The prosperity of the sixth district of the imperial capital is built on the basis of a slum of nearly 3 million people, and it is a dense workshop-type industrial area. Most of the streets are lined with metallurgy, leather making, wood processing, stone processing, cotton and linen weaving, papermaking, slaughterhouses, large mills, glasswork, jewelry processing, and other ordinary primary workshops.

This is a blacksmith shop that looks very large, just look at the entrance of the blacksmith shop made of H-shaped steel full of industrial arches, rusty walls inlaid with various styles of rivets, forming the words "North Duisburg", it looks quite imposing, standing at the gate of the blacksmith shop, you feel the whole factory is shrouded in a boiling heat.

The riders of the magic caravan saw Lady Arya's slender waist and round and plump buttocks gently swaying under the long skirt, and their eyes looked straight over, like countless fine iron slags attracted by a magnet, and they wanted to stick to Lady Arya's body at once.

With a faint smile on her delicate face, without the slightest embarrassment, Madame Arya looked faintly at the vulgar coachmen around her, her eyes were slightly crossed, and her face was full of aristocratic pride and leisure, so that the coachmen around her almost forgot where they were for a while, and leaned over as best they could lean over, and even two coachmen stepped into the air from the high seat, fell to the ground and let out a miserable scream.

Caterina hesitated in the carriage for a moment, put a black cloak over her body before she stepped out of the carriage, looking at the coachmen around her with wariness and disgust, frowning at the rude carriage owners, she clenched the hilt of the sword-breaker tightly, and lowered her eyelids so that no one could see the murderous intent hidden in her eyes.

Perhaps because she had been on the battlefield for too long, the seal in Katerina's body could not completely imprison her murderous heart.

Perhaps it is because there are too many nobles in the imperial capital that these small wealth carriage owners are so unscrupulous.

I turned around and stopped, and when Caterina came up, I took her hand and calmed her down, this is not the Hiero plane, and if you kill a few poor people on the street, as long as the Duke of Samoyed doesn't care, you won't break the law. The laws in the imperial capital are still very strict.

Lady Arya took two steps closer to me, and stretched out her warm arm to take my arm, and the scent of jasmine was very good, and it was evident from the expression on Lady Arya's face that she was no stranger to this place.

At this moment, out of the blacksmith came a manager in gray-white silk breeches and a white shirt, he wore a dark gray bow tie on the neckline, his hair was meticulously combed, and he held a cane in his hand, and walked out quickly. The staff sparkled a spark on the wall of a magical caravan and made a high-pitched sound of metal friction, which woke up the coachmen who had sunk into Lady Arya's seductive appearance.

With a smile on his face, the manager stood in front of me and bowed humbly before he said, "Dear Magician, I am Chris Andy Goss, the manager of the blacksmith workshop in North Duisburg, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Mr. Goss, can you process light rails for mines?" I asked casually.

"Of course, our blacksmith workshop is the only workshop in the imperial capital that can roll steel rails, and if you are interested, Master Magician, I can take you to the workshop. Goss, the manager, spoke politely, his eyes lingering on Lady Arya and Katarina's faces for no more than three seconds.

After making eye contact with Lady Arya, we agreed to Manager Goss's invitation and followed him into the blacksmith's workshop.

I couldn't see through the layout of the whole workshop at a glance at the door, and when I entered the workshop, I found that it was much bigger than I expected, and it was very hot in the workshop, and the blacksmiths were only wearing leather pants with straps that showed their backs and arms, and they were sweating one by one using a long iron drill to hook out the iron in the furnace, and dragged it into the forging die for preliminary rolling, watching the red-hot section steel pulled down from the forging table and pulled into the sink, and the steaming white water vapor made the inside of the shed like a steamer.

The layout of the blacksmith's workshop is very reasonable, the iron warehouse is next to three huge furnaces, where the iron is slag removed, and then the molten iron is poured into the prepared sand mold, and then the cast blank is smelted again, and the red-hot blank is further forged dozens of times, and finally extruded in roller-like rolls.

Mrs. Arya covered her mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief, and a large area of white and greasy skin on her chest was exposed, and she was sweating from the heat wave, and her face became as delicate as a flower, as if she had drunk and blushed, and the workshop was full of water vapor sprayed out, and the hot and bright red melted iron, walking in the aisle of the workshop, Lady Arya seemed to be a little worried about being burned by the steaming heat, and did not care that her soft chest was tightly pressed against my arm and attached to me.

At this time, Katarina's physical fitness advantage was very reflected, although in addition to the wurm skin light armor, she was also covered with a black cloak, but the heat in the workshop did not seem to cause much trouble to Katarina.

When we passed the huge forging press for rolling iron blanks, the manager Goss was still enthusiastically explaining to us that this charging forging machine is the largest forging machine in the imperial capital, and the core part of this machinery is the product of the Hex civilization of the goblin era excavated from the ancient ruins, although the movement has been seriously aged, but it can still be used normally.

He looked at the expression on my face and obviously had a trace of curiosity about this forging machine, so he simply stopped in front of this forging machine, and seriously told that this forging press was found fifteen years ago, the owner of this workshop found it from a ruin of Angela's face, and spent hundreds of slaves in the ruins to disassemble it into mechanical parts, and transported them to the imperial capital one by one.

Goss told me that after the molten iron is cast in the sand mold, it has to be returned to the furnace to change the internal properties of the metal, and after repeated beating on a forging press, it is then sent into a roll and extruded into a rail that meets the specifications.

At this time, it happened that a steel rail was squeezed out of the rolling roll, and the laborer who was supposed to be guarding the exit used a large iron hook to introduce the rail into the cold water tank for cooling and quenching, but the laborer's eyes were a little flustered, maybe he was a little distracted in the first few seconds, the rail did not fall into the sink to cool as expected, but the end hit the side wall of the tank, and the huge impact force made the tail end of the rail more than six meters long bounce up.

The red-hot steel rail was like a huge iron spear, sweeping towards us, the manager Goss turned pale with fright on the spot, and for a while he couldn't even say a complete sentence, the first to react was Caterina beside her, she leaned forward slightly, feeling her suddenly disappear beside me, and then her body appeared under the swept rail, her flexible body stretched back, and the sword crusher in both hands slashed fiercely at the huge steel rail like the black iron spear in the hands of the spider-man overseer.

Even if it was just the broken blade of a rune magic sword, but the blade was still extremely sharp, in the crisp sound of gold and iron, a section of the red-hot steel rail was cut by Caterina from it, with the splash of sparks, the small section of the steel rail cut by Caterina still flew towards us according to inertia, my first reaction was to protect Lady Arya behind me, and in the state of 'time stagnation', I used the fastest speed to condense two 'ice shields' in front of my body.

After the small section of the rail smashed an ice shield, the momentum slowed slightly, and then it hit the second ice shield, and the rail directly pierced the ice shield, but the castration was exhausted, and under the white steam rising, the rail got stuck on the ice shield and hovered in the air a meter away from us.

The manager, Goss, pale, as if he had collapsed, sat down on the ground, panting and easing his excitement, pointing his hand at the dejected laborer, unable to utter a word.

The foreman, who was standing in the distance, saw that something was happening here, and hurriedly ran over, and saw that most of the rails that jumped out of the trough, and the other half of the rails were wrapped in a layer of ice at this time, and fell in front of my feet.

At this time, the next red-colored rail in the roll poked its head out again, and the foreman skillfully picked up the large iron hook and introduced the rail into the trough, while not forgetting to remove the laborer who had fallen on the edge of the sink.

The manager, Goss, was now relieved, and stood beside me apologizing, and Lady Arya stood behind me, holding my left arm tightly in her arms, and I could clearly feel her pounding heartbeat, and her slippery skin was already a little sweaty.

After this incident, we did not make any more stops in the workshop, but were taken by the manager Goss to a gray-white attic next to the finished warehouse of the blacksmith's workshop, and it seemed that the owner of the workshop had learned of this, and led several attendants down the attic, the owner of the workshop wore a noble badge on his chest, and his chubby body ran down the spiral staircase.

Seeing that I was wearing a magic robe, he hurriedly greeted him, Goss gave us a brief introduction, the owner of the workshop is called Robert, a hereditary earl, the owner of the workshop, Robert wiped the sweat on his forehead, apologized to us repeatedly, his eyes fell on the face of Lady Arya beside me, he was also slightly stunned, and then looked away, glanced at Caterina cautiously, and asked Goss with a calm face: "What is the matter?" Tell Hans to let that person roll up and roll up immediately, the workshop doesn't want this kind of insecurity. ”

Goss agreed, and quickly turned to leave.

Robert, the owner of the workshop, and a few attendants invited me to the attic, and sat down in the living room, and I explained my intention to Robert, the owner of the workshop, directly about customizing a batch of light steel rails for mining, and reached out from his bosom to take out the note that Louis had given me, and handed it to Robert, the owner of the workshop.

When he saw the handwriting on the parchment note in his hand, the nervousness on his face was slightly soothed, he took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the oil secreted from his face, and said to me with a smile: "It turns out that the wizard Jijia is a friend of the Marquis de Louis, and the Marquis Louis Emerald Bay Trading House has customized various steel products in my workshop every year, and I dare not promise otherwise, but the quality of the light steel rails must be the best among these blacksmith workshops in the imperial capital, and the price can also be consistent with the transaction price of the Emerald Bay Trading Company." ”

I didn't expect the workshop owner to give me such a promise as soon as I sat down, in fact, I didn't have any more requirements, and I was about to say yes and continue to talk about the size of the drawings and the delivery time.

At this time, several maids happened to come down from upstairs with fruit plates and refreshments, and put cool ice drinks on the coffee table.

Lady Arya had calmed down, but she sat next to me and said, "Count Robert, I take the liberty of asking, what kind of ironware did the Emerald Bay Trading Company customize in your workshop?"

Hearing Mrs. Arya's question, the workshop owner squeezed out a wry smile on his face, reached out and drank the ice water in the cup, and then waved the waiting maids away before saying, "The first time I saw Mrs. Arya, I knew that this business was not a good deal. Every year, the Emerald Harbour Trading House purchases at least 1,000 steel wheels from the caravan manufacturing workshops in the province of Palestina. ”

"And then, a letter of introduction from the Marquis de Louis Mensa to push Count Giga to you and make you stabbed?" said Lady Arya, with a faint mockery on her face, "how can a forged steel wheel be sold at the same price as a light rail for mining?"

Robert showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, so he had to explain repeatedly: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Blame me for not explaining clearly, where I might sell the profiles at the price of steel wheels, I mean that this batch of light rail profiles will be traded according to the internal negotiated price between the workshop and the Emerald Bay Comprising House on the profiles." ”

As he spoke, Jean waved his hand to the attendant to bring over the magic contract signed with the Emerald Bay Trading Company.

When I saw the line of prices on the contract, it dawned on me that the price of these steels has also dropped greatly because of the different processes, and it is obvious that the mining light rail is the cheapest in the list.

Lady Arya picked up the magic contract book, the white skin on her arm showed a sharp contrast with the black magic contract book, a trace of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she asked Robert, "This is the price of custom 100 roots?"

Robert, the owner of the workshop, just wanted to nod his head and hear Lady Arya's question clearly, but his movements suddenly stopped abruptly, and he said with a little embarrassment: " The order quantity of a few hundred sticks, naturally it is impossible to be so cheap, Mrs. Alia, you also know, if you customize the size of the special, I also need to make a set of rolls for your light rail separately, these need to be counted in the cost, a batch of goods on the side of the Emerald Bay is at least more than a thousand, in order to go according to the internal agreement price, if the order quantity of 100 pieces, then the price must be at least ten percent upward. ”

Seeing our suspicious gaze, Robert said ruthlessly: "Actually, my workshop hopes for small profits but quick turnover, and profits are purely dependent on production, if Lady Arya can customize more than 1,000 pieces in batches, I can sign the magic contract with you now." ”

After thinking about it, he added: "If the quantity is large, the price can be reduced by ten percent." ”

Lady Arya's eyes wandered, and she asked seemingly casually, "Marquis Robert, how much is your so-called large quantity?"

Robert, the owner of the workshop, smiled and said with some embarrassment, "Well, at least 10,000 roots...... Oh, more than 5,000 will do, who made you friends with the Marquis of Louis, my side will naturally give you the greatest discount. ”

A deep smile appeared in Lady Arya's beautiful apricot eyes, and she glanced at me triumphantly, and said, "Very well! ”

I sat next to Lady Arya and watched in amazement as she almost cut off the price offered by Robert, the owner of the workshop......
