On the 31st, the walrus clan mage Yumis Longtusk came to Lant's lord's room. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a standard-sized magic pattern cabinet in the hall.
"Duke Lant, please allow me to offer you my heartfelt congratulations on your series of victories on Baishan Island. In addition, I would also like to bid you farewell. As a mage of the Sea Beast Clan, I must return to Luoyang as soon as possible. Go to Yuehu and fight with the tribe!"
As soon as Yumis saw Lant, he straightforwardly proposed to leave.
"Master Yumis, I'm here because I went to the north yesterday. Someone happened to have customized this magic pattern cabinet from the workshop in Yeqi City. I especially ask you to take a look." Lant pointed to the most conspicuous item in the hall. .
"According to the customer's requirements, we installed refrigeration magic patterns on the outside of this magic pattern cabinet, and installed filter magic patterns on the inside of the cabinet. This means that oxygen will be continuously released inside the cabinet, and the surrounding water will be released outside the cabinet. Cool down quickly.”
"Well, you mean..." There was a glint in the eyes of the Walrus clan mage.
"This is what someone else ordered from me. Its composition is basically the same as that of the power cabinet, and it can keep running underwater. It takes a lot of magic to cool and filter this magic pattern cabinet for a long time. Without the magic furnace, I'm afraid it requires a high-level mage to move it, but once it stops somewhere, it will slowly be filled with foreign air inside, and 1/4 of the volume of foreign air can be obtained in about 2 hours."
"Ah!" Numerous thoughts quickly flashed through Yumis's mind, "Then, how many gold coins does such a machine cost?"
"The price is about the same as the power cabinet, less than 100 gold coins. All the magic patterns in it are ready-made. If you need a cabinet that can be effective for a long time without relying on magic crystals and magicians, you can only try something like the magic pattern of life. , which produces magic patterns during the glass firing process, but not only is the cost very high, but the effect is not very good!"
"I understand what you mean!" Yumis nodded vigorously, all the meaning was unspoken, "I want to order 50 units first!"
"So many?" Now it was Lant's turn to not understand.
Before noon, Xiu Ming arrived at Yeqi City, took away the magic pattern cabinet for the Sea Beast Tribe, and left 20,000 gold coins. He hoped that as long as the Sea Beast Tribe placed an order, the Yeqi City workshop could produce at full capacity. Out another 150 units.
Lant wanted to know how the Sea Beast Tribe would use these cabinets, but he could no longer stay in Yeqi City. The Winter Festival on December 1st was coming, and he had to go to the Imperial Capital to prepare. After all, his Duke canonization ceremony will not be as simple as yesterday's Caotai Team canonization ceremony.
"Duke Lant, I'm afraid you are the least prepared Duke in the past 200 years!"
As soon as he met the chief of the palace, Lant complained. Of course, since there had been no major wars in 200 years, the number of dukes he could be promoted to was also very limited.
The head of the Imperial Household Agency and Lant spent an entire afternoon rehearsing, from the walking and sitting postures during the ceremony on the 1st, to the etiquette of meeting the emperor, to the main agenda of the meeting with the God-Emperor at noon, and to the meal at the luncheon that day. All dishes need to be checked one by one with Lant.
At night, Lant stayed in the guest room area of the palace. The royal family prepared a 4-story building for him. As his residence and office in recent days, the building not only has sufficient rooms, but also is specially used for meditation. , the training place can be said to be a small palace.
So on the 33rd, Lant spent the whole day in the guest room meeting visiting guests, including royal princes, kings of foreign countries, and elven nobles. After a few rounds, Lant couldn't remember who was who.
It was not until the afternoon that Lant finally met the first nobleman under the duke, the Marquis of Fiat Galloping Horse.
"Duke Lant, as a member of the Benma family, I congratulate you on recovering Yeqi City and guarding the Benma Plain!"
"Marquis of Fiat, as a member of the Galloping Horse family, I have heard of your name for a long time!"
When two strangers who had known each other for many years met for the first time, they seemed extremely polite. They not only complimented each other, but also brought several boxes of gifts to each other. In addition to the armor and fine wine that Lant sent to Jenny before, Suits, as well as various magic devices produced in Yeqi City.
In addition to a large amount of seafood, pearls and corals, Fiat also has some old belongings from the Galloping Horse family.
After this period of time and space, the relationship between Rand and Fiat is no longer as tense as it was before. Now the most important business of the Fiat family's workshops is to supply the boards for the magic pattern cabinets in Yeqi City. , and inland river transport ships. These orders were all paid for in gold coins, which relieved the financial pressure on Fiat.
On Rand's side, after a lot of comparisons, it was confirmed that Fiat's workshop is indeed the supplier with the most stable delivery and the most mature craftsmanship, so the perception of Fiat has also been greatly improved.
However, the business between the two people was discussed in secret in the Temple of Wealth, and it was indeed not exposed to the public. Although Fiat gave up the idea of Ye Qicheng, both face and lizi were reluctant to give up control of the Galloping Horse Fund. So after we actually meet, what we can talk about is very limited.
After the awkward greetings and treasure bidding, Fiat found a suitable topic: "Your Highness the Duke, I have a daughter named Jenny. She told us about going to the Hindukel Basin at the end of August, and then she completely lost her Contacted, we asked the Galloping Horse family in the basin, they didn’t even know she had been to the basin, do you know her whereabouts?”
"Ah, indeed." Lant looked embarrassed, "Ms. Jenny was involved in an assassination."
"Assassination?" Fiat's face froze.
"Yes, she entered the Galloping Horse Plains at the end of August and the beginning of September. In fact, we met once, but on the night of the meeting, she attempted to assassinate me and was subsequently controlled by my guards."
"Duke Lant, are you..." Concerned about Lant's current identity, Fiat tried to adjust his words, "Your words really confuse me. She is a mage who majors in water magic patterns. How can she Maybe to assassinate you?"
"According to her own account, she wanted to take back control of the family for you, so she decided to assassinate me on the spur of the moment," Lant said seriously, "Please read this letter, which she left for you at the scene. letter."
Lant took out the letter that the quasi-legendary fox Suvilla "assisted" Jenny to write at the time. The letter clearly stated that Jenny was "personally" going to go alone to assassinate the War Marquis Lant Galloping Horse and serve for herself. His biological father fought for control of the family.
"Your Highness, do you think I..."
Fiat felt that Rand was playing a trick on him. His daughter could pay to hire murderers, support the orcs in Hindukel, and even spend some money to encourage Kirislav to make small moves in the eastern part of the Galloping Horse Plains. However, it was impossible to find Rand in person. He went to fight hand to hand and left behind such a stupid confession.
"I know you don't believe it. In fact, I don't believe it at all. After all, Master Jenny's intelligence and wit are obvious to all. She really wants to deal with me and has various ways to make me uncomfortable."
