556 bronze cartridges
No sooner had Onessa returned to the Riverdale Consulate than she was greeted by someone.
A middle-aged man in his forties, half-bald hair, shrewd and rigorous, dressed as a businessman.
"Marquis of Walledon's commercial representative, Mr. Sean," said the clerk at the reception, introducing both sides, "Archon of the River Valley, Miss Onesa. ”
Sean nodded slightly and bowed to her. It can be seen from this that he was not a knight and did not have any knighthood.
On the first floor of the Consulate, there are several private rooms dedicated to such meetings. The two of them, together with their subordinates, sat opposite each other on either side of the table, and their own maids served tea.
"A month ago, Count Allegri provided us with a list of purchases, all of which were magic crystals or rare magic ores," Sean said straight to the point, "After this period of exploration, the types of goods we produce are about ninety-two percent of them...... This is a list of rare minerals that we can provide, as well as the stocks of various types of magic crystals. ”
With the decline of magical civilization, the magic crystal, which was originally in demand, has become uncared for. The old Magic Crystal mines gradually closed down, and no one developed new ore veins, and most of the Magic Crystals circulating in the market today are by-products of mining other minerals. As Snowton's mining giants, the Walledon family controls the largest number of mines in the empire.
In this regard, Allegri was definitely a wise choice to ask the Marquis of Walledon to buy magic crystals and magic ores. Only the Voleden family, who had mastered a large number of mines, could meet the huge consumption of the Herseus Valley.
Of course, with this business, the Marquis of Walledon can also make a lot of money. In a country like Snowton, this kind of product doesn't sell well. In particular, some magic ores with a crunchy texture are not even as good as pig iron, and soon. It can only be treated as slag.
Therefore, both sides are very positive about this cooperation. In less than a month, Walleden had an inventory of mines scattered across the country, and then immediately sent Sean to start business negotiations.
Onisha took the list. Give it to the subordinate next to you for inspection. It was a stocky old man, about fifty years old, with a dark complexion. A miner, he was a well-informed mineralogist who went into exile in the Herseus Valley because of the war. In the last official election, he relied on his experience to stand out and become the captain of the mineral exploration team.
After getting the list, he immediately buried his head in the inventory, half an hour later. Fang Cai raised his head, stretched out his thumb and exclaimed, "You can come up with minerals of such good quality, you are worthy of being the mining giant of the empire." ”
"Where, where," Sean had been gossiping with Onisha all this time, and shook his head busily. He said with a sincere expression, "I won't hide it from you." The sales channels of these rare minerals are not stable, except for a small amount drawn by the court magicians every year, whether the others can be sold or not depends on luck......"
In some business negotiations, honesty is the most powerful weapon. Since the general direction has already been determined. The next negotiation between the two sides also went quite smoothly.
Before coming, the Marquis of Walledon had told Sean that he could make some concessions to leave some affection. So the final price. It is about 30% cheaper than the scattered purchase of the river valley. As for more specific matters, such as the collection of money, the transportation of goods, etc., the subordinates of both parties shall discuss and determine. Onisha's work is over.
The sun was setting in the west, and the girl took her leave and walked towards her office.
2nd floor, 3rd floor...... In front of the familiar wooden door, Onessa hesitated for a second.
Then, he pushed the door open.

In the camp of the Southern Expeditionary Army, there are three large tents, which are particularly eye-catching.
The royal tent in the center is tall and spacious, with a beautiful spruce wood as a support, and the top is decorated with fur, painted with gold and color, and is extraordinarily luxurious. In the middle of the left barracks is the magic tent of Villanoo. Unknown black cloth, embroidered with silver patterns, seemed to flow through the sunlight with arcane brilliance.
The barracks on the right is led by the legendary warrior Cattroman. At the same time, it is also the place where the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army is located. When Davide and he walked into the tent, several staff officers were scribbling corrections on the military map to fit the current shape of the war.
"Sit down. Cartroman walked to the corner of the tent and pulled down the curtain to separate the space.
"Yes, Marshal. Davide sat down respectfully, looking very obedient.
"You don't have to think about it," said Cartroman, plying his nails with a sharp knife in his hand, flipping his palm, "I came to you for one thing." ”
"Ka Shuai, please advise. Davide made a gesture of deafness.
"After capturing the city of Severa, the first stage of the southern expedition will be successfully completed," Cattroman looked at him and said indifferently, "I don't care about the rest, but when it comes to the merits, the first merit of the southern expedition must be obtained by the military." ”
"This ...... I don't think so. Davide scratched his head.
"I know you don't count, but you can fight, you can grab," Cattroman flicked his fingers, and the knife spun slightly, "As a dragon knight, you have a unique advantage. ”
"I see, Kashuai, I'll try. Davide immediately said.
"I'll give you some support if necessary," Carter Roman continued, "but if your competitor is also a military general, then I won't interfere." ”
Davide sat there, his heart swelling. His confidence also rose rapidly.
"Good job," said Cartroman, who stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged, "As far as I know, the king has been very generous this time......
Meanwhile, in Villanoo's tent, the old magician was sitting upright on a wooden mat, his eyes closed.
The students who usually serve him are not in the tent at this time. In other words, within dozens of steps around the tent, there are no living people.
There is only one, I don't know if it counts as a human thing.
"Why did you choose Davide?" asked Villanou suddenly. However, there was no one in front of him, except for a bronze ink cartridge on the desk.
A commonly used mage tool, the ink cartridge is a container used to hold magic ink. However, this one is more chic and has been made in the shape of a bird. It was rusty, and it was clearly an antiquity that was old.
From the bird's beak, a stream of viscous ink erupted, twisting and changing, and finally formed a line of text in mid-air, "Easy to use." ”
"Whatever you want," Biranoo snorted, opening his eyes, "but when it's done, don't forget your promise, or I'll pass that contract and add an unending curse." ”
"Of course. When the ink answered, it was as if it had lost its strength, and it fell down one after another, staining the paper with dripping ink.
