The Black Knight from the Blue Planet

Listening to the lord's words, the surrounding lords glared angrily.

How dare he eat alone in these profitable businesses?

And even if you don't do white paper business, normal public affairs still require a lot of white paper.

If you really let this guy buy it all, wouldn't you have to ask for a price increase again when you need it?

As he spoke, the lord also felt the glares of the people around him, but he didn't care.

Making a lot of money will inevitably lead to jealousy. The most important thing is the profit at hand. Do other people’s opinions matter?

Hardy smiled and said, "You can't eat it."

These words made the other party stunned: "How many do you have?"

"Many, many!" Hardy smiled.

The technical ability of white paper is not very high. As long as it appears, it can be produced quickly by reverse engineering.

In two years at most, other regions should be able to produce blank sheets of paper.

So Hardy more or less guessed what Tisna would do: create a regional monopoly. Monopoly is the most profitable.

Thanks to the semi-automated assembly line and the low-cost labor of a large number of gray orcs, the cost of these white papers is extremely low.

But transportation in this world is a big problem. As the distance from the place of production increases, transportation costs rise to an exaggerated degree.

Sea shipping is slightly better.

Therefore, the blank sheet of Louisian County can only achieve monopoly in a large area.

This is also the reason why Tisna set the price so low. She wants to ensure that no new paper mills are created in the large area, so that the business of such a large land tower belongs to them.

Moreover... Tisna also has the idea of ​​selling paper technology to other countries far away.

Technology patents can be very expensive and cost a lot of money.

Hardy can think of these business measures, but if he is asked to implement them, he may not have such a clear idea.

Business matters are actually quite troublesome and test the executor’s ‘emotional intelligence’.

Hardy actually lacks this.

Especially as he becomes stronger and stronger, he is more inclined to use hard power to solve problems.

Listening to Hardy's answer, the surrounding lords were obviously relieved.

It looks like these white papers will stay cheap, which is a good thing.

After that, they focused on what was on the paper.

After watching it for a while, most of them nodded. They all agreed with the above arrangement.

But one piece of data was a bit outrageous, and many people gradually began to whisper.

Finally, a younger lord, about thirty years old, couldn't help but asked: "Your Majesty the Queen, Lord Hardy, the lord of Hukaro City, why can you capture us with only 3,000 troops?" Double the petals of the world tree.”

Hardy actually saw this data too.

He knew that this was Queen Sissi's 'care' for him.

But will such an obvious preference arouse others' suspicion?

Queen Sissi smiled calmly and said: "First of all, the cavalry under his command are all heavy cavalry. In terms of combat effectiveness ratio, three thousand heavy cavalry is equivalent to 30,000 infantry. You should have no objection to this."

No one spoke.

They knew very well that the cost of training a light cavalry was at least as much as ten ordinary infantry.

The training fee for heavy cavalry is even more expensive.

So in fact, what Queen Sissi said was somewhat conservative.

Seeing that no one had any objections, she continued: "In addition, Mr. Hardy is a Nightmare Knight, and his strength is comparable to that of the brave Ryan Lind. He has the ability to form an army by himself, and everyone has no objections to this, right? .”

In fact, after Hadi's sudden rise, all the lords investigated him.

I also know that the brave man, the holy girl, and Hardy are all young.

Now the three of them have been collectively known as the Three Heroes of Hexi County. I don't know if that place has been blessed. It is simply outrageous that three young strong men can appear at the same time.

Hardy raised his head and smiled: "Your Majesty, my strength is far less than that of the brave."

"You don't have to be modest." Her Majesty the Queen smiled: "The episode that happened during the Aijaka Civil War, if it weren't for your rescue, the brave team would probably have been reduced in number. From this point of view, you are already on par with the brave. .”

Looking at Queen Sissi's expression, Hardy knew that no matter how much he said, others would not believe it.

Simply shrugged and said nothing.

In fact, there is still a certain distance between him and the brave.

Hardy's growth rate is quite fast, but the growth rate of the brave man and the holy girl is not slow either.

Hardy has grown from a weak boy to a man who can see the two of them from behind.

It will take some time to really catch up with them.

None of the lords spoke. In fact, except for a few people, others still didn't agree with this in their hearts, but they couldn't find anything to refute.

Hardy looked at the expressions of everyone around him. On the surface, there was no joy or anger, but inside he was quite helpless.

He is not very interested in the petals of the World Tree, more or less does not matter.

But this world is very particular about 'aura'. If you give in at this time, other nobles will think that you are 'easy to talk', and more troubles will come to your door in the future. The thought of giving up at that time is not limited to now. That's it.

So now, he can't shirk it, but has to show the attitude of 'that's how it should be'.

Everyone looked at Hardy's age and thought about his strength, and they all stopped thinking about causing trouble for him.

Hardy was too young, and he himself was old. After his death, the other party was in his prime.

They think they can compete with Hardy, but their own children cannot.

At that time, the young man who was still in his infancy faced Hardy who was in the prime of his life, and he was still beaten.

If you don't do it right, your family emblem will be revealed to you.

Then the gain outweighs the loss.

As for Hardy, that's it.

The lords tacitly decided to let the matter go.

Then someone suggested: "Since the queen wants to use the strength of the army to measure how many petals she can get, then I have something to say."

Queen Sissi had already guessed that this would happen. She smiled and said, "Please tell me."

"I think the lowland heavy swordsmen like me can't compare with the Silver Winged Cavalry, but they are also top-notch soldiers. We can only get these petals. It's unreasonable."

The Queen nodded: "Your Majesty Allen is right. In that case, how about we renegotiate the allocation of petals?"

All the lords nodded and said good things.

They believe that their true strength deserves more petals.

Just when everyone was coming forward and talking, Hardy was retreating until he was outside the crowd, leaning against the wall, looking at the red-faced lord in front of him with an attitude of watching a show. them.

"Sir Hardy, long time no see." A female voice sounded next to him.

Hardy turned around and found that it was Susan Butale, a marginalized figure among the lords. (End of chapter)
