When Reggie arrived at the manor, Batchelor was sitting alone in front of Alice's door.
The furnishings in the room were as usual, as if the girl had never left. Reggie sat next to Bachelo. Through this period of contact, Reggie had some understanding of Bachelo. When he didn't want to talk,
, it is best to stay quiet with him, otherwise every word that comes out of his mouth will be perfunctory.
"She has returned to the royal capital." Batchelor finally spoke.
"How do you know? Did she leave a letter?"
"No," Batchelor shook his head and said, "I recalled every word she said to me. She stayed in Broken Snow City for three years. During these three years, she always wanted to return to the Royal Capital.
Especially after the Prime Minister appeared, I could see the desire and expectation in her eyes. She should have left with the Prime Minister's team."
"If you need it, I will ask Gusta Knight to chase her back immediately."
"She has left your territory. She should have arrived at Zhilin City."
Reggie said: "I think the lord of Zhilin City should be a reasonable person, and he should not refuse a father's request."
"Father?" Batchelor said with a self-deprecating smile, "This is simply ironic to me. I don't have the qualifications. Let her go. It's better than letting her stay in Shattering Snow City with me."
This sentence is a bit hurtful. It seems that Bachelo no longer has any hope for Shattered Snow City.
Of course, he still has hope for Reggie.
"I'm worried that she will spread some unfavorable remarks about you," Batchelor said. "I'm afraid that she will tell the king about your attitude towards alien creatures."
"So what?" Reggie said with a smile, "I have already broken up with the king, am I still afraid that he will add another guilt?"
Batchelor shook his head and said: "Sir, not only the Kingdom of Ryan, but all countries cannot tolerate the existence of aliens."
"All countries? Are you so sure?" Reggie stood up and said, "This world is very big. My great bachelor, there is always a country that is not so narrow."
Batchelor raised his head, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "Is there really such a country?"
"That's how it is in Broken Snow City, what do you think?" Reggie smiled slightly and hugged Batchelor, "I'm leaving, and you don't have to send me off. Have a good rest. If you change your mind and want to chase her,
When you come back, remember to find me in the castle."
…
Batchelor did not change his mind, he respected Alice's choice.
Nelson's caravan returned three days later, bringing a second batch of goods, including the tape and canvas ordered by Reggie.
Adhesive paper is a specialty of Yuhua City in the south. This city has constant rain all year round. In the extremely humid environment, the writing on the parchment will become very blurry within a few days, and the paper will become moldy within a few months.
Decay.
In order to facilitate the preservation of documents, people in Yuhua City boiled animal sebum into glue and soaked the paper with this special glue. The resulting glue paper is very strong and waterproof. Of course, the price of this kind of paper is also three times that of ordinary parchment.
times.
Reggie had seen adhesive tape at the bachelor's house. In the eyes of others, this kind of thing was of no use in the dry climate of Shaoxue City, but Reggie still refused to listen to dissuasion and stubbornly spent fifty gold coins to buy it back.
A lot of tape.
The entire piece of tape was very huge, five feet wide and thirty feet long. Reggie bought four trucks of tape. Nelson rubbed the paper vigorously and said in a showy tone: "Sir, look at it.
This is the authentic Yuhuacheng adhesive tape, which is stronger than your leather boots. If you don’t have a sharp knife, I’m willing to cut it to the size you want for free.”
"No need, I have the knife." Reggie looked at the canvas again, and Nelson quickly stepped forward and introduced: "This is Blue Bay's specialty canvas. You just need to hang it on your boat and I guarantee you won't use it within ten years."
Mend your sails.”
In order to vividly illustrate the quality of the canvas, Nelson stepped forward and grabbed a piece of canvas, put it to his mouth, and blew a breath.
The canvas swelled like a balloon.
"Did you see it, my lord?" Nielsen said with a proud smile, "It's completely airtight. Every product Nielsen offers is worth every penny!"
Old Hill was not in the mood to listen to his bragging. He picked up a piece of iron ore and frowned: "This is not the iron stone of Jinguang City!"
"Uh... But these are indeed high-quality iron stones," Nelson rubbed his hands and said, "These ores come from Bayer Country. You know, Bayer Country's ores are better than those from Golden Light City."
This is indeed high-quality iron ore, but it is high-quality hematite, which is iron oxide ore. These ores have higher iron content and fewer impurities, but they cannot provide the sulfur that Reggie wants.
The ore in Jinguang City is pyrite, which is pyrite. With pyrite, Reggie can use more advanced technology to directly extract sulfur while smelting iron, without having to spend money to buy slag.
"I told you before, our lord only wants the iron stone from Golden Light City!" Old Hill threw the iron stone back into the car, "Last time you brought the iron stone from Bayer Country, our lord did not blame you.
You, you want to deceive us again this time!"
"What does this have to do with it, my lord!" Nelson looked at Reggie nervously. He was worried that Reggie might return the goods. "This is the best iron stone. I spent a lot of money to buy it just for you. It's really
It’s much better than the iron stone from Bayer Country.”
"Stop lying, Nelson," Old Hill said with a smile, "You paid for these ores with grain. Winter is coming soon. Bayer Country has no food to survive the winter. One cart of wheat can be exchanged for at least three carts of ore!"
Nelson rubbed his hands and smiled awkwardly: "As long as the stuff is good, why bother about the source?"
Reggie shook his head and said: "You clearly know that I am at war with the Bayer Country, why do you still send the Bayer Country's ores? This is an insult to me!"
Nelson hurriedly said: "Sir, I definitely have no such idea..."
"That's enough! No more excuses!" Reggie sighed, "I forgive you this time, but next time you must send me the iron stone from Golden Light City, otherwise you won't be able to take away a single copper coin from me."
Nelson wiped his sweat, took a breath and said, "Thank you for your tolerance, my lord."
Old Hill carefully checked the quantity and quality of the goods. After confirming that they were correct, Reggie immediately paid Nelson the price. It was getting late, and Reggie didn't want to treat him to another dinner.
But Nelson had no intention of leaving. He leaned next to Reggie and whispered: "I still have an important product I want to sell to you. I wonder what price you can offer."
Reggie was startled and said, "You have to tell me what product it is first."
"The news from Bayer Country is related to Princess Sophia."
Looking at Nelson's lewd smile, Reggie felt his heart aches.
But he couldn't refuse Nielsen. In times of war, the value of intelligence is immeasurable.
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me, how much do you want?"
"If you are willing to pay twenty gold coins, I will tell you about the princess," Nelson's eyes flashed with gold. "If you are willing to pay thirty gold coins, I will tell you everything I know, including Ice Rock City.
