Lord: Start with the Pioneer Knight

"Wei Lin, there is an internal auction at this trade event in the afternoon. A good friend of mine told me that those things are too expensive, so we'd better not buy them."

Seeing Russell winking at him, Wei Lin realized that there was something behind his words, and then turned his head and looked at Kyle.

Seeing his master's hint, Kyle nodded slightly and cast a magic to connect his master with the voice of Earl Russell.

"Brother Russell, what happened?"

Hearing Wei Lin's voice ringing in his mind, Russell's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, then calmed down, took a sip of tea, and explained the information to Wei Lin through his voice.

"During my adventuring career, I met a friend who now works under the Governor of Lunsa Province, Felden Silves. He told me that the internal auction in the afternoon involved a royal struggle."

"I heard that it involved a secret royal past. You must not get involved. Although your family is powerful and backed by the Duke of Moravia, you should try not to get involved if you can."

"Thank you, brother." Weilin thanked from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't be so polite. After the teleportation array was opened, haven't you helped me enough?" Russell replied through his mind. "Besides, you call me brother. Can I still watch you get involved in a meaningless internal struggle?"

Kyle, who was standing aside, saw the look of his master and lifted the spell of [Telepathy].

"Brother, I have a batch of goods purchased from the Centaur tribe. I wonder if you are interested." Weilin put down the teacup in his hand and asked with a smile.

"Wei Lin, if you have the ability, I want to eat them all if the price is right."

"Eat them all, that's not possible, I have to keep some goods for reserve, but I can trade 50% to you, brother." Wei Lin shook his head and answered.

Russell saw this and smiled and replied: "Wei Lin, thank you."

"Hahaha, it's okay."

After the two talked for more than half an hour, Wei Lin stood up, hugged Russell warmly, and then took Xue Mia and Kyle to the palace.

Looking at the loving two people, Russell had a trace of undetectable loneliness in his eyes, but soon buried it in his heart and went to make friends with other nobles.

In the Alcia Palace, the atmosphere was tense and subtle.

Nobles from all over the world gathered here, and every communication between them was full of scheming and calculation.

These exchanges were not just simple conversations, but also silent contests-nobles on both sides tried to judge each other through words, expressions and even subtle movements.

This judgment may involve the value of the traded items, the advantages and disadvantages of the location of the territory, the strength of the lord, or an assessment based on the lord's own personality characteristics.

In this environment of intrigue and deception, Weilin was not immune.

He had a friendly exchange with several nobles, but in the end he politely rejected the trade requests made by the other party.

Because at this moment, he was not eager for more wealth. What really moved him were those high-quality partners who could bring him potential benefits.

Just as Weilin was lost in thought, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Sir, are you interested in talking?"

A young nobleman walked up to Weilin with his partner and invited him with a sincere smile on his face.

Weilin raised his head, a barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled gently and responded: "Let's go sit over there."

At this time, Xuemiya on the side noticed the slightly dark skin of the noble lady, so she took the initiative to step forward, greeted the other party cordially, and enthusiastically invited her to chat with him.

Just like that, a new exchange is about to begin...

The two men sat face to face and began to introduce themselves.

"My name is Claver Islet. As you can see, I am a viscount. My territory is located in the northwest of Dani Province, near the border of the Dukedom of East."

"Verin Aix, this is my full name. I come from Cardero Province. Like you, I am also a viscount." Verin said with a smile.

"Sir Verin, I have heard of your name. It is an honor to meet you here." Claver looked at the young man sitting opposite him with some surprise, and then said enthusiastically.

"Hahaha, no need to add honorifics. Our titles are the same. Just communicate on an equal footing."

"Excuse me."

Facing the Viscount Qixing in front of him, Claver did not dare to put him on the same level as himself.

Although both of them are viscounts, there is a gap between them.

Through communication, Verin gradually understood the other party's identity and background, and was a little surprised.

When he took over the territory from his father, he was just a baron, with a population of only 3,000 and a territory of less than 800 square kilometers. It was located at the border of the Gray Wasteland and the Kingdom, and was at risk of destruction at any time.

In the first 20 years, he relied on his own strength and vision to accumulate strength and develop in a low-key manner.

Then, during the eight-year war between the Kingdom and the Gray Wasteland, he made friends widely, expanded his strength, and accumulated foundation.

During the Seven Years' War, he was even more courageous, taking away 80% of the territory's military forces and investing in this war.

Perhaps it was the favor of the Goddess of Life that he won enough military exploits in this war and was successfully promoted to Viscount.

Why a new Viscount was invited to participate in this event must have his own adventures.

Born in a baron family, he became a golden knight with his own ability in less than 30 years, which was really impressive, and made Weilin want to make friends with him.

"Viscount Claver, you said that your territory has white star grass."

"Yes, Lord Weilin." Claver nodded and replied, "However, the current output is not very high."

"I want to know how many white star grasses your territory can produce every year."

Faced with Weilin's inquiry, Claver did not hide it and told the truth: "It can produce 500 plants every year, no more."

Weilin had a general understanding in his mind, and then asked the maid to bring a trade agreement, and wrote down the three extraordinary resources of Claver's territory on it, namely white star grass, pink berries, and a mutated magic potion plant resource, and the name given by Claver, called three blood flowers, which was a bit too straightforward.

Afterwards, Weilin handed the trade agreement to the other party.

"You decide the price and quantity."

Looking at the content of the trade agreement, Claver understood that this was Viscount Qixing's consideration of him.

If the price he filled in was too high, the other party would still choose to trade, but only this time.

There were many nobles present, and as for why the other party chose him, perhaps this was an investment.

After some consideration, Clever no longer hesitated and wrote down the quantity and price.

Three hundred white star grasses, the market price was thirty-five gold coins per plant, and Clever filled in the unit price as thirty gold coins.

Five hundred kilograms of pink berries, the market price was six gold coins per kilogram, and Clever filled in the unit price as five gold coins.

Sixty three blood flowers, combined with the previous selling price of two hundred gold coins per flower, Clever filled in the unit price as one hundred and eighty gold coins.
