Chapter 14: The Glass That Will Change the World
Three years! There are only three years left! Everyone is waiting for these three years, and they have to do everything they can to make use of them. Li Zhenbang clenched his fists, his time was getting shorter and shorter, and what he could do was too limited!
But it's not without results, three years of dragon bodyguards! Hmph! How could I be willing to let you work for only three years!
How could Li Zhenbang, who was only 3 years old, be familiar with the emperor? Omega, who had just arrived in the emperor, was also blind to the imperial capital. The two of them took a few servants to wander around the imperial capital, and anyway, a bag of money was enough to squander.
"Little Liuzi, why don't the houses in the imperial capital use glass?" After a while, Li Zhenbang found that the private houses and most of the shops in the imperial capital do not use glass, and only some high-end jewelry stores and magical equipment shops will use "glass", and most of the houses and shops still use wooden lattice windows pasted with oiled paper.
"Young Master, what is glass?" asked a servant who was small, no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, and dressed as a very clever scholar.
"It's the clear glass on the windows of our Earl's Palace!"
"Young Master, it's not called glass, it's a large transparent magic crystal. Although it is only a relatively low-level magic product, it can only be used by people with status and rich people like our Earl's Court, and each piece must be at least 10 gold coins or more. The scholar named Xiao Liuzi puffed up his chest and said proudly.
"Are there any other colors besides the transparent ones?"
"Yes, but only the transparent ones are suitable for installation on the windows, and the other colors are generally made into more advanced crafts or used to hold some magic potions due to poor light transmittance. ”
Li Zhenbang lowered his head and thought for a while, then continued to walk forward.
"Young master, I will soon arrive at the Gathering Wealth Chamber of Commerce, Gathering Wealth is the largest Chamber of Commerce in our empire, do you want to take a look? A few days ago, I heard the patriarch say that there seems to be a very large auction held today, there should be a lot of good things, and the patriarch should also go today. ”
"Forget it, no, I don't have anything I want to buy. Li Zhenbang looked up at the omega beside him and shook his head.
Just kidding! What's this guy next to you? That's a dragon! What do dragons like?Glittering gold coins and treasures! If Omega sees something he wants and can't afford it, he's going to have to mess up the world.
"Young Master, you must not have heard of the Gathering Wealth Chamber of Commerce!"
"Little Sixth Son, I have basically never left the Earl's Court since I was born, how could I have heard of it!"
"Young master, the development history of the Gathering Wealth Chamber of Commerce is only fifty or sixty years, but the owner of the Chamber of Commerce, Lord Zhen Shoucai, is not simple. He's the first person to dare to open a branch to the Marina Continent!"
"Oh? It's kind of interesting! As far as I know, it seems that the people of the Marina Continent are quite hostile to the people of our Karo Empire!
"No, Lord Zhen's own strength is just a brass warrior, but Lord Zhen is now a rich country!"
Lord Zhen...... Rich to rival the country......
A week later
"Brother Omega, do you want to surpass Alpha in wealth and become the most wealthy man in the Dragon Clan?" Li Zhenbang looked at Omega and smiled.
Omega was covered in hair, but the thought of Alpha's mountain of wealth made his eyes shine. If he was richer than Alpha, would Alpha just throw himself into his arms?
"Zhenbang, what you said is true?" Omega asked as he looked at Li Zhenbang with some curiosity and suspicion.
"Of course it's true, but there is a reward for the effort!"
"What do you want?"
"At all times, keep me safe, and stand by my side no matter what happens. It's not just these three years!"
"This ......"
"What's the matter? The glittering gold coin dragon is not interested, what a miracle!"
"I like gold coins, but I have to have a life flower. You're a disciple of the Twin Holy Magisters, and if they can't protect you, I won't necessarily have a solution. ”
Li Zhenbang looked at Omega in surprise, and Omega didn't seem to be as simple as it seemed.
"Don't worry, I won't take the initiative to provoke some terrible opponents, but if someone takes the initiative to provoke me, you have to protect me. ”
"If my opponent's abilities threaten my life, I have the right to protect myself. ”
"Okay, but you have to make a move when I need you. ”
"This ......"
"Don't worry, I won't let you fight a terrible opponent. The dragon clan seems to be really afraid of softness!" Li Zhenbang pursed his lips disdainfully.
"Nonsense! The glory of the dragon clan is sacrosanct!"
"It's inviolable to meet people who have been beaten, right?" Li Zhenbang said with squinting eyes and disdain.
"You ......"
"What are you, do you want to do it?"
"Then how did you make me a rich man of the dragon clan?"
"How about you look at this?" Li Zhenbang took out a large piece of transparent glass from the space ring.
"Transparent Magic Crystal? No, this one is more transparent than Clear Magic Crystal, and there is no magic element flowing at all. What the hell are you doing, and what's the use?"
"Glass, an alternative to clear magic crystals. ”
"This one of yours is so transparent, it should be very expensive, but what does this have to do with me?"
"After this is sold, you will be three and I will share it, and all you need to pay is to protect me. ”
"Cut! I thought it was a great thing! This thing will definitely be bought by the nobles, but if it is too expensive, it will definitely not sell too much, even if you give me all the money from the sale, I will not be richer than Alpha!"
"You're wrong, this glass is not sold to nobles and wealthy merchants, this is sold to ordinary people!"
"What kind of thing, sell it to ordinary people? How can they buy it, you must be crazy!"
"Why can't you afford it, 1 silver coin and 1 dollar, do you think anyone won't buy it?"
"What's that? 1 silver coin for 1 piece? Wouldn't I only get 30 copper coins if I sold a piece? What can I do with 30 copper coins? I just run and rob a beggar, and I can't get only 30 copper coins!"
"Hmph, short-sighted fellow, don't you know what it means to make small profits but quick turnover? How many households are there in the imperial capital, and how many pieces of glass do they need for each family? ”
"That's not a lot of money, is it?" Omega muttered.
Li Zhenbang glanced at him helplessly, "Then what about you look at this?" Li Zhenbang took out a piece of stained glass and handed it over.
"It's ?oh my God! It's transparent stained glass! But what's the use of this thing?" Omega looked at Li Zhenbang with a puzzled expression.
Li Zhenbang was speechless for a while, Omega is simply a business idiot, except for being interested in money, he doesn't understand other fart.
"There is always a difference between nobles and commoners, do you think they are willing to use the same things as ordinary people?
"Then you can't stand on the street shouting at this stained glass!"
Li Zhenbang's face was full of black lines, are the things of the nobility that can be bought casually on the street?
"Brother Omega, are you full of paste in your head? Have you forgotten the Chamber of Commerce you passed by a few days ago? Don't you also know about the auction? Since it is a noble thing, of course it is the one with the highest price!"
"That's right! When the time comes, there will be auctions every day, auctions every day, and we will make a fortune!"
Li Zhenbang held his forehead with one hand and shook his head helplessly. "Brother Omega, you are really my brother, if there is an auction every day, will the stained glass still be valuable?"
"Uhhh......h
Li Zhenbang turned over his hand and took out a few transparent and dark glass bottles and threw them to Omega, "Brother Omega, these things can replace the crystal bottle and can be mass-produced glass bottles, the invention of this glass bottle will probably shock the magic world!"
A glass bottle that replaces the magic crystal bottle? Omega can't believe what he says! You must know that the magic crystal is a very valuable item, and the crystal bottle made of the magic crystal is a scarce resource. Crafting a magic crystal bottle requires a lot of energy from the magician, and the magician needs a large amount of magic crystal bottle to hold a concentrated magic elemental liquid when experimenting.
If the glass bottle could completely replace the magic crystal bottle, it would shock the wizarding world. Even if only some of the magic crystal bottles can be replaced, it will be an unprecedented revolution for magicians!
"Brother Omega, you still don't have to think about anything, concentrate on being my bodyguard! Let's go to the Gathering Wealth Chamber of Commerce, and we will meet Chairman Zhen Shoucai for a while!"
