Tulip Chamber of Commerces stationed point in Ice Rock City is located at the center of the citys east side.
The area occupied by this stationed point is quite large, with a rather extravagant facade.
Your Tulip Chamber of Commerce seems to be doing well here.
Hehe. Youre too kind. Oliver couldnt hide his delight, We are close to Sky Ice Plain here, and most of our trade with the Trolls has to be transshipped through Ice Rock City, so this place is actually a station second only to our company headquarters.
Thats right, even though the North Territory and the Trolls are nearly at each others throats, trade between the two sides has never stopped.
War is war, and trade is trade.
They are two different matters.
After all, there are too many interests involved here. Even the nobles of the North Territory are unwilling to terminate their trade with the Trolls.
Of course, not every merchant qualifies to conduct such foreign trade.
That the Tulip Chamber of Commerce has a share in it obviously means they have some powerful backing.
Where is your company headquarters located?
Fallen Eagle City.
Oliver uttered a city name that Colin was very familiar with.
Isnt Fallen Eagle City the city where Colins sister is married off to, and there the Lord is Count Uman?
Turns out the power backing the Tulip Chamber of Commerce was him.
Colin looked somewhat intrigued.
He had been suspecting that the assassination attempt on him was orchestrated by Count Uman. Since the high noble possibly backing the Tulip Chamber of Commerce might also be Count Uman, was he now walking into the lions den by openly following Oliver into the latters turf?
However, Colin was not overly worried.
Count Uman wouldnt be foolish enough to assassinate a Baron heir in his own turf where he would definitely be implicated.
Mr. Oliver, Im so glad youre okay! I heard you went to the Mirror Lake Camp, I thought
Just as they entered, a small freckled girl excitedly shouted at Oliver.
Oliver nodded gracefully, Of course, Im fine. Go find Jack, a lord needs his help with a banquet ceremonial dress.
However, the freckle-faced girl looked troubled, Im sorry, Mr. Oliver, Sir Jack was summoned into the castle by the Sudor Family. They said he is to design ceremonial dresses specifically for the lords attending the banquet.
Oliver was stunned, then turned to Colin and said, Lord Colin, I hadnt expected the Sudor Family to arrange this already. I suppose, you will likely soon be invited to the castle for dress measurements
Really? Colin sneered.
He didnt believe for a moment that the madwoman would kindly arrange for someone to help him make a ceremonial dress.
In fact, he had an ominous feeling that this was likely a petty means Cynthia used to deliberately retaliate against him.
Thinking of this, Colin asked the freckle-faced girl, Do you know how many tailors the Sudor Family has invited into the castle?
I heard that all the somewhat reputable tailors in the city have been summoned. Many of the lords attending the banquet seem to have not brought their ceremonial dresses due to their hurried departure, so the Sudor Family is preparing to mass-produce them.
As expected.
At this point, Colin was finally convinced that the madwoman was likely trying to make him look bad over the ceremonial dress issue.
Seeing Colins silence, the freckle-faced girl kindly suggested, My lord, if you need to make a ceremonial dress, Sir Jacks apprentice is still in the shop, he might be able to help you
Apprentice? Before Colin could respond, Oliver scolded loudly, You want that clumsy nave to make a ceremonial dress for a noble? Have you lost your mind? The freckle-faced girl shrunk back, not daring to say another word.
Colin certainly wouldnt feel secure letting a tailors apprentice handle the making of his ceremonial dress.
Of course, he wouldnt go to the Sudor Familys castle either, nor ask that madwoman for help.
So, how should he acquire a suitable ceremonial dress in such a short period of time?
Colin stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and all of a sudden, asked, Do you sell armor in your shop?
Of course! Oliver promptly replied, Please follow me, my lord.
Colin followed Oliver into a room, where all sorts of armor were laid in front of him.
My lord, these are all fine selections collected by our Chamber of Commerce, we have plate armor, chainmail, even enchanted armor
Is there an enchanted armor? Colin suddenly showed interest.
The so-called enchantment refers to a method of inscribing a magic array on the surface of the armor, then asking a mage to enchant the array to give the armor various arcane properties.
This is not a simple matter.
First, it requires a superb forging level to carve complex magical arrays into the armor. Second, the cost of a mages enchantment is extremely expensive.
Therefore, a set of enchanted armor can usually be sold at sky-high prices.
The set of armor that Colin left in Grey Castle belongs to him and its not enchanted, and the only set of enchanted armor in the Angler family is worn by his father.
Unfortunately, that set of enchanted armor, along with his father who died in the battle, probably became a trophy of the trolls.
Therefore, Colin followed Olivers direction with interest and came to the only set of enchanted armor in the room.
Its a set of pure white armor adorned with gorgeous and mysterious lines, discharging a faint icy chill.
This set of armor is enchanted with the fourth-order magic array [Blessing of Frost], which can burst out a frost shock when attacked, causing damage to the attacker, Oliver explained on the side.
Fourth-order magic array!
Colin remembered that the inherited enchanted armor from the Angler family was carved with a second-order magic array.
How much is this enchanted armor? Colin was intrigued.
Oliver turned his head and whispered with an old blacksmith for a moment, then quoted a sky-high price: Fifty thousand gold coins.
How much? Colins face was full of disbelief.
To know, the entire annual tax revenue of the Angler familys fiefdom is only three thousand gold coins.
That is to say, even if the Angler family didnt eat or drink for ten years, they still couldnt afford this set of armor.
No wonder the Angler family regarded their second-order enchanted armor as a family heirloom.
Colin reluctantly took a look at this set of enchanted armor and then decisively turned around.
This was not something he could afford.
And even if he sold his everything to buy it, he probably couldnt maintain it.
How about this one? Colin asked, changing to another set of non-enchanted armor.
This one costs two thousand gold coins.
Colin took a breath of cold air, feeling a little pain.
However, he also knew that such finely crafted armor, in general, wouldnt be cheap.
Can I pay a deposit first? I will notify Grey Castle to send the remaining payment.
After a moment of thought, Oliver gritted his teeth and said: Lord Colin, if you like this armor, I can offer it to you for free!
Free? Colin smiled with interest.
He didnt believe there was something for free in this world.
Everything has a price; it just happens that some prices are not represented in the form of money.
Yes. Oliver solemnly said, I accidentally ruined your relationship with the Sudor family and caused you to get hurt. So, let this armor be my apology to you.
Indeed, after returning to the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, this fat man started to plan how to free himself from Colins control.
This free armor, in fact, is the price of Olivers redemption.
Fine! I accept your apology.
Seeing that Olivers apology seemed sincere, Colin decided not to pursue the matter further.
Then, he got some paper and a pen to draw a roaring bears head with a yuen shield emblem that had some thorny patterns behind it.
Help me engrave the emblem of the Angler family on it, and deliver it to my residence within three days.
Alright.
After giving the instructions, Colin was ready to leave.
Lord Colin, about the ceremonial dress for the banquet Oliver kindly reminded him.
Ive already got a plan for the ceremonial dress; you dont need to worry.
Colin turned around, revealing an inscrutable smile..
