Wizard: I crush the legend with my martial arts

Chapter 62: Coming to Apologize (Please collect, read, and vote)

Alphonse put his hands on the ground and jumped up.

"Come in."

The door opened, and a tall young man wearing a black cloak, handsome face, appeared at the door.

The Sweet family has good genes, and Branta is quite handsome.

But when he saw the face of the man following Branta clearly, Alphonse was a little confused.

It's Monica.

Bring her to apologize?

Don’t you want to renew your engagement?
  What are you thinking about? !
  However, through the candlelight in the room, it could be seen that Monica was in a very bad mood, with a sad face and abnormally red and swollen eyes, as if she had been crying for a long time.

Branta put one hand on her chest and abdomen, and put the other behind her back. She pulled her right leg back slightly and bowed in salute.

Monica also lifted up her skirt and bowed slightly.

While Alphonse was observing them, Branta was also quietly observing Alphonse.

The faint smoke filling the room had caught his attention.

Fortunately, it's not the smell of psychedelic drugs.

He had met Alphonse before at a gathering of nobles.

At that time, Alphonse always had a shy and humble smile on his face, and he also deliberately tried to please the noble children of various families.

In the past, he would have looked down upon such a person and never thought of getting close to him.

But now Alphonse's whole demeanor is obviously different. His face is cold and stern. Although it is slightly gloomy, it actually gives people a feeling of calmness and self-power.

He has changed so much!

Seeing that the two of them were very polite, Alphonse didn't like to speak harshly and pointed at the table and chairs on the side of the bedroom.

"sit down."

Then he turned to the maid outside the door and said, "Go and prepare the drinks for the guests."

In this different world, Alphonse has never seen tea leaves.

Nobles usually entertain guests with herbal soup or fruit wine.

Herbal soup is a soup made from a mixture of mint, rosemary, and chamomile, which has a soothing effect.

However, Branta did not take her seat immediately and stopped her, saying, "There is no need for drinks. I have important matters to discuss with you, Lord Baron, and it is inconvenient to be disturbed."

After hearing what he said, Alphonse asked the maid to retreat and rest.

As soon as the maid left, Monica immediately closed the door.

Alphonse is not worried about what the two of them can do to him. Monica is just a rich girl with no power, and Branta will not do anything extraordinary if she brings her here.

Besides, the current me is not something that just two people can deal with.

He pulled up a chair and sat down, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Branta smiled and said, "I heard that an iron ore vein was found in His Excellency the Baron's territory?"

"Yes, there is such a thing." Alphonse nodded, "But what does this have to do with you?"

Branta was scolded, but she was not angry at all, "I also heard that Your Excellency, Baron, is recruiting blacksmiths through the Fulkrod Chamber of Commerce."

"That's right." Alphonse felt pain when he mentioned this. The matter of recruiting blacksmiths with a high salary was entrusted to the Fulkrod Chamber of Commerce, and he has not heard back yet.

It doesn't seem to be going well.

Unexpectedly, people from the Sweet family were attracted here.

Could it be that they see a profit and want a share of the pie?

"To tell you the truth, in this area of ​​the north, the best blacksmith is in our Blue Feather Collar, and our family also spent a lot of money to hire a dwarf craftsman from the commercial capital of Izmer Kingdom." Bran Ta said.

Alphonse suddenly became interested, "Can you send a blacksmith to be my hired worker?"

"It's not impossible." Branta laughed.

"What are the conditions?" Alphonse asked.

Branta did not answer directly, "I came here mainly to apologize to my sister for breaking off the engagement with the Baron."

"There is no need to mention the engagement." Alphonse raised his hand to interrupt him, "Although Monica brought up this matter first, I will not consider getting married for the time being. Even if I have the intention, I wouldn’t consider Monica as a candidate either.”

"The regret of the marriage is just Monica's unilateral decision." Branta sighed and smiled awkwardly, "When my father proposed this marriage to the late Baron, he also hoped that we could form an alliance. relation."

"I don't want to continue this topic anymore. If you want to talk about the blacksmith, we can talk about it and forget about it."

Alphonse knew very well that if Baron Sweetwood wanted to apologize for the engagement, he would not have sent someone to the door after so long.

Now he eagerly came over to me and gave me this excuse. Who would believe it?

The so-called "not going to the Three Treasures Palace for anything" must be something he wants from the Cold Wind Leader.

"This matter is indeed an offense caused by our family's disrespect. We should solemnly apologize to you." Branta still refused to give up.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault!" Monica, who had been listening, lowered her head and said softly.

It could be heard that her voice was very hoarse and no longer crisp as before.

But Branta kept talking about him, which made Alphonse lose his patience and didn't care about Monica's apology at all.

"There is no need to say anything more about apologizing. If you are not willing to send a blacksmith, then please come back."

Branta hesitated for a moment, then straightened her expression, "We, the Blue Feather Collar, are about to face a war, and we urgently need your help, Baron."

Alphonse smiled and said, "You have to face a war. It's none of my business. Why should I help you?"

"Our family is willing to pay 20,000 gold coins for your assistance, Lord Baron, and can also provide expert miner guidance for your mines, and send blacksmiths to work for you free of charge, and..." Branta paused, "My My sister Monica will also give you an apology gift to show our family’s apology.”

Alphonse was stunned.

What plane are you doing?
  How could the Swood family give their daughter away as a gift?

The Hanfeng Guards' annual military expenditure does not cost 20,000 gold coins. This condition is extremely generous.

Seeing Alphonse fall into silence, Branta added, "Baron, you don't have to worry, Monica doesn't dare to ask for the position of baroness, she will only become your lover."

"What's going on?" Alphonse frowned.

Branta's expression became particularly gloomy, "The Blue Feather Territory has fertile land and rich mineral veins, which makes our territory more and more wealthy. Some time ago, the ore of the Holy Snow Crystal was excavated. But I didn’t expect that the veins of holy snow crystals would bring disaster.”

"What is the Holy Snow Crystal?" Alphonse couldn't help but interjected and asked.

"Holy snow crystals are a necessary material for making potions. The crystals contain pure magic elements and are expensive, comparable to gold." Branta did not hide anything and answered truthfully.

"Go on." Alphonse motioned.
