Arcane Lord

Aiwa's words made Xia Duo calm down. The other party was a middleman, and it was inevitable to take the price difference. It was just a question of how much. Even if he found other middlemen, he still couldn't escape this knife.

And if you randomly choose a store to sell it, the price will probably be even lower.

"Boss, we can use the alchemy bottle ourselves, so we won't sell it. How much is that little wood carving worth?"

This is indeed Xia Duo's true thought. He didn't recognize those bottles before, but now he knows they are alchemy bottles. Instead of selling them at a discount, he might as well keep them for himself.

This thing is more powerful than his current spell!

But now he is more concerned about the price of the small wood carving. Before, the boss turned a blind eye to other things and took a fancy to this one, which shows that this is not an ordinary thing.

"The material of this wood carving is quite rare. For 500 gold coins, if you pay more, you can take it yourself." The boss said lightly.

Xia Duo could tell that the boss didn't mean what he said. The price of this thing was definitely more than 500 gold coins. He was about to refuse, but he didn't expect Ava to agree, "Yes!"

"Okay!" The boss immediately agreed, the emotion on his face was clear, "Together with the previous 315 gold coins, I can give you 820 gold coins. Do you want a transaction slip or a redemption voucher?"

This made Xia Duo a little dumbfounded. Is this the decision? He quickly asked Aiwa, but Aiwa just gave a reassuring look and signaled Xia Duo to choose the payment method.

Xia Duo temporarily suppressed his doubts and prepared to complete the transaction first. The boss provided two payment methods-transaction slip and exchange voucher.

The so-called trading bars are actually fixed-weight gold bars, similar to large yellow croakers and small yellow croakers on earth.

The exchange voucher is a piece of parchment endorsed by the lord or the mage union, with the amount and the secret seal used for verification marked on it.

Xia Duo had never seen the transaction note with his own eyes, but he had seen someone use the exchange voucher at the Mage Tower. However, this kind of thing involving magic made Xia Duo feel unsure.

Therefore, he still chose the physical transaction strip.

After receiving Xia Duo's confirmation, the boss immediately squatted down and took out sixteen gold bars one by one, two fingers wide and as long as a palm, from behind the counter. Then he counted 20 gold coins from his wallet and placed them on the counter.

"Would you like to check it out?"

Xia Duo casually grabbed a gold bar and it felt heavy in his hand. Although he had never seen a physical object before today, he had come across a lot of gold coins. He judged that this should be true.

Looking at Ava again, he nodded subtly, and then Sha Duo put away all the gold bars and gold coins, along with the alchemy bottles that were not for sale, and packed them together.

Following Ava out of the leather shop, the enthusiastic voice of the boss behind him came out, "Two, come back next time!"

…

After coming out of the leather shop and a little further away, Xia Duo couldn't wait to ask: "Aiwa, that little wood carving -"

"The material of that small wood carving is part of the main trunk of the weir tree. It is a very rare tree. Elves value this tree very much, but humans do not necessarily. The small wood carving itself is not worth 500 gold coins."

"Then why did the leather shop owner spend 500 gold coins to buy it?"

"Maybe that statue has some special meaning." At this time, Ava also doubted his own judgment, but the unique silver light that was faintly visible was indeed the material of the weir tree!

"If this is really the case, then the price should have been raised just now. Why did you agree so quickly?" Xia Duo said with a hint of complaint.

He was indeed preparing to raise the price just now, but Ava had already agreed. Out of trust in Ava, he did not continue to ask for more. Now it depends on what Ava has to say.

Ava said, "I saw his desire for that small wooden sculpture. If the price was increased, we might not be able to sell it, so I immediately agreed. In addition, he overestimated the valuation of the previous items. If In other places, it can only be estimated to be around 200 gold coins.”

"..."

Xia Duo thought that there was an elf silk scarf among those things. He had seen the selling price during the Midsummer Festival - 200 gold coins. Now the total price of so many things is only 200. This gray middleman is really good at making money!

Thinking about what Aiwa said about increasing the price and making it impossible to leave the store, this can no longer be considered gray, it should be called black.

"Aiwa, I have to thank you very much this time."

Ava did not answer, his figure was hidden in the darkness, and Xia Duo said no more, preparing to deal with the more than ten pounds of transaction slips. Compared with the trophies that needed to be valued, the transaction slips were much easier to deal with.

In essence, it is a kind of currency, just buy it and buy it.

…

South District, Eagle Secret Store.

The last time Xia Duo came here, his hands were still tight. He only bought a 1-level [Summoning Mount] scroll and left. This time he brought more than 800 gold coins, so his hands were much richer.

"What do you want? Come on, we're closing!"

A middle-aged man who looked like a steward was instructing two servants to count the goods. He saw that Xia Duo was dressed in a perfunctory manner.

"Bang" sound.

Xia Duo put the transaction slip on the counter. At this time, the steward became a little more serious and asked the servant to continue counting, and asked Xia Duo, "Guest, what do you need?"

"Magic Scroll."

"Then guest, you are in the right place. Which chamber of commerce under Savile has the most and most complete magic scrolls, it is our Eagle Chamber of Commerce. I don't know what kind of scrolls the guest wants."

Before coming, Xia Duo had already thought about it. The first choice was to save his life, the second choice was to run away, and the last one was to be aggressive. "I need 5 copies of [Mage Armor], 5 copies of [Summoning Mount], and 1 copy of [Protection from Arrows] part, [resist energy damage] 1 part.”

The steward's eyes lit up, and after a while of calculation, he said, "700 gold coins."

This price is obviously higher than the usual price, but it is a seller's market, and Xia Duo is helpless. It would be better if he is an official mage.

"Okay. But you need a mithril pen."

"This -" the steward drawled, "A mithril pen costs at least 50 gold coins. Guest, you are too greedy!"

"hehe."

Sha Duo identified the mithril pen. Although it did not improve him for the time being, when he became an official mage, he would have to use the mithril pen to make magic scrolls.

Furthermore, he was still using an ordinary quill pen, which felt very uncomfortable in his hand. Of course he would have to change his equipment if he had money.

"Boss, the orc wave is over. You are still being greedy by charging 700 gold coins for these scrolls!"

"Guest, you can't say that. The latest caravan to come to Saville won't arrive until next spring. Our store has run out of inventory. This price is not high, not high at all."

"The caravan will come next year, but not many people will leave town in winter. The boss should know best how many sales there were in winter in previous years!"

The steward looked at Xia Duo again and said seriously, "Does this guest want to join our Eagle Chamber of Commerce? The salary of a mage apprentice is doubled, and the salary of a formal mage is doubled again."

Of course, Xia Duo righteously refused, and the two went back and forth several times before finally settling on the price.
