Chapter 287: Trading and Taobao
Green didn't expect that the Demon Lord would be the most important material for repairing the Floating City.
If Queen Rhea showed a desire for the Demon Lord, Green might have thought about it again, but Queen Rhea did not show a special need for the Demon Lord from beginning to end, which largely misled Green's judgment.
At this time, Green's main attention was still on the Royal Library, and he didn't pay enough attention to the demon lord who had been left in the summoning hall by himself.
Green wasn't worried that someone would steal his seal crystal. Huge crystals several stories high, there is no way to steal them unless you tear down the roof of the summoning hall!
So Grimm followed the female knight named Lin to the palace with great peace of mind.
The majestic castle towers in the center of the city, with blue flags fluttering on the white walls and patrolling guards standing on the towering lookouts.
As the Queen's Chief of Guard, Lynn has extremely high authority in the palace. While the female knight was negotiating with the guards, a snow-white flying horse ran through the sky.
Green looked up at the figure on the flying horse. The person sitting on the back of Pegasus is Queen Rhea!
"Alright, let's go inside." The female knight said to Green.
"We should have come back on a pegasus."
The female knight glanced at Green: "Except for the queen and the queen's guards, anyone who dares to fly near the palace will be killed!" β
Green shrugged, "I'm just talking. β
The female knight carried Green through the vestibule and into the palace. But unexpectedly, the female knight did not take Green directly to the library, but took Green to the meeting room.
With a red Siemir carpet at his feet, ornate crystal lights on the ceiling, fruit and pastries on a coffee table, and two maids standing in the doorway, ready to be summoned.
"It doesn't look like a library here, does it?" Green looked at the female knight leading the way.
"Dispose of the crystals you left in the academy first." The female knight glanced at Green, "You can't let that sealing crystal dominate the summoning hall all the time, right?" β
"Hmm......" Green scratched his head, "why didn't you say this kind of thing when you were in school?" β
"Because the professors were doing the appraisal at the time! You were in a hurry to get to the library, which is why Her Majesty ordered me to bring you here first. β
Green: "Huh...... So how long am I going to wait here? Why don't I go to the library first, and then come back to me after you've done your identification. β
Green wouldn't mind selling the big demon if the price was rightβit was too big, after all!
Female Knight: "The guards have just gone to inform you, and someone will come right away." β
"Oh...... Please hurry, I'm in a hurry. "Green can't wait to get to the library.
The female knight kept her mouth shut.
It wasn't long before the door opened, and a gentleman-looking mustache walked into the drawing-room.
"Oh! ~I'm sorry to keep you waiting. The mustachioed gentleman walked over with a smile on his face and saluted Green, "It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Luthor, the treasurer in charge of the kingdom's finances, Jesse Kee Luthor. β
"Hello, I'm Green." Green nodded.
The mustachioed gentleman smiled and sat down on the couch opposite Green: "I've heard about it. Her Majesty has entrusted me with the purchase of the Great Demon you have summoned. I'd like to make sure again, you're planning to sell the Great Demon in that seal, right? β
"It's not accurate to say it's for sale, I'm trying to trade it for something I can use." It's such a big thing, and it's quite a hassle to deal with! Therefore, Green prefers to trade it for what he needs.
"Hmm." The mustachioed gentleman took out a document, "This is an appraisal report from the academy." The demon you summoned is a demon lord from the Scarlet Wilderness, who has the laws of [Life], [Twist], and [Copy], is thirteen meters tall, has tough skin, and has abundant magical power......" Mustache held a document and read the contents of the document, "Estimated value, half a million Carter silver coins." β
"Hmm...... It feels cheaper than I thought. That's the equivalent of the price of a couple of sailboats. "A high-ranking slave costs 100,000 silver coins! Doesn't it feel like this big demon is a little too cheap?
"The price is just a guide. You can refer to the value of a dragon corpse. Of course, the corpse of a demon is certainly not as valuable as a dragon corpse. Because although the demon corpse is full of magic power, those magic powers are cursed, so the processing difficulty of the materials is much higher than that of the dragon corpse! And even if it is processed, most of them are cursed, so the value will be greatly reduced. In addition, this demon is actually alive, and it is much more troublesome to collect materials from it than from the corpse of a dragon......"
Unlike dragons that are "full of treasures", demons are "full of poison"! It is very difficult to "turn waste into treasure" and use it, which greatly limits the value of demons.
That being said, Green didn't feel worth it to just sell it. After all, it's a scarce commodity, and once it's sold, it's hard to get it back.
"I don't want money, I want something that money can't normally buy!" Greene paused, "I'm going to trade it for something in the Royal Treasury." β
"This ......," the mustachioed gentleman paused, "I'm sorry, I can't do this." β
"Then tell Her Majesty what I want." Green stood up, "I'll go to the library now." β
Although she doesn't seem to care much about the archdemon in the seal on the surface, Queen Rhea has actually been keeping an eye on the progress of this matter. So Green's request was quickly sent to the Queen!
"Your Majesty said that you can pick any item from the treasury." The mustachioed gentleman informed Green of the Queen's decision.
"So what are you waiting for? Lead the way! Green jumped up excitedly.
The Royal Treasury is located beneath the royal palace and is a huge underground warehouse.
After receiving the warrant issued by the Queen, the caretaker of the Royal Treasury opened the door to the Treasury.
"The treasure house is a forbidden area, and transcendents may feel some discomfort after entering the treasure house, please be careful." The Administrator admonished Green.
"Forbidden Zone?" Green blinked, "Is it to prevent theft?" β
"That's not the main reason. The real reason is that most items, especially those that are older, are prone to elves if they are placed in the High Magic area, and some items may even become monsters. In order to ensure the integrity of the treasure, it is necessary to prohibit demons, prevent fire, prevent moisture, and prevent insects. β
"I see."
Under the guidance of the Administrator, the group entered the treasury.
The treasure house is full of antiques, cultural relics and artworks, full of historical vicissitudes, giving people the feeling of being more like an antique exhibition hall than a treasure trove.
"This staff should work well for you." The female knight who accompanied Green in suddenly pointed to a staff on the wall.
It was a staff sealed tightly by rune bandages.
Green looked at the staff in the seal, and then at the nameplate under the staff: "Super Magic Staff: Can fire magic bullets like a magic guide gun; It can fire a magic cannon like a magic cannon; You can turn on the Ultra Magic Mode, which greatly increases the casting speed and magic power. In Ultra Magic mode, spell power and spell range are greatly increased......"
After reading the staff's introduction, Green casually threw an appraisal of the staff.

For the average mage, the Super Wizard Staff is indeed very useful, but Green is not an "ordinary" mage. If he encounters a strong enemy, Green will definitely be a space-shattering fist.
Greene: "I'll take another look." β
Green carefully observed the contents of the warehouse. Weapons, antiques, and some bizarre art.
Green wanders through a pile of antiques, using identification techniques to identify seemingly ordinary antiques one after another, trying to find valuable treasures from them.
"Is there a 'treasure' in here?" Green couldn't help but ask the storekeeper.
The storekeeper smiled: "If there is a treasure, it must have been taken out and used, how can it be left in the warehouse?" β
"Huh? What's going on with this bookcase? Green pointed to the glass bookcase in the corner, "How can there be a bookcase here?" β
In a place full of antiques, such a glass bookcase suddenly appeared, which seemed to be a bit inconsistent.
The storekeeper smiled: "There are some high-value ancient books there. β
"Ancient books?" Green's eyes moved slightly, "Have the contents of these ancient books been included in the Royal Library?" β
"Of course." The storekeeper smiled, "All that's left here is a collectible original. β
"That's right......" Green instantly lost interest in the bookshelf. These collectibles may be valuable in the eyes of collectors, but they are not very attractive in Green's eyes.
Green continued to search the treasure trove, searching for treasures as if he were searching for treasures on the black market. However, unlike the black market, even the most trash treasures here are blue boutiques, and purple rare items are everywhere......
Suddenly, Green saw a flash of gold!
Greene: "! β
