Roddy's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked carefully at the Baron Gadar in front of him again.
Of course, Luo Di, the big name of Ruijinfang, knew that he had been in the army for such a long time, and he didn't know the relationship between Ruijinfang and the military.
Although this famous merchant family of the empire is not prominent in the political field, its real influence is quite weighty, and almost half of the equipment and weapons of the local garrison of the empire are purchased from this family.
Their shops were found almost everywhere in the empire.
The Imperial decree was special that civilians were not allowed to carry weapons except for professional soldiers or those with the title of samurai.
But almost one-third of the weapons used by the warriors in the empire were purchased from Ruijinfang, and even when Luo Di was in the Imperial Academy, the only longsword was also bought from the shops in Ruijinfang in Yanjing The most important thing is that the imperial side buys a large number of weapons and equipment from Ruijinfang every year, and almost half of the local garrison is from Ruijinfang's weapons, even many of the Northern Legion and the Northwest Legion To be able to do business to this point, it is impossible without a little real power Luo Di frowned slightly: "Baron Gadar, I don't know what you have to do with me" Baron Gadar glanced at Nicole, bowed his body, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Roddy, we can sit down and talk slowly, Miss Nicole, you shouldn't mind letting Your Excellency Roddy leave for a while." ” The two talked as they walked, and randomly found a place with a barbecue grill and sat down.
Baron Gadar seemed to be quite urban, but he smiled casually, not in a hurry to speak.
Luo Di has long since lost the impatient appearance of the year after the war, Luo Di's biggest transformation at the moment is the word "stability".
He smiled steadily, casually handed over a leather bag filled with water, and watched Gadar drink two sips of water before he spoke again without hurrying: "Your Excellency Baron Gadar, do you have anything to do with me?"
Gadar smiled and said, "Your Excellency Luo Di is the youngest imperial hero in His Majesty's Commendation Order Unfortunately, I myself was very unfortunate to be in Yanjing at that time, and this time I came to Xiqiu just to deal with some family shops, so I took the liberty to come here today, just to visit you and express my admiration for you."
Roddy just smiled and didn't speak, quietly waiting for the other party to continue.
Gadar continued to laugh and said: "As you know, our family's business has always been closely related to the military of the Empire, and I myself like to make friends with some heroes and heroes of the military, and if you can't make friends with the new military stars of the Empire, otherwise it will be a great pity for me."
Luo Di smiled faintly: "Your Excellency, you are too polite, I am now just a small column commander of the Royal Guard, and I am only a viscount in terms of title."
I'm flattered by the favor of an imperial business family like Your Excellency."
Gadar shook his head and said loudly: "Your Excellency Roddy, a hero born out of the youth, has made a name for himself in the military at a young age, and his future prospects must be limitless, and I, Gadar, will not be wrong." ” Luo Di glanced at the other party and said in a low voice, "You're polite." ” Gadar smiled lightly, said that he carried a long and narrow thing wrapped in layers of brocade cloth and picked it up, and said with a smile: "The so-called sword gift to heroes, our family sells weapons, and there are no good things.
This blade is not bad, it is my honor to meet His Excellency Roddy today, and I ask you to accept this small gift."
Luo Di looked at the things handed over by the other party, did not reach out to take it, just shook his head and said, "Your Excellency Gadar, I don't understand this."
I'm just a little viscount, and it makes no sense that you came to see me so specifically and gave me a gift. ” Gadar didn't refute, but just peeled off the layers of brocade cloth, revealing what was inside.
It's a scimitar In terms of shape, it is exactly the same shape as the scimitar of the Thor's Whip Wolf Fang, but except for the shape, the others are very different I don't know what kind of leather the scabbard is made of, it looks extremely thick, and the leather also shows a prismatic horn, with a bit of rustic.
Gadar's eyes showed a little smugness, and he said lightly: "This scimitar is a gift from me, the scabbard is made of the skin of a peculiar fish that is a specialty of the southwest of the empire, this fish is huge, several meters long, infinitely powerful, and can even devour horses with its mouth It is extremely tough, and the sword is difficult to penetrate, just this scabbard is the best in a thousand."
With that, he slowly pulled out the scimitar, held it in his hand and waved it lightly twice.
His movements were light, but the scimitar in his hand made a faint "buzzing" sound.
The blade of the scimitar was as cold as a pool of autumn water, and the cold light was clear.
I don't know how to carve a strange line of vertical writing on the blade, crooked, with a bit of weirdness.
As it waved, it seemed to flash a strange light.
"This knife is made of a very special and rare cold iron ore, this cold iron ore is known as the best in iron, usually tens of thousands of tons of iron ore is rare to dig out a little bit of cold iron, of course, although these cold iron is rare in iron ore, but it is only a mortal thing, the weapon made, although it can cut gold and jade, cut iron like mud, but it is not a real god.
It's just that the spell on this is amazing."
Speaking of this, Gadar lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "With this line of spells on this, this scimitar is almost comparable to an ordinary artifact."
Hearing this, Luo Di couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Roddy's reaction was seen by Gadar, he seemed to be satisfied with Roddy's reaction, looked around, and then whispered: "Your Excellency Roddy, this line of writing on this scimitar is in dragon language" "Dragon Language" "Yes" Gadar said in a low voice: "The dragon language dragon is a powerful creature born with excellent magical power, and the dragon language on it is a line of magic spells, with the magic blessing of this dragon clan, this scimitar has truly become a magic weapon."
Luo Di took a deep breath, looked at Gadar vigilantly, and said in a low voice: "There doesn't seem to be such a thing as dragon magic in the Bright Continent."
Gadar smiled faintly, and there seemed to be a bit of pride in his smile: "Our family's business is all over the Bright Continent, and naturally there is some infiltration into the Northern Roland Continent.
This scimitar is also our family in the northern Roland continent inadvertently obtained, this scimitar has a history of many years, the legend is the work of a famous swordsmith in the Roland continent more than a hundred years ago, the swordsmith is also a great magician, I don't know how he learned the dragon language from the dragon clan, and carved this dragon magic spell on this scimitar, you look at this knife handle" With that, he opened his palm, revealing the hilt of the knife.
Roddy only glanced at it, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, how could this handle of the knife be so similar to the spotlight sword he had used in the beginning Of course, the hilt of this sword is still different from the hilt of the original Spotlight Sword, but it is only a difference in the material.
But it looks very similar The handle of the knife seems to be made of a transparent crystal, the whole body is transparent, and the end of the handle is inlaid with a red gem, but the gem is a little weird red, Roddy can see at a glance that in addition to the size, this gem is absolutely the same as the gem on the hilt of the spotlight sword he used at the beginning The lightsword Luo Di is naturally very familiar with the special nature of this gem, and Luo Di also knows it in his heart.
The beauty of the spotlight sword is all in this gem on the hilt, through which the fighting energy of the samurai can be transmitted to the blade, thus turning the originally fragile spotlight sword into a sharp weapon According to Danton's notes, this gemstone is purely a special "energy conversion" effect Looking at the strange look in Roddy's eyes, Gadar thought that the other party was moved by this scimitar, smiled slightly, and said: "Your Excellency Roddy, I just said that this scimitar is only worthy of a hero like you, please take it."
Luo Di didn't move, but there was a thoughtful expression on his face, and the concentrator was obviously a strange weapon made by Dandong.
But the gem on the handle of this scimitar is almost certain that this scimitar must have the same wonderful use as the spotlighter.
But how could Dandong's casting method appear in the Roland Continent Gadar saw that the other party refused to answer, and smiled again: "Your Excellency Roddy, do you still have any questions?"
Roddy took a breath and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency Gadar, this gift is too expensive for me to accept. ” Gadar shook his head and said, "I sincerely just want to make friends with an imperial hero like you, to be honest, this scimitar is nothing but a beautiful ornament in my hands, and it is of no use at all, I think it can only be used in the hands of a hero like you."
Roddy's heart moved, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "The real effect" Gadar shook his head with a wry smile and said in a low voice: "I'm not afraid of your shame when I say it."
Although this scimitar is legendary, but after I got it, I found that it didn't seem to be of much use, of course, it was indeed extremely sharp, and ordinary swords and it were immediately broken when I tried it.
But the legend says that this scimitar is much more powerful, and can even split mountains, of course, the Rolands have always been fond of touting their magic, and I think it's probably just some baseless legend.
So, don't think it's too expensive and refuse to accept it."
Luo Di hesitated for a moment and smiled, "Can I take a look?"

"Of course," Gadar immediately shoved the scimitar into Roddy's hand.
Luo Di held the knife in one hand, stretched out his other hand, and flicked his fingers lightly on the knife, and with a "buzz", the scimitar let out a low moan, the sound was low and continuous, and it was a little weird.
Luo Di raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't know how to use this knife."
Seeing that the other party had already held the knife in his hand, Gadar said with a smile: "Yes, it's not just me, even if this knife is in the Roland Continent, it has changed several masters in the past hundred years, each of which is an excellent knight, but this knife has never played a legendary power in the hands of those people."
It's just an ordinary sharp weapon, of course, but it's just a little more flashy. ” He smiled as if he was very relaxed, and said lightly: "This knife, after all, is made of cold iron, I just think it's a pity that it's in my hands, it's better to let it play its due role in the hands of an imperial hero like you."
You are in the army, in the battlefield fight, a sharp weapon, will bring you a lot of convenience. ” Roddy smiled lightly, but secretly calculated in his heart: this Baron Gadar was obviously here to curry favor with him, regardless of what he was.
Just because he gave himself a gift but gave him a knife instead of anything else, this is a very smart move.
Giving away gold coins and treasures is a low-level practice.
And according to his status as a soldier and samurai, he was given a sharp and valuable weapon, which is undoubtedly very smart, and this person understands the psychology of others very well Speaking of this knife, the other party also said, although it is not too valuable, although the legend says that it is very magical, but in fact it is just an ordinary sharp weapon, although the weapon of cold iron is very valuable, but it is not too rare thing, at least many wealthy nobles have this kind of cold iron weapon at home.
The value ranges from a few thousand gold coins to tens of thousands of gold coins.
Although it is precious in the eyes of ordinary people, it is nothing in the eyes of those really big people.
Although this knife has a bit of a legend of evil, it just adds a bit of mystery, and the only special thing is that I am afraid that the real use of this knife will not be known to the other party.
Luo Di couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, if the other party knew the true use of this knife, would he still give it away Naturally, Luo Di would not accept gifts from others for no reason, and he naturally knew that others always had any plans to give him things for no reason, but this scimitar did make him curious, especially the gem on the hilt, whether it was a weapon like a spotlighter When it comes to Dandong, Roddy has to pay attention.
Every person he touched, every thing, as long as it involved the legendary old man, which one was not strange and nothing else, Andy's old skeleton was alive there Aside from the illusory legends of this scimitar, a cold iron weapon is worth only tens of thousands of gold coins, which is not too valuable.
Let's see what the other party says next Thinking of this, Luo Di smiled lightly, slowly put the scimitar in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Gadar, you came to see me from so far and gave me such a gift, I am a person who doesn't like to go around in circles, please explain your intention."
Gadar saw that the other party did not refuse his gift, but just put the scimitar in front of him, and his heart was a little bottom.
He smiled slowly, with two moustaches under his nose, this smile seemed a little sly.
The expression on his face was unhurried, and Gadar said slowly: "Your Excellency Roddy, you are still serving as an officer in the Royal Guard According to your strength, it seems a bit condescending to be just an officer, may I ask you, are you interested in changing places?"
Roddy smiled, his gaze resting on Gadar's face.
Gadar looked to the side and said in a low voice: "For example, the Military Affairs Agency" Military Administration Roddy smiled secretly in his heart, it seemed that the other party was sent by the old fellow of the Marquis of Caroline to win him over.
Thinking of this, Luo Di couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart, after the reward ceremony that day, Luo Di gradually heard some rumors, and also understood the intention and consequences of the old skeleton's words, and it was really difficult for the bastard to come up with such an outrageous idea Now the old fox Caroline really thought he was the old skeleton's bullshit bastard, and he actually ran to woo himself.
It seems that he also knows that it is impossible for the Lionheart family to compete with the Tulip family at present.
The emperor now clearly favors the Tulip family, so the old marquis has to work hard from his own illegitimate son, maybe the illegitimate son will be the future emperor in the future, after all, the emperor has no son now, and the position of the crown prince is still empty.
It's a mess Roddy shook his head and smiled weirdly.
Gadar looked at Roddy quietly, although he didn't understand what the weird smile on the other party's face meant, but fortunately, the other party didn't say anything and immediately rejected him.
After waiting for a while, Gadar slowly said, "Your Excellency Roddy, what do you mean?"
Luo Di thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Baron Gadar, you came to me on the commission of the Marquis of Caroline, it's just that the Marquis of Caroling, as the Imperial Minister, has a very lofty status, how can he look at a small person like me, I really don't dare to accept your gift." ” How smart Gadar was, he immediately smiled and said: "Your Excellency Rodi, Lord Marquis really appreciates you very much, but hehe, for some special reasons, he is not good to express it directly to you, and I am just entrusted by him to meet you."
Roddy nodded.
That's right.
With the cleverness of the Marquis Caroline, since he recognized himself as the illegitimate son of the emperor, it was absolutely impossible for him to dare to contact him directly.
After all, he was also afraid of the emperor's suspicion.
It's just that he's not a fucking bastard at all Thinking of this, Luo Di couldn't cry or laugh a little, but this kind of thing was not easy to say clearly, shook his head, and said: "I understand your kindness, but I am very happy in the Royal Guard now, and I dare not accept the good intentions of the Minister of War."
But I'm grateful for his appreciation, so please take my words back with you. ” Roddy knew very well in his heart what the Marquis of Caroline was paying attention to If you want to draw yourself into his front, although now that he is the illegitimate son of the emperor in everyone's hearts, then he is a bargaining chip with great potential in the future.
Only by holding this chip in your hand before it really appreciates can you really benefit Marquis Caroline, as the Minister of War, if he finds a way to transfer himself to the Military Affairs Bureau, he naturally has a way, and in fact, he does not need to come forward in person, as long as he secretly asks a subordinate of his cronies to handle it.
Although he is only the Minister of War, this kind of transfer of personnel within the army is not under his management, but he has been in the military for so many years, and there is nothing else to say about this point, and now Miró is already in the military headquarters.
Besides, he decided that he was the illegitimate son of the emperor, and he must have thought that if he transferred himself to the position of a high-ranking official in the Military Affairs Bureau, this kind of thing of appreciating the emperor's son, His Majesty the Emperor would definitely be happy to agree to it, it was messy, it was too messy, and Gadar didn't seem surprised when he heard Roddy's refusal, in fact, Roddy's thinking was still simple.
Before coming, the Marquis of Carolinge had already explained to him, and this time, it would not matter if the other party rejected his offer.
After all, people are "the illegitimate son of the emperor", and most of the other party does not want the position of a high-ranking official, the important thing is to make a gesture of wooing, leave a good impression on the other party, and establish a preliminary harmonious relationship to achieve the goal As for that scimitar, a big imperial family, do you still care about a knife?
Gifts do not have to be expensive, in fact, in this kind of status, it is impossible to really impress people with any expensive gifts Presumably, a young samurai would not refuse a beautiful, sharp weapon.
Gadar smiled and said, "Since Your Excellency is unwilling, it doesn't matter, it's just that Lord Marquis sincerely invites you, and when you return to Yanjing, you must go to the Marquis's Mansion to get together."
He looked at Roddy and seemed to have the intention of handing over the knife, and quickly said, "It's just that this scimitar must be accepted."
Roddy smiled, didn't say much, and put the scimitar down.
In fact, he didn't mean to return the scimitar to the other party, this scimitar is a bit weird, but he will have to study it later, maybe after returning to Yanjing, he will have to talk to Andy about the secrets carefully.
At least the Marquis of Caroline was not mistaken.
A person like Luo Di, he doesn't look at anything that is valuable.

But a magical weapon can touch his heart.
The two chatted casually for a few more words, and Roddy behaved tepidly, looking pampered and not shocked, and that composure was completely the natural temperament that had been honed on the battlefield before, but in Gadar's eyes, it was different: he affirmed the gaze of the Marquis Caroline more and more.
People with this kind of calm and calm temperament are definitely not ordinary people The two of them were sitting on the edge of the makeshift camp, and as they were talking, they suddenly heard a sharp exclamation from the lake.
The exclamation was full of fear and surprise, clearly from a woman's voice "Ahh To be continued:
