Chapter 264: Lacey. Banhard's shock
The wheels are rolling when Lacey. By the time Banhard had followed the crowd to the meadow, Torres had already set up a grand welcome.
Two thousand ironclad bears lined up in front of Blackstone City, motionless, like a stone sculpture standing here since ancient times, not only Torres's Thunder Legion opened the formation, but the walls of Blackstone City were already full of Fox crossbowmen, firmly enveloping the entire trading field within the range of fire, as long as there was a mistake, ten thousand arrows would be fired immediately.
Lacey. One of the maids beside Banhard reminded in a whisper: "Marshal......"
"Keep walking!"
Lacey. Banhard's voice was not loud, but it could not be questioned, and no matter how much the drums were beating in the hearts of these "businessmen", they could only go on with their heads.
Knowing that the two sides were a hundred paces apart, the leader of the lead was in Lacey. Banhard stopped at the suggestion and said loudly according to the words agreed in advance: "Orc warriors of Blackstone City, we are a caravan from the Scarlet Town, we come with peace and goodwill, may the sword be far away from our friendship!" ”
There was silence all around, and after a few moments, I saw the gate of Blackstone City slowly open, and a human man in a strange costume slowly walked out in front of everyone. Banhard recognized at a glance that this person was none other than the one who had narrowly escaped from his own hands. Banhard deliberately made a little cover up on his face, and now she is like an ordinary maid, and she doesn't worry that Xing Xiaotian can recognize her.
Xing Xiaotian's stride was not large, but it was very steady, and it didn't take long for him to come to the side of the caravan commander with open arms and smile: "Friends come with good wine, enemies come with swords and guns, we welcome a good friend in Blackstone City!" ”
"Hahaha, I've heard for a long time that Blackstone City is led by a human merchant, and now that it's true, I'm sure we'll find a lot of common topics."
"I hope so, too!"
Laughing and talking. Xing Xiaotian hugged the caravan leader with a full face and beard, and after greeting each other with false affection, Xing Xiaotian pretended to be hearty and said: "Your caravan has worked hard all the way, since you have come to our Blackstone City, it is our guests in Blackstone City, come to drink!" ”
As soon as Xing Xiaotian's words fell, a Fox girl came up with a silver platter, knelt on the ground with great respect, and held the wine utensils in the silver platter high.
When he saw the two wine glasses on the silver platter, the caravan leader's pupils shrank sharply. Such a natural and pure crystal cup, he has never seen it even in the imperial city of the Flame Empire, the dark red wine syrup ripples slightly in the sunlight and reflects a gorgeous brilliance, what is even more rare is that there are a few crystal clear ice cubes in the wine glass, a little water droplets continue to condense on the outer wall of the wine glass, just looking at it can feel extremely cool.
"Please drink this cup to the full~"
"Please!"
The caravan commander couldn't wait to take a sip, and in an instant, a cool breath went down his throat, driving away the heat in his body cleanly, and the caravan leader who had taken a cup of air in one gulp was almost unwilling to gasp. I just want to keep all this peerless delicacy in my stomach, and such a delicious grape brew can be sold at a sky-high price even in the royal city of the Flame Empire, not to mention the wine utensils and environment. Climate and other factors, it is no exaggeration to say that this sip of wine alone is worth the price of five camels.
Since Xing Xiaotian has already taken out the etiquette that should be taken out, he has to show off his goods according to the regulations. Immediately slapped his big hand.
"Smack! Syllable! ”
With two crisp slaps, a truck was quickly pulled over and the thick felt cloth was removed. A cart of pale yellow crystals appeared in front of Xing Xiaotian.
"Is this ......?
Faced with Xing Xiaotian's question, the caravan leader replied with a smug face: "This is the finest salt crystal of our Flame Empire, and it is a gift specially prepared for Lord Xing Xiaotian, I hope you don't dislike it!" ”
A whole cart of salt crystals can be said to be a heavy gift in any tribe, but this does not include Blackstone City, not to mention that Xing Xiaotian will not eat such salt crystals, even those vassal races may not eat them, they have long been accustomed to eating the snowflake essence salt brought by Xing Xiaotian, this kind of salt is only worthy of feeding livestock in everyone's eyes.
But after all, this is a kindness from others, and Xing Xiaotian can only accept it with a smile.
With this good start, the rest is simple, it is nothing more than a matter of selecting goods and negotiating prices.
A picture of Lacey dressed as a maid. Banhard mingled in the crowd, constantly watching, occasionally stopping to ask about the price of the goods, at first her eyes were always on Xing Xiaotian's body, but they were soon replaced by the goods in front of her.
At this time, in front of her was a basket of fiery red fruit with emerald green buds. Banhard saw that there were many orc girls picking such fruits, and she couldn't help but pick up one of the servants who were guarding the stall and asked, "What kind of fruit is this?" ”
The rabbit girl on the opposite side seemed to be well-trained, and she didn't look afraid at all, but said with a smile: "This is our unique dragon fruit in Blackstone City, as long as five catties of grain can be exchanged for one, do you want to taste it?" ”
Lacey. Banhard was stunned, not because the price was too expensive, but because it was too cheap, as far as she knew, no matter what kind of fruit could be sold for the same weight of gold in the gravel wasteland, now it could be exchanged for only five catties of grain!? When did fruit become so cheap in gravel wasteland?
But no matter what you think in your heart, Lacey. Banhard still couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart, and immediately replied with a smile: "I'll try two more!" ”
No need for Lacey. Banhard spoke, and his own maid sent ten catties of grain, and the rabbit girl skillfully peeled off one dragon fruit, and handed the other to Lacey. In the hands of Banhard.
The white flesh shimmers in the sunlight This crystal shine, at a glance, it is full of moisture, and when you bite into it, the sweet flesh bursts directly in the mouth. Banhard's eyes lit up, delicious, not ordinary!
Sweet and delicious, full of juice, if it is easy to store, it is definitely a rare treasure, not to mention, this dragon fruit alone is worth the fare of this trip, Lacey. Banhard is not a martial artist who only knows how to kill, she is naturally from a big family, she will naturally not lack a fief, as long as she thinks that her fief is full of this kind of fruit, Lacey. Banhard couldn't help but feel a heartbeat, for the Flame Empire, which lacked fruit, the benefits were definitely enough to make the royal family blush.
Eating dragon fruit in her mouth, but Lacey. Banhard's heart was already thinking about how to get a few plants when he left!
If dragon fruit makes Lacey. Banhard saw a glittering financial road, and the next pots and pans made her feel deeply jealous, now the smelting workshop in Blackstone City has long been able to produce daily necessities on its own with the support of Zhao Liang, and the pots and pans are all made of stainless steel, all of which can be used as mirrors at the bottom of the plate.
This kind of forging process has never been seen or even heard of, which is not a good thing for the Flame Empire, and it is also a good thing for Lacey. The biggest purpose of Banhard's trip was to find out the origin of the metal in Blackstone.
Walk and walk, Lacey. Banhard came to a huge tent, the whole tent was covered with a huge black cloth, and as soon as he walked in, Lacey. Banhard couldn't help but be stunned, because what caught his eye was a tent within a tent, and in the huge tent there was a cowhide tent that was even more covered, what was it that was so mysterious?
