The environment inside the building, Drass had become accustomed to seeing so many things beyond his cognition, and he hugged the dragon scales tightly, which was unusually conspicuous among the merchants waiting together.

"It's not Deras, hey I'm here. It's me! Ral"

"Oh~ Isn't this Laer, long time no see, have you also received an invitation?"

In the bustling crowd and Delas greeted Laal from the same country, Lal is the eldest son of the family, but he took the initiative to give up his inheritance, and the second brother who took over the family gave this brother a lot of resources, so that now their family has been connected with the royal family, it can be said that Laar's business has been on the rise.

The two of them hugged each other through the crowd, and the acquaintance of the two men still had an adventure, at that time Dellas was only a small trader, and it was too dangerous for a caravan to go on the road alone, so he followed the usual method of most merchants, and followed other large caravans of fellow merchants, or formed a convoy with other small merchants. That time Draas followed Ral's caravan.

However, bad luck was unlucky, and an attack on the Lahr caravan implicated Dras. Drass and Ral were taken hostage to the bandits' camp at the same time, and the rest of the story is that the two escaped from the bandit camp through their own ingenuity, and found the garrison to report the location of the bandits' camp, and exterminated the bandits who were doing evil on this trade route.

"This... Aren't they dragon scales? How did you get such a valuable thing?"

"It's a long story."

Drass sighed as he propped up the dragon scales.

"Dras, do you want to give this to the master here? I suggest that you find a dwarf or a craftsman with long ears to make armor that will be more useful to you. ”

Ral's eyes were obviously much darker, the merchants of this world not only have to face the exploitation of the kingdom and the taxes of the family, but also have to risk danger at any time, there are bandits on the land and pirates on the sea. Ral and Derras have lost many of their friends and henchmen over the years.

"No, I originally brought a devil whale's magic stone, but I met a giant dragon on the way, and the dragon exchanged this scale for my magic stone."

"Oh, do you mean the beautiful woman named Adlicia?"

"Do you know?"

"Speaking of which, is this your first time in Ryugu City?"

Ral was a little surprised, and according to his image Ridras was a guy with a very keen sense of business smell.

"Alas. You know that there was originally a city near Dinecol called Windcliff Castle. Among the knights of the kingdom's counterattack was my eldest brother, who was unable to find the corpse in that battle. ”

"Is there a struggle for inheritance in the family?"

"Yes, after receiving my eldest brother's obituary, I immediately noticed that things were going bad, so I said goodbye to my sick father, bought three merchant ships, and went to the archipelago of Long-Eared Ones, which lasted for two years."

"Well, you've had a hard time, but let's leave it behind when you get here. I have purchased a property in Ryuko. I suggest you do the same. Today's dinner is actually a selection. Oh, here comes the elevator. I'll talk to you when I get there. ”

Lal hooked Dras's neck, stroked his beard, and walked into the sightseeing elevator together. When the number of people entered, the elevator doors closed and began to rise slowly, and as the elevator went up, Dras was once again amazed. Looking through the glass of the sightseeing elevator, looking at the place where he came, and the attendants on both sides of the red carpet road gradually became like ants, and Dras sat on the ground.

Ral looked at Drass and laughed, this was not to laugh at Dras, there were not many people who were also paralyzed on the ground, they had never been to such a high place in their lives, not to mention that there was a completely transparent floor under their feet. Ral didn't really want Dellas to know that he had even peed his pants when he first came.

When the light above the elevator door reached 250, the elevator finally stopped. With Lal's support, Dras stepped onto the reassuring floor, greeted by extravagant décor and daylight lighting. The entire top floor has been converted into a bar-like place. Stepping out of the elevator makes you feel as if you have just stepped out of the bedroom into the living room. On the left-hand side is the pathway. The spacious room is covered by a large transparent glass that clearly tops the building.

What makes Derras feel incredible is that there is even a huge swimming pool and artificial beach built on top of this building. Women of many ethnicities frolicked in the pool. And those famous businessmen also stood beside the pool, holding glass cups aloft and drinking and talking.

"Ral, this way."

At a table not far from the door, a man dressed in clothes similar to the waiter greeted Ral, but the man was not a human, but a branch of the Panda tribe, the Pandas.

"Oh, thank you so much, Ciri."

"This man, don't blame me for speaking directly, your clothes are too untrendy. Ral, you're a classicist, forget it. Why don't you teach newcomers? It's a party that comes once every six months. ”

"I also met him by accident, the two of us have lived and died together, it was my fault, I punished myself for drinking three times hahaha."

Ral snapped his fingers lightly, and immediately an attendant came from the side with a plate of wine. Dras stared at the goblet on the wine plate, a triangular glass containing a bright red liquid, with an elongated grip and a base attached underneath. Such an intricate design and workmanship is something that Dellas has never seen before, and if this kind of cup spreads to the market, even a kingdom gold coin will definitely be snapped up. No, this kind of thing will inevitably enter the national auction.

"Dras, don't stare at the cup. I know what you're thinking, you must be trying to bring such a cup to the market, but I'd better warn you if you're just looking at the old kind of peddler's thinking. Then you won't get the favor of the owner here. ”

"Listen to me". Dellas retracted his eyes, the competition that the businessman saw was very fierce, Lal and himself were lifelong friends, but they still would not be soft in business, and now he was willing to say a few words to himself, so seizing the opportunity was his best choice.

"I don't know the owner's search criteria here, but as you can see, most of these people who are partying here are going to be eliminated. The first thing you feel like you've entered is heaven. But at the same time it is hell. If you succeed, it will become a place of home in the future, and if you fail, you will go back to the old days of eating and sleeping in the open. But anyone who has experienced this kind of luxury will not be willing to go back to that era, and these people who go back are destined to be eliminated by time. ”

Ral drained the glass and smiled at Dras:

"Good luck, Dras. It's time for us old people to step away. ”

"Good luck, newcomer!" Ciri also gave her blessing as is customary. He walked into the elevator behind Dras, leaving him standing in the crowd with a bewildered expression.
