"What, don't pay a penny, give it all away?" Even a duke butler like Blow couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Nalant's words.
The main reason is that this wine is now too popular in the capital of Knock.
The wine originally purchased from the Storm Territory only cost three gold coins per pot, and the initial price after arriving at the Royal Capital of Nok was almost six gold coins per pot.
This price is not cheap among ordinary fine wines, but this is just the starting price.
As the delicacy of the wine was accepted by the nobles, and less and less ordinary wine was brought back by the Marquis of Naum, the price began to skyrocket.
First, it increased from six gold coins per pot to ten gold coins per pot, then to fifteen gold coins per pot, and then to twenty gold coins per pot.
Even so, these twenty gold coins for a bottle of wine are still priceless.
Of course, if you are more willing to give up, you can also go to Knock's No. 1 Restaurant, where a bottle of wine costs fifty gold coins.
Don't think it's expensive, it's the only way to taste wine in a short time.
Otherwise, we can only continue to wait until the next batch of caravans go to the Storm Territory and return with purchases.
If nothing else happens, this time will be one or two months.
And as a noble, who can wait so long just to save a few gold coins?
After all, if you go out to a banquet and everyone talks about how delicious the wine is, but you haven’t tasted it by then, you may be outshone immediately.
In this way, these twenty gold coins per pot are absolutely stable and real during this period of time and are not inflated.
There are ninety barrels of ordinary wine that Nalant brought this time.
One barrel is equivalent to twenty jugs of wine, which is one thousand eight hundred jugs.
Eighteen hundred pots, that's equivalent to thirty-six thousand gold coins.
In addition, there are ten barrels of potion wine.
Although the potion wine was all collected by the royal family and did not spread to the hands of the nobles, there was no official price.
But according to other types of wine, potion wine generally sells for ten times the price of ordinary wine.
Therefore, according to this conversion, a pot of potion wine can be sold for at least 200 gold coins.
Those two hundred pots of potion wine are almost equivalent to 20,000 gold coins.
Of course, this is still a conservative estimate, because the magic grapes have been collected by the royal family, and even the nobles rarely own them, so the price is expected to be high.
In this way, Nalant's gift would be 50,000 to 60,000 gold coins.
Even the great nobles may not be so generous, let alone the country bumpkins from the Glory Continent in the eyes of the nobles of the Holy Continent.
"Your Excellency Nalant, are you sure?"
"Steward Bloor, I'm sure that although the current production of wine is not too much, I have heard of Duke Miller's reputation for a long time, so I will take this opportunity to give the wine to Duke Miller for his birthday party. !” Nalant nodded affirmatively.
Bulow was also deep in thought at this time. Looking at Nalant's smiling face, he must know that Nalant's words about hearing the duke's reputation were all lies.
"Your Excellency Nalant, wine is indeed very scarce at the Duke's birthday party this time. However, I dare not accept such an expensive gift for no reason!"
"Why don't you, Sir Nalant, tell me clearly why you came all the way to the Nok Empire?"
"Lord Blow, since you asked this, I will tell you straight away. In fact, I came to the capital of Nok this time because of a small matter!" Seeing this Butler Blow pointed it out, Nalan Don't even hide it.
"I wonder if Butler Bloo has heard about the Frank family and the Dolly family?"
"The Dolly family?" Butler Blow vaguely seemed to have heard of the Frank family somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
But when it came to the Dolly family, he instantly thought of the Dolly family's movements during this period, which seemed to be suppressing a family from the Glory Continent.
"Your Excellency Nalant, is it possible that the small family that was recently attacked by the Dolly family has any connection with you?"
"That's right, Butler Blow, that small family is the Frank family, and the Frank family was a noble of the same principality as me when we were in Glory Continent. Moreover, my lover is a descendant of the Frank family, so I came to Novo this time. This is the reason why we came to King Ke's capital." Nalant nodded with a smile.
"Lover..." Steward Bro was stunned for a moment, then looked at Nalant with a strange look, "Your Excellency Nalant is really young and promising!"
"Ahem, Butler Blow, I do have a lot of love for this emotional matter, but I value relationships very much, and it's really hard to let go..." Nalant was slightly embarrassed, and thought to himself again if this would happen in China. It would have been fine in ancient China. Three wives and four concubines were all above board.
Butler Blow smiled and shook his head when he heard this. Naturally, he would not care too much about Nalant's private life, so he brought the topic back to business.
"Baron Nalant, do you know the strength of the Dolly family in the Nok Empire!"
"Butler Bloo, I have heard something about it. It is said that the Dolly family is one of the most powerful families among the great nobles in the Nok Empire, except for the royal family and Duke Miller!"
"It seems that Baron Nalant has inquired about it. The Dolly family is indeed one of the few powerful families in the Nok Empire."
"Yes, so, Butler Blow, if we want to resolve the crisis in the Frank family this time, I'm afraid we can only ask the Duke to lend a helping hand."
"Your Excellency Nalant, there are really not many people in the Nok Empire who can make the Dolly family give in. Apart from the royal family, there is only my Duke!"
"It's just that this matter is too important for me to make the decision. Therefore, I need to ask the Duke for instructions before I can give you an answer!" Butler Blow was quite straightforward.
"Of course, there is Butler Laublo!" Nalant had known for a long time that such a matter might not be answered immediately.
After a pause, he continued: "Of course, no matter whether this matter succeeds or not, my admiration for Duke Miller is true, so this batch of wine is still given to the Duke for free!"
After hearing these last words, Butler Blow's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Nalant, and he actually looked a little surprised.
He knew that Nalant was showing courtesy for nothing, so he must be asking for something.
But now, he hasn't agreed yet, but he still presents the wine as a gift.
Isn't he afraid that after accepting the wine, he won't be able to agree to help?
This is fifty to sixty thousand gold coins... This shows that the courage of this little baron is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary little nobles!
"Okay, Your Excellency Narant, I will convey your kindness to the Duke. In addition, why don't Baron Narant come to attend the Duke's banquet tomorrow! The Duke is busy with things, and I think I need to give you a reply." Two days!" Bu Luo stopped delaying and accepted the wine directly.
The birthday party was held with wine this time, but it was the Duke's order.
Although there is no requirement for the quantity of wine, the more the better.
"Then I'll trouble Butler Blow!"
Next, Nalant got another banquet invitation from Butler Bulow.
Moreover, when Butler Blow handed the banquet invitation to him, he also specifically mentioned the areas that the banquet invitation could enter at that time.
When a dignified Duke holds a birthday party, the number of people must be quite large.
And no matter how spacious the hall is, it cannot accommodate thousands of people attending the banquet at the same time.
Therefore, the birthday party tomorrow night will be divided into indoor and outdoor.
Those who can enter the room are naturally the nobles with status and status.
Those with slightly lower status could only stand in the square outside the house to participate.
Although Duke Miller can be seen by then, Miller will definitely stay indoors most of the time to accompany the nobles.
After receiving the invitation from his men, Nalant did not stay in the manor for long and returned directly to the hotel.
After returning to the hotel, Nalant immediately sent Big Stone to deliver the wine to Duke Miller's manor.
In addition, Natasha was informed about the invitation.
Natasha naturally smiled when she heard this, and then asked Narant how he got the banquet invitation.
Nalant did not tell Natasha about his trip to Duke Miller's manor. After all, it was still unclear whether it would succeed or not.
In this way, he still told Natasha that he was getting rid of the noble representative of Umna.
Naturally, Natasha had no doubts. She thanked Nalant and immediately informed his father, Bauer, about the incident so that Bauer wouldn't be anxious.
…
Time turned and came to the second day.
Narant first received a birthday party invitation from the Marquis of Umm at noon.
Narant did not refuse the invitation.
After all, we have escaped from the exit, so there is definitely no reason to go back.
After getting the invitation that Wumu found for him, Nalant found that it was different from the one he got directly from Butler Bloo.
The invitation card Wu Mu gave him had a cover made of silver, although it was also exquisite and luxurious.
But compared with the gold-forged birthday party invitation given by Butler Blow, it was still a lower grade.
What's more important is that Wumu's grape invitation actually requires that only two people can be brought.
Nalant sighed that it was a good thing that he took the initiative to go to Miller Manor again, otherwise he would probably not be able to attend the banquet with Natasha and his father today.
In the evening, as the sunset gradually set, Narante, Natasha and others changed into brand new dresses and boarded his golden carriage.
Since you are going to a banquet, you must not act too shabby.
In this way, Nalant's inscribed carriage obtained from the dwarves is a perfect match.
As the carriage moved forward, it soon came to the noble area of the royal capital of Nuk again.
After entering the noble area, the main road, which used to be slightly empty, also became busy.
A number of noble carriages gathered from various parts of the city.
Although Nalant's carriage was already a rare presence in the Black Rock Plains in the past.
But today, when he looked around, he had already discovered the existence of several carriages with the same inscriptions.
When other nobles saw his carriage, even though they didn't know him, they would still politely give him priority.
In this way, following the rolling carriage convoy, Nalant and others finally arrived at the gate of Duke Miller's manor.
There is no need to get off the car after arriving at the gate of the manor, because tonight you can take a carriage directly into the manor.
Duke Miller's manor occupies a very large area. If you get off the car and walk, you will need to walk for at least ten minutes to reach the manor building.
For example, when Nalant came yesterday, he entered the gate and rode a special carriage inside the manor.
Because there are so many people today, it would be even more extreme for the nobles to ride in their own carriages.
At this moment, there were already two queues lined up at the entrance of Miller Manor.
There were fewer vehicles in one of the vertical carriage queues, but the carriages in that queue were obviously much more luxurious than the other carriages. Several carriages with inscriptions that Nalant had just seen on the road were also among them.
As for the other queue with a larger number of carriages, although there are many luxury carriages, ordinary carriages still account for the majority.
Obviously, this should be used to distinguish the status of nobles. For example, the smaller queue must be the entry channel for the big nobles, and what is needed is a gold invitation.
The queue with a larger number of people is the entry channel for ordinary nobles, who use silver invitations to enter.
When Nalant saw this, he thought for a moment and prepared to head towards the noble passage.
After all, the queue of ordinary nobles has already been lined up with forty or fifty carriages, and it will probably take a lot of time to pass through.
If you have a birthday invitation made of gold, it is useless if you don’t use it.
"Baron Narant!" However, at this moment, Narant suddenly heard someone calling him not far ahead.
Looking closely, it was the Marquis of Umm.
"Baron Narant, our invitation is here to enter!" Seeing that Narant saw him, Um immediately waved and explained.
"Okay! Marquis of Umm!" Seeing this, Nalant could only give up his previous thoughts and let the coachman drive the carriage towards the Marquis of Umm.
Just wait, the banquet hasn't started yet anyway, if I go to the noble passage now, I'm afraid the Marquis Wumu will be embarrassed and unable to get off the stage.
Narant still has this bit of emotional intelligence.
Seeing Nalant's carriage lined up behind him, Marquis Naum immediately nodded towards him. He didn't know that Nalant could have entered the manor faster. .
However, Nalant's move made many nobles around him fix their eyes on his carriage.
"What's going on? Which family's carriage is that? The carriage with the inscription is actually lined up on our side?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it's impossible to buy such an inscribed carriage without tens of thousands of gold coins!"
"Is it some great noble?"
"Pfft, how can it be a big noble? If it is a big noble, then it should be over there. Did you see that the big nobles all use gold invitations?"
"That's right. Could it be that some small aristocratic family cares about face and probably spent a lot of money to order such a luxurious carriage!"
"I guess that's it! Haha, I don't know which family it is from. It's really luxurious! Seeing that the noble young man is still very young, I'm afraid he is a dandy who just inherited the title."
"Tsk, tsk, with such extravagant spending, I'm afraid he will squander all the family wealth in a few years!"
