TOV35

The station of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce in Ice Rock City is located in the center of the east of the city.

The site area is quite large, and the facade is also quite luxurious.

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

"Hey. You passed the prize." Oliver couldn't hide his expression. "This is very close to the sky ice field. Most of our chamber of commerce and troll transactions are transferred from Ice Rock City. Therefore, this place is actually second only to the headquarters of our Chamber of Commerce."

Right, although the North Territory and the trolls are about to get their heads out, the trade between the two sides has never stopped.

War belongs to war, and trade belongs to trade.

These are two different things.

After all, the benefits involved are too great, even the nobles in the north are unwilling to terminate the trade with the trolls.

Of course, not just a businessman can be qualified for this kind of foreign trade.

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

"Where is the headquarters of your chamber of commerce?"

"Fallen Eagle City."

Oliver named a city that Colin knew very well.

Wasn't Fallen Eagle City the same city where Colin's sister married away, and the lord there was Earl Uman.

It turned out that the background of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce turned out to be him.

Colin's look was a bit playful.

He has always suspected that the assassination against him was instigated by Earl Uman behind the scenes. Since the great noble behind the Tulip Chamber of Commerce may also be Earl Uman, he is now following Oliver into the opponent's sphere of influence with such a big swing.

However, Colin was not too worried.

Earl Uman would not be so stupid to assassinate a baron heir within his own sphere of influence.

"Master Oliver, you are really alive! I heard that you went to Mirror Lake camp and thought..."

As soon as he walked in, a little girl with freckles excitedly yelled at Oliver.

Oliver nodded reservedly: "Of course I am alive. Go and find Jack. An adult needs him to help make a party dress."

The girl with freckles was embarrassed: "Sorry, Lord Oliver, Mr. Jack was recruited into the castle by the Sudor family, saying that they wanted him to design a dress for the adults attending the banquet."

Oliver was stunned, then turned to Colin and said, "Master Colin, I think that the Sudor family has arranged it long ago. I think you will be invited to the castle to adjust the size soon..."

"Really?" Colin sneered.

He would not think that the crazy woman would kindly ask someone to help him make a dress.

Even he already had a hunch, that this is probably a small means which Cynthia used to deliberately retaliate against him.

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

"I heard that all the slightly famous tailors in the city have been recruited. Many of the adults attending the banquet this time seemed to have no dresses with them because they went out in a hurry, so the Sudor family was planning to concentrate on making them."

Really.

At this time, Colin was finally convinced that this mad woman wanted him to make a fool of himself with the issue of the dress.

Seeing Colin's silence, the freckled girl kindly suggested: "This lord, if you need to make a dress, Mr. Jack's apprentice is still in the shop, maybe he can help you..."  

"Apprentice?" Colin still didn't speak, and Oliver scolded loudly, "Let the trifling guy make a dress for a nobleman? Are your brain flooded?"

The freckled girl shrank her head and dared not speak aggrievedly.

Colin would also worry about handing over the making of the dress to an apprentice tailor.

Of course, he would never go to the Sudor family's castle to beg that mad woman.

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

Colin rubbed his chin. After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked, "Do you have armor for sale in your store?"

"Of course!" Oliver hurriedly said loudly, "Please follow me."

Colin followed Oliver to a room and looked at it. It was full of various armors.

"My lord, here are all fine items collected by our Chamber of Commerce. There are plate armor, chain armor, and even enchanted armor..."

"Enchanted armor?" Colin suddenly became interested.

The so-called enchantment is a means to depict the magic circle on the surface of the armor, and then ask the mage to enchant the magic circle so that the armor has various arcane characteristics.

This is not a simple matter.

First of all, it requires an extremely high level of forging to depict the complex arrays on the armor. Secondly, the cost of enchanting by the mages is also extremely expensive.

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

The set of armor that belonged to Colin in Greycastle was not enchanted, and the only set of enchanted armor of the Angele family was of course worn on his father.

It's a pity that the enchanted armor died with his father, and it should have become the trophy of the trolls.

Therefore, Colin enthusiastically followed Oliver's guidance and came to the only enchanted armor in the room.

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

"This armor is enchanted by the fourth-order magic circle [Frost Blessing]. When attacked, it can burst out a frost impact, causing damage to the attacker." Oliver explained to the side.

Fourth-order magic circle!

Colin remembered that the enchanted armor passed down by the Angele family only depicted a second-order magic circle.

"How much is this enchanted armor?" Colin was moved.

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

"How much?" Colin looked incredulous.

You know, the annual tax for the entire Angele family fief is only three thousand gold coins.

In other words, even if the Angele family didn't eat or drink for ten years, they couldn't afford this armor.

No wonder the second-tier enchanted armor set of the Angele family was regarded as a family heirloom.

Colin reluctantly glanced at this enchanted armor, then decisively turned around.

This is not something he can afford.

And even if he bought it, I'm afraid it can't be maintained.

"What's this set?" Colin asked, changing to another set of armor without enchantment.

"This set costs two thousand gold coins."

Colin took a breath.

However, he also knows that this exquisitely crafted armor is generally not cheap.

"Can I pay the deposit first? I will notify Greycastle of the balance and let someone send it."

Oliver heard the words, thought about it for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said: "Master Colin if you have fancy this armor, I can give it to you for free!"

"Free?" Colin smiled playfully.

He doesn't believe that there are free things in this world.

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

"That's right." Oliver said in a deep voice, "I accidentally damaged your relationship with the Sudor family. Therefore, this armor is my apology to you."

Sure enough, after returning to the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, the fat man began to find ways to get out of Colin's control.

This "free" armor is actually Oliver's redemption fee.

"Good! I accept your apology."

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

Afterwards, he found paper and pen to draw a roaring bear head, and behind it was a kite shield with thorns.

"You help me engrave the Angele family badge and deliver it to my residence within three days."

"Ok."

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

"Master Colin, about the party dress..." Oliver reminded kindly.

"I already have a solution for the dress, you don't have to worry about it."

Colin turned his head and showed an inscrutable smile.
