Chapter 48 Pearl Route (Part 2)

When the other party recommended himself, Duke was not flattered.

If it is said that when Duke first became an earth mage, he was just a rising star with a bright future. So now Duke has shown signs of "moving from a comet that flashed across the sky to the direction of the stars".

There is not enough money to support Duke to study magic. This is the biggest shackle that restricts Duke's growth, but what happens when this shackle is removed?

Duke can definitely become an immeasurable new force in Stormwind City!

The distinguished status of a mage allows him to stand above the power of the nobility, and his status as a mage is doomed to prevent him from spending too much time on business activities.

So Elizabeth Jones came here, in addition to discussing cooperation, it has a deeper meaning, otherwise she would not have to come to this small desert island where birds do not lay eggs.

"Hello, Jones!" Duke was gentle and gentle, neither overly enthusiastic nor repulsive.

Elizabeth Jones is an elegant lady in her thirties. Originally, when she heard about Duke's age, she thought that Duke was more talkative. At the beginning, she found out that she was wrong.

Duke is obviously not the kind of boy who has never seen the world and can't find Bei with just a few compliments.

So Elizabeth decided to treat Duke as an equal, forthcoming business partner.

She asked Duke in a very ladylike and gentle voice: "May I know the color, quantity, and method of obtaining your pearls, Your Excellency?"

Duke snapped his fingers, and then, there was a sound of splashing water on the beach. The sudden appearance of the murlocs startled both Jones and Duke's newly hired sailors. The sailors were almost ready for battle.

Because it's the murlocs!

With a colorful fish-shaped body and strong limbs, the two murlocs grandly held up a huge shell, walked up to Duke and Jones under the eyes of everyone, put down the shell, and knelt down to Duke.

Duke let out a strange sound like "oh la ga woo", and then the two murlocs happily ran down the sea again with strange steps.

Two palms with arcane brilliance appeared, which frightened Jones and the sailors again.

Duke pursed his lips and chuckled, letting the mage's hand open the shell.

In the morning light, Elizabeth Jones's eyes were almost dazzled by the dazzling array of pearls in this big shell that could fit a five-year-old child.

In her eyes, it seemed that countless kinds of beautiful and eye-catching new pearl jewelry had appeared.

Only the sailors secretly let out a low exclamation.

"Oh my god! Our employer, His Majesty Marcus, actually surrendered the murlocs!?"

"Those rude and evil murlocs who hunt and kill nearby humans?"

Duke raised his hand, and the whispered discussions among the sailors came to an abrupt end.

"Ms. Jones, the situation is as you can see. Because I have studied the murloc language, through some means, I have controlled the three murloc tribes on the north coast of Westfall. They will continuously collect pearls, corals, A series of valuable marine specialties such as hawksbill shell shells."

Duke turned his head and smiled at the sailors: "Similarly, a ship with my mage mark hanging on the bow is absolutely safe in the waters from Stormwind City port to here. Not only will the murlocs not attack you, on the contrary , and will also protect you from the attacks of other sea creatures. Of course, there are risks in going out to sea, and the murlocs cannot resist powerful sea creatures beyond their combat power."

For a while, whether Jones or the sailors, their hearts became hot!

Jones seemed reluctant to pick up one pearl after another with his hand, inspected it repeatedly, and then smiled: "Then, Your Excellency Marcus, shall we go back to Stormwind City and discuss it in detail?"

"very good."

From Stormwind City, go overland, go south to Gold Shining Town, then go west through West Springs Fortress to enter Westfall, and finally reach the northern beach. It takes a full week of tossing around.

If you take the sea route, it is extremely simple. It only takes one day to start from the port of Stormwind City and follow the coastline in the southwest direction.

Waiting is boring. In fact, in the small cabin on the ship, Duke has basically reached a cooperation agreement with Elizabeth.

This is a ten-year contract.

From now on, Duke will ensure that no less than a thousand pearls are supplied to Elizabeth Jones' jewelry store every year. As a raw material supplier, Duke can get 40% of the final selling price of pearl jewelry, and the selling price is mutually agreed by both parties when Duke delivers.

When delivering goods, Duke delivered the goods with one hand and collected the money with the other.

After Duke delivered the first batch of pearls, Elizabeth needed to pay Duke an additional 10,000 gold coins as a signing fee for the exclusive right to sell Duke's pearl routes.

In the cabin, Elizabeth's attendants handed over fine wine that symbolized happy cooperation, and Duke and Elizabeth lightly clinked glasses to show their happy cooperation.

"Seriously, Your Majesty Marcus, I have to remind you that I will earn more than you imagined in this way of cooperation. If you are willing to accept after-sales settlement and settle it quarterly, you can at least earn more money than you currently have. Double your wealth."

Duke gently shook the wine in the goblet to let the aroma of the alcohol escape, and sniffed it lightly: "For a businessman, chasing greater profits is instinct. But I am a magician first, and then He is the master of the pearl route."

"I see what you mean. It's because we value different things that we have such a good time working together."

"Indeed." Duke's smile was a little thought-provoking: "And you bought my pearls by buying out, and you took a considerable risk. I sold them at a lower price, which is not unacceptable."

"Although I'm a little sorry, I still want to say that, Mr. Marcus, you have a maturity that doesn't match your age."

nonsense! Young master, I am a college student...

The complaints in his heart belonged to the complaints, but Duke felt a little guilty. He wondered how long Jones could earn from this pearl business. All he knew was that once the orcs came and Stormwind fell, Jones would probably have to pay a lot of money.

Unfortunately, for the future of Stormwind City, Amen! Good luck!

With the help of Elizabeth Jones, Duke's pearl became the new favorite of the socialites in Stormwind in a short period of time. Almost the entire upper class of Stormwind knew that Duke Marcus owned a hen that could lay golden eggs .

No one can intervene.

It's not that no nobles have ever played the idea of ​​a pearl route.

The fishing boats they secretly dispatched were all attacked by murlocs without exception, causing heavy casualties. But Duke said that those murlocs are not under his control and have nothing to do with me.

In this way, Duke stepped onto the steps of the library of the Royal School of Spells in Stormwind City with a huge amount of wealth envied by others.

Confronted the librarian who told him that it cost money to copy every spell here.

Duke only said: "Please pack it! I want all the spells of the Earth Mage level!"
