(At the end of the previous chapter, Lady Annabella and Iman. Baron Owen's relationship has been adjusted slightly)

Constantinople has one of the largest fire and phosphorus bomb workshops in the province of Bena, this firearms workshop was not built in the city, but was built on the east bank of the lake under the stone cliff, the entire lake was divided into the military district of Constantinople, and the fire and phosphorus bombs made here were not only supplied to the private legions of the Bena army and the lords of the province, but also sold to the lords of other provinces.

Even though the rainy season has passed, the road is still a bit potholed and not so easy to walk, and the magic caravan is a bit bumpy on the forest road.

Constantinople is located in the middle of a large wooded area, surrounded by maple forests that are divided like pizza by spreading out of the woodland.

It is a very important transport hub in the interior of the province of Bena.

Lady Annabella's maid led Surdak into a magical caravan and went straight out of the city to the front of a large workshop under Lake Moon Bay.

From the outside, the workshop looked like a lumberyard built on the edge of a lake, and on the mossy meadows of the lake was a row of large warehouses that had not been told to him by the handmaiden that were the firearms workshops of Constantinople, which Surdak might have always thought were a row of warehouses for timber.

From the outside, the gate of the workshop seemed to be unguarded, but the magic caravan stopped in front of the gate, and immediately four guards came out of the gatehouse to inspect the magic caravan, and Annabella's maid handed over a badge, stuck her head out of the window, and said to the doorman, "I want to see Iman. Irving. ”

The guard at the gate did not let him go, but stood next to the magic caravan and said to the maid, "Please wait a minute, I will pass the news to Iman. Lord Owen. ”

The maid knew that this would be the case, nodded slightly, and did not say anything more.

The coachman skillfully drove the magic caravan to a meadow, the slope of which was covered with staghorn grass, and the wheels ran over them, and the whole wheel was stained green, leaving two deep ruts.

In fact, Surdak didn't have to wait long, and a young nobleman came out of the workshop.

The maid invited Surdak out of the carriage, and first saluted the young nobleman respectfully, the young nobleman was very familiar with the maid, so he just waved his hand casually, and glanced at Surdak, and asked the maid: "Why are you looking for me at this time, what is the urgent matter?" ”

"Lord Iman, it was Madame who ordered me to bring Baron Surdak here." The maid to Iman. Owen introduced, and then said to Surdak: "Baron Surdak, this is Iman. Baron Owen, head of the Constantine workshop, son of Lady Annabella. ”

Surdak didn't expect that Lady Annabella, who looked so young, would already have such a big son.

Iman. Owen glanced at Surdak with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Surdak knew that it was time for him to come out and explain the situation, so he told Iman. Owen said: "Baron Iman, here's the thing, I found a sulfur mine in the territory, this time I came to Constantinople, just to solve some sulfur ore sales problems, I heard from a friend that there is a workshop in Constantinople that needs sulfur ore, this time I took the liberty to come here to see if you need sulfur ore here." ”

Iman just nodded slightly, he had a pair of green eyes that looked as beautiful as Hathaway, he looked at Surdak seriously, and saw that Surdak was calm, and did not flinch at all, before he continued to ask, "Are you from Hylandsa?" ”

"Yes." Surdak said.

Iman lowered his head and took two steps, then turned to Surdak and asked, "Oh, mother doesn't know many people in the city of Highlandsa, are you a relative of Lady Mariana, or do you know Dorothy. Mrs. Newman? ”

"Me and Mariana. Mrs. Christie knows. Surdak said.

"That's really ......" Iman smiled a little strangely, and his expression was like that of Surdak being a little white face, but his somewhat gloomy face became much more friendly, and he immediately became very active, and said to Surdak very enthusiastically:

"I may not be able to help you if you want to buy fire phosphorus bombs, now there are not many fire phosphorus bombs in stock, and they have to be used by the main army of Bena, so the number of fire phosphorus bombs that can be divided is limited, and many lords want to equip some in the army, and now the orders on the workshop side have been lined up until next spring, I really can't ...... it"

Iman. Owen's voice changed and he said:

"But if you want to sell sulfur ore, as long as the quality is good, you can go directly to the workshop to find me in the future."

Iman. Owen boarded the carriage of the magic caravan and invited Surdak to come up, and asked Surdak with a smile:

"Baron Surdak, can you show me the sample you brought?"

"Of course." After Surdak finished speaking, he took out a few pieces of sulfur ore from his magic waist bag and placed them on the folding table of indigo wood in the carriage.

Iman. Owen picked up a piece of sulfur ore, first leaned to his nose and sniffed it carefully, then lifted the sulfur ore, looked at the color in the sun, took out a small hammer and knocked a small piece of sulfur ore, put it into the silver tray and gently crushed it, and groped for the sand and gravel in the sulfur ore in the silver tray with his thumb.

"There are some impurities, but overall it's not bad." Iman. Owen looked up and said to Surdak, "As long as it is a sulfur mine of this quality, you can send it to us." ”

When he looked at the ore, his eyes were very focused.

Then he raised his head and discussed the price with Surdak, and his eyes became very shrewd again: "As for the price...... Just according to the current market purchase price! ”

He spoke tentatively, and when Surdak did not object, he added:

"At present, the landing price of sulfur ore in Constantinople is 5 silver and 40 copper plates per pound, but this price may fluctuate, and the current market you know is that the entire magic material market is rising."

He glanced at Surdak and waited for him to speak.

"That's fair." Surdak said.

Iman. Owen breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was that the Baron Surdak in front of him wanted to raise the price of the sulphur mine. Owen felt that the matter had to be settled at once, so he said, "Well, I can sign an agreement of intent with you, and when your sulphur ore arrives in Constantinople, someone will come to me here with the purchase agreement." ”

"Yes."

Surdak readily agreed.

Iman. Owen was in the carriage of the magic caravan at the entrance of the workshop, took out a piece of parchment from the drawer of the car, and quickly drafted a letter of intent, and the two signed their names on the parchment.

Get down to business, Iman. Owen smiled and said to Surdak, "Baron Surdak, if you are coming to Constantinople for the first time, I can take you around the city and taste our special food......

"I want to return to Hylansa City as soon as possible to organize the supply of goods if there is a chance in the future!" Surdak refused.

Iman. Owen didn't persuade, but just greeted the coachman in the royal seat, and said directly: "Then I'll send you back to the hotel." ”

The carriage slowly drove away from the workshop at Moon Bay Lake, leaving Iman behind. Owen's preconceptions about himself, this young nobleman is quite thoughtful.

……

On the main street of Constantinople, the magic caravan with the silver badge of the Owen family on the carriage will voluntarily move out of the way wherever the vehicles, horses, and pedestrians around it will voluntarily move so that the magic caravan can move unimpeded.

Surdak had never seen such a privileged vehicle in the city of Highlandsa, not even the current consul of the city of Highlandza, Bernard Bush. The Marquis of Christie did not have this honor.

Back at the hotel, after settling the room funds, Iman. Baron Owen insisted on sending Surdak out of the city.

Just when the magic caravan was about to leave the city, a knight rode a bluescale horse parallel to the magic caravan, and he was followed by two servants, the tall bluescale war horse just made him a little higher than the window of the carriage, the knight bowed his waist slightly, and looked inside against the windowpane, and saw Surdak and Iman in the carriage. Owen, slightly stunned, asked into the window:

"Iman! Iman ...... How do you sit in the car? ”

Iman. Owen waved his hand at the knight, opened the window, and said to the knight outside the window:

"My friend is leaving Constantinople and I want to see him off. This is Jude, this is Surdak! ”

The knight named Jude looked at Surdak seriously and said, "I seem to have seen you somewhere, let me think about it......"

Surdak looked at the knight outside the window suspiciously, wondering how he could know the knight here in Constantinople, where he had never been before.

At this time, a servant behind Jude leaned into his ear and reminded Jude:

"Boss, have you forgotten? When we were in the city of Vožmara, you were also treated by the Surdak knight, who was seriously injured in the rib and stabbed the right lobe of the lung with a broken rib, and the Surdak knight took a hellhound head and healed your wounds. ”

The knight thought about it at once, and when he looked at Surdak again, he was quite excited, and took the initiative to say:

"You are the Knight of Surdak of the Haylanza Guard Battalion...... Oh no, Baron Surdak......"

He saw Surdak chest. The former noble insignia immediately changed his tune, and then very warmly invited Surdak to stay in Constantinople for a few more days, giving him a chance to show his gratitude, but Surdak politely declined.

That Iman. Baron Owen didn't expect Jude and Surdak to know each other, and it seemed that Jude still owed Surdak a favor.

As the magic caravan passed by the city gate, Jude excitedly shouted to a group of guards battalion knights who were patrolling the city gate: "Hey, come and see who is coming to our Constantinople, it's the Surdak Knights...... Oh, baron! Don't you two always want to thank people in person? Now's your chance! ”

"Is the Knight of Surdak here?"

It just so happened that one of the knights of the guard battalion who was patrolling the city gate shouted......
