The Black Duke of the Pirate

The decoration inside the house is very simple and relatively clean and tidy. Some finished maple leaves are hung on the four walls. The maple leaves are carved into different shapes and form decorations in the house, so that it does not look empty.

Reinhardt walked in, took a brief look and then sat down. Rosen made tea for him. The tea was fragrant. After drinking it, he realized that it had a unique taste, which was very similar to the taste of maple leaves.

"Is this... a maple leaf?" Reinhardt asked, holding the tea cup.

Rosen nodded calmly: "Maple leaves can be made into tea after they are dried, and they can also be made into good spices."

“Why have I never heard of this being used?”

"Of course you haven't heard of it, because this method can only be mastered by a few nobles in the Maple Leaf Kingdom."

After hearing this, Reinhard held the cup and pondered for a long time. It seems that there are still many uses of maple leaves that have not yet been discovered. He once accidentally used the water brewed by maple leaves to make wine, and then he realized that the wine brewed had such a peculiar aroma.

That’s why Hero White is so popular in Beihai and even around the world.

The scent of maple leaf tea floated in the room. Reinhardt pondered how to take advantage of this huge business opportunity. Maybe in this world, the circulation of tea is far less than that of wine, but spices are different. People have to eat.

, spices are used when eating.

"Master Rosen, I come here with sincerity." Reinhardt said softly, then clapped his hands, and two guards came in carrying two boxes one after another.

Rosen looked at the wine and other valuable gifts in the box, then turned his attention to Reinhardt again. After looking at him for a long time, he said, "If I don't agree, will you kill me?"

"No." Reinhardt shook his head, "Although I have killed many people, I have never killed any civilians. The souls killed by my sword are mainly pirates, gangsters, and nobles."

Rosen kept silent and kept looking at Reinhardt with a scrutinizing gaze, as if he didn't believe what he said.

"It seems that Master Rosen still doesn't believe what I said. If you ask this question, you should be worried that if you don't agree to my request, I will definitely threaten you with your students."

Seeing that Rosen remained silent, Reinhardt smiled softly and said.

"Isn't it?" Rosen was slightly stunned and replied subconsciously.

He did think so. The aura he felt from Reinhard just now was not only fierce and domineering, but also had a strong smell of blood that he had never experienced in his life. Therefore, he was very worried about treating life with such extreme indifference.

For humans, killing a few people at random is commonplace.

"Hehehehe..." Reinhardt suddenly laughed, "You obviously overestimate your own importance, and you even underestimate me, Reinhardt."

"If I want to kill someone, I will never find a reason, let alone use threats and other despicable means."

"Besides, my principle of never killing civilians cannot be broken by this."

After Reinhard finished speaking, he stopped talking. He took the tea cup and drank tea slowly.

Rosen was kept silent for a long time by Reinhardt's words. It must be said that Reinhardt in front of him seemed to be so candid that he was surprised.

This guy... seems to be riding a tiger in a difficult situation. Rosen thought to himself.

Although he has lived in Maple Grove all year round, it does not mean that he does not know everything that is happening in the outside world. After Reinhardt became the Duke of Porcarlia, in just three years, Porcarlia has undergone such a big change, especially the nobles.

They were reintegrated by him and would never oppress civilians again.

More importantly, he really made Porkarlia a country that would never starve, with no more refugees. Moreover, after the Kingdom of Utan was merged into Porkarlia, the situation of Utan was the same as before.

Like Asia, it is quietly changing.

Therefore, he had no real resistance to Reinhardt's move to capture the Maple Leaf Kingdom, and the hostility he showed before was just a test.

Faced with this situation, he began to waver from the bottom of his heart.

"What do you want me to do?" After a while, Rosen answered softly, as if he had made a decision.

"Just continue to do your old job, cutting maples and making maples. I will set up a maple leaf company specifically for the development and sales of maple leaf tea, maple leaf spices, and maple leaf decorations." Reinhardt said slowly, "You

will serve as chief technology officer of this company."

"Since they are resources gifted by nature, they need to be properly utilized. Wouldn't it be better to completely transform these resources and improve the living standards of the people in Maple Leaf Kingdom?"

"I understand what you mean, but this maple forest may not be able to support the sales of your Maple Leaf Company." Of course Rosen is happy to do this. Resources are wealth. Rather than handing these things over to the Tianlong people every year, it is better to use them to improve the lives of civilians.

level.

"So this requires the help of Master Rosen, to unite all the maple makers in the Maple Leaf Kingdom to study maple trees that can be artificially cultivated. In this case, we can cultivate a huge wasteland specifically for the production of maple trees.

Plant." Reinhardt smiled and told him his initial thoughts.

After listening to Reinhardt's words, Rosen sighed slightly and shook his head, "Since it is a gift from nature, how can it be cultivated so easily."

It seems that Master Rosen has obviously tried, but failed.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. If you don't try something thousands of times, how can you be sure it's not possible?" Looking at Rosen's expression, Reinhardt said with a smile.

The two discussed together for a long time, and the sun gradually set before they knew it.

Rosen led Reinhardt as they walked deep into the maple forest. The maple trees here were obviously thicker, taller, and denser than those seen outside. Every tree was covered with green leaves.

.

"Let me try to chop off a piece..." As soon as Reinhard finished speaking, Rosen immediately shouted: "No!"

But as soon as he finished his words, Reinhardt's blade had already passed through a thick branch. With a slight click, the maple leaf immediately fell down.

"What's wrong?" Reinhardt was very confused. He didn't understand why Rosen stopped him just now.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw that the fallen maple leaves suddenly withered and began to rot.

"This is..." Reinhardt was very surprised, but what surprised him even more was what happened later. He saw that the maple branch that Reinhard had just cut off began to wither at the smooth cut position, and it withered at a speed that could not be seen by the naked eye.

It can be seen that it has spread to the entire maple tree, but in just ten seconds, this maple tree, which is more than 30 meters high, has completely withered.
