"Narant, what are you looking at?" At this moment, Rael was over there. Boris, who had finally negotiated the price, saw Narant talking to the middle-aged man in front of the store and left curiously. come over.
"Nothing, just curious to see a yellow elf that is an ore!"
"What ore?" Boris also walked closer.
"My lord, this is a white crystal ore!" the middle-aged man spoke again.
"Bah! Who did you trick your grandmother? How is this possible? Where can crystal ore be so finely divided? Narante, don't be fooled!" Boris, an aristocratic man, doesn't have a good temper towards outsiders. He immediately spoke out.
"Sir, you can't talk nonsense. This is really a white crystal mine. The crystals are a little bit special. That's why my family let them be sold. Yes, and they only cost fifty gold coins!"
"For fifty gold coins, I guess the one that looks like white crystal but is useless is an unknown ore, right? No one will buy it even for ten gold coins. Let's go, Nalant!" This is what happened! Boris had seen too many unknown effects and made a lot of money by selling the ore as a similar ore.
"Boris, I think it's possible, Crystal!" Nalant, however, did not follow Boris away.
"My lord, you are right. It's white crystal! Sir, you trust me so much. Yes, if you are willing to buy it! I will sell this white crystal mine to you for 48 gold coins!" The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks looked happy. Speak immediately.
"Narant..."
Narant, who still wanted to say something, said, "Boris, if I want to do the perfume business, I need exquisite perfume bottles, so I am going to decorate the perfume bottles with tiny crystals!"
"Although this mine doesn't look like it's really crystal, I'm still ready to take a gamble!"
After hearing this, Boris opened his mouth and finally said so. Nalant, who chose not to bite, had said so, but he had nothing to say.
"I really want to buy this yellow elf, but the price is too expensive!" After Boris said nothing, Nalant looked at the middle-aged man.
"Then what do you think is appropriate, sir?" The middle-aged man said with a smile of anticipation.
"Ten gold coins!"
"..." middle-aged man.
"My lord, this...this is really too low!" After a moment, the middle-aged man said with a grimace.
"I just wanted to take a bet. If my friend says I hit the right one, the ten gold coins will probably be wasted! So are you willing to sell it?" Nalan Te looked matter-of-factly.
"Sorry sir, this price is impossible!"
"Oh, forget it then! I don't have many gold coins with me!" Hearing this, Nalant shook his head in disappointment.
"Let's go, Narant!" Boris was relieved when he saw this. The ten gold coins he bought would most likely be wasted.
The sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked man was troubled when he saw that Nalant had really left.
Of course not, the lord of his family has already experimented with the white crystal.
Although the ore particles are transparent, they are not strong at all and will break or turn into white powder if you polish them casually.
This time, they specially brought Tulip City to sell as white crystal. They didn't intend to trick them once and run away anyway. The Tulip Earldom was a human being.
However, it was obvious that the nobles did not want to fool the young man just now. The only one who was willing to bargain was the noble.
However, the ten gold coins sold at a price that was too low. The yellow elf had only been in possession of it for a month. It was a shame that the lord belonged to his grandmother's family.
While the middle-aged man was struggling, there was Narante, chatting and laughing with Rael and others and getting ready to leave.
Rael finally bought the green elf with nine-year effectiveness for seventy-five gold coins. Calculating, the green elf's one-year effectiveness is nearly equal to more than eight gold coins.
"Sir, if you really want it, I can give you an extra twenty gold coins! If my family is in urgent need of money, I can sell it to you for just twenty gold coins!" The middle-aged man was really reluctant to leave when he saw Nalant. It was shouted.
"These fifteen gold coins, I am also the highest bidder, just in case you are betting, yes, my fifteen gold coins will be wasted!" Nalant hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth and gave. The highest price!
"This white crystal is really a great deal! I'm rushing to send money back to the lord." The middle-aged man agreed heartily.
At this moment, both parties' acting skills reached their peak. Although it was a bit exaggerated, they both felt that they had achieved their goals.
Next, things were very simple. Both parties completed the contract replacement of the elf in person.
After confirming that the elf was of the correct age, Nalant handed fifteen gold coins to the middle-aged man.
"Boss, since the deal is completed, I will take the ore with me too!" Before leaving, Nalant did not forget to take the ore as a sample.
"Okay, I have a small box here and I'll give it to you!" The middle-aged man didn't know what to do when he saw Nalant paying so readily. No, he felt that he had been cheated and he even took out a wooden stick from the side. The inside of the box is also filled with ores.
"Thank you very much!" Nalant accepted it without any courtesy.
After asking his bodyguard to take the wooden box with him, Narant and others headed straight out of the market.
Boris on the road looked at Nalant and shook his head, and Rael had already heard what Boris had reported and looked at Nalant with a strange expression.
Of course, Nalant couldn't explain it to the two of them because the ore was somewhat special.
He basically confirmed through the memory of his previous life that this was the saltpeter mine.
That's right, Thomas, who excitedly asked Thomas about it last time, replied that he had never heard of it being a saltpeter mine.
Saltpeter is a colorless, white or gray crystalline white powder with glassy luster, easily soluble in water, bitter and cold in taste. Black powder is one of the main ingredients used by armies of time travellers.
Although gunpowder is not of much use in this fantasy world, saltpeter ore is a must-have for time travellers. Even if it is just a time traveler, Nalant can use it for collection.
Moreover, in addition to making gunpowder, the saltpeter in his memory can also make ice. For him without a refrigerator or air conditioner, the value of saltpeter is much higher than fifteen gold coins.
Previously, the middle-aged man thought that he had made a lot of money by cheating Nalant, but he didn't know that even if he didn't lose a penny, Nalant would find a way to raise money to buy the elf.
Just like this, the three of them walked all the way back to the castle. Just as they passed the Tulip Square, Boris pointed to a manor on the side and said to Narant, "Narant, that's where you look, Orr." Ding is one of the industries!”
Nalant looked along and saw that there were many people queuing at the entrance of the small manor.
"Why are there so many people?" Nalant was a little surprised.
Could it be that Aldin has brought the perfume business to this point?
"Because of the ice! Didn't I, Narante, say that Alding's most profitable business is ice?"
"At the beginning, the title of the Tulip family was inherited by the earl. However, the old earl also loved Aldin very much and left a lot of manor properties for him in the city. He also built an ice cellar for him, so every summer Erdin can make a lot of money from ice!" Boris explained.
"Huh! What a coincidence! Haha!" Nalant nodded with a meaningful smile on his face!
