Secluded hallway to the backyard.

In Rosen's mind, the first impression of the duke's children was that they could not be provoked, far from his life.

Even if the princess of the East, Heya Jiali, bought a custom painting from him, she just felt that it was a simple business dealing, and at most she felt that the other party was a particularly rich big sister.

It was never thought that there would be communication in real life.

But he didn't expect that on such a seemingly ordinary afternoon, another princess from the north with a similar identity would come to visit him.

He glanced at Hayley Soya, and subconsciously compared the difference between the princesses of the East and the North.

"In terms of appearance alone, the bloodline of the Duke of the East is better."

But it soon felt wrong, because Miko had a common feature, that is, dark golden eyes and dark golden hair, while the woman in front of him was all black.

This shows that the other party used spell illusions to hide their true colors.

It's right to think about it, how could the daughter of the Duke of the North be so ordinary?

Since the other party intends to keep a low profile, Rosen will naturally not publicize it in a high-profile manner.

So he said, "Your Highness, then I will call you Miss Soya?"

Hayley Soya nodded casually, "Okay."

So, the group continued to walk towards Rosen's alchemy laboratory.

After walking a few steps, Hayley Soya asked, "Mayor Lawson, I heard that you have close business relations with the East, what do you think of the East?"

Rosen's heart shook again, and he felt a little tightness in the hairs on his back.

Don't look at him as a mayor now, he's a figure in the Highlands, but he's still a small person in the entire North.

If you really want to offend the Son of God, you still have to run away with a bucket overnight.

And as far as he knows, the Duke of the North and the Duke of the East are not very good, if this is praised for the good of the East, the princess of the North will definitely not be happy.

If you say that the East Border is bad, but you do business with the East Border, wouldn't it seem that you are very hypocritical?

It's a dilemma.

Fortunately, he has always been a little quick-witted, and as soon as his thoughts turned, he had an explanation.

"Miss Soya, the East is rich in products and has a very strong commercial atmosphere, and it is indeed richer than the North, but the human heart is cunning and ruthless, and it is very good at calculation, far less straightforward and generous than us in the North."

Hayley Soya smiled faintly, "I've always heard that Mayor Lawson is cunning and tactful, and he is not inferior to the people of the East. Now it seems that this is not nonsense."

Rosen was shocked, but when he saw that Hayley Soya didn't mean to blame, he smiled awkwardly and didn't respond.

Fortunately, Hayley Soya didn't hold on to it.

Rosen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was slightly surprised in his heart: "This princess Weifu visited, it seems that she has done a special understanding of me, and she should have a plan for me."

"But what are you plotting against me? Did you invite me to the academy to teach the flow of numbers?"

There is this possibility, but I always feel that such a trivial matter is not worth running for the princess herself.

I can't figure it out, I just don't want to, anyway, since the other party is here, he will definitely find an opportunity to explain his intentions.

After that, there was no word all the way.

Soon, the group entered the backyard of the castle and came to the alchemy laboratory that Rosen had built for himself, and many people had gathered at the door of the laboratory.

In addition to a group of porters, there are three main characters.

They are Gendelloni, who is in charge of the delivery, Mona, the supervisor who comes to do the handover, and a middle-aged round-faced man with glasses.

This should be the professional sent by the "Precision Balance" Alchemy Equipment Workshop in Shattered Leaf City.

For some reason, Gendeloni's face was not very good, her mouth was pouted, and she seemed to be angry.

Rosen wondered in his heart: "Jenny has a very easy-going temper, who provoked this?"

On the other side, when she saw Rosen, Mona immediately greeted her, acted as an intermediary, and began to introduce her.

"This is Sir Mason from the East, and the Precision Balance has been sent to help you with all kinds of alchemy equipment."

"Sir Mason, this is Mayor Lawson."

Sir Mason stepped up, with a formulaic smile on his face, and took off his hat and bowed slightly to Rosen, "Lord Rosen, salute you."

After speaking, without waiting for Rosen to return the gift, he said to himself: "Originally, I didn't want to go on this trip, after all, the value of the goods customized by Mayor Rosen has not yet reached the standard of VIPs."

"But I heard about the miracle of the mayor building the town in January, so I wanted to open my eyes."

His demeanor is reserved, and his tone is arrogant, which makes people feel particularly uncomfortable to listen to.

From him, Rosen clearly felt the strong psychological superiority of the merchants in the East, as if the city people had come to a poor country.

He suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, and he also understood the reason why Gendeloni was unhappy.

So, he smiled lightly, "What do you think now?"

Sir Mason smiled and shook his head, "Hehe~~ Not much."

"Where can't it?"

Sir Mason smiled reservedly, "I didn't want to say it, so as not to spoil the mayor's mood, but since the mayor insists on asking, I will reluctantly comment a few words."

"As far as I can see, these petrified structures are tall, but they are too rough and the details don't stand up to scrutiny."

"For me personally, living in such a stupid house is simply torture for the soul."

Then he laughed again and added, "Of course, for the people in the north who don't have a good house to live in, this house is still good, at least it can shelter from the wind and rain."

After a few words of map cannonballing, the faces of the people in the north present were a little heavy.

Oberline's assistant Leia couldn't see it, and was cold and sarcastic.

"Sir Mason has a great taste, but don't you know that newborn babies are clumsy and weak, and no one in their right sense would want babies to be as able to run and jump as adults at once."

"Uh-huh~~"

Sir Mason chuckled softly through his nose.

"This lady has a point, but you've forgotten a premise."

Leia sneered, "Please Sir explain."

Sir Mason continued to make a big talk.

"The same baby, born into the nobility, carefully cultivated, naturally has a great future. But the farmer's baby, even when he grows up, still farms in the field, and he doesn't have much of a future."

This is very hurtful, and it is a mockery that the north is a big rural village.

Lawson looked at Mona suspiciously, "Director Mona, I want to know, is this jazz here to help with the equipment?"

Why does he feel like he's here to beg for a beating?

Mona smiled awkwardly, "Of the Easterners we deal with, Sir Mason is already easygoing...... Or don't you hear it?"

Can this be heard?

I was ridiculed by outsiders on my own territory, and I have to endure it?

If the other party is the Duke of Ice, then forget it, a little-known little knight dares to be so arrogant, it's really a hell of a thing.

Rosen's face sank, and he was ready to teach this stinky thing a lesson.

But as soon as his hand was tight, he was grabbed, and when he turned his head, it was O'Brien, the master of refining.

"What?"

O'Brien spoke in a heartfelt language.

"The alchemy equipment in the East is the best in the Golden Land, and it is also unique, and it cannot be bought anywhere else."

"Precision balances are not big workshops in the East, but they are one of the few equipment workshops willing to do business with the North."

"Although this knight is indeed arrogant, if you offend him, the road to buying equipment in the future will be greatly hindered...... It's not worth it for the sake of a moment."

If that's the case, then Rosen kind of understands. And O'Brien's words are indeed golden words.

He opened a factory in his previous life, and he has experienced many times the aggrieved feeling of this core technology in the hands of others.

When the other party slaps you, you have to smile and say that you fanned well.

But this life is different, he does not lack nuclear

Heart technology.

Without this batch of equipment, he would not be able to survive.

He can't afford to design and develop it himself, so he can't believe that he can't get these otherworldly natives.

So, Lawson laughed, "Master, thank you for your kind words, but this Sir is so bullying, even without his help in tuning, I can still use this equipment."

O'Brien was stunned for a moment, and immediately persuaded again: "It's not a question of whether you use it or not, but whether you can continue to cooperate."

"You offended them, you bought this batch, and the next batch was gone."

After a pause, he added softly, "The Duke of the Eastern Realm has expressly forbidden the export of precision equipment to the Northern Realm, and we Northern Alchemists have little choice, but they don't worry about selling it."

Hearing this, Rosen fully understood Sir Mason's confidence.

is like a small brand in a developed country in the previous life, which could only drink soup in its own country, but when it came to a poor small third world country, it immediately became a high-ranking lord, and everything he did was super national treatment.

His heart moved: "It seems that the alchemy equipment is also a big opportunity."

He made up his mind to get an alchemy equipment workshop out and earn alchemist's money.

As for Sir Mason, he's just a clown, and it's not worth wasting his time.

So, he smiled faintly, "Master, I understand, thank you for your kind reminder."

O'Brien thought he had listened, nodded and smiled slightly, and said no more.

Lawson then looked at Sir Mason and said with a light smile, "Sir, without further ado, everything has already been moved into the laboratory. Why don't you start debugging the instrument now?"

In business, Sir Mason is also very professional: "Then let's get started."

The group entered the alchemy laboratory.

When he got to Gendeloni's side, he gently squeezed her little hand as a comforting gesture.

Gendelloni immediately found someone to confide in, and whispered to Rosen in a voice from the heart, "I've never hated anyone so much."

Rosen nodded in agreement: "It's really annoying, let's also start an alchemy equipment workshop, specializing in robbing the business of precision balances, and let it go bankrupt!"

Gendeloni's eyes lit up, "Okay, that's it."

But then he made a bitter face.

"Alchemy equipment is not easy, although the principle is not difficult, but we don't have the rare materials for making alchemy equipment in the north, and no one knows how to refine them, so we still have to go to the east to buy them."

Rosen immediately understood the core difficulty, and then squeezed her little hand.

"Don't worry, there's always a way."

Afterwards, the group entered the alchemy laboratory.

The laboratory is spacious, half a ram in size, and the interior is bright, dry and airy, with many stone platforms with rounded corners for various instruments.

Sir Mason glanced around the room and found nothing seriously wrong.

"Judging by the setup of the alchemy lab alone, it's okay, but it's not certain if the constant petrification effect on the surrounding walls will affect the operation of the equipment."

This is true, and Rosen did consider it: "I did some testing, and I didn't find any significant effects that could be perceived."

The constant structure from Van der Lun is a restrained and self-sustaining structure, very stable, with little power to the outside world, or it would not have been stable for 40 years.

Sir Mason shook his head, "Mayor Lawson, don't jump to conclusions."

"As the commissioner of the Precision Balance Workshop, I have to remind you that due to the special nature of petrochemical buildings, we are not responsible for any unexpected problems that arise during the subsequent use of the instrument."

"Unless you can provide us with some samples of petrification for us to study and help us establish the effects of petrification."

As soon as he heard this, Rosen's heart moved, and he already knew the true intentions of this guy.

This guy is a very shrewd businessman, and his arrogant posture is just his negotiation skills.

This guy's real goal is his petrified construction skills.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows this play

There is a great future, and the people of the East naturally know better.

So, he wanted to bring petrochemical materials back to study.

However, in Crescent Town, it is a crime to destroy buildings, and the guards are always under supervision, and the management of petrified staff is very strict, making it difficult for outsiders to obtain petrochemical materials legally.

After the petrochemical business is greatly rolled out in the future, petrochemical materials can naturally be easily obtained, but if you want to make money in business, you will grab the opportunity to be one step ahead.

Otherwise, you won't be able to eat in the heat.

So, this guy hit himself in the head.

"Hey, you want to be beautiful."

Although it wasn't a big deal to be taken away from the petrochemical materials, he just wanted to disgust and disgust this guy.

So, he turned his head to look at the precision alchemy equipment that had been carried onto the round platform one by one, and replied nonchalantly.

"Sir Mason, I'm not obligated to help you tune the accuracy of your equipment. If you want to study the effects of petrification, you can, you have to pay for it."

Mason's face froze, knowing that he was going to be guessed by the other party, so he simply asked, "What price?"

Rosen squinted at him.

"I'm giving it away for free to the Northerners, and I'm giving it to the friendly Easterners. But to the people of the Precision Scales Workshop, and especially to you, Sir Mason, the price is 10,000 kroner a kilogram."

Sir Mason's face turned blue and he sneered, "Mayor Mare, your uncooperative attitude is very detrimental to our follow-up cooperation."

"I don't care about the follow-up cooperation, you like to sell it or not."

"For now, continue to fulfill your training obligations, Sir Mason. Otherwise, I will deduct the balance of the equipment on the grounds of refusing to provide the expected service."

After saying that, he ignored Sir Mason's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and turned his head to look at O'Brien again.

"Master, please help me keep a check, don't let these cunning merchants in the east take advantage of us people in the north!"

O'Brien smiled wryly, "Mayor Lawson, you didn't listen to a word of what I said."

"Master, my temper is stubborn, and I can't get used to seeing the people of the eastern realm flaunting their might in our northern realm!"

O'Brien didn't approve of such an act of arrogance, but he wouldn't argue with Rosen either.

Because he is neither an elder nor a friend or relative of Rosen, he is not obliged to help him correct the deviations on the path of life.

"Alright, I'll keep my promise."

He stepped forward and began to scrutinize the various alchemy equipment that Lawson had ordered.

After he was gone, Hayley Soya walked up, and a soft, hoarse voice reached Rosen's ears through the words of the heart.

"Mayor Lawson, it seems that the rumors are not credible, you may be cunning, but you are not tactful, and you have your own insistence in your heart."

Lawson sighed lightly: "Persistence is there, but I'm afraid I will have to make all the alchemy equipment in the future~"

Princess Hayly Soya raised her brows slightly: "Make it yourself, this is not easy. Mayor Lawson is sure of this?"

Of course, Rosen is sure, because the various technologies in this world are at the point where they are about to explode.

The threshold is not high, and it can be broken through with a little study.

But he naturally won't talk to death, don't exaggerate the difficulties, how can he reflect the greatness of his deeds?

So, he sighed, "I don't know, anyway, let's do my best." We don't want to surpass it in an all-round way, at least we must have our own alchemy equipment workshop in the north."

"Otherwise, if I am subject to the Eastern Realm everywhere, it will be impossible for my northern alchemy level to surpass the Eastern Realm, and I will only be able to eat some dust behind the Eastern Realm forever."

Hayley Soya was shocked and turned to stare at Rosen.

Rosen didn't dodge either, just looked back at Hayley Soya seriously.

After a long time, Hayley Soya asked, "Do you really think so?"

Rosen smiled lightly: "I don't just think so, in fact, I have just taken the first step, and I have no way to compromise."

Hayley Soya nodded slowly, "Yes, you've already taken a step."

There was a hint of emotion on her face: "I have a wise and persistent talent like you in the north, it is really the favor of the Father~"

But he used honorifics.
