Chapter 44: Edith, the Virgin of Wealth
For Edith? The visiting Niclair family of Carlland gave the highest level of reception, and even the statue of Luo Yun changed into a formal attire and stood at the door of the villa with a smile like an old butler.
After all, to send a rich virgin to the door, Luo Yun always has to be more attentive.
After he left White Fir Town with Andrew Knight and his party yesterday, Edith sent someone with Luo Yun's warrant to take away the red wine agreed upon by the two from Niclair Winery, this year's production is fifty percent and two percent of the gold label Niclair inventory, especially each bottle of it is expensive, such a large amount adds up to a lot of money.
And even a behemoth like the Kalland Chamber of Commerce is difficult to raise such a large amount of cash for a while, in the hands of those shrewd treasurers, the idle of every gold coin is a crime, in their opinion, the duty of gold coins is to invest to produce more gold coins, so even if a core member of the Kallan family like Edith wants to raise such a large sum of money, they need to wait pitifully for the remittance of the family chamber of commerce in other regional branches.
The brand new gate of Niclair Manor just opened yesterday, and four pure-blooded war horses with pure white coats slowly drove towards the villa with a brisk pace pulling a delicate carriage with a plain color, looking at the four muscular and angular horses, Luo Yun couldn't help but sigh, each of these four war horses is worth thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins, not only that, the cost of raising these war horses is not a small amount, every war horse needs someone to take care of it, and even the humidity of the forage needs to be controlled. And in order to maintain the blood and strength of these war horses, they also have to mix some herbs that are beneficial to qi and blood in their forage every now and then, so even a wealthy family like Nikelel only raised a few purebred horses for hunting, as for the use of pure-blood war carts, this kind of thing is still extremely luxurious for Luo Yun at least now.
"Tsk, what a rich man."
In Luo Yun's sour exclamation, Edith's carriage had already walked briskly to the door of the villa, and with the support of Kale, Edith slowly stepped out of the carriage and looked at Luo Yun who was standing in front of the gate with a shallow smile.
As a formal visit, today's Edith changed into a gorgeous royal blue dress, the tailored long skirt set off her well-developed figure to the fullest, and the delicate and pretty face with a little pink made Luo Yun, who was swaying in front of them all day long, also have a feeling of brightness.
After some lengthy etiquette and greetings, Luo Yun and Edith walked side by side towards the living room of the villa.
As he walked, looking at the renovated manor, Edith chuckled and said, "This is really a nice manor, relaxed and exquisite, I prefer this place to the Calland manor in Baishan Town, of course, I would have liked it more if it hadn't been repaired." ”
Shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, under the auspices of the elder Callan who was born in the military, the architectural style of every manor built by the Karlan family seemed monotonous and solemn, compared to the exquisite and gorgeous artistic architectural style of Niclair Manor, it was indeed easier to be favored by women, but why this woman felt that the unrepaired manor was more of an appetite for her, Luo Yun was really a little unclear.
Looking at Luo Yun's puzzled face, Edith chuckled and said: "I thought your manor was still beaten to pieces the night before, and I was going to send some people to help you, you know, the Kallan family has the best architects and gardeners in Duis, they can give this manor a new life, of course, this requires you to pay a small price." ”
Luo Yun wanted to cover his face a little, this guy is also a young lady from a big aristocratic family, why did he start the work of a contractor, is this too cold.
As if he knew Luo Yun's thoughts, Edith smiled and shrugged his shoulders and said: "Rich nobles are nobles, and those who don't have money are just broken households, and now business is getting more and more difficult to do, little brother Duran, every gold coin is soaked in hard sweat, especially today I have to spend a lot of money." ”
Feeling Edith's gaze that suddenly became sharp, Luo Yun could only pull the corners of his mouth and said with a dry smile: "Don't be so stingy, the so-called willing to give, there is to give up, how can you earn more money if you don't spend these gold coins?" ”
"Do you want to give it up?" Muttering a few words in a low voice, Edith raised his eyebrows, and said with some surprise: "What you said is unexpectedly very reasonable, are you secretly studying philosophy at home every day in addition to studying how to deceive little girls with sonnets?" ”
Luo Yun's face twitched slightly, it seems that Duran has a bad reputation, and he writes poems to deceive the little girl, and this ancient philosophy summed up by philosophers for many generations can be studied by an otaku at home.
While talking, the two had already walked into the living room of the villa, and after the guests were seated, Miss Elena personally brought a pot of black tea, probably because of this morning's incident, and her eyes deliberately avoided Luo Yun's gaze when pouring the tea, seeing that he was a little inexplicable.
Edith, who was sitting on the side, swept his eyes over Miss Elena and Luo Yun, who exuded a strange atmosphere, and couldn't help but show a very interesting look on his face.
After Elena turned to leave, Edith quickly restrained the strange look on his face, and said solemnly: "One of the conditions of our cooperation, we have already taken away the batch of Niclair red wine, now we should talk about the price, after my discussion with Carlis, we will buy each ordinary Niclair red wine at the price of fifty gold coins, as for the gold label Niclair in the third wine cellar, one thousand gold coins per bottle should be a very fair price." ”
Luo Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, the Kallan family may be to lay a good start for the cooperation between the two sides, the price of these two red wines is quite fair, in the usual years, other chambers of commerce come to Baishan Town to pick up the goods at a lower price than this, but compared to the price of these red wines, the bracelet in Edith's hand is more attractive to his attention, if he guessed correctly, Edith's bracelet should be an extremely rare storage bracelet.
This is a space treasure that is a whole level higher than the space bag in his hand, but compared to the space ring in his hand that is a token of the patriarch of the Niclair family, this bracelet is a level lower, and his eyes can't help but sweep the ring on his index finger that is like a black dragon head and tail. However, this kind of thing should be talked about when it is free, and the most important thing at the moment is to raise the level of the town guard mansion as soon as possible.
Seeing that Luo Yun did not object to this price, Edith smiled slightly: "Yesterday, we took away half of this year's winery's output from Niclair Winery, which is 11,000 ordinary red wines, and 20% of the inventory of 530 gold label Niclaires in Wine Cellar 3, according to this price, it is one million and eighty-eight thousand gold coins, but Duran, the goods you ordered from the Karlan family yesterday afternoon have also arrived now, and the price of these things can simply be deducted from this money."
His heart accelerated slightly, and Luo Yun asked softly, "What I want has arrived?" ”
Edith smiled lightly, the space bracelet on Hao's wrist flashed, and the three suitcases fell heavily on the carpet at the feet of the two, looking at Luo Yun, who suddenly flashed with excitement in his eyes, Edith smiled and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Luo Yun opened all three suitcases in turn.
On the soft carpet, the three suitcases with the same style, all of which are two feet long and wide, are all filled with one by one Demonic Beast crystal nuclei of different sizes, which seem to be at least hundreds, of which more than eighty percent are the magic cores of ordinary first-order demonic beasts, and the slightly larger second-order demon cores account for about one percent of the total, as for the number of third-order demon cores, it is even the least, I am afraid it is less than one percent of the total, but Luo Yun doesn't care about these, and roughly estimates, The hundreds of magic cores in these three suitcases could provide him with at least thousands of mystical energy.
Gently exhaling a long breath, a smile couldn't help but appear on Luo Yun's face, and the resources for upgrading the second-level town guard mansion were finally enough.
