Chapter 136 General Manager of the Sarling Chamber of Commerce
You can afford it and let it go. If it weren't for each other's positions and camps, Leon would be very willing to be friends with this tiger female knight.
In contrast, the Roddick Wolf Knight next to him is more like a clown.
"Coffney Knight, you are so polite. It's my duty to defend the territory." Leon nodded indifferently: "I will report the achievements to the provincial girder headquarters and the Tomund Temple."
Compared with the most important achievements in the Kingdom of Mongolia, most nobles will not be able to climb to a higher level in their lives without making achievements.
Because of the lack of understanding when Leon was in the roaring forest, the ground spirits and black elves who led the tribe to destroy did not become real gains, and naturally they were not recognized by the kingdom.
After this victory in the dark place, he did not forget the previous lesson. All the destroyed black elves and the earth spirit warriors left a symbol of the surname.
The head and nose of these two sacks, getting the military headquarters is a real record, and it will also be an important weight for Leon to be promoted to a higher title in the future.
With this record and the dedication of 8,000 gold coins, the provincial gircon has absolutely nothing to say.
If he really cares about it carefully, Leon can prove the record of destroying a city of gobre, then as long as the temple gives support, it is not a problem for him to be promoted again.
Connone understood this, so her attitude towards Leon changed immediately.
And Leon didn't mean to be too popular. As the saying goes, Salling still needs a period of stable development. He doesn't want to attract too much attention.
"Baron, in fact, you can report your achievements to the provincial gaders through us." Roddick looked at the sacks on the ground and said.
He woke up from the shock just now, and an extremely complicated look flashed in the wolf's eyes: "We can also explain the situation of Sal's leadership to the grison, which is good for both of us."
Sal's territory belongs to the Gree region, and the Rock Fortress is the headquarters of the galle region. If Leon's record is reported by the Rock Fortress, both sides can indeed benefit.
It's just that if it hadn't been for the previous festival, Leon might have really been a smooth favor, but he is not a teenager.
Leon doesn't think that if he sends this favor, his enmity with the rock fortress will be written off, and who can guarantee that the fortress will not swallow up his own merit and bite him in turn?
This Roddick doesn't look like a good guy. He thinks that if he fake smiles, Leon will gladly accept it?
Dream!
Leon didn't answer, but just looked at Convne with a smile on his face.
Confé sighed gently: "Rodick, Baron Leon has his own ideas, and we can't force it."
After a pause, she continued, "I will report Salling's advice to the military department, Baron Leon. It's time for us to leave now."
Leon got up and smiled and said, "Don't be so anxious. I want to hold a dinner for you in the evening to express my apology for letting you wait for three days."
However, neither Convne nor Roddick had the idea of staying, especially the wolf knight, who felt that his face had been completely swept away, wanted to eat people, and stared at Leon with great resentment before leaving.
Two uninvited guests were sent away, and Leon immediately asked Concordia to take the booty and 10,000 gold coins to Tomond City.
With the relationship of the temple, it will not be surprising that this record is recognized.
......Salling ushered in a new night.
The cool evening breeze took away the heat of summer, bringing the smell of green forests in the distance, and the city of Sal at the beginning of the lanterns became more and more noisy.
The porcupine bar is very lively. The bold and rude mercenaries, shrewd businessmen, and depressed bardsmen... can all find their own places here.
The maids here were finally replaced by beautiful cat and rabbit girls. In the face of competition from several other bars in the city, the boss Fat Richard finally realized that he could not make a lot of money by relying on delicious food alone.
He recruited four bar girls at a high price through the mercenary union, and the business was really booming.
The wandering artist holding the horse-headed piano huddled in the corner and sang the warrior's hymn. The mercenaries talked and laughed loudly, which became the epitome of the prosperity of the emerging territory.
When Leon came to the porcupine bar, he couldn't find a vacant seat. He had to stand in front of the bar like other late people and ask the cat girl with two dimples for a glass of liqueur.
It has been three days since I returned to Sal City from the dark place. For three days, Leon has dealt with the accumulated things in the lord's house.
At present, Salling is gradually on the right track, followed by many busy affairs. Although some of them have been handled by Elder Munstein and others, the most important decision still has to be decided by him.
For the future of the territory, Leon has to exhaust his efforts, and it is rare to come out to relax at night.
Fat Richard is not here, and the mercenaries and new girls in the bar don't know him, but Leon feels more natural. He doesn't want his appearance to destroy the atmosphere here.
With a glass of cold maiju, Leon felt much more relaxed.
"Guest, would you like another drink? The newly brewed maiju is very fresh!" The cat girl behind the bar asked with a smile.
"Well! Then have another drink!" Leon laughed. Hehehehe
The catwoman looks very cute in a black and white maid costume, with a delicate figure and fluffy ears.
"Alas! It's over, it's all over..."
Leon was about to open his mouth to tease her when suddenly there was a long sigh from the side. The sad tone was really sad and the listener's tears.
Leon was curious and couldn't help turning his head to look at it.
I saw a fox businessman sitting beside him.
He is about 40 years old, and his dress is the most common kind of gray camel businessman. His face is haggard and his eyes are dull. He is holding a glass of maiju in his hand. I don't know what he is thinking. It seems that he has almost drunk.
The Mongolian fox people are naturally intelligent. As one of the six superiors, they can almost control the economic lifeline of the kingdom, and there are countless fox descendants engaged in commercial trade.
Fox merchants have an extremely sensitive sense of business. Nowadays, there are many small businessmen like this in Sal City.
"Mr. Ranieri is drunk again..." The cat girl behind the bar shook her head with a sympathetic look on her face: "He is so pitiful!"
"What's going on?" Leon asked and picked up the wort handed over by the cat girl.
The cat girl sighed and said, "Mr. Ranieri's business has been at a loss. He has been drinking with me for three days. Every time he is drunk and asked someone to carry him back to the hotel. I think he will drink to death if he drinks like this!"
It turned out that this guy named Ranieri had followed the elders of the family to the business province since he was a child. He had been to many places in the mainland and was a senior businessman.
But I don't know if it's the curse of fate. Others have done well for more than ten years, and he has been a low-level businessman for decades.
It's not that he doesn't work hard, but that bad luck always follows him. If his business gets a little better, he will suffer a lot of trouble. As soon as he has savings, he will be clean. Even his peers are far away from him for fear of being stained with bad luck.
This time, he heard that Salle had a great business opportunity, so he tried his best to organize a small business team to fight a turnaround. He didn't expect that he first met the inspection team in Colinworth and was levied a considerable heavy tax.
Then on the way to the Sal collar, he lost two gray camels and finally arrived at the city of Sal.
Originally, I thought that I could get back the loss by selling the goods here, but I didn't expect that the goods he brought were not rare goods in Sal City, and the price was even cheaper than outside!
All the goods can't be sold in hand, and it is even more impossible to take them back, because the caravan from Sal passed through Colinworth, and the goods had to be taxed again!
At this time, Ranieri completely collapsed. In despair, he came to the porcupine bar every day to drink and drown his sorrows. The cat girl also learned about it in a chat with him.
"What kind of goods did he bring?" Leon asked curiously, "Why can't it be sold in Sal City?"
The cat girl smiled and said, "Most of them are products produced by the human race, such as porcelain, weapons, spices and so on."
Porcelain weapons? Leon also smiled when he heard it. The porcelain, weapons, etc. produced by the human race are best-selling goods in the Kingdom of Bimon, and the risk of long-distance trafficking is not small and the profit is not low.
But Ranieri didn't know that although the Sal territory was located on the edge of the kingdom, it was not a primitive society. All the craftsmen under Rubin had unique skills, and the firing porcelain and refining weapons were their strengths.
There are several weapons and porcelain workshops in Sal City, and there are many corresponding shops. The accumulated goods that cannot be exported are piled up with warehouses.
Under such circumstances, the fox businessman took the trouble to come here with a large number of porcelain weapons, and it was strange not to lose the bottom of his underwear!
I guess this businessman's luck is really cursed, but Leon also admires him very much. He has been accompanied by ups and downs for decades, but he has always persisted. This perseverance and perseverance are undoubtedly worthy of praise.
Leon's heart suddenly moved and said to the cat girl, "Give me a glass of wisteria juice."
Wisteria juice is a kind of juice squeezed from a vine plant in the forest. After preparation, it tastes sweet and delicious, and has a good sobering effect.
The cat girl felt a little strange, but she still followed Leon's instructions to make wisteria juice.
Leon reached out and patted the fox businessman on the shoulder, and the other party turned his head drunkly: "Who are you? What do you want to do? I'm bankrupt now, and I can't afford to hire mercenaries!"
He regarded Leon as a mercenary in business.
Leon smiled and said, "Mr. Ranieri, right? I'm not a mercenary. I want to talk to you about a big business!"
"Business? What big business?" Ranieri was still muddle-headed: "Don't drive with me. You're kidding. You're trying to laugh at me, aren't you? It must be!"
Leon didn't talk much nonsense with the drunkard and took the wistine juice from the cat girl.
He reached out and pinched Ranieri's chin, forced the other party to open his mouth, and then quickly poured wisteria juice out of his mouth!
Ranieri was caught off guard, swallowing the purple juice and almost spewed out of his nose.
After such a show, and the effect of wisteria juice was really good, the fox businessman finally woke up: "You, what do you want to do?"
"I said, I want to make a business with you, a business that may change your fate." Leon said lightly, "Are you really not going to listen to it?"
Ranieri was completely stunned. He couldn't understand what Leon meant, but he also felt that Leon was not joking.
"It's too noisy here. Let's go to the tea restaurant opposite and talk about it!" Leon said and threw a yellow gold coin to the cat girl: "Don't look for it. The rest is your tip."
"Thank you, sir!" The cat girl happily received the gold coins and gave a wink at Leon - such a generous guest is rare.
After sitting down in the small room of the teahouse, Ranieri completely woke up and said, "You, no, are you the lord of Sal, Baron Leon?"
The fox businessman's eyes were bigger than the copper bell, and his expression suddenly became excited.
As a senior businessman, he suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity to change his fate. The only concern was whether Leon was lying to him.
But Ranieri thought about it carefully, he had almost nothing, and what else was worth cheating?
"Yes, as long as we can negotiate business, I can take you to the lord's house later..." Leon nodded and said, "Mr. Ranieri, I don't want to talk more nonsense."
"I can pay for all your goods, and as a condition, you need to work for me and join our upcoming Chamber of Commerce. Of course, the salary will be paid according to the rules, and you will not lose a copper coin."
Is there such a good thing? Ranieri couldn't believe his ears.
Under the surprise, he suddenly had an inexplicable panic: "But, but my luck seems to be really cursed by the god of fate, I'm afraid..."
"You don't need to be afraid of failure. You used to make money for yourself, but now you make money for me..." Leon laughed and said, "The surname is completely different."
"I just want to ask you, are you willing to work for me?"
"Yes, I do!" Ranieri said loudly.
He felt that he seemed to have really touched the skirt of the goddess of luck, but he was in hell but suddenly found the light in front of him, and the excitement in his heart was indescribable.
He has failed too many times and is so eager to change his fate.
Ranieri still doesn't know whether it is such an opportunity to play for Leon, but he vowed to do his best from the bottom of his heart.
Because of him, I can't afford to lose anymore!
"Very good, so from now on, you are the general manager of our Salling Chamber of Commerce!"
