Legendary Hero

In half a month, James came up with a practical filter distillation device, which was extremely cheap. It cost less than twenty-five gold coins in total, and it could purify 300 liters of maple syrup in total. As for the original maple syrup, which costs about one liter per bottle and sells for five gold coins, the cost is three gold coins, and the profit margin is actually not that high.

Now, the maple syrup purified by the new method has been placed in front of Luo Lin. The color is transparent and yellowish, and it is as pure as jade. It is scooped up with a spoon and poured into a bowl. It is as smooth as silk, and it is extremely beautiful.

You don't need to eat it, just look at the appearance, just look at this unique specialty in Maple Leaf Town, this thing is worth a lot of money!

Then, under James' nervous gaze, Rowling tasted a spoonful and tasted it carefully, only to find that the taste was mellow and delicate, and the flavor of maple syrup was a little lighter than before. Very soft.

Luo Lin nodded: "Very good, very good."

This time, he was sitting at the long table in the dining room of the castle, with James next to him, wearing new and clean clothes for the sake of decency.

There were three other people beside him, and one of them was Orda, a master jewelry designer specially invited by Luo Lin from the city, who was well-known in the northern aristocratic circle.

Another person is a gourmet specially invited from Fire Lion City, named Lucinda, a beautiful woman, 30 years old this year, at the peak age of a woman, from her, you can find the beauty of all women Traits, beauty, charm, femininity, elegance, all in one, extremely charming.

The only thing missing is chastity. This is also helpless, Lucinda was born in a commoner family, relying on her beauty to deal with the aristocratic circle, although she is a gourmet, she is actually a social butterfly.

The last one is Angela. She heard about the maple syrup and she just came to watch the excitement.

James was greatly relieved when he heard Rowling's evaluation, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.

The attendant scooped up the maple syrup to Angela and Orda respectively, and asked the three to taste it separately.

Angela didn't care. She squinted a little and nodded repeatedly: "It's delicious, much better than the maple syrup I used to eat. The taste is very soft and not greasy at all."

Orda is a jewelry designer, but this is a gift from the earl, so naturally he has to taste it carefully. After taking a sip, it is indeed delicious. He can't say what is good about it, but he just nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, very good."

Finally, there is Lucinda, this woman has an elegant posture, she tasted it with the tip of her tongue, and then closed her mouth to recollect it. After a while, she opened her eyes and sighed: "This is simply a work of art. After tasting this , other maple syrup can no longer be eaten. My lord, you have made my tongue more picky."

This woman is worthy of being part of the aristocratic circle of the capital city. She squinted her eyes and sighed. She was so elegant and charming to the bone, causing Alda and James to look sideways, but Angela curled her lips quietly, and then adjusted herself carefully. More and more casual sitting posture these days.

Luo Lin laughed, ignoring Lucinda's vague provocation, he knew very well that as long as he nodded, this woman would climb into his bed at night. It would do her a lot of good to her reputation to be able to spend the spring night with a legendary figure who was knighted by force, and she couldn't wait for it.

However, Rowling was not interested in courtesans. He turned to Alda and said, "Master, just as Mrs. Lucinda said, this is a work of art. A work of art should be accompanied by a container worthy of its value, with the greatest The degree reflects the jade-like luster of this maple syrup. As I said in the letter, you don’t need to care about the cost when designing this container, just pursue the ultimate perfection.”

Orda had been prepared for a long time, nodded and said: "That's no problem. In fact, since you asked for it half a month ago, I have already started designing, and now I have three different finished products. I brought them all today. , please take a look."

As she said that, Orda took out three bottles. The bottles were small and could only hold 50 milliliters of maple syrup, but they were really beautiful. This Orda really used the crystal bottles as jewelry. design.

When Mrs. Lucinda saw the bottles, she couldn't help saying, "How beautiful! Like the stars in the night."

Of course Luo Lin didn't understand this. He just looked good, and he didn't want to eliminate any of them, so he asked, "Master, what is the origin of these three bottles? I mean, what inspired you?"

Orda nodded. He had prepared it a long time ago, knowing that the nobles liked this tone, and the more mysterious the better.

He started to introduce one by one, the first one was Fantasy Starry Sky, the second one was Girl's Heart, the third one was Moon of Purity, and then Alda started to talk nonsense, and each bottle lasted more than ten minutes.

During this period, Rowling seemed to be listening seriously, and Mrs. Lucinda had a very interested expression on her face, but Angela kept yawning, showing a lack of interest.

James looked at the Earl, then at the elegant Mrs. Lucinda, and finally at the eloquent jewelry designer Alda. He was immediately confused. He felt the huge gap between himself and the nobles, so he Also listen carefully and prepare to learn.

After speaking for half an hour, Luo Lin nodded in admiration: "Very good. These three designs are all perfect, but I can only choose one. Mrs. Lucinda, which one do you think is better?"

"Oh, it's my honor to offer my opinion, Lord Earl. These three bottles are all perfect. If I had to choose one, I would choose Maiden's Heart. It reminds me of my youthful years."

"Well, when you say that, I feel a little bit moved too. Let's be a girl's heart." Luo Lin nodded, he intentionally turned this purified maple syrup into a luxury for the aristocracy, and the main consumers of luxury goods have always been those Boring aristocratic women, and those aristocratic youths who love them will definitely spend a lot of money to please their sweethearts.

why? Because love is priceless, hehehe~

In the end, Luo Lin bought the girl's heart at a sky-high price of 5,000 gold coins, and then gave the first batch of the most commemorative girl's heart, a total of 50 bottles, ten of which were given as gifts to people from Fire Lion City. Lady Lucinda, the other forty bottles, begged her to give to the Grand Duke Lehman.

Mrs. Lucinda was naturally extremely grateful, and said that she must let the girls in Fire Lion City know the existence of this treasure.

The Earl was very happy, so he donated generously, and presented Mrs. Lucinda with an expensive carriage, with a gift worth 3,000 gold coins, and personally sent Mrs. Lucinda to the carriage.

Mrs. Lucinda elegantly left a grateful kiss on the face of the noble Earl, and returned with a full load. She returned to Fire Lion City with fifty bottles of Maiden's Heart.

Angela dismissed Luo Lin's series of throwing money, James clicked his tongue, and Jonny sighed secretly, feeling extremely worried. Although the master is an earl and has a lot of money, he can't be so extravagant.

The news quickly spread in the upper class of Maple Leaf County. The aristocrats and celebrities secretly smacked at the wealth of Earl Rollin, and at the same time they were also smacked at the price of the so-called Maiden's Heart. A small bottle, fifty milliliters. Price, fifty gold coins!

Yes, fifty gold coins! A price that makes nobles feel a little bit heartbroken. However, after hearing that Grand Duke Lehman of Fire Lion City got this item, he was very happy and gave it to his wife and daughter as a gift. The Grand Duchess was so happy that in the next few days, many ministers could see the smile of this noble lady.

So-and-so Marquis also bought ten bottles and gave it to his lover to win his favor. So-and-so takes a girl's heart as a gift, and it is always beneficial in love. Girls like this thing, and they like this tune.

In the first month, Luo Lin sold a thousand bottles of Girl's Heart and received 50,000 gold coins. As for the cost... No one knows the real cost of a bottle of Girl's Heart, because each process is separate, but as James, the production supervisor, knew it well, because a liter of pure maple syrup cost fifty gold coins, but it could fill twenty bottles of maiden hearts. And the earl gave him 900 gold coins, which was 2% of the net profit.

James knew that the earl had made a lot of money, but he wouldn't say it. To others, he would only say that the production of pure maple syrup is very complicated and expensive.

There is another person who probably knows the tricks, and that is Angela.

"Luo Lin, you are stealing money!" That's what she said to Luo Lin.

"So what? Angela, I didn't force others to buy it." Luo Lin smiled.

In the second month, the sales of Girl's Heart entered a stable period, with 800 bottles sold, but Luo Lin launched a new product called 'Tears of Flowers', and incidentally asked a famous bard to make up a tear-jerking story, It caused the noble girls to shed tears, and then gave generously.

In the end, Tears of Flowers sold 2,000 bottles...

In the third and fourth months, there were new products. People in the Principality began to get used to the existence of purified maple syrup and used it as a sharp weapon for pretense, but the heat was also reduced. The income obtained has become stable, and the monthly profit has remained at around 50,000 gold coins.

This was enough. At the beginning of the fourth month, the total profit in Luo Lin's pocket reached 300,000 gold coins, plus the 200,000 he brought from the Primo family, it was 500,000 gold coins.

This is a huge fortune.

More importantly, in the past few months, everyone knows that Earl Rollin has made a lot of money, and his prestige in the territory has been completely established. It can be seen from the changes in the housekeeper Jonny.

Now, he never doubted Luo Lin's words. When talking to others, he would always say: my lord, and he must say it with his head held high, with an air of honor.

With money and prestige, Luo Lin felt confident and started to take the second step.

Because the territory was hit by a disaster last year and the grain production was greatly reduced, Luo Lin began to issue decrees to buy grain from other provinces in the name of the earl, then sell it at a low price, and at the same time directly exempt from tax for three years.

This step is very simple, just move your pen and write a decree.

Therefore, the citizens are grateful and sincerely support him.

At this time, another two months had passed, and in a total of half a year, Luo Lin took two steps to conquer the hearts of the people in the territory, and truly secured the position of earl.

During this period, Vianna came a total of three times. Each time, she had a secret tryst and left the next morning. Just like before, she always kept the last step. It can only be said that Luo Lin's lovesickness was relieved a little.

During this period of time, the secret connection between his Earldom and Fex Island has been established and perfected. If there is any news from the two sides, with the help of a little thing called 'Little Dragon' provided by Vianna, it only takes three hours. The other party will know.

At this time, the third step can be taken, which is to organize the military and manage the government.

Although the earl can only have a quota of 1,000 fighters and 200 knights, it is impossible to be as lax as in the past. Luo Lin must ensure that every one of his fighters is an absolute elite!

His army is a large group of waste who eat military pay, but it cannot be dismissed out of thin air, because everyone in the army has something to do with it, and the sudden layoff will cause panic among the people and is not conducive to the stability of the territory.

So Rowling needs a reason that no one can refute.

Luo Lin's luck was very 'good'. Another month later, an urgent report came from the north of Maple Leaf County. A small-scale team of frost giants crossed the Goldrin Mountains and invaded the village. Three villages have been destroyed so far, but they were lucky enough to get an early warning. , personnel damage is not great.

When Luo Lin heard this, he immediately ordered the army to be reorganized. Three days later, he personally led the army. A total of 1,100 people went north to fight against the Frost Giants.

At this time, Angela has already practiced the fifth move. In the first move, she has already exerted 20% of the power of dripping water. Now that she has encountered a bottleneck, she wants to experience the real battle and asks to follow. Luo Lin thinks He agreed to keep her safe.

So the army marched north.
