Chapter 91 The Royal Banquet
"Okay, Your Excellency Yifei, thank you for listening to me chattering alone for so long." After half an hour, Federer finally stopped talking.

"It is my honor to listen to His Majesty's teachings!"

"Hehe, you go to rest for a while, and the royal family will hold a banquet later, and you should also participate. Since you are here for trials, it is a good thing to get to know more people!"

"Thank you Your Majesty for the invitation, it's my honor!" After talking for half an hour, Yifei had a better understanding of his fake identity.As for Federer's last invitation, he did not refuse.

After more than an hour, under the guidance of the maid, he came to the place where the banquet was held in the palace.

A very Western-style hall, there are already many people in it, they are all wearing gorgeous dresses, holding a goblet in their hands, chatting together casually; on the other side of the hall, a group of noble ladies are also Chatting; on the other side, a group of gorgeously dressed young men and women were laughing and making noise with each other.

This scene was not much different from the court balls he saw in western movies. He stood outside the gate and watched the scene before him, feeling a little timid in his heart, because he had never attended such a ball before.

But now that he's here, he can't be stage-frightened, otherwise he'll be ridiculed as a country bumpkin. Thinking of this, he walked into the hall with his head held high.

Yifei stepped into the dance hall, scanned around, and found that almost no one responded to him. Those who were talking looked at him casually, and then continued to talk to each other.

Hehe, it seems that I am a little worried, how can there be so many idle and boring people in the world, looking for faults with others all day long.

After Yifei found out that he walked into the ball hall, he was almost out of the crowd, and the person who was looking for trouble did not appear, so he laughed at himself, and when he was about to go to a corner to rest quietly, he A shout was heard.

"Hey, brother Yifei, this way!"

"My lord, why are you here?" Following the source of the voice, Yifei looked up and saw that among the crowd not far away, Locke was waving at him, and he immediately walked up to Locke and asked in confusion .

"Hehe, of course I'm here. Before every knight competition, the royal family will hold a royal ball." Locke said with a smile.

"By the way, why aren't you wearing a dress? How can you invite the beautiful lady with your appearance?" Locke asked Yifei in surprise after explaining a bit.

"Hehe, it's nothing, I think it looks pretty good!" Yifei said hastily.

What a joke, he can't dance, let him dance, it's better to let him step on his feet, he won't do such embarrassing things!
With this set of armor on his body, what a good reason, he couldn't believe that any girl would be willing to dance with a tin can.

"." Locke was speechless for a moment, and could only bring this strange brother to the aristocratic circle he was familiar with, and began to introduce them one by one.

"Brother Yifei, this is Duke Dalton of the Haifeng family. Their family is the largest producer of war horses in the empire!"

"My lord duke, hello!" Yifei smiled and bowed his hands.

"Hello, Your Excellency the Baron, the horses domesticated by your family are really great. Let's talk to each other more when you have time." Looking at Yifei in front of him, Dalton's eyes suddenly glowed golden. Seeing the war horse donated by the Wild Wolf Family in the Violet Family, he couldn't help thinking about the Wild Wolf Family in his heart.

That war horse was so handsome, it could be said to be the best war horse he had ever seen.If the Haifeng family can get the wild wolf family's technology of domesticating war horses, then the Haifeng family's wealth can be multiplied many times.

"Hehe." Hearing Dalton's words, Yifei laughed a few times, but did not answer.

Locke, who was standing on the side, immediately understood what it meant, and hurriedly said: "Master Dalton, we will talk about the horses later, I will take him to meet the servant first!"

"What is there to know, Your Excellency the Baron, as long as we can domesticate a large number of such horses, they will eagerly come to make friends with you." Dalton straightened his face, pushed Locke aside, and took Yifei's hand cordially. said.

"Hehe, your lord is right, but I can't decide this matter!" Hearing what the old man said, Yifei made up a reason, said with a smile, and pulled his hand out.

Although he was very tempted by Dalton's suggestion, he was unable to participate. The horses produced directly from the stables had no technology at all, unless Dalton could have a system, but that was impossible.

"Your Excellency the Baron, can you communicate with your family members? Our Haifeng family is willing to pay any price!" Dalton said hastily.

"I'm sorry, Lord Duke, our family will not sell the technology of horse training!" In order to avoid Dalton's entanglement, Yifei still decided not to give him any hope, so he said directly.

"Oh, what a pity!" Dalton said with some disappointment,
"Hehe, Lord Duke, although our family won't sell the technology of domesticating war horses, we can sell a batch of war horses to your family." At this moment, Yifei's heart moved, and he said with a smile.

"Your Excellency the Baron, is what you said true?" Dalton asked happily.

"Hehe, of course it's true, Your Excellency the Duke."

"My lord duke, after I return to the territory, you can send someone over to deal directly with the matter of the war horse! I'm sorry, but I will excuse you for a moment!"

After chatting with Dalton for a while, Yifei heard Locke's shout, and couldn't help saying sorry.

Yifei came to where Locke was, on the other side of the hall.

At this time, Locke pointed to a middle-aged man beside him and said, "Brother, this is General Brian of the Thorn Legion!"

Looking at the big man in front of him, Yifei knew that he was a member of the army, and the evil spirit on his body was too heavy!

"Hello, General Brian!" Yifei greeted politely
"Hello, Your Excellency the Baron, there is something I want to ask you. Does your family still have the incendiary bombs that you used when fighting the barbarians?"

"I don't know how much you need, General!"

"One hundred thousand pieces!"

"Hehe, General, don't be joking, it's an alchemy tool!"

"Your Excellency, the military department does not require you to come up with so many incendiary bombs immediately, but only hopes that within five years, you can provide [-] incendiary bombs."

[Random side mission: commission from the military.Provide 1 incendiary bombs to the Imperial Army within five years.Mission completed: Extra Legion Formation [-].

Additional Legion Organization: An additional 5000 soldiers can be recruited. 】

As soon as General Brian's conditions were stated, a dialog box popped up in front of Yifei's eyes. Seeing the content in the dialog box, Yifei became excited and wished to agree to him immediately.

But he calmed down and said, "Well, since it's for the empire, I'll do my best, but the cost..."

"Your Excellency the Baron, you don't have to worry about this fee. Since it is the request of the empire, the empire will never take advantage of your family. Let it be calculated with 5000 gold coins..."

.......
In the next period of time, under the introduction of Locke, Yifei got to know many members of the family. In just half a day, he negotiated various and piecemeal deals!

Except for the two previous transactions with the Haifeng family and the military, the rest are small commercial transactions. Although the transaction volume is not very large, it has opened up the market for commodities.

It can be said that it is a channel that can continuously provide him with a source of gold coins.

Yifei calculated in his heart that if all these fragmentary transactions were completed, he could at least earn more than 200 million gold coins, and he might get even more every year, so he was very happy immediately.

"Thank you, Lord Duke!" Yifei and Locke walked to the garden outside the hall, and Yifei said to Locke.

"Hehe, brother Yifei, you're welcome, this is a matter of mutual benefit, even without my introduction, they will come to you!"

"Anyway, thank you, my lord!"

"Okay, Brother Yifei, why don't we be so polite between you and me, we're done with business, let's go relax..."

"Hehe, my lord, I won't go. Do you think my outfit suits me?"

"Hahaha, then I don't care?"

"Well, my lord, you go, I will rest here!"
