Section 184: Survival from desperate situation
The Gale Sword Saint Skazi came to the fat man and was full of praise for the magic bow in his hand, but he had no intention of returning it. Fatty is a person who has been in the officialdom for so many years. How can he not know what the other party wants to do when he sees this? So he pretended to be serious and said: "Dear Duke Kaz, your compliment is actually a bit excessive. After all, this kind of bow is the latest development. Although it looks very good, there may be something wrong with it. place. I thought, in order to fully examine the characteristics of this bow, could you please study it for a few days? ”
Although the fat man said it politely, everyone present knew that this bow would be kept forever by the Gale Sword Saint Skazi.
"For the benefit of the kingdom, I have no obligation to refuse!" Gale Sword Saint Skazi was also very sensible and immediately said righteously.
After receiving the benefits, the Gale Sword Master Skazi was very talkative. He directly sent away the August family members and gave all the bow and arrow procurement tasks for this year's army to the Stephen family workshop. Not only that, he They even requested to purchase an additional batch of magic bows to equip a group of the most elite archers. Of course, Fatty had explained in advance that future magic bows would definitely not be better than this one, because this one was specially made by an expert.
The Gale Sword Saint Skazi naturally immediately asked curiously who made it. At this time, the fat man pretended to be embarrassed and whispered, "Master Thunder!"
When he heard that the bow in his hand turned out to be the work of the newly emerged master, Sword Master Skazi's jaw almost dropped. You know, the Stephen family's auction house has shocked the mainland, and it is naturally impossible for him not to know the price at which the master's work was sold, which was a sky-high price of hundreds of thousands of gold coins! As a nobleman from a commoner background, he would never be able to make so much money in his life without any foundation, unless he dared to devour military pay. But that is obviously unrealistic. After all, the Griffin Kingdom is still in an unstable period and has to send troops to fight from time to time. Therefore, the royal family has strict treatment and control of the troops below. With the Gale Sword Saint Skazi With his identity, being greedy is not a big problem, but if he wants to swallow hundreds of thousands of gold coins, something will definitely happen.
When he thought that he had received such a big gift, Gale Sword Master Skazi felt that the things in his hands became hot. He secretly decided to send this thing back after playing with it for a few days, but he didn’t dare to really do it. wanted.
The fat man also saw his uneasiness and hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Excellency, you must have come out too. Although this bow is a good thing, its actual power is limited. In fact, it is just The things the master practices on are not the master’s own work, so the master doesn’t even sign his name on them, so they are not worth anything at all.”
After hearing this, Gale Sword Saint Skazi felt slightly comforted. After the business was done, the fat man left with a smile, but Kaz did not hold back. After sending the fat man away, he hurried to the palace. He must report to His Majesty what happened suddenly today.
In the palace, the emperor and the queen were enjoying afternoon tea in the garden, when they heard that the Storm Sword Saint Skazi asked for an audience. The emperor immediately smiled and said: "It seems there is news! Haha, I want to see how much meat your family can eat from Stephen's mouth this time! Haha!"
"No matter how much it is, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your care on behalf of my brother!" the queen immediately replied with a smile.
"Haha, we are husband and wife, if I don't help you, who will I help?" The emperor said hypocritically.
The queen immediately showed a happy smile. However, both of them knew in their hearts that the emperor would not be so generous if there were no interests at play.
Then, the emperor ordered his subordinates to invite the Gale Sword Saint Skazi. Soon, Gale Sword Saint Skazi arrived here. The emperor still respected the sword master very much. He stood up with the queen to greet him, then invited him to sit down and served him a cup of high-quality afternoon tea. After being polite, he asked: "What's the matter? The tender will end so soon?"
"Yes, it's over!" Swift Sword Saint Skazi replied immediately.
"What's the result?" The emperor immediately asked curiously: "How many shares did the two families get? How much did the price drop?"
"Your Majesty!" Gale Sword Saint Skazi said with a wry smile: "All the shares were taken away by the Stephen family, and not only did the price not decrease, but it increased by 50%!"
"What?" The emperor and the queen were stunned when they heard this. They never expected this result. The emperor hurriedly asked: "How could this happen? Didn't the August family participate in the competition?"
"They are involved!" Swift Sword Saint Skazi said.
"Is it the quality of their bows and arrows, or is it just as bad as before?" the emperor asked again.
"No, the archery level of the August family is indeed almost the same as that of the Stephen family. Even if it is a little bit different, it won't have much impact!" Swift Sword Saint Skazi said honestly.
"If that's the case, why do you want to give all your shares to the Stephen family? And you also added 50% to the offer?" The emperor suddenly said in confusion.
"Because the Stephen family has come up with a stronger bow!" Gale Sword Saint Skazi said with a bitter smile: "After this kind of bow appears, the previous bows can be completely scrapped! Therefore, I made the decision. I gave all the orders to the Stephen family and accepted their request for a price increase."
"Huh?" The emperor and the queen were all surprised when they heard this. The emperor didn't care, but the queen couldn't stand it anymore and asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, are you sure that the Stephen family's bow is a brand new species? ? And it must be as good as you said?"
"Yes, I'm sure!" Gale Sword Saint Skazi nodded and said, "If you don't believe me, you can take a look at the samples I brought!"
"Where are the samples?" the emperor asked hurriedly.
"Outside, you know, according to the rules of the palace, I cannot come to you with a weapon!" Swift Sword Master Skazi said.
"Bring it in quickly!" The emperor then ordered the guards outside.
Soon, two fine steel bows were brought to the emperor. The emperor himself was also a master and had a deep understanding of bows and arrows. He picked up these two fine steel bows and adjusted them a little, and he immediately understood everything. Then he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "The Stephen family can actually create such a strong bow, and can even add magic freely. My God, the teacher is indeed the most famous alchemist on the mainland, and his skills are truly extraordinary. No wonder you would rather spend money. Even if the price is high, the order will be given to the Stephen family. You did a good job this time!”
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!" Sword Saint Skazi nodded slightly and saluted, then hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, I heard from Duke Stephen that the magic bow was made by Master Thunder. I doubt it. , this casting technology of the Stephen family was also taught by Master Thunder, and has nothing to do with the teacher!”
"Master Thunder!" After hearing this, the emperor suddenly realized, "Ah, yes, yes, it should be him. It is said that Master Thunder also conducted an auction at the Stephen family auction house. At that time, I thought he was It has something to do with the Stephen family, and this time, I'm afraid it's for sure! Oh my, it's getting more and more amazing in the Stephen family. There were originally strong family members like the teacher to protect them, and then they appeared again! Little Stephen is such a freak, he even recovered a sword master, if you include Master Thunder, haha, that is really amazing!"
"Haha!" Gale Sword Saint Skazi did not dare to answer, so he could only laugh twice, and then hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I want to go back and carefully study the future application of this bow on the battlefield. I'm disturbing your time!" He stood up.
"Haha, then go and do your work. Thank you for your hard work!" the emperor encouraged.
"I don't dare to take it seriously, it's all my responsibility!" Gale Sword Saint Skazi said politely, "Then, I'll retire!" With that, he picked up the two sample bows, turned around and retreated go out.
As soon as the Gale Sword Saint Skazi walked away, the emperor turned around and shrugged helplessly at the queen, smiling bitterly: "My dear, you saw it too, it's not that I don't help, it's true that the Stephen family is not that easy to deal with. ! ”
"Your Majesty, I understand your difficulties, but you have to know that in order to get this order, my brother has almost spent all his money. Now his warehouse is full of animal horns for making bows and arrows. Materials, if these things fall into our hands, my family will go bankrupt!" As the queen spoke, she couldn't help but cry.
"Oh, there's nothing I can do about it?" the emperor said helplessly: "I can't force the military to buy the August family's bows and arrows, right? If that happens, the Gale Sword Saint Skazi will definitely be the first one not to do it. Promised! ”
"But you can't just ignore death?" The queen cried while holding the emperor's thigh: "The Augustus family has been fighting for the Griffin Kingdom for hundreds of years, and the male Dinga in the family who died in battle has There are more than a thousand people. Now, are you just going to watch us go bankrupt?”
"This~" When talking about this, the emperor was really embarrassed to be too unfeeling. He thought about it and finally said helplessly: "How about this? I will write a warrant to allow your family to get that batch of materials as soon as possible. Trafficking to the Empire of Light. They obviously can't get enough metal bows in a short time. At least in the next few years, ordinary bows will still be their main weapon, so they still need these materials, and you may still be able to earn them. A little! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The Queen said excitedly upon hearing this.
