Dark Eagle City was not prosperous at that time, and the streets were sparsely populated, but Carlton's words still attracted the attention of some people nearby, who stared at Lawrence with great curiosity and envy.

The extraordinary people who are not strong enough cannot see through Lawrence's strength and envy that Lawrence is valued by the president of the Dalton Chamber of Commerce.

As for the few knights at level 2 and above, a hint of jealousy flashed in their eyes. Such a young knight at level 2 would surely achieve extraordinary things in the future!

Lawrence was shocked: "President Carlton, I can't accept this gift. Please take back the sword!"

He stretched out his hand and solemnly pushed back the fine golden sword.

Carlton continued to persuade him, but to no avail. He was very surprised by Lawrence's firm attitude. He was curious that there was a knight so pure and innocent that he could refuse such an excellent weapon. Looking at the other party's firm and pure eyes, Carlton secretly admired him. At the same time, he also knew that this method would definitely not work.

Fortunately, he was experienced and quickly changed his strategy:

"Lawrence, you are a true knight with a loyal and pure character. Just treat this as a test. You are undoubtedly an excellent knight."

Immediately, he took out a black and gold card with exquisite patterns and elegant characters on it, and changed the subject: "Please accept this discount card. In the future, when you come to our Doton Chamber of Commerce to consume, you can enjoy many discounts."

"This..." Lawrence was entangled, but soon decided to refuse again.

"Lawrence, please accept it. President Carlton's kindness should not be wasted."

A faint voice came from behind.

The familiar voice startled Lawrence, and he turned around quickly. Seeing Leiter, he saluted like a knight: "Welcome, Lord!"

The other knights reacted and shouted, "Welcome, Lord!"

The sound was deafening, and for a moment the city gate was bustling with activity.

Leiter came up and greeted warmly:

"Carlton, long time no see. You look more energetic than the last time we met."

Carlton smiled, his fat body and shiny forehead gleaming with wisdom, and he also greeted enthusiastically: "Count Leiter, your momentum is even more magnificent. This meeting is really amazing."

As the two talked, they walked into the city, followed by a team of knights and carriages.

Rhett walked in front, and Carlton was very tactful and did not walk side by side with him. Instead, he stepped back half a body length and was willing to be a foil.

"President Carlton, you came here with quite a big fanfare this time, bringing a lot of people and goods with you. It looks like you have something else to do?"

Lei Te took the lead in bringing up the topic.

Carlton smiled and said, "You are right. I am a businessman. I am either doing business or on my way to do business. This time I came here to discuss something with Earl Leiter."

"Oh? Please tell me what it is." Rhett smiled and pretended to be curious.

“I sent people to investigate before and learned that Dark Eagle City is developing very rapidly and has extraordinary potential.

After I reported and communicated with the higher-ups, we finally decided to open a branch of the Dalton Chamber of Commerce in Dark Eagle City!"

Leiter paused and pretended to be surprised:

"But I heard that in your Dalton Chamber of Commerce, one person cannot serve as the president of two branches at the same time. So now..."

Carlton took over the conversation: "For the time being, I am still the president of the Twilight City branch, but the higher-ups are preparing to appoint a new president. As long as things here can be finalized, someone will come to Twilight City to take over my position soon."

"I see." Lei Te nodded and thought about it deliberately.

After a moment, he took the initiative to speak, showing his enthusiasm:

“Dark Eagle City is an emerging city, full of vitality and unlimited potential!

Every dedicated participant is welcome here.

President Carlton, your abilities are obvious to all. I am happy to see that you can establish a branch here and realize your ambitions.

I think that our favorable tax rate combined with your talent will make the Dawton Chamber of Commerce a well-known brand here in the future."

Carlton felt relieved, and the smile on his face became even wider: "Thank you so much, Earl Leiter. I feel relieved with your words. Please believe in the financial strength of our Dalton Chamber of Commerce. We will never let you down."

Leiter also laughed. The arrival of the Dalton Chamber of Commerce would definitely be a positive help to the development of Dark Eagle City. Taxation was one aspect, but the rich heritage and abundant commodities that could attract extraordinary people were also a part that could not be ignored.

"Dark Eagle City is currently constructing a supernatural district. The most prosperous and spacious streets in the plan have been completed. Can I take you to see it?"

"Thank you." Carlton's eyes lit up.

The construction of the extraordinary area is more magnificent than that of the commercial area. Not only are the buildings more imposing, but the streets are also wider. Some places even use not only ordinary stones, but also special minerals.

The street lights use light element devices, which provide stronger lighting at night.

The floor is also mixed with fire ore to prevent the temperature near the ground from being too cold in winter.

Carlton had been thinking all the way here. Originally, he was considering whether the Chamber of Commerce should be set up in the Extraordinary District or in a commercial district that was built earlier and had already gathered a lot of people.

After observing the situation now, he has decided to set up a branch in the Extraordinary District! There are also many civilians in the commercial district. He does not focus on the small things in the hands of the civilians. Only by taking the high-end route can it be in the interests of their Dalton Chamber of Commerce.

The scale and environment of this extraordinary area are obviously of a higher level. Judging from his vision, it will definitely become the central area of ​​Dark Eagle City in the future.

After finalizing the plan, Carlton demonstrated his decisiveness and generosity as president.

Not only did he adjust the location that day and send people to start renovations, but he himself temporarily stayed in a hostel in the city.

After finishing, Rhett did not leave in a hurry, but followed Carlton to the hostel.

A butler came in, carefully poured red wine for the two of them, and left quietly.

Under Carlton's surprised gaze, Rhett took out a notebook of moderate thickness from an off-white handbag he carried with him, placed it on the smooth table, and pushed it in front of Carlton with one hand.

Lei Te's mouth curled up: "President Carlton, open it and take a look."

Without even taking a sip of red wine, Carlton suppressed his doubts, glanced at Rhett, and then shifted his gaze to the notebook in front of him.

When I looked at the first page, a flash of realization crossed my eyes. It turned out to be a novel. Judging from the handwriting and the form of the notebook, it was undoubtedly handwritten.

Their Dalton Chamber of Commerce has a wide range of businesses, with strong capital and connections. A bookstore that only sells ordinary books has little room for survival and is far from being able to grow to a large scale.

The pages of the book were turning with a rustling sound.

Carlton muttered, "This is a fantasy novel..."

Looking up, Carlton saw Rhett smiling but not saying anything, so he continued to read.

Ten minutes later.

"How's it going? President Carlton."

Rhett smiled and woke up Carlton who was enjoying the meal.

"Ah?" Carlton's shoulders trembled, and he came to his senses and closed the book.

He had not yet forgotten that he was talking to Count Rhett, not reading in his own study, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

But Carlton still felt unsatisfied and asked excitedly, "Mr. Leiter, where did this novel come from? Was it written by your men?"

Lei Te shook his head and pointed at himself: "I wrote the whole article myself!"

"What?!" Carlton was shocked, blinking, and took a long time to come back to his senses. He never thought that Earl Rhett had this ability. It's not that he didn't know about Rhett's experience in the past. He had almost always stayed in the southwest border, and there was no rumor that he had any outstanding literary skills...

No, it is also possible that the other party does not want to tell the truth, and the work is actually still created by his subordinates or other people.

His eyes sparkled, he coughed lightly, and asked tentatively: "Ahem, Earl Leiter, can you let me talk to that writer? Don't worry... I will never reveal this secret...

You came to me with this book, probably for publishing, right? But this novel doesn't look short, so I need to prepare other preliminary work."

You don't believe what I said? Don't I look like I have any literary temperament... Rhett didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took a sip of red wine, met Carlton's expectant eyes, and said, "I don't have to lie to you. This book was written by me and is called "Panlong".

If you want to know the general plot and some additional questions, I can tell you. "

Carlton blinked and froze in his place.

After Rhett showed the handwriting and the subsequent plot about Panlong was revealed, Carlton looked at Rhett with more surprise.

"You are definitely gifted. Your first work is so wonderful!" Carlton praised sincerely: "It is better than any fantasy novel I have ever seen. It definitely has the potential to become a hit!"

Leiter smiled faintly and said bluntly: "I need it to be released as soon as possible."

"This is easy to do. We can start by selling it at the southwest border. I can make the decision myself. At the same time, I will show it to my superiors, and then sell it to the royal city and all over the country." Carlton's eyes rolled around, "Regarding the issue of profit distribution, as my good friend, I will never let you suffer any loss.

How about a 60/40 split, just like the treatment given to top authors in our chamber of commerce? You get 60, we get 40.”

Fearing that Leiter would disagree, he added: "In addition to being responsible for marketing, publicity, printing and sales, we will also spare no effort to combat piracy. Our chambers of commerce are spread all over the country, so it is not difficult to do this."

Lei Te nodded readily. This profit-sharing method was quite fair. The 90%-100% split or even the love-for-love split in some of the heaven-defying novels in the past were too idealistic...

Carlton was relieved; the profits from a novel were considerable, especially a long and high-quality novel of this quality.

He was in a good mood: "Count Leiter, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”

For some reason, the president of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce arrived two days later than in the simulation.

Leiter even thought that the other party's plan had changed and gave up the plan to move the Chamber of Commerce to Dark Eagle City.

While he was meditating in the castle, it was the housekeeper Sveta who informed him that a beautiful woman came to visit.

The first floor hall of the castle.

Britney, president of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce, sat down a little stiffly. This was her first time visiting the castle of a fifth-level magician, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Rhett looked at the woman across the table with a smile on his lips. Since he and Nicole had a special relationship with the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce in the past, he also had a special liking for it.

"You're welcome. This is the fruit tea made by the castle maid with fresh fruits. Enjoy it slowly."

The fruit tea was just ordinary fruit tea, but Britney quickly said, "Thank you, Earl Rhett, for the treat."

She looked at Leiter with her beautiful eyes. The man in front of her was no longer the low-level magician she had been before. In just a few years, he had become a fifth-level magician who was high above her and she had to look up to him. She had to treat him with caution.

"President Britney, what do you want to talk to me about today?" Rhett had no intention of chatting, so he went straight to the point.

"I have something to discuss with you." Britney smiled, her long purple hair casually draped over her shoulders, and said very politely: "I plan to move the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce to Dark Eagle City. I have already selected a store in Dark Eagle City, and I came here to report to you."

"Oh? It seems that President Britney is well prepared and has done a good job of investigation in advance." Lei Te smiled and said, "In that case, everything can be done according to the formal procedures and processes. The administrative department in Dark Eagle City is responsible for this matter."

"Thank you very much, Earl Rhett." Britney kept smiling and did not make any other requests.

"It's a win-win situation, and I'm optimistic about the development potential of your Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce." Lei Te said politely. But he was a little surprised. Was it worth it for him to come to him alone for such a small matter?

Sure enough, the next moment Britney spoke again:

"I hope Earl Leiter will take good care of me in the future. I remember that you seemed to have a special liking for a fighting spirit ring in our store. This time, I specially brought rings of various colors as gifts for you."

Rhett's heart was slightly touched.

In sight, Britney took out an exquisite gift box and spread it out. There were more than ten kinds of fighting spirit rings in different colors, inserted in small grooves.

The fighting spirit ring is a type of alchemical equipment. When the knight uses his fists or palms to attack with fighting spirit, or uses fighting skills, it can trigger fighting spirit resonance and slightly increase the power.

Although the effect is good, it is not very practical because knights are more likely to choose long-handled weapons and shields, which have a longer attack range and more sophisticated moves, as well as the same effect of increasing destructive power.

Staring at the rings, Leiter was a little moved, unable to say no, he smiled faintly and said, "President Britney, this gift is very good, I accept it.

I hope the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce’s business will continue to prosper.”

Seeing that Rhett was willing to accept the gift, Britney's eyes lit up and she quickly thanked him.

She did not seek any huge rewards, on the contrary, she was very content. Being able to have a relationship with the lord would undoubtedly be very beneficial to her future development in Dark Eagle City.
