Survive the Fourth Natural Disaster

Hill took the list from the hand of the puppet standing next to him, pretending to be a maid, with an unexplainable smile on his face.

An Ran quietly raised his head and took a look, feeling shuddered and trying to be more humble.

But Hill didn't intend to give him a blow. Although he didn't stop looking at the list, many strange emotions slowly emerged in his mind.

The words "An's Treasure House" made Hill want to laugh a little, but there were waves in his heart. This was like going from fantasy to a Shinto fairy tale in an instant!

However, in the real world, it seems that there will only be such chambers of commerce that use the name of treasure to reflect that their family background is strong enough, and it must also show that it is only considered a treasure for Anjia.

There won't be any domineering names like 'The Best Building in the World' or 'Unparalleled Building'.

No matter how powerful the family is, it will never override the imperial power.

They were able to semi-empty the emperor by working together, not by the strength of the family. Therefore, unless there was a natural disaster or riots by the common people, the position of the royal family was still quite secure.

Hill thinks that the Eastern world's approach of maintaining balance in all aspects is quite interesting.

Although the quotations for specialty products such as porcelain and silk are relatively high in the brochure, they are indeed of the highest quality. Some of the porcelain that Hill snatched from Waterdeep during that time was actually only average in the middle.

Hill pointed to a set of elegant and solemn 'Red Plum in the Snow' porcelain and asked An Ran: "I think the price of this kind is higher. Why isn't it sold in Waterdeep City?"

This set of porcelain is so beautiful, even if it is just painted on paper, it can make Hill feel the beauty of "a fairy from the empty mountain, isolated from the world and independent".

Even if people in Faerûn can't see this kind of beauty, the paper-thin and jade-like appearance is still attractive enough.

"Master Bolaño, for merchants, the best things are not necessarily the most suitable products, especially for merchants in Faerûn, who have relatively few official caravans.

For merchants with insufficient backends, selling this top-notch product would most likely result in it being appropriated by a certain lord and not making any money. However, if someone accused him of being accused and his whole family died, that would be a big deal. It's too awful. "

An Ran just said a few words arrogantly, and immediately realized that what was in front of him was the so-called official caravan of Faerun. The lord of Faerun he was mocking was also the lord of the archmage, and he immediately added a few words: "Of course, I They are talking about those corrupt territories in the south. They have done this not once or twice.

Even many caravans that only sell mid-range products will be unlucky, so most chambers of commerce send the items to Waterdeep City to sell them.

Although Waterdeep City also has to pay a large amount of protection fees to the gangsters and those officials, they at least do things for the money. "

Also, although the lords of Waterdeep City are quite greedy, they still have a certain bottom line and will not fish in the lake. The status of the trading city must be maintained.

Hill didn't ask why Shoulong's official magic ship didn't sell such good things. There really weren't many lords in Faerûn willing to spend big money on such porcelain.

But they are willing to use another method.

On the huge sea, those pirates with particularly sophisticated weapons appeared, ignoring the ordinary merchant ships passing by, but dared to rob Shou Long's official fleet.

As for how those giant magic weapons that can even compete with the Royal Elf Fleet appeared on the pirate ship, everyone knows.

Unless it was an envoy fleet sent by the Shoulong Empire in the name of the emperor, no one would be willing to play a game of chasing and chasing or shooting each other with the pirates.

Anyway, mid-range products are sold very quickly in Faerun. The official fleet of Shoulong will not take that risk at all. Even so, there are always some professionals on their ships who were tempted to betray when they were in Faerun. The caravan's goods have disappeared without a trace!

The crew of the magic ship are not accessible to ordinary people.

The group of lords in Faerûn are really good at corrupting people's hearts. Hill knew that among the pirates on the Sword Coast, one of them was formed by the Dragon Shou people. They all had similar origins. After losing their use value, they were replaced by a group of pirates. Kicked out the door.

In the end, he could only follow an official captain of Shoulong who was so ambitious that he betrayed the entire ship.

Hill forgot the guy's name, but he probably didn't get much benefit over the years. Before the Sword Coast was controlled by Aglaia, the ocean there was basically played by Umberli.

People who are used to being protected by dragons like the Dragon Empire have no idea how much trouble evil and greedy gods can cause.

The goddess of the sea likes to use huge waves to form giant claws to grab the pirate ship when the pirates succeed in robbery, and take advantage of the pirate ship.

After Aglaia defeated Umberli, although the Sword Coast no longer faced sudden dangers, there was no room for pirates to display their power.

Aglaia's combing of the offshore sea was very complete. She didn't need to spend a lot of money to bribe the sea goddess's caravan. Of course, she converted all the money into weapons.

Moreover, merchants no longer have to worry about too many ships being captured by Emboli in one fell swoop. Of course, they can use dozens or even hundreds of ships to form a caravan. Pirates simply do not have the ability to deal with such a large fleet.

Therefore, the pirates on the Sword Coast must either concentrate in Luskan and fight with the native pirates there for business, or they must go to the Moon Shadow Sea to follow the command of the pirate king there.

Hill flipped through it and found that the jade ornaments were also very exquisite.

However, except for those exquisite and gorgeous jewelry, Shoulong people rarely sell ornaments to Faerûn. The An family is willing to show them to Hill, which is indeed very sincere.

Mainly, the greater significance of transparent jade to the continent of Faerûn lies in its casting materials.

Jadeite was shaped by immortals from heaven. It has a calming and calming effect. It has a high status in the Shoulong Empire.

However, this does not stop the people of Faerûn from cutting them into small pieces the size of a fingernail. Transparent jade is often used to release healing or prophecy magic, and is very scarce in Faerûn.

When the shamans on Shoulong's side use spells, they don't have much demand for jewelry and jade.

In addition to jade, this kind of jade from heaven allows witches to use the spiritual energy contained in it.

Moreover, when the spiritual energy is used up, it can be placed in a place with abundant spiritual energy to replenish it, and it can be used again after a period of time. It will not be broken into pieces at a time.

Therefore, in the Shoulong Empire, most of the jadeite was large pieces of ornaments. Those that could be used to make jewelry were actually broken jade produced by cutting the ornaments.

For example, the Emerald Mountain that Hill was staring at was really a treasure he had never seen before: a delicate and transparent black mountain range with dark green and light green trees, and white stone networks carefully carved into streams. There are even gray cliffs.

Looking at this mountain will give you a sense of leisure and contentment. This must be a masterpiece that can be made by a master carver with very artistic taste. Hill really likes it.

Then he heard An Ran's dissuasion with a hint of guilt and determination: "Mr. Bolaño... Although this Emerald Mountain is very big, if you plan to cut it into small pieces... the Treasure Building cannot takeout."

Hill was surprised and looked at An Ran, whose face was full of panic, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists: "If I wanted spell materials, wouldn't I go directly to you to buy the cut jade raw materials?

Such a beautiful piece of art, I’m not crazy, why would I feel uncomfortable with this.

I remember you sell a kind of jade square brand? "

It was a small piece about the same size as mahjong. Although the water head was not that transparent, it was still much easier to use than some low-grade jade. Many Faerun mages would carefully divide it into four parts after buying it.

An Ran suddenly relaxed and said in a weak voice: "This is the proud work of the most outstanding jade master in Zhenbao Tower. If it is destroyed, he will definitely leave the An family directly.

Because he has carried it out with his mind, he can feel whether his works still exist.

Even if our An family has some strength, we would not dare to force such a master. "

He couldn't help but add: "The main reason is that there is a precedent...the Qin family sold a snow mountain made of white jade to Lord Faerun, and until now no jade master is willing to help them."

"Suet-fat white jade?" Hill asked with a half-smile, as if he had heard this story.

"Yes, yes!" An Ran replied repeatedly, "It is said that it was cut into thousands of pieces. The master was so angry that he vomited blood after knowing it."

"That lord's stupidity... is famous even in Faerûn." Hill knew who it was, the big trash Prince Andre. "I will sell things to him. The Qin family plans to negotiate with Yueying Island." Dealing with pirates? That guy only has this role."

An Ran clapped his hands suddenly: "Ah! So that's it. No wonder the Qin family, knowing the habits of the Faerun people, still sold such good things to that lord at a fair price!

Back then, there was a boatswain of a magic ship, who seemed to be called Clawsaurus. He took some of the sailors, killed the captain and first mate, and defected directly to Faerûn, in Waterdeep City.

The dead captain is the Qin family.

They have been trying to capture him and execute him in Lingchi, but unfortunately, they have never succeeded. For some reason, Faerun doesn't like to accept this kind of business. "

Hill was silent for a few seconds before saying: "It's okay now. You can tell them that there must be adventurers in Faerun who are willing to take on this kind of business."

In the past, even the pirates and sailors who had been dealing with Amberli all year round would often overturn their ships. The guy was so moody that he might take out the ship he just paid for on a whim even though he had received money. .

Those adventurers who took the bounty simply did not have the confidence to face the crazy Embry.

An Ran didn't quite understand what Hill said, but he still nodded and kept it in mind. If it was really similar to what the Archmage said, then the Qin family would owe them a favor.
