The port of Verblon is a port city in the eastern part of the Aoya Empire, with developed commerce, especially the shipping industry. There are countless merchants here, engaged in shipping-related industries, and they are doing all kinds of business with other coastal countries and various large and small islands, which can be regarded as a place where the wealthy merchants of the Kaoya Empire gather.

Friedland is the largest grain merchant in Port Verblon, and certainly one of the largest grain merchants in the Kaoya Empire. He occupied most of the grain trade in the eastern cities of the empire, and also monopolized the grain trade exported from sea to other parts of the Kaoya Empire.

As a businessman, Flieland has a good reputation, at least not as a vampire. In fact, as long as they can achieve a certain scale of big businessmen, each of them pays great attention to their reputation, if their reputation is not good, they are easily attacked by others, and they are also easily squeezed out by the empire, and it is impossible to make the business bigger. Friedland is very conscious of his reputation, and from time to time he does something good like helping the poor, so as to lessen the negative effects of making too much money.

Flielland's estate in Port Verblon was not the largest and best, it was much worse than the other big merchants in Port Verbronn, and even much smaller than the estates of some of the declining aristocracy. However, the guard force of Flieland Manor is the most powerful in Port Verbulon, where there are two level 7 swordsmen hired by Flieland at great cost, as well as an escort team composed of hundreds of high-level swordsmen and more than 300 junior and intermediate swordsmen. This kind of guard force is much stronger than those marquis families.

The reason for this is that Flieland has a shortcoming, that is, he sometimes spends gold coins very fiercely. It can simply be called profligacy, of course. His ability to make money is also very powerful, otherwise he will definitely not be able to support the speed at which he spends money.

However, Fliedland does not spend money on personal enjoyment. On the contrary, he is more simple and stingy in terms of personal enjoyment, most of his gold coins are spent on personal collections, and the type of collection is not particular, as long as he likes it, no matter what it is, no matter how many gold coins are spent, he will not care. At the most recent triennial auction, for example, Friedland spent six or seven hundred thousand gold coins. I bought more than a dozen items of different values, which can be described as wealthy.

On this day, the heavily guarded Freeland family manor welcomed an uninvited guest, a man dressed as a large swordsman, who opened his mouth to meet Fleeland.

This person is Ryan who rushed from Farr City, he did not hurry, but went through several magic teleportation arrays, and directly used the magic teleportation array to teleport Verbulon. Although the Kaoya Empire is a swordsman empire, there are also many mages. Each of the larger cities has a magic association, and the magic association in the big city has a magic teleportation array. In the Kaoya Empire, there are more than a dozen magical teleportation arrays, connecting various large cities. An important port city like Port Verblon. Naturally, the Magic Guild will set up a magical teleportation array.

At this time, half a month has passed since Ryan arrived at the Osaidon family, and Ryan is not in a hurry, he has been in the Osaidon Martial Arts Hall for so many days. It's just that some other things are solved first. He instructed Gaudí and taught him some killing moves and the experience of being promoted to a level 7 swordsman in the future. He instructed the instructors of the martial arts gym for a few days. Let them improve their sword skills and gain more experience in advancing the ranks. He also visited the nobles and powerful level 7 swordsmen of Farr City, and had a good relationship with these people. So that when he is not in Far, these people will look at his face and take care of the Osedon family.

After all the trivial matters were taken care of, Ryan went to Flelland's estate without worry. Before coming, Ryan had obtained some information about Fleeland from Gaudí, and learned that Fleeland was not a bad person, so Ryan did not plan to force Fleeland by force, but planned to talk to Fleeland in a good voice.

"Who is Your Excellency? What is the matter with my master? The guard guarding the door did not enter the door to report as Ryan thought, but asked Ryan directly, his words seemed polite, but this politeness was probably forced by Fliland, and he was still an arrogant person in his bones.

Ryan didn't think about being unhappy, he wouldn't be angry casually, and the other party didn't deserve his anger. Second, the other party's posture of stopping people is completely understandable. Even if it's Ryan himself, when any outsider comes to the Olympiad Winter Martial Arts Hall to look for Ryan, the guards will definitely not rush to inform Ryan, and they will definitely ask who it is and what is the matter. If it is an important person next, then it is necessary to meet Gaudí, and Gaudí will decide whether to inform Ryan.

"I'm a level 8 great sword master, and I'm looking for Fliland." Ryan felt that the other party had definitely not heard of his name, so it was better to directly say his swordsman level.

Suddenly, the other party was startled, and his body even took a step back, but then he reacted by looking at Ryan with a puzzled face, as if he took Ryan for a liar.

"Humph! If you don't go in and report it yet, you won't be able to afford it later. Ryan snorted, not angry, but putting a little pressure on the other party.

Sure enough, the guards were scared, although Ryan didn't exude momentum, but the demeanor and tone of his voice made the guards very worried. So the guards quickly entered the door to report, and after a while, more than a dozen people came out inside, one of which was a middle-aged man in the costume of a butler, who was surrounded by a group of swordsmen, and came to Ryan.

Ryan glanced at it, and it was obvious that one of the guards was a level 7 swordsman, and he was standing next to the middle-aged man who looked like a butler, and it was also obvious that Fliland was not at the scene, because judging from the clothes, the clothes on these people in front of him were ordinary clothes, not like the clothes worn by rich people. Ryan couldn't help but snort: "What about Flilander? Won't he see me? ”

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry! Please explain your intentions, and I will inform my master. The middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper hurriedly said with a smile, and seemed to be good at communicating.

"I want to make a deal with your master." Ryan is reluctant to force Fleland to come out, because once he does, it will mean turning his face, and the other party is likely to be unwilling to agree to Ryan's request.

"What deal?"

"I can't tell you this, I want to see Friedland and tell him personally."

The middle-aged housekeeper thought for a while, looked at Ryan again, and then said, "I'm sorry, my master hasn't made a deal for a long time, please find someone else." ”

Obviously this is an excuse, this kind of excuse for rejecting strangers. The other party obviously suspected Ryan's intentions, so he didn't even inform Fliland, and directly mentioned Fliland's rejection of Ryan.

Ryan was not angry, he glanced at more than a dozen people on the other side, and found that some people on the other side were angry, and some people were sarcastic, but no one opened their mouths to sarcastically mock Ryan, and they seemed very educated, it seems that Flieland is very strict with them and does not let them offend people. So, Ryan wants to take the opportunity to make some trouble and lead to Fliland's plan to be gone, since he can't take the opportunity to make trouble, then directly threaten the other party.

"Hey, hey! I think it's better for you to inform Fliland, if you let him know that you have offended a level 8 great sword master, he will definitely teach you a hard lesson. Ryan said with a smile, once again pointing out his identity as a level 8 great swordsman.

Everyone on the other side was shocked, obviously the guards who had just entered to report did not explain to them that Ryan had just said that he was a level 8 great sword master.

"Your Excellency is a level 8 Great Sword Master?" It was the turn of the level 7 swordsman beside the middle-aged butler to speak.

"Humph!" Ryan didn't answer, but he flew into the air, but he was only a foot high and suspended in the air. In this way, Ryan performed the 8th level Great Sword Master's signature aerial technique, which was enough to prove that he was indeed a Level 8 Great Sword Master. Then Ryan snorted, "Why don't you hurry up and call Fliland out." ”

The middle-aged butler and the level 7 swordsman looked at each other, and then the middle-aged butler gritted his teeth and turned his head and walked inside.

A moment later, a fat man of about fifty years old finally walked out with the support of dozens of guards.

"Hmmm! Such a figure looks like a businessman. Ryan looked at the fat man, and could easily tell that the fat man was Fliland, but the fat man seemed to be a little afraid of death, and after coming to Ryan, the guards beside him moved quickly and put on a formation surrounded by groups to protect him.

"I'm Fliland, what do you call me?" Although the fat man is a little afraid of death, he speaks with great momentum, not weaker than a level 7 swordsman at all, obviously he has been rich for a long time, so he naturally develops a compelling momentum.

"My name is Ryan." Ryan originally wanted to hide his identity, but then he thought that if the other party had the intention to investigate, it would be easy to find out his identity, as long as he could easily trace the Osedon family according to the short sword that Ryan wanted, and then based on the rumors, he could guess that it was Ryan. So it doesn't work for Ryan to hide his identity at all.

"Ryan?" Fleland had apparently not heard Ryan's name, nor had any of the guards around him.

"I'm from the Osedon family." Ryan then explained.

Suddenly Flieland remembered, he had a little impression of the Osedon family, but not deeply, he only knew that this was a family that had declined. Then he said, "I wonder what your Excellency is looking for me?" ”

Fliedland has been a rich man for a long time, and he has not been intimidated by the Osedon family at all because he is not a nobleman, on the contrary, he is very imposing.

"I want to make a deal with you."

"Oh! What is the deal? ”

"Quite simply, I want to buy you the dagger you bought at auction." Ryan got straight to the point, he could see that Fleland was a shrewd person, and he was no match for Flylland's words and tricks, so it was better to say his purpose bluntly. (To be continued.) )
