The Defeated Dragon

Chapter 238: Exaggerated Performance

It wasn't a grand dinner. The Count called in the officials of Coral Island and Levis also called some of his subordinates and they chatted among themselves.

After the dinner, Liszt found an opportunity and went into the study with Levis.

Brother, how is your taste for liquor? Liszt took the bottle containing the white whine from the servant, unscrewed the cap, poured a gla.s.s, and offered it to Levis. Taste this and give me your honest review.

I'm quite good at judging drinks actually. Hey, what kind of liquor is this? Where did you get it? He raised the cup and asked, It tastes bad. Also smells and looks like low-quality liquor.The c.r.a.p that Eagle Kingdom drinks during the war is even better than this one!

Having said that, Levis put the gla.s.s on his lips and sipped a little. "It has a sour taste and no wine strength. This wine really is low-quality."

He put the cup down and didn't say anything more.

Liszt's face remained unchanged, and he continued to ask, Brother, how much do you think a bottle of this kind of liquor would sell?

How much is a bottle? Levi's squinted, Liszt, don't tell me this white wine was brewed at Flower Town?

It is exactly like you said. This is the home-brewed liquor of Flower Town. I just haven't brewed it successfully yet, thus the quality of the obtained liquor is very low. However, I have already researched a new liquor brewing technology.

Levis heard him loud and clear.

Levi had his eyes lit up, and couldn't wait to open his mouth. What? You've developed liquor brewing techniques? G.o.d, Liszt, don't lie to me! Do you know how valuable liquor brewing technology is? There are only five kinds of white wine in the Grand Duchy, three in the hands of the Marquis and two in the hands of the Grand Duchy.

The Count counted Levis' maturity on the battlefield.

But at this moment, Levis was still Levis, and his frizzy eyes were red. Not even Grandfather has mastered the technique of making white wine!

Don't be too surprised, brother, it's just a liquor business. Compared to potions, the liquor business is nothing.

It's nothing! Levis was heavily breathing. Of course, potions are expensive, but it's barely enough for one person's use. Tulip Castle's potions are for Father's needs, even I need it. Maybe Lytton will also take part, and Lvera , she will steal some!

Thanks to the magical power of the tulip elf, the black tulips can produce a lot of potions, but many people were already expecting this batch.

The black tulip business was signed by the three brothers and one sister.

However, once the power of the Great Sprite is taken up, the share that should be paid to the Count is immeasurable. Levis will, at best, eat up what's left.

Liszt said, with a hint of jealousy. I don't have good luck like you. I only have a mid-level magical beast, black tulip, flame mushroom, and potion thorns, all just enough for my own consumption!

It seems that you aren't making much money from the potions..

Of course I can't make any. I can't make any. All my other business money is on the magic potions. You know I get devastated everytime I take a bottle of magic potionsYou're an Elite Earth Knight, you can't sympathize with the pain and joy of being an ordinary Earth Knight. Liszt's expression was sort of twisted.

So my brother is very short of money.

Now you know

If only my elder brother would be willing to share the liquor business with me. Liszt threw out the prepared bait and went straight to the point-he was too lazy to continue acting.

Levi's exaggerated expression and tone of voice were all exaggerated performances. Levis probably already guessed something was up the moment Liszt asked him to taste the liquor Levis Tulip was never the fool ; he broke through the earth knight level when he was just a teenager, he is a genius.

If it was an outsider, Liszt might have to continue his act.

Since they were close brothers, Levis simply picked it up.

Sure enough, after hearing Liszt's words, Levis immediately put away his exaggerated acting skills, and put on an enthusiastic energy. What?  Liszt ? Do you mean to share the liquor brewing technology with your brother?

"You were the one who told me the value of this technology. I might part with it soon, so it should be left to someone whose hands I do trust. If one day I do decide to depart, I will give you the liquor brewing technology as soon as possible. My idea is that I would make the wine, while you are responsible for the sales, we would split the profit.."

Some bargaining.

The two brothers have basically decided how to cooperate.

Levis would provide protection for the liquor business, the raw materials needed for brewing, and would also be responsible for external sales, accounting for 60% of the profits. Liszt's only job is brewing liquor, accounting for 40% of the profits Liszt is basically satisfied with 40% of the share. After all, it is expected that the sales channel would eat a bigger share than normal, not to mention Levis would have to provide protection.

If one day, the two brothers would actually split up.

The cooperation would be suspended and the technology will be shared.

Now the liquor brewing technology is still being improved. It will take some time before a qualified version would be ready for sale. The most important thing is that the brewing equipment urgently needs a batch of iron, however, Flower Town is extremely short of iron. I hope you can help me solve it.

You fancy the trophy this time, eh? Levis touched his chin, knowing that if you want to get a liquor business, you would have to pay first before you get benefits. Iron has always been the most prized trophy. We didn't bring back too much iron ore this time. Liszt, I don't have much iron to do with . three thousand pounds of iron ingot, I won't be able to get any more.

Almost three thousand pounds.

Don't worry about it. These three thousand pounds are enough to make Viscount Trik and Viscount Jonas red with jealousy. By the way, I forgot to ask you, how come you stopped the Flower Town sale of flame mushroom potions?

Liszt groaned for a moment and then replied, I wanted to stock up on some potions.

What?

Don't be surprised, brother. Although my talent is not as good as yours, I don't want to push too much on Ella. Even if it fails, I am still willing to try it. Liszt said half-truthly.  No one knows that he was already an elite earth knight.

What about the black tulips and the thorn potions?

The black tulips are still supplied to you, and I also plan to store thorn potions.

It's a pityIt's hard for me to persuade you not to try, unlike Lvera who is full of disobedience. But I still want you to think more about it, and if you change your mind, then I'll work with you. As a brother, you have to believe that I can take advantage of anyone, but I would never do that to you.

Of course, I believe in it.

The two talked about serf trading again. They didn't put too much thought about it and quickly reached a deal of 2,500 serfs for 500 gold coins.

 I'll give you the gold coins later.

Just send it in before the fleet leaves. Levis didn't bother to ask Liszt where he got so many coins. He felt there were many things he didn't understand about his brother.

Ignorance and timidity no longer appeared, it was replaced by respect and generosity.

When Liszt had left to resign to his own chambers, Levis couldn't help but think, Liszt has grown-up and Flower Town would gradually be unable to hold down his ambitions. Listening to the way he spoke earlier, even the idea of separation from the family came into mindHis confidence might catapult him to Father's level.
