Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 27 Transaction

Bruno saw the change in Kallio's expression, and naturally understood what Kallio was thinking of.

But it's no wonder, because the Idar Territory is indeed very close to the Kingdom of Basel, with only the Mann Fortress blocking it.

"I just... wonder how much sugar you can sell me?"

"The quantity may be relatively small this time, so I can only give you twenty pounds first." Bruno said.

It's not that Bruno doesn't want to produce more sugar, but because there are only so many ready-made beets in Idar. Although he has ordered people to go out to purchase them, they can't be shipped back so quickly.

"Twenty pounds?!"

Kallio was shocked. You know, the market price of a pound of sugar is generally not less than ten gold coins! Far more expensive than table salt! It is a luxury product that only noble gentlemen can enjoy!

In the more remote northern part of the empire, the price of a pound of sugar can even reach twenty gold coins, and it is not impossible to sell it for twenty-five gold coins!

You know, an ordinary civilian family in the Norman Empire only spent three gold coins a year.

The price of a pound of sugar is already equivalent to the combined annual income of several civilian families.

"Can I... see the real thing?" Kallio said in a trembling voice.

"sure."

After that, he ordered Liszt to bring a tray, which contained about a pound of sugar.

Kallio carefully dipped his hand into it, and almost as soon as he entered his mouth, a hint of sweetness lingered on his tongue.

"It's so sweet...this is the best white sugar!" Kallio praised.

"Fifteen gold coins, Lord Bruno, I am willing to buy these sugars at fifteen gold coins per catty."

"make a deal."

In Bruno's view, the price offered by Kallio was already considered very high. After all, fifteen gold coins were almost the same as the market price of sugar in most areas, not to mention that he had to pay for transportation and various other things. Miscellaneous expenses can even be regarded as making money at a loss.

As for Kallio, he must make friends with this young earl no matter what. If he can obtain a steady supply of goods in the Idar Territory in the future, his business will be guaranteed.

"Mr. Kallio, I want to ask you for some information." Bruno asked after the deal was concluded.

"Just ask, I will definitely tell you everything." Kallio said quickly.

"Do you know where I can find a better carving master?"

"Master Sculptor?"

"Yes, they are master carvers who carve statues or carve patterns on stone pillars. As you know, the eastern part of the empire is remote and desolate, and the transportation conditions are very inconvenient. It is very difficult to find a master carver with superb skills. "

"Speaking of master carvers, I happen to know one."

"Oh? Tell me quickly." Bruno asked quickly.

You know, he basically lacks everything to build the hanging garden. The only thing he lacks is the master carver responsible for carving statues or patterns. Although the stonemasons in the territory can barely do it, they have to work with the specialized carving masters. Not even close.

The system awards rewards based on the grandeur of the spectacle, and Bruno doesn't want to miss out on such small details.

"A few days ago, when I was preparing to pass through the Valley of Thorns, I happened to meet Master Andy from the Kingdom of Basel. He was originally invited by a certain noble noble to carve stone statues, but I didn't expect that he wouldn't arrive there before. , the great nobleman passed away, and then he planned to return to the Kingdom of Basel in a depressed manner. Master Andy walked slower than me, and I estimate that we should return to the Kingdom of Basel through Idar in the next few days..."

Hearing this, Bruno was happy. He was in need of a master sculptor!

"If there is nothing else, I will leave first," Kallio said.

"See you next time, Mr. Kallio." Bruno stood up and said goodbye.

After Kallio left, Bruno then ordered: "Liszt, find old Ford immediately and tell him that I have important matters to discuss with him."

"Yes, sir." Liszt replied quickly.

…

It was already afternoon when Sam Layton, the captain of the Guards, received the order from Bruno.

After carefully reading the orders on the parchment, he burned the parchment, and then rushed out of Idar City with dozens of bodyguards.

The direction they were going was the Valley of Thorns.

…

Stranglethorn Vale.

Andy, the old carving master, was half lying on the rickety carriage. He was accompanied by seven young people, all of whom were Andy's carving apprentices.

Because of Master Andy's health, the carriage moved very slowly and could only cover a dozen miles in an hour.

"Good..."

"Teacher, I'm here." Good is Master Andy's favorite student and has a high talent for sculpture.

"Where are you now?"

"Replying to the teacher, if you walk a few steps forward, you will be out of the Valley of Thorns. After passing through the Idar Territory, and walking south for a few days, you will reach the border between the Norman Empire and the Kingdom of Basel..."

Before he finished speaking, an arrow was seen shooting from a distance and firmly nailed on the path of the carriage.

Everyone was shocked, and then they realized that the road ahead was blocked by dozens of cavalry. UU reading www.uukanshu.net

"Don't panic..." Although Andy was surprised, he had lived for most of his life after all, so he was not as panicked as his apprentices.

"Is this Master Andy here?"

Among the cavalry blocking the road, the leader said loudly.

"I am," Andy responded.

This line of cavalry is the personal guard sent by Bruno. According to Bruno's instructions, Master Andy must be "invited" to Idar territory no matter what...

I saw Sam Layton shouting loudly: "We are... the bodyguards of Earl Sauron! Our lord wants to invite Master Andy to be a guest, and we hope that Master Andy will not refuse..."

"Count Sauron?" Andy asked the apprentice Good next to him with some confusion: "Who is Earl Sauron? Have we passed through Earl Sauron's territory?"

At this time, Goode also looked confused: "Earl Sauron's territory should be to the north of Idar Territory, how could he come here..."

"Don't make random guesses. When I say they are Earl Sauron's personal guards, they are actually Earl Sauron's personal guards. They have nothing to do with Lord Bruno of Idar..." Sam Layton said.

Andy and Goode looked at each other, feeling that...this bodyguard's head was not working well...

Isn’t this self-inflicted?

"Hey! Are you coming with me? If you don't come with me, I will kill you!" Sam threatened.

"Teacher?" Good looked at Andy, his eyes revealing the meaning of inquiry.

"This guy's head doesn't seem to be working very well. Let's just follow him, otherwise he might really leave us here..." Andy said helplessly.

"Let's go with you..." Andy said helplessly towards Sam.
