Chapter 777: Trading the Market Plane
Jack said, "The title of Captain was given to me when I was on an adventure in the Water Elemental Plane, when I had a ship"
I said, "You've been on the water elemental plane for a long time."
Jack said, "Thirty years. ”
I laughed, "That's really an experienced old captain." ”
"By the way, tell me the price cap for Stellar Chips." ”
I said, "According to the market, if it is about 330 gold coins, it can be relaxed to about 3560, in short, buy 10 first." ”
"Okay," said Jack, "please try not to speak, if they realize that you are the master, they will deliberately increase the price." ”
I said, "Okay. ”
Walking along the obviously low and narrow alleys, I didn't see any tall buildings at all, but I still saw a few stone towers up and down fifty meters, which didn't seem to be mage towers, but they also had the function of monitoring and defense. There are also a few forts that are a little more imposing than the iron-walled forts, and a few camps full of tents.
The market is a magnified Santas city, or rather, an iron fortress.
Soon, we arrived at the place that specializes in Star Chips.
To be honest, the house is not big, and it is even a bit shabby.
The main hall door wasn't as big as my study door.
The doorway was guarded by a tall warrior in human armor.
I say I am tall, but in fact it is less than two meters, and my height is two meters three or six.
The human, who was much shorter than me, held out his weapon to stop me as Jack entered.
"Bodyguards and servants are not allowed in," the man said.
"Why" I was about to speak, but Jack quickly turned back and asked, "What is this rule?"
The man said, "Just changed the rules, because there was a burglary this morning."
"Is this the opinion of the Permeada Chamber of Commerce or the decision of your store manager," Jack simply stepped back and looked directly at the gatekeeper.
"I don't know." The man replied with some irrelevance, "I'm just doing what I'm told, please don't embarrass me, we still have a dozen brothers on duty together." ”
"I'm going to see the manager of Salalin," said Jack, "I have a big deal here, if the manager of Salalin is not available, I'll go to the Kaida Chamber of Commerce."
The man looked at Jack's clothes and said; "Then, please wait a minute, I'll call someone to report it."
He yelled inside, and a dwarf human about 1.8 meters old ran in.
After a while, a female human mage came out.
When she saw Jack, she was a little surprised, "Sparrow, it's you"
Jack said, "Salalin, what does this mean that there was no such rule last time, and the rules of your Permeada Chamber of Commerce are to change all day long?"
Salalin glanced at me quickly, as if he had realized the relationship between me and Jack, and said, "I'm sorry, this is a new order from the headquarters, the new president has announced that the store will not accept any race except humans, not even elves or dragons."
Leo said, "Well, such a manic organization, it's basically a plot arrangement waiting to be defeated, and it's quite quick to make enemies." ”
Jack said, "You know the situation with our Santas, it seems that Persomeda is not in the business of thinking about us anymore. ”
Salalyn hurriedly said, "Don't do this, old friend, I promise to give you the right price, and yours, this companion"
She looked at me again, smiled a little awkwardly but politely, and said, "I can introduce you to a batch of special materials." ”
"Yes," said Jack, "something."
Salalin said "black copper wood for warriors"
Jack's eyes lit up, "So, how many?"
Salalin said, "About five hundred gold coins." ”
I signaled with my eyes that I wanted to buy it, and Jack said, "Okay, I won't go to the Kaida Chamber of Commerce, I want this black copper wood, and ten star fragments." ”
"Ten" Salalin took a breath, then a smile appeared on his face, and he smiled at me sincerely, and said, "That's great, well, ten, I will charge you three thousand three hundred at the original price, plus three thousand eight hundred black copper wood, and with my store manager's privilege, I will only charge you three thousand five hundred." ”
Jack said, "Is our twenty-year old friendship worth this money?"
Salalin showed a painful expression, "Don't be like this, you know the market, I have already given you the best price." ”
Jack frowned and said, "It seems that you are really going to drive me to the Kaida Chamber of Commerce." ”
Salalin's face was suddenly full of grievances; "Don't do that, Sparrow"
Jack said "Well, I kind of get it, you're not the Salalin I know now, you're just a store manager in Permeda"
Leo said with great disgust: "Why did you suddenly jump out, two actors who obviously have one leg steal the scene, you have to say something."
I said, "These two people are very interesting, don't you see that even the janitors are watching the fun?"
Salalin says "Jack, please"
Jack says "I'm still used to you calling me Sparrow"
"It's too pompous," Leo wailed, "I'm going to throw up, you're talking too much."
I had to say, "Greece Jack, let's go."
I didn't finish my bad, and the janitor suddenly said; "There's no place for you to speak"
I was stunned for a moment, and was about to fight back, when Salalin's face suddenly changed, and he said to him hatefully: "There is no part for you to talk here, don't you see me discussing with the guests, if I lose this business, you will have to work in the headquarters for fifty years to pay it off"
The janitor suddenly said "I'm sorry, ma'am"
Salalin says "sorry to my guests"
The janitor was a little reluctant, but still said "Sorry, Mr. Sparrow"
"No, it's this one," Salalin pointed at me, "this one." ”
I said, "I'm Lord Jack's bodyguard." ”
"Yes, Mr. Bodyguard," Salalin said, "apologies to him"
At this moment, the janitor was a little out of action, but under the authority of Salalin, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth with a face full of disbelief, "I'm sorry, bodyguard, sir"
I said, "I don't see people who don't matter. ”
The janitor was in another burst of anger and had nowhere to vent it.
Jack touched his chin and hesitated for a moment, saying "So, so be it"
"Great," Salalin said with an exaggerated expression, "Let's go, celebrate, our twenty years of friendship have stood the test"
"No," said Jack, "I have to go back on business, and Lord Frank and Ben are looking at this month's turnover, and I have to go and get ready." ”
"Oh," Salalin was a little disappointed, "are you avoiding me, come to me if you want to buy cheap goods, and run away when you're done"
"I'd like to drink the strange dew another day," Jack said quickly.
Leo said, "Hurry up, go away, it's too tired, I can't stand it"
The clerk brought the bag, Jack checked it himself, handed it to me, and was about to leave after paying the money.
Salalin also "reluctantly" said, "Say okay, please me, don't let me pay for it"
Jack said in a panic; "I'll let the owl inform you, in three days"
As he spoke, he ran away for his life.
I nodded at Salalin and walked away.
"Huh" Leo said, "There are quite a lot of plays"
I was about to speak, but I heard Salalin say to himself, "You can even see the bull's head, how long are you going to pretend to be stupid?"
"Hey" Leo looked like someone had stepped on him.
I looked back again.
Salalin was stunned for a moment, and I smiled at her, and her face froze, and then she stamped her foot in annoyance and left.
"I remember," Leo said suddenly, "That, Pirates of the Caribbean, by the way, Captain Jack's old love seems to be called Gilika, hey, I almost resigned myself to the elf big beauty, what is the identity of this Salalin, I have an interesting plan"
I followed Jack's footsteps and asked, "What's the price of that Kaida Chamber of Commerce." ”
When Jack saw that Salalin had returned, he said, "It will cost more than three thousand five hundred, and I don't bring black paulownia wood." ”
I say; "Then you have to go to the appointment"
Jack smiled wryly, "I'm fifty-three."
I said, "You look like you're thirty, and Santas doesn't have any drugs to make people younger, what are you worried about?"
Jack said, "I didn't mean that, well, sorry, please don't mention this to anyone else, okay?"
I said, "Yes, but I have a question." ”
"Please," said Jack.
"Just know, I have a shop in Santas." I say.
"It's two," said Jack, "I've been to both of the luxurious Otherworldly Food House in a joint venture with the Ann Trusteeship, and the Otherworldly Food House in the civilian market, and they're quite novel." ”
I said, "How about moving that food here?"
"It's not impossible," said Jack, "but the variety tastes are a bit unexpected, but it's mostly humans here, and the human flavors are more popular, so I guess business won't be too good, and if it's our Santas name, there will be fewer customers." ”
I said, "It seems that Santas is a little underappreciated in this plane." ”
Jack said, "We mainly deal in common goods, at most some elven specialties, and these specialties, the output of the Hill Federation is larger than ours, and it does not compete with us. ”
I said, "Then I'm going to open up my own situation, I'm thinking, to open my point here, not in the name of Santas, but in the name of Persimeda or some other chamber of commerce." ”
"It's hard," Jack shook his head, "Permeda is adamantly rejecting humans and elves, and the Kaida Chamber of Commerce doesn't care much about race, but the fees are higher, and there's no profit to be made by working with them." ”
I said, "Well, what about in the name of Salaline"
