Otherworldly Gem Merchant

Fangsi continent, October 1510, 10 in the general calendar.

This day is particularly lively for Aiyo Village, which has been quiet for a long time.It seems that the atmosphere of joy has been permeating the village since the beginning of the morning.

Well-dressed guards stood outside the newly opened gem shop Rand, and a thick red carpet was laid at the entrance of the gem shop.

Many spectators from the village gathered around the shop, and some even curiously asked the guards standing at the door for something.

The sound of "Bang!" startled the villagers standing outside the shop. When they looked up, they saw dots of colorful stars falling in the sky above the shop, flashing different twilight lights, although it was not obvious because it was not night. But still very special.

Some curious villagers who were watching by the side even reached out to pick up these falling star-like things.The dots of stars fell into their hands and quickly melted into their hands like snow, disappearing very quickly.But the sky is still falling stars one after another, which makes the surrounding onlookers very curious.

"Hey, the store looks really different." A bystander touched his chin at this novel scene, and felt even more novel when he saw the appearance of the Rand Gem Store. "If you ask me, this is not like a building that can be found on the continent of Aifen."

As he said, most of the buildings on the continent of Aifen are domes, and the lines of the buildings are particularly soft, making them look very warm.The Rand Gem Store doesn't give people such a gentle feeling. Instead, the steeple is erected high, and the gray and white color is a bit solemn. It is different from other surrounding buildings at first glance, and it is very prominent.

"Hey, there are so many precious stones here, who can invite them?" Another person next to him sneered when he heard this.

"Haha, that's exactly what I said. If I have the ability to open a gem shop, can't I invite someone to build the house?" The person who spoke originally laughed, and the people next to him also laughed.

In the eyes of ordinary people, people with money and precious stones can certainly do whatever they want, at least they are much better than them.

The stars in the sky fell for a long time, and finally a person came out from the open door of the shop, this person was indeed a stranger to Aiyo Village.

"Hi everyone, I'm Edson, the manager of Rand Gem Shop." Edson who spoke was a middle-aged man in his forties, at least on the surface he seemed to be a human being.

Looking at the crowd around the shop, Adelson did not show any impatience, he looked at everyone with a kind smile, "This is the first time our gem shop has opened here, to celebrate, We decided to sell the gems in the store at half price. Hey, don't show such disdain, our gems are not as expensive as you think."

"Gems are so tight now, where can they be so cheap?"

The one who choked with Edson was a young man dressed in white clothes, Edson was not angry, he just smiled mysteriously, "You haven't even seen it, how do you know that our gems are not cheap enough? Young man , don’t be so excited, you can take a look first, can’t you?”

Although Adelson was not angry, he did not give the young man a chance to speak again, "Whether the gemstones in Rand Gem Store are cheap enough or good enough, it would be too boring for me to judge these. Whether it is You don’t come to Rand to buy gems, as long as you enter the store, you are our customers, I hope you can have a good time here.”

Adelson spoke very politely, but none of the onlookers walked in.

For the people of Ayo Village, the price of gems is too expensive.What's more, the price of gemstones has been increasing recently, how cheap can Rand's gemstones be?It's like selling 100 soft sister coins and raising the price to 300 and then selling them at a discount of 250.

Facing such a cold scene, Adelson did not change his expression. He had made preparations for this as early as when Rand opened in Aiyo Village. After all, Aiyo Village is just a village. How many rich people will there be? ?

"... How much do you sell your Hierro gems for?" A hesitant voice caught Edson's attention.

Edson's eyes fell on the young man with brown hair, "Do you want to buy Hierro gems?"

"Hey, Ruby, are you crazy? Your mother will break your legs if you buy gems!" Another small boy with freckles tugged at Ruby, nervously.

"Hello, Mr. Ruby." Adelson didn't listen to the little boy's words at all, and even smiled at the little boy who was looking at him vigilantly, "The Hierro gem is only a first-class gem. The store only sells it for 15 gold coins, so I guess it’s not that expensive, is it?”

Ruby was stunned when he heard that it was only 15 gold coins. In fact, not only Ruby, but also the surrounding people were also stunned.Looking at Adelson suspiciously, it seemed that he couldn't believe the price at all.

They really couldn't believe it. Even before the price of gems didn't increase, Hierro gems would cost 20 gold coins.It's actually cheaper now than before the price increase, which is a bit unbelievable.

"Why do you only need 15 gold coins? Your gems are not junk, right?" The little freckled boy couldn't help but doubt the quality of the gems in this gem shop after hearing Adelson's words. 15 gold coins?Shouldn't you buy it back and just make decorations?

Of course, not only him, but others also couldn't believe this price.

"How come it only costs 15 gold coins...?"

"Is this impossible? Can they get back the cost of 15 gold coins? Could it be a lie to us?"

"I think it must be fake. It's so cheap, how can they make money?"

"..."

Facing the crowd who were arguing, Adelson was not nervous at all. At his age, he was already nervous. Now he only had that calmness, "The gemstones in Rand Gem Shop are definitely high-quality gemstones. , if you don’t believe me, you can go in and have a look. Our gemstones are placed inside, believe your eyes.”

When I heard Adelson say this again this time, although other people still hesitated, people walked into the gem shop one after another.For Ederson, as long as someone walks through the door, it's easy to handle.He personally confirmed the quality of Rand's gems. As for the price, the boss said it was fine. Is it his turn to question it?

One after another, people walked into the Rand gem shop one after another, and the empty shop began to gain popularity.

Rand's store looks the same as the one in Brandt, and even the purchase system inside is exactly the same.It is worth mentioning that the goblin ancestral farmer also secretly followed Yan Xiu to Ai Fuen, and now he does not know where to dig a hole underground in Ai Yue Village.

For those who see black goblin technology for the first time, they are not usually stimulated.The purchase method is completely different from that of Ai Fuen. It is so novel that people can't help but want to buy a cheap gem to have a try.

Yes, as long as 15 gold coins, the Hierro gems are not very expensive for commoners, and even if they are commoners, they also have a general understanding of how to distinguish good gems from bad ones.Again, even if they bought unqualified gems, wouldn't they come to Rand?To open the store here so grandly, you don't just want to make a one-shot deal to cheat them, do you?

In this state of mind, among the people who wandered around the Rand gem shop, there would always be a few who would buy a few gems.

The little boy followed Ruby up and down Landry, and when they came to a corner and looked at the price marked on it, he couldn't help exclaiming, "Oh my God! It's actually [-] gold coins each! Didn't you say that your gems are not expensive!"

"What? Fifty thousand?"

"The asking price is [-]! My God, I knew that the gems here are not cheap..."

"What kind of gemstone actually costs [-]?!"

"Yeah, what kind of gem?!"

A jewel of [-] gold coins!How could they not be curious!

When the exclaimed little man saw the gem on the sign, he was completely dumbfounded, "Eight...eight..."

"What the hell!" A middle-aged man waiting next to the little boy couldn't help but push the little boy away, to see for himself what kind of gemstone it is, and it actually costs [-] yuan!Is this a robbery?

But when he saw the gem, the middle-aged man was also dumbfounded.

"Hey, what kind of gem are you talking about?" There were quite a few people beside the small man and the middle-aged man, and he was dumbfounded when he saw the middle-aged man take a look, so he couldn't help but jump in his heart.

They can sell gemstones with a price of [-]. Seeing their reaction... The rest of the people also began to speculate, but they all breathed heavily.

"Eight...eight level... Burke gem..." The little boy couldn't believe that the gem he saw was actually an eighth level Burke!How long has it been since gems above level seven appeared? !Now it's on sale in the store!

"what?!"

"is that a lie!?"

"..."

The surrounding crowd began to crowd towards this side, until they pushed away the people in front of them and saw the brightest gemstone in the Rand gem shop, they calmed down, and even began to think about how to buy this gemstone.

Eighth grade Burke!Can not ask for!Does anyone know how many Burke gems are left in Rand Gem Shop? !

Adelson has been watching the crowd from other places, and when he sees everyone looking at the eighth-level gem quietly and longingly, he knows that he has succeeded. Rand can stand firm in Aiyo, even if Aiyo The village is within the territory of the Harris family.

On the night when the store opened, Yan Xiu finished listening to Adelson's report, touched the white giant egg by his hand, and smiled.

It was ten days later that Lancelot received the news from the Rand Gem Shop. The reason was that the managers of Ayue Village saw that Landry actually had the eighth-level gem Burke, so they couldn't help but feel that they should report to their superiors.

Holding the parchment in his hand, there was no trace of a smile on Lancelot's gentle face.

Looking at Lancelot who was sitting at the table wondering what he was thinking, Dickens was also silent.

He brought the news this time to Lancelot. Although he didn't know why Lancelot let him have access to such news, Lancelot ordered it. As a subordinate, he could only follow do it.

"Hehe, there are eight-level gemstones..." Lancelot's heart was actually very complicated.

There are only a few eighth-level gems in his Harris family, but Rand's gem shop can actually sell them at a price of [-] gold coins. This proves that Rand not only has this eighth-level gem. Grade gemstones, and there may not be only a dozen of them.

Fifty thousand gold coins is a sky-high price for commoners, but it is not unaffordable for nobles.[-] to buy an eighth-level gemstone, I believe many nobles are willing.It is impossible for Rand not to know how rich the nobles are. From this point of view, the number of eighth-level gemstones Rand possesses is worth considering.

When Dickens heard the Rand Gem Shop, his heart skipped a beat, Rand Gem Shop, he couldn't be more familiar with it.He knew that Hughes had something to do with this gem shop, and now that this gem shop appeared in Aiyo, he didn't want to think about what it meant.

Lancelot put down the parchment in his hand, pondered for a while, and looked at the man standing in front of him with a smile, "Dickens, I have a task for you. You go and look it up, the gems in the Rand Gem Shop—all Where did it come from."

Dickens was taken aback, and obediently agreed, "Yes."

But even if he agreed, Dickens couldn't be in a better mood.He knows who Hughes is. Lilia still doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. Even if he and Ben have returned to the Harris family, are those bats just for show?

Dickens came out of the room with a heavy heart.

When Dickens bowed and left the room, Lancelot no longer had a smile on his face.Everyone who owns the gemstone veins on the continent of Efun knows that if Rand wants to produce so many gemstones, he must have his own vein.But he couldn't think of any mine owner who would sell the gems to a gem shop when the production of gems was reduced, even the eighth-level gems?

It's impossible to think about it.

Lancelot was very strange, but he also knew not to rush.How important gems are to people on the mainland, the less he can touch Rand.

However, Aiyo Village is in his territory, and he is the lord.Checking the source is just the first step. How can you not make good use of the gem shop in your own territory?Eighth-level gemstones, naturally, the more the better.

"Master Lancelot." The butler's voice sounded at the door.

"What's the matter?" Looking at the white-haired butler who walked in, Lancelot smiled sincerely in a rare good mood.

"There's someone from the duke's side." The butler looked at the young master in front of him and sighed inwardly.He couldn't understand why the Duke sent people here, those damned dragons—

"Let them wait, I'll go right away." Hearing this news, Lancelot's face darkened again.

Dragon, hum.

The author has something to say: it's not short...
