1368. Before leaving

There was just another batch of wheat flour in the merchant house ready to be transported back to the White Forest Plane, and now the resident population of Dodan Town has grown to 80,000, and there are some adventure groups and merchant groups that have stayed in the town for a long time, so the amount of baked wheat cakes consumed every day is very large.

Malacombe's Thunder Rhinoceros was responsible for buying large quantities of wheat flour from Bena City, and the town government of Dodan was also required to provide financial subsidies.

Thirty Nanai children rode in a magic caravan, and they were going to the Bailin plane that day, and they had to queue up with the caravan to the portal in the back garden of the Duke's Palace, and without a pass from the military department, they would have to queue up at least half the night in the Duke's Palace.

After sending off the Nanai children, the merchant Malacom, standing at the door of the merchant's branch, asked Surdak again:

"Your Excellency, what do you think of the situation in Warsaw? I'd like to hear your speculation......"

Surdak was just about to get on his horse and leave the branch of the merchant house, and when he saw that the merchant of Malacombe was still determined to follow the merchant group, he grabbed the reins, stopped and said to Malacom: "Since I have accepted the requisition order from the military headquarters and am willing to take the lord's army to the Warsaw plane, that is to say, I have made a heavy bet on the Warsaw plane this time, and I bet that we can win this time." ”

Seeing that Surdak had such confidence, Malacomb excitedly hammered his chest with his hand and said:

"Then I will follow, I still want to be your lord's army with the military merchant group this time, all the materials that the military department can't provide, this time it will be up to our merchant group, I think this time my merchant group can't go to Ivelsen City through the temporary portal, so I have to make some preparations in advance and take a magic airship to go there."

Seeing that the merchant Malacombe was so persistent, Surdak did not stop him anymore, and only said:

"Okay, then we'll see you in Ivorson City."

"See you in Epson City, perhaps!" The merchant Malacombe stood at the door of the branch and waved his hand loudly to Surdak who was far away.

When Surdak walked away, several Bailin plane merchants who had hidden in the trading house and did not show up came out of the house.

Surdak has some prejudice against the merchants and noble lords of the White Forest plane, mainly because when he was stationed in Dodan Town, he resisted the beast tide, and the Bailin merchants have been watching coldly, and later the alliance lord army captured the Three Rivers Plain and the Dark Worm Valley, and these merchant groups came out to drink soup one after another, so that Surdak had a bad impression of the Bailin merchants.

Except, of course, the merchant Malacom, after all, if Malacomb hadn't sold a batch of Thunder Rhinos to Surdak, he would not have been able to form an armed Thunder Rhino War Group anyway, and the logistics of this war group can be said to have made many achievements in the fight against the ghost pattern red ants.

The merchant of Malacombe has been operating in the White Forest Plane for so long, so he naturally has some business friends around him.

This time, they accidentally saw Count Surdak who came to visit at the branch, so they hurriedly hid in the shop, and waited for Surdak to leave them before coming out of it.

The merchant Malacombe was a little dignified, and asked a few merchant friends in front of him:

"What do you think of this expedition to the Warsaw plane?"

One of them, a fat man dressed in a very decent satin costume, touched the cyan stubble on his chin with his hand, squinted his eyes, and said:

"I think Duke Newman's idea is very clear, if the situation of the battle on the Warsaw plane can be reversed, the Bena Legion will take the biggest piece of meat to eat this time, and if the reinforcements can't turn the tide of the war, the Bena Legion will take the opportunity to retreat from the Warsaw plane and leave this batch of reinforcements there. So whether you win or lose, you probably won't get any benefit! ”

Another old man also chimed in:

"I have to say, Duke Newman has really invested a lot of money."

Someone next to him even said to Malacombe:

"If the Bednar Legion does not withdraw from the Warsaw plane, it will not be long before the Newman family loses its absolute dominance in the province of Bednar, so even if they can sound the horn of this counteroffensive, their fighting spirit will not be so resolute......"

The merchant Malacombe lowered his head, lost in thought for a moment.

"If you want me to say, you account for most of the market in the northern region of the White Forest Plane, and you can continue to expand it, and it will not be worse than the income of the Warsaw plane!" The old man continued.

Several merchants stared at Malacombe at the same time......

Malacomb clenched his fists, slammed it on the table of the counter, and shouted: "Lao Tzu followed Count Surdak this time, you have not guessed correctly in so many years, standing on the opposite side of you will definitely make money!" ”

Is this human talk?

The merchant friends standing in front of Malacombe were so angry that they couldn't say a word.

……

There is a slight time difference between Warzmara and the city of Pena, which is three hours later in the evening than in the city of Warna.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still a little time in the afternoon, Surdak took Andrew, Samira and Gulitham to the workshop district of Bena City, where the branch of the Thunder Rhino Merchants was only seven main streets away, and Surdak and his party rode quickly to the leather workshop on the edge of the river in the workshop area.

This is the end of the river downstream of the city of Bena, from where it flows outside the city through a hole under the city walls.

Almost all of the city's heavily polluted workshops were built here, mainly a few leather workshops, magical parchment workshops, blacksmith shops and smelting workshops, etc.

Harvey. Gopphil's leather workshop is also here, at the beginning his leather workshop was mainly for the rough processing of the hard armor of the ghost red ants, after this period of slow exploration, Harvey's leather workshop has been able to make war horse armor suits, this kind of armor made of ghost red ant hard armor, the texture is lighter than the metal armor, and the defense ability is not bad, so there is no worry about selling in the armor market of Bednar City.

As soon as you enter this area, you can smell the smell of rancid solution wafting through the air.

There are several leather workshops crammed into the small area, and Surdak doesn't even need to discern them, as long as he follows the sour smell, he easily finds Harvey's leather workshop.

Through the walls of the wooden fence, Surdak saw a large number of reshaped armor parts drying in the courtyard.

Horse-drawn carriages were parked in front of the workshop, stacks of dried armor parts loaded into the wagons, and several storekeepers were counting the numbers.

Harvey was also wearing one-piece leather pants and long leather gloves on both hands, directing the workers to load the truck.

If Surdak hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that Harvey would have taken matters into his own hands, directing the workers to carry the armor parts.

When Surdak was seen standing in the workshop on horseback, Harvey. Gophilo stood for a moment with his mouth wide open and a look of surprise before trotting all the way to Surdak's side.

"Brother-in-law, why are you here!" His words were full of surprise.

"How's business?" Surdak rolled over and dismounted, patted Harvey on the shoulder, and asked.

"Very good, I have received a few batches of orders, and I can at least be busy until next spring." Harvey puffed up his chest and said confidently.

Surdak watched fade away. The youthful Harvey, with his windswept face and leather pants to prevent acid splashes, showed that he had put a lot of effort into this workshop.

Thinking of Beatrice's round smiling face, Surdak put his arm around Harvey's shoulders and said in an affirmative tone, "It's not bad, the leather workshop finally has a little shape." ”

Seeing that he was smoothed out by life, he asked, "Harvey, this kind of life ...... Still adapting? ”

Harvey. Gophilo smiled calmly: "It's not bad, although I am very tired every day, but as long as I lie in bed, I can sleep until dawn, and this kind of life is very fulfilling." ”

"What are your plans for the future?" Surdak walked around the tanning workshop and walked to the drying floor and asked Harvey.

"Now we have figured out some tricks for the leather industry, and we may make some standard heavy armor next." Harvey spoke his mind.

Surdak nodded and said, "Well, the idea is not bad. ”

With that, Surdak led Samira and Andrew out of the tanning workshop, joined the two-headed ogre waiting outside, and after saying goodbye to Harvey, he rode out of the workshop on his horse.

"Brother-in-law, take care all the way." Harvey stood at the door of the tanning workshop and shouted at Surdak in the distance.

Surdak grabbed the reins of the warhorse, turned around and walked back to Harvey, and said to him: "Don't worry, when I bring you back some demon skin, that thing has natural magic patterns on it, and when the time comes, pay attention to ask two skilled leather masters, let them study a mature production plan." ”

"Got it, I'm here waiting for your good news."

Harvey. Gophilo said with a smile.
