"What the hell are you trying to say?" Santos asked with a frown, "What do you mean when the sand rhinoceros is strained, there is a lot of movement?"
The fat merchant was questioning a Dragon-Dependents helper who was tending to the Sand Rhinoceros at the Bayt Terminal, and was walking side by side in Santos' car on the road into the city.
"Ever since you left, there are two sand rhinos that can't be pulled out. โ
"Can't pull out anything?"
The desert kobold flicked his hands back and forth in front of his nose as if smelling a foul odor. "I don't want to take care of it after it pulls out the feces it has been holding for three days. โ
"That's wonderful," said Santos, the merchant who had come to Beit at night, covering his forehead, the last thing he wanted to do today was to take care of a constipated sand rhinoceros, "and you add some olives to its feed." It should be able to clear its intestines. โ
"I fed it three days ago, but it still doesn't work. โ
Santos couldn't believe it, "It's been three days since the olive was fed, and there was no reaction at all?" he shuddered involuntarily, as if thinking of some unbearable memory.
The silence was broken by Santos as he continued to walk half an hourglass, "It's Beit," he lamented, "It's only been five days since the demonic plague, and the city is gradually returning to normal"
The towers stretched out beneath the high walls were spectacular, and the large roofs overhung the cobbled streets, with shops, factories, and smoking chimneys, and the multitudes of vendors, who had paid the entry tax, entered the city with their goods or wallets for their purchases, and then left with their harvest.
Santos believed that he would reap more wealth in the redevelopment of the Beit Lingang District, and of course, making money for himself would come after completing the task entrusted to him by the Scales of Eternal Order Chamber of Commerce.
After all, business ethics and personal reputation are at stake.
"We're here," reminded the desert kobold who led the way for the fat merchant, and then he whistled and several of the Dragon's Clan Trail guards who had been hiding nearby departed, "The Great Dragon Pasha, Lord of the Dragon's Lair, His Excellency Quith, and his Wizard Advisors are temporarily residing in this apartment, you can go in and visit...... If you have time, please come down to the terminal pen and help treat the poor sand rhinoceros. โ
Santos:......
Santos breathed a sigh of relief when the other party turned his head away, he was really afraid that the desert kobold would pull him away now and face a sand rhinoceros beast with some stomach discomfort.
He came to Baite this time mainly to escort a batch of much-needed equipment and raw materials. However, due to the large amount of cargo and the necessary manpower during the voyage, the floating beast was already on the verge of overloading.
So Santos had no choice but to set off early, by land instead of taking the Leviathan, and arrived overnight in Beit City.
The shipment was mainly some powder salt crystals that had been transported from Tuka.
Through many experiments, the half-lich Snead used many methods to try to purify the seawater contaminated by Hemtar and the worm demons he unleashed, and finally discovered that an alchemical reagent had excellent results, and the material required a large amount of Tuka powder salt.
After some inspection, Santos walked through the door of the apartment, and in the hall with a bright marble floor, he saw the young blue dragon in human form and the half-lich Sneid, a magic advisor.
They stood next to what looked like a water pump, constantly checking the dashboard.
Two large water tanks have been dug out of the hall, and the machine is constantly pumping water from one of them before discharging it into the other.
Seeing Santos come in, Quest waved to him, "Good day, Mr. Santos," the fat merchant hurriedly replied, "How is the procurement of powder salt in Tuka City, have you brought samples back?"
Santos hurriedly stepped forward and handed over a small package he was carrying, which contained many crystalline fragments of powder salt, "As you know, the Eternal Order Scale Chamber of Commerce has now emptied the inventory of powder salt in Tuka, and just before I arrived here, the first batch of goods should have been transported to Beit by the Floating Behemoth, and it will take three flights to transport all the goods over." โ
The young blue dragon nodded, first took the pink lake salt brought by Santos, poured it into a preset feeding port on the water pump, and then turned back to the fat merchant and said, "This machine is called 'Purification Water Pump'. โ
He pointed to the machine in front of him made of metal, wood, and some kind of plant extract, "It will be the fist product of the Eternal Order Scale Chamber of Commerce in Beit City for some time to come." โ
Santos was used to the strange words that Quest would use from time to time - although he didn't quite understand what the relationship between goods and fists was, he probably understood that "fist goods" were "sought-after goods".
"And this 'purification pump'," seeing Santos' look of interest, Quest continued, "We'll give it all away for free." โ
"Oh...... What?"
As he was intently observing the 'purification pump', Santos didn't pay attention at first, but he reacted immediately.
"Do you mean that your 'fist' product is given away for free? All of them are given away for free, so how much does this machine cost?"
Hearing Santos's question, the young blue dragon replied solemnly: "After estimating, the cost of making a set of 'purification water pumps' is about two hundred and eighty silver kites, except for the engineering models that are specially used to purify the seawater of the harbor fjord, the cost of ordinary models is about fifty silver kites, or even less. โ
"Fifty silver Kates, ah......"
Hearing this cost price, Santos, who is very business-talented, immediately realized that this kind of 'purification water pump', even if it is an ordinary model, is not something that ordinary families can afford to consume.
Only those wealthy merchants or Bait nobles are willing to pay so much wealth at once.
However, the number of these people is limited after all, and if the profit is added to the cost, the number of people who end up buying 'purification water pumps' may be even smaller.
Thinking back to the time Quest had told himselfโ"Be sure to do your best to empty the inventory of Pink Lake Salt in Taka City," Santos immediately understood that the dragon Pasha was trying to make a profit at the consumables dealer.
And this is actually not the first time that the Scales of the Eternal Order Chamber of Commerce has done this.
After the invasion of the U-Sansan people, the "berserker armor" of Nome City was saved, and in addition to the sales of the goods themselves, the nutrient solution used to drain acid and charge the muscles and flesh in it also made the Chamber of Commerce make a lot of money.
"It's a blue dragon!" Santos couldn't help but secretly admire.
