Chapter 444 443. If you bargain, you have to cut it in half with one knife.
Putting aside his personal position, Rendell has some respect for the glutton Lu Yu. Not everyone is willing to make their knowledge public. Even if they are immersed in disasters, there are still many old stubborns in the school who are closed-minded and watch the fire from the other side.
Hold on to the knowledge in your hands.
His eyes quickly scanned the study room, but Rendel, who did not see Sera, hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down on the chair that Sigrid had moved.
Rendell observed the glutton Lu Yu holding a huge dark purple jellyfish and peering attentively inside its umbrella, where there was a white fish swimming continuously.
This strange combination made Rendell quickly engraved the scene in front of him into his mind, and he believed that this would be one of the effective information Her Majesty Tanya hoped to obtain.
"Caravan Guard Captain Lundell, I heard Sera mention you. One of the few high-level magicians around Tanya is as active as Crimson."
Hearing the sound, Rendell's eyes sharpened: "It's here, has it started, but where is Sierra?"
He was thinking about other things, but Rendell did not hesitate to speak. He straightened his chest: "It is an honor for me to be remembered by Lord Glutton and God Sera...Ms., but about Your Majesty Tanya
I need to make some corrections to the description of the high-level magicians around me."
"There are many high-level magicians who are loyal to Tanya. They are active in corners invisible to most people. Tanya has captured our hearts with her sincerity, and we will repay her with the most ardent loyalty."
Seeing the glutton's expression change from dull to astonished, Rendell was very satisfied with his answer. He did not let anyone underestimate the Green Shade Collar's heritage, and allowed them to gather their core strength for Her Majesty Tanya. This was enough.
.
The helpless and dry smile of the glutton was proof of the embarrassment that the trial failed. Rendell found the words and method suitable for this conversation and decided to continue to implement it.
"Perhaps we should talk about this caravan. As far as I know, before this, the merchants in the entire southern territory of Solon entered the Red Flame Mountains area through the foot of the snow-capped mountains on the east side, and the number was sparse. But this time, you are
We passed straight through the more dangerous Molten Mountains, and judging from the situation, we didn’t receive any surprises from the residents of the Molten Mountains.”
Rendell said sternly: "Thanks to Her Majesty Tanya's kindness and power, wherever the caravan goes, the various races in the Molten Mountains are convinced by the Green Shade Leader. The caravans with the logo of Her Majesty Tanya will be affected by the Molten Fire in the future."
To protect the various ethnic groups in the mountains, in order to benefit this remote southwest corner, our caravan will move goods and coins around and provide better services."
These words that demonstrated His Majesty's wisdom and her kindness once again shocked Glutton. Without Sera's assistance, Glutton seemed unsuitable for handling this form of conversation. His awkwardness and embarrassment were written on his face.
Very easy to read.
"Okay, I understand. The Dawn Leader welcomes you to connect this difficult and remote route, and is willing to provide corresponding help for your efforts. For example, the caravan can always get the Dawn Leader in the Hongyan Mountains area without violating the regulations.
Assistance provided based on self-interest.”
"As a side note, Your Majesty Tanya probably never thought that I would allow you to enter the territory before you left, right?"
This time it was Lendl's turn to be embarrassed, but his high-speed brain still made him throw out: "No, Tanya has already guessed this level."
After being stared at by the glutton's playful eyes for a long time, just when Rendell felt that the atmosphere was strange, the other party nodded to him and ended the conversation with simple and clear polite words.
After leaving the study, Lendl reviewed his speech and found nothing inappropriate. He perfectly resolved the glutton's insinuations about the green collar both inside and outside his words.
He felt that he had overfulfilled the task and was in a good mood. When he left, he found that the vampire slave did not lead the Pegasus, but lazily enjoyed the delicious food he had rewarded with the other two alien slaves.
Although Rendell was unhappy, he did not reprimand them. Instead, he was very generous and stuffed a gold coin into the hands of the vampire twins and the little squirrel without any explanation.
"This is a gift from Her Majesty Tanya, keep it." Rendell proudly got on his horse, like a Pegasus, with his head held high and his chest high, and he walked proudly back to the temporary clearing of the caravan's bulk cargo.
After drinking the small blood jar after the meal, Mu Mu looked blankly at the gold coins in his hand, then turned to look at each other in confusion with Xiao Niba.
"He looks so stupid."
Lu Yu in the study covered his forehead feebly.
In view of the fact that the existence of this trade route has indeed facilitated the various races along the way and played a real role in communicating with many places, Lu Yu had no intention of embarrassing them from the beginning and was happy to get periodic supplies of practical goods at his doorstep.
However, as soon as the conversation began, Lu Yu felt that the atmosphere was awkward. Rendel's tone and words were full of wariness. It could even be said that he regarded himself as a target to be guarded, so that his answers were always perfectly blocked.
What Lu Yu was thinking about.
"Tanya's brainwashing ability is quite scary. No wonder Lulu was betrayed and still protected her in a daze for so long."
Beside the rhinoceros monster, which was used as a beast of burden and was similar in size to an elephant, each group in the Dawn Leader looked at the various goods curiously.
The merchants of the Green Shade Caravan organized by Tanya are all smart and capable. They can judge whether a person intends to buy through some small movements and eyes. This trick is always successful along the way of the caravan. Tanya even praises it.
He told them that they could sell the dragon's heart to a dragon of the same race.
As usual, the shrewd businessmen enthusiastically introduced the dazzling array of products from all over the world, but they keenly discovered that most people in Chenxi Leader did not have a strong desire to pay.
The merchants were extremely puzzled. Their mouths could even persuade the fire elements of the Molten Mountains to buy useless silk fabrics, but they could not persuade their own kind?
The Molten Mountains contain fire-attribute magic power, fist-sized hot stones that can continuously release heat and continue to operate under the nourishment of magic power. Considering the cost of procurement, transportation, labor, and the need to establish a good impression with discounts when traveling on trade routes for the first time,
Selling two gold coins is not excessive.
The eyes of the craftsman team were sparkling, and when Yucao arrived at the scene and heard the price, he did not hesitate to quote one silver coin.
One cut into the aorta.
From gold coins to silver coins, facing the cornucopia, which simply omitted three or four auxiliary coins, and wanted to kill people and rob goods, the merchants had serious expressions, and they felt that they had encountered an opponent. They also saw the two groups of civil servants and craftsmen.
They were all looking at Yucao's face.
As long as you take down the corneum, you will have a big harvest!
Just as they were told, the businessmen used the crowd tactics and continued to introduce to the wavering team members while chattering and trying on Yucao's patience.
"Ms. Cordyceps, this is a hot stone the size of a fist, and it was just taken out of the volcano by the Salamander race. It can be used for ten years before it starts to wear out. Two Mera standard gold coins are worth ten years, which is cheap enough.
"
"A silver coin." Coryca said.
Another businessman came over: "As a craftsman, you should know that in addition to conventional heating, such materials have many applications."
"A silver coin." Yucao repeated.
"Our transportation, storage, and labor costs are very high, and we can't even make a single silver coin when purchasing!"
"Oh, really." Yucao looked indifferent, "I want a silver coin."
"Ms. Coryca, in the entire Mela, the price of two gold coins for a hot stone with this appearance is really very, very favorable. Considering that this is our first visit to the Dawn Territory, we can offer a small discount to build a relationship between the two parties.
The Bridge of Friendship…”
"So that's it...but I just want to buy it with a silver coin. What you said has nothing to do with me."
No matter what the merchant said, Yucao said "a silver coin" back and forth, and finally added a auxiliary coin with difficulty, which was better than nothing. The merchants' blood pressure instantly rose, and their faces became rosy. If it weren't for Yucao behind
The two group members showed a strong desire to buy, and they will definitely end this unhealthy pull.
"..."
If Cortex Cortex was just a dragon-slaying knife that initially planned to cut it down little by little until it reached a price with room for maneuver, then the businessman on the other end had his eyes wide open from the very beginning.
Because of her rich experience in outdoor life, Olga has many skills. She is an expert in crop planting and cultivation. Therefore, after the horticulture and agriculture groups were merged, she was appointed as the group leader.
Amid the ardent expectations of the team members, Olga saw the suspected mutated wheat seed. It was sealed in an earthen pot with strong grass magic power. The wonderful aroma emanating from the seeds made Olga very excited.
Jia Duo stared at it for a few seconds.
The businessman emphatically introduced how they discovered this crop while traveling through the molten mountains, and spared no effort in describing how it stood out among the wildly growing crops, in order to further arouse Olga's desire to buy.
"How about you give it to me?"
The businessmen in Green Leaf were stunned for a moment. At first, they suspected that they heard wrongly. After all, this Ms. Olga spoke with a strong foreign accent. Although she spoke fluently, her pronunciation was not flattering.
When Olga repeated her request for free prostitution for the second time, not only the businessman, but also the team members behind him were stunned.
They saw that Olga was not joking, and their faces twitched with embarrassment. They really couldn't understand how there could be such a shameless person in the world.
Can this person also be the team leader of the Dawn Leader?
In the past few years, Olga, who is in her twenties, was still killing monsters in Yas where the inheritance of knowledge was basically equivalent to nothing. Her biggest daydream was just to make money to buy land with her companions and run her own ranch. If everything goes well.
, maybe you can buy a title to get partial immunity.
Olga started dreaming when she was thirteen or fourteen, and was still fighting monsters when she was in her twenties. Olga, who was worried about one or two coins, had actually accepted her fate. She just wanted to have enough to eat every day and end the hunt safely.
If Lu Yu hadn't driven his flesh and blood chariot through the stone wall in the underground palace and appeared in front of them...
The dream came true in an unexpected way, and reality gave her more surplus. For example, a group of knights and nuns who lived in the Papal City all year round and had only theoretical knowledge but no practical experience became her team members, and
The team members did not look down upon her because of her background.
"We are all orphans. We were all children from poor families. We are no different from the group leader."
Olga and others were touched by something deep in their hearts and worked hard to reclaim their own knowledge wasteland. They combined their practical experience with the theories that the team members were good at, and even took the initiative to learn local writing, which had always been difficult.
, so that you can read more books.
Olga, who has been trying to survive since she was a child, has long known that face cannot be exchanged for food. She was able to shamelessly brag to the nobles and work for them in exchange for rewards. Only then did she have the capital to learn magic on her own. Therefore, today's Bai
Declaration of whoring is really not a big deal in her eyes.
Although Sigrid will pay, Dawnland is everyone's home. It's always good to save a little. Anyway, there is no loss if you try it for free. Maybe, what if?
The cute and quiet Xinlu had silently memorized the medicinal materials worth buying, and was waiting for Sigrid to pay the bill. After seeing the enthusiasm of Cortex Cortex, raising the price coin by coin, and making the merchants almost vomit blood,
She seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
After seeing Olga trying to obtain mutant crop seeds for free from various angles, the window to a new world also opened...
Sigrid covered her forehead, not knowing what expression to use to watch this scene.
Beside him, the corner of Rendel's mouth twitched. Sigrid, who came out with gold coins to pay the bill, looked so generous, but these territorial people looked like they didn't appreciate it...
"I see, like Dwek, he is also an expert in creating a scene."
Even if they buy it, it is still property belonging to the territory. If they really want to use it in the future, they may have to spend more to get it, so they will try their best to bargain for the price.
"What a pity for these people who think they can see a different light by following Sera."
Rendell felt that he had glimpsed the truth behind it, and couldn't help but sigh, but he obviously didn't find anything wrong with his logic.
Sigrid interrupted Cortex's haggling and paid the merchant the last price he said.
"No, I can chop it down again..." Cordyceps shouted.
Sigrid ignored her and helped everyone pay the bills along the way, and then met the cheering members of the farming team.
Looking at the earthen pot in Olga's hand, Sigrid opened her mouth slightly and her eyes began to wander.
"Don't tell me...this is really free."
"I got a silver coin." Olga smiled, showing her white teeth.
"This may be a crop seed that mutated in the magic wave. He sold it for just one silver coin?" Sigrid's voice was a bit high.
"Even if the grass element essence is used to fix the seed, it will wither if not planted in a short period of time. I deduced based on their journey into the Molten Mountains that the seed will completely lose its vitality in three or four days at most, because then
Intact crops have died during transportation."
"If you sell me, you still have one silver coin, but if you wait and see, you won't even have one silver coin anymore."
Sigrid breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she also gave a thumbs up.
