The Duke was an exception.
His vault for storing gold coins was large enough to hold 10 giant dragons swimming in the gold coins!
Li Aili: "..."
Just as a dragon scale was about to break the 100,000 gold coin mark, Conrad brought over a letter.
She successfully interrupted the two men who were playing an 'auction' at the dinner table.
"Your Highness, a letter has arrived from the North."
Arthur put down his knife and fork to quench the fire, then picked up a letter opener and cut open the envelope.
He skimmed the letter in one glance. “My dear, your next adventure may have to be postponed. We’re going to the North this afternoon.”
Li Aili: "The Northern Territory?"
The Duke clutched the letter in his hand, and when he released it, the letter had already turned to dust.
"Duke of the North, Wolf Winterwolf* (Note 1)."
Arthur exchanged a glance with Fisheranaki without making a sound.
They put down their cutlery and immediately got up to go to the study.
Before leaving, Arthur walked up to Ellie, leaned down and gently kissed her on the cheek. "Darling, see you in a bit."
Li Aili only smelled the delicate scent of marigold perfume. She absolutely loved this men's fragrance. Subconsciously, she also gave her boyfriend a quick kiss on the cheek.
Fisher-Nankey, standing at the door waiting: "..."
Li Ai Li called out to Conrad, who was preparing to arrange matters related to the Duke's trip.
She asked, "Conrad, do you know the approximate market price of dragon scales and dragon blood?"
Conrad said, "The six great empires prohibit the trade of dragon materials."
"However, on the black market, the price varies considerably depending on the type of dragon."
The most expensive red dragon scales differ from the cheapest white dragon scales by nearly ten thousand gold coins.
Conrad added thoughtfully, "12 red dragon scales cost 120,000 gold coins each, and 12 white dragon scales cost 1,200 gold coins each."
Li Aili: "...What did Bai Long do wrong?"
Conrad smiled slightly, "Probably because they're both stupid and weak. They have poor magic resistance, poor physical resistance, and low intelligence, making them easy to kill. But for adventurers, using white dragon scales is less effective than using phantom steel, so they don't fetch a good price."
Li Aili silently removed the white dragon from her life list. "What about the green dragon?"
Conrad: "Around 8800, 12 pieces."
Li Aili silently marveled at the all-powerful housekeeper.
"Okay, thank you, Conrad. And could I have a piece of parchment?"
After much deliberation, Li Aili realized that, setting aside her relationship with Alice, Fisheranki had helped her in many ways.
She also likes this friend very much. Of course, even close brothers should keep clear accounts, but while keeping clear accounts, some discounts can be given.
So she quickly drafted a transaction contract on parchment.
“Please give this to my brother-in-law.” Li Aili put down her quill and handed the parchment to Conrad.
"Yes, madam."
...
Conrad stood in front of the study on the second floor, raised his hand, and knocked on the door slowly and deliberately.
Knock, knock knock.
"Come in, Conrad."
"The lady asked me to give this to you, His Majesty Fisheranki."
Fisheranki took the parchment scroll, unfolded it, and took a look.
On the parchment scroll, in delicate handwriting, it read:
[Li Aili will sell ____ dragon scales to the Tankar Elf King, Fisheranki Tankar, at a price of 8700 gold coins per 12 scales.]
Fisher's golden eyes softened slightly. "Butler Conrad, could you please give me a quill pen? Thank you."
Without blinking, the Elf King filled in a series of zeros on the dragon scales.
Then, a sentence was added to a blank space on the parchment: "The Elf King Tankar will dispatch a group of exceptionally skilled elven craftsmen to serve Li Aili for life, free of charge."
