The only person who could stand in front of Jia Kedao was the merchant who came out to greet him.

"I'm just passing through here and wanting to ask something, and you can do whatever you should do, and the merchants stay. ”

Jia Kedao said with a smile, which made most of the people in the camp breathe a sigh of relief, of course, even if they were going to do their own things, the eyes of these guys still swept over from time to time, for fear that something would suddenly go wrong and affect themselves.

The two merchants, however, waited anxiously for the dragoon's inquiry.

"I don't know what the great Dragoon wants to know, we'll be unreserved. ”

The merchant who greeted Jacodao took the conversation with courage.

Next, Jia Kedao asked a lot of things, such as where the caravan came from, what goods it carried, where it was going to go, etc., and what it was inevitable was to ask for a map drawn by the caravan.

It is important to note that from the moment any caravan is established, the places it passes through are mapped, which is a reserve that the merchants regarded as treasures.

In this otherworld, where road construction is not taken seriously, even if it is stepped on by people, it will quickly be directly covered by wild grasses and shrubs during the rainy season.

Without a map, even the most seasoned caravans could get lost.

These two caravans came from the Duchy of Tem and the Kingdom of Date respectively.

The Principality of Tem is 90% mountainous and therefore rich in all kinds of ores, while the Kingdom of Date is based on commerce. It can be called a commercial distribution center for several nearby countries.

Word spread among businessmen was fast.

After hearing that the small town of Hope near Lion City, a subordinate of the Limidi Kingdom, produced a large amount of cheap refined salt, and even luxurious white sugar, many merchants came from these two countries in an attempt to make a fortune.

These two caravans were one of them.

Of course, due to the first time they came and the short time they had, they hadn't heard any rumors about weapons and armor.

The caravan from the Duchy of Tem carried a large amount of ore, and Jakdao looked through it, most of which were iron ore and some metal ores.

In the Atlas, for most sapient species. Iron is an extremely important strategic resource. Not only do weapons and armor require a lot of iron, but they are also indispensable in agriculture.

But for Jia Kedao, these ores are a bit of a chicken.

Jacodao can buy large quantities of steel from the earth without any restrictions. And for caravans from the Duchy of Tem. It was an adventure in the first place. If iron ore is sold to countries with which the Principality of Tem does not have good relations, then it may be subject to official sanctions.

This is the gap between industrialized and primitive societies.

But Jacodao found something good in the ore.

"What is this, and how much does it cost?"

Jia Kedao asked, pointing to some ore that had been thrown into the corner.

The Tem merchant, the merchant who had come out to greet Jacodao, looked at it. A little embarrassed replied: "This is white lapis stone, a material used to make zuò stone statues, the price is very cheap, one silver coin can buy a large box, do you need it?"

In fact, the merchant was embarrassed to say that these white lapis stones were used to purchase iron ore by himself, and the usefulness of this thing was extremely limited, and the hardness was not too high, so it could only be used to carve stone statues, and as for other uses, it had not yet been discovered.

Lazurite?

Jia Kedao didn't answer, raised his eyebrows, reached out and took a fist-sized piece of white blue stone in his hand, the outside was wrapped in stone skin, Jia Kedao exerted force, the white blue stone was pulled off a piece, and what came out of it was a warm mixture of white and cyan.

Isn't this jade?

Jia Kedao had guessed a little before, but now he was sure.

This so-called white lazuli is actually a relatively inferior jade, and the texture is relatively mixed, and a lot of stone lines can be seen in it, which greatly reduces the value of this jade.

No wonder it can only be used to carve stone statues.

Jia Kedao nodded, but these inferior jades were of little value to others, but to Jia Kedao they were different.

You must know that the Dragon Tiger Chiyanding can purify jade, and after two consecutive searches, it will be difficult to get cheap jade chips even if the big gold tooth tries his best.

No way, there is a rumor in the jade market now, saying that so-and-so has developed a technology to completely melt and integrate jade, so that those jade bosses are unwilling to sell the jade shavings, preferring to keep them for themselves.

Of course, there are a lot of fakes of this stuff that were filled with resin, and there aren't many sources.

This is not good news for Jia Kedao.

You must know that for cultivators, the consumption of jade is very large.

If it weren't for the lack of jade chips, Jia Kedao would have the idea of using the purified mutton fat white jade to forge an alchemy Xiaoding.

Helplessly, even if all the jade shavings and stone skins collected by the big gold tooth for the second time were melted and purified, the mutton fat white jade obtained was only half of the amount of forging alchemy Xiaoding.

Well, now that the so-called lazuli is cheap in the Principality of Tem, there will be no shortage of jade in the future, and there may be good jade mines in the Principality of Tem, but they don't know how to use it.

But after some questioning, the merchant of the Duchy of Nathm was a little disappointed by the answer of the Duchy of Nath, there was no stone in the Duchy of Tem as described by Jakedau, at least no one had found it yet.

This made Jia Kedao quite disappointed.

To say that the difference between this white blue stone and the best jade, for Jia Kedao, is actually the difference between poor ore and rich mine.

If you have a bonanza, you can also reduce some trouble.

Even if Dragon Tiger Chiyanding was able to purify inferior jade into mutton fat white jade, it was always a labor-intensive and time-consuming trouble.

And the goods brought by the Ida Kingdom merchant this time were basically the things on the monsters.

For example, the best monster fur and magic core, which were originally the main export commodities of the Date Kingdom.

The only thing that Jia Kedao regrets is that the grades of those magic cores are relatively low, and the best one is the magic core of the wind wolf.

After pondering for a while, Jia Kedao revealed his identity to the two merchants, and expressed the hope that the merchants of the Duchy of Tem would transport as much white stone as possible to Hope Town to sell in the future, and the price would be five times higher than the normal price.

And the merchants of Date Kingdom should try their best to bring some high-level demon cores to sell, as for the price, it is two percent higher than the market price.

Jacodao's promise made the two businessmen so excited that they almost passed out. (To be continued......)
