Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord - Chapter 336

336 Wine Trading

As guests, Tristana and Claude didn’t want to refuse and appear rude. Claude smiled politely.

Andy did not notice anything. He excitedly placed the jar on the table and opened the lid. A maid poured the wine for everyone.

Claude lifted the glass up to his nose. He was stunned at the rich fragrance of the wine. It was unlike anything he had come across. He couldn’t wait to take a sip.

The fragrance of the wine made him feel as though he was in a forest and a gentle breeze was blowing on his face.

!!
“This is good!” said Claude. Although he had yet to take a sip, the fragrance alone made him feel happy.

He slowly took a sip. The flavor exploded and melted on his tongue. He savored every drop of it. The wine made him feel warm and comfortable. It was like soaking in a tub full of warm water after a tiring day. The fatigue from the day’s incident melted away.

“Mary in the Dark Night, you said?” Claude placed the glass back on the table. The aftertaste lingered in his mouth. He looked at Andy in amazement.

“That’s correct. This is the final result of hundreds of years of research by the Hell Demon Wolf Clan. No one in this world can brew this wine like we do!” Andy was proud of what he had accomplished. “Even the Hell Demon Wolf Clans who have joined other tribes don’t know how to make this.”

Claude praised Andy and his wine recipe.

“Praise be to the Ice Goddess! This is the best wine I have ever tasted!” Tristana smiled radiantly.

As a person born and raised in a noble family, wine tasting was part of aristocratic etiquette. Tristana knew how to spot a good wine when she tasted it. The wine she had tasted in her own territory didn’t taste half as good as this.

Tristana placed her glass on the table. “Lord Su Wan, do you plan to sell this wine? If you do, I’ll gladly buy them from you.”

“I’m thinking about it,” said Su Wan. “But it’s a completely new recipe that has just been developed. Besides, it’s difficult to make and certainly isn’t cheap.”

“Of course. I’m willing to trade 50 units of rare resources for 1 unit of Mary of the Dark Night. How about that?”

The price offered was great. A mini ore vein usually provided around 100 units of resources.

Although Su Wan had some rare resources in her inventory, they were difficult to obtain. Usually, they needed to plunder and raid barbarians and dwarves to find them. Who knew how many resources Tristana had accumulated over the years if she was willing to trade that much for a wine?

Su Wan turned to Andy. “How much of this wine can we produce in a month?”

“With our current production capacity, we can manage 5000 units per month.”

Su Wan nodded. The production of Mary of the Dark Night hadn’t been easy. In fact, Su Wan had felt that it was a very unrealistic and unattainable goal in the beginning.

Once she gave it a go, she realized that it had cost her 10 units of rare resources to produce 1 unit of the wine, including the cost of labor and raw materials.

If their monthly output of wine was 5000 units, it would fetch them 250,000 units of rare resources. After deducting the production cost of about 50,000 units, Su Wan would still earn a profit of 200,000 units of rare resources.

Su Wan felt that that was good enough.

She had planned to use the Scarlet Flame Demon Spider Silk to earn more resources. However, now that she had made a deal with Tristana, she couldn’t sell it to anyone else.

Mary of the Dark Night was her other asset for earning more resources.

After she upgraded most of her troops, summoning them now required rare resources instead of ordinary ones.

As she went on upgrading her troop’s level, more and more rare resources would be needed to summon them.

Su Wan felt that she was definitely earning the resources faster than before but spending them even more quickly.

She still lacked the resources to improve her military power. In this world, power and strength were everything.

If she wasn’t already powerful, Claude and Tristana wouldn’t be sitting here and trying to negotiate terms of trading with her.

Su Wan and Tristana discussed and agreed on 60 units of rare resources for 1 unit of Mary of the Dark Night. Both sides were satisfied with the terms.

For Su Wan, this meant that 300,000 units of rare resources could be earned in a month. After deducting the production cost, the profit would be 250,000 units. That would massively help with the shortage of resources in the territory.

To Tristana, this wasn’t just about the wine or the spider silk. These were the two most important weapons in her arsenal for taking over the Frostwolf family.

With the wine, she would have control over the massive wine sales of the family. The spider silk would allow her to have power over the military.

“Lady Tristana, I’m planning to go to Canglan City in a few days,” said Su Wan. “If I find a suitable location, I’ll set up a Chamber of Commerce for my territory there. That way, it’ll be easier for you to buy my wares. You wouldn’t need to cross the swamp and suffer a long, arduous journey.”

Su Wan had already discussed it with Xu Yuan. The territory needed to expand its influence and trade with the outside world if it wanted to remain strong.

The swamp posed difficulties for those who wanted to trade with her. It discouraged others from venturing into her territory.

The dwarves were already developing better transportation facilities to travel to different destinations. When the Sandworms grew up, they could be used for deliveries of wares.

It was the logical next step to set up a Chamber of Commerce in Canglan City to make it convenient for trading.

“At Canglan City? That’s great!” said Trsitana.

The long journey had tired her too much. She wasn’t accustomed to warm weather. If possible, she never wanted to travel through swamps again.

“Lord Su Wan, I have a manor in Canglan City. It’s not very big, but it’s decent. I can give that to you so that you can set up the Chamber of Commerce. It’ll be a token of my friendship,” said Tristana.

Su Wan looked at her with emotion. Tristana was very ambitious and generous. Nobody could say that the eldest daughter of the Frostwolf family hadn’t tried her hardest.
