Chapter 369: Riddler, get out of Gotham!
"Viscount Nidas, please continue."
In fact, Mo Cheng wanted to say something like [There is no one else here, the friend you are talking about is you yourself?], but between a piece of news that can make money and a joke, he wisely chose the former.
After all, Viscount Nidas was right. As he had already applied to the Aundair royal family to become a [Pioneer Noble], it was necessary for him to find a territory that was not so difficult to develop, and to raise construction funds for the territory in advance.
Although as a thorough combat player, it seems irrational to get a territory and even spend extra time to choose and build a territory.
But who can refuse a territory that belongs entirely to them?
At least Mo Cheng asked himself that compared with a territory of 5,000 square kilometers, what the Aundair royal family gave every month was not worth mentioning at all.
Even though both parties knew who Viscount Nidas's friend was referring to, Viscount Nidas still insisted, "My friend means that he hopes that the Earl can increase production, and my friend has many ways to sell it."
"If the output is increased, we can sell it for a lot of money."
It would have been fine if Viscount Nidas didn't mention money, but once he mentioned it, Mo Cheng became interested. "A large sum of money? How much is it?"
There is still some time before obtaining the [Territory Seal], but raising funds can be done in advance, especially if business comes to you.
Viscount Nidas lowered his body and whispered a number.
It was a huge number. Even Mo Cheng, who was once a player from [Foreign Land], felt that it was a large number.
"so much?!"
"Your Excellency, you don't understand the value of this thing. Alchemists can also make potions with the same effect, but they are expensive and can only be used once a month. Endurance potions and endurance pills do not have this problem at all."
Viscount Nidas did a lot of research, and he keenly realized from the quantity and price of the Golden Rose sold that the manufacturing price of endurance potions and endurance pills would definitely not be very high.
If it was expensive, it would never be sold in a not-so-famous store, and the price would definitely not be so low, so low that even gangsters could afford it.
At the same time, based on the personal experience of Viscount Nidas [friend], first-hand treatment was also obtained.
This is a drug that has extremely low manufacturing costs, no obvious side effects, and can be taken multiple times in a short period of time.
After that, Viscount Nidas spent a lot of effort to find out that the owner behind the Golden Rose was Earl Mo Cheng, a rising star in the aristocratic political circle of Fairhaven.
Honestly speaking, I'm not surprised to find out about Viscount Nidas. Nobles always have some inconvenient things that they have to let their subordinates do. Those gangsters who may die every day and who can rush forward for a little money are the best disposable items for those nobles.
It can be said that in the sinking area of Fairhaven, most of the big gangs had some nobles behind them, and those big gangs even had to offer most of their income every month in exchange for some protection.
The nobles in the city support gangsters, while those outside the city support bandits.
Whenever the money and food in the territory were insufficient, he would cover his face and run to the homes of his neighbors, with whom he had conflicts on a daily basis, to borrow money and food. He would be ruthless and quick in his actions, and would never come back.
Mo Cheng tapped the cup in his hand with his fingers and suddenly asked, "Vs. Nidas, thank you for your reminder. I will put the production issue on the agenda. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you?"
Although the name of buying endurance potions and endurance pills doesn't sound very good, but compared with the possible profits, Mo Cheng feels that reputation can be put aside.
Viscount Nidas smiled and rubbed his hands. "If possible, I hope to be the exclusive seller of endurance potions and endurance pills in this city."
"I have to go to the Kingdom of Bezeko to do some business. After I come back, we may be able to discuss the specific details of the cooperation in detail."
The two men smiled and shook hands. Although neither party had actually paid anything at this time, it was enough to reach an intention to cooperate.
Mo Cheng paid only for Viscount Nidas's exclusive sales rights in this city after increasing production capacity. As for Viscount Nidas, he only paid for a few first-class tickets.
Since he owns the steel cruise ship, it is difficult to say what the cost price of those first-class cabins is.
"Mr. Count, there is something I must remind you of."
As they shook hands, Viscount Nidas lowered his voice again and said in a serious tone, "It is better not to get involved in Baron Seranis' affairs."
Hearing this, Mo Cheng raised an eyebrow, "You mean, what happened to Baron Seranis?"
Viscount Nidas did not answer directly, but spoke to himself, "Your Excellency, I know that you have a very good relationship with the only daughter of Marquis Laurenfrost and the head of the law enforcement group. The head of the law enforcement group should be very eager to investigate the matter of Baron Seranis's fleet."
"I don't know if you have any other plans when you came with Baron Seranis this time. But as my collaborator reminded me, Baron Seranis is in big trouble, so big that even she herself doesn't know what it is."
"So, what exactly is the trouble with Baron Seranis, can you tell me?"
Viscount Nidas's riddle-like words actually aroused Mo Cheng's curiosity. When his curiosity was aroused, he naturally threw the so-called reminder aside.
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. But Baron Seranis's fleet set out from my place, and its sinking does not surprise me."
“Everything will return to its previous trajectory, even if it once deviated from the established direction.”
The Riddler's behavior of speaking half of his words was so annoying that Mo Cheng planned to use [Nightmare] to control Viscount Nidas and make him tell what he knew.
But maybe because he was wary of Mo Cheng, or he really didn't know more about this, Viscount Nidas left before Mo Cheng made a decision.
This made Mo Cheng suspect that the purpose of Viscount Nidas talking to him alone was to keep him away from Baron Serannis, and the cooperation between the endurance potion and the endurance pills was more like a side effect.
Mo Cheng didn't know what the truth was.
But one thing is very obvious, Mo Cheng is not a person who listens to advice, and Viscount Nidas's riddle man behavior irritated him.
Now he was somewhat angry. He wanted to find out about Baron Serannis, and then come back and slap the Riddler in the face while slowly telling him the truth he had found out.
