Casting spells

"Understood! I will take care of everything and make sure he won't remember anything when he wakes up..."

The first thousand 290 eight chapters start to act

With the cool sea breeze gently blowing over the docks of the Yaqi city-state, a ray of golden sun finally rose slowly from the sea level, dispelling the fear brought by the darkness.

About an hour or two later, the originally dead city suddenly seemed to come alive, and the streets and alleys were full of people running around for their livelihood.

Especially those powerful businessmen gathered at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, and kept giving money to the servants who came in and out, asking them to help find out whether the protagonists of the banquet last night had woken up.

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

Once you get it, you can not only resell it to those powerful spellcasters at a high price, but you might also get closer to them, get one or two apprenticeships, and send your children to learn magic.

Because of this, the seemingly dilapidated boat was already surrounded by heavily armed soldiers, and men and women wearing special badges squatted on the boat for a whole night without closing their eyes, just to classify all gemstones according to their uses and qualities .

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

"Look at these low-level ignorant idiots! They are actually fighting openly and secretly for a bunch of gems produced by alchemy. If they know that these gems will actually shatter on the spot or even explode violently once they are stored beyond a certain limit, their faces will definitely be shocked." very exciting."

The shapeshifter leader stood on the balcony on the second floor of the guest room, condescendingly looking down at the eagerly awaited businessman at the door, his tone full of sarcasm.

Artificial gemstones are the unique alchemy technology of Darente civilization.

In order to meet the people'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.

Today, as long as the maximum potential of artificial gemstones is not overdrawn, it is not even different from natural gemstones.

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

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

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

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

The leader of the shapeshifters 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 superb level should win respect no matter what. Oh, by the way, how is our lord governor?" master bedroom.

If there was one thing he wanted to figure out the most right now, it was undoubtedly Parosa's weird behavior last night.

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

What kind of ulterior secrets and motives are hidden behind it?

If it wasn't for the fear of alarming those so-called "kings", he would have let the shapeshifter swallow it long ago, and then directly read the memory.

"Sorry, you're too harsh. That poor guy hasn't woken up yet. But don't worry, our people are by his side. If there is any trouble, we will definitely send the news as soon as possible. "The leader of the shapeshifters swore a promise.

Of course, he has such capital.

Those targeted by shapeshifters have so far had no record of getting away with it.

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

"Ah! That's right! Why, are you going to meet those merchants now?" The leader of the shapeshifters asked with a half-smile.

"Why not? We must know that behind these businessmen, there are likely to be some high-ranking "big shots". And their minds are filled with information we urgently need."

After all, the boy walked towards the stairs leading to the living room on the first floor without looking back.

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

"Good morning, respected Mr. Banquo. 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." Slightly The plump businessman bowed and said compliments.

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

"Hehe, thank you. There's no need to say more polite words, let's get straight to the point. I believe you don't want to waste too much precious time on meaningless things, don't you?" The boy looked at it with a slightly playful look. looking at each other.

"Hahahaha! I like your straightforwardness! After all, time is money!" The businessman tried to hide his surprise with a big laugh.

He couldn't believe that a group of pirates and mercenaries who were almost illiterate knew how to seize the initiative in negotiations.

"Yes! Time is money! Then, for those gems, how much 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, leaning forward slightly, posing in a suit Has a visibly aggressive posture.

"Two hundred top-quality gems, and one thousand sub-quality gems. The ratio of rubies to sapphires is a little higher. As for the price, I think [-]% of the current market price is quite reasonable. After all, the influx of so many gems at one time will definitely cause the market to I need to minimize the risk." The businessman pretended to do some calculations 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 has always been in short supply. I can assure you that as long as the gemstones we brought back are brought before the powerful spellcasters, they will be willing to pay a high price. I will give you one last chance to make an offer. If you cannot come up with a satisfactory price, I will have to terminate our relationship Talk between them. You have to understand that there are still many merchants waiting outside, waiting to eat more gems..."

The first thousand 290 chapters and nine forgotten

Businessmen are always the special group in the world with the least principles, etiquette, shame, and even moral bottom line.

In their eyes, everything, including life, has a price that is either clear or vague.

As long as someone can pay the price, they never mind betraying their own country, nation, and kind, and they will try to influence the political, economic, and ideological fields whenever they get the chance, turning everyone around them into a and profit-making tools.

The so-called "businessmen with a sense of social responsibility" never existed from the beginning to the end.

These people either want to create a good personal and corporate image in order to win the favor of more potential customers, increase the market share of their products, and then achieve the purpose of earning profits;

Either they are restricted by social rules and laws, and they have to show a "benevolent" appearance, but they still desire to break free from the shackles in their bones, buy rights through money, and make themselves a special individual standing at the top of the pyramid.

Through the power of magic, the boy read the minds of dozens of wealthy businessmen in just one morning, knowing what these guys were thinking in their hearts.

Among them, three or four daring bastards actually tried to play the "empty glove white wolf" trick.

greedy!

despicable!

cheat!

In order to get more gem shares, they did not hesitate to expose each other's rivals, and used the most vicious language to describe those who they usually call "friends".

Unfortunately, these actions meant nothing to the boy at all.

He didn't care about the filth of the merchants in private, and he didn't care who the gems would end up in. He just wanted to use the hands and mouth of the other party to spread the news of the treasure.

By noon, one-third of the man-made gemstones had been replaced with precious metals, or mortgages such as manors, slaves, and real estate.

Looking at these things piled up in the hall enough to drive the outside world crazy, the boy couldn't help but chuckled and shook his head: "Is this wealth?"

"To a certain extent, yes. At least until the existing order of this world collapses, you can use them to buy anything." The shapeshifter leader walked out from the corner of the living room at some point, his eyes flickering Full of satirical light.

There is no doubt that this is nothing to the conquest of the whole world.

"Hehe, you are right. Before the existing order collapses, these things that are regarded as wealth can still provide us with a lot of convenience. By the way, hasn't the Governor woke up yet? Could it be that I Is it too hard?" The boy asked with great interest while playing with the mountains of precious metal coins.
