Lord of the Scourge: Become the Demon Archduke In the Beginning

Chapter 137 Being Targeted as a Hunting Target, Threat to the Lion Family (2 Chapters 15,200 words)

I have to say that the sudden change of the orc made Lauren feel very troublesome.

The opponent is neither friend nor foe, and under the butterfly effect, the already unsettled endless wasteland will become more complicated and confusing.

"Weeds must keep a close eye on this matter. Once the orcs have any new news, report it immediately."

"Yes, Lord Laurent."

Arnold's response was full of air.

After Lauren arrived, most of the worries in his heart dissipated immediately.

It seemed that as long as Lauren was around, all problems could be solved.

After taking this matter to heart, Lauren glanced at the long table full of people, and waved his hands.

"You guys go down first, I have something important to discuss with Anol."

"Yes, my lord..."

The dozen or so staff members around did not dare to delay, they immediately got up and saluted, and then left the hall.

After the room was emptied, Lauren opened his mouth.

"When I came in, I saw many strangers appearing in the Bauhinia Business Alliance. Are these people subordinates of Weeds, or employees of the Business Alliance?"

"My lord, most of the slaves I bought from the slave market, I need to buy a lot of food and blue heart wine during this period, so I need personnel assistance..."

Anol responded in a deep voice.

"Although the number of Weeds has also doubled, and currently exceeds 50, they are all outside to spy on information."

Lauren nodded, "How much grain and blue heart wine has the Bauhinia Merchant Alliance purchased so far?"

The distillery is about ten days away from being built.

The spirits production program is about to start.

This is the flagship product of Huiyue City, and there is absolutely nothing to lose.

Arnold said in a low voice.

"My lord, according to your instructions, we purchased 50 tons of grain and 500,000 bottles of blue heart wine in batches, and did not cause too much fluctuation in the market..."

As the military and trade center of the northern border, Decker City handles a huge amount of goods every day, and the chamber of commerce throughout the northern border has branches here.

Therefore, hundreds of thousands of bottles of blue heart wine may seem like a lot, but for a huge city of this size, it cannot afford to cause too much trouble.

After Anol's voice fell, he hesitated for a moment, and spoke again.

"Master Luo Lun, if we buy the blue heart fruit to make wine ourselves, the cost can be lower..."

Lauren shook his head, "Although this operation can save costs, it doesn't mean much to the tens of times the huge profits we earn.

Brewing your own wine not only takes time, but also adds a lot of variables. "

If we really want to produce, we have to wait until the city of Huiyue is on the right track.

Now that the whole city is under busy construction, where can he find so many people to make wine?

Purification is countless times simpler than wine making. You only need to cast suitable utensils and master the boiling points of water and alcohol, and you can easily solve it.

Arnold was silent when he thought that the bad wine that cost tens of pokes could be sold for hundreds of pokes after purification.

In the comparison of such huge profits, that little cost is completely negligible.

"Is there any news from the Bucks family during this time?"

In Roland's mind, the Bucks family is the best cooperation partner for the next stage.

Moreover, last time he took materials worth hundreds of millions from the other party, without those materials, this bloody day might not be so easy this time.

Arnold said everything the Bucks had done during this period, and finally said.

"When the news of the founding of the orcs was not known to the public, Master Enli came to the door in person to inform us of the news and let us prepare in advance."

"In addition, they are also asking when our two spirits will be available. I deal with it on the grounds that you have not returned..."

Lauren nodded, it was very interesting that the other party could do this.

Presumably it was that noble girl's order again.

The graceful and luxurious Elvis left a very deep impression on him.

"Go down immediately and make preparations to transport all the blue heart wine and food back to Huiyue City.

I'm going to the Bucks Manor..."

500,000 bottles of blue heart wine and 50 tons of grain, this is not a small sum.

The Bauhinia Merchant Alliance does not have large monsters such as Dixinglong that can carry tons of cargo. Currently, they can only rely on horses for transportation.

Fortunately, this is a fantasy world, and most of the beings have very strong physical fitness, otherwise, transporting these supplies would be enough to cause headaches.

After a brief discussion, Lauren took the carriage to the Bucks family, while Arnold went to the slave market to buy a group of coachmen and horses for loading goods.

This may be the benefit of building power, as long as the task is assigned, someone will complete it.

after an hour.

Bucks Manor.

Every time he saw this heavily guarded castle, Lauren was quite emotional.

The background of a great nobleman who has been passed down for hundreds of years is really enviable.

After passing the pass, Lauren got out of the carriage, stepped through the towering city gate, and entered the Bucks Manor.

Although he has been here once, the luxurious and elegant layout of the Bucks Manor still makes him feel relaxed and happy.

After wandering around the huge manor for about ten minutes, the servant brought him to a delicate house with angel reliefs carved on the walls.

At this time, the graceful and luxurious Elvis was standing with a smile, obviously waiting for Lauren.

Today, the eldest daughter of the stag family is wearing a purple embroidered fringed dress, a black wide-brimmed hat on her head, and black lace gloves that reach her wrists on her light white arms.

This dress is reminiscent of the royal family and nobles in Western Europe in the 14th century, elegant and luxurious.

Ordinary people might feel exaggerated wearing this outfit, but the girl in front of them alone makes people feel that it should be so.

"Good day, Lord Laurent."

Elivis put her right hand slightly on her chest, lowered her head slightly, and gracefully performed a greeting ceremony between nobles.

Lauren made the same salute, then smiled politely.

"Good day, Miss Elvis, the way you are dressed today makes the sun dim..."

Elvis smiled slightly, "It's my honor to be praised by Your Excellency Lauren, and your handsomeness is also unforgettable..."

The two exchanged aristocratic politeness and boasted to each other for a few minutes...

Lauren always had a faint smile on his face, showing no sign of impatience.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two entered the room surrounded by servants.

On the long maroon table placed in the center of the hall, Lauren and Elvis sat on the left and right.

The servants brought black tea and various snacks.

Everything is pleasing to the eye.

When the servants stood at the back door and couldn't hear the conversation between the two, Lauren gracefully picked up the black tea in front of him, took a sip, and then smiled lightly.

"Miss Elvis, thank you for the news, the founding of the orcs has had a great impact on my territory..."

Elise's beautiful lavender eyes looked at Lauren with a smile.

"This is a testimony of our friendship, Lord Laurent."

After finishing speaking, he said with great meaning.

"I don't know, is there anything your Lord Laurent needs help from the Bucks family recently?

If you ask, the Buck Legion of the Buck Family can assist you in defending your territory..."

Lauren narrowed his eyes, a little confused about the other party's intentions.

The Bucks are the ace army of the Bucks family.

All the members rode a huge stag. Once they charged, the sharp antlers were more lethal than spears.

This legion of gold-rank fighters is not limited to Decker City, and is quite famous throughout the northern border.

"Thanks to Miss Elivis's love, the current strength of Glorious Moon City is enough to meet the challenge."

Elvis smiled slightly, as if she had expected Lauren's response in this way.

"If there is a need in the future, please don't be shy to speak up. The Bucks have always done their best to treat their friends."

But he didn't get entangled in this matter, and directly changed the subject.

"Your Excellency Lauren, I have received definite news that the existence in the capital has made up his mind to abdicate in the middle of next month and let the new king wear the crown..."

Lauren's eyelids twitched.

The news of the founding of the orcs hadn't slowed him down yet, and now there was another big news.

The last time Elivis told him, it seemed that the old king would abdicate until the end of the year, or even next year.

But I didn't expect such a big change in the situation after only one month.

Every time the king changes, it will bring unpredictable changes. This is undoubtedly bad news for the city of Huiyue, which urgently needs time to develop.

Huiyue City is eager for war, but this kind of war cannot affect the situation. Now, the situation has clearly exceeded his expectations.

But it's not over yet, as Elise continues to drop bombshells.

"And the new king has already decided to send the Bauhinia family to the northern border to build a city, guarding the gap between the Misty Mountains and the Silver Moon Kingdom.

Although the Xiongshi family did not object to this on the surface, they had secretly dispatched powerful forces to attack the Bauhinia family. "

"No one knows how many back-ups that huge family representing the interests of most of the nobles in the northern region has prepared.

Coincidentally, I got a piece of news about you, Lord Laurent..."

Lauren frowned.

"Miss Elvis, please speak frankly."

The girl was straightforward.

"The Lion family has already planned to send troops to capture Lord Laurent's territory after the important members of the Bauhinia family arrive in the north.

To anger the Bauhinia family..."

Angry the Bauhinia family?

Lauren narrowed his eyes slightly, and the layout of the Lion family seemed not simple.

As a descendant of the Bauhinia family, while enjoying the benefits brought by the power of the Bauhinia family, it is also necessary to deal with the negative effects of being a descendant of the Bauhinia family.

Even though Lauren knew that he was not valued by the Redbud family, the Redbud family hadn't paid much attention to him for so long.

But in the eyes of outsiders, his direct bloodline is a status symbol, representing part of the glory of the Bauhinia family.

Whether he likes it or not, he has to bear the risk of being hostile by the enemies of the Bauhinia family.

After pondering for a moment, Lauren nodded slowly.

"Miss Elvis, thank you for the news. May I know who the Lion family plans to send to attack my territory? How many troops?"

Elise's eyes were a little subtle.

"When the lion family chooses an heir, it is not designated, but all descendants compete together.

The Xiongshi family has announced the breach of your territory in the form of a family assessment, perhaps, you have to face the descendants of the entire Xiongshi family..."

The corner of Lauren's mouth twitched.

Treat me as a mission target? Really gave you a face, didn't you?

Is Huiyue City just like a soft persimmon?

In the eyes of outsiders, a territory that has only been established for a few months naturally does not pose much threat.

Moreover, the news of the Xiongshi family is so well-informed, it is no secret that Lauren is not valued by the Bauhinia family.

One without the support of family strength, and came from thousands of miles away.

Coupled with his special status, he is at this critical time point.

The Lions couldn't have found a better target.

The coldness in Lauren's eyes flashed past.

Dare to take the city of Huiyue as a hunting target, I hope you will not be afraid of death when the time comes...

In my heart, I immediately made changes to the plan that I planned to develop steadily for a few months.

City of Huiyue not only cannot slow down, but also has to go faster!

Being strong is the best way to deal with dangers and challenges.

Elvis didn't get too entangled in this matter after reminding her. She had an inexplicable intuition in her heart that this boy would never be tripped by these obstacles.

She believed in her own eyesight, her intuition, and even more that she believed in this genius who could rise from a silver junior to a gold rank in just over a month.

This is someone she values.

Turning her mind, Elvis asked as if she had thought of something.

"Your Excellency Lauren, when will you see the finished products of the two spirits you promised to trade with us?"

"The Stag family has been waiting for your spirits, and our deal with the dwarves has been postponed..."

Lauren smiled.

What does it have to do with me that your transaction is delayed? Didn't the orcs send an army to block the way to the Misty Mountains?

But he didn't expose the other party, he said softly.

"The distillery has ten days to go into the third stage of brewing.

It is expected that around the 20th of this month, the first batch of spirits, Return of the King, will be shipped back to Decker City. "

Elise's eyes lit up.

"How many can there be?"

Lauren showed a bit of embarrassment.

"Miss Elvis, you should know how difficult it is to brew spirits like Return of the King.

Not only will it consume a huge amount of materials, but it will also take a long time.

Although we have made a lot of preparations... But the return of the king can produce up to 5000 bottles. "

It takes 18 bottles of blue heart wine to produce a bottle of Return of the King, and the cost is 180 poke.

The selling price is 2,500 pokes, and the profit is more than 15 times.

5,000 bottles require 90,000 bottles of blue heart wine, cost 900,000 poukes, and the selling price exceeds 12 million...

This profit is enough to make people crazy.

He won't reveal the real situation.

These words are to let Elivis know that the brewing of Return of the King is difficult and costly.

In this way, when the other party pays a high price to buy, they will not feel wrong, but it should be taken for granted.

Hearing this, Elvis nodded knowingly.

Not only was he not dissatisfied, but comforted.

"The quantity of this batch is already quite a lot. With the quality of Return of the King, it is very rare that it can be successfully brewed in more than a month."

In her impression, which high-end wine does not consume a lot of time and resources to successfully brew.

Girls never imagined that Lauren had studied noble chemistry in junior high school...

Lauren nodded appreciatively, and changed the topic.

"However, including the royal wine and our previous inventory, we can provide 50,000 bottles, which will be shipped together later this month."

Elvis had a look of surprise on her face.

Although the wine used by the royal family is not as strong as the return of the king, it is still a rare top-grade wine.

The spirits they trade with the dwarves on weekdays may not be of this level.

"It's okay, as long as you bring it in, the Bucks can eat it all."

Good wine has no worries about selling in the main plane of Nuoer.

The more you buy, the more you earn.

Lauren smiled.

It takes 6 bottles of blue heart wine of 10 pokes to produce a bottle of royal wine, the cost is 60 pokes, and the price is 350 pokes.

Nearly 6 times the profit.

The production cost of 50,000 bottles is 3 million, and it can be sold for more than 17 million.

Although the profit is not as exaggerated as Return of the King, it is definitely heart-shattering.

He didn't sell The Return of the King much because he wanted to widen the gap between the two, and let Elivis realize the preciousness of Return of the King.

Now that the b-frame of the return of the king has been established, it will be easier to make money in the later stage...

In this seller's market, as long as the alcohol purification technology is not discovered by outsiders, he has the absolute initiative.

The two discussed for a long time the deal at the end of the month.

In the end, Lauren seemed to have thought of something and asked.

"Miss Elvis, do the Bucks have high-grade siege crossbow blueprints for sale?"

The siege crossbow is definitely a great weapon for defending the city.

However, with the current technical level of Huiyue City, there is no way to make a high-level siege crossbow without blueprints.

The weapons department has tried to forge siege crossbows.

But the effect is not good, the accuracy is poor, the power is poor, and the quality is also poor. It is simply a three-waste product.

Luo Lun has seen with his own eyes the scene where the siege crossbow of the weapons department fell apart after firing an arrow.

From that time on, he lost interest in letting the Weapons Department develop its own siege crossbow.

Most of the craftsmen in the weapons department are slaves he bought, and good weapon blacksmiths are basically impossible to buy.

No one is a fool, there are high-level craftsmen, and the nobles behind those slave owners directly intercept them.

Fortunately, a weapon designer was found among the refugees, so that the weapons department would not be so ugly.

But the weapon designer was good at designing armor, but he didn't know anything about bows and crossbows.

Elvis looked at Lauren with interest.

"Your Excellency Lauren, didn't you come out with a few high-level blueprints from the treasure house of the Bauhinia family?"

The return of the king brought these two wines from the treasure house of the Bauhinia family that Lauren claimed to have brought, so the girl asked this question.

Lauren smiled.

"You don't do anything more, your vision is narrow, and you haven't considered that much."

Elvis couldn't help smiling as she looked at Lauren who was calm and self-deprecating.

Can you bring out the formula for the return of the king, but you are still narrow-minded? How many siege crossbow drawings can't be replaced?

"The blueprint for the siege crossbow is very precious, and the Bucks are also in urgent need, but since His Excellency Lauren asked, we can reluctantly sell you a D-level siege crossbow construction blueprint.

But I don't need Puke, you just need to exchange 5,000 bottles of royal wine with us. "

Elvis blinked, smiling gracefully.

There are actually seven or eight similar blueprints in the warehouse... They are all accumulated by the Bucks family, and they are no longer needed, and they are left to eat ashes.

There is nothing to lose by copying a copy to Lauren.

Lauren didn't care how true what the other party said, since it could be sold to him, it was a good thing.

The blueprint of the siege crossbow is a strategic item, who would buy it for ordinary adventurers?

So they are all monopolized by the big nobles.

It is basically impossible to buy in the market, or it is not a good product to buy, and it will cost several times or even ten times the price of the drawing, which is not worthwhile at all.

"Thank you Miss Elvis for your generosity."

Lauren nodded and agreed to the exchange conditions.

5,000 bottles of royal wine, each bottle consumes 3 bottles of blue heart wine, that is, a bottle of 10 pokes, which adds up to 15 pokes.

150,000 Puke can buy blueprints for making siege crossbows that cannot be bought by millions in the market, which is not a loss.

Of course, Elvis can use a useless blueprint in exchange for 350 poke per bottle, worth nearly two million fine wines.

Moreover, it can also shorten the relationship with Lauren, and she also feels that this business has made a lot of money.

The two looked at each other and smiled, everything in silence.
