"The kid can't ask for it, but he doesn't know my ability, can he do it?"

"Haha, rest assured, your safety is absolutely guaranteed." Duke Sailer is alive and dead, and now he has met a savior who can help him break through the predicament, so he is naturally very happy.

"Father, that matter is top secret." Thaler's son reminded him, "I don't even know the truth." ”

Duke Sailer glanced at him and said lightly: "There are some things, I don't know if it's for your good, you all step down, I want to discuss it with Jing Chen." ”

"Yes."

Sale's son took the lead in leading everyone out, and as for those who were about to go mad, they were taken out by Liu Lao by means.

Whether there will be accidents on the road, he doesn't care at all.

The room was quiet, Duke Sailer got up, moved his muscles, walked to the side, poured two cups of tea by himself, one of which was pushed to Jing Chen and said, "This is the best black tea brought by the imperial capital, you can taste it." ”

Jing Chen was frightened and hurriedly thanked, "Thank you, Lord Duke." ”

After taking a sip of black tea, my whole body was warm, and I felt that the cold in my body was no longer a bit, and it seemed that this tea was also some kind of natural treasure.

Just a drink, all with this level.

The status and wealth of the Duke of Thaler can be imagined.

Thinking about it like this, Jing Chen became more and more curious, how could such a big man come to Ice Plain City, and he was also hit by the Ice Demon Qi, and invited him to do things together.

"You know something about Icefield City, right?" Duke Thaler drank black tea, his face showed the comfort of enjoyment, and asked casually.

"Well, I've lived here for ten years."

Icefield City is located in the northernmost part of the Polar Star Empire, and it is the ice and snow season for ten months a year, which is not suitable for human survival.

It was only developed a few decades ago when ice ore was discovered here, and with its current scale, it can be said that this is a city born on ore.

"The Ice Yuan Mine is as precious as the Yuan Crystal, so even if the Ice Yuan City is so remote, it has developed, but the environment here is harsh and abnormal, and the monsters outside the city are rampant, and every time you transport the ore, you have to pay a lot of price."

"Today, there are not many ice yuan mines that can be mined, but the development here is still thriving, do you think it is strange?"

Jing Chen's face changed, he had heard this phenomenon from his father, and he didn't care about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it is indeed a bit abnormal.

"Please make it clear to the Duke?"

"Naturally, the empire is behind it."

The empire, the royal family, that is, the country intends to develop here, but whether it is the emperor or the courtiers, everyone is very snobbish, how can they do such a thankless thing, unless there is something else here.

More precious than Ice Element Ore.

"Ice Yuan Essence Stone?"

Jing Chen immediately thought that this was the only thing that could exist outside the Ice Yuan City, and it was of high value, and the price was dozens of times higher than that of the Ice Yuan Mine.

Duke Thaler smiled faintly, "It seems that your knowledge is not bad, but you actually guessed it." ”

"My father taught me, he said that this kind of knowledge is a treasure, and when you use it in the future, you can definitely make a lot of money."

"Your father was a visionary."

"Thank you, Lord Duke, for the compliment."

Duke Sale's face became a little serious, "Since you guessed, then I won't talk nonsense, the empire has found a super large ice element essence mine outside the city, and wants to mine it, but it is the territory of the ice demon." ”

"Ice Demon?"

Jing Chen's heart sank suddenly, this ice demon is said to have the strength of the martial spirit level, in the ice and snow, the strength is stronger, and he is good at ice and snow escape, which is extremely difficult to deal with.

What's worse is that it can command a large number of ice marrow beasts, which is equivalent to a huge force with thousands of martial artists, even if the Martial King comes, it can only temporarily avoid the edge.

"Can't the empire send the strong?"

Although the Ice Demon is strong, the empire has its own more powerful power, and in the face of the huge value of the Ice Yuan Essence Stone Mine, there is no reason not to send a strong person to come.

It's just very strange to let a martial spirit like Duke Sailor come.

"Speaking of which, this matter is also related to your Jing family." Duke Sailer said solemnly: "The Qinghan Empire has recently increased its troops on the border, and there is a great tendency to attack the Polestar Empire, and many strong people have suddenly emerged in the western region of our country. ”

"When did this happen?" Jing Chen thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but change his face.

"A few days ago."

Creak.

With his fists clenched, Jing Chen immediately thought that this was the force that was secretly making trouble, and the emperor of the Polestar Empire was also persecuted.

However, his life is tied to the life of the Jing family, and before the curse is lifted, the emperor will definitely do his best to protect the Jing family.

That force had no other way but to simply encourage the Qinghan Empire to raise troops, and they also sent strong men to infiltrate, intending to use both prongs to completely eradicate the roots.

Don't give Jing Chen, who became a sword cultivator, a chance to grow up.

The strength of the Polestar Empire is limited, and in the face of such a situation, it is natural that it can only mobilize a large number of strong people to defend, and the task of mining the Ice Yuan Essence Stone is not urgent, so naturally it will not be taken too seriously.

"With a big war, all kinds of resources will be tight, and this Ice Yuan Essence Stone is as precious as food to the warriors of the Empire, so we must complete the task." Duke Thaler said firmly.

"Our Jing family will definitely participate in it with all our might."

Jing Chen hugged his fists.

This matter is just because of the Jing family, and it involves the safety of their father and son, so naturally there is nothing to excuse.

"That's great, but since it's a cooperation, the division of interests still has to be made clear, if you can help us successfully eradicate the ice demon, we will get a hundred percent of the benefits."

"Ichisei?"

Jing Chen's eyes widened in surprise.

This is a super-large Bingyuan essence mine, the value is unimaginable, only one percent of it, and it is also a sky-high wealth, Duke Thaler's offer of such a price shows his sincere cooperation.

"Don't be too little, His Majesty the Emperor only accounts for fifty percent." Duke Thaler explained.

"Why so little?"

"The mining site is in the wild, you need to build a safe base, defend against monsters, and the transportation along the way is long and dangerous, and it also requires a lot of cost, which is very expensive, and the current financial constraints of the empire can only come out of the ore."

Jing Chen nodded, it seems that the current situation in the Polar Star Empire is indeed not optimistic, and this matter must be told to Daddy and let him find a way.

As the richest man in the Qinghan Empire, even if he is in decline, Dad still has a lot of influence, such as knowing some secrets of the Qinghan Empire and private transactions with officials.

Whether it is used as a coercion or directly exposed, it is enough for the Qinghan Empire to be shocked.

"When will you go?"

Duke Sailer looked at Jing Chen and said with a gentle smile: "Three days later, you will take care of the affairs of the Jing family, and you will go out of the city with me." ”

It seems that Duke Thaler has known about his family's affairs for a long time.

Also.

The Jing family has that relationship with the emperor, as a duke, it is impossible for him not to inquire about the information of the Jing family when he comes to Icefield City.

Speaking of his family's affairs, Jing Chen's heart moved, the Jing family is facing a lot of problems now, and it is not easy to deal with them, after all, his strength is limited.

The six-star martial artists are simply not enough for the three major martial arts families.

Since he has hugged Duke Thale's thigh, he naturally has to make good use of it.

"That, Duke Sale, the problem our family is facing now is really not small, I have only opened the Xuanfu for a few days, my strength is limited, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with it in three days." Jing Chen scratched his head and said with an embarrassed expression.

Duke Thaler smiled, "Those are all trivial things, there is no need for you to waste too much thought, I will send someone to deal with it, and the rest is simple, you can do it yourself?" ”

"Thank you, Lord Duke."
