Chapter 216: Passionate Trading
Facing the old mayor's interrogation, Maggie thought about it for a while, and replied simply:
"We're investigating a lost ancient secret, and we've found it here, and we're looking for clues around here. So stay a few more days in Rogan Town. ”
"Investigating ancient secrets?"
When the old mayor heard this, he couldn't help but smile a little more on his face, and he was a little more disappointed.
"Didn't you come to our town to do business?"
He didn't seem to have the slightest interest in Maggie's investigation of ancient secrets, but was a little unhappy that the party didn't come for business.
"Uh..."
Maggie groaned, then looked up with a smile and asked the old mayor:
"Mayor Mare, is there any special desert specialty in Rogan Town?"
The old mayor's eyes lit up for a moment, and he immediately became very enthusiastic and said:
"Yes, yes, of course! Our town produces a kind of magic sand. Passing merchants said it was a good thing and had a very high magical value. Come, come, Lord Maggie, take a look. ”
Everyone was still eating, and the old mayor couldn't help but find a bag of sand from there.
"Take a look, Your Excellency the Magician, and see if the sand is of great value."
"Uh~"
Maggie was speechless for a while, and then she weighed the fine and white, good-looking sand on the dining table very seriously.
The other girls in the adventure group were also speechless, completely unable to understand that it was obviously a reception dinner, and the mayor of the town suddenly promoted the local "specialty sand" on the spot, which was embarrassing.
I saw that Maggie observed carefully for a while, nodded lightly, and said seriously:
"Good magic material indeed, Mayor Mare, how are you going to sell it? How many gold coins a kilogram? ”
"I'll just say, the merchants who often come to our town want this sand!"
The mayor slapped his head and said happily.
"In the case of gold coins, the merchants gave us a kilogram of gold coins, but we wanted something more than money."
"Like what?"
The mayor smiled and said:
"For example, salt, tea, sugar, cloth, fruit, flame fat, etc."
"Isn't there a shortage of water?"
An Ling asked with a wink.
Mayor Marew shook his head with a smile.
"We have a magic device for raw water in our town, and although there is not enough water, it is not enough to trade this precious sand for it."
Maggie gives Amy a look.
Amy nodded, turned to the mayor and said:
"Mayor Town, we have a lot of tea, salt, cloth, sugar and fruits, I can exchange some magic sand with you."
Seeing the excited look on the mayor's face, Amy hurriedly said:
"But Mayor Mare, it's not easy to make a deal at that late hour. Let's talk about it early tomorrow morning. Let's eat and rest first. ”
"Eat? Oh yes, everyone eat well! ”
The mayor smiled, took out a pot of sour that he didn't know how to brew, and poured it for everyone in the party.
After the full meal, the five members of the Iris Adventure Group were arranged to be in a small but clean and tidy simple farmhouse courtyard. There are not many houses, and there are only two, which is enough for five people.
"Maggie, does that sand really have magical powers? We're not going to have to suffer dumb losses just to be good people, are we? ”
In the courtyard, Talia asked Maggie a little helplessly.
Maggie washed her face with a basin of water and said, "I'm not lying, those fine sand are very good magical materials." Have the value of being acquired. ”
"But you can't use up the amount of acquisitions by yourself, right? You don't usually make magic items, do you? ”
Maggie closed one eye cutely and chuckled:
"You are stupid, such a good magic material, even if I can't use it, I can sell it to the Magic Guild after I get out of the desert. The sand sells for only one gold coin and one kilogram in the town of Logan. When you get out of the desert, you can buy ten times the price casually. Why don't you take it? ”
"Wow? So exaggerated? ”
Talia thought it was incredible.
。
"So, instead of losing, we're going to make a lot of money?"
At this time, Amy, who was on the side, couldn't help but speak:
"There are many very valuable things in the Great Desert, otherwise why would it be called a paradise for adventurers and mercenaries, a place of opportunity for buried wealth? When you come to the desert to do business, as long as you can get out alive every time, you will basically make money without losing money. ”
"We desert people have no national protection, and we are often the inferior side in front of the merchants, and we can only be raised by the other party."...
"Haha~ Sounds pretty funny."
An Ling laughed dryly, and asked Amy again:
"By the way, Amy, do we have so much tea, salt, cloth, sugar, and fruit in our hands? I guess tomorrow it's not just the mayor who will trade with us, but many villagers will trade with us. ”
Amy nodded and said:
"Don't worry, I know best what is most valuable in the desert. Tea, salt, cloth, sugar, fruits, and even spices, I have purchased a lot of stocks in advance. Before I entered the desert, I knew that we would have to make deals with the desert dwellers. ”
"Even if this desert adventure is fruitless, we can make a lot of money after we get out of the desert by doing business."
"Oh~ I see."
An Ling nodded with a teachable expression.
Maggie also smiled on the side and said:
"Well, doing business is not the focus of our actions. It's just a way for us to build a good relationship with the townspeople. Again, we're going to focus on Karin's wand. ”
"But the sand that the mayor showed us today gave me a clue. They can find this sand in this desert. This means that there must be unusual magical anomalies in the desert around here, and we may be in the right place. ”
"Let's rest well tonight, and tomorrow we will all ask the townspeople more questions to see if we can find clues to the royal garden of the Golden Dynasty five hundred years ago."
"Yes!"
An Ling raised his hand mischievously.
After a dreamless night, when the sun was bright the next morning, when Hina opened the wooden door in the courtyard, she couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in front of the door.
I saw the townspeople of Logan Town carrying large bags of magic sand guarding the door, and they were all impatiently waiting for the adventure group to go out to trade and exchange things. A group of people in the dark press, the scene is really lively.
Sheena couldn't cope with this kind of scene alone, so she ran back to the hospital in a completely confused state.
Afterwards, Amy and Maggie hurriedly got up and came forward, and used the tea, salt, cloth, sugar and fruits in the pocket of the space to make a "sand exchange" deal with the townspeople.
The process was generally harmonious, and the party's status in the hearts of the townspeople rose all the way.
The trade didn't stop until the morning, and after a brief break at noon, the five members of the adventure group set off in their own detachments to ask the townspeople of Logan for clues about the Lost Golden Dynasty.
