The green coffee beans ended up filling seventy-four and a half barrels, nearly twice as many as the twenty-five barrels that the advance payment of V Kiel (5 gold) should have received.

The number of half a barrel, Lin directly counted it as a whole barrel. On the one hand, it is easier to calculate the amount, and on the other hand, there is one last job to ask the villagers here, that is, the problem of transportation.

Although it is said that magicians have magic such as giant force and light object art, what is the concept of a barrel of thirty kilograms, a total of seventy-five barrels? That's enough to fill a small warehouse. It's not the number that two magicians, two apprentices, and two magical beasts can take away. Not because it's too heavy, it's too much.

Therefore, the elders of the village organized all the trailers and camels in the village, and reluctantly loaded all the seventy-five barrels of green coffee beans into the car, ready to follow Lin to Wulian City for transportation.

Of course, the cost of transportation is calculated separately, and this group of people will not return empty. Lin had already contacted the elders in the village and the steward of the Chamber of Commerce, prepared a batch of grain, and waited for them to go to Wulian City to trade, and then the car could carry this batch of grain for the winter.

What surprised Lin more was that the price of the grain he bought was much cheaper than usual. And if you have to carry it yourself, there is an additional discount. This impatient selling attitude, Lin will of course be puzzled.

The speculation of grain and the annexation of land in the world of the Lost Land is not as rampant as that of ancient China. But food, no matter where it is, is considered a strategic-level material. Even the Wizards' Guild didn't dare to let the Chamber of Commerce under their command mess around with food.

If you are facing ordinary people, having no food to eat is a dead end. Therefore, no matter how expensive the grain is, you can only shed blood and tears, smile shyly, and take out the few copper horns you have to exchange for food.

But who is the Wizards' Guild against? For magicians, the so-called civilization, the so-called reason, the premise of everything is to meet the most basic requirements for survival. They are all starving to death, and the masters can't buy food, so can't they grab it?

As for satisfying the magicians and masters, and then exploiting the common people? The premise of such an act is to withstand the horn that will come out of nowhere, in order to uphold justice, rob the rich and help the poor, and kill the good people of profiteers. On earth, good people don't live long; In the Lost Land, there are some 'good guys' who are more terrible than the bad guys.

Let's talk about the current food price anomaly. Lin carefully asked the good steward, only to know that this matter was actually related to him.

As the most basic strategic material, in the face of what is expected to be a protracted and time-consuming war to resist the abyss, a leader with a little brain will not fail to stockpile. Some speculative businessmen certainly have more; And some people who have little power or wealth, of course, are also tun.

Under the nationwide movement to stock up on grain, grain prices have naturally increased steadily.

However, this abyss invasion war, which ended at an unknown time, came to an abrupt end. The demons have no intention of invading and take the initiative to close the door to the abyss. This unprecedented situation should have been a good thing for the whole world to celebrate, but those who were hoarding all kinds of supplies cried. Among them, the biggest tears were none other than the Xijia District Church.

In the spirit of fighting a big war, and it is very likely to be a bad war, the Sijia District Council is desperately hoarding all kinds of strategic materials. In anticipation of the possible loss of the front line, the supplies delivered to the Tower of the Great Sage were only a drop in the bucket. The real bulk materials are concentrated in Wulian City.

And then the war ended, and a bunch of stuff went nowhere. "So, that's the main reason why you jumped off the building and sold it."

"Jumping off a building for a sale? Ah, yes, that's a good point. It's such a feeling, yes, jumping off the building for sale. ”

Back in Wulian City, where he lived for a few days, the familiar face of the chamber of commerce steward came, mainly to deliver food to the villagers of the small village. However, after seeing Lin, he decided to stay and hang out. As for the delivery of the grain, he handed it over to his assistant and led the group of villagers to the granary.

He had a more or less complaining tone, especially looking at the innocent-looking man in front of him. But there is no way to lose his temper at this big guy, maybe many people outside hate this one, and they hate him so much, but it is not something that the chamber of commerce manager of his own small magic apprentice can bully. In desperation, he had to continue to complain:

"Your Excellency, you know. The materials hoarded by the Chamber of Commerce now are enough to be sold for a hundred years at a normal sales rate. Not to mention that there are a lot of them, there is no way to put them in this year. ”

"So, the order from above wants you to dispose of it as soon as possible?"

"I don't say it explicitly, but that's pretty much what it means. Because this kind of thing is clear, it's a bit like forcing people to die. ”

"I'm sorry for you."

"My lord, this is going to need your help. I noticed that your left eye hurts. How, the special healing potion is now on sale, XII bottle (12 bottles) for only V Kiel (5 gold). A real jumping sale. ”

It has to be said that this price has fallen below the cost price. However, potions have a shelf life, so the Chamber of Commerce has to find a way to clear it.

But when it comes to his left eye, it's not actually hurt, it's just to cover things that shouldn't be seen. Now that the manager of the Chamber of Commerce was beside him, Lin happened to ask about the key material that was scheduled to make glasses, the Snell crystal.

Snell crystal is actually a very versatile precious material, some people arrange the pseudo-forbidden demon field, what they need is the material based on Snell crystal. Because of this, crystals have also become one of the targets of the Chamber of Commerce's hoarding.

Now there is no war, and Lin asks about Snell Crystal. After a brief explanation, the manager of the Chamber of Commerce asked domineeringly: "How many M Carlo (thousand kilograms) do you want?" ”

How many materials do you need to prepare for polishing a flat glasses lens? No matter how wasteful your craft is, it is an exaggeration to take a few tons to prepare.

Knowing that you can't do any big business, you don't get discouraged by the stewardship, and you can't have a good relationship with the big customers in front of you. However, aside from business, he did have some questions, and wanted to ask the former tower master in private: "My lord, do you plan to return to the Great Sage Tower?" ”

"Someone else will dare to let me go back. After all this happened, I felt that my hopes of settling in another magic tower had become even slimmer. ”

"So, as a helper, what about the towers of other magicians?"

"Did anyone ask you to be a lobbyist?"

"Hey, hey." The steward of the Chamber of Commerce did not admit or deny it, and laughed a few times.

The facilitator is a bit like the deputy tower master. However, there is no such thing as a deputy tower master in the world of Lost Land, and although it can also control the magic tower, if the tower master kills people, the assistant who is actually the deputy tower master is also powerless to resist. Generally, the facilitators will be husband and wife, and a few will be mentors and apprentices. But it is very rare to invite an unrelated person to act as a facilitator.

Some older magicians will give them such opportunities in order to train their juniors. But Lin felt more like someone was planning to summon himself to use it, and finally use the power of life and death in the tower to get rid of it, killing two birds with one stone. It's not with the heart of a villain, the belly of a gentleman, but Lin himself is not used to sending people under the fence.

"Your Excellency, you know what. A large number of people have already approached the president, hoping to get the complete deployment map of the Great Sage's Tower. However, it is also because of this that many people feel distressed. No one can figure out your arrangement on the Tower of the Great Sage yet. So the method that everyone thinks of is to copy it completely, one stroke at a time. But here comes the problem again, the Great Sage's Tower is not complete. What should I do if I don't have that corner? There are many opinions, but no one dares to say that their methods will work. ”

"Oh."

"Well, why do you seem to be a little bit of a distracted person."

"No matter how well you behave, it has nothing to do with me. Can you not be happy? ”

Looking at someone's world-weary expression, the manager of the Chamber of Commerce couldn't hold back the accumulated curiosity and asked, "Well, my lord." What the hell did you leave the Great Sage Tower for? ”

Because he was forced away by the president...... Is it? Lin asked himself that the president's opinion certainly played a role, but it was not the real reason why he wanted to go. He said, "No one can accept that there is a demon on their doorstep." So when there is a large group of demons blocking their own door, who will insist on staying? ”

"But the demon couldn't resist the power of the Great Sage Tower, especially at the end, and killed a demon lord. This kind of record is definitely unprecedented, and whether there are chasers behind it depends on whether the follow-up magicians are careful. Coupled with the evaluation of the Great Sage Tower within the association, it has been promoted to the highest level of purple. It is said that there are still many people who award the highest grade purple to the Tower of the Great Sage. Quite a lot of whispers. ”

"But still hung up?"

"Yes, that's right. The chairman's opinion is that the evaluation of the magician and the magic tower is the first priority. If there is no actual performance, it will be tested one by one in accordance with the prescribed standards. Today, the Great Sage Tower defeated a 'Demon Lord', which is an achievement that many five-story Dharma Saint Towers have not achieved. It's a surprise that you'd give up such a tower. ”

"Ugh." With a long sigh, Lin Cai said, "Who would have thought that any tower could even hit a dozen demon lords." If I had known, I wouldn't have run away, and now I can't go back. ”

Although he said this, Lin knew that if he returned to the situation at that time, he would make the same choice again. He wouldn't want to gamble with his own life, on whether the magic tower could withstand the invasion of demons and fight against the highest life level existence in the world of Lost Land.

At that moment Harumi led in a magician. The small shawl and the golden spike line are meticulously arranged, and there is a bit of heroism between the eyebrows. This Lin had seen it before. Just looked at the chamber of commerce manager beside him, got up first, and greeted respectfully: "Shure? Ion-sama. ”

Shure? Ion, orange fruit? President Eton's students were also assigned to manage Charlie? The main manager of the Richard Fund.

After he entered the door, he greeted Lin Yiping, who had stood up, and said, "Your Excellency Tripwood, the teacher has just returned to Wulian City, and he wants me to invite you and another one, well, lich, Fin?" Maid? Tikal goes to the Middle Tower to discuss granting the status of a mage. ”
