"Twenty-two million one hundred and ten thousand gold coins." Kael repeated the figure, somewhat disappointed.
He had thought that, given the boldness Great Xia had shown and their relationship, this order would be about the same as the Dwarves'.
But the result... was not even half the Dwarves' fifty-one-million-gold-coin order.

"I'll oversee this personally and have the supplies you've purchased delivered
