Latest website: With the cool sea breeze blowing gently over the dock of the city-state of Yaqi, a golden sunrise finally slowly rose from the sea level, dispelling the fear brought by the darkness.

After about an hour or two, the originally dead city seemed to come to life at once, and the streets and alleys were full of people rushing to make a living.

In particular, those powerful businessmen gathered at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, constantly giving money to the servants who came in and out, and asked them to help inquire whether the protagonists of the banquet last night had woken up.

You must know that gems, especially large and high-quality gems, are an out-and-out strategic material in this world.

Once you get it, you can not only sell it to those powerful spellcasters at a high price, but maybe you can also get closer to the other party, get one or two apprenticeships, and send your children to learn magic.

Because of this, the seemingly dilapidated boat was now surrounded by heavily armed soldiers, as well as men and women wearing special badges squatting on the boat all night without sleeping, just to classify all the gems according to their purpose and quality. .

From the excitement and excitement in their eyes, it is not difficult to see that these gems are absolutely impossible to be fake.

"Look at these low-level and ignorant idiots! They are fighting against each other for a mere pile of gems created by alchemy. If they know that these gems will actually shatter on the spot once the storage exceeds a certain upper limit, or even explode violently, their faces will definitely change. very exciting."

The shapeshifter leader stood on the balcony on the second floor of the guest room, looking down at the businessman who was looking forward to the door, his tone was full of irony.

Artificial gems are the unique alchemy technology of Darent civilization.

In order to satisfy the clan's hunger for gems and reduce the price of gems, a genius alchemist invented this technology, and with the continuous improvement of technology, the gap between artificial gems and natural gems is also rapidly narrowing.

To this day, it is not even indistinguishable from a natural gemstone, as long as it does not overdraw its full potential.

But unfortunately, no matter how close it is, artificial gems have a fatal flaw, that is, the stability after reaching the critical point will become extremely poor.

Even if a natural gemstone reaches a critical point, it can continue to maintain its own structural integrity, and at most it will be consumed little by little.

But man-made gems will shatter on the spot, and the energy stored in it will rage around in a visible form until it is exhausted.

"Stupid? Maybe! But don't forget, it was these stupid guys who successfully wiped out a complete expeditionary force. Remember, never underestimate the enemy." The boy narrowed his eyes and responded meaningfully.

The shapeshifter leader nodded slightly: "You're right! I shouldn't underestimate them! At least I shouldn't underestimate the thirteen traitors who control the world right now."

"Yeah! A group of people who can use betrayal to such a masterful level should earn respect no matter what. Oh, by the way, how is our Lord Governor?" Master bedroom.

If there is one thing he wants to figure out most now, it is undoubtedly the strange behavior of Parossa last night.

Why did the other party sneak into his room for no reason?

What hidden secrets and motives lie behind?

If it wasn't for the fear of disturbing the so-called "kings", he would have let the shapeshifters devour them and read the memory directly.

"Sorry, you are too heavy, the poor worm has not woken up yet. But don't worry, our people are accompanying him, and if there is any trouble, we can definitely send the news as soon as possible. ' the shapeshifter leader swore.

Of course, he has such capital.

All the targets targeted by the shapeshifters have so far not been recorded.

"Very good!" The boy nodded in satisfaction after hearing this. "If that's the case, then let's start the campaign. If I remember correctly, those beautiful maids just now secretly stuffed several notes into your hands, right?"

"Ah! That's right! What, are you going to see those merchants now?" The shapeshifter leader asked with a grin that was not a smile.

"Why not? You must know that behind these businessmen, there are likely to be some high-ranking "big men". And in their minds, we have the information we desperately need."

After all, the boy walked towards the stairs leading to the living room on the first floor without turning his head.

About half an hour later, he received the first visitor in the spacious living room on the first floor.

"Good morning, Mr. Bancor. The great adventure story of you and your companions has now become a legend in this city, and it may not be long before it will be sung by bards in this country and even the entire continent." The obese businessman bowed and said compliments.

He had obviously done his homework before coming, and even found out the names and origins of several people.

"Hehe, thank you. I don't need to say more polite words, let's go straight to the topic, I believe you don't want to waste too much precious time on meaningless things, don't you?" The boy stared at him with a slightly playful look facing each other.

"Hahahaha! I like your cheerfulness! After all, time is money!" The businessman tried to hide his surprise with laughter~lightnovelpub.net~ He couldn't believe it, a group of almost illiterate pirates and Mercenaries actually know how to seize the initiative in negotiations.

"Yes! Time is money! So, how much of those gems do you plan to eat, and what price are you willing to pay?" The boy seemed to see through the reality of the fat man in front of him, leaned forward slightly, and put on a pair of belts. There is a distinctly aggressive posture.

"Two hundred top-quality, one thousand sub-quality. The ratio of ruby ​​to sapphire is a bit higher. As for the price, I think 90% of the current market price is quite reasonable. After all, the influx of so many gems at one time will definitely cause the market Turbulence, I need to minimize the risk." The businessman pretended to calculate a little and quickly gave a price.

"Ninety percent of the market price? Do you think me and my companions are idiots? The market price is volatile, referring to those low-quality gemstones that can only be used for jewelry. Like high-quality gemstones, the supply is always in short supply. I can guarantee that as long as the gems we bring back are brought to the presence of powerful spellcasters, they will be willing to pay a high price. I will give you one last chance to make a bid. If I can't come up with a satisfactory price, I will have to terminate our relationship. Talk between. You have to understand that there are still many merchants waiting outside, waiting to eat more gems..."
