Roger was greatly surprised and asked quickly: "Do you think you can't handle the king?"
"It's not His Majesty's problem." Anna shook her head and said, "There are many people who will object to him rewarding you well."
"Why is this?"
"Because..." Anna was hesitant to say this, but she quickly made up her mind: "Because you are the person that Rosberg and I report to the king, and... you were with Massa when we were at Linton Pass.
They teamed up to deal with Wade, who is from the military department. And the Minister of Military Affairs, Vatel, was originally at odds with my father, so..."
After hearing what Anna said, Roger understood that in the final analysis, this matter was still a factional struggle within the kingdom. After all, he belonged to Anna and Rosberg, and he was naturally considered to be Hamilton's person. Now the king wanted to reward Roger greatly, and
The Minister of Military Affairs and others who had different political views with the Duke would naturally strongly oppose it.
"I understand what you mean." Thinking of this, Roger smiled faintly at Anna and said, "This is dirty politics."
Anna originally thought that Roger would be very unhappy when he knew about this matter, and maybe he would fall out with her immediately. After all, Anna had promised Roger that she would get enough benefits for him, and Roger seemed to be right.
These people who care about him suddenly tell him that his previous promise may not be fulfilled, which will inevitably make Roger very dissatisfied. So now I see Roger looking calm and relaxed, and even saying the meaning of "dirty politics"
Such profound words made Anna's impression of him much better.
Although Roger didn't seem to care much about this matter, Anna felt even more apologetic. She didn't dare to be alone with Roger anymore, and said to him as she walked out: "Don't worry, I will try my best to fight for you no matter what."
You deserve something."
"Anna..." When Anna walked to the door, Roger stopped her loudly.
Roger's voice sounded very disappointed, which made the Duke's daughter feel weak. She couldn't help but stop and turned around and asked, "Is something wrong?"
In the room, Roger looked at Anna pitifully, with a look of grief on his face: "You must talk to the king tomorrow. The happiness of my lower body depends entirely on you!"
Roger's words made Anna turn around and leave without saying a word. It wasn't until she left his room that she secretly sighed in her heart: "I thought he had made progress for a while, but it turns out he is still a money addict!"
Anna went to the palace early the next morning. Roger stopped the Duke's daughter before she left the palace and insisted that Anna take more guards.
Of course Roger did this because he was worried about the undead creatures that had sneaked into human society. Anna had little ability to defend herself and was in a high position, so she was probably one of the best targets for the undead creatures, so Roger insisted on her doing this.
Anna knew that Roger did this because he cared about her, and she was secretly happy and followed his advice. Anna left the Duke's Palace with three times more guards than usual, and Roger relaxed and had something to eat.
Then he took a servant to lead the way to the market in Mandos City.
After a night of fermentation, the news that Roger hugged Anna last night but was not punished has spread throughout the Duke's Palace. Now even a fool knows that Mr. Li's position in the young lady's mind is absolutely extraordinary, so the servant
Roger was very respectful and specially prepared a carriage to take him to the market in the east of the city.
As the capital of the kingdom, Mandos City has an astonishing scale of the market in the east of the city. The goods traded here are naturally dazzling and dazzling. You can buy goods from almost all over the Doom continent here, even those from overseas.
Goods on the island can often be seen. If you can afford the price, even slaves from intelligent races such as elves and dwarves can be bought here. As for the livestock, the materials on the monsters, and magic crystals are even rare.
Magic props and various potions can also be purchased here.
Roger came here today mainly because he wanted to buy some iron-hoofed rhinoceros skins so that he could build a basic armor factory as soon as possible. This kind of material obtained from black iron-level monsters is not uncommon. There are several merchants in the market selling iron-hoofed rhinoceros skins.
However, Roger was shocked when he stepped forward to ask the price.
Each piece of iron-hoofed rhinoceros skin was sold for more than fifty gold coins. The price was far beyond Roger's expectation. The materials on a black iron beast like his were not worth that much money at all, so a piece of ten gold coins was enough.
It was overwhelming. Unexpectedly, this was not the case at all. It also made Roger realize that the nearly a thousand gold coins in his pocket were quite a lot, but in fact they were not enough. It might be okay to be a rich man in the countryside with such a small amount of money.
But it is far from enough to truly live a comfortable and luxurious life.
"I have to find a way to make money!" Looking at the price tag of the rhinoceros hide, Roger had the idea of making a lot of money for the first time since he came to this world.
The servant who accompanied Roger to the market saw him staring at the rhinoceros skin and immediately guessed that he must be short of money. He quickly said to Roger in a flattering manner: "Mr. Li, I remember that there are some rhinoceros skins in the cellar of the Duke's Palace. Can you please
If necessary, we can just go back and get it."
If it were a few days ago, Roger would definitely agree to the servant's suggestion. After all, the Duke is a wealthy family, and his advantage will not be taken advantage of in vain. However, since those close contacts with Anna last night, Roger's mentality has become somewhat
Changed. He felt that no matter how useless a man was, he should not be supported by his own woman. Things from the Duke's Palace were absolutely not allowed to be taken.
So the servant's words helped Roger make up his mind, and he quickly bought six pieces of high-quality iron-hoofed rhinoceros hides. Although he spent hundreds of gold coins for this, which made Roger feel a little distressed, after all, he saved the man's face, so he still
Very worth it.
Having spent 30% of his wealth just to buy such a few things, Roger gave up the idea of continuing to visit the market. The consumption here is too expensive, and he can't even afford good things, so it's better not to waste time.
Roger asked the servant to go back with the purchased goods. At this moment, the castle hub suddenly shouted in his mind: "Stop, the goods sold by the man in the corner, hurry up!"
Roger went to the corner and found a ragged young man standing there with an irregular stone in front of him. Perhaps it had been too long and the stone had lost its original color.
After Roger got closer, he realized that judging from the shape of the stone, it seemed to be part of a human statue.
The statue was broken for some unknown reason. The part covered by this stone should be the base of the statue plus the two legs. Apart from that, Roger didn’t produce anything else.
On the other hand, the castle boss seemed very excited and immediately said loudly to Roger: "Ask how much this thing costs!"
