Cook walked into the castle. Then I was very surprised, because the layout of the whole castle is very simple, there are several oil paintings on the walls, which Cook does not understand, there are a few pots of green plants in the corridor, solid wood stairs, and whitewashed walls, simple and elegant.

"Hehe, don't laugh, this is my study!" The middle-aged man took Cook to a room on the second floor, Cook didn't even see a servant along the way, Cook walked into the room, and found that the study looked quite small, but it was actually quite large, because two huge bookshelves occupied a large position, and there were two sets of strangely shaped plate armor, and there were several oil paintings on the walls of several men dressed as dukes.

"This study has been passed down from my ancestors for more than 570 years, and I spent my childhood here, so I really miss that time. The middle-aged man motioned for Cook to sit down, and then brought a cup of coffee to Cook.

Cook didn't know what to say, so he smiled and nodded, "Thank you!"

"It should be me thank you, Connie has been with me for decades and has only been a few years, I have been stationed in the territory for a long time, Xiao Ni and his wife are in this imperial capital, but Mrs. died subsequently, leaving Xiao Ni alone here, from the day Xiao Ni's mother left, the estrangement between our father and daughter has become deeper and deeper, until she is poisoned, but in the face of this toxin, I can't do anything, and I have to be stationed in the territory ....... The middle-aged man said that he couldn't say it later.

Cook could feel how painful it was for a father to choose between his relatives and the people of his territory, and to put it bluntly, Connie's nature as a hostage in the imperial capital was greater, and Cook said comfortingly: "Isn't this qiē all better!"

"I have to thank you, Cook! For you, we are no strangers to the top of the empire, but some people are happy and some are sad, I sincerely thank you, if it weren't for you, I don't think Xiao Ni would be fine. Connie's father stood up and bowed deeply to Cook, then said.

"I knew there that the third prince was over there, and this was all a misunderstanding. Cook said with a wry smile.

"Hehe, whether it is misunderstanding or not, anyway, some people in the imperial capital are eager to kill you, and some people thank you privately, you don't know, when the news of the death of those nobles came back, the entire imperial capital went crazy, you must know that some of the nobles brought by the third prince at that time were dispatched by the whole family, so how many titles and territories should be vacated, and it is precisely because these nobles compete with each other for interests that the unstable empire in the rear has to withdraw its troops. Prince Red Maple said with a smile.

Cook touched his head and didn't say anything, and then Prince Red Maple said: "But Cook, you still have to be careful, after all, you are now the most wanted criminal in the Empire, but you don't have to worry about me." ”

Cook couldn't help it, and asked with a smile, "His Royal Highness didn't come to me for these things, right?"

"I'm curious, Cook, how did you, as the son of a fisherman, achieve your status in just over a year?" asked Prince Red Maple Leaf after taking a sip of coffee.

"This is actually nothing, there are only two points, one is talent, I have the blood of rabbits, and the awakened talent of beast language is to be able to communicate with all beasts and monsters, and it is verbal. Cook said, sitting up straight.

Prince Red Maple Leaf groaned: "I really haven't heard of this talent. It doesn't feel very good, though. ”

"Hehe, in fact, there is no talent for garbage in this world, the poison that poisoned the three princes was known from Big Mouth, but it is only four kinds of wild fruits, and there will be no problem at all with taking these four wild fruits alone, but once the two wild fruits are mixed, it is highly poisonous, and the transaction with the wurm also relies on this talent, the thieves' union, the assassins' union, and the magicians' union have opened branches in my territory, and it is for this reason that a large number of magic materials are used. Cook explained with a smile.

"Really. It took half a sound for Prince Red Maple to spit out three words.

"There is also the fact that my talent for refining potions is relatively good, and I am not afraid to tell His Excellency Prince Sù that my level in the Magicians' Guild is S-level, and it is because of my talent in refining potions, the pass rate is ten times higher than that of ordinary pharmacists, the yield rate is thirty times higher than that of ordinary pharmacists, and the top-grade rate is fifty times, as for the best and perfect level, this belongs to the secret level. Cook said again.

"Shhh The Red Maple Leaf Prince was stunned, and only gasped after half a sound, as a prince, there are all talents under his hands, and there are pharmacists, of course, the level is not very high, and the pass rate is ten times, this is simply against the sky, as for the top grade, the Red Maple Leaf Prince has seen the top grade a few times, as for the best and perfect, the Red Maple Leaf Prince has never seen it at all, the Red Maple Leaf Prince finally knows why a small second-level hunter will rise so quickly, such a talent against the sky, how can he not get the support of the magician union, can get the support of the continent's largest trade union, it is unreasonable not to rise。

Cook was very satisfied with the reaction of the Red Maple Leaf Prince, what Cook said was that he could inquire about a little ability, especially a person like the Prince, Cook then asked: "Your Royal Highness, I heard that there are sand thieves in the Moragan Desert, I wonder if you can tell me more about it?"

"The Moragan Desert?" the prince's mind didn't turn a corner for a moment, what does this Moragan Desert have to do with you?

"Yes!" Cook nodded, went for a cup of coffee, then put some milk in it, and sat there listening.

"Is there anything you want in the Moragan Desert?" the prince replied, his eyes crooked with a smile on his eyebrows, and he asked with a smile.

"This has something to do with it, if His Royal Highness has detailed information about the Great Desert of Moragan, I will pay His Royal Highness a large sum of money. Cook was very happy to see the prince's reaction, knowing that to collect information about the Moragan Desert, Cook was willing to spend a lot of money.

"What kind of information do you want to be detailed?" Prince Red Maple Leaf was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Cook to directly propose a deal, Prince Red Maple Leaf had never been so passive, and asked half-loudly, this is the anti-guest, and the initiative of the topic is in his hands.

"Hehe, the most detailed, if possible, I will also provide His Royal Highness with a large number of weapons and materials, and I will trouble His Royal Highness when the time comes. "Cook can't look at millions of things at all, but if you want to completely master the Moragan Desert, Prince Red Maple can also help.

"A large batch?" Prince Red Maple was a little moved, but these old guys didn't show it at all, but looked at Cook playfully, wanting to know the specific number.

"Alas, you are really boring, I said a lot, I am now trading with the thieves' union at least 50,000 sets of armor made by dwarves at a time, which is a small amount, if His Royal Highness the Prince can provide an exact map of the area, as well as the location of the sand thieves, and the approximate distribution map of the demonic beasts, I can not only give His Royal Highness a set of chain mail equipment, including weapons, but also connect His Royal Highness with the dwarves, and strive for His Royal Highness to hire hundreds of dwarves. Cook sighed and complained.

The Red Maple Leaf Prince was stunned, because the Red Maple Leaf Prince felt that compared to Cook, it was like Cook was the prince and he was a little baron, but a baron like Cook was probably not available in the entire continent, and the conditions proposed by Cook simply made His Royal Highness the Prince's eyes widen.

Fifty thousand sets of chain mail equipment are still made by dwarves, and their value is almost hundreds of millions, if there are such 50,000 sets of equipment, Prince Red Maple Leaf dares to guarantee that it can sweep the entire empire, just kidding, the fine iron equipment built by the dwarves has ten times the defense power of the current imperial equipment, and the staying power and attack power are twenty times, the same big sword, the dwarves can directly cut off the human creation, as for hundreds of dwarves, this is even more unthinkable for His Royal Highness.

"Why, His Royal Highness the Prince is not satisfied, if His Royal Highness can promise me one thing, then it is not impossible to have a heavy crossbow, but it is best not to exceed 10,000 in this quantity, this thing is very troublesome to build, and the cost is not expensive. Seeing that the Red Maple Leaf Prince was unmoved, Cook scolded secretly, mainly because the detailed information of the Moragan Desert was too important to Cook.

Prince Red Maple Stammered and asked, "Yes, yes, is it a repeating crossbow?"

"It's not a repeating heavy crossbow, the continuous heavy crossbow consumes arrows too quickly, but you can equip a small amount of His Royal Highness's guards, and a continuous heavy crossbow can shoot five arrow magazines in a minute, how much is fifty three-edged arrows, I don't think His Royal Highness the Prince can use it." Cook said with a frown.

"Whoever said that they wanted to use triangular arrows, it is not the same as ordinary bamboo arrows. The Red Maple Leaf Prince replied angrily, the armies he was facing were able to use dozens of silver coins of three-edged arrows, ordinary bamboo arrows, and iron arrows that could be killed without iron arrows.

"Ahem. Ahem, it's better to use an ordinary military heavy crossbow, that thing has a long range and great lethality. Cook said angrily, the cost of an ordinary military heavy crossbow is only one-third of that of a dwarf.

"But what did you just say you wanted me to promise you?" Prince Red Maple Leaf calculated the price of ten thousand dwarve-made heavy crossbows, and then asked calmly.

"I want Connie to be the consul of my realm, military, of course. Cook replied with a smile.

"I disagree!" Connie's voice came from the doorway.

"Isn't your territory Manly the woman now? I don't want to use what others have used!!" Manly said condescendingly, and the Red Maple Leaf Prince was in pain, this is another loss of hundreds of millions of gold coins.

"Not that territory. Cook was in a dilemma, knowing that the purchase of the Moragan Desert and the Ural Marshes must be told to Connie, and if he didn't say it, Cook really couldn't find anyone to be the military commander.

"Do you still have territory?" said Prince Red Maple Leaf in surprise.

"This has to be agreed to by Connie first, otherwise it can't be leaked out. Cook said embarrassedly.

"Hmph! You can ....... Connie snorted coldly.

"Forget it, then!" said Cook, waving his hand.

"Nie, listen first, Cook, we swear we won't divulge what we heard tonight. Prince Red Maple immediately interrupted his daughter's words, you must know that it is a weapon with hundreds of millions of gold coins, Prince Red Maple Leaf is distressed, this has to improve the combat effectiveness.

"Well, since you swear, this is some text, you will understand it when you read it. Cook took out some of the text and handed it to Connie.

"Poof!" Prince Red Maple just read a copy of the text, and immediately squirted out a big mouthful of saliva, and then looked at Cook incredulously: "More than 70 billion gold coins, you, you, you just choose such a broken place?"
