"Can you accompany me for the next game?" the guest asked.

Donner saw that there were no other customers in the store at this time, and this was the first customer to open the door, so for the sake of business, Donner agreed.

Although the rules of the game are simple, it is not something that can be completely mastered for the first time.

Soon the game ends, and the opponent wins with Donner's pieces.

The guest felt that it was not enjoyable, and continued to pull Donner to play a few games with him, and by the way, he also played a few games of backgammon.

After an hour, the guest seemed to feel that he had been delayed a lot, he was a little embarrassed, and more uninterested.

"How much does this chessboard cost?" asked the guest, who was already eager to carry it home.

"Fifty silver coins. Donner opened his mouth widely, anyway, there was only one glass product, there was no semicolon, and besides, the rich man's undisguised desire to buy betrayed him deeply, and Donner was not afraid that the price would be too high to scare him.

In his eyes, this rich man in silk is a fat lamb, no, not only him, but all the nobles and rich people on the continent.

"So expensive?" the guest frowned, apparently the price was a bit more than he expected.

"No, no, no," said Donner, smiling, "sir, these glass beads are so perfect, beautiful and generous, comparable to crystal things, and there are two games for you and your family to spend time, only this price can reflect your identity!"

"Do you think you'd look at it if it was only worth one copper plate?" said Donner with a smile, "Plus, there are only a few such glass chessboards, and they'll be gone when they're sold out!"

The rich man hesitated, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, I'll buy it, but I don't have so many silver coins with me, can you keep it for me?" I'll go back and ask my butler to come and buy it." ”

Donner smiled and said, "Yes, but sir, you have to hurry." ”

The rich man nodded and hurried away, and not long after, an old man who looked like a butler arrived at the shop with two domestic servants.

Donner received him, or was instructed by the rich man, and the old butler not only bought a chessboard, but also brought back a set of tea-glass jugs, a pair of tall glasses, and two vases.

For this purpose, the old butler left one hundred and eighty silver coins in the shop.

Having made his first business since opening, Donner happily sent the old butler out of the door, and did not forget to say that he was welcome to visit next time.

The glassware made of sand and cost a few copper plates was sold for a whopping 180 silver coins, and Donner had no burden in his heart.

This group of rich people sucked blood frantically on the bodies of low-level commoners and slaves, accumulating silver coins piled up in cellars, who would they slaughter if they were not slaughtered?

The reason why glass is sold at such a high price is because Donner never thought of selling it to ordinary people.

What the common people needed was food, farm tools, land, and clothing, and at this stage, Donner felt that glass should only be found in the homes of the aristocracy and the wealthy.

The rich and aristocracy had money, and Donner needed to exchange the glass for silver coins from them to build Cancer Island.

"What a good thing, no wonder everybody likes you. Donner opened his purse, grabbed a handful of silver coins, and released them, falling one by one and slamming into each other with a clanging sound.

"But how much civilian blood do you have on your body?" Downer muttered to himself.

With the first one, there will naturally be a second one, but without exception, these curious guests, whenever they step into the shop, will be shocked by the glassware in the room, and they can't believe their eyes.

Even if Donner took the trouble to patiently explain that it was not crystal, the guests were still captured by the beautiful glassware and willingly shelled out a large amount of silver to buy it.

"These people are really rich. In the backyard of the shop, Jason swayed the bright red wine in his glass.

In the past two days, he has earned a lot of silver coins, and Donner, who has always advocated frugality, had a rare luxury, and bought two bottles of wine to treat everyone.

"Definitely. In the eyes of the aristocracy, wine should be tasted slowly, but Matthew, a bastard, drank it in one gulp, like a cow drinking water, and Yuri rolled his eyes when he saw it.

"However, they were too stupid to spend so many silver coins on a bunch of things made of sand. Matthew put down his glass and added.

Donner laughed, "It's not their stupidity, it's the power of knowledge." ”

"The power of knowledge?" Matthew looked puzzled.

"Yes, that's the power of knowledge. "You see, I've got the knowledge to turn what was originally a pile of sand into a beautiful pile of glass, and I've brought us a lot of silver." ”

"So, I always tell you to read and write, but you are too lazy to do anything. "Donner's angry look.

"Hey, hey!" Matthew didn't dare to refute, and smirked vigorously, saying that he was one of the lazy.

Donner glared at Matthew angrily, and continued, "Whether it's glass, crystal, etc., these are all valuable, but knowledge is priceless, so this is also what we strongly require all the people in our liberation regiment to be able to read and write, you can read and write, and the more things you master, you can make more things, exchange for more silver coins, and make life better." ”

Donner made it simple, and everyone nodded.

Donner took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, and changed the subject: "By the way, has there been any news of Cogellan in the past few days?"

"Still not!" Jason shook his head and said, "The news of the City Lord's Mansion is very well guarded, and there is no news about it, and we have no way to find out the news in the City Lord's Mansion at the moment." ”

Donner was a little disappointed, after this navigator was taken by the City Lord's Mansion, it turned out to be like the world had evaporated, it was too weird.

"By the way, is there anything new in the war in the north? After a while, Donner didn't have a good way to do it, so he could only wait quietly for news.

"Commander, there have been a lot of rumors about this, and the news should be more reliable. Jason said, "I've heard that Hurricane Castle won, but it was a pyrrhic victory, and a lot of soldiers were lost. ”

"At present, the army of the Eternal Winter Kingdom has begun to gather, and it is rumored that they are preparing to attack Hurricane Fort again, threatening to slaughter the city in retaliation. Jason said slowly, "The royal capital intends to negotiate peace, and sent an envoy to reach Hurricane Fort half a month ago. ”

Fighting a renegotiation and peace is all a routine.

Donner silently thought, although it was a miserable victory, it was a victory anyway, if he lost, I am afraid that the kingdom of Augustos would not have the qualifications to negotiate peace!

"And it is rumored that the Eternal Winter Kingdom also intends to talk about withdrawing troops, but there are still some conditions that have not been negotiated and have been deadlocked. Jason said, "There are many people who are talking about it, at this time, the weather in the Northland has become cold, and it is about to snow, and the Kingdom of Eternal Winter is ready to withdraw its troops to make peace." ”

Donner thought for a while and sighed: "That's it, but what's next? I'm afraid that even peace negotiations won't last long, the kingdom of Ogugos has been seen clearly!"
