Chapter 1043: Chapter 264: Cambridge Impressions_4

Last year, during the war against the bandits of the Desert People, many Beamon warriors had their weapons cut in half by the enemy, which was a huge embarrassment for the kingdom. The weapons ordered from humans had major issues; some Beamon warriors joked that after chopping one enemy, they had to step on the sword to straighten it before continuing the fight.

"Wow! Are those underwater plants?" A chorus of astonishment and murmurs rose around.

Damn! What is this, I’ve seen forests underwater before. As he watched these scholars who were learned yet easily amazed, Liu Shock let out a snort of derision.

"Such a pity, water sandalwood would have been a great spice," Helen, being a Fox, immediately thought of the economic value of the lake sandalwood, "As a spice, purple sandalwood is quite prestigious, and I feel that the scent of water sandalwood is even more enchanting. Knight Piero, why not sell this valuable water sandalwood as spice and bring greater economic benefits to the kingdom?"

"Lady Helen. . ." Knight Piero knew who the Fox lady in a peacock-feather robe, holding a tome was, and quickly bowed, ". . .you are not aware, this water sandalwood is extremely difficult to ignite. No amount of sun exposure helps; if thrown into a bonfire, it’s almost like a stone. It can char, but takes a very long time. If sawed into wood chips for spices, ignition is the biggest problem."

"Such a pity." Helen did not expect this material, though wood, could not catch fire, and after a moment of surprise, sighed.

"Knight, this wood smells really good, how much stock do you still have? I’ll buy it all!" Excited that the wood was fire-resistant, Liu Shock thought about buying it all for furniture; this would be prestigious—fragrant and durable. The presence of some Elves carpenters in Fiegldhurry was perfect—they wouldn’t mind the tougher wood and could carve it slowly.

The priests were all stunned; Captain Piero probably didn’t expect that the Chief Shaman, with battle looming, would still take the time to strike a deal, and didn’t immediately know how to respond.

"Your Majesty, since you want to buy, please name your price," Golinny straightforwardly said without hesitation.

"How many are there in the water?" Liu shocked frowned and asked Piero.

"There are about two hundred in the water," Captain Piero stuttered, "There are over two hundred raw materials left in the warehouse, and four hundred have been processed into gun shafts and shields."

"I’ll take all of them." Liu Shock’s eyes flickered, "How about fifty fist-sized agates as the price for the lot?"

"Wow~" The priests, unaware of the Shaman of Divine Songs’ wealth, were taken aback by the price, releasing a harmonious gasp of surprise.

"Fifty fist-sized agates? That’s a good price, Richard is quite generous. We’ve got a deal," Golinny said cheerfully, "Such large agates are enough for my sister and I to carve a few sets of jewelry. Piero, I’ll pay the subsidy to you separately."

"As you wish, Fair Princess," Captain Piero smiled, "Water sandalwood is just a bit tricky to harvest, but His Majesty had already supported us with a hundred crocodile-mouth turtle sappers. I’m sure Lord Boban will know about this and will definitely not accept your subsidy."

Ha-ha! From now on, no matter how much I move around in bed, it won’t creak and groan! Liu Shock thought gleefully.

"Your Majesty, Knight Piero, since Colonel Kahn is waiting for us, and your trade has been settled, should we continue on our way now?" The newly promoted high priest Master Qi Dan was getting a bit impatient.

"Tsk—," Piero snorted coldly through his nose, giving Master Qi Dan a frosty glance, then turned to continue leading the way.

Master Qi Dan, his face turning alternately red and white in reaction to the knight’s gesture, watched as Liu laughed heartily nearby. The model tribe might just be another vassal under Mourinho, and Master Qi Dan, having not followed the supreme Swan Priest but instead sided with the Taige Clan, naturally earned the disdain of such a loyal knight like Piero.
