Chapter 168: A Strong Foundation III
Rollin was stunned by the dwarf Emero, and then he shook his head very frankly and refused: "I'm afraid not." β
This is the mine in his territory, and these days he sent someone to investigate it, and determined that it was indeed a sapphire mine, but the reserves were not much, but fortunately, the value of sapphire was precious, so a rough estimate that the value of this mine should be worth 100,000 gold coins.
This wealth is not much, but when this news spreads, it is easy to spread falsely, especially the sapphire mine, which is particularly easy to attract attention and give birth to unnecessary disasters. So of course he didn't want people to know.
And his character doesn't like to hide it, so he refuses simply.
Emoro was immediately upset when he was so refused, and muttered his displeasure, but his voice was too soft and fast, and he was still in dwarven language, so that no one could hear what he was saying.
Seeing Emero's gaffe, the dwarven prince Mosius hurriedly apologized: "Master Emero is a straight-tempered man, he is really drunk and sober now, I apologize to you for his offense." β
Luo Lin smiled and waved his hand, not minding: "It's okay, I appreciate the temperament of such a master." But I want to know, Master, why do you want to explore the mines? β
Master Emero's face was still full of displeasure, and he snorted when he heard this, but he still said the reason: "The place where Terenira stays must be accompanied by a precious mine. I looked at the skin of this Terenira, which was tough and had a deep blue sheen. I didn't have to go in to see it to know there must be ...... inside."
"Cough~cough~" The dwarf prince coughed hurriedly. Keep glancing, trying to stop Emoro from babbling, they know it. But this matter can't be said in public, the wealth is moving, if this is spread out, it will definitely cause trouble for this Lord Rollin, then whether they can get out of this hall today is a question, and the other party may be shut!
But Master Emero was really drunk, and he didn't hear the dwarven prince's reminder at all. "There must be a blue gold mine in this, and blue gold is an associated mine. Sergein on one side and sapphires on the other, very, very precious, Lord Rollin. You're in good luck. β
After he finished speaking, he felt that the atmosphere around him was not quite right, and he saw that Rollin was looking at him with a smile, and the face of Prince Mosius on the side was already cloudy, but the hand of the dwarven guard captain was already pressed on the hilt of the sword, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Lord Rollin, we have no intention of getting your hands on your wealth." The dwarven prince made a promise at once, and although he knew it was very weak, he hoped that things would turn some way.
Rollin gently turned the glass in his hand. Looking at the dwarves sitting on both sides of the long table as if facing a great enemy, he smiled meaningfully: "I have to say, Master Elomo's knowledge is really profound. β
"Huh." Emolo snorted with a dry laugh. He's come back to his senses and knows he's in trouble this time.
"Lord ......"
Prince Mosius wanted to speak, but was stopped by Rollin's outstretched hand, and he smiled: "You have too many mouths, especially this master smith. You know, talking too much is not a good habit. In that case, how can I let you go with confidence? β
"Poof!" The sound of a sword unsheathed. The captain of the dwarven guard had a solemn face, the situation was very bad now, this human lord had hidden murderous intentions in his words, he had decided to kill a big fight, even if he tried his last drop of blood, he would escort the prince out of this basin.
Seeing him like this, Luo Lin smiled again, his face was as usual, and he cut a piece of meat and ate it: "Mosius, I can see that you have a noble status in the dwarf clan, so of course I won't use the sword, you can rest assured." Hmm~ Let your guards put away their swords, we're still enjoying our meal. β
As soon as these words came out, the dwarves breathed a sigh of relief.
Rollin's tone changed again: "However, I'm also distressed, you know, I'm always worried about a big mouth like Master Emero walking around, it will cause me a lot of trouble. Don't be angry, I trust the integrity of you dwarves, you have endless wealth in the mountains, and of course you will not look at my little mine, but I am worried about my greedy kindred. β
Rollin looked distressed.
"And what do you want to do?" Mosius asked. He could understand Rollin's concerns, the human race was a huge race, there were too many of them, there were all of them, and there was a lack of materials, most of the people were relatively poor, and there were many humans who dared to do anything for gold, including those lords.
At this point, he regretted bringing Emolo over, this big mouth always caused him trouble.
"Look at this. This mine is a trouble, I don't want it, I will leave it to you dwarves to mine, but the premise is that you have to pay me 150,000 gold coins, and you have to pay it all at once, how about it? Rollin asked.
Recently, he has built a territory and trained soldiers, and the expenses are very large, which can be said to be a day to fight gold, although now the shape has been stabilized, and the expenses are much less, but his gold coins are really not much, only 20,000 are left, and he has to think about open source.
I was worried, and I didn't want to catch such a reason today.
He can mine the mine by himself, but it takes time and effort to open the mine, so it is better to let this group of dwarves do the work, and earn a living income for himself.
As for offending the dwarf, he also thought about it, it was a little offended, but when he passed this level, this little thing could be made up for later, it didn't matter.
"We've got to take a look at the mine first." Mosius hesitated a little, 150,000 gold coins is not a small amount, even for a rich dwarf, it is a lot of money, and the other party is so generous to transfer the mine, it is estimated that there is not much mine left in this cave, and it is definitely not worth 150,000.
It's certainly a loss-making deal.
"Dang Chang" Rollin threw a stone on the long table, it was the sapphire found in the mine: "This is a gem from the mine, how about it, it's very good, right?" β
Master Emoro immediately took the gem and looked at it carefully, and his eyes soon lit up: "Immaculate, haha, I guessed right." Sure enough, it is a blue gold mine, and it is a high-quality blue gold mine, otherwise it would not be such a pure gemstone. Morsius, let's buy it, maybe there's another Terenyra in there. β
Mosius was originally a little angry with Emolo. Hearing his words, he instinctively wanted to scold, but the last sentence touched his mind: 'Yes. Maybe there's another Treenira in the mine, and if you find one more, the deal will be a big deal today. β
As for the refusal, Mosius didn't even think about it, and now it is very obvious that this lord must make them responsible for his own safety. So it's not a fair trade anymore. There is no point in refusing to buy a mine, the problem is the price.
Come to think of it. Mosius nodded: "Okay, then deal." β
"You're such a happy man. That way, you can have your guards go back and deliver the letter, while the gold is coming. You're here with me. Rollin smiled, but what he said was not negotiable.
People were under the eaves, and Mosius had no choice, so he nodded and said, "Yes." β
Although he has agreed now, Mosius is not a weak character, he will buy the mine, but the price will be pushed down.
The messenger will return to deliver the letter, and father will surely send a powerful warrior to meet him, when the time comes. In the face of the hundreds of warriors of this small knight leader, they have the confidence to bargain.
Thinking of this, the dwarven prince's face softened.
"Hahaha. Today I'm happy, come, Nalosha, come here. Rollin shouted.
As soon as Luo Lin's words fell, the snake demon who had been guarding his side arrived. As soon as she appeared, the dwarves were stunned.
"Your Highness. This snake demon is very, very powerful! The captain of the guard said softly, with horror on his face.
"How strong?" Mosius was also taken aback.
"I feel. She can kill us all in ten seconds, the snake demon is proficient in archery, especially the six-armed snake demon, one person can send out a dense rain of arrows, very terrifying! "The dwarves have no prejudice against the six-armed bassilis, all they see is the power of the basilisk.
Mosius gasped, seeing that Rollin's gaze had a new change, he faintly felt that his previous plan seemed to be a little unworkable, this lord was not simple.
"Master, what are your orders?" Narosa said.
"Go, call Lufi and Selena over, and say that we have a dwarven guest here. Uh, if Luphy is busy, forget it. But Selena must come over. Rollin commanded.
Since he made a coercion today, he naturally has to be backed up by corresponding force, otherwise it will make people laugh in vain. Although Selena was reluctant to deal with him, outsiders didn't know about it, so she just took advantage of her situation.
"Yes, master." Narosa went to find someone.
After a while, Selena arrived, her face was originally a little impatient, but when she saw that Rollin was meeting guests, out of the psychology of saving him some face, she put away the impatience on her face, bowed slightly to Rollin, and asked, "Lord, do you have something to do with me?" β
The captain of the dwarven guard became more and more surprised, and he lowered his head and whispered to Mosius, "Your Highness, this woman is unfathomable. In her, I feel a similar aura to the King of the Hill, she is stronger than the basilis! β
"What?" Mo Hughes couldn't help but be surprised, how could there be so many masters in this small jazz collar.
Rollin didn't hear the dwarf's conversation, but when he saw the surprise on the face of a certain Hughes, he didn't say much, and said a few words to Selena, which were nothing more than some inconsequential words of concern, and then took advantage of Selena's confusion to quickly send her away.
After a long time, when she reacts, she can't borrow it.
Selena left in a daze, and Rollin raised a glass to the dwarven prince again: "Mosius, for our cooperation and friendship, cheers." β
At this time, Mo Hughes was already smiling wryly.
He knew that his previous abacus had completely failed, yes, his father could send a master to help him lower the price of the mine, but the other party also had a terrible master, one said it was not good, and if it started, it would definitely be the result of losing both, for the sake of tens of thousands of gold coins, why risk losing the master in the clan?
Although he thought so, his chest was still a little stuffy, he raised his glass and let out a long breath: "Lord Rollin, you are really not a simple person. In the near future, I'm afraid the lord of VendΓ΄me will have to pay attention to you as well. β
There was a thorn in the words, but Rollin smiled and didn't care.
Yes, in the near future, the orcs will invade, and he and his cavalry, regardless of whether the result is victory or death, will not only make the lord pay attention, but shock the continent! (To be continued)
