Master Tongtian

Chapter 258 This is really the favor of God the Father (24)

Secluded hallway leading to backyard.

In Rosen's mind, his first impression of the Duke's children was that of big shots who were untouchable, far away from his life.

Even if Heya Jiali, the princess of the East, bought a custom painting from him, she just thought it was a simple business transaction. At most, she felt that the other party was a particularly rich lady.

Never thought that communication could exist in real life.

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

He glanced at Hayley Sonja and subconsciously compared the differences 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 I soon felt that something was wrong, because the sons of gods had a common feature, which was dark golden eyes and dark golden hair, but the woman in front of them was all black.

This shows that the other party has used magical illusions to hide his true face.

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

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

So he said: "Your Highness, shall I call you Miss Sonja?"

Hailey Sonja nodded casually: "Okay."

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

After walking a few steps, Haili Sawyer asked: "Mayor Rosen, I heard that you have close business dealings with the East Territory. What do you think of the East Territory?"

Rosen's heart was shaken again, and he felt that the hair on his back was a little tight.

Even though he is a mayor now and is considered a figure in the highlands, he is still a minor figure in the entire Northern Territory.

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

As far as he knows, the Duke of the North and the Duke of the East are not easy to deal with. If he praises the East, the princess of the North will definitely not be happy.

If you say that the Eastern Territory is bad, but you do business with the Eastern Territory, wouldn't it look like you are being hypocritical?

What a dilemma.

Fortunately, he has always been a bit quick-witted, and as soon as his thoughts changed, he came up with an explanation.

"Miss Suo Ya, the Eastern Territory is rich in products and has a strong commercial atmosphere. It is indeed richer than the Northern Territory, but its people are cunning and ruthless, and are very good at calculations. They are far less straightforward and generous than us Northern Territory people."

Hailey Sonja smiled faintly: "I have always heard that Mayor Rosen is cunning and slick, no less cunning than the people from the East. Now it seems that these words are not nonsense."

Rosen was shocked, but when he saw that Haili Sonja had no intention of blaming him, he smiled awkwardly and did not respond.

Fortunately, Hayley Sonja didn't hold on to her.

Rosen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was slightly surprised: "This princess came to visit me in disguise. It seems that she has made a special understanding of me. She must have a plot against me." ’

"What are you trying to do with me? Are you inviting me to teach math in the academy?"

There is a possibility, but I always feel that such a trivial matter is not worth the princess' personal trip.

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

There was no words for the whole journey after that.

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

In addition to a group of cargo-moving servants, there are three main characters.

They were Gendeloni who was in charge of receiving the goods, supervisor Mona who was doing the handover, and a middle-aged round-faced man wearing glasses.

These should be the professionals sent by Suiye City's 'Precision Balance' alchemy equipment workshop.

For some reason, Gendeloni looked unhappy and pursed her lips, as if she was angry.

Rosen was wondering: "Jenny has a very easy-going temper. Who provoked this?"

On the other side, when they saw Rosen, Mona immediately came up to him, acted as a go-between, and started introducing him.

"This is Sir Mason from the East, sent by Precision Balance to help you adjust various alchemical equipment."

"Sir Mason, this is Mayor Rosen."

Sir Mason came up with a formulaic smile on his face, took off his hat and bowed slightly to Rosen: "Mayor Rosen, I salute you."

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

“But I heard about the mayor’s miracle of establishing the town in January, so I wanted to come and broaden my horizons.”

His demeanor was reserved and his tone was arrogant, which made people feel particularly uncomfortable.

From him, Rosen could clearly feel the strong sense of psychological superiority of the eastern merchants, as if a city dweller had come to a remote country.

He suddenly felt unhappy and understood the reason why Gendeloni was unhappy.

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

Sir Mason smiled and shook his head: "Haha~~ Not very good."

"What's wrong?"

Sir Mason smiled reservedly: "I didn't want to say it originally, so as not to upset the mayor's mood, but since the mayor insists on asking, I will reluctantly make a few comments."

"In my opinion, although these petrified buildings are tall, they are too rough, and the details cannot withstand scrutiny."

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

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

After a few words of map cannon were fired, the expressions of the people present in the northern border became a little gloomy.

O'Brien's assistant Leia couldn't stand it and was coldly sarcastic.

"Sir Mason has really good taste, but don't you know that newborn babies are clumsy and weak. No one with normal sense would expect babies to be able to run and jump like adults right away."

‘Uh-huh~~’

Sir Mason chuckled softly.

"What this lady said makes sense, but you forgot a premise."

Leia sneered: "Sir, please clarify."

Sir Mason continued his eloquent speech.

"The same baby is born into a noble family and has been carefully cultivated, so it naturally has a bright future. But a baby from a farmer's family, even if it grows up, is still farming in the fields, and there is no big future at all."

These words are very hurtful, implying that the northern border is a large rural area.

Rosen looked at Mona in confusion: "Director Mona, I want to know, is this knight here to help adjust the equipment?"

Why does he feel like he's here to be beaten?

Mona smiled awkwardly: "Among the Eastlanders we deal with, Sir Mason is already considered easy-going. Otherwise, you just pretend you didn't hear me?"

Can you pretend you didn’t hear this?

You are being ridiculed by outsiders on your own territory, and you still have to endure it?

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

Rosen's face darkened, and he was ready to teach this foul-mouthed thing a lesson.

But as soon as his hand tightened, someone grabbed him. When he turned around, he saw that it was O'Brien, the master of weapon refining.

"how?"

O'Brien spoke from the heart.

"The alchemy equipment in the East is the best in the Golden Land and is unique. It cannot be purchased elsewhere."

"Although Precision Balance is not a big workshop in the Eastern Territory, it is one of the few equipment workshops willing to do business with the Northern Territory."

"Although this knight is indeed arrogant, if you offend him, your future purchase of equipment will be greatly hindered. It's just a matter of whim, and it's not worth it."

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

In his previous life, he ran a factory and experienced the frustration of having core technology in the hands of others many times. If the other party sent a salesperson, you would have to provide for him.

When someone slaps you, you have to smile and say it was a good slap.

But this life is different, he does not lack core skills.

It's not like he couldn't live without this equipment.

At worst, he designs and develops it himself, but he doesn't believe he can't defeat these alien natives.

So, Rosen smiled: "Master, thank you for your kind words, but this Sir is really bullying. Even without his help, I can still use this equipment."

O'Brien was startled and immediately advised: "It's not a question of whether to use it or not, but a question of whether we can continue to cooperate."

"If you offend them and buy this batch, you won't be able to buy the next batch."

After a pause, he added softly: "The Duke of the East has explicitly banned the export of precision equipment to the North. Our alchemists in the North have very little choice, but they have no worries about selling."

After hearing this, Rosen completely understood Sir Mason’s confidence.

Just like the small brands in developed countries in the previous life, they could only survive in their own countries, but when they arrived in the poor third world countries, they immediately became the superior big boss, and they were treated as super nationals in everything they did.

There was something in his mind: "It seems that alchemy equipment is also a big opportunity."

He made up his mind to set up an alchemy equipment workshop to make money as an alchemist.

As for this Sir Mason, he is just a clown and not worth wasting your time on.

So, he smiled lightly: "Master, I understand. Thank you for your kind reminder."

O'Brien thought he heard it, nodded and smiled slightly, and said no more.

Rosen then looked at Sir Mason and said with a slight smile: "Sir, no more gossip, everything has been moved into the laboratory. Why don't we start debugging the equipment now?"

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

The group entered the alchemy laboratory.

When he reached Gendeloni, he gently squeezed her little hand for comfort.

Gendeloni immediately found someone to confide in and whispered to Rosen in the voice of her soul: "I have never hated a person so much."

Rosen nodded in agreement: "It is indeed very annoying. We have also started to build an alchemy equipment workshop, specifically to grab the business of precision balances and make it go bankrupt!"

Gendeloni's eyes lit up: "Okay, it's settled."

But then he grimaced again.

"Alchemy equipment is not easy to make. Although the principle is not difficult, we in the north do not have the rare materials for making alchemy equipment, and no one knows how to refine them. We still have to go to the east to buy them."

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

"Don't worry, there will always be a way."

Afterwards, the group entered the alchemy laboratory.

The laboratory is very spacious, with an area of ​​half a ram. It is bright, dry and ventilated, and has many rounded stone platforms for placing various instruments.

Sir Mason looked around the room and found no serious fault.

"Judging from the setup of the alchemy laboratory, it's okay, but I'm not sure whether the constant petrification effect on the surrounding walls will affect the operation of the equipment."

This is true, and Rosen has indeed considered it: "I have done some tests and found no perceptible significant effects."

The constant structure from Van Delon is a restrained and self-sustaining structure that is very stable and rarely releases power to the outside world. Otherwise, it would not have existed stably for 40 years.

Sir Mason shook his head: "Mayor Rosen, don't jump to conclusions easily."

"As a special specialist of the precision balance workshop, I have to remind you that due to the special nature of petrochemical buildings, we will not be responsible if unexpected problems occur during subsequent use of the instrument."

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

Upon hearing this, Rosen's heart moved, and he already knew this guy's true intention.

This guy is a very savvy businessman and his arrogance is just part of his negotiating skills.

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

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this thing has great future, and the people in the East naturally know it even better.

Therefore, he wanted to take petrochemical materials back to study.

However, in Crescent Town, destroying buildings is a crime. Guards are always supervising, and the management of petrochemical staffs is also very strict. It is difficult for outsiders to obtain petrochemical materials legally.

When the petrochemical business expands greatly in the future, petrochemical materials will naturally be easy to obtain. But if you want to make money in business, you need to seize the opportunity to be one step ahead of others.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to eat hot shit.

So, this guy came up with the idea.

‘Hehe, you think beautifully. ’

Although it was not a big deal to have petrified materials taken away, he just felt disgusted with this guy.

So, he turned to look at the precision alchemy equipment being moved onto the round table one by one, and replied casually.

"Sir Mason, I have no obligation to help you adjust the accuracy of the equipment. If you want to study the impact of petrification, you can, you have to pay for it."

Mason's face froze, knowing that his intention was guessed by the other party, he simply asked: "What price?"

Rosen narrowed his eyes at him.

"To the people of the North, I give it away for free, and to the friendly Eastlanders as well. But to the people of the Precision Scale Workshop, especially you, Sir Mason, I offer ten thousand crowns per kilogram."

Sir Mason's face turned green and he sneered: "Mayor, your uncooperative attitude is very detrimental to our subsequent cooperation."

"I don't care about subsequent cooperation, whether you want to sell or not."

"As for now, continue to fulfill your training obligations, Sir Mason. Otherwise, I will withhold the final payment for the equipment on the grounds of refusing to provide expected services."

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

"Master, please help me to ensure that these cunning businessmen from the east don't take advantage of us people from the north!"

O'Brien had a wry smile on his face: "Mayor Rosen, you didn't listen to a word of what I said."

"Master, I have a stubborn temper, and I can't bear to see people from the East showing off their power in our Northern Territory!"

O'Brien didn't agree with this sentimental move, but he wouldn't argue with Rosen.

Because he is neither an elder of Rosen nor a relative or friend of Rosen, he has no obligation to help him correct the deviations in his life.

"Okay, I keep my promise."

He stepped forward and began to carefully examine the various alchemical equipment ordered by Rosen.

After he left, Hayley Sonja came up, and her soft voice with a hint of hoarseness reached Rosen's ears through the language of the soul.

"Mayor Rosen, it seems that the rumors are not credible. You may be cunning, but you are not tactful. You have your own persistence in your heart."

Rosen sighed softly: "I have persistence, but I'm afraid I'll have to make all the alchemy equipment myself~"

Princess Hailisoya raised her eyebrows slightly: "It's not easy to build it yourself. Is Mayor Rosen sure of this?"

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

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

But naturally he would not keep his words and exaggerate the difficulties. How could he reflect the greatness of his achievements?

So, he sighed: "I don't know either. In short, let's move forward as best we can. Without seeking to completely surpass them, at least we in the north must have our own alchemy equipment workshop."

"Otherwise, I will be controlled by the Eastern Territory at all times, and my alchemy level in the Northern Territory will never be able to surpass that of the Eastern Territory, and I will have no choice but to follow the Eastern Territory and eat dust forever."

Hailey Sonja was shocked and turned to stare at Rosen.

Rosen didn't dodge and looked back at Hayley Sonja seriously.

After a long time, Hailey Sonja asked: "Do you really think so?"

Rosen smiled lightly: "I don't just think so. In fact, I have just taken the first step, eliminating the possibility of compromise."

Hailey Sonja nodded slowly: "Yes, you have already taken a step."

There was a hint of emotion on her face: "It is truly a blessing from God the Father to have a wise and persistent person like you in our northern territory~"

But he used the honorific title.
