After Valader was helped away, the rest of the luncheon venue returned to calm. Valader's long sword fell to the ground, but Narant put it away because the long sword was exquisitely made and inlaid.
A few red and green gems should be worth a lot of money.
Instructing Lilia to refill two plates of food and a few glasses of iced juice, Nalant, Boris and others continued to eat the delicious food, chatting while eating.
"Narant, how did you train your speed?" Boris suppressed his curiosity and asked. Narant's speed seemed to be a little faster than last time.
"I don't know much about this. Maybe I have a talent in this area!" Nalant shook his head. Naturally, he couldn't say that he had eaten the agility fruit.
Just now, in order to ensure that he could definitely defeat Valad, Narant secretly exchanged another agility fruit.
However, he had a somewhat high opinion of Valad. Although Valad was a high-level bronze knight, his body had long been drained by wine and sex.
Therefore, although he seemed quite imposing, he was actually light-footed and slow to react. He was unable to parry under Nalant's full strength.
"Well, Narant, you are right, we are a little embarrassed!" Boris covered his face, and so did Rael beside him. The two of them deeply felt Narant's Versailles.
"However, it was really fun just now, and Sir Valade will probably have to recover from his injury for half a year! And Narant, I'm afraid you will become famous in the aristocratic circle again!" Rael said with envy at this time.
Narant didn't seem to have punched Valad just now, but in fact he had severed two of Valad's tendons.
Even if he can recover after relying on the physical treatment of the title knight, it will take at least half a year before he can hold a sword again.
As for today's challenging duel in the manor, I believe it won't be long before word spreads among the noble circles.
Regardless of Valad's strength, it is a fact that Nalant defeated the high-level bronze level in the intermediate bronze level.
At that time, the reputation of a leapfrog challenge will be enough for Nalant to benefit from for a long time.
"Haha, Rael, it's only a matter of time before Narant becomes famous. As for Sir Valad, he deserves it. Otherwise, with his character, he will definitely come to Nalant's troubles again and again. I heard that he and Aldin are very close."
Familiar, Narant, you have breathed a sigh of relief this time!" Boris smiled.
After continuing to chat for a while, after lunch, Narant and Boris returned to the small building.
However, the two of them did not rest immediately, but prepared to go to Tulip City because Narant wanted to take a look at the shop that belonged to him.
Nalant and Boris entered Tulip City directly from another gate of the castle with their subordinates.
When you walk out of the castle gate, there is a huge square outside.
There are not many people in the square, because this area is an area where nobles gather, and civilians rarely dare to hang out here.
Although Tulip City is not divided into inner and outer cities, it has naturally formed several different gathering areas.
For example, the area from Tulip Square to Dongcheng is basically a gathering area for nobles.
As for the south area of the city, because it is close to the main gate of Tulip City, more merchants gather there, and most caravans gather here after entering the city.
As for the west of the city, where the largest number of civilians gather, it is considered the poorest area in Tulip City.
The store that Valad compensated Nalant is located in the area where the west and south of the city meet.
After walking out of the square, they walked straight along Tulip Avenue. It took less than half an hour for them to cross the crowded main street and turn into an alley.
This street is obviously not as wide and clean as the main street. Although there are still many pedestrians on the street, ordinary civilians wearing rags have begun to appear among the pedestrians.
As we continue to move forward, there are densely packed shops on both sides, most of which sell daily necessities.
"This is it!"
After walking for about five or six minutes, they finally arrived at the location of the store according to the address on the contract.
"This position is a bit deep!"
Nalant was speechless. Although it was only five or six minutes away from the main street, the pedestrians nearby were basically ordinary civilians. Although decently dressed businessmen could be seen passing by from time to time, the nobles did not see them.
one.
"Nalant, you should be satisfied! The location of this store is actually good. It is relatively close to the south of the city and many businessmen will pass by here. If you go a little further or in the alleys, it will be...
Slums!" Boris rolled his eyes, feeling Versailles again.
"Besides, do you know how difficult it is to buy a good store in Tulip City?"
"Let's talk about price first. Just say that one of the shops in the square outside the castle is worth hundreds or even thousands of gold coins."
"Even in the south of the city, it's impossible to buy a good store without two hundred gold coins."
"Furthermore, you can't just buy these shops if you want. Some of them belong to the Earl's own property, and some have been purchased by other nobles long ago. These nobles not only have tulip-collared vassals, but also
There are nobles and nobles from other counties!"
"They won't sell the shop easily. Even if they don't do business, they will only rent it out!"
"So, even if you have money and want to buy it, you still have to see if anyone is willing to sell it!"
"Although your shop is said to be worth seventy or eighty gold coins, because it is close to the south of the city, if you don't pay a hundred gold coins, no one will be willing to sell it. I guess Baron Andrew doesn't want gold coins as compensation, but he wants the shop.
, also have this idea!”
"There is such a thing!" This was the first time Nalant knew that in this world, real estate could only be played by nobles.
But think about it, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Tulip City, and it is the center of the entire Tulip Earldom. There are countless caravans from all over the principality coming and going every day. Naturally, such a huge benefit is closely watched by the nobles.
The two of them were talking and had already arrived in front of the store.
The door of the shop is not wide, about 1.5 meters, because of the limitations of the stone house.
In order to better display the products in the store, there are two large windows on both sides of the door. When the wooden boards on the large windows are lifted up, pedestrians can see the products inside outside the door.
The entire interior space of the store is less than thirty square meters.
Fortunately, Narant saw that the entrances of the surrounding shops were like night stalls. He put a piece of linen cloth outside the door, and then directly occupied the road to operate.
As a result, the usable space of the entire store is equivalent to nearly forty square meters.
"It seems that this store can only be used to sell ordinary goods!" After looking at the surrounding environment, Nalant positioned the store.
That is table salt, brown sugar, black bread, and dried salted fish.
Although the profit of these goods is low, the people passing by are still the audience.
As for the perfumes I originally thought about, I might as well set up a street stall in the square.
With this in mind, Nalant gave instructions to his subordinates.
This time he came with a lot of goods, just for the purpose of this store.
Thanks to the attentiveness of his father, Andrew, during the original negotiation, Varade's request was that except for the merchandise, all other shelves and containers should be kept intact, so he could start decorating them as soon as he arrived.
Although these wooden cabinets and boxes are not worth much, they save a lot of trouble.
