Paul asked in disbelief: "Is this grape jam your property?"
"Well, the princess and I have become business partners, and I provide all the jams she sells." Chris nodded, "How much does this jar cost in the capital?"
Paul held out three fingers and said, "Thirty silver coins."
"Damn it, I sold it for only three silver coins, but she actually doubled it ten times? No, I will raise the price for the princess when I get back."
Paul said: "Nowadays, those jams are in limited supply in the royal capital and have been promoted as luxury goods."
No wonder the princess has developed the Chamber of Commerce to such a great extent in less than a year since she came to the Eagle Kingdom. Her business acumen is something that ordinary people cannot learn from.
"In the future, I will sell jam to surrounding cities, and then I will let you be the agent of Nebula City." Chris said.
My brother Brent's jam business with major cities has not seen any improvement for the time being.
Chris decided to work with the locals.
Paul smiled and said: "Okay!"
As the son of an earl, he can naturally see the long-term market for jam.
Manda glanced out the window and said, "It's getting late. We have to go back to rest. We have to go on the road tomorrow."
Paul fumbled for two copper badges from his arms, handed them to the two of them respectively, and said: "If you need any help, you can come to me at Earl Zac's Mansion with this badge at any time."
"Okay." Chris took the badge and put it away carefully.
Paul sent the two people out of the restaurant.
The sky has turned dark, and the bright moonlight spreads over the earth, like a layer of silver frost.
Chris and Manda walked side by side and spent twenty minutes returning to the hotel.
Yunado, Steve and others walked in from the outside arm in arm, carrying a strong smell of rouge and gouache.
Manda looked at them with disdain and went upstairs alone.
"What are you looking at? If you don't go to bed so late, you still have the energy to travel tomorrow?" Yunado said, glaring at Chris.
Chris ignored him and went straight back to his room.
He took off his armor and sat on the edge of the bed, taking out the dragon blood fruit from the space ring.
From the fruit, Chris felt the same energy as himself, which was very cordial.
Without hesitation, he took a bite.
The hot juice sprayed into his mouth, it was tingling and tingling, with a slight sweetness.
Chris ate the dragon's blood fruit in a few mouthfuls, and his stomach suddenly felt like a small stove was burning.
"Hot, so hot!" Chris took off his underwear, revealing his strong body.
His whole body turned red, like a cooked prawn.
The dragon-like form was released involuntarily, flashing with red light.
Chris felt a stream of heat appear in his body, starting from his lower abdomen and flowing throughout his body like a rushing stream.
The wings flap and stir up red wind.
I don't know how long it took, but Chris' body gradually cooled down.
The heat flow has disappeared, and all the medicinal power of the fruit has been absorbed.
Although his height has not increased much, Chris obviously feels that his muscles have become more solid.
Chris clenched his fists, feeling the explosive power in his body, and murmured: "James, you should thank me. If you feed the Dragon Blood Fruit to the Storm War Horse, I'm afraid your precious mount will be exploded by the huge energy immediately.
.”
(James whispers: I can feed it in small pieces.)
The biggest change is that Chris can now mobilize the free fire element in the air for his own use.
In other words, he now releases fire magic without spending any of his own magic power!
"I didn't expect that this Dragon Blood Fruit would be so effective." Chris' eyes were bright. "Perhaps I should learn more fire magic and use them together to get the best out of it."
Chris suddenly thought that Paul came from an earl family, and there should be many magic scrolls in the family. He could borrow a few from him and read them.
As soon as he thought of it, Chris grabbed the clothes and put them on himself, and went downstairs with a bang.
At this time, the red-haired shop owner was sitting behind the counter, dozing off with his chin in his hand.
"Hey." Chris gently knocked on the counter to wake up the store owner, "Do you have a map of Nebula City here? How to get to Count Zac's house?"
The shop owner rubbed his eyes and said, "A map costs three silver coins."
"I'll just use it for a short while, and then I'll pay it back to you as if it was rented to me. Just one silver coin, okay?"
"Okay." The store owner took out a piece of parchment from the drawer on the counter.
Chris took the parchment, unfolded it, looked at it, then threw a silver coin on the counter and said, "Thank you very much."
After saying that, he turned and left the hotel.
It is now past eleven o'clock at night, and the moon and stars are sparse.
Occasionally, you can see a drunken strong man lying on the ground unconscious on the street.
Count Zac's mansion is in the northwest of Nebula City. It took Chris half an hour to get there after walking through a large area of the city.
Two burly knights guarded the door of the mansion conscientiously. When they saw Chris coming, they quickly blocked the way with their spears and shouted: "Who dares to break into the Earl's Mansion at night!"
Chris flashed the copper badge and said, "I'm looking for your Master Paul."
"My young master has gone to bed. You'd better please come back. We'll talk about anything in the morning."
"I'm going to leave early tomorrow morning. Can you two be accommodating?" Chris flicked his finger and put four silver coins into the arms of the two knights.
Reputation from Jessica 1, Reputation from Robin 1.
"Okay, I'll tell the young master right now, there's no guarantee whether you can see me or not." After saying that, the knight on the left turned around and entered the house.
Chris didn't wait long before he saw Paul walking out, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"Chris, it's so late, what do you want from me?"
"Let's go in first and then talk."
Paul takes Chris into a study room.
After closing the door, Chris flicked his wrist and took out a piece of dragon skin and thirty dragon scales from the space ring.
Paul's eyes almost popped out of his head: "This, this is?"
"You guessed it right, it's dragon skin and dragon scales." Chris smiled and said, "How about it, are you interested in purchasing it?"
Paul took a deep breath, trying to calm down his excitement, and asked with a trembling voice: "What's the price?"
"The dragon skin is one hundred gold coins, and the dragon scales are also one hundred gold coins. I will charge you two hundred in total."
"Okay, I bought it. Tell me, is there anything you need my help with?" Paul asked.
Chris asked in surprise: "How do you know I want something from you?"
"Although we have only known each other for half a day, from what I know about you, you never do business at a loss. Even brothers from the same father and mother cannot be sold at such a cheap price."
Thank you, it was taken into consideration.
Chris said bluntly: "Do you have any fire magic scrolls at home? I would like to borrow them."
"If I say no, will you stop selling it to me?" Paul asked tentatively.
Chris put away all the dragon skins and scales, turned around and left.
"No, no, no, no, yes, yes." Paul quickly grabbed him.
