A group of friends from the city of Helensa gathered in a tavern. Three gentlemen, Suldak, Carl and Tax Officer Byrd, sat together and chatted. The ladies gathered around Mrs. Mariana. Miss Hoyle seemed to have walked out.
After that period of haze, her whole person became much calmer, and even her smile had the aura of a superior person. It is said that she has been obtained as a reserve member of the Helensa City Council. As long as a member of the council retires, Miss Hoyle will be very happy.
Maybe it's the new congressman.
Since the death of Baron Llewellyn, Suldak has not seen Miss Brenda for some time. She has lost a lot of weight recently. Her already very tall figure looks more like a clothes rack. She is not as smiling as before.
A kind of beauty that has accumulated over time.
When she looked at Suldak, her eyes were calm, with no other emotions except a little admiration.
The ladies drank a little golden cider, and there was much to talk about.
Tax Collector Bird's life has become more regular recently, and Miss Hoyle controls his drinking and requires him to do appropriate exercise every day. Although he himself does not feel any changes, others can feel the changes in him.
I am much more energetic than half a year ago.
Karl and Tax Officer Byrd talked about the embarrassing incident that Suldak encountered while selling sulfur ore. Tax Officer Byrd curiously asked Suldak:
"Duck, which trading house did you go to?"
"Tricolor iris."
Surdak replied without thinking.
Tax Collector Byrd and Miss Hoyle looked at each other with strange expressions.
Lady Mariana also looked at Suldak with a surprised look on her face and said nothing.
Tax Collector Byrd chuckled and said to Suldak: "Well, of course that trading house will lower your price. Even if they don't do your business, they won't let you sell sulfur ore to their trading house.
The reason is simple...it's the Bulwer family's business."
"You mean because of Armand Bulwer?" Suldak asked Tax Officer Byrd.
"Of course, that guy Armand is not a broad-minded person." Tax Collector Byrd said.
Surdak didn't expect that he would have to deal with the Bulwer family everywhere in Helensa City. He couldn't help but have a headache. There was no way to explain this kind of thing. He couldn't tell Armand that he and Darcy Christie had nothing to do with Ben.
"Dak, since sulfur ore cannot be sold at a high price in Helensa City, you should actually go to other cities to find sales. I know that there are workshops in Constantinople that are always preparing fire scale bombs.
The workshop should have a certain relationship with the Bena Legion."
In this regard, he is more knowledgeable than Karl.
"Okay, then I'll go to Constantinople and have a look." Suldak said.
If Tax Collector Byrd said so, it was worth the trip.
Karl interjected at this time: "I remember that Mariana has a best friend who lives in Constantinople. Mariana, what is the name of your friend in Constantinople?"
Mrs. Mariana didn't want to get involved in this matter, so she sat next to her without saying a word. The reason was that her identity was relatively sensitive. She was friends with Suldak here, and her niece Darcy Christie on the other side.
Her husband, it seems that Lady Mariana has absolutely no reason to help Suldak.
But since this was proposed by Karl on his own initiative, it means that he has made his position clear, and he is completely on Suldak's side.
If Mrs. Mariana didn't pick up the topic, she would sigh softly. The young man next to her was good at everything, but he valued friendship too much.
Lady Mariana pursed her lips and said to Karl:
"Are you discussing Lady Annabelle?"
Karl suddenly remembered this name that Mariana often talked about, nodded immediately and said:
"That's right, it's Mrs. Annabelle. Suldak wants to open up the market for the sulfur ore in his hand. He heard that Constantinople needs a lot of sulfur ore, and he wants to establish certain connections with the workshops there.
, you know a good friend who happens to be a powerful person in Constantinople, can you write her a letter and ask her for help."
To be honest, Lady Mariana didn't want to write, but she had to write. She smiled a little reluctantly, looked at Karl and said: "Of course, no problem, I will write her a letter tonight, Knight Surdak, you
You can go directly to Constantinople to visit her with my letter."
"OK!"
Suldak said.
It wasn't until the tavern party broke up and Lady Mariana and Carl boarded the magic caravan and returned to Lady Mariana's apartment near the Magic Tower that Lady Mariana complained to Karl, blaming him for not telling him about this matter.
If this information were to reach Armand Bulwer's ears in the future, it would be very difficult for Darcy.
Karl did not expect that the situation inside was so complicated, and quickly told Mrs. Mariana that he would not do this again.
…
Suldak came to Constantinople with a letter written by Lady Mariana.
Judging from the map, Constantinople and Hiranza are two cities in Osorno County, Bena Province, but Hiranza is the westernmost mountain town in the Tarapagan region, while Constantine
The castle is located in the center of Osorno County, where transportation is very convenient and it is connected to several surrounding cities by wide highways.
In contrast, the transportation industry in remote mountain cities like Halanza City is not developed. As long as there are many mountains here, most of the roads are difficult to travel.
Surdak usually did not have the opportunity to visit places outside the city of Hiranza. This time he rode to Constantinople. It took five days. Surdak stood on horseback in Constantinople.
In front of the city gate, I looked back at the road I had traveled. Thinking of transporting sulfur ore to Constantinople, this road was probably the biggest problem.
Constantinople was built on a large piece of red rock. One end of this red rock is connected to the jungle, and the other end is a low cliff with a drop of more than 30 meters.
Since the foundation is built on a huge rock, it means that the city has no underground water source.
The drinking water in Constantinople was brought into the city from a clear water river.
The clear river flows from the forest, passes through Constantinople, forms a small waterfall on the red rock cliff, and falls into a crescent-shaped lake under the red rock.
Constantinople is larger than Hiranza, and has tens of thousands more permanent residents than Hiranza. This city is surrounded by vast forests, like a shining pearl in the green sea.
The city wall is also a slightly double-standard building. One side is close to the cliff, so it is an arc-shaped wall. It also looks very thin and looks like a simple fence. As for the other side of the city that borders the forest,
Sections of the city wall are made up of straight sections, with a joint every two hundred yards, and a tall arrow tower built on each joint.
Surdak wore a noble badge on his chest, and the guard at the door immediately let him go.
Arriving in Constantinople, Suldak found that although the buildings in this city were not as compact as Hiranza, they were more orderly. Every street here was straight, and many public areas in the city were
There is a wooden map of Constantinople, with the main divisions of the city clearly marked on the map.
Surdak went directly to the city's workshop area, where the streets were filled with various workshops. It seemed that Constantinople's industry was more developed than that of Hiranza.
After walking around the workshop area twice, unfortunately, he could not find the workshop that specialized in making fire scale bombs for the Bena Legion. Surdak could only take out the autographed letter written by Lady Mariana and came to Constantinople.
The most gorgeous aristocratic area, according to the address written on the letter, came to the front of a castle in the city.
The guard at the gate stopped Suldak, and Suldak quickly took out the letter written by Mariana and handed it to the guard at the gate.
When the guard saw that the name written on the letter was 'Mrs. Annabelle Luther Owen', he naturally did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly sent the letter into the castle.
Surdak did not wait at the door, but left the address of his temporary hotel and left from the door.
Suldak read the name on the envelope and felt it was familiar. It wasn't until he saw Lady Annabella in the Owen family's living room the next day that he felt that the aristocratic circle in Bena City was really small. This Anna in front of him
Mrs. Bella is clearly Hathaway's aunt. When they took the magic airship from Helensa City to Bena City, they even played cards together.
Lady Annabelle also did not expect that the person who came to visit was actually Baron Suldak, and he was recommended by Mariana Christie.
Lady Annabelle, who was sitting on the main seat, waved her hand and asked the maid to bring tea and fruits before quickly retreating.
"Baron Suldak, Mariana has already said in the letter that you are here to establish supply and sales contacts with the firearms workshop. Although the person in charge of this workshop belongs to the Owen family, I am not familiar with it. I can let him
Someone will take you to see him, but whether the negotiation can be concluded depends on how well you negotiate!" Lady Annabelle sat on a high table and chair, leaned over and said to Suldak in the audience.
"Then thank you, Mrs. Annabelle!" Suldak stood in the middle of the carpet under the stage and said to Mrs. Annabelle.
Lady Annabelle pursed her lips and smiled slightly, waved to a confidant beside her, and then said to the confidant maid: "Take Baron Suldak to see Baron Iman of the firearms workshop..."
The maid nodded repeatedly, then walked up to Suldak and said respectfully: "Baron, please come with me!"
Lady Annabelle stood by the window on the third floor of the castle, watching her trusted maid take Surdak through the front courtyard of the manor. She did not expect to see Surdak again in Constantinople. She came from the sea a few days ago.
Sevi heard from her mouth that the territory of Baron Surdak was a volcano with a lava pool on top that was constantly burning, so she felt that his choice was a bit unique.
When I saw that he had made a special trip to Constantinople to sell sulfur mines, I felt that he really had a lot of ideas...
