't want to talk, stay away from me."

Safiya also had a grim and cold look, shook off this sentence, and returned to her room with the young dragon Wren in her arms.

Ngawang also had a bad face, and he didn't say anything.

Turning around and hurried away, he returned to the rest place of the soldiers in the town.

Manid, the merchant, was in the same place again, waiting and wandering for a long time, and when Owens was nowhere to be seen, he understood......

He looked at the bags of grape seeds, which were still stained with blood.

"This is what Owens bought with his life, and I must succeed!" Manid, a businessman, secretly made up his mind to get into practice.

In the master bedroom of the hall of the lords, Drassell was lying motionless on the bed with a dead face, without life and fighting spirit.

【New Mission】

Defend your territory and try to defeat or capture the lords of the Kugit Khanate. 】

[Comment: This is the order of the Swadia Kingdom, the document in the hand of the merchant Manid, you don't need to look at it anymore.] 】

The system knew that he was extremely uncomfortable at this time, and his heart was like a knife, so he didn't say anything more and took the initiative to go offline.

This is the path he has to go, and on this continent, he needs to go through countless life and death partings, countless times his teammates have died.

Even his own death may be inevitable, but the first time this kind of thing happens, it is always so difficult to accept.

This night, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night......

When he woke up the next day, he was in his room and muttered, "Owens, I won't let you die in vain." ”

After a casual breakfast, Draxel regained his spirits and relieved his grief, and walked to Manid's room.

"Manid, I'm sorry, I was in a bad mood yesterday, now I've adjusted. But my requirements will not change, we only have three days. ”

Manid, the merchant, rose from his seat, nodded respectfully, and replied:

"Good morning, Count Drasel. I understand your urgency, the war has begun, and we must gather wealth and combat power as soon as possible. ”

"So, how is it going now?"

"I came up with the best solution, and half of these grape seeds were planted in our three villages.

The remaining half of the seeds are sold directly to other towns and fortresses in the kingdoms, which is the fastest way to monetize. ”

"Well, great idea. Tell me, how much can I make by planting myself, how long will I have to wait, and how much can I sell if I sell it directly? ”

"The income from the planting, I think you can take it together in the weekly levy, at least 2000 dinars more per week.

But you may not get the money for the first few weeks, and it will take time to get the vineyard grown. As for selling......"

Manid the merchant carefully estimated it again, and then continued: "If you sell it, this half of the seed is worth 1,500 dinars. ”

Drassell was pleased with the result, and replied:

"From today onwards, you are the only commander of the caravan in Uxhall except for me, now go and sell half of it."

"Yes, my master, I'll arrange it now, and I guess you'll receive the 1,500 dinars tomorrow night."

"Okay, I have something else to do, let's go first. Finally, I would like to remind you not to sell seeds to the kingdom of Swadia.

Because the part we grow in the future is the safest and most reliable to sell to our own country, and if others have it, it will not be worth it. ”

The merchant Manid was very much in favor of this reminder, and he also advocated doing so, and hurriedly replied: "Master, you and I think exactly the same! ”

[Evaluation:, I can't see it, you are also a business talent.] 】

The things you can't see are gone, so what's more? In the future, I plan to destroy the vineyards in the village of Hico!

In this way, I became the source of this grape and owned this place of origin! The first step to a solid monopoly!

With this in mind, Drasel went to Safiya's room after he had finished telling Manid, the merchant.

At this time, Safiya was feeding milk to the young dragon Wren, and the young dragon Wren looked obedient and well-behaved.

She also seems to be in good spirits, and seems to have come out of yesterday's sadness a lot.

"Safiya, thank you for taking care of the young dragon Rennes, for your hard work."
