52 Departed

Walking along the stone path by the Mead River with Cobain, Samwell was in a good mood.

After all, the level of this personal consultant who had just been accepted was definitely top-notch, but his moral sense was a little indifferent, so he was expelled from the school city.

But if it weren't for this, I'm afraid it wouldn't be Samwell's turn to pick up the leak.

Look at him in the future, just don't let him mess with live experiments again.

"Master Coben, this is the silver mining and smelting book that Master Moroya gave me, you can take a look."

Faced with the books handed by Samwell, Cobain did not pick them up, but said quite proudly:

"My lord, I once had three links made of white steel on my necklace. How to mine and refine silver, I have long been clear. ”

Samwell knew that the "necklace" in Cobain's mouth was also called the bachelor's necklace, which was made up of chain links made of metal knots, each metal represented that the bachelor's attainments in a certain field had been recognized by the school, and the more the same metal, the deeper the field attainments represented.

White steel, on the other hand, represents metallurgy.

Samwell was in a good mood, put away the book that was giving him a headache, and asked with a smile:

"And what kind of metal is the most numerous, chain link on your ever necklace?"

"Silver."

Silver represents medicine.

But then, Cobain sighed and said:

"Actually, I should have had more Valyrian steel links, but no one in the school city can confirm my achievements in the occult these days."

Valyrian steel represents the master's attainment in the occult.

Samwell's heart moved when he heard this:

"Is it because the magic is gone?"

"Magic never goes away." Cobain shook his head, then smug a smile on his face again, and said, "Your Excellency, you know what. All people, on the eve of being sworn in as a bachelor, must keep vigil in a closed room. There is no light source inside, just a glass candle. So, unless you can light a glass candle, you'll have to spend a long night in the dark.

For hundreds of years, this glass candle has never been lit.

Except for me. ”

Samwell raised his eyebrows: "You've ever lit a glass candle?" ”

"Yes, though only for a fleeting moment." A sarcastic smile appeared on Coben's lips again, "However, the 'grey sheep' never admit it, they say I just have visual hallucinations. ”

Samwell couldn't help but laugh out loud to hear Cobain refer to the other bachelors as "grey sheep."

However, he had no doubts about the man's self-aggrandizement.

After all, this is a guy who can create "Bio Knights", and he must know magic.

It's just that it's at a low ebb in magic right now, and magic is no different from tricks. It wasn't until the Red Comet descended and the magic tide became stronger that the world became strange. Dragons can be hatched, ghosts can reappear, and even the dead can be resurrected......

While chatting, the two unconsciously walked to the bottom of the towering tower.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side, startling Samwell.

As soon as he assumed a defensive posture, he heard the man shout:

"Sam, I've found you!"

Samwell saw the other party's appearance clearly, and found that it was the eldest son of the Redwin family on Qingting Island-Horace Redwin.

"Horace, are you in such a hurry to find me, what's the matter?"

Horace ran to Samwell out of breath, his freckled square face covered with fine beads of sweat, and his orange hair was all drenched, and he looked rather embarrassed.

"I'm ......," Horace had just spoken, but he closed it immediately, only to see him take a few deep breaths and straighten his collar, as if trying to save his decent image, "Oh, that's right, Sir Caesar." Didn't you just miss my father last time you came to Qingting Island, and in order to apologize, my father specially sent me to pick you up. ”

"Thank you Redwin for your kindness." Samwell smiled slightly, "But I don't plan to go to Qingting Island again." ”

"Huh?" Horacen froze.

"I'm sorry, Horace, for letting you run for nothing."

"Yes...... But aren't you going to talk to your father about the sale of new wine? And the matter of supplies......"

"Oh, no. The Hightowers have agreed to help me sell new wines, and the Tyrells will be involved. ”

"What!" Horace was struck by lightning, and his whole person was stupid.

Seeing that Samwell was leaving, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it, and unconsciously brought a hint of pleading in his tone:

"Mountain...... Sir Caesar, the Redwyn family genuinely wants to work with you. When it comes to selling wine, there really isn't anything like our family in Westeros! Believe me, only the caravans of Qingting Island know how to sell your wine for the highest price! How to make your wine famous in the shortest time!

And we also have caravans to the continent of Essos, which can sell your wine to the other side of the Narrow Sea! ”

Samwell then stopped and said:

"Okay, since Earl Packer is so gracious, then I'll go to Qingting Island again."

"Great!" Horace smiled happily and then said eagerly, "When are we leaving?" Afternoon? My boat is ready to go at any time! ”

"Tomorrow, I still have some things to take care of."

"Okay! Tomorrow morning, we'll go! ”

It was only after receiving the letter that Horace finally relaxed.

However, his attitude towards Samwell remained enthusiastic, and he constantly bragged to Samwell about how large the caravan was on Qingting Island and how much wine sales were best in Westeros......

Back at the Tower, Samwell first went to Baylor Hightower and told them that he had met Moroya and had obtained the silver mining method.

Of course, he didn't mention that he had recruited a bachelor who had just been expelled from the school, so as not to cause trouble.

Subsequently, the two finalized some specific details of the brandy consignment and material supply.

In both cases, Samwell clearly sensed the goodwill of the Hightower family.

At the beginning, the supply price of brandy he quoted was ten silver deer per gallon, which actually had a lot of profit margin, and it was reserved for the Hightower family to bargain, but he didn't expect Baylor to accept the supply price directly.

In terms of the supply of food and other daily necessities, Baylor also gave very favorable prices.

Samwell, who has always called himself a profiteer, is a little embarrassed.

Baylor seemed to see Samwell's thoughts, and smiled:

"Sir Caesar, don't forget the language of Hightower. For a knight like you, we're here to help you light the way. ”

Samwell was in a good mood and sincerely sighed:

"Hightower is such a great family! Thank you for your generosity, and if you need me in the future, please feel free to ask. ”

After signing the contract with the Hightowers, Samwell went to the Tyrells without stopping.

In the absence of the Duke of Metz, Samwell only discussed with the Duchess and Mademoiselle Margaery some details of the brandy consignment, and drew up a deed to be brought back to the High Court to be signed by the Duke of Metz.

As for the retrieval of the exiles, Samwell did not mention it, believing that Margaery would get Duke Mace's consent when she returned.

With all that done, Samwell's mission to Old Town was a success.

Although he was a little hasty, he didn't have the heart to stay here for a long time at this time.

It's been more than half a month since he left Eagle's Beak Island, and he just wants to go back early to see how the construction of his castle is progressing.

So, early the next morning, Samwell left the Old Town on the Redwin family's merchant ship, after bidding farewell to the Earl of Layton.
