Wolf King

The most obvious behavioral characteristic of short-sighted people is that they are particularly superstitious about once and for all, and they can't wait to lay down and eat for a few years after making a big deal.

It is disgusting to cooperate with this kind of person. This kind of person remembers clearly what he has paid for. It is impossible for him to sleep for a lifetime with a record of credit. Anyway, it's too contradictory, and it's extremely difficult to serve.

So this kind of person often gives people "no service"...

Viscount Conrad is such a standard pig teammate. He went to sea for three months in the first half of the year. He really made a lot of money. At the same time, he also felt that he had paid enough. As a nobleman, he actually boasted on the boat. After two months of sea breeze, the suffering was so great that he could lie down, sleep, eat and drink; so when the fleet returned to the country, he kept running back to his manor to enjoy his vacation and let the housekeeper come to see Gu Haimao. , and thinking about his own hard work, His Royal Highness has to give himself face, carelessly asking the housekeeper to pull the moldy spices backlogged the year before to the port to fill up...

Master Conrad, who was drinking wine with his mistress in his arms, received the news that his family was kicked out of the Royal Chamber of Commerce after the fleet went to sea. He almost choked peanuts into his trachea on the spot.

Conrad was so angry that he hurried to his old friend, who was also a third-generation nouveau riche, only to find out when he arrived...an old friend who, like him, ran back to enjoy life after returning to China, stealthily Avoiding him and running back to the port, he was already on the fleet going out to sea.

No matter how stupid Conrad was, he realized that he had fallen into the pit, and hurried to find other nobles who had participated in the Royal Chamber of Commerce—well, except for him, those gentlemen all went to sea.

... This is also very normal. I also think that "the little rich will be safe" and want to have a lot of money. After all, those who are not forced to count are a minority.

After tossing and tossing for several days, and finally got the exact news from the headquarters of the chamber of commerce, Conrad slammed his ass on the floor, and realized that he had become the most unlucky idiot——His Royal Highness found out that the set he was playing was a sham. After a good trick, he was kicked out mercilessly, and it was too late for others to grab his share, so how could they talk to him; only [-]% of the royal family’s goods on the Chamber of Commerce’s fleet accounted for [-]% of it was distributed to those who followed Prince Carlisle. Run, who doesn't have many manors and plantations, only hates that the cabin can't fit, and doesn't think there is too much space.

A voyage is at least ten times the profit as a bottom line. It is too expensive to talk about feelings at this juncture!

Master Conrad returned to his mansion in the aristocratic area of ​​the royal city in a daze, racking his brains to think of how to win back Prince Carlisle's heart.When he was grinning and pulling his hair, the guards of His Royal Highness Anthony came to visit.

The guard who came from a noble family who was not a son of a nobleman accompanied Master Conrad to chat about the weather and the famous ladies in the royal city for a long time. Then he asked Master Conrad if he remembered the route of Prince Carlisle's fleet and the northern continent. The location of the port, whether there is any friendship with the elves who are connected, and so on.

Conrad was stunned, the route?When he was on the boat, because Prince Carlisle didn't allow his mistress to board the boat, he drank wine in the stuffy cabin all day long, I don't know; the elves?Conrad didn't know those pointy-eared, haughty, unreasonable people.

The guard rolled his eyes, patted his ass and left...

"Is Carlisle recruiting such incompetent waste?!"

In the castle, in the study of the eldest prince, His Royal Highness Anthony slapped the table angrily.

The chief guard of His Royal Highness swallowed his saliva and did not dare to say anything. If it weren't for being such a waste, he wouldn't have been kicked out by the second prince so quickly.

"Forget it... Yumi from Hockley's family didn't go out with me this time, so she sent an invitation letter to Hockley's family for me, asking her to come to tomorrow's tea party." Prince Anthony said in a bad tone, "I don't believe that Hockley's family rejected me. courage... If they dare to be so ignorant, the next motion proposed by Councilor Hockley will not be passed!"

The tea party in the side hall of the royal city is a place where noble ladies and young masters flock to socialize, and Prince Anthony was the most popular host in the royal family at least a year ago. Yumi Hockley received the invitation letter and made it the next day. He dressed up beautifully and came in a carriage.

As the number one beauty in Wangcheng, when Yumi appeared, she was always surrounded by stars and bees, which made other ladies present at the same time envious and jealous, and also made Prince Anthony, who wanted to talk to Yumi, unable to talk for a long time Opportunities for "private" topics... have been hidden in the corners of the venue, and every now and then, there are always dandy young masters who want to get close to Yumi and disturb them.

"Are you talking about the style of the Northern Continent? Of course, it's very interesting. Those elves with pointed ears are beautiful and handsome, but unfortunately they don't understand the style, and their skin color doesn't suit my liking... Ah, Vic, long time no see, okay , I will definitely come to Mrs. Bryce's reception next time."

"Sea people? No, no, my lord Anthony, I don't like dealing with those broad-nosed clowns... Hey, Brady, you look stronger... Yeah, you're a knight, oh I know you Definitely do it baby..."

"The person I care about most on the prairie? Of course it is my beloved Dahe! It's true, Your Highness Anthony, I swear that there is no man in this world who is more handsome and graceful than Dahe. My God, anyone Everyone will fall in love with Dahe at first sight, believe me, he is the highest masterpiece of the goddess of life, unique and irreplaceable, BALABALABALABALA—”

When Yumi clasped her hands and became nympho, His Royal Highness Anthony felt his eyes go dark... Obviously, he couldn't get more things out of Yumi's mouth this time.

Forced to smile and cheer up to get through this boring tea party, Prince Anthony almost fled the side hall at a galloping speed. If he didn't escape, those ladies who wanted to germinate a second spring could eat him alive... Multi-generation The appearance of the St. Bridge royal family is still quite high under the genetic improvement of beautiful women, but it is not high enough to make Yumi crazy.

"Damn it, who is the 'Teacher Ayun' that Carlisle is talking about?"

Incompetent and furious, Prince Anthony slammed the table, and Prince Anthony was so irritable that he wanted to hit someone: "Carlisle has worshiped so many famous teachers on the mainland, but he has never seen anyone who can teach him as difficult as he is now. Who the hell is that Ayun!"

"Uh...His Royal Highness, why don't you call Dan Crowdy to ask?" The head guard bit the bullet and suggested.

Immediately, Prince Anthony's deepest impression of Dan Crowdy, the funny knight, appeared in his mind - when he had not graduated from the Royal Academy, the junior Claude was a foreign teacher chasing specially hired, wanting to He was a man of the hour who had been used as a mount for him, but was beaten by a teacher of a foreign race.

"Forget it, I don't want to make a joke!" Prince Anthony's face turned black, but he regretted it as soon as he said it, and immediately changed his words, "No, you send someone to Claudie's house, just say that I want to be on the royal horse farm. Call Dan."

"Of order." The chief guard responded, and immediately sent a guard out of the palace, and galloped towards Claudie's house on horseback.

Then... I didn't see anyone, and said that Master Dan went out to hunt in the city, and I don't know how long he will be back...

That night, the desk in Anthony's study was once again HP-1, HP-1, HP-1, HP-1...

It was also the same night, in the noble hunting area on the outskirts of Wangcheng, Dan Crowdy and Yumi Hockley met at some point, and sat face to face to sprinkle spices on the oily barbecue.

"The eldest prince's bodyguard went to my house in the afternoon. You angered His Royal Highness Anthony at the tea party at noon?" Dan talked while gnawing on the leg of lamb, and Yumi moved the small bench back with disgust because of his saliva.

"How dare I provoke His Royal Highness Anthony, I will answer whatever he asks, but I will obey." Youmi tore the shredded meat with her hands and ate it ladylikely, "I just praised Dahe, and his face looked as ugly as something, Really, let them talk about beauties, but not me about beautiful men?"

"Hmm...then I don't think I can go back for a while." Dan licked his fingers, "Let the prince's guards go a few more times, anyway, it's not very pleasing for others to see me."

"Anthony is so different from Carlisle. Carlisle always visits the door himself when he finds someone. Who would believe his sincerity when he sends a guard at random?" Yumi shrugged, "Don't talk about him, how many people come to the door past you?"

Dan smiled and counted out several noble families.

"They're all little nobles." Yumi frowned.

"When the fleet comes back this time, what needs to be moved should be moved." Dan carelessly said, "It's not convenient for His Royal Highness to come back, so it's up to the two of us to select reliable people for him. We just need to wait."

Several groups of guards were sent out, and after waiting for two days without seeing Dan Crowdy, the desk in the study of His Royal Highness was directly changed...

After walking around the newly changed table twice like headless flies, Anthony suddenly stamped his feet: "Wait... that boy named Tim and the commoner named Darren haven't returned to the country - Carlisle left them behind. In the north?"

"It should be." Facing the eldest prince whose temper was getting worse and worse, as the head of the guard, he couldn't help himself.

"So it seems that Carlisle attaches great importance to them?" Anthony sneered, "Very good... contact the Humphreys for me."

"Yes." The head guard tightened his scalp.

Xiao Yun set up a pergola and looked forward. This coastline is a little far from the place where he boiled salt, at least [-] to [-] kilometers away. The coastline here is gentle, and there are few common low mountains. Walk out of the forest that obstructs the view. area, with an immediate view of the sea, and the newly inaugurated port on the beach.

Several patrolling elven warriors found this group of snow werewolves and approached them actively. Someone inside recognized Yu and waved with a smile: "You guys came quite quickly, the merchant ship hasn't come yet."

"Let's bring the things here first." Yu nodded, turned around and introduced to Xiao Yun, "Ayun, this is Alan. Alan, this is Ayun from our tribe."

"Hello……"

"You're the one who told those ghost stories!" Elf Allen pointed at Ayun and shouted righteously.

Xiao Yun: "??"

The other elf warriors were all happy: "Obviously you are the one who is afraid and loves to listen, and you are blaming others."

"Alan, don't scare other people's cubs."

"Hahaha, idiot!"

"..." The corner of Xiao Yun's mouth twitched, and he squinted at Yu, "Maomao, are you telling the story to others?"

"They came to listen to us when we told the story, not because I wanted to scare them." Yu scratched his head.

Xiao Yun didn't bother to explain what he actually wanted to say: "...OK."

This group of elf warriors kindly brought the snow werewolves to the port, and the elf named Allen also pointed out the newly built wooden house to them: "The wooden house here is built for your snow wolf clan, and it is bigger than the wooden house that humans live in." The door frame is high, so it will not be so easy to hit the head."

Xiao Yun rubbed his chin...these pointed ears are unexpectedly kind.

"Over there is the warehouse. The warehouse with the green door is yours to use." The elf warrior pointed to another row of relatively large and simple wooden houses.

"How is the rent calculated?" Xiao Yun asked naturally.

"...Huh?" Allen was taken aback.

"Live in the wooden house you provided and borrow the warehouse you built, of course we have to pay for the rent." Xiao Yun took it for granted.

"This... the general didn't say anything." Allen scratched his scalp.

"Please help me apply for an interview with the generals of the noble clan. I hope the rental fee can be settled as soon as possible." Xiao Yun said immediately.The pursuit of doing business is to reduce costs, but the necessary expenses cannot be waived. If you use the venue provided by others, others can prevent you from using it at any time. If you pay for it, this matter is reasonable and legal. OK.

The innumerable business scams invented by people on earth have been proven countless times to be the most expensive mouthpiece~

"Okay." The elf warrior couldn't understand why the cub insisted so much, but they didn't have the position to refuse such a thing as being offered to pay.

The elves are very efficient, and soon Xiao Yun met the elf general Kleist. The first time he saw this person... an impolite thought came to Xiao Yun's mind: This guy doesn't go to COS What a waste of Reinhardt.

Long golden curly shawl hair, slender eyebrows and long eyes, high nose and thin lips, handsome and delicate, and wearing a straight elf military uniform with suncloth, dragging a big cloak, with a gemstone sheathed sword at the waist, if it weren't for the sides of the head His pointed ears and light green skin are a bit inconsistent, Xiao Yun couldn't help but praise him for being handsome...

Well, of course, even this elf general is not as handsome as Dahe.

"Ayun, the cub of the Snow Wolf Clan, you offered to pay the rent?" Kleist said with a pleasant face, regardless of race, being polite and kind to cubs and young is the cultivation of the elves. The elf said otherwise.

"Yes, Your Excellency General." Xiao Yun respectfully... put himself in the position of the younger generation, "Our family is already very sorry for borrowing the port of the noble tribe, if we have to use the wooden houses and warehouses provided by the noble tribe with the cheek , that would be too ignorant."

Kleist seemed to find the prudish look of a cub very amusing, and said with a smile, "Then how much rent do you think is appropriate to pay us?"

"One-thirtieth of the transaction amount." Xiao Yundao, "One-thirtieth of the total amount of spices, white cotton cloth and other goods we traded with St. Bridge is used as the cost for our clan to rent the noble tribe's venue, Your Excellency Do you think it's possible?"

Kleist's slender eyes are a little rounded, and his eyes are a little straight... Wait, how does this sound like... The snow wolf tribe pays their forest elves a tax?

"Is this the opinion of your tribe?" Kleist couldn't believe it. Could it be that this cub is talking nonsense?

"Yes, in fact, my trip was entrusted by the two patriarchs of the tribe." Xiao Yun said modestly, "The two patriarchs agreed that our Snow Wolf Clan should not use the port built and maintained by the noble tribe to conduct transactions for nothing. , should pay a certain share of the cost."

Kleist frowned slightly, and tapped his fingers on the handrail... The elves put all their efforts into building and maintaining the port, of course, it was the elves' own transactions with the sea clan and humans, and they didn't really care whether the snow wolves came or not Use it... Anyway, the land on the grassland does not belong to the forest elves, and the main labor force for construction and maintenance is also a vassal race. It is not a big deal to provide some convenience if you are in a good mood and see the snow wolf clan pleasing to the eye.

However, the Snowwolves proposed to regard their transaction as a "tax payment" under the protection of the elves, which is a bit beyond expectations...

But no matter how you look at this matter, Kleist has no reason to refuse. Although the spices and white cotton cloth traded by the snow wolves are not very popular, the snow wolves who regard the forest elves as "port sovereign owners" The attitude is quite comfortable.The lion doesn't care if the ant flatters or not, but if the ant is smart and flatters well, the lion can smile too.

"Yes." General Kleist nodded slightly, "Our family collects 500% of the tax you pay, and provides your snow wolf clan with a place to trade, residences and warehouses during the transaction, and prohibits anyone from harming others in the port area. Snow wolf tribe, are you satisfied with this promise?" At the end, the elf general laughed. To a man over [-] years old like him, this snow wolf cub who may only have lived for more than ten years looked serious. It's kind of funny.

"Thank you so much, Your Excellency General." Xiao Yun bowed happily, just being obedient, simple~

To make a special trip just to give money to others, it sounds a bit cheap... But Xiao Yun didn't want to go head-to-head with that Lamia business group because of the trade in the grassland. The port is a deadly place to roam around on the grassland. , but people will die in war, so the calculation, the small fortune of [-] tax [-] is still a good deal~

General Kleist rarely... personally sent the visitors out of the Elf Hotel, and finally licked Xiao Yun's dog's head.

Xiao Yun: "..." If he couldn't turn his face, he ordered to slap this guy's paws away.

Rubbing the old face that was pretending to be tender and a little stiff, she returned to the wooden house of the Snow Wolf Clan. Before Xiao Yun could take a breather, Hai Lin rushed towards him...

"Mr. Ayun, have you brought the cook here? Who is here?!" Hai Lin, who had no image of an elf, shook Xiao Yun's shoulder vigorously.

Xiao Yun shook his head.

"Huh——" Hai Lin suddenly became fatigued, and her facial features wrinkled.

Xiao Yun pointed his nose with his finger: "I taught Dahe Niujiao's cooking skills."

"Teacher Ayun, teach me!" Hailin surrendered her knee on the spot.

"Let go, I didn't drive Lanxiang!" Xiao Yun scolded, "What do you look like stuttering!"

Hai Lin got up, hugged Xiao Yun's shoulders, and lowered her voice: "The fighters on duty at the port this month have been rotated, and Sabrina, the most beautiful fighter in our Ananas City, has also rotated here... Ayun, we are friends , yes, should you help me?"

"...That's right, it should be." Xiao Yun stared at dead fish eyes, and sure enough, men's IQ would drop infinitely when they were licking dogs, no matter what race they were.

"So I want to ask you to learn cooking skills, isn't it reasonable?" Hailin's voice became rough.

"You are very reasonable, Hai Lin, but Kai is also my friend, I remember Kai is single, yes." Xiao Yun said with a blank expression.

"Are you a devil!" Hai Lin put her head in her hands, "No, Kay hasn't taken the initiative to talk to you, when did you become friends?!"

"Of course...friends whose hearts meet and who share the same mind." Xiao Yun said honestly.

Helene: "..."

After teasing Hailin to deepen their friendship (?!), Xiao Yun took Hailin back to the wooden house and stuffed him with two cans of canned fruit in glass bottles, a small packet of meat floss, and a bottle of maltose—these things cannot be done in the tribe. Mass production, canned fruit and meat floss can be sold for retail (maltose can’t be used as a commodity if it’s not stored for a long time), the target customer is Carlyle’s business group, the ship travels at sea for at least a month, canned fruit with a long storage time Sure to be popular.

Anyway, the cost of canned fruit is the cost of burning the glass bottle, the sour and unpalatable wild fruit when picked, and the "gift" from the forest elves, almost nothing... except for the bottle mouth that needs to be sealed when opening Apart from the trouble of breaking it, there is no disadvantage.

After sending Hailin away, Xiao Yun gathered the soldiers together, murmured for a while, and asked the others to get fresh seafood and game. If the family is engaged in diplomacy, it will always work to play a game of food strategy and lay the foundation of the friendship between the two sides!

"Bonfire party?" General Kleist put on his regular clothes and sat in the room reading a book, turning his head curiously upon hearing this.

"That's right, it's hosted by Ayun. It's on the beach east of the port. We're invited to participate." Hailin nodded sharply, "Are you coming too, General? Ayun cooks the food himself. He's the cook of the Snow Wolf Tribe." Teacher, the food made by their cook is delicious!"

"Wait, isn't Ayun the...name of that snow wolf cub?" General Kleist asked strangely, "That cub is also very good at cooking?"

"Yes, General, everyone who gave gifts last time has eaten their food, it's really delicious!" Hai Lin clasped her hands and turned her face forward.

"Okay, okay..." General Kleist leaned back, dumbfounded, "Go as long as you want to participate. The shift changer goes first, and then comes back to replace the shift shifter. I won't go."

Hai Lin turned her head and left without saying a word... He took his goddess to enjoy the spicy food~

"That guy Kay is much more honest, but Helene has become more lively." General Kleist shook his head, turned around and continued reading.

The cultural background of the elves is second to none on the mainland. The bard association composed of those elves who love to travel, publishes various miscellaneous notes, travel notes, knowledge records, legendary life and other books, occupying the largest number of publicly published books in the world. Half of the country... On the contrary, adult elves (over a hundred years old) naturally have the habit.

What General Kleist is reading is the new continental travelogue published by the Bard Association. This travelogue mentions the trade between the forest elves and the Sea Clan, and spends a lot of time praising the artistic achievements of the forest elves... Uh , although it is his own people who praise his own people, but Kleist just loves this.

General Kleist, who was indulging in the rhetoric and fancy flattery, suddenly smelled a fragrance that seduces the internal organs of the people...
