Chapter Forty-Seven: The Coming of the Elves
Slaves are not uncommon on the Talamia 6, and they are even very common. The vast area of Talumia is dozens of times the total area of the earth, and the area of 6 is hundreds of times, and in such a vast land, there are many races, countries and forces.
Most of the countries on Talumia 6 do not prohibit the slave trade, and whenever there is a war between races, countries, and even forces, there will always be captives, which provides the best hotbed for the slave trade.
In the original plan set by Ai Wo and Xu Yue, the first step was to hire a mercenary group to protect themselves from the initial period of weakness, and then the second step was to accumulate enough funds to buy a large amount of slaves. A slave who is forbidden by magic, and whose life and death are controlled by his master, is the best choice for Xu Yue and Ai Wo, who want to quickly expand their power.
Of course, this is only if their subsequent transactions with the elves can go smoothly. Half of the 300,000 gold coins obtained from the first transaction were divided by Ai Wo, and they were generally stored on a gold coin memory card and handed to Xu Yue. But this money is not enough for him to pay off the Magic Guild. Whether the purchase of slaves and the remaining debts can be paid off this time depends on whether the transaction with the elves can be carried out smoothly.
Because the orcs used bandits and exorcism to drive away monsters from the Tarela Forest to nearly cut off the trade routes between the Tarela Forest and the outside world, there were few caravans that could send goods into the Tarela Forest except for a few lucky merchants like Ivo. Therefore, the elves attached great importance to Ivo, a merchant who could provide a large number of pure containers for wartime resources, as can be seen from just looking at the two high-level elves who came with him this time.
This time, the amount of pure containers demanded by the elves was very large, and it was almost ordered in the amount demanded by a national power. This also shows that the scale of this war may not be small. The goods of more than 800,000 gold coins, and about half of them are still low-scale pure containers, so many goods are obviously not the storage ring that Xu Yue lent to Ai Wo.
Xu Yue discussed with Aiwo later, and decided that Aiwo would rent a large warehouse after arriving in Black Rock City, and then Xu Yue would secretly put all the storage in it. If you trade in Komodo Town, there are so many caravans that come to Komodo Town every day, and it is almost clear what goods are coming. It's hard to explain how these pure containers suddenly appeared. As for how Xu Yue sent such a large batch of goods to Black Rock City and transported them to the warehouse, Ai Wo was smart enough not to ask any questions.
After discussing the matter with Aiwo, Xu Yue covered his whole body with his cloak again, and then carefully opened the door and left. However, just as he wanted to leave the Night Song Tavern and return to his residence, there was a sound in the room where the two elves lived in the distance, which made Xu Yue suddenly taken aback, and quickly opened the door of his previous room and walked in.
After locking the door from the inside, he listened quietly behind the door to the movement in the hallway. There was the sound of two people's footsteps walking up, but the sound was so soft that it was hard to hear clearly if you didn't listen carefully. What made Xu Yue frown was that the footsteps stopped after coming to the room he was in.
The next moment, there were two knocks on the door, which made Xu Yue's brows furrow even tighter. Obviously, these elves were coming for him, and if you look at the situation, it is estimated that the action he just entered Ivou's room was actually manifested by these two elves. However, the two elves did not come directly to the door, but only found his room alone and knocked on the door after they had finished talking.
After Xu Yue thought about it, he cast a zero-level magic 'voice changing technique' on himself. This little magic can change his voice.
"Who?" a hoarse voice came out of his mouth.
"May the light of nature shine upon you. Hello sir, we are from the Tarela Forest, we would like to talk to you about some things, may I let us in?" said a crisp-sounding voice outside the door.
"I'm sorry, I don't know you! and it's getting late, so please come back. Xu Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, and then said decisively.
"I'm sorry sir, and I took the liberty of bothering you so late, but we have no ill intentions. In fact, we know that you are the one behind Mr. Evo who provided the pure container. And we came this time because we also have a business we want to discuss with you in detail. One of the two people outside the door whispered.
After hearing this, a glimmer of brilliance flashed in Xu Yue's eyes, and in just a few seconds, he guessed the cause and effect. The elves did value Evo and the goods he brought, but it was clear that they were not ignorant of the goblin that often appeared in the forests of Thrila.
A goblin who could only have set up a stall for goods suddenly took out goods worth 300,000 gold coins, and even an idiot would suspect that there was someone else behind the goblin. And although the elves do not intend to repay their debts, they are not willing to deal with only one agent. So they not only sent someone to follow Aivo back, but also wanted to directly find the person behind Aivo to trade, so that they could better grasp the initiative.
Xu Yue, who guessed the cause and effect, was silent for a while, weighed it in his heart, and only after the two elves outside the door were a little impatient did he speak: "If you have business, you can talk to Aiwo." He has carte blanche to represent my will. ”
Xu Yue's words obviously surprised the two elves at the door, in their hearts, the positioning of Ai Wo was just the role of an agent, and it was definitely the people behind Ai Wo who could make up their minds after encountering a big matter. But looking at the other party's attitude now, it is clear that Aivo is not just an agent.
However, the elves at the door did not give up wanting to contact Xu Yue, and an obscure fluctuation suddenly flashed on the body of one of the elves, and Xu Yue suddenly realized that this fluctuation was exactly the same as the spell fluctuation on the 'sound-covering disk' that Ai Wo carried.
The elf no longer lowered his voice after casting the spell, and he straightened up and said, "I don't think Your Excellency understands the importance of this transaction we are talking about. Your Excellency Aiwo should have already told you, this time we are going to order 800,000 gold coins. But that's actually just a small part of the order. ”
Xu Yue's heart trembled after listening to the elf's words, to be honest, when he heard that the other party had ordered nearly 800,000 gold coins at a time, he already felt that the other party's hand was very big, but he didn't expect that this was only part of it. So how much gold do you need for all the goods? a million or two million?
"Still a pure container?" Xu Yue asked through the door with an eyebrow raised.
"Pure containers indeed. But not those with five to seven scales. In fact, it is our temple that purchases pure containers this time, and the pure containers purchased need to be at least the level of the eight-scale containers in the previous shipment, if you can provide nine-scale pure containers, we will have as many as we want!" said the elf at the door with a smile.
Xu Yue was silent after hearing the other party talk about the pure containers of eight and nine scales. Although the Pure Vessel is only stored as a container, it is much cheaper than the magical materials that are contained in the container. But once the scale of a pure container rises above eight scales, then the container itself can definitely be considered as a valuable item as well.
The materials that need an eight-scale container to hold are generally only available to some high-level professionals or large forces, so those who need an eight-scale pure container are basically some large forces. This is not to believe that with their money-making ability, they will soon be able to expand their influence to protect themselves in the face of these large forces. But the pure container of the nine scales is basically only bought by the top powerhouses and national-level forces.
It is difficult to buy a ninth-level pure container on the market, because of the lack of high-quality forbidden magic stones, which also causes the price of a nine-scale pure container to be several times more than that of an eight-scale scale. In fact, starting from seven scales upwards, almost every time there is a difference in scale, the price of pure containers will increase several times or even dozens of times.
Xu Yue's heart began to quickly weigh the pros and cons of this transaction. Not to mention the pure containers of eight and nine scales, even if it is a pure container of ten scales, he has quite a few. But with his current strength and power, once he leaks the fact that he has a nine-scale pure container, then it is easy for him to be targeted by some national-level forces. At that time, if his strength or strength is not enough to deal with these situations, then he may only have to open the space door and escape back to Earth.
The silence in the room not only did not make the two elves impatient, but made both of them have a look of surprise on their faces. What they are most afraid of is the rejection of the other party without thinking about it, and now the silence of the other party shows that there is still room for negotiation in the matter. Pure containers with a scale of more than eight are not unavailable on the market, but it is very difficult to buy a large number of pure containers of this grade at once.
"Your Excellency, please think carefully about our mention! If you are able to provide enough high-scale pure containers this time, then you will gain the friendship of the Tarela Elves. The elf outside the door added.
After struggling several times, Xu Yue still gave up the plan to sell the nine-scale pure container. With his and Iwo's current appearance, they really can't deal with the national forces in the short term. If it was just a pure container of eight scales, it would attract the attention of some large forces at most, and if their plan was successful, then it would still be within the scope of what they could handle.
"If it's an eight-scale pure container, I can provide some, but a nine-scale pure container I can only say sorry. I don't have access to such national-level strategic resources in my own way. Xu Yue's hoarse voice came from behind the door.
"Your Excellency, please think about it again......" It was clear that the elf outside the door did not fully believe his words, and said with some eagerness.
"Don't think about it anymore. I think you also know that the pure container of the nine-scale is almost strictly controlled by various countries. It's too expensive to get your hands on it, and I don't have the ability to do that. Xu Yue interrupted him.
The two elves glanced at each other and nodded helplessly, knowing that what the person inside the door said was not an exaggeration. Because of its scarce production, the pure container of the Nine Scales has always been regarded as an important resource by the national forces, and the price it takes to get it from these forces is even higher than the value of the Nine Scales container itself.
"So how many eight-scale pure containers can you provide, we need a lot this time!" an elf asked helplessly.
"You don't care how much I can provide, let's talk about how much you need at most!" Xu Yue said after thinking for a while inside the door. Since the nine-scale ones can't be sold, then try to sell as many eight-scale containers as possible to make up for the loss.
Xu Yue's words made the faces of the two elves hidden under the hood much better, although they couldn't get a pure container of nine scales, but if there were enough eight scale containers that could help the clan a lot.
"If you're going to have enough of that, we'd like to buy about five hundred eight-scale pure containers!" a sprite thought and returned a small amount.
To be honest, hearing what the elf said about this number shocked Xu Yue, he originally estimated that the other party would ask for one or two hundred at most. Unexpectedly, the other party directly quoted a figure that was more than twice his estimate.
"Five hundred? No problem! You can just talk to Ivo. He will take you to pick up the goods at that time, but we are not responsible for transporting the goods this time. Since you can send people, you want to come and have your own means of transportation. Okay, that's all for business, please come back. If there is anything in the future, you can talk to Aivo directly. Xu Yue's voice came from the door, and there was no movement after this sentence.
"Wait, Your Excellency, I think such a big business still needs to be discussed with you in person. An elf outside the door said hurriedly. But the two elves waited for a long time, and there was not the slightest movement from inside the door.
The two elves looked at each other, and one of them knocked on the door again and shouted, "Your Excellency, will you please open the door?"
After not hearing a reply, one of the elves thought for a moment, pressed his hand to the door, and sent a wave of magic from his hand through the door and swept through the room. Then he looked up and shook his head at his companion.
His companion was obviously in a hurry, and he raised his leg to kick the door open. However, his magic-wielding companion stopped him, and then his magic-wielding companion pressed his hand to the lock of the room's door and used a first-order spell, 'Lockpicking'. The next moment, I saw that the door lock of the room opened automatically, and the two looked at each other for a while, and then carefully pushed the door open and walked in.
