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 Greystone Castle has many items from the Orc Empire that Brand has never seen before.
In fact, there are some human countries in the northern part of the Human Alliance that maintain overt and covert trade relations with certain tribes of 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 Trial Department will tell you what it means to be pervasive!
In short, 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 in recent times. 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 and Development War was not just to expand its territory, but it was also 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, holding 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 boss sitting behind the stall looked at Brand and Catherine's clothes for a moment, he smiled and said proudly:
"Young master, you have such a good sense! I wonder if you have ever heard of the Behemoth?
In the Orc Empire, some large tribes raise a kind of beast we call Behemoth. Giant Warcraft.
The strength of an adult Behemoth can even rival that of a giant dragon, and what is before you now is a Behemoth Skin that can rival that of a giant dragon!"
< br>
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? Then since it is a Warcraft skin, why is it the same as an ordinary beast skin to me? The injected magic didn’t react at all?”
After saying this, Brand threw the “animal skin” in his hand on the stall, looked at the businessman with an unkind look and said:
"You are not using some ordinary beast skin to deceive me, are you? And you are just an ordinary businessman, and you still have the ability to obtain a behemoth skin that is comparable to dragon scales?"
This sudden hearing When Brand talked about mage's professional words such as "magic" and "reaction", the businessman instantly realized that the descendant of the nobles in luxurious clothes in front of him was a noble and difficult to fool mage.
So he immediately changed his words and said:
“I’m not sure whether it is a beast skin or not, but what I am sure of is that it must not be an ordinary animal skin. Let me show you what’s special about it!”
While 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, he went deep into the hinterland of the orcs and stole it from a large orc tribe at the risk of almost death.
There were more than one when he escaped. A big orc chased him!
The process is extremely dangerous!
However, with his strong strength and the concealment skills inherited from his family, he finally managed to escape!
If you, young master, want to buy this hide, I will never sell it for less than this purchase price! "
Hearing this, Brand frowned with some displeasure.
This animal skin was stolen from 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 on the side suddenly frowned and said:
"Master, do you think this animal skin is the quilt that an orc used to cover himself when sleeping?"
After hearing Catherine's words, he looked carefully at the size and shape of the animal skin...
Brand unconsciously said:
"After hearing what you said, I also It looks a bit similar, especially the size and shape.
And this animal skin is so malleable and not easy to be damaged. For orcs with rough hands and feet, it is perfect to use it as a quilt. But!”
After hearing the discussion between the two, the boss retorted seriously:
"How could 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 it this way, neither Brand nor Catherine's eyes were full of disbelief.
As the boss said, "most" quilts have been treated, but there are always some that have not!
After being silent for a while, facing the ugly face of the businessman boss in front of him, Brand finally spoke up:
"This fur has some merits, I am going to buy it back. Research.
As for the high price of 3,000 magic gold coins, boss, you better stop joking.
I think 10 magic gold coins..."
"Deal! ”
Hearing Brand’s “high price” of 10 magic gold coins.
The business owner didn’t respond to the offer at all, and couldn’t wait for Brand to finish his words before he couldn’t wait to agree.
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's just ten magic gold coins, and as a rich man, he doesn't pay much attention to it.
Put 10 magic gold coins into the boss's hand, and put the "unknown animal skin" into the space necklace.
Brand said goodbye to the businessman boss 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! !
