Chapter 299: Businessman seeks profit (Part 1)

When the caravan leader spoke, his eyes swept over everyone in front of him, and he was very embarrassed. He didn't know who to answer.

Salin smiled and asked Aini to speak. He took out the wine and asked Tris to pour it on the three of them.

"I'm asking you to come here, I want to ask what happened to that level 8 mercenary group?" Although Salin was polite to the leader of the caravan and drinking, Aini went straight and asked the other party.

"Master Master."

"My name is Aini."

"Mr. Aini, we came to assist the defense of the south at the request of the Qin Empire."

"Oh? Assist the Southern Defense? The Yunliu Empire and Dongulas have formed an alliance?"

"No, no!" The caravan leader quickly denied it, and hesitated, Enni said: "You say that I am not from the House of Commons."

"Cough!" The leader of the caravan coughed and said, "Sir, it's also an internal matter between Qin Yin. Qin Yin's nobles in the south have rumored to have ill intentions, but Holy Rock City cannot attack because of a rumor. He hired four groups of troops from Skochenya to assist in defense at the front line of the southern Red River. If the fight really starts, these mercenaries can still come in handy."

"What is your goods?" Aini asked suddenly.

"It's weapons and equipment, but there is no siege equipment, and large equipment is defensive." The caravan leader did not hide it. These things were approved by the House of Commons, and there was nothing shameful about it.

Aini glanced at the two minions of the caravan leader. These two minions looked like high-level swordsmen, and it was estimated that they could advance to the Sword Saint in one or two years at most. Magicians rarely make mistakes when they see people, unless the other party's level is much higher than themselves, or they have any special equipment.

"Are the goods sent to Holy Rock City or to Red River?"

"It's Holy Rock City. These goods are customized. The materials are very good, but they are all semi-finished products. The mages of Holy Rock City still need to continue processing."

Aini nodded. The materials purchased by Qin Yin Empire are basically the case, because there are not so many excellent mages abroad. If you buy finished products, not only expensive, but the attributes may not be better than those that you can process by yourself.

"I want to go to Holy Rock City with your caravan, do you think it's OK?" Enni said.

The caravan leader was stunned and then said, "I have to ask Lord Dinis."

"Dinis?"

"The temporary leader of the mercenary group led by this time is the Black Iron Sword Saint, but he has two level six mages under him." The caravan leader replied carefully. Aini wanted to go with him, but he couldn't make the decision because the goods were safe, and the mercenary group was responsible for it.

"Two Level 6 Mages? What is the name of this mercenary group?"

"The Purple Smoke Mercenary Group, the badge is a cloud beast, and it is also very famous in Skochenya."

"Don't ask him, I have only a total of fifty people, and I have to ask him more than one hundred people. Let's see this." Aini said, taking out the family badge.

The leader of the caravan quickly stood up and walked up to take it. He was not a nobleman, but he had also studied badge science. Otherwise, he would suffer a loss when he traveled around the world and encountered a powerful family but did not know the other party's origin.

The Clyde family's badge is also famous. He looked carefully and confirmed that it was not a forgery. He quickly handed it back to Enni and said, "Master, do you want to..."

"We are just walking together. When camping, I will not ask to enter your camp, but will choose the location for yourself."

The caravan leader then felt relieved and said, "Since that's the case, I'll just go back and say it, sir..."

"Haha, don't be nervous, stay for a meal."

Because Salin and others returned to the barracks, the cookware outside was handled by personal soldiers, and soon the barbecue was brought in. Aini grabbed the leader of the caravan and started chatting with him.

The caravan leader didn't want to offend Eni, so he had to sit down barely.

When Ani saw the caravan leader staying, he asked his name, and the caravan leader did not dare to be upset. This is not a rude expression to ordinary people. Most mages are unwilling to communicate. Even aristocrats will not blame a mage for being abrupt.

The leader of the caravan was Julian, who was a big leader in the royal trading company. In Skochenya, his status was equivalent to the baron sold by an empire. Of course, this status was not useful in the other three empires. Only the emperor of Skochenya was so shameless, selling the title with a price without any special treatment.

Although Aini had a proud attitude, he talked about all the topics that Julian was more interested in. Hearing that Aini had an industry in Metatlin City and could get cheap magic cores, Julian was moved. As a result, Julian became very excited and decided to organize a caravan to buy goods in Metatlin City.

It’s okay to say that wood is not a place near the sea, so you don’t need high-end wood like Metatlin City. To the north of Metatlin City, there are countless primeval forests, and those trees are everywhere for about a thousand years. Some trees with long lifespans have a history of more than ten thousand years.

This wood can be made into the largest sealing pod in the hands of the magician and can make warships. Some woods have similar strength to metals. If they can be processed in Metatlin City and transported with space equipment, they can be sold to the beach of Skochenya to make warships.

The most important thing is ore and magic core. The transportation of ore is difficult, but the transportation of magic cores is extremely easy.

The best production in Metatlin City is the level 3 and level 4 magic cores. The price difference between level 4 magic cores is huge, ranging from 300 to 1,000 gold coins. A ship of Salin goes to sea once. If there is no casualties and injuries, the cost is about 200,000 gold coins. It is not a problem to get tens of thousands of magic cores. If he takes it himself and drives the Round Turtle Alchemy Boat, it is like picking up money.

Even if you use ordinary warships to hunt, the cost of a level 4 magic core is only one to two gold coins. Therefore, these magic cores are sold in Metatrium City, both 200 to 500 gold coins, which is cheaper than any store. Salin has screened all the good quality magic cores, but even so, it is a huge profit to acquire magic cores from Metatrium City.

Even if an ordinary person brings back a magic core at a time, he will not lose money.

However, there is a limit on the purchase of commodities in Metatlin City. Merchants also know that if the number of magic cores is too large, the price will be lowered. Even so, the profit of a magic core is about one hundred gold coins. If you resell one hundred coins, you will have tens of thousands of gold coins. In addition to armor-type equipment, this is the most profitable.

Salin did not want to set up a business in Qinyin, so that merchants from all over the world could resell these magic cores, which would be safer for him. Hunting in the frozen sea, shipped in Metatlin City, giving the profits to the merchants, Salin just took the gold coins.

Another point is that Salin requires at least half of the sales of magic cores to be bartered. In other words, if a foreign merchant wants to buy magic cores, he also needs to transport a large amount of supplies to Metatlin City, which makes him omit the trouble of purchasing supplies.

For example, when he wants food, the merchant has to buy magic cores with half of the gold coins and half of the equivalent food. If he is asked to buy food by himself, he will not have so many people.

Skochenya also produces grain. Although Skochenya's farmers are the laziest, they cannot stand the fertile land, and the land suitable for cultivation is almost the sum of the three empires.

Most of the Skochenya's grain was used to make wine and smuggled to the Tanggulas Empire or Yunliu. Qin Yin has never been able to open up sales channels because Qin Yin himself likes fruit wine and is not interested in more intense grain wine. Now he can exchange grain for magic cores, which makes Julian very excited.

Because thieves rarely rob food, the food occupies too much land and is difficult to transport, for thieves, it is affordable to directly rob gold coins or kidnap tickets. Therefore, the caravans transporting food are basically the safest.

Salin robbed a batch of grain in Bianxing City, but if he wanted to expand his territory and have more entourage residents, he would have to have enough grain reserves. The food was definitely not enough, and purchasing grain was still the most urgent thing for Salin.

Salin is only worried about one thing now. He sets the price of the magic core slightly lower, so will Alchemy City be angry? Although the sea area controlled by Alchemy City is not as rich as the Ice Sea, the number of Magic Cores is absolutely large, so many that it can allow the mages of the entire Alchemy City to practice without worries. Doing this himself will definitely make some mages of Alchemy City come and join us.

Julian's vigilance gradually faded, and Aini then turned around to the topic he wanted to talk about.

Rex knew about Qin Yin's domestic situation, but Salin was far away from him and could not contact him at all times. From Julian's mouth, Salin still heard what he needed to know.

The situation in Qin was not optimistic. In the Honghe area, the river water was facing west, and the end was connected to the Great Lakes, bordering the Titans and Yunliu. The southern nobles here were originally the confidants of Emperor Chanak. As soon as Emperor Chanak died, the southern nobles were very dissatisfied with Safiros' control of the Holy Rock City. There were even reports that many nobles in the south were preparing to establish their own dynasty.

This may be the news released by the southern nobles themselves, testing the reaction of the Holy Rock City. If the Holy Rock City sent troops like this, the southern nobles would have reason to resist and be independent. Prince Safiros was also considered cunning. He nominally bought war supplies in Skochenya, but in fact he had hired more than 10,000 mercenaries one after another and arranged them in the Red River Basin.

The Holy Rock City planned to arrange 30,000 mercenaries in the Red River Basin, which saved a lot of military strength. However, the fact of the war in Gallulan was really bad, and almost the entire principality fell. The castles captured by the northern nobles were all captured by the Tanggulas Empire.

The only good news is that Alchemy City agreed to send a magician to the border of Galulan to help fight. With the war puppets and the mages supported by Alchemy City, Holy Rock City is not in chaos.

However, the war on the Yunliu Empire was bad, the Duchy of Titan was almost completely destroyed, the Chishui River was crossed by the Holy See army, pushing the vanguard to the Yunliu border.
