"Please take a seat, everyone," Tina led the four of them to the dining table in the living room, "Don't be dissatisfied with the simple meal!"
Faced with the nectar drink, honey barbecue, grilled whole fish, fish-flavored shredded pork, and various fresh vegetables and fruits that were brought to the table, the three members of the mercenary group and Matruh all drooled.
"Um...does she have any grudge against me?" After Charlotte sat down, she looked at Perrin timidly and asked.
Tina looked back and understood that the expressionless Peilin was staring at the four people like this to prevent them from attacking Jia Zhengjin. So she explained with a smile: "Pelin has no malice, she was born with such a face.
She has no expression on her face, so she looks fierce, but she is actually a girl with a good personality, right?"
"Yeah!" Perrin responded calmly.
After knowing that she was not hostile to him, Charlotte relaxed a little. He smelled the fragrant dishes on the table and couldn't help but his stomach rumbled. So he turned to look at his sister to see if she agreed.
Phyllis was actually hungry too. Facing the expectant looks of her brother Charlotte and her subordinate Reddy, she nodded and clasped her hands together: "Since this is Lord Keen's kindness, we won't refuse! Thank you God of Light!"
"Thank the God of Light!!" Charlotte and Reddy clasped their hands together at the same time, making the same move as Phyllis.
Shouldn't you thank me? What does it have to do with the God of Light! It's not like he gave you food... Jia Zhengjin cursed in his heart, but still smiled on his face: "Don't be polite, everyone, eat more!"
"Thank you, Goddess of Justice!" Matru also clasped his hands together, but the gods he thanked were different.
"This drink smells so good! I've never seen it before..." Charlotte picked up the cup first, took a sip, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "It tastes great! I've never had such a delicious drink!"
"This is nectar brewed by forest fairies, and most people can't drink it." Jia Zhengjin explained with a smile.
"Forest elves? That legendary race?" Atlu was shocked, "Are there actually forest elves in the Warcraft Forest?"
"That's right!"
"But I heard that forest fairies generally don't like to interact with humans. Why..."
"This is my secret!" Jia Zhengjin laughed.
Several people looked at each other without asking any questions.
Matru took a sip of the nectar drink and became very energetic: "Lord Keen! Lord Keen! This drink is so amazing! It's a sip that you'll never forget! Do you have a lot in stock? Can you put these in?
Leave the drinks to me? I will definitely be able to sell them at a good price. Do you want to cooperate? I have a hunch that I will be able to sell them at a great price!"
"Sorry!" Jia Zhengjin said with a shrug, "I only produce one bottle of this nectar a day here, and it is very precious. I basically keep it for myself and occasionally use it to entertain distinguished guests."
"Sell me a few bottles, and I'll pay a high price! Smaller quantities are better, and they can be auctioned off as treasures! I think the princes and nobles would be happy to pay a high price to collect the delicacies brewed by the forest elves themselves!" Matru said with eyes now in his eyes.
Basically it's like a gold coin.
"Oh? Then what's your price?" Jia Zhengjin said it didn't matter how many bottles he had.
"Ten gold coins per bottle!" Matru said eagerly, "This has already caught up with the price of high-end magic recovery potion!"
"Only 10 gold coins?" Jia Zhengjin said in his heart that if I mine any gold mine, the money would be more than enough. So he frowned slightly and said, "Forget it!"
"Lord Keen! Lord Keen!" Matru hurriedly shouted, "20 gold coins! How about 20 gold coins?"
The members of the three mercenary groups all opened their eyes with expressions of disbelief. Even Tina was surprised. 50 gold coins was a huge sum of money!
Jia Zhengjin was still indifferent.
"100 gold coins! It can't go any higher! I'm not even sure I can get this price at auction!" Matru said loudly.
"Then why do you still buy it at this price?" Jia Zhengjin asked doubtfully.
"Rare! This thing is so rare! Even if it can only be sold back for a small amount, or even auctioned off at a loss, at least my Chamber of Commerce's reputation can be improved!" Matru said excitedly, "In addition to funds being very important to a Chamber of Commerce, reputation is also important.
The decisive factor! I want to become the president of the largest chamber of commerce in the Beit Empire. I must first build up my reputation! However, I have been traveling around the world for several years and have not been able to find the decisive factor. Today I finally found it! Mr. Keen, you
You must sell it to me! With this treasure, I definitely have hope!"
"Kien! A bottle costs 100 gold coins, which is a sky-high price!" Tina whispered in his ear, "Now that there are more and more people in our city, we will definitely need a lot of money in the future!"
"Yeah!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "Okay! Then it's 100 gold coins, but I can only give you 5 bottles now!"
"Ah! Master Keen, can't you give me more?" Matru said hurriedly after hearing this.
"If you give too much, we won't have enough to eat ourselves, let alone entertain the guests!" Jia Zhengjin said, "You can take these 5 bottles back home and auction them off, and wait until you come back next time!"
"But, the Warcraft Forest is so dangerous, how can I dare to come here casually?" Matru said with a bitter look on his face.
"Well..." Jia Zhengjin pinched his chin and thought for a while, "Yes! I will have my men patrol back and forth around the perimeter to create a safe passage. Anyway, the raw meat resources are enough now even if they don't hunt, so it's pointless to let them continue.
If we don’t work on the ground, it’s better to maintain public security. Once public security is improved, pedestrians passing by will be safer in the future. Maybe I can collect some protection fees!”
"What a great idea, Keen!" Tina's eyes sparkled when she heard the word protection fee. She is a girl from a poor family who speaks out, and she is also very enthusiastic about making money. "Not only can you make money, but you can also protect pedestrians.
It’s safe. After all, we may have to communicate with the outside world in the future.”
"Then it's settled!" Jia Zhengjin laughed, "I will try my best to turn the outer edge of the forest into a safe area, so that your chamber of commerce can come here with confidence and boldness! At some time, I may build a passage from the city to the outside of the forest.
It’s a road, so it’s convenient to travel, isn’t it?”
"Is it okay, Lord Keen? Can such a scary place as the World of Warcraft Forest really be safe?" Matruh was very worried.
"You don't have to worry about this!" Jia Zhengjin said with a smile, "I will make this the safest paradise. By the way, Guangming City may come to attack my city next month, so remember not to come over then.
Avoid being implicated! You can come over at any time after the battle here is over!"
