Chapter 35: Armor

The Tulip Chamber of Commerce's station in Bingyan City is located in the center of the east side of the city.

This station covers a large area and has a very luxurious facade.

"Your Tulip Chamber of Commerce is developing well here."

"Hehe. You're flattered." Oliver couldn't hide his expression. "This place is very close to the Sky Ice Field. Most of our Chamber of Commerce's transactions with the trolls have to be transferred through Ice Rock City. Therefore, this place is actually second only to the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters. Stop."

That's right, although the North and the Trolls are about to beat their brains out, the trade between the two sides has never stopped.

War is war, and trade is trade.

These are two different things.

After all, the interests involved were too great, and even the nobles in the north were unwilling to end their trade with the trolls.

Of course, not just any businessman can be qualified to conduct this kind of foreign trade.

The Tulip Chamber of Commerce can take a share of the pie, obviously there is a background.

"Where is your chamber of commerce headquartered?"

"Falling Eagle City."

Oliver named a city that was very familiar to Colin.

Falling Eagle City is the city where Sister Colin married, and the lord there is Count Uman.

It turns out that the background of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce is actually him.

Colin's expression was a little playful.

He has always suspected that Count Uman was behind the assassination. Since the nobleman behind the Tulip Chamber of Commerce may also be Count Uman, does it count as self-indulgence for him to follow Oliver into the opponent's sphere of influence with such arrogance? Fall into a trap?

However, Colin was not too worried.

Count Uman would not be stupid enough to assassinate a baron heir within his own sphere of influence, otherwise he would definitely be involved.

"Master Oliver, it's great that you're okay! I heard that you went to Mirror Lake Camp, and I thought..."

As soon as he entered the door, a little girl with freckles shouted excitedly at Oliver.

Oliver nodded reservedly: "Of course I'm fine. Go find Jack. An adult needs his help in making a party dress."

But the freckled girl looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Lord Oliver, Mr. Jack was recruited into the castle by someone from the Sudo family, saying that he wanted to design dresses specifically for the adults attending the banquet."

This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Oliver was stunned for a moment, then turned back to Colin and said: "Lord Colin, I didn't expect that the Sudo family had already made arrangements. I think you will be invited to the castle to measure the size soon..."

"Really?" Colin sneered.

He didn't think that crazy woman would be kind enough to ask someone to make a dress for him.

He even had a hunch that this might be a small way for Cynthia to deliberately retaliate against him.

Thinking of this, Colin asked the freckled girl: "Do you know how many tailors the Sudo family invited to the castle?"

"I heard that all the famous tailors in the city have been hired away. Many of the adults attending the banquet this time did not seem to have brought their dresses because they were in a hurry, so the Suduo family is preparing to rush to make them."

really.

Now Colin was finally convinced that the crazy woman most likely wanted him to make a fool of himself over the dress issue.

Seeing Colin's silence, the freckled girl kindly suggested: "Sir, if you need to make a dress, Mr. Jack's apprentice is still in the shop. He may be able to help you..."

"Apprentice?" Before Colin could speak, Oliver shouted loudly, "Let that sloppy guy make a dress for a nobleman? Are you out of your mind?"

The freckled girl shrank her head, feeling aggrieved and afraid to speak.

Colin would also be wary of leaving the making of the dress to an apprentice tailor.

Of course, he would not go to the Sudo family's castle to beg that crazy woman.

So, how do you find a suitable dress in such a short time?

Colin rubbed his chin, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly asked: "Do you sell any armor in your store?"

"Of course!" Oliver shouted quickly, "Please come with me."

Colin followed Oliver to a room, and at a glance, it was filled with all kinds of armor.

"Sir, here are the fine products collected by our Chamber of Commerce. There are plate armors, chain armors, and even enchanted armors..."

"And enchanted armor?" Colin suddenly became interested.

The so-called enchanting is to carve a magic circle on the surface of the armor, and then ask a mage to enchant the magic circle so that the armor has various arcane properties.

This is no simple matter.

First of all, it requires an extremely high level of forging to carve complex magic circles onto armor. Secondly, the cost of enchanting by a mage is also extremely expensive.

Therefore, a set of enchanted armor can often sell for a sky-high price.

Colin's own set of armor that he left behind in Gray Castle was not enchanted, and the only set of enchanted armor owned by the Angelet family was of course worn by his father.

Unfortunately, that set of enchanted armor probably became the troll's trophy after his father died in the battle.

Therefore, Colin followed Oliver's guidance with great interest and came to the only set of enchanted armor in the room.

This is a set of pure white armor, engraved with gorgeous and mysterious lines, exuding a faint cold aura.

"This set of armor is enchanted with the fourth-level magic circle [Frost Blessing]. When attacked, it can erupt with frost shock, causing damage to the attacker." Oliver explained at the side.

Fourth level magic circle!

Colin remembered that the set of enchanted armor inherited from the Angele family only had a second-order magic circle engraved on it.

"How much does this set of enchanted armor cost?" Colin was excited.

Oliver turned back and murmured to an old blacksmith for a moment, and then quoted a sky-high price: "Fifty thousand gold coins."

"How much?" Colin looked in disbelief.

You know, the annual tax revenue of the entire Angele family fiefdom is only three thousand gold coins.

In other words, even if the Angelet family did not eat or drink for ten years, they still could not afford this set of armor.

No wonder the Angelet family's set of second-level enchanted armor is regarded as a family heirloom.

Colin glanced at the enchanted armor longingly, then turned around decisively.

It's not something he can afford.

And even if you buy it by selling it, I'm afraid you won't be able to maintain it.

"Where's this one?" Colin asked as he changed into another set of armor without enchantment.

"This set of two thousand gold coins."

Colin took a deep breath, his body ached.

However, he also knew that such exquisitely crafted armor would generally not be cheap.

"Can I pay a deposit first? I will notify Graycastle for the balance and have it delivered."

After hearing this, Oliver thought for a moment and then gritted his teeth and said: "Master Colin, if you like this set of armor, I can give it to you for free!"

"Free?" Colin smiled playfully.

He didn't believe there was anything free in this world.

Everything has a price, but some costs are not in the form of money.

"That's right." Oliver said solemnly, "I accidentally destroyed your relationship with the Sudo family before, and even caused you to be injured. Therefore, this armor is my apology to you."

Sure enough, after returning to the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, the fat man began to think of ways to escape from Colin's control.

This "free" armor is actually Oliver's ransom payment.

"Okay! I accept your apology."

Seeing that Oliver's apology was fairly sincere, Colin decided not to pursue the previous matter.

Then, he found a pen and paper and drew a roaring bear head looking up to the sky, with a kite shield emblem with some thorn patterns on the back.

"You can help me engrave the emblem of the Angele family on it and deliver it to my residence within three days."

"OK."

After the explanation, Colin was ready to get up and leave.

"Lord Colin, about the banquet dress..." Oliver reminded kindly.

"I've already taken care of the dress, so you don't have to worry about it."

Colin turned back and showed an incomprehensible smile.
