Barrett didn't say it explicitly, but his meaning was clear. As long as the 'Upper Valley Town' eats those ordinary loot, the cavalry equipment that belongs to the raiding captain can naturally be included in the scope of the transaction. Otherwise, the opponent will have to come up with other conditions that will make the players feel excited.

The cadres of 'Shangxigu Town', who knew that they didn't have much other capital in their hands, immediately fell into a heated discussion again. This time their voices were much louder than before, and although they didn't understand the codes and slang here, Barrett understood from their expressions that there should be a disagreement among the people in front of him—some of them frowned, some shook their heads, some opened their mouths with serious expressions, and some of them smiled and persuaded each other.

In fact, the conditions given by the players are far from black-hearted, but these leaders of 'Upper Valley Town', who have always held the initiative in the past, want more. In a sense, this is also a gap between ideals and reality.

Seeing that the discussion over there showed no sign of ending for a while, Rielly attached herself to Barrett's ear, covered her mouth with her hand and whispered, "Barrett, aren't you worried about the collapse of this talk?" ”

"Don't worry! It's okay. In my estimation, they will be able to make the same amount of money under the current conditions. As long as there is a profit, they will not give up. Judging from the comparison of the strength of the two sides, as long as we do not compromise, we will win in the end. Barrett, who responded in the same posture, had a faint confidence in his words to sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.

Soon, the first round of discussions among the cadres of 'Upper Valley Town' had reached a result, and then it was the white-bearded old man who was pushed out: "Don't a few young people think they are too greedy? It's true that magic items are scarce and expensive, but when it comes to ordinary second-hand equipment, your offer is too much! ”

Although the person in front of him is in his heart, I am afraid that Barrett and others have already been scolded bloody. But after he spoke, he didn't say a word. Because the old mayor of the town had long since passed his prime, he was now instinctively seeking to be sure of his steady—which was perhaps the main reason why he had been pushed out by the group to act as a negotiator.

You must know the leaders of these 'Upper Valley Town' in front of you. I don't know what the character of the mercenary I'm facing. And among the mercenary group, there are many unruly people, and there are even more hot-tempered ones. In the unlikely event that a conflict arises because of too heavy words, the 'Upper Valley Town', which is not currently superior in strength, will inevitably suffer a lot of losses. And when the time comes to face these leading figures of Barrett and others, it will be even more bad luck - it is in the spirit of the idea that 'porcelain does not touch the tiles', and the other party's performance will naturally be quite cautious.

"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense! Our 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' mercenary group on the mainland can always choose a mutually beneficial and win-win policy. You just have to inquire from those who know a little. It's not hard to learn about our past. Barrett reached out and patted the pastor on the shoulder, "This is the appraiser in our team, Lady Both, the golden-eyed messenger of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce'. Please don't doubt her professionalism. ”

"Golden-eyed bringer?" The white-bearded old man who heard this title had his pupils shrinking quite significantly. Obviously, this exclusive profession of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce left a very deep impression on his mind: 'When was the last time you saw the Golden Eyed Emissary?' I still remember the flattery and smile that Lord Singh had at the time of the golden-eyed messenger......

As a relatively prosperous commercial town, Upper Valley Town is indispensable to deal with the church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce. It can even be said that the influence of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce Church on Upper Valley is not under the nearby noble lords. In this environment, the local administrators have an organizational structure within the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce. It must be enough to know. This makes Klematis Both's status as the 'Golden-Eyed Messenger' extremely influential at such times.

Seeing the changing expression on the whitebeard's face, Barrett forced a smile and gave himself a thumbs up in his heart: "It looks like this card is playing the right card." In this way, the identity of Clematis may have a chance to come in handy again in the future......

When the white-bearded old man woke up from his memories of the past, he used the gesture of touching his beard to hide the embarrassment of his recent gaffe. Then he cleared his throat: "Ahem! I didn't expect there to be such a big man among you, please allow us to discuss this deal again. ”

Next, the leaders of the 'Upper Valley Town' in front of them began a second consultation. Even those who don't know how to read words and emotions can find that this time the opposition is much smaller than before—and it is obviously the identity of Clematis that plays a big role.

When the last of the opponents bowed his head and sighed. The white-bearded old man finally nodded: "We agree to your terms in principle, but we will arrange for professionals to inspect them when we trade." ”

"That's the way it should be!" Barrett seemed to suddenly remember: "Then I want to ask." After the transaction is completed, what payment method will 'Upper Valley Town' use? This transaction requires at least 3,000-4,000 gold. I'm worried about the adequacy of the liquidity and equivalents you have in your hands. ”

3,000-4,000 gold is indeed not a big amount for the assets of the entire 'Upper Valley Town'. But this town doesn't just belong to the few leading people in front of you, they are just the best of the wealth. With the net worth of several of them, it is not easy to withdraw 3,000-4,000 gold coins at one time.

"Don't worry! We will choose the gold voucher of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce Church as the means of payment. The old mayor stroked his beard again, "Although we don't have that much cash on hand right now. But with our net worth and credibility, it is not too difficult to borrow 1,500-2,000 gold coins from the church temporarily. ”

Barrett, who got the answer he wanted, nodded: "So when can you trade?" We're here to supply it at any time. ”

"If you're in a hurry, we'll go and prepare right now." Now that the deal has been negotiated. The attitude of the whitebearded mayor in front of him has also changed a lot for the better - of course, most of this is due to the special status of Clematis.

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person, since the other party's attitude is good, Barrett naturally doesn't plan to make things difficult: "We are guests and hosts, you just need to be ready in the next few days." ”

"Then tomorrow morning we will officially trade. The location will still be here. The whitebearded mayor immediately responded to Barrett's kindness.

Wait until after the negotiations are over. Barrett, who walked out of the gate of the town hall, immediately instructed Clematis: "Wait and store our war horses and goods that cannot be put into another dimensional space in the temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce'." I don't want them to have any problems before they leave Upper Creek Vale. ”

"Barrett, are you worried about what those guys are playing behind their backs?" Hearing this, Clematis's face immediately sank.

Then Barrett shook his head: "No! Now that the negotiations have been completed, those few people generally do not make any small moves. Not to mention that they are also considered to be the leading figures in 'Upper Valley Town', they still have to talk about some face. The mere reason for having a family and a room will not offend us in vain. I'm worried about the underworld forces and other adventurers in Upper Valley Town. ”

"You mean our wealth has been exposed?" Clematis who heard the voice. It immediately became clear what was going on.

Barrett nodded: "Do you think those people in the town hall don't have big mouths in their homes?" I don't think even when the sun goes down, there will be seven or eight plausible versions of 'Upper Canyon Town'. What's more, our previous actions were not deliberately hidden, and when the time comes, the money will be moving, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no risk. Therefore, the cost of choosing to go to the temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' is not small. But it can solve a lot of troubles. On the whole, it is still very favorable. ”

"In that case, I'm going to deal with the parishioners here now." Klaimatis patted his chest with confidence.

Just like the Whitebeard Mayor remembers, the attitude of the local 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' temple towards the 'Golden-Eyed Emissary' can really be called 'polite and courteous'. Not only did they agree to store their goods, but they also offered to invite players to stay in the temple.

Barrett, who understood that this would save a lot of trouble, ignored the protests of the noodles and went straight to the 'Passion Fire' hotel to check out. Although this lost some of the deposit, and made the barmaid not give a good face before he left. But compared to the convenience obtained. It's just a drizzle.

…………

"You say this shield is only worth 2 gold? No, no, no, this thing is worth at least 3 gold. Although there are some scratches on the shield, this is only a little ugly, and it does not affect its usefulness......" The mouth of the noodle wielding the shield in his hand splattered everywhere.

From the beginning of the transaction, such a war of words was indispensable in the town office, and at the most intense time, the two sides even engaged in a tug-of-war one copper coin after another. Although the sales standard of 50 to 70 percent was set at the beginning, there were still differences of opinion between the two sides on the specific amount of discount.

Only the set of magic equipment and the corresponding identity military card, the other party did not bargain at all and directly bought it with 3,000 gold coins. The boldness of this display was indeed a little surprising to the players. Because the behavior of spending money to buy military merits is already an unspoken rule in the middle and lower classes in the south. They prefer to choose this less dangerous way than to fight on the front line in person.

The armor and sword that originally belonged to the Raider Captain had a special imprint on it that proved its identity. This, combined with his own military badges, is the perfect proof of a kill - in fact, it is far more difficult to get these without killing the opponent than it is to kill him.

Such a trophy that is both practical and symbolic. Naturally, it will be able to bring huge rewards to the leaders in Upper Valley - of course, for players who are about to go north, this reward is all things they don't need. It's nice to be able to sell them for a high price here.

Of course, the rest of the sporadic loot is much cheaper than the three-piece set. If it weren't for the two Refined Weapons, the total transaction amount wouldn't even exceed the 100 gold mark. In the end, when the other party handed over 3 gold coupons of 1000 gold coins, 4 gold coupons of 100 gold coins, and 83 gold coins to Clematis, this person's face was full of smiles.

The players who completed the transaction finally went to a serious illness. Barrett, who was in a good mood, borrowed the kitchen in the temple to prepare an unusually sumptuous meal for his companions. Although it is a small place like 'Upper Valley Town', there are only a lot of ingredients that can be purchased. But under Barrett's skillful concoction, it still made the corners of several mouths watery. The most typical are the freshwater fish with a lot of bones, which Barrett has beaten into fish balls. It was only then that the players were able to solve the problem that the players were not good at eating spiny fish - but the time it took was the sea.

In addition to food and drink, players are not without other gains in Upper Valley Town. For example, Rielly got a few spell scrolls that were rare in the past. These scrolls are not the usual parchment or alchemical paper. Instead, it's branded on a special kind of leather—obviously not the usual storage method chosen by arcane spellcasters.

Because the arcane spellcaster in this town is not the usual spell or warlock, but the wizard that the player has encountered before. That's why the scrolls he produces are so rare.

One of these spells is called 'Shared Summoning Mount'. This 2-ring arcane can work like a summoning mount, but the user can summon up to 6 light ponies or ponies, and he can then assign the spell duration to each summon in 2-hour increments. If it can be learned, it can be a good addition to Rielly, who is currently strapped for spell slots.

The other spell is the alternative 'Twilight Dust', which also belongs to the 2nd Ring, which can summon a purple-black cloud of smoke to pour down. It then attaches to torches, lanterns, rods, or any non-magical light source to extinguish it, and dispels any magical light source caused by a secondary or lower spell within a 10-foot radius (as if disarming magic). At the same time, creatures within this radius will fall into a state of fatigue unless they pass a tenacity test. It can be regarded as a control spell suitable for special occasions. (To be continued.) )
