Sandra was slightly stunned, her thinking was a little dull, as if she understood something, but she didn't understand it for a while.

Sandra's daughter Fanny smiled charmingly, and said with some hesitation, "What does Lord Rhodes mean...... You're going to buy up the looms and subdue the kobolds. ”

Hearing her daughter's words, Sandra immediately came back to her senses and instantly figured out the joints, and sure enough, Rod's next words also confirmed her thoughts.

Rod nodded and admitted happily: "Well, yes, if I want to build the Northwest Desert, the kobolds and rat people who can survive in the desert are the races that must be subdued, and to subdue them, in addition to using force to deter, it is also necessary to solve the material problem." ”

Hungry men can't do physical work.

If you don't eat, you don't have strength, and even if you are timid, kobolds and rat people will burst out and hurt people when they are hungry.

Sandra stood up excitedly, and her plump figure couldn't help but tremble violently: "It's really great, is Lord Rhodes in a hurry, if you are not in a hurry, I will send someone to contact the merchants in the city now, and I will definitely give Lord Rhodes a reasonable and fair price." ”

Rhodes nodded yes, it's great to be able to solve the material problem so easily, and he was worried about whether there were so many supplies with the ability of Storm Province, but he didn't expect to encounter this incident.

"Well, I'll wait for the good news from Lady Sandra, as soon as the news is confirmed and the supplies are confirmed, I'll immediately collect those kobolds and rat people."

As long as he survives the beginning of this period, the demonic godhead can develop smoothly, and then he will be able to achieve a certain amount of self-sufficiency in the depths of the desert, and then he will only need to import a small amount of food to meet his needs.

Lady Sandra hurriedly said goodbye, and Fanny stepped forward charmingly, not caring about Simone's presence, and her body naturally attached to Rod's body.

"Lord Rhodes, we have never dared to forget your kindness to our mother and daughter, this time you have helped us a lot, I have prepared a residence for adults, I don't know if you can appreciate it."

Elastic and soft fit, Rod sat still and shook his head calmly.

"It's not about kindness, it's mutual benefit, if it weren't for the accumulation of merchants in Storm Province, I would be worried about how I would be able to buy enough supplies, but we will laugh at the residence you prepared, and after a few days of driving, the whole person is a little tired."

Rod left soft without a trace, Fanny glanced at Rod with vague coquettishness, her hands tapped, and four waitresses walked in from outside.

"Lord Rod, I know that you will not enter the castle to live, so I have set up this place, you can use this inn as you like, and if you have any orders, you can send them to do it at any time, then I will not disturb Rod's beating and resting."

Fanny walked out of the hotel gracefully.

The four waitresses bowed respectfully.

Daphne and Marianne trotted all the way upstairs with expressions of relief on their faces.

The two waitresses hurriedly trotted up.

Rod shook his head and said to the two maids who were standing: "I don't have so many rules here, and the two of us don't need you to take care of them, we will stay in the first room on the second floor, and you two can also find a room to rest, I will inform you if I need anything." ”

Rod and Simone walked up to the second floor together, the two maids glanced at each other, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and after thinking about it, the two maids also walked up to the second floor and entered the room next to Rod, ready to be summoned at any time.

Rod and Simone entered the room, the room was very large, and they could see that there were two beds, and the two of them were a little tired and lay on the beds, the intensity of the recent rush was not great, and the psychological laziness was inevitable.

Therefore, it is rare that the two who have not slept for a long time quickly fell asleep.

Even the things that were supposed to be discussed were put aside for the time being.

The next day was fast approaching, and Daphne and Marianne opened the door from the outside, quietly looked into the room, and pouted in disappointment.

Rhodes and Simone were already sitting on either side of the table, and there was a sub-topographic map on the table, which was none other than the Great Northwest Desert, which was the terrain information they had left behind after they had come to the Great Northwest Desert last time to scan it with their magic.

At this time, there is a letter on the topographic map, and the price of the storm province is faintly visible.

Seeing Daphne and Marianne, Rhodes smiled as if you had finally arrived: "You're here too, just to tell you something." ”

Daphne and Marianne instinctively felt that it was too late, and Simone teleported behind them, grabbed them by the collar and carried them in.

Daphne and Marianne clutched their pockets tightly and said in unison, "No gold coins." ”

Rod coughed dryly: "Do I look like I'm going to take your gold coins?" ”

Daphne and Marianne nodded vigorously.

Simone rolled her eyes at Rhodes and took over directly: "Put aside the gold coins in advance, we were planning to seduce the kobold by pretending to be a caravan just now." ”

Due to the tightening of the caravan and the reinforced defense of the border of Stormwind Province by Sandra, the kobolds and nezumi have not been successful in raiding for a long time, so as long as they appear as caravans, they will definitely attract the attention of kobolds and nezumi.

They planned to pretend to be a caravan as bait and dig out the kobolds and rat-people's nests.

Daphne and Marianne looked at each other.

"Halahara, if it's this kind of thing, let's say it earlier, really, why do you put a price list on the map, the people who hurt it misunderstood."

"Eun, that's right."

Rod coughed twice, and said embarrassedly: "But pretending to be a caravan requires gold coins, I currently have 5,000 gold coins, and Simone can also contribute 3,000 gold coins, so you see...... This one...... Isn't it. ”

Daphne and Marianne looked at Rhodes with disdain and sighed after a long time.

"The result is not to use gold coins, I also gave three thousand gold coins, really, if you want to use gold coins, say it earlier, just ran out."

"Me too, only three thousand gold coins."

Rod breathed a sigh of relief, with his understanding of the price of goods in this world, he originally thought that five thousand gold coins was enough, but the actual situation was much more complicated than he imagined.

Not to mention the expensive food, but only the most ordinary, only the food that the civilian population will eat.

The food of this world is calculated by portions.

One serving of the most common food is enough for an ordinary adult to eat for a day, and such a serving of food usually requires six copper slots, that is, one copper coin can buy two servings of food.

However, due to the congestion of materials in Storm Province and the sale of old rice, the prices of various materials have dropped, and one copper coin can buy food for three people.

That is to say, 5,000 gold coins can be bought, and 150 million servings of food are enough for one person to eat for 410,000 years.

Such a strong purchasing power gave Rhodes the illusion that the prices in the other world were cheap, but this was only an illusion.

Just like the huge differences in the level of science and technology in various countries and regions in the world.

Due to the extremely prevalence of low-cost civilian magic products promoted by Professor Poander, the cost of food production in this world is extremely low, and the output is very large, so the price is naturally very cheap.

The grain cultivated by a hard-working farmer can not only be used for his own consumption, but also can be sold to earn some living expenses.

But on the other hand, it's very expensive in other ways.

An ordinary carnivorous monster like a fire-breathing cow costs ten silver coins a catty.

And some high-end ingredients with special effects are so expensive that Rhodes almost lost his temper.

Because of the wrong estimate, Rod didn't take the gold from Roxanne at all, thinking that five thousand gold coins was enough, but in fact it was not enough at all.

It's just food.
