"What, don't pay a penny, give it all away?" Even a duke butler like Blow couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Nalant's words.
The main reason is that this wine is now too popular in the capital of Knock.
The wine originally purchased from the Storm Territory only cost three gold coins per pot, and the initial price after arriving at the Royal Capital of Nok was almost six gold coins per pot.
This price is not cheap among ordinary fine wines, but it is just the initial price.
As the delicious taste of wine was accepted by the nobles, and the Marquis of Naum brought back less and less ordinary wine, the price began to skyrocket.
First, it increased from six gold coins per pot to ten gold coins per pot, then to fifteen gold coins per pot, and then to twenty gold coins per pot.
Even so, these twenty gold coins for a bottle of wine are still priceless.
Of course, if you are more willing to give up, you can also go to Nok No. 1 Restaurant, where a bottle of wine costs fifty gold coins.
Don’t be too expensive, it’s the only way to taste wine in a short time.
Otherwise, we can only continue to wait until the next batch of caravans go to Storm Territory and purchase goods and return.
If nothing else happens, this time will be one or two months.
And as a noble, who can wait so long just to save a few gold coins?
After all, if you go out to a banquet and everyone talks about how delicious the wine is, but you haven’t tasted it by then, you will probably be compared to others in your reputation immediately.
In this way, these twenty gold coins per pot are absolutely stable and real during this period and are not inflated.
There are ninety barrels of ordinary wine that Nalant brought this time.
One barrel is equivalent to twenty jugs of wine, which is one thousand eight hundred jugs.
One thousand eight hundred pots is equivalent to thirty-six thousand gold coins.
In addition, there are ten barrels of potion wine.
Although the potion wine was all collected by the royal family and did not spread to the hands of the nobles, there was no official price.
But according to other types of wine, potion wine generally sells for ten times the price of ordinary wine.
Therefore, according to this conversion, a pot of potion wine can be sold for at least 200 gold coins.
Those two hundred pots of potion wine are almost equivalent to 20,000 gold coins.
Of course, this is still a conservative estimate, because the potion wine is collected by the royal family and is rarely owned by even the nobles, so the price is estimated to be higher.
In this way, Nalant's gift would be fifty to sixty thousand gold coins.
Even those big nobles probably don't have such a big deal, let alone the country bumpkins from the Glory Continent in the eyes of nobles like the Holy Continent.
"Sir Nalant, are you sure?"
"Butler Blow, I am sure that although the current production of wine is not too much, I have long heard of Duke Miller's reputation, so I will take this opportunity to give the wine to Duke Miller for his birthday party.
!" Nalant nodded affirmatively.
At this time, Butler Blow was also deep in thought. Looking at Nalant's smiling face, he must have known that Nalant's words about hearing the duke's reputation were all lies.
"Sir Nalant, regarding wine, the Duke's birthday party is indeed very scarce this time. However, I dare not accept such an expensive gift for no reason!"
"Why don't you, Sir Nalant, tell me clearly why you came all the way to the Nok Empire?"
"Lord Blow, since you asked this, I will tell you straight away. In fact, I came to the capital of Nok this time because of a troublesome matter!" Seeing this Butler Blow pointed out, Nalan
I don't even hide it.
"I wonder if Butler Blow has heard about the Frank family and the Dolly family?"
"The Dolly family?" The Frank family, Butler Blow seemed to have heard of it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
But when it came to the Dolly family, he instantly thought of the Dolly family's movements during this period, which seemed to be suppressing a family from the Glory Continent.
"Your Excellency Nalant, is it possible that the small family that was recently attacked by the Dolly family has any connection with you?"
"That's right, Butler Blow, that small family is the Frank family, and the Frank family was a noble of the same principality as me when we were in Glory Continent, and my lover is a descendant of the Frank family, so I came to Novo this time.
I came to King Ke Capital just for this matter." Nalant nodded with a smile.
"My lover..." Steward Burrow was stunned for a moment, then looked at Nalant with a strange look, "Your Excellency Nalant is really young and promising!"
"Ahem, Butler Blow, I do have a lot of love for this emotional matter, but I value relationships very much, and it's really hard to let go..." Nalant was slightly embarrassed, and thought to himself again if this would happen in China.
It would have been fine in ancient China. Three wives and four concubines were all above board.
Butler Blow smiled and shook his head when he heard this. Naturally, he would not care too much about Nalant's private life, so he brought the topic back to business.
"Baron Nalant, do you know the strength of the Dolly family in the Nok Empire!"
"Steward Bloor, I have heard something about it. It is said that the Dolly family is one of the most powerful families among the great nobles in the Nok Empire, except for the royal family and Duke Miller!"
"It seems that Baron Nalant has inquired about it. The Dolly family is indeed one of the few powerful families in the Nok Empire."
"Yes, so, Butler Blow, if we want to resolve the Frank family's crisis this time, I'm afraid we can only ask the Duke to lend a helping hand."
"Your Excellency Nalant, there are really not many people in the Nok Empire who can make the Dolly family give in. Apart from the royal family, there is only my Duke!"
"It's just that this matter is too important for me to make the decision. Therefore, I need to ask the Duke for instructions before I can give you an answer!" Butler Blow was quite straightforward.
"Of course, then there is Butler Laublo!" Nalant had known for a long time that such a matter might not be answered immediately.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a pause, he continued: "Of course, no matter whether this thing succeeds or not, my admiration for Duke Miller is true, so this batch of wine is still
A free gift to the Duke!"
After hearing these words, Butler Blow's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Nalant, and he actually looked a little surprised.
He had just learned that Nalant was showing courtesy for nothing, so he must be asking for something.
But now, he hasn't agreed yet, but he still presents the wine as a gift.
Isn't he afraid that after accepting the wine, he won't be able to agree to help?
This is fifty to sixty thousand gold coins...
This shows that the courage of this little baron is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary little nobles!
"Okay, Lord Narant, I will convey your good intentions to the Duke. In addition, why don't Baron Narant come to attend the Duke's banquet tomorrow! The Duke is busy with things, and I think I need to give you a reply."
Two days!" Bulow no longer delayed and accepted the wine directly.
The birthday party was held with wine this time, but it was ordered by the Duke.
Although there is no requirement for the quantity of wine, the more the better.
"Then I'll trouble Butler Blow!"
Next, Nalant got another banquet invitation from Butler Bulow.
Moreover, when Butler Blow handed the banquet invitation to him, he also specifically mentioned the areas that the banquet invitation could enter at that time.
When a dignified Duke holds a birthday party, there must be a lot of people.
And no matter how spacious the hall is, it cannot accommodate thousands of people attending the banquet at the same time.
Therefore, the birthday party tomorrow night will be divided into indoor and outdoor.
Those who can enter the room are naturally high-ranking nobles with status.
Those with a slightly lower status can only participate in the square outside the house.
Although you can see Duke Miller at that time, Miller will definitely stay indoors most of the time to accompany the big nobles.
After accepting the invitation, Nalant did not stay in the manor any longer and returned directly to the hotel.
After returning to the hotel, Nalant immediately sent Big Stone to deliver the wine to Duke Miller's manor.
In addition, Natasha was informed about the invitation.
Natasha naturally beamed when she heard this, and then asked Narant how he got the invitation to the banquet.
Nalant did not tell Natasha about his trip to Duke Miller's manor. After all, it was still unclear whether it would succeed or not.
In this way, he still told Natasha that he had entrusted the representative of Umna nobles.
Naturally, Natasha had no doubts. She thanked Nalant and immediately informed his father, Bauer, about the incident so that Bauer wouldn't be anxious.
…
Time passed and came to the second day.
Narant first received a birthday party invitation from the Marquis of Umm at noon.
Narant did not refuse the invitation.
After all, I have asked you to export it, so there is no reason to return it.
After getting the invitation that Wumu found for him, Nalant found that it was different from the one he got directly from Butler Bloo.
The invitation card that Umu gave him had a cover made of silver, although it was also exquisite and luxurious.
But compared with the gold-forged birthday party invitation given by Steward Blow, it was still a lower grade.
What's more important is that Wumu's ordinary invitation actually requires that only two people can be brought.
Narant sighed that it was a good thing that he took the initiative to go to Miller Manor again, otherwise he would probably not be able to attend the banquet with Natasha and his father today.
In the evening, as the sunset gradually set, Narante, Natasha and others changed into brand new dresses and boarded his golden carriage.
Since you are going to a banquet, you must not act too shabby.
In this way, Nalant's carriage with inscriptions obtained from the dwarves is a perfect match.
As the carriage moved forward, it soon came to the noble district of the royal capital of Nuuk again.
After entering the aristocratic area, the main road, which used to be slightly empty, also became busy.
A number of noble carriages gathered from various parts of the city.
Although Nalant's carriage was already a rare presence in the Black Rock Plains in the past.
But today, when he looked around, he had already discovered the existence of several carriages with the same inscriptions.
When other nobles saw his carriage, even though they didn't know him, they would politely give him priority.
In this way, following the rolling convoy of carriages, Nalant and others finally arrived at the gate of Duke Miller's manor.
There is no need to get off the car after arriving at the gate of the manor, because you can take a carriage directly into the manor tonight.
Duke Miller's manor occupies a very large area. If you get off the bus and walk, you will need to walk for at least ten minutes to reach the manor building.
For example, when Nalant came yesterday, he entered the gate and rode a special carriage inside the manor.
Today, because of the large number of people, it is more convenient for the nobles to ride in their own carriages.
At this moment, there were already two queues lined up at the entrance of Miller Manor.
There were fewer vehicles in one of the columns of carriages, but the carriages in that column were obviously much more luxurious than the other carriages. The carriages with inscriptions that Nalant had just seen on the road were also among them.
As for the other queue with a larger number of carriages, although there were many luxury carriages, ordinary carriages still accounted for the majority.
Obviously, this should be used to distinguish the status of nobles. For example, the queue with a smaller number must be the entry channel for the big nobles, who need invitations made of gold.
The larger queue is the entry channel for ordinary nobles, who use silver invitations to enter.
When Nalant saw this, he thought for a moment and prepared to head towards the noble passage.
After all, the queue of ordinary nobles has already been lined up with forty or fifty carriages, and it will probably take a lot of time to pass through.
Since I have a birthday invitation made of gold, it’s no use using it.
"Baron Nalant!" However, at this moment, Nalant suddenly heard someone calling him not far ahead.
Looking closely, it was the Marquis of Umm.
"Baron Narant, our invitation is here to enter!" Seeing that Narant saw him, Um immediately waved and explained.
"Okay! Marquis of Umm!" Seeing this, Nalant could only give up his previous thoughts and let the coachman drive the carriage towards the Marquis of Umm.
Just wait, the banquet hasn't started yet anyway, and if he runs to the passage of the nobles now, he will probably make the Marquis Um embarrassed and unable to get off the stage.
Narant still has this bit of emotional intelligence.
Seeing Nalant's carriage lined up behind him, Marquis Naum immediately smiled and nodded at him. He didn't know that Nalant could have entered the manor faster.
However, Nalant's move made many nobles around him fix their eyes on his carriage.
"What's going on? Which family's carriage is that? The carriage with the inscription is actually lined up on our side?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it's impossible to buy such an inscribed carriage without tens of thousands of gold coins!"
"Is it some great noble?"
"Pfft, how can it be a big noble? If it is a big noble, then it should be over there. Did you see that big nobles use gold invitations?"
"That's right. Could it be that some small aristocratic family cares about face and probably spent a lot of money to order such a luxurious carriage!"
"I guess that's it! Haha, I don't know which family it is from. It's really luxurious! Seeing that the noble young man is still very young, I'm afraid he is a dandy who just inherited the title."
"Tsk, tsk, with such extravagant spending, I'm afraid he will squander all the family wealth in a few years!"
