Not far from the northwest corner of Banta City, there was a small path that led into a lush forest. After going for around two kilometers, it entered a very large manor.
This manor was also filled with greenery, with all kinds of flowers and plants. There weren't many houses in the manor, but it didn't look messy at all and was arranged in an orderly manner.
There were all kinds of birds chirping from time to time, making the entire manor look peaceful and comfortable.
There was a small mountain to the west of the manor and there was a clear spring water that flowed down from the mountain. It brought a cool breeze to the manor, while also creating a pool at the foot of the mountain.
The spring water was cool and the pool didn't stop flowing, so naturally there was a cool breeze to it.
There was a small wooden house beside the pool and Viscount Leslie was at the entrance of the wooden house facing the pool. He took off his shoes and dipped his feet and calves into the pool, enjoying the coolness of the pool as he let out a comfortable moan from time to time.
Other than this, beside him, there was a Magic Fan that kept turning.
A cool breeze blew out of the Magic Fan, blowing his scattered hair back and forth.
After closing his eyes to enjoy it for a while, Viscount Leslie suddenly shook his head, "This thing still isn't good, it can't compare to the Frost Array."
Butler Brunei who had been standing on the side the entire time immediately bowed and replied, "Yes, Lord Viscount.
Not a single noble in Banta City has bought this Magic Fan, everyone thinks that this is something for commoners. I suggest that you don't continue using it, it's better if you don't take advantage of it. "
"Oh?
Do those idiots all think this? "Viscount Leslie turned to look at Butler Brunei with a taunting smile on his lips.
Seeing the lazy smile on Viscount Leslie's face, Butler Brunei secretly gave a sigh in his heart.
The Lord Viscount had just turned thirty this year, he was in his prime. Adding in his handsome appearance and proper manners, he was very popular among the noble young ladies in Banta City. But he still didn't have any plans to get married, which made Anvilmar City's master Count worry about this for a long time.
"Lord Viscount, your meaning is?"
Of course, Butler Brunei would not reveal the thoughts in his heart. Instead, he showed the appropriate support.
"What?
You also don't understand? "Viscount Leslie pointed at the Magic Fan.
"Although the effect of this thing isn't as good as the Frost Array, don't forget that the cost of this thing is far less than the Frost Array.
The normal families of Banta City couldn't afford a Frost Array, but that didn't mean they couldn't afford this Magic Fan.
Only two gold coins can bring a cool breeze to me. What's so unacceptable about that? "
Butler Brunei nodded lightly: "That is indeed the case.
During this time, the Magic Fans have been selling very well in Banta City. There are even many people from the villages outside the city that have come to buy them. "
"Brunei, how much do you think it would cost to make this thing?" Viscount Leslie suddenly asked.
Brunei didn't hesitate as he immediately replied, "I've calculated it and the cost of a single Magic Fan shouldn't exceed one gold coin."
"He, he, the cost is only one gold coin and each one is sold for two gold coins. This also means that for each Magic Fan sold, that fellow Xu Yi would earn one gold coin.
Then do you know how many units he has sold so far? "
"This ….. I'm not clear.
But it should be over two thousand units, right? "Butler Brunei replied in an uncertain voice.
"Even if it's two thousand units, it's two thousand gold coins.
This fellow only used a single month to earn two thousand gold coins, his skills really aren't small. "Viscount Leslie's voice was filled with praise.
Butler Brunei was a bit surprised as he said with knit brows, "Lord Viscount, although I admit that he is very capable, this is a special case.
The Magic Fan can only be sold in the summer and it can only be sold for three months of the year.
Then again, there isn't a need for this thing that much. When every family that can afford it has bought it, he can't rely on this to earn that much gold coins. "
"Brunei, you're still old in the end." Viscount Leslie shook his head with a sigh.
Viscount Leslie shook his head with a sigh, "You don't understand, no one in Banta City is buying it. He can sell this thing to other cities and even other countries.
Sines is this big and there are countless families that want to buy this Magic Fan. As long as he can transport this thing to other places, he will definitely be able to sell it.
I can even confidently tell you that this fellow already had this idea from the beginning. Otherwise, why do you think he rented an entire hectare of land from me?
If he maintains his current scale, he doesn't need such a large piece of land at all. He can just find a small workshop in the city to take care of it. "
Butler Brunei said in a surprised voice, "He actually has this much ambition?"
"He, he, having ambition is a good thing.
Otherwise, do you think I would talk to you about a small merchant that isn't even worthy of my attention? "Viscount Leslie said with a faint smile.
"Actually, what really caught my attention was when a group of people besieged his shop last time."
"Oh, I was also quite surprised by that matter.
I thought that it would be very big, but I never thought that they would take care of it this well. In the end, those people were very satisfied and left. "Butler Brunei's voice couldn't help having a trace of praise.
"I've seen that Heinz before, he isn't that strong of a person. So the one who took care of this matter should be Xu Yi."
"Just this isn't much, what caught my attention was what he proposed ….. Right, branding!
Brunei, do you know what this means? "
Butler Brunei shook his head in a daze.
"To be honest, I don't know either.
But I can feel that this thing is very important.
The other merchants in Banta City don't know what this thing means right now, but I believe that they will definitely understand in the future. "Viscount Leslie's voice was very certain, it seemed like he was very confident in his conclusion.
Butler Brunei knit his brows to think before he couldn't help asking, "Lord Viscount, you've said all this, what do you want to say?
No matter what that Xu Yi wants to do, it doesn't seem to be related to you, right?
Although he gave you a 10% share, according to my estimates, it will only bring in a few hundred gold coins a year. Is there a need for you to spend this much effort on it? "
Viscount Leslie laughed, "Brunei, you don't believe me when I say that you're old.
Go, you'll personally make a trip tomorrow and send an invitation to Xu Yi for me. Just say that I'm inviting him to be a guest here. "
Butler Brunei's eyes popped out in shock.
Did he hear wrong?
The Lord Viscount who never liked being disturbed by guests was actually personally inviting someone to be a guest?
###
Xu Yi didn't feel honoured at all. After testing the Magic Capping Machine and the Magic Thread Rolling Machine over a hundred times at Master Lanus' place, he had given Master Lanus a bunch of suggestions to adjust them.
He had received countless complaints from Master Lanus, but he had also received the good news that he would adjust them in three days.
This process had almost used up all of Xu Yi's physical strength and energy. When he dragged his tired body back to his little room, he directly fell asleep on the bed.
After being in a daze for an unknown amount of time, Xu Yi woke up from his dream and his nose immediately smelled the fragrance of stewed meat.
Listening to it, he could hear the sounds of conversation coming from the kitchen.
It was actually a girl's voice!
Xu Yi was surprised. Could it be that someone had snuck in while he was sleeping?
Getting out of bed, Xu Yi went to the kitchen to take a look. He saw two figures, one big and one small, with their backs to him, currently working in front of the stove.
Whether it was big or small, these two figures were very familiar to him.
"Stiel, why are you here?" Xu Yi said in a surprised voice.
Stiel who was shaking the spatula turned her head in surprise and revealed a smile to Xu Yi, "You're awake.
Go wash your face and get ready to eat. "
Xu Yi looked at her strangely, and then looked at the little slave that he had bought beside Stiel. He couldn't help but frown.
"Hey, your injuries haven't healed yet, why did you run out?"
Even though the little slave had been with Xu Yi for many days, he still had a timid look on his face. Hearing this, he shrunk his body, lowered his head and left the kitchen, returning to the room that Xu Yi had prepared for him.
"Xu Yi, why are you yelling at her?
I was the one who called her to help. "Seeing that Xu Yi had yelled at the little helper, Stiel couldn't help but be dissatisfied.
"Didn't you see the injuries on his body? You actually asked him to help?
It would be troublesome if the wounds split open. "
"Don't worry, I've checked the wounds on his body. They're almost healed, there won't be any hindrances."
Stiel had already cooked a dish. She pouted at Xu Yi and motioned for him to bring out another dish and a stew.
While placing the utensils, Stiel whispered to Xu Yi, "Hey, Xu Yi, what's the matter with this little girl?"
"Little girl?
Who? "Xu Yi asked in surprise.
"Of course it's her." Stiel pointed to the little room where the little slave was.
"Oh, it's a little slave that I bought.
It's quite troublesome to talk about, I'll explain it to you later … Wait, you said little girl? "Xu Yi's eyes suddenly widened.
"Yes?
What's wrong? "Seeing Xu Yi's surprised expression, Stiel was also surprised.
"Isn't he a boy?" Xu Yi was surprised.
"What boy?
It's obviously a little girl!
Is there something wrong with your eyes? "Stiel reprimanded without hesitation.
Xu Yi was stunned.
The first time he saw this little slave, she was being whipped to death by three strong men. Xu Yi subconsciously thought of her as a little boy, because he didn't believe that there would be people in this world who would be so cruel to a little girl.
Later, after he bought her from Butler Brunei, because she was injured, she was always wrapped in gauze, and Xu Yi didn't have much time to interact with her, so naturally he didn't pay attention to these problems.
He didn't expect that the little boy he always thought was actually a little girl!
