After walking for a while, the two finally followed Alice to the urban area. The port of 'Taran Lock' was far larger than they imagined, and it was not much worse than the modern port in the previous life in terms of facility scale and management.

"Dangdang! Welcome to the Eiffel Cat Tavern]!"

The two were brought to a rather romantic tavern. It didn't look like a particularly gorgeous and high-end tavern, but the owner's ingenuity could be seen in the overall atmosphere and furnishings of the store.

After following Alice into the tavern, 'Claude' and 'Sephiroth' saw a woman who was five points similar to her, but she was much more mature and stable than Alice in terms of dress and temperament. More feminine.

"Hello, lady boss, please open a room for us, rent it for three days first."

At the first sight of seeing the proprietress, the two of them understood the context. While the young tour guide was leading the way for him, he also took care of his family's business, but they didn't say anything about it.

After registering their names in the warm reception of the proprietress, paying the money and getting the room key, 'Claude' and 'Sephiroth' went up to the second floor.

Two women remained.

After the two people who went upstairs were completely out of sight, the proprietress standing behind the counter quietly walked behind Alice who was still looking at the stairs, and then she was caught and locked.

"Oh? Sister, what are you doing? Is this how you treat your sister who brought you two guests?"

The proprietress who grabbed her from the back didn't like her younger sister. The sisters who grew up together for decades didn't know what the other was thinking.

"Come on, people don't know me and I don't know what you want to do? Be your tour guide and don't stare at those two young people with that kind of eyes! I don't want to be complained again. Everyone treats everything differently." It's different, you can't do that to everyone after you've been in contact with tourists from the Inner Ring Kingdom a few times, you know what I mean?"

Alice, who was exposed immediately, was obviously a little shy, but the red on her face was only fleeting.

"Okay... I see"

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………

After putting the luggage used to conceal their identities in the room, Carter's two avatars came downstairs again with two large bags.

"Alice, do you know of any places around here that sell art?"

"artwork?"

Alice, who was chatting with the proprietress at the front desk, turned around after hearing the question, thought for a while and said:

"If the quantity is large, I suggest you go to the Hymn and Power] Chamber of Commerce you saw just now. They basically accept anything as long as it is valuable."

"Oh? I thought they were in the slave business..."

"How is that possible? The slave business is just an addition. Their Chamber of Commerce specializes in all kinds of high-value commodities, 'buying' strange things from all over the world, and then selling them to wealthy nobles or wealthy businessmen who are interested in it. "

"Well, it just so happens that we also know the way. Let's take a look first. If it doesn't work, I'll come back and ask you to take us to another place."

After speaking, he waved his hand and walked out of the hotel. The proprietress stopped Alice who wanted to follow.

"My sister, you're just a tour guide. They're obviously here to sell things. What's the point of you following the past? Just stay here obediently and wait for them to come back..."

After leaving the hotel, 'Claude' and 'Sephiroth' followed the way they came and came to the chamber of commerce.

The blond Carter looked at the majestic store in front of him and couldn't help but smile, and said to himself beside him:

"Do you think we will encounter the situation where dogs look down on people? After all, the two of us are dressed so ordinary, and it is normal to be looked down upon. If you want to make a bet, see if the two guards at the door will not let us in?"

The shorter silver-haired Carter raised his head and looked at himself next to him:

"What have you been thinking about all day? We are running out of time. We need to deal with this batch of Luskia's spoils as soon as possible, and then buy all the things we need. Let's go in, then go to Lord 'Bel Shana' first, and ask him to introduce us."

After that, he walked straight to the store, and the blond Carter smiled and followed his footsteps.

But the scene imagined by the blond Carter did not happen. The two guards at the door did not embarrass them, and they still maintained their cool posture standing at the door.

After opening the door and entering, a female elf waiter with a ball head came over immediately, bowed her head slightly, gave a welcome ceremony, and then said sweetly:

"Welcome to the Hymn and Power】Terrenlock Branch, I'm Patricia, may I help you?"

"We want to sell a batch of art from the Western Continent."

Hearing the silver-haired Carter's words, the waitress who was only politely keeping a smile on her eyes lit up, and turned sideways to reveal a room not far away:

"If you want to sell art, please follow me, we will have a special appraiser serve you!"

After being enthusiastically invited into a separate room, the maid made a cup of tea for them, and then left to find the appraiser.

"Hey, it is indeed an old-fashioned chamber of commerce. It doesn't have the attitude of looking down on people at all. No wonder it can do business in the whole of Aussuan. This attitude is really good."

Soon Patricia returns with a slightly flirtatious male elf.

"Welcome to our Chamber of Commerce. I wonder if there is anything for sale today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a table full of Luskia items.

"This!...This is an item from the mysterious civilization of the Western Continent! My God!"

As soon as the appraiser saw something, he couldn't help but picked up a statue and observed it carefully.

"They're all genuine Western Continent top-quality products! May I ask if this is what the two of you want to sell?"

The silver-haired Carter sitting on the stool glanced at him, smiled and nodded.

"That's true!...Sorry, I lost my temper, but I need to find a few colleagues to estimate the value of so many items, or I may waste a lot of time by myself."

"It's okay, you can do it yourself."

In this way, in order to appraise the works of art of 'Claude' and 'Sephiroth', all appraisers in this branch who were free came to appraise together, and when the items were being appraised, the two were invited to the branch. A guest in the office of the head of the ministry.

Chapter 97 Purchasing

It was already afternoon when all items were identified.

After arriving at the office of the female president, the two chatted with the female president of the branch for a period of time. After the initial price was estimated, the female president proposed to conduct an auction to maximize the benefits. However, when they heard that the auction needed to be pre-heated and publicized, and in the end it was that the auction would have to wait at least one month. After that, 'Claude' and 'Sephiroth' resolutely refused, and directly chose to pay a lower price. The price is sold directly to the [Hymn and Power] Chamber of Commerce.

"If they are sold directly to us, then the maximum price for this batch of items can only be [-] Sovereigns for the two of you..."

The female president, who is a businessman, just planned to cut the price with the two people in front of her, and proposed a relatively low amount, planning to engage in a wave of bargaining.

As a result, 'Cloud' and 'Sephiroth' performed beyond her expectation.

"Seven thousand Sovereigns..."

When the two heard the price, they just thought about it in their minds and agreed after a while. This happened to be the bottom line that Carter could accept.He lacks everything now, of which time is the most precious.Maybe auctions and other means can earn a lot more, but they still agreed to this price.

"The price is acceptable, we agreed, but in exchange, I hope that your Chamber of Commerce can help us purchase some urgently needed items."

At this time, the female president was extremely happy and surprised in her heart, but she still kept the most basic calm on her face:

"I don't know what you need? As long as it is available in our branch, I can give the two the right of first refusal and a [-]% discount on the price"

"We mainly want to buy a batch of weapons and equipment. We are from Nagares 'Estari'. A nobleman there entrusted us to sell and buy a batch of weapons to equip his city defense army. Originally, we wanted to find Prince 'Bel-Shayna' helped, but if you can help us, we can save looking for Prince 'Bel-Shayna'"

The female president behind the desk was obviously stunned when she heard the name of 'Bell Shaner', obviously she knew him.

"We also have weapons and equipment in storage, but I'm afraid we can't give you too much optimization in terms of price, especially the quantity of iron armor is not much. Although the quality of caledo volcano is the best, the quantity is the least. Our Chamber of Commerce It is estimated that the total inventory is less than [-] sets."

"Are there only two hundred sets?"

"Yes, the kingdom's control over iron armor is very strict, and the amount that enters the market is very small. Although ordinary blacksmiths can also make plate armor, it takes a long time and the price is not advantageous..."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………

Under the explanation of the president of the Women's Chamber of Commerce, 'Claude' and 'Sephiroth' understood some common sense of shopping malls that they did not know before, and finally entrusted the [Hymn and Power] Chamber of Commerce to handle and raise cash. Look for Prince 'Bel-Shana' to see if there is an insider's way. You can buy a large number of weapons and armor at low prices directly from the arsenal of Tyranok Kingdom.

Of course, it was just a try. In the worst case, the prince refused to accept the words of 'helping' them, so he could only take a step back and go back to the chamber of commerce to buy.

They set aside more than 2000 of the huge sum of [-] sovereigns as military expenses to stabilize the recruited soldiers, and the rest were used to buy various urgently needed items.

I have to say that the conditions offered by Aris Anar were so generous that Carter had to reserve enough gold coins as military expenses to last until the Chaos Invasion. At that time, the use of righteous hatred and other means could reduce the military salary a lot , even without paying, and can maintain combat effectiveness and morale, but now Carter's reputation alone can't make the elves of 'Estari' generate electricity with love.

"It's already afternoon now, wouldn't it be good for us to visit a distinguished elf prince now? Should we wait until tomorrow?"

The shorter silver-haired Carter thought for a while and analyzed to himself beside him.

"Well, that's true... But should we first go to the prince's housekeeper or something, and apply for our visit tomorrow? Isn't it like this in those noble novels, send a visit post first, if Is it convenient for us to go in if people agree?"

"Tsk tsk, what you said makes sense. I'll give you the token. You are responsible for finding Prince 'Bel-Shana'. I'll go and observe the market situation so that I won't be caught too badly."

"...Leave all the hard work to me, and you run to be chic?"

"What's the difference, we're one"

"makes sense……"

After deciding in this way, the blond Carter conjured up a set of gorgeous clothes for himself in a corner, and then stopped a carriage and asked him to take him to the mansion of Prince 'Bel-Shana'.

Silver-haired Carter walked back to the hotel slowly after watching his other self leave.

After pretending to eat something, I let Alice take me to the streets of Anluoke for a stroll.

The economy of the Terrenlock Kingdom is slightly inferior to that of the Inner Ring Kingdom, but it is relatively prosperous. There are various shops and hawkers everywhere. Carter even saw several shipyards manufacturing new ocean-going ships when he first disembarked. , but those are not what Carter is interested in now.

Although I don't know how much food Estari can harvest this time, after all, it is the food grown by the commoners themselves, and at most a part will be given to the lord, and Carter has no right to ask them for anything, so his procurement goal First of all, it is placed on the purchase of food.

After going to several stores that specialize in food, Carter placed a large order for one of them with a relatively favorable price. Although the silver-haired Carter has no money in his hand, the president specially issued a business certificate. And the reputation of being one of the largest chambers of commerce in the city [Hymn and Power] is still very valuable.

Considering the shipping problem, the total amount of Carter's orders is just the limit that a medium-sized transport vehicle can carry.

The advantage of having a modern person who knows a little about everything is the fragmentation of information, which leads Carter to know a lot of knowledge. He knows that in the past life, the armies of many countries will encounter all kinds of unnatural forces in combat. Death, and various diseases caused by unbalanced nutrition, so instead of simply purchasing barley and wheat, a staple food that is cheap and large in quantity, they ordered rye, rice, oats, millet, lentils, soybeans, chickpeas Orders for whole grains such as beans, buckwheat, etc.

The prices of these crops imported from the Inner Ring Kingdom are astonishingly low. After arriving in Tyrannok by sea and other means, the prices are still quite affordable. More than 600 tons of food only cost Carter 1.3 sovereigns, which means that there are only [-] sovereigns per ton of food on average.

Such an affordable price made Carter, who was shopping, have to marvel at the powerful use of magic in the Inner Ring Kingdom. Even if the price is shipped across the ocean and sold to other continents, it can still maintain a considerable profit. The war ran the grain merchants of other races to bankruptcy, and took all the grain supply of a country into their own hands.

After buying the main food, the silver-haired Carter, under the leadership of Alice, continued to sweep all kinds of things that were extremely useful in the war years.

Edible oil, salt, cloth, sugar, storable vegetables... and other important by-products, in order to ensure that the soldiers of the 'No. Sickness, scurvy, night blindness and other diseases that seriously affect health.

After placing an order for more than 1000 Sovereigns, Carter returned to the tavern with Alice, who was stunned by his generosity.

The other avatar had already delivered the visiting stickers, and was sitting in the tavern drinking fruit wine and chatting with the proprietress.

"Oh! Sephiroth, you are back. I thought you and Alice were lost."

Silver-haired Carter didn't say much to his other self, who was in a state of drama, but just sat beside him with a pile of contract papers.

"This is the result of today."

After taking a look at the paper, 'Claude' made a 'tsk tsk' sound.

"You almost completed the task on the first day."

"That's not!"

………………

Time flies, I ate something and drank some fruit wine in the restaurant and wine on the first floor of the tavern 'pretentious' (because they don't actually need to eat) until the sun went down, 'Claude' and ' Sephiroth said goodbye to the proprietress and Alice, and returned to her room on the second floor.

This is a very ordinary room, even the bed is a double bed, I don't know what the proprietress thinks, it may be that people who open double rooms are usually couples, anyway, the double rooms in this tavern are for couples. All are double beds, not separate twin beds.

Since the two are not actually composed of physical bodies, they can't sit down and gather Chakra when they are free like the main body, but they still feel tired and sleepy.

Since they had nothing to do, the two of them lay down on the bed and planned to go to sleep after chatting casually and sharing what they had seen that day.

But no sooner had they laid down than there was a knock at the door.

The room lit by only one candle flickered. After hearing the knock on the door, the blond Carter stood up from the darkness, quietly came to the door, and put his ear on the door.

"Mr. Cloud, Mr. Sephiroth, I'm Alice."

Hearing the familiar voice, the two avatars were relieved.

They are not fools, so they naturally know that they will definitely be noticed when they spend a lot of money in various shops and chambers of commerce in the city, so they have long known that they may encounter people who spy on intelligence, and they are already prepared, but when they heard that they were His little tour guide became slightly less wary.

The 'Claude' who opened the door saw a female elf that was completely different from the daytime one. If Alice in the daytime wanted to be a tomboy, it would be easy for her to be regarded as a man at first glance, so now she has a hairstyle. Touch up makeup, put on lipstick, spritz herself some perfume, and she looks alluring in a skimpy dress.

"What's the matter, Miss Alice?"

'Claude' looked at Alice with a smile on his face.

"I'm here to bring hot water to the two of you. Each room does not have its own bathroom, so if you want to wash up, you have to fetch hot water yourself. But my sister and I forgot to tell you about it earlier."

Looking down, she was indeed holding a washbasin with two stacked barrels in her hand, and the hot water inside was emitting steam.

"Oh, that's right, thank you."

Saying 'Claude', he picked up the washbasin stacked on top and walked into the room, while Alice walked into the room with another knife, and at the same time closed the door naturally.

Chapter 98

Early the next morning, the two dressed up and prepared to go to Prince Belciana's mansion.

The horse-drawn carriages on Tyrannock Street are picking up passengers early in the morning. They are like taxis in the elf version. They are fast, have a large interior and comfortable seats. The only drawback may be that the price is a bit expensive.

"Master, we chartered the car this morning. Let's take us to a place for breakfast first. We are going to visit a distinguished guest later."

"okay!"
