Chapter 563: 552. Constantine
Chapter 563 552. Constantine
A group of friends from the city of Hailansa gathered in the tavern. Three men, Suldak, Karl, and Bird Tax Officer sat and chatted together. The ladies gathered around Mrs. Mariana. Miss Hoyle seemed to have walked out During that period of gloom, the whole person became much calmer, and even her smile had the aura of a superior person. It is said that she has already obtained the candidate member of the Hailansa City Councilor. It's the new MP.
Since the death of Baron Llewellyn, Suldak hasn't seen Miss Brenda for a while. She has lost a lot of weight recently, and her tall figure looks more like a clothes hanger. She doesn't smile as much as before. A kind of beauty precipitated by the years.
When she looked at Suldak, her eyes were calm, and there was no other emotion in her eyes except a little appreciation.
Ladies drink a little golden cider, and there's plenty to talk about.
Tax Collector Byrd has become more regular in his life recently, and Miss Hoyle has controlled his drinking and required him to exercise properly every day. Although he himself does not feel any changes, others can feel the changes in him. Much more energetic than half a year ago.
Carl and Bird tax officer talked about the embarrassment of Suldak’s peddling of sulfur ore. Bird tax officer curiously asked Suldak:
"Dark, which trading firm did you go to?"
"Tricolor Iris."
Suldak replied without thinking.
Bird tax collector and Miss Hoyle looked at each other with strange expressions.
Mrs. Mariana also looked at Suldak in surprise, but didn't say anything.
Bird Tax Officer smiled and said to Suldak: "Here, of course that firm will lower your price. Even if they don't do your business, they won't let you sell sulfur ore to their firm. The reason is simple...it is the property of the Bulwer family."
"You mean because of Armand Bulwer's relationship?" Suldak asked Bird tax officer.
"Of course, that guy Armand is not a broad-minded person." Bird tax officer said.
Suldak didn't expect that he would have to deal with the Bulwer family everywhere in Hailansa City. nothing happened...
Seeing Suldak's gloomy look, Bird tax officer immediately suggested:
"Dark, since sulfur mines can't be sold at high prices in Hailansa City, you should actually go to other cities to find sales. I know that Constantinople has always had workshops preparing fire scale bombs. The workshop should have a certain relationship with the Benar Legion."
In this regard, he is more knowledgeable than Carl.
"Okay, then I'll go to Constantinople." Suldak said.
Since the Byrd tax collector said so, it is worth his trip.
Carl interjected at this time: "I remember that Mariana lived in Constantinople when she was a best friend. Mariana, what is the name of your friend in Constantinople?"
Mrs. Marianne didn't want to get involved in this matter, so she sat by the side and didn't intervene. There is no other reason. Her identity is more sensitive. Here, she is a friend with Suldak, and on the other side is her niece, Darcy Christie. Husband, speaking of it, Mrs. Mariana has no reason to help Suldak.
But since Karl proposed it on his own initiative, it means that he has expressed his position, and he is completely on Suldak's side.
If Mrs. Mariana doesn't answer this topic, she sighs softly, the young man beside her is good at everything, but he values friendship too much.
Mrs. Mariana pursed her lips and said to Karl:
"Are you talking about Mrs. Annabella?"
Carl suddenly remembered the name that Mariana often talked about, nodded immediately and said:
"That's right, it's Mrs. Annabelle. Suldak wants to sell the sulfur mines in his hand. He heard that Constantinople needs a lot of sulfur mines. He wants to establish a certain relationship with the workshops there. , the friend you know happens to be a dignitary in Constantinople, can you write her a letter and ask her for help."
In general, Mrs. Marianna didn't want to write, but she had to. She smiled a bit reluctantly, looked at Karl and said, "Of course it's no problem, I'll write her a letter tonight, Knight Suldak, you You can go directly to Constantinople and visit her with my letter."
"OK!"
Suldak said.
It wasn't until the tavern party ended that Mrs. Mariana and Karl boarded the magic caravan and returned to Mrs. Mariana's apartment near the Magic Tower. Then Mrs. Mariana complained to Karl, blaming him for bringing this matter over. If it spreads to Armand Bulwer's ears in the future, it will embarrass Darcy.
Karl didn't expect the situation inside to be so complicated, so he quickly told Mrs. Mariana that it would not be an example.
…
Suldak came to Constantinople with a letter written by Mrs. Mariana.
Judging from the map, Constantinople and Hailansa City belong to the two cities of Osorno County, Bena Province, but Hailanza City belongs to the westernmost mountain city in the Tarapakan area, and Constantine The Fort is located in the center of Osorno County, where the transportation is very convenient, and it is connected to several surrounding cities by spacious avenues.
In contrast, the transportation industry in a remote mountain city like Hailansa City is not well developed. As long as there are many mountains here, most of the road sections are difficult mountain roads.
Suldak usually doesn't have the opportunity to go outside the city of Hailansa. It took five days to ride to Constantinople this time. Suldak rode a horse and stood at the In front of the city gate, looking back at the section of road I had traveled, I am afraid that this section of the road is the biggest problem when I think of transporting sulfur ore to Constantinople.
Constantinople was built on a large 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 the city of Constantinople is to introduce a clear water river into the city.
The clear river flows out of the forest, passes through Constantinople, forms a small waterfall at the red rock cliff, and falls into a crescent-shaped lake under the red rock.
Constantinople is larger than Hailansa City, and its resident population is tens of thousands more than Hailansa City. This city is surrounded by vast forests, like a bright pearl in a sea of green.
The city wall of this city is also a slightly double-standard building, one side is close to the cliff, so it is an arc-shaped city wall, and it looks very thin, it looks like a simple wall. As for the part of the city wall bordering the forest on the other side of the city, it was made up of straight lines, and there was a seam every 200 yards, and tall archery towers were built on each seam.
Suldak wore a noble badge on his chest, and the guards at the door immediately let him go.
When he came to Constantinople, Suldak found that although the buildings in this city were not as compact as Helansa, they were more orderly. Every street here was straight, and many public areas in the city would be There is a wooden map of Constantinople, and the main divisions of the city are clearly marked on the map.
Suldak came directly to the workshop area of the city. The streets here are full of various workshops. It seems that the industry in Constantinople is more developed than that in Hailansa City.
I went around the workshop area twice, but unfortunately I couldn't find the workshop that specially made fire scale bombs for the Bena Legion. So Suldak could only take out the letter written by Mrs. Marianna and came to Constantinople. The most gorgeous aristocratic district, according to the address written in 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 Marianne and handed it to the guard at the gate.
The guard saw that the name written on the letter was "Accepted by Mrs. Annabelle Luthor Owen", so he naturally didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly sent the letter into the castle.
Suldak did not wait at the door, left the address of his temporary hotel, and left from the door.
Suldak looked at the name on the envelope and found it familiar. It wasn't until the next day when he saw Mrs. Annabella in the living room of the Owen family that he felt that the circle of nobles in Benar City was really small. The Anna in front of him Mrs. Bella is clearly Hathaway's aunt. When she took the magic airship from Hailansa City to Bena City, she played cards with her.
Ms. Annabelle didn't expect that the person who came to visit was Baron Suldak, and it was recommended by Marianne Christie.
Mrs. Annabella, who was seated at the main seat, waved her hand and asked the maid to bring tea and fruit before stepping back quickly.
"Baron Suldak, Marianna has already said in the letter that you are here to establish a supply and marketing relationship with the firearms workshop. Although the firearms workshop is controlled by the Owen family, I am not completely in control of the specific matters. Someone can take you to meet the person in charge of the workshop, but whether or not the negotiation can be successful depends on how well you have negotiated!" Mrs. Annabella sat on a high table and chair, leaning over to face Sulda in the audience. K said.
"Thank you, Mrs. Annabella!" Suldak stood in the middle of the carpet under the stage, and said to Mrs. Annabella.
Ms. Annabelle smiled slightly, waved to a trusted aide beside her, and then said to the trusted maid: "Take Baron Suldak to see Iman..."
The maid nodded repeatedly, then walked up to Suldak and said respectfully, "Master Baron, please follow me!"
Mrs. Annabelle stood by the window on the third floor of the castle, watching her trusted maid lead Suldak through the manor vestibule. She never expected to see Suldak again in Constantinople. Servi heard from her mouth that the territory of the Baron Suldak was a volcano with a lava pool on top that continued to burn, so she felt that his choice was a bit unique.
At this time, seeing him rushing to Constantinople to sell sulfur mines, I thought he was really very thoughtful...
