Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight

Chapter 27: Regarding cake painting, I, Thor, am a professional

On the west side of Loren City, in a large house, Lajos Assad was walking back and forth, his face full of worry.

As a descendant of the Assad family, since he was only an illegitimate son, he was not valued by the family. Even the contemporary head of the Assad family, his father, did not like him, a son who was unexpectedly born from the womb of a maid.

 The same is true even if Lajos Assad became an apprentice knight before the age of eighteen.

 He did not get the opportunity to be loyal to the family.

Like his brothers and sisters, he also failed to become the steward of Assad's caravans everywhere.

Just a small shop in Loren City.

 Oh my God, that’s Loren City.

Not to mention, it was in the newly developed and run-down Northland province.

 Even that shop is small and pitiful.

 To be honest, he was extremely unwilling.

 But what if he doesn’t want to? He doesn’t have the courage to become a pioneer knight.

Then you can only follow the family's orders, go to Loren City, and get that small shop.

 However, when he accepted the reality.

 After arriving in Loren City.

However, he found that the situation was more difficult than he imagined.

 Because the entire business in Loren City has been almost monopolized by the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce.

 It is almost difficult for him to sell supplies.

 After half a year, the gold coins he brought were almost all used up, but the revenue from the shop was still only a few dozen silver coins.

 With such treatment, it will be a big problem for us to survive, let alone operate well.

So, three months ago, when he discovered that no special materials seemed to be sold in the entire Northland Province, he had a bold idea, that is, to smuggle some special materials to the Northland Province for sale.

 Especially some military supplies.

 Think about it, given the level of crisis in the northern province, those things should be easy to sell.

It just so happens that the Assad family happens to be a family engaged in business, and even if he is not taken seriously, he is the son of the head of the Assad family after all, so it is not too difficult to get something.

 Have an idea.

 It is undoubtedly action.

 His first goal is to make fierce fire oil.

 Compared with other military supplies, the price of Menghuo Oil is not high, and its practicality is also greater.

 Can be used in various environments.

In his opinion, the price of ten pounds of fire oil he obtained from his family was only about ten silver coins. He could sell it for fifty or even one hundred silver coins in the Northland Province, at least Ten times the price.

More importantly, the special characteristics of the fierce fire oil can be mixed with ordinary water, and it can be extracted after arriving in Loren City, which is enough to hide it from the border patrol checkpoints.

 In fact, this is indeed the case.

 Seven days ago, he delivered the first batch of fierce fire oil.

 And three days ago, he had already extracted the fierce fire oil.

 It’s just that things went wrong at this moment.

 That’s the right buyer.

 That’s right, it’s the right buyer.

 He believes that there is no shortage of fierce fire oil.

 But that's just what he thinks.

 In fact, buyers are not easy to find.

Especially to find a trustworthy counterparty, which is even more difficult.

 Smuggled materials, and such important materials, once leaked, the situation is no joke.

It would be okay if he was a noble, but unfortunately he is not, then he will definitely go to the gallows, and his father will most likely not protect him.

At this moment, he regretted it a little.

 I regret that I was a little too impulsive.

 The figure is constantly walking.

 The worry on his face still hasn’t faded.

It was not until a moment later that Lajos Assad looked at the knight attendant next to him.

Those were his only few most loyal knights. “Ram, is that man really trustworthy?”

 The words were spoken with a sense of worry.

 “Sir, that man is trustworthy!”

"Furthermore, that person does not hold the title of noble, and is just a baron behind him. Even if it is leaked, we don't have to admit it. No one can prove that those things are sold by us, and no one can prove that those things are sold by us. It’s fire oil, isn’t it?”

 Lahm spoke respectfully.

"Right!"

 Listening to Ram's words and thinking about his series of preparations for this, he couldn't help but relax slightly.

Just as he was relaxing.

 A manservant ran over quickly.

 “Master, Knight Tordressrosa requests a meeting with you!”

The manservant spoke respectfully and then handed over a copy of the post.

 “Toldresrosa?”

 “From the Dressrosa family?”

Lajos Assad was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little confused.

 He ​​naturally also knows the situation of his family. The Dressrosa family and their family are indeed not too friendly.

At this moment, a member of the Dressrosa family suddenly appeared to visit, which made him a little confused for a moment.

 “Let him in!”

"get ready!"

Lajos Assad frowned for a moment, but finally nodded.

 The aristocratic courtesy made it impossible for him to refuse.

Similarly, he was also a little curious as to what the other party wanted to do with him.

Soon, Thor and Ren were welcomed into the room by the male servants.

“Dear Sir Lajos Assad, I’m sorry for interrupting you. This is a small gift, please don’t mind.”

Thor said with a smile, and then motioned to Ren to present a wooden box.

The manservant took it and then handed the wooden box to Lajos Assad.

 “Knight Tordressrosa, you’re welcome!”

Lajos Assad smiled and opened the wooden box at will, intending to close it again as usual.

 Just when he saw the wooden box, he couldn't help but paused.

 The pupils suddenly widened.

"bump!"

The wooden box was smashed down, and his figure suddenly stood up, looking at Thor with a gloomy expression.

"you!"

 Speaking subconsciously, Lajos Assad didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Your Excellency, Lajos, don't be nervous. I came here this time to discuss business with Lajos Assad, and I have no other intention."

Thor's gentle voice sounded, with a still calm smile on his face.

 Looking at Thor's smile.

Lajos Assad took a deep breath, suppressed the panic and nervousness in his heart, and waved his hand to ask the people around him to retreat.

 It wasn’t until everyone left the room that he looked at Thor.

 “Business, Lord Tordressrosa, this is not the way to talk about business.”

He spoke in a low voice and with a cold tone, and his eyes had a fierce light. .

"no no!"

 “Your Excellency Lajos, you have misunderstood!”

“I said I’m here to discuss business, so naturally this is business.”

 “Such as I could buy for five hundred pounds.”
