"These two rubies are of high quality at first glance. Even one ruby is probably enough to offset the value of these goblins."
The human clerk still had some business ethics. At this time, he took a cat's eye-sized gem from Allen's hand and looked at it carefully against an oil lamp.
"But I am not a professional appraiser after all. I need to ask a professional to appraise the price of this ruby before I can give the customer an answer."
"this is necessary."
Allen was satisfied with the other party's honesty. If the other party had just deceived him and directly exchanged two rubies for these goblins, Allen might have had an excuse to give up on these goblins and turn around and go home.
"Guest, please wait."
The human guy handed the gem back to Allen, then turned and left, not afraid that Allen would take the opportunity to do any sabotage here.
Not long after, a goblin, led by a human assistant, walked up to Allen and raised his hand to ask for the ruby in his hand.
"This is Ferok, the chief appraiser of our chamber of commerce. He will appraise the value of the ruby for you, the guest."
The human waiter enthusiastically introduced the goblin appraiser, who was slightly shorter than both of them.
Allen was surprised. He didn't expect that the appraiser of this shop would be one of his own race.
The goblin appraiser Ferok also did not expect that today's guests would be members of his own race. The complex look in his eyes flashed away, but he did not show it too much. However, the two rubies handed over by Allen were carefully appraised. .
"It is transparent and flawless, with a deep color and a weight of about 113 far grams. It can be identified as a grade 1 gemstone. It is used as the core of biological creatures. A single piece is worth 150 gold coins."
After weighing and examining the gems in a magnifying glass and a scale, Philok gave a correct answer. This is the advantage of a store with real estate. Their business practices are mostly fair, unlike the street vendors in Gray Shadow Alley, who take advantage of every extra point they can, without any bottom line.
"Guest, are you going to sell two of them together, or just one?"
Ferok actually took care of Allen quietly for a while. After all, very few people from the goblin lineage can stand out. Just like him being the chief appraiser of the Chamber of Commerce, there are too many opportunities. However, behind this opportunity, there is boundless murderous intention. If he makes one wrong choice, he, Ferok, will no longer exist as he does now.
Although it was only the first time he met Allen, Ferok had already developed some good feelings from the bottom of his heart. The pure brilliance in the other's eyes reflected the light of wisdom. Perhaps the path he could take in the future would be even further. It can bring some slight changes to the troubled goblin clan. It is rare to see another member of the same clan who has made a difference. Although it is impossible to predict how far the other party can go, Ferok does not mind giving a little benefit to the other party in insignificant places.
The two rubies in Allen's hands are indeed of first-level quality, but there are considerable fluctuations in price. Generally, the normal price fluctuates around 120-130 gold coins. Although the Chamber of Commerce is relatively fair, it is appropriate to squeeze out a little more value. . However, Ferok used the power in his hands to raise the price of gems by 10%, which was regarded as a discount for his fellow clan members.
The seemingly important position of chief appraiser allows Ferok to enjoy power and status that other goblins cannot enjoy. However, behind the scenes, every choice he faces is under the gaze of outsiders. It's the end of being ruined. A few seemingly useless goblin slaves, Ferok may only need to interject a few words to give them a better living environment. However, the Chamber of Commerce itself is involved in the slave business. Even if it is in a high position, it wants to turn the wilderness around. Countless goblins have a bright future, but most of them are hopeless.
In the early years, Philok also rescued many tribesmen with his passion and made arrangements for them. However, the three branches of the goblin line had their own shortcomings. It would take a lot of energy and financial resources to cultivate talents from them. In the end, Philok Katsuya could only let go sadly and let the chamber of commerce carry out various acts of enslavement to the goblin lineage.
"Well……"
Allen was shocked by the price quoted by the goblin. He was prepared for the high value of the jewelry, but he did not expect it to have such a high value. If he had known at that time, he should not have given Regis and the others a ruby. Maybe Regis later looked at him differently, which may have something to do with the moment he gave them the gem.
"Sell one first."
After thinking about it for a while, Allen still put away a ruby and then handed the other party another gem.
There are almost all the things that should be bought now, and Allen doesn't need too much jewelry. After the jewelry is sold at this moment, it will not only be enough to buy the gnomes in the store, but there may be a lot leftover. Allen's arithmetic ability is not enough to calculate more than a hundred, so he can only make a rough estimate, and the rest depends on the final answer given by the store.
"Then how many greenskins do you need to buy? Do you want to take care of all the goblins in the cage?"
The wealth in Allen's hands was so rich that the human clerk, who was only somewhat expecting it, was overjoyed and quickly asked the other party's intentions.
"Buy them all, thank you."
Allen nodded. He was worried about the lack of people in the tribe and thinking about how to improve the strength of the tribe. Now he encountered goblin slaves for sale. Whether it was out of sympathy for his fellow tribesmen or the need for the tribe, he They are all planning to buy all the goblin slaves in this shop.
"Boy, what are you doing buying so many goblins?"
Ferok on the side interrupted and asked curiously.
Allen also had some recognition of a talented goblin. He had encountered bugbears and hobgoblin adventurers along the way, and even talked with these people, but in the end he was disappointed. These goblins who joined the ranks of adventurers and mercenaries mostly relied on their physical strength and barely became cannon fodder in other teams. Although they could communicate normally, they did not make Allen feel bright. Talent, I can't even think of wooing him.
On the other hand, the current goblin's martial arts ability may not be half as good as Allen's, but the appraisal talent displayed by the other person requires a foundation of knowledge that Allen has always felt is missing.
"Mr. Ferok, I am the leader of the Greenfield Tribe in the Mansha Wilderness. I met these tribesmen today and after seeing what happened to them, I couldn't bear it. I only thought about rescuing them, but I had no other plans. "
Allen respected the other party's ability, and the gradually graying beard on his chin also verified the other party's old age, so he answered humbly.
"Green Field Tribe? Which corner is that?"
Ferok frowned and thought carefully, but found nothing.
"Here we go northwest, passing by the Kobold Thunder Tribe, then crossing the Tagan Desert, and finally arriving at Green Lake, which is the territory of our tribe."
Allen originally didn't want to reveal the location of his tribe to outsiders, but for some reason, in front of this old goblin with burning eyes, he revealed the approximate location of his tribe without much hesitation.
"I've never heard of it. It doesn't seem like it's a big tribe."
Ferok shook his head, still getting nothing.
"No matter what you are doing to redeem these goblins, since you said you are the leader of a clan, then maybe there are a few slaves you need."
