Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 96
The butler first took a list for Rand, which stated the location of the grain depot, the price of the old grain, and the certificate with the seal of the Earl of Maned Wolf, and then found a young servant to take Rand to the mane with the key. Wolf City is on Langya Street, which is two streets away from the Earl's Mansion.

There are less than ten courtyards on this street, and each courtyard covers an area of ​​more than ten acres. It is the residence of various vassals in the Northwest Territory in the Maned Wolf City. The plots of these courtyards are built from the Maned Wolf City. It was already arranged at the beginning.

The Northwest Territory faces the Benma Plain to the north, the large rainforest to the south, and the edge of the Central Forest to the west. Although it is divided into a border territory by the Dragon Kingdom, the space for expansion is very limited. If the Benma Kingdom was not destroyed 300 years ago , Rotor collar and galloping horse collar will not be established.

The courtyards of the two territories of Rott and Benma are located at the edge of the entire street. They are surrounded by a 3-story main building and surrounded by 2 subsidiary 4-story buildings. The first floor of the main building is 10 meters high, and the second and third floors The storey heights of the buildings are all 6 meters, while each floor of the ancillary buildings does not exceed 2 meters. Therefore, although the annex buildings have more floors, the total height is shorter.

Although the number and height of the buildings are the same, Rotor's yard is more than Galloping Horse's, and the area of ​​each building is also larger. The two courtyards were originally only separated by a wall. The wall in the middle was removed and a pool was changed.

The servant of the maned wolf's family took Rand around the courtyard, and then explained to Rand about the buildings, servants and surrounding facilities in the courtyard, and then left.

After finding someone to send the servant away, Lant went up to the lord's room and basement of the main building of Rott in the courtyard to check if there was a secret compartment or treasure box left by the previous viscount.

Not to mention, Rand found "change" of less than 100 gold coins and some small items such as alchemy items and enchanted knives, but other than that, there were no valuable items.

Rand played with a threaded knife with a lacquered handle and a magic pattern, guessing that it was a gift from Viscount Bob to please the flower of the maned wolf.

Instead of staying in the yard, Ranter took several subordinates to the caravan station outside the city. Whether it was the station outside the city that the Earl sold to Ranter or the old grain, they needed to go out of the city today to handle it.

About two hours later, Rand brought the entire caravan to the station smoothly. This used to be the location of the local chamber of commerce for Viscount Bob Root's caravan. The market and the main road in and out of the city are very close, so it can be said to be a very good commercial plot.

The Chamber of Commerce itself is also a yard of several acres, with a four-story main building and two outbuildings, as well as four large warehouses, horses, wells and cellars.

There are still some old grains and chaff left in the four warehouses, but according to the account books kept in the basement of the main building of the chamber of commerce, at least hundreds of kilograms of salt and hundreds of cubic meters of wood are missing from the warehouses.

But after all, Bob knew the maned wolf family well. In the account books, Rand found that the established courtyard also had an underground warehouse, which was built in the basement of Huck's courtyard, but it could only be accessed from the cellar of Bob's courtyard.

According to the account book, in the courtyard of the city, Viscount Bob deposited 20 sets of magic-weave armors in advance as goods to be delivered to the capital. A black-scaled horse and 100 sets of magic-weave armor. These things can only be brought to the capital by other families.

. . . . . .

After Rand arranged the caravan and sent Neil to take the earl's certificate to the earl's warehouse to pick up food, Rand took Houndtooth and Wendy to a nearby market for shopping.

In his previous life, Rand liked to go to the market very much. He used to work and live in a foreign country for several years. Once in a different world market.

The main street where the market is located is only two streets away from Rand’s chamber of commerce. The appearance of the street is very similar to the farmer’s market in the south of Rand’s hometown. There are a variety of shops on both sides of a street. Many of the shops have very low roofs. Or, the outer windows of the shop are completely opened, and the goods in the house can be seen from the street.

If the market that Rand came to was mainly for daily necessities, food, and vegetables, ordinary demon possessors would disdain to come here to buy things, and all the people walking on the street would be non-magic people.

So when Rand appeared at the entrance of Market Street with a few barbarian soldiers in iron armor, the whole street fell silent, and both customers and shopkeepers were looking at Rand.

Soon a demon owner came to greet him, asking if a certain shop in the street had offended Rand.

Rand was a little bit dumbfounded, and clarified with the demon possessor at the reception, then asked about the locations of the seasoning shop and the butcher shop, and walked over directly.

Accompanied carefully by the owner of the butcher shop, Rand bought a whole wild boar. Since arriving in this world, although Rand's food can be regarded as meaty, it is always very different from the meals in his hometown. Now Rand I am going to look for the aftertaste of my previous life, and today the whole braised pork comes out.

Rand stopped in the spice shop for a longer time. In this world, Rand has seen several spices in his hometown, such as pepper, star anise, cinnamon, and for example, Rand found brown sugar in the market that is almost the same as his hometown. , Red Wine And Vinegar.

Rand also found celery, leeks, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, carrots, potatoes, peas, broad beans, soybeans, mung beans, etc. in the nearby vegetable store, and even saw a lot of fruits that were almost the same as those in his hometown; There are no more things here, such as soy sauce, fermented bean curd, and soybean paste.

Lant, who walked around the market, did not give up. He asked the demon owner who managed the market where the nearby market dedicated to demon owners was. Sure enough, under his leadership, Lant walked to another commercial street in less than 10 minutes. superior.

这条跟兰特的商会也隔离两条街道的商业街比之前的无魔者市场气派豪华了很多，街道宽阔的可以并排走3、4两兰特的房车，两边的店铺都是3、4层的小楼，店铺的一层普遍有6、7米高。

Except for a few pillars or signboards on the outer wall of the store, the rest are glass windows, and the decoration in the store is also very elegant.

At the entrance of the Demon Owner Commercial Street, Lant and a few followers did not disturb the shops and customers, but after Lant walked not far, a mage apprentice came up to ask Lant's needs.

Under the guidance of that apprentice magician, he found his goal: a bean product store.

This tofu shop is not very big, but there are many varieties in it, including tofu skin, tofu rolls, and tofu. However, Rand still has not found fermented bean curd, which means that he has not mastered the method of making tofu that someone created or brought. fermentation.

After talking with the owner of the tofu shop, Rant found that the human beings in this world and his hometown basically had the same pronunciation for the fatty substance that was solidified from soybeans after a certain reaction after being turned into soy milk.

So the frontier baron who "has never seen the world" asked a few questions specially, and got the statement that tofu originated from the emperor.

After buying some bean rolls, Rand went to the magic supply store and the alchemy supply store.

Since there are not many mages in Maned Wolf City as a whole, and the magic ink in the magic supply store is very small, Rand can only order some Wendy's commonly used ink and Warcraft skin paper.

The alchemy item store has a lot more variety than the magic item store. Alchemy desk lamps, rune boards, rune tools and weapons for daily use. Rand is interested in the most common magic-weave pottery in the store. The magic lines of these jars are not only strengthening, but some also have the functions of heat preservation, purification, heating, and cooling.

Nowadays, apart from horses and salt, there is a lack of high-value-added goods on the ground in Rand, and the few magic-weave armors that can be sold at high prices can only be sold to the Earl of the Maned Wolf. Rand wondered if he could make some cheap but Alchemy items with certain functions.

The jar in front of him gave Rand some inspiration. He bought some magic scrolls, rune plates, and magic pattern clay pots. He also bought some small gifts for his father, brother, and confidants in the camp. Finally, he returned to the chamber of commerce with a full load.
