Chapter 353 Marcus asks for cigarettes (Part 2)
Marcus was troubled.
So I went to find my wife Safali who had just returned from playing cards in Fluorescent Castle as soon as possible: "Go to Mrs. Meryl as soon as possible and ask her for help to see if you can get 500 boxes of cigars from the cigar factory in advance. "
"How is it possible? I know a little about the current situation of the cigar factory. Not to mention five hundred boxes, even ten boxes cannot be produced. The Yujiuhua family's orders have been delayed again and again. Yesterday, the daughter-in-law of the old Lord Sally was still complaining. Said her father-in-law had to queue up if he wanted to order.”
"What can we do!"
"What's wrong, Marcus, who asked you to buy Yulong cigars? You can't agree. The cigars are making money every day, and they have become the money bag of the Fluorescent Mushroom family. They are also the guarantee for Mr. Russell to develop the Black Fire Land. We Don’t…”
"It's too late." Marcus sighed with a straight face, "I have already promised Minor and the others that I will give them a hundred boxes each."
"Why are you so stupid!" Mrs. Safali complained, "Marcus, you are usually very stable, why today..."
"I don't know either." Marcus said silently.
In fact, he knew very well why he wanted to be a big head, just to make a living for himself.
At that time, he also had the opportunity to choose whether to be loyal to Baron Roman or to the Red Castle. In the end, he chose to stay in the Netherworld Valley. As a level 2 high-level fantasy beast knight, he can be regarded as the best knight in the Grand Duchy.
But his status as an ordinary lord has always made him shorter than the duchy lord.
Especially in the past few years, when no one in the Fluorescent Mushroom family was riding a dragon, not only Baron Roman was ridiculed, but followers like Marcus were also disgraced.
Even the future is bleak, and it will be difficult for future generations to make contributions - without the dragon knights, they can only run away when encountering blue-skinned horses.
Nowadays, the Fluorescent Mushroom family has given birth to dragon knights one after another, with great momentum and a bright future. He finally found a chance to get back in the game.
So why are you willing to give up the opportunity to show off?
"Sigh." Mrs. Safali knew her husband well, "I can go to Mrs. Meryl, but Marcus, you have to think clearly whether it's worth bothering Mrs. Meryl about this kind of thing. That's why they helped us. Say hello to Mr. Russell and accept Musk as your follower.”
There is only a reason for the lord to constantly trouble his subordinates, but there is no reason for the subordinates to constantly trouble the lord.
Marcus naturally understood and sighed: "Then what should I do? Go back and tell Minor and the others that I can't do this?"
I thought his wife would nod and ask him to reject Minor and others.
But Mrs. Safali said: "In my opinion, you might as well go directly to Lord Russell to request."
"This...how could Mr. Russell agree to my request? You also know that between me and Mr. Russell..."
"Listen to me, Marcus." Mrs. Safali interrupted her husband, "Those are just small conflicts between you men. In my opinion, Mr. Russell will not care much about it. After all, he didn't ride the dragon before. , I have already challenged and defeated you.”
Marcus was silent, this was the truth.
Mrs. Shafali continued: "So, he is the winner, and the winner's mind is calm and generous. What's more, it was he who rejected Malena, not Malena and us who rejected him. Do you believe me on this, Mr. Russell? Will keep it in mind.”
"Okay, then what?"
"It can be seen from the fact that he agreed to accept Musk as his follower." Mrs. Shafali said with a smile, "So I asked you to directly ask Mr. Russell. Of course, you can take Musk with you first to thank Mr. Russell. , and then request this along the way.”
He paused and gave his husband time to think.
Mrs. Safali continued: "If you ask him, you can owe him a favor. Marcus, Lord Russell will be very willing for you to owe him a favor."
Hear this.
Marcus finally understood, took a deep breath, and hugged his wife tightly: "Thank you for your explanation, Shafali... You know, I... I just want to maintain face in front of my colleagues."
Mrs. Safali patted Marcus on the back: "We are a family. My husband wants to save face. Naturally, I have to help my husband maintain face."
…
The next day.
Fluorescent Castle began to bid farewell to the guests.
Princess Anxia, Earl Merlin and others could not stay in Youguang Valley for a long time, so they said goodbye to Baron Roman, his wife and Russell early.
Russell personally came to see off several nobles, and for more guests, Uncle Rosen and his eldest brother Roland came to see them off.
certainly.
There are also a group of guests who plan to stay in Fluorescent Castle for a few more days. After finally making a trip, they naturally want to enjoy the scenery.
Russell wasn't going to stay in Fluorescent Castle either, it was too noisy here.
He wanted to return to the Black-waisted Snake Manor, practice quietly, and then set out to hunt the Snow Demon outside the border.
A conversation with his grandfather, Earl Merlin, made the sense of urgency in his heart deepen a lot.
I always thought that if I had enough time, I could develop slowly, and one day I would reach the peak of my life and become a dragon knight. Now it is discovered that the dragon knight is not at the peak, and the entire Longmian Continent is a hunting ground.
"No matter what, since I have come to Longmian Continent and have Little Menglong following me, I will definitely accomplish something big!"
Right now he.
He has a more ambitious goal - to ride on the Little Dream Dragon, counterattack the gate to another world, and visit the Snow Demon's hometown.
"The Snow Demon wants to drain the source of Longmian Continent, so I will drain the source of the Snow Demon World!"
Although he was full of ambition, he had to take one step at a time, so Russell just wanted to practice well at this moment.
When Marcus came over, Russell was saying goodbye to Baron Roman and his wife.
When Russell was about to leave, Marcus came over with his son Musk: "Sir Russell."
"Sir Marcus, what's the matter?"
"Today... I came to thank you for accepting Musk as a follower." Marcus was a little awkward at the beginning, but soon calmed down. Now Russell is a dragon knight, and it is not shameful to bow to the dragon knight.
He was even quite proud.
After all, they are all followers of the fluorescent mushroom family, and Russell has the blood of the fluorescent mushroom family flowing in his body.
"Musk is a good boy. I am still very satisfied to accept him as a follower." Russell smiled.
Behind him, there is another follower, Gronttan Baimaigen.
"Then Sir Russell, please let Musk follow you." Marcus said, "He is not young anymore, he can serve you."
"Will Madam Shafali be willing to let him go?" Russell said. Musk was still young, only twelve years old, and not very successful. "It is better to stay for two more years. Besides, Musk should study in the Knight Academy at his age."
Marcus also knew this: "Thank you for your concern. Musk's arrangement will be subject to Sir Russell's opinion."
After that, Marcus hesitated.
Seeing this, Russell asked, "Marcus, do you have anything else to say?"
Marcus gritted his teeth and told the truth according to his wife's instructions: "Sir Russell, I would like to ask you to buy 500 boxes of Yulong cigars in advance for my friends to take back... They love Yulong cigars very much."
"Well." Russell nodded.
In the past two days, there were many nobles who asked him to buy Yulong cigars.
Even cousin Mel was yelling at Russell to quickly prepare thousands of boxes of cigars for him, so that he could make a fortune in Red Castle and Windrage City.
But he refused them all.
The orders of the cigar factory have been scheduled until next year.
"Logically, I shouldn't agree to your request. The cigar factory is in short supply. Every box of cigars has been ordered in advance, and there is no way to squeeze out the goods for other arrangements." Russell said, this is the actual situation of the cigar factory.
Marcus felt cold in his heart.
But Russell changed the subject: "But Marcus, you rarely ask me once, how can I refuse you."
"Mr. Russell, I..."
"How about this, I will transfer the 500 boxes of Bailu Yulong cigars that cousin Mel ordered before to you, so you can give them to your friends." Russell said calmly, and he was quite happy to see Marcus give in to him, "In addition, I will order another box of Yunwu cigars for you, of course, you have to pay for it yourself."
Hearing this,
Marcus suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and an indescribable gratitude surged in his heart. He solemnly clasped his fists and thanked him: "Thank you for your generosity, Lord Russell!"
