The price of gold is falling again.

With a stack of the latest summary reports in hand, Commander Wenfeng walked into Davidshur's study.

Located in the west wing of the Great Library, the shelves on the four walls are filled with books and scrolls, giving the small living space in the middle a musty smell that smells like a mausoleum that has been closed for centuries.

"This room really should have a window or two. ”

The Commander of the Wind thought secretly, but he knew very well that this suggestion would go against the traditions of the past generations of Alain, and the Great Visuer would not take it.

And other than that, the study is actually pretty well furnished.

There is very little furniture on display in the room, and it is very simple. The wooden chairs are beautifully carved, but they are hard and uncomfortable to sit on. In the center is a low table with no ornamentation, and the smooth black surface reflects only the glow of a fluorite chandelier.

Everything is in order. Even the firewood by the fire, which was in the rainy season of Medici some time after Opat's feast, and the need to bake the books from time to time in order to keep them from getting damp.

"Dear Davishur," as soon as he pushed the door into the study, the Commander heard someone talking to Davishur, he pursed his lips and showed a smile, "I have collected the report you want, maybe you want to hear my report first." ”

Zagan, who was talking to Davishur, heard someone interrupt his words for the first time, and a slightly unhappy look rose on his face.

But when he turned around and saw who it was, a bright smile immediately appeared on the Pasha's face, "Well, that's natural," he narrowed his eyes, "It turns out that your Excellency the Commander, you must have something important to discuss with the Great Vishur." I ......"

“...... You don't need to shy away from it, it's about you, and it's not an exaggeration to say 'it's all you'. ”

Davishur's words made Zagan stunned for a moment, and then there was a burst of joy, he didn't expect that Pasha, who had always been excluded from the center of Medici's power, would have the opportunity to be entrusted with important tasks by the prime minister of the empire today.

"If you tell me, I will do it. ”

Zagan immediately made his stance known, and he glanced quietly at the Commander of the Wind to see if the Great Veteri's henchman's expression—if there would be a change in his writing as a result—but the result was disappointing.

The Commander didn't move, get upset, or stare at the hydraulic timer in the corner. He just stood there straight, next to a wooden chair that would make him feel uncomfortable when he sat on it. With clear, bright eyes, he looked at Davishur in the middle of the study, as if everything was as it should be.

"This is a statistical report on the price trend of gold in the past month. ”

There was no movement from David, and the pile of papyrus that was held in the arms of the Commander of the Wind was like a butterfly, fluttering and hovering around Zaganpasha, encircling him.

The ruler of the archipelago was amazed and wanted to touch the papyrus with line drawings and many numeric symbols that were difficult to understand for a while, but the paper dodged his fingers like real butterflies.

"Just look at it. Papyrus is prone to breakage, and the results of this statistic are not easy to come by, and they will have to be archived later. ”

"It's nature, ......nature," replied Zagan, who no longer raised his hand, but looked down at the papyrus, and looked at it for a long time with a blank expression. "A hundred years ago, the gold of the ash world was almost exhausted. Over the past 100 years, as this precious metal has become more scarce, so has its price...... But why has the price of gold been falling lately, and has anyone discovered new deposits, or has someone dug up a lot of ancient gold from the ground and sold it on a large scale?"

I have to admit that the analytical ability of this archipelago leader Pasha is still relatively meticulous. It's just that he hasn't had any contact with the Scales of the Eternal Order Chamber of Commerce before, so he doesn't have the opportunity to obtain the gold currency that the Chamber of Commerce uses for delivery and settlement.

Of course, Davish didn't want to test his guessing ability, so he told him the answer bluntly: "It's the Eternal Order Scale Chamber of Commerce of the Dragon Pasha," he explained, "That Chamber of Commerce used to settle its own gold currency when purchasing goods from foreign countries for some time. The source of his gold could be the treasure left in the Blue Dragon's lair, though it is unlikely, or he could have discovered a new gold mine or dug up an ancient treasure from the ground. ”

"That ......"

Zagan hesitated.

He was well aware that whoever had such a large amount of gold, or just the possibility of having a large amount of gold, would threaten that person's personal safety.

Even for a dragon, there are no exceptions.

But what does this have to do with him?

Did the Great Vishur summon himself this time to plot to seize the property of the dragon Pasha?

“...... You may be misleading about me," Zagan pondered his words, trying not to appear hypocritical, "The Archipelago is a very barren land, and there has never been a strong warrior or spellcaster there......"

"If you tell me, I will do it," the Great Vivid teased Zagan in his previous words, but that was all, "Zaganpasha, your imagination is a little too rich. I've come to you only in the hope that you will be able to borrow some gold from the dragon Pasha to solve the problems caused by the Usang slaves, preferably for a good reason. ”

Zagan was surprised: "Loan?"

"Gold," Davishal nodded, "it wouldn't seem strange these days that only you and Khalil Pasha would come into contact with that dragon Pasha. I will pay you the principal amount of the gold loan that needs to be repaid according to the current real-time gold price on that statistical file...... About half a million Inkite, which should be enough. ”

"As for the interest," added Davisher, "I will do my best to fight for the management of the Usang slaves when they are transported. ”

It wasn't until David's assurance that Zaganpasha's frowning brow soothed.

The two continued to talk about a number of topics, but most of them revolved around the question of "how to deal with Quest".

When Zagan left Davidshur's study, he couldn't help but glance at the Captain of the Wind who had been like a carved stone sculpture of wood, and saw that he was still standing in place, not moving even a half step away.

"What a weirdo. Zakan muttered quietly, and then walked away.

"Greed blinds people. ”

"Are you reminding me?"

"Of course not......"
