Rise of the Plants

Since the Lord of Blackstone City is not in a hurry himself, Chi Nan simply isn't in a hurry either. After finishing the meal slowly like this, watching the city lord ramble on, Chi Nan stopped asking what was going on.

After finishing eating, Chi Nan said: "Thank you very much Lord Blackstone for your hospitality, but this time the king ordered me to rush to the imperial capital as soon as possible. I can't waste time. Take a rest, we will set off immediately."

Hearing what Chi Nan said, the Blackstone City Lord who was not in a hurry finally became anxious. "Oh, why are you in such a hurry? If you stay a few more days, let me treat you well, brother."

Chi Nan spread his hands: "I think so too, but this is the king's order. It's good to rush over now. It would be bad if it's too late." For these nobles who are not very powerful, the royal family's deterrence The force is still very strong. Since it was an order issued by the king himself, there was nothing the Lord of Blackstone could do.

Thinking of this, the Lord of Blackstone City gritted his teeth and said, "Earl Chinan, you said that since we are so close together, you should be able to sell more products to me, brother."

Chi Nan said strangely: "The products are all communicated through the business alliance, and they are the same wherever they are sold."

"But basically the price inside the business alliance is very low, but outside it it's very high."

Chi Nan said with a smile: "Then brother, you can also join, so that we are the same people. I never said that only the nobles of Remas can join this business alliance."

After hearing this, the Lord of Blackstone City was satisfied. Even the names have changed, indicating that their relationship has taken a further step.

Thinking of this, the Lord of Blackstone City quickly said: "But there are also some things that are difficult for the business alliance to buy, such as pea cannons, pneumatic cannons, and red sand steel. These things are not easy."

Chi Nan frowned: "Brother, these are some strategic materials. You don't have any war here. What do you need these things for?" You must be careful about this.

"Brother, this is a fortress. Is it weird to get some weapons? Okay, okay, let me tell you. This is not the trend of the Karimsi Kingdom next door to us during this period, and the recent deployment of troops Very often, in this war, brother, I want to participate, and weapons are very necessary."

Seeing that Chi Nan was still staring at him, the Lord of Blackstone City finally had no choice but to say: "Okay, to be honest, brother, I want to compete for the position of Governor of Karas Province. As long as I perform well this time, I will do some internal work , it is possible to get this position." The governor is not an actual noble title, but a position of real power.

It is very possible to get the position of governor and become a marquis within a few years as long as it works well. It seems that the ambition of this Blackstone City Lord is not small.

But, what does this have to do with him? If he gets good results with his weapons, wouldn't he be able to better promote his weapons? These are almost eliminated, but it’s not bad to turn into a golden dragon and make friends.

"Since you said so, brother, I won't be pretentious. However, the pea cannon and red sand steel are fine. Although the output of red sand steel is a little less, the pneumatic cannon is not good."

"I understand, the pneumatic cannon needs to go through the royal family, but most of the orders are obtained by some powerful nobles on the border. Brother, the orders from my side are relatively few. Can you please tell Her Royal Highness the Third Princess? Just tell me. As long as I can succeed, I will owe you a big favor from now on."

The favor of the nobles is still very valuable, and the reputation of this city lord is not bad. Chi Nan thought for a while and agreed. I just didn't expect that the reputation of Her Royal Highness the Third Princess would be so useful now.

Chi Nan didn't know either, because after he handed over the pneumatic cannon order to Sophila, Sophila's status among the nobles was getting higher and higher. After all, if you want the pneumatic cannon, you have to go through Sophira.

In name, the royal family occupies the sales list of pneumatic cannons, but everyone knows that Sophila has the final say.

"Thank you so much. If you have any questions in the future, just come to me. There is basically nothing in Karas Province that I can't do." The Lord of Blackstone City was completely relieved.

Chi Nan once again reminded: "There is another problem, and that is the special shells used by pneumatic cannons. Although this item does not need to be purchased through the royal family, large purchases must be reported."

"I understand. This is also for the safety of the kingdom. Just report it casually." The Lord of Blackstone City has fallen into his own ambition and cannot extricate himself. This time, he must become the governor of Karas.

Seeing that it was already getting late, Chi Nan stood up and said: "I will send a message to Her Royal Highness the Third Princess and my subordinates. Then, brother, just go and buy it. Also, it will be cheaper to buy after joining the business alliance. It’s easy too. It’s getting late, and we have to leave for the Imperial Capital as soon as possible.”

The Lord of Blackstone City stood up enthusiastically: "Haha, daddy wants to pass Karas, how can I not help? I will send 20,000 people to protect you all the way through Karas. But you have to be careful when you get to Kaos. .”

"What? Are the people in Kaos unfriendly?" Chi Nan hesitated.

"Of course not, but Kaos is close to the imperial capital after all, and it is also the former hometown of Karas, so the nobles there are older and more arrogant. The most despised are the new nobles. If they tell you then What, you'd better endure it, those guys have a lot of energy."

"I understand." Chi Nan said and left here. Sure enough, the Lord of Blackstone City really sent 20,000 soldiers to protect them in the middle, and then walked directly through the middle of the road.

But the route they took avoided the territories of the great nobles of Karas Province and those big cities. A few days later, Chi Nan realized something was wrong. "I see, I wonder why he is so cheerful."

Chi Nan understood that the reason why he sent someone to escort him was because he was worried about his contact with other nobles of Karas, especially the governor. With so many people surrounding him, it was impossible for anyone to get close, whether it was enemies or other nobles. But this is okay, at least walking all the way there is a rare peace. Let’s talk about other things after I come back.

In this way, under the protection of the army, it took them less than half a month to reach the edge of Karas easily.
