Chapter 31: Low-level magic stones
The five potions were finally sold for 500,000 UBS.
In the kingdom of Rick, this money is enough to buy a small manor.
Of course, it is naturally impossible to save so much money in a mere alchemy workshop. One hundred thousand UBS is already the entire liquidity of this alchemy workshop. Facing Jiang Feng, who insisted on 500,000 yuan and did not let go of his mouth and did not accept IOUs, the old man gritted his teeth and turned around and walked into the warehouse.
When he came back again, he had an extra wooden box in his hand.
"Low-level magic stone...... In the Kadiran Empire, this thing is definitely worth 400,000 silver coins, maybe a little more. The old man's eyes were full of reluctance, but he still brought this thing to Jiang Feng's face, "One hundred thousand UBS plus this magic stone, if you agree, this deal will be established." ”
Looking at the thumb-sized irregular stone in the wooden box, a look of interest appeared in Jiang Feng's eyes.
From this magic stone, he saw a stardust content far beyond the crystallization of those creatures. However, it was not only this that interested him the most, from the unstable energy field, he saw the mysterious energy that resides on this stone.
As research material, this thing is worth more than the half million UBS, which intrigues him.
"Deal."
Seeing that Jiang Feng finally nodded, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.
100,000 silver coins, refined into pure silver, must weigh a ton, if you use a sack, you have to have a few bags of hemp to drag away, naturally it is impossible to pay metal money directly.
The old man took out a note from the hidden compartment of the counter, wrote it carefully with a quill for a long time, and finally picked up the seal, stamped it with beeswax, and handed it to Jiang Feng.
"In the vault of the port of Sevet, with this slip, one hundred thousand UBS can be withdrawn from the account of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce."
Just like the goods deposited in the port, a commercial port such as the port of Sevit naturally has a place to store the currency of various countries. After all, in the trade of bulk commodities, it is impossible to carry dozens of sacks of silver coins, and then it would take several mornings just to count the money.
Bulk commodity transactions within the port are usually done by both parties through paper receipts. This kind of slip can be used in the trading hall of the port to complete the transfer of funds between accounts.
Of course, this kind of transaction is limited to the port, limited by the speed of information dissemination and the level of financial technology, the flow of funds between ports still has to rely on merchant ships to transport metal currency. That is, the silver coins deposited in the vault of Port Sevit cannot be withdrawn from the royal capital of the kingdom of Rick.
Accepting this slip, Jiang Feng did not doubt it.
Deceiving wizards?
The joke is funny.
Not to mention a mere alchemist.
Even the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce behind him definitely didn't have that guts.
With his head down, he sent Jiang Feng away, and it wasn't until Jiang Feng walked out of the door for a long time that the old man raised his buried head.
Looking at the wooden box on the table, and the five healing potions in the wooden box, the old man took a deep breath, stretched out his dry fingers to clasp it, and quickly put it into the hidden compartment under the counter, then walked to the door and hung up the sign that it was closed, and turned back to the warehouse behind the workshop.
He now needed to write a letter and send it back to the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters......
……
The mechanism of action of this healing agent mainly comes from an active cell that can quickly repair damaged tissues, which was first discovered by the exploration ship of the Earth Federation in a fungal organism on a terrestrial planet, and later prepared on a large scale by means of bioengineering.
The culture medium in the medical chamber contains this ingredient, and it is not very difficult to make. The only thing is that it is more troublesome, and this delicate active cell is extremely picky about the environmental requirements during the growth period...... However, after entering the maturity stage, there is not so much trouble.
With the low-level magic stone and the check for 100,000 UBS, Jiang Feng first went to the transaction notary office at the port, first opened an account for himself, and then transferred the 100,000 silver coins from the account of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce to his own account.
With the start-up capital of 100,000 UBS, I believe that there should be no problem with the materials needed to build the Samun tribe.
After withdrawing dozens of silver coins as change and taking them with him, Jiang Feng saw that it was almost lunch time, so he turned around and went to a tavern not far away.
If there's one place in Port Sevet that's the liveliest, it's undoubtedly the taverns.
In this age of lack of entertainment, there are few things other than alcohol that bring people from all walks of life together.
Bards from afar, playing accordion-like instruments and singing unknown ballads in foreign languages. The sailors who passed by the convoy chatted about the legends of the sea to the longing children, or gambled the silver coins they had earned with their lives at the wine table. Occasionally, residents of Port Sevit come here after a long day of work to relax and listen to stories from far away.
And for Jiang Feng, this is a good intelligence distribution center.
"A glass of ale, a piece of brown bread, and ...... A cadillon sausage. After ordering three random things according to the menu, Jiang Feng put the two silver coins on the table.
"Yes sir."
Picking up the two silver coins from the table, the boy with curly hair took out a few copper coins the size of buttons from under the table and skillfully found Jiang Feng with change.
Soon, wooden pallets of beer, bread, and sausages were on the counter. Glancing at Xiao Bai, who was salivating over the sausage, Jiang Feng was slightly stunned, then took out a few silver coins and threw them on the table, ordering a plate of roast crocodile meat for five people......
Finding a place near the center of the tavern and sitting down, Jiang Feng asked Zhi Brain to collect and summarize the information he heard, and then began to eat his lunch slowly. Compared to the food in the Governor's Palace, the food here can only be described as rough, but he didn't care, after all, if he really wanted to pay attention to deliciousness, even the food served at the banquet in the Governor's Palace last night could only be regarded as ordinary in his eyes.
Xiaobai, on the other hand, feasted on that large piece of roasted crocodile meat, without caring about the taste of the food.
From the conversations of these sailors, Jiang Feng focused on the news about the inhabitants of the forest, that is, the half-elves, and the whereabouts of the legendary academy that cultivated orthodox wizards. However, to his slight disappointment, most of the topics discussed by the sailors were focused on the War of the Succession of the Rick Kingdom, the war between the Kadiren Empire and the northern nomads, or the pretty chick of the port......
"I heard that a groom died in the baron's house."
The fork in his hand paused slightly, and Jiang Feng heard the news that interested him.
"Dead? That old Nohan? How did he die? ”
"Why is there no news at all?"
"After all, people die in the Governor's manor, and that's the way they die...... It should be blocked messages. ”
"And how do you know?"
"I happened to be on duty in a nearby street that night," facing the suspicious eyes of the drinkers around him, the man probably drank too much, forgot about the secret, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "I'll tell you a secret, don't go around talking nonsense." ”
"What the hell, say it quickly."
"Don't sell it."
"I've invited you for this glass of wine, hurry up and don't ink."
"Old Nohan had his eyes gouged out, he was nailed to bed, his right arm was cut off, and much more...... The assailant also wrote this symbol on the wall with the blood of Old Nohan...... "Dipping his finger in the wine, the man mysteriously drew two circles and two vertical lines on the table......
Looking at this symbol, the people who approached the past looked confused, and only a man dressed as a hunter exclaimed in surprise when he saw this pattern.
"I also overheard from those pointy ears, when I was chasing my prey and almost went into the forest with those pointy ears," the hunter hesitated, and said, "the pattern was carved into the wood, and the attention of those pointy ears was drawn there, and they didn't notice me ......"
"What did those pointy ears say?" Someone asked, holding their breath.
"I don't know, they speak Elven language, and I can only understand a little bit...... As if something bad is coming, the forest will catch fire? And the word 'chaos'? Anyway, the pronunciation is weird, and I don't know what it is......"
The next topic began to shift in a bizarre direction. Just as everyone was talking in a whisper, Jiang Feng suddenly gently pushed away the unfinished lunch and stood up from the chair.
"Xiaobai, it's time to go."
Sweeping away the remaining crocodile meat, Xiao Bai followed Jiang Feng while chewing, and walked in the direction outside the tavern. No one noticed that the food-stuffed throat was hissing dangerously low, and the beast's pupils under the hood were swimming around alertly.
