The Founding Day of Torrent Castle – [Monthly Ticket Extra 5/10]_2 1177: 398.
The Founding Day of Torrent Castle – [Monthly Ticket Extra 5/10]_2 Tepar made up a story on the spot:
“Even the great lords from another world who could fight a hundred enemies alone would be stripped of the power of the Holy Light’s blessing after responding to the summoning and entering the New World.
But this is nothing to us.
We will face challenges head-on, grow quickly, and eventually find our strength again, and we will spread the virtues of the Holy Light here.”
“Is that so?”
Miss Biqi nodded her head, seeming to accept this explanation, then poked her own cheek and exclaid as if she had just realized sothing,
“No wonder you all grow so fast!
I heard from my grandfather that you generally break through the Black Iron Trial within a month.
Such mass promotion is simply a miracle.”
“Yes, that’s the reason.
The rules between worlds are ultimately different, and though we’ve lost our strength, our talent as strong individuals still exists.”
Uncle Ferdin hurriedly patched things up before he coughed and said,
“However, Miss Biqi, since you co from the renowned Xie Wei’er Family, we have a sowhat inconvenient request.
As you can see, the Knights Group is just starting to rebuild in Transia.
Lord Monmolfy’s favor has bestowed upon us a piece of undeveloped land as our base, and we are confident that we can build up Torrent Castle.
However, the knights are still in dire need of various supplies.
The Cadman People’s Army extended a helping hand to us, but the weapons and armor they use do not conform to the precepts of the Holy Light, and we urgently need true knightly equipnt to rearm ourselves.
Therefore, if possible, we hope to use your connections to urgently purchase a batch of equipnt from the Xie Wei’er Family, including combat armor plates, knight horse gear, as well as war hamrs and greatswords that fit our beliefs.”
“We will pay the market price.”
Tepar added,
“The teachings of the Holy Light do not allow us to take advantage of our fellow travelers, rest assured, this transaction is just asking you to be an interdiary without any other implications.”
“Hey, you’re overthinking it.”
Although rough around the edges, Biqi was not foolish.
She quickly grasped Tepar’s implications; this knight a head taller than her was afraid she would further speculate.
It seems they truly cared about their dignity and honor.
“My father has always sought to open our family business to more avenues of trade.
He would only be happy to receive an order from Transia and to have another partner; he wouldn’t think otherwise.
So, how many sets of equipnt do you need?”
The Knightess of the Xie Wei’er Family asked:
“Also, what style and specifications do you need?
Our family’s armor cos in several levels.
The lowest level ‘Cavalry’ and the highest level ‘General’ differ in price by tenfold.
This suit of armor I’m wearing is part of the ‘General’ series, high-quality armor plates made after the introduction of hydraulic forging machines from Cape Workshop.
If needed, we can also enchant your armor, and each set of General armor plates cos with a set of weapons of the sa quality.”
“Uh, the light of wealth emanating from this luxurious armor plate you’re wearing is enough to blind us poor knights, I dare not boldly inquire the price for fear of upsetting my poor wallet and causing my heart to stop from the shock,”
Tepar mockingly sighed:
“As you can see, the Knights Group is just beginning to rebuild, so we can only order the lowest level of armor plates and gear, we need 150 sets for the first batch along with matching war hamrs.
However, we have strict requirents for the style of the armor and the design of the weapons.
They must strictly adhere to the armor style of the Silver Hand Knights Group and engrave the holy precepts on the armor and weapons.”
“That will incur an extra charge.”
The Knight of LiWen next to her, who indeed deserves to be the estate manager for the Blonde Knightess, had already taken out her notebook and started recording the custor’s requests.
This black-haired and black-eyed knightess seriously said:
“Considering your current numbers, I think 150 sets are a bit much.
100 sets would be more appropriate.
The Xie Wei’er Family’s armor plates are famous throughout the Human World for being reliable and durable.
As long as they are maintained by a qualified blacksmith, they can last until the end of the Black Disaster.”
“No, at least 150 sets.”
Uncle Ferdin shook his head,
“The Grand Duke of Cui Si made a Spiritual Energy prediction, saying that in the coming months, the gates to the Otherworld Summoning will be very stable, and we will receive continual elite reinforcents in Transia.
150 sets is just a conservative number…”
“Then let’s make it 300 sets!”
Knight LiWen suggested with a grand gesture:
“With 300 sets, you can enjoy the Xie Wei’er Family’s product discounts, and given the face of Old Mister Kudell and Miss Biqi, the family workshop will probably give you a 20% discount.
It will only cost around forty thousand Gold Coins, and if you also wish to purchase horse gear, sixty thousand Gold Coins should suffice.”
“Sixty thousand?”
Uncle Ferdin and Tepar looked at each other.
That number was indeed frightening.
Currently, the Torrent Knights’ funds barely totaled 5,000, even after everyone enthusiastically participated in the “Transia Census” event and saved so liquid funds.
However, the two of them weren’t worried, after reaching a verbal agreent with Miss Biqi and Lady LiWen, Uncle Ferdin left Tepar in the tent to satisfy Miss Biqi’s curiosity with the “stories” of the Holy Light and the Silver Hand Knights Group, while he himself quickly left the tent and used the Calculating Pearl to contact the “lenders” among the current players.
“What?
Sixty thousand Gold Coins?
That’s a lot!
I don’t have that much either.”
