Born in a Desperate Place

he Wind Sword Saint Skaz came to the fat man, and the magic bow in his hand was full of praise, but he did not mean to return it at all. The fat man is a person who has been rolling in the officialdom for so many years, where will he not know what the other party wants to do? So he pretended to be serious and said: "Respected Duke Kaz, in fact, your praise is really a bit excessive, after all, this bow is still newly developed, although it looks very good, but maybe there is something wrong with it." I thought, in order to comprehensively check the characteristics of this bow, can I trouble you to study it for a few days, how? "

Although the fat man said it politely, in fact, everyone present knew that they were afraid that this bow was going to be kept forever by the Wind Sword Saint Skatz.

"For the benefit of the kingdom, I am duty-bound!" The Wind Sword Saint Skazi was also very cognizant, and immediately said righteously.

The Swift Wind Sword Saint Skaz was extremely talkative next, and directly sent away the people of the Augustus family, and gave all the bow and arrow procurement tasks of this year's troops to the workshop of the Stephen family, not only that, but he even asked for an additional batch of magic bows to equip a group of the most elite archers. Of course, the fat man explained in advance that the magic bow in the future would definitely not be better than this one, because this was specially made by the master.

Wind Sword Saint Skaz naturally immediately asked who made it. At this time, the fat man whispered in difficulty, "Thunder Master!" "

As soon as he heard that the bow in his hand turned out to be the newly emerged master's work, the jaw of the Wind Sword Saint Skaz was still hanging down. You know, the Stephen family's auction house shocked the continent. Naturally, it was impossible for him not to know what price the master's work was sold for, which was a sky-high price of hundreds of thousands of gold coins! As a commoner-born aristocrat with no foundation, he would never want to get so much money in his life, unless he dared to devour military salaries. But that is obviously unrealistic, after all, the current Gryphon Kingdom is still in an unstable period, and from time to time it has to use troops to fight, so the royal family's treatment and control of the following troops are very strict, with the identity of the Wind Sword Saint Skatz, greedy is not a big problem, but if you want to swallow hundreds of thousands of gold coins. ^^Something is going to happen.

As soon as he thought that he had received such a big gift, the Wind Sword Saint Skaz felt that the things in his hand became hot, and secretly decided in his heart to send this thing back quickly after playing for a few days, but he didn't dare to really ask for it.

The fat man also saw his unease, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Lord Duke doesn't need to care, presumably you also came out, although this bow is a good thing, but the actual power is limited, actually." It is also just a master's practice, not the work of the master himself, so the master does not even sign his name, so it is not worth anything at all! "

Heard this. The Wind Sword Saint Skaz was slightly comforted. After the next business was done, the fat man smiled and left, and Kaz did not keep it, and after sending the fat man away, he hurried to the palace. He must report to His Majesty what happened suddenly today.

I was enjoying afternoon tea in the garden, and I heard that the Swift Wind Sword Saint Skaz asked to see me. The emperor immediately smiled and said, "It seems that there is news!" Oh, I'd like to see if your family can eat a little meat from Stephen's mouth this time! Ha ha! "

"No matter how much, I have to thank Your Majesty for your brother's care!" The queen immediately replied with a smile.

"Hehe, we are husband and wife, I don't help you help anyone!" The emperor said hypocritically.

The queen immediately smiled happily. It's just that both of them actually know in their hearts that if there is no interest, they will do it. The emperor will not be so generous.

Subsequently, the emperor ordered the people below to invite the Wind Sword Saint Skatz. Soon, the Wind Sword Saint Skaz came here. For this sword saint, the emperor still respected it, personally stood up with the empress to greet him, and then asked him to sit down. ^^^^ served a fine cup of afternoon tea. After some politeness, he asked, "How?" Will the tender end so quickly? "

"Yes. It's over! Wind Sword Saint Skaz replied immediately.

"And what was the result?" The emperor immediately asked curiously, "How much share did each of the two families take?" How much has the price been pushed down? "

"Your Majesty!" Wind Sword Saint Skaz smiled bitterly and said, "The share was all taken away by the Stephen family, and the price not only did not decrease, but increased by fifty percent!" "

"What?" The emperor, the empress was stupid when they heard it, they never expected this result. The emperor hurriedly asked, "How so?" Didn't the Augustus family compete? "

"They participated!" Wind Sword Saint Skaz said.

"Is that the quality of their bows or arrows as bad as before?" The emperor asked again.

"No, the level of the Augustus family's bow and arrow is indeed almost the same as that of the previous Stephen family, but it is almost the same, and it will not have much impact!" Wind Sword Saint Skaz said honestly.

"In that case, why do you give all your share to the Stephen family? And also added fifty percent of the offer? The emperor was suddenly puzzled.

"Because the Stephen family made a stronger bow!" Wind Sword Saint Skaz smiled bitterly: "After this kind of bow appears, the previous kind of bow can be completely scrapped!" That's why I decided and gave all the orders to the Stephens family, and I accepted their request for a price increase. "

"Huh?" When the emperor and the empress heard this, they were all taken aback, the emperor didn't care, the empress couldn't stand it, and hurriedly asked: "Lord Duke, are you sure that the Stephen family's bow is a brand new breed?" And will it be as good as you say? "Yes, I'm sure!" Wind Sword Saint Skaz nodded and said, "If you don't believe it, you can take a look at the sample I brought!" "

"Where's the sample?" The emperor hurriedly asked.

"Outside, you know, according to the rules of the palace, I can't come to see you with a weapon!" Wind Sword Saint Skaz said.

"Bring it in!" The emperor then ordered the guards outside.

Soon, two steel bows were in front of the emperor. The emperor himself is also a master, has a deep understanding of bows and arrows, picked up these two steel bows and adjusted them a little, and immediately understood everything. Then he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The Stephen family can actually create such a strong bow, and even freely attach magic." God, the teacher really deserves to be the most famous alchemy grandmaster on the mainland, and his shot is really extraordinary. No wonder you'd rather pay a high price to give the order to the Stephen family, you did a good job this time! "

"His Majesty Xie praised!" Swift Wind Sword Saint Skaz nodded slightly, then hesitated slightly, and then still said: "Your Majesty, I heard Duke Stephen say that the magic bow was from the hands of the Thunder Master, I suspect that this casting technique of the Stephen family was also taught by the Thunder Master, and has nothing to do with the teacher!" "

"Thunder Master!" After the emperor listened, he suddenly realized, "Ah, yes, yes, it should be him, it is said that Master Thunder also held an auction in the auction house of the Stephen family, and at that time I felt that he had a relationship with the Stephen family, plus this time, I am afraid that I can be sure!" Heck, it's really getting more and more amazing in the Stephen family, there was a family powerhouse like the teacher to protect it, and then there was a freak like little Stephen, he even recovered a sword saint, if you count the Thunder Master, hehe, it's really amazing! "

"Huh!" Wind Sword Saint Skazi did not dare to answer, so he had to laugh dryly twice, and then hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I still have to go back and carefully study the application of this bow on the battlefield in the future, so I won't disturb your time!" With that, he stood up.

"Hehe, then you go busy, it's really hard for you!" The emperor encouraged.

"Don't dare to behave, it's all my responsibility!" Swift Wind Sword Saint Skaz hurriedly said politely, "Then, Weichen retreats!" With that, he picked up the two sample bows, turned and retreated.

As soon as the Wind Sword Saint Skaz left on his front foot, the emperor turned around and shrugged helplessly at the empress, and said with a bitter smile: "Honey, you also saw it, it's not that I don't help, it's true, the Stephen family is not so easy to deal with!" "

"Your Majesty, I know your difficulties, but you must know that in order to get this order, my brother has almost smashed all the bottom of the family into it, and now his warehouse is full of materials such as animal horns for making bows and arrows, if these things are smashed in your hands, oh my God, I am afraid that our family will go bankrupt!" As the queen spoke, she couldn't help but cry.

"Oh, I can't help it?" The emperor said helplessly, "I can't force the military department to buy the bow and arrow of the Augustus family, right?" If that's the case, Wind Sword Saint Skaz will definitely be the first to refuse! "

"But you can't see death without saving it?" The queen hugged the emperor's thigh and cried: "The Augustus family has been fighting for the griffin kingdom for hundreds of years, and the total number of men in the family who died in battle has exceeded a thousand, and now, are you watching us go bankrupt?" "

Speaking of this, the emperor was indeed embarrassed and desperate, he thought about it, and finally said helplessly: "Otherwise, I will write a warrant to allow your family to traffic that batch of materials to the Bright Empire as soon as possible." They obviously can't get enough metal bows in a short time, and at least for the next few years, ordinary bows will remain their primary weapon. So they still need these materials, and you may be able to earn a little! "

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" When the queen heard this, she immediately said excitedly.
