Outside the door, Colin was taking Maud to say goodbye to Triton.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and then Triton looked directly at Colin and said in a deep voice:
"Sir Colin, this matter is not over yet. I will urge Ellis and the Hague merchants to give you an explanation as soon as possible."
Colin smiled noncommittally and said goodbye to Triton.
As he walked on the road, the red-orange radiance dyed his face a layer of red gold.
Another moment.
Maud on the side suddenly stopped, leaned down deeply towards Colin next to him, and said sincerely:
"Thank you, Lord Colin."
"If you hadn't taken the initiative, I'm afraid this golden four-leaf clover would never be with me again."
After saying this, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face and he said:
"There may be better options for ocean-going ships."
"I know the director of Denlan Shipyard. I introduced him to a big customer a few years ago. To thank me, he gave me a 20% discount on ships with a price of less than 30,000 magic stones."
"Perhaps you can use it, sir."
"Oh." A flash of surprise flashed across Colin's face, "Then I'd be disrespectful."
After solving the problem with The Hague Chamber of Commerce, the next thing he wanted to do was undoubtedly buy a boat.
Colin thought to himself.
Previously, a total of 12,580 magic stones were obtained from selling the golden four-leaf clover. The original price of the Haiyan was 16,000 magic stones. At that time, the ship was sold at a discounted price of 14,999 magic stones... Based on this calculation, if it is a 20% discount, maybe there is no need to buy second-hand.
Boat.
It's just... I don't know whether this 20% off discount is 20% off the original price or 20% off the discounted price...
The two continued to walk forward, and over their shoulders, an orange-yellow sunset gradually sank in the distance.
The next day.
In the morning, the sun has just risen.
Outside the Dunlan Shipyard.
"grown ups."
Maud at the door respectfully greeted Colin who had just arrived.
"Let's go." Colin nodded, leading him into the Denglan Shipyard.
Yesterday when they parted, they made an appointment to come and buy a boat today.
After all, it’s not too late.
The sooner this matter is ended, the better, so as not to have long nights of dreams and involve too much energy.
Walking into the Denlan Shipyard, the person who received Colin and the two this time was the same mustachioed salesman from the last time he came alone.
At this moment he caught a glimpse of Colin, his eyes lit up, he walked forward quickly and said:
"Sir, I see you again."
"Have you decided to buy the Haiyan this time?"
"Yeah." Colin nodded without concealment.
The mustache sales were approved by him, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
"Sir, please come this way."
He took Colin to the reception room.
Now that he had decided to purchase the Haiyan, Colin did not hesitate any longer and directly began to discuss various customizations on the Haiyan with Mustache Sales.
In this way, it took almost two hours for Colin to confirm all the details one by one.
So it’s time to pay.
"Sir, the price I gave you last time was 14,999 magic stones, but that was the standard price for the standard configuration.
This time, the price will change slightly based on your specific personal requirements." the mustached salesman explained.
"Well, so what's the final price?"
"I did a rough calculation, and it's probably an increase of about 1,000 magic stones from the original standard, which is 15,999 magic stones. Here I can give you a discount to 15,666 magic stones."
Colin nodded and did not respond in a hurry, but turned to look at Maud.
After feeling his gaze, Mod understood it and took a step forward to take out the brass ship-shaped badge that he had prepared long ago.
"This is...our badge?" Mustached Hu took the badge in surprise.
"Yes, this was given to me by your supervisor Finn three years ago. He said that I could use it to enjoy a 20% discount on ships with a price of less than 30,000 magic stones."
"Well... I'll ask the supervisor." The mustached salesman looked hesitant.
He had never heard of it, nor had he seen any other guests using similar badges.
Maude's heart sank.
Could it be that the director of Denglan Shipyard deceived him?
"What's wrong? Is this badge unusable?" Seeing this, Colin said slowly and solemnly.
With a thought, the aura of a formal wizard began to emanate from his body.
As if his throat was being strangled, the mustached salesman's face suddenly turned pale, and he said tremblingly:
"Sir...Sir, I just need to ask the supervisor."
"Well, you go ahead and ask." Colin withdrew his mental pressure.
He knew that the salesman was just confused, and he deliberately took advantage of this to show off his disguise as a formal wizard and avoid unnecessary troubles that might arise later.
Next.
Maybe Director Finn's badge is really useful, or maybe the strength he showed has an effect.
All in all, the process went smoothly.
Even the 20% off discount on the badge was ultimately based on the preferential price of 15,666 magic stones given by Mustache Sales.
In other words, he finally successfully bought the Haiyan for only 12,533 magic stones.
After paying for the magic stone, Colin rubbed the pattern of the storage ring on his hand and felt a sense of sadness.
Thinking that my assets have once again shrunk to less than a thousand magic stones, I can't help but feel a pang in my heart.
However, fortunately, when he reached the Siya continent, he could sell the Haiyan for cash.
The mustachioed man said to him respectfully:
"Sir, according to your needs, your Haiyan number will be completed in about half a month. Please leave an address and someone will come to notify you then."
"Yeah." Colin exhaled softly, regained consciousness and left the address of the hotel, and then left with Maud.
When we walked out of Denlan Shipyard, it was almost noon.
Looking around, the streets outside are as bustling and lively as ever.
I solved a big thing, and although my mood was a little complicated, overall I felt relaxed.
He turned around and wanted to say goodbye to Maud and return to the hotel.
"grown ups."
But Maude was the first to speak to him.
"Now that you have purchased the Haiyan, may I ask, when will you leave for Siya Continent?"
Colin looked at him but didn't answer.
"That's right, my lord."
Maude took the initiative to explain.
"I want to take your ship to the Siya continent together... Of course, I will pay for the magic stones for the ticket - what do you think of fifteen hundred magic stones?"
Colin pondered for a long time, and finally nodded slowly:
"Okay. My plan is to set off as soon as the boat arrives. You leave an address and I will ask my maid to come and notify you then."
Now that I have bought the boat, I am short of magic stones... Maud understands quite well. It is a smooth sailing ship. If you don't make money with this magic stone, you won't get it in vain.
"Okay, thank you, Lord Colin!" Seeing him agree, Maud seemed to have solved her worries, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
Next, after Maud told Colin her address, she said goodbye and left.
Colin also turned around and continued walking towards the hotel not far away.
Looking at the flow of people coming and going around him, he sighed inadvertently.
In any case, now that he is walking alone on the street, at least he no longer has to pretend, which saves him some time.
Time flies, and another week has passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Colin had breakfast and prepared to go out with Sister Renee to buy some necessary supplies for the sea.
But as soon as he walked downstairs, he met a steel-armored guard head-on.
"Is this Mr. Colin?" The guard stopped him and asked respectfully.
Colin nodded and looked at the guards in front of him who were covered in silver-white steel armor.
He suddenly remembered the patrolling guards he had seen at night.
However, unlike the patrolling guards we saw at night, the steel armor on this guard was more refined, and the structure looked smoother and slimmer.
Overall, it's more advanced.
Click.
Suddenly, the guard touched some mechanism, and his tightly fitted helmet suddenly opened a small slit around his neck.
The guard then took off the helmet with both hands and placed it on his left hand.
"That's right, sir, in order to express their apology to you, the law enforcement team has specially sent you some small compensation. In addition, the Hague Chamber of Commerce has also asked me to send you compensation."
The guard pressed his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly to salute him, then took out two palm-sized wooden boxes from the cloth bag he was carrying, and explained.
"Oh." Colin raised his eyebrows.
Although Triton told him that he would definitely get a result, he never took it to heart.
After all, this is Bananka Island, and the full name of the law enforcement team is Bananka Law Enforcement Team.
It is not easy for him, a foreign wizard, to be treated relatively fairly.
He had never thought that there would be compensation. He thought there must be something happening behind this that he didn't know about.
But there was nothing to hesitate, he took the wooden box.
After greeting Sister Renee, he found a corner to sit down in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, and he gently opened the wooden box.
