The dragon lady doesn't like the lord

If you conquer the Ice Wolf Tribe, subsequent battles will be very simple. When attacking the enemy, just choose a full moon night.

Add to that the terrifyingly powerful Filia to form a demi-human team, and the strength of the territory will be greatly enhanced.

By uniting his knights and swift archers, he can truly compete with those powerful nobles.

"Lord Ron, Moon Shadow Spirit Crystals are too rare, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to meet your needs. Of course, don't worry, we will find all channels and do our best to help you gather them."

Most of the materials were fine as they were already available in Winter City. The remaining rare materials could also be purchased from merchant partners. However, things like the Moon Shadow Crystal were extremely scarce, and he did have them in his own hands.

But the number is too small, so it may take some effort to find them.

Moon Shadow Spirit Crystal is the main material for making the secret medicine that allows the Ice Wolf to transform and awaken. Ron certainly knows that it is scarce.

But as long as it's enough to make two potions, it's fine.

"Just try to gather as many as you can."

Ron didn't force it, after all, this thing was indeed scarce.

The conditions for the production of Moon Shadow Spirit Crystal are also extremely harsh.

Only when there is a clear spring that is illuminated by moonlight every day and there is spiritual crystal material at the bottom of the spring, there is a very small probability that it will be bred.

This is also the reason why it is scarce.

"Lord Ron, we will do our best to help you get it together."

Faced with such a powerful lord, they dared not neglect it and planned to go back and use their connections to try to make acquisitions everywhere.

"You guys figure out the price."

"Okay Lord Ron, we will definitely give you a price lower than the market price."

Under normal circumstances, they can make 30 to 40 percent profit from the sale of materials.

But today, the two chose to earn only about 10% as a reward for their hard work.

If the man in front of them forces a lower price, they have no choice but to choose not to make any money at all.

If you lose your gold coins, you can earn them again. If you lose your life, you can be reincarnated.

Soon, the two listed the unit price, total price, and market price of all the supplies one by one.

"Lord Ron, here are the prices of all the supplies, please take a look."

After calculating the price, Antoine respectfully handed the account sheet to the man.

"Ah."

Ron nodded, took the account sheet, and took a quick look. All the supplies were 20% to 30% lower than the market price.

The total market value of all the supplies is more than 20,000 gold coins.

The price I gave myself was over 16,000.

Ron had previously estimated how many gold coins would be needed to purchase these supplies, and it would be more than 20,000 gold coins.

Unexpectedly, after such a drama, the price dropped by 5,000 to 6,000 gold coins.

Of course, this deterrent effect can only be achieved if Wilson Gray dies in front of them.

Otherwise, these ruthless businessmen would not give up their profits so easily.

"Lord Ron, we just discussed it. We didn't prepare any gifts for our first meeting. I will give you the remaining few hundred gold coins. I hope to make friends with a gentleman like you."

Bandlu and Antoine thought it through. Although the profit was a little thin, they would still make money if they could do business for a long time.

Moreover, the two of them had a vague feeling that as long as they reached a friendly cooperation with the man in front of them, they would have a chance to eat meat in the future.

"Bandlu, Antoine, I have made friends with you."

Ron didn't act pretentiously, after all, the other party showed enough sincerity.

This is how business works. Only when there is give and take can it last long.

"Fiona, take out the 6,000 gold coins you got from Wilson Gray and give them as a deposit."

This was seized last night. Although it’s not a lot, it’s just enough for Ron to buy supplies now.

"Yes, Master~"

After receiving the order, Fiona pinched the hem of her skirt, bowed respectfully, and left.

In front of outsiders, she would behave like a normal maid, not bringing shame to her master, and not bringing disgrace to the Leonard family's reputation.

Privately, that's another story...

"I plan to use iron ore to offset the remaining 10,000 gold coins. What do you think?"

Where did Ron get more than 10,000 gold coins now? If it weren't for the 6,000 gold coins seized, it can be said that he would have no gold coins in his pocket.

And among the more than 6,000, more than 1,000 were from the knights, and Wilson Gray's treasury only had more than 4,000 gold coins.

But he was considered wealthy. After all, his territory had been almost fully developed, and he still had so much left, which was already pretty good.

"Since Lord Ron has spoken, then of course there is no problem."

Under normal circumstances, such a deduction would require a large amount of interest, after all, it is not cash.

But there was nothing they could do since the man in front of them was so strong, so they didn't mention it.

In this way, an iron ore mortgage agreement was reached through mutual friendly negotiations.

Ron will provide iron ore worth 10,000 gold coins within one year.

Although they had lowered the price a lot before, Ron didn't always let them suffer a loss, so he added an extra 2,000 gold coins of iron ore.

However, he is only responsible for mining. As for how to transport it to Winter City, that is not his business.

It would cost at least more than one thousand gold coins to transport iron ore worth more than ten thousand gold coins from the valley.

By this calculation, Ron is actually just a hands-off manager, not taking care of the transportation at all.

Bandlu and Antoine naturally had no objections, after all, there was an extra iron ore worth two thousand gold coins.

They can make another profit by selling it.

Although a year is a bit long, at least there is profit to be made, and this way we can establish business dealings with the other party.

If I have any other needs in the future, I will inform them. I can make a lot of money by interacting with them.

Ron wanted to keep them for dinner, but Bandlu and Antoine did not choose to stay. They prepared to finish their work and transport all the supplies over. It would not be too late to attend the banquet then.

"The owner is really amazing. He actually let them voluntarily give up such a huge profit."

After the businessman left, Fiona looked at the man on the sofa and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Then she licked her lips and couldn't help but tease:

"It seems that although the master is weak in some areas, he is still quite strong in this aspect."

She didn't expect to be able to get the price so low, which was equivalent to picking up thousands of gold coins for free.

And Fiona found that the man in front of her was actually quite handsome when he was serious, but he was also a little fierce...

"I'll let you know tonight whether I'm strong or not."

Ron felt that his maid was becoming more and more despicable. Verbal education was no longer effective and she needed to be disciplined with a stick.

"A maid will never let a bastard master succeed~"

Fiona pouted and gave the man a look of disdain.

Now she just appears calm on the surface, but in fact she is so nervous that her body is shaking, because she is afraid of being treated like that...

But for some reason, deep down in my heart, I feel a sense of anticipation.

Seems to be expecting that to happen.

"When everything comes naturally, it won't be up to you anymore."

In fact, in the morning, Ron could clearly feel that his maid was a little confused.

If I made a request, she would probably just give a symbolic rejection.

Then let yourself be treated harshly...

Ron thought it was not the right time before, but now it was a natural thing to do. He had to punish this scumbag maid so that she would not dare to say such things next time.

"A master who only forces his maid is the most disgusting~"

Fiona could clearly feel that the man in the past was probably joking and meant to tease her, but today his burning gaze seemed to penetrate her.

Bastard Ron, now I can't hold back at all~

But how can he be allowed to succeed in this kind of thing...

Although her expression was full of disgust, she couldn't help but bring her knees together and rub them gently when she thought of the morning teaching....

How can the bastard master~

dong dong dong-

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and with it came Alman's voice;

"Master Ron."

"come in."

Ron was not displeased at being disturbed, because he knew that if his Knight Commander came to him, there must be something going on.

And he already had a guess in his mind.

"On the mountain road 20 kilometers outside the valley, we found a team of more than 300 knights heading this way."

Alman reported the enemy situation he saw truthfully.

Although the situation was somewhat urgent, his voice remained calm and he was not panicked.

"W-what, is there an enemy???"

Before Ron could speak, Fiona's eyes widened, her expression obviously flustered.

She didn't expect that the enemy would come right after she won a victory.

I was anxious and wondering what to do.

"Arman, go and gather all the knights immediately."

Just as Ron expected, enemies were coming, and these enemies were most likely the noble coalition of the Northern Alliance.
