Early in the morning of the 13th, the Metz Frostwolf came to Rand to report the merchant's earnings.

"Lord Lante, our sausages, cheese, leather, and salt are all very popular in Blue Magpie City and Maned Wolf City, and the goods produced by our territory are almost sold out when we reach Elk Castle, and generally we replenish our stock in Mane Wolf City and castles along the way, go to Dragon's Tooth City to sell, and then buy local goods in Dragon's Tooth City, and then sell them along the way to the territory." Mace Frostwolf is reporting back to Rand about the business.

"In other words, except for the salt of the Blue Dragon Family, as well as the black-scaled horses and iron armor pre-ordered by the Maned Wolf Family, the rest are all bought from the various knights' territories and barons' territories, right?"

"Yes, the merchant is to sell all the way, buy all the way, there is no shortage of furs or iron tools near the royal capital, but there is a great demand for magical plants" Meston paused, and brought it up again,

"In addition, the nobles of the royal capital are very interested in the beasts of burden, and ask us if we can sell them."

"We can't use it ourselves, how can we sell it in sufficient quantities?" Rand carefully looked at the two documents in his hand, which were the caravan entry and exit bills.

When they arrived in Mane Wolf City, they sold iron armor and horses, bought local specialties such as herbs, horses, yellow sheep, and plain cloth, and sold them to the royal capital along the way, they bought magic scrolls, magic rune versions, alchemy props, flower cloth, silk, potions, paper, etc., and sold some of them when they returned to Mane Wolf City, and then bought some of the specialties of Mane Wolf City, and then returned to the territory.

From the point of view of the nature of the commodity, the commodity route of the territory-earl-royal capital-imperial capital is a scissors journey of agricultural products-handmade products-high-end handicrafts-high-tech products, if it is not for the three strategic materials in the territory: salt, iron, and horses, the commodities of their own territory will be uncompetitive.

However, the purpose of a caravan like Metz is not to make a lot of money, but more to travel between the territories of small and medium-sized nobles, and open up the trade routes between the various barons and knights' territories.

In terms of making money alone, alchemy items or magical equipment are naturally the most profitable, but such commodities are not affordable by ordinary lords, and they are not even widely used by knights, knights, barons, and other minor nobles.

Even magic markets like Mane Wolf City and Dragon's Tooth City can only be regarded as small transactions, and the real big business depends on the centralized orders of the big nobles.

"My lord, I suggest that the territory should still be based on the sale of demonic armor, we now have a Ternia mentor, drawing runes is more secure, we don't have to sell full body armor every time, we can also disassemble and sell, our warehouse has a lot of scattered armor parts, the earl's restriction on you is only a complete set of iron armor, not counting these parts."

"What you say also makes sense," Rand thought about it, it is true, in the previous raid on various tribes, a large number of scattered armor and weapons were seized, many weapons were made of iron ore on the Galloping Horse Plain, and the content of magic black iron was high, if Wendy and the others were asked to draw 1 or 2 magic patterns, the goods could guarantee high profits and relatively low prices at the same time.

"But we still have to keep the business, this is just like the annual alliance of the gray goose, the real purpose is to integrate other regional specialties, you divide two from the caravan, one team is the internal caravan of the territory, the other team is the northwest earl of the caravan, you are still in charge of the caravan to the royal capital, after a while I will talk to the girls, these days to step up to make some magic weapons, you take it to the royal capital to sell" Rand thought about it again, and felt that the internal caravan should not use metal currency, but use paper money or tokens.

"Teacher Ben? Why are you here? When the girls came out of their tents, they saw Gen Ben Kaul waiting outside.

Looking at his serious face, the girls thought that Ben was going to persuade them to go to the imperial capital again: "Teacher, we have already decided, thank you for the invitation" Wendy went over to deal with it first.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, I thought about it last night, since you really don't want to go, why should I be so persistent," Ben Kaul said, taking out a booklet,

"This book "The Origin of Magic and the Elementary Theory of Magic" is a relatively new textbook of the Tower of Purity, and it is the foundation of the theory of magic, and I had the honor to participate in the compilation, and I will give it to you today."

"Thank you, teacher" The girls saluted the master and took the book.

"Wendy, you have the best foundation and the most potential of all the children, and you are also the smartest of all the children of your age, but there is a saying in the Tower of Innocence that the fastest goes is not necessarily the farthest. Exploring magic requires not only wisdom, but also perseverance. Ben Kaul was serious about his comments about Wendy.

"Ah, thank you, Mr. Ben" Wendy thanked him for some reason, not knowing why.

"Lili, I remember that you used to have me, what kind of magic is the most powerful, and at that time I replied to you, the most suitable for you" Ben looked at Lili,

"Today I want to tell you that sometimes magic is not just about releasing magic, it is also magic to understand people's hearts and fate." Lili looked at Ben and repeated the phrase silently

"Understand people's hearts and understand fate", in her eyes, the current Ben Kaul is like a deep star, and the girls around her have their own colors.

"Firefly," Ben turned his head again, looking at the apprentice from a butcher's family,

"I've never met an apprentice who is more familiar with the structure of the body than you, and even the apprentices of the Human Body Induction School and the Classical Life School may not have such basic skills as you, I know you don't like people to mention your family background, but I still want to say that it is not your burden, but your wealth."

"Thank you, Ben-sensei," for Firefly, the butcher's daughter was the biggest reason for her to be ridiculed by her noble classmates, and the last thing she wanted to mention about the past, but since coming to the territory and coming into contact with Kaiyin, the life priest of the Centaur clan, and Liel, the arbor fairy of the royal capital, she has become fascinated by life.

"Another thing, your lord has a few orc scrolls in his hand, all of which talk about the body structure of animals such as black-scaled horses and long-haired sheep, and you will definitely be interested." Ben went to Firefly's side and whispered a few words.

Ben Kaul's

The "whisper" was neither small nor loud, and the girls' tent was next to Rand's main tent, so it naturally couldn't hide from Rand's ears.

Hearing Ben Kaul comment on his female mages one by one, Rand also became interested, and simply signaled Mace Frostwolf next to him to stop reporting, and listened intently to Ben Kaul's comments.

"Jonny, you are the first girl in the entire territory to take the initiative to go to the class in that study circle, I must tell you, the knowledge in that circle is the most basic, and the explanation inside is also very old, I strongly recommend you to come to the Tower of Purity to learn" Looking at Jonny who shook his head vigorously, Ben also smiled,

"The magic boiler is the most interesting alchemy item I have seen over the years, if it can really be applied on a large scale, I think it can even be compared to the magic furnace, don't give up those ideas of yours, many of the great mages and even the greatest inventions of the legends have been conceived since they were apprentices."
