"Business?" Qin Feng murmured, "Then let him wait for me there, and I'll be there right away."
Qin Feng walked out of the underground castle hall and rode his war horse to a gravel spot. This place was 1,000 meters away from the castle hall, which was enough for the other party not to see the situation here.
"Kronni, my attendant, I heard that you have a profitable business?" Qin Feng got off his horse and sat on a big stone with a golden sword.
Kroni, who had changed into a fine armor, was leading a majestic war horse, and there were three generals and guards around him who were always on guard.
"Lord Baron, I am now a knight. This is a title that your Majesty has recognized." Croni bowed slightly. In the previous gathering, his knighthood had been confirmed by King Diablo, and he had even become a king.
knight.
At this time, his status was half a level higher than that of ordinary noble knights, and he had the confidence to negotiate with ordinary barons.
"Oh, that's really congratulations?" Qin Feng raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, the other party quietly became a knight and skipped the stage of being a squire.
"Let's talk about what kind of profitable business you have come to me for. I'm short of money recently." Qin Feng looked at him with a smile.
Hearing that Qin Feng was short of money, Croni also laughed immediately, "Someone paid 2,500 gold coins and wanted me to eliminate the bandits on Black Wind Mountain and make them prisoners.
It’s just that I don’t have an army now, so I can’t capture them.”
"No." Qin Feng refused without hesitation.
"Why?" Clonney asked in surprise: "Aren't you very short of money?"
"Do you know how big Black Wind Mountain is? It will take me a lot of time just to find their camp. Moreover, they have a large number of people, and we only have 200 people. This will take a lot of time."
Qin Feng showed a disappointed expression, "I can't help you with this. I don't have any extra time to waste in Black Wind Mountain."
"How about 3,000 gold coins?" Kroni quickly raised the price.
Qin Feng shook his head lightly. This task was really too troublesome. If they gathered together, they might be able to do it.
"4,000 gold coins? 5,000 gold coins?" Qin Feng kept refusing, which made Croning even more anxious.
"Lord Baron, please help me. If I can't wipe out all the bandits on the Black Wind Mountain, I will be in big trouble."
Qin Feng stood up from the stone with a bored look on his face, "What trouble can there be? They are dozens of kilometers away from you. Once they go down the mountain, they will definitely be wiped out by the Kingdom's army."
Kroni thought for a while, and finally chose to tell the truth, "Well, His Majesty asked me to wipe them out within thirty days, but Your Majesty didn't give me a single soldier, only 5,000 gold coins. If I can't complete Your Majesty's mission, I will never give it to you in this life."
But it’s over.”
"Is it really just 5,000 gold coins?" Qin Feng looked him up and down and looked at him suspiciously, "No more?"
"It's really gone." Kroni smiled awkwardly.
Qin Feng held his chin, "If you can give me another 10,000 gold coins, I will help you do this."
Croni was suddenly shocked, "10,000 gold coins, how could I have so much money? Lord Baron, please stop playing tricks on me."
"Although you don't have it, someone will give it to you soon." Qin Feng looked at him with a half-smile, "The title of baron given to you by the king is not that easy to get. You need to weigh the pros and cons and deal with many factors."
"How do you know that the king gave me the title of baron?" Croni was shocked again, and then nodded in understanding, "I understand, sir, what should I do?"
In the early morning of the next day, Crony woke up from a cheap tavern. Because of money problems, he did not dare to spend as much as he wanted.
As soon as he opened the door to his room, two fully armed knights stood in front of him.
Standing in the middle was an old man with a serious expression, "Don't you want me to come in and sit down?"
Croni knew the other party's identity when he saw the badge on the knight's armor, but he still pretended to ask: "Who are you?"
The old man always looked serious and tilted his head slightly. The knight on the side held a square box in front of him. As the knight opened it, a bright white light suddenly shone in Kroni's eyes.
"I don't know you, but this box of platinum coins... you must know me..."
Kroni licked his lips, with a greedy look in his eyes, and looked at the old man diligently, "Please forgive me for being blind, it turns out to be Lord Salamanda, what are your orders?"
"Ah, by the way, please come in, it's very windy outside." Keng Lonnie led the other party into the simple bedroom, and the door was closed immediately.
Prime Minister Salamanda sat on the only clean seat and said calmly: "I know the current affairs very well. Since you asked so straightforwardly, I will tell you clearly."
Two knights were guarding the door, and where Kroni couldn't see it, more knights surrounded the entire inn, preventing anyone from getting close.
"Someone took my money but didn't do anything for me, so I want to ask you for a favor and ask him out, and then..."
Salamanda did not say what he wanted to do, but Kroni in front of him immediately answered, "Is it Baron Qin Feng that Master Salamanda wants to deal with? How about I lead him to Black Wind Mountain? There are few people there, even if he dies,
No one knows.”
Salamanda nodded slightly, "Well, that's a good idea, then I'll see how you perform."
When Salamanda left, Kroni closed the door to his room and immediately showed a slight smile on his face.
Three days later, Qin Feng led 50 cavalrymen towards Black Wind Mountain, leaving the rest to guard the gravel square.
During this time, there was a blacksmith shop, a tavern and a Taoist temple on the gravel square.
Now with tens of thousands of gold coins in hand, after exchanging more magic crystals with the businessman Beijer, Qin Feng began to build aggressively. Next, there are guard barracks, shops, stone walls, sentry towers, etc., all waiting to be repaired.
among the projects.
At the same time, the blacksmith shop has already made a batch of spears and waist knives, which will become important loan goods and obtain more financial support from the nobles of the Bajo Kingdom.
In order to stop the nobles from waiting and watching, Qin Feng promised that his weapons would be given priority to those who loaned money early and in large amounts.
When Qin Feng brought dozens of people to the foot of Black Wind Mountain, he believed that what he would see when he went back would be countless gold coins.
Looking at the rolling mountains in front of him, Qin Feng rode leisurely on his horse and asked Kroni beside him, "Where are Salamanda's troops? Are you following them?"
Qin Feng, who was considered a close confidant of the king at first, still had some value in Salamanda's eyes, but then Qin Feng's position was replaced by Croni in the blink of an eye, which made Salamanda think that his alienation strategy had worked.
So he sent another elite force to kill him in the Black Wind Mountain, not only to avenge his dead soldiers, but also to give King Diablo a warning.
