Anna was in the study, and the butler was standing beside her, her forehead shining slightly, and her gray sideburns had a hint of moisture.

After reading the small note in her hand, Anna raised her head and said to the butler, "Look, I was right to tell you not to sell those iron ingots so quickly." ”

The butler smiled bitterly, shook his head in a low voice and said, "It's still Your Excellency Clifford's skills, I'm old, I can't accept it." ”

The southern part of the forest does not produce black steel, although the blacksmith master giant hammer knows the material of black steel, but he has never seen it, the technology provided by Ades smelted iron ingots, at that time everyone thought that it was only better than ordinary steel, and did not realize that its performance was stronger than black steel.

&nb*; After the trial sale of Jinshuiwan, after a few days of dullness in the market, orders flocked to the market, and the price rose from four silver coins per pound all the way to a straight line, directly increased tenfold, and the price of four gold coins a pound made the housekeeper a little uncertain, and he wanted to come back to report, and the Ades over there had sent a message with a remote information disk, bluntly saying that these were not iron ingots, but steel ingots with performance comparable to black steel.

"A four-pound black steel scimitar, the market price is about seventy gold coins, the price of the blacksmith's craftsmanship and sword scabbards and other accessories, the price of a pound of black steel is more than ten gold coins, our steel ingots, at least to reach this price so that it will not be sold at a loss, and if the price is too cheap, those big merchants who are already in the arms business may directly buy our steel ingots, forge them into finished products and sell them, and we will lose money. Anna tapped her fingers on the table, thinking in her head, as she spoke to the butler.

"Then I'll go back and arrange for someone to price the ingot at ten gold coins a pound?" the butler pulled out his handkerchief. Wiping the slight sweat from his forehead, he said.

Anna pondered for a moment, then looked at the note in her hand and said, "Don't put a price on it." If the shipment of steel ingots is controlled, it is said that the supply is limited. Now that is the time of the promotion, only ten pounds of steel ingots a day are sent directly to those big arms merchants and military organizations in Jinshuiwan. ”

The housekeeper nodded, I have tried to send goods for nothing before, and when I first expanded my sales, many people would use such a method, and the housekeeper had no opinion, but the value of the goods sent this time was relatively high.

Anna thought for a moment and continued: "Don't talk about steel ingots and iron ingots in the future. Let's give this thing a name, let's call it the Black Cold Steel Ingot, and the finished product is the Black Cold Steel Armor Weapon, so that those who want to crack our technology will want to break their heads. ”

Black steel is not a particularly precious material, it belongs to the highest end of ordinary metals, but it is much cheaper than the lowest end of magic metals, so it is produced in many places on the mainland, and cold steel is the material obtained by cold quenching method of ordinary steel.

Anna mixed up the names of the two materials and placed them on the high-manganese steel smelted by Ades. It will really confuse those blacksmiths who want to crack this just now for a long time, black cold steel, obviously black steel uses cold quenching, let's try to see if we can make this kind of steel that is better than ordinary black steel.

"As for how much this black cold steel ingot will sell for in the future. Let's wait for Adès to discuss with the Goddess of the Forest's weapon master, and let's not make a decision yet, lest we lose money. "Anna didn't dare to set a price casually.

You must know that this material sells for between ten and twenty gold coins, and it is no problem. However, the price fluctuates in gold coins, and the monthly shipments are quite large. It reached three thousand pounds, and if it were sold for twenty gold coins. That's 6,000 gold coins, and many nobles, including the former Barony of Boden, may not have 6,000 gold coins a year's net profit.

The housekeeper nodded, this is for Ades to make an idea, if he still knows a lot about the general territorial things, but these things involve professionals, it is obviously not for him, a steward who only understands agriculture, to make decisions.

At this time, Adès, who was being talked about by Anna and the housekeeper, was rushing back to the town of Hekou on a river boat.

When I come back this time, I will first visit Nancy to see if I can get the news of the City Tree from her, and then I will go back to the Holy Residence, where my further cultivation and Mia's current physical condition will be under the Holy Residence, and let Cardinal test it to know the true condition.

Sister Yvis didn't come back this time, although Bayou Town is their home, but the volcanic island needs the two sisters to preside over it, so they can only ask Ward to say hello to Nancy Magician.

The river boat sailed past the outpost, and Adès looked at the gradually familiar scenery, and said to Mia next to him: "I don't know if I can meet your adoptive father when I come back this time, if he goes into the mountains to receive the goods, you will be waiting for him here, I don't know when the next time I will come back, your father and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

Mia stood next to Ades, shook her head slightly, and said: "Father, he has a new family, I still don't want to meet, so as not to embarrass his wife, or wait for my adoptive father to take the initiative to come to see me, I can leave a message in Riverside Town." ”

Mia's adoptive father, Carter, after successfully leading a new caravan, set up a new family, Mia is a little homesick, she is afraid that her adoptive father will not love her if he has established a new family, and he is afraid that the adoptive father who depends on each other will change.

Ades saw that there was no one left and right, and slapped Mia's ass with a snap, and said to Mia a little fiercely: "You are my head maid, without you, he can become the consul of the caravan? ”

Mia covered her ass with her hands, snorting and not knowing what to say.

Go and see him, if his mother-in-law dares to have the slightest disrespect for you, not to mention me, even the Holy House will not let her go, you must know that you are now the holy daughter of the unicorn queen, and even Cardinal will not dare to make a face to you.

What Adès said is the truth, the status of the saint in the sect is only slightly lower than that of the Nine Elders of the Supreme Council, and Mia is also the only saint of the unicorn queen, although the entire church of La Rui is managed by the church of the goddess of the forest, but a saint of a true god, whoever dares to disrespect her is blasphemous.

The river boat slowly sailed towards Hekou Town, and saw the long staircase at the wharf of Hekou Town from a distance, and vaguely saw the coolies waiting for the arrival of the cargo ship on the side of the stairs, Mia turned her head to look at her young master, if it weren't for him, she might still be a lumberjack working in a muddy lumber yard.

There was nothing wrong with activating the divine power seed in his body last time, he just wanted to guard the young master's side, and whoever wanted to hurt him had to step on his corpse......!
