Chapter 274 Deepwater Valley Mining Merchant Group [Please subscribe]
The continent of Naroa is so vast.
The places Chen Xuan has set foot on so far are just a drop in the ocean.
Not to mention the small Magtan City, even the huge city of Atax with tens of millions of people in the city is nothing compared to the entire Naroa continent.
Under such circumstances, I try to figure out the landscape of the entire continent based on my personal opinions.
That's a little too arrogant.
In fact, the Naroa continent is not that advanced, but it is not considered backward.
At the very least, it is a world that is self-consistent in all aspects.
Suddenly, Chen Xuan suddenly felt something in his heart.
I still want to walk more in the future and take a good look at this wonderful world.
Suddenly his horizons were broadened, and Chen Xuan couldn't help but have a new desire to explore.
Shaking his head, he no longer thought about those things that were and were not.
Taking this opportunity, he also wanted to see the trading situation in the shop.
Magatan lacks a large amount of supplies. The current situation is that there is money that cannot be spent, rather than that there is no money to spend.
If all the funds on hand were spent, the materials purchased would be enough to expand the size of Magatan City by two or three times.
So taking advantage of the opportunity of coming to Sentinel Shop, Chen Xuan also planned to find several suitable and capable business groups.
Relying on the long-distance teleportation array at Black Leaf Sentinel, the circulation of materials here is very convenient.
After walking a few steps along the entrance of the store, he soon found a merchant that interested him.
The merchant hung a signboard with the words "Deepwater Valley Minerals Stationed in Black Leaf Sentinel Merchant Group".
Various metal ingots and some amorphous ore wool are piled in the hay shed at the rear.
Those ingots were neatly stacked together, with at least hundreds of pieces of each type.
They were all piled up into a square shape, glowing with different metallic lusters under the light of the sun.
Each piece of metal casting is the same size.
They are all cuboids with a length of 60 centimeters, a width of 35 centimeters, and a thickness of 20 centimeters.
The weight depends on the type of metal.
Among them, the most numerous and eye-catching ones are black iron ingots.
This thing is also the most commonly used ingot in the casting field of Naloa continent.
But generally speaking, black iron ingots are also the easiest to obtain.
You only need to melt the black iron coins to get the casting materials.
And there is a huge amount of black iron coins in any settlement.
However, in terms of price and cost, the finished ingot is much cheaper than directly melting and casting black iron coins.
The difference between them is roughly equivalent to the trading gold and jewelry gold in Blue Star.
As consumables, buying ingots is definitely more cost-effective than melting black iron coins.
The metal ingots stacked on site may not seem to be large in quantity, but in fact they can satisfy the consumption of a city-level blacksmith association for nearly four naroa months.
The total value of this shipment reached millions or even tens of millions of kronor.
Most of the people who come here to buy ingots are the blacksmith apprentices who are responsible for running errands in small settlements.
You only need to buy three or four pieces of each casting material to meet your short-term needs.
Chen Xuan observed silently for a while, and then walked to the mineral stall in the Deepwater Valley.
The emblem of the Deepwater Valley Minerals is a winding river and a mining pickaxe.
This emblem looks relatively simple, but it is easy to remember and easy to leave a deep impression on people.
He only stood for a moment before a clerk in a robe and uniform came over.
The uniform looks like work clothes and a mechanic's apron.
It was also covered in mineral oil and dirt.
"Deepwater Valley Minerals is at your service."
The clerk is a pure-blood human who looks young, but a little fat.
The bulging cheeks were also stained with black mineral stains.
Chen Xuan nodded, reached into his pocket, grabbed a handful, and took out the list issued by Baron Bezos.
"The quantity I need is relatively large."
"I wonder if Deepwater Valley can provide delivery services?"
"Besides, the inventory here cannot fully meet my needs."
He did not give out the details in a hurry, but asked the question first Throw it to the other party.
But I saw the fat little clerk showing a confident smile.
"Deepwater Valley Minerals is one of the largest mining groups in the Kingdom of Duroa." "
We have many of the best mineral veins in the Kingdom." "
At the same time, we also have the best refining technology."
"If you need it It is relatively large, with the total order amount exceeding two million crowns. The business group can complete the transfer of goods through the teleportation array at the sentry point within three Naloya days." "
As for delivery, of course it is also within our service scope."
" For orders totaling more than 100,000 kronor, free delivery is available within a 500-kilometer radius." "For
orders totaling more than 1 million kroner, we can deliver goods within a 5,000-kilometer radius."
At this point, he turned around and pointed at the person he was working on. A giant land beast resting behind a temporary warehouse.
Then he said in a more confident tone.
"Our giant land beast can travel 1,000 kilometers a day under heavy load!"
After hearing his description, Chen Xuan shook his head.
"Land-walking giant beasts?"
"No, they are still too slow."
"Forget it, I can find a way to solve the transportation problem myself."
"You should convert the transportation service into a discount for me.
" The beast has almost the highest carrying capacity and speed among ground beasts of burden.
These behemoths are about 12 meters long, comparable to a large bus.
They have thick tails that help maintain balance.
It has eight thick cylindrical legs.
The back is relatively flat and covered with a strong carapace.
The single carrying capacity is 170 times that of a four-eyed ox, 266 times that of a mountain horse, and 210 times that of a coolie mule.
It has excellent endurance and can continuously trek for more than four water hours.
Just rest for a water hour before you can move on.
It is mild-tempered and omnivorous, mainly eating a variety of forage and fresh plants.
Manure is rich in fiber and can be used as fuel when dried.
The most important thing is that it can also cast several first-level to second-level earth spells.
Land-walking giant beasts are priceless in the beast of burden market, and they are large-scale magical beasts that even those with money may not be able to buy.
The Black Leaf Outpost is equipped with three heads. Looking at all the merchants in the merchant, it is considered a luxurious configuration.
And traveling a thousand kilometers a day is actually not that slow.
It is only seven or eight thousand kilometers from Magtan City to the giant city of Atax.
Let the giant land beast make a trip, and it will only take seven or eight days to arrive.
Of course, the day here refers to Naraya Day.
For the native people of Naloa, delivery by a giant land beast is definitely a luxurious service.
But Chen Xuan sneered at this.
This attitude made the chubby clerk feel a little dissatisfied.
The guy dressed as a mercenary in front of him had a really loud tone.
He wanted to see how much the other party wanted to buy.
He silently glanced at the bronze-level adventurer emblem Chen Xuan wore on his chest.
Quietly concealing the contempt in his eyes.
Bronze-level adventurers are at the bottom of the Black Leaf Outpost.
As for the Black Iron-level adventurers, it is difficult to survive within the jurisdiction of the Sentinel Point.
The surrounding monster burrows are not comparable to Bangcheng in terms of scale and number.
In Magtan City, bronze-level adventurers are considered the mainstay, while black-iron level adventurers are considered the bottom.
When they arrive at Blackleaf Sentinel, bronze-level adventurers become the real bottom class.
And black iron level adventurers have absolutely no presence here.
The level of the region is different, and the strength level and contempt chain will also progress accordingly.
Obviously, Chen Xuan, who wears the bronze-level emblem, is now at the end of the contempt chain.
"Well, this issue is of course up to you."
"But how much do you want to buy?"
Chen Xuan squinted his eyes and glanced at the thatched warehouse behind him.
The large accumulation of metal ingots filled the air nearby with the smell of iron filings.
After roughly appraising the quantity in his mind, Chen Xuan waved his hand.
"I need all the goods you have here."
"In addition, we need 500 pieces of precision forged alloy castings, 900 magic stones, 600 molten crystals, 350 pieces of orichalcum ingots with Hall powder added, and mithril wires. 90 bundles, 150 bags each of low-level elemental magic gem powder, 90 boxes of fire ore..."
Chen Xuan reported a long list of metal materials according to the list.
These materials cannot be purchased in the settlements around Magtan City.
Originally, we could only go to the giant city of Attucks, but now that there are so many shops in Blackleaf Outpost and many powerful business groups, it is a good choice to solve it all at once here.
According to the plan, this batch of materials can be used by the Magatan City Blacksmith Association and the Alchemy Workshop for more than three Naroa months, which is enough to support the consumption of doubling the defense area.
Mainly manufacturing various types of equipment and consumables such as arrows/crossbow bolts.
There are also rune enhancements and magic formations required for frontline fortifications, etc.
After hearing the list reported by Chen Xuan, the plump clerk was stunned.
"Your Excellency...you are not kidding, are you?"
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes silently.
"Of course not."
"Go and call your manager."
"Calculate the price. I hope to see the goods ready before sundown."
Seeing that Chen Xuan's expression didn't look like he was joking, the guy finally became serious. got up.
He ran back in a panic, and soon a bearded dwarf wearing an exquisite robe and a jeweled ring came over.
This dwarf looks quite young, and the corners of his eyes are already covered with wrinkles.
There are more than a dozen different emblems, large and small, hanging on his chest, demonstrating his abilities and identity.
This is also a common situation in the Naloa continent.
After all, there are countless fancy associations and organizations here.
Almost every organization represents one or more specific technical expertise and capabilities.
The more emblems you hang, the stronger your ability is. You must know that
dwarves usually live longer than humans, and they are not considered adults until they are forty years old.
The signs of aging don’t begin until you’re one hundred and twenty years old.
Even dwarves who do not practice magic can easily live to be two or three hundred years old.
If you have a certain level of magic cultivation, the upper limit of your average life span will be extended to a certain extent.
The price of the long lifespan of the population is that the overall fertility is relatively low.
Dwarf couples basically have one child for life, and it is difficult to conceive a second child.
Fertility can only be increased by drinking from the Dwarven Fountain.
Legend has it that it was a gift from Muradin.
As the spring water becomes increasingly scarce, the dwarf population is gradually shrinking.
Intermarriage has become the second choice for many dwarves.
It has to be said that this is also a reflection of ethnic characteristics and balance.
If there really is an ethnic group with long lifespan and strong fertility, then it will be just around the corner to dominate the Naroa continent.
So the slightly old dwarf in front of him is at least one or two hundred years old.
"Hello, Mr. Young Adventurer."
"First of all, let me introduce myself."
"I am Reza Ironstone, the manager of the Deepwater Valley Mining Merchant Group at the Black Leaf Outpost." "
The fourth-level blacksmith of the Kingdom of Duroa , a fourth-level mineral appraiser, a second-level deacon of the Furnace Association..."
As Chen Xuan expected, the dwarf named Reza Tieshi came up and introduced himself.
The lengthy titles and names of various associations made him drowsy.
But he did not interrupt because it would be very rude to do so according to etiquette.
After introducing himself for about a minute, Reza Ironstone finally stopped talking.
"The total amount of materials you purchased exceeds 10 million kroner."
"You can receive a dark gold card for Deepwater Valley Mining's key customers." "You can
get a 92% discount with the card, but a single purchase must exceed 1 million kroner. "
Besides, my guy told me that you don't need us to provide delivery services." "
Here we can reduce the cost of 350,000 kroner for you." "
It's equivalent to hiring 6 land-traveling beasts to transport 5,000 kilometers one way. Price."
"Now, you need to hand over at least three million kroner on the spot, and we will prepare the goods for you immediately."
Reza Ironstone's business ability is obviously much stronger than that of the fat clerk.
And it's not sloppy at all.
First, the approximate total price of the goods was estimated.
Then he talked about the preferential measures offered by the business group, which sounded reasonable and convincing.
After he finished speaking, he ordered the clerk to fetch a large wooden barrel with a diameter of two meters.
With a smile, he motioned for Chen Xuan to pay three million crowns in advance.
This amount of money is regarded as an intention deposit, mainly to prove financial strength and exclude oral pleasure.
Previously, there was a balance of about 20 million kronor in the municipal treasury of Magatan.
When he conquered the whole city, he collected about 60 to 70 million crowns from various scattered channels.
In addition, the blacksmiths' association, alchemy workshop, magic association and other organizations in the city have a total reserve fund of more than 190 million crowns.
Finally, about 600 million privately minted dark gold coins and 327 melted dark gold bricks were found from Ansetus's treasury.
Each dark gold brick has the same specifications, and after subsequent determination, the value is around 130,000 kronor.
Therefore, the amount of funds currently available in Magtan City has reached nearly one billion crowns.
Except for the 100 million left for the city's finances and the 100 million crowns carried by Baron Bezos.
The remaining funds are in Chen Xuan's storage compartment.
He stretched out his right hand, where he wore a storage bracelet.
Of course, this thing is just for cover-up.
After confirming that the location was accurate, he began the process of taking out the dark gold coins.
The price of dark gold coins in recent days is 1,179 crowns, which is considered a small high.
So you only need to take out 2545 pieces to count.
As for the small changes, it’s okay not to mention them. Anyway, when the total price is finally calculated, you still have to haggle.
More than two thousand dark gold coins of excellent quality fell into the large wooden barrel with a "dinging sound".
In a short time, a small mountain of gold was piled up.
