Chapter 98: Montreal
At dusk, the Mamluks indeed dispatched a party into the Knightly Order's camp. They lifted heavy wooden chests from the backs of camels and carried them into Lothar's tent. Opening them, he saw they were filled with gold and silver utensils, coins, and gemstones.
Many items were difficult to appraise; if sold to the system shop, they probably wouldn't fetch eight thousand gold coins. But that was because the system shop was inherently a rip-off and didn't consider "added artistic value" at all. If he slowly sold off those gemstones and gold and silver utensils, rather than just taking their precious metal value, exchanging them for eight thousand Solidus gold coins would be more than enough.
The Mamluks kept their promise, and Lothar naturally reciprocated, generously agreeing to their request for an audience with their master.
