Chapter 47 The purpose of the elves
Slaves are not uncommon on the Talenmiya continent, and they can even be said to be very common. Talenmiya's area is dozens of times the total area of the earth and hundreds of times the land area. On such a vast land, there are many races, countries and forces.
Most countries on the Tarenmiya continent do not prohibit the slave trade. Whenever war occurs between races, countries, and even forces, prisoners will always arise, which provides the best breeding ground for the slave trade.
In the plan set by Aiwo and Xu Yue, hiring a mercenary group to protect themselves through the initial period of weakness was the first step, and then accumulating enough funds to buy a large amount of slaves was the second step. A slave who was added with a magical ban and was controlled by his master was the best choice for Xu Yue and Aiwo, who wanted to quickly develop their own power.
Of course, this is the premise that their subsequent transactions with the elves can proceed smoothly. Half of the 300,000 gold coins obtained in the first transaction were divided by Ivo and stored on a gold coin memory card and handed over to Xu Yue. However, this amount of money is not enough for him to pay back the debt to the Magic Guild. Whether the purchase of slaves and the remaining debts can be paid depends on whether the transaction with the elves can proceed smoothly.
Because the orcs used robbers and drove away monsters to almost cut off the trade route between the Tarila Forest and the outside world, except for a few lucky merchants like Aivo, almost no caravan could send goods into the Tarila Forest. Therefore, the elves attached great importance to Aivo, a merchant who could provide a large number of pure containers, such as wartime resources. Just looking at the two elves with high profession levels that followed this time, it can be seen.
The amount of pure containers that the elves demanded was very large this time, and they were ordered almost as much as the demand of a national-level force. This also shows that the scale of the war this time may not be small. More than 800,000 gold coins, and about half of them were pure containers with low scales. So many goods were obviously not the storage ring that Xu Yue lent to Aiwo.
Xu Yue discussed with Aivo afterwards and decided to rent a large warehouse after Aivo arrived in Black Rock City, and then Xu Yue secretly put all the storage in. If there were trading in Komodo Town again, there would be so many caravans coming to Komodo Town every day, and it would be almost clear what products came. It would be difficult to explain how this batch of pure containers suddenly appeared. As for how Xu Yue delivered such a large batch of goods to Black Rock City and transported them to the warehouse, Aivo was very clever and did not ask any questions.
After discussing the matter with Aiwo, Xu Yue covered his whole body with his cloak again, and then carefully opened the door and left. However, when he wanted to leave Yege Tavern and return to his residence, a noise came from the room where the two elves lived in the distance, which surprised Xu Yue suddenly, quickly opened the door of his previous room and walked in.
After locking the door from inside, he quietly listened to the movements in the corridor behind the door. The footsteps of the two people came up, but the sound was very light and I couldn't hear them clearly without listening carefully. What made Xu Yue frown was that the footsteps stopped after coming to the entrance of the room where he was.
The next moment, two knocks sounded softly from the door, which made Xu Yue's brows frown even tighter. It was obvious that these elves came for him. Judging from the situation, it was probably that his actions of entering Aivo's room had been discovered by these two elves. However, the two elves did not come to the door directly, but found his room alone and knocked on the door after they finished talking.
After thinking about it, Xu Yue cast a level zero magic "voice change technique" on himself. This little magic can change his voice.
"Who?" A hoarse voice came out of his mouth.
"May the light of nature shine on you. Hello sir, we are from Tarila Forest. We want to talk to you about some things. Can you let us in?" A sound that sounded crisp outside the door rang out.
"I'm sorry! I don't know you! And it's too late, please come back for you guys." Xu Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and said decisively.
"Sorry, sir! I'm still prone to disturb you so late, but we have no malice. In fact, we know that you are the one who provides the pure container behind Mr. Avo. And we came this time and wanted to discuss with you a business." One of the two outside the door whispered.
After hearing this, a glimmer flashed in Xu Yue's eyes. In just a few seconds, he guessed the causes and consequences. The elves do attach more importance to Aivo and the goods he brought, but it is obvious that they are not ignorant of this goblin who often appears in the Tarila Forest.
A goblin who could only set up some street stall goods suddenly took out a goods worth 300,000 gold coins. Even idiots would suspect that there were other people behind the goblin. Although the elves did not intend to pay the bill, they were unwilling to trade with only one agent. So they not only sent people to come back with Aiwo, but also wanted to directly find the people behind Aiwo to trade, so that they could better grasp the initiative.
Xu Yue, who guessed the cause and effect, was silent for a while, and weighed the pros and cons in his heart until the two elves outside the door were a little impatient and said, "If you want to talk to Aiwo for business, you can fully represent what I mean."
Xu Yue's words obviously surprised the two elves at the door. In their hearts, the positioning of Avo is only an agent. After encountering a big incident, it must be the person behind Avo to make the decision. However, looking at the other party's attitude now, it is obvious that Avo is not just an agent.
However, the elf at the door did not give up on the intention of contacting Xu Yue. An obscure fluctuation suddenly flashed on one of the elfs. After feeling the fluctuation, Xu Yue immediately found that the fluctuation was exactly the same as the spell fluctuation on the "sound-blocking disc" brought by Aiwo.
After the elf cast his spell, he stopped lowering his voice. He straightened his body and said, "I think you don't understand the importance of this transaction we are talking about. Your Excellency Avo should have told you that we will order 800,000 gold coins this time. But in fact, that's just a small part of this order."
After hearing the elf's words, Xu Yue's heart trembled. To be honest, when he heard the other party ordering goods worth nearly 800,000 gold coins at one time, he felt that the other party had made a lot of money. Unexpectedly, this was just a part of it. So how many gold coins are needed for all the goods? One million or two million?
"It's still a pure container?" Xu Yue raised his eyebrows and asked through the door.
"It is indeed pure containers. But it is not those with five to seven scales. In fact, the one who purchases pure containers this time is our temple, and the pure containers purchased need to reach the level of eight scale containers in the upper batch of goods at least. If you can provide pure containers with nine scales, we will need as much as there are!" the elf at the door said with a smile.
When Xu Yue heard the other party talk about the pure container with eight-scale and nine-scale, he suddenly became silent. Although the pure container only exists as a container, it is much cheaper than the magical materials contained in the container. However, once the scale of the pure container rises above the eight-scale, the container itself can definitely be regarded as a valuable item.
The materials that require eight-scale containers to carry are generally only available to some advanced professionals or large forces, so those who require eight-scale pure containers are basically large forces. There is nothing to believe that at their profit-making speed, they can quickly expand their power to the level of self-protection in front of these large forces. However, pure containers of nine-scale, basically only top and national forces will buy them.
It is difficult to buy a level nine pure container on the market, because the high-quality magic stone is lacking, the price of a pure container with a nine-scale scale is more than several times that of an eight-scale scale. In fact, starting from the seven-scale scale up, almost every difference of a scale, the price of a pure container will increase by several times or even dozens of times.
Xu Yue began to quickly weigh the pros and cons of this transaction. Not to mention the pure containers of eight-scale and nine-scale, he had many pure containers of ten-scale. But with his current strength and power, once he exposed his own pure containers of nine-scale, it would be easy for him to be targeted by some national forces. If his strength or power is not enough to cope with these situations, he might have to open the space gate and escape back to the earth.
The silence in the room not only did not make the two elves look impatient, but also showed surprise on both of them. What they feared the most was the other party's refusal without thinking. Now the other party's silence shows that there is room for negotiation. Pure containers above eight scales are not impossible to buy on the market, but it is very difficult to buy a large number of pure containers of this level at one time.
"Please consider our proposal carefully! If you can provide enough high-scale pure containers this time, you will gain the friendship of the Tarira elves." The elves outside the door added.
After struggling for a while, Xu Yue gave up the idea of selling the nine-scale pure container. With his current development speed, he and Ivo really cannot cope with national forces in the short term. If it is just an eight-scale pure container, it will attract the attention of some large forces at most. If their plan is successful, then this is still within the range they can cope with.
"If it is an eight-scale pure container, I can indeed provide some, but I can only say sorry for the nine-scale pure container. With my own way, I can't get such national-level strategic resources." Xu Yue's hoarse voice came from behind the door.
"Your Excellency, please consider it again..." It was obvious that the elf outside the door did not completely believe his words and said anxiously.
"No need to think about it anymore. I think you also know that the nine-scale pure containers are almost strictly controlled by various countries. If you want to get them, it is too expensive. I don't have this ability." Xu Yue interrupted him.
The two elves looked at each other and nodded helplessly. They knew that what the person in the door said was not exaggerated. The pure container of Jiuqian has always been regarded as an important resource by national forces because of its rare output. The price it costs to get from these forces is even above the value of Jiuqian container itself.
"So how many eight-scale pure containers can you provide? We need a lot this time!" An elf asked helplessly.
"Don't worry about how much I can provide. Let's talk about how much you need at most!" Xu Yue said after thinking in the door. Since the nine-scale ones cannot be sold, try to sell more eight-scale containers to make up for the losses.
Xu Yue's words made the two elves look much better when they were hidden under the hood. Although they couldn't get a pure container of nine scales, it would be very helpful to the clan if there were enough eight scale containers.
"If you have enough quantities, we want to buy about five hundred eight-scale pure containers!" An elf thought and reported a considerable quantity backwards.
To be honest, hearing the number of elves said shocked Xu Yue very much. He originally estimated that the other party would have to be one or two hundred at most. Unexpectedly, the other party directly reported a number that was more than twice his estimated value.
"Five hundred? No problem! You can just talk to Aiwo directly. He will take you to collect the goods at that time, but we are not responsible for the transportation of the goods this time. Since you can send someone, you want to have your own transportation method. Okay, let's talk to Aiwo directly. If you have anything in the future, you can talk to Aiwo directly." After Xu Yue's voice came out of the door, there was no movement.
"Wait! Your Excellency! I think such a big business still needs to be discussed with you in person." An elf outside the door said hurriedly. However, the two elves waited for a long time, and no more noise came from the door.
After the two elves looked at each other, one of them knocked on the door again and shouted: "Your Excellency? You, please open the door?"
After not hearing a reply, one of the elves thought for a while, pressed the door of the room and sent a magic wave from his hand to scan the room through the door. Then he raised his head and shook his head at his companion beside him.
The companion beside him was obviously a little anxious, and he raised his legs and wanted to kick the door open. However, his companion who used magic stopped him, and then he saw the companion who used magic press his hand on the door lock in the room and used a first-level spell "lock unlocking technique". The next moment, the door lock in the room was automatically opened. The two looked at each other and carefully pushed open the door and walked in.
