Chapter 115 113. First appearance in front of neighbors
"Whose caravan is this? How can it block the entire street?"
"I see there are dozens of Knight in the escorting guard, I'm afraid it's Blue Dragon Family, right?"
"Blue Dragon Family's convoy? It shouldn't pass here either."
When Landen walked to the street outside his Chamber of Commerce home, passers-by and neighbors had blocked the intersection. Landen could only hear people talking, but could not squeeze into the crowd to maintain order in the caravan.
Salt is a bulk cargo. Landen's caravan brought several ships of salt this time and had already been picked up by the Blue Dragon Family's people outside the ferry. At this time, the 50 beasts of burden outside Chamber of Commerce were carrying specialties from the territory and goods purchased along the way.
"Have you seen those beasts of burden? They are really strong, and 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 Blue Dragon Family's caravan. Their caravan guards will not wear Iron Armor! This is really luxurious. I'm afraid some Marquis came with the caravan, right?"
The residents on the entire street are all nobles from all over Kingdom. In their eyes, everything in this caravan, from livestock to goods to guards, is very unfamiliar. People are constantly talking and looking around. Facing the mighty guards, no one dares to advance without permission, but no one wants to retreat.
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" 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.
"Woo woo woo" Landen blew the last three times. This piccolo found in the Bull Tribe is a special tool for Landen and his old friend.
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 guards' Black-Scaled Horse also automatically formed a line along the street and got out of the way.
The blind passers-by 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 Black-Scaled Horse, a tall horse walked proudly towards the back of the street. The red and black Blaze pattern 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, would lower its head when Blaze passed by, and Blaze turned its nostrils to the sky, inspecting the team around it.
When Blaze approached, the Pack Horse pulling the cart unconsciously lowered their heads and backed up, and even the Mana-Less or Low-Rank Mana-Wielder driving the cart unconsciously backed up.
"This is...Magic 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 it was impossible for Blaze to understand, they subconsciously kept their voices down.
Amid everyone's speculation and attention, Blaze walked to the end of the crowd. Under everyone's gaze, a young man who didn't look very outstanding held it next to him.
Landen caressed Blaze very affectionately, they were like old friends they hadn't seen for many years, completely ignoring other people's gazes.
Landen himself did not expect that when Royal Capital made his first appearance, it would be the opportunity that his mount fought for for him.
After Blaze was comfortable with rua, Landen led it into his own Chamber of Commerce.
"Dear neighbors, I am Landen·Gallop, Viscount from Rothe Territory in the northwest. This is Chamber of Commerce from our Rothe Territory and Gallop Territory. We mainly sell specialties on Gallop Plains. Everyone is welcome to come and take a look."
Landen Don't forget to promote your business before entering the door.
The beasts of burden and horses queued up into the Chamber of Commerce yard obediently, and the traffic outside the door also restored order to the surprise of pedestrians.
"I have seen these beasts of burden in your camp before, but there was no comparison at that time. Now it seems that your beasts of burden are also good breeds." The speaker was Antrechi·Blue Dragon. As soon as he and Benat·Frost-Wolf heard that Landen's caravan had arrived, they ran to Chamber of Commerce.
Antrechi is not interested in the specialty products on Gallop Plains. After all, he is planning to send a caravan directly there. He came here to see if Archmage, whom Landen mentioned, has any new works.
In addition, I would also like to thank Landen for arriving on schedule. After all, his appeasement policy towards the Grey Goose Tribe indirectly led to the war in 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.
Landen arrived on time and in quantity this time, giving Antrechi room to move around in the family.
However, Benat is very interested in the goods on Gallop Plains of Landen, especially the beasts of burden. The beasts of burden on Grassland are better than those on Human Race The ones in the hinterland are stronger, and just now these animals have shown very strong obedience. In addition, the Slavic lady likes fur very much, and the large amount of sheepskins and pack animal skins brought by Landen are very popular goods.
Antrechi and Landen entered the main room for talks first, while Benat stayed outside to select goods.
"I did commission Archmage to make a new alchemy item. Please take a look at this." Landen said and took out Magic Cargo Container from Space Ring.
Antrechi did not speak immediately, but walked around the container and silently counted the number of Magic Pattern on the cabinet, "Sir, there are at least 18 Magic Pattern on this item of yours."
"20"
"Yes, so the price of this thing will not be less than 100 Gold Coin. It is difficult for me to imagine what a Magic-Sealing Box worth 100 Gold Coin can be used for?"
"Fresh goods, live fish, seafood or monsters in sea water."
"Sir, I'm afraid no individual or restaurant can afford such a product price." Antrechi mentally labeled Landen's Magic Cargo Container as impractical.
Landen didn't plan to sell this thing from the beginning, but just wanted to test whether it works well.
However, Benat, who later discussed business with Landen, gave Landen a little hope after seeing Magic Cargo Container.
"I think if it is a high-end restaurant and there is a demand for this, I can ask the restaurant owned by our family."
Landen naturally has no objection, and then Benat hopes to purchase 20 pack animals. For Landen, the current 50 pack animals are used for transportation and are not suitable for sale. However, Landen has hundreds of pack animals at home. You can ask Teleportation Hall to pass the message to have people transport them from Teleportation Portal.
When Landen sent Benat away, Landen suddenly remembered the details. Benat customized some for himself. I bought about five sets of Glass boxes. The size of the boxes should be similar to that of Magic-Sealing Box. Benat didn't understand the intention of Landen, but I agreed.
When Benat left, he saw his younger brother Mace. Mace and Landen took leave of absence and went home to reunite with their brothers. Landen had dinner with his second brother Obert·Gallop.
This is the first time Gallop Family of Northwest Territory has done business with Royal Capital in hundreds of years. As the actual person in charge of Hongshang, Obert can be said to be very excited. He talked about what he had seen along the way all night and how good Mace is at doing 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 entered the caravan before Bloodline broke through. He worked hard in the caravan from Royal Capital to Bristle-Wolf City for more than 10 years before he was kidnapped on Gallop Plains." Landen does not doubt Mace's talent.
"How about the second young master Count?"
"I haven't seen anyone. I just sent one Intermediate Knight to act with us as the captain. Intermediate Knight kept saying all the way that with our team, no one would rob us without opening their eyes." Landen naturally believes that after all, the forces that can take down the 20-man Knight team will not care about the low-profit and quick-turnover goods in their caravan, let alone the salt that Salt and Iron Department specializes in.
But he didn't expect that Derek·Bristle-Wolf, who were assigned to do business, were not in the caravan.
