Chapter 14: Marina City
Marina City Exchange.
This is a rather deserted trading place in Coastal City, where bulk materials are usually traded, and basic resources such as minerals, stones, and timber are traded here. However, in addition to rare minerals, which will be purchased by foreign merchants, the trade of basic resources is generally carried out between local lords, and ordinary people are unlikely to need these things, and most of the people who purchase and sell them are noble lords of various territories.
Entering the door and turning right is a service desk, where the sale of materials needs to be registered, and purchases also need to place orders here. A young fox male was lying on a table, apparently asleep.
Barr ignored him and went straight to the second floor.
The second floor is a large hall, and directly in front of it is a large magic display, separated by a black line in the middle, divided into two parts, left and right. The procurement information on the left is all the purchase information, the right is the information for the sale of various materials, Barr took a look, and the procurement information on the left shows that the purchase is basically rare minerals and materials, such as hematite, alpha gold ore, etc., and the right side sells a dazzling array of everything.
I looked around.
There are two humans and a tiger man sitting at the table in the left corner, look at the dress, those two humans should be merchants, as for the tiger man should be some noble lord, the three of them are talking in a low voice. Other than that, Barr was the only one left upstairs. This is not surprising, this is not a time of war, and large material transactions are not frequent.
Sorting out his thoughts, Barr walked over to the screen.
Watching a minotaur walk in, the tigerman sitting by the wall glanced towards Baal, then lowered his head and continued to talk to the human merchant sitting in front of him.
This time, Baal wants to purchase mainly basic materials, looking at the list for sale, carefully searching, Baal is trying to find the sales information of the villages and towns closest to his territory, Baal has not yet established a village, nor has he built a market, and the materials have to be transported by caravans, so naturally the closer to his own territory, the better.
When the market is established, it will be very different. The market will automatically radiate a certain range around, between the two markets within the radiation range, the materials can be transported and transferred over long distances, which is convenient and fast, and the higher the level of the market, the greater the radiation range.
Good luck.
Barr saw the name of Amos Town Mayor Artemo in the list, Amos Town is the closest first-class town to Baal's territory, and the mayor is also a Minotaur, which is good news for Barr, in Baal's impression that the Minotaur is still very united internally, so that there can be less trouble.
After looking at the resources sold in Amos Town, the variety is complete, and the price is fair.
The price of wood and stone was 5 silver per unit, and Baal planned to buy 10,000 units each, which would cost 1,000 gold coins, which was enough for his own upfront needs. In addition, Barr is also ready to purchase 7,000 units of sweet potatoes and 3,000 units of Lele Cai, which cost 300 gold coins. After all, even if the territory is established, there is no way to harvest food in a short period of time. The growth cycle of Bashu is three months, four harvests a year, and Lele cuisine is longer, so you can't go hungry together.
After choosing the goods, Barr didn't stay any longer and went downstairs to place the order.
Walking to the front of the service desk, Barr was speechless for a while, and the fox youth was still asleep.
"Hey, bro, wake up, wake up!"
Barr tapped the table in front of him.
"Who? It's time to get off work? ”
The young man of the fox tribe woke up in a daze, muttered a few words in his mouth, got up and rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes, and looked at the young minotaur standing in front of him, and then he reacted, this is a guest.
"Ah, my lord, are you going to buy or sell supplies? I'm so sorry I fell asleep by accident, but please forgive me. ”
The young man of the fox clan hurriedly stood up in a panic, the guests who could come here were all nobles, in case he offended any of them with a bad temper, he couldn't eat and walk.
"It's okay, I want to buy some supplies for sale in Amos Town, you can help me place an order, I need 10,000 units of wood and stone, as well as 7,000 units of potatoes and 3,000 units of Lele Cai." Barr wasn't annoyed either, and smiled slightly.
"Okay, my lord, you need to pay a 10% deposit first, in addition, please ask where the delivery location is, if it is more than ten kilometers, you also need to pay the other party 5 gold coins per kilometer freight fee." The fox clan youth said respectfully.
"This is a deposit, the delivery location is at the south gate entrance of Amos Town, but I need the other party to deliver the goods to the location of Mermaid Bay (158,26), I will pay the freight separately, and the delivery time will be set at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."
Barr took out 130 gold coins and handed it to the fox youth in front of him, and the other party handed over a purchase contract, and after filling it out as required, the deal was considered closed. The fox youth handed Baal a round yellow sign, looked at it, and it said 1995630 number, this is the transaction certificate, and Baal put the sign away.
"My lord, you go slowly."
The deal was completed, and Barr left the exchange.
As for the follow-up, Barr didn't need to worry about it, and the exchange would naturally negotiate with the mayor of Amos.
Now that it has been agreed that the goods will be delivered tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, Barr will not stay any longer, and Marina City is not a short distance from the town of Amos, and he must arrive before this evening, otherwise he will not be able to make the delivery of the goods.
Walking to Amostown is not a wise choice, not only is it slow, but it can also be dangerous. Barr plans to take a special car from Marina City to Amos Town, the so-called special car, in fact, is a convoy of beast cars, the team will be guarded by experts, the security is very high, and the convoy will go to and from the surrounding towns on time every day.
After inquiring with passers-by, the special bus from Marina City to Amos Town departs at 1 p.m. and returns to Marina City the next morning, not far south of the Exchange. Since it is an afternoon departure, you can finish lunch before leaving, but you still have to buy your ticket in advance.
Cross the street to the south and turn right, Barr finds the Marina car dealership.
The person in charge of the dealership is a middle-aged fox man, and after paying the fee of 5 gold coins, Baal gets a seat on the car and a ticket made of leather, which is engraved with some magic patterns, which can act as an anti-counterfeiting effect.
"Boss, bring me twenty skewers of grilled squid."
For lunch, Barr eats a roadside stall, and in Marina City, it is natural to eat seafood. Selling grilled squid on the side of the road is a chubby wild boar man, who is extremely talented in cooking, and often produces some talented chefs and gourmets in the family.
Seeing Bal holding a large row of grilled squid and gnawing wildly, Uncle Wild Boar was a little embarrassed, the current Minotaur is really more wild boar than the wild boar man.
......
The caravan to the town of Amos set off in a mighty way.
Baal managed to get on the beast cart, and the convoy consisted of thirty-two beast carts, one after the other in a long line, which looked quite spectacular. On the left of the team was a group of wolf cavalry, a total of six people. The wolf cavalry is a level 70 fourth-order class, with strong mobility, and among all the fourth-order troops, the strength is considered to be above average, this is the escort team sent by Marina City this time.
At first, Barr looked at the surrounding scenery with interest, but he got bored after a while, the road was quite calm, there were wolf cavalry here, and low-level monsters were scared away from afar, plus this is an official road, and Marina City will send troops to clean up regularly, and the number of monsters is not small.
In the world of Rand, the higher the level of the monster, the slower the refresh rate, which is also a point that players in the previous life were very criticized.
According to this world, after the monster dies, the soul will absorb the free elements in the air to reunite the body, and then generate new monsters, the more powerful the monster needs to be reborn, the more energy is needed to regenerate, and the slower the speed of rebirth, theoretically, unless the soul origin of the monster is destroyed, the monster will not be really killed.
Newborn monsters will lose all the memories stored in the original source, and only retain the fighting instinct.
However, I heard that it seems that some very powerful monsters can retain their memories and be reborn, so most of the powerful monsters in this world are sealed and rarely killed directly. Of course, these are just rumors, and no one can say whether they are true or not.
