Chapter 381: Generous Lord
There is only one lake separated from the Blue Dragon Empire, and it stands to reason that the two countries should be bordered by the center of the lake. However, relying on its dominant position, the Black Dragon Empire insisted on drawing the border on the shore of the Blue Dragon Empire, and completely incorporated the entire lake into its own territory. So when Long Yi came over from the Blue Dragon Empire, the people selling fish by the lake were all traders from the Black Dragon Empire.
And blue
When the people of the Dragon Empire saw the typical appearance of Long Yi and Erin, their faces were filled with fear, and more often than not, they were hateful.
Obviously, although the Black Dragon Empire's behavior of following other people's paths and leaving others with no way out has brought benefits to itself, it has made the so-called allies not so strong.
Ryuichi learned Sorin's accent, and Sorin's accent was the accent of the Black Dragon Empire's Imperial City. In the Black Dragon Empire, the difference in rank is very strict. And the accent of the Imperial City also means that it is either rich or expensive, because it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to survive in a place like the Imperial City. It has the harshest laws and the most expensive taxes in the Black Dragon Empire. For the first time, Long Yi heard that a person's family would pay taxes according to the number of servants. This law stipulates that people let the Black Dragon Empire develop a strange way to show off their wealth, showing off their servants.
When visiting a rich man's house, the host will usually have the servants stand in a line at the door to welcome the guests, and at the same time say, 'Oh, the house is too busy, so I have to let this small group of servants come to greet you, sorry.' ’
This kind of story was told by Solin when she was giving Ryuichi a make-up lesson, and Ryuichi heard it anyway. It's quite unbelievable.
If you want to gain a foothold in a place like the Black Dragon Empire, you need some necessary means. The inhabitants of the entire Black Dragon Empire have become extremely snobbish under the shroud of this atmosphere. To gain their respect, what you need is not kindness, but to make them understand that your fists are harder, you are richer, and that is enough.
Instead of flying, Ryuichi chose a carriage. In the era of dragon knights rampant here. Flights are strictly regulated. Any thunder eagle is inspected several times before it reaches its destination. In contrast, the slow horse-drawn carriage is the vehicle with the highest success rate.
At this time, Ryuichi was in the carriage. Stopping Erin from leaning together, looking loving. Suddenly, Erin asked, "Honey, let's go out and travel the world this time." Didn't you say to bring back gifts for our servants?"
Long Yi laughed. said: "My dear, don't worry, half a month ago, when we met that Sea Clan merchant, I already bought these!"
As he spoke, Long Yi took out a huge pocket from his private space, and then casually took out a handful of beads from it that were enough to brighten the eyes of a blind person.
The beads look large, round, shining, and delicately attached to them.
"Oh. I thought it was, but it turned out to be the night pearl of the Sea Clan. How much is this worth? Look at the Dirol's house, even his servants are dressed by the apprentices of the great tailor Picard!" Erin read the lines very playfully.
"Haha, dear, you don't understand, these night pearls are priceless! This bead is not to mention his servant's clothes, even his servant can buy it!" Long Yi casually chose one from it and threw it to the coachman in front.
"Hey, brother, we don't have any Black Dragon Coins on our husband and wife, can you give this thing to you?"
The coachman had been listening to the conversation between Long Yi and Erin, and the night pearl that was suddenly thrown into his arms blinded him directly. Although it was only an inland lake, and the inhabitants of the water's edge, of course the coachman knew the value of the pearl of the night! especially the merchants of the Sea Clan, whose goods were famous for their high prices. If there are two black-hearted merchants in this world, one is an elf, and the other is definitely a sea clan!
If at first the coachman thought that the couple was bragging, now the only doubt in his heart has disappeared.
"Thank you, generous sir, for your richness has made my two crude carriages shine with a golden glow!"
The coachman racked his brains for the words of praise.
"Haha, don't be so polite! If I hadn't been smarter when I passed through the White Dragon Empire, and I lost all the Black Dragon Coins, I'm afraid my life would have been gone. Compared to the money I lost, it was nothing!" said Long Yi laughing.
"You also went to the White Dragon Empire?" asked the coachman in surprise.
"Of course!" said Ryuichi proudly.
"That's our enemy!"
"That's why it's exciting!
"Yes!
"Oh, generous sir, you dare not have such great generosity, and you still have amazing courage! You ought to let the great emperor award you a medal!" said the coachman with emotion.
"Haha, forget the medal, after all, we're just going to play. You know, we have people of status and money, and life is always lacking in excitement. That's why I made a bet with that old miser of Abbas that he would give me his largest mansion with all the servants in it, as long as I traveled to the Seven Kingdoms in a carriage!
Abbas!
The coachman was secretly surprised, a name that even the little coachman in his transit town had heard. Abbas is one of the richest people in the Black Dragon Empire, and his business monopolizes all aspects of the Black Dragon Empire. And most importantly, his surname. Abbas's full name is Abbas Black, and he is a member of the royal family.
Most of the business in the Black Dragon Empire was monopolized by members of the imperial family, and a large amount of wealth was concentrated in the hands of the imperial family, allowing the emperor to squander the money at will to build real houses or factories. This kind of thing is known to every resident of the Black Dragon Empire.
And the middle-aged man in front of him dared to make a bet with Abbas? And he wasn't afraid of Abbas? Could it be that he was also a member of the royal family?
The more I thought about it, the more the driver realized that it was possible! It turned out to be a royal family!
This discovery made the coachman's fingertips tremble a little, and even the night pearl pendant hidden on his chest seemed to become slightly hot. But it didn't seem like they were going to reveal their names, so the driver didn't dare to ask.
I saw the driver's uneasiness. Long Yi suddenly smiled and said:
"Don't worry, we're just passers-by. Wait until the town ahead, you can help me find a place to live, and then help me find a trustworthy coachman, that's it, we don't want to be too ostentatious, and I'm going to surprise that old bastard of Abbas!"
The coachman listened. He pinched the precious bead on his chest and nodded vigorously.
The carriage walked quietly until it came to a large town.
The coachman parked the carriage in the backyard of the largest hotel in town. Then I went out alone and found someone. This man was his own brother, and when the coachman told him about it, he didn't believe it at all. But when the beads that are enough to shake the blind eye appear. His brother immediately believed in his brother.
Of course. The younger brother was not stupid enough to reveal the name Abbas, making money is making money, but life is much more important than money.
The coachman's brother was an ordinary waiter at the hotel, and he didn't make much money all year round. And the value of this bead is something he can't earn for countless years! So Long Yi stayed in this hotel.
In the hotel's most spacious room, Ryuichi and Erin each dropped their luggage. The waiter looked at Ryuichi with a light in his eyes and clasped his hands together. The expectant smile on his face was about to break his face.
"Brother, can you do me a favor?" asked Ryuichi.
"Tell me, generous sir, my brother has told me all, I am the most trustworthy of you!" said the waiter.
"I have two beads here. Long Yi pulled out two beads.
Bigger!brighter than the two coachmen!The waiter felt his eyes swayed by the light.
"You help me sell one of them. How about changing it to a black dragon coin, and keeping the other one as a souvenir?" said Long Yi with a smile.
What my brother said turned out to be true! This is really an incomparably generous old man!
Try to take the two beads with trembling hands, the beads are set in the beautiful silver ornaments, the workmanship is definitely not something that ordinary craftsmen can make!
"Please...... Wait, I know someone who can sell for a good price!"
The waiter left the hotel quickly, and he knew a black marketeer, whose prices were much higher than those of ordinary pawn shops. When the waiter found him and showed the pendant of the Night Pearl, the merchant's eyes lit up.
"Brother, where did you get this thing?!" the bald black marketeer asked nervously, "Let's talk about it first, I won't dare to ask for this product if it's too bad!"
"Don't worry, although I can't tell you where you came from, it's definitely not something of unknown origin!" said the waiter triumphantly.
Seeing the waiter's expression, the bald-headed black marketeer understood that the guy in front of him, who was not very good at lying, should be telling the truth.
"This thing is very valuable, especially the craftsmanship of this sea tribe...... Well, I'll give you this number!"
The black marketeer gestures.
"I said bald, we don't cooperate once or twice, this thing comes from a very noble master. People entrust me to help because of a special purpose, if you are too stingy, and in the end, if the master is unhappy to ask, it will be difficult for me to answer. The waiter said, tilting his head.
Damn, is this bastard really getting rich?
"Good!" the black marketeer gritted his teeth and raised his hand, making a staggering number.
"Haha! I knew that if you weren't in a hurry, you wouldn't show your bottom!" the waiter smiled.
"Damn, give me the beads, give you the money, get out of here!" the black marketeer threw a bag of money and snatched the beads into his hand. Seeing the waiter leave, the black marketeer's face smiled again. Even if the price offered is much higher, he still estimates that he can still make a lot of money.
It depends on how to sell it and to whom. (To be continued......)
