Chapter 966, Unexpected Gain, a Box of Magic Crystals!

Trading in the border markets is a dangerous business.

Especially when the other party says that the price is arbitrary.

It often means killing and looting.

This is almost an open secret among the border nobles.

Although Fang Yuan didn't know the underground rules of this border.

But after hearing the news, he had an intuition that the other party was going to cause trouble.

Christian and Aria also said the same thing.

"Your Excellency."

"The other party is just afraid that the person who came here is evil!"

"Lure them with a high price, then ambush and plunder them."

"Aristocrats from any era in the Old Continent like to play this trick."

Fang Yuan nodded.

"Aria."

"Do you know which noble family made the offer?"

"I know that the other party's noble heraldry has a swamp as its base and a two-handed sword as its main pattern."

"It's the Sam family, the great aristocracy here."

"Their family is good at training soldiers with two-handed swords."

"And this market also belongs to Sam's family."

After a pause, Aria continued.

"Your Excellency, would you like to find an opportunity to kill them?"

Fang Yuan shook his head.

"No!"

"We need to use the power of the nobles to complete the mission."

"Kill them all, and then where can we find thugs to do the dirty work?"

Fang Yuan looked at Christian.

"How do you think it should be solved?"

Christian pondered a little.

"Your Excellency."

"Either take action directly and kill them."

"Or go visit Sam's house."

"Make a price to sell."

"The first is to make the other person hateful."

"The second type will inevitably be priced down."

"And in private meetings, it's easy to get hacked if you don't have the strength."

Fang Yuan paced for a moment.

"Then choose neither."

"Because of the governor's recruitment order, many nobles from the swamp territory have come here now."

"Most of the nobles are paupers, and their followers carry wooden spears and don't have any iron weapons."

"Aria."

"You go to the market and spread the news about selling equipment."

"Just say I want to sell some of it at a low price."

"Also Christian, you come with me to visit the Sam family."

"I judge that they will most likely choose to compromise."

"But if we really want to take action."

"Just kill them."

"When the grassland war breaks out, let the giants destroy his whole family."

Fang Yuan quickly made a plan.

And just when Aria went to execute it.

now.

In the fortress of Sam's family.

"It has been confirmed that those weapons are the Carlo family's caravan."

"We were watching before."

"I just didn't expect them to disappear suddenly."

"I didn't expect it to actually reach Efron's territory and be taken down by him."

"I'm surprised how a wandering knight like Efron can have such strong force."

"It's not surprising, the lords who can gain a foothold in the swamp all have some strength."

"This Efron is said to have a very strong personal strength."

"Then we have to buy it by force?"

"Haha, if we are surrounded by big swords and infantry, no matter how hard we beat him, he will die."

"This is the iron equipment from the orcs."

"There are thousands of arrows alone, and there are also armor-piercing arrows."

"If we can capture this batch of weapons, our strength will be doubled."

"It must be taken."

"Efron must die too."

The patriarch and heir of the Sam family are discussing how to eat these weapons.

At this moment.

The castle steward hurried in.

"Your Mightiness."

"It's bad."

"The gathered nobles are rushing to Zizhushan Town."

"Purple Bamboo Mountain!"

When Sir Sam heard this, his face suddenly darkened.

Because that's where the arms trading point is.

"what's the situation!"

"It was just rumored that someone secretly spread the news."

"These nobles are here to buy weapons."

Upon hearing this, Sir Sam quickly understood what was going on.

Be smart yourself.

Efron is not stupid either.

"Haha, I still have some brains."

The eldest son beside him frowned and said.

"Then what should we do?"

"We can't just rob it in front of all the nobles."

"This is not in line with noble etiquette."

"We did it."

"Then when they rush to rescue Tire City, these nobles will not be so obedient."

When Sir Sam heard this, he was quite disappointed with his eldest son.

"madness."

"Do you think this is the aristocratic territory of the south?"

"The pedantic aristocratic code will only make us unable to let go."

"It just needs to pay some price."

"Just rob the goods and give some to the nobles."

"The nobles of the swamp are all a bunch of poor people."

"They won't give a shit if they can get it for free."

Sir Sam came over from the frontier.

You know the underlying rules best.

After hearing this, the eldest son of the knight suddenly realized.

"Then I'll call the guards to take action."

Just when Sir Sam was about to nod.

Another waiter hurried in.

"Your Mightiness."

"Sir Efron asks for an audience."

This sudden news.

The two people who were about to take action were stunned.

After a brief surprise.

The eldest son of the knight said.

"Are you looking for death?"

"Father."

"Kill them directly in the castle."

"No one knows they have been here."

"Those equipment don't need to be distributed to others!"

Sam shook his head at this time.

"Stupid."

"He dared to come, he must have hidden the equipment."

"We will definitely not get it if we kill people."

"I have to say that this Efron is really smart."

"This time, the other party must have seen through our plan to take action."

"They are ready to negotiate terms."

"Then let's meet!"

"Go and transfer thirty great sword guards."

"Right here in the hall."

Sir Shanju waved his hand.

The waiter left quickly.

At the same time, thirty elite infantrymen wearing chain mail and holding two-handed swords stood solemnly.

The hall was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

"Dongdongdong~"

The footsteps came slowly.

Outside the hall, two figures were stretched obliquely by the sunlight.

"Lord Efron!"

At the door, the waiter stopped Fang Yuan.

"You need to take off your weapons."

Fang Yuan looked at Christian.

She handed over her long sword, but hid the light spirit on her body.

She could summon it to fight at any time.

The angel armor was also attached to her body.

Not to mention the mere thirty great sword guards.

Even if there were twice as many, Fang Yuan could be taken away calmly.

"Please!"

Entering the hall, the great sword infantry on both sides attracted Fang Yuan's attention.

"Emm~"

It was the purple unit that had been eliminated in his territory long ago.

But a border territory with a purple legion was also very strong.

Seeing Fang Yuan come in.

Sir Sam was still ready to be polite.

But Fang Yuan didn't have so much time.

"Sir Sam."

"I think you must be thinking that you can get the weapons by killing me."

"But I advise you to give up this plan."

"I only brought part of the things."

"The rest are hidden in the swamp."

"Let's trade normally."

"They are all yours."

"If you want to do it, I will die at the same time."

"The weapons will also sink into the swamp."

Sir Sam looked at Fang Yuan and said after a few seconds.

"It seems that I underestimated you."

"Lord Efron Pioneering."

"Since you are so direct, I won't waste words."

"Give me the things, I will give you 100 gold coins."

"Agree, you take the gold coins."

"If you don't agree, I will kill you and I will slowly look for it!"

This is in line with the barbaric rules of the border territory.

Fang Yuan looked at Christian beside him.

"Kill me?"

"You mean with them?"

Christian understood.

There is no need to use the weapons transformed by the light elves.

He just flashed and took away a two-handed sword.

He jumped up.

He rushed to Sir Sam.

The big sword was placed on the opponent's neck.

This scene happened in a flash.

When the opponent reacted.

His face turned pale.

And the big sword infantry around him panicked.

One by one, they raised their big swords and surrounded him.

Although Fang Yuan was not afraid at all.

The improvement of the territory made his strength change greatly.

Although he could not use the skills of the magic pattern architect.

But the strength blessing of the equipment on his body also made him able to easily deal with the current situation.

He threw a punch and knocked down the big sword infantry around him.

Grabbed the big sword.

Then he rushed forward quickly and knocked down Sir Sam's eldest son with another punch.

"Clang!"

Fang Yuan threw the weapon in front of the opponent, revealing a mocking look.

It was only in this secret realm where the strength was suppressed that he could have the opportunity to show his ability.

Change to another secret realm.

Facing the heroes of other gods who were at the peak of legend.

He really didn't dare to do this.

Fang Yuan walked into the hall.

He patted Sir Sam's face with his palm.

"Fat pig."

"Still want to fight?"

Sir Sam was stunned by Fang Yuan's strength.

He could never have imagined that.

In his own territory, under the protection of so many great sword infantry.

He was killed in return.

"I~"

Looking at the blade in front of him.

Sir Sam chose to compromise.

No, it should be tactful.

"Sir Efron."

"You are still young."

"You are powerful and will do a lot in the future."

"Don't be impulsive."

"According to the imperial decree, killing a noble is a capital crime."

Fang Yuan smiled.

"Of course."

"I have no interest in killing you."

"I came here to do only one thing."

"Cooperation, cooperation."

"It's still TM cooperation."

"Now it's time to talk about the deal between us."

"I'll give you the equipment."

"But where is the big magic crystal?"

Sam looked up in surprise.

"Efron, do you want magic crystals?"

"Why, no?"

Sam shook his head.

"Yes, but only sorcerers who are good at alchemy need them."

"It's useless for others to take them."

"And the reason why magic crystals are expensive is because alchemists buy them at high prices."

"Of course, the kingdom also stipulates that it can only be sold to alchemists."

The alchemist is a profession that has been passed down for a long time in the Old World.

Rumors have been around since the Dark Ages.

It was only during the Glory Calendar period that they were gradually replaced by scholars of magic research.

Before that.

They have always been mad scientist figures.

"So what do you want to say?"

Fang Yuan was a little surprised as to why the other party asked these questions.

"Efron."

"If you have direct access to the warlock at the Alchemy Lodge."

"How about we cooperate."

"I'll get you a magic crystal."

"You help me sell it directly, and the commission will be negotiable."

"Those businessmen are so cruel. They take at least half of the profits from the magic crystals we give them."

Fang Yuan didn't expect that the other party actually meant this.

At the same time, I also understood.

I came to the right place this time.

There may be a stable supply of magic crystals in the future.

"emmm!"

"I didn't expect that my secret would be discovered by you."

"Sir Sam."

"Are you sure you can get a lot of magic crystals?"

"The alchemy hut I know requires a lot."

At this time, Sam removed the sword from Christian's neck.

The fat face was full of smiles.

"As long as the price can be negotiated."

"It's hard to say for things like magic crystal."

"When we opened up the swamp, which noble didn't set up a camp?"

"It's a pity that they were all taken away by the kingdom's tax collectors."

"Wait until the war with the orcs is settled."

"The monsters in the swamp and the frogman tribe."

"There are a lot of magic crystals there!"

Hearing this, Fang Yuan pretended to hesitate for a moment.

"Yes, yes."

"But I want to see your sincerity!"

Sir Sam stood up.

"Somebody come!"

"Move all the magic crystals in the warehouse."

"Especially those big magic crystals."

The command is issued.

After a while.

There were attendants who moved two boxes.

After opening.

Small magic crystals filled the treasure chest.

On top, two large magic crystals emitting orange light were dazzling.

"How about it?"

Sir Sam spoke.

Fang Yuan didn't expect that the magic crystal could be obtained without any effort.

But he still frowned.

"Too little."

Sam waved his hand.

"As long as you can get gold coins."

"These are all easy to talk about."

Fang Yuan really doesn't have gold coins here.

However, if Aria's legions are here, they can obtain gold coins through plunder.

Then Sam continued.

"This time you rob the weapons of the Carlo family caravan."

"I want them all."

"These magic crystals."

"You can take a box with you."

"Except for the money to buy weapons, the rest is just a deposit for the next transaction."

"how?"

Fang Yuan agreed to such a good thing without hesitation.

The two parties who reached a deal quickly put down their swords.

Sir Sam himself hosted the feast.

The host and guest enjoyed themselves happily and the atmosphere was harmonious.

There was no sign that he was still preparing to take the other person's life before.

And this is not uncommon among nobles.

As long as there are interests between nobles, conflicts can be turned into friendship.

When the benefits are large enough.

The two parties get married, and enemies become blood allies in just a thought.

After the banquet.

Fang Yuan left the castle with the magic crystal.

Within the hall.

Sam's eldest son asked.

"Father, do they really know the alchemist?"

Sam thought about the scene that happened in the hall before.

Then he nodded with absolute certainty.

"I feel the breath of alchemical equipment on Efron."

"No wonder this wandering knight can stand firm in the swamp."

"I didn't expect that there would be such a big connection behind me."

"Meet an alchemist."

Sam sighed.

You must know that the Alpha Kingdom can now compete with so many countries.

First, it is the result of compromise between these countries.

Secondly, the Alpha Kingdom has almost all the alchemists on the continent.

It is precisely because of the powerful alchemy equipment brought by the alchemist.

Only the nobles of the Alpha Empire are so good at fighting.

At the same time, the Alpha Empire consumes the largest amount of magic crystals.

Because among the materials consumed by alchemists, magic crystals are the most consumed.

This also led to a special order from the king.

Magic crystals can only be sold to the state.

If sold privately, the nobles will be deprived of their titles and the commoners will be put to death.

But in the kingdom, in addition to the alchemists raised by the palace, there are also many alchemy huts in the wild.

They also need magic crystals.

Compared with the kingdom's low-price acquisition, the prices of these alchemy huts are much higher.

Then smuggling naturally became rampant.

Even in the royal capital, there are nobles who trade large amounts of magic crystals on the black market for profit.

Not to mention getting it at the border.

Furthermore, the bulk of the magic crystal trade is actually in other countries.

Countries trade alchemy equipment with the Alpha Empire every year.

The currency is magic crystal.

Therefore, the kingdom turns a blind eye to its own private trade.

"Father, doesn't that mean that we will be able to obtain alchemy equipment stably in the future?"

said the eldest son of Sam.

"Um."

"But we still have to find a chance to get rid of Efron, and we will contact the alchemy hut ourselves."

"Crus, you go get close to Efron."

"Find a way to get the location of the alchemy hut."

"As long as you succeed, this location will be yours in the future."

"Yes, father!"

At the same time.

After leaving Sam's Castle.

Christian spoke.

"Lord."

"We don't know the alchemist."

"What should we do if we are exposed next?"

Fang Yuan smiled slightly at this time.

"No!"

"We know him."

"And you will see him soon!"

"Ah?"

Christian was a little confused.

"Who?"

Fang Yuan then opened the Lord's Seal.

On it, the unit that awakened for the first time today was displayed.

"Choice one, hero Lilith."

"Choice two, golem legion*300." (End of this chapter)
