After learning from Otto that this novel dessert was called jelly, Black Rose hurriedly asked about the cost of making this food.

“Ah, the various fruits inside are not very precious, but the troublesome part is the outer layer.”

Otto’s voice sounded somewhat regretful.

Cost was not an issue for the noble ladies who never left their houses.

The question was whether it was rare, delicious, and attractive.

Black Rose pondered and asked, “Can Bauhinia purchase this novel dessert?”

“Why not?”

Otto laughed, “Just that the price might be a bit expensive. For a jelly this size, you have to pay a Gold Star to the Land of the Soaring Dragon.

Of course, as before, bartering is better. Soon, the Land of the Soaring Dragon may need large quantities of high-quality liquor.”

A Gold Star means 1000 Imperial Coins; this was not a small sum. A healthy ordinary slave would cost about this price.

At this price, even the wealthy nobles would think twice before making a purchase.

But Black Rose nodded and said, “No problem, but can I make some requests?”

Otto gestured for Black Rose to continue.

She tried asking, “Can the fruit inside be customized according to our requirements? After all, people’s tastes and preferences vary from region to region. ”

“Of course, there’s no problem with that, but you’ll have to pay for the custom raw materials. ”

Then, Otto added, “For added convenience, I recommend sending various fruit tree seeds directly to the Land of the Soaring Dragon. We possess special cultivation techniques that can quickly achieve self-sufficiency.”

About those special cultivation techniques…”

“I cannot reveal more!”

Black Rose’s face showed disappointment, but she asked again, “In that case, can jelly be made even more delicate and beautiful? I would like to offer products of different grades according to different consumer groups.

Of course, if the production difficulty increases, we’re willing to pay corresponding gold coins or goods.”

Sure enough, a professional merchant’s vision is always ahead of the curve.

Otto called Elise over and said, “Regarding this matter, you can communicate with my chief maid. I believe it’s not a difficult task.”

Although there were many things to discuss with Elise, Black Rose first frowned at Otto, not forgetting her original purpose.

Then, she hesitated a bit and said, “Honorable Silver Dragon Lord, the current war between Farrand and Lait is not optimistic.

At present, nearly half of the border towns in Farrand have fallen, and through those mysterious pills, the army of Lait Kingdom’s new king has increased in number.”

“What, you haven’t given up and want me to join the war?”

Otto looked at her with some amusement, but she shook her head and said something that greatly shocked Otto.

“Farrand has surrendered..

“What?”

Otto could hardly believe what he heard.

So Black Rose repeated, “King of Farrand has announced his surrender. Looking at territory alone, the Lait Duchy has now become the Lait Kingdom in the true sense.”

“Wait a minute…”

Otto felt somewhat amused and said, “You just said that Farrand had only lost nearly half of the border towns. How come they suddenly surrendered?”

Black Rose reluctantly said, “That’s how it is. According to the reports from the Merchants’ Association members in the Farrand Royal City, a Red Dragon flew to the sky above the Farrand Royal Palace and dropped a bundle of strange skulls.

The universal language is engraved with the threatening words of the Lait Kingdom’s new king, emphasizing that if the King of Farrand is willing to surrender, he will ensure his safety and the status of the Duke of Farrand…’

“From king to duke… So, that fool agreed?”

It was as if Otto was listening to a fairy tale.

“Yes, although I know how unbelievable it sounds, that is the truth.

But after the King of Farrand announced his surrender, many other lords and nobles in the towns have risen up and gone into battle.

Not all Farrand people are cowards, but without the cohesion of the royal family, I don’t think these lords and nobles will last long.”

At this point, Otto did not know what to say. How on earth had that fool of Farrand become king?

Initially, he had wanted to watch the tigers fight from the sidelines and wait for these human kingdoms to defeat each other. Then, he would reap the benefits and capture the True Dragons under the command of Lait Kingdom’s new king.

It was just a guess at first, but Black Rose’s words confirmed it. At least, the new king of Lait really controlled a Red Dragon.

Who would have thought that these neighboring human countries would be so incompetent, especially Farrand, which surrendered so easily?

Black Rose didn’t care what Otto was thinking and kept speaking, “If Farrand falls completely, the trade routes connecting the Dragon Bone Wasteland to the human countries will be severed.

By then, we will really only be able to do business with the Norton people and

Frost Giants of Snow Field.’

There was another point that Black Rose did not explain, but Otto was also well aware of.

The two mentioned above were not lucrative customers. Living in the harsh Snow Field implied poverty.

Doing business with the two meant that they could hardly sell jelly and such.

It seemed that his side should speed things up.

As Otto thought, the reason Black Rose shared this information was probably to hope that he could do something about it.

Black Rose and Elise had many topics to discuss about jelly, while Otto ate his grilled meat with a complex expression.

“My dear friend, I heard your conversation!”

Dain sat right in front of Otto, with one hand holding roasted meat and the other holding Rye Beer, his entire black beard soaking wet.

“The Lait you mentioned, are they fighting the Red-bearded Dwarves?” Otto nodded in confirmation.

Then, Dain asked doubtfully, “If that’s the case, wouldn’t that be good? Why don’t you seem happy?

Otto sighed, “It’s like two Red-bearded Dwarves fighting. Although both are your enemies, when one of them gets the other’s weapons and equipment and becomes stronger, would you be happy for them?”

Dain nodded, seemingly understanding but not really, and then said, “So, that

Lait human kingdom is your enemy too?”

“You can say that. Right now, they hold something I must obtain.”

Dain laughed heartily, “Haha, don’t worry, my friend. Once we kill those Red-bearded Dwarves, the Black Iron Dwarves won’t stand idly by.. We’ll then smash the skulls of the Lait people together!”
