The Tulip Chamber of Commerce's outpost in Icestone City was located in the center of the east side of the city.
This outpost occupied a large area and was quite luxurious.
"Your Tulip Chamber of Commerce has developed quite well here."
"Hehe. You flatter me. " Oliver could not hide his happiness, "This place is very close to the Sky Icefield. Most of our transactions with the trolls come from Icestone City, so this place is actually second only to the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters."
That's right. Although the Northern Frontier and the trolls were fighting each other to the death, the trade between the two sides had never stopped.
War was war, trade was trade.
These were two different things.
After all, the benefits involved were too great. Even the nobles of the Northern Frontier were unwilling to stop their trade with the trolls.
Of course, not just any merchant had the qualifications to engage in this kind of foreign trade.
For the Tulip Chamber of Commerce to be able to get a share of the profits, they clearly had some background.
"Where is your Chamber of Commerce's headquarters?"
"Fallen Eagle City."
Oliver said the name of a city that Colin was very familiar with.
Wasn't Fallen Eagle City the city where Colin's sister had married off? And the lord of that city was Earl Oman.
So the Tulip Chamber of Commerce's background was actually him.
Colin's expression was somewhat amused.
He had always suspected that the assassination attempt on him was instigated by this Count Oman. Since the great noble behind the Tulip Chamber of Commerce could also be Count Oman, then wouldn't it be throwing himself into a trap by following Oliver into the other party's sphere of influence?
However, Colin was not too worried.
Count Oman would not be stupid enough to assassinate a baron's successor within his sphere of influence. That way, he would not be able to escape responsibility.
"Sir Oliver, it's great that you're alright! I heard that you went to the Mirror Lake Main Camp, I thought … "
Just as he entered, a little girl with a face full of freckles shouted excitedly at Oliver.
Oliver nodded reservedly, "Of course I'm fine. Go find Jack, there's a lord who needs his help making a banquet dress. "
The freckled girl looked embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Sir Oliver. Mr. Jack was summoned into the castle by the Su Duo family, saying that he wanted to design dresses for the lords attending the banquet."
Oliver was stunned. He turned around and said to Colin, "Sir Colin, I didn't expect that the Su Duo Family had already arranged it. I believe that you will soon be invited to the castle to have your measurements taken … "
"Really?" Colin sneered.
He didn't think that the crazy woman would be so kind as to ask someone to make a suit for him.
He even had a hunch that this was Cynthia's way of getting back at him.
Thinking of this, Colin asked the freckled girl, "Do you know how many tailors the Su Duo family has hired to the castle?"
"I heard that all the slightly famous tailors in the city have been recruited. Many of the adults who attended the banquet this time didn't seem to have brought their formal attire because they were in a hurry. That's why the Su Duo family is preparing to rush it. "
True enough.
This time, Colin was finally convinced that the crazy woman most likely wanted him to make a fool of himself over the issue of his formal attire.
Seeing that Colin was silent, the freckled girl kindly suggested, "Sir, if you need to make a formal attire, Mr. Jack's apprentice is still in the shop. He may be able to help you …"
"Apprentice?" Before Colin could speak, Oliver scolded loudly, "Let that clumsy guy make a formal attire for a noble? Are you out of your mind? "
The freckled girl shrank her head and didn't dare to speak.
Colin wouldn't feel at ease leaving the production of formal attire to a tailor's apprentice.
Of course, he wouldn't go to the Su Duo family's castle to beg that crazy woman.
So, how could he find a suitable formal attire in such a short time?
Colin rubbed his chin. After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked, "Do you sell armor in your shop?"
"Of course!" Oliver hurriedly said loudly, "Please come with me."
Colin followed Oliver to a room. At a glance, there were all kinds of armors.
"Sir, these are the finest items collected by our Chamber of Commerce. There are plate armors, chain armors, and even enchanted armors …"
"There are enchanted armors?" Colin was suddenly interested.
The so-called enchantment was the method of carving a magic circle on the surface of the armor and asking a mage to enchant the magic circle so that the armor would have various arcane characteristics.
This wasn't a simple matter.
First of all, to carve the complex magic circle on the armor required an extremely high level of forging skills. Secondly, the price of enchantment by a mage was also extremely expensive.
Therefore, an enchanted armor could often be sold at a sky-high price.
The armor that Colin had left in the Kingdom of Graycastle was not enchanted. The only set of enchanted armor in the Angele family was of course worn by his father.
Unfortunately, that set of enchanted armor had died in battle with his father and should have become the troll's spoils of war.
Therefore, Colin excitedly followed Oliver's lead and came to the only set of enchanted armor in the room.
This was a set of pure white armor, carved with beautiful and mysterious lines that emitted a faint icy aura.
"This set of armor is enchanted with the rank 4 magic circle [Frost Blessing]. When attacked, it can explode with frost and cause damage to the attacker." Oliver explained at the side.
A rank 4 magic circle!
Colin remembered that the set of enchanted armor passed down in the Angele family only had a rank 2 magic circle carved on it.
"How much is this set of enchanted armor?" Colin was tempted.
Oliver turned back and muttered to an old blacksmith for a moment before giving a sky-high price, "Fifty thousand gold coins."
"How much?" Colin had a face of disbelief.
One had to know that the entire Angele family's annual tax revenue was only three thousand gold coins.
In other words, even if the Angele family did not eat or drink for ten years, they would still not be able to afford this set of armor.
It was no wonder that the rank 2 enchanted armor of the Angele family was treated as a family heirloom.
Colin reluctantly looked at the set of enchanted armor, then decisively turned around.
This was not something he could afford.
Even if he sold everything he had, he would not be able to afford to maintain it.
"How about this set?" Colin asked as he changed into another set of armor without enchantments.
"This set is two thousand gold coins."
Colin took a deep breath, 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 will inform Graycastle to send the rest of the money. "
Hearing this, Oliver thought for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, "Sir Colin, if you like this set of armor, I can give it to you for free!"
"For free?" Colin smiled playfully.
He did not believe that there were free things in this world.
Everything had a price, it was just that some prices did not appear in the form of money.
"That's right." Oliver said in a deep voice, "I previously accidentally destroyed your relationship with the Su Duo family and caused you to be injured. Therefore, this set of armor is my apology to you."
Sure enough, after returning to the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, this fatty began to think of ways to get out of Colin's control.
This set of "free" armor was actually Oliver's redemption fee.
"Good! I'll accept your apology. "
Seeing that Oliver's apology was sincere, Colin decided not to pursue the previous matter.
Then, he found a pen and paper and drew a roaring bear head with some thorny patterns on the back of the eagle shield emblem.
"Help me engrave the Angele family's emblem and send it to my residence within three days."
"Okay."
After finishing his instructions, Colin was ready to get up and leave.
"Sir Colin, about the dress for the banquet …" Oliver kindly reminded him.
"I already have a way to deal with the dress, you don't have to worry about it."
Colin turned around and revealed an unfathomable smile.
