The Defeated Dragon

The dinner was not solemn, as the Count called officials from Coral Island, and Reeves called some of his men over to chat.

After the dinner, Lester found a chance to go into his study with Reeves.

“Brother, how well do you taste white wine?” Lister took a bottle of primitive flower brewing from the butler's hand, unscrewed the cap, poured a glass and pushed it in front of Reeves, "taste this white wine and give me a review. ”

“I'm very good at judging drinks, well, what kind of white wine is this, where did you get it?” He picked up the cup and asked, "It tastes bad, smells bad, looks like bad white wine. The liquor I drank during the Battle of Eagle Kingdom tastes better than this! ”

When he finished, he put the glass on his lips and put it on a little bit: "It's sour, it doesn't have the strength, it's really bad quality. ”

Put the cup down, he didn't say anything anymore, the meaning was self-evident.

Lester looked the same and continued to ask, "Brother, how much do you think you can sell for this white wine? ”

“How much a bottle?” Livius squinted his eyes, "Lester, don't tell me this white wine was made in Flower Town? ”

“As you said, this is the homemade white wine, flower brewing that I'm working on. I just haven't made it yet, and the quality of the white wine I get is low, but anyway, I've studied the white wine making technique, haven't I? ”

Hear this.

Livius had his eyes lit and could not wait to say, “What? Have you developed white-wine brewing techniques? Jesus Christ, Lester, don't lie to me, okay? Do you know how valuable white wine making technology is? The Grand Duchy has only five varieties of white wine, three in the hands of the Marquis and two in the hands of the Grand Duke. ”

The Earl credited Reeves, who had been on the battlefield, with maturity.

But at this moment, Livius is still that Livius, and his manic eyes are all red: “Grandpa doesn't even know how to make white wine! ”

“Don't be too surprised, brother, it's just the liquor business. The liquor business is nothing compared to magic. ”

“Nothing!” Livius has a heavy breath, "the potion is of course precious, but barely enough for himself. Tulip Chamberlain's potion, my father needs it, I need it, maybe Lipton will have to split up some of it in the future, and Levera, she will definitely take some away from me! ”

With the magical power of the Tulip Elf, Black Tulip produces a lot of magic, but many expect it.

The black tulip business was signed by three brothers and sisters.

But once the power of the Great Elf is taken up, the share to be paid to the Count is no less than a tiny bit, and at best Levi's will eat all the gains.

He said, jealously, “I'm not as lucky as you, I'm an intermediate warcraft, black tulip, flaming mushrooms, and magic thorns are all yours! ”

“Looks like you can't make much money from the potion, brother. ”

“Of course you can't earn one, you can't earn one, my other business money is on the potion, you know every time I take a bottle of potion, it hurts meat for half a day... you're not an elite earth knight, you can't experience the pain and happiness of an elite earth knight.” His expression, it's all twisted.

“So my brother is short of money. ”

“Knowingly. ”

“What if I wanted to share the liquor business with my brother?” Lester throws the ready bait straight out - really lazy to continue acting.

Livius' exaggerated expression and tone is simply an exaggerated performance, not at all distracting. He probably guessed something from Lester when he gave him a taste of white wine - Livius was never a fool and had been promoted to Earth Knight as a teenager, called a genius.

If you're an outsider, Lester might want to lie to you.

Since he's a brother, why don't you just get it straight?

Sure enough, when Lister said it, Livius immediately put away the exaggeration and replaced it with an urgent enthusiasm: "What, Lester, you mean to share the white-wine brewing technique with your brother? ”

“White winemaking techniques are precious, my brother has told me. Before I split up, it doesn't matter who has it in their hands. If one day I split up, I'll give you the white-wine making technology first. My idea is, I'll make wine, you sell, we split the profit..."

a haggle over price.

The brothers have basically defined the modalities of cooperation.

Livius provides protection for the liquor business, provides the raw materials needed to make the wine, and sells it externally, accounting for 60% of the profits; Lister makes the liquor, accounting for 40% of the profits - 46% of the profits, Lister is basically satisfied, and the channeller eats the bulk of the wine normally, not to mention provides protection.

If one day the two brothers really split up.

Collaboration aborted, technology sharing.

“White winemaking technology is still in the process of being improved, and it will take some time to really produce qualified white wines. Most importantly, a batch of iron is urgently needed for winemaking equipment, but Flower Town is extremely short of iron, and I hope you can help me with that. ”

“Did you see the trophy this time?” Livius touched his chin and knew that it was essential to get the white wine business. “Iron has always been the most spoils of war. This time, I didn't bring back too much iron ore. I don't have much... 3,000 kilograms of iron ingots, I can't take out any more. ”

“Three kilos, almost there. ”

“Don't worry, these three kilos are enough to make Viscount Trick and Viscount Jonas look red. By the way, I forgot to ask you, how did the magic flame mushroom in Flower Town stop? ”

Lester shrugged for a moment and replied, “I want to stockpile the potion. ”

“Ah?”

“Don't be surprised, brother, I'm not as gifted as you, but with Tila, I don't want to go any further. Even if it fails, it has to be tried before it is willing.” Lester said half true and half false, and no one knew that he was already an elite earth knight.

“What about the black tulip and the magic thorn? ”

“As usual, the black tulip is still for you, and I intend to stockpile the magic thorns. ”

“It's too bad... it's hard for me to talk you out of trying, like Levera, and I can't stop her. But I still want you to think about it and come back to me if you change your mind. As a brother, you have to believe that I can take advantage of anyone, but not you. ”

“Of course, I believe in it more than anything else. ”

Then, they talked about the slave trade, and with the white wine business mat, nobody was too much to compare, and quickly reached a deal to buy 2500 serfs for 500 gold coins.

“I'll give you the gold coins later. ”

“Just drop it off before the fleet leaves.” Reeves didn't ask Lester where he got so many gold coins that he couldn't understand his brother any more.

Understanding and cowardice no longer appear, but are replaced by ingenuity and generosity.

When Lister left, he couldn't help but think: “Lister is an adult, and Flower Town is gradually unable to trap his ambitions, listening to his tone, even the idea of splitting houses has arisen… can confidence reach the height of his father? ”
