The Dragon Girl would never like the Lord.

After the carriage stopped at the castle gate, Bandel and his companion walked into the courtyard.

I was surprised again by the decorations inside.

They felt that although the valley was not large, it had everything they needed, and many things were cleverly designed, making them feel very comfortable.

"Lord Ron."

"Lord Ron."

Upon entering the castle, they saw a man seated in the main seat. The two quickly removed their top hats and bowed to express their due respect to the nobleman.

Under normal circumstances, merchants do not need to pay respects to nobles who have not yet been formally ennobled.

But the man before them was different. Both Bandel and Antoine believed that he was destined for high office and noble titles.

Moreover, they were forced to bow down due to pressure from the stronger party.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Bandel, Mr. Antoine."

Seeing their respectful bow, Ron didn't continue to stand up and said with a smile:

"You must be tired from your journey. Please sit down and have a cup of hot tea."

In aristocratic circles, black tea is generally preferred, and black tea is also divided into different grades, which some aristocrats who enjoy tea can taste.

Ron didn't know much about tea; as long as it wasn't too low-quality black tea, he thought they all tasted pretty much the same.

"Then thank you very much, Lord Ron."

Bandel and Antoine set their top hats aside, sat down, and took a sip of their tea.

"Lord Ron has excellent taste. This black tea must be a specialty from somewhere; it has a smooth and fragrant flavor."

After taking a sip, Antoine couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

“You’re right, this was picked from the Misty Forest.”

During this period, in addition to loggers, gathering teams also went to the Misty Forest one after another. Some berries and tea leaves were picked and then processed into tea.

"Lord Ron, have you also entered the Misty Forest?"

Upon hearing this, Bandel couldn't help but ask another question.

"You went in too?"

"No, we don't have that ability."

Bandel waved his hand and then spoke:

"I heard that many lords have recently entered the Misty Forest, and most of them have made some gains, but I also heard that a few lords suffered heavy losses in there."

There are no secrets in the world, especially things that happen within one's territory; they spread very easily.

Just like the previous incident where Ron killed Wilson Gray, the news had already spread among the various pioneering lords.

Almost everyone who heard the news was shocked, stunned, and incredulous.

In the end, I felt a sense of admiration.

Ron chatted with the merchant for a while longer, and after confirming that all the goods were complete, he brought out a box;

"Take a look at these gems and see how many gold coins they're worth."

These were all leftovers, usable and useful ones, and Ron took them all.

The rest are just decorative items that look nice but are not very useful, and are favored by noblewomen.

Preliminary estimate: worth around 10,000 gold coins.

The amount of supplies acquired this time is also around this figure, which means it just balances out the books.

Chapter 166 Mass Production of Various Magic Potions! The Daily Operations of a Scoundrel Maid!

"Lord Ron, I've calculated the market value of these gems for you; they're worth around 13,000 gold coins."

After a thorough inspection, the two finally gave a price for the box of gems, and then gave a number;

“I’ll give you 12,500. The other 500 is for our hard work.”

They didn't really intend to make money on this trip, and kept the profit from transporting the supplies to within 10%.

Under normal circumstances, the profit margin is above 40%, and for some special cases, the profit margin can be several times higher.

But when facing Ron, this young lord, they only dared to collect a small portion of the profits as a reward for their hard work.

"Let's set it at 12,000. After all, it's not easy for you to come all this way, so we can't let you suffer a loss."

Although Ron was a strong-willed person, he also knew that businessmen were profit-driven and could not let others not make any money at all.

If that were the case, it would be dangerous.

Although businessmen may not have much power, they are knowledgeable and know many people, so they might cause trouble for you somewhere.

Moreover, the price they offered was unimaginable to others.

It's really just earning a little bit of hard-earned money.

"Thank you, Lord Ron. You are a very generous gentleman."

The two expressed their heartfelt gratitude, as they had expected the man in front of them to ask for an exorbitant amount, but to their surprise, he was surprisingly accommodating.

This is something no one expected.

After deducting the 10,000 gold coins used to purchase supplies, the two ended up giving Ron 2,000 gold coins.

As they left with the boxes, they were all smiles, saying that they could contact them anytime if needed, and a carrier pigeon would arrive immediately.

Ron had a good impression of the two merchants; at least there hadn't been any problems with the transactions so far.

"Fiona, bring all the supplies I need to my room."

After the merchant left, Ron prepared to start making potions. Once he created the potion that would allow the bloodlines of the Ice Wolves and Centaurs to revert to their ancestral forms, subduing these two tribes would be just a matter of time.

"Yes, Master~"

Fiona lifted her skirt and bowed, then went to the supplies storage area to sort out the necessary items.

Ron, on the other hand, returned to his room, lay down on the sofa, closed his eyes to rest, and waited for the materials to be brought up before he began to seriously make the potion.

Next, at least fifty potions need to be made, which is no small number and will consume a lot of energy.

I spend almost the entire day holed up in my room, busy with other tasks.

Meanwhile, Fiona gathered the materials, put them into two boxes, and carried them up to the second floor of the castle.

Normally, a maid wouldn't be able to lift a box weighing over 100 pounds, but because Fiona had practiced swordsmanship since childhood and had taken the full version of the Holy Knight's Potion, she easily carried the two large boxes upstairs.

"You bastard master, everything you wanted is here."

After placing the box next to the long table, Fiona immediately placed her round, pert buttocks lightly on the soft sofa.

"it is good."

Ron nodded in satisfaction, then took out the materials from the box one by one, sorted them out, and then began to prepare to mix the potion.

“Fiona, I think your ass can get off my sofa now.”

However, there is one more thing to take care of before that: the maid needs to be sent out.

He prefers a quiet, undisturbed environment when making potions.

Ron was afraid he would be distracted if his own wretched maid were around.

"You bastard master, you're already kicking the maid out after only sitting down for a short while!"

Fiona lifted her round, pert buttocks off the sofa and gave the man in front of her a disdainful look.

"Fine, I'll go. Just don't beg the maid to come back later!"

Damn Ron, I won't bother him if I'm here.

Why do you want to leave?

pat-

As the door closed, the room became unusually quiet.

Ron took a deep breath and began to carefully prepare each potion.

He was extremely careful when doing this kind of thing, so as not to make the slightest mistake.

After all, these were bought with money, and each one is precious.

After an unknown amount of time, Ron, having finished making the potion, stretched, lay down on the sofa, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Looking at the bottles of potions in front of him, Ron smiled with satisfaction.

There were thirty bottles of potions in front of him that could revert the bloodline of the Ice Wolf Clan to its ancestral form, and fifteen bottles of potions that could revert the bloodline of the Centaur Clan to its ancestral form.

The potions are ready, and we can have Shemir lead the team to make contact with the Ice Wolf Clan another day.

She and her daughter both originally belonged to the Ice Wolf clan, so contact should be much easier, and there's virtually no chance of any conflict.

Once the Ice Wolf Clan is subdued, taking over the Centaur Clan will be a natural next step.

This way, you'll have a demi-human squad. Whether it's combat or reconnaissance, this squad is very strong.
