Chapter 603 I Have a Solution

“In that case, you might not get out of Fareins.”

Martin’s smile was full of smugness.

Just like the a.s.sociation of Mages was full of n.o.bles in its upper ranks, the Guild of Warriors was the same way The waters ran deep in this part of the capital of Fareins.

As the largest human country in the world, and as the most powerful human country in the world, its capital was naturally full of big shots.

Martin’s father was not only the former chairman of the Guild of Warriors but also the country’s marquis.

The n.o.ble t.i.tles of the Fareins Kingdom were very difficult to obtain. Below the royal family, there were two dukes, and further down the line, there were eight marquis.

Besides, a lot of the time, the strength of a force was not quite according to n.o.ble standards.

For example, a certain grand duke was notoriously cowardly, and apart from his t.i.tle, he had no money and no men.

Martin’s family was considered one of the more powerful in the capital.

That was why he had the nerve to talk like that.

He looked at Roland rather smugly. Something like dragon bones interested him.

Once he got the dragon bones and put them toward the Guild of Warriors, those who disobeyed him because of his lack of ability would change their minds and appreciate him, making it convenient for him to consolidate the resources of the Guild of Warriors.

He wasn’t afraid that Roland had some kind of power behind him.

If so, something as important as dragon bones should not be negotiated by an unknown junior, but by a big shot to negotiate a partners.h.i.+p.

Looking at the other man’s smug smile, Roland frowned.

This situation was already considered a breakdown in negotiations. But it was also times like these that it came down to the middleman.

Stephanie sat up straight and said, “Martin, Roland is my friend and you can think of it this way; there is no way he could get me to be the middleman if he didn’t have enough power and capabilities, so you better reconsider your thoughts and approach.”

Stephanie was, after all, the First Princess and would almost certainly be ordained the next queen.

What she said carried a lot of weight.

This guy is really powerful? But why haven’t I heard of him? Martin was rather puzzled, but the words of the First Princess were unlikely to be lies, sp he took a deep breath. “Sir, are you really not willing to sell us the dragon bones? We can give you a generous price.”

Roland still shook his head.

Giant dragons rarely appeared in the human world, and not all of them could be killed at will.

Normally, only evil dragons could be slaughtered, otherwise, the punishment of the good dragon G.o.d Bahamut would follow. And evil dragons… generally wouldn’t just dabble in the human world, because many elites in the human world liked to slay dragons.

For example, Heroes.

Besides, giant dragons weren’t easy to kill, and if not for Andonara’s help, the players wouldn’t be able to take down a white dragon at their current strength.

It wouldn’t be easy to get a high-level dragon corpse again.

Low-level dragon bones, used to forge weapons and armor, were also effective, but certainly not as good as high-level dragon bones.

So, dragon bones and dragon skin were limited in supply, and high-level white dragons like this one were even rarer.

Roland intended to help Andonara build a set of top-quality equipment, and then help his friends the same way. If there was any extra, he still had to sell it to make some of his money back.

There weren’t any extras to sell to the Guild of Warriors.

Seeing that Roland was unmoved by force or persuasion, Martin wasn’t happy.

But for First Princess Stephanie’s sake, Martin didn’t want to come across as too aggressive.

Then he said, “Consider it, my friend. Only the Guild of Warriors knows how to forge from dragon bones. You won’t find anyone else but us to sell it to.”

Roland was not convinced.

The Guild of Warriors’ forging skills were indeed good, but not the best in the world.

At least one power was solidly above them.

The Black Iron Dwarves.

Unmoved, Roland just laughed lightly. “I’ll think about it.”

Although Martin wasn’t really smart, he was not stupid either. He looked at Roland’s demeanor and tone of voice and knew that the other party did not take his words to heart. He was upset but there was nothing he could do about it.

At that moment he stopped chatting with Roland and instead concentrated on chatting with and teasing First Princess Stephanie.

However, Stephanie was reluctant to talk to him, and after some casual remarks, she yawned. “I’m sleepy, so if you guys have anything else to talk about, we’ll talk tomorrow.”

Roland immediately rose to take his leave.

Martin dawdled as he made his exit, still having the extravagant hope that the First Princess might call him back to warm her bed.

It was better to walk slowly.

However, up until he walked out of the manor, Stephanie’s eyes did not fall on him.

Instead, she kept staring at Roland for quite a long time.

When Roland left the manor, he went to Moonlight Stone Tavern.

Here, he found the red-bearded dwarf, Wilmot, who was drinking heavily.

The two had worked together before.

After Roland came to the Moonlight Stone Tavern, he sat down and waited.
