Prelude to war
"Are you satisfied? The potion and the magic book are a total of 3,000 gold coins, because you are a noble nobleman and a regular customer who has taken care of my business many times, this is a good price for you. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Spellbooks that record space magic are very rare, and because they are very rare, they are of course very valuable. Compared with the scarce space magic books, the value of the potion that makes Kaye's heart flutter is much lower, after all, the potion is gone, and the magic book can be watched and studied repeatedly.
Although 3,000 gold coins are very expensive, the space magic book and the potion whose effect can be compared to that of high-grade holy water are worth buying.
Kaye took out six rubies from the spatial ring he was wearing on his left index finger and handed them to Lorraine.
"I don't have that many gold coins, these six rubies are definitely worth three thousand gold coins. β
"Thank you for your patronage. β
The smile on Lorraine's face was even more, from the time he took out the potion and the magic book, Lorraine knew that Kaye would definitely buy it, knowing that what he was selling was a magic book that recorded space magic, and a potion that worked very well, which was a rare commodity.
Although Kaye is good at dark magic, he is also somewhat interested in space magic, and if he learns it, he will undoubtedly be able to increase his strength.
The six rubies paid to Lorraine as gold coins, each worth five hundred gold coins, and after Kaye and Helen were married to King Honel, Helen's father not only gave Helen a rich dowry, but also gave his son-in-law Kaye a large box of rubies, and the rubies paid to Lorraine were only a small part of a large box of rubies.
If Kaye had sold the rubies that Helen's father had given him, it would be enough to buy a castle and a manor. Kaye didn't have a lot of gold on hand, but he had plenty of rubies.
Before leaving Lorraine's booth, Lorraine said with a smile on his face that if he had time, he could come to his booth more often, and his booth would have new goods from time to time.
"What a greedy merchant, three thousand gold coins can buy a mansion. β
After leaving Lorraine's booth for some distance, Sophia couldn't help but complain about Lorraine's greed, if calculated according to the salary of the knight nobles, it would be six years' salary.
"It's a little more expensive, but this is a rare magic book, where are we going. β
Pointing to the two-story building with wooden signs of gems and rings hanging not far ahead, I knew that it was a jewelry store from the wooden sign hanging in front of the door.
The owner of the jewelry store was an obese middle-aged man with a well-trimmed beard and loose clothing.
The middle-aged man's name was Barari, and until a few years ago, Jelina would bring Kaye to the jewelry store from time to time, and then buy a gemstone or ring that she liked.
Barari saw Kaye and Sophia walk into the shop, and with a merchant smile on his face, he rubbed his hands together and walked up to Kaye.
"Dear Lord Kaye, welcome. β
There are several containers in the store, and each container contains gemstones, rings, ......
Kaye watched carefully in front of the container, looked at it for a while, and then went to another container to watch, and the unique intuition of the Barari merchant saw that Kaye had the idea of buying it seriously, and then very enthusiastically told Kaye how good and affordable the goods in his store were.
It's not the first time Balari has done this to brag about the goods in his shop, and when he used to brag about the goods in his shop, the black-haired witch would always buy one or two with a smile, and Kaye, who obviously had the idea of buying, still came with a woman, and wanted to buy it for the woman she brought.
I was looking at a ring in the container, which was a ring set with rubies, and it was a very beautiful ring if you just looked at it.
Before Kaye could speak, Barari was very enthusiastic about taking the ring out of the container.
"You really have an eye, this style of ring is liked by many delicate noble ladies in the royal capital. β
The ring was placed in a beautiful wooden box, and after taking the wooden box handed to him by Balari, Kaye placed the wooden box on the container, took out the ring and turned around and took Sophia's right hand, and in Sophia's surprised gaze, Kaye put the ring on Sophia's ring finger.
"Well, this, this is ......"
A charming flush appeared on the blonde girl's fair face, and she waved her hand incoherently.
"It's a good fit. β
The ring on the ring finger of the girl's right hand is just the right size.
The ring was removed from the ring finger of Sophia's right hand in a trance, and Sophia came back to her senses because the ring was removed by Kaye.
"I'll pay you a deposit for the Barari ring first, how many gold coins?"
"Twenty gold coins for a deposit. β
Rings are no more valuable than valuable weapons, magic books or magic wands and potions, and the ruby inlaid with the ring that Kaye is looking at is also very small, even if you buy it, it will not be very expensive, and the deposit of twenty gold coins is reasonable.
"It's a deposit for you, and I'll get it later. β
He took out twenty gold coins from his trouser pocket and handed them to Barari, who took the gold coins, and the smile on Balari's face grew.
A few minutes after leaving the store, Kaye stopped.
"The ring suits you very well, but it's a special time, let's get married after defeating the Empire, I'm sorry to give you an answer now and keep you waiting so long. β
On the plain outside the city of Fermilan, the king of Alcxiu, the soldiers of the nobles and the demons of Jacksa, who were originally densely packed, have all put away their tents.
The aristocratic army, the demons of Jacksa, stood on the plain. In the main formation, composed of guards guarding the royal capital, the beautiful half-elf princess Irita rode a tall and sturdy horse, her eyes fixed on the front as far as her eyes could see.
Next to Irita stood Secretary of State Gavin, and Kaye stood a little further away.
Kaye is surrounded by the cat man Gulan, the beautiful black-haired witch Jelina, his friend Albert "Juggernaut of Swords", and his beautiful red-haired wives Helen and Sophia.
Sarah is the patriarch of the demon clan, and she is in the clan.
A day ago, Helen was still attending a tea party held by the nobles' main room, and Kaye and Sophia went shopping together, but it was only a day's time, and after lunch today, the scouts came to report that the great nobles in the noble army, Dio, Doci and Western Odorca, the pontoons of the Imperial Verdoria were approaching the royal capital.
After receiving the news from the scouts, the three frightened nobles entered the city to report to King Ferran in the palace, and at the same time left the palace and quickly organized their soldiers to prepare to meet the imperial army that came to meet them.
Originally, Kaye was going to meet Sarah outside the city, but after receiving a message from the knight who came to him from the palace, Kaye immediately took action.
Because he had permission from King Ferran to call his friends for help, Kaye didn't hesitate to go to the tavern "Charming Goblin" to call Albert, but was stopped by Sophia before going out. Unlike usual, Sophia, who had a slightly tough attitude, said that she could also help, and Helen, who was originally hesitant to speak, also said that she could also help after Sophia spoke.
It was going to be refused, but after thinking about it for a few seconds, Kaye asked, "Are you really going?"
The answer is yes.
I went out with mixed feelings, and of course Kaye was followed by his friend Gulan. Calling Albert was quite smooth, because there was communication beforehand, so he agreed without hesitation just by opening his mouth. When leaving the tavern, he met Jelina, and they just said a few words and went out of the city together.
In this formation, Kaye's gaze looked at the sky in front of him, and everywhere he could see, there were three huge ships floating in the air, and he could feel the oppression brought by the giant ship just by looking at it from a distance.
"Three?"
Kaye wiped the cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and if there was nothing wrong with the information he knew about the Empire's floatships, each of which could carry 30,000 soldiers. The empire dispatched three floats to Alcreeu, so the troops dispatched were at least 90,000? No, if you count the troops attacking the border at the same time, then is it at least 90,000 troops?
Alcreeu plus the support of his allies is only 45,000 troops, which is really not laughable in the face of at least 90,000 or more troops dispatched by the Empire.
The empire is attacking the two countries at the same time, and the main army of the empire should also be in the invading power of Xiuner, but in the face of the Alcxiu Empire, which is not a big country, has dispatched so many troops, it really looks up to Alcretius.
No, no, the Empire dispatched so many troops in order to quickly defeat Alcxiu, and then flank Honel. After all, if Alcreeu was not captured, he let the floating ship cross Alcrean and attack Cerner, and he was also worried about being attacked by Alcrean from behind.
Things have become quite tricky, although it is impossible to face the empire easily, but the number of troops dispatched by the empire is still far beyond their expectations. I hope there aren't a lot of strong people on the floating ships, and if the empire sends too many strong people, it really won't be able to laugh.
