Early the next morning, Hu Ye left the village and set out for Baron Chagrin's castle. Villager Todd offered to lead the way, which saved him from getting lost.

Just before Hu Ye set off, Hammond pulled him to a place where no one was and asked cautiously, "My lord, do you really want a white amphibole?" ”

Hu Ye nodded and said, "Of course!" ”

Hammond hesitated for a moment, then finally made up his mind, "I'm willing to go to the mountains and dig up some white amphibole for you, but I must keep it a secret!" ”

Hu Ye said curiously: "Didn't the village chief of Rice say that the mining of white amphibole stone must first be allowed by the lord?" ”

"That's right." Hammond said in a deep voice: "You also knew last night, I have to pay a fine today, otherwise I will go to jail, so I can only fight." ”

Hu Ye then understood the reason why Hammond did this, in fact, Alina killed Robert and the others last night, and even threw the corpses near the gnolls' camp.

These guys will soon become jackals' poop and disappear from this world completely, and Hammond won't have to pay any fines at all.

However, of course, Hu Ye couldn't say this, but patted Hammond on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Okay, you go to mine white amphibole, I want as much as I want, I won't let you suffer!" ”

Hammond nodded vigorously and said, "I'll go now!" ”

At this time, Jeremy suddenly came out from behind a nearby tree and said, "I'll go too!" ”

Hammond was taken aback, and only after seeing clearly that it was Jeremy did he breathe a sigh of relief, frowned and said, "You don't have to pay a fine, what's the fun?" ”

Jeremy Zhengse said: "Lord Hu Ye saved my life, and I want to mine some white amphibole to repay him." ”

Hu Ye smiled: "Okay, you all go, I will buy as many as I want according to the market price." Be sure to be safe and don't let others know, though. ”

Hammond and Jeremy nodded and cautiously walked away.

And Hu Ye, led by Todd, went to Baron Chagrin's castle.

The village chief Rice was right, it takes half a day to walk from the village of White Rock to the castle. In the afternoon, the two finally arrived at the castle.

To Hu Ye's slight disappointment, the baron's castle was far worse than Dracula's. The tallest tower is only four stories high, covering no more than an acre of land, which is nothing more than a miniature castle by Hu Ye's standards.

However, Todd's opinion was obviously different from Hu Ye's, and he said with pride: "This is the lord's castle, magnificent, right?" ”

"Uh-huh, that's true!" Hu Ye casually perfunctory Todd, and secretly complained in his heart: "This castle is not yours, what a proud person!" ”

The castle is the residence of the lord, but not everyone can enter it. But in front of the castle, there is a small bazaar, which has a tavern and lodging services, and Hu Ye and Todd have settled here tonight.

Hu Ye planned to stay for one night first, and then go to the castle tomorrow to talk to the lord here about the acquisition of the white amphibole. Since the white amphibole was not very useful, Hu Ye felt that it was easy to reach an acquisition agreement with the lord.

Todd left the tavern the next morning, not knowing where he had gone.

Hu Ye didn't take this matter to heart, went directly to the castle, and said to the guards at the gate: "My name is Hu Ye, please tell Baron Chaglin that I have a big deal to negotiate with him, and I can bring him hundreds of gold coins every year!" ”

Before leaving Baishi Village, Hu Ye asked the village chief of Rice to learn about the currency of this world. One gold coin was enough for a peasant to live comfortably for more than half a year, and even for a baron who owned a territory, a few hundred gold coins was not a small amount.

So after listening to Hu Ye's words, the guard also showed surprise, looked at him and said, "Wait here, I'll report to the lord!" ”

The guards soon came back and asked Hu Ye with a straight face, "What did you just say your name?" ”

After hearing Hu Ye repeat his name, the guard nodded and said, "Come in with me, Lord Lord is waiting for you!" ”

Hu Ye followed the guards into the castle and found that it was darker and damper than he thought. Due to the limitations of the level of construction and materials, it is impossible for the stone castle to have many windows, which leads to many places in the castle not seeing sunlight all year round, making Hu Ye suspect that the lord who lives in it will definitely suffer from arthritis.

Hu Ye was taken to the castle hall to wait, and even on a good morning, there were many candles in the hall.

Baron Chaglin soon came to the hall, followed by two knights, as if they were facing a great enemy.

The baron stopped a dozen steps away from Hu Ye, looked at him from a distance, and said, "What deal do you want to negotiate with me?" ”

"I want to buy amphibole from the mountains near Baishi Village." Hu Ye said without being arrogant or humble: "As long as you send someone to dig it, Lord Lord, I will have as many as I want." ”

Baron Chaglin frowned and said, "White Stone...... I think that thing wasn't very useful, why do you want so much? ”

Hu Ye smiled slightly: "Lord Baron, you just need to provide me with the white flash stone, and I will give you a satisfactory reward, and don't worry about the rest." ”

A glint flashed in Baron Chaglin's eyes, but he still nodded lightly and said, "You have some truth in what you say, I can sell you the white amphibole, but the price...... Twenty-five copper coins per pound! ”

Hu Ye had just asked at the bazaar in the morning that the price of white amphibole was eight copper coins per pound. Baron Chaglin tripled the price as soon as he opened his mouth, and it seems that he is also a greedy fellow.

Knowing that he couldn't make the other party feel too generous, Hu Ye frowned and said, "This price is too high, I can only give ten copper coins per pound at most." ”

Chaglin immediately said he could not accept the price, and after some haggling, the two sides closed for fifteen copper coins per pound.

Although Cha Green was already very satisfied with this price, he still said to Hu Ye: "If you want me to send someone to mine leukolite, you have to pay a deposit first." ”

This request is also reasonable, Hu Ye took out the gold bars that had been prepared a long time ago from his pocket and said: "I was in a hurry when I came, and I didn't bring enough gold coins, this is a gold bar made of pure gold, which should be enough to pay the deposit." ”

Chagrin took the gold bar in disbelief, and immediately felt a heaviness in his palm, and he couldn't help but look happy. As a hereditary nobleman, he had certainly seen a lot of gold products, and he almost certainly had pure gold in his hands. Moreover, the gold bar is cast at a very high level, and the surface is as smooth as a mirror, which makes Chagrin secretly amazed.

Weighing the weight of the gold bar, Chaglin nodded and said, "I will arrange for the people to mine leukolite as soon as possible, and where will it be delivered?" ”

Hu Ye said: "I'll go back to Baishi Village and wait for your good news, and save you the trouble of transportation." ”

Chagrin agreed, and asked a knight to send Hu Ye out of the castle.

After Hu Ye left, Cha Green asked lightly, "Is he the one who beat the sheriff of Baishi Village?" ”

"My lord, that's right!" A person came out from behind, and it was Todd who brought Hu Ye to the castle.
