Chapter 1533 1520. Black Magic Crystal
Waters Marquis Caesar had a stiff smile on his face, and there was a trace of suspicion in his eyes, like a fox trying to hide in the shadows.
He may feel that Suldak is asking for a lot of money. On the black market in Handanar City, the market price of unidentified black magic crystals flowing out of those adventure groups is about 16 gold coins, which is the price of ordinary black magic crystals. Twice as much as crystals, that is to say, each of these unidentified black magic crystals is worth nine gold coins.
For an ordinary family of three in the Green Empire, the value of such a black magic crystal merit value can allow them to live comfortably in the city of Bena for two years.
Noble lords who purchased unidentified black magic crystals can exchange them for achievements at the military supplies logistics office in the central cities of each province. When the merit value reaches a certain level, their titles can be promoted.
On the contrary, if such plane wars broke out frequently, noble lords need to take the initiative to participate in the war, which is also the way to gain merit.
If a certain nobleman fails to obtain the corresponding merit for several consecutive years, then in terms of title inheritance, when it is passed on to his heirs, he will be downgraded accordingly, just like when Miss Hoyle inherited the title, she was downgraded to viscount because of her lack of merit. .
Marquis Nishizawa's age-indeterminate face put away his smile, and without even saying a word, he turned around and walked towards the steps of the city wall.
Suldak didn't say anything else, but squatted beside Samira and took a lunge, then picked up the golden shield with his right hand.
Swing the shield and draw the sword.
This is the basic movement of the Shield Warrior during normal training. As long as he has time, he will practice every day regardless of the weather.
Marquis Nishizawa walked to the steps of the city wall, looked back at Suldak unwillingly, hesitated for a moment before deciding to walk back, with an expression of 'you won' on his face.
"At the price of twenty gold coins, how many black magic crystals can I exchange at one time?" Marquis Caesar asked.
In his opinion, although he condescended to ask back, although he lost the dignity of a marquis, it was still worth it in the face of interests.
"You and I negotiated for the first time, and I offered you a very reasonable price, but you chose to give up the purchase. Now you are the second time to propose to me the intention to buy the Black Magic Crystal, so this time there will be no more The first purchase is discounted, and now each unidentified black magic crystal is priced at 23 gold coins, do you still want it?"
Suldak stood up straight again, holding the sword and shield in his hand, and asked Marquis Caesar.
"..."
Marquis Nishizawa really wanted to yell at Suldak, 'You are such a dog...', he used his fist to cover his lips, and coughed to stop his urge to curse.
Since he inherited the title from his father, he has rarely had such uncontrollable emotions.
'yes! Do I want more? Of course! Isn't that the only purpose of my coming here? '
Marquis Caesar closed his eyes and said silently in his heart.
It's just that the price is much higher than what he expected, it's simply outrageously high. If the Black Magic Crystal is really bought back at such a high price, no nobleman will entrust him to buy this kind of product in the future. .
So Marquis Nishizawa knew that the price was unfeasible, but this time he left without turning around, because once he turned around and left this time, the Black Magic Crystal deal might be considered a complete blowout.
Looking at the young commander in front of him, who was full of a strong sacred atmosphere, and a rising star among the noble lords of the Bena Province, Marquis Caesar knew that his identity would not play any role in this transaction, on the contrary it was He came with the reinforcements, and served as the logistics officer in the reinforcements, which actually disgusted the young commander.
But he has the confidence to say so...
As a commander of the West Route Army with hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand, I am afraid that there will not be too many people in the entire Bena province who are willing to give in.
Marquis Caesar opened his eyes only three seconds later, then his eyes fell on Suldak again, and asked him:
"What if I choose resource exchange?"
Suldak still said calmly: "That depends on the resources..."
Marquis Nishizawa didn't hold back any more this time, and said directly: "Horse! Gu Bo is here to fight the horse!"
Suldak laughed when he heard Marquis Caesar's words, as if he had seen a happy sitcom in the theater. After a while, he put away his smile and said to Marquis Caesar:
"To be honest, what I don't need the most right now...may be Gu Bolai's war horse!"
The deal with the Black Magic Crystal fell through in the end, and Marquis Waters Caesar left very unwillingly.
He thinks there must be something to discuss about this deal, but the two parties failed to find that balance point.
There are many reasons for this, the biggest reason may be that the reinforcements did not receive the transfer order from the West Route Army, so they rashly came to the Dak Valley, and even dispatched a regiment of Constructed Swordsmen to the Moyunling Highland with a very tough attitude. to scout.
This not only touched the vital interests of the Lord Suldak, but also probably completely angered the young Lord.
Even if they hold tens of thousands of black magic crystals in their hands, they are unwilling to sell them to the lords of Handanal County.
Although the deal with the lord of Suldak failed to be concluded, Marquis Caesar was not too anxious. In fact, he could choose to directly contact the business houses and adventure groups in the valley here. It is estimated that they still have a lot of money in their hands. of the Black Magic Crystal.
In addition, once the main army of this reinforcement enters the Moyunling highlands, they will be able to harvest a large amount of magic spar just around the corner.
…
Watching Marquis Caesar gracefully walk down the city wall, although his face still remained calm, the anger in his eyes almost burst out from his eye sockets.
Carrie Decker walked over from the east wall in heavy armor, stopped beside Samira, and asked Suldak with a puzzled expression:
"Boss, the purchase price he gave is not bad! Why don't you sell him?"
Suldak knew what Carrie Decker meant. She meant that anyone could sell these black magic crystals. Even if they brought them back to the province of Bena, they might not be able to raise the price of twenty gold coins. Frequently, the black magic crystals also began to flood.
As he became more and more familiar with Carrie Decker, Suldak found that this second-rank powerhouse who could wear heavy armor and hold a magic shotgun was a versatile player, so he left her in the construction department. As the leader of the Knights, she can arrange the daily work of the Knights in an orderly manner, and throwing her into the forest camp to be responsible for the management of the entire camp can also make the camp run normally.
The man with the soul of a berserker is simply a madman on the battlefield...
Suldak patted the money bag on his waist and said with a smile:
"Would you be surprised if I said that all the black magic crystals in my hand have been spent?"
Carrie Decker blinked and said, "That's no surprise..."
"The number of consumable magic weapons we have invested on the battlefield in the last few battles has increased rapidly. The weapons, equipment and supplies of the Aegrod tribe are also an astronomical figure. In addition, the various rewards on the merit exchange list are also gradually increasing. If it weren't for our complete victory in several battles, it is estimated that our situation will become very difficult."
In fact, there are many secrets hidden in Suldak's lord army, and everyone just tacitly does not take the initiative to mention them.
For example, the mysterious alchemist Aphrodite and her enhanced magic pattern, the mysterious red dragon and ghost army, and a large amount of supplies that can reach the battlefield without any supply lines.
Many things are attributed to mysterious magic...
Suldak did not expect Carrie Decker to see it so thoroughly, and said with some emotion:
"That's right... Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the cavalry regiment to venture across the entire highland and ran all the way to the North Mountain Pass to help the Aegrod tribe build the northern line of defense."
Carrie Decker was not prepared to inquire about these secrets of Suldak, so she changed the subject and explained her purpose:
"By the way, boss, there are quite a few soldiers in the barracks now who want to exchange for enhanced magic patterns. As long as there are enhanced magic patterns on the merit list, they will be exchanged soon. You have to take some time to exchange those rewards recently... "
Suldak didn't expect that the enhanced magic pattern marked with 50,000 merits would become a sought-after item.
"Oh? They don't plan to change the magic pattern structure?" Suldak asked.
"This group of people are almost all ant cavalry who have accumulated a lot of achievements. Their own qualifications are limited. Before they reach the first rank, even if they exchange for the magic pattern structure, they cannot wear it because of insufficient carrying capacity. If they want to break through the first rank, it is estimated that There is only one way to go, so everyone chooses to exchange for enhanced magic patterns." Carrie Decker replied: "There are also some adventure groups who have taken a fancy to these enhanced magic patterns..."
Suldak waved his hand and said clearly: "Seal the opening for such rewards, and the enhanced magic pattern will not be provided to people outside the legion for the time being."
"knew."
Carrie Decker immediately responded.
Having received clear instructions from Suldak, Carrie Decker turned around to deal with the matter at hand.
Only Samira and Suldak were left on the city wall, and the guards at the top of the city did not dare to approach this side at all, and only stood obediently in a row on the top of the city 20 meters away.
Suldak turned his head and saw Samira who had completed the basic Jiu-Jitsu movements in a daze, so he asked:
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Samila took out the Sky Strike Bow, pulled the bow string to full strength, no arrows were caught between the fingers, aimed at a cliff outside the city wall, and said:
"It feels like you have come back this time, and it seems to be a little different from before."
Surdak asked curiously: "What's different?"
Samira put away the Sky Strike Bow in her hand, turned around and looked at Suldak, with a trace of confusion in her pale red eyes:
"The breath on your body, I don't mean the holy light on your body... that feeling is indescribable, as if every breath you take, every step you walk is in harmony with the wind in the mountains, the water flow in the river , the woods on the entire mountain are incomparable, just like the 'natural way' pursued by those druids."
Suldak looked down at his feet wearing combat boots, and then carefully felt his breathing rate, thinking why he didn't have any obvious feeling...
…
The most prosperous commercial street in Dak Valley is lined with various shops. These shops sell food, weapons, armor, groceries, and even antidote potions, etc. The adventure group can purchase any types of supplies.
Of course, the business scope of the business is not limited to these, most of the businesses also have the acquisition business, such as unidentified black magic crystals, black-striped devil skins, black iron war blades in the hands of evil spirits, and even sharp Bone spurs are also purchased by merchants. Of course, bone spurs are not very valuable.
There are a large number of adventure groups in Dak Valley, which leads to very hot daily transactions, and the busiest commercial street is full of people every day.
Some adventure groups returning from Moyunling Highland will bring some harvests to the market here to sell, mainly some cumbersome spoils that are inconvenient to store and transport. For example, the trading volume of black iron war blades is relatively large, followed by black pattern Magic skin, such items are not stored in large quantities by adventure groups.
As for trophies such as magic cores and unidentified black magic crystals, the trading volume in the market is very small. The main reason is that magic crystals are easy to carry. convenient.
In addition, many adventure groups have the habit of storing unidentified black magic crystals. It is easy to exchange these black magic crystals for gold coins, but it is not so easy to buy black magic crystals with gold coins.
The rewards on the merit exchange list in the West Route Army camp can only be exchanged for unidentified black magic crystals...
Marquis Caesar had contacted several business owners in succession on the commercial street. These business owners did have some unidentified black magic crystals in their hands. The price of such black magic crystals was basically about 18 gold coins. And the number of magic crystals, the total number of black magic crystals owned by these companies can't even reach a fraction of the demand of Marquis Caesar.
The black magic crystals bought by the business owners are almost all the gold coins in the hands of certain adventure groups, and there are no other goods to sell, so they sell one or two black magic crystals as an emergency.
So actually... there are very few black magic crystals in the market here.
The business owners even suggested that Marquis Caesar talk directly with the adventure group in the valley...
Marquis Waters Caesar walked around the commercial street with his entourage for a whole day, almost visited all the commercial stores, contacted several adventure groups, and bought thirty-seven unidentified black magic crystals.
When Marquis Caesar returned to the barracks, his face was very ugly, and he even ate dinner in the wooden house.
At night, bonfires were lit up in the camp of the reinforcements, which looked like stars from a distance.
A gust of wind blew, puffs of smoke made the soldiers in the camp unable to open their eyes. Almost all combat teams prepared dinner alone, making the camp a mess.
This is not the case at the West Route Army camp not far away. The infantry soldiers who have trained all day will line up to take a bath at the washing wall, and then line up to eat at the dining hall. Everything looks so orderly...
