My second meeting with the Marquess of Ludwig Aston was at the Autumn Hunting Gathering hosted by the Third Prince Eric.

Prince Eric found a natural hot spring on the northern slopes of Mount Majaro and built a hunting estate at the source of the royal family of Angelboy, who had enclosed nearly 1,000 hectares of mountainous land on the northern slopes of Mount Majaro. Every autumn when the best hunting season in Majaro is held, Prince Eric hosts such a hunting party, and Prince Eric invites his friends to the estate for a two-day hunt, and this year Ying Li and I received an invitation from Prince Eric.

The hunting ground is on the northern slope of Mount Majaro, and it takes at least five days to reach the port town by air from the southern pass through the Heroes' Pass in a magic caravan, and then from the airport town along the road around the foot of Mount Majaro to the north slope, but it only takes one day to reach Prince Eric's estate by horseback over the north mountain of Majaro.

Recently, the classes at the Royal Academy of Magic have been very tight, in order to avoid the anger of the magic teachers due to the lack of class, Ying Li and I chose to cross the north slope mountain road to Prince Eric's manor the day before the hunting meeting, the ancient Bolai horse is not suitable for walking between the mountain paths, so we chose to ride the rare argali in the imperial capital, this is one of the favorite mounts of the dwarves, one of the seven monarchs of the dwarven kingdom, King Stan once gave James ten argali sheep, which are now kept in the animal pen of the lakeside manor.

The argali, a very docile animal, was domesticated by the dwarves and made it a mount ideal for mountain walking.

Before dawn, I rode a magic caravan through several manor castles in the first block to the foot of the northern slope of the Majaro crater, where we changed to ride argali, and found two guides to take us along the mountain trail over Mount Majaro, and it took a whole day to reach Prince Eric's manor on the northern slope of the mountain.

......

The dusk on the northern slope of Mount Majaro is about an hour later than that of the Imperial Capital, and standing on the north slope, the red sun in the distance no longer disappears from the top of the mountains, but gradually sinks below the horizon, a spectacular beauty that can only be seen on the outer slopes of Mount Majaro.

Prince Eric's estate was built halfway up the northern slope of Mount Majaro, on the northern slope of Mount Majaro grew seventy or eighty meters high fir and red pine, each of these huge trees almost had to be surrounded by five or six people holding hands, there were no weeds in the mountains, just clusters of low trees and shrubs, blueberry trees and lantern fruit trees could always be seen in the woodland, of course, there were many vines, the old bark of the giant trees grew some lilac moss, there were almost no large carnivorous beasts in this woodland, the brown bear and the gray wolf were almost cleaned up by the members of the Royal Knights, only a few pine boars, elk and roe deer, which are suitable for hunting, are kept in captivity in hunting grounds.

As I rode through the woods on argali, I occasionally saw pheasants flying out of the bushes between the woods, flying a few hundred meters between the giant trees, and then burrowing into the trees in the distance.

This was the first time Ella had left the Imperial Capital, and the orc girl was dressed in light leather armor, carrying a delicate alloy bow, and a quiver full of feathered arrows, and she shot a few multicolored pheasants along the way, tied them to the hooks of the saddle with ropes, and talked to Becky with great excitement along the way, occasionally talking about life in the Imperial Capital Warrior Academy, occasionally talking about Elci as a child, or the Pai Plateau that Karantso told her about her memories.

"I'll go back to that plateau one day and see that snowy mountain. Little Ella always swore like this.

The northern slopes of the mountain are not too steep, and the trails chosen to be taken are safe and safe because there are guides who are familiar with the area, so the journey is not too hard.

Prince Eric's estate was built at the source of the hot springs, a complex of brick and timber buildings with separate lofts nestled against the hill and scattered alongside steaming pools.

If it is summer, it is estimated that there will be a lot of mosquitoes and poisonous insects here, but after late autumn, these mosquitoes either burrow into the soil for the winter, or freeze to death in the cold wind.

Among the princes of the Angel Bold royal family, only the third prince Eric is particularly fond of holding some balls, as well as such hunting gatherings and other activities, I walked into the manor with Ying Li, Prince Eric also came out of the main building with his servants, he walked quickly down the steps and came to me and Ying Li, the corners of his eyes squeezed out some crow's feet because of the smile, wearing a white shirt and sheepskin vest, standing straight in front of us, he smiled at me and Ying Li and said: " I thought you would take a horse-drawn carriage from Mt. Majaro and enjoy some of the scenery along the way, and the scenery outside Mt. Majaro is also beautiful this season. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took Ying Li's arm and told her to jump steadily off her mount, when a servant ran over and took the reins from our hands.

"There's always some magic class at the academy that you have to take, and this shortcut is also a great experience. Ying Li leaned next to Eric and said softly.

Prince Eric walked up to me, slapped me in the face, and said in a very familiar voice, "Dinner will be better in a while, we are making plans for tomorrow's hunt, do you want to consult together?"

"Yes!" I said.

Prince Eric asked the servants to take the daughters to a small and independent loft to rest, and the women were in need of a hot shower and a change of clothes to rest after a day's journey, while I was dragged by Prince Eric to the living room of the main building.

As Prince Eric walked into the room, he found that there were many young nobles sitting inside, some members of the royal family had only met once at the celebration of the harvest festival, and some young nobles, everyone was chatting in the room, and some people were sitting on the chess table playing cards, and the tray carried by the servants was full of wine, Prince Eric walked into the room, and was pulled by several nobles to the sand table model, and I also walked with them, and they were really discussing tomorrow's hunting route, and I was not familiar with this mountainous area, so I just listened to these nobles discuss。

The waiter brought me a tray with a variety of alcoholic drinks, and I chose a glass of golden cider in it, not because I like to drink it, but because among these alcoholic drinks, I am the most familiar with golden cider, and this is also a unique habit of the people of the North, and I don't know when it began, the golden cider has become a drink that symbolizes the identity of the people of the North, and many people in the empire have a subjective impression: all people in the North like to drink Golden Cider.

Looking around this luxurious living room, there were some hunting trophies hanging on the left wall, among them was a brown bear's fur that looked very old, an elk skull with strong antlers, and a magic crossbow and a javelin made of ironwood on this wall, I walked over to the brown bear's fur with a wine glass, and reached out and touched the fangs of the brown bear's grinning lips, the teeth were very sharp.

At this moment, the Marquis Ludwig Aston appeared beside me, he was still dressed very carefully as he had met the first time, he had one arm around his chest, and the thumb of the other hand shaved a very neatly trimmed beard on his chin, and his eyes fell on the brown bear fur on the wall as I did, and said: "There is no brown bear of this size to be found on the northern slopes of Majaro, all the dangerous elements have been cleared out by the knights, and now the greatest potential danger in this mountain forest is the steep mountain." ”

I turned my head to look at the Marquis Ludwig Aston standing beside me, and said to him calmly: "Marquis of Aston, you also like hunting?"

I didn't tell him about my idea of buying a bed crossbow at the other day, because we were meeting for the first time and we hadn't yet established a basic trust with each other, and according to Alia, we had to meet at least three times before we talked about business. So when I met him this time, I also followed his topic and chatted about it.

Marquis Ludwig Aston smiled and said proudly: "Hunting is not only a sport for young people, but I prefer to hunt second-level magical beasts such as salamanders and earth storms in the primeval forest compared to these small forest beasts......

The Marquis of Ludwig Aston told me the story of his adventures as a young man, and we walked to the viewing room next door to the living room with floor-to-ceiling windows in hand with wine glasses.

Sitting in a chair by the floor-to-ceiling window, I thought that this Marquess of Ludwig Aston was really talkative.

Later, when I talked about my identity as a northerner, I said to him, "When I was in El City, I also went to the edge of the Ziqing Mountains to hunt a two-headed flame snake lizard......

Since I had the same adventures as the Marquess of Ludwig Aston, we had a very speculative conversation.

"Marquis Giga, I've heard about your rune workshop producing magic bolts?" said Marquis Ludwig Aston.

I was slightly stunned, I didn't expect him to take the initiative to mention the matter of the Rune Workshop, hearing him ask like this, I also nodded honestly and said: "Well, that's true, at present, I mainly supply some single-attribute giant crossbow arrows to the South Wind Legion, you know, I have some connections in the channel of the South Wind Legion." ”

It's not a secret after all, as long as anyone in the imperial capital who pays a little attention to some magic retribution knows that I own a rune workshop.

Marquis Ludwig Aston laughed a few times and said, "Hehe, you are too modest, I have heard that not only the Legion of the South Wind has used the giant crossbow arrows produced by your workshop, but even the Legion of the Mo Clan and the Durva Legion have used the magic crossbow arrows produced by your workshop, with all due respect, if you still have extra magic crossbow arrows over there, you may as well sell me some, I also have a great demand for these magic crossbow arrows." ”

I looked at the Marquis Ludwig Aston with my mouth wide open, and I was thinking about how to buy a bed crossbow from this marquis, but I didn't expect him to have a demand for my magic crossbow arrows, in that case......

"You're going to buy some single-attribute giant crossbow arrows?" I could barely hide the joy in my heart, trying to control the upturned corners of my mouth, and even the next moment I was about to burst out laughing.

Marquis Ludwig Aston solemnly said, "If the price is right, the dual-attribute crossbow arrows are also acceptable. ”

I heard that he wanted to buy a dual-attribute giant crossbow arrow, I suddenly calmed down a lot, the dual-attribute magic crossbow arrow has always been intercepted by me for my own use, if it is not a last resort, I am unwilling to sell, so I said a little euphemistically: "Well, the current production of dual-attribute arrows is not high, the cost has not been reduced, the price is a little expensive, and the cost performance is far inferior to the single-attribute penetrating arrows and armor-piercing arrows." ”

The Marquis of Ludwig Aston asked me curiously, "They all say that the price of your magic crossbow arrows is very high...... It's very fair, but I haven't been able to find out the real price. ”

I don't have anything to hide about it, and the single-attribute crossbow arrows sold to the Southwind Legion and Louis are all clearly priced, so I said: "A piercing arrow with the 'piercing' attribute is twenty silver coins, an armor-piercing arrow arrow with the 'sharp' attribute is a 'fifteen' silver coin, and a dual-attribute giant crossbow arrow with two magical attributes combined into one magic crystal." ”

Ludwig Marquis Aston's eyes became very bright, he kept thinking about it, and after a while he said to me: "Well, the price of those magic crossbow arrows sold in the Imperial Capital Magic Market is almost three or four times lower, so if you calculate it, the war cost of using magic crossbow arrows is actually affordable, but I don't know how to buy your magic crossbow arrows?" You probably also know that I own the largest bed crossbow workshop in the north of the Grin Imperial Capital, and there is also a great demand for these magic crossbow arrows, I know that your giant crossbow arrows have a fixed sales channel, but I also want to participate, I heard that you also have a great demand for bed crossbows, if possible, I want to use bed crossbows to replace the magic crossbow arrows in your hand. ”

As for the equivalent exchange of the Marquis Ludwig Aston Marquis, in fact, this is what I wanted, but I hesitated a little and said to him: "The magic crossbow arrows I sell are all at cost price, because there is something to do with it......!

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at Prince Eric's manor, I reached a cooperation intention with Ludwig Marquis of Aston, and Marquis Aston also very readily agreed to provide me with a bed crossbow at cost price, and finally we signed a magic contract on the spot, 3,000 single-attribute giant crossbow arrows can be exchanged for a brand new bed crossbow, if I don't want the car part under the bed crossbow, the number of single-attribute giant crossbow arrows can be reduced to 2,000......
