After visiting the steam engine on site, Roland and Margaret returned to the castle office to continue negotiating the details of the trade contract.
If such negotiation involves bargaining, it is common for both sides to fight for one or two days, so the Finance Minister is generally responsible for the work, and the lord only needs to explain the quantity and bottom line.
However, the other party has already finalized the price at once, and Roland has also saved a lot of effort.
I expect the next arrival will be a month later, when three sloops full of saltpeter will arrive with me.The businesswoman quickly wrote on parchment that, based on 90% of the market price, it is worth about 315 golden dragons.
By then, the town could almost produce two steam engines. Roland deliberately lowered the quantity, which was one thousand golden dragons. You could use the golden dragon to make up for the price difference, or you could use other commodities to replace it.
What kind of goods do you need?
Iron, copper, lead, and green alum, he said, are all common minerals.But what I need for the first three is not ore, but the melted metal ingot.In addition, I also need ten sets of crystal glassware. It doesn’t matter whether there is carving, whether it is a kettle or a wine glass, but it must be the best quality product produced by Wangdu Alchemy Workshop.If the price exceeds the difference, I can make up for it or deduct it from the cost of the two steam engines in the next month.
You are treating me as your special trader, Margaret chuckled, although I do not operate a mine, I know several colleagues who specialize in ore trade.But I never expected that a remote border area could contain such a great business opportunity.Few nobles lived here, but consumed a lot of saltpeter; they were a small town built for the North Slope Mine, but they had to buy minerals from outside.This is simply not in line with my common sense of business. Your Highness, your territory is incredible.
A major feature of industrial production is to swallow a large amount of raw materials and export finished products to the outside.Roland spread his hands, the town will have more in the future, I think we can achieve a long-term
At this moment, Margaret suddenly widened her eyes and looked behind Roland with a look of surprise. The latter was stunned and turned his head subconsciously. He saw lightning soaked in the body against the floor-to-ceiling window. He grabbed the glass with both hands, his face full of panic. Her face was pale, and her hair was stranded on her forehead, and the water droplets kept dripping down along the hair, as if it had just been fished out of the water.
Roland quickly got up and opened the window. After lightning flew into the room, he rushed into Roland's arms. His panic expression suddenly relaxed and his body fainted.
Nightingale, hurry up and call Nanava.He said anxiously.
yes.A response came from the empty side.
What's going on? She shouldn't encounter evil beasts or devils in the air. Does the other party have the ability to fly?
Roland roughly checked Lightning's body and found that there was no obvious injury, so he breathed a little relieved.
Your Highness, is she... the lightning you mentioned?Margaret covered her mouth and slowly approached the prince, looking at the little girl in his arms carefully.
Roland felt a little sad, how could he forget her?He shouted outside the door: Sean!
The personal guard walked into the office.
Sorry, Ms. Margaret, I can only ask you to stay here for a while. The prince stood up with lightning in his arms and took the royal merchant to the guest room on the first floor to take care of her. Without my order, she would not be allowed to be released.
Obey the order!
What?No, Your Highness... Please wait, she suddenly realized that I have no malice towards the witch, not to mention that she is Thunder's daughter, I will not go to the church
I just in case, Roland interrupted, I will come to you for verification later.
……
Your Highness, she woke up, and Nightingale opened the door and said.
Roland nodded and followed Nightingale into the bedroom.
The bucket beside the big bed was still steaming, and the soaked clothes were hanging randomly by the bucket.
A group of witches surrounded by the bed, Wendy sat at the head of the bed, gently combing the little girl's hair that was not completely dry.
The blood-colored lightning on her face before was now a little rosy. She leaned against the two stacks of pillows, the quilt was pulled high, only half of her head was exposed, and her eyes were staring at Roland.
How is the situation?
Uninjured, it was a coma caused by the exhaustion of magic. Nightingale replied, Wendy helped her clean her body and woke up shortly after she was carried into the quilt.
He walked to the bed and smiled at the lightning. What happened?It makes you fly back in the rain in panic.
I found the remains, she muttered in a low voice, but there was a devil inside.
This sentence changed everyone's face.
Have you entered?Book question.
No, Lightning shook his head and told the story. The devil was guarding the door of the basement, and there were still people calling for help inside.But I was so scared that I just ran away and didn't find a way to save her.She shrank her head into the quilt. Are I not qualified to be an explorer like this?
No, you did a good job, Roland comforted, an excellent explorer knows how to judge the situation and will not deliberately take risks. If you can't save her alone, running away is the most correct choice.
Is the witch in the stone tower?Wendy thought, no one except the witch can reach the depths of the hidden forest.
The witch wouldn't go there either. The Book of Song shook his head. It was a ruin from four hundred and fifty years ago.If there is no map indicating the direction, it is difficult to find the location of the stone tower in the vast sea of trees.unless……
Unless anything?Roland asked.
Unless someone lives there all the time.Shujuan said slowly.
What do you mean is that they have been there for descendants not from the kingdom, but from four hundred and fifty years ago, living a life of isolation from the world?The prince rejected this speculation in his heart, living in the primeval forest, what does this mean!
Elusive beasts, all kinds of terrible insects and poisons, and no stable source of food... Even Bertha would not be able to live in the forest for a long time.
What's more, there is a winter in this world that is full of snow for months, and evil beasts and devils are rampant, and settling in the hidden forest is simply a way out.
He looked at the lightning, are there signs of smoke in the ruins?
No.The little girl shook her head.
Perhaps there is more than one map, Soroya said, maybe there are people like us, looking for the whereabouts of Tachila.
No matter what, we couldn't help them, Ye Zi sighed. No one could quickly go to the stone tower except lightning.
I'm afraid we'll know the truth only after we go. Roland touched his chin. In short, it would be great to be able to come back safely.The courses tonight will be suspended for one day, so everyone can have a good rest.When the time comes, the puzzle will naturally be solved.
Leaving the Lightning's bedroom, he said to the Nightingale, "Next, we have another trouble to solve."
Just let her take down the Stone of Divine Punishment, she smiled and said, "Leave everything to me."
