Chapter 27: When it comes to making promises, I, Thor, am a professional
On the west side of Loren City, in a large house, Lajos Asad kept walking back and forth, his face full of worry.
As the heir of the Asad family, he was not valued by the family because he was just an illegitimate child. Even his father, the current head of the Asad family, did not like him, a son who was born from the maid's belly by accident.
Even if Lajos Asad became an apprentice knight before the age of eighteen, it was still the same.
He did not get the opportunity to be loyal to the family.
He also did not become the manager of the Asad caravans like his brothers and sisters.
There was only a small shop in Loren City.
Oh my God, that was Loren City.
Let alone, it was in the newly developed dilapidated northern province.
Even that one shop was pitifully small.
To be honest, he was extremely unwilling.
But what if he was unwilling? He did not have the courage to become a pioneer knight.
Then he could only obey the family's order, go to Loren City, and get that small shop.
However, when he accepted the reality.
After arriving in Loren City.
He found that the situation was more difficult than he imagined.
Because the entire trade in Loren City was almost monopolized by the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce.
It was almost difficult for him to sell supplies.
After half a year, the gold coins he brought were almost all used up, but the revenue of the shop was still only a few dozen silver coins.
With such treatment, let alone running a good business, even surviving would be a big problem.
So, three months ago, when he found that the entire Northland Province seemed to have no special supplies for sale, he had a bold idea, which was to smuggle some special supplies to the Northland Province for sale.
Especially some military supplies.
I think, given the crisis level in the Northland Province, those things should be easy to sell.
As it happened, the Assad family was a family engaged in commerce, and even though he was not valued, he was the son of the head of the Assad family of this generation, so it was not difficult for him to get some things.
With an idea.
There was no doubt that he would take action.
His first goal was the fierce fire oil.
Compared with other military supplies, the price of fierce fire oil was not high, and it was more practical.
It could be used in various environments.
In his opinion, the price of ten pounds of fierce fire oil he got from the family was probably only about ten silver coins, and he could sell it for fifty or even one hundred silver coins in the Northland Province, which was at least ten times the price.
More importantly, the special nature of fierce fire oil allowed it to be mixed in ordinary water and extracted after arriving in Loren City, which was enough to conceal the border patrol checkpoints.
In fact, it was true.
Seven days ago, the first batch of fierce fire oil was delivered by him.
And three days ago, he had already extracted the fierce fire oil.
But when things reached this moment, something went wrong.
That was the right buyer.
That's right, it's the right buyer.
He thinks there is no shortage of people who need the fierce fire oil.
But that's just what he thinks.
In fact, it's not easy to find a buyer.
It's even more difficult to find a trading party that is trustworthy enough.
Smuggled materials, especially such important materials, once leaked, the situation is no joke.
If he were a noble, it would be fine, but unfortunately he is not, then he will definitely go to the gallows, and his father will probably not protect him.
At this moment, he regretted it a little.
Regret that he was a little too impulsive.
The figure kept walking.
The worry on his face still did not go away.
It was not until a moment later that Lajos Assad looked at the knight squire next to him.
They were his only few most loyal knight squires.
"Ram, is that man really trustworthy?"
The words came out with a bit of worry.
"Sir, that person is trustworthy!"
"And that person does not have a noble title, and there is only a baron behind him. Even if it is leaked, we can deny it. No one can prove that those things are sold by us, and no one can prove that those things are fierce fire oil, right?"
Ram said respectfully.
"That's right!"
Listening to Ram's words, thinking about his series of preparations for this, he couldn't help but relax a little.
But just as he was relaxing.
A male servant ran over quickly.
"Master, Knight Tor Dressrosa requests a meeting with you!"
The male servant said respectfully, and then handed over a post.
"Tor Dressrosa?"
"From the Dressrosa family?"
Lajos Asad was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and was a little confused.
He naturally knew the situation of his own family. The Dressrosa family and their family were indeed not too friendly.
At this moment, a person from the Dressrosa family suddenly appeared to visit, which made him a little confused for a while.
"Let him in!"
"Get ready!"
Lajos Assad frowned for a moment, but finally nodded.
The etiquette of the nobility made it impossible for him to refuse.
He was also a little curious about what the other party wanted to do with him.
Soon, Thor and Ryan were welcomed into the room by the butler.
"Dear Sir Lajos Assad, I'm sorry for interrupting you. This is a small gift. Please don't mind."
Thor said with a smile, and then motioned to Ren to present a wooden box.
The footman took it and handed the wooden box to Lajos Assad.
"Knight Tordressrosa, you're welcome!"
Lajos Assad smiled and opened the wooden box casually, intending to close it again as usual.
But when he saw the wooden box, his movements couldn't help but paused.
His pupils instantly widened.
"bump!"
The wooden box fell, and his figure suddenly stood up, looking at Thor with a gloomy expression.
"you!"
Lajos Assad spoke subconsciously, but for a moment Lajos Assad didn't know what to say.
"Your Excellency, Lajos, don't be nervous. I am here to discuss business with Lajos Assad. I have no other intention."
Thor's gentle voice sounded, with a still calm smile on his face.
Look at Thor's smile.
Lajos Assad took a deep breath, suppressed the panic and nervousness in his heart, and waved his hand to make the people around him retreat.
It wasn't until everyone left the room that he looked at Thor.
"Business, Mr. Tordressrosa, this is not the way to talk about business."
He spoke in a low and cold manner, and his eyes had a fierce light. .
"no no!"
"Lord Lajos, you misunderstood!"
"I said I'm here to discuss business, so naturally this is business."
"Like I could buy five hundred pounds of that stuff."
