Chapter 0023: The Golden Dragon and the Wine
"Lord Gregor, we have brought a thousand golden dragons in accordance with your wishes. Alan Charlotte said.
The two family soldiers opened the box, and a box of yellow gold coins was opened.
Sweet-mouthed Raff smiled pleasantly.
Notepad licked his lips.
Dunson pressed his hand to the hilt of his sword, and Polivier's eyes widened.
Julie is normal, and Thomasman's eyes have fallen into the coin box.
Master Harry was surprised, such a large sum of money, Chariot shouldn't be.
Gregor estimated that one thousand gold dragons are equivalent to ten million yuan in the earth's civilization.
For the great nobles, a thousand gold coins is not much.
But it also exceeds the average ransom amount.
Generally speaking, a hostage ransom like this, three hundred gold coins to five hundred gold coins is a more appropriate price.
The other party, even after losing Alvar Saliot's life, was willing to pay 1,000 gold coins in exchange for Yadu Saliot, which Gregor found unusual.
Although he was not a business master in his previous life, he also had experience in buying vegetables in the vegetable market, and bargaining was the minimum buying and selling rule. A thousand gold coins was just his shout, and he waited for the other party to stop and slash and then propose a deal.
But the other party did not make a counteroffer, and Grego's bid became the transaction price.
Obviously, there is no such business.
No matter how rich the Chariot family is, they will not do this business.
Especially when there is a blood feud between the two sides after losing a person's life.
Gregor felt that something was unusual.
He was fully armed and wore a huge flat-topped helmet, the iron fist in the center of the helmet pointing straight to the sky. It's imposing, but it's not practical. Gregor decided to wait until this incident to remove the iron fist from his helmet.
It is a little bit to be able to reduce a little weight.
Every bit of weight is a burden.
To protect against arrows, Gregor's mask was just as thick, leaving only a small hole for breathing and a narrow slit in front of his eyes.
The iron-smelting process in this world is very mature, and the ore smelting technology of various gold, silver, copper and iron is very exquisite. The handmade techniques of decoration, armor, and coins made of various metals are more sophisticated than those found in the earth's civilization. The glass process is also very mature, and it can be made into many beautiful glass jewelry. With these proven metal crafts, Gregor has the hope of making something he wants on this basis.
*
Grego's face was sad and joyless, since the other party was willing to give a thousand gold dragons to give in and not bargain, then, the other party was likely to have a revenge mentality. For the person who is going to be killed, the meaning of giving him a golden dragon and a thousand golden dragons is the same, so why bother with extraneous branches.
Gregor is fully armed and carries a giant sword, so he is naturally guarding against the other party's sudden move.
He looked at the doorway.
The cavalry brought by Alan Chariot was outside the gate, and Gregor did not allow them to enter the courtyard. Standing beside Allen, there were only two guards carrying boxes.
"My lord, a thousand golden dragons, do you want to count?" asked Alan Chariot.
Points?
Gregor remembered the image of biting gold. In many TV movies he had watched in his previous life, there were pictures of teeth biting gold to test the authenticity of gold, but if the other party smeared poison on the gold......
You can have the heart of harming others, and you must have the heart of preventing others.
"No more points. "Dunson, Thomas Mann, carry the gold crate in." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
A thousand gold dragons, about 100 catties.
Dunson and Thomas Man carried the gold box into Greggo's bedroom and locked the door.
All of a sudden, they became very rich.
A thousand gold coins, haha, hahaha!
Raffard went to Lannisport to create a family crest without taking credit, he could create a family crest in pure gold.
Tonight, Miss Reese in the upscale brothel of Lannisport will welcome their regulars!
With money, drinking, eating, and going to brothels were the three hobbies of Gregor and his men.
"My lord, you have already received the golden dragon, can you take Sir Adu...... Returned to us. Alan smiled humbly.
Gregor nodded.
His eyes looked calmly and cautiously at Alan in the narrow slit of the mask.
If the other party made any moves, it must be after releasing Ado Chariot.
Adhoo Chariot is not an ordinary man, he is the eldest son of Count Tiger Chariot and the heir of the Chariot family.
Of course, with these people on the other side and more than thirty swords outside the courtyard, they are not Gregor Gregor's opponents, but they can't be sure that the other party's men and horses are in the woods of the Silver Mountain Range not far away.
Gregor was several times more cautious than his predecessor.
If Gregor had disdained to wear armor at all, in his own fort of Clegane, with the greatsword in his hand, he would not be afraid of anyone, let alone injury.
But the crossing junior man thinks differently, what if the other party uses an arrow and smears poison on the arrow?
In his previous life, he remembered the episode of Gregor being tortured by the venom of a viper in Game of Thrones.
It's always good to be careful, a little more careful.
This world is about intrigue and betrayal, darkness and blood. He preferred to believe in criminals than in aristocrats.
Addo Charlotte's rope was cut by Julie, and Addo thanked Julie and strode over to Allen. He just wanted to leave as quickly as possible and not stop for a moment.
He was very angry in his heart, the brothers in the family were too rash, why should he exchange a thousand gold dragons for him, five hundred gold dragons would do!
Without looking back, Addo Chariot walked out of the courtyard and got on his horse. Gregor was also silent.
From the moment the hostages left, Charlotte could openly declare war on Gregor. It's just that they have to weigh what the price will be. Annoyed by Gregor, he will set fire to the Silver Hall and kill all of Saliot's men.
Alan Chariot thanked Gregor and shouted, "Bring in the wine from Qingting Island." ”
The wine of Qingting Island is the famous wine in this world, and in the eyes of Grego, it is the Rolls-Royce of wine.
Sweet-mouthed Raff laughed, "Tyron, why didn't the wine come in with the gold coins to honor our Lord Gregor?"
Alan laughed, "Raff, in case Lord Gregor accepts the money and refuses to return it to Sir Addo, the wine we gave to Lord Gregor will be brought back. ”
"Now that we have received the money and the people have returned it to you, you are willing to bring in the wine and give it to us?"
"Yes!"
Several altars of wine from Qingting Island were brought in.
Qingteongjima sake is served in wooden barrels with large round bellies. The barrel has a blue bottom and is painted with a hanging of dark purple grapes. The dark purple grape on the blue background is the family crest of the Redwin family on Qingting Island, and it is also the symbol of authentic Qingting Island wine, which is equivalent to the commodity trademark in the earth's civilization.
Everyone, including Gregor, moved their throats.
The world's best wines: the wines of Qingting Island, are exported to the free trade city-states on the other side of the Narrow Sea and the more distant cities of the East.
As soon as the barrel was lowered, Sweetmouth Raff, the executioner Dunson, the notepad, Mark and Polivier immediately gathered around.
The wine is more attractive than the thousand golden dragons just now.
"These two jars are red wines, and these two jars are even rarer golden wines, which are a little bit of the heart of the Chariot family. Alan patted the wine jar and said.
The eyes of Sweetmouth Raff and the others all popped out.
Maester Harry's lips squirmed, too.
Everyone has drunk Qingting Island red wine, but they have basically never drunk golden wine. Golden wine is very rare, not only because of the high price and low production, but also because it can only be purchased by the status of a great nobleman.
Maester Harry, Polivier and the others had heard of golden wine for a long time, but they rarely had the opportunity to drink such a famous wine.
Gregor's gang are all heroes in the brothel, and heroes in the wine.
Polivier licked his lips, looked at Mistress Gregor, and stammered, "...... My lord...... We ......"
"Lift it in and take the cup. Gregor said.
