Chapter 62: The date of the duel has been set
Moriel nodded and smiled at Xu Kuang:
"Since you say so, then I will ask, I want to ask, your business here is developing so rapidly, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so that it will inevitably attract the displaced people from all around, and when your territory reaches the upper limit of the population, what should you do?"
Xu Kuang smiled slightly and said:
"Just don't take in any more, or raise your knighthood before the population reaches the limit."
Moriel was silent, then she nodded and said:
"I know, I'll go back tomorrow, I hope you and I can have more cooperation.".
Xu Kuang smiled:
"Isn't the Count going to stay a little longer?".
Moriel shook her head and smiled at Xu Kuang:
"No, there are still many things going on in my territory, by the way, it is estimated that the first batch of timber will arrive soon, you send someone to hand it over by the river."
"Riverside?".
Xu Kuang suddenly realized that the Pearl River was full of water, and water transportation could also be used. The hundred-meter-wide Pearl River can give Mushroom Ridge infinite convenience, you can go further away to buy iron ore at a low price, or open freight and passenger transportation, in short, you can make a lot of money.
Xu Kuang also felt a little heartache, if there is oil, he can make a lot of money through the Pearl River, if there are enough people in the future, it is not no problem to monopolize the shipping on the Pearl River, this is another project with an annual income of hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold coins.
Xu Kuang saluted Moriel and said:
"In that case, I have prepared some small gifts, and I ask the earl to smile."
Moriel smiled:
"What small courtesy?".
Xu Kuang cleared his throat and said with a smile:
"128 gauze and cotton cloth 100 horses, two shops, a Mithril chiming bell, 1,000 pounds of spirits ......."
Xu Kuang sent a lot of things, and they were also very miscellaneous, cheap things mixed with expensive gifts, all in all, if calculated according to the selling price, Moriel came here and went around, and he gained nearly 100,000 gold coins.
However, Moriel was not interested in this, and simply thanked him and put the gift slip into the storage ring.
Xu Kuang secretly screamed badly, he miscalculated, he forgot, gifts are also divided into genders, if these things are given to male lords, they have definitely gained favor, but if they are given to female lords, they can't give these, because most female lords are not interested in it.
Xu Kuang thought for a while and said:
"Yes, I'm going to give you one more thing separately, and I hope you will definitely take it."
Moriel looked at Xu Kuang in amazement and asked:
"What's that?".
Xu Kuangdao:
"Please.".
Xu Kuang took out a lady's watch from the space ring and handed it to Count Moriel.
The watch is entirely silver, with a flower and leaf motif on the strap lattice that shakes as if the leaf is swaying in the wind, and a golden daisy carved with gold thread against a background of mythril on the dial. The watch body was engraved with a storage magic circle by Xu Kuang, and a brave-level dimensional slashing spell was also sealed.
Xu Kuang made this watch very carefully, because he wanted to give this watch to Hathaway, but now he has no choice but to reimagine a better one.
Molill took the watch, immediately captivated by its delicacy and beauty, and asked:
"What is this?".
"This is a watch, you can use it to see the time, it can also be used as a storage bracelet, and I have also sealed a dimensional slash spell, you can inject mana into the hands to urge it.".
Moriel looked at Xu Kuang in amazement and asked:
"This is what you did?".
Xu Kuang nodded.
Moriel was a little shocked, making storage bracelets is something that only a brave-level alchemy priest can do, and Xu Kuang can already do it? How old is he? Eighteen? Nineteen?
Suddenly, Xu Kuang's inspiration flashed again, he can also make jewelry, this thing is much faster than any cloth to make money.
For example, issue a card, make a few sets of molds out, put it on the lathe for a stamping, and then polish and throw a light, if you use iron, the cost may not cost five copper coins, so how much can you sell? Does anyone buy fifty copper coins at a wholesale price, there must be one, if the output of this thing comes up, it can make at least tens of thousands a day......
Not to mention the high-end jewelry made of high-end materials, novel designs and alchemy, a few hundred gold coins can only buy an entry-level model, and if you want to be high-end, you have to customize it exclusively, starting from tens of thousands of gold coins.
Xu Kuang's thinking developed.
Moriel was stroking her watch lovingly, but she didn't notice Xu Kuang's strange appearance.
Suddenly, a group of people came from the direction of Baihua City, and when they approached, they found Xu Kuang and the others.
Viscount Birch jumped off his horse and saluted Duke Moriel.
At this moment, Viscount Bai Hua's gums were about to be crushed, and when he saw Count Moriel stroking his watch just now, he immediately realized that it was not good, Xu Kuang had already begun to bribe Moriel.
Moriel looked at Viscount Birch in amazement and asked:
"What are you going to do here?".
Viscount White Birch smiled:
"It's nothing, I'm going to duel him.".
Viscount Bai Hua pointed at Xu Kuang.
Moriel's brows furrowed, she protected Xu Kuang behind her, looked at Viscount Bai Hua with an angry face, and asked:
"Veric, what are you going to do?".
Viscount Birch was about to explode, but he had to endure it, and said to Moriel:
"According to the laws of the kingdom, I can challenge him.".
Xu Kuang said to Viscount Bai Hua at this time:
"I agree, I will set the time, and in five days, you will decide the place."
Viscount Bai Hua glanced at the strategist in surprise, he originally thought that the most difficult part was to get Xu Kuang to agree to the duel, but he didn't expect that now this most difficult part had been solved, which made him a little surprised. He said to Xu Kuang:
"Okay, right here on this battlefield, it's big enough for us to spread."
Moriel turned her head to look at Xu Kuang.
Xu Kuang said to Moriel with a sad face:
"Earl, if I die, I hope you will be able to take in my cronies, and I can pay you ...... in advance."
"The time has been changed to ten days later! Both of you are calm and calm, and after ten days, the challenge can be canceled at any time. ”。
Viscount Birch's teeth were about to break, and he scolded angrily:
"Xu Kuang, you stinky and shameless person, do you really think you have won?"
Xu Kuang still had a sad face, he looked at Moriel, and said:
"I'll go back and get ready."
Oscar-winning actor Xu Kuang is still playing steadily today.
Moriel looked at Xu Kuang's lonely back and chased after him.
Viscount Bai Hua couldn't catch up, because Xu Kuang told the guards before entering the Mushroom Ridge City Pass that he would not let Viscount Bai Hua go.
However, Viscount White Birch did not catch up.
Viscount Birch turned his head, looked at the strategist, and asked:
"What does Mr. think this Xu Kuang is doing?"
The strategist shook his head, he didn't understand, but he always felt that something was not right, and he seemed to be caught up in the rhythm of the other party.
