Chapter 339: Long-term consideration
There are more than 10 million items in "Echoes of the Gods", to say that Lu Kuan remembers them all clearly, it is definitely a lie.
But some special items with irreplaceable effects, even if it is another ten years, Lu Kuan will not be able to forget.
For example, now, Lu Kuan decisively spent 1,300 gold coins to buy an ordinary-looking black pearl in the lower right corner of the sales window.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on the side was shocked when he saw this, he didn't expect Lu Kuan to start so quickly, and most of the money was gone in a blink of an eye.
Before Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon could slow down, there was a familiar "bang" of gold coins in his ears again, and the elven warrior monk hurriedly looked down, only to see that there was another thing missing in the center of the sales window, and he didn't even have time to see what it was.
"I'm so lucky,"
Lu Kuan canceled the sales window and said politely to Starx: "These two things are exactly what I want." β
The old goblin didn't expect Lu Kuan to move so fast, glanced at the things on his table, and quickly figured out which two Lu Kuan bought.
"These two?"
Starx was slightly surprised, and then smiled: "It's indeed a good thing, but as far as I know, even if it is the Northern Empire, they can't make much money, right?" β
Lu Kuan lowered his head to confirm the two items in the inventory, looked up at the old goblin, and showed a slightly meaningful smile.
"Whether you make money or not, you'll find out in a few days." Lu Kuandao.
After buying these two things, Lu Kuan actually breathed a sigh of relief: this time it was a sure win, and the most important thing was that he could leave a deep impression on Starx and pave the way for future trade.
"Okay, now I'll sell things." Lu Kuan smiled and spoke, and at the same time put his hand back into his backpack, making a gesture to take something out.
At this time, the old goblin also became interested.
The decisiveness and self-confidence of the young ranger in front of him made the old goblin feel strange, as if he had just sold those two things and lost on his side.
But soon, Starx shook his head, shook off this thought, and carefully looked at Lu Kuan's outstretched right hand.
What Lu Kuan was holding in his hand was a scroll.
Very ordinary scrolls, half a foot long, finger thick, sheepskin, wooden scrolls, the workmanship is average, Starx even saw broken threads and raw edges at the sheepskin joints.
The old goblin immediately understood that what the other party wanted to trade was not the scroll, but what was written in the scroll.
Lu Kuan stood up, placed the scroll on Starx's table, and sat back in his place.
"Mr. Deer, don't you set the price first?" Didax pointed to the things on the table and looked at Lu Kuan curiously.
"No, it's my deposit,"
Lu Kuan shook his head lightly and said with a confident smile: "The real deal depends on whether you believe me or not." β
Seeing that Lu Kuan was so mysterious, the old goblin smiled, and he didn't twist it, he directly picked up the scroll and slowly unfolded it.
As the handwriting on the scroll appeared in front of him one by one, the old goblin's long brow trembled slightly, and soon returned to normal.
Then, until he finished reading the contents of the scroll and put the scroll back on the table, the old goblin's expression did not change much, but he looked at Lu Kuan with blazing eyes.
"Young man, may I ask your sources?" Starx was silent for a few seconds before asking.
Lu Kuan smiled when he heard this: "Sir, if you exchange the true purpose of the Wild Grass Merchant Group to come to the Northern Empire, I can reveal a little bit to you." β
Starx was stunned for a moment, then laughed and leaned back.
"Hahaha~ Okay, it's me who is abrupt."
Starx looked delighted, stopped laughing, and without warning, raised his hand and threw the sheepskin scroll into the campfire three meters away.
Then, the old goblin stood up: "I'm very interested in this matter, I hope that next time, Mr. Lao Lu, you can bring the details of the matter, as well as the story of making money with those two gadgets, and come to our merchant group again." β
"That's my pleasure."
Lu Kuan immediately stood up, stepped forward, bent down and shook hands with Starx, the two sides looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
At this time, a ranger NPC wearing a guard costume came to Starx's side, bowed down and said, "Deputy Commander, the time is almost up." β
"Okay,"
Starx nodded slightly, and smiled at Lu Kuan and the others, "That's it, I'm looking forward to meeting you next time." β
Several of them also bid farewell to Starx and quickly left the camp.
β¦β¦
Accompanied by the guards, Starx returned to his carriage.
Unlike the pitch black outside, the interior of the car is brightly lit and more spacious than it looks from the outside.
At this time, there was a human man sitting in the carriage, a human male, who looked to be in his thirties, and his rare long light gray hair naturally hung down, covering his beautiful and warm face.
"Captain, I'm back." Starx lifted the curtain and half-knelt into the carriage, saying to the human man, with a hint of respect in his tone.
If Lu Kuan was here, he would definitely be surprised, because the gray-haired man in front of him was the No. 1 mission of the Weeds Merchant Group, the Grand Master "Black Diamond" - no one knew his real name, only a code name.
As the leader of one of the three major merchant groups of the Silver Dragon Empire, Black Diamond did not sit in Isa City, but followed the detachment of the merchant group and appeared in the Night Crater, which was obviously very abnormal.
"These are the people who saved your grandson?" The gray-haired man took a sip of hot tea in a small porcelain cup.
"Yes, they're all inexperienced adventurers,"
Starx sat down cross-legged, picked up a clove of orange from the small table next to him and stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "But the new old deer is a little interesting." β
Hearing this, the head of the regiment, Hei Diamond, showed a curious look: "Could it be that there is really something terrible written on the scroll?" β
"It's not a big deal, but it's very interesting, what is written on it is basically the same as the information we got before." Starx said briefly.
"Oh?" At this time, the gray-haired man was really a little curious.
This time, he personally made a trip to stay in Hong Kong for the news that in ancient times, in the wilderness south of the Northern Empire, there was once a thriving dwarven empire, and under that empire, there was a unique vein of Mithril ore.
A medium-sized Mithril mine would be enough to arm an elite force of over 10,000 menβan invincible force.
"Where did he get this news......" Black Diamond twisted his teacup in his hand, lost in thought.
"Actually, it doesn't matter anymore,"
Starx shrugged and said, "Even if we get accurate information, it's none of our business, the Northern Empire can't sell us such a vein, no matter how much money it has." β
"Not necessarily, if it becomes the territory of the Silver Dragon Empire, won't our chance come?" Black Diamond smiled as he stared down at the smoke-curling teacup.
