Chapter 58 Initial Cooperation
For Ronin, the purpose of entering the Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce was shopping, but this did not prevent him from obtaining a lot of information.
And Hooker told almost everything he knew and could say in order to facilitate the transaction.
In addition to the prices of various commodities, Ronin discovered an interesting thing - the magic core.
In his understanding, the magic core is the source of the magic energy of the Warcraft, similar to the role of a battery. After Hooker's explanation, he had a deeper understanding of the role of the magic core.
The magic core is a crystal object, even if it is ground into particles, it can still react with mana, which is why it can be used as a material for mana ink.
In addition, when a magician uses mental power to perceive a complete magic core, he can sense the spell pattern inside the magic core.
This spell pattern is the key to the ability of Warcraft to use magic, and it is also the origin of the early magicians to master the spell pattern.
When a Warcraft can use multiple magics, there are often many spell patterns in its magic core. These spell patterns may be closely combined, and the magician needs to split them, which is one of the magician's daily research work.
Through this kind of research, the probability of the magician mastering this magic can be greatly improved, which is much better than practicing with a spell book.
Ronin didn't feel much about this.
After all, he mastered it after practicing a few times with the spell book, and felt that learning magic was not too difficult.
Maybe this is the difference between genius and ordinary people.
In this way, the conversation lasted for a long time before both sides finally turned the topic back to shopping.
Ronin didn't hesitate and immediately asked to buy five purple magic crystals, twenty-seven bottles of second-level magic ink, six second-level magic leathers, and "Small Flame" and "Fireball" spell books.
Magic crystals are used for the first charge;
Spell ink and magic leather are pre-made materials for magicians to make spell scrolls by the Silva Magic Energy Chamber of Commerce.
A bottle of 10 ml spell ink costs 6 gold coins, which can draw an average of one second-level spell scroll;
A piece of Warcraft leather costs 15 gold coins, which can make an average of five spell scrolls.
The price of two spell books is relatively cheap, basically equivalent to half of the same-level spell scroll, only 10 gold coins in total.
The purchase of these four types of things cost a total of 762 gold coins!
The biggest part is the magic crystal, five of which are worth 500 gold, spell ink 162, and leather is less, only 90 gold coins.
Roning now has a total of 30 bottles of spell ink, with 6 pieces of Warcraft leather, which can make 30 spell scrolls and earn 510 gold coins. He spent a lot and earned a lot.
When Hook saw such a big order, his eyes were full of stars, and he wanted to call Roning grandpa.
Of course, Roning had to bargain, and he cut down 32 gold coins in the end, and asked for a good feather pen and a book on spell scroll making.
When Roning was sent out, all the salesmen on the first floor were startled. One by one, they gave Roning the most enthusiastic eyes, especially some pretty waitresses, who only regretted that they had no chance, otherwise they would have wanted to go with Roning.
Outside the Chamber of Commerce building, Hook sent Roning outside.
"Lord Roning, it's settled then. One month later, that is, in early October, I will arrange a caravan to your territory!"
"Haha, welcome, welcome!"
Roning smiled and stretched out his hand. While the other party was in a daze, he shook hands with him twice enthusiastically.
The proposal to let the Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce come to Shanlin Town was actually proposed by Hook. On the surface, he said that it was to take away the newly made spell scrolls, but in fact it was to continue to sell spell ink and monster leather to Roning.
After all, even if Roning made thirty healing spell scrolls in the next month, the Chamber of Commerce could only make a profit of a few dozen gold coins.
But if more spell ink was sold to Roning, it would make more money.
For Roning, few chambers of commerce came to Shanlin Town.
He could use the fact that the Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce was here to spread the word, and maybe it would have a good effect, making other chambers of commerce interested in Shanlin Town.
As for the risk of passing through the woodland to Shanlin Town, Ronin didn't need to worry about it.
The Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce was the largest magician chamber of commerce in the kingdom, and its strength was self-evident. There would be no problem arranging senior knights to pick up and deliver the goods.
Not to mention the monsters, even if Baron Leisen of the Sean Territory saw it, he would not easily provoke it.
Looking at the backs of Ronin and the other two leaving, the smile on Hook's face never faded.
It was his blessing to meet such a sponsor!
"Promotion, salary increase!"
Hook was very excited when he thought about it. In his eyes, Ronin was a cash cow, and a cash cow facing him.
"Such a big customer must be reported to Master Jixiu!"
Jixiu Heer is the general manager of the Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce in the Horse Herding City branch. He is a level 5 chief magician and spends most of his time in the Chamber of Commerce building.
Hook sorted out the receipts and gold coins, spiraled up the stairs and climbed to the top floor.
Not to mention Hook's side, Roning, who walked out of the Magic Chamber of Commerce building, had completed the main purchases of this trip to the Horse Herding City.
The only things left to buy were wrought iron, agricultural tools, and going to the slave exchange to inquire about the price of slaves.
Seeing that it was noon, Roning took Elron and McKen to the tavern where he had agreed to meet with Tom and Gallon.
It's called a tavern, but it's actually a restaurant, but there are more people drinking in the hall.
As soon as he came in, noisy shouts and yells kept pouring into Ronin's ears. It was more lively here than the morning market.
Ronin took a look and found that most of the people eating and drinking in the hall were hunters and mercenaries.
For these people who are used to adventure and running around, eating and drinking with their companions is the happiest time. Therefore, most of them are particularly heroic when drinking, and their voices are relatively loud. Some of them are used to saying some vulgar words.
They are basically free people, and only a very small number of them are special slaves who don't need to cultivate the land.
Although there are professional knights among them, very few can reach the intermediate knight level.
Although they are extraordinary people, their ancestors have no background and no channels. It is difficult for them to enter the sight of nobles or major forces, and there is no channel to join them.
After all, for some nobles, they are more willing to temporarily employ extraordinary people with unclear origins rather than accept their loyalty.
Ronin thought about hiring a few professional knights to deal with the Sean Territory, but he killed the idea as soon as it came up.
Mercenaries' business mainly focuses on escorting caravans, accepting specific commissions to hunt monsters, protecting certain people, etc. If you want them to deal with the noble territory, you have to pay a huge price.
And even if you pay, the other party will still evaluate the chances of winning and potential crises. If the chances of winning are not great and there is a possibility of offending a larger noble, no matter how much money you pay, the mercenaries probably won't be willing to die.
In addition, due to the instability of mercenaries and the lack of loyalty of knights in the territory, once Ronin hires them, Baron Leisen may know his thoughts in advance before he takes any action against the Sean Territory.
But then again, as long as these mercenaries make enough money, or their own strength reaches a certain level, or they form a strong mercenary group, they are still qualified to sit down and talk with the nobles.
It is said that the leaders of the Black Gold Brotherhood and the Polante Thieves Group active in the southeast of Wushan Territory started out as mercenaries.
Now that the business is successful, not only have they occupied several cities in the southeast, but they have also made Wiggins and his men helpless.
In short, the nobles have their own lives, and the commoners have their own ways of living, and most of the time they do not interact with each other.
Roning paid eight silver coins and asked the waiter to prepare an independent and spacious box for them, isolating most of the noisy sounds outside.
He held the five magic crystals in his hand, and at the same time took out the magic crystal trophies he got from Pedro from the space ring.
The six magic crystals have been collected, and now it is time for the first charge.
