Early spring, 757 year of the Holy Spirit Empire calendar.

Empress Charles X bid farewell to William, and William sailed south, leaving the province of Canaan, and rushing to the province of Haiman by water.

By the time William returned to Yuanxin Water City, it was already half a month later.

At noon on the same day, a mysterious guest was welcomed in the Duke's Palace, which William had temporarily renovated and expanded, and the Governor's Palace.

The representative of the young generation of elven expansionists, Yuris.

She brought good news that the elves had been counselled by the Elven Council, and with the approval of the Elven King, the Elves were allowed to open trade routes with the Terrans.

After more than 200 years of rigid relations of 'old age and death', the elves finally changed their attitude and had a little intention of repairing the relationship between the two sides.

The stakes were so high that William, one of the traders on both sides, had to be cautious.

According to what Yuris revealed, the elves are ready to throw out a batch of gems for sale, hoping to exchange for some simple materials to improve the living standards of the elves.

To this end, Ulis even prepared a list in advance, which is full of various necessities such as clean clothes, utensils for meals, pots and pans, fuel for oil lamps, perfume, sake, and so on.

In the study, William held this long list of supplies in his hand, looked at it, and frowned slightly.

I have to say that the elves are not only lonely and high, but also have outrageous vision.

Take ordinary tableware as an example, all of them must be made of silver, and they must be of the highest quality. This kind of silver tableware is only used by some noble families in the Holy Spirit Empire.

Ordinary civilians use ordinary pottery.

And the clothes of spring, summer, autumn and winter also require good silk fabrics. In addition to the materials, the handiwork of the clothes is also extremely picky, not only to look good, with the aesthetic value, but also to be durable, wear a year or two will not be broken and dropped.

On the surface, these daily necessities are not worth a few dollars. However, William made a preliminary budget, and the transaction price this time was at least more than 500,000 gold coins.

Seeing that William looked at the list and didn't speak, Yulis suddenly asked, "You are now a duke, is it very difficult for you to get these living materials?"

William shook his head, "It's not an embarrassment, it's a trouble." If it's okay to keep it small, I can get it casually. But this time the total amount is too much...... Shouldn't these daily necessities be for the entire elf race?"

"Of course. Yuris said directly.

She didn't feel at all how much pressure it would take to supply a race's living materials to get them, but said with some disapproval: "I clearly know the value of this transaction. Therefore, we elves are also ready to take out a large number of gems of the same value and trade them. ”

As she spoke, Julius took out a palm-sized pure stone and placed it on William's desk.

This stone is rough and must go through various cutting, polishing, and other processes to become a pure gemstone.

Although William didn't know much about the manufacture of gemstones, he could see at a glance that the quality of the rough that Euris took out was very high.

Even after a special treatment by an alchemist, this gemstone rough can be transformed into a magic crystal with a higher value.

A large part of the quality of a wand depends on the quality of the magic crystal.

In other words, William is very tempted by this transaction.

He stood up, wandered around the study for a while, hesitated for a moment, and said, "On my side, everything is okay, and the time is set for half a month." When the time comes, I will organize a caravan and personally lead it to your elves to trade. ”

When Yuris heard this, she was surprised and said, "So fast?"

"Questions?"

"Nope. I thought you'd have months to prepare at the earliest. In that case, I need to go back as soon as possible and ask my people to speed up the mining of the gem veins. ”

William didn't keep Eulith.

Julis, hooded and hidden in a wide gray robe, exited the study and left under the guidance of a subordinate of the Duke's Palace.

As soon as she walked on her front foot, William had a message go down and called Crean over.

"Young Master William, if there is anything you command. Crean said respectfully. Although William had become a duke, he still liked to use the title and was able to maintain a more intimate feeling.

William didn't care, and directly pushed the list of materials in the study down in front of Crean: "Look at this, see if you can get these supplies together in half a month." ”

Crean didn't ask much, picked up the list and read it. After a while, he raised his head and said in surprise: "Young Master William, with our current strength in Water City, it is difficult to raise so many high-grade materials in a short period of time. Unless...... We spend gold coins to buy from other merchants. ”

"Then it's worth the gold coins. William said nonchalantly.

Kerian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Young Master William, but we don't have many gold coins in the treasury anymore. ”

William was stunned, "No money again?"

Crean nodded with difficulty: "Building a city is too expensive." Moreover, we have to figure out the football field, basketball court, racetrack and so on that you mentioned the young master, and the money is really not enough to spend. ”

William suddenly. He asked with great interest, "Are there many spectators in those football fields, basketball courts, and racetracks?"

"It's a lot, it's almost full. ”

"I used to be very curious, but it wasn't until I took the time to play a game in the football stadium a few days ago that I felt my blood boiling. These are some really good exercises. ”

William suddenly smiled and said meaningfully: "These sports are not only as simple as fitness, but also make a lot of money, you have to study hard." ”

Crian didn't know why, but William didn't say much, but asked him to retreat, and tomorrow he took the time to accompany him to the football field to see how to earn a lot of gold with football.

At night, Crean did not sleep, but held a football in his hand, sat on the bed and pondered repeatedly, looking at it.

At this time, a graceful and luxurious woman poured a cup of hot water and put it at the head of the bed, and asked curiously: "Master, you are so busy with things every day, why don't you sleep today?"

Crean turned his head to look at his wife.

This wife is the daughter of a business family, not only beautiful and intelligent, but also extremely capable. Crean and she met at a perfume brand launch, and it was love at first sight and they quickly fell in love.

As a celebrity around William, Crian's status has also risen as William's title continues to rise. If it had changed, his lover's family wouldn't have looked at Crean at all. And now, the other party can't wait to hug Crean's thick thighs.

At this moment, when asked by his wife, Crean asked with a serious face: "Do you know what this one in my hand is?"

"Football!"

The wife replied directly: "In the football stadium of Shuicheng, many people are playing this, of course I know!"

"Then you say, can this football sell a lot of gold coins?"

"This soccer ball is dirty, it's being kicked around on the ground, and you're still holding it in your hand. I don't want money, the football is given to me for nothing, and I don't want it either. ”

"You don't understand. That's what Master William said. ”

Crean sighed and said, "The young master's vision has always been so lofty. He said that if football can make money, it will definitely make a lot of gold. ”

The wife rolled her eyes and fell asleep.

She hadn't seen William, and she didn't know why the people around William worshipped him like that, just like those fanatical believers in the Church of Light.

And something like this happened tonight not once or twice. (To be continued.) )
