Templar Sun King

Chapter 66 Martin's Secret

Seven days later, Adam received a letter from Martin.

In the letter, Martin said that he would visit Adam in two days and had an important matter to discuss.

For Martin Adam, he always felt that this fat businessman was not simple, so Adam had no intention of rejecting his arrival, and expressed various welcomes in his reply letter.

And during these nine days, Adam himself was not idle, and took Andrew to wander around York several times, fully understanding some of the situation in York, and readjusting some affairs in the territory.

For example, reducing taxes, especially the taxes of vendors.Originally, York’s tax revenue was higher than that of Falcon City. There was no way. The best way to get more tax revenue was to increase tax revenue.

But Adam is not short of the money. The gold, silver and precious stones obtained in the ruins last time are enough for Adam to spend for a while, so why would he care about such a small amount of money.

Moreover, Adam believes that only when the sheep are strong can they harvest more delicious goat milk.

Adam's approach made some people feel incomprehensible. It seemed unbelievable to them not to raise taxes, but now Adam actually lowered taxes, which was really beyond their comprehension.

However, Adam's approach was unanimously praised by all the residents of York. They were somewhat apprehensive about the new lord. After all, if the lord was a brutal person, they would have to live in fear.

Fortunately, this is a very generous and kind lord. He issued a tax reduction decree within a few days after arriving in the territory, which surprised them for a long time.

Martin arrived amidst the joy of the inhabitants of York.

"Mr. Martin, I welcome you on behalf of my husband." Arras was welcoming Martin on the street, who used to be Martin's employer.

Even Arras, who became the consul of York, still referred to Adam as Mr., and what he valued was his status as a follower rather than the position of a consul.

"Haha, Arras, congratulations, I heard that you are now the consul of York." Martin laughed enthusiastically, as if there had never been any feud between them before.

"Please follow me, sir is waiting for you in the lord's mansion."

Aras felt that he was still too immature to be as enthusiastic as Martin, no matter who he faced, at least Aras couldn't do it when facing Martin.

Soon, Arras brought Martin and Pepin to the lord's mansion.

Leaving aside Martin's little problems as a businessman, such as greed, he is very good at dealing with people. For example, a few of his jokes now make Adam feel very happy.

"Of course you're welcome. You don't have any problem opening as many shops as you want." Just now Martin raised the question of opening his own shop in York, and Adam naturally would not object.

"That's really good." Martin's chubby face showed a happy expression.

After chatting for a while, Martin got to the point.

"Actually, I'm here this time mainly because I need your help, my lord." Martin looked at the other people present, Andrew in armor, and Martin knew that this was Adam's guardian knight, the strong silver man.

Arras, a follower of Adam and now the consul of York, can be said to be a model of ascending to heaven and earth in one step.Janet, who used to be a little adventurer, now seems to be under Adam's command.

"Don't worry, they are all people I trust, and they won't talk nonsense." Adam knew what Martin meant, and said that they were all his own people, and said directly that it didn't matter.

Now that Adam has said this, Martin will naturally not insist and start to say his purpose.

"Actually, I currently have a task in hand, and I hope to get your help."

For the first time, Adam saw such a serious expression on Martin's face.

"Oh, what mission?"

"Obtain the head of a silver rank dark elf!"

Silver Rank, Dark Elf, Head.Adam, Arras, and Janet all looked at Martin with incomprehensible expressions. He was just a businessman, why did he have such a strange task.

The elves are a famous long-lived race in this world, who are good at natural spells. Some of them fell into the dark area of ​​the underground world and became today's dark elves, a brutal and murderous race.

There is not much difference in appearance from ordinary elves, they are all very handsome and even more monstrous, but their skin has become darker, which is also the source of their dark elves' names.

"Explain in detail." Andrew, who had been serving as the background board, rarely spoke.

Seeing that it was Andrew, the Silver Knight, who spoke, Martin quickly explained the task in detail.

"The task I received is to hunt down a dark elf in the dark region of the first floor of the underground world and obtain his head."

Hunting the dark elf Adam didn't mind at all, but he didn't want to get involved in it somehow.

"Martin, I think..."

"Don't worry, my lord, in return I will support a large amount of funds for your territory as construction costs, and if there is anything that needs to come to my place in the future, I will do my best to help you." Martin promised benefits.

"No, no, no." Adam stretched out his index finger and shook, "This is a very dangerous task. I want to know why you, a businessman, received such a strange task. Don't tell me it's a strange request from a certain client."

"Um..." Martin hesitated very much, but in order to gain Adam's support, he could only choose to accept the explanation.

"This was originally a secret, I hope no one else will know." Martin had no choice.

"Don't worry, it won't be known by others." Adam looked at the few people present. Andrew, Arras and Janet were all trustworthy people and would not talk nonsense.

"Okay. Here's the thing, I'm taking this mission to join an organization."

"What kind of organization would come up with such a strange task?" Adam blinked, a little strange.

Then a familiar word fell into everyone's ears.

"Buffyson Business Alliance."

"Wait, aren't you originally a member of the Bafison Chamber of Commerce?" Aras couldn't help asking.

Martin gave an embarrassed look.

Now everyone understands.

"It turns out that you have never been a member of the Bafisun Chamber of Commerce, and you have always been a fake!" Aras said angrily. If it weren't for the identity of the other party's Bafixon Chamber of Commerce, he would not have chosen to become Martin's employer. , and almost died at the hands of vampires and ogres.

"As you know, I'm just a small businessman with some money in my hands. If I don't have enough identity, how can I trade between Celtic and Upler? I've been exploited by those greedy city owners long ago. There is nothing left. Only by relying on the status of a member of the Buffett Chamber of Commerce can we safely earn wealth."

It sounds reasonable.

"Then this task is the assessment of you by the Bafison Chamber of Commerce?"

"Yes, I don't know how many people in the mainland want to become a member of the Bafison merchants. Correspondingly, it is very difficult to assess the merchants who apply to become a member of the merchant alliance."

Martin has great fantasies and longings for the Bafison Business Alliance, which is the goal he has been striving for these years.

"In fact, hunting the dark elves is my last mission, and I have passed the previous assessment."

"Oh, what are the other tasks?" Adam was a little interested in the assessment of the Bafison Chamber of Commerce.

"The assessment is mainly divided into two parts. The first part is the assessment of the merchant's commercial talent. I have no problem with this. You must know that there are already enough caravans and chambers of commerce under your name. Even the person in charge of the assessment is right. I am very satisfied."

When he said this, Martin showed a very smug expression, and even he himself was proud of his extraordinary business talent.

"But there is another part, which is about strength." Martin himself is just an ordinary person who is very reluctant to even start the black iron, "so I can only hire adventurers to help me do things."

"The last time you mentioned that capturing the blood rebels in the forest of ashes is one of the missions?" Adam recalled what Martin had said when he first met him.

"Actually almost..." Martin stammered, "Last time I modified the content of the characters. In fact, my mission was not to capture the traitor, but to hunt and kill a silver blood."

Adam really admired Martin, and led a large group of adventurers deep into the Ash Forest, the headquarters of the Johnson family, to hunt and kill a silver blood clan.

"No wonder we were attacked by vampires and vampires after you came back. So you killed a silver vampire." Aras suddenly realized why they were attacked by vampires and vampires for no reason last time.

"Hunting and killing the silver blood clan, and then hunting and killing the silver dark elves, as long as you complete these two tasks, you can become a member of the real Bafison business alliance."

"That's right, I hope the lord can help me."

Adam took a look at Andrew and felt that there was no problem.

"Where is the location?"

"Yupler!"
