At this time, Rhett had already left the warehouse and was strolling leisurely among the flowers, breathing in the fragrant scent.

Suddenly he saw Sveta jogging towards him, and he was moved. He pretended to be curious and asked: "Sveta, you look very anxious now, what happened?"

"Master, huh, it's really something very important!" Perhaps because of her age, Sveta was a little out of breath after running a few steps.

"Don't be in a hurry. Take a breath and talk slowly."

After her breathing stabilized a little, Sveta wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, “I just met the troops on the canyon defense line, and they were heading towards Twilight City.

But when he passed by our territory just now, he learned that I was the steward here and asked me to tell the master the news that the front line was buying a large amount of ore. "

"Oh? What price did they offer?" Rhett was delighted inside, but asked casually on the surface.

"Well, I don't remember this very clearly, because the types are too complicated. I only remember that they said that the lowest type of ore has a 1.4 times premium purchase price, and the highest seems to be 2.2 times..." Sveta touched his forehead, looking thoughtful.

"What? A 1.4 to 2.2 times premium? Are you sure you heard it right?" Lei Te was shocked. Although he knew about the premium acquisition, he was still a little surprised by the magnitude.

"Yes, sir. Although the summer weather is hot and anxious, my mind remains clear."

"Where are they now?" Rhett took a big step and prepared to catch up.

"Don't worry, Master!" Sveta saw Rhett's intention and quickly stopped him, saying, "When I returned to the manor just now, I first met Master Ruilai and told him the news.

Master Ruilai is now riding on Baige to catch up with the troops on the canyon defense line."

Hearing this, Rhett paused, his expression relaxed, and he patted Sveta on the shoulder, "Well... well done, Sveta.

You just said the weather is hot? Well, you can go back to the castle and ask Malu the cook to make you a green bean smoothie."

"That's a great idea, but there's no ice in the kitchen." Sveta said with a little regret.

"Don't worry. I saw Ruilai early in the morning and helped condense a bucket of ice. Now the reserves are abundant."

"That's great. I'll go find Malu the cook now." Sveta asked with a smile, "Would the master like a drink?"

"Well, that's fine. I need to add some pudding and blueberry jam." Rhett said after thinking for a while.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Sveta bowed.

Bai Ge carried Ruilai and ran wildly on the sparsely wooded field, chasing for more than half an hour.

Finally I saw a dark shadow in the distance ahead.

Ruilai showed a hint of joy on his face and urged: "Hey, speed up and catch up with the black shadow in front!"

Roar! Bai Ge raised his head and roared. The green airflow around him became stronger. He stared at the front with sharp eyes and increased his speed to the extreme! Finally.

There was less than a kilometer left.

The team in front stopped on their own initiative.

Many people turned their heads back at the same time, apparently noticing that someone was following them.

The team consisted of hundreds of people, all wearing black armor, with two hard feathers inserted in their helmets, one light gold and one bright red.

Behind them were hundreds of pack horses pulling large open trucks made of gray metal, making the team look quite spectacular.

Before Ruilai could get close, a soldier broke away from the back of the team and quickly flashed in front of Ruilai.

"Stop ahead, who are you?" The soldier pushed with one hand, with a hint of danger in his words.

"Hello, I'm from Young Eagle Town - Ruilai, and Rhett Green is my father." Ruilai introduced himself first, and when the other party's expression eased, he began to explain: "I just heard from the housekeeper that you seem to be buying ore?"

After learning the other party's identity, the soldier's expression eased and he said, "That's right. The war in the front has been very intense recently. The demand for ore is huge. No matter how much comes, we can eat it all!"

Ruilai's expression lit up: "What a coincidence! To be honest, we have about 150 tons of ore reserves in our territory..."

"Are you serious?" The soldier was startled and interrupted Riley before he could finish his words.

"You can send someone to the territory to verify it in person." Ruilai shrugged, and at the same time he felt like he was dreaming. In the past half week, he often wondered what was the purpose of his father storing so much ore? Who could consume more than a ton of ore? There were not so many blacksmiths in his own territory, what would he do if the ore rotted in his hands? Until today, he finally woke up! Presumably, with the news from his father and Deputy Commander Anbiru, he had inquired about some important news from the front line when they met last time. Maybe it was because of this that he seized this opportunity? He is worthy of being a father! "Okay! Wait a moment, I will report this matter to the commander."

Da da da

The soldier returned on his horse and seemed to have circled to the front of the team.

About a minute later, the troops in the front set out again towards Twilight City.

But more than twenty people stayed behind and set off in the opposite direction with dozens of carriages.

It stopped in front of Ruilai.

A tall and burly man with a scar running diagonally across his face, wearing black armor and a two-handed sword slung diagonally across his waist, almost dragged to the ground.

“Hello, Rylai.

I am the second captain under Anbiru - Snowway.

I heard that… there are a lot of minerals in Young Eagle Town?"

"That's right."

After getting the confirmation, Snowway's eyes showed a touch of joy. He didn't care about the source of the large amount of ore at all. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "Great, please take us there. The price will definitely satisfy you."

"I'd love to. Please follow me."

The first floor hall of Deep Rock Castle.

Rhett was sitting on a chair, using an exquisite iron spoon to scoop out mung bean smoothie covered with a layer of blue-purple jam from a crystal cup.

With one spoonful, the mixture of blueberry jam, pudding, mung bean paste and smoothie is numbed and stimulated in the mouth. It is sweet with a slight sourness and feels refreshing.

"Oh, this mung bean smoothie is pretty good." Lei Te took the spoon in his hand, just staring at the fiery red pattern on it, and said with a little surprise: "But this spoon seems to be made of fire pattern ore. Isn't it not suitable to match it with smoothie? The smoothie turned into water as soon as it touched the spoon, which ruined the taste!"

Sveta came out of the kitchen with a glass of smoothie in her hand, but the container was just an ordinary glass cup, which looked ordinary, and the one used was an ordinary gray-white iron spoon.

After hearing what Leiter said, Sveta quickened her pace and quickly walked out of the passage. She pointed at a thin figure in the hall and said in a stern tone, "Shaer, I think your mind must be confused because of the summer heat. Those are the soup spoons prepared for the master and the young master to drink soup in winter. Who told you to take them now?"

Shar, who had just found a rag and was about to wipe the corner of the wall, suddenly realized what had happened. He slapped his forehead and said with regret: "Oh, Mr. Sveta, I forgot about this!"

Then he walked up to Leiter dejectedly and said, “I’m sorry, sir.

Please forgive my stupidity and give me a chance, I will definitely change for the better! "

Rhett held the handle of the spoon, stood it up, looked at it for a few more times, and said to Sveta, "Well, it's a beautifully crafted soup spoon. Very nice. Did you contact the blacksmith shop to make it?"

"It's not me, it's Master Ruilai. He said that with this kind of spoon, when the little masters are born in winter, they don't have to be chilled by the spoon when drinking milk or soup." Sveta paused and praised, "Master Ruilai is really thoughtful!"

By the way...please get me a new spoon.

"Don't take it with your dirty hands. Remember to wash it and put it on the tray." Sveta quickly added.

Shar was touched: "Thank you for your tolerance, sir. I'll go right away!"

Half an hour later, Rhett finished the smoothie with a new spoon.

"Sir, would you like another drink?"

"No need. Eating too much sweet food will make you sick of it." Lei Te put the empty cup on the table and asked in surprise, "Why hasn't Rui Lai come back yet?"

"I'll go out and take a look." Sveta turned and walked towards the castle gate.

Not long after, he returned with Rilai and went to the kitchen to inform Cook Maru to prepare for the possible lunch.

And Ruilai said to Leiter happily: "Father, Deputy Commander Anbiru's second captain is here, responsible for purchasing military supplies this time. They have arrived outside the manor!"

"Captain No. 2...Snowway?" A hint of surprise flashed across Leiter's eyes, and he sat up suddenly, "Let's go, I want to greet the guests!"

He and Snowway are old acquaintances, and both of them are subordinates of Deputy Commander Ambiru.

When they arrived at the gate of the manor, Rhett met Snowwell and the two exchanged greetings.

Later, while inviting him into the manor, he noticed dozens of carriages behind him, which were more than enough to load all his ore.

The two walked on the green lawn, walking in front. Snowway said with a little emotion: "Sir Rhett, it seems that you have developed very well after retirement. It is amazing to achieve this in the southwest border."

"Haha, it's just luck." Lei Te smiled, then his face turned serious and asked, "I just heard that the war on the front line has escalated again?"

Snowway also became serious and nodded, "Yes. The number of orcs has increased dramatically since two months ago.

Our casualty rate and material consumption suddenly increased a lot.

If this continues, I'm afraid in a few months, it will be time to sound the alarm on the southwest border!" Snowway narrowed his eyes.

Although he already knew the news, Rhett remained silent and quietly led the way to the warehouse.

Looking at the tall, wide and long stone warehouse, Snowway and the soldiers behind him all exclaimed in surprise.

When Rhett opened the warehouse, the rich elements piled up inside made Snowway's eyes light up and he walked in quickly.

"Well, blue stone ore, light crystal ore, and fire pattern ore..." There are not many types of mines, and Snowway can quickly identify them, but such a large number shocked him.

He gently stroked a piece of translucent light crystal ore, feeling the uneven edges and corners. A moment later, a voice came from deep in the warehouse: "Sir Leiter, how much do you plan to sell these ores for?"

"I want to ask the price first."

"Well, the bluestone ore and fire pattern ore both have a 1.4 times premium. The price of 10 kilograms is 5 silver and 7 copper. Light crystal ore is relatively valuable, with a higher price and a higher premium. After a 1.8 times premium, the purchase price is 10 silver and 8 copper." Snowway finished speaking, walked out slowly from the depths of the warehouse, and asked, "Sir Rhett, are you satisfied with these prices?"

Leiter said "agree" several times in his heart, but he still pondered for half a minute before saying solemnly: "I am willing to sell all of them, hoping that it will be helpful to the war on the front line."

He didn't bargain, and in fact there was no need to bargain.

This price can allow Lei Te to obtain a profit of about 70%.

For a small time and labor cost, it is indeed a huge profit! "I estimate that this wave can directly earn more than 4,000 gold coins..." Lei Te secretly calculated in his heart.

The two men finalized the deal, and soon, the soldiers outside began loading cartloads of ore.

Because the ore inside is not piled on the ground, but placed in the car.

Rhett could sense that half of the knights following Snowway were fourth-level knights, and there were some who he couldn't even sense any aura from.

Cartloads of ore were quickly transferred to the trucks at the back of the team.

In less than half an hour, the warehouse was emptied of ore thanks to the transportation of these powerful knights.

Then, another soldier came from behind, holding two large bags of gold coins in each hand and placed them in front of Rhett.

After counting, the number was correct.

Leiter was in a good mood and politely extended an invitation: "Captain Snowway, I sent someone to prepare some snacks. There are also exquisite dishes for lunch. Why don't you come to my castle and sit down to enjoy it?"

"We don't have that blessing anymore. Time is short and the mission is heavy. We need to go to Twilight City and finally to Flint City." Snowway patted the dust off his hands and said, "Maybe you will return to the battlefield soon. When that time comes, we will drink beast wine together again."

"I'm looking forward to that day, but... I'm not looking forward to it either." Rhett said solemnly.

Snowway was silent for a moment, then tried to speak in a relaxed tone:

"Yeah, who wants the war to spread? Many of my brothers have already passed away."

well

Touching Leiter's elbow, Snowway smiled again, "We can't chat here anymore, we have to hurry up and get on the road."

"I'll walk you to the door."
