Chapter 135: Transactions in the Night
Seeing the mercenaries more than a dozen paces away counting the gold coins at fifteen and ten, many people's faces showed impatient expressions. But when they saw that the leaders did not speak, everyone held back. It wasn't until half an hourglass had passed that the mercenaries finally figured it out.
"Is the number correct?" asked one of the leader's men coldly.
"That's right! That's right!" Ritter smiled. Although those who came to meet were dressed in masked robes, Ritter had discovered that they were actually orcs. But Ritter didn't want to know what they were coming for. Just to lead the way, he received a reward of two thousand gold coins. That is, they should give a little to the brothers who remained in the castle, and the twenty men he brought with him could also receive more than one thousand and a half. What a small windfall!
Seeing the mercenaries carrying the money bag containing gold coins on the horse, the subordinate threw over another money bag: "I wanted to reward you for drinking, I wanted to reward you with two hundred, but you were too abrasive." Do we still care about your little money?"
And Ritter hurriedly bent down, pinched the money bag, and found that it was about 100 gold coins. So he didn't care about the man's ridicule, he knelt down and saluted, and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you for the reward." The small eyelids are too shallow, I hope you will bear with me. If it's okay, the little one will go back first. ”
Seeing that everyone present was silent, Gan Lin on the side also laughed and said, "Everyone! Then let's go first. ”
......
Watching those mercenaries and a dozen magic apprentices and followers around Gan Lin disappear into the night, a young man in his early twenties spoke: "Your Highness, where are we going to trade?"
The leader in the masked robe immediately lowered his hood, revealing the head of a lion. The lion man shook his head and said in a rough voice, "That's it! I can't wait to see it!"
The young man smiled and nodded, "That's good!" and he made a trading gesture to Bloodtooth Willle.
There were not many things, and when Weierle handed the orcs two brocade boxes, the lion man verified the authenticity with a secret method, and then smiled with satisfaction: "This is it! Then he made a gesture to his attendants, and asked them to carry a small wooden box to the young man named Lychkin.
A man came up behind Lu Xijin, who opened the box and began to count the contents of the box. After the counting, he whispered to Lu Xijin: "The number is correct, it's a hundred Styx colored stones. But only 11 of them can be used. ”
Lu Xijin frowned slightly, and then smiled at the lionman: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, happy cooperation." But Your Highness, do you have any more Styx colored stones? ”
That lion man is Dezhen, the sixth prince of the Orc Kingdom. Because of his desire to taste, he was also very eloquent: "When the slaves were allowed to mine, they mined more than a hundred pieces. It's useless to put me here. Let's give you a friendly price, one piece for thirty magic crystals. How?"
"That's it. I'll buy another hundred. Lu Xijin also smiled with satisfaction, "Later, I will send someone to go back with His Highness." ”
The Heart of Nature and the Holy Spear fragments that Prince Dezhen obtained this time were originally artifacts. But they were all damaged in the Great War of the Clans. So in terms of monumentality, these two items can be said to be invaluable, but from the perspective of magical items, they are of little use. That's why? Nature's Heart becomes a Trinket for the Snow Girl, and the Bloodtooth Mercenaries can snatch the Holy Spear Fragments. After all, these two items are no longer valuable.
Whereas, the Styx Stone is a magical material. Because it is only produced in a volcanic river in the Orc Kingdom, which is a torrent full of poisonous gas, the mortality rate of mining is high. The people who mine are also dead, just like going to the River Styx, so they are called the River Styx colored stones.
However, a dignitary like Prince Dezhen has thousands of slaves under his command. With some human lives, to mine this Styx colored stone, he is not distressed at all. The role of the Styx color stone is very limited, and it is rarely used, so the annual purchase volume is also quite small. Now that there is a big customer like Lu Xijin, of course, he can't ask for it.
So, both sides are quite happy with the deal.
After the transaction was completed, Dezhen asked again: "Your Excellency Lu Xijin, do you have any magicians to introduce? I want to hire a few people." The price is easy to say, but it should be fast, preferably before the arrival of that Verona princess. ”
"That's it!" Lu Xijin was embarrassed. Among the people he brought with him today, there were indeed a few magicians. But because the Styx colored stone was on a business trip, it could not be lent to Dezhen.
In fact, few people know that there are a small number of Styx colored stones that are mutated and have special functions, and what Lu Xikin wants is those mutated Styx colored stones. But at that time, in order to prevent Dezhen from raising the price, and because there was no one to identify mutated colored stones in Dezhen, Lu Xijin was ready to accept all the orders and choose them himself after he came back.
I didn't expect to buy a hundred, but only eleven of them were mutated. Although the number is barely enough, if Lu Xijin wants to do a big thing for this, he always has to prepare a little more. Money doesn't matter, but mutated colored stones must be guaranteed.
And those people need to bring back the newly bought Styx Stone, so they can't borrow each other. However, Dezhen is also quite important in Lu Xijin's plan, and he does not want to disappoint Dezhen.
Fortunately, someone relieved Lu Xijin of the siege at this time. Because his brother was constantly making eyes, Bloodtooth Weirle could only recommend himself: "Your Highness, I have two magicians here. The contemptible person is a high-level magician, and this second brother is a sixth-level great magician, I don't know if I can make His Highness droop?"
This was Bloody Fang's last mission. Originally, he didn't want to make a fuss, but he knew that his brothers thought they were going to the orc kingdom, so they all purchased a lot of goods by themselves, hoping to make some huge profits. It's like Wilson. But Wilson's stuff is cheaper.
Unexpectedly, the transaction was completed halfway now, and there was no need to go to the orc kingdom at all, so those brothers were a little anxious, and when they learned that they had the opportunity to go to the orc kingdom now, they wanted Bloodtooth Weierle to accept the invitation. And the brothers, Weierle didn't want to disappoint the brothers. Of course, if the task was too dangerous, Wehrle would have refused as well.
