I was with Ludwig.
The second meeting of the Marquis of Aston was at the Autumn Hunting Gathering held by the Third Prince Eric.Prince Eric found a natural hot spring on the northern slopes of Mount Majaro and built a hunting estate at the source of the royal family, which formed a large hunting ground of nearly 1,000 hectares of mountainous land on the northern slopes of Majaro.Every autumn when the best hunting season in Majaro is held, Prince Eric will hold such a hunting party, and Prince Eric will invite his friends to the manor for a two-day hunting activity, and this year Ying Li and I received an invitation from Prince Eric.The hunting ground is on the northern slope of Mount Majaro, and it takes at least five days to reach the port town by air from the southern pass through the Heroes' Pass in a magic caravan, and then from the airport town to the north slope along the road around the foot of Mount Majaro, but it only takes one day to reach Prince Eric's estate by horseback over the north mountain of Majaro.Recently, the classes at the Royal Academy of Magic have been very tight, in order to avoid the anger of the magic teachers due to the absence, Ying Li and I chose to cross the north slope mountain road to Prince Eric's manor the day before the hunting meeting, the ancient Bolai horse is not suitable for walking between the mountain paths, so we chose to ride the rare argali, which is one of the favorite mounts of the dwarves, King Stan, one of the seven monarchs of the dwarven kingdom, once gave James ten argali, which are now kept in the corral of the lakeside manor.The argali, a very docile animal, was domesticated by the dwarves and made it a mount ideal for mountain walking.Before dawn, I rode a magic caravan through several manor castles in the first block to the foot of the northern slope of the Majaro crater, where we changed to ride argali, and found two guides to take us along the mountain trail over Mount Majaro, and it took a whole day to reach Prince Eric's manor on the northern slope of the mountain.The dusk on the northern slope of Mount Majaro is about an hour later than that of the Imperial Capital, and standing on the north slope, the red sun in the distance no longer disappears from the top of the mountains, but gradually sinks below the horizon, a spectacular beauty that can only be seen on the outer slopes of Mount Majaro.Prince Eric's estate was built halfway up the northern slope of Mount Majaro, on the northern slope of Mount Majaro grew seventy or eighty meters tall fir and red pine, each of these giant trees almost had to be surrounded by five or six people hand in hand, there were no weeds in the mountain, just clusters of low trees and shrubs, blueberry trees and lantern fruit trees could always be seen in the woodland, of course, there were many vines, the old bark of the giant trees grew some lilac moss, there were almost no large carnivorous beasts in this woodland, Wild animals such as brown bears and grey wolves were almost wiped out by the members of the Royal Order, with the exception of a few huntable animals such as pine boars, elk, and roe deer, which were kept in captivity in the hunting grounds.As I rode through the woods on argali, I occasionally saw pheasants flying out of the bushes between the woods, flying a few hundred meters between the giant trees, and then burrowing into the trees in the distance.This was the first time Ella had left the Imperial Capital, and the orc girl was dressed in light leather armor, carrying a delicate alloy bow and a quiver full of feathered arrows, shooting a few colorful brocade pheasants along the way, tied to the hook of the saddle with ropes, and chatting with Becky excitedly along the way, occasionally talking about life in the Imperial Capital Warrior Academy, occasionally talking about the city of El, or the Pai Plateau that Karantso told her about her memory."
I'll go back to that plateau one day and see that snowy mountain."
Little Ella always swears like this.The northern slopes of the mountain are not too steep, and the trails chosen to be taken are safe and safe because there are guides who are familiar with the area, so the journey is not too hard.Prince Eric's estate was built at the source of the hot springs, a complex of brick and timber buildings with separate lofts nestled against the hill and scattered alongside steaming pools.If it is summer, it is estimated that there will be a lot of mosquitoes and poisonous insects here, but after late autumn, these mosquitoes either burrow into the soil for the winter, or freeze to death in the cold wind.Among the princes of the Angel Bolder royal family, only the third prince Eric is particularly fond of holding some balls, as well as such hunting gatherings and other activities, I walked into the manor with Ying Li, Prince Eric also came out of the main building with his servants, he walked quickly down the steps and came to me and Ying Li, the corners of his eyes squeezed out some crow's feet because of the smile, wearing a white shirt and sheepskin vest, standing straight in front of us, he smiled and said to me and Ying Li: "I thought you would take a carriage from Majaro Mountain to come by, That way, you can enjoy some of the scenery along the way, and the scenery outside of Majaro is also beautiful during this season. ”As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took Ying Li's arm and told her to jump steadily off her mount, when a servant ran over and took the reins from our hands."
There are always some magic lessons that you have to take at the academy, and this shortcut is also a great experience."
Ying Li leaned next to Eric and said softly.Prince Eric walked up to me, gave me a high-five, and said in a familiar voice, "Dinner will be ready for a while, we are making plans for tomorrow's hunt, do you want to consult together?"
”"Okay!"
I say.Prince Eric asked the servants to take the daughters to a small and independent loft to rest, and the women were in need of a hot shower and a change of clothes to rest after a day's journey, while I was dragged by Prince Eric to the living room of the main building.As Prince Eric walked into the room, he found that there were many young nobles sitting inside, some members of the royal family had only met once at the celebration of the harvest festival, and some young nobles, everyone was chatting in the room, and some people were sitting on the chess table playing cards, and the tray held by the servants was full of wine, Prince Eric walked into the room, and was pulled by several nobles to the front of the sand table model, and I also walked with him, they were really discussing tomorrow's hunting route, and I was not familiar with this mountainous area, So just listen to these nobles discussing.The waiter brought me a tray with a variety of alcoholic drinks, and I chose a glass of golden cider in it, not because I like to drink it, but because among these alcoholic drinks, I am the most familiar with golden cider, and this is also a unique habit of the people of the North, and I don't know when it began, the golden cider has become a drink that symbolizes the identity of the people of the North, and many people in the empire have a subjective impression: all people in the North like to drink Golden Cider.Looking around the lavish living room, there were some trophies left over from the hunt hanging on the left wall, among them was a brown bear's fur that looked very old, an elk skull with strong antlers, and on this wall hung a magic hand crossbow and a javelin made of ironwood, I walked over to the brown bear's fur with a wine glass, and reached out and touched the fangs of the brown bear's grinning lips, the teeth were very sharp.It was at this time that Ludwig.
The Marquis of Aston appeared beside me, he was still dressed very carefully as when we first met, he had one arm around his chest, the thumb of the other hand shaved the very neatly trimmed beard on his chin, his eyes fell on the brown bear fur on the wall as I did, and he said: "There is no brown bear of this size on the northern slope of Majaro now, all the dangerous elements have been cleared out by the knights, and the greatest potential danger in this mountain forest is the steep mountain." ”I turned my head and looked at Ludwig standing beside me.
The Marquis of Aston said calmly to him: "Marquis of Astor, you also like hunting?"
”I didn't tell him about my idea of buying a bed crossbow at the other day, because we were meeting for the first time and we hadn't yet established a basic trust with each other, and according to Alia, we had to meet at least three times before we talked about business.So when I met him this time, I also followed his topic and chatted about it.Ludwig.
The Marquis of Aston smiled and said proudly: "Hunting is not just a sport for young people, but compared to these small beasts in the forest, I prefer to go to the primeval forest to hunt salamanders, earth storms and other second-level magical beasts, when I was young, I participated in an adventure group, from the northern border of the province of San Carlos into the depths of the Ziqing Mountains, it was really an unforgettable adventure" Ludwig.
The Marquess of Aston told me stories of his youthful adventures as we walked to the viewing room next to the living room with floor-to-ceiling windows in hand.Sitting in a chair by the floor-to-ceiling window, I thought about this Ludwig.
The Marquis of Aston is really talkative.Later, when I talked about my identity as a northerner, I said to him: "When I was in the city of Eyre, I also went to the edge of the Ziqing Mountains to hunt a two-headed snake lizard".
The Marquess of Aston had the same adventure, so we had a very speculative conversation."
Marquis Jijia, I've heard that your rune workshop produces magic crossbow arrows?"
Ludwig.
Marquis Aston said.I was slightly stunned, I didn't expect him to take the initiative to mention the matter of the Fu Workshop, hearing him ask like this, I also nodded honestly and said: "Well, that's true, at present, I mainly supply some single-attribute giant crossbow arrows to the South Wind Legion, you know, I have some connections in the channel of the South Wind Legion." ”It's not a secret after all, as long as anyone in the imperial capital who pays a little attention to some magic retribution, they all know that I own a talisman workshop.Ludwig.
Marquis Aston laughed a few times and said: "Hehe, you are too modest, I have heard that not only the South Wind Legion has used the giant crossbow arrows produced by your workshop, but even the Mo Legion and the Dulva Legion have used the magic crossbow arrows produced by your workshop, with all due respect, if you still have extra magic crossbow arrows over there, you may as well sell me some, I also have a great demand for these magic crossbow arrows." ”I opened my mouth wide and looked at Ludwig.
Marquis of Aston, I was only thinking about how to buy a bed crossbow from this marquis, but I didn't expect him to have a demand for my magic crossbow arrows, in that case, "You want to buy some single-attribute crossbow arrows?"
”I could barely hide the joy in my heart, trying to control the upturned corners of my mouth, and even the next moment I was about to laugh out loud.Ludwig.
The Marquis of Aston said solemnly: "If the price is right, the dual-attribute giant crossbow arrow is also okay. ”I heard that he wanted to buy a dual-attribute giant crossbow arrow, I suddenly calmed down a lot, the dual-attribute magic crossbow arrow has always been intercepted by me for my own use, if it is not a last resort, I am unwilling to sell, so I said a little euphemistically: "Well, the current production of dual-attribute arrows is not high, the cost has not been reduced, the price is a little expensive, and the cost performance is far inferior to the single-attribute penetrating arrows and armor-piercing arrows." ”Ludwig.
The Marquis of Aston asked me curiously: "They all say that the price of your magic crossbow arrows is very fair, but I haven't found out the real price." ”I don't have anything to hide about it, the single-attribute crossbow arrows sold to the Southwind Legion and Louis are all clearly priced, so I said: "Twenty silver coins for the piercing arrow with the piercing attribute, fifteen silver coins for the armor-piercing arrow with the sharpness attribute, and one dual-attribute crossbow arrow with two magical attributes combined with one magic crystal." ”Ludwig.
Marquis Aston's eyes became very bright, he kept thinking about it, and after a while he said to me: "Well, the price of those magic crossbow arrows sold in the Imperial Capital Magic Market is almost three or four times lower, so if you calculate it, the war cost of using magic crossbow arrows is actually quite affordable, but I don't know how to buy your magic crossbow arrows?"
You probably also know that I own the largest bed crossbow workshop in the north of the Grin Imperial Capital, and there is also a great demand for these magic crossbow arrows, I know that your giant crossbow arrows have a fixed sales channel, but I also want to participate, I heard that you also have a great demand for bed crossbows, if possible, I want to use bed crossbows to replace the magic crossbow arrows in your hand. ”For Ludwig.
The Marquis of Aston was swapped for the same price, which was actually what I wanted, but I hesitated a little and said to him: "The magic crossbow arrows I sell are all cost price, because there is something to do with it!"
Can your bed crossbow be exchanged with me at cost price?"
I didn't expect to just arrive at Prince Eric's estate, and Ludwig.
Marquis Aston reached an intention to cooperate, and Marquis Aston also very readily agreed to provide me with a bed crossbow at cost price, and finally we signed a magic contract on the spot, 3,000 single-attribute giant crossbow arrows can be exchanged for a brand new bed crossbow, if I don't want the vehicle part under the bed crossbow, the number of single-attribute giant crossbow arrows can be reduced to 2,000
