Lady Mariana did not expect Surdak to bring back ten carriages of ironwood at once this time.
I was a little stunned for a while, and then I realized that I was a little out of shape, and immediately said: "Then do you know the market situation of Ironwood?" ”
Surdak shook his head honestly, and then said, "I've heard that the price of Ironwood is about the same as that of Magic Black Iron. ”
"Weighing is indeed about the same, although ironwood sells for money according to weight, but it is not absolute, in addition, it depends on the quality and yield of ironwood, the most precious place of ironwood is to take out to make a hardwood bow, which is almost the ceiling in the hardwood bow, so whether this ironwood is worth it, generally speaking, it depends on whether it can be made into a bow arm, that is, if this ironwood is too short, it will grow crooked, and its price will be greatly discounted."
After Mariana finished speaking, she found a small file, filed it back and forth on the ironwood a few times, and found that there was not much crumbs, so she said: "It looks a little thinner, but it should be an old tree, and the year can be ......."
"That's pretty much the same thing I brought with me this time." Surdak said.
Mariana said to the tavern's hostess, "Give me a ruler......"
The tavern's proprietress turned around and pulled out a tape measure in the cabinet under the bar, and Lady Mariana measured it carefully on the ironwood, then nodded and said, "This one is in good condition, and if the ironwood you brought back is all of this condition, you can sell it to me, and I will give you an ideal price!" ”
Surdak didn't expect that the business between the nobles was negotiated in chats, rather than requiring him to hold the ironwood, and run one trading house after another.
"The current market price of a pound of magic black iron is forty silver coins, I can also buy your ironwood at this price, and you can send all the ironwood to Christie's firm tomorrow morning." Lady Mariana said.
Surdak just wanted to understand the market situation of Ironwood this time, but now that he had talked about it, he also said happily: "I will personally send Ironwood to the trading house tomorrow morning, and wait for your people to inspect the goods......
There was no magic contract, no complicated bargaining, and the business was negotiated directly.
In the tavern, Surdak introduced them to the situation of the White Forest Plane, told the story of what happened during the beast tide, and also told them about the pastures of the White Forest Plane.
Hearing this, Karl was a little fascinated, and couldn't help but say to Mariana: "When will we let go of what we are doing and go to the Bailin plane for a turn." ”
Naturally, Lady Mariana would not refuse a petty. With this heart, he replied with a smile, "Good! ”
"I've always lived in a mountain city, and I'm almost depressed by the overlapping mountains here......," the tavern lady also said, "Dark, you just said that your Luther Legion arrived at the White Forest Plane on the eve of the beast tide and took over from the Langdon family legion?" ”
The tavern's proprietress raised her white forehead, and her eyes were beautiful, but no amount of delicate makeup could hide the traces of time on her face, and she looked about the same age as Madame Mariana.
"yes!" Surdak replied.
The tavern lady said to Lady Mariana: "The Langdon family seems to have failed recently, all kinds of dimensional investments have ended in failure, and the Langdon Legion doesn't seem to have gained any benefits this time, and when I hear this news, I will feel a lot more comfortable." ”
Even though she said this, there was no joy on her face.
"It's been a long time ago, and what are they doing......
Lady Mariana squeezed the tavern's hostess's white face and soothed her.
Surdak then remembered that Karl had told him that Lady Mariana's ex-husband seemed to be called Kenneth. Langdon, it's just that it's been so long since he's forgotten about it completely.
……
Back at the Garden Square Inn, the succubus Aphrodite had already gone to bed early.
Surdak also wanted to discuss with Aphrodite how to put aside the dark star in his body, and he walked to the door of Aphrodite's room with a hint of alcohol, but he didn't have the courage to knock on the door after all.
Hearing the footsteps at the door gradually weakening, the succubus Aphrodite reopened her eyes, she lay down in the soft quilt, and pursed her sex. Sense's lips couldn't help but whisper: "No cowards...... 'before closing his eyes again'.
In the dream, she was the succubus with a pair of black flesh wings that could fly freely under the canopy.
……
Early the next morning, Surdak and Luke arrived at the Christie family trading house at 17 Dorenval Avenue in the city of Highlandza, and Surdak was familiar with this street, where the Junior Knight Academy of Highlandsa was located.
But he never noticed that this tall building was actually the trading house of the Christie family.
When Surdak arrived at the trading house, Madame Mariana was not there, presumably not yet out of bed, only the manager of the merchanthouse and Madame Mariana's maid received Surdak, who remembered that he had been in the magic caravan the previous night, and the maid handed him a hot towel.
The manager of the firm asked the employees of the firm to remove all the tarpaulins of the ten four-wheeled carriages and arrange them neatly in the carriages.
The firm had a special appraiser, and the price of ironwood was high, and the appraiser carefully examined almost every piece of ironwood before signing his name on the quality certificate.
During this time, Surdak was sitting in the manager's office of the comptoir.
By the time Mariana arrived at the comptoir in a magic caravan dressed in a long dress, the deal had already been completed.
The full 4,000 gold coins are converted into magic crystals, which is 570 pieces.
Originally, the manager of the trading house wanted to pay with the authentic black magic crystal, but Surdak felt that gold coins were more valuable, so he insisted on trading gold coins.
Lady Mariana finally signed the slip and the deal was completed.
Before leaving, Surdak asked Madame Mariana if there was anything else to eat here in the future. It was only then that Madame Mariana realized that Surdak had more ironwood in his hands.
"Of course!" She replied very decisively.
After selling the ironwood, Surdak did not go directly to the Magician Guild to meet with the Scholar Ferdinand, but went to the Swordsman Academy of Hylanza.
There, he handed a bottle of secondary magic potion that Justin had given him to a sweet-looking girl who seemed to have a very unusual relationship with Justin, but Surdak didn't ask much about it.
Towards noon, I had lunch with Aphrodite again.
In the afternoon, he also made a trip to the Hylantha Guard Camp to report to Captain Sauron on the status of the Badlands Security Squadron, which he had arrived at the Magic Guild before dinner.
Scholar Ferdinand's magical assistant was already waiting in the hall on the first floor of the Magic Guild, and when he saw Surdak walking in from outside, he immediately took him to Scholar Ferdinand's magic laboratory.
