"Master Baron asked me to go?"

The leader of the guild, Nord, was very surprised. He should not have petitioned the Baron, but now the Baron wants him to go to the manor. Is it about that strange person? Nord couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

"Nord, the leader of the Guild, please follow me to the manor quickly."

The Baron's servant urged him, and the leader of the guild, Nord, had to follow the servant and go to the Baron's manor.

Along the way, Nord tried every means to inquire about the Baron's servants, but the other party ignored him at all. These servants trained by knights adhered to the virtues of knights.

"arrive."

The Baron's manor was outside the town, and the two of them rode on horseback and walked one by one. Soon they arrived outside the Baron's manor. A servant opened the small door and bent down and walked in.

Rudolph and the Baron sat at the dining table, and he accompanied the Baron to drink wine and eat the roasted rabbit meat on the plate. At this time, a servant walked in and bowed to the Baron and Rudolph.

"Baron, the leader of the guild, Nord, is here."

The attendant reported to the baron.

"Very good, let him in."

The Baron nodded and let Nord come in.

"Dear Baron, what's the matter with you calling me?"

The guild leader walked a few steps to the Baron and Rudolph. He took off his hat, placed it on his chest, stretched his left leg forward half a step, and bent his upper body to salute.

"Oh, Nord, this is the leader of my town guild. All goods and goods must be bought and sold in the market."

The Baron nodded slightly, as if he was giving a gift to the leader of the guild, Nord. Then the Baron turned his face and said to Rudolph.

"Oh, so that's what a smart person."

Rudolph also maintained the noble's reserve. He picked up the wine glass and walked to the guild leader Nord, and handed it to him.

"Thanks you."

Nord quickly took the wine glass and was honored to be toasted by a nobleman, but he was very curious that he had never seen the young nobleman in front of him.

"Nord, this is the eldest son of Count Schwartz."

The Baron seemed to see Nord's doubts, so he introduced him.

"Oh, the eldest son of Count Schwartz, wouldn't that be..."

The leader of the guild, Nord, looked at the young Rudolph in surprise. The Count was an intermediate nobleman and had a county territory. As the eldest son of Count Schwartz, he must be the next Count Schwartz.

"Yes, it is the heir of Count Schwartz. It is my honor to be able to entertain such a noble man."

The Baron also smiled and picked up the wine glass and said to Rudolph and Nord.

"That's certainly, but I don't know if I need my service?"

The leader of the guild, Nord, quickly lowered his head, but he knew very well that it seemed that the Baron summoned him to come, which should be related to the young heir of the count.

"Actually, there's a little busy."

Rudolph sat down comfortably again, put his right finger under his lips and touched it, where a layer of beard had grown.

"What kind of little busy is it?"

The leader of the guild, Nord, still maintained a respectful attitude, but in fact he was already bored. The nobles rely on their power and identity to always let him do all kinds of troublesome things.

"It's indeed a small busy thing. I want to buy some goods in the town. I heard that the guild needs to increase the operating tax, and I hope to get a certain exemption."

Rudolph said to Nord.

“Is business tax exempted?”

The leader of the guild, Nord, was slightly surprised. He did not expect that Rudolph actually asked for exemption of business tax. This was a bit strange. If it was a small amount of goods, it would be less of a problem if there was any business tax. So he asked Rudolph curiously what kind of goods it was?

“Yes, olive oil.”

Rudolph glanced at the Baron and said to the leader of the guild.

"olive oil?"

The leader of the guild was shocked. It was olive oil again. Why did the heir of Count Schwartz actually buy olive oil? Is there any insider that he doesn't know?

“Yes, is there any problem?”

Rudolph pretended to frown and said to the guild leader Nord.

"No, no, no, no, no, nothing is wrong, but I'm curious, how much are you going to buy?"

Guild leader Nord asked curiously.

"Of course it's all."

Rudolph said in a decisive voice, and his face showed a rosy rosy color under his white skin.

"What, all?"

The leader of the guild, Nord, opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth and looked at Rudolph in disbelief.

"What's wrong, what's the problem?"

Rudolph was a little impatient. He frowned and placed the cup in his hand heavily on the table, making a ping-tone sound.

"Of course not, it's just why you suddenly bought so much olive oil by yourself."

The leader of the guild, Nord, lowered his head and thought for a while, still plucked up the courage to ask Rudolph.

"Nord, you should not disrespect a nobleman."

However, before Rudolph could answer, the Baron lowered his face in displeasure and said to the leader of the guild.

"I'm sorry Baron, but as the leader of the guild, I have to ask clearly."

Although Nord immediately bowed to the Baron and Rudolph, his attitude was very firm, because this was the responsibility of the guild leader.

"Is it okay not to ask the reason? It's okay not to exempt business tax."

Rudolph lowered his head and scratched his forehead with his right finger, and said to Nord with a embarrassed look.

"Do you have to buy it if you don't require business tax exemption?"

The doubts in the mind of the guild leader Nord were like a hole, not only not narrowing, but instead became increasingly fermenting. Why do nobles care so much about olive oil? Why is there a weird person buying olive oil at a high price? There is definitely a problem with this.

After exiting the Baron Manor, Nord was absent-minded on his way home, stepping on the mud pit without realizing it. He didn't realize it until he entered the door, but he found a series of mud footprints on the ground of his house in the maid's scream.

"Go and find Ma Xiu."

After thinking about it, the leader of the guild, Nords decided to make the truth clear, so he said to the recorder he hired.

"Are you looking for Ma Xu?"

The recorder was slightly surprised because if it was not necessary, he knew that Nord would not look for that rogue.

"Yes, don't let me repeat."

The guild leader Nord said impatiently.

The recorder hurried out of the door. He walked into the narrow streets of the town and looked around, but soon when he saw a narrow alley, he flashed into the shabby alley.

"Rudolph, you bought so much olive oil because you got the news that His Majesty the King held a martial arts competition and there were Orientals coming to attend, so you wanted to stock up on the olive oil so that you could sell it to those Orientals?"

Looking at the back of the guild leader Nord leaving, Baron Marcias de Lorraine asked Rudolph curiously.

"Of course this is not. I just want to buy some olive oil to serve as military expenses."

But Rudolph showed a look of embarrassment, picked up the wine glass and covered his face with it while drinking. It seemed like he was not a joke. Baron Marcias smiled and his head, which looked cute, turned rapidly at this moment.

"Hmph, this little bastard of Earl Schwartz must have received some news, but why did I get no news from the Duke of Lorraine? Ha, it must be the last time I made a bet, the old guy lost to me so I was angry."

Baron Marcias kept thinking that this banquet seemed much deserted than the last time, and both of them were ulterior motives.

"Sir Baron, it's getting late, I'm going back to the camp."

Rudolph stood up and looked at the sky outside, and said to Baron Marcias.

"Of course my friend, but I want to ask for help."

Baron Marcias stopped Rudolph and said to him.

"What's up?"

"That's right. In the forest not far outside the manor, there are always some robbers. They always attack my carriages carrying grapes and olive oil. This illegal act has caused me a lot of losses. It is God's will. You are a heroic nobleman and an army. Can you help me eliminate these illegal elements?"
