Chapter 106: Anti-guest-oriented
Profiteer essentials: On the surface, you can never show a petty family, and you must be very generous at any time!
- Ret
"My name is Ret, and I'm the leader of this caravan. The goblin with the tricorne on his head invited Xiong Yan to do it, and after introducing himself, he immediately instructed his subordinates: "What are you doing in a daze, haven't you heard that Your Excellency the Mage is a little tired?!
The goblins quickly went to their bags and pulled out large strips of meat and some compressed products, as well as some ale in wooden barrels. With such hospitality, it is difficult to associate them with the word "profiteer".
But the system really said that these goblins in front of them are profiteers.
Xiong Yan stared at Leiter, clicked on the background information from the subtitles in front of him, and found that Leiter was really a well-known profiteer in the Southern Basin, and his caravan sold everything in this area, as long as he could afford to give a price several times higher than others, even if it was the claws of the black dragon, they could find a way to get it.
He was not polite, and drank the goblin caravan's ale in large gulps, which was probably very expensive for this quality alone. The quality of the compressed food is also top-notch, and the aroma of the meat being grilled is also good.
"So, is there anything you need, Your Excellency Mage?" Thunder rubbed his hands, "I just heard that Your Excellency Mage wants to buy something?"
Reiter expected that the mages would definitely not be short of money, and even they would not have to trade with money, but would all barter magic items for money.
"What do you have?"
"Everything, whatever your Excellency Mage needs, my Rett caravan will be delivered to you several times faster than others, and the price is even lower than other caravans, Tong Su is not bullied!"
The words "everything" made Xiong Yan very difficult. He didn't know that there were anything precious in this world, something that was too low-level, the first was that it didn't fit his blind identity as a great magician, and the second was that he couldn't gain the trust of this caravan for a long time.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiong Yan shook his wit and said, "I'm an academic magician, and I came out this time mainly to find some inspiration. Although our human magical civilization is recognized as being at the forefront of all races of magicians, I always feel that we should not be too arrogant, and we must also see if there are any new inspirations and directions for the study of magic in other races. ”
He didn't directly say what he wanted, let the other party guess.
Leiter is even more convinced of the identity of the Great Magician of Xiong Yan!
At this time, Leiter thought in his heart: No wonder human magic is so much ahead of other races, it's not just humans who are more talented in cultivating magic!
Look at the goblin magicians, who are called mages regardless of the department. Human beings have long distinguished between "fire magicians" and "wind magicians", and now they have come up with some "academic" classification, specializing in all kinds of magic, poof, puff, puff, and humans no longer focus only on combat. It's all like this, it's no wonder that the magical civilization of mankind is underdeveloped!
Taken literally, Lei Teer felt that Xiong Yan was a magician specializing in learning, and he tentatively asked, "For example, the notes of some small race magicians or something?"
Xiong Yan deliberately sold it, frowned and thought for a while, "This is just the most introductory thing, but if you have it, it doesn't hurt to take a look." ”
"The most entry-level?" said Leitt in surprise, "Are there any more advanced research directions?"
"If you guess this in the future, let's find a way to get two notebooks to take a look, and if the quality is passed, I will cooperate with you in the next step. Xiong Yan felt that Leiter had already fallen into the trap, and replied with a grin.
"It's fine, it only takes a few days to get your hands on it. Ray nodded and made a hesitant look, "But Your Excellency the Venerable Mage...... You see, I know that mages don't care about money, but we superficial businessmen ...... You should know, I would like to know what kind of things Your Excellency Mage can be exchanged for. ”
Immediately after, he added, "We have dealt with mages before, and they have used magic crystals to exchange items with us. ”
Magic crystals are priceless things for ordinary people, and only mages have a way to get magic crystals. Of course, Reiter hopes to get some magic crystals from Xiong Yan.
Xiong Yan knows that as long as he can come up with something that makes the other party happy, he can form a long-term cooperative relationship. Although he didn't know why the system wanted him to reach a long-term cooperation with the profiteer team, he didn't care so much, and first unlocked a new permission.
After thinking about it, there really wasn't anything in the fanny pack.
He looked hesitant, "I came out in a hurry, and I didn't bring many good things, that's all." ”
"Look at it. As he spoke, Xiong Yan took out the contents of his waist bag, including natural crystals, as well as Crotty's currency, gold, silver, and copper leaves.
He had thought that the natural spar would arouse the other party's interest, after all, this thing had a lot of similarities with the magic spar. How do you know that the other party didn't even glance at the natural spar, and his eyes were all focused on a few gold leaves.
There are no elves in the intermediate plane, let alone any creatures that cultivate the power of nature. The natural spar is a dark green stone here!
And the gold leaf is to the appetite of the goblins: first of all, gold is a precious thing everywhere, and then look at the craftsmanship.
"Unbelievable, is this magic?" Rett lifted a gold leaf with a slightly trembling hand and observed the lines on it, "I can't believe that any craftsman can carve a piece of gold like this, this golden leaf is simply alive!"
This has to say that the great characteristics of the elf race: living longer than other races, loving nature, natural artists, and kindness (this attribute is gone in Xiong Yan's opinion, and now the elves are assimilated like humans, and their ears are a little pointed).
But the artistic attainments of the elves are really strong!
Even the gold, silver, and copper leaves, the currency used by the elves, are carved to lifelike as real leaves.
There are no elves in the intermediary plane, and the highest artistic attainments are humans. And the handicrafts of the elf clan, those sold on the streets of Moon Arrow City, can pull a few streets of the top works of art of mankind here if you buy them casually.
"Hey, that's not a big deal. "Xiong Yan put up a score, although there is no shortage of gold, silver and copper leaves after robbing the Bear Gang, it is not long to trade this thing, "This is just the circulating currency of our association." ”
"Association?" Rett twitched his ears twice, the nature of the profiteer made him smell of big business.
"A few of our panicked mages have come up with an art association. Xiong Yan looked indifferent.
To Leyter's ears, magic art, and an association, who knows how many good things there are? You must know that orcs and dwarves like to act like "they are very cultured!" when they are high and rich. If you sell magical artwork to the nouveau riche, the money can literally drown itself!
He immediately resignedly asked, "Your Excellency, may I ask if there will be any artworks in that association to sell?"
"Yes. Xiong Yan bared his teeth, "As long as you can come up with something that makes my heart flutter." ”
