Alvin came from the southernmost province of the Grimm Empire in the Roland Continent, Qiyan Province, and their caravan set out from the Qiyan Seaport, bypassing the Savage Swamp Lands and not going to the Etia Alliance Kingdom like other caravans, but all the way north to the Frozen Sea, which is the dwarven kingdom in the northwest corner of the Roland Continent.

In fact, trade between the Grimm Empire and the Dwarven Kingdom has been going on for thousands of years, and the Dwarves here have always been the staunchest allies of the Imperials.

The people of the Grimm Empire are very fond of using the refined iron ingots smelted by the dwarves to make equipment, so there are many merchant groups that will purchase a large number of refined iron ingots from the Dwarven Empire and transport them back to the Grimm Empire to sell to the blacksmith workshop, and the mining and forging technology of the Dwarven Kingdom is more advanced than that of the Empire.

This time, Darwin's caravan sold a large number of silk fabrics in the dwarven kingdom, and purchased magical machines such as floating devices, magic furnaces, ore grinders, and ore refining devices, most of which are said to be design drawings left over from the goblin civilization, and only the dwarves have really mastered the manufacturing technology.

Originally, Darwin's caravan wanted to take advantage of the midsummer season to cross the frozen sea and arrive at Xinghai City, the northernmost part of the Grimm Empire, in Sloit Province, and then Xinghai City went all the way south back to Qiyan Harbor, so that the journey happened to sail around the Roland continent.

But when I was in the Dwarf Realm, I heard that the plane war of the Grimm Empire had spread to the southern provinces, and the most surprising news was that this time the Holy Legion of the Temple of Liberty took the initiative to withdraw from the Imperial Alliance, and all the battle priests and priests would not participate in the plane war, which directly led to the Grimm Empire's Constructed Knights being on the disadvantaged side in the plane war.

At this time, the dark forces of the Abyss Hell are invading all planes on a large scale......

During this time, the Empire's planes rich in magical herbs were at war.

Almost overnight, the price of magic potions in the Grimm Empire increased several times.

Although this incident was an unprecedented disaster for the army of the Grimm Empire, it was an unprecedented business opportunity for the merchants of the Grimm Empire.

Any business, as long as it can seize the opportunity, has a high chance of making money.

Darwin immediately decided to sail the fleet across the Endless Sea to the Elven Continent to purchase magical herbs and magic potions.

Darwin knew that elves liked beautiful things, so he wore and carried a lot of handicrafts, paintings, artistic gold and silver utensils, and of course, a lot of magic crystals.

This time, the magical herbs were purchased in Castletown City, and these crafts, paintings, and gold and silver utensils have all been exchanged for magic crystals.

Yesterday, Darwin had already negotiated with Woods and Claire that the deal would be settled with magic crystals.

It was only before the trade that Darwin, a brilliant businessman, casually sold the goods on their ship to the trio, and Roy was curious about the magic airship and asked.

Seeing that Roy seemed to be interested in the floating device, Darwin said to the trio:

"Would you like to go to the cabin and see the floating? It's right in the bilge of this ship! ”

Woods and Krell looked at Roy.

Roy nodded decisively and said, "Yes." ”

This five-masted sailing ship is much larger than Roy's Black Pearl, and the ship's bilge space is also very large, but the air in it is not circulated, and everyone feels a little depressed after entering the bilge, and several human crew members hurriedly opened the ventilation window on the ship, which feels much better at this time.

There were a lot of big guys in the bilge, almost all covered with tarpaulins, and large wooden boxes stacked on top of each other, with some hay between them.

At the suggestion of the merchant Darwin, the four crew members worked together to carry a large wooden box to the door, and then used a crowbar to open the wooden box, which contained a floating device that looked like an airplane engine, the whole thing was a metal frame, and many parts were plated with a layer of Mithril, and many intricate magical runes were engraved on it.

"This is the Levitation Device?" Roy looked curiously at the brand-new floating device and asked Darwin.

"The brand new Hummingbird 5 can hold up twenty tons of cargo at full capacity, but when this thing is running, it burns magic crystals very much." Darwin said proudly.

Roy felt cold to the touch when he touched the frame of the floating device, it must have been forged from metal.

"How much does it cost to buy a flotation device?" Roy asked curiously.

"Two hundred magic crystals, we bought them from the dwarves for this price, and now we will give them to you, and we don't plan to make your money, so we should make friends and open up a business route." Darwin, the merchant, said very boldly.

Roy pursed his lips secretly, he didn't believe that the merchant Darwin would sell this floating device to himself without making a penny.

However, Roy then thought about it, and it seemed that it was not impossible to buy a few floating devices......

He pointed to the large pile of goods covered with tarpaulin, and asked curiously, "What is it over there?" ”

"A new type of magic forge, the latest magic forge from the Dwarven Magic Forge Workshop." Darwin said casually: "In order to transport this big guy to the ship, I almost dismantled the ship at Tanton Harbor in the first place......"

The four crew members lifted the tarpaulin that covered the magic furnace, and a large furnace came into Roy's eyes.

If it weren't for Roy's exposure to this magic device in the Mithril mines, he would never feel it when he saw such a set of black and oily iron cans, but now that he saw this big guy nearly three meters tall, his open mouth never closed again.

This is much more than the magic furnace that Claire helped him find here in Castletown, and the whole furnace is filled with the smell of grease, and at first glance it is a brand new magic machine.

Moreover, Roy has several mines on the Pagisto Plateau, and many abandoned mines are essential if they want to get back up and running.

Seeing Roy's appearance when he looked at the magic furnace, Darwin immediately concluded that Roy had a certain understanding of this magic machine, and immediately followed Roy to introduce the characteristics of this magic furnace.

Later, Roy was introduced to the Ore Grinder and the Ore Refining Device, two of the mine's usual magic machines, and Roy showed great interest.

Seeing these large magical machines crowded into the cabin, Roy hesitated a little, because due to the limited capacity, he was not sure if he could transport these magical machines to the Pagisto Plateau.

Roy then asked Darwin, "How many floats do you have?" ”

"Sixteen, I originally planned to build a magic airship after returning to Strange Rock City." Darwin, the merchant, hesitated.

"Well, I've got all these floating devices!" Roy said briskly.

"I see you're also interested in the Magic Furnace, don't you think about it?" Darwin tried to sell it.

"It's too heavy, my mine is a bit remote, and there's no way to transport these big guys up for the time being......" Roy regretted a little.

Darwin glanced at the wooden boxes containing the levitation devices and smiled.

"If you hadn't bought the levitation device, maybe it would have been a problem, but since you have bought the float device, transporting these large magical machines will not be a problem...... So you can use the Floating Device to lift the Magic Forge up, as long as you have a few horses in front of you, even if you want to pull this big creature to the top of the mountain, it's not a problem! ”

Roy's eyes lit up slightly when he heard Darwin say this.

Transporting large magical machines to the plateau with a levitation device is indeed a solution......

Roy walked over to the Magic Forge and ran his fingers over the magic runes on the metal surface, showing that he was familiar with the structure of the Magic Furnace.

It was only then that Darwin realized that in addition to buying a large number of magical herbs, he had actually bought some metal ingots.

It goes without saying that these guys may still have the mines in their hands.

Then the sales pitch should be a little more powerful, so Darwin focused on the role of the ore refining unit.

"This is an ore refining unit, and its main function is to refine some of the excess impurities of low-quality ore, which can greatly improve the utilization rate of ore......," Darwin chattered.

"This grinder is also very good......"

"Then it's all about it."

Roy casually agreed.

For a moment, the merchant Darwin did not react, he froze in place, then stared at Roy slightly, and asked cautiously:

"Are you saying you're going to buy all of these magic machines?"

"That's right, please calculate how many magic crystals are needed to buy them all......" Roy said very cheerfully.

Darwin licked his lips, but he didn't expect that he was just a little impulsive, and after selling it twice, he actually sold all these big pieces of iron in the ballast......

Unexpectedly, Roy actually bought the Magic Levitation Device, the Magic Furnace, the Ore Grinder, and the Ore Refining Device one after another.

After some negotiation, the two sides finally decided to barter, and after conversion, Roy actually spent more than 50,000 magic crystals in one go and got 130,000 magic crystals.

Darwin also had a crew work together to pull the big guys out of the bilge, which was no easy task, and almost all the seamen on all seven ships were used.

Soon, the deal was closed.

Roy waited for the crew to unload the magical machinery he had bought onto the docks.

In fact, there are very secret slides in the bilge of the ship, and there are very secret doors on the side of the bilge. It took nearly a hundred young crew members to pull the magic furnace out of the cabin.

As the magic furnace was transported to the docks, the ore grinder and refining device behind it were also transported out.

Darwin, a businessman, has always been by Roy's side, and when he saw Roy's appearance as a human, he talked about the customs of the Grimm Empire, and suggested that Roy must go to the Grimm Empire to take a look if he has time.

Roy was curious about the food of the Grimm Empire, and heard Darwin say that everyone mainly eats a kind of wheat cake, which made Roy have some expectations.

He ate fruit and grilled fish in Castletown, and he was tired of eating it for a long time.

Before they knew it, the two talked about the Temple of Liberty, and Darwin told Roy that there was a Temple of Liberty in almost every city in the Grimm Empire, and almost all the people of the empire believed in the Lady of Liberty.

The area of the Grimm Empire is probably larger than the entire Elven Realm, and the Grimm Empire also has a teleportation hall, which can teleport from one city to another, and the only drawback is that the teleportation fee is very expensive.

In addition, there are magic airships navigating each city in the Grimm Empire, and those airport towers are a part of the city's scenery......

After seeing the transaction, all the magic equipment was moved to the port dock, but there were still 130,000 magic crystals flowing into Roy's pocket, Darwin thought about it, and continued to sell to Roy.

"These are all machines carefully built by dwarven craftsmen, do you need a printing magic loom?"

Roy shook his head.

He had mines, but no textile mills......

The magic loom, tsk, Roy was not interested in the slightest, so he asked curiously:

"How long did it take you to cross the Endless Sea?"

"If it's just the Endless Sea, it's almost eight months to pass through this sea, but it's not just the Endless Sea, but also the Twin Seas and the Seventh Sea ......," Darwin told Roy.

Speaking of this maritime trade route, Darwin naturally talked about it with relish, and he could tell a lot of anecdotes about the sea casually.

He seemed to have said everything, but he didn't show Roy the sea route......

In the eyes of Darwin the Merchant, the grey dwarf robbers were the least of them, daring to roam the west coast of the Endless Sea.

Roy was to leave Castletown in the evening on a supply ship from the Silver Pegasus Legion and rush to Partington Island.

So he asked Claire to rent a warehouse near the docks, and move all these goods to the docks' warehouse, and there was no need to transport these magic machines to Padstow City for the time being, and these valuable goods were still safer in Castleton City for the time being.

And Roy is not on the Pagisto Plateau, and there is no way to distribute these magic machines.

Everything will have to wait until he returns from the Queen Ivanie Islands.

In addition, the alchemy workshop in Castletown is about to shut down, and Woods has to go to Padstow to deliver a batch of goods.

……

Roy takes Miss Woods Tiffany aboard a supply ship, where Woods will disembark at Partington Island and reach Paddestow through the portal.

Roy takes Miss Tiffany to Key West......

After boarding the medium-sized sailboat, Miss Tiffany had a faint smug look on her face and kept waving down.

Moira looked at Sabrina with some reluctance, she also wanted to go to the West Key, but unfortunately Sabrina stopped her

Claire also waves goodbye to Roy on the docks, and he is a little disappointed that he can't talk to Roy about music.

The supply ship was loaded with supplies in the port of Castletown before sailing out of the harbor and heading for Partington Island......
