Chapter 134: The market is rising

After solving the two hidden dangers of nightmare and shadow killing in World War I, Lu Chengfeng and the others spent an hour cleaning the battlefield and then set sail again.

The captured bandits, after having collected all their weapons and wealth, were scattered and imprisoned. The supplies found from the captured flying ship were also transported to the Sea Warehouse. Although these bandits didn't bring much with them before they set off, the two bandits combined still gave them an extra 100,000 gold.

This is the result after deducting rewards and injury compensation, and if you count those bulk elixirs, materials, and equipment, this number can be even higher.

For the sake of deterrence, after the resumption of the voyage, the three captured airships were not dismantled or abandoned, but were tied to the back of the fleet. There are lessons from the two major bandit groups, and presumably the follow-up bandits will have to weigh them carefully if they want to move them. Besides, mosquito legs are also meat. Even if these three ships are already in tatters, they can be exchanged for some pocket money by repairing them a little and selling them at a low price.

About two hours later, Lu Chengfeng and his fleet encountered a group of snaketooth bandits who were rushing here at full speed.

Although this bandit group is not as famous as Nightmare They, it is also a team that is not weak, and several leaders are all fifth-order swordsmen. Seeing the intact Sea Warehouse approaching, the snake-toothed people were very surprised. As a result, after the people who saw it saw the three small flying ships attached to the back, they realized in horror that the Nightmare Bandits who had launched the call, along with the Shadow Kill who arrived first, had been solved by the Sword Overlord!

This discovery directly dispelled the idea of the snaketooth bandit group to follow the troubled waters. They didn't even have the idea of temptation, they just turned a corner and flew away.

The bandit group that I encountered next found that the Nightmare and Shadow Kill had been solved, and most of them behaved like Snake Fang.

Some of them are not strong, and after confirming the news, they will turn around and leave. Some of the people who are a little stronger, and who doubt the Nightmare, may lose both sides of the sword and attack with the attitude of trying it out, wanting to see if they can pick up the bargain. As a result, after seeing the appearance of several high-ranking students of the sword, they immediately gave up.

It was a complete victory.

After making such a judgment, they can only lament in their hearts that they have run in vain. Of course, there are also smart and well-informed people, who are already ready to mobilize people to raid the nightmare and shadow kill the lair of the bandits. This kind of opportunity to beat the water dog is not something that can be encountered every day.

With the help of the deterrence of a big victory, Lu Chengfeng's fleet went smoothly next. Except for the occasional temptation, no bandit group dared to really attack. Finally, on the afternoon of the fifth day, when the sky was completely clear, Lu Chengfeng and the others slowly flew to the airspace of Faro Bay.

The area of this rich territory is not too large, only equivalent to two-thirds of the southeastern provinces of the Lanwu Empire. Despite this, there are many people living here, as many as 20 million. In addition, there are several natural deep-water seaports bordered by the bay to the east, and transportation and commerce are very developed. It was precisely because of this factor that the nobles of the Faroe Bay Territory had the confidence to establish a principality.

Under the guidance of Faroe Bay Airport, the fleet of the Harbor slowly docked at the port.

Unlike small airboats that no one cares about, Lu Chengfeng and his five airships are already medium-sized. As soon as the boat came to a halt, and a few members of the Sword Tyrant Mercenary Group had just disembarked when people from several trading houses rushed up and asked, "Do you have an appointment?"

"This is a fleet from Kaiyang of the Lanwu Empire, right?

"Do you already have a cooperative chamber of commerce and shipping channels?"

These enthusiastic inquiries surprised Lu Chengfeng, who was just about to get off the ship. He pointed to one of the men in a brown fur coat and asked casually, "How about the magic crystal ore, do you accept it?"

"Crystal ore?"

Several people from the Chamber of Commerce were stunned, and immediately burst out with enthusiasm, rushing over one after another, and quoted: "Accept, our Chamber of Commerce collects at a high price! Below 1,000 tons, how many you want! The price is negotiable, at least 3,500 gold coins a ton!"

"Our Chamber of Commerce also made high-level acquisitions, and the price was higher than theirs, 3,600 gold coins a ton!"

"How many do you have?"

"Dear cargo owners, don't be deceived by these two profiteers. As for the magic crystal ore, our Farowan Chamber of Commerce Alliance unified high-level acquisition, 3800 gold coins a ton, absolutely fair. No matter where you go, you won't be able to find a higher price than that. ”

3800 gold coins a ton?

Whether it was Lu Chengfeng or the high-level of the Sword Suppression Mercenary Group, their eyes lit up. When it was shipped from Kaiyang to this side, the purchase price was 2,000 gold coins a ton. When I arrived at Farowan here, before I could find someone with the approval, the price had already been raised to 3,800 gold coins. This figure has exceeded the expected eighty percent of the profit, and it can be said that it is almost doubled.

"Wait a minute. ”

Lu Chengfeng discussed a few words with the boss of the sword, then turned back to them and said, "I won't hide it from you, we have five hundred tons of magic crystal ore on hand, and we are ready to sell them all." It's just that the journey is tiring, and the business will not be negotiated for the time being. If you are willing to get in touch, you can wait for a cloudy morning to come to us. ”

This is, of course, a procrastination play.

The Magic Crystal Ore is more welcoming than expected, which means that the pace of war is likely to be closer. Because they couldn't figure out the specific situation, Lu Chengfeng and they didn't plan to sell it in a hurry. The specific price, how can it wait for them to collect information, and then talk about it on a cloudy day.

Such a small means, of course, cannot be hidden from the people of the firm. It's just that due to the restriction of sales and the joint exclusion of the two empires, it is difficult for the Farowan Territory to get such a large amount of magic crystal ore. This time, more than 500 tons of cargo is enough to attract the attention of any chamber of commerce at the airport. Therefore, Yin knew that Lu Chengfeng was waiting for the price to sell, and these people could only write down the contact information and wait for Lu Chengfeng to make an offer.

"It's going to be developed this time!"

After sending these people away, Lu Chengfeng and the Sword Boss glanced at each other, and they could see the joy in their hearts.

Since they had already attracted attention, after ordering the crew to strictly guard the cargo, the two also sent their own people to inquire about the news and try to find out the current situation in Faroe Bay.

At this time, Chen Liu came in handy.

In the previous battle against the Nightmare Bandits, he had not yet advanced to the fifth order, and he was not able to participate in the battle at the first time. Because it didn't play any role, this made Chen Liu a little disappointed. Now that the work he is good at has come, he didn't say a word and promised it. After a brief dress-up, he transformed into a standard local and quietly blended into the capital of Faroe Bay.

Sent out together, there were also two subordinates of the Sword Mercenary Group.

Their strength was also fourth-order, which was much worse than Chen Liu. But when it comes to probing business information and tracking down, it is no worse than Chen Liu. The three of them wandered around for a few hours, and soon brought back a lot of usable information.

It turned out that the relationship between the Tang River Empire and Faroe Bay was also on the verge of rupture.

Prior to this, the Farowan Collar was sandwiched between the Tian Yuan Dynasty and the Lanwu Empire, and had been secretly controlled by the two empires in turn. However, with the help of the neutral Tang River Empire to preside over and pull the fight, the situation will not be too bad. But since the current emperor of the Tang River Empire came to power, he envied the wealth that the two empires had seized from Faroe Bay, and tried to get a piece of the pie.

Originally, they were exploited by the two empires, and the nobles of Farowan were already very unhappy, and now that they were about to come to the third master, they were naturally even more unwilling. For this reason, the Tang River Empire once tested pressure on the Faroe Bay Territory, threatening to abandon mediation.

Without the help of the Tang Empire, the Farowan Territory would have to face the pressure of the two empires, and there would be no more foreign aid. The nobles of Faroe Bay, though not happy, did not want to see another enemy added. So, at their invitation, the Tang Empire sent a delegation of ambassadors to envoy to the Farowan Territory.

Originally, this is good food and drink, stuff a handful of money before leaving, and let them say a few good words in front of the emperor after they go back, hello, hello, everyone, good beauty. But I don't know who did it, the day after the arrival of the ambassador group of the Tang River Empire, a noble prince who came to play with the group was assassinated!

It's a big mess.

The nobleman who was killed was the son of a powerful minister in the Tang River Empire. Originally, it was sent to gild, but as a result, his life was directly gone, how could he be willing? Under his pressure, the ambassador group, who had originally just come to play, had to become stern and harshly reprimanded the nobles of the Farowan Territory.

However, the real murderer has not been found for a long time!

Seeing that the deadline set by the Tang River Empire was only two days, there was still no news of the murderer. In the eyes of the vast majority of people, the Farowan Territory is going to be tragic this time, and the relationship with the Tang River Empire will definitely break down. War is inevitable, and it will come faster than expected!

It was under such a threat that the Farowan Territory now had a sense of trepidation. The price of ordinary commodities trading is deserted, and the prices of magic crystal ore, grain, steel, armor, magic materials, etc., which are related to war, have all skyrocketed. If Lu Chengfeng and the others are patient to raise the price, it is not impossible to raise the price of the magic crystal ore to 4,000 gold coins a ton.

"That's really good news. The boss of the sword smiled and praised it, and his mood was extremely comfortable.

As for how the locals of the Faroe Bay Territory feel, who cares? They are just a mercenary group, they don't care about that idleness, they just need to be responsible for themselves.

Lu Chengfeng was also quite happy, his business was started by the approval he grabbed from others after all. As for whether that sixth-order master would cause trouble for him, Lu Chengfeng was not one hundred percent sure. Now that he has the opportunity to sell at a high price without approval, he naturally doesn't want to take any more risks. As long as the price given by those merchants is right on a cloudy day, they will sell it directly.

Moreover, the next step was just in time for the traditional business gathering of the Faroe Bay Collar. Lu Chengfeng can take the money he received, go to the rally, and relax.
