Chapter Twenty-Six: New Trading Missions
Almost at the same time, Charlie's left thumb gave a burning sensation.
She tilted her head slightly, avoiding the gaze of the red-robed mentor beside her, to check on the new task.
[Mission: Become a qualified lord series Task 5: Mutual benefit and win-win with a new caravan, get a hundred gold coins in the transaction.] 】
[Reward: A Genius Dwarven Master]
Charlie's eyes lit up.
Sleepy send pillows, ah, this is!
She was worried that she would not be able to build the city's sewer system, so she sent him a dwarf.
Is there a better engineer in this world than the dwarves?
No, definitely not.
It is well established that the dwarves are a race favored by the gods of forging.
As he was thinking about how to get the dwarven craftsmen to help him build the sewer drainage system of Bela City, the gatekeeper who opened the gates had already led a new group of merchants in.
The owner of this trade group is called Hydson, who has been coveting Pryushkin's pearl business for a long time, and has followed Pryushkin before, but he has been misled by cunning opponents and has failed.
This time, he spared no expense to hire a prophecy arcane to make a prophecy for him.
Finally, he was able to see the moon and let him find the legendary 'Pearl Town'.
But before the great merchant Heiderson could experience this ecstasy more fully, he was poured cold water on the sight of the sight inside the 4-meter-high city walls.
'Oh my God! What's going on?! ’
Hydson shuddered as he saw a scarlet-faced mercenary dragging his familiar 'old friend' Pryushkin past their caravan.
Not to mention that Hydenson was so frightened that even the mercenaries who supported him had a numb scalp.
Because they saw the mercenary squads that were always in conflict with them, hired by Pryushkin, placed on the ground and neatly stacked in a row.
They had been stripped of their armor, and all their exposed bellies were slightly bulging, and they could see that the wave of water-based arcane from the red-robed arcanist had invited them to 'drink their fill'.
Looking at the wet pat, as if he had just been salvaged from the water, his belly was slightly bulging, and the mercenary hired by Hydson did not dare to make a mistake at all.
Standing in front of them was a red-robed and arrogant Hanging-Eyed Arcanist.
Floating above his head were seven crystal clear stones that glowed red.
It was the rumored Ayn Stone.
'Seven, seven?! Is this Arcanist the rumored Grand Arcanist?! Can you even wear 7 Aein Stones?? The leader of the mercenary team hired by Hydson set off a storm in his heart.
After all, the mysterious Arcanists are too frighteningly rumored.
The arcanist in the story who has 5 Ain Stones on his head can turn the world upside down, and now he sees a living Arcanist with 7 Ain Stones on his head, what is that concept?
No one dared to think about it any further, and they all shuddered.
Charlie looked at the big businessman Edson, and instead of greeting the successful big businessman, she went straight to the point.
"You're here for the pearls of the village of Bella."
Haydenson's forehead was sweating, as he saw a fiery red Aine Stone floating above the head of the young lord, dressed in a splendid aristocratic costume.
Aristocratic Arcanist, I've seen a ghost!
Hydson barely calmed down with the strong psychological qualities he had cultivated by traveling from business to south and north.
"Yes, Your Excellency Lord."
He bent down, took off the ornate ornament on his head and pressed it to his chest, and performed a very standard etiquette to meet the nobles.
Charlie rubbed his pointed chin with one hand and walked around Edson with interest.
"Do you know the greedy guy who was just dragged away by my Knight Master?"
"Know, honorable lord, he is Pryushkin, a greedy and miserly bad fellow who will do anything to the extreme."
"Oh? Then tell me how this 'colleague' you attacked made you so unacceptable. Charlie spoke in a soft, joking tone.
Heidensen gradually calmed down, he found that this was a danger, but also a huge opportunity, if he grasped it, in the future, those beautiful pearl necklaces, it would be his!
So, he told the story of Pryushkin's purchase of livestock feed at a low price in the imperial capital and the sale of Bella's pearls in the aristocratic circle at a high price.
He didn't dare to lie half a word, and the hell knew if those mad arcanists had any way to tell the truth.
Fortunately, his peers were 'powerful', and they did a good job, and they didn't need him to add fuel and vinegar at all, and they did enough to make the young lord angry and peel off the skin of Pryushkin.
"120 copper coins to buy 'grain' to feed the livestock?" Charlie was about to explode in anger, and she looked back at the affectionate and still wooden old Tom, "Are you cattle?" Well? Do you still have to speak for him? ”
Now is not a matter of anger, the food problem in Beira village still needs to be solved.
Charlie doesn't talk nonsense with Hydson either.
"Now, since you know how bad this colleague of yours is, I hope you have a better conscience than he is, or two damned, greedy merchants will hang on my gates today, you know?"
As he spoke, Pryushkin had been stripped naked and hung on the 4-meter-high wall of the village of Beila, and his mournful cry seemed to be blown into Edson's ears by the sea breeze, which frightened him.
Heidson's caravan was much more intentional than Pryushkin's.
Obviously, there is no contrast without competition, and there is no 'harm' without comparison.
In order to expose Pryushkin's evil side and snatch the supply from him, Hydson did not have to think hard about the goods he prepared this time.
His fleet of carriages consisted of 45 vehicles.
And each one was fully loaded.
The caravan numbered 107 men.
But there were only 12 mercenaries.
It can be seen that this mercenary has also put some thought into it.
For example, what to do after a clash with Pryushkin's ten-man mercenary team.
The Miami mentor is full of Austrian energy today, not to mention more than 20 mercenaries, even if it is doubled, he has leveled it down, and he finally raised his eyebrows.
The disciple stared in silence, he didn't want to see it for the third time.
Charlie was the first time he had seen a serious trader in another world.
The goods on the car were all loaded, and she looked too troublesome one by one, at this time, Serge, who had been following Charlie as a 'vase', finally couldn't hold back and said:
"Lord Earl, when the merchants visit a place, they will stay in an area that has been assigned to them, and then they will build camps.
The carriage will become their temporary 'shop', and you just need to assign them an open space and give them an afternoon.
You'll be pleasantly surprised when you come back. ”
Not everyone is so greedy that they want to monopolize the supply of pearls with ten truckloads of animal feed.
With Charlie's approval, Hydson was eager to whip the slackers of his caravan so that they could hold up the trade zone in a minute.
The caravan is booming.
The villagers of Beira watched curiously, and to be honest, they had never seen such a scene before.
Fear and interest became sticks and carrots hanging over Heidenson's head.
It only took them 2 hours to prop up a circular trade zone in the area Charlie had demarcated for them.
The 45 carriages were connected to each other in a large 'circle', and a bonfire was lit in the middle, and some of the wandering merchants who wandered with the merchant group began to eat on the bonfire.
Flavorful snacks from all over the Holy Platinum Empire are also a major feature of the wandering merchant group.
'Goo-dong', 'Goo-dong'......
As soon as the sea breeze blew, the aroma of these foods spread, and the onlookers all swallowed their saliva.
Charlie really didn't worry about them, the villagers who didn't know anything about the price, so he directly called Scarface and ordered, "Call all the people in the castle to help." ”
"You work hard, maintain order on the side, and mainly see if the caravan has deceived these villagers."
After that, Charlie walked up to Bedson, "I see your sincerity, then, do you want to talk to me about a big deal?" ”、
The pile of wolf bones, wolf fangs, and some of the wolf's fur in the castle's cellar will be an important part of her mission.
And, of course, there were the pearls that Charlie had exchanged for wolf fur from the villagers, and she knew that the noble lady would buy them for 350 gold coins.
