Starx stood on a wooden box, barely matching Lu Kuan's height.

"My lord, I have a small request,"

Starx leaned forward slightly and whispered, "Can you watch these goods alone?" It's really a big deal, and I hope you understand a lot. ”

"Of course."

Lu Kuan agreed without thinking about it, waved his hand, and asked the dwarven guards to retreat a few meters away, Starx showed a relaxed smile and made a gesture of invitation to Lu Kuan.

Stepping to one of the carriages, the weed merchant guard's guard neatly untied the ropes that bound the goods, pulling the tarpaulin open a slight slit.

Lu Kuan couldn't help frowning slightly, and he was even more curious in his heart, what kind of goods made the other party so nervous?

With the help of the sun, Lu Kuan saw clearly the inside of the truck - neatly arranged clay pots, with more than a dozen layers on top of each other, the jars were all placed upside down, and thick straw mats were padded in the gaps to prevent them from breaking.

Lu Kuan picked one up casually, a little surprised, because the jar was extremely heavy, as if it was filled with iron.

When I unscrewed the lid of the clay pot, there was a faint red light coming out of it, and an indescribable smell wafted out, a bit like a scorched stone, with a little sulfur stench.

The small red stones, which were densely packed and about the same size as a ping pong ball, were lined up in clay pots one by one, and just after a few glances, Lu Kuan felt that his eyes were sour, and tears couldn't help but flow out.

This kind of thing is so corrosive!

Lu Kuan was slightly stunned, then screwed the lid back on, put the clay pot back into the distance, and then turned around.

Starx had been standing behind Lu Kuan, as if he had expected this situation, and rushed to the side to signal, and someone immediately handed over a clean towel.

"My lord, this is a rare metal ore......"

Starx was just about to speak, but Lu Kuan smiled and waved his hand, wiping his tears while saying, "Yan Tie, from the Thunder Mountain Mine?" ”

The old goblin was slightly stunned, and there was a look of shock in his eyes, but it was quickly hidden again.

Flame Iron is a metal smelted from ores that is extremely resistant to corrosion and fire, making it the perfect choice for dealing with dragons, demons, and creatures in the purgatory.

Moreover, the texture value of the armor made of flame iron is much higher than that of ordinary metal, and in terms of quality, it is also a high-grade equipment.

However, there are many people in the world who know Yan Tie, but few have seen it, and it is precisely because of this that Starx is relieved to let Lu Kuan take a look, and then as long as he uses the excuse that this is a rare metal, he can pass the customs smoothly by slightly increasing the taxes and fees that need to be paid.

"Why is this guy instantly recognizable?" Starx was shocked, but he didn't dare to speak rashly.

Of course, Lu Kuan knew that the Sacrificial Thunder Mountain Mine of the Silver Dragon Republic was famous, and it was one of the mines that produced the most Yan Iron in the entire game.

As if he didn't notice Starx's abnormality, Lu Kuan beckoned to Starx, letting the old goblin lean over, and he squatted down, and the heads of the two people came together.

"Yan Tie, it's a very rare material, the weed merchant group brought so much this time, it must have been the discovery of Yan Tie's veins~"

“……”

"Oh, don't worry, what do we have to do with it, this matter won't spread to the outside."

"Thank you, thank you......"

"However, in Runeney, the tax rate on ore is slightly higher than that of ordinary cargo......"

"Of course, we must follow the rules ......"

"No, no, Mr. Starks, you misunderstood what I meant, just 2,000 gold coins per car, but there is another idea, where do you sell this hot iron? …… Next time, can you bring me some...... No more, no more, just ten cars...... I give you 20% of the profit and it's tax-free......"

"This ...... I need to talk to the chief......"

"This is a must, but please be sure to convey my sincerity to the regimental commander."

……

The two of them chatted for a long time, and finally stood up and shook hands with each other with a smile, looking like they were talking happily.

Soon, twenty carts were released, but there were too many carriages and too heavy to complete the teleportation at one time, so they could only slowly enter the teleportation array one by one, teleporting one every few minutes.

Starx stayed near the teleportation array, watching the convoy's teleportation throughout the whole process, while Lu Kuan found a quiet place, carefully looked at the list in his hand, and saw what Meedu had bought this time.

The group of people standing behind Medhu next to him were all old ministers who were absolutely loyal to Rune City, who had lived in Rune City many years ago, and were all civil officials who were very good at handling the city's internal affairs.

"Hmph, what's wrong with the three major merchant groups, don't you want to bow your head when you see our lord?"

"Who's to say it isn't? I used to see a person from another merchant group in Rapids, but he was just a small head, and he was very angry, and the head of the regiment heard that he was the earl of the Silver Dragon Republic, and he was angry in front of the deputy city lord of Rapids. ”

"Lord Lao Lu has confidence~ Really give us a long face in Rune City~"

……

Everyone was getting more and more excited about the discussion, and Medu in front of him coughed lightly, and everyone quieted down.

"What do you know?"

Medu looked up at Lu Kuan, who was reading the list carefully, and turned around and whispered to everyone: "That's because Starx has something to ask us, so we should lower our posture at that time." ”

"Huh? What's the matter? ”

"It's not a business that anyone asks for whom, does it?"

"It's not these seventy or so cars, it's the twenty or so cars,"

Medu chin in the direction of the teleportation array, pouted, and said, "Those things are the most important thing, although I don't know what is in there, but I can see from the look of that guy Starx that the things in the car are worth more than the remaining seventy cars." ”

Now everyone is more curious, but only Lu Kuan has seen the things in the car, how dare everyone ask.

Thinking of this, the eyes of all the civil officials focused on Medu.

"What do you want me to do?"

Medhu widened his eyes and said angrily: "Go aside, you guys, you always want to take me to the thunder." ”

Everyone has a good relationship with Meadhu and the others, and they all laugh when they hear it.

At first, when Medu led the internal affairs and financial work of Rune City, many members of Rune City did not approve and were not convinced, but as time went by, the old goblin's ability to do things was quickly recognized by everyone, and with Medu's extremely high emotional intelligence, he was now quite prestigious.

"Medou."

Lu Kuan shouted, and Medhu immediately turned around when he heard this, bent down and came to Lu Kuan.

"There are a lot of good close-fitting cotton clothes and cotton clothes, all left, and sent them to the soldiers when it is cold, and the insufficient quantity should be purchased, and the rest should be arranged for the caravan to be transported out as soon as possible, if you need to be transported across borders, discuss and coordinate with Baker, the transmission of the weeds merchant group may take up a lot of time."
