Lord of Arcane

Chapter 92 Mysterious Wood Carving
Aiwa's words made Xia Duo calm down. The other party was a middleman, and it was inevitable to pay the price difference. It was just a matter of how much.

And if you choose a store to sell at random, it is estimated that the price will be lower.

"Boss, we need the alchemy bottle ourselves, so we won't sell it. Do you see how much that little wood carving is worth?"

This is indeed Shado's real thought. I didn't know those bottles and jars before, but now I know that they are alchemy bottles. It is better to keep them for myself than to sell them at a discount.

This thing is more powerful than his current spell!

But now he is more concerned about the price of the small wood carving. Before, the boss turned a blind eye to other things, and he took a fancy to this at a glance, which shows that this is not an ordinary thing.

"The material of this wood carving is a bit strange, 500 gold coins, if you have more, you can take it yourself." The boss said lightly.

Xia Duo could see that the boss was insincere, the price of this thing is definitely more than 500 gold coins.I was about to refuse, but I didn't expect Aiwa to agree, "Yes!"

"Okay!" The boss immediately made the decision, the information on his face was beyond words, "Together with the previous 315 gold coins, can I give you 820 gold coins, do you want a transaction note, or an exchange certificate?"

This made Xia Duo a little dumbfounded, is this decided?He hurriedly asked Aiwa, but Aiwa just gave a reassuring look, indicating that Shado chooses the payment method.

Xia Duo temporarily pressed the doubts in his heart and prepared to complete the transaction first. The boss provided two payment methods - transaction note and exchange certificate.

The so-called trading bar is actually a fixed-weight gold bar, similar to the big yellow croaker and the small yellow croaker on the earth.

The exchange certificate is a piece of parchment endorsed by the lord or the mage guild, which is marked with the amount and the arcane seal used for verification.

Xia Duo has not seen the transaction bar with his own eyes, but he has seen people use the exchange certificate in the Mage Tower, but this kind of thing involving magic makes Xia Duo very uncertain.

So he still chose the physical transaction bar.

After receiving Xia Duo's confirmation, the boss immediately crouched down, took out sixteen gold bars two fingers wide and palm long from behind the counter one by one, and then counted 20 gold coins from the purse and placed them on the counter.

"Do you want to check it?"

Xia Duo picked up a gold bar, and it felt heavy in his hand. Although he had never seen the real thing before today, he had touched a lot of gold coins. He judged that it should not be fake.

Taking another look at Aiwa, he also nodded slightly, and Xia Duo put away all the gold bars and coins, and packed them together with those alchemy bottles that were not for sale.

After walking out of the leather shop behind Aiwa, the enthusiastic voice of the owner came out behind him, "You two, come again next time!"

……

After coming out of the leather shop and moving away a little, Chateau couldn't wait to ask: "Aiwa, that little woodcarving—"

"The material of the small wood carving is part of the trunk of the weir tree, which is a rather rare tree. Elves value this tree very much, but not necessarily human beings. The small wood carving itself is not worth 500 gold coins."

"Then why did the leather shop owner spend 500 gold coins to buy it?"

"Maybe that statue has some special meaning." At this time, Aiwa also doubted his own judgment, but the looming unique silver brilliance was indeed the material of the weir tree!
"If that's the case, then the price should have been raised just now. How could you agree so quickly?" Xia Duo complained a bit.

He was indeed going to increase the price just now, but Aiwa had already agreed at that time. Because of his trust in Aiwa, he did not continue to ask for the price. Now it depends on what Aiwa has to say.

Aiwa said, "I could see his desire for that little wooden sculpture. If the price was increased, we might not be able to come out, so we agreed immediately. In addition, he overestimated the valuation of the previous things. In other places, it can only be estimated at about 200 gold coins."

"..."

Xia Duo thought that there was an elf silk scarf in those things. He had seen the selling price during Midsummer Festival - 200 gold coins. Now all the things add up to only 200. This gray middleman is too good at making money!

When I think about the price increase that Aiwa said, I can't walk out of the store. It can't be called gray anymore, it should be called black.

"Aiwa, thank you this time."

Aiwa did not answer, his figure was hidden in the darkness, and Xia Duo said no more, ready to deal with the dozen or so pounds of trading bars. Compared with those loot that needed to be appraised, the trading bars were much easier to deal with.

In essence, it is a kind of currency, just buy and buy directly.

……

Southern District, Eagle Mystery Shop.

The last time Xia Duo came here, he still had a tight hand in his hand. He only bought a 1-ring [Summoning Mount] scroll and left. This time, he brought more than 800 gold coins, and his hand was much more abundant.

"What do you want? Hurry up, we're closing!"

A middle-aged man who looked like a manager was making two servants to count the goods. Seeing Xia Duo's dressing attitude was rather perfunctory.

"Bang" sound.

Xia Duo put the transaction slip on the counter. At this time, the steward became a little more serious, and told the servant to continue to count, and asked Xia Duo, "Guest, what do you need?"

"Magic scroll."

"Then you are the right guest. If you want to talk about which chamber of commerce Saville has the most and most complete magic scrolls, we have to count the Eagle Chamber of Commerce. I don't know what kind of scrolls the guests want."

Before he came, Xia Duo had already thought about it. The first choice was life saving, the second choice was running, and the last one was aggressive. "I need 5 copies of [Mage Armor], 5 copies of [Summon Mount], and 1 [Protection Arrow]. copies, [Resist energy damage] 1 copy."

The steward's eyes lit up, and after a while, he said, "700 gold coins."

This price is obviously higher than the usual price, but in the seller's market, Xia Duo is also very helpless. It would be nice if he was an official mage.

"Yes. But take a mithril pen."

"This—" the steward dragged his tone, "A mithril pen costs at least 50 gold coins, you are too greedy for the guest!"

"Ha ha."

Xia Duo looked for the mithril pen. Although it didn't improve him for the time being, when he became a full-fledged mage, the mithril pen must be used to make magic scrolls.

Furthermore, he is still using an ordinary quill pen, which feels very uncomfortable. Of course, if he has money, he will need to change his equipment.

"Boss, the orc tide is over. You still charge 700 gold coins for these scrolls. This is just greed!"

"Guest, you can't say that. The most recent group of caravans that came to Savile will not come until next spring. Our store's stock is running out. The price is not high, not high at all."

"The caravan will not leave next year, but not many people will leave the town in winter. The boss should know how many sales there are in winter in previous years!"

The steward looked at Xia Duo again, and said seriously, "Does this guest want to join our Eagle Chamber of Commerce? The apprentice's salary is doubled, and the official wizard's salary is doubled again."

Of course, Xia Duo refused righteously, and after that, the two went back and forth several times like a saw, and then the price was finalized.
