Jiang Han touched his nose. "Just name your price. I can manage."

"In that case, I won't be polite."

Thor nodded, then appeared to ponder, as if weighing the price.

Jiang Han wasn't in a hurry and waited patiently.

After a long while.

Thor said with a profound look, "Before naming a price, I need to confirm something."

Jiang Han: "Please speak."

Thor: "How much rice can one of your gold coins buy?"

Jiang Han couldn't help but sink into thought. It was indeed a deep-seated question.

Although I understand you want to confirm the value of the currency, do you dwarves even eat rice?

Jiang Han thought for a moment, "At the current market price, ten gold coins are equivalent to one bag of rice."

"What! Ten gold coins can buy a bag of rice? It's worth that much?"

Thor was shocked, then quickly calmed down. "I understand now. Wait for me a moment."

After speaking, he continued to talk to Durin.

"Durin, did you hear that? Ten gold coins can be exchanged for a bag of rice. The purchasing power is much higher than we imagined."

Thor whispered, "We can take this opportunity to earn more gold coins."

Durin nodded: "That's right. Looking at Ye Han's style, he must be rich. And he said that other humans don't have the ability to appraise this equipment. What does the book say about this situation? Supply... supply a ball..."

"It's supply and demand!" Thor said exasperatedly, "I told you to read more books and hammer less people, but you just wouldn't listen."

"Ah, right! That's what it means. I think the price can be slightly higher."

Durin echoed, "The opportunity is rare."

"Isn't that a bit much... We're not cunning goblins," Thor hesitated.

"You're confused, Thor!"

Durin said urgently, "If it were normal times, fine, but now, we're still on the road of migration. We need resources. Kindness and goodwill can't be exchanged for resources."

Thor became firm: "Yes, Durin, you're right. I must harden my heart."

He seemed to have made some kind of determination and turned to look at Jiang Han.

"I've thought about it. To appraise this divine artifact, you'll need at least this much!"

As he spoke, Thor held up five fingers.

Jiang Han narrowed his eyes, his thoughts racing. This gesture...

Is it five million?

Or fifty million?

But it doesn't matter. After all, it concerns a divine artifact, and only dwarves can appraise it. It's normal for the price to be high.

The next moment, Thor's roar rang out: "Five hundred gold coins!!!"

"How much?!"

For a moment, Jiang Han felt like he was mute, otherwise, how could he have heard Thor say such an absurd thing?

Such a high price, are you crazy?

"Five hundred gold coins!"

Thor emphasized loudly, "I said beforehand that the appraisal fee is very high, and the method of appraising divine artifacts is very special. Your human race doesn't have it. It's reasonable for me to set the price a little higher."

"This..."

Jiang Han was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to respond.

This price really caught him off guard.

That's like giving two 'beis' at a village feast...

Seeing that he didn't get a response for a long time, Thor was also a little unsure and roared at Durin, "Is my price a little too high?"

"Very likely. Fifty bags of rice! I've never seen that much in my life," Durin nodded.

"Then... lower it a bit?"

Thor hesitated for a moment, then looked at Jiang Han again, "Three hundred. It must be at least three hundred gold coins. If it's less than that, you can think of other ways."

Honestly, looking at such a strong man with maxed-out forging skills, who can even create divine artifacts, shout out a high price of three hundred gold coins, Jiang Han's heart was also extremely complicated.

It seems that the dwarves' lives have been quite miserable during these times of seclusion in the dense forest...

Thinking about it, it's already not easy for a race that never communicates with the outside world to continue to this day. How could they be associated with the word 'wealthy'?

"However, this can be used as a breakthrough point."

Thoughts raced through his mind, and Jiang Han's thoughts became active.

If these dwarves can be kept here to forge equipment, wouldn't that be awesome?

Jiang Han decided to give these dwarves, who were used to being poor, a little shock. He slowly said: "One million gold coins."

"What?" Thor was stunned.

Jiang Han said calmly: "As long as the divine artifact is successfully appraised, I will pay you two a reward of one million gold coins."

"O...one million?!"

Durin's eyes widened suddenly, "Are... are you serious? One million gold coins, how much rice can that buy?"

Thor felt his heart pounding. If there really was so much rice, wouldn't they never have to eat grass roots again?

Eating rice every meal, what kind of fairy life is that?

"I can pay a deposit in advance."

Jiang Han naturally wouldn't be stingy. Considering that the dwarves didn't have a common account for storing gold coins, he casually took out a bag of gold coins and threw it in front of Thor.

"This is a thousand gold coins. Even if I'm lying to you, it exceeds the price you offered. You can count it."

"Let me see."

Thor tremblingly picked up the cloth bag, opened it, and sure enough, there were golden round objects inside. He took out a gold coin, tested its weight, and weighed the bag.

With his superb forging skills, his control over weight was meticulous. With just two simple movements, he could discern how many gold coins were in the cloth bag.

Sure enough, all of them added up to a thousand gold coins, no more, no less.

"You're really giving it?"

This time, Thor and Durin were both stunned. A full hundred bags of rice were in their hands?

No!

The ancestors said that something strange must be afoot!

Being so generous, there must be something wrong. There must be a problem with some part of this!

Thor suddenly shuddered, then roared in a low voice: "I remember, you said ten gold coins can buy a bag of rice? How do you prove it?"

"What if this bag of gold coins can't even be exchanged for a bag of rice? Wouldn't we suffer a great loss?"

"I don't believe that such a precious thing as rice can be bought with a mere ten gold coins."

"Yes!" Durin also reacted, "How do you prove it?"

Jiang Han: "..."

Good fellow, the moment rice was mentioned, both feet left the ground, the virus closed, and the clever intelligence reoccupied the high ground.

"It's simple, I'll just give you rice."

Jiang Han was too lazy to argue and directly opened the communication system.

"Ye Han, what's the matter?"

After a moment, Sophia's mature and intellectual voice rang out.

"It's like this..."

Jiang Han quickly explained the matter.

"I understand." As soon as Sophia heard this, she understood the importance of the matter. "I'll have people bring more food over immediately."

"Thank you."

Jiang Han hung up the phone and looked at Thor and Durin, "Please wait a moment."

"There's really rice?" Thor stretched his neck and asked tentatively.

"Of course." Jiang Han nodded with a smile, "Plenty."

"Okay, then we'll wait."

Although he was still a little unbelieving, Thor decided to wait, anyway, there was no loss.

The three waited patiently.

Not long.

"Tatatata..."

A cloud of dust rose in the distance, and a Duke's Mansion guard in silver armor drove a chariot.

And on the chariot, in bags piled up like a small hill.

Full of rice.
