The Witcher: Lord of the Elements

"As for the nobles and rich people, not much has been lost."

Dole glanced at Leona and then at Eugene, the two of them had done a lot of work.

Gretel seemed to be involved as well, and it was clear from the beginning, only Dole and Ashe had some understanding at this time.

These few people seem to be very tight about their pocketbooks.

Dorai nodded, he thought for a while, and said, "I tasted them, and the effect is very mediocre. Based on what Leona said, they really cater to the preferences of adventurers, mercenary groups, and professionals. We are now How much has your turnover dropped?"

Gretel hurriedly said, "Depending on the location of the store, it has dropped by one-third overall. My monthly pocket money has dropped by [-] gold coins. It's really sad."

His heartbroken look made Eugene next to him agree.

Dole thought for a while, and suddenly asked a question, "The Langte family is in the wine business, and they used this method to seize the market. To be honest, I don't have a good way. If we add For things like wine, it seems difficult to guarantee the supply?"

Gretel nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, the Langte family has controlled the wine, we really can't help it, just come up with an idea and seize the market."

Dole was surprised, "Didn't we think about it together? Why am I thinking about it alone?"

Eugene argued, "The two of us are not as proficient in business as you are."

"That's it."

The two of you sang and I drank, which made Dole feel a little dizzy.

Alcohol naturally attracts the pursuit of many people. The pressure of life and career can easily make people feel drunk and dreamy, sinking into a coma world, unable to extricate themselves. It has been sought after by many people since ancient times.

Since the Langte family has dominated the wine business, other people will not be able to beat their century-old business if they intervene.

Dole thought for a while and said, "In fact, we can also do the wine business. There is no separation between wine and food. The Langte family must have a lot of food hoarding. If we compete with them, we will also make wine and seize food. market, break their supply chain, and maybe push them into a hurry."

Gretel and Eugene glanced at each other, feeling a little overwhelmed and dabbling in another field, which is not their specialty.

Gretel was a little better, a good hand in business, and Eugene came here from pure shame, so he couldn't help but look a little ugly.

"I've never thought about making wine." Gretel smiled wryly. "This is a new field for me."

Chapter 542 Thoughts

Seeing that the three of them were lost in thought, Ashe said at this time, "If we also make drinks, do we need factories and large quantities of food? This is not something that a few people can do well. It requires a lot of people. Let’s forget it, or I’ll go back and find someone to cut off part of the Langte family’s food?”

"This is illegal competition." Gretel gave Ashe a blank look.

As the owner of the city, the Rhine family is in charge of people's livelihood, and food is naturally the top priority. Ashe said this, he naturally has the confidence, but the Langte family is also a big family, and there are also some food channels. It is not cost-effective to cause the two families to be hostile.

Ashe doesn't care, he hates the Langte family very much now.

"Then give up this piece of business for nothing?" Ashe was a little unwilling.

The group was at a loss.

...

McLaren raised his head, and said in surprise, "Dole woke up?"

The disciple said respectfully, "Yes, teacher, just now he has announced to the public that he is about to refine a sixth-level potion, and opened up the name of Dole's Wizard Tower. In addition, he changed the name of the Wizard Tower to Chris Wizard Tower."

McLaren nodded, looked at his disciple and said suddenly, "Clean up, come with me to meet him, and give him the dividends of the past few years."

The disciple was taken aback, not knowing what the teacher's arrangement was, so he nodded.

...

"I just woke up, you came here, the news is very well-informed!" In the room, Dole had a smile on his face.

Of course, he knew the reason for McLaren's coming. It was a gift for him, and the amount was definitely not low. Although he didn't participate in the Southwest War, the money he should have was not short at all.

McLaren sat across from Dole, with his apprentice standing behind him.At this time, he smiled and said, "It's better to curry favor with anyone than to curry favor with you. No, come here as soon as you get the news. Once you come back, you won't show up for dozens of days. There are rumors spreading outside."

Dole smiled lightly and said, "The wind and rain outside cannot blow into my wizard tower."

McLaren smiled faintly and said, "Then let's talk about business first."

He glanced back at his disciple and said, "Bring the account book."

An hour later, McLaren closed the ledger, "That's it, you see?"

Dolly nodded, "Yeah."

McLaren breathed a sigh of relief. Although he took advantage of Dollet to some extent, he knew that as long as it wasn't too much, Dollet didn't care about it.

He thought for a while, and then said, "I heard from the pharmacy union that some people started to target you, and the Lante family also started to target you. Now you are always staying in the wizard tower, don't you have any ideas?"

Dole showed a helpless smile, "It's useless for me to have ideas. Those are big people. I'm a little wizard, so what can I do."

McLaren coughed and said, "Why don't I give you a suggestion?"

"Please tell me." Dole became serious.

McLaren laughed, "In the Glory Empire, a person's identity changes with his strength and status. Now you only have strength and no status. Although the reputation is indeed not low, but the reputation is reputation after all, and the status still has no status." How many changes, my brother’s suggestion to you is, you go to the city lord’s mansion now, change your identity, and then say, don’t you have meritorious service, first become a nobleman, in this way, many harsh laws that apply to civilians will not be able to afford you It worked."

Dole blinked, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

Yeah, how could he forget this.Merit is merit, although he is already a nobleman in name, but he does not have the status of nobleman for a day, and civilians will always be civilians.

Nobles have many privileges. If you really ask questions, you can use your status as a noble to deal with them. This is a good way.

Duo Lai stood up, his expression brightened, "Thank you for reminding me, brother, I'll go to the City Lord's Mansion to verify it."

McLaren laughed and said, "A knighthood is a major event. The birth of each knighthood is given by the empire after very careful consideration. Now you have enough meritorious service and a good record. It won't take long for the City Lord's Mansion to review it. , I personally suggest you to apply as soon as possible.”

Dolle nodded, walked out of his seat, and said, "Then let's go out together, this idea is very important to me."

...

Dole sent a message to Ashe, and then sent a message to Gretel and Eugene. After walking out of the wizard towers with McLaren, they walked towards the Santo's Mansion.

When he came outside, many people pointed at him. Secretly and openly, Duo Lai saw it all. Recently, there were a lot of gossip about him, but he didn't respond.

There are many schools in the wizard tower group, all kinds of alchemy school, pharmacist school, puppet school, magic pattern school and so on. Dolai's pharmacist school has now leapt above them. Some people should watch the excitement. The entrance of the Reese Wizard Tower is already more lively than the entrance of any other Wizard Tower.

These people watched the fun and watched the fun, and finally wanted to buy Dolle's potion, so Dolle didn't mind.

After going out, he just glanced around casually, and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion after not noticing excessive hostility.

He is going to two places today, the first is the city lord's mansion, and the second is the military department.

Although the military department is separated from the legion, the meritorious service and achievements of the legion are kept in the military department. Where is he going, he will apply for the meritorious service.

Let Ashe and Gretel come because of Ashe's relationship, and Gretel was the witness of the Wizard Tower at that time.

Not long after, he came to the city lord's mansion. Next to the city lord's mansion is the office building of the military department, not very far away.

He waited a moment, Gretel came first, then Ashe.

Both of them already knew the cause and effect, so they didn't say anything when they met. Gretel was a little excited, even more excited than him becoming a baron.

Ashe's performance was similar, and she was deeply happy for Doré. At the same time, she thought that if Doré became a nobleman early, the resistance between herself and him would be less.

The entrance of the military building.

Gretel said jokingly, "If you want to become a nobleman, there will probably be a lot of resistance. There is no objection from the military department, and there is no resistance from the Glory Wizards Alliance, but the nobles themselves have a lot of resistance."

Dole became puzzled, "I don't know much about this program, isn't it enough merits?"

Gretel shook his head, before he spoke, Ashe stood beside Dole, leaned against him, and said softly, "In the empire, there are currently only two ways to become a nobleman, one is to inherit, let's not say Yes, the other is to rely on merit. There are two types of merit. The first is combat merit, and the other is other merit. In general, one combat merit is equal to three other merits. You did not directly participate in the war. So all you get are other merit points, but there are still [-] merit points, which is enough."

...

Chapter 543

Dolly asked puzzled, "And then?"

Ashe smiled and said, "This is just a condition, and there will be evaluations from three aspects in the selection of titles, namely social evaluation, military evaluation and city lord's evaluation. The Glory Wizard Alliance does not participate in it. Your difficulty lies in the social evaluation. Evaluation requires the consent of more than three viscounts."

Duo Lai was a bit big-headed. He thought it would be enough to just exchange meritorious service, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome.

The three viscounts, he does know a few nobles, but he doesn't know what titles, such as Ashe and Eugene, who look like nobles, are actually descendants of nobles, and they don't have titles themselves.

"Where can I find the three viscounts?"

Gretel said with a smile at this time, "The viscount is easy to find, don't those adults owe you favors, just use them, any sixth-level wizard, at least the title of earl, in fact, when you reach the sixth level, you will be the earl directly, at all There is no need to comment on the title of baronet."

The corner of Dolle's mouth twitched, "I was in order to cope with the inquiry meeting, and now I desperately want to get a title. If it wasn't for the inquiry meeting, I would be too lazy to be a nobleman, it is worthless."

Gretel touched his nose, yes, the recent questioning of Dole has basically met the conditions, and the questioning is inevitable.

Ai Xi also knew the importance of this matter, and said at this time, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, the sixth level is too far away, it is estimated that we will stay at this stage for about ten years, it is too far away, go inside first Let's exchange merits, my relationship with the military department is enough, no one will stop you."

Gretel said with a chuckle at this time, seeing the two approaching, they were almost touching each other, with a teasing expression on their faces.

Ashe stood beside Dollet openly, not afraid of Gretel's teasing at all.

Seeing this, Gretel suddenly felt bored. These two dogs and men are now determined to be together.

However, I heard that there is a lot of resistance in Ashe's family, but I don't know if she can resist it. Looking at Dole, there is no objection, she is so good.

Sighing, he said, "Then go in, get things done early, and be promoted to nobleman before the questioning comes, but I guess someone will make trouble in the middle."

Dole shrugged, "Of course someone will do something, but let's do it now, and the soldiers will block it."

At the gate of the military office, several soldiers gave a slight salute. These three people have been standing here for a long time, and they have recognized them long ago.

The military headquarters is very empty, and there are few people. After entering, there are one office after another. Once it is not lively, it is very deserted.

Ashe explained, "Most of the affairs of the military administration are in the military headquarters and the legion. This is only a place for civilian work, so it seems that there are very few people. The place to receive meritorious service is here, and I will take you there."

The three walked and talked, and went up to the third floor in a while.

Duo Lai's concept of the military office is very vague, and he always feels that this place is almost similar to Zhi'an Shu, but now it seems that it is not the same at all.There are a lot of people who come to work in the Public Security Department, and they can break through the threshold. The military headquarters is a scene. The public security department is chaotic, but the military headquarters is neat and tidy. Affecting, looking majestic.At first glance, the military department is much more serious than the Public Security Department.

At the door of an office on the third floor, the three stopped, and Ashe knocked on the door.

Soon two voices came from inside, one low and one crisp.

"Come in."

The door opened wide, and Ashe walked in first.

Gretel snorted, "Turn your elbows out so quickly."

Ashe smiled silently.

Dolly said nothing.

There are two people in the room, both wearing standard military uniforms, a man and a woman, the man is a little older, looks very calm and restrained, the woman looks very capable, at this time they are discussing something together, saw three people After entering, the man immediately laughed.

"Gretel, Ashe, why come to me when you have time, Gretel, I remember that you have already received your meritorious service?"

Gretel rubbed his nose and said with a sneer, "Of course I got it. Ashe and I came here with Dole, please trouble me."

Hearing the name Dole, the old man's smile suddenly disappeared, and he became a little surprised. The owner of Dole's Wizard Tower cannot be neglected, and it is this Wizard Tower who has saved many people this time.

He came around from behind the table and looked at Dole with surprise on his face, "Welcome, welcome, the hero is a boy, although you did not personally participate in the Southwest War, but your contribution is indispensable. I thank you for the 300 million soldiers of our army You." With that, he was about to give a military salute.

Dole stopped him, shook his head slightly, and said, "My lord, it's okay, in essence, I'm just a businessman at the moment, you've broken me."

The old man shook his head and saluted as before, then he relaxed and said with a smile, "You are a businessman, and you are also a businessman who has made contributions. The soldiers saved by Dole Wizard Tower are very grateful to you. In addition, I heard that McKay Lun's technology is also yours, which is a great credit."

Dole smiled slightly, but he didn't say anything. He came to receive meritorious service today, not to listen to others' praise of him.

After exchanging pleasantries, the old man saw that Dole was a little impatient, and then he remembered that this person is a tech freak, so he said with a smile, "Then I won't say much, and I will give you the token of merit."

He went back behind the desk, and directed at the woman. After a while, something like a stack of ledgers came from behind.

The two counted on the table, and after a while, one took out three silver and two brass-like signs, and handed them to Dole respectfully.

"If there is any need in our military department, I hope Lord Doleta will be generous, and we will buy the medicine at the price."

But he heard that Dole has made great moves in the past few days, directly cutting off the medicine of a group of people, and some people made small moves behind, but it really made this person angry.

The corner of Dole's mouth twitched, and he smiled slightly, "Where is it, the military department and I have no conflicts."

Ashe was smiling all over her face at this time, and Gretel and Gretel watched beside her with a look of relief.

After leaving the military headquarters, the three of them rushed to the Glory Wizard Tower without stopping. The Glory Wizard Tower also has some merit points. This time, it's time for Eugene to act.

Eugene walked out of the Wizard Tower and led them to Building No. [-].

Today, he is dressed in a black and gold black and gold suit, which is very cool. There is also a light-colored dragon shape drawn on it, which looks very solemn, as if he is a big man.

When seeing the three of them, Eugene coughed on purpose, and before he could pretend, Gretel slapped them on the forehead.

Eugene's person collapsed immediately after he was set up, jumping up and down in a hurry, "Rolling, the image of Lao Tzu."
