Lord Highlander

Jack Kennelly stopped in front of the magic caravan, turned his head and squinted his eyes to stare at Baron Harvey Gophero and said, "But your supply of goods in the leather business is not sufficient, I want to know what should have been placed on the counter When will these batches of goods be replenished?"

His skin is a little too fair, and when his eyes are slightly squinted, the pupils seem to stand upright. It is said that this is because the blood of the southerners is mixed with the blood of the lizardmen.

Harvey Gophero obviously didn't know much about the family's leather business, so he turned around and glanced at the store manager behind him.

The manager hastily stepped forward and whispered in Baron Harvey Gophero's ear: "The Gophero family has trading houses in all planes that specialize in purchasing leather, but there have been frequent accidents in the planes recently. As a result, the delivery of leather has been delayed again and again..."

The two boarded the magic caravan, and the carriage was still parked by the side of the road, not leaving in a hurry.

The manager and employees of the Gophero Family Leather Store were waiting beside the carriage.

Jack Kennelly said to Harvey in a relaxed tone: "As for the leather trade, I can pay some deposit in advance, or we can use the payment for the first batch of wheat flour, the wheat shipped from the family is about to arrive in Bena This time, we will send out five batches of wheat flour one after another. There should be a total of 200,000 tons. These grains can support an army of 500,000 people for a whole year. Otherwise, such a large amount of wheat would not be able to be sold in time without a huge sales network!"

Jack leaned on the soft leather sofa in the carriage, picked up a glass of ice wine, and said, "Harvey, since we are friends, I have to remind you of some things. I am not belittling the Gophero family, but I need you to prove to me your sales ability."

Harvey, who was sitting opposite, gritted his teeth and said patiently: "Since the family wants to obtain the Kennelly family's wheat flour agency in Bena Province, it shows that we have the ability to sell this batch of wheat flour. There are 20 windmills in the farm, which can dehull and grind wheat. We can also apply to the Bena Provincial House of Representatives to reduce trade taxes and inter-provincial local agricultural protection taxes, so that we can continue to maintain low prices. Only things can be profitable, and this is also the profit point that our food business can see!"

He waved his hand and said confidently, "I'll go to the tax department to deliver the application tomorrow. It's not difficult to work."

Jack took a sip of his wine, opened the car window, looked at the leather business outside the car window, and said: "Otherwise, we should start the leather trade first, and it is not difficult to obtain the agency right of the Kennelly family's wheat flour. The letter of intent is ready anytime." It can be signed, but I'm afraid you won't be able to eat such a big piece of cake! On the contrary, the leather trade is more profitable, and the Kennelly family's purchasing power for leather comes from two thousand cavalry, two thousand longbowmen and six thousand heavyweights The armored infantry comes from the native slaves of the 100,000 planes, and needs a lot of leather whether it is military leather armor or agricultural tools."

Harvey frowned, glanced at the deserted leather store outside the window, and sighed: "Currently, the family's leather business is affected by factors such as plane wars, and it will take a few months to recover at the fastest. Waiting here..."

Jack Kennelly said unhurriedly: "Unless...you can determine the annual trading volume of wheat flour... Baron Harvey! I think you can discuss this matter with Earl Goffello first."

"As for the wheat flour trade, I can make a decision. I am currently in charge of the family's business affairs. Wheat flour does have a great market prospect in Bena Province..." Harvey explained to Jack Kennelly seriously.

Jack Kennelly interrupted him: "Harvey, you may not realize how much 200,000 tons of wheat is. That wheat may blow up all the warehouses at Bena Airport Terminal!"

While the two were chatting, a butler rode over from the street corner, came to the side of the carriage, boarded the carriage in a hurry, saluted the two nobles, and whispered into Jack Kennelly's ear: " Master, Earl Quentin has received an order for wheat, as long as we deliver the wheat to Epsom City, we will pay us four silver coins per ton of wheat."

Jack Kennelly frowned, and said angrily, "This guy doesn't know how much the shipping costs are now? I'll write to him to explain this, unless he can pay our shipping costs, Otherwise I wouldn't send a grain of wheat to Epsom."

He hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice, and said, "Immediately write a letter to my family... No, you should go back in person and tell father to stop the second batch of wheat going here first, Find five airships to spare next month's schedule, and I will fly to Epsom City tomorrow to talk to Quentin Busman in person."

The butler agreed: "Okay, master!" Then he quickly left the carriage.

Although the voice of the two talking was very low, it still reached Harvey's ears.

The carriage suddenly fell silent, and after a while, Jack Kennelly said to Harvey: "Baron Harvey, I'm afraid that the agency of wheat flour will be put on hold for the time being. I have to rush back to the family to deal with some matters."

"Jack, are you leaving Bena City?" Harvey panicked. He has been actively preparing for a cooperation project with the Kennelly family recently, but now it seems that Jack Kennelly has a better partner— — Quentin Bousman.

The number one heir of the Busman family is far beyond what he, a little baron, can compare. Harvey looked at Jack Kennelly with a dejected expression.

Jack Kennelly bowed slightly, and said apologetically to him: "Sorry, Harvey, I must consider the interests of the Kennelly family in this matter."

After finishing speaking, Jack Kennelly got out of the carriage and quickly boarded a magic caravan behind with a few entourages. The magic caravan quickly drove away from Rossi Leather Store.

Harvey sat in the carriage and thought for a while, then told the coachman: "Go back to the manor..."

The magic caravan drove quickly out of the street and disappeared at the intersection ahead.

...

Across the street, Suldak, who was sitting in the magic caravan, did not expect to see such a wonderful scene, like a scene from a sitcom.

He didn't hear the content of the whispered conversation between Jack Kennelly and the butler, but he had seen this kind of drama a lot in his previous life, and he felt that there was a big problem with this Baron Jack Kennelly.

Although at present, it is only because of some similar plot that he has some bad associations, and there is no definite evidence, but he saw that the housekeeper and Jack Kennelly had a constant look in their eyes when they were talking. in communication.

After implanting a keel in his body, although Suldak's sea of ​​spiritual consciousness was completely destroyed, the two souls were accidentally merged into one. It is recovering rapidly, and its perception is much better than before.

Because his body has been infused with some dragon blood, his physique has been significantly improved. He can even recite those rune words casually to bless the elemental power of certain rune words. He feels that the power contained in these rune words is exactly like some The power of the knight's seal described in the book.

He felt that he should find time to visit some other peak knights, but he didn't have any friends in this regard right now.

Suldak knocked on the window, and the coachman turned around from the front and asked him, "My lord baron, what are your orders?"

"To the Shire Tavern!" said Suldak.

"Yes, my lord!" the coachman agreed.

After speaking, he raised his whip and drove the carriage into the traffic on the street...

When I came to the Shire Hotel and saw Sophia, Suldak asked Sophia to investigate the young Baron Jack Kennelly, but Sophia said that in order to confirm the identity of a southern lord, the Thieves Guild It will take at least a month here, and this kind of identity investigation commission, regardless of whether useful information is found, still needs to be paid.

Suldak immediately gave Sofia another fifteen gold coins, saying that no matter what the result was, he wanted the Thieves Union to conduct a follow-up investigation.

Besides Jack Kennelly, he also hoped that the Thieves Union would send someone to investigate the butler's whereabouts.

...

Suldak returned to the hotel from the tavern, got out of the carriage and walked into the lobby of the hotel, just in time to see Harvey stepping down from the compartment of the magic caravan and hurried into the hotel.

Surdak simply sat in the rest area of ​​the hotel lobby, found an unoccupied seat, asked the waiter for a cup of tea and a plate of dessert, and waited patiently for the show.

For this reason, he even took a biography of a knight-errant from the bookshelf beside him, put it in front of the desk, and flipped through a few pages casually.

He was a little absent-minded, and his eyes always unconsciously aimed at the staircase of the hotel.

"You still like watching this?"

A strange voice came from in front of him.

Suldak looked up, only to find that Mrs. Dorothy was standing opposite. He didn't expect the other party to find him so soon. He thought it would take longer. It would be better if he waited until he returned to Hailansa City. up.

But now Mrs. Dorothy caught him off guard, obviously the other party already knew.

He quickly stood up and saw Mrs. Dorothy looking at him with a half-smile, so he followed Mrs. Dorothy's eyes to look at the table.

The page of the biography of the ranger on the coffee table happened to be an illustration, the content on it was a little 'wonderful', and it seemed to describe the love story between the ranger and a lady.

Suldak closed the book with some embarrassment, he didn't even have time to glance at it just now.

Madam Dorothy raised her thin lips and asked Suldak, "Are you waiting for someone?"

"No!" Suldak still hadn't recovered from the embarrassment.

"Do you mind if I sit here for a while?"

"Of course, please sit down!"

Mrs. Dorothy sat generously across from Suldak, even took the biography of the ranger on the coffee table, and turned a few pages with great interest.

The lobby on the first floor of the hotel was very warm. Mrs. Dorothy unbuttoned the fur shawl of the white fox, revealing the delicate low-cut dress inside. The white and greasy skin on the chest was a bit dazzling. The fur shawl was taken over.

"Should I say thank you?" Madam Dorothy asked Suldak with a smile.

"Um, where did you start with that?" Suldak could only pretend to be confused, and looked around. Fortunately, there was no one in this corner of the hall for the time being.

"I'm talking about the Dandelion Hotel..." Mrs. Dorothy did not continue.

Seeing Mrs. Dorothy's question, Suldak said calmly: "Since you know everything, what else do you want to know from me?"

Mrs. Dorothy tilted her head and said lightly: "I have a lot of doubts, so I want to talk to you face to face."

Suldak spread his hands helplessly, and said to Mrs. Dorothy sincerely: "If I say that all this is just a coincidence, do you believe me?"

"What do you say?"

Suldak smiled bitterly: "But this is what I want to explain to you. At that time, I happened to be staying in the room on the third floor of the hotel. I saw those people on the terrace... I'm sorry! I couldn't tell you in advance. You sound the alarm."

Mrs. Dorothy said indifferently: "Everything is over, and you don't need to be sorry, after all, you saved me!"

She paused, stood up from the sofa, and then said: "...So, if there is anything I can do, please feel free to come to the castle of the Newman family to find me!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

Suldak quickly stood up and saluted, and watched Mrs. Dorothy leave the hotel with two maids and four attendants.

...

At the stairway of the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, several servants came down from the second floor carrying large and small bags of luggage, and Jack Kennelly walked at the end.

He was wearing a thick leather jacket, a suede fur hat on his head, and a pair of thick leather boots on his feet. He was dressed for a long journey, and he said to Harvey, who looked a little frustrated beside him: "Harvey, I'm sorry, I have to leave here, I'm going over there to negotiate this... vital business for the Kennelly family!"

Harvey Gophero raised his head, grabbed Jack Kennelly's shoulder, and begged: "Jack, you should see the sincerity of our Gophero family, we want to make these wheat sounds...I know your Worried, no matter whether our Gophero family can sell the wheat, we will pay the full price for the wheat! And I can also pay the deposit in advance!"

Jack stopped in front of the bar, stretched out his hand to prevent the entourage from checking out of the room, and asked Harvey seriously: "Harvey, do you really want to conduct this trade?"

"That's right, I want to accomplish this and prove my ability to my father." Harvey said very seriously.

"If you can guarantee that you will not harm the interests of the Kennelly family, I am willing to become a closer business partner with you!" Jack Kennelly stretched out his hand with a smile, and held Harvey's hand tightly. .

Harvey also said excitedly: "You don't have to worry about the sincerity of the Gefiro family, I will prepare the deposit in time!"
