Chapter 1567 1553. Transaction
Suldak stood at the gate of the material warehouse, watching the Marquis of Worcester Caesar leave on horseback.
The military supplies worth 300,000 gold coins were finally converted into 180,000 gold coins. This time, Suldak only took out 7,200 unidentified black magic crystals, and bought the goods.
These materials will be transported to the Aegrod Camp at the North Pass of the Moyunling Highland in the next period of time.
All along, Suldak has purchased supplies from Hailansa City, and then supported the Aegrod tribe through the Void Gate.
It's just that once this kind of thing is targeted, it may not be explained in the end, unless he wants to announce the secret of the Void Gate to the public...
Now I have bought the batch of armaments brought by the reinforcements at a low price. Although we have checked the source of these materials in detail, we will still find problems in them, but no one will study them carefully, so these reinforcements have become Surda. Ke supports the reasonable explanation of the Aigeluodi tribe.
Although the supplies from the Moyunling Highlands were successfully sold, Marquis Worcester Caesar did not show any joy on his face.
Marquis Nishizawa planned to make a fortune in this expedition, but unfortunately, due to their misjudgment of the situation in the Moyunling Highlands, the reinforcements were forced to withdraw halfway...
Although the reinforcements in Handanal City are not annihilated, they are not much better than annihilated.
Post-war pensions, loss of various materials, and huge casualties of the legion, these alone will make some noble lords who live in a difficult life declare bankruptcy.
Although Marquis Caesar didn't say much, Suldak alone could see the tiredness in his eyes...
This is a plane war. Once the war fails, a huge price will be paid to make up for it.
"Dak, do you want to go to the free market together?" Signa stood on an arrow tower in the barracks, waved at Suldak and asked loudly.
In the West Route Army camp, almost no one dared to call Suldak's name like that.
Suldak raised his head, looked at Signa sitting on the steps of the Arrow Tower against the light, walked towards the West Route Army camp, and asked, "Do you want to buy something?"
"I don't have anything to buy, I just want to go shopping!" Signa said crisply.
Her little face was washed very clean, and a pair of **** eyes were flickering, full of desire to turn around.
"Okay, let's go..."
Suldak agreed.
If it was in Bena City, a child as old as Signa might have to go to the academy, but she could only follow Selina on the battlefield of the Warsaw plane, blowing the north wind on the Moyunling Highland. wind…
Signa cheered, then held her skirt in both hands, ran down the steps quickly, and rushed out from the gate of the camp.
Then he held Surdak's arm intimately and walked towards the free market below the hillside.
The surrounding guards wanted to follow up, but Suldak waved them back...
…
The infantry soldiers of the reinforcements sold all kinds of belongings in the free market in the southern mountain pass, in order to reduce the burden on the next trip.
These belongings are so cheap that they can be sold for money, but there are still a large number of such worthless second-hand goods in the free market, such as small cooking pots blackened by campfires, sleeping bags sewn from rabbit skins and wolf fur mattresses, and some fire starters. The flint used, or a sewing kit, glass bottles filled with various seasonings, and even pillows, eye masks, earplugs, etc.
Priscilla squatted in front of a booth, looking at the dazzling array of products on the sheets, she didn't know which ones to buy for a while...
She is a member of the temple guards and has been with Delia for three years.
This time she came to the West Route Army camp in Nanshan Pass, which was very rewarding for her.
She finally saw the outside world, which was a completely different life from the Aegrod tribe. Although it seemed quite dangerous, she liked adventure and hunting.
She was wearing a very simple leather vest, a leather skirt that couldn't cover her thighs, and she was barefoot.
A sharp, unsheathed dagger was strapped to her bronzed thigh, and her messy hair was tied on top of her head.
She took a fancy to a copper kettle, a copper pipe with a copper mouth, and a hand ax with a broken blade on the booth. She picked these items out of the many products in the booth, and placed them in front of her. The vendor of the bandages spoke a string of Aboriginal languages.
The stall owner is a veteran of the reinforcements in Handanal City. He set up a stall in the market just to get rid of some things that can't be carried away.
He stared impatiently at Priscilla, an indigenous woman, and felt that she didn't even have a pocket, and she didn't have the money to buy these things. It was a waste of time to squat in front of the booth, and these indigenous people still had a strange smell. smell.
The aboriginal woman in front of him was not beautiful, with thick lips, as strong as a man, and her biceps and ten-pack abdominal muscles made him lose any illusions.
He didn't even bother to look at the collar of the leather vest, it was really no different from a man's chest...
When he heard the aboriginal woman speak a string of aboriginal language, he casually said: "I don't even understand what you are talking about, go away quickly, don't affect my business here..."
Priscilla couldn't understand what the stall owner was saying, but she could also understand the stall owner's disgusted eyes and driving gestures, and repeated loudly to the stall owner: "I want to buy these three items, you can sell them to me. Is it? Or should I exchange something with you?"
Seeing that Priscilla really wanted to buy it, the veteran thought for a while, took out a silver coin from his bag and put it in front of the three items, and said, "One silver coin...you can buy...these three things!"
Priscilla finally figured out that this stall owner didn't want to exchange, he only wanted the currency of the empire.
As an aboriginal of the tribe, Priscilla didn't have this thing in her hands, but she had seen the knights in the Constructed Knights take some golden coins to exchange for magic crystals with their companions in the guard, probably silver coins It was also one of the coins, so he took out the necklace from his neck.
This necklace, which looks like it is made of straw rope, is not only tied with two magic crystals, but also a black magic crystal, and the rest are colorful gemstones the size of walnuts.
The necklace hung around her neck, hidden by the collar of her leather vest, and the veteran hadn't noticed it before.
Randomly tore off a black magic crystal from the straw necklace, Priscilla felt that this dark stone was not beautiful, so she wanted to take it out and exchange it.
When the veteran saw the black magic crystal that Priscilla handed over, his eyes became a little straight.
Although it has been more than a month since I came to the Moyunling Highlands, I have fought more than a dozen battles with the evil ghost fighters, and I have always been chased and beaten by the evil ghosts... But for this veteran, he really It was the first time I saw the Black Magic Crystal.
He stretched out his hand to take the Black Magic Crystal...
Even if it is to give everything on the stall to this indigenous woman.
"This magic spar is fine, but I don't have that much change, so I can't find it... Or you can pick up more goods from this booth, and you can take whatever you want!" The veteran pointed to the goods on his booth and gestured Said in a planned way.
Priscilla understood that the stall owner asked her to choose more, and it seemed that what the constructed knights said was true, this kind of spar was very valuable.
Priscilla was very happy, and immediately picked out a helmet that could be used as a cooking pot at the booth, then went to get the silver-handled dagger, and then her eyes fell on the craftsman's hammer.
The veteran put the square-headed hammer in front of Priscilla without saying a word, and after thinking for a while, he took out the tower shield placed behind him, spread it on the ground, and took out all the pieces Priscilla had chosen. Everything fits into the shield.
Regardless of whether she could understand the imperial language, she said casually: "These things can be taken away. Although their value is far from the value of this magic spar, trading such things is what you like. If you are willing to exchange, just nod, if you don't want to, just take something you like..."
The old soldier muttered, pointed to the magic spar in Priscilla's hand, motioned for her to hand it to him, and then pushed the shield full of things to Priscilla's feet.
Priscilla finally figured it out, such a black spar can be exchanged for so many good things.
She passed the magic spar over without hesitation, then picked up the kettle, twisted the round lid curiously, with a joyful smile on her face.
When the veteran received the magic spar, his hands trembled a little. He tried his best to control the rhythm of his breathing so that he would not be so excited, and then grabbed the magic spar and wiped it vigorously on his trouser legs.
Omg! It was still an unidentified black magic crystal, and the veteran was so happy that he was about to faint.
He wished he could leave the market immediately. It doesn't matter if all the goods on the stall are discarded, as long as there is such a black magic crystal, it is enough.
The veteran wanted to sneak away with the Black Magic Crystal while Priscilla was looking at the Craftsman's Hammer.
There are a lot of people in this free market. As long as he sneaks into the crowd and sneaks back to the camp, I believe this native woman will never find him again.
Just as he was about to leave the booth, he suddenly found a hand on his shoulder.
He trembled with fright, looked up and saw Suldak looking at him calmly.
Signa followed behind Suldak, staring at the veteran with disdain.
Suldak didn't say anything excessive, looked at the silent veteran, and just said to him in Imperial language:
"It is difficult to build mutual trust between the natives of the tribe and the people of the Green Empire. There is an unfairness in this transaction. I know the problem is not with you, but because she doesn't understand market conditions, but since you are setting up a stall in this free market, I want you to deal fairly."
The veteran didn't know Surdak, but he could see the noble badge on his chest.
Although Suldak has been to the reinforcement camp twice, he usually wears the magic pattern structure, and the veteran can only glance at it from a distance.
Now that Suldak was standing in front of him, he didn't know that this was the supreme commander of the West Route Army.
Although he didn’t know the identity of Suldak, the veteran could only stand obediently in front of the booth and listen to Suldak’s lectures only with the aristocratic badge on Suldak’s chest.
Suldak didn’t directly tell the aboriginal female warrior that the deal was unfair, he turned around, and said gently to Priscilla in the aboriginal language:
"Show me what you bought..."
Of course Priscilla knew Suldak, and she actually met the lord in the free market. She immediately got down on one knee, put her right hand on her left shoulder, and saluted Suldak. She said in the native language: "Priscilla joined the lord."
Suldak smiled slightly, feeling that he really didn't mind this nosy business this time.
It occurred to me that these guard soldiers should be gathered together as soon as possible to popularize the knowledge of the imperial currency and market prices to them.
At this time, many people have gathered around.
No matter where you are, there are always spectators.
Suldak reached out and took back the black magic crystal from the veteran, put it in the palm of his hand, and then introduced to Priscilla in the native language:
"Like this kind of unidentified magic spar, one can be exchanged for... one... two... three... four... fifteen gold coins."
"Such a gold coin can be exchanged for a hundred silver coins. Such a gold coin can buy all the items on his shield. The most valuable items here should be the silver-handled dagger and the shield itself. Of course, this craftsman's hammer is also Not bad, but it's worth two silver pieces at best."
"The things in this market are so cheap?" Priscilla asked with a look of surprise.
She doesn't know much about arithmetic. From Suldak's introduction, she only knows that one black magic crystal can be exchanged for many gold coins, and one gold coin can buy everything.
Suldak smiled, and continued in the native language:
"Cheap? Oh, no! You may not understand the market conditions here. These are used by others and cannot be regarded as brand new, so they will be discounted when they are brought to the market..."
The onlookers did not dare to criticize a nobleman, but many people pointed at the veteran, blaming him for using disgraceful means to make profits.
The old soldier stood in front of the booth with a flushed face, not daring to leave without permission...
With the help of Suldak, the aborigine female warrior exchanged one magic spar for a bag of coins, which contained fourteen gold coins and one hundred silver coins, and she exchanged one gold coin for all the coins on the shield. The goods, and finally completed the transaction with the veteran.
After the transaction was over, Priscilla tied the fourteen gold coins to the necklace, grinning very happily.
The veteran didn’t expect that the deal would be completed in the end, so he stood in front of the booth holding a gold coin, feeling mixed feelings for a while.
Suldak didn't criticize the veteran too much. After helping the female guard Priscilla to complete the deal, he let Signa pull her away.
…
Waiting until the afternoon, what everyone didn't expect was that Priscilla, an aboriginal female warrior, came to the free market with a group of companions.
They, a group of aboriginal warriors, specially selected some metal utensils on the stalls, copper, iron, and silver inlaid. As long as the stall owner said that they could sell them, they took out a silver coin from their pockets and handed them over, and readily handed over all these utensils. buy it.
Throughout the afternoon, Priscilla and her companions bought a lot of second-hand goods.
She is going to take these utensils back to the tribe. The people in the tribe have never seen these good things. As for whether they are second-hand goods, it doesn't matter to her at all.
During the next two days, the soldiers of this guard army actually swept up the goods in the free market, which can be regarded as a complete and indirect solution to the problem that the reinforcement soldiers' belongings could not be sold in the free market at all...
It also made the reinforcement infantry soldiers completely give up their plans to throw away these useless belongings.
And the merchants in the free market finally realized that a group of brand new consumer groups had arrived at the southern mountain pass camp.
They are stupid and have a lot of money. They want to buy everything they see, and they don’t care about the new or the old. As long as the things they bring out are novel enough and they can use them, they like to buy some things they usually use for cooking. wok...
After two weeks of repairing at the southern mountain pass, the reinforcements of Handanal City finally left the camp at the southern mountain pass with a team of carriages under the leadership of the three marquises and headed towards the southern foot of Moyunling. Going into the canyon...
