There was some noise in the tavern, and the girls had large trays on their heads filled with ale, and they flexibly shuttled among the guests in the tavern.
Only the area near the bar seemed more polite. The bar girls placed empty wine glasses on the bar. The proprietress behind the bar quickly brought the glasses full of ale and put together a large tray. She also chatted with the bar girls.
sentence, and then you see these wine girls walking among the drinkers again. If you want to have a drink with these ale girls, you not only have to pay double the price of the drink, but you also have to buy the glass of wine that the ale girls drank.
, is considered a treat.
Obviously no one in the bar deliberately poured alcohol into Tax Collector Byrd. Suldak glanced at Tax Collector Byrd and saw him lowering his head and smiling stupidly at the glass of ale in front of him. It was obvious that he had drunk too much.
Suldak likes to have a plate of nuts with his wine, preferably charcoal-grilled and coated with salt.
The tavern proprietress saw Karl's friends coming over, so she stood aside to clean the wine glasses and stopped coming to chat with Karl.
Karl will go out of the city with the rescue squadron tomorrow to inspect the villages and towns around the city of Halanza and the noble estates.
After heavy snowfall, some bandit groups often appear and take advantage of the heavy snowfall to rob some edge villages and towns, taking advantage of the inconvenience of transportation. The guard battalion and rescue group will be busy for a period of time.
If it weren't for Suldak still attending classes at the Knight Academy, he would also like to follow Karl out of the city. After the heavy snow seals the mountains, some magical beasts hidden deep in the mountains will also run out. At this time, some demon hunters are the most likely to
Best hunting time.
Two attendants pushed open the door of the tavern, and Mrs. Christie walked in angrily from the outside. Even the drunken drinkers, seeing Mrs. Christie's strong aura, would move out of the way and silence themselves.
Mrs. Christie walked to Karl and sat down on the high stool in front of the bar. The tavern proprietress quickly poured a glass of golden cider skillfully and sent it to Mrs. Christie's side.
“Why did he drink so much?” Mrs. Christie looked at the dull-looking tax collector Bird and asked Karl in confusion.
In her impression, although this fat tax collector likes to drink, he is usually very self-disciplined and rarely drinks like this.
Karl also rubbed his forehead in distress, and explained to Mrs. Christie innocently: "Who knew... I have been in a very low mood since I came out of Christie Castle. He got himself drunk before we sat here for long.
Already."
“How was the lunch today? Why do you think you are in a bad mood?” Carl asked Mrs. Christie.
At this moment, Suldak was completely transparent. The lady proprietor of the tavern next to her turned around and pushed a plate of dried fish to Suldak. The plate was very small, and the dried fish looked very delicate. There was also half a piece of lemon in the narration.
Suldak glanced at the tavern proprietress in confusion, pointed at his nose, and asked in confusion: "Is it for me?"
“Please try the new snacks in the tavern,” the landlady said to Suldak with a smile.
Her voice is very soft and friendly.
Suldak quickly replied with a thank you. No wonder the tavern was full in the afternoon. It seemed that the proprietress in the tavern was very good at doing business.
Mrs. Christie, who was sitting on the other side of Carl, was also complaining to Carl at this time: "Today is really terrible, a bunch of self-righteous guys, Bernard should kick all those people out, those guys! Uh... Really!"
The tavern proprietress seemed to be very familiar with Mrs. Christie. She couldn't help turning her head and asked: "What happened? What made you so angry..."
Mrs. Christie rested her arms on the bar and held the wine glass in both hands but was not busy drinking.
"What else can there be? In the past two days, Hoyle has been in a very low mood. In order to cheer up Hoyle, Bernard specially invited some young nobles to visit the castle. Who would have thought that those young people would
He ran in front of Darcy and tried his best to show off his talent and knowledge, but left Hoyle aside. Bernard's original intention was to make Hoyle happier, but unexpectedly, it made Hoyle's mood worse.
He didn't even last until the end of the luncheon and left early." Mrs. Christie complained.
The tavern proprietress said with sympathy: "How could they do this?"
Mrs. Christie sighed softly and said: "Maybe she feels that Hoyle is involved in the Black Magic Priory, and if she marries her home, it will bring disaster to their family."
Karl asked with a surprised look on his face: "So...even if Hoyle has a rich dowry and a title, no one is willing to try to date her?"
"Well!" Mrs. Christie looked at Suldak at this time, raised her glass to him and said, "...Suldak, I haven't expressed my gratitude to you yet."
“It’s nothing, it’s just a coincidence.” Suldak smiled modestly.
Mrs. Christie asked: "I heard you want to participate in the auction?"
This is also the reason why Suldak gathered in the tavern in the afternoon.
If not, Karl would be traveling soon, and he and Mrs. Christie would definitely be spending the two-person world together at this time.
There are some high-end auctions in the city of Helensa, which usually only nobles can participate in. Karl rarely participates in such auctions, so he can't give Surdak any good advice, so he asked Mrs. Christie to recommend it.
Surdak said directly: "I want to buy some magic herbs. I have searched almost all the magic herbal stores in Helensa. I can't buy those magic herbs everywhere. I can only try my luck at the auction house.
.”
Suldak wanted to ask Scholar Ferdinand to prepare a magic potion that could suppress the black curse, otherwise the sacrifice of the sand wolf head alone would not last long.
Mrs. Christie frowned slightly. Her brows were very similar to Darcy Christie's. They both had strong personalities and were usually not too tactful when talking to familiar people. She said to Suldak: "Now the auction house
It’s not easy to buy magic herbs here. Many magic pharmacists are eyeing the auction houses. As long as magic herbs appear in the auction houses, no matter how expensive they are, they will eventually buy them at a high price.”
Obviously Mrs. Christie was talking about the current situation in Helensa City. The current magic herbal market in Helensa City is controlled by a few magic pharmacists, so much so that several magic medicine shops in the city can no longer operate and have closed down one after another.
Mrs. Christie did not say something clearly, but Suldak had already understood the meaning. Even if he spent a high price to grab those magic herbs in the auction house, it would be of no use. If he offended those magic pharmacists, he would not be willing to do anything.
Surdak prepares a magic potion.
Surdak smiled slightly distressedly, thinking that he could either buy some low-level sacrifices such as sand wolf heads, or simply follow Karl's support squadron to wander around the wild, and maybe hunt other monsters.
.
Seeing Suldak's silence, Mrs. Christie added: "I know there is a special trading firm that can accept entrustments to purchase magic items. Although the commission is a bit expensive, many rare magic items can be ordered from him.
Goods, and the most special thing about that trading house is that it advocates barter. If you have some rare magic materials, I suggest you try your luck there."
“Where is that trading house?” Karl also asked Mrs. Christie with a curious look on his face.
Mrs. Christie looked at Suldak and said to him: "It's in the underground trading market. If you decide to go, I can be your recommender."
Suldak thought that he still kept some magic herbs belonging to the black magician Cyrus Hickok in his magic pocket, and that he might be able to exchange them for the magic herbs he needed. Thinking of this, he said: "I want to try my luck, Christie."
lady."
Mrs. Christie said to Suldak: "You can call me Mary or Mariana."
Now that he had decided to go to that trading house, he was ready to set off immediately. Karl looked at the drunk tax collector Byrd and said with some distress: "I have to send this guy back first. You take Suldak to the trading house first."
Trading company, I will rush over to meet you later."
Karl’s retinue carried Tax Collector Byrd out of the tavern and onto Karl’s carriage.
Mrs. Christie's attendant led Suldak to a magic caravan on the street. Mrs. Christie sat in the carriage and gave instructions to the carriage driver. The carriage drove slowly down the street that had not yet been completely cleared of snow.
In the underground trading market, Suldak's ancient Bolai horse was tied behind the carriage and followed it slowly.
The carriage was very peaceful. Mrs. Christie was sitting opposite Suldak, but her eyes were always on Suldak and she kept looking at him. After a moment of silence, Mrs. Christie took the lead and asked: "You
How did you meet Darcy?"
Suldak knew that Mrs. Christie would find an opportunity to ask this, so he said calmly: "Back then, I served in the 57th Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment of the Bena Army. Our infantry regiment happened to be stationed at the southwest forest farm camp in the hilly pasture. Darcy
.The Swordsman Academy where Miss Christie belongs organizes a plane training group..."
There is nothing to hide about these things.
Mrs. Christie seemed to have heard this for the first time, and her mouth formed an O shape. Based on her understanding of her niece, Darcy Christie was definitely not the kind of character who would not seek revenge. She asked Surda in surprise.
K: "So... although you and Darcy knew each other before, they were not friends. Instead, they had some grudges?"
Suldak continued: "That's pretty much it. Before leaving Handanar City, I took action to teach Norton a lesson..."
Mrs. Christie held back her laughter and said to Suldak: "Ha! I have heard about Darcy's experience before. She decided to return to Helensa City and teach at the Knight Academy, which is more or less related to that incident.
It has something to do with it."
Then he said with emotion: "I didn't expect that you would meet again in the city of Halanza, and you would also successfully resolve the previous grievances."
…”
Suldak suddenly felt that Mrs. Christie's eyes had changed, and she looked more like an amiable elder when she looked at him, which made a cold sweat break out on his back.
…
Fortunately, the underground trading market is not too far from the tavern. Although the streets in Helensa City are not very smooth, the Christie family crest is hung on the outside of the carriage. It has the right of way no matter where it goes. The carriages on the road have to give way.
, so it didn’t take much time to reach the entrance of the underground trading market.
Suldak has been to this underground trading market more than once, but he didn't know that there was actually a trading house here.
The magic caravan stopped, Mrs. Christie got out of the magic caravan, and walked into the gate of the underground trading market with Suldak. When the burly gatekeeper saw Mrs. Christie, he clenched his fist respectfully on his chest and acted like a standard warrior.
present.
Mrs. Christie did not go directly into the underground trading market, but asked the gatekeeper: "Is the magician of Daler here..."
This trading firm is located on the second floor of the underground trading market. If someone hadn't led the way, Suldak didn't even notice that there was another staircase behind the strong man guarding the door. He walked into the trading firm on the second floor of the building. A trading firm manager
He quickly walked to Mrs. Christie and greeted Christie very warmly: "Good afternoon, distinguished Mrs. Christie, welcome to White Elephant Trading Company. Is there anything I can help you with?"
At this time, Surdak saw a row of notice boards on the left and right walls of the trading house hall. The notice boards were filled with rows of information, most of which were demand purchase information. These notice boards
There is also a small amount of information about selling strange magic items.
After hearing Mrs. Christie's explanation of the purpose of her visit, the manager of the trading firm introduced Suldak and said: "Knight Suldak, our firm specializes in the transaction of rare magic items. You can store some magic materials or magic weapons you want to sell with us.
In our trading firm, we will sell it for you. If you want to exchange for magic crystals, you can also trade directly with our firm. If you are not satisfied with the price given by our firm, you can also specify the price and store it in our firm.
It can be sold on behalf of you, or it can be exchanged for other magic items you need."
Suldak said directly to the business manager: "I need some magic herbs, and what I can take out now are some magic herbs."
Hearing what Suldak said, the manager of the trading company immediately showed a happy expression and said: "It is definitely the wisest choice for you to come to our trading company. Our trading company has professional magic material appraisers who can price your magic herbs.
, and then you can estimate how much magic herbs you need based on your needs. It is indeed much easier to exchange magic herbs for magic herbs than to purchase magic crystals. Please follow me."
The three of them did not stay in the lobby on the second floor of the trading house. The manager of the trading company took Suldak and Mrs. Christie directly to the third floor of the trading company. The manager of the trading company stopped in front of a door and knocked carefully.
