Chapter 141: How much and how much you want
In the evening sunset, when Angelina reluctantly reached into her arms and carefully took out the precious treasure, everyone present held their breath and couldn't help tiptoeing -
Well, what a precious treasure could be for Angelina to cherish so much, maybe it was a ruby necklace left behind by her mother, maybe it was an alchemical item from an ancient ruin, maybe it was a mysterious map of the Pirate King's treasures, maybe it was ......
Sorry, the answer was all wrong!
In fact, the treasure that Angelina reluctantly took out was just a seventy percent new book, and on the delicate cover with a faint fragrance of ink, the dark blue title of the book was clearly visible - Princess Huanzhu!
Poof! At this moment, seeing this familiar title, Lin Taiping suddenly had an urge to squirt water, braise you and steam, if I remember correctly, this seems to be the fourth episode of "Princess Huanzhu" that I provided a creative plot a month ago and forced Instein to rush to write overnight, and it was divided and snatched up by those booksellers as soon as it was written......
Hell, isn't this set of books supposed to be released in the Horn Sea, how did it spread so quickly, it spread to the Chaos Sea in just one month, and the most important thing is that looking at Angelina's look like a treasure, it seems that she has been keeping this novel close to her, and she even has to hold it in her arms when she sleeps.
Of course, it doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that Angelina will actually take out this novel to pay off her debts, just kidding, even if this romance novel is very popular in the Horn Sea, but at most it will sell for two gold coins, Angelina actually takes it out now to pay for hundreds of gold coins, do you really think Krent is an idiot?
It turns out that Krent really looks like an idiot!
The moment he saw the sixth episode of "Princess Huanzhu", Krent was dumbfounded at first, and then suddenly slammed the table and jumped up with a flushed face. Even his voice trembled: "See the undead!" Angelina, where did you buy it, why didn't you take it out earlier...... Well, don't say anything, I'll give you two hundred gold coins!"
Lin Taiping slipped on the soles of his feet, and almost staggered on the tent, braised you to steam, did I hear it wrong, this romance novel is actually worth two hundred gold coins, can it be said that the chaotic sea has been inflated to this extent. Two hundred gold coins is only enough to buy a book?
"What's all the fuss?" Baizu and a large group of orcs turned their heads to look at him with strange faces, "Lin, you don't know? These books are the most popular luxury goods in the Chaotic Sea, and the children of those noble ladies and wealthy merchants will carry them to the ball every day, and if anyone hasn't read them, they will be directly regarded as dirt buns." ”
That's right. As Baizu said, about two or three months ago, an ocean-going merchant came to trade in the chaotic seas, and was visiting a certain high lord. He took out a few sets of books, including "Princess Huanzhu", and gave them as gifts to the wife and daughter of the great lord.
Unsurprisingly, as in the Horn Sea, these books with novel content are especially "Princess Huanzhu". Immediately it spread at an astonishing speed, and soon became a popular fashion in the entire upper circle, and those noble ladies and ladies were fascinated by it. After reading the first episode, I want to read the second episode, after reading the second episode, I want to read the third episode, and after reading the third episode, I want to read the fourth ......
It's a pity that the fourth episode hasn't come out yet, and the resentful ladies and ladies are extremely depressed, searching everywhere for the sequel to "Princess Huanzhu", and even offering a high-priced bounty, it is said that on a certain big island in the north, the duchess there has already offered a high-priced bounty, as long as someone can send the fourth episode of "Princess Huanzhu" to her, she is willing to pay 400 gold coins!
Four hundred gold coins, a full four hundred gold coins, the merchants who heard the news were all crazy, and immediately rushed out like a swarm to look for the sequel to "Princess Huanzhu", but they were doomed to be disappointed, because the fourth episode of "Princess Huanzhu" had not been written at all...... To be more precise, at that time, Lin Taiping was in the Ivory Island Manor, holding a barbecue meeting with the pig Instein and them very happily, completely ignoring the resentful expressions of a group of booksellers outside the door.
What's more, no one knows where these books come from, the first ocean-going merchant to come with books has already left the Chaos Sea, even if he wants to find him and ask, he can't find it, in fact, even if he is still in the Chaos Sea, he will never tell the origin of these books, because fools know that monopoly is the best way to make money.
Therefore, two months have passed, and no one has been able to find more books, and the only clue that everyone knows is that the author of these books is a person named Lin, as for what is the identity and origin of this person, and where he is, these are all mysteries.
In this case, these sought-after books are even more scarce and expensive, taking the most popular "Princess Huanzhu" as an example, only a dozen copies are divided by those ladies and ladies, and they are not borrowed at all as treasures, only their best and best girlfriends handkerchiefs are handed over, and they have the honor to borrow "Princess Huanzhu", and hand-copy a copy to take back to collect...... By the way, even these error-ridden manuscripts have sold for dozens of gold coins on the market.
"Uh, that's okay?" Lin Taiping was really speechless when he heard this.
What can I say, I can only say that backward means of communication kill people, in this world where information transmission is slow, the Horn Sea and the Chaos Sea are only separated by a month's voyage, but they are actually separated by a dimensional space...... I had known that these books were sold at sky-high prices, so I directly organized an ocean-going fleet and shipped tens of thousands of copies here to sell!
He was sighing here, Christine not far away, had been surrounded by hundreds of people, and the dark businessmen who got the news rushed one after another, and several businessmen squeezed out of the crowd, took the book "Princess Huanzhu" from Christine's hand and flipped it over, and suddenly said with excitement on his face: "The fourth episode, this is the fourth episode that has just come out...... Christine, where did you get it?"
"What do you mean by robbery?" Christine rolled her eyes angrily, holding the book to her chest as if it were a treasure, "Hmph, when I went to sea last month, I happened to encounter a blood-soaked fleet to rob a merchant ship, and then ......"
Then, in line with the principle of being a bastard if you have a advantage, Christine immediately rushed up with the orc pirates, and when collecting the loot, she found this copy of "Princess Returning Pearls" from the captain's room of the merchant ship, unfortunately, everyone on the merchant ship was killed by the blood-soaked soldiers, so even if Christine wanted to know the origin of "Princess Returning Pearls", it was impossible.
What a pity!
Hearing this, all the businessmen present were full of disappointment, and couldn't help but sigh in unison, damn it, even if there is a living mouth, then we can know the origin of "Huanzhu Gege", when the time comes, everyone will go over together, buy a large number of them and come back to make a fortune, maybe if you are lucky, you can also find the famous writer Lin ......
"Ahem, who called me?" Lin Taiping touched his chin speechlessly, and said in his heart that everyone else would forget it, Angelina knew that my name was Lin Taiping, but there was no trace of association and suspicion?
Well, the devil knows why this is happening, but there is no doubt that Angelina has now become the focus of everyone's attention, and Krent is afraid that other merchants will snatch it, so he immediately does not hesitate to increase the price: "Three hundred gold coins! Angelina, we are old friends, I will never pit you, how about three hundred gold coins?"
"It's only three hundred!" Angelina was still a little disappointed, and couldn't help but look at the merchants around her, "I said, is there anyone willing to pay a higher price, I'm not greedy, as long as it's enough for me to heal them and repair the ship." ”
There really isn't, those businessmen have been thinking about it in their hearts for a long time, but they still hesitate and shake their heads, they are not fools, this "Princess Huanzhu" is indeed a very popular luxury, but three hundred gold coins to buy a book, this is almost a sky-high price, no matter how fanatical those ladies and ladies are, they will never take out thousands of gold coins to lose.
"A little higher, even a little higher. Angelina looked at Krent pitifully, "Honestly, this is my favorite thing, and if it weren't for raising money, I wouldn't have sold it, so I'd better add a little more." ”
"Three hundred and fifty gold coins!" was so creepy that Crent could only reluctantly take another step, "Seriously, if it weren't for the high bounty offered by the Duchess, I wouldn't have dared to buy a book with more than three hundred gold coins, Angelina, you would be content." ”
It's not okay to be satisfied, Angelina sighed helplessly, and could only hug "Princess Huanzhu" tightly, and after a few minutes of nostalgia, she reluctantly put it on the table: "Okay, that's the price, plus what I have now, a total of seven hundred and sixty-two gold coins, can you owe the remaining two hundred gold coins first?"
"What do you say?" Krent looked at her with a bitter face, "Angelina, you still owe me a few hundred gold coins before, and what installments do you have, not even counting the interest, plus the current ......"
Well, there is no need to say anything, Angelina sighed helplessly, and began to struggle again about whether to repair the ship or save people first, looking at her with tears in her eyes, and wiping her tears pitifully: "Eldest sister, I am still a virgin, and I am still a single heir of three generations, for the future of our centipede clan, you must save me." ”
You're a virgin ghost!" Angelina expressed extreme disdain for this, but finally sighed, made a decision with a struggling face, and pushed the "Princess Huanzhu" with body temperature forward: "Okay, I decided, then help Baizu ...... first"
Before the words fell, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind and gently pressed on the cover of "Princess Huanzhu".
Everyone was taken aback, and they all turned their heads to look, and in their surprised sight, Lin Taiping patted the dust on the white robe, walked out leisurely, and met the strange eyes of Angelina and Krent, and happily showed eight white teeth.
"Mr. Krent, please go and gather the men who repair the ship, and then prepare the secret medicine for the hundred feet...... That's right, we both want it, some more weapons and armor, well, on fighting!" (to be continued......)
