After the end of winter, the nobles who fled the border town were always thinking about the land that had been taken away.A few nobles tried to go back to Owen to claim their lands, but as you can imagine, they were all ruthlessly driven away, saying that they had voluntarily given up their lands.Confirming that the lord was playing for real, these nobles had no place to vent their grievances, so they could only gather together every day to curse Owen for fun.Unwilling to be taken away like this, they also collectively complained to Duke Eddie in the Dongsheng Fortress, hoping that the Duke could support him and put pressure on the frontier garrison.However, Duke Eddie won't have time to deal with Frontier Town.He planned to send troops to fight for the throne on the royal capital's side in order to pursue his own interests.Duke Eddie's attention turned to the royal capital, and it was a good time for the border town to secretly develop.Of course, it is not so easy to develop the territory.No, Clive came over again to complain to Owen about the recent financial situation of Frontier Town."
Lord Marquis, you have already spent a lot of money to fight against the undead monsters, and now that you have set up so many construction projects, our finances have long been unable to cover our expenses.If this continues, the treasury will be depleted in a few months!
”If you want to develop, you have to invest a lot of money in the early stage, and the border town is already consuming the treasury accumulated by the Eisen family before, which will be empty sooner or later.To this end, Owen must find a way to sell what he produces in the form of commodities, and then continue to invest the money he earns in the development territory, forming a virtuous circle.It is unrealistic to want to rely on internal friction, after all, there are so many people in Frontier Town, and the demand is naturally not enough."
Got it."
Owen rubbed his forehead, "I'm waiting for the people from the Twins, I wonder when they'll arrive?"
”"The Twins Chamber of Commerce?!"
As soon as this chamber of commerce was mentioned, Clive immediately came to his senses and asked, "Lord Marquis, are you planning to sell them the goods that Frontier Town has recently produced?"
”"Yes, that's right."
Owen nodded.The Twin Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce that Frontier Town can contact, and it is strong.The president of the chamber of commerce is very honest and is a good business object.This chamber of commerce is not a large chamber of commerce native to the Dawnlight Kingdom, but belongs to the Xiayue Federation.The Gorge Moon Federation, located on the sea east of the Dawnlight Kingdom, consists of a number of islands.These islands are controlled by a group of large and small chambers of commerce, which usually manage their own affairs, and will unite with the outside world when encountering some major events.Therefore, it can be considered as a large chamber of commerce organization.The island controlled by the Twin Chamber of Commerce is called Twin Islands, which are two islands close to each other, located in the northernmost part of the Gorge Moon Federation, so they have frequent trade with the Laifeng Port in the eastern border of the Dawnlight Kingdom.Before the winter of last year, Owen had asked them to go somewhere and buy something that wasn't available here.It stands to reason that it's almost time for them to come over and deliver the task.At this moment, the guards knocked on the door and came in to report: "Lord Marquis, the president of the Twin Chamber of Commerce and two of his subordinates are asking to see you. ”"It came at the right time!"
Owen stood up happily, "Take them to the reception room, and let the kitchen prepare some desserts." ”After the guards retreated, he looked at Clive again and ordered, "Clive, please prepare the displays." ”"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Needless to say, Clive also knew what to prepare, and hurriedly left the room.In the reception room, Owen meets Heynt Marcha, the president of the Twin Chamber of Commerce, a female businesswoman.You must know that it is not easy to be a layman, it is easy to encounter robbers when you go around, and you may also be hindered by local snakes when you carry out business activities, so businesswomen are rare.Not to mention, the other party is still a fairly successful businesswoman.Heynt had thick brown curly hair, looked to be in his forties, wrinkled at the corners of his eyes, and had rough skin, probably because he was constantly on the go.Seeing Owen, Heint immediately got up and left his seat, smiling, "See you again, Lord Marquis." ”"President Marsha, I've been waiting for you to come."
Owen walked over with a smile and made a gesture of please: "Let's sit down and talk." ”As soon as the two sides sat down, Owen couldn't wait to ask: "I asked you for something before, I don't know if you have gained anything over there?"
”"To be honest, this is the first time I've been commissioned like this.Luckily, we got what you wanted from the adventurer in the Starflame Kingdom. ”After saying that, Heynt turned around and gestured with his eyes to his subordinates standing behind on the left.The subordinate hurriedly stepped forward and carefully placed the clay pot in his hand on the table.Heint stretched out his palm to the clay pot and said, "This is the monster unique to the Great Forest of Lola, the Strong Acid Slime. ”The slime is a low-level monster in this world.The most common is slime slimes, which can be found all over the world.In some places, a unique type of slime will form, such as this strong acid slime, which is only found in the Great Forest of Lola in the northeast of the Starflame Kingdom."
Oh!
Is this a strong acid slime?
”Owen couldn't wait to open it and take a look.As soon as his hand was halfway out, Heynt hurriedly stopped him."
Wait, Lord Marquis, don't just open the lid now.""
Why not?"
Owen asked."
You can put your hand on the outer wall of the clay pot and feel it."
Following Heinter's instructions, Owen pressed his hand to the outer wall of the pot, and could clearly feel the pot trembling slightly, as if there was a mass of liquid stirring inside."
What is this?"
Owen frowned slightly."
According to the precautions told by the seller, the strong acid slime is very unstable now.If the lid is opened rashly, it may spray strong acid outward.If we accidentally hurt the Marquis, it would be our fault. ”"I see."
Owen withdrew his hand and asked, "Why is this happening?"
What should I do after that?
”"It may have been a bump in the road when it came over, which annoyed it.Rest in a dark place for a while and it will calm down. ”Heint replied."
Looks like you've got a good understanding from the seller.In order to avoid danger, I wonder if I can ask you to write down all the precautions?
”"No problem."
Heint turned to look at the other man.The latter took a roll of parchment from his bosom and handed it to her, which she then handed to Owen."
I expected you to have such a request, and this is a note I have written down in advance."
Taking the parchment roll, Owen immediately opened it to check it, and it detailed the various precautions and treatment methods of the strong acid slime.To this, he nodded with considerable satisfaction."
It's not because of President Marsha, it's so well prepared."
Hearing this, Heint smiled again and said politely, "The purpose of our Twin Chamber of Commerce is to satisfy all our guests. ”No wonder Heint was able to become such a successful president of the Chamber of Commerce, Owen finally got a little bit of an idea.
