Chapter 35 035 Armor 1

The base of the Tulip Chamber of Commerce in Ice Rock City was located in the center of the east of the city.

This base occupied a large area and was quite luxurious.

“Your Tulip Chamber of Commerce is developing well here.” “Hehe. You flatter me.” Oliver could not hide his joy. “This place is very close to the firmament ice field. Most of the transactions between our chamber of Commerce and the trolls have to be transferred from Ice Rock City. Therefore, this is actually a base second only to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce.”

That was right. Although the Northern Territory and the trolls were about to blow each other’s brains out, the trade between the two sides had never stopped.

War was war; trade was trade.

These were two different things.

After all, the interests involved were too great. Even the nobles of the Northern Territory were unwilling to stop the trade with the trolls.

Of course, not just any merchant was qualified to conduct such foreign trade.

The Tulip Chamber of Commerce had to have obvious support to be able to get a share of the profits. “Where is the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce located?”

“Fallen Eagle City.”

Oliver said a city name that Colin was very familiar with.

Fallen Eagle City was the city where Colin’s elder sister had married far away, and the lord there was Earl Oman.

So, that meant the Tulip Chamber of Commerce was supported by this man.

Colin’s expression was a little contemplative.

Colin had always suspected that Earl Oman was behind the assassination attempt on him. Since the great noble behind the Tulip Chamber of Commerce might also be Earl Oman, would it count as walking into a trap now that Colin had swaggered into Earl Oman’s sphere of influence with Oliver?

However, Colin was not too worried.

Earl Oman would not be stupid enough to assassinate a baron’s heir in his own territory. If that happened, he could never shake off being a suspect.

“Sir Oliver, it’s great that you’re alright! I heard that you went to the Mirror Lake camp, and I thought..”

As soon as they walked through the door, a freckled little girl shouted excitedly at Oliver.

Oliver nodded in a reserved manner. “Of course I’m fine. Go and find Jack. There’s a sir who needs help to make a banquet attire.”

The freckled girl revealed a troubled expression. “I’m sorry, Lord Oliver. Mr. Jack has been recruited into the castle by the Surdo family. They said that they’re going to specially design attires for the lords who are going to attend the banquet.”

Oliver was stunned for a moment. He turned around and said to Colin, “Sir Colin, I didn’t expect the Surdo family to have already arranged it. I’m afraid that you’ll be invited to the castle to have your measurements taken very soon..”

“Really?” Colin sneered.

He did not think that the crazy woman would be kind enough to hire someone to tailor his attire.

He even had a premonition that this was Cynthia’s little trick to get back at him on purpose.

Thinking of this, Colin asked the freckled girl, “Do you know how many tailors the Surdo family has invited to the castle?”

“I heard that all the remotely famous tailors in the city have been recruited. Many of the sirs attending this banquet were in a hurry and didn’t seem to have brought their attires with them, so the Surdo family is making preparations to rush them out.”

As expected.

This time, Colin was finally convinced that the crazy woman was most likely trying to make a fool of him in the matter of the attires.

Seeing that Colin was silent, the freckled girl kindly suggested, “Sir, if you need to make attires, Mr. Jack’s apprentice is still in the shop. He might be able to help you..” “Apprentice?” Before Colin could say anything, Oliver shouted, “Let that clumsy guy make an attire for a noble? Are you out of your mind?”

The freckled girl shrank and did not dare to say anything.

Colin would also be worried about leaving the production of the attire to a tailor’s apprentice.

Of course, neither would he go to the Surdo family’s castle to beg that crazy woman.

Then, how could he find a suitable attire in such a short time?

Colin stroked his chin and thought for a while. Then, he suddenly asked, “Do you sell armor in your shop?”

“Of course!” Oliver quickly said loudly, “Please follow me.”

Colin followed Oliver to a room. At a glance, it was full of all kinds of armor.

“My lord, this is the best collection in our Chamber of Commerce. There are plate armors, chain armors, and even enchanted armors..”

“Enchanted armors?” Colin’s interest was piqued.

The so-called enchantment was to draw a magic circle on the surface of the armor, and then ask a mage to enchant the magic circle so that the armor would have all kinds of arcane characteristics.

It was not a simple thing.

First of all, the complicated magic circle needed to be engraved on the armor. Secondly, the mage would have to be hired at a high price to enchant the armor.

Therefore, a set of enchanted armor could be sold for an exorbitant price.

The armor that Colin left in Graycastle was not enchanted, and the only enchanted armor in the Angele family was worn by his father.

Unfortunately, the enchanted armor was lost to the trolls after his father died in the battle.

Therefore, Colin followed Oliver’s lead and arrived in front of the only enchanted armor in the room.

It was a fully white armor with beautiful and mysterious lines engraved on it. The armor was emitting a cold aura.

“This armor is enchanted with a Rank 4 magic circle called Frost Blessing. It can release frost attacks when attacked, causing damage on the attacker,” Oliver explained.

Rank 4 magic circle!

Colin remembered that the enchanted armor that was passed down in the Angele family only had a Rank 2 magic circle engraved on it.

“How much is this enchanted armor?” Colin’s interest was piqued.

Oliver turned around and talked to an old blacksmith for a while. He then announced the price, “50,000 gold coins.”

“Come again?” Colin could not believe what he just heard.

The taxes received from the lands under the Angele family were only 3,000 gold coins a year.

In other words, the Angele family could not afford the enchanted armor even if they did not eat or drink for ten years.

It was no wonder that the Rank 2 enchanted armor of the Angele family was considered a family heirloom.

Colin glanced at the enchanted armor reluctantly and turned around.

It was not something he could afford.

Also, even if he sold everything he had, he would not be able to maintain it.

“What about this set?” Colin changed to another set of armor without enchantments.

“This one costs 2,000 gold coins.” Colin inhaled deeply, feeling a little pained.

However, he also knew that this kind of exquisite armor would not be cheap.

“Can I pay a deposit first? I’ll inform Graycastle to send the rest of the money over.”

Hearing this, Oliver thought for a moment and gritted his teeth. “Lord Colin, if you like this set of armor, I can give it to you for free!”

“Free?” Colin smiled playfully.

He did not believe that there were free things in this world.

Everything had a price, but some of the prices would not appear in the form of money.

“That’s right,” Oliver said in a low voice, “Previously, I accidentally damaged your relationship with the Surdo family and injured you. So, you can consider this armor as my apology to you.”

Sure enough, after returning to the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, the fat man was trying to get out of Colin’s crosshairs.

The free armor was actually Oliver’s ransom fee.

“Alright! I’ll accept your apology.”

Seeing that Oliver was sincere, Colin decided not to pursue the matter anymore.

He then found a pen and paper before drawing a bear’s head roaring into the sky. On the back of the bear’s head was a shield badge with thorns on it.

“Help me carve the emblem of the Angele family on it. Send it to my place in three days.”

“Sure.”

Colin was about to leave after finishing his words.

“Sir Colin, about the banquet attire..” Oliver reminded.

“I already have a plan for the attire. Don’t worry about it.”

Colin turned around and gave him an unreadable smile.
