Chapter 1338 1325. Surprise

 The dusk in Wilkes City reveals the breath of spring. The white willows that have just sprouted buds on the street are swaying in the breeze. The entire block is filled with a faint aroma of resin. Pedestrians have secretly put on more clothes.

The young girls even took off their woolen socks under their skirts and bloated clothes to show off their beautiful figures.

The streets were rendered with a hint of twilight, and the setting sun had completely sunk below the horizon.

The carriages on the street seemed to be traveling faster, and everyone was hurrying to get home before dark.

However, there are dozens of gorgeous carriages parked in front of the house of the merchant Malacom. These carriages also have gold and silver patterns on the exterior. Compared with the carriages of the nobles, they just lack some emblems that show the family heritage.

This is the largest home in Wilkes City owned by the Malacomb merchants.

Although this house located at No. 51 Colin Street is not the most gorgeous house on the shopping street, it is still one of the top mansions on the shopping street.

In the past, Merchant Malacom even felt that he would be under some inexplicable pressure living in this house. He watched the business of the Thunder Rhinoceros Merchant Group shrink little by little, and the number of Thunder Rhinoceros in the business group's normal service was reduced one by one.

, he sat alone in the pavilion in the back garden and smoked.

But now, in just three years, the Malacomb merchant has transformed into one of the top businessmen in Wilkes City.

There is no doubt that in the past three years, he has been closely following the footsteps of Lord Surdak step by step. Unknowingly, his family's business group has expanded to what it is now. He just started from

They rushed back from the Imperial Capital. This time they not only purchased two hundred sky-shooting crossbows in San Carlos City, but also purchased a large amount of supplies in the Imperial Capital. The amount of magic crystals spent alone was nearly 100,000.

It seems unclear how much money Malacom merchants spent. In the Green Empire, three copper coins can buy one pound of wheat flour, one gold coin can be exchanged for ten thousand copper coins, and one magic crystal can buy one pound of wheat flour.

Exchanged into seven gold coins (it used to be ten. The outbreak of the plane war led to a decrease in the exchange rate between magic crystals and gold coins). Then one hundred thousand magic crystals is equivalent to seven hundred thousand gold coins. If exchanged into copper plates, it may be regarded as seven

Ten small goals.

Merchants who make large-scale purchases often have close ties with the lord's army.

The Malakom merchants spent so much money this time, basically for purchasing for Surdak's lord army.

This time, Surdak's gains from the battle in the Dark Worm Valley, combined with the gains from hunting newt ghost snakes, could probably just make up the figure of 100,000 magic crystals.

Of course, the subsequent pensions, merit awards, and war allowances would require him to spend a large amount of money. Fortunately, the Battle of Loon Lake in the southern part of the Three Rivers Plain allowed Surdak to make up for this amount.

Although war is a hugely profitable industry, Lord Surdak bought two hundred sky-shooting crossbows in order to defend against the northern rocs, which can be regarded as a huge investment.

These sky-shooting crossbows will be deployed in the areas of Dark Worm Valley and the two mines. At the same time, Suldak also plans to allocate thirty-seven sky-shooting crossbows to the thirty-seven aboriginal tribes in the Invercargill Forest.

To ward off those northern pengs.

The Malacom merchants arrived in Wilkes City with two hundred sky-shooting crossbows.

Lord Surdak's army also just arrived here. These lords' army plans to return to Bena City through the portal, and then rush back to Ruit City without stopping, and then return to the Ganbu plane.

The Malacom businessman, dressed in gorgeous clothes, led his eleven wives to stand at the gate of the manor, welcoming the guests who came from the city.

The house was brightly lit, and bursts of melodious music came from the courtyard.

What followed was the sound of the clinking of glasses, the pop of the cork being removed from the oak barrel, and the sound of grease dripping on the charcoal fire.

Almost all of the guests he invited were businessmen from Wilkes City.

When they heard that Lord Suldak was going to be a guest at Malacom's home, almost all Wilkes businessmen tried their best to get an invitation to the ball written by Malacom himself.

Some businessmen even planned to spend a lot of money to purchase the right to participate in the ball, just because Lord Surdak would appear at the ball.

Three years ago, Lin Mingfa on the Bai Lin plane had not even heard of the name Surdak.

Two years ago, the lords only knew that Suldak was the reckless noble viscount who fought with the magicians of the Alchemy Guild for the Invercargill Forest.

Now, Surdak has become the great lord of the Ganbu plane, and organized a lord army last autumn, and then successively occupied the Three Rivers Plain and the Dark Worm Valley in the Bailin plane. Now Surdak

Lord Ke has become the lord with the largest land area in the Bailin plane.

This time Lord Surdak's army swept across the northern occupied area of ​​Bailin plane.

The only ones who don't get along so well with Lord Surdak are the other lords of the Bailin plane.

The various grievances between Surdak and the lords of the Bailin plane cannot affect the eagerness of the merchants in Wilkes City to visit Lord Surdak.

Everyone knows that as long as you follow Lord Surdak's army, you can make money.

The business groups that entered the battlefield this time all made money this time, especially businessman Malacom, who made a lot of money.

Seeing the merchant Malacom standing at the gate with his face glowing, smiling and greeting the businessmen who entered the house in a long line, many businessmen who had rejected Malacom before felt a little uncomfortable at this time.



Investment vision is really important! This time, Merchant Malacom has not only returned to the heyday of the Thunder Rhino Business Group decades ago, but she is also currently expanding the Thunder Rhino Business Group.

With the current development momentum, Malacom has become the largest trading house in the transportation industry in the northern region of the Bailin plane. More than 80% of the iron and copper ingots in Wilkes City are produced by Malacom.

The Mu Merchant Group is responsible for the transportation.

Even the businessmen who would immediately yell at Malacom when they met him in the past would wear a smiling mask and come here to drink the soup tonight.

Surdak's lord army is now stationed outside Wilkes City. The military camp tent almost completely covers a small sand hill outside the city. The noble lords in the city who usually constantly curse Surdak

We, collectively lost our voices at this time...

The merchants and Malacom were chatting at the door, but no one was in a hurry to enter the yard, so more and more people gathered at the gate.

A detachment of cavalry appeared on Colin Street at dusk.

The clear sound of horse hoofs trampling on the stone slabs can be heard from a distance. Surdak rode a magic-patterned war horse at the front. Samira and Gary Decker accompanied him to attend the dance.

They were all wearing the tight-fitting light armor they usually wear. Surdak was also wearing a magic pattern outfit and did not wear a noble dress.

A team of construct knights followed the three of them, very conspicuous as they walked on the street.

Although he was not that familiar with Wilkes City, Suldak had been here at least several times, so it was natural for him to introduce the buildings on both sides of the street to Samira and Gary Decker.

In front of the Lacombe merchant's house, I discovered that there were more than a hundred people waiting at the door.

Seeing Lord Surdak riding a horse at the front, many merchants who participated in this plane war immediately introduced to their companions: "Look at the person riding a horse walking in the front, that is Lord Surdak."

Merchant Malaccom was the first to welcome him out, bringing his eleven wives to Surdak's horse, and even offered to lead Surdak's horse.

Surdak looked around at the gorgeously dressed businessmen, jumped off his horse nimbly, threw the reins of the war horse in his hand to the construct knight guard behind him, patted the Malacom businessman on the shoulder very affectionately, and smiled at him

Said: "Malacom, did your trip to the imperial capital go smoothly?"

"Lord Suldak, it's going very well. The businessmen in San Carlos City heard that our plane wars have been successful one after another. This time they brought a large amount of magic crystals, and they will shoot into the sky almost the same day.

Crossbow packing truck..." the Malacom merchant said very respectfully.

Then they brought a group of wives to salute Suldak, and the group walked into the manor surrounded by Suldak, Samira and Carrie Decker.

The youngest and most beautiful wife of the Malacom merchant even took the initiative to accompany Surdak. Her white dress was like an unbloomed lily bud, wrapped in a piece of water. The tender and smooth ivory, and her long golden hair were like

The golden stamens exude a refreshing fragrance.

Regarding the shameless behavior of the Malacom merchants, the merchants following the team were both contemptuous, jealous, and envious.

Surdak, however, looked at the road ahead intently, chatting with Malacom from time to time, mainly about the purchase of military supplies. He put his hand on Malacom's shoulder, and the two of them

Walk intimately into the front garden filled with colorful lights.

A group of female dependents were waiting in the yard. Suldak could tell that these female dependents should be companions brought by other businessmen, some were young and beautiful, and some were mature and charming. The woman saw a group of people surrounding Malacom and a group of people.

A constructed knight, who didn't know that this person in front of him was Lord Suldak.

Standing on both sides of the garden corridor, the female relatives rushed forward, everyone wanted to see the appearance of Lord Surdak.

The burly figure is very evocative, and the sharply carved face with shallow scars and stubble exudes the aura of a strong man. Many young ladies crowded on the corridor even want to close their eyes.

The eyes just stick together.

It’s just that there are many people who think this way. You pull my corset straps, and I pull your lace collar. No one is willing to give this position to others, and instead allows Surdak to quickly pass through this corridor.

road.

It was the first time for Suldak to participate in this kind of merchant's dance. Compared with the restraint of the noble ladies and the looseness of the noble women, the ladies of these merchant families did not have such great aura, but the scene was very happy and everyone would know it.

Put down your airs and enjoy the beauty of youth happily.

Surdak just sat at the ball for a while, saying hello to a dozen businessmen who were introduced by Malacom himself. They all sat down and chatted casually, and then Malacom invited more people.

In the quieter guest room of the inner house.

Malacom and Suldak were sitting on the sofa on the second floor terrace. From here, through the marble fence, they could just see the lively dance floor in the front garden.

There are several pots of green plants on the terrace, which are very hidden from the outside view. There are several plates of exquisite dried fruits on the small coffee table, and the cups are filled with craft ale. Malacom's two youngest wives accompany him.

On the side, it is obvious that he is deeply favored by Malacom.

"I heard that the magic crossbows in the imperial capital can be mass-produced?" Surdak asked Malacom.

"It is indeed the case, and the price of this giant magic crossbow is very low. Now the hand-engraved magic crossbows in the imperial capital have almost disappeared. The market is full of such low-priced and stable magic crossbows. This time I

I placed a large order for them and purchased a hundred thousand pieces." Malacom said.

"Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to take a bite?" Suldak took a sip of the ale and looked at Malacom.

"If you can't eat it, put it in my warehouse. Sooner or later, your lord's army will have a fierce battle with the northern roc. Magic crossbows are necessary to kill the roc!" Malacom said without even raising his head.

He peeled off the pine nuts one by one and said slowly.

"Samira, did you hear that, this time Malacom ordered 100,000 magic crossbow arrows for you from the imperial capital. You have to find a way to use these 100,000 magic crossbow arrows to earn back my capital!" Suldak

Said to the half-elf archer sitting next to him.

Samira rolled her eyes and said nothing.

"Is anyone taking the order for the magic airship?" Suldak asked Malacom again.

"The core floating magic devices of the large magic airship involve some Hex technology, and they are basically transported back from the dwarf kingdom. Although the three-masted magic airship only has twelve floating devices, it still needs to be made by dwarves, so

This kind of large-scale airship customization basically has a one-year delivery time." Malacom said to Suldak: "This time I went to the airport town in the imperial capital. There are only workshops that can produce magic airships.

There are seven of them, and I found the one with the best reputation."

Suldak nodded.

"By the way, I met a grand magic item auction in the imperial capital this time, so I brought you a surprise!" Merchant Malakom said to Suldak with a mysterious face.

"Really? The surprise you gave me last time was a group of indigenous maids. I hope you won't have such a surprise this time." Suldak reminded half-jokingly.

"Of course not!"

With that said, he stood up and asked Suldak to follow him.

Surdak followed the merchant Malacom and walked through the long corridor to an underground warehouse. Malacom opened three large iron doors with complicated designs and finally took Surdak and others away.

Entering the warehouse, when the servants lit the torches on the walls of the warehouse, the light suddenly returned to the warehouse. The spacious warehouse was actually filled with magic-sealing boxes. After a casual glance, Surdak knew that this place was at least

There are hundreds of No. 2 Demon Sealing Boxes.

Malacom stepped forward and asked the servant to move down a magic-sealing box, and then he personally opened the lid of the box...

A set of armor engraved with magic patterns was wrapped in translucent oil paper and lay quietly inside.
