Donica City, in the reception hall of the city lord's palace.
"Elder Berg, welcome to Donica City." With a smile on his face, Nice introduced more than a dozen men in fancy clothes into the hall.
This group of people were uniformly dressed in standard martial arts attire. They were much taller than ordinary people, and they exuded a sharp aura in their actions. It was obvious that they were all star-level masters who had received strict training.
Walking in front of this group of people was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a luxurious yellow cedar, and walking with a sense of majesty that only people who have been in high positions for a long time can possess.
temperament.
If Yi Yun were here, he would definitely recognize him immediately: this person is his second uncle, the elder of the Lanwei family - Berg Lanweil.
"Lord of the City of Nice, along the way, I have discovered that under your leadership, the bustling and lively atmosphere of Donika City is comparable to that of Qiwu City, the capital of the empire. This shows that the city lord is a first-rate manager and is very popular among the people!
"Begfu sat in the guest seat and praised Nice politely.
"Hahaha, I just did my duty. These are nothing, but they are outstanding people in the Lanville family. The reputation of Elder Berg has always been well known. Nice has been fascinated by it for a long time. Today, he can finally get his long-cherished wish.
I wish I could meet you." Even though he knew that Berg's words were just polite words, he still heard them very usefully.
After exchanging compliments, Nice asked straight to the point: "I wonder if there is anything important for Elder Berg to pay a special visit to our city this time?"
Berg nodded and went directly to the topic: "I am here on behalf of my Lanville family this time. Over the past year, top-quality weapons have been sold from Donica City. After our investigation, we found that these weapons
They are all provided by the city lord personally, so I would like to discuss whether there is any possibility of cooperation between you and me."
Nice's expression froze, and after thinking for a moment, he asked again: "What kind of cooperation method is it?"
Seeing that he did not refuse immediately, Berg felt happy and immediately said: "First of all, I hope that the city lord can give priority to selling these weapons to my Lanville family in the future. We will buy them at twice the market price. Secondly, I hope that the city lord can
Can I introduce you to a master who can refine such an excellent weapon?"
As soon as Nice heard Berg's conditions, he immediately shook his head and said without even thinking about it: "This is very difficult!"
Berg was stunned! His two cooperation conditions were logical and not too excessive. He thought that Nice would just raise the price at most, or add a few more beneficial requirements to him and he would happily agree.
I didn't expect him to refuse so simply.
"City Lord, if you feel that these conditions are not enough, we can still..."
"That's not the problem!" Niss interrupted what Berg was going to say next, and said with a bit of embarrassment: "I only have fifty of these weapons every month, and forty of them have already been used.
All the other aristocratic families have ordered. For the sake of Elder Berg, I can provide the remaining five to your Blueville family every month, and only charge the normal selling price. This is what I want.
It can express the greatest goodwill.”
The aristocratic families that Nice mentioned refer to the aristocratic families in major cities within a thousand miles of Donica City. Although these families individually are still far inferior to the status of the Lanville family in the empire, if they are combined together
, is also a powerful political force that cannot be ignored.
Berg pondered for a while, and after a while, he said with a negotiating tone: "I understand the position of the city lord very well, so I will take a step back and hope to sell all the remaining ten weapons to my family. We are willing to pay the market price."
Triple acquisition, and it can also be regarded as a piece of friendship from my Lanville family to you."
How much is a friendship worth?
The Lanwell family is one of the four major families in the Qiwu Empire. Politically speaking, it can be said that as long as you stamp your foot, the entire empire will be shaken.
In terms of military affairs, this family holds the military power of the Thunder Tiger Legion, the elite division of the Qiwu Empire, which can determine the direction of the empire's future military use. And the old patriarch of the family, Bernardon, is even more important to the emperor.
*Fang's invincible military god, a strong man who earned the title of eight-star general.
Such a family that can control the two major powers of the empire, the government and the military, can make it owe itself a share of friendship, which is priceless!
With such favorable conditions, Nice still shook his head and said: "I hope Elder Berg can understand the difficulties of being a city lord... Starting from a year ago, I will put these ten top-quality weapons on the market.
It was put up for public auction, so it always attracts many business groups and mercenaries to this city every month. Therefore, the current Donica City has the bustle and prosperity in the eyes of the elders. I will hand over half of it now.
Giving it to the Lanville family has already had a great impact on the gathering of popularity in the future."
Regarding the future economic development of Donica City, although Berg's conditions were quite good, Nice could only reluctantly refuse.
Berg was silent after hearing this, knowing that the number could not be increased.
"As for introducing the master to you...it's not that I don't want to, but the master has a very weird temperament. He only sends people to deliver weapons every month. It's not easy for me to even meet him.
I'm not even allowed to mention him to anyone, and of course I can't introduce you to him."
"There is such a master?" Berg was quite surprised.
What people seek is nothing more than fame and fortune. As long as a master of weapons who can refine top-quality weapons is willing to stand up and show his face, countless powerful forces will immediately rush to please him, and he can take whatever fame, fortune and benefits he wants. But this master actually
If he would give up these things not for fame and fortune, then why would he do the menial work of refining weapons? It couldn't be for fun, right?
Seeing the surprised and puzzled look on Berg's face, Nice smiled bitterly in his heart: "If my guess is correct, this so-called master of weapon refining is the abandoned son of your Lanville family...even if
So what if I really tell you the truth, Berg? You may not believe it either!"
"Well, the Lanwell family has already come to visit. Let's find an opportunity to tell Yi Yun. I wonder if he will get to know each other with Beig's bloody relatives?" Niss thought to himself.
"What a pity! It seems that we have no chance to get to know this master... As early as two months ago, the family bought a weapon refined by the master from a mercenary at a high price. It is indeed a rare and rare weapon.
Excellent product! What’s even more strange is that the refining techniques of some weapons give me a very familiar feeling, but they are not completely the same, so I came up with the idea of seeing the master." Berg sighed.
, but it made Nice's heart tremble violently.
Yi Yun has not only made great progress in his skills in recent years, but he has also made great progress in weapon refining under the guidance of Munro. The weapons he now forges have surpassed Pusius and Baddeley in terms of technique.
level, but essentially they all come from the Start lineage, so Berg feels familiar.
Berg just had a feeling of déjà vu. He did not think of his exterminated in-laws, the Start family, and certainly did not think of Yi Yun. In terms of his understanding of the Lanwell family, that
The descendants abandoned by the family are no longer alive.
"Elder Berg, it's rare for you to come to this city. Please stay for a few more days before leaving. I have prepared a private compound for you and your group to rest in." Niss had something on his mind and immediately changed the subject.
.
Berg just thought for a moment, accepted Nice's kindness, nodded and smiled: "That's fine, anyway, I also brought a few young people from the family here this time, and they also want to meet the strong men of your Donica Academy.
If it's good enough, I should stay there for a few more days."
"Oh, the young men of the Lanwell family, they are the future pillars of the empire. Why haven't you come here with the elders now?"
"These young people have no interest in what we are going to talk about, so they went directly to visit Donica College outside the city." Berg said, then seemed to remember something, and asked Nice: "By the way
, can you let me know the name of the master of weapon refining? If you are lucky enough to meet the master in the next few days, you will not lose the due etiquette."
Nice's expression froze, his lips were slightly open, as if hesitating, and after a while he said: "The master's name is Monroe!"
