The sunlight shines through the stone, showing a pure dark red color in the middle.
She did not hide her liking: "This piece is good, I will give you the price of 7 silver coins."
7 silver coins is the price of one pound. When converted into kilograms there, it is two gold coins per kilogram, which is higher than the last bid for the five kilogram piece.
The two brothers were a little confused. They didn't expect that the smaller one was more valuable. They licked their faces and asked, "Sister Liv, why is the smaller one better?"
Liv gave a smile and asked, "Can you see the red inside?"
The two of them shook their heads. In their eyes, everything was dark and foggy even when viewed against the light.
"So don't ask, I promise I won't trick you."
Liv didn't lie. If she wasn't a real mage, it would be hard to see this red color, and naturally she wouldn't offer a higher price because of it.
The two brothers were very happy, but when the accounts were settled, they were immediately poured cold water on them.
"We collected too much this time and it will take a long time for the store to use it up. If it is not of this quality next time, you will have to find other places to sell it."
"ah!?"
Liv was not in vain, and pointed out a clear path for the two of them: "Come back in two days, and I will give you a mage's eye capsule. Then you will be able to tell the difference. Remember, as long as you look at the sun, you can see Red light.”
"Oh oh oh!"
After completing the deal and sending the two brothers away, Liv took the piece with the highest purity home and went underground through a secret passage.
When the magic lamp was lit, a large number of bookshelves were revealed. Almost every bookshelf was filled to the brim with books, and some were piled on the floor.
Putting the obsidian on the desk with the mage's hand, Liv rummaged through the bookshelves.
Because there were too many books, it took a long time to find what she wanted: Focus Stone, a special type of obsidian. You can use the mage's eye to point at the sun to observe red light. Its purpose is to charge it repeatedly to release a ring of spells indefinitely. , there is a certain chance of shattering when used as a second-level spell carrier, and it can be used as a disposable consumable to carry fourth-level spells.
This thing is comparable to a magic crystal as a magic device, but it is of little use to a real mage.
First-level spells are basically tricks with no offensive power, such as low light for lighting and sparks for making fire. They are very suitable for selling to mercenaries and adventurers, but even if they can be recharged repeatedly, few people will buy them. Magic The items are slightly expensive after all.
What Liv values is that it is one level higher than ordinary obsidian and can be loaded with fourth-level spells, which is already a level with a certain level of power, such as continuous fireballs, range-type slowness, rage, etc.
In the past, there were two production methods for disposable fourth-level spell consumables. One was to use magic crystal powder and leather to make scrolls, and the other was to use defective magic crystals. Both were very expensive.
If the two Qingyan guys can get more energy-concentrating stones, they can produce high-priced consumables at a lower cost.
Liv didn't care much about profits, she was more concerned about where the little guy got the energy-focusing stone.
The two known obsidian producing areas are occupied by powerful lords. Judging from the interval between the two recent transactions, the two brothers may have gone to some forbidden areas.
The dangers in the forbidden areas are very random. Some are occupied by deadly monsters, and some are related to certain gods.
After hesitating, he decided to observe for the time being and see how much Manu brothers could get.
…
The Manu brothers became rich.
After leaving Liv's prop shop, the two brothers found a craftsman and sold the obsidian fragments for five gold coins. Including the money from selling the large pieces, they had nearly 120 gold coins.
There was too much money, and passers-by looked at them as if they were about to rob them, so the two hurried home.
Home is not actually home, it is just a group of Qingyan tribe orphans who were gathered together to take care of them. After the death of their aunt, they relied on mutual help to survive until now.
As soon as the two came back, a group of younger brothers and sisters came up to help. Some led the camel beast to feed, some helped carry the luggage, and some were only responsible for chirping.
But it wasn't that friendly. Brother Manu grabbed the little brother who was leading the camel beast and asked, "What's going on on your face?"
The little brother hesitated,
A little girl reported: "Brother Esther beat me."
"He's not my brother!" The little brother said with a temper. "I don't usually see people, but when I come back I know he wants money. If I can win, I will definitely... spread his ass!"
Esther is also one of the orphans, and the oldest among all the people here, but he doesn't learn well and goes to hang out with a group of mercenaries who are actually bandits. He can't help the family at all, and he keeps coming back. Want money.
He actually beat someone up this time. If he had put a few more gold coins in the house, no one would have died!
Brother Manu was annoyed, but he didn't say anything out loud. He waited for the few who had been out cutting wood to buy firewood at night to come back and invited his younger brothers and sisters to drink sugar water.
The sugar water I brought back last time was all exchanged for money. This time I had enough money on hand for everyone to enjoy.
It's a bit more sour and slightly off-flavored than the one in Phoenix, but it's still delicious. More than a hundred pounds of sugar water, a dozen children drank it up in no time, while a few older ones were reluctant to part with it and were forced to finish it.
"Manu, are you rich?"
The person who asked the question was Bron, who was responsible for selling firewood at the market and the baskets woven by his younger siblings. He was not strong enough to take him out to do business.
"You can continue taking classes after making some money."
"..." Bron, who shot himself in the foot, immediately withered.
There are no serious schools in Pangxun City. When the aunt was still there, she would teach a little by herself. Now if she wants to study, she has to pay for it.
According to Brother Manu's idea, let's just go to Phoenix City. There seems to be a lot of people who are literate there, and the order is better than in other cities.
But Brother Manu is hesitant on this point. The youngest of his brothers and sisters is only five years old. If he doesn’t hire more guards, he will be in danger on the road. In addition, there are only Night Clan and Sharp Blade Clan in Phoenix City, and his family, the Qingyan Clan, has moved there and disappeared. It has to be a good thing.
In the end, I relied on my brother's opinion and spent two days arranging teachers of the same race for the younger brothers and sisters. I also hired two guards and a woman to help with housework.
There are no valuables in the house. The main task of the guard is to prevent Esther from coming back to cause trouble. When he is free, he can teach some boys some fighting skills.
The teacher's salary is slightly higher, 3 gold coins a month, which is almost equivalent to half a year's work as a firewood worker. The guards and houseworkers together are also 3 gold coins.
Six gold coins per month is not a problem for the Manu brothers who have a huge amount of money and master secret business routes. They will definitely form a caravan in the future. The younger brothers and sisters can also help after learning some knowledge, and they don't have to do those knife-headed licking of blood. thing. uuread a book
Go to the market to buy a few old books, and leave two gold coins for household use. Even if the household chores are arranged, go and make a lot of money!
The two brothers squatted in the market for several days, carefully researching the prices of various spices and trying to figure out their fragrances.
Finally, I chose a spice called Huangsi as the main ingredient.
Yellow silk is both pungent and spicy, with a sweet aroma. It is used to remove fishy food and use aromatherapy to eliminate insects. The key point is that the orcs have a good harvest of yellow silk. The price sold in Pang Xuncheng this year is very cheap. It only costs 5 silver coins per pound. It can be cheaper if you buy more. .
The amount of spices used is small, so even a less wealthy family can find a way to buy some this year.
The price of 5 silver coins, which works out to one and a half gold coins per kilogram, is enough to buy a lot of salt. Salt with 6 gold coins can be sold for over 300 yuan in Phoenix City.
But as a businessman, you can't settle accounts like this, because the load is something that the big brothers on the road keep a close eye on. If you transport dozens of cars of salt, it won't be delivered to the ground without a huge escort team on land. Only that kind of name can intimidate you. Various small businesses and giant chambers of commerce can do this kind of business.
Novices like the Manu brothers can hire a few guards to transport two cars at most, so the profit of a single product is more important.
They bought two carts of salt and hid thirty kilograms of yellow silk. They bought quite a lot, and the purchase price was only 4 silver coins per pound.
They purchased a new small trailer and camel beast, hired four more serious guards, and had thirty gold coins left. They planned to go see if they could harvest some wool directly from their doomed place, Red Stone City.
Of course, I didn't forget to go to Liv's Props Shop before departure to get the Mage's Eye Capsule, and also replenished two Language Knowledge Capsules.
