Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 726 Where is the resentment of the dragon people towards Faerun Continent

Hill took the list from the hand of the puppet standing beside him, with an incomprehensible smile on his face.

An Ran quietly raised her head to take a look, her whole body shivered, trying to be more humble.

But Hill didn't intend to give him a bad impression. Although he kept flipping through the list, many strange emotions slowly emerged in his mind.

The five words 'An's Treasure House' made Hill want to laugh, but his heart was filled with waves. This is really an instant change from fantasy to fairy tale!
However, in the real world, it seems that there will only be such chambers of commerce that use the name of treasure to show that their background is strong enough, and it must also be shown that this is only a treasure for the An family.

Domineering names such as 'No. [-] Building in the World' or 'Wu Shuang Building' will not appear at all.

No matter how powerful the aristocratic family is, it will not surpass the imperial power.

They were able to half-empty the emperor, relying on the cooperation rather than the strength of a family, so unless there was a natural disaster or a riot by the common people, the position of the royal family was still quite secure.

Hill thinks that Eastern World's approach of maintaining balance in all aspects is quite interesting.

Although the quotations for special products such as porcelain and silk in the brochure are relatively high, they are indeed the most high-end ones. Some of the porcelain that Hill snatched from Waterdeep City during that time are actually only mid-range among them.

Hill pointed to a set of elegant and dignified 'Red Plum in Snow' porcelain and asked An Ran: "I think the price of this kind is a bit higher, why didn't you sell it in Deep Water City?"

This set of porcelain is so beautiful, even if it is only painted on paper, it can make Hill feel the beauty of "fairy in the empty mountain, independent of the world".

Even if people in Faerun Continent can't see this kind of beauty, the paper-thin and jade-like appearance is still attractive enough.

"Master Bolaño, for merchants, the top-notch items are not necessarily the most suitable commodities, especially for merchants in Faerun, their official caravans are relatively small.

For merchants whose background is not strong enough, selling this kind of top-notch products is likely to result in being seized by a certain lord, and it’s fine if they can’t make any money. That's horrible. "

An Ran just said a few words arrogantly, and immediately realized that what she was facing was the so-called official caravan of the Faerun Continent. It's about those corrupt territories in the south, and they haven't done this once or twice.

Even many caravans that only sell mid-level goods will be unlucky, so most of the chambers of commerce send their goods to Waterdeep City for sale.

Although Waterdeep City also has to pay a large amount of protection fees to the gangsters and those officials, they at least take money to do things. "

That's right, although the lords of Deep Water City are quite greedy, they still have a bottom line, they won't go fishing in the marsh, and the status of the trading city must be preserved.

Hill didn't ask why Shoulong's official magic ship didn't sell such good things. Few of the lords in Faerun were willing to spend a lot of money to buy such porcelain.

But they'd love to go the other way.

On the huge sea, those pirates with particularly sophisticated weapons appeared, ignoring the ordinary merchant ships passing by, but dared to rob Shoulong's official fleet.

As for how those giant magical weapons that can even fight against the elf royal fleet appeared on the pirate ship, everyone has a good idea.

Unless it is the emissary fleet sent by the Shoulong Empire in the name of the emperor, no one would want to play the game of chasing each other or shooting each other with pirates.

Anyway, mid-level products sell quickly on the continent of Faerun, and Shoulong’s official fleet would never take that risk. The goods of the caravan disappeared without a trace!

The crew of the magic ship is not accessible to ordinary people.

The group of lords in Faerun Continent are really good at corrupting people's hearts. Hill knew that one of the pirates on the Sword Coast was formed by the dragon people, and they all came from similar backgrounds. Kicked out the door.

In the end, he could only follow the official captain of Shoulong who was full of ambition and betrayed the whole ship.

Hill forgot what that guy's name was, but he probably didn't get any benefits these years. Before the Sword Coast was controlled by Aglaia, the ocean there was basically played by Amberley.

People who are used to being guarded by dragons like the Dragon Empire have no idea how much trouble evil and greedy gods can cause.

The offshore goddess likes to use huge waves to form giant claws to grab the pirate ship when the pirates successfully rob.

After Aglaia defeated Amberley, although the Sword Coast was no longer in such a sudden danger, there was no room for pirates to display their power.

Aglea's combing of the offshore is very perfect, and there is no need to spend a lot of money to bribe the caravan of the goddess of the sea. Of course, all the money will be exchanged for weapons.

Moreover, merchants no longer have to worry about being caught by Amberley when there are too many ships. Of course, dozens or even hundreds of ships can be used to form a caravan. The pirates simply do not have the ability to deal with such a large fleet.

Therefore, the pirates on the Sword Coast must either concentrate in Luskan to compete with the native pirates there, or they have to go to the Moon Shadow Sea to obey the command of the Pirate King there.

Hill flipped through it, and the ornaments made of emeralds were also very exquisite.

However, except for those exquisite and gorgeous jewelry, Shoulong people rarely sell ornaments to Faerun Continent. It is indeed very sincere for An Jia to show Hill a look.

Mainly, for Faerun Continent, transparent jade is more important as a spell-casting material.

Emerald is shaped by the little fairy in the heaven, it has the effect of calming the mind and reassuring, and has a high status in Shoulong Empire.

However, this does not prevent the people of Faerun from cutting them into small pieces the size of a fingernail. Transparent jade is often used to release healing or prophecy magic, which is very scarce in Faerun.

When the witches on Shoulong's side used spells, they didn't have much demand for jewelry and jade.

In addition to emeralds, this kind of jade from heaven can allow witches to use the aura stored in it.

And when the aura is used up, it can be replenished in a place with plenty of aura, and it can be used again after a while.It doesn't break one piece at a time.

Therefore, in Shoulong Empire, most of the jadeites are large ornaments, and those that can be used to make jewelry are actually broken jade produced by cutting ornaments.

For example, the Emerald Mountain that Hill is staring at is really a treasure he has never seen before: on the delicate and transparent black mountain range, there are dark green and light green trees attached, and the white stone network is carefully carved into a stream. There are even gray cliffs.

Looking at this mountain, there will be a sense of leisure and contentment. This must be a masterpiece made by a master sculptor with very artistic taste. Hill really likes it.

Then he heard An Ran's dissuasion with a guilty and resolute tone: "Mr. Bolaño... Although this Emerald Mountain is very big, if you plan to cut it into small pieces... Treasure Tower can't takeout."

Hill looked at An Ran, who was full of panic on his face in surprise, gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists: "If I wanted spell materials, wouldn't I just ask you to buy the raw materials of chopped jade?

Such a beautiful work of art, I am not crazy, why do I feel uncomfortable looking for this.

I remember that you sell a kind of jade square brand? "

It was a small piece about the size of mahjong. Although the water head was not so transparent, it was still much easier to use than some low-grade jade. Many Faerun masters would carefully divide it into four parts after buying it.

An Ran suddenly relaxed, and said in a weak voice: "This is the proud work of the most outstanding jade master in Zhenbao Building, if it is destroyed, he will definitely leave An's house directly.

Because he carried out his mind, he can feel whether his works still exist.

This kind of master, even if our An family has some strength, we dare not force it. "

He couldn't help adding a sentence: "The main reason is that there was a precedent...the Qin family who sold a snow mountain made of white jade to the Lord of Faerun, until now no jade master is willing to help them."

"Suet white jade?" Hill asked with a half-smile, as if he had heard this story before.

"Yes, yes, yes!" An Ran replied repeatedly, "It is said that it was cut into thousands of pieces, and the master was so angry that he vomited blood when he found out."

"That lord's stupidity... Even the continent of Faerun is famous." Hill knew who it was, Prince Andru, a big trash, "I will sell things to him, the Qin family intends to fight with Moon Shadow Island Dealing with pirates? That's the only role that guy has."

An Ran clapped her hands suddenly: "Ah! That's how it is. No wonder the Qin family knew the habits of the Faerun people and sold such good things to that lord at a low price!

Back then, there was a bosun of a magic ship, who seemed to be called Shengclawed Dragon. He led some sailors, killed the captain and first mate, and defected directly to Faerun, in Waterdeep City.

The dead captain was the Qin family.

They have always wanted to catch him back and execute him Ling Chi, but unfortunately, they have never been successful. For some reason, Faerun doesn't like to accept this kind of business. "

Hill was silent for a few seconds before saying, "It's fine now. You can tell them that there must be adventurers in Faerun who are willing to accept this kind of business."

In the past, even the pirates and sailors who dealt with Amberley all the year round would often overturn their cars. That guy was too moody, and he might kill the ship he just paid for his life on a whim even though he took the money. .

Those adventurers who took the bounty didn't have the confidence to face the crazy Amberley at all.

An Ran didn't quite understand what Hill said, but she still nodded and kept this matter in her heart. If it was really similar to what the archmage said, then the Qin family would owe them a favor.

　If you still have votes... can you vote for me in the last hour of 2021?
