What Landen didn't expect was that the rooms in the small building where Count was located were surprisingly high, with each floor being 10 meters tall. The room where Count was located was an extremely large and extremely high room that was directly raised to the roof.
Landen, who had just entered the room, glanced at the various layouts of the room curiously. In Landen's opinion, this place looked more like a gymnasium in his previous life, with a super high roof, various exercise equipment, and special wooden floors.
Count Bristle-Wolf was quietly half sitting and half lying on a huge rocking chair, looking at the curious Landen, Fernando was standing behind Count.
"Do you think this room is interesting?" Count said
"Your room is very unique"
"Actually, in big families, rooms like this are very common. After breaking through to Sky Knight, you need a special venue to practice flying with Battle Qi." Count said while looking around.
"At that time, I thought that becoming Sky Knight was a matter of course, but later I realized that the requirements behind the 'naturalness' even exceeded the requirements of Sky Knight itself."
In fact, Landen agreed with this sentence when he first heard it. During the first few years of working in his previous life, Landen also believed that as long as he worked hard enough, subsequent promotions and salary increases were natural. However, after many years of wasted time, he also knew that even if you put aside the illusory connections, personality, opportunities and even fate are enough to change the word "naturally".
Of course Landen knows better. Count seems to be introducing life experience to Landen. In fact, what he really wants to express is that Landen now inherits Viscount is not as simple as "it should be", but he Count Bristle-Wolf fought for it. Count Bristle-Wolf hopes Landen can appreciate it.
"My father has always warned me that as Intermediate Knight, I can successfully inherit the title of Viscount Rothe, thanks to the care of Count"
"Hey, Landen Viscount is now the great hero of our Northwest Territory place." Old Bristle-Wolf smiled, "Even King His Majesty will also award you Court Viscount. Do you want to just accept the honor? Or do you plan to stay at Royal Capital and do your duty for His Majesty?"
"Count What do you mean?"
"I think you just inherited Rothe Territory and you don't have a clue about everything yet. It's better to practice in the territory for a few years and wait until the territory can run on its own before going to Royal Capital."
"Thank you Mr. Count, I agree with you exactly."
"Okay, I heard that you have fulfilled all the contracts between the Bob Family and other nobles?"
"Yes, Lord Count, Gallop Plains needs a lot of food, and also produces horses and salt." Landen organized the words and expressed his thoughts,
"Now there are too many Barbarian and Human Race Mana-Wielder in Rothe Territory. Rothe Territory cannot afford to feed them. They must return to the plains to develop Salt Mine, raise Black-Scaled Horse or other livestock, and exchange these Grassland specialties for grains."
"Very good, I feel relieved that you can have such a plan for the territory. Gallop Plains has been the biggest source of chaos in Northwest Territory in the past few hundred years. I hope you can maintain the peace today." Count had a happy expression on his face.
"I am very happy that you are developing your territory. I will ask Butler to find a place for you outside the city. In the future, your caravan will have fixed warehouses and houses when it comes to Bristle-Wolf City."
"Thank you Mr. Count."
"In addition, each of their nobles has a mansion of their own in the city. Bob Viscount has it. Your father also had it, but then he sold his house to Bob." Count smiled and said, "I'll let Butler take you there later. Now these two houses are yours too."
"But Landen, I heard that your caravan will eventually go to Royal Capital, right?"
Here, Landen knew that Count Bristle-Wolf was ready to make an offer, "Yes, sir, I have reached a contract with the Salt and Iron Department."
"Oh, of course, Dragon Kingdom needs the salt of the plains very much, but as far as I know, our Dragon Kingdom nobles are mainly Warcraft Leather Armor, and our mounts are also Warcraft.
If you spend all your energy bringing Black-Scaled Horse and Iron Armor to Royal Capital, you probably won't be able to sell them!"
"Oh, I didn't expect this. As you know, sir, I have never been to Royal Capital, so I really don't know the situation."
While Landen was responding to Count, he was complaining in his heart, "Are you making trouble with me? They are all wearing Leather Armor. The tens of thousands of deposits from Royal Capital in Bob's account book were all blown by the strong wind?"
"In my opinion, your Black-Scaled Horse and Iron Armor will be sold in Bristle-Wolf City's store. If they can't be sold, I will cover them and save you from going all the way to Royal Capital."
If it weren't for Bob's account book, Landen would have thought it was his father Hark who said this.
"Then thank you so much Count, but no matter what, I still need to send a lot of salt to Royal Capital. It would be great if there were enough cargo ships."
"Isn't this a coincidence? Every time our caravan goes there, it takes a cargo ship. It stops in several cities along the way. Our two caravans can go together. I will only charge 10% of your profit as shipping fee."
"Thank you so much Count." Landen knows that the asking price is indeed not high. Landen As Viscount, his caravan needs a high city entry tax to go to cities other than Northwest Territory.
Although table salt is Salt and Iron Department's goods, it can be tax-free with the Salt and Iron Department salt certificate as a certificate, but people at the city gate will make things difficult, and other goods accompanying the caravan will be taxed at a higher rate.
However, following the fleet of Count, not only can a large amount of salt be transported at low cost, but also under the banner of Northwest Count, most of the city entry tax can be exempted. This alone is very profitable.
"Count There is one more thing. I don't have enough food in my territory. I want to buy some food from Bristle-Wolf City."
"It's easy to handle. Follow my Butler, take my voucher, and go to the warehouse behind to buy some old grain."
"Okay, thank you so much Count"
Old grain is much cheaper than new grain. It can not only be used as rations for Barbarian, but also as feed for Black-Scaled Horse and beasts of burden. This is what Bob Viscount must buy every year when doing business.
Before leaving, Landen presented several other sets of Magic Pattern Equipment to Count, and then followed Butler to receive plots of land inside and outside the city.
"Father, there is no need to give Bob's house to Landen, right?" Fernando is quite confused about his father's generosity. "Even if we buy his armor and horses, we will buy them based on the price. He still has to do business with us. Our family has given him enough profits."
"Hey" Old Bristle-Wolf sighed. His son was good in other aspects, but he took money too seriously. "Now the whole Kingdom hopes that Gallop Family and I will have a conflict. They are afraid that the Gallop Plains plain will be monopolized by us."
"Then we can't coddle him like this."
"So? We squeeze him out and let him go to Royal Capital to complain every day under the guise of Court Viscount?"
"Then let Landen go to Royal Capital and be his Court Viscount"
"Then what? Let Blue Dragon Family find him a Silver Knight wife to manage Rothe Territory?"
"You mean?" Fernando raised his hand to indicate a height of 3 meters.
"Yes, that Dragonborn girl." Count gritted his teeth and stood up, "Each family has different understandings of the same things. In your opinion, she is one of a thousand Mana-Wielder, but in the eyes of others, she is just a bargaining chip for exchange of interests.
If you want to avoid becoming a bargaining chip, you must not only see the current situation Gold Coin, but also the future situation!"
Count once again fell into the memories of half a month ago. In front of Legend and Archmage, he was forced to admit that he wanted that lady to marry the future Viscount Rothe. This was the most difficult moment in his decades-long Count career.
