Chapter 289: The Big Deal

【Recruitment】Set sail for a new round of recruitment!!!!

Rhodes was not mistaken, the fat merchant in front of him was the businessman Mace who escaped from the wreck of the float ship with him after he came to this world. Frankly speaking, although this businessman is a little troublesome, he is still a good person. It's just that the two sides have never met again since they broke up in Deep Rock City, and they didn't expect to be so coincidental and reunite here.

Since the two sides know each other, then the next thing is easy to say. Mace is not an unreasonable person, not to mention that although he has never met with Rhodes and others since then, he has been running back and forth in the Pafield area, and he has naturally heard about Rhodes's Starlight Mercenary Group from time to time, plus this matter was originally done wrong by those fools on his side, so Mace also had no scruples at all, and apologized to Marlene very happily on behalf of his subordinates, and Marlene did not continue to investigate, She had also heard from Lijie about herself, Mace and Rhodes escaping from the Dusk Forest, and she knew a little about this businessman, and now that the other party was so sincerely apologizing to herself, then she naturally didn't pursue it more.

A conflict is thus avoided.

In the end, the two sides decided to share the camp together, and Mace naturally raised his hands in favor of it. I have to say that although it is not the first time to meet this fat merchant, but it is the first time that Rod and Lijie have officially watched his communication skills at this time, although because of the previous conflict, the people on Rhodes' side are a little ignorant of the caravan, but Mace obviously doesn't care about this at all, he scurries around with a warm smile among the people of the Starlight Mercenary Group at a speed that no thief can match, and from time to time chatting with others about the recent good weather, what he has seen and heard along the way, After saying the most, he will take out some rare gadgets from his pocket to give to each other. After such a circle, the people who originally had some prejudices about the caravan have changed their attitudes at this moment, and they are finally not as resistant to them as before. Not to mention Anne, who was already lively, even Labis and Christie, who were the most afraid of life, had been given interesting gadgets from Mace at the moment, and were curiously looking at these exquisite and unique strange works of art.

It was only at this time that Mace wiped the sweat from his head, and then sat down beside the fire in one breath, and while sneezing, he took a flask from his bosom and poured several sips of wine into his mouth, which was much better.

"I really didn't expect you to be quite capable."

Rod, who had been sitting next to him and watching coldly, only spoke at this time. Hearing him speak, Mace smiled and stuffed the flask back into his pocket.

"There's no way, Mr. Rod, we do this business, of course, it's a matter of harmony and wealth, hello, hello, everyone, so that we can do business, right? Ay......... I can assure you that nothing like this will happen again. Those blind idiots will fire them immediately when I return to the Chamber of Commerce! What the hell, mages dare to provoke, next time they even dare to touch the devil? I don't think I'm tired of these bastards..............."

"Looks like you're doing well?"

"It's a difficult world."

Mace smiled bitterly at Rode's mocking tone, shook his head, and then sighed.

"It's a very difficult time now, I'm not afraid of your jokes, because of the accident before, I lost almost half of my property, and now the Silver Celestial Chamber of Commerce is getting worse and worse. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm suffering heavy losses now, barely bleak and keeping my business, and I can't go on like this. ”…,

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Rod raised his eyebrows.

"No, I remember that many goods have increased in price due to the closure of the Fengchao trade road before, didn't you make a profit from this, Mr. Mace?"

"I want to catch it too."

Mace, who said this, looked helpless and depressed, he grabbed his hair, and the commercial smile that had been maintained on his face was finally completely disappeared at this moment. It can be seen that this is indeed a big trouble for Mace.

"Originally, as you said, Mr. Rhodes, the closure of the Fengchao trade route was a good opportunity for me. Even if I lost half of my goods in the accident, I still have at least half of my inventory. As long as the manipulation is obtained, then at least it is no problem to offset the losses. But that damn goddamn merchant association actually forced a price increase at this time! Do I dare to go up? The Holy Soul is above, I am old and young, but I don't want to be dragged out of the city with those white idiots and be hanged for this damn thing........."

Speaking of this, Mace looked helpless, as the saying goes, strange goods can live, because it is a matter of course that the source of goods is reduced and the price increase is a matter of course, but this good thing is messed up by the group of white idiots in the merchant association who don't even remember his mother except for wine and women. As a traveling merchant, Mace is naturally very sensitive to this kind of thing, and he has already smelled a hint of something unusual from the forced price increase of the merchant association. It is precisely because of this that he was not able to participate in this price increase.

Sure enough, although the price increase was smaller, Mace was not able to recoup his previous losses. But looking at the corpses that were hanged on the gallows and fluttering in the wind, he still felt that he had made a lot of money——— no matter how much money he had to spend, it would be useless.

"So, you're ......... this time"

"Because Her Royal Highness Lydia is planning to hold a midsummer festival in the Golden City, I plan to try my luck and see if I can send a sum, and to tell you the truth, I have already reached a cooperation agreement with the Golden City. You see, my car is the wine and spices that are used to transport to the Golden City. The price of these things has quadrupled......... If all goes well this time, then I can make up for my losses. ”

Although Mace's tone was optimistic, Rhodes found that the fat businessman didn't actually have the confidence he said, after all, he also knew very well that the timeliness of business profits was very strong. If Mace had been able to sell his inventory in the shortest possible time, he would have been able to make up for the loss, as he said. However, the merchant's association had forced Mace to postpone his plan, and in this way, he had to lose more——— so Rod could understand the situation that although Mace was very happy now, he had no happy expression on his face. Even if his business profits this time can make up for the losses of the previous air crash, the series of losses after this is still a big hole. The fat businessman is now thankful that he didn't cry and hang himself in the face.

"Forget it, don't talk about these frustrating things."

Perhaps aware of the frustration of saying this now, Mace shook his head, sighed, and looked at Rhodes again, revealing a smile that "men understand".

"Tell me about you, Mr. Rod, I just haven't seen you for so many days, I really didn't expect you to have so many beautiful girls around you, oops......... It's really enviable, although I also heard rumors about the Starlight Mercenary Group when I was running around in Parfield, but now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I realize that the rumors are not exaggerated at all, haluha, they still say............ Forget it, nothing. ”…,

Although Mace didn't finish the next sentence, looking at his expression, Rod knew that he was going to say something like "The head of the beauty group is leading a group of beautiful women, this is really eye-catching......... which is not surprising, after all, he has heard similar speeches many times in private.

"But............ That little sister Christie is really cute, and Sister Seven Love and Sister Anne are also rare beauties, Mr. Rod, from the standpoint of a man, I really envy you. ”

As a businessman, Mace does have the function of "having nothing to say", and when he was about to be cold, he also hurriedly provoked another topic, while speaking, Mace looked at the little girl sitting on the other side, fiddling with the crystal ball in her hand. It was a small gift from Mace to Christie, and inside the crystal ball was a house, and a girl's apparition. As long as the crystal ball is flipped, the world realm inside will change the seasons, the transformation of the four seasons of the year. It's a product of magic, but it's just a little fun. But Christie was clearly happy about it, and she was so excited to observe the world in the crystal ball, and even a little like it.

"It's all fate, you can admit it."

Rod gave a sarcastic expression, while Mace touched his head with a wry smile.

"It's so hard to get so many beautiful women at my age......... Mr. Rod, you have to do your best. By the way, and Lijie's child, I can see that she hasn't changed her to you. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Mace's words, Rod frowned, he glanced at Lijie, who was sitting on the other side of the fire at the moment, whispering something to Marlene, pondered for a moment, and finally said nothing. Instead, Rhodes turned his head and looked at the fat merchant in front of him.

"Mr. Mace, do you have any plans after you finish your business in the Golden City this time?"

"Intended?"

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Mace was stunned.

"This............ Not for the time being.,Anyway, let's look at the income this time.,If you can't even come back this time.,Then I can't do anything even if I want to.。 If I am lucky enough to be able to recoup my capital, then I will have to start all over again......... Well, I haven't felt this way in a long time, I think I was back when I was a merchant apprentice......... Hey........."

Hearing Mace's answer, Rod's heart moved, and then, he looked at Mace and spoke.

"In that case, then Mr. Mace......... Are you interested in making a big deal with us Starlight? ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Mace was stunned...... )
