Chapter 146: Buying and Selling
"Be smart, Beard, don't think I'm a soft-hearted good person, we only have interests between us—"
The young lord of Jinlunga looked down at Bild condescendingly, his hand snapping his sword into the ground in front of him.
"Of course, you owe me a little favor, like some free information."
This kind of two-sided coercion is undoubtedly a double stimulus of violent threats and worldly morality, and although Beard is vulgar, as a trader, the primary guarantee is profit, not a dwarf of one-half kobold blood that is incompatible with the world of Gnodia. So he immediately got up from the ground, wiped his beard full of faces—well, full of beards, and looked up.
After a few months of not seeing him, he already had to look up at Green, a boy of this age who always grew up very fast.
"Well, Beard was so unlucky, he was saved by the smelly and lazy human 'brain' (the pronunciation of the dwarven nobleman in the lingua franca)," Beard muttered scolding, not realizing who the human nobleman in front of him was, "but Bilder is the most trustworthy!" The kobolds know, and the dwarves know that Beard does what he says! Say, little bunny, what do you want from Beard? ”
Green glanced at Samael, who was leaning against the wall with a spear behind him, and was skeptical of the "credit" in the second half of Beard's sentence.
"I said, first of all, I need free intelligence."
Bilder was stunned for a moment, then spat on the ground, "Why do humans always point like rabbits!" Free information? Bilder can't reveal information to you indefinitely! That's money, stinking and shiny gold coins! Damn stupid, haven't you heard from the mages? Knowledge is gold! ”
"That's 'knowledge is power.'" Green reluctantly corrects Bilder's mistake, but subconsciously, he believes that Bilder is not misremembering, but that is what he means with his own values. "You see, I know you very well, what you said is an act that hurts you, my original intention was to cooperate with you for a long time, and such consequences are not what I want to see."
"First of all, to confirm my sincerity. Please pay attention to this sword. Green reached out and gestured to the broken sword stuck in the floor, making a gesture of please.
"What the hell is this......" Beard glanced down, he didn't care at first, after all, a broken sword, no matter how beautiful, was a defective product. But when he looked closely, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. Mystical traders all have some special skills, such as high-level identification techniques, and Beard quickly discovers the difference between the holy sword and the powerful energy it still contains, and he suddenly looks up. "Artifact? You're going to trade it? ”
Green scoffed and glanced at Beard, "Deal? Let's not talk about whether you have enough ability to pay and want to trade it, you might as well try to pull it out from here, rest assured, I won't interfere. Green took a step back.
Beard looked at Green suspiciously. In the end, I decided to give it a try. He stepped forward with small steps, grabbed the hilt of the holy sword with one hand and pulled it hard. To his behalf, the Holy Sword inserted into the wooden floor did not move at all.
Wildman Beard was stunned for a moment, then snorted, grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands, and pulled it out with a low roar.
There was a click, and a crack was torn open in the wooden floor. But the blade of the sword was still firmly stuck in the plank, without the slightest wavering.
"Damn, why is this thing so tight?" Beard sat down on the floor, gasping for air.
"Tight?" Green raised an eyebrow and walked over and tucked his thumb at it. Easily brought out the holy sword, "Now, what do you think?" ”
The dwarf watched in amazement as he watched with great ease, and the huge amount of information in his head quickly searched for the closest facts.
"This—this is ...... The Sword of the King's Choice! Bilder exclaimed, and immediately subconsciously covered his mouth. He looked at Green in disbelief to get a confirmation, and when he saw the young man nodding, he suddenly showed a strange expression.
The world-famous Elector Saint Sword actually appeared in an ordinary hotel room at this moment, which couldn't help but surprise him. However, Beard soon realized the extraordinary value of the item, and he swallowed at the thought of how much it might sell for.
Noticing Bilder's greedy eyes, Green immediately snorted coldly, "Do you want to get the benefits that don't necessarily save zài more than offending a natural king?" ”
This sentence was like cold water pouring down, and it suddenly made Bilder sober up a lot. He looked into Grimm's gaze again, and suddenly there was a lot of awe.
People lie, but swords don't, and the sword of choice is undoubtedly more convincing than those crowns studded with gold and silver.
"You already know my identity, and you should also know my sincerity and future, so you can rest assured that you can trade with me - let's talk about the issue of intelligence first: I know your price standard, intelligence information below one gold coin, you can provide it to me for free, and how about a 50% discount on the rest of the transaction?"
At the mention of money, Beard suddenly sobered up from his shock. He rolled his eyes, the earning power of the intelligence house is terrifying, but it is all because the information transmission in this world is extremely slow and the intelligence is sluggish, so useful information is often sold very expensive, as for those myths and legends, tavern rumors and other irrelevant "", not only the price is low, but the actual purchase of people is also very few, in terms of actual income, it does not affect his trading.
But he shook his head anyway.
"Five-fold, no! Get you up to one...... No, five copper coins! ”
Green rolled his eyes angrily, and everyone said that the price was all over the place to pay back the money, but he was okay and sat directly underground. But fortunately, Green heard the meaning of his words and had acquiesced to the first half of the conditions, so Green was patient and moved a chair to sit and bargain with him, "Five copper coins?" Hey, Zunzi, don't forget that you can even sell me information below one gold coin for free, so you have to cheapen me by one gold coin, right? Why don't you get a six-fold discount? ”
"Uh...... One gold coin! Just one gold coin! Bilder choked on his short legs, ran for a long time and drew his sword vigorously, his heart was overloaded, and it had not subsided yet.
Green pursed his lips with a look of disgust, "People say that kobolds have an extraordinary penchant for gold coins. As a businessman, you are greedy but shrewd, but you didn't expect you to inherit the blood of kobolds, but you have no business acumen at all. ”
At the mention of this, Bilder's eyes were immediately anxious. Due to his mother's koboldness, Beard is not well received among the dwarves, but the opposite is his personal attitude. He never complained about his origins, but rather cherished and was proud of his kobold bloodline, and when he heard Green say that he was not worthy of kobold blood, Beard immediately left the merchant's calculations behind.
"You fart !!" Whether it is a dwarf or a kobold, the voice is not small, Beard's voice came out, and the shock made Green and Samael cover their ears at the same time, "Bilder is a dwarf, and he is a kobold!" Beard has pure Ferron pit kobold blood! Gold coins are Beard's favorite! Hemp is not qualified to comment on Beard. Beard is definitely the most authentic dwarf - and the most authentic kobold! ”
It was easy to wait until he finished yelling, and Green couldn't help but roll his eyes. Excited to be like this for the sake of being a kobold, Beard is also quite hard.
"Since you say you're a kobold, why can't you even see a simple relationship of interest?" Green leaned over slightly, giving in the strange smell of Bilder's roar, "You see, if you don't want to give me a low price, then I'll be very dissatisfied." So I'm going to reduce the number of times I trade with you, for example. I bought information from you ten times for one hundred gold coins, and you gave me a concession of one gold coin each time, well, you made nine hundred and ninety gold coins, but I decided not to trade with you again; And on the other hand, if you give me a 6% discount, then you will only earn 60 gold coins each time. But I'll buy it twenty, thirty, a hundred times from you! As a result, you can earn 6,000 coins! Since you keep saying you're a greedy kobold, tell me, Beard, which one will make you touch more cool, smooth gold coins of the right value? ”
As he spoke, Green placed the holy sword flat on his lap. Intentionally or unintentionally, he touched the cold sword body, and a harmless smile appeared on his face.
Beard thought for a moment, blinked his eyes again, and finally moved his lips, and instead of speaking, he looked dejected.
“…… Okay okay, damn Sword of the King's Choice, damn human imp, you've impressed me, say, what do you want to know? ”
Green smiled with satisfaction, he knew that Samael had been watching from behind, turned his head and made a V gesture, and then turned back to face Beard, "What I'm more curious about lately is the question of the Three Kings, is there any connection between the Emperor and the mage?" ”
"Nonsense, Gracia was a rigid mage." Beard replied angrily, it was a matter of common sense, and even though he would normally only receive a symbolic copper coin. This guy seems to be very dark, but he is actually not too mean when it comes to worthless goods, which is one of the reasons why he is so popular with players in Follow the Miracle.
Green didn't care about his bad attitude, shook his head and asked, "I'm talking about the general connection between the statue of the Emperor and the mages, such as the power of faith or something. ”
Beard frowned and thought about it, and shook his head decisively, "I haven't heard of it, Beard only knows that this thing can boost morale in that fucking era, and the others don't know." ”
The savage said he didn't know, and it was probably not connected. Green thought about it and finally decided to give up on the issue for the time being.
He put away the holy sword, then asked a second question.
"Before we talk about trading items, I need a little bit of your sincerity in return, such as a talent opening book."
"The kind with a heritage? Human beings really don't have vision, Beard has so many good things here, he just wants a broken book......" Wild Beard muttered, letting go of the burden he was carrying. As a mysterious merchant, of course he will not run all over the ground with goods on his back, and the unsightly broken sack behind him is actually a space prop specially made for him by the mage craftsman of Endymion, and if the other dimension in it is concretized, it will probably not be a little bit different from the treasure house of the dragon.
"Don't be in a hurry, Beard," Grimm resisted the urge to rob him as he watched Bilder pull out the books one by one, and then stopped his movements, "I don't want an ordinary gifted open-book—and it's not too precious, in fact, you promised to keep that book for me." ”
As he spoke, Beard handed him the piece of brown paper when Green found the White Rock City from his space backpack, "Do you remember? Four months ago, in the City of White Stone, you promised to buy a Teenage Nian Dou Genre Talent Opening Book for twice the price, and now it's time for you to make good on your promise. ”
Beard glared at the brown paper and exclaimed, "It's you little rabbit!" But then his face changed again.
Green saw him go from surprise to panic and from panic to annoyance, and his heart suddenly tightened. The problem of trade was a temporary reminder of him, Beard had great potential as a businessman, and his current achievements confirmed this, Green planned to do business with him step by step, buy his things and buy his information, and wait until the relationship between the two sides was harmonious, then buy his people, and lay a solid foundation for the future business development of Jin Lunga, but his primary concern was the talent opening book of the Nian Dou school.
And Beard's expression was very bad.
"Bastard, you're not going to sell it!?" Green couldn't help but raise his voice, and the sword of the king's choice, which had just withdrawn its scabbard, revealed a cold glow again.
"That, you see, it's been four months, Beard has kobold blood, and it's inevitable that he will forget jì, then I still have a lot of talent books, you can choose one at random, no, no, choose a few more, choose a few more......" Seeing the young lord in front of him with such a terrifying expression, Beard suddenly became busy. He is not a person who is fearless about life and death, which can be seen from his appearance when he was chased and killed by the thugs, as soon as he saw that Green showed signs of anger, he hurriedly pushed out his burden and kept explaining.
"Say, where did you sell it?" Green gritted his teeth in hatred.
"You also know, the martial arts conference in Mierte has been very popular recently, and there is a little girl who wants to participate, and finally I picked that talent book, which I bought the day before yesterday, I, I know where she lives!" As a trader, Beard always believed that unnecessary trouble should not be provoked, so he tried his best to make amends for his mistakes in the hope that Green would calm his anger.
Worst!
As soon as he heard that he was going to participate in the martial arts conference, Green's heart suddenly cooled. The opening of the martial arts conference is imminent, if you want to enhance your strength, I am afraid that the buyer will use that talent book soon, but the fighting technique especially needs time to be honed, even the Tianzhong Wizard cannot achieve the cheating effect of Green, and the advanced strength is not very useful at the beginning of the critical game, so it is not ruled out that the other party just bought it to prepare.
So Grimm got up.
"Samail, you stay here and wait for Albert, and Bilder and I will go to the buyer." Green quickly commanded, and he was so anxious at the thought that the talent opening book fell into someone else's hands, and every second could be used, and he couldn't stay for a moment, "Damn, Beard, you idiot, take me quickly!" If I don't get the talent to open the book, your merchant reputation is finished! ”
Successful businessmen know that honesty is equivalent to a potentially huge benefit for them, and Beard knows that this time it is his fault, and even if Green publicizes it, he will be helpless, so he quickly lifts his little short legs to lead the way for Green, hoping that the girl doll will not use the book.
"Hey, hey!" (To be continued......)
