Wisps of smoke drifted away in the wind, Boom ate happily, and Rikka even burped. Christine was very satisfied with the taste of charcoal-grilled vegetables, but Perseus was still drunk.
Night fell quietly, and the noise in the Furnace City gradually decreased. A group of carriages moved silently along the city wall, and finally entered the city lord's mansion without any hindrance.
Passing through the garden and bypassing the main hall, all the wooden boxes on the carriage were unloaded, but emerald green seaweed still remained on the surface of these wooden boxes.
The candlelight elongated the figure, and the feathers on the three-cornered hat turned into milliped poisonous insects, crawling slowly on the wall. The iron gate of the secret room was finally closed, and except for the representatives of the two parties, all other people were cleared away. p>
"This box is the raw ore of crystal coins, this box is the magic potion, this box is five contract beast eggs, and the last box is magic crystals, gems and other things."
As the pirate spoke, he drank ale without any image. He saw his greasy, dirty hands grabbing a turkey wing, and his yellowed teeth kept opening and closing to bite.
This person is a close associate of the clever Isaac, and he is also the person who secretly trades with the other party on behalf of The Pirate Bay. He has only one job, and that is to keep what he brought, and then take away the wealth that belongs to The Pirate Bay.
.
Although the raw ore of crystal coins is extremely valuable, there are no skilled craftsmen in the Pirate Bay who can make them into crystal coins. Although magic potions can save people from danger, not everyone can afford these expensive things. Although contracted beast eggs
It is a priceless treasure, but most pirates are not professionals, so instead of causing trouble for themselves, it is better to exchange them for gold coins. The same is true for magic crystals and gems, because no matter how valuable they are, they are not worth a glass of low-quality ale from the Golden Hook Bar. In addition, these things were snatched back by pirates from the Cold Halberd Sea and cannot be seen at all. If they appear in the Pirate Bay or are discovered by interested people, then some forces will have a reason to attack the Pirate Bay.
And even the dwarves cannot directly choose to ignore this reason.
But "gold coins" are different. Although gold coins are engraved with symbols of various forces, such as lions, tigers, roses, two-headed dragons, etc., after a long period of disorderly circulation, they have long been
The "exclusivity" is lost. Gold coins are gold coins. No matter how many you have, it will not arouse suspicion, and even if it arouses suspicion, there is no way to verify it.
Therefore, The Pirate Bay will send people to the Crucible City every once in a while to sell those shady things at low prices, and then accumulate gold coins to grow and develop quietly.
"The goods this time are very good, 70,000 gold coins, this is the highest purchase price I can give."
Cooper, the Lord of the Crucible City, secretly traded with the Pirate Bay under the secret orders of Sombra Castle, purchasing the materials plundered from the other party at the lowest price.
The dwarves are a race as old as other alien races. Coupled with the innate skill of the dwarf craftsmen and the abundance of minerals in the flint basin where they are located, they naturally will not be troubled by supplies.
But as the saying goes, "If you have an advantage, don't take advantage of the bastard." Even an overlord like the dwarfs will not refuse to trade privately with the Pirate Bay, and this is also the original intention of the dwarfs to give the mangroves to the other party. It is not easy to do it yourself.
Just ask the other party to do the things you want, and the other party will always try their best to plunder the materials you covet. And all you need to pay is to protect the other party. This kind of cost-free transaction can be said to be perfect.
But the dwarves also have a bottom line, that is, this kind of collusion must not be discovered by the world, and all weapons in the Pirate Bay must be purchased from the dwarves.
"Seventy thousand gold coins? The actual value of these things is more than 200,000. Sir, can you please add some more, otherwise I won't be able to deliver the goods when I go back."
The pirate's expression changed, but he immediately smiled and flattered the other party. In fact, in his mind, it would be good if these hot potatoes could be sold, so as not to end up rotting in his hands.
"More than two hundred thousand? It is indeed the actual value of these things."
"But how are you going to sell it? Just take the money and leave immediately. I don't want to attract attention!"
The Lord of the Furnace City, Cooper, snorted coldly when he heard this, then threw a storage bag to the other party, and then signaled the other party to leave his mansion quickly as if he was sending flies away.
The pirate was a little embarrassed, but he still looked groveling. He bowed deeply to Cooper, the Lord of Furnace City, and then retreated into the shadows without making any sound.
"Leave the box of crystal coins and raw ore, and set out overnight to transport the rest to Black Crystal Castle. I must personally hand it over to the Financial Officer, Mr. MacMillan."
"Be smart these days. Whenever you find anyone suspicious coming to our Furnace City, we will keep them under surveillance. If they really come here for these supplies, then kill them directly!"
Cooper's voice echoed outside the secret room, and then the iron gate was completely locked and all the candles were extinguished. Only the seaweed remaining on the ground witnessed another secret deal between the dwarves and the Pirate Bay.
The morning sun quietly emerged from the horizon, dispelling the morning fog and awakening the Furnace City. Four figures stopped beside a certain forest outside the city. One silently looked at the caravans, one kept chattering, and the other kept looking at the caravan.
With a smile, one is as cold as a stone sculpture.
"It's so lively. I didn't expect so many caravans coming in and out so early in the morning. I don't know what good things are in those carriages."
Rikka said with eyes shining, as if she planned to return to her old business immediately and rob and kill all the caravans coming and going. The little girl liked this, because in her heart, doing so was the easiest way to collect gold coins.
"It's very lively. It's very similar to Hornworm Bay in the Principality of Xise, except that one is a harbor and the other is an inland town."
Boom nodded after hearing this, but his next words made Rikka run into a rage and almost transformed into the strongest form. Boom sighed when he saw this, and then closed his mouth.
"Shield Man! Listen to me! One day in the future, you will go with me to the Principality of Xisai, and then demolish that unsightly palace for me and destroy it all!"
Rikka first glared at Boom, and then ordered Perseus fiercely. The little girl's inverse scales in the Principality of Sisai would appear like this every time she mentioned them.
"Follow your orders! I will destroy them all!"
"I dare to ask the master, what is the 'Royal Palace'? What is the 'Principality of Xisai'?"
Perseus knelt on one knee in front of Rikka, but no one said anything to stop him this time. However, Perseus' words instantly ruined the atmosphere. Boom sighed, and Christine also pursed her lips and chuckled.
.
"Uh... these things are not important. You just need to remember that you have to do whatever I ask you to do." Liuhua was a little embarrassed when she heard this. It was not until this moment that she looked at Perseus. Although she said
He is tall and tall, but he is just a "baby" who has just been born a few days ago.
"Okay, okay, we will have time to talk about these nonsense in the future. Let's go to the city quickly. Maybe we can buy breakfast."
Boom signaled Rikka to stop messing around, and then he was the first to walk towards the nearby Furnace City. Rikka held Christine's arm and said something unknown, which actually made the half-blood elf beauty giggle.
.Perseus followed silently. As long as he didn't speak to anyone, everyone would mistake him for a knight's entourage.
