Chapter 298 This is a win-win!
Because the conflict between the northern border areas of the Kaya Empire and the orcs intensified.
The trading market of Graystone Castle has many items from the Orc Empire that Brand has never seen before.
In fact, there are some human nations in the northern part of the Human Alliance that maintain overt and covert trade relations with certain tribes in the Orc Empire.
Although the two sides are enemies on the surface, in the face of complex realities and interests, hatred cannot be temporarily put aside.
Of course, this kind of thing mostly happens in some principalities or kingdoms where the internal situation is relatively chaotic.
For a powerful empire like the Kaya Empire, if you want to do some smuggling business with the orcs, you can do it outside the national borders.
But if those businesses involve things within national borders...
the various professional spells of the Imperial Judgment Department will tell you what it means to be pervasive!
All in all, in peaceful times, various items from the Orc Empire were considered rare items in the Kaya Empire.
That is to say, the conflict between the border areas and the orcs has intensified recently. Otherwise, it would be impossible to see various items from the orc empire in any medium-sized fortress trading market.
For many big businessmen and nobles with keen business sense.
The significance of the Kaya Empire's Northern Expedition was not only to expand its territory, but also to be a carnival in the commercial field.
In addition to the Kaya Empire's army requiring a large amount of military supplies, a large number of "items of unknown purpose" from the Orc Empire will also rarely appear in the Kaya Empire.
And this time is the time to test your eyesight, knowledge and wisdom!
A smart big businessman can fetch a sky-high price for even a broken shoe thrown by an orc in the corner.
And the stupid adventurer, with the priceless gems, could only be carried away by the merchant as rags.
And Brand, as a master of rune formations with knowledge, wisdom and a strong artistic vision, will naturally not be deceived by the rhetoric of businessmen like those stupid adventurers!
At this time, he was conducting a silent "hunting"!
"What is this? The fur of some kind of beast?"
Looking at the dark brown "animal skin" with extremely shiny and neat hair on the stall in front of him, Brand showed a curious expression.
Hearing Brand's question, the businessman sitting behind the stall looked at Brand and Catherine's clothes for a moment. He smiled and said proudly: "Young
master, you have such good taste! No! Have you ever heard of Behemoth?
In the Orc Empire, some large tribes raise a giant monster called Behemoth.
The strength of an adult Behemoth can even rival that of a giant dragon. What is in front of you now is a Behemoth skin that is comparable to the dragon scales!"
After hearing the businessman's words, Brand couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise!
Then, he couldn't wait to take the animal skin, which the merchant called "Behemoth Skin", in his hand and look at it carefully.
After looking at it for a while, Brand said with some suspicion:
"Behemoth is a kind of Warcraft, right? Since it is a Warcraft skin, why is it just like an ordinary animal skin and has no reaction at all to the magic power I injected?" After saying
this Afterwards, Brand threw the "animal skin" in his hand on the stall, looked at the businessman with an evil look and said,
"You are using some ordinary animal skin to deceive me, right? And you are just an ordinary businessman. That's all, and you still have the ability to obtain a behemoth skin that is comparable to dragon scales?"
Suddenly hearing Brand talking about mage professional words such as "magic" and "reaction", the businessman instantly realized that the man in front of him was wearing... A descendant of a noble in luxurious clothing, he is a noble and difficult to fool mage.
So he immediately changed his words and said:
"I'm not sure whether it's a skin or not, but I'm sure it's not an ordinary animal skin. I can show you what's special about it!
" Saying this, the businessman took out a knife and stabbed the "Behemoth Skin" hard.
Although the surface of the "behemoth skin" was greatly dented with this knife, it was not actually pierced. As the businessman retracted the knife, its surface returned to its original state in an instant.
After showing such special toughness and ductility, the businessman continued:
"I purchased this animal skin from an adventurer for a high price of 3,000 magic gold coins.
According to the adventurer, this He went deep into the orc hinterland and stole it from a large orc tribe at the risk of almost death.
When he escaped, more than one large orc chased him!
The process was extremely dangerous!
However, with his strong strength and family inheritance With his concealment skills, he managed to escape in the end!
If you, young master, want to buy this animal skin, I will never sell it for less than the purchase price!"
Hearing this, Brand was a little unhappy. The ground frowned.
This animal skin was stolen by Thaksin from the orc tribe!
But how can a mere unknown adventurer escape and ascend to heaven while being chased by several large orcs?
Is this a bit too exaggerated?
In addition, the high price of 3,000 magic gold coins...
Just when Brand wanted to say something, Catherine suddenly frowned and said:
"Master, do you think this animal skin could be from an orc who was sleeping?" Is it covered with a quilt?"
Hearing Catherine's words, he carefully looked at the size and shape of the animal skin...
Brand unconsciously said:
"After hearing what you said, I also felt a bit similar, especially It's this size and shape.
Moreover, this animal skin is so malleable and not easy to be damaged. For orcs with rough hands and feet, it's perfect to use as a quilt!" After hearing the discussion between the two, the boss
said He retorted seriously:
"How can this be a quilt? This fur is obviously unprocessed native fur! Most of the quilts made by orcs have been simply tanned!" Although the boss explained this, neither
Brand nor Catherine His eyes were full of disbelief.
As the boss said, "most" quilts are treated, but some are not!
After being silent for a while, facing the ugly face of the businessman boss in front of him, Brand finally spoke out:
"This fur still has some merits. I am going to buy it back and study it.
As for the high price of 3,000 magic gold coins, boss, you It's better not to joke.
I think 10 magic gold coins..."
"Deal!"
I heard Brand offer a "high price" of 10 magic gold coins.
The business owner didn't respond to the offer at all, and couldn't wait to agree to the deal without even waiting for Brand to finish his words!
As for Brand, although he also knew that the price he shouted casually was a bit high, he was caught off guard by the boss.
It was only ten magic gold coins, and as a rich man, he didn't pay much attention to it.
Put 10 magic gold coins into the boss's hand, and put the "unknown animal skin" behind the space necklace.
Brand said goodbye to the businessman owner who was also smiling with a smile on his face, and then left the stall directly with Catherine.
——Although the process was bumpy, it was a win-win situation! !
