Chapter 432: Hooked
"Want to go to Blackpool City? Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info 100,000 Golden Scales!" After looking at Luo Sheng again, Edith still maintained a smile on her face, but said coldly.
As the spokesperson of Blackpool City in the secret of the town of the castle, although Edith is not very famous on the surface, in fact, she is also one of the few giants in the entire town of the castle, and under the bewitching and weak appearance, there is an extremely unruly heart. After being overwhelmed by the news that Luo Sheng borrowed and didn't know where to get it, Edith immediately returned the color to Luo Sheng in her own domain.
You must know that although it is easier for professionals and smugglers to make money, 100,000 gold scales is definitely not a small number. At the beginning, the total assets of the Iron Shield Mercenary Group were only twenty or thirty thousand gold scales. In an ordinary small kingdom, 100,000 gold scales are enough to buy a low-level noble title and manor, and if you buy magic equipment, 100,000 gold scales can also buy quite good fourth-order magic equipment. This price is simply not affordable for ordinary people.
"Huh. Ma'am, I'm afraid you've misunderstood. I'm not trying to organize a large caravan, but I'm trying to run a single gang. If you open it at this price, you will smash the signboard!" Luo Sheng smiled when he heard this, and still responded calmly.
Because he had been in the dark region at the beginning, Luo Sheng was quite familiar with the smuggling situation, and knew that things like access permits actually had a roughly fixed market. Generally speaking, if a caravan wants to enter and exit the dark region once, depending on the number and type of goods, it will roughly cost 10,000 to tens of thousands of gold scales to buy a pass. Only the top large caravans can sell the price of the right of way for 100,000 gold scales.
In fact, the price of the caravan's passage permit is basically the product of the game between the parties, representing the balance of power of all parties. A spokesperson like Edith has considerable discretionary pricing power, but it can't be too outrageous. Otherwise, it would be tantamount to upsetting the balance between the parties. If it is really spread, it is likely to be countered by other forces. So when it came to Edith's lion, Rason didn't care at all.
"Mr. Van Cleef knows the way to this business, may I ask him where he bought the information? Edith's eyes flashed, and she casually bypassed the previous topic and continued to ask with a smile.
Although she was willing to continue to make trouble for Luo Sheng, after discovering that Luo Sheng knew very well about the smuggling business in the dark region and was not intimidated by herself at all, Edith restrained her thoughts of blackmail. After all, blackmailing a layman, and spreading it out, others can only say that Edith is clever and fools a big talent. But if the other party is clear about the price and still forcibly opens a sky-high price, it is really smashing his own signboard, and after spreading it, all parties will definitely have a certain backlash.
Although Edith's status and strength are enough to suppress the turmoil caused by this kind of thing, being able to be sent here by the dark elves to take charge of all aspects of secret affairs, Edith is obviously not a person who is willful. So after weighing the pros and cons a little, Edith temporarily gave up her plan to retaliate against Luo Sheng on the price, and instead began to explore Luo Sheng's intelligence channels.
"I bought the news from a friend on the underground black market, and as for the specific situation, it is inconvenient to disclose. Luo Sheng also responded with a smile.
The underground black market is extremely complex, and intelligence trading is an important part of it, as long as you find the right person and are willing to spend money, you can buy almost most of the secret information in the Ymir continent. In this regard, the underground black market helped Luo Sheng a lot in his previous life, but it also earned a considerable part of Luo Sheng's wealth.
Now, although Luo Sheng does not need to buy intelligence information from the underground black market for the time being, it does not delay Luo Sheng to 'throw the pot' at them. After all, in the case of not being able to explain the memories of the previous life, the underground black market, which can be said to have the most intelligence information in the Ymir Continent, is the best target to dump the pot.
"Then why doesn't the gentleman buy a pass from him?" said Edith, with a slight roll of her eyes.
Although the passage on this side of the town is mainly controlled by the garrison of the Calendula Kingdom and the Black Pool City of the Dark Elves, the underground black market also has a considerable say here. After all, as a smuggling transit station, Zhenyoubao is inseparable from the underground black market support that has countless doors and has a high reputation among various chambers of commerce and caravans. If you only rely on the human garrison and Blackpool City, the number of transactions will be very limited, and it will not be able to form such a large transaction scale as the current Zhenyou Fortress.
So in addition to the garrison and Edith, there is also a pass license to sell in the underground black market. If Rasen's relationship with the underground black market is good enough, he can buy a pass from the underground black market, and there is no need to draw snakes and come to Edith again.
"Of course, it's because of the dark elves' concession trading qualifications!" Luo Sheng said lightly after taking out a piece of silver light and putting it on the table.
"How many do you have there?!" Edith's eyes lit up the moment she saw the ore, and she asked eagerly after reaching out and grabbing the ore to examine it.
The reason why the dark elves are willing to risk being infiltrated, influenced, and even attacked by human forces to maintain the smuggling trade between the two sides is to obtain all kinds of materials needed for their own development through this trade, especially the resources that are extremely needed by the dark elves themselves, but are not produced in the dark region. For these special resources, the Dark Elves are often willing to pay far more than normal. And the Yuelan Stone that Luo Sheng took out was one of the special resources needed by the dark elves.
This kind of ore containing the power of special moonlight is one of the best materials for arranging the sacrificial circle to the queen of the spider after being smelted and purified by a special method, which can greatly improve the efficiency and return rate of the sacrifice of the queen of the spider and the communication between the queen of the spider, and it is a material that the high-level of the dark elves have been purchasing at a high price.
"The first time is definitely not much, and how much can be after that, it depends on your sincerity. Luo Sheng pointed to the Yuelan Stone and said with a smile.
"Is there anyone behind you?" said Edith, with a slight look in her eyes and a serious expression.
This ore is an extremely rare resource, even in the surface world. A runner may be able to get a few pieces by chance, but if you want to provide it endlessly, you definitely need to have a strong force behind it.
Madame asked a little early. I'm just a single-gang runner now, and many things need to be discussed after I succeed in this single-gang run. Luo Sheng reached out and took back the Yuelan Stone, and said lightly at the same time.
"Okay, I'll arrange an accompanying caravan for you as soon as possible, I hope you don't let us down!" After taking a deep look at Rasen, Edith slapped the table and said decisively.
