A complete salamander skin is cooked to make a soft, magically carved high-quality leather, which takes at least two weeks to process in a leather shop, and the processing of this high-quality leather in a leather shop is quite expensive.

Since salamander hides are very rare in the magic market, and they are the top magic materials for making primary magic pattern constructs, as long as this kind of fire-attribute leather appears in the market, it will soon be bought by buyers who rush to hear the news.

Many salamander skins are booked in advance by regular customers when they enter the leather shop, and they can't reach the market at all.

Salamander skins are sold for as much as twenty magic crystals in the market, although the magic crystals have been depreciating recently, if converted into Grimm Empire gold coins, twenty magic crystals can currently be exchanged for about 135-150 gold coins.

Surdak agreed with Brunei, the manager of the leather shop, that every month, Surdak would sell five high-grade leathers of second-grade fire-type Warcraft to Rossi Leather Shop in the name of the Wall Trading Company in Highlandsa City, and would also sell some first-grade Warcraft skins and ordinary animal skins to Rossi Leather Shop, with a monthly transaction volume of about 100 magic crystals.

Although this transaction will not effectively alleviate the debt pressure of the Gophilo family, it will at least allow Rossi Leather Store to relieve the embarrassment it is currently facing.

Rossi Leather Store takes the high-end leather route, and there is limited demand for first-class Warcraft leather.

This time the trade of salamander skins was carried out in Gophilo Manor, Surdak directly found four salamander skins folded into squares, the blood stains on them have been condensed into tan, and the skull part of each skin is mutilated, and the Brunei manager saw Surdak take out five salamander skins in one go, and it seems that there is still stock in the magic waist bag.

It is hoped that Surdak can provide more supply of high-quality high-quality leather. Surdak proposed to the Brunei manager that the additional second-grade Warcraft leather needed to be settled in gold coins, and the Brunei manager was a little embarrassed and said that he could complete the first transaction first, and the follow-up transaction would be discussed next month.

During the whole process, Count Gophilo sat on the chair opposite him with a cold face, and even Surdak left Gophilo Manor without a better face.

Although Count Gophilo kept a straight face, this did not affect Surdak's mood.

At least he had achieved his purpose here, and now he only hoped that Beatrice's relationship with the family would not be so stiff.

It's also good to have some connections with the Gophilo family in the leather business.

Although the amount of this transaction is not large, Surdak believes that since there is an exchange of interests between the two parties, the current relationship between the two parties can be maintained.

As for whether the Rossi Leather Store will settle the payment on time at the end of each month, Surdak is not at all worried.

He only glanced at the leather supply and marketing contract provided by the Brunei manager, and then casually put it into his magic waist bag.

Bidding farewell to Count Gophilo and walking out of Gophilo Manor, the feeling of danger that had been being watched from behind slowly disappeared, standing on the side of the street, Surdak exhaled softly, and thought to himself: It seems that the Gophilo family does not like their own people, and Count Gophilo is not the only one.

A magic caravan drove out of the manor and stopped beside Surdak, and Brunei, the manager of Rossi's leather store, poked his head out of the car window and said to Surdak cordially: "Baron Surdak, can you have lunch together?" ”

"I've made an appointment with someone, and a carriage will come here to pick me up." Surdak said to Brunei, the manager of the leather shop, standing on the side of the road.

"Then the follow-up high-end leather business ......," Brunei, the manager of the leather shop, asked Surdak with a false smile.

Surdak hesitated for a moment, thinking that this matter could be left to Shande, so he said: "At the beginning of each month, someone will send the leather to your store, remember to prepare the payment for the previous month in advance, if it cannot be delivered in time, our transaction will be postponed to the next month, if it cannot be delivered for three consecutive months, our leather transaction will be interrupted by itself." ”

This kind of salamander skin is the top material for making primary magic pattern structures, and it is in short supply in the magic market, and Surdak delivered these high-grade leathers to the Rossi Leather Store for cooking and sales, which is completely to send money to the store, what kind of transaction is there, the Brunei manager also knows something, of course he can't spit out the meat in his mouth again, so he hurriedly agreed: "Okay, I will definitely prepare the payment in advance." ”

Seeing Surdak, he just nodded and didn't talk again.

The Brunei manager patted the carriage with his hand, smiled at Surdak and said, "Then goodbye, Baron Surdak!" ”

"Goodbye, Brunei Manager!"

Surdak said with a smile.

……

A magic caravan pulled up on the side of the street, Surdak boarded the caravan, and the magic caravan drove away from Gophilo Manor without stopping.

Beatrice in the carriage looked at Surdak expectantly, and Hathaway saw Surdak leaning on the soft leather sofa after getting into the car and deliberately selling it, so she leaned over and pushed his shoulder with her hand, and asked softly, "Dak, what's going on?" ”

Surdak turned to Hathaway with a triumphant smile, then stretched out his hands to Beatrice, who was sitting opposite, and said with a smile, "At least for now, it's a success!" ”

"Really?" Beatrice's eyes widened and she asked with a look of surprise.

Then he threw himself into Surdak's arms without hesitation and offered a fragrant kiss.

She pressed her hands on Surdak's shoulders, imprinted her petal-like red lips, and struggled to push Surdak away until she was about to suffocate, and retreated to the soft leather sofa opposite, her eyes becoming a little misty for a moment.

Surdak reminisced about the extreme softness, feeling like a hot flame in Beatrice, always positive and enthusiastic about life, but at the same time so desperate.

"Of course! I succeeded in convincing Count Gopphil. ”

He had wanted to go into more detail, but thinking that he might find it more embarrassing than Atrice, he just said it simply.

Hathaway cheered and exclaimed excitedly, "That's great, Dark. "It's as if she's the one who frees herself from the family's shackles.

Surdak leaned back on the sofa, touched his rumbling belly, looked out the window, and said, "We can have a little celebration at noon, are there any restaurants around here?" ”

Hathaway poked her head over, stared at Surdak and said:

"Well, my dad asked me about you in the morning, and asked me if you left Pena City...... He wants to meet you! ”

Surdak immediately sat up straight, and then asked with some surprise, "Does Marquis Luthor want to see me?" ”

Hathaway nodded, and revealed some inside information, saying, "He seems to be looking for you to ask about forming a cavalry battalion." ”

Surdak recently wanted to lift the dragon's blood curse, but also raised a dragon, and also wanted to impress Count Gopphilo, and there was no time to raise a cavalry battalion, when he saw that Marquis Luthor was so concerned about this matter, he said: "Oh, it just so happens that I also want to ask him for help!" ”

He touched his magic pocket, thinking that he currently had a large number of magic crystals and gold coins, and if he wanted to build a cavalry battalion, in addition to finding some suitable manpower, weapons, armor, and horses were indispensable.

Hathaway asked with some curiosity, "What are you looking for him?" ”

Surdak replied truthfully: "If you want to form a cavalry battalion, you still need to buy some war horses, and I want to know where you can buy some fine war horses." ”

Hathaway shrugged her shoulders, sat down next to Surdak, and said, "I don't know about this, but when we see him, you can ask him face to face!" ”

……

"There are no large pastures in Bena Province, the largest pastures in the Grimm Empire are located in the two provinces of Durva and Salta in the west of the empire, and some surrounding provinces also have pastures, but they are not as large as the pastures in these two provinces, and the high-quality war horses in our Bena Province basically come from there, but in recent years, with the frequent occurrence of plane wars, the lords of various provinces have increased their war horses day by day, and now war horses and male war slaves are difficult to buy in the market."

The Marquis of Luther sat in his study dressed in fine clothes, and gave Surdak a face-to-face lecture.

"However, it is not impossible to buy, but the price is relatively high. At present, it is not only magical herbs that are in high demand on the market, but all war-related materials are on the rise. ”

There was no one else in the room, even Lady Marianne and Hathaway were thrown out by him.

He pointed to the stables on the side of the castle courtyard wall, and said with some regret: "In the past, a high-quality war horse could be bought for only ten gold coins, but now you can't even buy a male war slave in the market, and now a batch of ordinary war horses also needs twenty gold coins. I don't know if you can afford it at the moment, but if you are short of money at the moment, you can go to my manor outside the city and take five hundred horses, of course, provided that you find enough cavalry. ”

Surdak didn't expect Marquis Luthor to be so generous, according to Marquis Luthor, a horse is worth twenty gold coins, so five hundred war horses will cost at least nearly ten thousand gold coins, which is definitely a huge amount of money for Surdak three months ago, but now it can't be a burden on Surdak.

Although the income from the sulfur mine could not afford the expenses of a cavalry battalion, he now had more than one sulfur mine in his hands, compared to this sulfur mine, the salamander group hidden in the depths of the lava mine was a large asset of Surdak, and there were also mountains of gold coins piled up in the treasure chamber, and now there were three more boxes of magic crystals.

Therefore, he planned to go through the channel of Marquis Luthor first, buy a batch of war horses, and then customize some weapons and armor, etc., to determine these things, and then return to Highlandsa City.

"Marquis Luthor, I want to buy a horse or I have to pay for it, I can afford it!" Surdak stood across from the Marquis of Luther.

Marquis Luthor didn't hear it clearly at first, but then he reacted, looked at Surdak in surprise and asked:

"Hey, is your sulfur mine under the volcano a bonanza? As luck would have it, but you should be aware that raising a private army would cost far more than five hundred horses, as well as armor, weapons, and some logistical supplies, including marching tents, rations, and other supplies, and if you weren't going to recruit new soldiers, you would also need to pay the veterans a large sum. ”

Surdak put on an expression that he could afford to pay, and continued to ask Marquis Luther, "Marquis Luthor, if I want to buy weapons and armor, where do I need to buy them?" ”

Marquis Luthor thought for a moment before he said: "If it is an ordinary armor, the number of more than five thousand will be recommended to San Carlos City, which has the largest blacksmith workshop in the Green Empire, and many of the excellent equipment of the Green Empire are made there, but if there are only five hundred, they can also be bought in Constantinople in Bena Province!" ”

"Actually, the quartermaster office in Bena City also has a large inventory, but it is slightly more expensive than the one in the blacksmith's workshop, which is the fastest way to obtain military supplies." Marquis Luthor added.

"I want to go to Constantinople." Surdak said.

"I don't care how you plan, now that your cavalry battalion number has been reviewed in the House of Representatives, you can officially change its name when you prepare for the knight battalion, and you can still do some basic training during the winter, so that you can go to the Bailin plane with me." Marquis Luthor said to Surdak.

For the first time, Surdak heard Marquis Luthor talk about the Bailin plane, so he asked, "Has the plane of the change of defense been decided?" ”

Marquis Luthor nodded and said, "If there is no accident, it will be the Bailin plane, but this is not absolute, once there is a problem in which plane, the destination of the legion change of defense will be changed at any time." ”

There was a knock at the door, and the Marquis de Luthor said casually, "Come in!" ”

Madame Marianne entered the room with two maids and some refreshments, and said to the Marquis de Luthor, "You have been talking for so long that you are not going to drink tea?" ”

Marquis Luthor laughed and said, "Don't you say that I really didn't feel thirsty, but now when I smell the fragrance of tea, I feel dry mouth......"

"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Marianne asked curiously, setting the tea table in the study with her own hands.

Marquis Luthor said, "Something about the formation of a new army......

Outside the window, a light snow fell, and some fine snow particles fell on the glass outside the window, making a series of soft noises.

A trace of worry appeared on Lady Marianne's face, she looked at the fine snow outside the window, sighed and said, "I really hope that the plane war can end soon!" ”

"How can it be so ......easy," Marquis Luthor said, standing behind Lady Marianne, "I don't need to go to the Warsaw plane this time, it's just a small plane to garrison, the task should be easy, you don't need to worry, if the situation is stable over there, I may take you and Hathaway over there and take a look at the scenery there." ”

When Lady Marianne smiled softly, those eyes were like Hathaway.

Surdak heard someone whispering to him at the door, only to find Hathaway hiding outside the door waving to him.
