Moriel nodded and smiled at Xu Kuang:

"Since you said that, I'm going to ask. I want to ask, the business here is developing so rapidly and the people live and work in peace and contentment. As a result, it will inevitably attract refugees from around you. When your territory reaches the population limit, , what should you do?".

Xu Kuang smiled slightly and said:

"Just stop taking them in, or raise your title before the population reaches the upper limit."

Moriel was silent, then she nodded and said:

"I understand. I will go back tomorrow. I hope you and I can have more cooperation.".

Xu Kuang smiled and said:

"Aren't you going to stay longer, Earl?"

Moriel shook her head and smiled at Xu Kuang:

"No, there are still many things in my territory. By the way, the first batch of wood is expected to arrive soon. You can send someone to hand over it by the river."

"riverside?".

Xu Kuang suddenly realized that the Pearl River was full of water, and water transportation could also be used. The Pearl River, which is hundreds of meters wide, can give Mushroom Ridge unlimited convenience. It can go further afield to buy iron ore at low prices, or open freight and passenger transportation. In short, it can make a lot of money.

Xu Kuang is also a little heartbroken. If there is oil, he can make a lot of money through the Pearl River. If there are enough manpower in the future, it will not be a problem to monopolize the shipping on the Pearl River. This is another person with an annual income of hundreds of thousands or even A project worth millions of gold coins.

Xu Kuang saluted Moriel and said:

"In this case, I have prepared some small gifts, and I hope the earl will accept them."

Moriel smiled and said:

"What a small gift?".

Xu Kuang cleared his throat and said with a smile:

"100 pieces of 128-count cotton cloth, two shops, a mithril chiming clock, 1,000 kilograms of spirits...".

The things Xu Kuang gave were many and miscellaneous. The cheap things were mixed with valuable gifts. All in all, if calculated based on the selling price, Moriel gained nearly 100,000 gold coins after walking around here.

However, Moriel had no interest in this. She simply said thank you and put the gift list into the storage ring.

Xu Kuang secretly screamed, he miscalculated, he forgot that gifts are also gender-specific. If these things are given to male lords, they will definitely gain favor, but they cannot be given to female lords, because most of them The lordess was not interested.

Xu Kuang thought for a while and said:

"Yes, I will give you something separately. I hope you will accept it."

Moriel looked at Xu Kuang in astonishment and asked:

"what?".

Xu Kuang said:

"Please look."

Xu Kuang took out a women's watch from the space ring and handed it to Count Moriel.

This watch is entirely silver, with a pattern of flower branches and leaves engraved on the strap. As your wrist shakes, it looks like the branches and leaves are swaying in the wind. On the dial, a golden flower is carved with gold thread against the background of mithril. daisy. A storage array was engraved on the watch body by Xu Kuang, and a brave-level dimensional cutting spell was also sealed.

Xu Kuang made this watch very carefully because he wanted to give this watch to Hathaway, but now he has no choice but to reimagine a better one.

Moriel took the watch and was immediately attracted by its exquisiteness and beauty. She asked:

"What is this?".

"This is a watch. You can use it to tell the time, and it can also be used as a storage bracelet. I have also sealed a dimensional slashing spell. You can activate it by pouring mana into the hands."

Moriel looked at Xu Kuang in astonishment and asked:

"You did this?".

Xu Kuang nodded.

Moriel was a little shocked. Making a storage bracelet is something that only a brave alchemist priest can do. Xu Kuang can actually do it? How old is he? eighteen? nineteen?

Suddenly, Xu Kuang had another flash of inspiration. He could also make jewelry. This thing can make money much faster than any kind of cloth.

For example, to issue cards, make several sets of molds, stamp them on a lathe, and then polish them. If you use iron, the cost may not cost five copper coins, so how much can you sell? Is there anyone who buys the wholesale price of 50 copper coins? There must be some. If the output of this thing increases, at least tens of thousands can be made a day...

Not to mention high-end jewelry made with high-end materials, novel designs and alchemical methods. You can only buy an entry-level model with a few hundred gold coins. If you want high-end jewelry, you have to customize it, starting with tens of thousands of gold coins.

Xu Kuang's ideas developed.

Moriel was stroking the watch lovingly, but she didn't notice Xu Kuang's strangeness.

Suddenly, a group of people came from the direction of Baihua City. When they got closer, they found Xu Kuang and two people.

Viscount White Birch jumped off his horse and saluted Duke Morel.

At this moment, Viscount Baihua's gums were about to burst. He had just seen Count Moriel stroking the watch and couldn't put it down, and he immediately realized that something was wrong. Xu Kuang had already begun to bribe Moriel.

Moriel looked at Viscount Bai Hua in astonishment and asked:

"What are you going to do?".

Viscount Baihua smiled and said:

"Nothing, I'm ready to duel with him.".

Viscount Baihua pointed at Xu Kuang.

Moriel frowned. She protected Xu Kuang behind her, looked at Viscount Bai Hua angrily, and asked:

"Veric, what are you going to do?".

Viscount Baihua was almost furious, but he still had to endure it and said to Moriel:

"According to the laws of the kingdom, I can challenge him.".

At this time, Xu Kuang said to Viscount Bai Hua:

"I agree. I will decide the time. In five days, you will decide the place."

Viscount Baihua looked at each other in surprise. He originally thought that the most difficult part was to get Xu Kuang to agree to the duel. Unexpectedly, the most difficult part had been solved now, which surprised him. He said to Xu Kuang:

"Okay, here on this battlefield, it's big enough for us to spread out."

Moriel turned to look at Xu Kuang.

Xu Kuang said to Moriel with a sad face:

"Earl, if I die, I hope you can take in my cronies, and I can pay you the fees in advance..."

"The time is changed to ten days later! Both of you stay calm. After ten days, the challenge can be canceled at any time.".

Viscount Baihua’s teeth were about to break and he cursed angrily:

"Xu Kuang, you shameless bastard, do you really think you will win?"

Xu Kuang still looked sad. He looked at Moriel and said:

"I'll go back and prepare first.".

Oscar-winning actor Xu Kuang still performed stably today.

Moriel looked at Xu Kuang's lonely back and chased after him.

Viscount Baihua couldn't catch up, because Xu Kuang told the guards before entering the Mushroom Ridge Pass that he would not let him go if he encountered Viscount Baihua.

However, Viscount Baihua did not catch up.

Viscount Baihua turned his head, looked at the counselor, and asked:

"Sir, what do you think Xu Kuang is doing?"

The counselor shook his head. He didn't understand either, but he always felt that something was not right. He seemed to be stuck in the opponent's rhythm.
