Chapter 291 Big Business and Small Negligence

Momo found her mother. For children, her mother is her whole world, but for despicable and shameless adults, it's just a matter of talking after dinner.

Momo's mother is a pretty woman, and she also has half of the blood of a dilapidated nobleman, which is something to be thankful for.In the eyes of Baron Farah, this is a rare stunner, at least qualified to sleep with the baron, instead of being spoiled by the vicious dogs rewarded to him.

Of course, to Baron Farah, this kind of woman is like the wheat in his own field, if you rob it, you will rob it, and there will be no psychological burden.Similarly, since the general has expressed interest, it is no big deal to send it out.Since doing big things requires the tolerance to do big things, Baron Farah has a particularly clear understanding of this point.

In the script prepared in advance, El and his party should borrow food first, and then save the beauty as a hero. In short, they need to find a reason to divide the land from the local tyrants, but unexpectedly, it turned into an underground transaction.The knight of justice that Kennan is responsible for playing is completely useless.

So everyone saw with their own eyes, the ability of El and Laurana, a pair of dogs and men, to work together.El rewrote the script on a whim, and Laurana proofread the newly compiled script under the watchful eyes of everyone, and then began to fool around in a serious way, letting the children who came over see the world of adults How dirty.

Baron Farah's own manor does not have much food, but he can use the name of Sword Castle to call other small nobles in the surrounding area to gather the food they originally wanted to hand in, and then sell it all to El.As long as he got this sum of money, he didn't need to worry about Jianbao, and he could run away boldly overnight.

It is impossible for a small person of Baron Farah's level to have such courage, but Laurana gave him a few reassurances, first of all, the renegotiation of the price.If you don't bargain for such a big game, even a pig will have doubts. After some hypocrisy and coercion, the two parties finally settled on a price that is three times the market price.Although it seems that this price is Baron Farah's loss, but considering that he is doing a no-cost business this time, the overall income has greatly exceeded Mr. Baron's expectations, and this price is more able to prove the sincerity of the people of Istaren. .

In addition, Baron Farah does not need to take any risks. If El can't get the cash during the transaction, he can cancel the transaction and send the batch of grain to Sword Castle as he claimed, at least You can also gain a good reputation for doing things well.And after the transaction was completed, he left with his belongings. Jianbao focused on food, and even if he wanted to pursue responsibility, he would have to wrestle with the people of Eastalen. It was impossible to have the energy to manage him at this time.

Of course, Baron Farah's heart was moved by all the above conditions, but the people from Istaren came from afar after all, even if he had a hundred wishes in his heart, there would always be some doubts and scruples.So Laurana very thoughtfully put the last straw that broke the camel's back—please ask the golden hand Mr. Thomas to come out as a witness.

Sword Fort bordered on the brown earth hills to the south. As the most powerful smuggling businessman in the south, one could imagine the connections of Golden Hand in Sword Fort.With the scale of Mr. Thomas's business, the area of ​​Sword Castle is not enough to meet his trading needs, and the person standing behind him is probably a certain important figure under the Truth Society... But this is not the issue that needs to be concerned now, Laura All Na needed was his prestige and reputation in the Sword Castle area to dispel Baron Farah's last doubt.

Sure enough, when Laurana mentioned Mr. Thomas, the hesitation on Baron Farah's face immediately dissipated, and he patted his chest and agreed.While warmly entertaining El and his party for lunch, he also sent his own men to rush to other nearby manors to send his sincere and personal letters.

It is not difficult to understand that the name of Thomas the Golden Hand is so powerful. Traveling merchants in this era have always paid great attention to their reputation. If they promise to do something, even if it means going bankrupt, they must complete it. Only in this way can they win the favor of customers. Only by trusting can you spread your reputation.Thomas the Golden Hand is such a typical example-of course, his own wishes are another issue.

Of course, Mr. Thomas was very willing to help, because this is the main purpose of Laurana's life. After drinking the tea cooked and seasoned by the eldest lady, Mr. Thomas showed a very active willingness to cooperate.Everyone says that a businessman can be fearless in the face of absolute profits. If we say it the other way around, then a businessman is also a jealous, timid creature when he faces the risk of losing money and no profit.

It was originally a small matter, but by chance, it became a big deal. If the food trade is successful this time, the problem of food reserves for the Istaren exile team can be significantly alleviated, but at the same time there is a great possibility that it will Attracts aggro to Sword Castle.For issues that affect the overall situation like this, El had to report to Tiana and listen to her opinions at the same time.After all, she is the nominal leader of this team, and she must understand such a major event in time to be able to correct the next step for the team.

The magician girl stared at a pair of dark circles and got up from piles of documents, and stared at El expressionlessly for a while, until cold sweat broke out on Er's forehead before she said: "I stayed up late and worked overtime here. , you actually have time to take a group of people out for a tour of the mountains and rivers?"

"Ahaha, how can there be, look at me, I am also working hard...and Laurana has helped you share a lot of work recently, why are there so many problems?" Ergan changed the subject with a smile , asked with a shy face.

"Our current team has expanded to nearly 8000 people, which is equivalent to the population of a small city. It is not surprising that there are many problems." Tiana rubbed her eyes and sighed.

"How come there are so many people?" El was taken aback by this number. You must know that the team lost nearly [-]% when passing through the brown soil hills. new level.

"In the past few days, we have absorbed a lot of refugees. As long as they are survivors who can escape from the epidemic area, they will have some advantages. Most of the refugees in our team are women and children. This structure is actually very fragile, and absorbing more refugee families will help solve our internal organizational structure problems." Tiana said while biting her quill.

The exile team is accompanied by priests, and coupled with her leader who is experienced in fighting, this team is actually not very afraid of the plague infection. One of the problems that really limits the size of the team is that Tiana lacks experienced people. Middle managers, the other is food reserves.

"There are 3 people outside Sword Castle, and you plan to eat them too?" El sat down opposite Tiana and asked in a low voice.

"Of course I can't eat it!" Tiana rolled her eyes at El angrily, then her expression became more serious, and she asked in a low voice, "Do you think that Baron Farah is reliable?"

"This guy is so reliable that it makes me a little embarrassed." El pouted, and smiled helplessly: "I asked you to collect the money this time, don't tell me that we can't show this If the money comes, then we will really lose face."

"Money is not the problem, the problem is that you really intend to pay?" Tiana tilted her head, squinted her eyes and looked at El meaningfully. The two exchanged a look tacitly, and nodded in unison.

"Be careful, I always feel that something is wrong." After picking up a small suitcase from her feet and handing it to El, Tiana said with a worried face: "Maybe it's my illusion..."

"Hearing what you said, I seem to have the same feeling." Seeing that the girl didn't seem to be joking, El put away his smile and thought about it carefully, his brows were slightly frowned, although he couldn't say anything for a while. Problematic, but he's always trusted his wild instincts.

"I'll talk to Laurana later and hear her opinion." Tiana thought for a while and said, even she had to admit that Laurana only lacked in leadership compared to herself, but in terms of conspiracy and scheming. Domain definitely has master class talent.

That night, after the dead of night, the three young men sneaked into Tiana's tent, lit a candle and prepared to talk all night.Intuition is always something that can be trusted. If it is not clear, El and Tiana may not be able to sleep well tonight.

After the hot tea was served, Laurana held the teacup and looked at the two bosses, sighed and asked, "What is it that has to be so mysterious?"

"According to the information you sent back, I always feel that something is not quite right." Tiana huddled in her blanket, frowning and said: "Baron Farah didn't say the lady's name until the end, it should be There is a taboo against Jianbao. But before this, we have not received any news about that lady at all. If Jianbao deliberately hid it, why did she appear publicly now?"

"It would be a good thing if the Juggernaut appeared, right? Why hide it?" El shook his head. This kind of political issue is not his field of expertise.He is more concerned about another question: "I think it's the Baron Farah who is wrong. This guy is so cowardly, it makes people feel like he was punched in a cotton bag. It shouldn't be, he is not a bully A country bully of a domineering girl? Since he has the guts to send someone to spy on him, shouldn't he act like this?"

"That Mr. Baron... is indeed more reasonable than we imagined. You can see from the pigsty he built at home that Mr. Baron is indeed not very rich." Laurana rested her cheeks on her hands, narrowed her eyes and meditated: "In advance The prepared script is completely useless, which is really sad... But if you think about it, does this mean that there are some mistakes in the information we have so far?"

　Hmm, I have a few words that I would like to say to the readers. Due to the toothpaste itself and the FLAG being erected this year, there are currently less than 100 people who have fully booked it. .The reason why I say a few more words is because starting from this chapter, we will officially enter the next big plot.The sword castle dungeon is a transition, but it is also the beginning of the official plot. From here, toothpaste will gradually expand the world view and fill in the pits.How fucked up is this kind of author who only started to get to the point with 90 words?I agreed to find a girlfriend after finishing this book, but now that the new house is about to be renovated, whose fault is it that I haven't written 100 million words! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻
