This incident had a big impact on Brandy, but he also realized that he had lost some control.
Today he came to discuss another business with Liu Xiao, and he had to get away from this influence as soon as possible.
Brandy looked around, looking for some other topic to divert her attention.
At this moment, he suddenly saw something like thorns wrapped around the wall of Liu Xiao's camp.
"Huh? Boss Liu, what are those? Why have you never seen them before?"
Liu Xiao explained casually: "Those are barbed wire fences, used to prevent enemies from climbing or evil beasts from attacking the camp. I will also put some on the outer walls later to prepare for the tide of Red Moon Beasts.
"
"Barbed wire? Something I've never seen before..."
Liu Xiao had no intention of explaining too much and asked instead: "Old Bai, you brought so many things here today, do you have other things to say?"
Brandy straightened her collar and hat, bowed slightly and said: "Dear Boss Liu, this time I came with the order of His Majesty the King. Because some food was recently found in King of Orange, I am quietly
They are very popular among the nobles, they are quite expensive and their taste is very special, so..."
"food?"
Liu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered what Cota had mentioned to him, saying that some employees secretly hid the rewards issued by the chamber of commerce and sold them in the market.
Liu Xiao didn't pay much attention to it at first, but now it seems it's time to standardize the system.
"Please come in, Lao Bai, sit down and talk. Rosa~ brew some of the tea I brought with you in boiling water and let our friends have a taste~"
Rosa agreed and ran to the warehouse to get the tea like a cheerful antelope.
Brandy followed Liu Xiao into the large wooden house where he entertained guests, sat on a wooden chair, then took off his hat and said: "Boss Liu, what is tea? Is it a new drink?"
"Oh~ Tea~ is a very common drink in my hometown~ It shouldn't be available in Oden Continent yet? I'm asking Ms. Diana to try to cultivate some. If it works, we can allocate a place here for planting.
"
"Oh? Boss Liu, there is something I don't know whether to ask or not..."
Liu Xiao rolled his eyes in his heart and said, "Generally, people who say this are best not to speak!"
Although he was complaining in his heart, he still said calmly on the surface: "If you have anything to say, Lao Bai, just ask~! There is no need to mince words about our relationship~"
"That's right, Boss Liu's hometown... can you tell me next time? The items you circulate there are so magical and rare~! Is that the kingdom of God?"
Liu Xiao showed an expression like a magician, crossed his hands and caressed his chest, and whispered "Praise my Lord" in a low voice.
"Old Bai, you guessed it right~ That is the kingdom of God~! All the people living there are the envoys of God! Only the most devout believers and favored ones of the Creator can enter that kingdom after death~! Old Bai, you
Do you also want to see something?"
Brandy's expression froze. He didn't expect that the so-called "hometown" Liu Xiao said could only be reached after death? And it was also the kingdom of God?
This... I am a person of faith, and I am in a high position. Once I change my faith, it will involve big or small things! It will even affect the conflict between the Orange monarchy and theocratic authority!
Brandy thought for a while, then showed an awkward smile and said: "Oh~ It's so desirable~! But unfortunately, most of us in the Kingdom of Orange believe in the Mother of the Moon~!
Knights and fighters only respect Theokus, the god of war. Magicians all believe in Merlin, the god of magic. Elves respect Fithrogg, the eternal king of elements. Dwarves believe in Leox, the god of forging.
Others, such as the plains people and the mountain people, have different beliefs and have a long history. It is really not easy for Boss Liu to convert the residents of the cursed land to believe in the Creator!"
Liu Xiao raised his eyebrows and silently remembered these gods in his mind.
The root of the cursed land is the lack of faith. Since arriving here, he has never seen any resident pray to a certain god.
Of course, maybe they did that at first, but this place has long been abandoned by God and cannot get any response. The indigenous people have long been discouraged.
The most important thing is that it brings real benefits! This makes the residents of the cursed land quickly fall into the arms of the Creator.
"Let's not talk about this, Old Bai. You just said that some delicious food has been spread to the Royal Capital of Orange. Can you tell me what they are?"
Brandy straightened her posture, her brain was working rapidly, and she said, "I wonder if Boss Liu has a dessert called chocolate? In addition, I have seen ham sausage, instant noodles, biscuits, crispy rice, and something called pickled mustard.
They are all highly respected among the royal family and nobles~! Just like chocolate, a piece less than the size of a palm is worth the reward of an average farmer for a year of hard work!"
"What? My good employees..."
Liu Xiao touched his head and thought to himself, are these things so valuable? It seems that all materials brought from the earth must be classified as strategic materials for unified control!
Previously, the frequency of giving out rewards to everyone was somewhat high, and some employees with certain business acumen were allowed to save the rewards and exchange them for gold coins.
But Liu Xiao can't blame everyone for this incident. This can be regarded as a small loophole.
"So Lao Bai, do you want to buy some chocolates this time? And snacks like crispy rice?"
Brandy smiled and said: "That's right~ There is no reason for such a good business to allow those speculators to make a lot of money~! Those nobles have nothing to do all day long, and they have also accumulated a lot of money and wealth by relying on their ancestral properties and fields.
Before, they had no place to spend money, but now the appearance of Boss Liu has given them many targets and channels for squandering! How about we join forces and plunder all the wealth from these moths~!"
Liu Xiao's eyes lit up, and he and Brandi smiled in unison.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Rosa was holding a dinner plate with two transparent glasses on it. In the glasses was Longjing tea brewed with freshly boiled river water.
Liu Xiao placed a cup of tea in front of Brandy and said: "Lao Bai, this is one kind of tea, called Longjing~! We usually drink tea in three steps. First, look at the color, and appreciate the tea leaves rising and falling in the water.
The beautiful scenery inside~!
Next, smell the taste, take a gentle sip, and let the elegant and fragrant smell penetrate into the nasal cavity and go straight to the brain~! Finally, take a shallow sip, let the tea soup roll on the tongue, and then swallow it bit by bit.
That taste... is worth experiencing again and again~! Don’t forget to take a long breath after finishing the drink~ah~~~~~!”
Liu Xiao said as he picked up his cup of tea, first looked at the tea soup, then smelled the smell, and finally took a sip, exhaling an exaggerated "ha", and then smashed his mouth, spitting out some tea foam that was not there.
.The posture is like that of a retired veteran cadre.
Brandy looked at Liu Xiao's movements and began to imitate them.
And the moment the fragrant and slightly bitter liquid entered his mouth, Brandy suddenly lost her composure!
He felt that his spirit suddenly became clear! His brain was relaxed like never before! Some things he had forgotten before were recalled again! The magic power reserve that had not been very good had been dormant for many years, but at this moment it boiled up again ~ excited ~!
What does this feel like? It's as if the elf magician has cast the "Cure of the Clear Spring" on you!
"Boss Liu! This drink called tea... I want to buy it!"
