Sergei eventually managed to purchase three five-hundred-year-old tin oaks for one hundred and eighty gold coins.

Tin oak is the best material for making oak shields, and buying three tin oaks at this price, Sergei is actually not at a loss.

It's just that the money earned is not so much, and if you round it off, it is actually a loss.

After the business was completed, the administrator, who looked very snarky, accepted Sergei's gold coins with a smile, and looked much kinder.

This administrator was one of the administrators of Veronica's territory and managed the territory's finances.

Sergei knew that the Count of Veronica had recruited several administrators, which meant that there would be many people living in the territory.

This is a nobleman with great ambition.

Sergei realized this, both the displaced people who were attracted to it and the members of the dragon slaying adventure group who had been burning the forest, indicating that the Count Veronica was trying to expand his territory.

He wrote everything he had investigated on a piece of paper in so small that it could only be seen with a magnifying glass.

He then placed the paper in a metal cylinder and stuffed it into the stomach of a swift flying eagle.

This is a creature transmitted by the secret guards, flying very fast and very hidden.

Sergei secretly released the swift flying eagle, which knew the way to the headquarters of the secret guard.

Continue the investigation to see if the political leanings of this Count Veronica were in favor of the emperor or the entire aristocratic class.

Sergey decided to continue his investigation here, and the guards generally judged in all walks of life whether the nobles showed signs of plotting a rebellion.

Of course, if Sergei wants to stay here, there must be a reason, and the purchase of those precious timbers is his reason for staying here.

Sergei spent the past few days observing the trees in the forest, and his professionalism as a timber merchant is also very good, after all, if he is not professional enough, he will be suspected.

Sergei picked out a hundred-year-old black nanmu, which is so rare that if it can be cut down and pulled into a big city, it will definitely sell for a price.

Then he had to negotiate with the snarky administrator, all the trees in the forest belonged to the local lord, Count Veronica, and anyone who tried to cut down trees without permission would basically be hanged.

Sergei could only buy a logging permit from the magistrate, and one permit could only cut down one tree specified.

"Black nanmu, that's a very precious tree, how about one hundred and fifty gold coins." The administrator said with a smile.

Sergei took out a small bag of gold coins and put it in the hands of the administrator, "Can it be less." "

There are twenty gold coins in that bag, and if they are used to bribe the administrator, they can make the administrator set less when setting a price for the black nanmu, such as making the black nanmu that originally cost one hundred and fifty gold coins a tree to one hundred gold coins.

After all, the gold coins sold by the black nanmu will only enter the lord's wallet, and the administrators will only get the salary issued by the lord.

In this way, Sergei was equivalent to spending twenty gold coins to bribe the administrator, and then he was able to save fifty gold coins to buy the black nanmu.

Coming and going, it is equivalent to earning thirty gold coins.

But the administrator simply pushed the bag of gold coins back to Sergei and did not accept the bribe.

As administrative officials who serve the nobility and manage the affairs of the territory for the nobility, generally they absolutely dare not embezzle, and the nobles are not fools, when the nobles check the accounts, if they find something wrong, the administrator is the first to be punished.

This administrator also knew that his lord, Count Veronica, was only a thirteen-year-old girl, but it was absolutely impossible to deceive her.

The nobles who can subdue such a powerful adventure group as the Dragon Killer Adventure Group are definitely not ordinary.

"The price of this black nanmu is one hundred and fifty gold coins, and there will be no bargaining." The administrator said firmly, and a full meal filled his heart very clearly.

Sergey can only choose to close the deal.

With the logging permission stamped by the administrator, Sergei could legally cut down the black nan, of course, only that one.

Sergei found five able-bodied workers and brought tools such as axes and saws to cut down trees.

The density of the wood of black nan wood is very large, and ordinary swords can only leave a white mark on it.

Sergey asked the workers to cut a small gap in the trunk of the black nan tree with an axe, and then sawed constantly on this gap with a saw.

The workers worked from day to night before sawing a huge gap in the trunk.

At this time, the black nanmu is in a weak equilibrium, as long as you cut a little more, this black nanmu will fall on its own because the trunk cannot bear its own weight.

Sergei first approached the black nan tree and carefully observed the wood of this black nanmu.

The wood is very good, without any traces of being eaten by insects, and there is a very beautiful pitch-black pattern on the black nanmu.

Sergei felt that he had made a lot of money, the quality of this black nanmu was very good, and he was sure that he would sell this black nanmu for a large price.

Although Sergei is a secret guard, but also a timber merchant, although his salary as a secret guard is large, but if he can make more money from the timber business, Sergei certainly does not mind doing it.

The bigger the business, the more money you make, the more nobles you can contact at that time, and the more information you will naturally obtain

"Pull down this black nanmu." Sergei asked the loggers to tie ropes to the trunk of the black nan, and then with a single pull, they could pull the black nanmu down.

It stands to reason that this would have been the case.

But a sudden gust of wind blew over, causing a little problem in the direction in which this black nanmu fell.

This black nanmu fell in the direction of Sergei, and the tree more than twenty meters high fell with a huge weight.

Sergei was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously fled behind him.

He made the mistake of fleeing in the direction of the left and right when cutting down the tree, rather than running behind him.

He didn't remember this until the black nan wood pressed against Sergei's body.

The density of black nan wood is very large, if a black nan tree falls, it is no less than a boulder directly smashed on the body, Sergei was smashed to death on the spot, the bones were all broken, like insects that were shot to death, and all the internal organs were squeezed out.

The lumberjacks on the side were directly stunned in place, and the black nan wood did not fall towards their position, so only Sergei was killed.

"It's bad, he hasn't paid us yet!" A lumberjack slapped his thigh and thought about it.
