Chapter 1578: 1564. Transaction
Chapter 1578 1564. Transaction
In Epsom City, the life of some nobles is still so relaxed and freehand. It can be seen that some manors will hold dances at night.
There is still cheerful music coming from the manor, and gorgeous magic caravans drive in from the gate of the manor, and the scene will not end until midnight.
Many people gathered here to find an opportunity to leave the war-torn Warsaw plane, and many people came here to make money in the plane war...
In short, the portal of Epsom City is the busiest place in the city, and there are countless people queuing in and out.
Suldak came to Epsom City alone, just to avoid unnecessary troubles when passing through the portal.
When he came to the portal in the central square, even if he had a portal pass and was a battlefield commander in a war zone on the Warsaw plane, he still had to wait in line to pass through the portal, but he didn't wait long. .
The Maple Leaf Hotel in Epsom City is a room booked for him by the liaison office of Bena’s military department. Suldak has also communicated with the military department before, so he didn’t go to the airport terminal to pick him up. After staying at the Maple Leaf Hotel, he first took a shower in the hotel, and then took a short rest. He didn't even have dinner, and walked out of the hotel with a teleportation voucher.
Cross the avenue in front of the hotel and come to the central square full of various supplies. Walking through the aisles full of supplies is like walking through the containers on the pier in memory.
Fortunately, the central square is not too big, and the teleportation gate with a height of six floors is erected in the center of the square. Suldak only needs to walk towards the teleportation gate, and he will not be caught in the pile of supplies. get lost.
A few portal guards along the way will check Suldak's transmission voucher, and after reading his voucher, let him pass without saying anything.
When he came to the front of the portal, he just saw a group of cavalry slowly coming out of the portal. This group of cavalry was four horses parallel. In order not to interfere with each other, each of the four cavalry had a distance between each horse. It's half a meter apart.
They also want to avoid collisions as much as possible when passing through space cracks.
These cavalry are walking forward slowly, and the rows are very neat. Their equipment is very good. In addition to being equipped with knight spears, these cavalry also have middle shields and flails, and are not equipped with knight long swords. Strapped with a dagger.
The armor on their bodies is not made of magic patterns, but the horses under their crotch are covered with cyan scales all over their bodies. The bodies of the horses are all covered with black iron armor, especially the black iron mask on the horse's head is almost a whole , looks very strong, and there are layers of armor plates on the neck, and the armor even covers half of the horse's legs.
It was the first time for Suldak to see such an elite heavy cavalry regiment. These cavalry were riding precious scale horses.
It's a little embarrassing to think about it. Only one-fifth of the constructed knights in his Constructed Knights now have blue-scaled horses, and the rest of the constructed knights can only ride the magic-weave warhorse for the time being.
Since the troops were transported from Everson City to Epsom City, Suldak knew that he might have to wait for all these heavy cavalry regiments to pass through before he could pass through the portal.
Suldak walked towards a guard captain at the teleportation gate, handed him the teleportation certificate in his hand, and asked him casually, "Where did this heavy cavalry regiment come from?"
"Your Excellency, this is the second batch of troops of the Western Knights Alliance. We don't know which province's cavalry it is." The captain of the portal guard saw the seal on the certificate, and immediately gave a standard military salute to Suldak, and replied road.
Suldak is actually guessing that these troops should be the troops of the Western Knights Alliance, as the coachman mentioned before.
Nodding, Suldak asked the captain of the portal guard again: "How long will it take for them to pass through?"
"It may take another day and night, Your Excellency, you may have to wait here for a day, and come back when the portal is changed from Epsom City to Evelson City, then you can Through the portal..."
The captain of the portal guard explained to Suldak after seeing the transfer voucher in Suldak's hand.
Suldak nodded in understanding: "Okay, then I'll come back at this time tomorrow!"
In fact, even if he can pass right now, he is still thinking that if he can, he will stay in Epsom City for a day.
When he was in the Moyunling Highlands, he actually had a letter of recommendation from the Duke of Newman, and he had a correspondence with the Marquis Yves Kim in the Western Cavalry Union. It just so happened that the Marquis Yves Kim As the liaison officer of the Western Cavaliers League in Epsom City, Suldak passed by Epsom City this time, and also wanted to visit the Marquis Yves Kim.
If his Constructed Knights want to replace with better quality black scaled horses as soon as possible, they must establish a relationship with the lord of the Western Knights Union.
It is said that about three-quarters of the army horses in the entire Green Empire come from the pastures in the western provinces.
So far, the black scaled horse is still the most suitable military horse for constructing knights.
Of course, these black-scaled horses are incomparable with those royal griffins, but in the Grimm Empire, the eagle nests where the royal griffins live are actually very limited, and the annual production is also extremely rare. So far, almost all of the royal griffins are Control is in the hands of the Angibald royals.
The black-scaled horse has always been the main mount of the Constructed Knights.
Return to the hotel from the portal, it is already noon.
Suldak had a simple lunch in the hotel, then took a nap in the room, and did not go out until the afternoon.
The officer from Bena's military department was still waiting in the lobby of the hotel. When he saw Suldak coming down the stairs, he ran over from the rest area, saluted Suldak, and asked, "Suldak Is Commander Dak going out?"
Suldak nodded.
"If necessary, the military headquarters has a magic caravan that can take you anywhere in the city." The young officer said cautiously.
Seeing the awe on his face, Suldak thought for a while before saying, "Then I would trouble you to take me to No. 5 Swarovski Avenue."
"Okay, Commander, wait a moment, the magic caravan is parked in the backyard of the hotel!"
The young officer ran out after finishing speaking, and did not keep Suldak waiting long. A magic caravan parked at the entrance of the hotel. The officer jumped out of the car and ran to the hotel door to open the door for Suldak.
However, he didn't follow, but let the coachman drive Suldak away from the Maple Leaf Hotel.
This coachman has a dull personality. As long as Suldak doesn't take the initiative to speak, he has been concentrating on driving the car along the way. Even when he arrives at the No. 5 mansion on Swarovski Avenue, he will stop the magic caravan steadily and get out of the car Helping Suldak open the car door, he stood quietly aside.
Suldak got out of the carriage and said to the coachman, "Maybe you have to wait for me for a while."
The coachman bowed to Suldak and saluted, and then said: "My lord, I will park the carriage across the street and wait for you. If you come out, just wait for me here."
After finishing speaking, he returned to the driver's seat, turned a corner in the magic caravan, and stopped under a row of street trees across the street.
This mansion is a four-story building, built on the side of Swarovski Avenue, without a so-called courtyard.
There may be a backyard, but Suldak didn't see the gate.
The main entrance of the mansion is facing the street. There are more than ten steps. On both sides of the steps are two marble statues standing on horseback. Two guards in knight light armor stand at the door. Going up the steps, a knight guard came to Suldak and asked:
"My lord, is there anything I can do for you?"
Suldak took out a visiting sticker and said to the guard, "I'm here to visit Marquis Yves Kim."
The guard took the visiting letter and invited Suldak to the reception room at the entrance of the mansion, and then handed the visiting letter to the receptionist inside. The receptionist was very efficient and heard the call from the reception room after a while A series of chaotic footsteps sounded outside.
A nobleman with blond hair, slightly aquiline nose and deep eye sockets came in from the outside, followed by a group of followers.
He was wearing a set of light leather armor made of fine fabrics. The leather armor was covered with a layer of hollow carved patterns. He stepped on a pair of pointed high leather boots. The pointed toes of the boots were exaggerated upwards. Benner is arguably rare.
However, Suldak saw that the group of attendants in the back were also wearing this kind of boots, but the costumes were not as exaggerated as this knight.
"I am Yves Kim, and you are Earl Suldak, commander of the West Route Army in Handanar County, Bena Province?" The noble lord walked up to Suldak and asked first.
Suldak quickly saluted, after all, there was a large rank difference between them.
"Yes, Mr. Marquis Yves Kim, I am Suldak from Bena Province."
"The whole city of Epsom is rumored that you were assassinated on the way. You seem to be in good spirits, and you don't seem to have any injuries..." Marquis Yves Kim said bluntly.
"I did encounter a small situation on the road, and the injury has healed!" Suldak said.
Marquis Yves Kim led Suldak into the lobby on the first floor of the mansion. In the gorgeous lobby on the first floor, officers from the Western Knights Alliance could be seen everywhere. They seemed to be busy with various things, but no one was there. Pay attention to the Marquis Yves Kim and his party.
"Aha, I changed the first floor here into the office of the Cavaliers Union's liaison office in Epsom City. My usual meeting place is on the second floor, and my residence is on the third and fourth floors."
Marquis Yves Kim spoke very casually, and then brought Suldak to a living room on the second floor.
Marquis Yves Kim sat on the armchair behind the desk, and with a smile asked Suldak to sit down on the chair opposite him.
His face is a bit like a falcon, and even his kind smile is a bit cold, making it impossible for Suldak to be kind.
The maids brought exquisite refreshments, and Suldak sat across from Marquis Yves Kim, and found that there was actually a map of the seven counties of the Warsaw plane spread on the desk in this office. Painted in different colors, it looks very eye-catching.
"The Grand Duke Newman and my father have had a friendship for many years, and our family has also cooperated with the Newman family for nearly a hundred years. All the scale horses of the Benar Legion are purchased from our family. Since the Grand Duke Newman recommended you to me, Then I think you probably need to buy some war horses from our ranch, am I right?"
Marquis Yves Kim spoke very directly.
Before Suldak nodded, Marquis Yves Kim said again:
"I heard that the West Route Army of Bena Province has received 100,000 ancient Bolai war horses as reinforcements from Handanar City in the Moyunling Highlands, so I am afraid that you will not have any purchase plans for the ancient Bolai war horses in the short term. , so this time you came here, do you want to buy a blue-scaled horse... or a black-scaled horse?"
"Is there any difference between the two? Of course, the difference I'm talking about is not the price!" Surdak asked.
"Of course, if you need blue-scaled horses, less than 5,000 horses, I can directly agree to it now. But if you need black-scaled horses, even if 500 horses, I can't give you any answer immediately , so do you need a blue-scaled horse or a black-scaled horse?" Marquis Yves Kim asked.
Suldak wiped his nose and said without hesitation:
"Black scaled horse!"
There is not much difference between the blue-scaled horse and the magic-weave warhorse. Of course, Suldak wanted something better.
"Breeding and raising a black-scaled horse is not easy. This kind of war horse is a controlled material in the Grimm Empire. Now wars are being fought everywhere. There has always been a big gap in the army horses of the empire. Of course you can if you want, but you What can you exchange with us, this kind of transaction cannot be settled by gold coins." Marquis Yves Kim said casually.
"I still have some unidentified black magic crystals." Suldak said.
"Of course, this kind of currency is needed to trade the scaled horse, but these black magic crystals cannot be used as a reason to persuade the family management to sell the black scaled horse to you!" Marquis Yves Kim habitually raised his head when he spoke. , the nostrils were exposed, and his demeanor and demeanor inadvertently revealed a kind of arrogance.
Suldak thought that he had entrusted the relationship of Grand Duke Newman, and he was using unidentified black magic crystals to make a deal. The purchase of the black scaled horse this time should be successful after talking casually.
I didn't expect these western ranchers to have such a big appetite, and using unidentified magic spar to trade is the minimum requirement.
Marquis Yves Kim actually wanted to establish a military strategic alliance with Suldak, but he was used to talking around corners and posing. It was the first time for Suldak to deal with these nobles. Can't figure out the situation.
He thought about what valuable things he had. Naturally, it was impossible to give them the epic weapons and equipment on his body. The only thing he could get was the life magic pattern.
For a long time, Suldak has claimed that these magic lines are all strengthened scrolls produced by alchemy, and he does not want to take this life magic line outside. Once a magician who is proficient in alchemy targets him, this secret Maybe it will break itself.
