In the free city, in the huge training ground in the basement of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, the vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce, Croseid, was sitting on a sofa covered with rare animal skins in deep thought, while a figure in the center of the training ground was waving his hand. training with the tomahawk in the.
From time to time, a hint of silver light appeared in the black ax blade. Judging from its size, the huge battle ax was more like something that would be used by a race with infinite strength like orcs. However, the man holding the battle ax at this moment could easily It was like playing a one-handed axe, and every time it was swung, it seemed as if it cut through the air, emitting bursts of sound. And this man who seems to have divine power is the most famous mercenary king in the free city, Gelkate Kasa!
The ground of the practice ground is paved with fine fir wood, but the originally neat and smooth ground has become scarred under the blade of the battle ax in Gerkat's hand. As the owner of the practice ground, Croside He didn't care at all, because there was a more troublesome thing that forced Closide to carefully consider the last implementation method and weigh whether the gains and losses after implementing this method were worth it.
"Hey~ What are you thinking about sitting here silently?"
When the sound came, Croside realized that his old friend seemed to have finished testing the weapon.
"nothing."
Closide changed the subject and asked: "How is it? Does the repaired battle ax still work well?"
"How should I put it?" Gelkate weighed the battle ax and said with some uncertainty: "The weight seems to be much lighter than before, but the sharpness is far better than before. I said Cloro Brother Seid, could it be that you gave up the durability in order to increase the sharpness of the battle ax?”
"Do not be silly!"
Closide shook his head: "I just added some new materials during the repair process. I can guarantee that you can use this ax to slay dragons without any problem."
As a member of the dragon clan, but he made a promise to slay the dragon, Croside felt a little strange. However, this guarantee is genuine. In the process of repairing the battle ax, I even used a little bit of the extremely precious Orihakon magic metal to blend it into it. Orihakon itself has the property of 'sturdiness', and obsidian itself is also a rare material. Theoretically speaking, it can never be lost in a regular battle with secular forces, except of course the orc who fought against Gerkate. According to Closide judged that the orc's ability to break the battle ax was definitely not possible with his own strength, but must be the function of the strange gem.
Now that Orihakon has been integrated into obsidian, the overall sturdiness of the battle ax has been greatly improved, even against the Black Dragon Scales, which has the best physical defense. At the same time, because of Orihakon's magical adaptability, Closed also specially carried out a micro-carving pattern, and the power of magic reduced the weight of the battle ax. Now this battle ax has jumped beyond the legendary level as equipment. Although it has not yet reached the legendary level, it should already be regarded as a powerful weapon at the quasi-epic level.
Gerkat was also very satisfied with the repaired battle ax. During the period when he lost his handy weapon, Gerkat also found many stores and tried many high-end weapons, but none of them were as good as his 'old partner' Just let yourself get what you want.
"Then Brother Closide, you don't have to pay back the magic core as a reward for repairing the battle axe."
"you sure?"
"Sure!"
"Thank you very much┉┉"
Closide smiled heartily, and the heartache he originally felt because of using some Orihacon was wiped away by Gerkat's words. The magic core sold for 1.3 billion lien. The price is astronomical. If he pays back double to Gelkate according to his promise, it will be 2.6 billion Lien! Even if Lawrence, the current president of the Chamber of Commerce, were to spend such a large amount of money, he would probably tremble. The next batch of trade goods will be sold out for only more than 6 billion lien, and the profit from the cost chamber will only be about 3 billion. Giving 80% of the profits to Gerkat at one time is equivalent to this large-scale trade being done in vain. Now that Gerkat generously gave up the magic core, he owed him a favor.
But having said that, the Orihakon I used on my battle ax is worth a lot. Although it is only a hundred grams, if it is put up for auction and publicity is done in the early stage, it is estimated that it can be sold for about 400 to 500 million.
After wrapping the tomahawk back up with black canvas, Gerkat found that Closed still seemed to be worried, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "I said, brother Closed, have you lost money in your business recently? Why are you today?" I have a bitter look on my face all day long.”
"It's not you who caused it!!"
"What~me?"
Croside's answer stunned Gerkat. No matter how much he thought about it, Gerkat couldn't think of anything he had done that would give Crossed a headache. It's not like he is a businessman and it's impossible for him to compete with Closide for business. Even if he personally carries an ax and leads his troops to rob the Black Stone Ring Chamber of Commerce, Closide probably won't be afraid of him.
"Do you still remember the little elf girl you sold to the prince of the Kalsemmen Empire?" Crossed looked at Gelkate in confusion and said.
"Of course~ Why doesn't Augusta National want to sell it to you?" Gelkate certainly remembered this. Croside said when he asked about it that he planned to use this child to please the Holy City. But now it seems that even if you want to please the Holy City, you have to use this child, right? There are more elf slaves in the free city.
Closide clicked his tongue in a troubled manner: "Twenty million lien┉┉double the price you paid for selling it to Augusta, but that prince rejected my offer."
"What!?"
Gelkate was shocked: "You offered 20 million lien and he didn't want to sell it? Damn it~ If I had known better, I should have kept that child and waited for you to buy it."
But you didn't stay!
Croseid was a little upset when he thought about Elsa. After learning that Gelkate had sold the elf girl to Augusta, the prince of the Kalsemmen Empire, for 10 million lien, Croseid De first briefly analyzed the reason why Augusta bought Elsa. Augusta was not a lustful idiot prince like Silvado who would spend a lot of money to buy a beautiful slave girl. He must have had a plan when he was willing to pay such a high price to buy Aisha. Elsa's sister is the leader of a team of elves who escaped from the Kingdom of Kalut. This team has thousands of people. Compared with the small-scale escapes of a few people and dozens of people over the years, this time The number of fleeing elves can be considered a large team. During the escape process, these elves have been assisted by the Holy City. Obviously, if this team can successfully escape to the west, it will naturally become an example of action, allowing the Holy City to better publicize and encourage more escapes in the east. As a leader, Elsa's sister will naturally be rewarded by the Holy City.
Now that I can take Elsa into my own hands, I can use Elsa as a bargaining chip to exchange with the Holy City. Of course, it may not be enough to use Elsa as a bargaining chip, but if you can quietly control Elsa's sister, it will be enough. If used properly, you can at least covertly bury a chess piece in the Holy Capital, whether it is intelligence collection or major events. In exchange of interests, the purchase price of 10 million Lien is definitely a sure profit.
But all the arrangements were in vain because Elsa's sister failed to reach the Holy Capital.
Croseid has already considered the reason why the White Dragon King Yalin asked for Elsa. Most likely, Elsa's tribe and her sister were forced by the dragon king to stay in the Yanold Mountains or the Misty Forest. After all, the White Dragon King had just awakened. The entire abandoned dragon city needed a lot of manpower to repair it. Considering that the White Dragon King had been extremely disgusted with humans, it was not surprising that these fugitive elves were left behind. As for why Elsa is wanted, it's probably because Elsa's sister made an agreement with the Dragon King. Of course, as for what the agreement was, Closide couldn't control it. What was important was that Aisha could quickly get some bibimbap and hand it over to Yalin.
After analyzing the reasons, Closide made a confident judgment. He believed that for Augusta, Elsa must have lost its original value because the elf girl's sister did not arrive in the Holy City. For Augusta, the elf girl has become an ordinary elf slave girl, and has no use except to keep her as a pet or throw her on the bed in the harem. All he needs to do now is reveal his intentions a little bit and give Augusta a little more profit in the big transaction, believing that the other party will send the girl who has lost value as a gift.
Because of this hasty judgment, Croside himself boasted in front of Yalin and promised to send Elsa to the Yanold Mountains immediately.
But after the first meeting and negotiation with Augusta, Augusta did as Croside expected. After making a partial concession, Augusta generously expressed his will to choose several members of the harem. He took away the elf slave girl (his father's), but when Croside expressed his interest in the little elf girl that Augusta had just bought, Augusta's eyes changed. First there were some doubts and then It became helpless.
"Mr. Closide, if you could have come a week earlier I would have been happy to give you that girl as a gift to cement our friendship, but now I can only say I'm sorry."
Augusta declined tactfully, and Croside found that the prince was quite embarrassed when talking about Elsa. It seemed that whether or not to send this girl away was not his own decision. This actually aroused some curiosity from Closide. Augusta is a prince of the Carlseman Empire. Although he is a prince, he is now completely independent of the king. As long as Augusta is willing, he can wear the crown at any time. As a continent The prince of the most powerful empire in the east, is there something else that is holding him back from making an answer? (To be continued...)
