Chapter 92: Mysterious Wood Carving

Ava's words calmed down Xia Duo, the other party is a middleman, and it is inevitable to eat the difference, but it is just a matter of how much, even if you find other middlemen, you still can't escape this knife.

And if you choose a random store to sell, it is estimated that the price will be lower.

"Boss, we can use the alchemy bottle ourselves, so we won't sell it, how much is that little wood carving worth?"

This is indeed Xia Duo's true thoughts, I didn't know those bottles and cans before, but now I know that they are alchemy bottles, and it is better to keep them for myself than to sell them at a discount.

This thing is more powerful than his current spells!

And now he is more concerned about the price of that small wood carving, the previous boss turned a blind eye to other things, and he took a fancy to this at a glance, which shows that this is not an ordinary thing.

"The material of this wood carving is a bit strange, 500 gold coins, if it is more, you can take it yourself." The boss said lightly.

Xia Duo could see that the boss was a little insincere, and the price of this thing was definitely more than 500 gold coins. I was about to refuse, but I didn't expect Ava to agree, "Yes!" ”

"Good!" The boss immediately clapped his face, and the information on his face was overflowing, "Together with the previous 315 gold coins, I can give you 820 gold coins, do you want a transaction slip, or an exchange voucher?" ”

This made Xia Duo a little dumbfounded, this is decided? He hurriedly asked Ava, but Ava just gave a reassuring look and motioned for Xia Duo to choose the payment method.

Xia Duo temporarily pressed the doubts in his heart and was ready to complete the transaction first, and the boss provided two payment methods - a transaction slip and an exchange voucher.

The so-called trading bar is actually a gold bar with a fixed weight, similar to the big yellow croaker, small yellow croaker and the like on the earth.

The voucher is a piece of parchment endorsed by the lord or mage's guild, with the amount and the arcane seal for verification.

Xia Duo had never seen the transaction slip with his own eyes, but he had seen people use the exchange voucher in the Mage Tower, but this kind of thing involving magic made Xia Duo very bottomless.

Therefore, he still chose the physical transaction slip.

After receiving Xia Duo's confirmation, the boss immediately crouched down, took out sixteen gold bars two fingers wide and palm-length from behind the counter, and then counted out 20 gold coins from the money bag and placed them on the counter.

"Would you like to check it?"

Xia Duo grabbed a gold bar casually, his hand felt heavy, although he had never seen the real thing before today, but the gold coin could be touched a lot, he judged that this should be true.

Glancing at Ava again, he also nodded imperceptibly, and Xia Duo put away all the gold bars and gold coins, and packed them together with the alchemy bottles that were not for sale.

He walked out of the leather shop after Ava, and the enthusiastic voice of the boss behind him came out, "Two of you, come back next time!" ”

……

Coming out of the leather shop, a little away, Xia Duo couldn't wait to ask, "Ava, that little wood carvingβ€”"

"The material of that little wood carving is part of the trunk of the weir tree, it is a rather rare tree, the elves value this kind of tree very much, but humans are not necessarily, the small wood carving itself is not worth 500 gold coins."

"Then why did the owner of the leather shop pay 500 gold to buy it?"

"Maybe that statue has some special meaning." At this time, Ava was also a little skeptical of her own judgment, but the unique silver light that loomed was indeed the material of the weir tree!

"If that's the case, then the price should have risen just now, why did you agree so quickly?" Xia Duo had a bit of a complaint in his words.

He was indeed ready to raise the price just now, but at that time, Ava had already agreed, out of trust in Ava, so he didn't continue to ask for the price, and now it depends on what Ava says.

Ava said, "I saw that he was eager for that little wood carving, and if the price was raised, we might not be able to get out, so I immediately agreed, and besides, he estimated the value of the previous things a little more, and if it were elsewhere, it would only be estimated at about 200 gold coins." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Xia Duo thought that there was an elf silk scarf in those things, he had seen the selling price in the Midsummer Festival - 200 gold coins, and now so many things added up to 200, this gray middleman is too good at making money!

Thinking about the increase that Ava said, you can't get out of the store, this can't be considered gray anymore, it needs to be called black.

"Ava, thank you this time."

Ava didn't answer, her figure was hidden in the darkness, and Xia Duo didn't say anything more, preparing to dispose of the dozen pounds of trading slips, which were much easier to deal with than those loot that needed to be valued.

It's essentially a currency, just buy it.

……

South Zone, Eagle Secret Technique Shop.

The last time Xia Duo came here, his hand was still tight, and he only bought a 1-ring [Summoning Mount] scroll and left, this time he brought more than 800 gold coins, which is much more abundant.

"What do you want? Hurry up, we're closing! ”

A middle-aged man who looked like a steward was supporting two servants to count the goods, and saw that Xia Duo's dress attitude was quite perfunctory.

"Bang".

Xia Duo put the transaction slip on the counter, and then the steward was a little more serious, and asked Xia Duo to continue counting, "Guest, what do you need?" ”

"Magic Scroll."

"Then you're the right guest, if you want to talk about which Chamber of Commerce has the most magic scrolls and the most complete number of magic scrolls in Saville, it's our Eagle Chamber of Commerce, I don't know what kind of scroll the guest wants."

Before coming, Xia Duo had already thought about it, the first choice was to save his life, the second was to run, and the last was to be aggressive, "I need 5 copies of [Mage Armor], 5 copies of [Summoning Mount], 1 copy of [Protective Arrow], and 1 copy of [Resistance to Energy Damage]. ”

The steward's eyes lit up, and after a while, he said, "700 gold coins." ”

This price is obviously beyond the usual price, but in the seller's market, Xia Duo is also helpless, if he is a full-fledged mage, it would be good.

"Yes. Just take a Mithril pen. ”

"Thisβ€”" the steward prolonged, "a Mithril pen costs at least 50 gold, and you're too greedy!" ”

"Huh."

Xia Duo recognized the Mithril Pen, although it did not improve him for the time being, but when he became an official mage, he would have to use the Mithril Pen to make magic scrolls.

In addition, he still uses an ordinary quill, which feels very uncomfortable, and of course he has to change his equipment when he has money.

"Boss, the orc tide is over, you still charge 700 gold coins for these scrolls, this is greed!"

"Guest, you can't say that, the latest batch of caravans coming to Savile will not come until next spring, and our store is running out of stock, and this price is not high, not at all."

"The caravan will come next year, but not many people will go out of town in winter, how many sales are in winter in previous years, the boss should know best!"

The steward looked at Xia Duo again and said seriously, "Does this guest want to join our Eagle Chamber of Commerce?" The salary of the mage apprentice was doubled, and the official mage was doubled again. ”

Of course, Xia Duo righteously refused, and then the two went back and forth a few times before the price was finalized.
