Chapter 732 733. Young nobles of the Green Empire

Seeing Roy disembarking along the sampan without looking back, young Mike punched the handrail of the boat with some annoyance.

His face turned red and the freckles on his face looked very obvious. He maintained his aristocratic status and thought that he could sit down and discuss it slowly with Roy. Unexpectedly, Roy didn't give him any chance and even rejected his offer. invite.

Businessman Darwin is currently the main person in charge of this caravan, and other empire merchants are looking at him.

A red-haired nobleman walked out from among the businessmen and took the opportunity to say to the businessman Darwin:

"Mr. Darwin, Boss Roy is not dissatisfied with the price quoted by Mike. Then... you can introduce him to me, and I will go and talk to Boss Roy."

This group of imperial businessmen is actually a group that is not too closely connected.

We all come from the Green Empire, and we help each other as much as we can. This is absolutely no problem.

Among this small group, businessman Darwin is able to occupy a dominant position because he controls the largest magic herbal trade in Castletown City and Mulayaki City, which gives him a big voice among this group of businessmen. right.

Among this group of imperial merchants, there is a group with a relatively special status. They are nobles from the Green Empire. These nobles are mainly young people. They have noble status and also want to engage in some business activities. .

There are only a few kinds of materials they want to purchase. For these nobles, they are most interested in the magic pattern structure of the Silver Moon Elf, and the other is the art of the Elf Kingdom. Finally, this kind of material can be used to exchange for merit. , obtain the black magic crystal with a higher title. They look down on almost all other products...

These young nobles are mixed among the imperial merchants and have little business acumen. Other merchants in this group will deliberately avoid these types of goods.

Mike saw that other nobles in his industry had more or less purchased the Black Magic Crystal. This time, businessman Darwin created an opportunity for him.

Seeing that Boss Roy decided to make a deal worth hundreds of thousands of magic crystals right away, Mike felt that the acquisition of black magic crystals would be easy for him...

But I didn't expect that boss Roy was even more cunning than a fox, and didn't even give himself any room for maneuver.

But this is the kingdom of elves, and my title is of no use in the elven world.

The red-haired nobleman is Mike's friend Spencer, but he will not resell the Black Magic Crystal to Mike after he bought it. He also needs the Black Magic Crystal.

Businessman Darwin stopped on the deck. He did not express any opinion on what just happened. He said to Spencer in a calm voice: "Tomorrow morning, I will visit Boss Roy in person. Then you can talk to Spencer." I'll go with you."

"That's really nice."

The red-haired Spencer cautiously touched his nose with his hand.

…

In the cabin, several young imperial nobles gathered together.

They all came by boat from the Green Empire, hoping to make a fortune in the Elf Kingdom and then return to the Green Empire.

They come to the Elf Kingdom for three main reasons:

First, meet a beautiful elf girl and complete an affair worth remembering.

Second, looking for some luxurious works of art in the elven kingdom. The way for the imperial nobles to improve their taste is actually very simple. In many cases, they imitate the fashion of the elves.

Third, purchase magic pattern structures in the Elf Kingdom. For the imperial nobles, precious magic pattern structures are a symbol of wealth and family heritage. The nobles will never discuss how many magic patterns are stored in their family's treasure house. Crystals, but how many sets of magic pattern constructs are in the treasure house, and whether the family has an organized construct knights order. In addition to the magic pattern structure, they also have to look for black magic crystals everywhere...

These young nobles came from the province of San Carlos, and they were all familiar with each other.

The Green Empire people even created a special vocabulary for this kind of travel to the elven kingdom. They called this behavior 'gilding'.

Several young people were sitting together, with dark purple red wine on the table. One of the young nobles had sunken eye sockets, looking like he had overindulged. At this time, he raised a piece of paper in his hand and spoke in a kind of way. He said in a distressing tone:

"We have received a letter from the Imperial Capital. The family asks us to return to the Green Empire as soon as possible. Due to the outbreak of the plane war, His Majesty Charles promised to use black magic crystals to exchange for meritorious deeds in order to stimulate the fighting will of the nobles. However, the current situation is that as the planes The war is intensifying, and the wars in various dimensions The situation keeps collapsing, and we don’t know how long this law can last. If we go back too late, we may not be able to get anything. The black magic crystal is destined to become less and less valuable in the future, but if we can bring back a sum now As for the black magic crystal, it can still allow us to be promoted to a noble title..."

The red-haired Spencer leaned against the wall, threw the dart in his hand in the center of the target, and said casually: "I will go with Darwin to meet with the boss Roy tomorrow morning, and I will buy the box of black magic crystals no matter what. "

"Oh, I haven't even gotten to know a Silver Moon elf girl seriously yet. Does it mean that our journey to the elf world will end so soon?" A young nobleman wearing a mage's robe said a little speechlessly.

"In fact, most Silver Moon Elf girls are very proud. In their eyes, the ideal lover must be as talented as the musician Claire..."

Mike leaned alone on the single sofa, silent.

The young aristocrat with a glass of wine in his eyes said to Mike:

"Mike, Merchant Darwin has been doing business in the elf world for so long. What kind of person do you think he is?"

"Very shrewd, never willing to suffer losses in business."

The young nobleman with deep eye sockets continued: "My father said that Darwin's pores are all empty. He is a real businessman. There is never any emotion in his eyes, only interests. Why do you think he is doing business with Boss Roy?" When... will you conclude the deal so simply?"

Before Mike could answer, the noble man with deep eye sockets said:

"Because he did this... purely to cater to Boss Roy's preferences."

"The process of the deal they negotiated seemed very simple, but they had already passed the initial testing period and trusted each other, so a deal could be settled in just a few words."

"But Boss Roy doesn't trust you! Mike. Although Darwin offered a low purchase price, Boss Roy is not a fool. He sold such a large amount of Black Magic Crystals. How could he not find out where the Black Magic Crystals are in Elf?" If he doesn't tell you the country's market price, it doesn't mean he doesn't know it. The first impression you give him may not be good. "

Spencer, who was leaning against the wall, pulled out the darts from the target again and continued:

"...This time I go, if I can, I will try my best to buy this black magic crystal. When I go back, it will be enough for me to buy a count."

After some exchanges, the young nobles began to relax.

After the simple party, watching his friend push open the door and walk out of the cabin, Mike felt extremely regretful. The opportunity he had clearly held in his hands was thrown away like this.

…

Roy carried two fresh snappers and walked out of the port pier.

He came to Brown Street alone and found that the grass in the yard of the Statue of Liberty Temple at the corner of the street had been tidied up. The tattered bluestone floor in the yard has also been renovated. The fountain in the front yard is still there, but the Statue of Liberty in the fountain is missing.

Through the iron fence, you can see that although the worn-out stone slabs on the ground have not been replaced, they have been carefully repaired.

All the wooden bars on the windows of the main hall were removed, and the stained glass was wiped clean.

While Roy was dazed, a half-blood elf crew member ran up behind him panting and handed an envelope to Roy.

"Boss Roy, this is a letter from Boss Darwin to you."

Roy turned around, reached out to take the letter, and tore open the envelope. In fact, there was just a small note inside, which wrote in Elvish:

'The nobles of the empire can obtain merit by paying black magic crystals to the kingdom. If their merit reaches a certain amount, they can be promoted to a noble title. The current exchange price of black magic crystals is determined according to the quantity. The larger the exchange amount, the higher the exchange ratio. One black magic crystal can be exchanged for two Magic crystals, ten black magic crystals can be exchanged for twenty-five magic crystals, a hundred black magic crystals can be exchanged for 300 magic crystals, and a thousand black magic crystals can be exchanged for 3,500 magic crystals. stone. ’

There is no signature or date, and even the paper is made of the lowest quality seagrass paper, which melts instantly when exposed to water.

No wonder Darwin secretly made a 'five' sign to himself, and Roy tore the note into pieces.

At this time, several mixed-blood elf children ran out of the temple and found someone standing at the door, so they ran over and looked curiously.

They were wearing modified clothes and they all looked thin, but their faces were pretty good...

"Are you from the Empire?" One of the mixed-blood elf children asked Roy.

Roy shook his head and said, "I'm not."

The mixed-blood elf asked curiously: "So you work on the dock?"

Roy shook his head again.

The mixed-blood elf child frowned and asked strangely: "Where are you from?"

"Partington plane." Roy answered.

Before the mixed-blood elf children could speak, a voice called from the main hall:

"Iris, are you done with your work?"

"Come on, come on, we are thirsty, let's go out and drink water..."

The mixed-blood elf children were like a flock of sparrows, they all flew away in a huff.

Roy did not stop at the door of the Statue of Liberty Temple because he found that the Statue of Liberty Temple had a new meaning...

Passing by Mrs. Winnie's pharmacy, Roy would still subconsciously stop and look at the low bush wall. Although the big black cat lived very freely in Sun Island Bay, he couldn't help but look towards the low bush wall. Take a look in the gap below.

The Danne River has entered the flood season again, and the rolling river water is rushing towards the sea. There are only two steps left by the river, and the river water looks very turbid.
