A ten-storey building, the front and back galleries and pavilions are connected and occupy an area of thousands of square meters, the carved beams and paintings are splendid, the hall is full of people coming and going, and the clothes are either rich or expensive, this is the Chamber of Commerce in the border city is also the general association of the Chamber of Commerce in the Earldom of Parrington, along the way, Lear found that the luxury of the Chamber of Commerce is comparable to the Mage Association, it seems that the rumors that the Earl of Parrington has mixed a share in it are true.

Under the leadership of a red-clothed lady, Lear and Landrig entered a side hall, and in the gap waiting for the principal to come, the maid kept scratching her head at Lear, after all, such a young and good-looking mage is really very rare, and Lear, who has long been accustomed to this, did not care about it, but returned a polite smile to the other party, which made the maid like a chicken blood could not stop.

A few hours later, a middle-aged fat man appeared at the door, accompanied by two maids, and his round belly had just crossed the door frame, and the hearty voice arrived first.

"Landryg, didn't you go to a tavern, why didn't you mix too much water into the wine and you couldn't do it, and you had to go back to your old business?"

As soon as he entered, he made fun of Landriger, and it was obvious that the two men were old acquaintances.

"I just don't mix water in the wine, and I don't see you, a dead fat man, go to my place for a drink, because I think my grade is too low, and your identity is too low. ”

Landrig responded unceremoniously, and the fat man laughed out loud when he heard it, and then he noticed Lear sitting behind Landrig, and couldn't help but have a stunned expression on his face.

"Who is this lord?"

He was shaken by the five bars on Lear's chest.

"Lord Lear, who is also my current patron, will be your patron soon. ”

Landrigo said triumphantly, a bit of a fox-like posture.

"Ah, old drunkard, you've killed me. ”

The middle-aged fat man glared at Landig in annoyance, and then hurriedly saluted Lear to apologize.

"I'm Archdeacon Gapley of the Border City Chamber of Commerce, because I've been an old friend with Landry for many years, and I didn't notice you at the first time just now, so I ask your forgiveness for being rude. ”

Lear stood up and smiled to indicate that it was okay, then gave Landry a look that he could continue.

"That's how Gapley, Lord Lear has a batch of precious ore for me to sell, five thousand pounds of sulfur ore, I thought of you at the first time, it depends on whether you can eat it or not. ”

Landrig didn't continue to be polite, probably because he was an old friend, and he single-handedly picked out the reason.

"Five thousand pounds?"

Hearing this number, Gapley's expression was also slightly surprised, this is not a small number, and it is no wonder that Landry, who has nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, directly found him.

"What about purity?"

He hurriedly asked again, after all, the level of purity is directly related to the price.

"Fifteen to one, I have refined it myself, and every fifteen pounds of sulfur ore can extract about one pound of pure sulfur, but I use fire-based magic to refine it by hand, if you have an alchemist's magic circle or help, the refining efficiency should be higher than mine. ”

This time it was Lear who answered, because this operation had always been carried out by him alone, and he also knew that his refining technique was very rough, and there should be a lot of room for improvement, and if the method was done properly, it was not very difficult to achieve an efficiency of ten to one, and the veins under the misty island were of high quality.

"Phew!"

Gapley gasped.

What Landrig and Lear don't know is that rare ores such as gems and crystals are only 50 to 1 with the highest purity on the market, or even 100 to 1 is normal quality, and there is still room for improvement from 15 to 1, so the sulfur mine they have in their hands is simply more precious than gold.

As for Lear's ability to lie, he hadn't even thought about it, and the credibility of a fifth-level magician could still vouch for this matter, not to mention that they would also check it later.

"What's wrong? Is the quality too bad?"

Seeing Gapley's reaction, Lear was a little puzzled.

"This lord, you can really laugh, if the quality of your sulfur ore is poor, then all those in our warehouse can be used to pave the road, but such a big deal is beyond my jurisdiction, please wait a moment, I will go and ask the vice president to negotiate with you personally." ”

After saying that, Gappley gave Lear a serious salute and then left in a hurry, his round big ass urging the two little short legs to be like flying, which made Lear have to sigh that the fat man is really a magical creature.

After a while, Gapley carefully accompanied Xiao back to the reception room behind a gorgeous woman in her thirties.

Lear squinted his eyes and looked at the badge on the other party's round chest.

Warlock, level 5.

It is actually no different from the mage's badge, the same five bars, except that the warlock's badge has an extra silver border drawn in silver, symbolizing the snow and the place where alchemy originated.

The woman was obviously stunned when she saw Lear, although on the way to her, Gapley told her that the other party was a fifth-level magician, but such a young man was far beyond her imagination, but she quickly changed to a sweet smile.

"Hello, distinguished guest, I am Zoya, the vice president of the Border City Chamber of Commerce, and I am honored to meet you. ”

She nodded slightly to Lear, as for Landrig being ignored by her, the fifth-level warlock didn't need to salute a high mate yet.

"Hello beautiful lady, I have been adrift at sea for more than a month, and it is only when I see you that I feel that it is all worth it. ”

Lear said with a smile.

Hearing Lear's compliment, Zoya pursed her lips with her hands and smiled shyly, this kind of girlish action turned out to be unique to her, which showed her beauty.

"If I could meet a young and promising mage like you when I was young, maybe my life would be completely different. ”

After the maid had refreshed the refreshments, Zoya motioned for everyone to sit down, but Landerig and Gapley stood behind them.

"You said that there is a batch of high-quality sulfur ore that you want to sell, can you let me see the sample?"

After the pleasantries, Zoya went straight to the point, although Lear is a very interesting young man, she is a businessman at heart, and warlocks are very busy.

"As you wish. ”

After saying that, a fist-sized piece of sulfur ore rough appeared in Lear's hand, and he slowly flew towards Zoya on the opposite side under the traction of the levitation technique.

Levitation is the simplest secondary auxiliary magic, similar to Seeing Through Earth and Seeing Air, which can cause objects weighing less than five pounds to float for a short time, while the flying thaumaturgy, which can lead an entire army over treacherous peaks and mountains, is the most advanced forbidden spell in air magic.

Zoya took the piece of ore and looked at it carefully for a while, and then a burst of blue light lit up on her hand, and a miniature alchemy circle appeared on her palm, and the sulfur ore rough stone slowly rotated in that circle, and after a few minutes, sulfur powder began to fall on the table in front of Zoya's hand.

This is not to say that Zoya's strength is stronger than Lear, in fact, as alchemists, most of them have some small alchemy circles or runes carved on their bodies, many of which have even been passed down from generation to generation, and they have unique advantages in this area, these circles make it more convenient for them to cast some low-level magic and auxiliary magic in the early stage of the battle, but there are also great drawbacks.

That is, alchemists usually focus on the study of these shortcuts, they believe that all magical theories can be explained through experiments and research, but explanation is not the same as mastery, and some advanced spells are far from being able to get the correct theory through research.

After spending too much time researching, they have less time to learn and master spells, and they may go far on the road of theory, but the actual combat effectiveness is very debatable, so often in the later stage, the explosive power of the mage in battle will far exceed that of the alchemist.

The piece of ore that Lear gave weighed about a pound, but in Zoya's hands, the piece of ore turned into three piles of powder, and in addition to the sulfur and stone powder, there was a small pile of silvery-white powder, which looked a bit like silver powder, but was darker than silver powder.

"Mercury?"

Lear immediately raised his own question, the probability of mercury associated with sulfur ore is very low, so he is not very sure.

"Well, mercury. ”

Zoya was also a little surprised, the purity of the raw ore she refined reached a terrifying ten to one, and there was actually precious mercury, although it was less than one hundred to one, but both of these were extremely precious resources, and the two minerals in the shape of powder on the table were of extremely high quality, which meant that the vein that Lear had mastered was simply too rich to be described as oily.

If you can, I hope you can establish a long-term strategic cooperative relationship with our chamber of commerce, no matter how many such ores you have in the future, we will accept all the orders, and as for the price, we will increase by 30% according to the best price in the market. ”

Zoya stood up, her eyes shining with the glow of gold coins.

Lear smiled.
