After Valard was helped away, the servants quickly cleaned up the scene!
The luncheon also returned to calm. Of course, the way everyone looked at Nalant changed, no longer as if they were looking at a joke.
Just like what Rell said before, anyone who says Nalant is the useless second son is definitely trying to trick the nobles!
Nalant took the towel handed by the servant and wiped it, and then returned to its original state.
This Valard has come to trouble him again and again. He paid for his life last time, but now he wants to beat Lilia in front of him, and then humiliates himself. He has no psychological burden at all for attacking him.
Instructing Lilia to refill two plates of food and several glasses of iced juice, Nalant, Boris and others continued to eat delicious food, chatting while eating.
"Nalant, great! By the way, Nalant, how did you train your speed?" Boris couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Nalant, and then he couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.
He felt that Nalant's speed today seemed to be a little faster than last time.
"I don't know much about this. Maybe I have a talent in this area!" Nalant shook his head. Of course, he couldn't say that he ate Agility Fruit.
Just now, in order to ensure that Valard can be absolutely defeated, Nalant secretly exchanged it for another Agility Fruit.
However, he had a somewhat high opinion of Valard. Although Valard was a high-level bronze knight, his body had long been drained by alcohol and sex.
Therefore, although he seemed quite imposing, he was actually light-footed and slow to react. Nalant was unable to parry with all his strength.
"Well, Nalant, you are right, we are a little embarrassed!" Boris covered his face, and Rell on the side did the same. The two of them deeply felt Nalant's Versailles.
"Nalant, I'm afraid you will become famous in the aristocratic circle again!" Rell said with envy at this time.
I believe that today's challenging duel in the manor will spread among the noble circles in a short time.
And Nalant completely defeated the high-level bronze Valard with the intermediate bronze level, plus the reputation of the good-for-nothing second son in the past, this can definitely become a sensational news.
In addition, now that the birthday celebration is coming, and the nobles of the principality are gathering together, maybe the reputation of Nalant will spread to Earl Territory.
"Haha, Rell is right. Congratulations to you Nalant. From now on, you will have a reputation for challenging higher levels. I am afraid no one will dare to call you a weak second son anymore!" Boris also congratulated you.
"I just saw him making trouble for me again and again, so I was forced to take action!" Nalant shook his head. In fact, he really didn't want this reputation. As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. It's really not good to be too famous!
After continuing to chat for a while, after lunch, Nalant and Boris returned to the small building first.
However, the two did not rest immediately, but prepared to go to Tulip City, because Nalant wanted to take a look at the store that belonged to him.
Nalant and Boris led their subordinates directly into Tulip City through another gate of the castle.
When you walk out of the castle gate, there is a huge square outside.
There are not many people in the square, because this area is an area where nobles gather, and civilians rarely dare to hang out here.
Tulip City Although there is no distinction between inner and outer cities, several different gathering areas have naturally formed.
For example, from Tulip Square to the DC area, it is basically a gathering area for nobles.
As for the South City area, because it is close to the main gate of Tulip City, more merchants gather here, and most caravans gather here after entering the city.
As for West City, it has the largest number of civilians gathered there and is considered the poorest area in Tulip City.
The store that Valard compensated Nalant is located in the area where West City and South City meet.
After walking out of the square, they walked straight along Tulip Avenue. It took less than half an hour for them to cross the crowded main street and turn into an alley.
This street is obviously not as wide and clean as the main street. Although there are still many pedestrians on the street, poor civilians wearing rags also begin to appear among the pedestrians.
As we continue to move forward, there are densely packed shops on both sides, most of which sell daily necessities.
"This is it!"
After walking for about five or six minutes, they finally arrived at the location of the store according to the address on the contract.
"This position is a bit deep!"
Nalant was a little speechless. Although it was only five or six minutes away from the main street, the pedestrians nearby were basically ordinary civilians. Although decently dressed businessmen could be seen passing by from time to time, the nobles did not see any of them.
"Nalant, you should be satisfied! The location of this store is actually good. It is close to South City and there are many businessmen passing by here. If you go a little further or in the alleys, it will be a slum!" Boris rolled his eyes and felt like Versailles again.
"Also, do you know how difficult it is to buy a good store in Tulip City?"
"Let's talk about price first. Just say that one of the shops in the square outside the castle is worth hundreds or even thousands of gold coins."
"Even if it's South City, it's impossible to buy a good store without two hundred gold coins."
"Moreover, you can't just buy these shops if you want. Some of them belong to the Earl's own property, and some have been purchased by other nobles long ago. These nobles not only have Tulip Territory's vassals, but also other Earl Territory nobles of all sizes!"
"They won't sell the shop easily. Even if they don't do business, they will only rent it out!"
"So, even if you have money and want to buy it, you still have to see if anyone is willing to sell it!"
"Although your shop is said to be worth sixty or seventy gold coins, because it is close to South City, if you don't pay a hundred gold coins, no one will be willing to sell it. I guess Baron Andrew doesn't want gold coins as compensation, but he wants the shop, and he has the same idea!"
"There is such a thing!" Nalant realized for the first time that in this world, real estate is only available to nobles.
But think about it, Tulip City has hundreds of thousands of people, and it is the center of the entire Tulip Earldom. There are countless caravans from all over the principality coming and going every day. Naturally, such a huge benefit is closely watched by the nobles.
The two of them were talking and had already arrived in front of the store.
The door of the shop is not wide, about 1.5 meters, because of the limitations of the stone house.
In order to better display the products in the store, there are two large windows on both sides of the door. When the wooden boards on the large windows are lifted up, pedestrians can see the products inside outside the door.
The entire interior space of the store is less than thirty square meters.
Fortunately, Nalant saw that the entrances of the surrounding shops looked like night stalls. They put a piece of linen outside the door and then directly occupied the road to operate.
As a result, the usable space of the entire store is equivalent to nearly forty square meters.
"It seems that this store can only be used to sell ordinary goods!" After looking at the surrounding environment, Nalant positioned the store.
That is table salt, Brown Sugar Black Bread, and dried salted fish.
Although the profit of these goods is low, the people passing by are still the audience.
As for the perfumes I originally thought about, I might as well set up a street stall in the square.
With this in mind, Nalant started giving orders to his subordinates.
This time he came with a lot of goods, just for the purpose of this store.
Thanks to his father Andrew's attentiveness, during the initial negotiation, Valard's request was that except for the merchandise, all other shelves and containers should be kept intact, so he could start decorating them directly as soon as he arrived.
Although these wooden cabinets and boxes are not worth much money, they save a lot of trouble.
