In early spring, the territory is full of life.
Standing at the top of the city and looking into the distance, it is as green as the sea. When a gust of wind comes, the mountain mist is rolling, and the green waves are billowing.
The spring rain that just passed made the sown grain sprout sprouts.
If it were the past, Baron Badma would definitely be in a good mood.
However, at this time, he was pacing back and forth on the city wall a little restlessly, looking a little anxious.
After being introduced by the evil wizard Redmond, he successfully caught up with Tony's caravan, which he had only met once.
The two agreed that Tony would deliver the supplies and he would transfer the funds through Internet Banking.
For this reason, he even gritted his teeth and paid a 30% deposit in advance.
According to the agreed time, Tony's caravan should arrive at the castle at noon today.
However, he waited and saw no sign of Tony.
Even the subordinates guarding the entrance to the territory did not see the flag of Tony's caravan.
"Lord Badma, is this... a scam? Do you want me to..."
A great magician in a green robe came over and whispered, and at the same time made a throat-cutting motion on his neck.
His name is Amos, and he is Baron Badma's right-hand man.
He has always disliked the evil wizard Raymond.
On the surface, he disdains Raymond's research on the evil demon summoning technique, but in fact he is jealous of Raymond's power and takes his position.
"It shouldn't be a scam. The 30% deposit is not a scam, unless..."
Baron Badma's eyes widened suddenly. He quickly opened the Internet and sent a message to his subordinates guarding the warehouse to inquire about the situation.
"Lord Badma, everything is normal in the warehouse."
The news from the warehouse made Baron Badma breathe a sigh of relief.
He couldn't bear it any longer and sent another voice message to Tony, feeling a flash of emotion deep in his heart.
The emergence of the Internet is so convenient.
Especially Internet social networking is simply too practical.
"Hey, my old friend, where are you now? Didn't you say you're almost there? Why haven't you seen anyone yet?"
As soon as the voice connection was connected, Baron Badma couldn't help but complain.
"Dear Baron Badmar, I am indeed almost there. If I am to blame, it is because your castle is too small."
Tony's words were somewhat joking, which made Baron Badma's face darken.
"My castle is indeed small, but my territory is definitely very large. With such a large territory, don't you tell me that I'm lost?"
Baron Badma sarcastically said.
What he said was really not to put gold on his face.
Even though he is just the lowest baron lord, some people would even believe that his territory is a count, because his territory includes a bare mountain range.
"Haha, I'm really lost. Ha, I saw you!"
Baron Badma was startled by Tony's words.
See me
He turned his head and looked around in astonishment. Outside the castle, there was a vast expanse of green farmland, with no place for cover at all.
How did Tony see him
Before the suspicious Baron Badma could ask, his vision suddenly became gloomy.
A huge black spot shrouded the city.
"Look—"
"what is that?"
"Oh my God!"
There was a sound of exclamation in the castle.
Baron Badma's pupils dilated, he suddenly reacted and looked up.
I saw an oval-shaped ship with a huge metal pod buckled at the bottom. Like a dragon-like metal creation, it slowly descended from the sky.
"Airship—"
Baron Badma exclaimed!
As an avid user of the Internet, he recognized what this creation was at a glance.
But this could not diminish the shock deep in his heart!
Why did the magical creation of the Internet God suddenly appear here
Could it be... Could it be that the God of the Internet is preparing to attack the countries of Carmen and Manchester
Before he could turn around and escape, a teasing voice came from the air:
"Hey, dear Lord Badma, I'm so sorry. It was so foggy in the mountains that we overflyed! Damn it, we didn't realize we overflew until we reached the Capella Ridge! By the way, hurry up and prepare some manpower to carry it. The goods, my time is very tight, I will leave soon."
Baron Badma was stunned.
I couldn't believe my ears.
Does this airship belong to Tony
This...how is this possible
In shock, countless thoughts came to my mind.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and turned around to tell his subordinates to prepare to receive the goods.
- It's not that he's not afraid of fraud here, but he's just a low-level baron. The most powerful force in his hand is Raymond, the evil magician who was recruited halfway and whose origins are unknown and who doesn't listen to his instructions.
How could he resist
There is no way to resist!
Therefore, he had no other choice but to secretly ask his right-hand man, the great magician Yamos, to take him out of the castle as soon as possible if necessary.
In front of the castle gate, the airship slowly landed.
Baron Badma came over to receive the goods with a large group of trembling servants.
Through the wide open door of the pod, Baron Badma could see that it was filled with cargo.
In addition, there are a small number of magic puppets hanging in every corner of the airship.
Tony, who had met him once before, jumped down from the pod with a smile on his face. While scolding the servants, asking them to be careful not to damage the pod, he walked towards Baron Badma, opened his arms, and gave it to him. gave a warm hug.
"Haha, Lord Badma, how are you doing lately?"
"not bad!"
"You can see that you made a lot of money in Kesadoum, right? It's really enviable! I'm not as lucky as you. I was born to work hard and can only run around."
Tony laughed at himself, but there was no trace of frustration in the depths of his eyes.
On the contrary, when he looked at Baron Badma and the castle behind him, there was a faint feeling of looking up to him like a noble gentleman coming to the countryside.
Although his father was only a baron.
"It's just a little hard-earned money! By the way, this airship... is yours?" Baron Badma asked impatiently.
"It would be great if it was mine! I don't have the money to buy an airship. To be honest, this is Master Ajeev's airship. I just paid to hire it."
"Hire?" Baron Badma was stunned.
"The generous Lord Ajeev opened a dragon logistics company... Yes, it is a company, similar to a chamber of commerce. Dragon Logistics accepts everyone's employment to transport goods, so this airship is considered to be hired by me."
Tony didn't hide it either, and there was no way he could hide it.
Although it hasn't spread on the Internet yet, any businessman who has been to Viais knows that this can't be hidden for long.
"Okay, let's quickly take stock of the goods. I'm very pressed for time. Hiring this airship charges by the hour."
Tony urged again.
While digesting the sudden news, Baron Badma ordered his subordinates to inspect the goods.
Tony is very honest in his business.
There are just a lot more goods.
Baron Badma was very satisfied after counting, so after paying the price, he looked at the goods still in the airship pod and couldn't help but said: "What is in here? Don't get me wrong, I mean, I Can I buy some more goods?”
"Of course, but you have to wait a few days. The goods here have already been reserved."
"Okay, as per the old rules, 30% deposit?"
"good!"
Baron Badma heard this and quickly told his subordinates to withdraw money from the treasury.
"Wait, you want to pay in cash?" Tony interrupted Badma's action.
"That's right. Is there any problem?"
"Oh my god, of course there is a problem! If it's cash, I only accept pure gold, or hard currency magic materials, and the deposit must be 10% higher." Tony looked disgusted and embarrassed.
"This joke is not funny! Did I pay in cash?" Baron Badma felt ridiculous.
"Lord Badma, I'm not kidding! You don't know that the magicians in Kvir only accept bank transfers, not cash. In order to trade, we can only deposit money in the bank. Do you know how troublesome this process is? "
Tony expressed his bitterness:
"You will know if you have been to Viais. Viais bank branches have opened five windows, and people queuing up every day can still line up outside the city gate! How can we have so much time to queue? So whether we let the servants queue up , or spending money to buy an account, it’s a lot of money, even if you want to exchange money from a big business, you have to find a trustworthy relationship, which is very troublesome.”
"Also, they only recognize the currency minted by the Carmen and the United States. They only recognize silver coins and gold coins. They have to check the gold content one by one. Those with serious wear and tear will not be accepted at all. Even if they are slightly worn, they must be discounted. This is another sum. Intangible expenses.”
"In addition, you also know that money deposited in the bank earns interest. The 30% deposit you paid me is not just that much, it also includes interest. If you pay me cash now, I will lose this part of the interest. After calculating these accounts, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that we know each other, I wouldn't do this business at all, so charging you a 40% deposit is already based on the face of an acquaintance."
Baron Badma listened to Tony clasping his fingers and reciting the twists and turns like a treasure trove, and his whole body felt bad.
A terrifying thought echoed in my mind.
The gold coins I worked so hard to store in the vault... are they worthless
