"Hurry up and prepare the tableware, and ask the cook to add a snowfield steak." Nicotine returned to the restaurant and ordered the maid next to him.
"Yes." The maid hurried to the kitchen.
Du Dian stopped the maid who was in a hurry and said, "Fry a few more, I have a good appetite at night."
"Yes." The maid quickly agreed, turned around and walked away.
"I didn't expect you to come back tonight." Nicotine opened the chair and took a seat, and said, "If I had known this, I would have asked the cook to prepare it."
Du Dian smiled and said, "How about it, are you still used to living here?"
Seeing Du Dian's smile, Nicotine suddenly thought of the note he found in the morning, and his heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained the same on the surface, and he said with a smile: "At least it's much more comfortable than we were in prison, and the view of the small river outside is not bad."
Du Dian smiled slightly. After a while, after the maid handed over the dinner, he began to eat. While eating, he chatted with a few people about some topics. After the dinner was over, he got up and went upstairs and returned to his room.
After closing the door, Du Dian glanced at his wardrobe, came to the desk next to him, took out a match to light the oil lamp, and took out a small black carving knife and a piece of wood carving from the drawer, holding the knife in his unconscious left hand, Swipe lightly on the wood carving with unrecognizable outlines, the marks are sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, and the grasp of strength is still extremely unfamiliar.
Doody was shaving quietly, practicing the control of his left hand while thinking about other things.
…
…
The night flies by.
the next day.
Du Dian woke up on time and found that nicotine woke up earlier than himself, and woke up the maids. Seeing Du Dian going downstairs, Nicotine in the hall looked up and said with a smile: "Master, morning, hot water is ready for you." He looked like a real housekeeper, and his attitude was respectful, and he couldn't pick anything wrong .
Du Dian smiled, finished washing with the hot water and towels handed by the maid, came to the restaurant and sat down, saying: "I'm in good spirits today."
Nicotine said respectfully, "Young master, thank you."
Du Dian glanced at his shoulder and said, "How is the wound healing?"
Nicotine smiled slightly and said, "When you're old, your scars can't heal faster than you young people."
"Sometimes the wound heals too quickly, but the scar is healed and the pain is forgotten." Du Dian smiled and said: "If there is no mistake in the resume, the blessing of God you bought with wealth has already raised your physique to an intermediate hunter level."
Nicotine's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Master, you're overpaying. I'm just a junior hunter, and I'm still a long way from an intermediate hunter."
Du Dian smiled and said: "The junior hunters can't break free from the outflanking of the two teams of trial knights, and even killed four official trial knights."
Nicotine smiled wryly, and said: "Misinformation is all rumors and misinformation. They just want to set my charges higher. I can't kill the judge knight."
"Maybe." Du Dian smiled slightly.
At this time, there was the sound of horseshoes outside. Nicotine said: "It should be the postman who delivered the newspaper. I'll take a look." After finishing speaking, he turned and left the hall, returned from the outside after a while, came back with two newspapers in his hand, and handed them to Du Dian: "Master, Your newspaper."
Du Dian nodded slightly, took over and looked through.
When he flipped through the newspapers, the nicotine slowly receded, and soon a maid brought breakfast milk, fried eggs, and cheese rolls.
Du Dian watched while eating. It was still his own military crossbow that occupied a large page in the financial newspaper. Recently, the border war was tense, and there were many news reports about the border, especially the dynamics of various military items, as well as the military department. The news about the transfer of personnel is being followed by various news agencies from time to time.
"Does the Mellon Consortium want to wait for the limelight to pass before making a move?" Du Dian flipped through the newspapers of the Mellon Consortium. The direction of the Mellon Consortium mentioned above still revolves around the main mining and medical industries of the Mellon Consortium. , these are the two strongest weapons in the hands of the Mellon Consortium, and the competitor of the geology and mining industry is the Scott Consortium. Since the Scott Consortium is the earliest and largest operator of the geology and mining industry, it still occupies the vast majority channels and market share, but in the medical industry, the Mellon consortium can be described as "invincible".
In the three districts of the entire outer wall living zone, the medical industry of the Mellon Foundation occupies more than 70% of the market. Among the top ten hospitals, six are owned by the Mellon Foundation, and one of the remaining four is The Mellon Consortium is a partnership with the Green Consortium, but it will be a matter of time before they are completely annexed.
"The medical industry is the biggest weapon of the Mellon Consortium, and it is also the main reason for its rapid rise." Du Dian's eyes flickered, "If it can hit the medical industry hard, it will definitely hit the Mellon Consortium hard."
He was thinking, quietly flipping through the newspaper.
As time passed, Kaqi, Heiba, Lao Jin and others got up one after another and went downstairs to have breakfast.
"Master, I won't call you Master later on the training ground." Kaqi munched on the meat and said.
Du Dian put down the newspaper and said calmly: "Get up in the morning, don't eat so greasy."
"I like it." Kachi snorted.
After breakfast, Du Dian and Kaqi came to the training field surrounded by stones behind the castle. This is a place for the knights and guards in the castle to train. It is about seven or eight thousand square meters and has various training tools. .
"Your physical fitness is barely comparable to that of an advanced hunter. The only difference is that the magic mark has not transformed again. Those simple subjects for getting started are omitted. Let's go straight to the hard ones." Kaqi grinned and said: "I heard that you are a hunter As a profession, hunters test eyesight, arm strength, and endurance, so let's exercise your arm strength first this morning, and be careful not to break your arm."
Du Dian smiled lightly, his left hand should have recovered, and the sutures had healed.
Seeing that Du Dian didn't answer, Kaqi smiled and said: "Do you know about frogs? In the first lesson, stand upside down in a frog position, bend your hands at 90 degrees at the elbows, and keep your legs together in a line. By the way, you can exercise your balance."
Du Dian smiled and said: "You should know, I have a way to go to the hunter school to know their training subjects, if you teach differently from the hunting school, you know the consequences."
Kaqi's smile froze slightly, and he sneered and said, "Then you go and find out." He was secretly unhappy, but fortunately, he chose to be cautious, and the first frog stand he chose was a project in the hunter school.
Du Dian glanced at him and did as he said.
Kaqi sneered slightly, and said: "Ordinary people whose physique has not improved, the best time for frog stand training is one hour and twenty minutes. Even though you are exercising for the first time, why don't you have to come for three or four hours?"
Du Dian stood upside down, bent his elbows, and ordered: "You can go to expand the training ground first."
Kaqi shrugged, "Don't try to be lazy, I will keep watching you." After finishing speaking, he turned and left.
When Du Dian was training, a carriage was ushered in outside the castle, with the flag of the Green Consortium on it. The one who got off was a middle-aged man dressed in elegant clothes, and expressed his intention to the maid at the door in a friendly manner. The maid immediately entered the room to notify Nicotine.
Nicotine, who was watching the situation on the training ground from the upstairs window, was slightly taken aback when he heard the maid's report, and immediately went downstairs to greet him.
"Hello." Nicotine said with a smile, polite gestures and expressions, "I'm Mr. Du's housekeeper, who are you?"
The refined middle-aged man smiled and said, "On behalf of the Green Consortium, I'm here to visit Divine Envoy Du. I wonder if he's in there?"
"An envoy?" Nicotine was slightly stunned, and said calmly, "It's not convenient for him right now. If there is nothing important, I can pass it on for you."
The elegant middle-aged man smiled and said: "It's an important matter, it's better to talk to him face to face, I can wait for him."
Seeing what he said, Nicotine could only say: "Okay, please." Welcoming the middle-aged man into the living room, he ordered the maid to make tea and serve him.
"I didn't expect God Envoy Du to be so frugal." The elegant middle-aged man swept around the hall after entering the hall, and said with a smile, "If you don't have enough money, please tell God Envoy Du to our Green Consortium."
Nicotine's eyes were gloomy, and he said with a smile on his face: "The young master has always been economical, how dare you bother your Green Consortium for a small amount of money."
The elegant middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "Don't bother. As long as God Envoy Du is willing to sell the new magic to our Green Consortium, even if he is given another castle, it will be a trivial matter."
Nicotine's heart was shocked. He used to mix in the wealthy business class and hang out with some declining nobles. He knew the identity of the envoy. He didn't expect that Du Di'an was not only an envoy, but also an extraordinary envoy. Send someone to take the initiative to please.
He thought that he had looked through the castle and did not see any magical items, and said: "Our young master's new magic has not been completed yet, and it will not be too late to talk about it after he finishes it."
The elegant middle-aged man gave him a strange look. He didn't expect Du Dian to be so loose in his management of his servants, and he dared to intervene in his master's affairs without authorization. But thinking that Du Dian is an envoy of the gods, and he devoted himself to the magic arts, he was relieved to ask these careless questions, but his attitude towards nicotine was a little bit colder, and he thought to himself that if this attitude was changed to his own housekeeper, he would have already appeared. shouted loudly. However, considering asking Du Dian for help in the future, if he sabotages and slanders him, it will not be worth the loss, so he put away his displeasure and said with a smile: "Even if it is not done well, our Green Consortium is willing to make an appointment. The price will definitely Satisfy God Envoy Du."
Nicotine has been a housekeeper for many years, so he has such a keen mind. When he saw the slight smile on the other party's face, he knew that it had aroused the other party's disgust. Could it be that the magic spell created will never be bad? Where does this confidence come from? Could it be that Du Dian has already created the magic spell, but just put it in the temple, and was secretly informed by the Green consortium
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Nicotine pondered silently and said no more.
