Chapter 107: Late-Night Trading
"He's a smart guy. Xu Yi looked at the back of Murna Lifao and let out a sigh of emotion.
Haynas on the side glanced at him: "Nonsense, Murna is the most genius magician of the Lyfao family since the Archmage of Riffao, and the person who is known as the most promising to become the next Archmagister, how can he not be smart." β
"You know that's not what I said. Xu Yi smiled slightly. "He did not directly ask for gold coin trading, but chose to use research materials to carry out long-term cooperation with our chamber of commerce, which has to be said to be a very wise choice. Only in this way will they be able to obtain a more long-term and stable income. The final benefit is much more cost-effective than just getting some gold. β
Haynath rolled his eyes again: "Hey, President Xu, can I take this as if you are boasting?
"Why, don't you believe it?" Xu Yi asked rhetorically.
Heinaston was stunned and speechless.
No matter how much Henas wants to raise the bar with Xu Yi, he can't deny that the development prospects of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are extremely broad, and only by choosing to cooperate with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for a long time can he obtain more lucrative benefits.
Seeing that Haynas had nothing to say, Xu Yi glanced at the direction in which Murna Lyfao had left, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "You just said that this Murna Lyfao is a genius magician who has high hopes for the Mura Levao family and is expected to become the next Great Magister?"
Henas still glanced at Xu Yi: "Aren't you also a magician? Can't you see that his magic strength is already very strong? You know, he is two years younger than me, but he is already a sixth-level magician." β
"Hmm. At this age, he is already a sixth-level magician. A super genius indeed. Xu Yi nodded. "No wonder the Riffao family needs money so much. After all, if you want to improve your magic strength. He must need a lot of magic materials to remind him to do all kinds of magic experiments. β
Haynas shrugged, "Any powerful mage is piled up with gold coins, not even your supposedly poorest and thrifty Grand Mage Camilla. You see, since having your guy as a backing and not worrying about money, Grand Magician Camilla has even improved by one level in just three years. He's a great magician!"
Xu Yi laughed: "If you hear what Grand Magician Camilla hears, believe it or not, he will kick you directly? Gold coins are important, but the talent of the magician himself is even more important." When you say that, don't you deny his old man's magical talent?"
"Hey. Don't spread rumors, I didn't mean that. Haynas hurriedly waved his hand. "I'm just saying that with the same magical talent, it's obviously easier for a rich magician to improve his magical strength, can you deny it?"
"Well...... I really can't deny it. Xu Yi nodded. "I didn't see what I just said, the Lyfao family needs money so much, it must be to improve the magic strength of the Murna Lyfao family. β
"Well, for this, they are willing to sell even the precious relics of the Archmage Lifao. Hainas sighed with emotion: "I think that when the Great Magister Lifao was still alive, the Lyfao family was even extremely famous in the entire Sainz continent, how could they be short of money." β
"They're not short of money now. Xu Yi had a confident smile on his face. "With the precious research materials left behind by the Archmage of Lyfao. Their family will definitely get enough benefits from our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the future, so this Murna Lyfao will definitely not be short of money to conduct magic research in the future. β
"You guys like to show off a lot today......" Haynas rolled his eyes. Suddenly, his heart moved, he looked at Xu Yi and asked, "By the way, Xu Yi, speaking of which...... Another important thing for you to come to Anweimar this time is to participate in the qualification assessment of the Magicians' Guild, right?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"I'm just a little curious. Every time I met Camilla the Great Magician, he would say that you kid is actually very talented in magic, and if you concentrate on studying magic, at least you will not have a problem becoming a great magician in the future. So I want to ask, since you decided to come to the assessment this year, you must feel that your level has improved, right?"
"yes, and then what?"
"I want to think about it...... The year before last, you passed the qualification assessment of a seventh-level magician, right? This year, looking at this, you should be able to pass the assessment of the eighth-level magician, and I am curious, is it possible for you to directly pass the assessment of a ninth-level magician?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "When I go to the assessment in two days, you will naturally know." β
###
After twelve o'clock, in the early hours of the morning, even as the largest city in the Lampari Kingdom, the current city of Anvimar was also plunged into silence and darkness.
Alex walked briskly through the shadows of the late-night streets south of the city, and after walking through two intersections in a row, he suddenly turned left and entered a street alley.
After about two hundred meters in this dark and empty alley, he reached out and knocked a few times on the dilapidated wooden door at the side of the alley.
There was a knock on the door, and the wooden door creaked open, revealing the face of a middle-aged man who looked unremarkable.
Alex glanced at him, frowned slightly, and walked inside.
When the wooden door was closed, there was a narrow hut that could be found everywhere in the south of the city.
The two entered a small room in the hut, and after the middle-aged man closed the doors and windows tightly, he stretched out his hand directly to Alex.
Alex glanced at the hand stretched out on his chest, but instead of directly taking out the things hidden in his chest as usual, he frowned and hesitated, and said, "I hope to increase the price of this thing." β
The middle-aged man seemed a little surprised, but then laughed again: "What's the matter, Alex, what happened, you actually have the guts to come and make conditions with me?"
Alex snorted coldly, "I saw the adults grow yesterday. β
"Xu Yi, so what?"
"How's it going?" Alex suddenly became angry, stretched out a finger and poked the middle-aged man's chest hard, and whispered, "Do you know?" Did the Elder warn me?"
"Warning you?" heard the words. The middle-aged man didn't have time to care about Alex's faux pas. His brows furrowed deeply, and he asked rhetorically, "What did he say?"
Alex had a stunned expression on his face, and after a while, he shook his head blankly: "I don't know. The Elder didn't say it explicitly, but I could tell that he must have known something and warned me. Anyway, this is the last transaction between us, you give me the money. We haven't had anything to do with each other since then, I've never seen you, and you've never seen me, understand?"
The middle-aged man looked at Alex silently for a while, and suddenly let out a sneer: "Alex, it seems that you don't know your position?"
"What?" said Alex in a deep voice.
"What do you think...... Is this kind of thing something you say you can do, and if you don't do it, you won't do it? Do you think...... What would he do to you if I told you everything you did, and let your elder know that you had betrayed a lot of your New Flying Chamber of Commerce's research secrets?"
Alex's face became unusually ugly, and after a moment of silence. Reluctantly smiled, shook his head, and said, "The elders won't do anything to me." He said it yesterday when he warned him. For my uncle's sake, he will give me a chance no matter what I do wrong, so your threat doesn't mean anything to me. β
The middle-aged man smiled: "You are really naΓ―ve." Alex, you don't know what you've done?"
"Isn't it just to sell you something that came out of the mouths of those researchers, what's the matter? I don't believe that the Elder will do anything to me for such a small matter. Anyway, his uncle was also his earliest partner, and he would definitely be skeptical. Alex chuckled.
The middle-aged man squinted his eyes and looked at Alex for a moment, then smiled and stretched out his hand again: "Okay, first take out what you got this time and show me." If appropriate, I can raise the price a bit to ensure that you are satisfied. β
Alex hesitated for a moment, nodded, reached out and pulled out a thin notebook from his chest and handed it over.
The middle-aged man opened the notebook and glanced at it, and shook his head slightly: "Alex, your words are still so ugly." β
Alex said angrily, "Does it matter? Besides, I'm afraid I'll forget, I recorded it before the strength of the wine was completely over, and it would be hellish if the words could be written beautifully." β
"Okay, as long as the content is correct. β
The middle-aged man smiled and continued to flip through the notebook, and after reading two pages, his face showed a very surprised look.
"Alex, this time the goods seem to be very good. β
Alex gave a smug look: "Of course. This time, I brought Dean Evita from the Academy of Magic and the leaders of several research groups along. Several of them are the core researchers of the Magic Research Institute, and of course they know more. Since you think it's good, the price is ......."
"The price is no problem. The middle-aged man flipped through his notebook again, thought for a moment, took out a golden ticket from his bosom and handed it to Alex.
Alex took it and was taken aback.
"Three thousand gold coins, so many?"
"If it's too much, you can return it to me. The middle-aged man laughed.
Alex quickly stuffed the golden ticket into his arms, and then waved his hand to the middle-aged man: "Goodbye." β
Seeing that Alex was about to walk out of the house, the middle-aged man suddenly sighed: "If I were you, I wouldn't choose to leave now." β
Alex stopped abruptly, looked back and frowned, "What do you mean by that, do you want to threaten me?"
"No, I'm just sorry for you. The middle-aged man said.
"What is my pity?"
"Originally, I just received a new task here, and I also need you to get some research materials from your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the price offered by the other party is very high, I thought that this time I would already make a lot of money just by taking commissions from it, let alone you. It's a shame that you don't want to continue working now......"
Alex had a struggling expression on his face, and after a long while, he gritted his teeth and asked softly, "What price did the other party offer?"
The middle-aged man stretched out a finger, and the smile on his face was reflected strangely by the lights in the room.
"Ten thousand gold coins. β
"Ten thousand gold coins?"
Alex's breathing suddenly became very rapid. (To be continued......)
