Two hours later, Sir Maxim appeared in the government study again, looking refreshed, and the gloomy feeling between his brows had completely dissipated.

Rosen poured him a glass of Frostfire Wine and asked, "Would you like to try the local specialty wine?"

"Thank you very much."

Maxim took a big sip, sighed with satisfaction, and then said: "The girls like it very much, and even worship me for it."

This feeling was so wonderful, even better than being a king! And the subsequent exhilaration of the eagle flying across the sky made him even more intoxicated.

Maxim was deeply grateful to Rosen for bringing him all this, and even felt that the other party was closer to him than his parents.

After all, the body given by his parents made him experience years of pain, but this baron gave him a wonderful new life!

Maxim drank the Frostfire Liquor sip by sip, his mind recalling the intense passion just now, and he drank the liquor up without realizing it.

He looked at Rosen eagerly.

"Baron, 80% of the supplies shipped this time are actually mine. I originally planned to make some money while the new route is open, but now, I have decided to give them all to the Baron as my transformation fee for this life."

Rosen was slightly shocked when he heard this: "As expected of a son of the famous Levender family, he is so arrogant!"

According to his estimation, the total value of this batch of goods is more than 200,000 Oggs, and 80% of it is 160,000 Oggs. Even if he transforms once a year until he is 50 years old, the cost of each transformation will be more than 5,000 Oggs.

Moreover, 30 years of service, paid in one lump sum, shows great sincerity.

Do you want to agree?

Of course I can't agree to that.

Because Maxim is in high spirits right now, he said something too confident and will definitely regret it later.

If you want to conduct long-term trade, both parties must feel that there is profit to be made, and not just think about making small profits.

So, he said righteously: "The Sir is really generous, but I cannot abandon the principle of honest transaction just because of the Sir's generosity."

"Ah?" Maxim was stunned, not quite understanding.

Rosen explained seriously: "I cast 'Fine Transfiguration' on the Jazz. According to my own pricing, it's 2,000 Oggs per cast."

"Considering that a man's desire generally lasts until he is 60 and then completely subsides, if it is once a year, the Count would need 35 times."

"If you calculate it this way, even if the Jazz buys out the lifetime transformation service, the total price is only 70,000 Oggs. So, the Jazz gave too much."

Maxim had just acted on impulse after drinking some strong liquor, but now he was regretting it a little, because the money was really huge and it was not something he could decide on his own.

Hearing Rosen say this, he secretly felt lucky and hurried down the stairs: "So that's how it is. Then let's do as the Baron said, 70,000 Ogg."

After saying this, I felt very ashamed. I admired the other person's noble character, but also felt a little sorry for him. I secretly thought: "I have to make up for it in other ways."

So he collected his thoughts and started talking about business seriously.

"Baron, I shipped the goods to your island this time. I originally planned to go to Shire County to purchase more goods after unloading the goods."

"But I found a good thing here. It looks like a square black box. People call it the Lightning Messenger."

"I also learned about it and found that this thing is very good, much better than the current common telepathic communication."

“I want to ask, is this for sale?”

Rosen was waiting for these words, because ever since Maxim landed on the island, he had been paying attention to his every move through the "Detection Guard", and he had a pretty good idea of ​​what he was thinking.

At the same time, he also made corresponding preparations.

He looked embarrassed and said, "This is my latest lightning communication device. It is one of the few good things on my island. I really don't want to sell it."

After he finished speaking, seeing Maxim's disappointment, he looked reluctant, gritted his teeth, and seemed to have made a difficult decision.

"If the lord really wants it, I can certainly sell it to you, but I have spent a lot of energy and money to develop this magic weapon."

"So, we only sell finished products, not refining books. A Lightning Messenger costs 1,000 Oggs. We need to buy at least 2 at a time. No, just 100."

The lightning communication device he was currently using had its performance carefully castrated by him.

The reliable communication distance is only fifty kilometers. It does not contain batteries, but instead uses the most common lightning crystals. It also has no sunlight charging capability and must be charged by a mage when in use.

The performance is better than telepathy, but not much better, and it is not a huge leap forward.

It is also predictable that the other party will definitely think about cracking it after buying it, but Rosen is not afraid of cracking it at all.

Because he installed a very simple and crude magic lock on the core component of the magic weapon. There is no other way to crack it except using the super computing power of the transistor era.

Such a magic weapon costs about 80 Oggs, and he made a lot of money by selling it for 1,000 Oggs.

Maxim naturally didn't know the inside story.

Seeing Rosen's distressed look, he thought for a moment that he understood what he was thinking.

"I think they think I will find someone to crack it when I get back, and they don't have the confidence to prevent it from being cracked, so they only plan to do a one-time deal with me."

Of course, if it were someone else, he would definitely try his best to get the other party's refining book, but this baron couldn't do that. His happiness for the rest of his life still depended on the other party's help.

After thinking about it, he simply nodded and agreed: "100 sets are too few, I will order 200 sets."

It wasn't that he was being recklessly generous, but he had observed carefully and found that the Lightning Messenger was indeed a rare and valuable item and would definitely be easy to sell.

He bought 200 sets and returned to Levender, then sold them to various magic academies and magic towers for lightning mage research. Not only would he not lose money, he might even be able to make back the money he spent on transfiguration.

200 units means 200,000 Ogers, plus the 70,000 Ogers that were transformed before, which is 270,000 Ogers. After deducting the 170,000 in supplies, the Baron still owes 100,000 Ogers.

Maxim naturally brought cash with him, and he had no intention of using any tricks on Rosen. After the deal was made, he said to his attendant Ade, "Pay."

Ade readily took out a stack of bearer bank drafts from Dawn Bank, 50 in total, each with a face value of 2,000 Ogg.

Maxim was startled: "What? You don't accept deposit tickets?"

Rosen said nothing, took a bank check from Ade's hand, and carefully felt the special magic seal on the check.

This spell seal is essentially a high-level constant spell lock with four rings. The spell lock encryption method uses password encryption. The password is digital and has a length of 28 bits.

Now, in this day and age, this type of password encryption is secure enough that no one can crack it.

The constant strength of the fourth ring also ensures that the spell lock will remain effective for at least 30 years, which is enough for bank deposits.

But for some reason, the batch of deposit checks in front of him made Rosen feel something was wrong, as if they were a little different from the Chenxi Bank deposit checks he had seen before.

He asked, "Sir, where did you get these deposit slips?"

At present, there were only him, Maxim and Ade in the study, so he asked directly.

Maxim was startled, but answered truthfully: "For this transaction, I urgently exchanged it from a private bank in Levender. After all, this thing is light to carry."

As he spoke, Rosen kept looking down at the deposit ticket in his hand and did not look at Maxim.

This was to let his guard down.

In fact, he was carefully observing the micro-expressions on Maxim and Ade's faces through the perspective of "Detective Guard".

Observations showed that Maxim was not lying.

And there was really no need for him to lie to himself. 100,000 Ogers was not a particularly large amount for him, and he still had something to ask of him.

But a hint of doubt flashed across the servant Ade's eyes, as if he recalled something unusual.

He didn't hide it and said it directly.

"Master, I got these deposit slips from the Oler Family Bank. When I exchanged them, he asked me what the deposit slips were for."

"Of course I didn't tell him, but in the middle of the exchange, a bank manager suddenly showed up and brought a batch of New Dawn deposit notes."

"The teller then gave me this batch of new deposit tickets."

"Master, you know this is a normal operation in a bank. I checked and confirmed that there was no problem with the deposit, so I took it back."

While Ade was explaining, Maxim also took a deposit slip and examined it carefully.

But he didn't find any problem, and didn't think it was a problem: "This is exactly the same as the Chenxi deposit slip I used in the past, and there is no possibility of disguise for bank deposit slips."

"Let's not talk about the magic lock on the magic seal. This is also a mother-and-child bill. Even if someone is really capable of forging a child bill in circulation, it cannot be matched with the mother bill in the bank.

Rosen smiled and nodded. "What the lord said makes sense. I have no doubt about the authenticity of this batch of bills. I just want to know the details of the bill trade between our two countries."

"Because I thought the knight would pay Levender's gold Silah."

He said it so naturally that Maxim had no doubts.

He smiled and took out a few exquisite gold coins from his pocket: "I did bring some gold sheila, would you like to take it as a souvenir, sir?"

Rosen nodded with interest: "Thank you very much. Your country's gold coin casting skills are very superb, and the gold coins are extremely beautiful. I have always liked them very much. Unfortunately, our two countries are too far apart, so it is rare to see them on weekdays."

He took the gold coin and examined it carefully.

The Gold Silah has a gold content of 99.9% and a single coin weighs 8.9 grams of gold. It is a little lighter than the 10-gram Gold Ogg, but it is indeed much more exquisite than the Gold Ogg.

Next, Rosen simply took the 50 Chenxi Bank deposit certificates with a face value of 2,000 that Ade handed over.

The deal was done, but Maxim was in no hurry to leave.

He smiled and said, "Baron, I see you are short of people on your island. Do you want me to get you some?"

Rosen's mind was moved: "What, Jazz has a way?"

Nowadays, every lord regards his subjects as sheep in his own sheepfold, watching them closely and not allowing them to leave easily.

But he really needs people, because the current number of his subjects is too small, far from enough to accomplish big things.

In order to realize his plan, at least 150,000 people are needed, and there must be more mages.

Maxim nodded. "There was a rare flood in the Principality of Bosilia next to Levender. There were countless refugees after the disaster, and the order in the disaster area almost completely collapsed. If the Baron wants it, I will find a way to transport it to you."

"Of course, the price will be higher because the new route bonus is gone, but for an ordinary young and healthy man or woman under 30 years old, it will not cost more than 50 Ogg."

"Of course, those with special talents are counted separately."

Human trafficking is actually a rather troublesome matter, but Maxim feels guilty about it and also sees Rosen's ambition, so he plans to help him.

It's an investment in the future.

Rosen nodded without hesitation: "Yes, just ship it over. I'll take as many as you can."

So the two began to discuss the details carefully.

After confirming the complete details of the next transaction, the two of them carried out the handover of the 'Lightning Messenger'.

After confirming that there was no problem with the goods, Maxim left the White Sturgeon Island without stopping for a moment.

After he left, Rosen took out the 50 bank deposit checks he had received earlier and checked them one by one.

His expression became more and more solemn, and then he stood up and sent the batch of deposit tickets to the magic laboratory and handed them over to his real body for more in-depth inspection.

I was delayed by some things today, so the third update will be a little late.
