System prompt: Congratulations on completing the task [Obtain War Horse] (Grade A★★★★★), and you have received rewards of experience value +24,000,000, gold coins +200, and reputation value +800!
…
The experience points obtained are equivalent to about 15% of the experience of this level, which is pretty good.
There was still half an hour before lunch time, and the constant time was unbearable. Now it was too late to go out and level up, so I still rode my horse and followed Mingyue Pond.
"how?"
She was a little surprised: "I usually leave after receiving the mission rewards, why are you still there today?"
I said in a deep voice: "Stay with you more."
"Is it?"
A smile flashed across her lips and she said, "Let's go then, follow me back to the Dragon City Hall."
"Um."
From a distance, Longyuan stands like a volcanic crater in the jungle in the center of Longcheng. There are more than a dozen roads leading to all directions around it, and a passage has also been opened at the foot of the volcano, which can directly
Heading towards the center of the Dragon City Hall, you can faintly see some people from outside entering the Dragon Abyss.
The ice and snow have melted, and the command hall has become much warmer. A ray of sunlight pours in from the gap in the mountains and shines on the desk, making the stacks of files glow with a faint light.
When Mingyuechi led me into the hall, Fengyu also followed and whispered: "Sir, a group of businessmen from Longcheng Town are here. One of them is the largest ironware merchant in Julu City, named
Wang Dafu."
"Wang Dafu?"
Mingyuechi'e frowned: "What a tacky name..."
"yes."
Feng Yu was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Subordinate, are you going to call them in now?"
"Go ahead."
"yes!"
Mingyuechi turned around and sat in the chair behind the desk. She stretched out her hand to straighten the Xia clan emblem on her chest, as if she was afraid of losing it. Her hair fell like a waterfall on Xiang's shoulders, giving her a beautiful feeling.
He turned around and smiled at me: "Would you like to find a place to sit down?"
"No, I will be your bodyguard."
As I said that, I held the handle of the destroyer and stood quietly diagonally behind her.
Mingyuechi smiled slightly: "Well, okay..."
…
A few minutes later, with the sound of "clang", the door of the command hall opened, and a wisp of chill poured in. Fengyu walked in front, came straight behind Mingyuechi, and stood with me on the left and right.
Outside, a group of NPCs who looked like businessmen came in. Some were short and fat, while others were lean. All of them were dressed in brocade clothes, which were completely different from ordinary civilians. There were more than a dozen people in total, and their expressions were very respectful.
Behind them, four dragon knights held their hands on the hilts of their swords and led them in, but it looked more like they were escorting them in.
"Are you all businessmen from Longcheng Town?" Mingyuechi'e raised her eyebrows and asked.
"yes."
One of the fat men said: "The younger one is the iron merchant Wang Dafu from Julu City, this is the bow and arrow merchant Suas, and this one is the ore merchant from Bailu City..."
After he finished the introduction, Mingyuechi stood up, held the table with her jade hands, and said calmly: "I am Mingyuechi, the Lord of the Dragon Domain."
All the merchants bowed to each other one by one: "See...see Mr. Dragon Speaker!"
"Tell me, why did you come to Longyu this time? Why didn't you stay in Longcheng Town to discuss business with the negotiators sent by Longyu, but you ended up here?"
Wang Dafu frowned and said: "My lord, you don't know something. The officer you sent to the town is very arrogant and unreasonable. The price he offered is really outrageous. He actually wanted to buy five bundles of fine steel arrows for one gold coin. How is this possible?
, in Julu City, Bailu City, and Beiyuan City, one gold coin can only buy two bundles of fine steel arrows at most."
Mingyuechi smiled slightly: "But I heard that since the Battle of Babel Tower, there has been no war in Bailu City for a long time. The army's purchasing power for arrow clusters is not as good as before. A large number of your arrows can only be piled in the warehouse to rust and rot.
, now that you have come to our Dragon Territory, do you still want to use the previous prices to make money from the Dragon Territory? Don’t forget, the gold ore in the Dragon Territory is also sold to you for smelting at a low price."
Feng Yu frowned and said: "Wang Dafu, stop talking nonsense. If you don't do Long Domain business, someone will naturally do it."
"Your Excellency, you don't know something."
The fat at the corner of Wang Dafu's mouth twitched, and he continued: "Stainless steel arrows are completely different from ordinary arrows. They have stronger killing power. As long as the archer's arm strength is strong enough, they can penetrate the death armor of the Abyss Knight and the Terror Knight.
It won't break. My lord, you can't use the money of ordinary arrows to buy fine steel arrows. You will lose all your money if you are so small."
"Will you lose everything?"
Mingyuechi squinted her beautiful eyes and said with a smile: "Last time, Longyu gave you 50,000 kilograms of gold ore, and you refined at least 10,000 kilograms of gold. How dare you say that you lost everything? Could it be that you want to hollow out my dragon?
If the gold mine in this domain fails, you are so greedy and unbridled, so don’t blame me for being rude... Come on, take this fat man out and feed it to the dragon."
"Hey...feed the dragon?"
Wang Dafu trembled all over, and his face instantly turned the color of pig liver: "No, sir, five bundles are five bundles, five bundles for one gold coin, I don't have any complaints."
"That's pretty much it."
Mingyuechi sat down again, with an extremely elegant posture, looking forward with beautiful eyes, and said: "Also, are the blacksmiths I asked you to hire for Longyu, are they here? There are five hundred blacksmiths in total, and each person has a monthly commission of twenty gold coins.
.”
"I'm coming……"
Wang Dafu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued: "Sir, there are also newly made steel swords, spears, shields, etc. I also need you to reconfirm the prices."
"Confirm now."
Mingyuechi opened a file on the desk, read it, and said: "The price you offered is too high. Now I have decided to make a steel sword with ten gold coins each, a spear with eight gold coins each, and a fine steel shield with two gold coins."
Ten, if you want to sell them, you can sell them. If you don’t want to sell them, transport them all away from Longcheng Town. I will also withdraw the troops that protect you."
"This this……"
The corners of Wang Dafu's mouth twitched and he said: "Okay... okay, just sell it to Longyu at the price your Lord pays, but my Lord, I have one more request."
"explain."
"Heart of the Knight of the Abyss..."
"oh?"
Mingyuechi was relieved and said: "It's the ruby contracted by the heart of the Knight of the Abyss, right?"
"Yes."
Wang Dafu gritted his teeth and said: "The ruby forged by the heart of the Abyss Knight contains a small amount of abyss power. It will not hurt the body. On the contrary, it is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is very beautiful. There are very good markets in Bailu City, Longxi City, Beiyuan City, etc.
Not to mention, those noble ladies liked it so much that they even offered a high price of 10,000 gold coins for a ruby. Therefore, I have a request. I hope that all the hearts of the Abyss Knights that Dragon Domain obtained after fighting the Purgatory Legion will be sold to me.
Let my people refine the rubies and recover the cost."
"Can."
Mingyuechi's red lips slightly opened: "Feng Yu, how many hearts of the Abyss Knights are stored in Dragon Domain?"
"The last time the Purgatory Legion attacked the Dragon Territory, we killed more than 3,000 Abyss Knights, and all the subordinates of the Heart were saved, a total of more than 3,500."
"good."
Mingyuechi leisurely said: "Wang Dafu, each Abyss Knight's Heart will be sold to you for 7,000 gold coins. You can use this money to convert it into supplies. Dragon City needs more steel swords, spears, shields, and arrows.
Wait, in addition, I want you to buy food, livestock, etc. to provide to Dragon City, can you do it?"
Wang Dafu was pleasantly surprised: "The little one is willing to obey the adults' orders!"
Mingyuechi squinted her beautiful eyes and said with a smile: "Wang Dafu, remember, if you cooperate with Longyu, I can make you rich, but if you deduct too much and think that everyone in Longyu is a fool, I can also make you rich."
You are doomed and no one can protect you, not even Duke Xingchu, nor the regent in the imperial city, remember?"
Cold sweat broke out on Wang Dafu's face: "The little one listens to the adults' teachings..."
"Go, the rest of the businessmen, and continue to discuss the rest of the business."
"Yes, sir!"
…
Afterwards, they negotiated with merchants one by one and finally solved the supply channels for materials such as wood, cotton, fur, armor, war horses, artillery and shells. Dragon City paid for some ores and other materials in the Dragon Territory, and also provided military protection.
These merchants and craftsmen entered the Northern Territory to mine, and they were all businessmen and treacherous. Mingyuechi bargained over and over again before finally confirming everything.
After watching all the businessmen leave the Dragon City Hall, Mingyuechi breathed a sigh of relief, lay softly in the chair, and said softly: "I would rather face Kemir than face this group of profiteers again..."
Feng Yu smiled: "Sir, you are very sophisticated!"
I coughed and said: "The price of the war horse is about 30% too high. Next time, remember to find an excuse and use a clever excuse to earn back the loss, otherwise you will take advantage of these profiteers."
"Really?"
Mingyuechi's eyes were like water and he smiled and said: "Okay, I will ask for it back next time."
"By the way, where is Longcheng Town?" I asked.
"do not you know?"
Mingyuechi said: "In order to provide a large amount of supplies to Longyu, businessmen from Bailu City, Julu City, Beiyuan City, and Longxi City gathered at the creek south of Longyu Lingnan. They built new taverns, warehouses, and flower buildings.
And so on, a small town gradually formed."
Speaking of Hualou, she blushed and said, "Humph, none of these businessmen are good!"
I laughed: "When there is demand, there will be supply. By the way, if it can attract so many businessmen, the army of Dragon Territory should be very large now, right?"
"Yes."
Feng Yu smiled proudly and said: "The number of dragon knights has not increased, but the Dragon Domain Armored Corps already has tens of thousands of people. This army of tens of thousands will directly fight against the Purgatory Legion to support such an army.
The consumption is quite large. Fortunately, Longyu has opened up many income channels, and also provides military protection for merchants' supplies. In addition, Xingchu Gong decided to allocate 5% of Bailu City's military expenditure to Longyu.
This happens every year, so now that we have money, we will continue to recruit troops and eventually build a truly powerful army to compete with the Infernal Legion."
I nodded: "As a member of Dragon Domain, I am actually a little proud..."
Bright moon pool smiles.
At this moment, a message came from Su Xiran: "Team D, it's time to eat!"
