The station of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce in Ice Rock City is located in the center of the east of the city.
This station occupies a large area, and the facade is quite luxurious.
"Your Tulip Chamber of Commerce has developed well here."
"Hehe. You're over the top." Oliver couldn't hide his expression. "This place is very close to the sky ice field. Most of the transactions between our chamber of commerce and trolls have to be transferred from Ice Rock City. Therefore, this place is actually second only to the headquarters of the chamber of commerce. Stop."
That's right, although the northern border and the trolls are about to beat their brains out, the trade between the two sides has never stopped.
War is war, trade is trade.
This is two different things.
After all, the interests involved are too great, even the nobles in the northern border are unwilling to stop the trade with trolls.
Of course, not just any businessman can be qualified to conduct this kind of foreign trade.
The Tulip Chamber of Commerce can get a share of it, obviously it has a background.
"Where is your chamber of commerce headquarters?"
"Falling Eagle City."
Oliver uttered the name of a city that Colin was very familiar with.
Isn't Falling Eagle City the city where Colin's sister married far away, and the lord there is Earl Uman.
It turned out that he was the background of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce.
Colin looked a little playful.
He has always suspected that the Earl Uman was instigating the assassination against him. Since the nobleman behind the Tulip Chamber of Commerce may also be the Earl Uman, then he follows Oliver into the opponent's sphere of influence so swaggeringly. To cast a trap
However, Colin was not too worried.
Earl Uman would not be so stupid as to assassinate a baron heir within his sphere of influence, then he would definitely be involved.
"Master Oliver, it's great that you're fine! I heard that you went to the Mirror Lake Camp, and I thought..."
As soon as he entered the door, a little girl with freckles shouted excitedly at Oliver.
Oliver nodded reservedly: "Of course I'm fine. Go and find Jack, an adult needs his help to make a banquet dress."
The freckled girl showed embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Mr. Oliver, Mr. Jack was recruited into the castle by the Su Duo family, saying that he wanted to design dresses for the adults attending the banquet."
Oliver froze for a moment, then turned to Colin and said, "Master Colin, I didn't expect the Su Duo family to make arrangements. I think you will be invited to the castle to measure the size soon..."
"Really?" Colin sneered for a while.
He wouldn't think that crazy woman would kindly ask someone to make a dress for him.
He even had a premonition that this was probably Cynthia's trick to retaliate against him.
Thinking of this, Colin asked the freckled girl, "Do you know how many tailors the Su Duo family hired to the castle?"
"I heard that all the well-known tailors in the city have been hired away. Many adults attending the banquet this time seemed to have no gowns because they were in a hurry to go out. That's why the Su Duo family is going to concentrate on making them."
really.
Now Colin was convinced that the crazy woman was probably trying to make a fool of him about the dress.
Seeing that Colin was silent, the freckled girl kindly suggested: "My lord, if you need to make a dress, Mr. Jack's apprentice is still in the shop, maybe he can help you..."
"Apprentice?" Before Colin could speak, Oliver yelled loudly, "Let that sloppy guy make a dress for a nobleman? Are you out of your mind?"
The freckled girl shrank her head, aggrieved and dared not speak.
Colin would also be concerned about handing over the making of the gown to an apprentice tailor.
Of course, he would not go to the castle of the Su Duo family to beg that crazy woman.
So, how do you find a suitable dress in such a short time
Ke Lin rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Do you have armor for sale in your store?"
"Of course!" Oliver hurriedly said loudly, "Please follow me."
Colin followed Oliver to a room, and at a glance, it was full of various armors.
"My lord, here are all the high-quality goods collected by our chamber of commerce, including plate armor, chain mail, and even enchanted armor..."
"And the enchanted armor?" Colin suddenly became interested.
The so-called enchantment is to draw a magic circle on the surface of the armor, and then ask the mage to enchant the magic circle so that the armor has various arcane properties.
This is no simple matter.
First of all, it requires an extremely high level of forging to portray the complicated magic circle on the armor, and secondly, the price of enchanting by the mage is also extremely expensive.
Therefore, a set of enchanted armor can often sell for sky-high prices.
Colin's own set of armor that fell in Graycastle was not enchanted, and the only set of enchanted armor of the Angelet family was of course worn by his father.
It's a pity that the set of enchanted armor died with his father, so it should have become the troll's trophy.
Therefore, Colin followed Oliver's guidance with great interest, and came to the only set of enchanted armor in the room.
This is a set of pure white armor, engraved with gorgeous and mysterious lines, exuding a faint icy aura.
"This set of armor is enchanted with a fourth-order magic circle [Frost Blessing]. When attacked, it can burst out a frost shock and cause damage to the attacker." Oliver explained on the side.
Tier 4 array!
Ke Lin remembered that the set of enchanted armor inherited from the Angelet family only depicted a second-order magic circle.
"How much is this set of enchanted armor?" Ke Lin was moved.
Oliver turned around and muttered to an old blacksmith for a while, and then quoted a sky-high price: "50,000 gold coins."
"How much?" Colin looked disbelieving.
You know, the annual tax for the entire Angelet family fiefdom is only three thousand gold coins.
In other words, even if the Angelet family didn't eat or drink for ten years, they still couldn't afford this set of armor.
No wonder the Angelet family's second-tier enchanted armor was regarded as a family heirloom.
Colin looked at this set of enchanted armor wistfully, then turned around decisively.
It's not something he can afford.
And even if it is bought by Zaguomaitie, I am afraid it cannot be maintained.
"What about this set?" Colin asked for another set of unenchanted armor.
"This set of two thousand gold coins."
Colin took a breath, feeling a little pained.
However, he also knows that this kind of exquisitely crafted armor is generally not cheap.
"Can I pay the deposit first? I will notify Graycastle of the final payment and have it delivered."
Upon hearing this, Oliver gritted his teeth after thinking for a moment: "Master Colin, if you like this set of armor, I can give it to you for free!"
"Free?" Colin smiled playfully.
He doesn't believe that there are free things in this world.
Everything has a price, but some costs are not in the form of money.
"That's right." Oliver said in a deep voice, "I accidentally damaged your relationship with the Su Duo family and injured you, so this set of armor is my apology to you."
Sure enough, after returning to the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, the fat man began to think of ways to get out of Colin's control.
This set of "free" armor is actually Oliver's ransom fee.
"Okay! I accept your apology."
Seeing that Oliver's apology was quite sincere, Colin decided not to pursue the previous matter.
Afterwards, he found a pen and paper, and drew a bear's head roaring towards the sky, with a kite shield emblem with some thorn patterns on the back.
"Help me engrave the badge of the Angelet family on it and deliver it to my residence within three days."
"OK."
After explaining, Colin was about to get up and leave.
"Master Colin, about the banquet dress..." Oliver kindly reminded.
"I already have a solution for the dress, you don't have to worry about it."
Colin turned his head and showed an inscrutable smile.
