Chapter 62: If you don't have it, you will grab it

Soon, the two heads of the regiment came to Claire's study.

"Come on, come on, come and try this, this is the drink I found in the past two days, it's called tea, try it."

Claire pulls out a teapot and makes tea for Norman and Bart in a decent way.

In fact, Claire didn't have the habit of drinking tea, but when she observed Blue Star in her previous life, many people in Blue Star liked this drink, so Claire couldn't help but try it.

But Claire didn't like the faint bitter taste of tea, he liked another drink called milk tea.

Claire didn't know that no one in Blue Star would call that sweet drink milk tea, and many times, the raw materials of milk tea have nothing to do with milk and tea.

Not long ago, while wandering around, Claire found tea leaves in the field. Given the world's extremely scarce material resources, Clairton became interested in tea.

Not to mention picking some tea leaves himself, even the matching tea sets were fired by himself. The efficiency of the magician using the flame to burn ceramics is not much slower than the industrial firing of the blue star.

Seeing the pale yellow liquid soaked from the leaves of unknown plants, Norman and Bart still showed a lot of hesitation on their faces.

Can this be drunk? Norman and Bart looked at each other, and the same thought crossed their eyes.

Watching Claire drink a cup of tea with an intoxicated face and refill herself from the teapot, the two of them silently lifted the cup and drank it apprehensively.

There's no way, eat under Claire, this face has to be given to Claire. Everyone drank it, how dare two people not drink it.

"What kind of drink is this, the taste is a little strange, a little bitter at the beginning, and a faint fragrance and sweetness after careful aftertaste."

Bart looked depressed, and Norman on the side had bright eyes and a bit of an aftertaste.

Claire was overjoyed, she didn't expect that she would use tea to entertain people for the first time, and she actually knew the goods, which is really rare.

Perhaps, in the future, there will be one more tea in the specialty of Tilling Town. The name of the tea capital seems to be very good.

Claire hurriedly continued to pour tea for the two of them, while explaining how to find tea leaves and the benefits of drinking tea.

Norman was very interested and listened with great interest. Bart didn't know why, isn't it just a drink, how can he blow it so much, seeing that Claire is getting farther and farther, he began to say what tea culture, what one hundred and eight processes for making tea, and whether the sister paper tea will be better to drink, Bart couldn't help it.

"Excuse me, Lord Baron, did you call the two of us here today just to let us have tea? If that's the case, I'll leave first, and in the past two days, I vaguely feel that I've reached a bottleneck, and I'm about to break through. ”

Bart is telling the truth, as a professional, nothing is more important than strengthening oneself. If he chats nonsense with Claire here, he might as well go back to practice.

"Oops." Claire patted her head and smiled sheepishly. "I was so excited that I almost forgot about it. Captain Norman, since you are also so interested in tea, we will talk again in two days. ”

After receiving a nod from Norman, Claire told the two captains about the current shortage of iron ore in Tilling and his thoughts.

As Claire spoke, Norman's eyes gradually glowed with a strange light, while Bart was a little restless, feeling like he wanted to flee the room immediately.

When Claire laid out the plan and began to drink tea to moisten her throat, Bart finally couldn't sit still and replied first.

"It's... Your Excellency, I'm afraid we..."

"We're fine!" Bart didn't finish speaking, and Norman quickly pulled the other party's sleeve and interrupted the other party's words. "Lord Baron's idea is very good, I don't think there is any problem, this can indeed solve the problem of iron ore shortage in the territory in the short term. However, in the long run, the risk is still a bit big. ”

Bart turned his head and glared at Norman fiercely, winking at the other man, meaning how can you say that.

Norman shrugged and pursed his lips, and the meaning was obvious, that's what I thought.

Bart was not good for a moment, the two people in the room, aren't they all crazy, the royal family dares to provoke, and they are impatient, right?

A new baron whose territory has not yet been covered wants to recruit a mercenary group to rob a viscount's territory. Another mercenary group leader with no background actually agreed.

How dare the two of them, aren't they afraid of the royal family's retribution?

The world is so crazy that Bart can't understand it.

Claire is looking for Bart and Norman this time, just to let the two of them, lead the elite mercenaries, sneak attack Batan Town, and plunder the iron ore stored in Batan Town.

As for this task, the difficulty of success is very low.

Batan Town is an enclave territory of Viscount Lawson, if it weren't for the iron ore on it, Viscount Lawson wouldn't care, and naturally there are not many defense forces.

An enclave is a territory that does not border a territory under one's control. Since the kingdom closely resembles the succession laws of medieval Europe on the Blue Star, many nobles actually had a large enclave territory as well. The boundaries of the territories of the small and medium-sized nobles seem to be crooked, east and west.

The nobles also knew that this situation was not conducive to the management of the territory, and they would generally adopt the method of exchanging land, that is, exchanging their own enclave for someone else's enclave, so that the territory under their control could be connected and increase their control.

It's just that this kind of thing like land exchange also needs a suitable transaction partner and negotiation, after all, the value of the territory is never easy to judge.

Generally speaking, large and medium-sized nobles will try to avoid other lords' enclaves in their sphere of influence that are not subject to their jurisdiction, and even if there is, they would rather lose and exchange them.

But Viscount Lawson, a member of the royal family, has iron mines in Batantown, and even if it is in the sphere of influence of Count Marcas, it still maintains a high degree of independence.

It's not that Count Marcus didn't think about exchanging for the resource-rich land of Batan Town, but unfortunately, in the heart of disgusting other nobles, Viscount Lawson, who was born in the royal family, directly opened his mouth for the request of a powerful nobleman like Count Marcus, and at one time he had to exchange for a territory ten times the size of Batan Town.

Naturally, Count Marcus refused to accept it, and after several fruitless talks, he saw that Viscount Lawson did not have a large garrison in Batan, so he pretended that nothing had happened.

This is also the reason why Claire dared to let the two captains attack, Count Marcus and Viscount Lawson did not deal with each other, and so many lords below naturally would not be amiable to Viscount Lawson.

Well, once the town of Batan has been ransacked, it is difficult to suspect Claire.

It's just that Bart doesn't seem to think so, and always feels that as long as he does it, he will definitely be known.

"Your Excellency, this will not work." Bart still refuses Claire's request. "We are an upright mercenary group, and we don't do this kind of robbery."
