319. Business

Roy and Woods arrive together at the port docks.

There are quite a few goods on the dock next to the big ship, and even some wooden boxes have samples on them.

Many half-blood elves crowded the stalls, picking up some handicrafts, and the elves seemed to be interested in these handicrafts that were only available in the human realm, and of course there were other goods, but they were not as popular as handicrafts.

For example, the candlestick made of the statue of the maid, the table ornament carved into the royal lien, the complete set of knights and chess, and so on.

Roy didn't have any artistic cells in his body, and he didn't have any interest in that.

I think the kitchen utensils on the stall are very good, such as a frying pan for pancakes, a hanging pot for cooking broth, and those seasonings in bottles and jars.

He was about to forget the taste of the steak......

On a wooden box, he actually saw a milky white round flatbread, which actually exuded a faint milky smell, and it was actually a large piece of cheese.

The human crew in front of the booth saw Roy and greeted Roy cordially, but they spoke imperial Chinese, and Roy could not understand at all, so he could only respond with a polite smile.

Another trouble is that the elves only have Kohler in their hands, but not everyone can get the magic crystal.

But the goods sold by the human crew don't seem to want to be traded for Kohler.

Probably for this reason, there are many elves watching, but there are very few deals that can really be reached......

Roy was also standing in the crowd, and the elves were all chatting about the merchant ship.

I heard that these people came here to buy magical herbs.

The merchants on the ship had already negotiated with the merchants of Castletown City many times, and almost all the magic potions in the city sold them the magic herbs in stock, and a large number of goods were sent to the ship every day, and all transactions were settled with magic crystals.

Hearing these news, Roy's eyes lit up a little.

……

Andrei, the steward of the merchant navy, was not the captain of the ship, but he was solely responsible for all business on the ship.

Over the past week, André has swept away all the magic potions in Castletown.

He asked the crew to carry the ship's goods to the docks, because he found that the city of Castletown was very prosperous even for ordinary elves.

All the goods he wanted to bring with him were sold, including magic weapons and armor.

It's just that the elves are a little disdainful, and the elves think that these magic weapons and armor are not exquisite enough, and there are no fine carvings and hollow ornaments. The handicrafts are okay, and although they lack artistry and beauty, some interesting ideas are still very popular with the elves.

In fact, Andre is also reviewing this trip to the elven continent, and he actually wants to sell these weapons, shields, and armor to the elves.

In fact, in his opinion, the armor worn by the elven guards on the port docks was a work of art, and André even felt that if he purchased a batch of magic weapons and magic pattern constructs in the elven realm, he would definitely be very welcome to return to the Grimm Empire......

It's just that the magic crystals brought over need to be used for the purchase of magic herbs, and it is impossible to discount this matter at all.

In fact, in the first two days after arriving in Castletown, the sea ships were confined to the port docks, and the elves not only refused to trade with the human caravans, but even refused to disembark the crew.

Fortunately, Andre brought a lot of magic cloth this time, and it was through this that he knocked on the door of several upper-class elf nobles before he was allowed to trade in Castletown City.

The elves here have a bad impression of humans.

While humans and elves have always been allies, the elves here are very repulsive to humans.

André actually knew in his heart that one of the biggest reasons was the slave trade at sea.

Imperial nobles always like to keep a few elf slaves in the manor, and this kind of thing has become a new fashion in the Green Empire, just like whoever does not have an elf slave at home cannot be regarded as a wealthy nobleman.

It is this trend that has led to the rapid development of the maritime slave trade, and many adventuring groups and merchant groups have formed fleets to go to the elven kingdom to buy and sell slaves, not only elves, but also Naga sea tribes, dwarves, lizards, etc., and some nobles with heavier tastes will even buy subhumans, such as werewolves, kobolds, fishmen, etc.

Fortunately, this time he was very well prepared, bringing all kinds of goods, and finally there were some things that could please the upper elf nobles.

Almost all of the goods displayed on the docks now are things that some elven nobles don't look at, and it seems that ordinary elves like them very much......

Andrei began to think about ......

How exactly can you trade with these elves?

……

Roy had long noticed a human merchant in a silk robe, who looked white and chubby, with meticulously groomed hair and beard, and looked like a man who could call the shots.

He squeezed his way through the crowd and tried to get closer to the human merchant, but no one stopped him.

Woods followed Roy, staring around warily.

He had heard something about human slave ships from Miss Tiffany, Sabrina, and Moira, so he was also repulsed from the bottom of his heart......

Roy came up to Andre and asked tentatively in Elven language:

"Do you want to buy magic herbs?"

André could only understand a few words of Elven language, including the word 'magic herb'.

He turned and beckoned behind him, and a member of the Elven speaking crew walked briskly over and motioned for Roy to have something to say to him.

Roy asked again, and the crew member translated Roy's words to Andre.

Andrei nodded hurriedly and said a string of words:

"Of course, there are as many as you want, preferably Silver Leaf Grass, Pueraria Root, Imperial Blood Grass, and Golden Thorn Grass."

Although the communication is a little inconvenient, there are crew interpreters, at least they can understand what the other party is saying.

Woods muttered quietly behind Roy, "They want to buy magical herbs that can refine life potions......"

Roy didn't care about that.

It doesn't matter what kind of potion this human merchant uses these magical herbs to refine.

"Do you want to see the goods first?" Roy felt the need to show them the magic herbs.

Andre's eyes lit up when he heard the crew's translation, because he had at least seen Roy's full sincerity, so he hurriedly made an invitation:

"Of course, please come and sit on the boat and taste the black tea that is a specialty of our Roland Continent, I can take out the purchase price list, and we can sit down and talk slowly."

Roy was still very resistant to the invitation to get on the ship.

"Just talk about it here."

Roy pointed to the docks.

André didn't care about any of this, and turned to one of the ship's crew members and shouted, "Who, you go and take down the price list I let me keep in the captain's room." ”

"Okay, Steward."

The crew, who was leaning against the side of the ship to watch the excitement, responded loudly.

It didn't take long for the crew member to hand André a booklet full of elven script.

Andre unfolded the price list, which clearly marked the prices of magic herbs such as Silver Leaf Grass, Tranquility Flower, Demon Emperor Grass, etc., which was two floors higher than the purchase price given to Roy by those magic potion stores.

Sure enough, the purchase price here is relatively high.

Roy looked through it twice, felt that the price was quite satisfied, and said to Andre:

"Come with me, I'll take you to see my magic herbs, on the sea boat on the west side of the docks."

"My name is Andrey, not your name yet."

André introduced himself in a very lame Elven language.

Roy responded simply, "Roy." ”

Andrei stared at this 'human' who could not understand a little imperial Chinese, and asked the crew around him to translate: "I take the liberty of asking, are you human?" ”

"Half-elf, my mother is an elf, and I have lived in Castleton since I was a child." Roy said.

Andrei immediately put an end to the topic.

He then followed Roy out of the harbor dock with the Elven-speaking crew and stood on the beach to the west, where André saw the vine-covered ship and was shocked by it.

Originally, he thought that there was a huge ship-shaped stone sculpture here, but it was crawling with vines, but now it looked like a real five-masted sailing ship.

Moreover, the half-elf boy also ingeniously opened a door at the bottom of the ship, and everyone went directly to the bilge through this door, and climbed three flights of stairs to the deck of the big ship.

There were more than a dozen wooden boxes piled up on the side of the deck near the ship, and there were a lot of magical herbs piled up on the deck, and the three elven girls were talking and laughing about the magic herbs into the wooden boxes, and from time to time some of the dried leaves broke and fell under their feet.

Andre walked to the front of these wooden boxes, grabbed a handful of silver leaf grass from one of the wooden boxes, and found a lot of imperial blood grass from the wooden boxes on the side.

"There is no problem with the quality of these goods, is this the only thing?" Andrei asked.

"Well, there are a few more, but they haven't been screened out yet......" Roy pointed to the cabin below the deck, and as he spoke, he led them down the stairs to the bilge filled with magical herbs.

Roy opened the hatch, and André saw bundles of magical herbs stacked in the bilge, an entire cabin.

These magic herbs were actually mixed and bundled, no wonder they had to pick and choose on the deck, seeing so many magic herbs, and thinking of the three elf girls on the deck, Andre thought in his heart how long it would take them to pick out all these magic herbs.

Thinking about it, the day of trading seemed far away, so Andre said to Roy:

"If you don't have enough manpower, we can do the sorting of magic herbs."

"That couldn't be better......"

The other party is willing to help with this, and Roy is still able to accept it.

In fact, Andre was also very happy in his heart, if he sent someone to sort it, at least he didn't have to worry about this batch of goods being sandwiched......

Andre suddenly discovered that this should be the largest magic herb transaction since he arrived in the Elven Continent, and hurriedly asked with a serious face:

"These are some elementary magic herbs, I don't know how Your Excellency wants to sell them?"

Seeing that Roy didn't speak, Andre continued to explain:

"We can trade with magic crystals, or we can barter, we bring a lot of goods, as long as you can see it, and recognize the price we quoted, we can exchange!"
