Chapter 137 Ore Trading (ask for a monthly ticket, recommendation ticket)
Sveta walked around the manor after relaying the news to Ruilai. Finally, from Leo who was carrying red wine in the wine cellar, he learned that the master had gone to the garden just now.
So he hurried to the back of the castle.
At this time, Leiter had left the warehouse and was strolling leisurely among the flowers, breathing in the fragrance of flowers.
Suddenly saw Sveta trotting towards him, his heart moved, and he asked curiously:
"Sveta, you look very anxious now, what happened?"
"My lord, hoo, there is indeed something very important!" Perhaps he was getting old, and Sveta was panting a little after running for a few steps.
"Don't worry, take a breath and speak slowly."
After his breathing stabilized, Sveta said while wiping the sweat on his forehead, "I just met the troops at the canyon defense line, and they headed in the direction of Twilight City.
But when I passed by our territory just now, I learned that I am the housekeeper here, so let me pass on the news to the master—the front line is buying a large amount of ore. "
"Oh? How about the price they gave?" Leiter was delighted in his heart, but asked casually on the surface.
"Well, I don't remember this clearly, because the types are too complicated. I just remember that they said that the lowest ore type has a premium of 1.4 times, and the highest seems to be 2.2 times..." Sveta touched his forehead with a look on his face. Thinking hard.
"What? 1.4 times to 2.2 times the premium acquisition? Are you sure you heard it right?" Leiter was shocked. Although he knew about the premium acquisition, the range still surprised him a little.
"Yes, sir. Although the summer weather is hot and anxious, my mind remains clear."
"Where are they now?" Leiter took a big step, ready to catch up.
"Don't worry, master!" Seeing Leiter's intentions, Sveta hurriedly stopped him: "When I returned to the manor just now, I met Master Ruilai first, and I have passed the news to him.
Master Ruilai is now riding Baige to catch up with the troops at the canyon defense line. "
Hearing this sentence, Leiter stopped in his footsteps, his expression relaxed, and he patted Sveta on the shoulder, "Well... well done, Sveta.
You just said it was hot? Then, you can go back to the castle and ask Cook Maru to make a cup of mung bean smoothie. "
"It's a good idea, but there is no ice in the kitchen." Sveta felt a little regretful.
"Don't worry, I saw Ruilai early in the morning, and I helped condense a bucket of ice cubes, and now the reserves are very rich."
"This is great, I'm going to find Cook Maru now." Sveta asked with a smile, "Master, would you like a drink?"
"Well, it's okay. I need to add some small pudding and blueberry jam." Rhett thought for a while and said.
"Don't worry, take care of me." Sveta bowed.
Baige carried Ruilai, and ran wildly on all fours in the wilderness, chasing for more than half an hour.
Finally saw a black shadow in the distance ahead.
Ruilai showed a look of joy on his face, and urged: "Man, speed up and catch up with the black shadow in front!"
Roar!
Baige raised his head and let out a low growl, the cyan air around his body became faintly stronger, his eyes stared sharply ahead, and his speed reached the extreme!
finally.
When there is less than one kilometer left.
The team in front stopped actively.
Many people turned their heads back in unison, obviously noticing the rear, and someone has been following them.
A team of hundreds of people, all wearing black armor, with two hard feathers inserted into the helmet, one pale gold and one bright red.
There are hundreds of pack horses behind them, pulling large open trucks made of gray metal, which makes the team look quite spectacular.
Before Ruilai approached, a soldier broke away from the rear of the team and quickly dodged in front of Ruilai.
"Stop ahead, who are you?" The soldier pushed a palm, his words tinged with danger.
"Hi, I'm from Young Eagle Town—Ruilai, Leit Green is my father." Ruilai first introduced himself, and after the other party's expression eased, he began to explain: "I just heard from the housekeeper that you seem to be buying ore ?”
Knowing the other party's identity, the soldier looked relieved, and said: "That's right, the battle ahead has been tense recently, and the demand for minerals is huge. No matter how much you come, you can eat it!"
Ruilai looked happy: "That's a coincidence, to be honest, there are about 1.5 tons of ore reserves in our territory..."
"Is this true?" The soldier was startled, and interrupted before Ruilai finished speaking.
"You can send someone to go to the territory to verify for yourself." Relai shrugged, and at the same time, he felt like he was dreaming. In the past half a week, he often thought about the purpose of his father's storage of so many ores. Who can eat more than one ton? I don't have so many blacksmiths in my own territory, what should I do if it's rotten in my hand?
Until today, he finally woke up!
Presumably based on the news of my father and Deputy Commander Ambiru, when we met last time, I inquired about some important news on the front line from his mouth. Perhaps it was because of this that he captured this opportunity?
As expected of a father!
"Okay! Wait a moment, I'll report this to the officer."
Da da da
The soldier returned on his horse, and seemed to be right in front of the team.
About a minute later, the troops in front set off in the direction of Twilight City again.
But more than 20 people stayed behind, and with dozens of carriages, they set off in the opposite direction.
We stopped in front of Ruilai.
A tall and burly man with a scar slanted across his face, wearing a black armor, with a two-handed sword obliquely inserted in his waist, almost dragging to the ground.
"Hello, Rayleigh.
I'm Abiru's second captain—Snowway.
I heard that... Young Eagle Town has a lot of ore? "
"Exactly."
After being confirmed, Snowy's eyes revealed a hint of joy. He didn't care about the source of the large amount of ore, but said in a thick voice: "Great, please take us for a trip. The price will definitely satisfy you."
"I am more than happy, please follow me."
The lobby on the first floor of Deep Rock Castle.
Rett was sitting on a chair, using a delicate iron spoon to dig out the mung bean smoothie covered with a layer of blue-purple jam in a crystal cup.
One spoonful, the blueberry jam, pudding, mung bean paste and smoothie are mixed together, and the taste buds are paralyzed and stimulated. The sweetness is slightly sour, and it feels refreshing.
"Oh, this mung bean smoothie is quite good." Leiter held the spoon in his hand, just looked directly at the fiery red lines on it, and said with a little surprise: "But this spoon seems to be made of fire-striped ore. Wouldn't it go well with a smoothie?
As soon as the smoothie touches the spoon, it turns into water, which spoils the taste a bit! "
Sveta, who came out of the kitchen, also held a glass of smoothie in his hand, but the container was just an ordinary glass, which looked ordinary, and he used an ordinary off-white iron spoon.
Hearing Leiter's words, Sveta quickened his pace, quickly walked out of the passage, pointed to a thinner figure in the hall, and said in a stern tone: "Shar, I think your mind must be hot and confused in summer. That's right, that's the soup spoon prepared for the master and young master to drink soup in winter, who asked you to bring it now?"
Then he walked up to Leiter dejectedly, "I'm sorry, sir.
Please forgive my stupidity, give me a chance, I must change my past! "
Rett held the handle of the spoon, stood it upright, took a second look, and said to Sveta, "Well, the spoon is exquisitely crafted, very good. Did you contact the blacksmith to make it?"
"It's not me, it's Master Ruilai. He said that with this kind of spoon, after the young masters are born in winter, whether they drink milk or soup, they don't need to be iced by the spoon." Sveta paused and praised : "Master Ruilai is really caring!"
"Oh, that's really thoughtful!" Rhett smiled, and said to Shar, "Please put it in its original place and clean it well.
By the way... get me a new spoon.
"Don't take it with your dirty hands, remember to clean it and put it on a tray." Sveta quickly added.
Shal's expression was moved: "Thank you for your tolerance, master, I'll go right away!"
Half an hour later, Leiter finished the smoothie with a new spoon.
"Sir, would you like another drink?"
"No need, eating too much sweet things will make you tired." Leiter put the empty cup on the dining table, and said softly, "Why hasn't Ruilai come back yet?"
"I'll go out and have a look." Sveta turned and walked towards the gate of the castle.
Not long after, he came back with Rilai and went to the kitchen to inform Cook Maru to prepare for the upcoming luncheon.
Rilei said to Leiter happily: "Father, the second captain of Deputy Commander Abilu is here, and this time he is in charge of purchasing military supplies. They have already arrived outside the manor!"
"Second Captain...Snowe?" A look of surprise flashed in Leiter's eyes, and he sat up suddenly, "Go, I want to welcome the guests!"
He and Snowe are old acquaintances, and both belong to the subordinate of Deputy Commander Abiru.
Coming to the gate of the manor, Rhett saw Snowway, and the two exchanged pleasantries.
Later, during the process of inviting him into the manor, he noticed dozens of carriages behind, more than enough to load his ore.
The two stepped on the green lawn and walked in the front. Snowway said with a little emotion: "Sir Leiter, it seems that you have developed very well after retiring. It is remarkable to do this on the southwest border."
"Hehe, it's just luck." Leiter smiled, then turned serious, and asked, "I just heard that the battle on the front line has escalated again?"
Snowway also became serious, and nodded: "That's right. The number of orcs has increased sharply since two months ago.
Our casualty rate and material consumption have also suddenly increased a lot.
If this continues, I am afraid that in a few months, it is time to raise the alarm on the southwest border! "Snowway narrowed his eyes.
Even though he knew the news earlier, Leiter remained silent at this time and quietly led the way to the warehouse.
Looking at the tall, wide and long stone warehouse, Snowway and the soldiers behind him were all amazed.
When Leiter opened the warehouse, the rich elements in it piled up together, which attracted Snowy's eyes, and he walked in quickly.
"Well, bluestone mines, light crystal mines, and fire streaks..." There were not many types of mines, and Snowe quickly identified them, but he was shocked by such a large number.
He gently stroked a piece of translucent light crystal ore, feeling the uneven edges and corners. After a while, the voice came from the depths of the warehouse: "Sir Leiter, how many of these ores do you plan to sell?"
"I want to ask the price first."
"Well, the blue stone mine and the fire pattern madness both have a premium of 1.4 times, and the price of 1 kilogram is 5 gold and 7 silver. The light crystal mine is relatively expensive, the price is higher, and the premium is also higher. After the premium of 1.8 times, the acquisition The price is 10 gold and 8 silver." After Snowy finished speaking, he slowly walked out from the depths of the warehouse and asked, "Sir Leiter, are you satisfied with these prices?"
Leite had already said "agree" several times in his heart, but he still pondered for half a minute on the surface before solemnly saying: "I am willing to sell all of them, hoping to help the frontline war."
He did not haggle, nor did he need to haggle.
This price can allow Leiter to obtain about 70% of the profit.
For only paying a small cost of time and labor, it is indeed a huge profit!
"It is estimated that after this wave, more than 4,000 gold coins can be directly earned..." Leiter secretly calculated in his heart.
The two confirmed the deal, and soon, the soldiers outside began to load ore in carts.
Because of the ore inside, it is not piled up on the ground, but placed in the car.
The knights following Snowway, Leiter could detect that half of them were fourth-level knights, and some of them couldn't even sense any breath from him.
Carts of ore were quickly transferred to the truck behind the team.
In less than half an hour, under the transport of these powerful knights, the ore in the warehouse was empty.
Then, another soldier came from behind, carrying two bags of gold coins in each hand, and placed them in front of Leiter.
After counting, the number is correct.
Rett was in a good mood, and politely extended the invitation: "Captain Snowway, I sent someone to prepare some snacks. There are also exquisite dishes for the luncheon, why don't you come to my castle and sit down and enjoy it?"
"I don't have such a blessing anymore. Time is tight and tasks are heavy. We need to go to Twilight City, and finally to Firestone City." Snowway patted the dust on his hands and said, "Maybe you will return to the battlefield soon, At that time, we will drink beast wine together."
"I look forward to that day, but... I don't look forward to it either." Leiter looked solemn.
Snowway was silent, and after a while, he tried hard to say in a relaxed tone:
"Yeah, who's okay to hope the war spreads, my brethren...a few have gone."
well
Touching Leiter's elbow, Snowway smiled again, "We can't chat here anymore, we have to hurry up and get on the road."
"I'll walk you to the door."
