Chapter 130 Encountering an Enemy on the Water Surface
"You'd better give me the address directly. I'll take someone to buy it. I don't dare to make your old man too hard."

"Oh, my fragile heart has been seriously hurt. President Bai's doing this made me feel very sad." Pollock finished eating the balls in a few mouthfuls, held the stick in his mouth, lowered his head, and almost stuck his face into the picnic basket .

"Just like you, a famine refugee, I want to make me feel guilty that you're showing off your looks anyway, handsome guy died, tsk tsk tsk."

"That won't work, I'm only sold to noble ladies." Pollock threw away the stick in his mouth, and took out a paper bag from the basket, which turned out to be a grilled chicken burger.

"Hmm, you really don't need my sympathy. You deserve to lose me as a long-term customer." Bai Tongtong rolled his eyes and despised this guy.

"I believe there must be better opportunities for cooperation between us." Pollock took a bite of the hamburger and wiped off a bit of the sauce on his lips with his thumb.

"As far as your virtue is concerned, I would rather trust the Camerina family, at least the envoy they sent to negotiate is heavy enough."

"Which one?"

Bai Tongtong raised her eyebrows high, "Want to know? I won't tell you."

"If you don't tell me, I can guess it. Since the partner is you, it must be the head of the family who sent the immediate family members to make it worthwhile. First of all, exclude the daughters."

"nonsense."

"If you choose from among the sons, it will not be the eldest son."

"Why not the eldest son?"

"Want to know?" Pollock raised an eyebrow.

"Do you dare to say it and try it." Bai Tongtong immediately threatened.

"Because the eldest son is not free, he went back to his mother's house with his wife." Pollock winked and played with Bai Tongtong a little.

"Tch! You did it on purpose!"

Pollock bit his hamburger and nodded in acknowledgment with a smirk.

"Okay, I don't want to hear it anymore."

"Oh, that can't be done. You brought up this topic in the first place." Pollock quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, "The most likely messenger of the remaining two sons is the second son Fidom, Kashan The leader of the Knights. It must be him, so you don’t need to try to guess, when the head of the family and the eldest son are at a loss, Fidom is the best substitute.”

"In short, you are deliberately playing me. Harding has overheard the information. Do you still know who came to negotiate with me?"

"That's what we call chatting. How can we talk if we don't have something to talk about?"

"Chatting with you is the most annoying thing, it's better to have a good chat with Fidom." Bai Tongtong rubbed his hands happily, his eyebrows beaming, "He is also an expert in metal ores, and he gave me a lot of advice. I hit it off with him. See you later."

"He's not married yet, do you want to think about it too?"

"He looks about the same age as me, still unmarried?"

"The price of becoming the head of the Knights. Now he is one of the unmarried sons of nobles who attracts a lot of attention. He is strong, capable, and good-looking. Women don't love such a man the most."

"That's right, the more handsome guys with good faces and figures, the better." Bai Tongtong squinted his eyes and recalled Fedum's appearance, "Well, I remembered that although he was wearing a four-piece long coat, his tights still set off his appearance. His figure, he's got a nice butt that's round and upright and muscular."

"Huh?! Cough cough!" Pollock was startled, coughing as he choked on the hamburger.

"Hey, why are you so scared? Everyone who works hard has this figure. The sexy waist and hips show that there is no ugly fat on the body." Bai Tongtong waved his hands and drew in the air, tilting his head at Pollock , staring at his thigh with raised eyebrows, "You too."

"Why do your words sound like those women standing on the street? Should I thank you for your compliment?"

"Oh, this shows that those women have the correct vision to distinguish between handsome and ugly men. If you praise a man with a pregnant belly, he looks so handsome and has a good body. If you give me more money, I can also praise him." into a flower."

"Your mercenary habits are really annoying." The criticism did not prevent Pollock from continuing to finish the hamburger in his hand.

"No matter how difficult life is, you have to learn to have some fun for yourself. To be honest, in the mercenary group, good figures really account for the majority. I am used to seeing them, and of course I don't like those nobles who can't eat. The clothes are more expensive. I originally thought that the nobles were proud of practicing swordsmanship every day, but later I found out that the swords on many people are decorations."

"Most of the people you see must be civil servants and nobles. Noble families who have made military achievements still care about the traditional honor of the family."

"Is the Viscount Camerina a civil servant or a military meritorious service?"

"If you really want to count on your ancestors, they were originally merchants. They helped the first king win the war and established a new kingdom by providing ore as military resources. After that, they were granted the title of Viscount, and their territory was also designated in the Wadai Hills and the Granary. The place where the plains meet is to thank them for their great help back then. Do you think they are civil servants or military exploits?"

"The two sides are not next to each other. Tsk, you can earn a noble by subsidizing military funds. This deal is really a bargain."

"The premise is that your judgment must be correct, and don't vote for the wrong camp. Those who win more battles may not necessarily win the final victory."

"Ah, then this trick is not suitable for peaceful times. I'd better use economic means to plot other people's land."

"Have you set your sights on the Camerina family's land?"

"Stop spreading rumors. Eat your food."

"I've been looking for new business opportunities, my sire. I'm really not reconciled to letting the Camerina family take away my business so easily." Pollock said with a pitiful look. The hamburger in his hand looked funny.

"Okay, don't pretend to be pitiful." Bai Tongtong pouted, Pollock really knew how to make full use of his complexion, a handsome guy frowning is also a handsome guy.

Pollock immediately stretched his brows and eyes, "There is still business for me, right? I know that the Camerina family can't handle all the business. There are too many raw materials needed for smelting, and they can't get all of them. Come out."

"Yes, you are the only one who is smart in this world, and you guessed it right again." Bai Tongtong glared at Pollock angrily.

"I'm sorry, I'm so smart." Pollock's thick skin can also make people vomit blood.

"Stop talking nonsense, if you really want to continue doing business with me, just get me all kinds of raw materials, whether you've seen them or haven't seen them, whether they're ores or natural animals and plants, as long as you can get them, I'll buy them for you." want."

"Can you give me a key point first? Even if I have found so many raw materials, you can't fit all the warehouses in your land."

"That's right, then get me some graphite first."

"The trade in Tamir's war was all used up? Didn't I see you make a few pen refills, isn't there too much waste in the experimental part?"

"Of course there are some leftovers, but not enough. At least get me a few cars. I want to make a kiln."

"Using graphite for a kiln?"

"Make graphite molds for kiln firing." Bai Tongtong rolled his eyes, "Talking to laymen is tiring."

"Obviously you didn't make it clear." Pollock went back with contempt, stuffed the last bite of the hamburger into his mouth, took out the teapot and teacup in the basket, and poured himself a cup to moisten his throat. He was finally full.

"In short, graphite is the best material for smelting, casting and molds, the more the better."

"You say the best is the best?"

"It does not deform under high temperature. The first finished product is the same as the [-]th or [-]th finished product, and the dimensional accuracy will not change. For example, glassworkers make utensils from wood. The mold needs to be replaced with a new one after being used for two thousand times, and the size of the first one will be different from the two thousandth one.”

"If what you said is true, then the price of this graphite will definitely increase in the future."

"I thought that when I used graphite to make refills, the price of this thing should increase. It's strange that there are not many merchants imitating my refills."

"Some people imitate a small amount of thick refills, but most people focus on thin refills, and businessmen are still looking for suitable production tools."

"Oh, what a group of down-to-earth businessmen. They have worked hard. I squeezed out the thin refill directly with magic."

"Do you want me to help you spread the news? I think it can save a lot of businessmen's energy and financial resources."

"Okay, save the money and wait for my future good things."

"The mold is for the smelting workshop, right? Can't you tell me about the good things you want to make?"

"How can I do that? What if the news is leaked? If I inspire someone else to make the same thing before me, then I won't be at a disadvantage?"

"Oh, how sad, my reputation is so bad."

"Compared to the Camerina family, you are indeed worse."

"Why does the Viscount family of Camerina necessarily represent high reputation?"

"Do they have a dirty secret in private?"

"I didn't say anything, I never spread rumors and wild guesses."

"Why do I feel that the guarantee you made has to be heard in reverse to be closer to the truth."

"Illusion, it must be your illusion, I never speak ironically."

"Tch, I don't want to waste time with you, I'll save my strength for fishing." Bai Tongtong finally remembered her fishing rod, took back the hook, put on the bait and threw it back into the water.

Pollock didn't leave when he was full. He slipped out in the afternoon under the pretense of going out on errands. He stole half a day's rest and didn't have to go back to the elders' house to show up. He happened to come here to get information about the Camerina family.

It is not surprising that the two parties have reached a business cooperation relationship. However, for a family whose aristocratic status is as long as the history of the kingdom, it is really not easy for Bai Tongtong, a commoner who is as white as white paper, to walk in, especially now that she is not Officially a magician, secondly not the official president, thirdly not the official owner of the Shadowless Cat, and fourthly without any background background, the identity of Principal Hart's disciple is not considered a figure in the eyes of the old nobleman.

Bai Tongtong attracts people's attention because of her explosive potential in the future, which attracts many people to deal with her. However, Pollock is always a little worried that she will be at a disadvantage when a commoner who has no strengths cooperates with an old nobleman. Absolutely not satisfied with just selling her ore.

Bai Tongtong completely ignored Pollock who was in a daze beside her. She concentrated on catching her fish. There were many schools of fish under the water circling around the bait, but none of them bit the bait. It was really anxious to wait.

Pollock squinted his eyes and dozed off slowly in the sun. In this warm spring breeze, he temporarily got rid of the heavy work and relaxed.

Bai Tongtong waited eagerly for a fish that was biting the bait, and seized the opportunity to lift the fishing rod and catch it with the dip net in the other hand. Just as the struggling fish fell into the dip net, Pollock suddenly jumped up and slammed into the net. He pulled Bai Tongtong tightly, pressed her head and pulled her into his arms, but there was only a swishing sound beside his ear, and something flew past with a sharp momentum.

The boat shook violently during this movement, and both of them couldn't stand still. They both fell back into the boat and let go of the fishing gear before they were taken back in the boat. The fish narrowly escaped death, unhooked and went away.

"My fish!" Bai Tongtong gritted his teeth and stared at the lake water, leaning on the sides of the boat with both hands and looking around, "Which guy is messing with me!"

Pollock slowly flashed a short arrow from behind, which was intercepted by his magic the moment he just passed by.

"This is a crossbow bolt."

"Someone wants to kill me?" Bai Tongtong took the crossbow arrow in his hand and looked it over carefully. The blood groove was opened by the arrow, which was a labor-intensive thing.

"Have you offended someone again?"

"Unless the church wants to kill me."

"The church in this country will not let you die in the country."

"Then I'm relieved."

"Have you offended someone from abroad?"

"Impossible, I have never left the country except to buy slaves here."

"However, there are many people coming from the water grass in front." In Pollock's hands, the wind is his eyes and ears, "with weapons."

"who?"

"Across the river, the people of Wismar."

"Are they the ones who shot the arrows just now?"

"Hmm, maybe your boat is too close to them."

"Then they are invading the country and crossing the border to attack?"

"Yes. Have you ever been deep in the forest?"

"No."

"Then remember to go to the forest to check later."

"As a smuggler, you have been going in and out of the forest all day, can't you just tell me what they are hiding in the forest in our territory?"

"Do you think I will run through the entire forest on two legs?" Pollock folded his hands and looked towards the right front of the bow.

"Okay. I'd better ask them." Bai Tongtong adjusted his sitting posture, moved the bow of the boat with the oars, and faced the direction where the enemy was coming.

"As long as you beat President Bai to the ground, you can get free entertainment. The president has heard about it. You have been trained by the mages for so long, just to show me how much progress you have made." Pollock laughed with an attitude of staying out of the matter. road.

"You will be disappointed, I don't have the ability to fight back in front of the mages."

"Learn how to fight back after being beaten." Pollock chuckled lightly.

Bai Tongtong silently raised her hand and gave him a middle finger.

Between the two people talking back and forth, a fleet of ships finally emerged from behind a piece of water grass in front of them, and as they appeared, soldiers with crossbows appeared among the water plants, and the arrows reflected in the sun. Cold light.

"Hey, this invasion is too much, we need to fight!"

"Now you can realize how annoying the mercenaries running around in various countries are?" Pollock grabbed two oars and steadily controlled the boat to meet each other, leaving Bai Tongtong to deal with this scene alone.

"Well, I know I'm not a crowd pleaser. Isn't that what drives people to their death in front of the crossbowmen?"

"If you can't kill even a few crossbowmen, the mages who practice with you every day will cry to death." Pollock grinned at Bai Tongtong.

Bai Tongtong gave him two middle fingers fiercely.
