Transcendent Noble

"Honorable lord, I was originally a freelance trader in Black Castle Town. Because of the ant plague in Centaur Hills, I formed a caravan with a few colleagues and hired Warhammer. mercenary group, selling goods everywhere..." Seeing Garrote Baron's interest, Wage felt confident, and became more and more explanatory.

In this era, there are neither newspapers nor the Internet. The channels for information dissemination are limited and the speed is slow. Even ordinary persons like to listen to bards, caravans, mercenaries and refugees telling stories about beyond a thousand li The story, not to mention the lord nobles who need to know the situation everywhere.

Garrott Baron was not interested in Wedge's business experience, but he was very concerned about the scale of Black Castle Town, the characteristics of Ant-Man, the process and consequences of the ant plague, and he personally asked many questions.

Wage is a shrewd man. He didn’t intend to tell the relationship between caravan and mountain people. Since Baron doesn’t care about the core content of Shang Dao, he is happy to focus on describing the terroir of Gambis. Favors, local special product prices, ant plague and Centaur Hills situation.

Actually, Wedge’s knowledge is very limited, but as a slick and sophisticated businessman, his instincts are his instincts, and his sharp teeth are his strengths. He calmly grasped the rhythm of the conversation. Not only does Garrote Baron’s concerns lively and vividly narrate, but he also brags about the achievements and potential of the freelance caravan without a trace. Even the hammer who witnessed the ant plague was attracted by Witch's story. Others listened to it with keen interest pleasure, and Garrott Baron smiled from time to time. Unconsciously, the atmosphere in the hall became relaxed.

Witch spent a long time talking, satisfying the curiosity of the Naville people. Garrott Baron finally asked: "What business are you planning to do in my territory?" On the nightsaber’s head, he immediately shivered and said obediently and honestly: “We want to buy Fire Element crystals.

The top element crystals can be given to Peak Knight as gifts, like Garrott. Such a small lord is not qualified to dig up the top crystals to indulge Peak Knight, but the nobles will buy his crystals for 50,000 jinshor, or provide other support. Ordinary elemental crystals can also be sold after being polished by a master. A good price, and natural elemental crystals are not as valuable as gemstone ore. But no matter the price is high or low, elemental crystals are only circulated among the aristocracy, a freelance merchant should not understand this thing.

Wei Qi pointed out that he wanted to purchase Fire Element crystals, which surprised Garrott. He suspected that this freelance trader from Centaur Hills was instigated by a nobleman, because the only person in Knight who could use Fire Element crystals was Queen Rose. However, Will Queen Rose lack the Fire Element crystal?

With such doubts, Garrott winked at Steward Vidal, instructed: "Go get the Fire Element crystal." "

Vidal turned and walked towards the storeroom. After a while, he placed a box in front of Witch, opened it and said: "these all are Fire Element crystals. "

There are a total of 17 crystals in the box. There are large and small. The large is about the size of the palm of the hand. The small is only the size of a fingernail, and the colors are different. Wedge and the hammer looked at each other. , They are all ignorant.

Seeing this scene, Garrott Baron knows. It should be a certain "a nobody" from Centaur Hills who wants to create a set of Fire Element crystal jewelry, please please Queen Rose, it's a pity that this "a nobody" doesn't understand Fire Element crystals at all. He doesn't even have a caravan, so he found a freelance merchant to purchase crystals.

He didn't even dare to report his name. The character can only be an unknown person. Garrott lost his interest in inquiry, but had the desire to make money. He decided to kill him: "Fire Element crystal is very precious, 100 goldsore per ounce, there is almost 200 ounces inside. , You pay 18,000 goldsor. "

These Fire Element crystals were sold in the capital of Naville, and they were worth 600 goldsore. Garrot lion's big mouth offered a sky-high price of 18,000 goldsor, just want to be ruthless. Kill that "a nobody" with a knife.

What is the concept of 18,000 Kingsall? A seven-member leader family, working for a year, can earn almost 20 to 30 Kingsall. Wage is in Black Castle Town’s business for a year has earned more than 100 kinsols in profit. War Bear Mercenaries have survived, and the entire income from start to finish is not 10,000 kinsols. Such a huge sum of money can make the hammer take risks. .

As a new vassal, Hammer doesn’t understand what channels are and what terminals are. His understanding of the task is to make more money and attract more people to join. So far , Everything went smoothly. More than fifty mountain men and women were either forced or voluntarily joined the mercenary group. They also earned 8,000 jinsore and dozens of white crystals, plus 10 purple crystals from Victor. Gold coin, Warhammer mercenary group has a fortune of more than 30,000 gold sols.

Warhammer mercenary group got 18,000 gold coins, but the hammer knows more about the consequences of the money!

Neither Hammer nor Wedge knows the market for Fire Element crystals, and can't even tell the authenticity. Fortunately, Wedge understands the characteristics of rubies and ruby ​​garnets, and he can be sure that these crystals in front of him are not traditional gems. And the hammer knows very well. Lord Naville’s nature, because he was born as a Naville mountain citizen.

In Hammer’s view, Baron lion’s big mouth is inevitable. If you take out the money happily, there will be trouble behind. It’s just started. In Naville, the mountain people in different villages had to beat their heads for a few bags of salt, a few carts of food, and a few women. What's more, they were rich fat sheep? Even if Garrot Baron let them go. , The mountain people led by Baron will also come out to grab one. Besides, for a dozen crystals that are not known to be true or false, it costs 18,000 goldsore. It must be that the head is pinched by the ass of the cow, and it has been filled with brains. Shit! The hammer now only wants to follow the rules of the Naville people, he wants to rob the crystal!

During the War Bear Mercenaries, the hammer has cooperated with Dodo's Knight many times, and he has a deep respect for Knight. Not as good as a freelance trader. On the way, the hammer is walking with the bull, and he can faintly feel the strength of Victor's deep and unmeasurable , By no means a small lord like Garrot Baron can match.

Knight is indeed powerful, but it has to kneel in the face of ten bulls! I am strong and you are weak. I am sorry if you don't grab the Naville tradition. However, the hammer's ability to live to the present shows that he is not a reckless person.

Anyway, Garrott Baron and his Knight are always going back to the capital, and it’s not too late to do it again after they leave. I just don’t know if they will bring crystals, maybe they should send Chen Falcon to stare at...

"I will not come out with a copper Thor!"

" What are you talking about?!" Garrott Baron glared at Witch.

Witch doesn't know Fire Element crystal, but he also knows that Baron kills him as a fat sheep. As a businessman, his head can be broken, blood can flow, fat sheep is absolutely impossible to do! While the hammer was thinking about how to rob, Witch was thinking about how to step up and buy low.

Following Baron’s cannibalistic gaze, Witch said with a smile flatly: "My honorable lord, I have a better proposal, which will definitely satisfy you!"

Witch took the coarse linen pocket in Manniu's hand, took out a sealed clay pot from it, and handed it to Vidal Steward. At Witch’s gesture, Vidal broke open the cork with a knife, looked at the contents, smelled it again, and asked blankly: "What is this?"

"This is ......Um...Purple sugar...Yes! Purple sugar! A specialty of Centaur Hills." Witch twisted up a square brown sugar, threw it into his mouth, and said, "It tastes very good. Sweet!"

Vidal didn't know that Witch had changed the brown sugar a nice name, he also picked up a piece of "purple sugar" and put it in his mouth, and then his whole expression was relaxed. Seeing his steward frowned, eating one piece after another, Garrott Baron quickly beckoned him to come.

The sugar bowl was placed on the table, Baron saw a small purple square inside, smelling a delicate fragrance, he frowned and asked: "What smell?"

Vidal unceremoniously grabbed two more pieces, and said as he ate: "Um...it's sweet...a bit like honey..."

Garrott Baron doesn’t know how to eat things of unknown origin. He turned his gaze to Witch, and Witch said hastily: “My honorable lord, both purple sugar and purple cane wine are made from Centaur Hills purple cane. I use my life. Guarantee, it is definitely edible!"

"Master, the taste of purple sugar is sweet and fragrant, and it is better than honey. If it is sealed in a container and stored for more than 3 years, purple sugar will not deteriorate. Purple. The sugar can be eaten directly, soaked in water, or added to the cream. When roasting, apply some purple sugar to the meat. The taste of the meat is very delicious..."

Weiqi began to introduce The various benefits of purple sugar, when he said that purple sugar will not deteriorate, Garrott was tempted.

The boulder mountain range in the north of Naville is rich in mineral resources. It is the most important iron essence and iron production area of ​​the human kingdom. Before the Borui people developed the seven islands, there were still fine gold mines. In the main producing area, even now, there are 12 fine gold mines and 2 mythril veins in the boulder mountain range, and to the north of the boulder mountain range is the northern wilderness where the orcs are rampant.

Orcs and monsters are both intelligent races and they can also use weapons. Kobolds are the best miners, and goblins can build weapons and equipment. The orcs want to seize the mineral resources here. In addition, the goblins and kobolds reproduce too fast. Every few years, the powerful orc clan will drive countless goblins and kobolds to attack the mountain range of the giant stone. The human scholar calls this a beast. tide.

In order to resist the orcs, Rand Empire and the church built the megalithic fortress together 800 years ago, and now Naville Kingdom assumes the responsibility of guarding the megalithic fortress. When the tide of beasts comes, the Boulder Fortress will be besieged for a long time, coupled with the rugged mountain roads and difficult supply, the Naville people have a great demand for easy-to-store food and are sensitive to food storage techniques.

The Naville people were the first to discover that honey and sweet fruits can quickly restore the strength of soldiers. However, honey is a luxury item, and fruits are perishable. The Naville people tried to make wine with the local specialty green cherry fruit, but unfortunately they were too sour to swallow, but they still invented "fruit meat" and candied green cherry fruit. The so-called "fruit meat" is to store the green cherry fruit and meat layer by layer in a large bucket to make the meat easier to preserve. Although the taste is poor, it does not require a lot of water like bacon. As for the candied green cherry, it is a world-famous delicacy that only the nobles can enjoy.

Garrot Baron didn’t care whether the purple sugar was poisonous at this time. He tasted a piece, and suddenly a sweet taste melted on the tongue buds, not as sweet and greasy as honey. With a delicate fragrance, the taste is very good.

Garrott asked calmly: "What is the price of purple sugar in Centaur Hills?"

Wedge said without the slightest hesitation: "32 Copper Sol A pound! More expensive than salt." He deliberately reported 5 copper sols.

"How much do you have?"

"800 pounds." Witch hesitated for a moment, or said obediently and honestly.

"hmph!" Garrott said with a sneer: "800 pounds of purple sugar, you just want to exchange 18,000 kinsol elemental crystals? Maybe my whip can make you sober."

"Honorable lord, I still have a gift to offer to you." Witch bowed deeply and took out another jar from the bag.

"What is this again?" Steward Vidal asked curiously.

Witch took out a purple fruit from the jar and threw it into his mouth, and said: "This is a preserved fruit pickled with thick...purple sugar."

Dahl unceremoniously grabbed a handful and stuffed it in his mouth, "Um... it's delicious... it's better than the green cherry preserves!"

"You Old Dog! Have you ever eaten candied green sakura?" Garrott Baron snatched the jar.

Vidal wiped his mouth, smiled hehe and said: "I have eaten! I have eaten it three years ago."

"Master, in the wind season, we use Gambis Green cherry fruit and purple sugar make this candied fruit. Of course, the quality and size of Gambis green cherry fruit cannot be compared with Naville's green cherry fruit..." Witch saw Garrott carefully observe the fruit in his hand. Candied fruit quickly explained: "This...the appearance is a little worse, but the taste is definitely not worse than the honey-pickled green cherry fruit!"

The honey-pickled green cherry fruit is amber. It is crystal clear and near-transparent like a gem, and this candied green cherry is purple to black with a layer of oily appearance. In terms of appearance, ordinary nobles will definitely not eat it, but it does not include the lord of Naville. Garrott Baron ate one. The sweet and sour taste was really unique, and he liked it very much.

Witch seized the opportunity and said: "My noble lord, Naville's candied cherry blossoms are sold for 140 copper sols in the Eastern Province and 300 copper sols in Centaur Hills."

The corner of Garrote Baron’s eyes twitched. The sale price of Candied Sakura in the Royal Capital of Naville is 32 copper sol each.

"Naville's honey sells 6 kinsols per pound in the Eastern Province and 10 kinsols per pound in Centaur Hills!"

Garrot Baron's heart is more Pain, the price of honey he sold to Chamber of Commerce was 1 Kingsor per pound.

"Lord Lord, Naville's green cherry fruit covering the mountains and plains, because the fruit is too sour and there is too little honey, it rots in vain every year."

Weech eagerly He said: "One pound of honey can pickle two pounds of green cherry fruit, about 150, and each pound of purple sugar can pickle 100 green cherry fruit. The price of purple sugar is much lower than that of honey."

"I know what you mean!" Garrott Baron shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, it's too cheap!"

"Fief lord is wise!" Witch began to call himself Baron's retainer, he nodded said with a bowed waist: "How can such cheap purple candy be eaten by the noble master!"

"So, I still have a gift!"

Weiqi cautiously out of the bag Hold out a box made of silver with a gold border. Wedge's solemn appearance made Steward Vidal take a lot of caution when taking the box.

Garrot Baron stared at the fine crystals in the box like frostsaixue, and asked curiously: "What is this?"

"Snow sugar! Also called frosting sugar! "Witch said with a serious face: "Fief lord may not have heard of its reputation, because this thing is only given away but not sold!"

"Snow sugar is also a specialty of Centaur Hills, but the noble York family Never sell snow candies. Only the great nobles of Gambis can get gifts from the York family! However, some caravans will buy snow candies in Black Castle Town for 30 jinshor per pound! Of course, no matter how high they are, You can’t buy snow sugar at the price."

"Fief lord, please sprinkle a little snow sugar on the candied fruit, and take a look."

The snow sugar falls on the candied fruit, Immediately stuck by the oily honey juice, the fine snow-white crystals gleamed in the light, and the purple black candied fruit looks like a gorgeous coat, which is dazzling and makes people love it and covet it.

Garrot Baron couldn't help but ate another one. He only felt that the taste this time was ten times better than the last one. Witch saw Baron's enjoyment expression, knowing that the time was ripe, opened the mouth and said: "Noble lord, I don't have 18,000 goldsoul, as long as you give me the Fire Element crystal, I can let you continuously gain wealth !"

"And then?" Garrott Baron said with a smile.

"Then, I will be responsible for sending raw sugar and snow sugar, and your person is responsible for pickling the new candied fruit. I will purchase your candied fruit for 20 copper sols per grain."

"Honey green cherry fruit is sold to Centaur Hills for 300 coppers per piece. You will bid 20 coppers for this kind of snow candy?" Garrot said with a sneer.

"Master, I did a trip to the dealer to know what business is. The price I offer is a little lower, but I can manage it up and down. Taxes are collected everywhere, and transportation costs are all costs." Weiqi concealed a glance After taking a look at Baron, he whispered: "It depends on your ability to provide the Fire Element crystal."

Garrot Baron agreed with Witch in his heart. Naville's grain trade is monopolized by Marquis Sophia's Chamber of Commerce, and the wine trade is monopolized by the Ephesus family of the Borui Kingdom. Now Marquis Sophia has also begun to get involved in the wine trade. Her purple cane wine is very popular in Naville. For this reason, the two Chamber of Commerce are fighting endlessly, but no matter how the two Great Chamber of Commerce fight, the Chamber of Commerce of other families cannot shake their status.

The two Great Chamber of Commerce made a lot of money in Naville, and Garrott was jealous. He and several other families jointly formed a caravan and wanted to get a share, but lost Lost money. Regardless of the issue of bandits and transportation, the lords collecting taxes at various levels will make them too much to bear, and the joint caravans can only die.

Garrott Baron's understanding of trade is much deeper than that of Wedge. Goods are only one aspect, and business is the key. The prospect of snow sugar candied fruit is good, but if it is handed over to the two Great Chamber of Commerce, the price will only be lowered, and it will also offend the family that produces candied fruit. From this point of view, the snow sugar candied fruit must find another way to make money.

"Master!" Steward Vidal stared at the golden light and shook Garrot Baron's arm vigorously.

Garrot Baron shook off Vidal, said with a laugh: "Okay! You leave the purple and snow sugar, you can roll! Vidal took the crystal back to the storeroom."

The smile instantly solidified on Wedge's fat face.
