Lord’s mansion.
The big-bellied Onyx looked at the handsome figure in front of him. He respectfully saluted with his hands on his chest.
“Lord Richard, it’s been two months…”
The other party saved his life. He was indeed excited this time after a long time.
It’s been a long trip.
Richard smiled and was in a good mood, too.
The arrival of the other party meant that Twilight City’s trade was finally about to start.
“Long time no see Onyx. Did you have a smooth journey?”
Onyx stood up after he saluted and shook his head repeatedly.
“When I went back, desert bandits attacked me again. Fortunately, another caravan of the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce was not far away that time.”
“When I came, I encountered a terrifying sandstorm a week ago.”
He smiled bitterly as he spoke.
He would have suspected that a goddess of misfortune had blessed him if he hadn’t been able to escape death every time.
Otherwise, how could he have been so unlucky during this time?
Due to the terrain, they would form a relatively safer route in the desert.
The fact that the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce could cross the deadly desert to do business meant they had found a safe route.
For example, Twilight City was definitely in a dangerous area. If it weren’t for the previous storm and the Desert Crown Honey, he wouldn’t have come here a second time. It was too much of a persuasion.
Only then did Richard remember that last week seemed to be the storm week.
However, with him around, no matter how fierce the sandstorm was, it would still go around Twilight City.
One of the characteristics of the desert ruler’s talent was to make the sandstorm not invade the territory.
An overbearing stroke.
After Onyx sighed with emotion, he immediately collected his mind and got down to business.
“Lord Richard, after I brought Desert Crown Honey back to Solan City, it attracted the president’s attention.”
Richard immediately perked up and looked at the other party with a burning gaze.
“What is the attitude of the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce?”
Onyx said excitedly.
“After the president tasted it, he is willing to buy it in full.”
He added.
“Buy as much as you can!”
The wealthy Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce had the confidence and strength to say this.
Richard’s gaze was like a knife when he stared at the other party.
“What price can the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce offer?”
Because resources could recruit soldiers, the transactions between Aborigines were currency-based resources.
Among the resources, gold coins had always been the main currency for ordinary goods transactions because of their small size and light weight.
And the transactions of top-tier items were usually based on rare resources — gemstones, crystals, and other higher-value items as currency.
Of course, barter was usual. It all depended on one’s choice.
“Yes,” Onyx said.
“The Phoenix Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce is willing to pay 100 gemstones per unit.”
“One hundred gemstones?”
Richard frowned slightly.
He had never been to Solan City before. And he had no direct contact with the outside world on the main plane.
Richard was currently in a closed state. He didn’t know the market price. So he couldn’t determine whether the price was low or high.
Although he could get a lot of information from the players’ forums, he didn’t know how vast the main dimension was. One region was different from another, so it was impossible to generalize.
He felt helpless thinking of this.
He made up his mind. After he finished his work, he would surely make a trip to Solan City.
When Onyx saw that Richard was silent, he said anxiously.
“Lord Richard, I swear by the god of merchants that this price is starkly fair.”
“In Solan City, a bottle of good alchemy potion can only be sold for ten units of gemstones.”
“Desert Crown Honey is a consumable. Each unit is 100 gemstones. Only the great nobles can afford it…”
Richard did not say anything. He nodded to Karu, who had been silent the whole time. And the latter turned around and left the hall.
A moment later, he returned with two maids holding trays.
An intensely remarkable fragrance began to spread as the two entered the room.
Onyx smelled that familiar scent and felt his saliva secreted crazily in his mouth.
Gulp! Even though he tried his best to suppress the sound of swallowing saliva. It was exceptionally distinct in the quiet room.
A handmaiden stepped forward and slowly lifted the wooden cover on the tray. That incomparably rich fragrance gushed out once again.
“Try it.”
Onyx had some strange movements. He wanted to pretend to decline, but when he saw the honey sparkle in the porcelain bowl, he immediately swallowed his words.
In any case, Lord Richard did not lack this bit of honey. His bottle had been taken away by the president.
As his thoughts surged, he picked up the bowl.
‘Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!’
The taste buds in his mouth instantly exploded, and he had a graceful feeling.
It was a peerless delicacy.
As he drank, he felt as if the price was lower…
After he finished drinking, Onyx’s expression suddenly changed slightly.
He looked at Richard and said in surprise.
“I feel my physical strength is recovering rapidly, and another kind of power… Is restoring magic power?”
Richard nodded.
“The quality of the honey supplied will all be of such quality, and it will even be better in the future.”
Onyx took a deep breath and said decisively.
“In that case, we are willing to buy it at 200 gemstones per unit!”
The price immediately doubled.
A miniature rare-level resource vein only had 100 units of reserves, and they needed to send people to mine for more than a month.
A unit of honey could buy the reserves of two miniature rare-level mineral veins.
