Chapter 124: Returning with a full load
As Jiang Feng expected, after listening to his description of the oil painting, Count Rodel did not hesitate to buy the painting.
As for the price, it was one hundred and twenty tons of orange-yellow gold bars.
Even if he was prepared for the huge financial resources of the merchant family, Count Rodel nodded without hesitation, and his movements were still beyond Jiang Feng's imagination, so much so that he wondered if he was selling them too cheaply.
Is it cheap?
In fact, in good conscience, it is not cheap at all, if you do not take into account the exchange rate changes, if you convert all this gold into UBS, the value has exceeded 200 million UBS. And what is the concept of 200 million UBS? The full set of equipment and horses to arm a heavy knight is not more than 100,000 UBS, and 200 million UBS is more than enough to build two knights.
But even so, Count Rodell agreed without hesitation, and he looked like he was afraid that Jiang Feng would regret it.
After all, the opportunity to exchange worldly money for witchcraft props is probably only this once in this life.
A secret realm that completely belongs to the Benjit family, and he can use this secret realm to do a lot of things.
Even as a transit warehouse for materials, this commercial port will not lose too much in this commercial port where every inch of land is valuable.
And that's just one of the uses of this painting.
Of course, when explaining the painting, Jiang Feng did not mention anything about the Blood Sect, and did not even further explain the origin of the painting.
But Count Rodel didn't ask, for it seemed to him that it was all inconsequential......
"Do you need me to show you your gold?" Asked the butler to send the oil painting to the treasure house, Count Roder looked at Jiang Feng and asked.
"No need." Jiang Feng stood up, looked at the sky outside the window, and continued, "I will leave the port of Rhone at noon today, and you can send it directly to the port for me when the time comes." ”
With these words, he walked out the door.
As for whether Count Rodel would default on his debts, Jiang Feng was not worried about this issue at all.
Dare to owe money to the wizard, unless he doesn't want to live.
……
Sitting at the dresser, Miss Hannah allowed the maid behind her to braid her hair.
The other maid looked at her incredulously, as if she had seen the sun come out in the west.
For the first time, Miss Hannah sat honestly in front of the mirror and offered to help her get dressed.
I have to say that her hair is really beautiful, and her golden hair is like a precious silk, smooth and soft, sprinkled on her shoulders like a waterfall. Her fair-skinned and smooth face inherited her mother's beauty, and even without powder, she was as flawless as a jewel.
"Miss, what makes you ...... Sudden change of attention? The maid, who was carefully taking care of Miss Hannah's makeup and had freckles on the tip of her nose, asked cautiously.
"What do you mean? Wasn't I the kind of person who used to be surprised? Miss Hannah, who had been happy, frowned.
"No, don't dare." The maid lowered her head in trepidation, "It's just that I think you're a little special today." ”
As the eyeliner arranged by the lady next to the lady, she has a crucial task, that is, to pay attention to whether the lady has a sweetheart.
For a famous family like the Banjet family, this is a very important thing, and there is no room for sloppiness.
Because it's about the face of the family, if Miss Anna falls in love with a poor boy...... Although this kind of thing is almost impossible to happen, as a personal maid, she still has to guard against this kind of thing that is not the right door to happen.
"Forget it, don't worry about you in general, I'm in a good mood today." Miss Hannah said magnanimously.
"Thank you, miss." The maid breathed a sigh of relief.
"I know what you're thinking," Miss Hannah snorted softly as she glanced at the maid behind her, "Mommy asked you to inquire, didn't she?" Rest assured, I do...... It is true that there is a sweetheart, but the identity of that person will definitely not disgrace the family crest of the Banjet family. ”
"Is it the youngest son of the Count of Celles?" The maid hurriedly asked.
"He? Too naïve, no. ”
"Is it the eldest son of the Baron de Antioch?"
Although he is a baron, he can't do anything like a city-state alliance title, and anyone can become an earl as long as he is willing to spend money.
The family of Baron Antioch, although not of much status in the city-state alliance, was quite famous in the Rhône region. Although the Count of Rhodel was expanding his business in the port of Rhône, it was up to the Lord to ask whether it was necessary to marry the family of Baron Antioch.
The maid pondered in her mind, and decided to wait a little while to talk to the lady.
At this moment, however, Miss Hannah shook her head again, and her eyes were rather impatient.
"Don't guess. I feel like you've lowered my taste. ”
Not the Count of Cheres' house, not the Baron of Antioch's house?
The maid panicked, and what she feared most happened anyway.
"Miss...... You can't be sloppy about lifelong events, please think twice......"
"I just met him this morning."
"???"
The maid was stunned, as if she had been petrified.
Hannah, who said this, had a faint flush on her fair cheeks, like a green apple.
In this way, it looks like a girl who has fallen in love......
No, it's not like.
It's just ......
"I hate it, don't let people say it," Miss Hannah blushed, and when she opened the conversation, she no longer hid it, and chirped, "Do you think wizards like blonde girls?" I'm 16 years old, if it weren't for the fact that an adult had proposed to my father, would my father have stopped me? ”
Probably not......
Don't say it won't, if the wizard really proposes marriage to the master, I'm afraid that there will be several big carriages for the dowry.
Merely......
Thinking of this, a bitter expression appeared on the maid's face.
"What's wrong? Kelisa? Seeing that the maid did not answer her words, Miss Hannah looked back at her and blinked.
"Nothing, miss, just ......," the maid said again.
"Just?" Hannah looked confused.
"Wizard, he'...... It's gone. ”
"Gone?!"
……
At noon, outside the port of the Rhône, the sea was blue and cloudless.
Shirtless men, carrying boxes full of goods, walked on the docks of the port, coming and going. Merchants in exotic costumes, standing on the docks, gesturing their fingers, bargaining with the merchants of the port. Vendors sitting on the side of the road, in an enthusiastic tone, sell fresh fish from the stalls. The woman with the child picked and chose in front of the vendor, and finally hesitantly pulled out the silver coin in the child's eager pull.
In the seaports of the city-states, the most common cargo of marine fish was also the main source of meat for the poor. It was precisely because of this that from the moment he stepped into this port, Jiang Feng could smell the fishy smell that could not be dispersed.
On the edge of the port, Count Rhodel saw Jiang Feng off.
In addition to the gold bars exchanged for oil paintings, Count Rodel also gave Jiang Feng a carriage of red wine as a gift for identification. These wines are all homegrown on the Banjet family estate, and although they are not more than a year old, they still have a refreshing aroma.
To Jiang Feng's surprise, he originally thought that Andorra had left, but he didn't expect that he would also set off today, and he happened to collide with himself.
Not surprisingly, smelling the wine, Andorra consciously took a barrel out of the carriage.
Jiang Feng was used to this, so he didn't say anything.
He's got a bunch of them anyway.
"I still recommend you take a trip to Silvermoon Bay, it's all about our fate." Before leaving, Andorra persuaded Jiang Feng.
"I'll consider it if I have time." It was still the same answer, and Jiang Feng's answer had not changed at all.
Andorra shook his head, and seeing that he was disappointed, he didn't say anything, and turned and walked towards the docks.
Noticing the expression on Leia's face, Jiang Feng looked at her and asked.
"Are you worried?"
After a moment's hesitation, Leia nodded.
"Your worries are purely unnecessary." Jiang Feng sighed and said.
As he was talking, the sound of a long whistle came from afar.
Attracted by the strange sound, the sailors on the docks stopped what they were doing, looked their heads, and looked beyond the harbor. And when they saw the strange ship, their eyes widened.
The merchants, in particular, had stiff expressions on their faces, and their mouths were wide open enough to fit eggs.
How does it move? Almost all sailors were thinking about this, and no matter how much they stretched their necks, they could not find the sails on the deck.
It drove so fast! The merchants were shocked by this, because they knew exactly what such speed meant......
Looking at the approaching steamship, the corners of Jiang Feng's mouth hooked up a smile. On deck, he saw Captain Kerut, who had a much better tan than the last time they had seen him, and thought it was the result of the long seas.
In addition to Captain Kairut, Jiang Feng also saw an unexpected figure, and a hint of surprise couldn't help but appear in his eyes.
Ahead of him, Emily waved her arms in surprise.
"Xiaobai?!"
Although there were some unpleasant things when we first met, we got along well later. For the people standing on the port, Xiaobai howled, but it frightened many soldiers on the port.
If it weren't for the wizard standing next to them, they might all have to rack up their crossbows.
Seeing that steamship, Yi Ran's face couldn't help but show a trace of nostalgia.
Of course, her nostalgia was mainly for Jiang Feng's shelter.
While life in the Wizard's Tower is comfortable, it's impossible to compare to a bedroom with futuristic technology.
If nothing else, bathing is one of them.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, the steamship slowly stopped on the edge of the dock.
Ordering the sailors to turn off the coal-fired boiler, Kairutra jumped off the deck and walked quickly in the direction of Jiang Feng after lowering the gate at hand.
"My lord, I'll take you home."
"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Feng patted Kairut on the shoulder and said with a smile.
The latter looked flattered, and shook his head with a smile: "Originally, I was in this business, where can I talk about any hard work." ”
At this time, a huge white figure rushed down from the ship, and it rushed to Jiang Feng's side like the wind. I haven't seen him for a long time, Xiaobai has grown to more than two meters tall, burly like a gorilla, so that people can't tell that his ancestor is a monkey.
"Twitter." When he finally saw his master, Xiaobai shouted excitedly, forgetting how to speak for a while.
"What's wrong? I haven't seen each other for so long, and I can't even speak. Jiang Feng said with a smile, reaching out and touching the handful of white hair on Xiao Bai's head.
Let Jiang Feng touch his head, hook his head Xiaobai, with a silly smile on his face, and said in a humming voice.
"Master, I want to kill you."
"Hahahaha." Looking at Xiaobai's cute appearance, Jiang Feng couldn't help laughing.
Leia, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but laugh, and as for Emily, the little guy was already giggling without a ladylike image.
Standing not far behind Jiang Feng, Misha's lips pursed slightly, and her eyes were full of envy when she looked at Xiao Bai.
After returning from the stubborn stone town, this kind of intimate action, the owner has not done it to her for a long time.
Thinking of the beauty of that night, her cheeks couldn't help but blush a little, and she secretly glanced at Jiang Feng's back, hesitating in her heart, whether she should take the initiative.
For example, sneaking into the owner's room at night while everyone is asleep and giving him a little surprise......
But would he like himself like that?
Thinking of this, Misha couldn't help but hesitate a little.
Emily, who was giggling, suddenly shrunk her neck and snorted, and quickly looked left and right, her small eyebrows furrowed slightly.
I always feel that someone is going to do my detriment......
