Dome Eagle Fort was built on the largest hill in the center of Greenfield Hills. Its architectural pattern is not as dense as that of Black Pearl Manor, but very sparse - the money of Black Pearl Manor is spent on the castle. In addition to the construction, the money of Fengcheng City is spent on forts, forts and towers, and each urn city can actually be regarded as a small castle).

And most of the money in Qiongying City was spent on the city walls—no wonder, it was located in the hills surrounded by plains.There is no danger to defend.The soil is not suitable for digging deep. If you want to defend the city, you must have all internal organs in the castle.

The inner wall of the castle, which surrounds one-fifth of the entire city, is actually a city.There is a big difference between the inside of the castle and the outer city, and the residents here are more concentrated.The buildings in the castle are also dominated by bluestone and granite.There are more than 2 residents in total—mostly craftsmen and tenants, serfs, knights, and sergeants of Duke Qiongying.Most of the blacksmith workshops and alchemy workshops of the Qiongying family are also built in the inner walls of the castle.

Outside of the castle, the residents are actually somewhat scattered.These houses are scattered on the hills, at the foot of the mountain, and even at the foot of the mountain.It is connected by several main streets.Because the climate here is temperate and tropical, there is basically no need for heating in winter, so the houses of the residents are also very large, and the balconies on the second floor are open, and the balconies of many houses even occupy more than half of the second floor. building.

Outside the building is the garden of the resident's own home, which looks like a small classical villa.

In these gardens, many roses, tulips and other flowers and plants were planted in previous years for the residents to make their own perfume.

And when merchants from other places come here to trade, these things and the fragrance they emit are the facade—the residents in the city who can live in the city instead of the farms outside the city bordering the farmland are mostly wealthy households. , either has a small workshop of his own home, or runs an industry for a certain noble lord.

And the vast majority of residents, no matter who they work for, can also undertake private work-something like musk must be related to the nobles.But for other perfumes, they can make their own.

In summer, flowers bloom here, and birds come and fly around the city.And on top of many tall buildings in the Dome Eagle Fort, you can still see many Dome Eagle's nests.

At the easternmost end of the castle, there is even a small garden woodland surrounded by buildings and city walls. There is also a small horse farm and a large stable in the woodland.Further to the east is outside the city, and after going out the door, it is the big racecourse outside Qiongying City, and further east is the 'Qiongying Hunting Forest'.

When George is heading east now, he can see the endless hills and forests that spread into the depths of the mist in the distance.

Such a big castle may not be built in a few centuries, without financial and human support, and without the efforts of several generations.And such a family is the real noble in the South.

When passing by the barracks, George whistled to Aggie, who looked like a dog under the overpass, who was teaching recruits.

After the little Aji heard the boss' call, he stepped on the wall and flew up a few steps, and followed behind the boss's buttocks.

"Boss, is your date over?" Aji winked and said.

Looking at the five BMWs picked out by Aji in front of him, George stretched out his hand to caress the most beautiful horse with hair like satin, and he couldn't put it down.

This horse has a height of 163 at the shoulder, a thin head and a high neck, slender limbs, and thin skin.It looks extremely handsome.

In the demonstration at the racecourse just now, his steps were light, and when he carried Moss, a big fat man, over obstacles, he was walking on the ground!

This fierce horse was very irritable just now, but under George's secret inspiration, it has become extremely obedient. When it sees George, it is like looking at its mother.

In its large eyes, George could see its very human emotions.

This war horse is very rare.

In order to fight the war last year, Old Qiongying not only pulled out most of the horses in the racecourse, but also collected all the horses in the hands of the people.

Now, a large part of the loss is in Rodunk, and after the fall of Clearwater City, Qiongying's transport team was also in the chaos, and they were all 'broken into pieces' - those laborers who had to serve for the war , in Qiongying can no longer survive.During the chaos of the war, Qiongying's ability to control the transportation team has been reduced to the extreme.So many laborers ran away with money.

In fact, most of these horses and food were lost in the kingdom of Eldar.Many other lords in the kingdom quietly took advantage of the fire to rob them, or simply "detained" them to compensate for their own losses - in order to form an army, Old Qiongying borrowed a lot of money.

If the Qiongying family has money now, they can pay back the debt owed to the lord.Many horses, food, and people can come back.But with the current situation of Qiongying, I am afraid that there is no hope.

George didn't intend to count on those lords, he would slowly clean up with Alfonso one by one.As for now, he wants to "create something out of nothing" with Layton and get a horse from the people of the southern desert.

And if this deal is negotiated, the future Qiongying will not only gradually have more horses, but the quality of the horses will also far exceed the original situation!

I have to say that these horses brought by Moss made George feel extremely amazing.Although the horses selected by Aji are carefully selected by Aji, but in the stables, those "inferior horses" in the mouth of Moss are also at the level of medium horses in the Kingdom of Eldar !

"Boss, it's true Moss isn't bragging Moss "Moss never brags!" "). These horses are all good horses!" Aji sighed and said, "However, I don't recommend that we buy a lot of your favorite horse."

Hearing this, Layton on the side nodded secretly - he also knows horses very well and loves horses very much.Know it's the best horse, but it's too expensive and not suitable for use here.also difficult to sell

As for which horses to buy, Layton already had an idea in his mind, but some things had to be decided by the boss—he was a little confused about this big guy.

To be honest, Leighton was extremely surprised to be able to talk about this today.Previously, these people from the Southern Wilderness were bitten to death by many things, and they refused to give up—only sold a few hundred horses.Now they are all relieved, and their attitude has changed 180 degrees. Today, they even took the initiative to talk with themselves.

Moss actually asked himself today how many horses he needed.

According to George's previous arrangement, Layton increased the number of horses that Qiongying originally planned to purchase by ten times-that is, [-].One part is war horse, the other part is draft horse.

This is where things stalled.

The number shocked Moss after hearing it.He can sell a few thousand horses at most - the tribe has sold a lot of horses in the past two years, and many of these thousands of horses have to be brought back by him to rob certain small tribes.

This is where things stalled.

On the one hand, the needs of Qiongying are very large, exceeding the limit of the Moss tribe.On the one hand, Layton intends to lower the price and resell some of the horses—this big man looks naive, but he is not easy to fool.

Speaking of this, the problem of money is easy to solve-as long as Moss can give it away, Layton feels that he has enough channels to transfer some of the horses and double them!

Regarding this matter, George and Layton thought differently—there was no need to make money right away.

But after seeing these horses today, George was able to understand Layton's plan.Even he himself has changed his mind.

Moss, a big man, only sells for [-] silver foxes. If he is brought into the capital, it will definitely be more than doubled!

However, Aji's evaluation of this horse surprised George a little.

In the data given by the light of dawn, the comprehensive evaluation of this 'Calicum' sweat horse is the highest.Great strength, fast speed, strong endurance and high explosive power.Almost all the advantages of a good horse are taken.

But Aji has a different opinion.

Aji explained, "This is a good horse that can truly rank among the top three in the world - it comes from the 'Great Oasis of Calikum' in Saudi Arabia."

Speaking of this, Aji stroked its hair, "But it is not suitable for the cold climate in the north. It will die easily - the nobles who can afford this kind of horse know horses."

Aji didn't say much in front of Moss. If he was given medicine, although some shortcomings could be solved, the nobles probably wouldn't recognize it.

George looked at Layton, and understood a meaning from his eyes——occasionally, if a big nobleman bought it for collection, the price would be kept down by those smart guys.

George suddenly realized that the trade between the people of the Southern Wilderness and the people of Elda has not been for a year or two. Many nobles who love horses have already bought this kind of horse with little demand and high price.I am afraid that the demand in the market is greater than the supply.So it's not a good product.

"This kind of horse is actually the most suitable for you." Moss reached out and grabbed the mane of the second horse.This guy's movements are very rough, but his hand strength is very moderate, as if in the scratching, the horse is very comfortable. "You all like this kind of 'plaything'."

George looked at the horse—it was a white horse, and it looked regal and beautiful.

It is slender, but muscular, with little fat on its body.Not only does he look extremely handsome.The eyes are also extremely agile.

After speaking, Moss rode up, and under his whistle and manipulation, the horse moved its hooves in small, rhythmic steps, and danced a dressage.Immediately afterwards, Moss swung his whip, and the horse flew away like lightning, reaching the fastest speed in a blink of an eye.

"Horse racing!" exclaimed George.

"There's too little fat." Aji shook his head and explained in the tone of a 'crazy racing fan', "Some racehorses do have extraordinary endurance in long-distance running-a ten-kilometer road may be run in less than an hour! But After running a race, you have to rest and adjust for a few days. Otherwise, your performance will not only be greatly reduced, but you will also be more likely to be exhausted. On the battlefield, sometimes a horse cannot rest for many days, so it must be of the kind that is fat, It takes patience."

"Aggie is right, my lord." Layton and Aggie had somewhat different opinions, "This kind of horse is indeed top-notch—short burst and long-distance endurance are amazing, but it cannot cope with the harsh battlefield environment. So this kind of horse is not suitable for our equipment. However, this kind of horse will be very popular among the nobles, and these people from the Southern Wilderness do not have channels for such high-level customers. We can buy low and sell high."

George understood what Layton meant—horses were played in aristocratic circles like sports cars.And a good horse with noble pedigree and excellent body is more expensive than a supercar!
