my wife is a consul

Chapter 740 Trade
The hall on the first floor of the tower on the right side of the castle is the throne court of Xuelong Castle.

At this time, Lu Ming was sitting on a single wooden chair, a few steps away from the high platform and long table, the five throne judges sat in turn, and Judge Gu Di sat second on the right.

Duke Xuelong is a hale and hearty old man, dressed in medieval clothes, sitting in the public gallery, followed by several nobles, that is, warriors, similar to the knight class in the previous medieval age.

There are also five heirs to the judges in the public gallery, some are four or fifty years old, and there is also a child who is seven or eight years old.

Lu Ming studied the "Code of the Throne" yesterday, and submitted a document to apply to become a trader in Xuelong Castle.

"Northern Continent, you can trade with us. Can you transport goods?" The chief judge of the throne is an extremely dignified old man. Several judges are dressed in snow-white robes. There are four old men and a middle-aged man in his 30s.

"The journey from the Northern Continent to here is extremely long, and we have to avoid the barbarians. It is difficult to transport a large amount of goods, but I am confident that I can come and go." Lu Ming took out his windproof lighter and said: "But you can trade this kind of small item, and it's very convenient to light a fire." While speaking, while Fedro was still translating, he pressed the button, and the lighter ignited a flame.

"Oh?" Several judges looked at this scene in surprise.

Duke Xue Long couldn't control court etiquette any more, he got up and took two steps, "Mr. Lu, can I have a look at your ignition tool."

Lu Ming handed it to him and taught him to press the button and slide to start the ignition.

Duke Xuelong lit the fire a few times and asked, "How many times can this fire be lit?"

Lu Ming said: "There is a fuel inside. If you don't fill it repeatedly, it can be ignited about 200 times." This is not the kind of disposable lighter in the previous life, but a special cotton soaked in gasoline as the fuel. Disposable lighters are lit more times.

Even so, Duke Xue Long was also extremely surprised, and returned the lighter to Lu Ming enviously and reluctantly. Only then did he realize that it was in court, even as a Duke, he slightly touched his chest and bowed: "I'm sorry in court, it's me It's too menglang!" After apologizing, he retreated to the auditorium.

Several judges were also discussing something in whispers at this time.

Afterwards, the chief judge said: "Given your special status, you have special commodities that are not available in this continent, and Judge Gudi is your character guarantor, there is no problem in granting you the qualification to do business in Xuelong Castle." Lu Ming glanced, "If that's the case, those fierce beasts are your commodities for sale, and we have no right to deal with them, right?"

Lu Ming nodded: "Yes, sir, and those 51 sheep of mine are only strong enough to save the lives of many of us, so why slaughter them for the sake of fear? To defeat terror, you must first face it. I think that if Xue Long The children of the castle will be accustomed to these sheep from an early age, but they will become brave when encountering savage raids."

The chief judge nodded slightly: "We understand your request, temporarily adjourn the court, and announce our ruling in an hour."

Lu Ming nodded, stood up and bowed slightly, touching his chest.

……

As expected, the King's Seat Court granted Lu Ming a power of attorney for a trader in Snow Dragon Fort.

Duke Xuelong's carriage was waiting outside the court, and brought Lu Ming to the back of the main castle. It was a small two-story castle. From the outside, it looked like an arrow tower attached to the main castle.

The courtyard surrounded by wooden fences is very large, actually a big grassy slope with a winding moat, and there is also a grove of red fruit trees with hundreds of red fruit trees. A flock of camels is sure to be fine.

"The rent here is for you, and the rent will be waived for the time being." Duke Xue Long said with a smile.

Lu Ming turned around inside and out, feeling that it was not bad as his own sheep stable, "I'll bring the flock here." After thinking for a while, he took out the windproof lighter, "Master Duke, this is for you!"

Duke Xue Long was taken aback, "This..."

Lu Ming had already stuffed the lighter into his hand.

More than half an hour later, Lu Ming brought the flock of sheep over, gesticulating, and told the head sheep to take its little friends for a walk to familiarize themselves with the new environment. This kind of goat has a very high IQ and can quickly understand the meaning of the owner. .

The steward of Duke Xuelong arrived soon and brought a document for Lu Ming to sign, but it was Duke Xuelong who gave Lu Ming [-] households of serfs, [-] red fruit trees, and the lease of this side castle, free of charge. five years.

In addition, the Duke's manager also brought two charming maids, which were also given to Mr. Lu by Duke Xuelong.

At dusk, Judge Gudi came and brought a middle-aged man named Yatagu, who was a serf under the name of Judge Gudi. He had a lot of research on the cultivation of red fruit tree seedlings. Ming signed the contract.

After finishing all this work, Lu Ming said: "I think, I should go back and have a look." Looking at the flock of sheep leisurely gathering on the grass slope in the setting sun, "It will take about ten days to go back and forth. , My sheep are not in danger of being killed, right?"

Judge Gu Di nodded and said, "I can guarantee this!"

……

A few days later, in the middle of the night, Lu Ming walked through the dense forest and arrived at the forest bank where he broke up with several team members the first time.

His locomotive is no longer there.

Traveling northward all the way, at dawn, Lu Ming came to the steel fortress.

Unexpectedly, the steel fortress had been abandoned, and there was no one there, but a few fierce beasts rushed out of it, but they quickly avoided Lu Ming and disappeared without a trace.

Lu Ming traveled north again, and arrived at the bank of the glacier after a day.

The steel fortress and various dark forts here are still there.

The commander of the garrison is the chief dispatcher of the white blood cells.

Lu Ming was quickly brought in front of him.

"The headquarters has reached an agreement with the Satanists who rule the Southern Territory. We will not go further into the Southern Territory. The Satanists will also ensure that they will no longer drive the beasts to our continent."

The chief dispatcher cut to the chase.

"Satan?" Lu Ming still had no expression on his face.

"Didn't you see them? I thought you were released, because according to the agreement, some of our members trapped in the ice and snow will be returned by the Satanists. The first team that was all missing was guided by them." They turned around safely, but fell into an ice storm and almost wiped out the entire army." The chief dispatcher looked at Lu Ming, "They call themselves Satanists, and the pronunciation is Satan."

Lu Ming nodded: "I haven't seen them, what do they look like?"

"It's similar to us, but their eyes are all red, and they like to use goat horns as headdresses. They are very powerful, they know this place well, and they are very good at using various strange scenes in the ice and snow to set traps, and they are very fast. According to estimates, If we rely on aiming, it is difficult for our bullets to hit them, unless we shoot collectively and rely on intensive bullet rain. The headquarters believes that the southern region is too barren, and there is such a powerful ethnic rule, there is no need to conflict with them. Of course, they also have a new understanding of our technological level, so they came forward to negotiate with us."

Lu Ming nodded silently, Satan?Could it be the so-called royal family among the barbarians that Gu Di mentioned?
Then he said: "I have contacted a country in the southern region, and I request to continue to keep in touch with them. I will record the information of this country in detail, and ask the headquarters to evaluate whether it is necessary to continue contacting."

The chief dispatcher nodded: "I agree with you to submit the report."
