Guests from Sybarsis (Part-3)

Lord Janus never thought the problem he would have to deal with coming here would not be having too little iron but too much.

And so cheap too.

Hence he had to fight against his innate mercantile impulse to buy as much iron as possible.

For the profit margins on them would be truly astronomical.

But given they were at war, he also had to consider that perhaps their limited resources would be better spent elsewhere.

And so Lord Janus and Lady Miranda were seen furtively glancing at one another.

Finally, after a while of consideration, Lord Janus spoke with gritted teeth,

"My lord, we are unable to buy your entire stock. But we would like to buy as much as we can."

"Harold told us that you preferred food, slaves, and draft animals for your transactions. So we will use them." Lord Janus at last determined.

The reason for his decision was that the iron could both be used to fight and sold in foreign markets to raise funds.
