How big was the former resident palace of the Galloping Horse Kingdom? After Lant came in, he thought he was back at Blue Dragon School.
The palace is not far from the Longtai Mountain Palace. It is said that it was once the residence of the Red Dragon family. There are 7 or 8 large buildings on the ground. The tallest building is no less than 100 meters. In addition, there are at least 5 gardens, 8 pools and 3 A forest.
Because the station itself is in the mountains, surrounded by mountains and forests, with 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 accordance with the luxurious style of Padmila Palace. The basement is connected to the mountain, with at least 4 floors. When Lant visited, he even saw the portal room.
Such a large-scale palace building had been cleaned before Antreqi led Lant here, and all the furniture and magic pattern boards inside had been re-arranged.
"Sir, when Benma first fell thousands of years ago, this was the residence of the Benma royal family for a period of time." Antreqi directly led Lant to the largest bedroom in the main building of the residence.
"You can see that the furniture here is hundreds of years old. Of course, all the bedding and supplies have been recently replaced. I believe you will feel like you are at home when you live here."
"That's great." Lant could only smile politely to cover up the fact that he was still sleeping in a tent in the cellar.
As the palace of the galloping royal family for thousands of years, the entire building complex has very complete functions, including a magic plantation, a stable for exclusive Warcraft mounts, a magic tower for magisters to experiment, a training room for high-level knights, and a theater , training hall and small library, Lant even saw dozens of magic academic magazines and essay collections from 1996 in the library.
"These collections of essays are updated every year, and all expenses come from the daily projects of the Galloping Horse Fund." Antrege took out a magazine called "Micro Magic Essays" and introduced,
"Only a few major royal families and magic schools in several royal capitals can afford such a comprehensive subscription of journals. Many magisters' magic towers can only order a few of the more commonly used journals."
"In addition, sir, there is still a batch of fine wines from the Galloping Horse Kingdom in the resident wine cellar. They have never been touched in the past hundreds of years." The whole kingdom is so polite to Lant. Naturally, it is because there is a card in the Lant Finance Hall of more than 6 million from the Dragon Kingdom. The loan of gold coins is now also the ballast stone of the Dragon Finance Department. This money is not part of the principal of the Galloping Horse Fund. In theory, as the governor of Yeqi City, Rand can already withdraw money from the ruling office of Dragon Tooth City.
However, Antrege had already revealed in a subtle way in the morning that this ballast stone would have an immeasurable effect on the current kingdom's finances. If he really wanted to get the rand, he would have to pay the cost and price of leading the army to Longtai Mountain.
Lant also knows that it is impossible to seize food from the dragon's mouth. He can only continue to ask for policies and subsidies from the kingdom in the future to compensate. After all, His Majesty the King has expressed his intention and returned the palace belonging to the Benma family to Lant Benma. .
Of course, Lant cannot stay in the palace today. The magister sent by His Majesty the King has to test various magic circles in the palace. Antreqi took Lant to several properties and warehouses in the Galloping Horse Kingdom. , there are shops.
Antlage did not have a dinner date with Lant today, but sent him to the residence of Bai Xiao's family, where Li Qi Honglong entertained Lant alone.
This morning, the division of labor among the Red Dragon nobles was very clear. On behalf of McLaren and the Blue Dragon family, Antreqi first proposed various matters to Rand, including funds and Yeqicheng real estate, to test Rand's tone, and obtained After getting a satisfactory answer, Antreqi will go back and report to the Blue Dragon Family.
As a representative of the great nobles of the Dragon King's capital, Li Qi reached a more efficient agreement with Lant.
"Viscount Lant, every noble in the Dragon Kingdom does not deny the Benma family or your ownership of the Benma Fund, but you also know that such a huge sum has been stored in the finance departments of various countries for hundreds of years. Fund, if something goes wrong,” at lunch, the first thing Li Qi talked about was the issue of the Galloping Horse Fund, and he made a doomed gesture with both hands.
"I'm afraid we haven't even taken the responsibility."
"Of course, Duke." Maybe it was some kind of illusion. Lant felt that it was very smooth to discuss official matters with Li Qi. Everyone had similar thoughts. Many words were said in a nutshell without being too thorough.
"But I hope this fund can be invested in my magic workshop and use this year's interest to subsidize part of Yeqi City's defense expenses. After all, we will soon face the threat of orcs."
"That's natural." Li Qi and Lant achieved all the set goals in just half an hour of eating. Although there were concessions in some places, such as the status of Galloping Horse Plains and the taxes of Lot territory, these Compared to the ballast stones in the vault, they are trivial.
With a good start in the morning, Lant had a very happy afternoon in Dragon Tooth City. Accompanied by Dugan, he visited several count and marquis families and sent them some Galloping Horse wine as souvenirs.
As the evening approached, Lant suddenly wanted to visit the magical fairy store in Dragon Tooth City, so under the leadership of Dugan, he went to the largest magical fairy store in the city.
This store is located at the foot of Longtai Mountain, not far from Galloping Horse Palace, and the front desk of this store is a magic scroll shop, specializing in selling various magic pattern boards, magic scrolls, and even some magic pattern equipment. Until After seeing the viscount badge on Lant's body, the store invited Lant and Dugan to the backyard. In a special building, Lant actually saw several types of magical fairies, including grass, earth, fire, poison, and wood. Elements, wind elements, water elements, Lant was shocked by so many magic fairies.
The magical fairies are all sealed in the eggshells and placed neatly. Rant felt like these goblins were seducing him.
"Sir, this is why the identity must be checked. These magic fairies are entrusted for sale here by nobles from all over the world. Each one starts from 1,000 gold coins. Which one you like, I will give you a price." At this moment Lan Lan Te wanted to make things right, but his reason told him that he would have to stay here for several days in the future, so buying everything in one go would be too showy.
"Sir?" The store owner saw that Lant was really interested in magical fairies.
"As far as I know, there is a shop selling magic fairies outside the city, just over there on the black market. If you are interested, it will be cheaper there."
"Black market?" Lant was a little unsure.
"Yes, some were sold quietly by the little lords who didn't want the feudal lord to know, and some were snatched by the big lords," the shopkeeper said in a low voice.
"I just heard that that place only sells it a few days a week. If you really want to buy it, you can go and have a look."
