Chapter 0280 - Something Bad Happened
Röm was going to cry and faint in Wizard Jason's arms. But when he heard the request of 'buy goods', he regained his strength, stood up with a swish, and looked directly at the other party.
Wizard Jason is usually wild and uninhibited, but now he has a loyal face, smiling like an old peasant. He patted Rohm on the shoulder, "This time it's too big, you have to take the lead." Otherwise, if it explodes, you're absolutely doomed. ”
Röm took a breath and came to his senses, straightening out his messy robes, and wiping away the tears that were almost flying from the corners of his eyes. He hated how he had been weakened just now, called the servant to bring two cups of black tea, and sat down slowly.
Wizard Jason took the black tea from the servant's hand, and no longer served it, but still sat down beside Roma solemnly, and whispered, "I have already found out, this incident is really because of you." Judging by the reaction just now, you definitely have ghosts, so you must be responsible. ”
Rohm almost blew his beard and glared, but he didn't want to offend the other party too much. But he was really frightened enough just now, and he asked angrily, "What happened?" You're going to run like this to scare me. ”
"Didn't you hear that someone bought magic materials at a premium of fifty percent? I happen to know a couple of directors in charge of magical materials in the city. When Jason said this, he suddenly complained loudly: "You also know, now it's time to prepare for the war, and everything is rising." ::
The merchants of the south took advantage of us, raising the price of grain and suppressing the materials we were selling. In the past two months, the prices of timber and ore in the north have been reduced by 20 percent, but the price of grain has been increased by 50 percent.
Our food in the north is already very expensive, and it is too much to raise the price by five percent. The wizard group in the city originally endured it, but the profiteers in the south actually set their eyes on the price of magic materials, which was unacceptable. ”
Rom secretly said with disdain in his heart: "It's not been a day or two since the price of food has risen, and I haven't seen the wizarding group come out to shout in the past." It's not that now the South has lowered the price of magic materials, and the interests of wizards have been damaged. ”
Many of the magic materials are unique to the Northlands. In addition to the remnants related to demons, there are also frequent lightning strikes in the Ice Fields Mountains, such as the calcium carbide produced in special environments is an excellent alchemy material. You can't see it anywhere else.
The wizarding group of Banshee Castle has relied on the power of the Fils family and has monopolized the business of magical materials in the Northlands in the past. The wizard tower cultivated by more than 30 wizards is as warm as spring, and the flowers bloom in all seasons, so they don't care about the crying and wailing of the outside world.
But the profiteers in the south are now buying at a low price, and the wizarding group including Jason is furious. They originally stocked up on a large number of magic materials, but now they are reluctant to sell them at a reduced price, just when they heard that there were people in the city who were actually scanning the goods at a premium.
The people of the wizarding group didn't have to think much about it at all, and Wizard Jason found it directly on Roma's head without much effort. He currently has a large amount of goods in hand, and he wants to get rid of it as soon as possible.
"Rom, I've always been nice to you. Okay, I don't care who you're acting for, but you have to buy my goods. Remember, you have to pay a 50% premium on the original price. I must not be allowed to lose money. ”
The laboratory was quiet, a few magic lamps were heating the alchemy reactor, and there was some bubbling sound. Wizard Jason also handed over his manifest, tapped his fingers on the table, and said solemnly: "This deal must not be at a loss. ”
The sound of banging on the table was stiff, and it seemed that this matter was non-negotiable. Roman, a little curious, glanced at the manifest. The material is nothing special. Looking at the number again, the Roma monster screamed, "So many? ”
Shhhh ”
"Where did you get that? I'm afraid that the warehouses of the Banshee Castle are not so much. There are tens of thousands of calcium carbides alone, which is almost equivalent to half a year's output in the north. ”
"Don't ask about this, it must be sold anyway, and it must be at a premium of 50 percent." Wizard Jason was resolute and didn't let up in the slightest.
Röhm took the manifest and thought about it and felt that something was wrong. He nodded in agreement, coaxed Wizard Jason away, and then sent his butler out to hear the news. At the same time, send someone to contact Seth and ask if the other party accepts magic materials.
Seth didn't get in touch for the time being, and the butler didn't know exactly what was going on, but after Wizard Jason got Roma's promise, he ran back in less than an hour, bringing five carts of hoarded goods.
This isn't food and cloth, it's magic material. A whole five cars, which is too much. Jason delivered the things and explained, "Rom, do it as soon as possible." I'll allow you to take credit but don't delay. ”
Röm was once again frightened enough, and he casually opened a cargo box, which contained the Northland's specialty 'Ice Bat Blood'. This thing must be kept in ice, and the crate alone is a valuable magical device.
Now Rohm finally realized the seriousness of the problem, "Where the hell did this bastard Jason get this stuff?" This is definitely not something he can do alone. Behind the scenes, I don't know who is secretly playing tricks. ”
After waiting anxiously for a long time, Rohm's butler also ran back with a panicked face and said anxiously: "I'm afraid something is really wrong." ”
The situation that the housekeeper said was quite fragmentary, although he did not find out the truth of the matter, but he could still guess the general situation from several sides.
Röm was shocked after hearing this, he knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to call the shots, and he had to pull Zhou Qingfeng, a tall man, out of the top. He went to look for Seth to report, but he couldn't believe the other party, so he had to find Zhou Qingfeng to explain it in person.
So before dark, the new wizard master of the Banshee Castle wizarding group took a carriage out of the city in a panic. When he arrived at the lumberyard outside the city, he relied on the light technique to illuminate the light one foot deep and one foot shallow, and fell several times before he saw the main owner.
Zhou Qingfeng was proud of his small talent plan, and when he saw Roma running in a panic, he was amused, "Your Excellency is also an official wizard, how did you make it look like you were fleeing?" ”
"We're in trouble." Rohm hurried a few steps, and pounced on him like Jason during the day, grabbed Zhou Qingfeng and shouted: "If this trouble is not solved, you will definitely suffer." ”
Zhou Qingfeng took a moment and greeted indifferently: "The city gates should be closed, and you can't go back." I'll ask the Servant to arrange a room for you to stay in. Something to say slowly,"
Rohm didn't have the heart to say slowly, he grabbed Zhou Qingfeng's sleeve and didn't let go, "You engaged in a premium acquisition, this time you really caused an accident." You have to work it out. ”
"Too much to collect?" Zhou Qingfeng was still unhurried, and replied with a smile: "I'll buy them all, as for being so panicked?" ”
"If it's just a lot of goods, it's better to leave it to you. But now there are more goods, some goods are less, and you have to count on them. If it is not handled well, the whole situation will be in chaos. ”
"What do you mean?" Zhou Qingfeng listened quietly.
Röhm gasped and said seriously: "The Fils family wants to continue to be the king of the Northlands, and recently they are digging people everywhere to buy off the lords of various places and ask them to swear allegiance to themselves.
There are two ways to buy, one is to purchase goods produced in various places at a high price, and the other is to sell grain and other materials at a low price. But now that you run out to stir up the situation, the Fils family can't do it.
Now it's time to take advantage of Louie. Fils hadn't noticed it yet, and quickly settled the matter. Otherwise, once it is traced," Rohm suddenly looked at Zhou Qingfeng, blinking his eyes and saying no words, really tracking down, the other party didn't seem to care.
Zhou Qingfeng smiled but said nothing.
