319. Centennial house, centennial account
How big is the palace where the Galloping Horse Kingdom once lived? When Rand came in, he thought he was back at the Blue Dragon School.
The palace is not far from the Longtai Mountain Palace, and it is said that it was also used as the residence of the Red Dragon family, and there are 7 or 8 large buildings on the ground, the highest building is not less than 100 meters, in addition to at least 5 gardens, 8 pools and 3 woods.
Because the station itself is in the mountains, it is surrounded by mountains and forests, snow-capped mountains in the distance, and a small lake in the mountains and forests attached to the palace.
The main building has 16 floors above ground, and the interior decoration is completely in the luxurious style of the Padmira Palace, the basement is connected to the mountain, at least 4 floors, and Rand even saw the portal room when he visited.
The palace building of this magnitude had been cleaned before Antrechi brought Rand here, and all the furniture and magic pattern panels in it had been refurbished.
"My lord, when the galloping horse died for the first time a thousand years ago, for a period of time this was the residence of the galloping horse royal family" Antrechi directly led Rand to the largest bedroom in the main building of the station,
"When you see the furniture here, it is all hundreds of years old, of course, all the bedding and supplies are newly replaced in the recent past, I believe you must feel at home when you live here."
"That's wonderful," Rand could only smile politely, masking the fact that he was still sleeping in a tent in the cellar.
As the palace of the galloping horse royal family for thousands of years, the entire complex has a very complete function, the magic plantation, the stable for the exclusive monster mount, the magic tower for the Magister to experiment, the training room for high-level knights, as well as the theater, training hall and small library, and Rand even saw dozens of magical academic journals and essay collections in the library in 996.
"These proceedings are updated every year, and all the expenses come from the daily projects of the Bullsma Foundation." Antrechi took out a magazine called "Microscopic Magic Anthology" and introduced,
"Such a comprehensive subscription of periodicals can only be afforded by a few major royal families and a few magic schools in the royal capital, and many magic towers of mages can only order a few more commonly used periodicals."
"In addition, my lord, there is a batch of fine wine from the Galloping Horse Kingdom in the cellar of the station, which has never been touched in the past few hundred years" The entire kingdom is so polite to Rand, naturally because there is a loan of more than 6 million gold coins from the Dragon Kingdom in the Rand Finance Hall, and now it is also the ballast stone of the Dragon Finance Hall, this money is not part of the principal of the Galloping Horse Fund, and theoretically, Rand as the Archon of Night Qi City, can already withdraw money from the Dragon Tooth City Consulate.
However, in the morning, Antrechi had already vaguely revealed that this ballast stone has an immeasurable effect on the finances of today's kingdom, and the cost and price that it needs to pay if you really want to get the rand are forced to lead the army to Longtai Mountain.
Rand also knew that it was naturally impossible to snatch food from the dragon's mouth, so he could only continue to ask for policies and subsidies from the kingdom in the future to compensate, after all, His Majesty the King had already expressed that he would return the palace belonging to the Galloping Horse family to Rand Galloping Horse.
Of course, Rand can't stay in the palace today, and the magic master sent by His Majesty the King himself has to test the various magic circles in the palace, and Antrechi took Rand to several properties in the Galloping Horse Kingdom, including warehouses and shops.
Antrechi did not make an appointment with Rand today, but sent him to the White Owl's residence, where Li Qi Honglong hosted Rand alone.
This morning, the division of labor among the Red Dragon nobles is very clear, and Antrechi, on behalf of McLaren and the Blue Dragon Family, first proposed various matters to Rand, including funds and real estate in Night Qicheng, to test Rand's tone, and after obtaining a satisfactory answer, Antrechi will go back to report to the Blue Dragon Family.
And Li Qi, as the representative of the great nobles of the Dragon King, reached some kind of more efficient agreement with Rand.
"Viscount Rand, every nobleman in the Dragon Kingdom does not deny the Galloping Horse Family, or your ownership of the Galloping Horse Fund, but you also know that such a huge amount of funds that have been stored in the Treasury Departments of various countries for hundreds of years, if there is a mistake," At lunch, Li Qi first talked about the Galloping Horse Fund, and he gestured with his hands to make a finished gesture
"I'm afraid we didn't even have to take it."
"Of course, the duke" may be some kind of illusion, Rand feels that it is very smooth to talk about official business with Li Qi, everyone thinks about the same, and many words are clear but not too thorough,
"However, I hope that this fund will be able to invest in my magic workshop, and use this year's interest to subsidize some of the defense expenses of Night Kirk City, after all, we are about to face the threat of orcs."
"That's nature" Li Qi and Rand ate for only half an hour, and all the set goals were achieved, although there were concessions in some places, such as the status of the Galloping Horse Plain and the taxes of Roth's territory, but these were small compared to the ballast stones in the vault.
With a good start to the morning, Rand had a great time in Dragon's Tooth City in the afternoon, and accompanied by Dugan, he visited several earls and marquises, and sent them some galloping horses as souvenirs.
As the evening approached, Rand suddenly wanted to see the magic goblin shop in Dragon's Tooth City, so under the leadership of Dugan, he went to the largest magic goblin shop in the city.
This shop is located at the foot of Longtai Mountain, not far from the Galloping Horse Palace, and the front desk of this store is a magic scroll shop, specializing in selling all kinds of magic pattern plates, magic scrolls, and even some magic pattern equipment are also sold, until I saw the viscount badge on Rand's body, the store invited Rand and Dugan to come to the backyard, in a special building, Rand actually saw several kinds of magic goblins, grass, earth, fire, poison, wood, wind, water, Rand was stunned by so many magic goblins.
Magical goblins are sealed inside eggshells and neatly arranged. Rand felt that these goblins were seducing him.
"My lord, that's why you have to check your identity, these magic goblins are all entrusted by nobles from all over the world to sell here, each of them starts at 1000 gold coins, which one do you like, I will give you a quote." At this moment, Rand wanted to wrap up the circle directly, but reason told him that he would stay here for a few days in the future, and he would buy Yu Zhangyang all at once.
"Your Excellency?" The shopkeeper could see that Rand was really interested in the magic goblins,
"As far as I know, there's also a shop selling magic goblins outside the city, right on the black market, so if you're interested, it's cheaper there."
"Black market?" Rand was a little unsure.
"Yes, some of them were sold quietly by the little lord who didn't want the feudal lord to know, and some were snatched by the big lord," the shopkeeper whispered,
"I've only heard that it's only available a few days a week, so if you really want to buy it, you can check it out."
