Chapter 350: Elemental Stone Workshop
On the second day of his stay at the Darkblood Tavern, Alan took Budbarton to the Diff family's convocation.
Although the Diff family issued a summoning order this time, it does not mean that anyone can participate, in terms of strength, only the strong people above the middle level knight can participate, which can also reflect that the treasure house is indeed in crisis, and it is estimated that only the strong people above the middle level knight can act there.
It didn't take long for Alan to arrive at the convening office, where several officials were seated at the table, guarded by a team of heavily armed warriors behind them, and in front of them were several knights who were erecting their elemental barriers, which should be a show of strength and confirmation of their qualifications to participate in the exploration of the treasure house.
When the knights had left, Alan stepped forward.
"It's... Viscount Musen: I'm sure you're here to explore the treasure trove too!"
One of the old men looked at Alan with a respectful look on his face when he saw Alan coming with Battenbard, and the rest of the people also looked at Alan with a look of surprise.
"That's right!" Alan said softly, glancing at the old man.
Since Allen killed Viscount Huangye in front of the two counts and repelled Count Andre, he and Mu Sen Ling have become famous in the Principality of Kane, and even if people with a bit of status don't know him Allen, they must know the Golden Sun Red Flame Emblem embroidered on his clothes, and it is not surprising that the old man in front of him can know his identity.
"Do you need me to show my strength?" Alan looked at the old man lightly.
"No, no! Viscount Mu Sen, naturally there will be no doubts about your strength! This is a jade plaque for you, please go to the palace in five days. ”
When the old man heard this, he hurriedly smiled and picked up a thumb-sized jade plate from the table and handed it to Allen.
"Wait!"
Alan's voice suddenly remembered.
"I don't know... What else is there to do with Viscount Musen. ”
Hearing Allen's words, the old man's heart tightened, his outstretched hand stiffened, and a smile appeared on his face, in the old man's heart, Viscount Mu Sen is a bad star, from the fact that he directly killed Viscount Huangye, and hard bar Count Andre, it can be seen that he is not a person to mess with, the old man naturally does not want to have too many intersections, let alone cause dissatisfaction.
"My two squires are going to join in, too!"
"Bard! Barton!"
Alan smiled at the old man and shouted to Bard Barton behind him, this time Alan planned to take the two of them with him.
"Yes!"
An elemental barrier immediately appeared on the two of Battenbad, showing the strength of a mid-level knight.
"Okay! I didn't expect these two gentlemen to be so strong! Viscount Mu Sen, this is a jade plate. The smile on the old man's face bloomed, his heart was relieved, and he hurriedly took two jade plates and handed them over.
Stretching out his hand to take the three jade plates, Alan chuckled in his heart, the Diff family seems to really attach great importance to this matter, even a small jade plate is made of elemental spars, and then Alan doesn't care what these people in front of him think, and leaves here with Bard and the two.
Looking at the back of Allen leaving, the old man and the few people beside him exhaled a long breath, this Viscount Mu Sen is really extraordinary, I didn't expect that even the strength of the two attendants has a middle-level knight.
A few minutes later, Alan took Battenbad to walk through the wide streets of Kane City, of course, not wandering aimlessly, Alan had a clear goal, the largest gambling stone workshop in the Principality of Kane, the Elemental Stone Workshop, happened to be idle, and he was very interested in this gambling stone.
The Elemental Stone Workshop, like the Elemental Chamber of Commerce, is a huge force, with influence all over the Scarlet Continent, basically every country in the continent has a gambling stone workshop run by the Elemental Stone Workshop, and they almost monopolize half of the gem rough trade in the Scarlet Continent.
The smartest thing about the Elemental Stone Workshop is that they do not conduct simple commodity trading like the Elemental Chamber of Commerce, but choose to open a gambling stone workshop with a gambling nature, relying on the luck of many people, and have gained a lot of benefits from the sale of rough stones.
In fact, gambling on stones is very risky, some people often go bankrupt and can't cut out a piece of elemental gem, although the elemental gem is very valuable, just take the pigeon-egg-sized purple gem that Alan auctioned last time, the price of one piece reached five hundred elemental crystals, which is equivalent to fifty thousand golden dragons.
It is hard to imagine what kind of price an elemental crystal the size of a fist will be sold for at such a price just the size of a pigeon's egg, and due to the characteristics of elemental gems, the larger it is, the higher the price.
This is also the reason why many people are addicted to gambling stones, once you cut out a larger elemental gem, then the whole life is different!
The area of the gambling stone workshop is very large, there are two floors, and the height of each floor is at least five meters from the outside, which is very unusual, and the gate of the gambling stone workshop is also very tall, close to five meters, Alan guesses that this design should be to facilitate the transportation and placement of giant rough stones.
Curiously glancing at the two strange-shaped stones placed on either side of the door, Alan walked in with Battenbad and the others.
Inside the hall are sunken stone platforms with strange-shaped rough gemstones.
Gemstones are roughly divided into three types, jade, spar, and gemstone.
Although the categories are different, their rough stones all have something in common, that is, the appearance is wrapped in a special substance, jade is a stone skin, and the jade is hidden in the stone skin, which looks like a stone.
Spar and gemstones, on the other hand, are a kind of cloudy crystal skin, and the color of the crystal skin is very similar to the gemstone inside.
It is also due to its own characteristics, the rough stones of jade are basically very large, but the price is relatively cheap, but the possibility of cutting out elemental gems is low, and the rough stones of spars and gemstones are originally a kind of gemstones, so they are expensive, but the probability of cutting elemental gems is higher than that of jade.
Although there are three kinds of rough stones in the elemental stone workshop, the largest number is still jade rough stones, because the price of jade rough stones is relatively cheap, and once the element gems are cut out, the volume of the gems is very large, much larger than the element gems cut out of the general spar gemstone rough stones, so many people tend to buy jade rough stones.
At this time, many of the rough stones in the hall were crowded around, some of them were talking to each other, and some were approaching the rough stones to study something.
Alan was a little curious, and leaned in front of a rough stone, because he was not allowed to touch it with his hands, Alan could only get close to observe.
This rough stone belongs to the jade category, shaped like a giant egg, about a meter high, and the skin is grayish-yellow, with irregular lines and erosion marks on it, dotted with some small black spots.
At this time, in addition to Allen, there were several extraordinarily dressed nobles observing this rough stone.
Even if he was blind, he couldn't see anything famous, and then Alan turned his gaze to the sign below, which said the price, this rough stone asked for twenty elemental crystals, that is, two thousand golden dragons.
