"I want to exchange some Byron coins."
Chen Lun spoke softly.
"Okay, guest, please follow me."
The young blonde girl blinked her eyes, then twisted her proud hips and led Chen Lun and the other two to a sofa to sit down.
In the magnificent hall, customers came and went to handle business. Judging from their attire, they were either wealthy or noble. Many young and beautiful waitresses followed them closely with ingratiating smiles.
"Here is the exchange manual. You can check out this week's exchange rate."
The blonde girl professionally handed over two booklets and poured hot cocoa for the three of them. She then stood quietly by and waited, with a sweet smile on her face the whole time.
"Thanks."
Chen Lun thanked him and immediately opened the manual.
The first line of exchange rates shows the exchange rate between Trisul and Byron coins, which is about 1:2. There is also the exchange rate between Beelzebub and Shuoli coins, but the ratios of these two to Byron coins fluctuate around 1:1, with a difference of a few tenths.
There are even some exchange rates in some small countries, but the ratio of Byron currency is often one to ten or even hundreds or thousands, which is quite exaggerated.
Chen Lun was just about to take out tens of thousands of gold pounds from his body and exchange them for Lan Jiabo, but after he turned a page with his fingers, his gaze suddenly froze.
He noticed that in the special pawn service at the end, there were clear purchase items, which mentioned the words "energy crystal".
Chen Lun's heart moved, and he spoke to the blonde girl with a normal expression:
"Excuse me, is there a detailed list of the energy crystals purchased by Byron Golden Pavilion?"
"ah?"
The blonde was stunned at first, then looked surprised.
"Yes, yes. I'll get you the manual right away."
Having said that, she turned around and left excitedly, going up to the second floor along the escalator.
Chen Lun moved his eyes away from her back.
'It seems that energy crystals are a kind of currency in the Kingdom of Byron, but only in the upper class or in the mysterious field... The acquisition by a top bank like Byron Golden Pavilion is probably the intention of the Alexei royal family and the Madman School.'
He soon figured this out.
After all, this is a country where magical beings are rampant, so it is reasonable that there is a demand for energy crystals.
'I just don't know if they will accept the two energy crystals, "Dragon Li Stone" and "Zhanhui Stone"...'
Chen Lun stroked his chin and thought.
Qingtian Xiaoyu on the side poked Polaris beside him with his elbow and whispered:
"Isn't this very manly, teacher?"
Polaris glanced at Teacher Jack's thoughtful look, and always felt as if Su Keying was whispering to him beside him. He opened his mouth, seemed to be about to say something, but stopped himself, and finally just said "hmm".
The blonde quickly came downstairs holding a hardcover book. Next to her was a short-haired lady wearing a white suit and a cloak.
"Hello, this is the acquisition manual."
The blonde girl respectfully placed the hardcover on the table in front of Chen Lun, then gestured to the lady next to her and introduced:
"This is the person in charge of our Byron Golden Pavilion. She will personally answer some of your related questions."
The short-haired lady smiled and held out her hand.
"Melanie, hello sir."
"Hello, ma'am."
Chen Lun shook hands gently and then asked:
"May I ask what types of energy crystals you purchase?"
"Generally, they are cat sound stone, incognito stone and secret stone. The former is relatively rare, contains more energy and is pure, so the purchase price is the highest. The latter two are slightly inferior, but more common... Here are pictures, you can take a look."
Melanie opened the booklet for him and found the details page of the three energy crystals. Chen Lun took a quick look and found that their appearance was completely different from that of dragonite and azurite.
Chen Lun was thinking in his mind.
Melanie spoke again:
"The standard specification of energy crystal is 50 grams. According to this specification, the purchase price of secret steel is about 30 blue gabos, the purchase price of incognito is 45 blue gabos, and the purchase price of cat sound stone is between 75 and 80 blue gabos..."
She raised her eyes, smiled and asked:
"Of course, there are some other types of crystals, about a dozen in total, with different prices... I wonder what kind of energy crystal you want to sell?"
“It’s not recorded in the manual.”
Chen Lun chuckled and then raised his hand to signal.
There were two crystals, one black and one blue, placed in the palm of his hand.
"A completely new type of energy crystal?"
The person in charge, Melanie, raised her eyebrows, with a look of surprise in her eyes. She looked at the stone in the guest's hand and did not touch it rashly, but she was sure that it was indeed an energy crystal.
As a Sequence Nine scholar, Melanie could feel the energy emanating from it. The former was highly destructive, while the latter was restrained but extremely unstable.
"Please go to the secret room on the second floor and wait for a while. I will ask the Golden Pavilion appraiser to come with me. After measuring the energy content of these two crystals, we can make an estimate."
Melanie took a deep breath and said solemnly.
The look in her eyes as she looked at the black-hatted guest changed, from politeness to respect.
The person who can take out these two kinds of energy crystals cannot be a simple person. Most likely, he is also a transcendent in the mysterious field, and his sequence must be higher, otherwise he would not be able to see any clues.
Chen Lun nodded, stood up and went upstairs with the blonde girl, while Polaris and Sunny Rain followed behind very obediently.
It wasn't long after entering the secret room.
Melanie walked in with two men, a thin middle-aged man and a tall young man. The former should be an appraiser and the latter a bodyguard.
As soon as he entered the door, the young man's expression changed drastically, and he whispered a few words in the ears of Melanie and the thin middle-aged man.
Both of them were stunned, and then their eyes became extremely shocked.
"Your Majesty, on behalf of Byron Golden Pavilion, I welcome you."
Melanie hurried forward and bowed.
The same was true for the people behind him.
Chen Lun glanced at the young man. This guy was actually a Sequence 6 mystic. He was able to see through his high-ranking identity, which showed that he had some skills.
"No need to be polite, let's get started."
Chen Lundan smiled and waved his hand, pointing at the two crystal stones on the table.
Melanie glanced at him with a little trepidation, thinking that it was a good thing that she hadn't said or done anything rude just now, otherwise she would be in big trouble.
Although she was the person in charge of Byron Golden Pavilion and had seen many extraordinary people, this was the first time she had encountered a saint in person, which made her heart beat fast.
"This is our chief appraiser, Mr. Kayo. He graduated from the Miracle Academy in the royal city of Kain. He has a deep understanding and experience in appraising energy crystals and magical creations."
Melanie introduced the thin middle-aged man next to her.
The latter smiled nervously and said a few humble words. Then, Kayo put a small instrument on the table.
He first put on white gloves, carefully picked up the black dragon stone, measured it with a magnifying glass, tweezers and some special calipers, and recorded the data in a notebook with a pen. Then he placed the pebble-sized dragon stone on the instrument tray.
After pressing a few buttons, the instrument made a buzzing sound, and then as if guiding out the energy inside the dragon stone, red arcs spread in the mesh cover of the instrument, and four green lights lit up on the scale next to it.
"The energy storage rate is 39.7 clarensos."
Kayo muttered seriously.
Then he raised his head and respectfully asked the gentleman in the black hat:
"Your Majesty, you named this crystal 'Dragon Li Stone', right?"
"Um."
Chen Lun took a sip of hot cocoa and nodded.
Kayo then wrote down the words "Longli Stone" in the notebook. He then picked up the azurite and repeated the same process, but this time, the reaction in the instrument was obviously more intense, with blue-green energy arcs flashing and shaking the cover.
The scale bar on one side lit up with six green lights.
"It's a rare energy crystal. The reserve rate has reached an astonishing 68.6 carats. It's only slightly lower than the cat sound stone, but this energy is purer."
Kayo was amazed.
After leaving the words "Zhanhui Stone" on the notebook, he handed it to the person in charge, Melanie, and said bluntly:
"The value of dragonite is about 40 blue gabos, and the value of azurite is 70 blue gabos..."
Melanie nodded, then calmly observed the black-hatted gentleman's expression. Seeing that she did not show any dissatisfaction, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked:
"Your Majesty, how many of these two types of crystals do you have on hand, and how many are you willing to sell? Our Byron Golden Pavilion is the best in the entire kingdom, and we can even say that we have the largest amount of financial reserves. You can fully trust our strength."
Chen Lun remained calm on the surface.
But I was thinking, if I take out all the crystals, I'm really worried that you won't be able to eat them...
"Not a lot, these are just my unexpected gains."
Chen Lun raised his eyes and said calmly.
Melanie was stunned at first, but then she understood. After all, energy crystals are hard to come by, but she still felt a little regretful... The acquisition of energy crystals was an important instruction from the higher-ups. If she could exceed the task, she could even receive rewards and commendations from the Alexei royal family.
"In that case, Your Majesty can sell all the crystals to us, and Byron Golden Pavilion will also give you the greatest sincerity."
Melanie said sincerely.
"Well, that's good. It saves me from having to go somewhere else."
Chen Lun nodded and waved his hand.
Black and blue crystals the size of pebbles appeared out of nowhere and piled up on the table like hail, making tinkling sounds.
The expressions of Melanie, Kayo and the others changed from surprise to shock, and finally they stared numbly at the two piles of "little hills" on the table, their mouths remaining open, unable to close for a long time.
This is not much?!
Melanie nearly fainted.
Of course it's not a shock, but a surprise...
"Don't worry! We will count these crystals as quickly as possible and try to give you the corresponding blue jewels within an hour, no, within half an hour!"
Melanie blushed and said, trying to suppress her excitement.
