"Whose caravan is this? How can it block the entire street?"
"I see there are dozens of knights in the escorting guard. I'm afraid they are from the Blue Dragon family, right?"
"The Lanlong family's motorcade? It shouldn't pass here."
When Lant walked to the street outside his house's chamber of commerce, passers-by and neighbors had blocked the intersection. Lant could only hear everyone's comments, but was unable to squeeze into the crowd to maintain order in the caravan.
Salt is a bulk cargo. This time, Lant's caravan brought several boatloads of salt, which had already been picked up by the Lanlong family outside the ferry. At this time, the 50 beasts of burden outside the chamber of commerce were loading specialties from the territory and purchases along the way. of goods.
"Have you seen those beasts of burden? They are really strong. They are more suitable for the mountain roads here than horse-drawn carriages."
"Yes, such groups of beasts of burden are probably only found in the northwest."
"Look at the things in those packages. They are all animal skins and herbs. Are those the bones of monsters?"
"This is definitely not the Lanlong family's caravan. Their caravan guards don't wear iron armor! This is really luxurious. I'm afraid some marquis came with the caravan?"
The residents on the entire street are all nobles from all over the kingdom. In their eyes, this caravan's animals, goods, and guards are all very unfamiliar. People are constantly talking and looking around. In the face of the mighty guards, no one dares to They moved forward without authorization, but no one wanted to retreat.
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" came out from the end of the crowd, and the sound of the flutes was drowned out by the voices of the people.
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong." Some people heard it and turned around to see whose child was so naughty. Some onlookers at the windows on both sides of the street moved their eyes to the end of the crowded queue.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, !
Not long after, the crowd in front let out a low cry, and the shouts passed from the front row of the crowd to the back. Many people in the back row even jumped on the carriage, and then exclaimed again.
On the road ahead, the pack animals crowded together took the initiative to stand in a line along the wall. Each pack animal stood diagonally, leaving a passage for the not-so-wide road.
The black-scaled horses of the escorts also automatically formed a line along the street and moved out of the way.
The blind passerby prepared to drive the carriage forward, but the horses in front of the carriage did not move forward no matter what, and the carriage at the end even took several steps back.
Under the gaze of the beast of burden and the black-scaled horse, a tall horse walked proudly towards the back of the street. The red and black sparks on its body seemed to become a flame, burning from the horse's belly to mid-air.
Every beast of burden, every black-scaled horse, lowered its head when the fire passed by, and the fire turned its nostrils to the sky, inspecting the team around it.
When the fire approached, the horses pulling the carts unconsciously lowered their heads and backed up, and even the non-demon or low-level demon-loving ones driving the carts unconsciously retreated.
"Is this... a magical beast horse? This is definitely not the animals in the magic material store that grew up on horse farms."
"It's so beautiful. Is this horse the leader of these beasts of burden?" People whispered, even though they knew that Liehuo couldn't understand, they subconsciously kept their voices down.
Amid everyone's speculation and attention, Liehuo walked to the end of the crowd. Under everyone's gaze, a young man who didn't look very outstanding stood next to him.
Lant stroked the fire very affectionately, and he and the horse were like old friends he hadn't seen for many years, completely ignoring the eyes of others.
Lant himself did not expect that his first appearance in the royal capital would be the opportunity his mount fought for.
After Lie Huo was comfortable with Rua, Lant led it into his chamber of commerce.
"Dear neighbors, I am Lant Benma, the Viscount of the Northwestern Lot Territory. This is the chamber of commerce of our Lot Territory and the Benma Territory. It mainly sells specialties from the Benma Plain. Everyone is welcome to come and take a look."
Lant did not forget to promote his business before entering the door.
The beasts of burden and horses queued up into the chamber of commerce's yard obediently, and the traffic outside the door also returned to order amidst the surprise of pedestrians.
"I have seen these beasts of burden in your camp before. There was no comparison at that time. Now it seems that your beasts of burden are also good breeds." The person who spoke was Antreqi Blue Dragon. He and Benat Frost As soon as Wolf heard that Lant's caravan had arrived, he ran to the Chamber of Commerce.
Antreqi was not interested in the specialties on the Galloping Horse Plains. After all, he planned to send a caravan directly there. He came here to see if the magician Lant mentioned had any new works.
In addition, I would also like to thank Lant for arriving on schedule. After all, his appeasement policy towards the Gray Goose Tribe indirectly led to the war in the Northwest Territory a few months ago. There are already voices in the family wanting to replace him as the agent of the Salt and Iron Department.
This time, Lant arrived on time and in quantity, giving Antrege room to move around in the family.
However, Bennet was very interested in the goods on Lant's Galloping Horse Plains, especially the beasts of burden. The beasts of burden on the grasslands were stronger than those in the hinterland of the human race, and just now these animals showed very strong obedience. , In addition, Mrs. Lislavia likes fur very much, and the large amount of sheepskins and pack animal skins brought by Rand are very popular goods.
Antlage and Lant entered the main room for talks first, while Bennet wisely stayed outside to select goods.
"I did entrust the magister to make a new alchemy item. Please take a look at this." As he said this, Lant took out the magic container from the space ring.
Antreach did not speak immediately, but walked around the container and silently counted the number of magic patterns on the cabinet, "Sir, this item of yours has at least 18 magic patterns on it."
"20"
"Yes, so the price of this thing will not be less than 100 gold coins. It's hard for me to imagine what a magic-sealing box worth 100 gold coins could be used for?"
"Fresh goods, live fish, seafood or monsters in sea water."
"Sir, I'm afraid no individual or restaurant can afford such product prices." Antrich mentally labeled Lant's magic container as impractical.
Lant didn't plan on selling this thing from the beginning, he just wanted to test whether it would work.
However, Bennet, who later discussed business with Lant, gave Lant a little hope after seeing the magic container.
"I think if there is a demand for this in high-end restaurants, I can ask about the restaurants owned by our family."
Lant naturally had no objection, and then Bennet wanted to buy 20 pack animals. For Lant, the current 50 pack animals were used for transportation and were not suitable for sale, but Lant owned hundreds of pack animals at home. , you can ask the teleportation hall to pass the information and let people transport it through the teleportation gate.
When Lant sent Bennet away, Lant suddenly remembered the details. Bennet customized some glass boxes for himself. He bought about five sets. The size of the box should be similar to the size of the magic sealing box. Bennet did not understand. Rand's intention, but agreed.
When Bennet left, he saw his younger brother Metz. Metz and Lant took leave of absence and went home to reunite with their brothers. Lant had dinner with his second brother Obote Galloping Horse.
This trip to Hongshang is the first time in hundreds of years that the Benma family in the Northwest Territory has brought business to the royal capital. As the actual person in charge of Hongshang, Obot can be said to be very excited. He talked about what he had seen and heard along the way all night long. He kept saying how good Mace was in business.
"I also knew before that I would buy some specialties from the territory along the way and sell them in Maned Wolf City. I didn't expect that Metz, who was doing business in the Elk Territory for the first time, knew better than me which goods were in short supply and which plants were cheaper here in Dragon Tooth City."
"That's right, Mace had already joined the caravan before the bloodline breakthrough. He struggled in the caravan from the royal capital to the Maned Wolf City for more than 10 years, and then he was kidnapped to the Galloping Horse Plains." Lan. I have no doubts about Metz's talent.
"How about the second young master of the earl?"
"I haven't seen anyone. I just sent an intermediate knight to act with us as the captain. The intermediate knights said all the way that with our team, no one will rob us without opening their eyes." Lant naturally believed this. , after all, the forces that can take down a 20-man knight team will not care about the small profit but quick turnover of goods in their caravan, not to mention the salt that is the specialty of the Salt and Iron Division.
But he didn't expect that Derek Maned Wolf, who was assigned to do business, was not in the caravan.
