king of the castle

Chapter 132 Capital Market

Roger was very surprised, and quickly asked: "Could it be that you can't handle the king?"

"It's not His Majesty's problem." Anna shook her head and said, "Many people will object to him rewarding you properly."

"Why is this again?"

"Because..." Anna was hesitant to say something here, but she quickly made up her mind and said, "Because you are Rosberg and I to the king's people, and...you were with Massa when we were at the Linton Pass. They teamed up to deal with Wade, he is a member of the military department. And the Minister of Military Affairs, Vatel, was at odds with my father, so..."

Hearing what Anna said to Roger, he understood that this matter was still a factional struggle within the kingdom.He belonged to Anna and Rosberg, after all, and was rightfully assumed to belong to Hamilton.Now that the king wants to reward Roger greatly, the Minister of Military Affairs and others who disagree with the Duke's political views will naturally try their best to oppose it.

"I understand what you mean." Thinking of this, Roger smiled slightly at Anna: "This is dirty politics."

Anna originally thought that Roger would be very upset when he knew this, and maybe it was possible to turn against her immediately.After all, Anna once promised Roger that she would get enough benefits for him, and Roger seemed to care about these people, and now she suddenly told him that the previous promise might not be fulfilled, which would inevitably make Roger very dissatisfied.So now, seeing Roger look calm, and say "dirty politics" with such a profound meaning, Anna's impression of him has improved a lot.

Although Roger didn't seem to care much about it, Anna felt even more guilty.She didn't dare to be alone with Roger anymore, and said to him as she walked out: "Don't worry, I will try my best to fight for you what you deserve no matter what."

"Anna..." When Anna walked to the door, Luo Jie stopped her loudly.

Roger's voice sounded very disappointed, which made the Duke's daughter soften her heart. She couldn't help but stop and turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

In the room, Roger looked at Anna pitifully, with a distraught expression on his face: "Be sure to talk to the king tomorrow, the happiness of my lower body depends entirely on you!"

What Roger said made Anna turn around and leave without saying a word, until she left his room, she sighed inwardly: "For a while, I thought he had improved, but he is still a money addict!"

Anna went to the palace early the next morning, and Roger stopped the Duke's daughter before she left the mansion, and insisted that Anna bring more guards.

Of course, Roger did this because he was worried about those undead creatures sneaking into human society.Ana has no self-defense ability and has a high position. She is undoubtedly one of the best targets for those undead creatures, so Roger insisted on her doing so.

Anna knew that Roger did this because he cared about herself, so she followed his advice with secret joy.As Anna left the Duke's Mansion with three times the number of guards than usual, Roger also felt relieved. After eating something casual, he took a servant to lead the way to the market in Mandos City.

After a night of fermenting, the news that Roger had hugged Anna last night but was not punished had spread throughout the Duke's mansion.Now even a fool would know that this Mr. Li had an absolutely different position in Miss's heart, so the servant was very respectful to Roger, and specially prepared a carriage to take him to the market in the east of the city.

As the capital of the kingdom, Mandos City has an astonishingly large market in the east of the city. Naturally, the goods traded here are also dazzling and dizzying.You can buy goods from almost all parts of the Emma mainland here, and even goods from overseas islands are often seen.If you can afford the price, even slaves of intelligent races such as elves and dwarves can be bought here.As for those animals, the materials on the monsters, magic crystals, and even rare magic props and various potions can also be bought here.

Roger came today mainly to buy some iron hoofed rhinoceros hides, so that he can build a primary armor factory as soon as possible.This kind of material obtained from black iron-level monsters is not uncommon. Several merchants in the market are selling iron-hoofed rhinoceros hides, but Roger was taken aback when he asked the price.

Each iron hoof rhinoceros hide was actually sold for more than [-] gold coins, which was far beyond Roger's expectation.The materials on such a black iron monster like him are not worth that much money at all, ten or so gold coins a piece is worth it.Unexpectedly, this is not the case at all, and it also made Roger understand that the nearly thousand gold coins in his pocket are quite a lot, but in fact they are not enough at all.It might be okay to be a rich man in the countryside with such a small amount of money, but it is far from enough to live a comfortable and luxurious life.

"You have to find a way to make money!" Looking at the price of the iron-hoofed rhinoceros hide, Roger thought of making a lot of money for the first time after he came to this world.

The servant who accompanied Roger to the market saw him staring at the iron-hoofed rhinoceros hide in a daze, and immediately guessed that he must be shy, so he quickly said to Roger in a flattering way: "Mr. We'll go back and get it if we need it."

Had it been a few days ago, Roger would have agreed to the servant's suggestion.After all, the Duke is a big family, so he doesn't take advantage of him.However, since those intimate contacts with Anna last night, Roger's mentality has changed a little.He felt that no matter how useless a man was, he shouldn't be supported by his own woman, and he absolutely couldn't take anything from the Duke's mansion.

So the servant's words helped Roger make up his mind, and he quickly bought six high-quality iron hoof rhino hides.Although spending hundreds of gold coins for this made Roger a little distressed, it was worth it after all to save the man's face.

It took [-]% of his property to buy such a few things, which made Roger give up the idea of ​​continuing to visit the market.The consumption here is too expensive, and you can't afford good things, so it's better not to waste your time.

Roger asked the servant to walk back with the goods he bought, at this moment the castle hub suddenly shouted in his mind: "Stop, the goods sold by the man in the corner, hurry up!"

Roger went to the corner, and found a ragged young man standing there with an irregular stone in front of him.Perhaps it has been too long, and the original color of this stone has disappeared.After getting closer, Roger realized that judging from the shape of the stone, it seemed to be part of a human statue.

From the fact that the statue was broken for some unknown reason, the part contained by this stone should be the base of the statue plus two legs, and there is nothing else about Roger.

On the other hand, the castle hub seemed very excited, and immediately said loudly to Roger: "Quickly ask how much this thing sells for!"
