On July 31, a barbarian caravan entered the gate of Abadi, the commercial capital of the Hindukel Valley. The nominal product of this caravan from the Galloping Horse Plain was the iron ore contracted for this quarter. Stone, iron ingot and magicweave base plate.
However, some wealthy families in Abadi received the news that this caravan carried some magic pattern specialties from Yeqi City and could be regarded as a semi-official business group of the Galloping Horse family.
The person who contacted this business group was the most important family in Abadi: the camel-people Dulazi family. The Papa Camel Tavern that Lant entered that year was named after the head of their family: Shahman Duleziz.
The caravan also stayed at the Camel Family's hotel, the Basin Oasis Hotel. This hotel has chains in almost nine city-states in the Hindukel Basin.
"Hello everyone, I am Shaath Dulqiz. Thank you all for coming from afar." As soon as the barbarian team arrived at the hotel, a camel man greeted them. Shaas had the standards of the Dulqiz family. Appearance: Like a standing camel.
The young camel man who met the captain of the caravan did not rush to discuss business. Instead, he arranged for the barbarians to stay, eat and drink, and even arranged for family members to accompany them to the market. He also showed great enthusiasm and respect for everyone in the caravan.
Now that the barbarians felt at home and comfortable, they were naturally willing to bring out real things. Soon, magic pattern armor, magic pattern knives, porcelain with life magic patterns, whole barrels of shochu, magic potion wine, and a large bottle of fine wine were all brought out. . There are also rolls of magic pattern scrolls, whole boxes of magic pattern boards, and several bundles of magic plants.
"Has Yeqi City developed to this level now?" The young camel man opened his mouth in surprise when faced with the dazzling merchandise.
The barbarian captain on the side looked at the heat and quickly said in a low voice, "There is a barbarian warrior in our team who brought some even more incredible things, but he said they were too precious and he hoped to present them to Lord Shahman in person. , I wonder if I can see him?"
When Shaas heard that these barbarian caravans were going to see his uncle, he couldn't help but feel that he was being underestimated. He said hesitantly, "Captain, can I know what your teammate wants to get?"
"Of course," the captain took out a leather tube box from a leather bag, "This is a sample."
"This is? Benma's fine wine?" Shaath noticed the magic pattern on the leather box and the magic crystal base on the top. However, when he took out the inner bottle sleeve, he was still surprised. "This bottle can rotate? This There are two bottles inside, filled with two kinds of fine wine? Each small bottle also has an independent life magic pattern? "
The camel man knew that the two-in-one fine wine set in his hand was no longer showing off the fine wine itself, but completely showing off a certain technique. This idea had not been tried locally or even in the entire continent.
"How much does a bottle like this cost?" Shaath believed that if it were to be auctioned, 100 gold coins would definitely be the starting price, and I'm afraid it could easily be sold for less than 500 gold coins.
"This is for you. It is a gift specially entrusted to you by the Galloping Horse Royal Family," the team leader said with a smile.
"This...isn't good, it's too expensive," the camel man said, but his hands tightened.
"How could it be? We have a small gift to give to Lord Shahman, and we have also prepared some interesting auction items for your family, which need to be inspected by Lord Shahman in person!" This captain is from the commercial capital. I am a veteran and have a good idea of what the little camel wants to hear.
"Of course, I'll invite my uncle over right away!" Shaas hurried away, fearing that if he stayed a moment longer, he would open the bottle cap and taste the jade liquid and nectar inside. He had even noticed that there was a mechanism on the mouth of the bottle. , you can choose which kind of wine to drink.
After the little camel left, a figure appeared from the shadows of the room, "What is the position of Shahman? Consul? Financial officer? Priest, or city defense captain? Why are there so many of his family's properties in the entire city? ?”
"Sir Lant, that old camel doesn't have any position, and he doesn't even have a clear status in his family, but he has to nod for all major events in Abedi." The captain quickly replied respectfully.
"That means he is a tyrant?" Lant nodded, "It really has the charm of a commercial capital."
In the past 10 days, Lant held a joint territorial meeting, a special western border meeting, and even took the magisters from the royal capital and the imperial capital to visit Galloping Horse Academy. After the team from the forest palace returned, Lant Only then can we safely enter the Hindukel Basin and join the barbarian caravan.
After the last reconnaissance of the overall terrain of the basin, Lant's main purpose this time was to conduct reconnaissance of castles of all sizes, as well as the two largest orc tribes in the area: Scorched Wolf and Forest Cat.
In the entire basin, there are three large city-states such as Abadi. The other two are Tikal, the capital of life, which is mainly dedicated to the god of life, and Siam, the capital of fertility, which is mainly dedicated to the goddess of the earth.
In terms of geographical distribution, Abadi is closest to the Galloping Horse Plain in the east, Tikal is in the middle, and Siam is connected to the mountains of the Orc Plateau in the far west.
The three large city-states have priest areas, public areas and residential areas. In the City of Life, the hospitals, pharmacies and potion shops in the public areas are the best in the basin, while Siam has the largest magic plant planting school and magic plant garden. Supplied nearly 40% of local magic plants.
In addition to the three major city-states, there are six small city-states in the basin. They are all neutral cities that are independent of the Orc Royal Court and are mainly composed of priests of ancient gods. These cities provide a large number of public services to the orcs, half-orcs and human tribes throughout the basin. .
For Lant, these city-states are potential business partners and targets. If chambers of commerce and informants can be arranged in these cities, the market of the Orc Plateau can be opened up after the war in the future.
Arriving in Abedi half a month later, the first thing Lant did after he had some free time was to go outside the city to find the female cat he had fed before. It was the closest thing to a cat in his hometown since he came to this world.
It was still the same forest as before. Lant easily found the cat nest he had made at that time, but it was empty. However, not long after, the female cat heard Lant's voice and ran over from the depths of the forest.
"Hey, you really haven't left yet," Lant happily started petting the cat, cleaning, bathing, drying, and feeding the monster meat. "Kitten, I can take you back to my house this time. Do you want to come with me?"
"Meow~" The leopard-print cat gave a timely response to Lant's words, and even rubbed his leg with an "I agree" expression on his face, which greatly benefited Lant.
