Hearing Lao Bai talk about emeralds, Federico said: "The city lord is very knowledgeable. In our jewelry industry, the most precious gemstones are diamonds, followed by rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. These four gemstones are recognized
The four major precious gemstones. The main producing areas of rubies and sapphires are in Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Thailand. When it comes to emeralds, Colombia is the world’s largest source of high-quality emeralds.”
Antonio said: "Yes, emerald is the king of emeralds. I also went to the mines in the Muzo area to hunt for goods a few years ago. Unfortunately, I am getting older. My legs and feet have not been able to use in the past few years, so I can only work in the city.
If you do some pearl business, you won’t be able to travel far.”
Pablo said: "Actually, we also want to get some emerald goods, but although the Colombian mining area is not too far from us, the small mine owners there like to go to Cartagena to ship goods. After all, it is closer.
And it is a local port in Colombia. Our Lily City is not only far away from them, but it is also a port on the Pacific Ocean with limited sales, so almost no mine owners are willing to come to our port to sell goods."
Federico said: "If the Lord of the City wants to get into emeralds, you can take a look. I have several friends who are also in the jewelry industry and can introduce them to the Lord of the City."
"Thank you!" Lao Bai responded, but he didn't think this introduction was of much use. When he arrived in Cartagena, he was no longer the city lord, just an ordinary player. And Cartagena is a port in South America.
, he is a foreigner, and although his reputation in other areas is high, his bonus is limited when he goes to South America. He does not have the natural friendliness with NPCs like the locals. If he wants to purchase goods from those emerald dealers, it will definitely be more difficult.
It's even more difficult.
The reason why Lao Bai mentioned emeralds was because Colombia's emeralds are famous all over the world, and Lily City is quite close to Colombia, so he thought there should be emeralds for sale in the city, which could be used by Hui Yu to improve his skills. Since the city
If you can't get into emerald, forget it. Anyway, the city's specialty is pearls, which is convenient enough for Huiyu.
However, Lao Bai also wanted gems for another purpose, which was to give gifts. Lao Bai felt that the breakthrough for Cecilia's mission should be with Esconte, the overlord of South America, and Esconte would definitely not reveal the news to Lao Bai easily.
Lao Bai could only get to know him well and make insidious inquiries. But it was not easy to establish a relationship with the overlord.
Lao Bai heard that Esconte liked jewelry, so he wanted to get some jewelry as gifts to improve his relationship. Among the diamond jewelry made by Hui Yu, the best part was not sold to Federico and the others, but
It was Lao Bai who kept it himself. However, Lao Bai knew that just diamond jewelry as a gift was boring and Esconte might not like it. If he got some pearls, emeralds and the like, the effect might be better when paired with it.
Better.
There are no emeralds to sell in the city, so you can only wait for their pearls to arrive and give them as gifts with diamonds and pearls. Or try your luck in Cartagena? Maybe you will be lucky enough to buy emeralds.
Woolen cloth.
Lao Bai was thinking about it, when Pablo said: "Antonio, didn't your nephew go to Muzo to mine a few years ago? How is he doing now?"
Antonio said: "Don't mention it, this guy lost everything and spent all day hiding from his debts."
As soon as Lao Bai heard this conversation, he immediately realized that there was a mission involved. He immediately asked: "Antonio, is your nephew in the emerald business?"
Antonio sighed and said: "That kid has no future, so it's better not to say good things about him, so as not to make the Lord of the City laugh."
Lao Bai said: "Tell me, maybe I can be of some help?"
Federico helped: "Antonio, since the Lord of the City asked you to say it, just say it. If the Lord of the City is willing to help, then maybe your nephew will be lucky?"
Antonio thought for a while and decided that it was okay to talk, so he said: "This kid followed me to the Muzo mining area in the early years and made some money. Later, he felt that the profit from reselling gems was too small, so he thought about starting a mine on his own, so he borrowed money from everywhere.
He became the owner of a mine, but before he could make any money, problems arose in the mine. All the money he owed to others was not paid back, and creditors went around to collect debts, so he himself had no choice but to run away."
Lao Bai frowned and asked: "Mine boss? So, he has an emerald mine?"
Antonio said: "His mine is a very good and rich mine, but it can no longer be operated. I don't know what bad luck he has. There are a large number of monsters living in the mining area, and all the miners have been killed by the monsters. He
I was lucky enough to escape."
Lao Bai said: "There are monsters in the mining area? So, if I help him clean up the monsters in the mining area and let him start working again, is that okay?"
Antonio sighed: "Lord, you are very thoughtful, but if those monsters were easy to deal with, we would have solved them long ago. What's more, even if his mine can really reopen, this mine will not belong to my nephew. Those creditors have long thought
I asked him to use the mine to pay off the debt, but now I see that the mining area has been occupied by monsters and no one can solve it, so no one wants to take it."
Lao Bai thought for a while and said: "If his mine is really a rich mine, I can allocate the city's funds to purchase the mine and help him pay off his debts. I will also find ways to clean up the monsters in the mining area. But from now on, his mine will become a
Now that we own the city, I can hire him to help with mining and management, what do you think of this?"
Antonio said: "If that's the case, the city lord has helped him a lot. You must know that he is hiding from debts outside and dare not go home. But is the city lord really willing to help him pay off his debts? That is a lot of money.
.And the monsters in the mining area are not that easy to deal with, and the city lord’s investment may be in vain.”
Lao Bai said: "I like emeralds very much. It would be great if there was a mine like this. I can spend some money to help your nephew and get a mine. Why not? As for whether the monster can be solved.
, you don’t need to worry, the mine will be mine anyway, and it’s my problem if I can’t fix it.”
Pablo patted Antonio on the shoulder and said: "Antonio, the Lord of the City is willing to help your nephew. It seems that your nephew is really going to be lucky."
Antonio said: "Since the Lord of the City has said so, I will first thank the Lord of the City on behalf of my nephew. However, the boss of the mine is my nephew, so I'm afraid it won't be easy for me to speak. The Lord of the City will have to discuss it with my nephew."
Lao Bai said: "I wonder where your nephew is?"
Antonio said: "My nephew's name is Chiro. He is hiding from debts and has gone to Maracaibo. He doesn't dare to come back. It's useless for me to write a letter asking him to come back. He will definitely be afraid that the creditor will trick him into coming back. If the Lord of the City
If you want to help him, I'm afraid you have to go see him in person and talk to him."
Lao Bai said: "It doesn't matter, I'll just go find him."
Antonio said: "That's great. I'll thank the Lord of the City on behalf of my nephew. However, my legs and feet are not good, so I'm afraid I can't go with the Lord of the City. I can only write a letter to tell him the situation. After the Lord of the City saw him, he took
Just give him my letter."
Lao Bai said: "Then I'll help you write a letter."
Antonio took out a pen and paper, wrote a letter, handed it to Lao Bai, and said excitedly: "If the city lord can do this big favor for my nephew, then I will be very grateful. Madam will buy goods from me in the future, I am sure
Only cost price is charged.”
Lao Bai received the letter and said: "You are too polite."
Ding dong, the system prompts: You have accepted the mission: Search for Qiluo.
Mission description: Antonio's nephew Chiro is hiding from debts, and you want to help him pay off his debts. You can take his uncle's letter and go to Maracaibo to find him, and talk to him about his debt problem.
Mission Difficulty:d
Lao Bai looked at the mission description and felt that this should be a series of missions. The first step of the mission was to find Antonio's nephew Chiro. He once again told Antonio and the three of them that they would keep it for Hui Yu when the pearls arrived.
He led Hui Yu and others away.
Returning to the city lord's palace, Lao Bai said to everyone: "You can rest assured to raise your baby here, I will go do the task. Huiyu, you can improve your professional skills when you have time. Pearls are a specialty of this city, so don't worry about running out of them.
.Make more good necklaces so that I can give them to Esconte as gifts."
Amina asked from the side: "Master wants to go out on a mission alone? Leave us here?"
Lao Bai said: "You guys are all big, so it's not convenient to follow me."
Fatima said in despair: "Doesn't that mean that the master can't train us more often in the future?"
Lao Bai was also reluctant to leave, but as a grown man, he couldn't stay in the city with them to raise their babies. And Lao Bai couldn't bear to take them out when they grew up, and it would be a matter of time for others to do so. So he could only
They stayed in the city.
Lao Bai comforted everyone, and Hui Yu took off the Hell Rock Demon Ring and said, "I'm in the city and I don't need this ring. You can just take it and use it."
Lao Bai thought for a moment and realized that his wife had nothing to be polite about, so he took it over.
Sera said: "Before the master leaves, please have sex with us once. I'm afraid that the master will be out for a long time and the sisters will have to wait."
Lao Bai thought about it, this was indeed a reasonable request and he couldn't refuse it, so let's practice his professional skills one last time. Then a 10p drama began...
After a long time, all the girls collapsed in the bedroom. Lao Bai touched Cecilia's belly and felt that he had gone too far. Now everyone still had someone in their belly.
Cecilia saw Lao Bai touching her belly, and also touched Lao Bai's hand and said: "If the master misses Cecilia outside, just call Cecilia over. Cecilia likes it best."
I’m accompanying the master. It’s best to summon mom, and we can fly together with the master. Well, it’s best to summon Sister Sera as well… Well, it would be best if the master can summon all of us.”
Lao Bai smiled and said, "I'll be back soon, don't worry."
Get the emerald mine, go to Esconte to look for clues about Cecilia's epic mission, and of course the most important thing - the crew problem must be solved. Now all the crew members are pregnant, and none of them can be used.
, the problem is serious.
Moreover, if the crew issue continues to drag on - there will be insufficient manpower for next year's single-boat competition, so it won't be a big deal if we don't get good results, but if we still can't get the crew for the next professional league, then Lao Bai will be dumbfounded.
While Lao Bai was thinking, he said goodbye to everyone and left Lily City. To be continued.
