In two short words, it is a transaction worth more than 2,000 gold coins.

Although the two parties have not signed a contract, with the current situation, as long as Gooden does not lie, the purity of sugar and salt can be guaranteed.

Then this transaction will also be on the board.

Feroz took a sip of tea to wash away the saltiness in his mouth.

There is no flawless high-purity refined salt, and the price of this thing is about the same as crystal sugar.

High-purity refined salt not only enhances taste, but also sterilizes the mouth.

In the past, sweets were pursued, and the aristocrats had a bad tooth as a proof of pride.

But when these aristocrats found that they had no teeth and could not eat anything, they changed sides, and regarded white teeth as a new symbol of pride and wealth.

Compared with ordinary salt bricks with impurities, there is a huge difference in taste and effect between the two.

It's a pity that I couldn't hold back just now, and I choked and vomited a lot.

When Ferroz felt pity in his heart, his eyes couldn't help but drift to the box of fine salt on the table.

Gu Deen, who didn't know the ancient times, looked at the other party's eyes and knew that it was a desire for fine salt, and adhered to the principle of being a man to the end and sending the Buddha to the west, and directly waved his hand.

"These are all sample gifts, given to you, and Captain Dedallow, you also have one, I will send someone to bring it to you later."

"Huh? I have that too?! Thank you so much, Master Gooden! ”

Dedallow, who was quietly drinking tea on the side, heard that he also had a share, and hurriedly thanked him.

This kind of thing is not a rare item for Goodern now, so it is better to give a copy of it one by one while it is still a 'scarce item'.

After all, it's always good to have one more friend, and maybe it will help you that day.

"By the way, is there any news on the knight candidate I commissioned to help me find?"

Gooden hadn't forgotten that there was a legendary knight maid in his castle who didn't have a guard, and he didn't understand the requirements of becoming a knight, so he had to ask the auction house to help find one to guide him.

Asked about this, after Feroz and Dedalo glanced at each other, Feroz raised his head slightly and looked at Gooden.

"Yes, someone has brought it, right in front of you."

"In front?" Goodern was slightly stunned when he heard this.

There are only two people in front of you?

The Feroz panel profession is not a cavalryman, could it be Dedarlow?!

When he looked at Dedalo with a slightly surprised and suspicious look, the other party nodded and acknowledged.

"Young Master Gooden, it's really me."

"But aren't you Imperial cavalry? Did your commander give you a long vacation? ”

"Ahem, that's not true, the results of the last mission were quite good, and I was also promoted by half a level."

Dedallow shook his head, then continued to explain.

"Actually, you should know a lot about the turmoil on the border, and there will definitely be a large-scale war between the empire and the orcs in the near future."

"Although we are not part of the first-line border here, the last time the orcs infiltrated and invaded the army raised the alarm."

"According to the speculation of the military cardinal, the orc scout troops should not have died last time, so the faction needs to send only troops to Qingyuan Ridge to garrison and defend to prevent accidents."

Speaking of this, Dedallow laughed.

"And this garrison task just fell on my head, and it happened that I heard from Feroz that you were short of a guide knight here, so I cheekily applied for it."

Listening to Dedallow's explanation, Goodern glanced at Ferroz without a trace, thoughtful in his heart.

Behind the auction house stood the lord of Jinyuan City, who was also the highest commander of the border army.

It was a good idea to station such an Imperial army into his territory.

But in the case of the two sides just starting a business cooperation, this kind of behavior will inevitably make Gooden suspicious.

But there was no dissatisfaction on his face at the moment, but he asked with a little interest.

"Is the team planning to be stationed in Qingyuan Town?"

Dedalo shook his head and said, "No, we will find a garrison near Qingyuan Town and set up camp, and the main supply will be in charge of Jinyuan City, which will not affect Qingyuan Town." ”

While explaining at the same time, he took out two documents out of nowhere and continued.

"This is the approval procedure for the station, and it can be regarded as a record, and this one is for you."

"With this document, in addition to the direct command tasks of the army, we are stationed in the Qingyuan Snow Ridge, and you will be our highest commander."

"As long as the command tasks do not conflict with the tasks of the army, we can do it for you."

He took the other party's document and glanced at it, as he said, as long as this unit was still stationed in Qingyuanling, he had the second command to transfer.

After all, with the signature and official seal of the Jinyuan City Lord, is this an alternative overstep to exclude oneself?

Putting away the papers, the smile on Goodern's face did not diminish, and he said happily.

"Then the next days of stationing in Qingyuanling will be tired of Captain Dedallow!"

"It's just a task, there's nothing to worry about." Dedallow was a little modest, and then asked.

"Speaking of which, Master Goodern, do you plan to train new knights or do you want to try to become a knight yourself?"

"Cultivating new knights, I don't know my talent, even if I can become a knight, I'm afraid I can only go around at the awakening level for the rest of my life."

While explaining, Gooden did not forget to ridicule himself, after all, the posture of "waste wood" has been the label given to him by the world.

Although he is now a mage, Gooden doesn't want more people to know about it.

And a leader with zero threat from scrap wood is more relatable than a 'genius' leader.

"Ho-ho......" Dedalore chuckled dryly, returning to training knights.

"If you want to train new knights, you have to do a good job of selecting personnel in advance, and the age of them is best before the age of twenty, so that the success rate of awakening and breaking through can be greatly increased."

"The candidate is already available, and the age meets the requirements, but it's just ......"

As he spoke, Goodern glanced at Erin, who had just cleared the ground, and continued.

"It's just that the candidate for training is a female knight, will this cause trouble for Captain Dedarlo?"

Hearing the words of the female knight, Erin paused visibly and looked at Goodern with a surprised look.

"Raise female knights? It's not a troublesome thing, as long as you can break through the awakening, it's the same whether it's a man or a woman. ”

As for the gender of the candidate, Dedalo didn't care about it, after all, there are many female knights who are stronger than him on the mainland.

He wouldn't have made a discriminatory choice because of his gender, but Gooden's next words stunned.

"That's fine, the person to train is this head maid, Irene."

I really heard that from the young master's mouth, I learned that the cultivation candidate was my own Erin, and her face was a little incredible.

Erin didn't expect the young master to really write down what she said she wanted to become a knight, and also found a knight mentor for her!

As for the candidates to cultivate, Dedalo and Feroz are a little confused.

Such a lovely maid, Gooden actually wants to train her to be a female knight?

Let's put aside the qualifications and talents, just the posture and physique of the maid look really pleasing to the eye, but you have to really pull it up and train...... Dedallow didn't even know if she could hold out for two days.

To make sure Goodern wasn't joking, Dedallow cautiously reconfirmed.

"Young Master Gooden, are you sure that the candidate for the training of knights is your head maid? The process of becoming a knight can be a bit difficult and I'm worried about ......"

"Do you want to try?" Goodern didn't care about Dedarlo's words, but looked at Erin and asked.

Erin was a little hesitant about the choice in front of her, it was her dream to become a knight.

But if you go to study and train, if you can't stick to it, it will be a shame and disgrace for the young master.

And the most important thing is their own maid work, which will definitely be affected.

"I ...... I want to try, but I'm afraid I won't be able to become a knight......"

Erin spoke her worries with a slight hesitation.

"It's okay, if you really want to learn, just spend half a day every day learning from Captain Dedarlo."

Goodern waved his hand, he wasn't worried that Erin wouldn't be able to break through, after all, the legendary entry hung here.

Now that Erin wanted to try, Goodern then looked sideways at Dedallow.

"Captain Dedallow, you can stay in the castle for the time being, so as not to delay your team's stationing arrangements, right?"

"It doesn't matter, it's the same if I stay there, the stationing of the troops has been arranged in advance, and I don't need to worry about it."

The parties involved in the training on the other side didn't mind, and Dedallow didn't say anything anymore, and nodded and skipped the topic to agree.

After chatting about business, the three of them began to casually chat about recent anecdotes.

At the same time, in the small living room next door, Renas and Kroger were almost done talking about the old days, and began to shift the conversation to Goodern.

Kroger remembered what Goodborn had talked to him about taxes the other day.

"Speaking of which, Goodn, there's a strange thing here, please help me find out when you go back to the Governor's Palace."

"What's wrong with him? Let's hear it. ”

Hearing that something strange had happened to Goodern, Reynas was immediately interested.

This time, in addition to awarding the Baron Medal to Gooden, he also came to Qingyuanling with another mission, that is, to investigate Gooden's achievements.

Although there are human and physical evidence from the military department, the Northern Governor's Mansion is still very curious about a 'unknown' land lord doing such a big thing.

When investigating the archives to learn about Goodern, it was found that there were only a few records.

'From the royal capital', 'son of a wealthy merchant', 'fond of fun', and there is no record of anything else.

Even the background family has no records to trace, which can't help but make the governor in charge of approving the title interested and asked people to investigate.

And the most important thing is that on the eve of Renas going to Qingyuanling, he also encountered a banquet request from a 'colleague', hoping that he could find Gooden's pigtail and refuse to issue a knighthood.

Reynas did not agree to the request of his colleague, but he became more and more curious about Goodern's identity.

"Gooden hasn't paid taxes for three years after taking up the position of Qingyuan Xueling, but I came here for a while to understand, and I feel that Goodborn will not do such a stupid thing."

"Then I talked to him and found out that the problem may have come from a tax collector named Matthews, who was the previous tax collector in Qingyuanling."

"But then the most critical place came, after this order, he went directly to the territory near the Northern Desert to collect taxes."

"It stands to reason that the personnel in the area of responsibility who are disrupted will not go that far, which is obviously a big problem."

"When you return to the Governor's Palace, help investigate the tax records of Qingyuan Snow Ridge over the years, as well as the people who signed the transfer from Matthews."

Listening to his friend's words, Renas couldn't help but shake his head.

"It's time for your personality to change, it's just a matter of collecting taxes that it's so complicated."

Thinking that Renas was reluctant to help, Kroger just wanted to explain, but he didn't expect the other party to continue.

"I'll return to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow, I'll investigate, and I'll send you the results as soon as possible."

"Hmm...... Thank you. ”

Kroger was silent for a moment, nodding his head in thanks, but Renus was unimpressed.

"It's all old classmates, thank you, when you get up in the future, I still have to show you."

"But then again, when I came to Qingyuanling, I also encountered a strange thing."

Renus lowered his voice as he told Kroger about his mission and what had happened before he set off.

The tasks and encounters of his old friend, coupled with the encounters that Goodborn is now facing, Kroger gave a result without turning his mind.

"Did Goodern offend some big guy? Or revenge from family enemies? ”

"When I came, I also heard that Goodern had been assassinated and half his life was lost, which was also a recent thing."

This speculation, Renus did not refute, just shook his head.

"This kind of problem, it's not for you and me to participate in the trouble, you can help Gooden solve the tax problem, it's already the limit."

"Don't think about helping him dig out the people behind him, your current position can be lost by a casual word, if you annoy others, your life may be lost."

Kroger's character, Renus, knew that he would definitely not be able to reverse it for a while, so he directly opened his mouth to remind him of the consequences of helping.

"Well, I know, although I can't get used to these people's practices, I don't have the brains to provoke them."

In response to his old friend's admonition, Kroger nodded slightly and said a little sullenly.

He was jealous and hateful, but he was not completely carried away by this, and Kroger was also very self-aware of his situation.

Although his position is constantly changing, and even decreasing, it is still in normal change.

Even if it is the task of collecting taxes this time, he is also assigned to the 'nail household' of arrears, and if the task can be solved, it will be a matter of time before he is promoted.

Coupled with the recent friction between the two countries, and new promotion opportunities on the horizon, Kroger will not worry about his career.

It wasn't until late in the evening that Gooden sent Joseph Sr. to invite the two to a dinner party, and then stopped talking about it and went to the dining room.
