80. The first bullet to integrate into the life of the imperial capital

My second meeting with Marquis Ludwig Aston was at the autumn hunting rally held by the Third Prince Eric.

The Angel Boulder Royal Family circled nearly a thousand hectares of mountainous land on the northern slope of Mount Majaro to form a huge hunting ground. Prince Eric found a natural hot spring on this mountain and built a hunting manor at the source of this hot spring. Every autumn, Prince Eric will hold such a hunting party. Prince Eric will invite friends to the manor for a two-day hunting event. This year, Ying Li and I received an invitation from Prince Eric.

The hunting ground is on the northern slope of Mount Majaro. If you take a magic caravan to the Port Town through the Hero Road through the Hero Road, and then go from the Airport Town to the north slope along the mountain road at the foot of Mount Majaro to the north slope, it will take at least five days to travel. However, if you ride a horse to cross the North Mountain of Mount Majaro, you can reach Prince Eric's manor in just one day.

Recently, the courses at the Royal Magic Academy are very tense. In order to avoid the anger of the magic teachers due to absent classes, Ying Li and I chose to cross the North Slope Mountain Road to Prince Eric's manor the day before the hunting rally. Gubolaima is not suitable for walking between the mountain roads, so we chose to ride argali, which is rare on the Didu side. This is one of the favorite mounts of the dwarves. King Stan, one of the seven monarchs of the dwarves, once gave James ten argali, and now it is kept in the beast cliff of the lakeside manor.

Arga is a very docile animal. After being domesticated by dwarves, it becomes a mount that is very suitable for walking among the mountains.

Ying Li, Helena, Becky, Caterina, Little Ella and six of us took a magic caravan through several manor castles in the first block and arrived at the foot of the northern slope of the Majaro crater. We changed to ride arpe at the foot of the foot of the mountain, and found two guides to take us to climb Mount Majaro along the mountain trail, and took us a whole day to reach the manor on the north slope of Prince Eric's mountain.

...

The dusk on the northern slope of Mount Majaro is about an hour later than that of Didu. Standing on the northern slope, the red sun in the distance no longer disappears on the top of the mountains, but gradually sinks under the horizon. This spectacular beauty can only be seen on the outer slope of Mount Majaro.

Prince Eric's manor is built on the hillside of the northern slope of Mount Majaro. On the northern slope of Mount Majaro, there are fir and red pine growing seventy or eighty meters high. Each of these giant trees requires almost five or six people to hold hands to surround them. There are no weeds in the mountains, but clusters of low trees and shrubs. You can always see blueberry trees and lantern fruit trees in the woodland, and of course there are many vines. There are some lilac moss growing on the old bark of the giant trees. There are almost no large carnivorous beasts in this woodland. Beasts such as brown bears and gray wolves have been almost cleaned by members of the Royal Knights. Only some pine-shaped wild boars, elks and deer-friendly animals that are suitable for hunting are kept in hunting grounds.

While riding argali through the forest, I saw some pheasants flying out of the bushes between the woodlands, flying hundreds of meters between the giant trees, and drilling into the bushes in the distance.

This was the first time Ella left Didu. The orc girl was wearing light leather armor and carrying an exquisite alloy bow. The quiver was filled with feather arrows. She hunted several colorful pheasants along the way, tied ropes to the saddle hooks. She talked to Becky in an extremely excited way, occasionally talking about life in the Didu Warrior Academy, occasionally talking about El City when she was a child, or the Pai Plateau in the memory that Kalancho told her.

"One day I will go back to that plateau to see the snowy mountain." Little Ella always said confidently.

The mountain on the north slope is not steep, because there are familiar guides here to guide the way, and the roads you choose are all safe and safe shortcuts, so it is not difficult along the way.

Prince Eric's manor is built at the source of the hot springs. It is a brick-and-wood complex with several independent lofts built along the mountain, distributed next to the steam-walking pool.

If it was summer, there would probably be many mosquitoes and ants poisonous insects growing here, but after late autumn, these mosquitoes either crawled into the soil for winter or froze to death in the cold wind.

Among the princes of Angel Boulder Royal Family, only the third prince Eric especially likes to hold some dances, and hunting gatherings and other activities. Ying Li and I walked into the manor. Prince Eric also brought his servants out of the main building. He quickly walked down the steps and came to Ying Li and me. He squeezed out crow's feet with his smile. He stood straight in front of us in a white shirt and sheepskin vest. He smiled and said to Ying Li and me, "I thought you would take a carriage and take a detour from Mount Majaro, so that you could enjoy some scenery along the way. The scenery outside Mount Majaro is also beautiful in this season."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand, held Ying Li's arm, and asked her to jump off her mount steadily. At this time, a servant came over to take the reins in our hands.

"There are always some magic classes that you have to take in the academy, and this shortcut is also a very good experience." Ying Li leaned against Eric's side and said softly.

Prince Eric walked up to me, slapped me, and said in a very familiar way: "Dinner will take a while to get better. We are making a hunting plan for tomorrow. Should we help us together?"

"Okay!" I said.

Prince Eric asked his servant to take Ying Lizhu's daughter to a separate small attic to rest. The women rushed for a day and couldn't wait to take a hot bath, then change their clothes and rest. As for me, Prince Eric was dragged to the living room of the main building.

As Prince Eric walked into the room, he found that there were many young nobles sitting inside. Some royal members had only met at the Harvest Festival celebration. There were also some young nobles. Everyone was chatting in the room, and some people were sitting at the chess and card table playing cards. The trays held by servants were filled with fine wine. Prince Eric walked into the room and was pulled by several nobles to the front of the sand table model. I followed them. As expected, they were discussing tomorrow's hunting route, and I was not familiar with this mountain, so I just listened to these nobles discussing.

The waiter brought me a tray of various alcoholic beverages. I chose a glass of golden cider in it. This is definitely not because I like to drink it, but because among these alcoholic beverages, I am most familiar with golden cider. At the same time, it is also a unique habit of northerners. I don’t know when it started. Golden cider has become a drink symbolizing the identity of northerners. Many imperial people have a subjective impression: all northerners like to drink golden cider.

Looking around this luxurious living room, there were some trophys left after hunting on the left wall. Among them, one of the brown bear's fur looks like it was a long time ago. A elk skull was covered with strong antlers, and a magic crossbow and a javelin made of iron wood hung on the wall. I walked to the fur of the brown bear with a wine glass, reached out and touched the tips of the brown bear's head, the teeth looked very sharp.

At this moment, Marquis Ludwig Aston appeared beside me. He looked very particular about his clothes when he first met. He wrapped his arm around his chest and his thumb on his other hand shaved his chin with his very neatly repaired beard. His eyes fell on the fur of the brown bear on the wall like me, and said, "Now, this large brown bear can't be found on the northern slope of Mount Majaro. All the dangerous elements have been cleared out by the knights. Now the biggest potential danger in this forest is the steep mountain."

I turned my head and looked at the Marquis of Ludwig Aston standing beside me, and said calmly to him: "Marquis of Aston, do you like hunting, too?"

I attended his dance a few days ago. I did not reveal to him that I wanted to buy a crossbow when I first met, because it was our first time to meet and we had not established basic trust with each other. According to Alia, we had to meet at least three times before we could get the best results. So when I met him this time, I followed his topic.

Marquis Ludwig Aston smiled and said proudly: ◇Lingle Book Network◆ "Hunting is not just a sport for young people, but compared to these small forest beasts, I prefer to hunt second-level monsters such as salamanders and earth bears in the primeval forest. When I was young, I participated in an adventure group and entered the depths of the purple-green mountain range from the northern border of San Carlos Province. It was an unforgettable adventure..."

Marquis Ludwig Aston told me the adventure story of his youth, and we walked to the viewing room next to the living room with floor-to-ceiling windows.

Sitting on a chair by the floor-to-ceiling window, I thought about the Marquis Ludwig Aston, who was really talkative.

Then I talked about my identity as a northerner, and I said to him: "When I was in El City, I also went to the edge of the Ziqing Mountains to hunt a double-headed snail lizard..."

Since I had the same adventure with Marquis Ludwig Aston, we had a very speculative conversation.

"Marte Geeja, I heard people talk about your rune workshop producing magic crossbow arrows?" said Marquis Ludwig Aston.

I was slightly stunned. I didn't expect that he would take the initiative to mention the rune workshop. After hearing his question, I nodded honestly and said, "Well, that's true. At present, I mainly supply some single-attribute giant crossbow arrows to the Nanfeng Legion. You know, I have some relationship in the Nanfeng Legion channel."

After all, this is not a secret. Anyone who is a little concerned about the Magic News knows that I own a rune workshop.

Marquis Ludwig Aston laughed a few times and said, "Haha, you are too modest. I heard that not only the Nanfeng Legion has used the giant crossbow arrows produced by your workshop, but even the Mo Legion and the Dulva Legion have used the magic crossbow arrows produced by your workshop. I wish I could take the liberty. If you have any extra magic giant crossbow arrows, you might as well sell them to me. I also have a great demand for these magic giant crossbow arrows."

I opened my mouth wide and looked at Marquis Ludwig Aston. At that time, I just wanted to buy a crossbow from this marquis. I didn't expect that he actually had a need for my magic giant crossbow arrow. In that case...

"You want to buy some single-attribute giant crossbow arrows?" I could hardly hide my joy, and tried to control the corners of my mouth, and even laughed out loud the next moment.

Marquis Ludwig Aston said solemnly: "If the price is right, the double-attribute giant crossbow arrows are OK."

I heard that he wanted to buy a dual-attribute giant crossbow arrow, so I was much calmer. The dual-attribute magic giant crossbow arrow has always been intercepted and used by me. If I had no choice, I would not be willing to sell it, so I said tactfully: "Well, the dual-attribute arrow is currently not high, and the cost has not been reduced. The price is a bit expensive, and the cost performance is far less than the single-attribute penetration arrow and armor-breaking arrow."

Marquis Ludwig Aston asked me curiously: "Everyone says that the price of magic giant crossbow arrows in your place is very... very fair, but I haven't found out that it's really the price."

I have nothing to hide from this. The single-attribute giant crossbow arrows sold to the South Wind Legion and Louis are all clearly marked with price. Therefore, I said: "A penetrating arrow arrow with the 'penetrating' attribute is twenty silver coins, and an armor-breaking arrow arrow with the 'sharp' attribute is a silver coins. These two magic attributes are combined into one, one magic crystal. "

Marquis Ludwig Aston's eyes became particularly bright. He kept thinking about it. After a while, he said to me: "Well, the price of the magic crossbow arrows sold in the Didu magic market is about three or four times lower. If you calculate this, the war cost of using magic crossbow arrows is actually affordable. I just don't know how to buy your magic crossbow arrows? You probably also know that I own the largest bed crossbow workshop in the north of Green Didu, and there is also a great demand for these magic giant crossbow arrows. I know that your giant crossbow arrows have a fixed sales channel, but I want to participate. I heard that you also have a great demand for bed crossbows. If possible, I want to use bed crossbows to replace the magic giant crossbow arrows in your hand."

As for the equivalent replacement of the Marquis of Ludwig Aston, this is actually what I hoped for, but I hesitated a little and said to him: "The magic giant crossbow arrows I sell are all cost-prices, because there is something to do with it! Can your bed crossbow be replaced with me at cost-prices..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at Prince Eric's manor, I reached a cooperation intention with Marquis Ludwig Aston. Marquis Aston also agreed very readily to provide me with a cost-priced bed crossbow. Finally, we signed a magic contract on the spot. Three thousand single-attribute giant crossbow arrows can be replaced with a brand new bed crossbow. If I don't want the car-mounted part under the bed crossbow, the number of single-attribute giant crossbow arrows can be reduced to two thousand...
