The manager of the trading company opened the door and walked into the room. The light in the room was slightly dim. A magician wearing a magic robe embroidered with golden dark patterns stood in front of the test bench, staring at the crucible in front of him with great concentration, gathering fire.
Under the steady heating of the magic scroll, the viscous liquid in the crucible was spitting out bubbles, and the room was filled with a pungent smell.
Seeing the manager of the business leading the guests in, the magician stopped what he was doing, took off the fishskin gloves on his hands and hung them on the stand. Then he turned around and looked at the door with a smile. Unexpectedly, it was Da.
Le Magician*!
Surdak did not expect to see the magician who had helped him twice in the trading house. He remembered that the first time was at the entrance of the underground trading market. At that time, the strong man guard at the entrance of the exchange prohibited him from entering.
In the underground trading market, the second time was in the bar where the slave auction was held. At that time, he was planning to buy two dwarf slaves, but was secretly stopped by the magician Daler. The reason was that those dwarf slaves were the notorious gray dwarves.
Not good at forging and mining.
When Magician Dale saw Mrs. Christie walking in with the manager of the business, he stepped forward to say hello familiarly: "Marianna, why are you here free?"
Mrs. Christie nodded to Magician Daler and said straight to the point: "I came to you this time to introduce a friend and plan to exchange some magic materials from your trading firm. Oh, this is Knight Surdak.
.”
Speaking, Mrs. Christie gave up half of her body, allowing Magician Dale to see Surdak standing behind.
“Hello, Magician Dale!” Surdak took a step forward and solemnly gave a knightly salute to Magician Dale.
The piercing eyes of the Dale magician fell on Surdak. He hesitated for two seconds, then walked up with a smile and patted his shoulder and said: "Suldak, I remember you. Last time we were in Slave
Saw it in the bar."
Magician Dalle invited everyone to sit on the sofa in the rest area of the laboratory, and the assistants were responsible for the magic experiments there.
“Tell me what you are going to ask me to identify?” Magician Dale sat opposite Surdak and asked Surdak curiously.
While Surdak took out the magic herbs from the magic waist bag and placed them one by one on the square table with angel reliefs on the four legs, the business manager sitting nearby leaned over and explained to Surdak: "Knight Surdak
, you can hand over the magic herbs to the Daler magician for identification. We will make a preliminary estimate of your magic herbs and post the information about these magic herbs on the notice board in the lobby on the second floor. Those who are in need of magic herbs
If buyers want to buy, they will definitely contact our firm. Of course, they must exchange the goods you specify for your magic herbs. In fact, our trading firm is a barter trading platform that can carry out multi-party transactions.
Complementary trading.”
"Let me see what these are. Oh, these magic herbs are very rare, but... they can only prepare special magic potions. This kind of starlight is rarely used in the formulas of common potions." Daler
The magician put a pair of crystal glasses on the bridge of his nose, picked up a magic grass, took a look at it and said, "Oh... this is starlight cattail grass, which has a wide range of uses. This magic grass can be used to prepare potions of courage or potions of fury. Potions of fury.
Magic potion recipes are widely circulated in the orc tribe. This is a nightmare vine, and many potion masters like to use it to prepare sleeping potions. These white ring vines, the sap of the white ring vine can repair magic parchment, you need to use these
What about the magic herbs?"
Surdak already knew the names of these magic herbs from his magic notes. When he saw the magic herb from Dalle asking him what magic herbs he needed, he quickly handed the list of herbs listed by Scholar Ferdinand to the magician from Dalle.
The teacher took the list, read it carefully, pondered for a moment and asked Suldak: "Heather, golden thorn grass...these are in short supply. Are these herbs only for magic herbs?"
Suldak nodded and said, "Yes, that's it."
Magician Daler stared at Surdak and asked: "If someone wants to trade magic crystals, gold coins or other magic materials, the value of which is several times or more than ten times higher than these magic grasses, are you willing to exchange them?"
?”
“I only change these magical herbs.” Surdak replied firmly.
Magician Dale nodded and said to the manager of the trading company: "Okay, just as Knight Surdak said, publish the details and demand for these magic herbs on the notice board, and then check all the sales of the trading company.
Catalog, see if there are any of these magic potions in the catalog, and if so, see what magic items the sellers need to redeem, and check these out..."
“I’ll do it right away, Mr. Dale Magician!” After the business manager finished speaking, he walked out of the room with the detailed list provided by Mr. Dalle Magician.
Magician Dale turned around and said to Surdak: "The buyer of this kind of transaction will not appear immediately. You need to wait patiently for a while. You can leave your address. If anyone wants to exchange, we can write to you.
If it is inconvenient to leave an address, come to the trading company every two weeks to check. If you are traveling far away, you must give it a carte blanche in advance. Magic herbs are very popular now. Although the magic potions you want to trade are also very rare, at least in
It can still be seen in the market, and I think there will be good news soon."
"Okay, Mr. Dale Magician." Surdak felt a little relieved when he heard what Mr. Dale Magician said.
Mrs. Christie did not interrupt the whole process, sitting aside and listening quietly. It was not until the transaction was completed that she looked at Suldak with admiration.
After entrusting these magic herbs to the trading house, Surdak was about to bid farewell to the magician Daler. At this time, he heard the magician Daler ask: "By the way, do you still have sulfur ore in your hand? If so, do you have any sulfur ore?"
, I want to purchase a batch."
Suldak readily agreed: "Yes, Magician Dale, how much are you prepared to ask for?"
Seeing that Surdak was so happy, Magician Dale's eyes lit up and he replied: "Of course, the more, the better. The current market price of sulfur ore in Helensa City is 4 silver coins per pound. The price is
It’s nearly 30% higher than the official purchase price, so it’s probably the most cost-effective time to sell it.”
“Is the Harlan plane where sulfur mines are produced been captured by the Dark Army?” Mrs. Christie asked Magician Dale with a surprised expression: “How come there is still a shortage of ordinary resources like sulfur mines?”
"I haven't heard any news from this place yet. It's probably because of the cold weather this winter. Now some alchemy workshops in Helensa City have started a match business. In addition to purchasing large quantities of red pine wood that is full of oil,
In addition, alchemical materials such as sulfur and red phosphorus are also indispensable. However, the existing sulfur in the magic market of Helensa City is not sufficient for the time being. The trading company has already paid for three sulfur mines in succession. "Dale Magic.
The teacher said to the two of them.
“I only have unrefined sulfur ore in hand. If possible, I can send you a batch next week.” Surdak said.
Although the heavy snow has completely blocked the mountain road, it is not that difficult for a knight like Suldak to return to Wall Village through the mountain road. It is just a round trip to the Knight Academy.
It would inevitably delay the course for a day or two, but considering that a reliable sales channel could finally be established for the sulfur mines in Wall Village, Surdak would agree to it anyway.
Suldak and Mrs. Christie walked out of the White Elephant Trading House. Karl was already waiting outside the company.
…
Boarding on the magic caravan, Carl and Mrs. Christie could not help but hug each other and kiss passionately in the carriage.
Surdak looked at the 'dog man and woman' in front of him speechlessly, wishing he could just jump out of the carriage. Even walking back to the Knight Academy would be better than sitting in the carriage, but Chris was sitting on the seat next to the carriage door.
Mrs. Ti's personal maid, however, looked out the window intently, as if she had long been accustomed to the scene in the carriage.
After a while, Karl realized that Suldak was still sitting in the carriage, then he sat up straight, straightened his wrinkled dress, and asked Suldak casually: "Is everything going well?"
Mrs. Christie sat next to Carl. Her fair face was like a ripe red apple. She didn’t know whether she was excited or shy. Her beautiful blue eyes were flowing, and she looked at Suldak boldly, her eyes full of curiosity.
“Well, just wait for the news quietly now.” Suldak glanced at Karl and replied.
Karl couldn't help but smile, and he randomly picked a topic and said: "By the way, I heard that Count Fornac's manor will hold an auction on the weekend. That manor has been abandoned for nearly three years. It has already been
It became a ghost castle that no one cares about, but now it seems to have increased in value again. The reason is that the bandit group that was raging around the city of Helensa was completely eliminated, and the stronghold of the Black Magic Priory was also eradicated. Many people in the city
The nobles who had spare money wanted to buy the manor."
Mrs. Christie's gentle eyes fell on Karl, and she asked Karl in a clear breath: "What? What do you think of that manor?" She had the momentum of "As long as you nod, I will buy it for you."
A faint smile appeared on Karl's face, he shook his head at Mrs. Christie and said: "I remember going to Fonak Manor before. The manor was really well built. I have no plans to do so for the time being. Suldak, do you have any plans?"
I have no idea of buying some property. If I buy that manor, the surrounding mountains and forests will be regarded as the property of Fonak Manor."
Suldak was a little surprised. He really hadn't thought about this. He was thinking about how much it would cost to buy the Fonak Manor.
Karl said to Suldak: "When you become a knight, you will own a knight's territory. However, the better land around Helensa City has been divided up. I have to say that the forest in Fonak Manor is a good one."
Even if you spend a little money to buy the land, it is still worth the money."
Surdak just thought about it and said to Karl: "I don't have that much spare money in my hand, and I also plan to develop Wall Village. In the future, my fiefdom should preferably be near Wall Village."
.”
Karl patted his money bag and said generously to Suldak: "If you are just short of money, I can help you find a way. Are you planning to choose your knight leader outside the mountain pass?"
Suldak replied without hesitation: "Yes, that's what I think. After all, my home is over there."
“Isn’t it a barren land over there? What use do you have of that worthless land?” Karl complained a little helplessly,
Suldak touched his forehead and said: "The land that can be allocated to me should not be too big. If you are picky, there are still many lands to choose from, including Wall Village."
Seeing that Suldak had no intention of buying the Fornak Manor, Karl could only give up and stop persuading: "Okay, but I suggest that you should still consider the Fornak Manor. If you take the photo now
It shouldn’t be too expensive, and you’re a member of the support squadron, so you don’t have to worry too much about the security of Fornak Manor…”
“Is Tax Collector Byrd okay?” Suldak asked Karl, leaning on the sofa.
This warm-hearted tax official brought Surdak back to Wall Village. If he hadn't led the way, it would have been no easy task for Surdak to find that remote village.
"He just drank a little too much. He usually has a good drinking capacity, but I don't know what happened recently, and he has been in a very low mood." Karl replied.
The magic caravan drove all the way to the Knight Academy, and placed Suldak at the gate of the Knight Academy. The magic caravan quickly disappeared into the dusk.
Surdak returned to the dormitory of the Knight Academy, and found some cold scones to fill his stomach. He drank a glass of cold water and felt much more energetic. Then he took out the magic notebook from the magic pocket,
When I was in the library at noon, I turned to the last page of the magic notebook and saw the portrait of a girl who looked a bit like Selena, and almost fell into it.
After leaving the library, Surdak remembered that when he was hunting down the bandit gang in the Grand Canyon, he also found a portrait of Selena. That portrait was obviously different from the last page of the magic notebook. In the hands of the bandits,
That portrait looks more similar to Selena.
The portrait of Selena in the magic notebook is younger and has the aura of a charming dark goddess.
Suldak was mentally prepared and opened the magic notebook by the bed again, slowly turning to the last page. The girl in the portrait was clearly what Selina looked like when she was young. Maybe it was because of the charcoal.
, her eyes were black, and just when Surdak turned to look at another portrait of Selena, the picture of Selena as a girl on the magic note looked toward Surdak strangely on the parchment.
Smile...
That creepy feeling made Suldak break into a cold sweat.
