Chapter 53 - Shire Horses

"We have a deal mam. I will talk to my farmer friends. They might not cut the price in half like I did, but they will consider lower prices.

I also have fifty barrels of these fruits called "Oranges."

They are a bit sour but are only fruits of which the richer can afford."

"Tell me the price, i would love to buy them and one more last request Albert. Mmm that's a nice name.

Don't invite any other ladies tonight. I want to take you all, alone."

"Are you sure? There are five men!"

"Trust me. I can handle more than that."

Little did Albert know, Commander Alia meant that as in, she will draw a sword and take all five.

Sc.u.ms like these need to be disposed off.

And since the Town of Lan Zhe will likely never need to do business in the outer lands again thanks to the adjustments Stefan helped to do on the Underground farm, she doesn't mind heavily ruining the relationship with her new "friends" here in the outer lands of Crutal Kingdom.

"Agreeable. But just for tonight. And as we agreed, you won't be paid and will come for ten nights straight.

About the Oranges, each Barrel costs a hundred gold coins each. But for you of course, fifty."

"hmmm. Reasonable price, I'll take all fifty.

But how much does each barrel weigh?"

"Each barrel weighs about half your weight. But the fruits last longer and the barrels are stacked more easier on a Wagon for long way roads."

"We have a deal. My co worker will give you twenty more Ignite gems to pay off everything and I will make my way to Joseph Iron Shoe.

If your warehouse is far, I suggest you to start bringing my purchases near the main road. I'm sure a wealthy man like you has employees and my co workers can help as well."

"Sounds reasonable. I will start organizing everything right now.

But if you plan to buy more crops, know that three Wagons won't be able to fit them all.

Buy at least five or buy bigger ones."

"Thank you for your help Handsome."

She said with internal disgust and walked towards Eric and Stefan

"You two. I will need those bags you are carrying, hopefully i will strike good deals."

"Of course mam."

Said Stefan shortly and whispered

"Are you sure you want to go there alone?"

"I can handle myself Stefan, keep Mogranius out of trouble though. I will be back under an hour."

…

"Hello mam. I'm looking for Joseph Iron Shoe. Do you know where I can find him?"

"My Husband? What trouble did he get himself into now? Did he chase another Woman again? "

"No No mam. I'm looking to buy Horses and Wagons."

"Oh. He is behind this door. I only handle the Horses out here. He does the selling and fees."

"Thank you mam."

Commander Alia felt bad for the lady. She sounds so kind and looks so beautiful while her Husband spends money on Whores.

"The Legendary Joseph Iron Shoe! Albert told me so much about you.

He said that you are one of the richest businessmen in Crutal Kingdom."

"Greetings miss. Well he isn't wrong i suppose.

What can I offer you."

"I need Horses and good quality Wagons.

Big Wagons and Strong Horses. What can you offer?"

"You are in luck with both requests actually. Three Shire Horses have just arrived. They aren't anywhere to be found in Ignis except for Frozen Toe Kingdom.

You are aiming to buy Wagons as well.

For each Horse and Wagon you buy, you get to pay two hundred gold coins less."

"I love that deal oh great Joseph.

Why do they call you Iron Shoe may i ask? Sounds like a name to a great story."

Said Commander Alia in order to raise his ego which could lead to cheaper prices.

"It's a long story mam. But long story short, I ended up with an iron foot due to an accident with a horse. Rather unfortunate."

"Oh that sounds like an injury only hard workers would gain."

Told Alia after the aims to raise his ego went unexpectedly downhill.

"Anyway, I can get you good quality Wagons. They are big and have strong sturdy wood work made to carry large deliveries.

Along with one horse, each one will cost a Thousand gold coins."

"A Thousand gold coins you say.

I want three of those but I can't invest all my budget on them, I need to buy more crops.

I wouldn't want to disappoint the King of Pameres Kingdom."

"You work for a King you say."

"Indeed I do. He sent me here to obtain a large amount of crops.

And i suppose i need to tell that i will be pleasing you and the rest of your farmer friends tonight. I struck a deal with Albert."

"Oh, in that case. If you can afford Two Thousand Gold Coins, I can happily offer Three Horses and Three Wagons."

"Sounds like we reached a deal sir Joseph.

But i need four Wagons.

We already have a horse and all four Wagons will likely be packed from bottom to top. I have a big order to fulfill."

"I can offer a Big Wagon for four hundred gold coins.

Meaning your total will be two thousand and four hundred Gold Coins.

It's a cheap price for a Good Quality Wagon."

"Sounds very reasonable to me.

I hope you accept Ignite gems as a payment, I will throw one for free.

Meaning twenty five Ignite Gems."

Said Commander Alia in a tempting tone as she drops a bag of Ignite Gems in front of Iron Shoe Joseph's desk and said

"This bag holds twenty five Ignite Gems and they sell for a hundred Gold Coins in the market, but I'm sure a businessman like you can strike better deals."

"I'm not the biggest fan of Ignite Gems but i can accept that deal."

"Thank you. I'll be sure to please you the most tonight."
