After hearing Rhodes' talk, Metz showed a surprised expression. His somewhat uncertain ’s stared wide-eyed, staring at the dark-haired youngster in front of him, seemed to be trying to figure out his real thoughts, but soon, Metz gave up this stupid and meaningless. Behavior, because from the face of Rhodes with almost no expression, he can't see the real idea of ​​this youngster.

"What trade?"

In the end, Metz still did not restrain his curiosity, can't help asking. It's no wonder that although he is not currently in debt, he is only one step away from bankruptcy. Even if the transaction to Golden City is successfully completed this time, Silver Libra will be seriously hurt. If someone else puts forward this condition, Metz might even hesitate to see if it is a trap. But this sentence came out from the Rhodes' mouth, but he did not feel any accident/surprise at all.

"Since you have heard about our Starlight Mercenary Group, then you should also be very clear, what did we do to Golden City this time?"

"This is of course, Mr. Rhodes."

When it comes to this matter, Metz immediately gave a thumbs up.

"Speaking of this, I would like to congratulate you first. Oh, I really did not expect that Mr. Rhodes is really powerful, originally is going to dissolve Mercenary Group, who knows that it is now the number one hot spot of Parfield Area? Frankly speaking, I I really admire Mr. Rhodes, if I also have the ability like you, then the Chamber of Commerce is not so half dead ......... "

"Since you know it, it's easy to say."

Hearing the praise of Metz, Rhodes slightly nodded, he glanced at everyone around him, then continued.

"I think Mr. Metz should also be very clear. If we can be promoted to Mercenary Guild, our current situation alone is completely unable to meet the requirements. Mercenary Guild needs a certain level of assistance, but in Parfield Area, I did not What a good candidate, originally, I am still worried about this matter ... But now it seems, Mr. Metz, are you interested in this? "

"This ..............."

Hearing this, Metz was stunned for a while, and his complexion immediately became much uglier.

"This matter, I ........."

"Of course, I won't let you do it in vain, and I am well aware of the current situation of your Chamber of Commerce. After all, you have already told me personally just now ... I don't need you to just pay for nothing ... … If you are willing to accept my invitation, then we Starlight Mercenary Group can take out a batch of magic potion to your Chamber of Commerce for sale every month, how ??

"magic potion?!"

Hearing here, Metz almost fluttered his legs and jumped from the ground like this, but in the end his weight still restricted the businessman ’s performance. Fat Merchant ’s body just wobbled, and ultimately failed to complete this super high Difficult movements, but even so, the eyes of Metz is also rounded, and it looks as if it will soon fall out of the eye socket.

It ’s no wonder that Metz will be so excited. magic potion is more expensive than gold for businessmen. In the past era, magic potion is very common. But now, because of the battles that lasted for hundreds of years, many magic potion formulas have been lost. Most of the current potion recipes are stored in the hands of Alchemy Association. Most people cannot get simply, only Mage and those Great Noble can start through certain channels. For others, magic potion is simply an unattainable myth. Even the cheapest magic potion is enough to keep up with the price of a high-level gem.

But even so, there are still many people who magic potion It ’s because of this, magic potion The price has remained high. Because not only make magic potion The raw material itself is quite difficult to find, even the formula itself is difficult to find, and alchemy technique The success rate is also very low. Not to mention Alchemy Association Strict control of recipes is not done by anyone at all. Labise Although there were alchemy Apprentice skill , But failed to receive Macbeth Mercenary Group It is precisely for this reason that as alchemy Apprentice, she does n’t know much about the formula, if not Rhodes Then came up with what he recorded in the game, by player Improved potion Recipe, just rely on Labise I'm afraid I can't make a bottle of my own abilities in another three to five years.

Metz of course also knows that Rhodes has a lot of magic potion. After all, there are so many Starlight Mercenary Group people. Everyone carries a few bottles of potion. This kind of thing is naturally enviable, jealous, and hated by others. It's just that Metz didn't think much at that time. After all, he thought he still knew a little about Rhodes''s life experience. After being a Noble, it was not difficult to get a few bottles of magic potion. It ’s just a waste to use these mercenarys.

But now it sounds like things are not as simple as Metz thought before. Since Rhodes dared to promise to give himself a batch of magic potion every month, it means that he has enough channels to get these things. Come to Metz, you have to think about it. After all, magic potion is a huge profit, even if Rhodes only gives himself 20 bottles of ordinary magic potion and Metz every month, he can be sure that he can completely turn around and come back in only half a year!

But now, he has to worry.

"Frankly speaking, Mr. Rhodes, your proposal really surprised me ..."

Metz carefully considered his own words and said cautiously, fearing to anger the youngster in front of him. Although he knew that Rhodes was not a simple person, but for someone who can take out dozens of bottles of magic potion every month, this is not too simple.

"But ... forgive me for being rude, why is it me? I'm not afraid of your jokes, Mr. Rhodes, I'm not indifferent to your condition, to be honest, when I heard you say that, I almost nodded. But ... … Please let me bluntly, as you said, I know exactly what is the relationship between Mercenary Guild and the Chamber of Commerce. But frankly, although our Silver Libra is a bit influential in Parfield Area, we are not that powerful. To be honest , I think ......... We really can't afford such a heavy task. "

Metz is also true, Mercenary Guild and the supporters behind him are in the same line. This is true both politically and economically. All other Four Big Mercenary Guildss have deep-rooted forces and connections, and their interests have long been deeply **** with the forces behind them. Compared with them, the Silver Libra of Metz is like a small sapling among the towering trees, which is not comparable at all. It's no wonder that Metz will feel huge pressure. This is like a local chain operator going to fight against the giants of multinational companies. There is no chance of winning in any way.

When hearing Metz, Rhodes was not surprised and angry. On the contrary, after seeing Metz ’s position, he was secretly nodded in his heart.

I have to say that although Fat Merchant does not look reliable, he is actually a very self-aware person. Rhodes is very clear that if the chips they just put out are in the eyes of most businessmen, they may have decided regardless of the three-one-one-two decision. After all, in any case, this represents a huge profit. But Metz was able to recover immediately after the initial surprise, which shows that he is also a very assertive and sensible businessman.

But because of this, it has strengthened the idea of ​​cooperation between Rhodes and him. Only those who are not blinded by interests can qualify as their allies. And for those who are swaying or even abandoning their principles because of their immediate interests, since they can trust you because of their interests, they can also betray you because of their interests. For such people, Rhodes is definitely not needed. Only those who insist on their own opinions and understand their status like Metz are the ideal collaborators.

Metz said that he has no foundation and is not suitable to be a Rhodes' collaborator. But he did not expect it at all. This is the fundamental reason why Rhodes chooses itself.

Mercenary Guild survives on the forces behind it, so that they who have received funds and political assistance will gradually lose their independence, and they will gradually change from the original towering tree to the other tree trunk. Climbing upward vines. This is also the reason why those forces fund Mercenary Guild. They expect to have strength to protect their own interests. To put it bluntly, Mercenary Guild is like a private mercenary of these forces.

But Rhodes does not want his starlight to follow this path. It is true that Parfield Area has better supporters than Metz. For example, the Keller Family family and Krause have vaguely expressed this meaning to Rhodes. But Rhodes did not agree, he did not expect his Mercenary Guild to become a private mercenary of Parfield Area, but became the actual dominator here. Listening to people's orders is not his habit and hobby.

Because of this, economic independence is very important.

But for Mercenary Guild, economic independence is the most difficult, because their income is uncertain, and the risk is also high, plus in order to maintain their dominant position, most Mercenary Guild will choose to absorb more Manpower, as a result, has also made the financial burden even more serious. Because of this, these Mercenary Groups either choose to rely on local political forces to maintain their dominance, thereby reducing expenditures in this regard. Either choose to rely on Major Chamber of Commerce, use their funds to recruit people and protect their own interests.

No matter what kind, the final result is to eat people soft mouth, take short man hands ———, then there is no need to say more.

But Rhodes is different, he has other resources that guild does not have, that is alchemy Pharmaceutical, Labise now levelMAX Alchemy Skill can quickly produce potion, and then coupled with the improved formula given by Rhodes, one month now Labise Can produce 30 to 50 bottles of cured potion, and more because of her Alchemy Skill level bonus, and Belhems Clan's special talent, the effect of these cured potion is twice as good as those ordinary potion on the market, even to say so No matter how many injuries you have, as long as you can breathe, then you can be rescued.

It is conceivable that such a cure potion will be sold on the market and will certainly be able to sell sky-high prices.

But although Rhodes has such a good resource, he lacks the necessary means. After all, selling potion is a time-consuming and energy-intensive task. Rhodes's current main focus is on the management of Mercenary Group, and can't afford to spare any spare time to do these things. Because of this, he will find Metz. As a small business association operating in Parfield Area, Metz must have its own commercial network, even if this commercial network is not large, it is enough to digest the magic potion provided by Rhodes. After all, these are ready-made commercial network, the scale of operation is already mature, and if you let Rhodes do it yourself, I don't know how much time it will take to improve.

In this way, Silver Libra of Metz needs potion provided by Rhodes, and Rhodes' Mercenary Guild can also be maintained by funds returned from the Chamber of Commerce. In this way, the two sides can maintain equality in status, and there will be no problem of short-handedness and soft mouth. And because Silver Libra does not cover the influence of the entire Parfield Area, Rhodes does not have to worry about how to grab the site from the other party, it can complement each other and achieve a win-win result.

Of course, these are all the intentions of Rhodes. For Metz, he naturally has another comment.

"I can understand your mood, Mr. Metz."

He clapped his hands, then shrugged his shoulders.

"But because of this, I think you are my most suitable partner. You said that your Silver Libra has not been able to cover the influence of the entire Parfield Area, how is it? My starlight was also unknown before. The road is all made by people themselves. I believe that if we both cooperate, we can get a more ideal result. "

"This ..............."

After hearing Rhodes say this, Metz can't help but hesitated again. Although he did n’t know the real idea of ​​deep in Rhodes's heart, Metz also understands that if he can get a good relationship with Rhodes, it will be of great benefit to the development of his chamber of commerce. . At least in Parfield Area, he no longer has to worry about anything. However, Metz was not worried about these issues. What he worried about was what the rest of Four Big Mercenary Guilds and the forces behind them would do to themselves.

"About Four Big Mercenary Guilds, I do n’t think you need to worry about it."

Rhodes seems to have seen through the idea of ​​Metz, and soon started talking.

"If something like this happens, then it ’s OK for us to deal with it. I ca n’t guarantee that Mr. Metz ’s Chamber of Commerce will have any losses, but I can at least guarantee that at any time, our starlight will be with your Chamber of Commerce Stand together. If Mr. Metz thinks this risk is worth taking, then ............... "

Speaking of this, Rhodes stopped meaningfully, staring at Fat Merchant sitting next to him. When he heard Rhodes' talking, Metz was silent. He looked at the bonfire in front of him, his eyes flashed with a complicated expression. Eventually, Fat Merchant sighed, and then stood up with difficulty.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rhodes, this is really a very important question. I can't answer you now ... please let me think about it."

"No problem, Mr. Metz."

Although there is no affirmative answer, this is also expected by Rhodes'. The businessman's cautious character has been taught as long as he walked with Dusk Forest. Although this character will make people hate the itch in adventure, he has to admit that for a businessman, proper self-control and Smart thinking and judgment are very necessary choices.

"I understand your hesitation, so I won't force you to make a decision. You can think about it carefully, and my invitation is still valid until the end of the Midsummer Festival."

"Thank you."

After hearing the words Rhodes, Metz smiled bitterly towards Rhodes, then he turned around and walked towards his camp with his feet deep and shallow. While walking, Fat Merchant shook his head and sighed, it seems that he has not been able to recover from it.

Looking at the back of Metz, Rhodes is silent. And at this moment, suddenly, a slim and slender figure came out.

"How is it? Master? Did you move?"

Vivian shook the ears on the head and the tail behind him, and could n’t wait to show Rhodes asked, but in the face of the girl ’s inquiry, Rhodes shook his head.

"Although I have made a move, no one knows what will happen next. I hope Mr. Metz can understand this ... Anyway, at least for now, I cannot find a better cooperation than him. The author. "

"Do you really trust that fat man?"

After hearing Rhodes' answer, Vivian curious blinked.

"Master, although you have had an experience before, people will change? Even if they have shown a worthy of your attention between life and death, but after returning to their daily lives, they still Will you choose to wear a mask and go back to the old days? "

"Of course I understand what you mean, Vivian."

Rhodes withdrew his gaze, at this time the back of Metz had disappeared into the carriage on the opposite camp, disappeared. There, only a few guards can be seen vaguely standing beside the campfire guarding the cargo on the carriage. The rest of the people have already begun to rest at the moment.

"But I still decided to give him a chance, he can agree to my proposal, then naturally it would be better. But if he refuses, then for me it is nothing more than a little troublesome. This trouble For me, it is still being calculated. "
