Chapter 56 Arrival at the Horse Herding City

Chapter 56 Arrival at the Horse Herding City

The Ironhoof Family had already existed long before the Orlant Empire disappeared. Although it was only a small knight territory at that time, it had a great reputation.

Then, during the more than two hundred years of war, it grew stronger and stronger and became a follower of the Wushan family.

After Lulans Wushan was conferred the title of Marquis of the Kingdom, the Tieti Family was successfully promoted to a Viscount Family, and its base was in Muma City.

This city, which has never changed hands for hundreds of years, has a very high degree of stability and, therefore, has attracted chambers of commerce from all over the country to come here to do trade, making Muma City one of the most frequently visited cities in Wushanling.

The main business of the Tieti family is all kinds of horses, ranging from old horses, draft horses, and pack horses to ordinary war horses, sophisticated war horses, and excellent war horses.

It is even said that there are war horses with Warcraft bloodline in the Ironhoof family's ranch. One of these precious mounts might cost thousands of gold coins!

But then again, if we want to say who has the better mount, we still have to look at the Thunder Wind Chaser of Lulans, the master of Wushan Territory.

This is not a horse; this is a real monster, and it is a level 5 monster that can rival the Silver Knight!

It is said that the Thunder Chaser has the blood of the legendary dragon, so it looks like a dragon. After being armed with armour, its appearance is extremely domineering.

The predecessor had heard about his grandfather's achievements since he was born. It was said that the Thunder Chaser Beast would bring a powerful lightning field when it was charging, mixed with Lulans's surging fighting spirit, galloping across the battlefield, and no one could defeat it!

Unfortunately, even as the predecessor of the eldest grandson, Luo Ning rarely had the opportunity to get close to this magical beast mount and could only secretly watch from a distance.

World of Warcraft mounts are very rare, especially high-level World of Warcraft mounts.

Generally speaking, people must first have the ability to subdue the mount, defeat it head-on, and then break through the opponent's mental defences before signing a master-servant contract.

It is relatively easy to defeat a monster, but it is extremely difficult to break through its mental defences and get it to agree to sign a master-servant contract. Some arrogant or unruly guys will never agree, even if they die.

In addition to these factors, the contract scroll is also very expensive and rare. Theoretically, only a seventh-level magician has the ability to make it.

Great wizards are rare, to begin with, and even fewer can create spell scrolls.

Therefore, people who don't know any powerful magicians don't even have the channels to buy them.

This also made it very difficult even for nobles to obtain a powerful Warcraft mount.

After Luo Ning and his party found an inn in a small manor outside the city and stayed for one night, they set out for the city early the next morning.

The Horse Herding City is indeed a big city. In order to accommodate horse-trading, its roads have been built very wide.

Along this horse-riding avenue, there are scattered knights' manors on both sides, which is very similar to the environment around Wushan Avenue.

However, the estates here didn't seem to grow much food. Roning saw more pastures and many farmers grazing cattle, sheep and horses.

This is also a positioning issue for the Tieti family. They specialize in the horse business and also sell dairy cows and sheep. As for wheat fields, their configuration is not high.

There are many caravans coming and going in the Horse Herding City, and there is no shortage of merchants selling grain. The money earned from selling horses and other livestock is enough to buy a lot of grain.

When Luo Ning has developed the land in Shanlin Town in the future, he can consider selling the surplus grain in Muma City.

However, he did think of a problem. If they surrounded the Horse Herding City, how long would the food inside last them?

Soon, Roning put this idea behind his mind.

We are all neighbours, and the Horse Herder City has never plundered the Mountain Forest Town as the Sean Territory did. How could he have such a bad idea in his mind?

Moreover, the Viscount of the Horse Herder City, Marvin Tieti, was a silver-level knight. In order to maintain the order of the caravan and the city, he had almost a knight group under his command. Who would dare to attack the Horse Herder City?

After entering the Horse Herder City, Ronin stopped focusing on his actions.

He asked Tom to accompany Gallon and the guards to purchase a batch of wrought iron. After returning to Hillwood Town, he would need Kallus to make a variety of tools.

There is no iron mine in Shanlin Town, and the demand for wrought iron is still very great. This time, Luo Ning plans to purchase 2,000 kilograms first.

On the market, the price of wrought iron varies according to its quality, generally in the range of 40 to 55 copper coins per catty, which is an acceptable price.

However, if wrought iron is made into tools or weapons, the price would increase unpredictably.

The fact that Roning didn't let McKen follow Tom this time was actually a test for this professional knight.

He couldn't always let David or McCann be bound to Tom; it would be a waste of the extraordinary's value. Sooner or later, he would have to assign the other party a task for which he would be responsible.

During this period of time, Tom has been working hard and has been quite good.

If the other party is pretending to surrender to cause trouble, then Luo Ning can only say that the other party's acting skills are so strong that even he could be fooled.

What he didn't know was that Tom saw this release as a sign of the lord's trust in him.

Since the surrender, Tom has been accompanied by either McKen or David. He knows why the lord made such arrangements.

But after all, he is a latecomer, and there cannot be any risk of McKen's true combat strength being leaked, so it is normal for him to be monitored by the lord.

But today, since the lord let him, a professional, assist in the work, this showed that the lord's trust in him had reached a new level.

This is a good thing.

Tom secretly vowed that this task of purchasing wrought iron must be completed without any accidents.

On the other hand, Roning took McKen and Elron to visit the trading area of ​​the Horse Ranch City.

The trading area is very large, with all kinds of stalls on the roadside, some selling piglets and some selling cattle, sheep and other livestock. It is very chaotic and noisy, and the sanitary environment is also very messy. It is much worse than the impression of a farmers' market.

What Roning wanted to buy were magic crystals and monster furs. These kinds of things were hard to find in small stalls and could only be found in street shops and stand-alone buildings of large chambers of commerce.

Chambers of commerce, especially large ones, can be understood as a strong force independent of the nobility.

Of course, although they are called independent, in fact, the owners of the chambers of commerce are basically related to the nobles, and some are even retainers of the nobles or even the nobles themselves.

For example, the kingdom's finance minister has more than one chamber of commerce under him. They work for the king and also for the finance minister.

The larger the chamber of commerce, the more prosperous their business is, and their shops are spread across every city and town in the kingdom.

There are several chambers of commerce in the trading area of ​​Muma City, some from the Tieti family and some from outside.

Luo Ning was the first to walk into the Iron Hoof Chamber of Commerce and found that their main business was war horse-related, including the sale of horses, matching saddles, vests, reins, etc., and there was no magic crystal stone-related business.

However, the other party showed Roning a clear way - in the northwest corner of the commercial district, there is a building belonging to the Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce, and general things like magic crystals can be purchased from here.

The Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce was founded by Count Bellaro Silva of the Kingdom of Alduin. It is the largest chamber of commerce in the kingdom that operates magician-related businesses.

It is said that the earl's territory is very small, and its area is almost the same as that of an ordinary barony.

However, the earl's business is very good. The reason is that Bellaro's personal strength is very strong.

Bellaro Silva is not only a magician but also a well-known eighth-level magician. Whether in the Kingdom of Alduin or the Kingdom of Tricia, his strength is among the best.

His disciples and apprentices are spread all over the place, and no one knows how many there are.

This has also led some people to say that the Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce in disguise, and its essence can be seen as a magicians' association.

After obtaining this information, Roning took McKen and Elrond towards the Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce.

I thought it would take some time to find the Chamber of Commerce building, but when I arrived at the northwest corner of the trading area, I saw the eye-catching building at a glance.

This made Roning think of a word at the first moment - Mage Tower.
