"What? Your Excellency the Eye of the Storm thinks this is too much? Lu Kaifeng chuckled.

10 million Nayat gold coins, this is a very large amount, and the food expenses of the 20,000 people of the Galea Chiyan Army for a year are only 100,000 gold coins, and the total will not exceed 1 million a year when you count other expenses such as military salaries and armaments.

And now, Audri Thanrian wants to use the ten years of military expenses of the Red Yan Army to redeem his sword.

Although this amount is indeed too high, but the negotiation, isn't it just that the lion opens its mouth, and then you cut it, and I lift it, and then it will get to the expected position. Otherwise, as soon as you come up, it will be at a price similar to your psychological expectations, and others will cut you in half, so won't you lose money?

So this 10 million Lu Kaifeng just said it to bluff people, the purpose is to let the other party know that this talk can be discussed, but you will definitely bleed.

Audri naturally knew this, and he would not agree to this price no matter what. As long as he is willing to take the time to travel north and south to collect materials, this 10 million is enough for him to build three more!

"Your Excellency, this is probably too greedy. Although the Wrath of the Storm is a good sword made of Augin, and it has been inscribed and enchanted by the Archmage, its value is far less than ten million. ”

Audri knew that it was time to bargain, so he said slowly.

"Oh? How much are you going to pay? ”

Lu Kaifeng didn't react to Audri's words, negotiating, just talk slowly, anyway, he is not in a hurry, this time, he will earn everything. On the other side, although the old man looked calm, in fact, he was probably more anxious than anyone else, and he just had to test it slowly.

"Hmm... How about 1.5 million, Your Excellency? ”

Audri pondered for a moment, then frowned, made a heartache and said.

Hearing this price, Lu Kaifeng sneered in his heart.

Hehe, one and a half million?! Your sword was made by Augin, Augin, a precious metal rarer than platinum. Not only is it hard, tough, and has excellent magic conductive properties, but the Ogin is also lighter than Mithril, and the weight of the same volume is twice that of fine iron (for the strength of a platinum-level powerhouse, the fine iron blade is too light). Outside, a palm-sized piece of gold can be sold for almost 100,000 gold coins, and there is no market. And if you want to build a weapon, you have to get together seven or eight pounds, right? It is also inlaid with a wind element gem, and it has been enchanted by the great magister of the wind of the elf clan, and he actually wants to redeem it for one and a half million?

Even if you find the materials yourself, you don't have to spend so much money, but I count them by the materials.

One and a half million? It's too beautiful, isn't it?

Lu Kaifeng looked at Audri and smiled, didn't speak, and continued to drink his tea.

Seeing Lu Kaifeng's eyes, Audri knew that this kid was not easy to fool. Also, he is also a platinum-level powerhouse, how can he not know the value of a weapon made by Aojin?

"It seems that Your Excellency is not satisfied. So how about two million? ”

Lu Kaifeng was indifferent.

"Two and a half million?"

Lu Kaifeng still didn't speak.

Audri frowned slightly, adding more, but it was about to reach the cost he had spent on making this Storm Fury. But judging from Lu Kaifeng's expression, his appetite is far more than that.

Behind him, Dylan really couldn't stand it. His teachers have already lowered their posture like this, and he is still not satisfied. Even if he is also a platinum-level powerhouse, it is too faceless, right? How can you say that your teacher is also your senior?

He himself was very disgusted with Lu Kaifeng because he defeated Audrey and "snatched" Ophelia, and now when he saw that his old god was slaughtering his teacher on the ground, he was even more angry in his heart, and immediately scolded him:

"If you rob someone else's things and ask others to pay for them, are you a robber in the mountains? If you don't know how to respect the elderly, and if you don't have a little shame, you don't have the qualities that a strong person should have! Don't think that if you win by luck, my teacher thinks that he is omnipotent, tell you..."

"Xiao Di!" Before Dylan could finish speaking, Audri interrupted him with a scolding.

Seeing that his teacher had spoken, Dylan stopped talking.

On the side, Lu Kaifeng looked at the young man with some amusement.

By the skin of one's teeth? What qualities a strong person should have? You're too young, and even I, who has only learned about the rules of this world from novels, know that here, only the law of the jungle is believed.

"What are you laughing at?" Seeing Lu Kaifeng laughing, Di Lan was angry, and he couldn't hold back for a while, and asked out loud.

"I'm laughing at your naivety."

Before Dylan could refute, Lu Kaifeng stretched out his hand, stopped his movements, and continued:

"Respect? Your teacher insults an innocent person for no reason, and deserves my respect? Shame? If you bully others, you will have shame? Brigand? That's what I did, do you have a solution? Don't talk about you, even if it's your teacher, you can't help it! If you don't believe me, you ask him if it's a fluke that I beat him. ”

After a series of questions, Dylan was speechless, and when he just thought of some words to refute, Audri stopped him again.

"That's enough, Di."

"But, teacher, he..."

"The old man said, enough!"

Dylan wanted to say a few words, but when he heard Audrey's majestic voice, he stopped instantly. Whenever his teacher spoke like that, he knew what he was supposed to do. This is the experience he has accumulated over a long period of time.

Seeing that Dylan was no longer excited, Audri's voice softened:

"Dilan is relatively young and enthusiastic, and he is not sensible, please forgive me."

"It's okay, who didn't have a young age."

"If only you could understand. Let's get back to business. ”

"Okay. I'm not kidding you anymore. If you want to get your sword back, you can, and the price is not high, four million. If you can accept it, I will return it to you, and if you can't accept it, you will stay. ”

"Four million is still a bit high, three and a half million. Storm Fury, though not an ordinary sword, has a spirituality. But it is precisely because of this that it wanders around with the old man, and it is completely compatible with the old man. If it is used by other people, it will cause it to resist, and it will not be able to exert its original power, so it is better for you to use the old man's ransom to build one. Three and a half million, enough for Your Excellency to build a good weapon. ”

"I didn't say I wanted to use it myself, I could sell it to others. The sword of the platinum-level powerhouse, tsk, if it can be kept at home as a collection, it is also a thing worth showing off. I believe that in this world, there are still people who are not afraid of you, even ordinary people. ”

Hearing Lu Kaifeng say this, Audri knew that four million was already the bottom line of the other party. Although it is beyond the price of his construction, it is still acceptable. Some of his materials were found on his own, so he didn't put that much into building Stormwrath in the first place. But if it is completely calculated according to the price of materials, plus the price paid for forging, enchantment, etc., it is almost four million.

Of course, he can not redeem it from Lu Kaifeng, but he has to pay not only money but also time and energy to build a sword blade of this level, and he doesn't have so much time and energy anymore. Moreover, even if you build another one, the fit can't compare to Stormfury.

Just buy another one for yourself.

Thinking so, Audri nodded:

"Okay, four million, the old man accepts. But some of them have to use some materials instead, rest assured, it won't be the kind of goods that can be obtained casually. ”

Do you pay with materials?

Just right! Money is almost enough, no matter how much it is, it's just a number, it's better to change it directly to an item, save time and effort, and maintain its value!

"Okay, that's it."

Soon, with the help of Ophelia and Kense, Lu Kaifeng and Audrey finalized the details of the ransom.

Audri would pay two and a half million golden tickets, and the remaining one and a half million would be paid with an equal amount of rare materials. These 1.5 million rare materials include metals, medicinal herbs, potions, props and other items.

Originally, Lu Kaifeng was not very willing to pay with materials, because he had only been in this world for a few months, and he didn't know much about these things, and even the words were still being studied. However, before coming, Ophelia had already analyzed him and promised to work with her father to help him check the gates, so Lu Kaifeng changed his mind.

Anyway, even if he doesn't need it, he can turn around and sell it to Kense, and he won't lose anything.

So, in this "harmonious" atmosphere, Lu Kaifeng earned the first pot of gold in his life (in the other world).

...

A dozen kilometers north of Galimon there is a small town. The town is called Gocha, and it is not very large, with a population of only a few thousand, and it is not a significant city in terms of location.

Although it is a necessary place to go to the northwest of the continent, the northwest of the continent is a barren desert, where the living conditions are difficult, except for the coalition soldiers stationed there, there is basically no one else, and the coalition soldiers will basically pass through them for two or three years to change their guards.

Therefore, this town is basically not frequented by many people, except for a few merchants.

Today, however, a solo traveler arrived in the small town of Gocha.

He was dressed in an old cloak covered in dust and sand, and looked like he had been on a long journey. The cloak wrapped him so tightly that it was impossible to see his face or what he was wearing. The residents looked at him curiously, but they all kept their distance from him.

Because the direction he came from was the north. Coming from that direction were usually groups of men, either merchants or armies. And those who travel alone, most of them are fugitives. The desert in the northwest of the mainland is also a paradise for fugitives.

That's why they distanced themselves from him.

The Lone Wanderer didn't seem to care much about the attitude of the inhabitants, and he looked at the map in his hand and followed the instructions into the best tavern in the city.
