Chapter 346 A large wave of solar thunder is coming
Rivigaz took out a piece of bright yellow stone the size of a human head and presented it with both hands. The stone skin outside the jade had been polished off.
Clown looked at the jade that appeared in his empty hands and knew that the other party must also have space-related equipment.
He took the jade and asked, "The Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce is also very famous on the mainland. Do you sell space equipment?"
Now the space ring in his hand nominally belongs to the church, but the space inside can no longer meet his growing needs.
"To manufacture space equipment, you need a special spiritual object. This spiritual object is very rare. In addition, this spiritual object has a certain lifespan, which can be as short as 30 to 50 years or as long as 200 to 300 years. Therefore, space equipment has always been in short supply."
The person who spoke was the young man next to Rivergaz. He had a gentle smile on his face and brilliant curly blond hair.
"Haha, I was so excited just now that I didn't have time to introduce him to you. This is my friend, Levix Reinhardt. I have known him for more than 20 years.
Levix heard that you are a master forger, and would like to ask you to forge a soul-infused weapon. I would like to see if you have time."
Rivegaz introduced his friend and waited for what was to come.
His original plan was to bring up the matter in a few days, but he accidentally learned from the butler that Crown would be busy recently, so he just said it directly.
If the other party really can't spare the time, they can also arrange to do other things.
Crown placed the jade on the table, pointed at Eliza and said, "This is my fiancée Eliza."
He nodded to Levix: "The Reinhardt family, the hereditary Duke of Lionheart, I have long admired you."
The Reinhardt family's blood breathing method is very famous on the mainland. It is said that the more serious the injury, the more it can stimulate combat effectiveness. Clown was deeply impressed.
He once wondered if it would be particularly effective if he injured himself before a battle.
But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that this rumor was nonsense.
"Lord Crown's reputation has spread throughout the continent, and he is our role model," Levix hurriedly offered his compliments.
"Your Excellency is actually engaged?" Rivigaz was even more surprised. He quickly looked at Eliza and wondered which big family this lady was from to have such luck to be favored by a fifth-level extraordinary person.
After a round of business exaggeration, Crown picked up the bright yellow stone and examined it carefully. He walked outside and examined the jade carefully in the sun, then said with satisfaction:
"The quality of the goods this time is indeed good. What about the price?"
Such a large piece of jade has only a few impurities, all concentrated on the edges of the jade. He estimated that he could make seven or eight high-quality jade talismans.
"Just like last time, yeah."
Rivegaz hesitated for two or three seconds before speaking again:
"Sir, how much of this cargo do you need?"
Utensils made of bright yellow stone are considered a luxury, but not many people need them. A large amount of bright yellow stone has been excavated from the Chamber of Commerce’s mines. If these goods are allowed to enter the market, it is bound to impact the price.
But if you are reluctant to sell it, I don’t know how many years it will take to sell it.
The other party once talked about a purchase, but there were so many goods that I didn’t know how much they could take.
Clown heard the implication of his words and raised his eyebrows and asked, "How many do you have?"
"A lot," Rivigaz smiled innocently, "This time I came to Hamers City, I brought a full 500 pounds, all of this quality, and there are still a lot in the mines."
"Haha," Clown laughed enviously. He understood that the other party might have found a jade mine.
“If you can guarantee that all the traded items are jade of this specification and quality, I can buy them, but I will give you some jade of ordinary quality as a gift.
But, at this price.”
The larger the quantity, the better the discount. If the other party does not make concessions, he will not be willing to do so.
He is probably the only one in the entire continent who has an urgent need for this kind of goods, and others just want it as a decoration.
"I want to confirm with you, sir, how much you can eat," Revigaz looked at him with burning eyes, his two small eyes shining on his chubby round face.
"Long-term, large quantities are needed, it mainly depends on the quality of your goods."
Hearing the definite answer, Livigaz was relieved. "If you can buy for a long time, we can provide you with the same weight of ordinary quality bright yellow stone. The price is three gold spirit coins per pound. What do you think?"
The shipment volume of Minghuangshi is not large, and it is mainly sold for its freshness. If a long-term cooperative relationship can be established, it will be a great benefit to the Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.
He did not set a firm price, giving the other party room to bargain. The first fifth-order transcendent on the continent still deserves respect and must be respected.
Clown said calmly, "As far as I know, you don't have any long-term partners for this kind of jade."
What he meant was that I helped you clear your inventory and exchanged the less useful goods for gold spirit coins, so the price had to be reduced! Of course, Rivigaz understood what he meant and said with a smile, "How about this, we will give you 1.5 times the weight of ordinary quality bright yellow stone, and keep the price the same, what do you think?"
There is not much use for the extra ordinary quality stones, so it is good to give them away as gifts.
Now that I have high-quality jade, ordinary jade will be of no use to me. Crown did not speak, but glanced at the butler standing beside him. The bargaining should be left to professionals.
William nodded slightly, took a half step forward, and said:
"First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Rivergaz for taking care of us, but I think the purchase price of Minghuangshi is too high."
The two of them negotiated back and forth, and finally settled on the price of two gold spirit coins per pound, which was accompanied by twice the weight of ordinary jade.
After agreeing on the price, William retreated behind Crown again. Rivigaz smiled and said, "I admire Mr. William's bargaining ability."
William smiled back: "I admire you very much, too. We can discuss the transaction of other goods later. I think our transaction should be normalized."
The matter of ordinary cargo trading is a trivial matter, and Crown does not need to be involved in these trivial matters.
"Okay," Rivigaz nodded, leaning forward and said nervously, "Sir, I wonder if you can spare the time to forge the soul-infused weapons. We have prepared all the materials, and we have also provided the weapon blueprints.
We have prepared a lot of materials, and we won’t be able to use any extra materials. As for the cost, you can set it up.”
Clown stretched out his hand: "Show me the forging drawings."
With his current abilities, forging a soul-infused weapon wouldn't take too much time, so there was no reason for him to refuse the Golden Spirit Coins that were delivered to his doorstep.
Another very important point is that the forging skills have not been developed to the extreme.
If your skills have not reached the highest level, it's like a player who is pursuing achievements in playing games. When you find that you are only one achievement away from unlocking a series title, you will always feel a little worried.
Rivergaz's face lit up with joy, and he immediately handed the blueprint to him with both hands. If the other party was willing to take a look, there was a high probability that the matter would be done.
Crown took the blueprint and asked in surprise, "Two?"
It is not easy to obtain usable spirits, but the other party was able to get two, which is not easy.
"One of them is mine," Rivigaz thought that Crown was embarrassed and quickly added:
"Is it taking up too much of your time? We are not in a hurry. You can build it slowly."
There are very few blacksmiths at the master level in the entire continent. He has visited all of them, but the two weapons have very demanding requirements, and those master craftsmen have said that they are not absolutely sure of successfully forging them, so he has been hesitating.
Materials are not easy to obtain, and in case of failure, the loss is more than just money.
Crown shook his head slightly. He carefully examined the blueprint, calculated the materials needed in his mind, and compared them with the materials provided by the other party.
He found that if the crafting went smoothly, he could obtain a lot of high-end materials, such as mithril, adamantium, and thorium. The other party had prepared 1.5 times the quantity of these rare metals, showing great sincerity.
Placing the blueprint on the table beside him, Crown said gently:
"The forging fee is 1,200 gold spirit coins per blade. I can guarantee success. The construction period is three months."
The butler has collected the fees of other master craftsmen, which are generally between eight hundred and one thousand gold spirit coins. His prices are on the high side, but he can guarantee the success rate, so the price can be said to be quite affordable.
In two months, he would need to go to the Vatican to attend a meeting, so he set the construction period at three months, leaving plenty of time.
If he worked hard, he could finish the work in seven or eight days at most. However, if he could finish the work in such a short time, how could the other craftsmen put their faces? Although he didn't care about the possible hatred of these craftsmen, it was a bit stupid to do such a thing without any benefits.
"The price is reasonable and the construction period is also fine," Rivigaz thought it was good. He turned around and asked his companion, "What do you think?"
"Isn't there enough time? Although I also want to get the weapon as soon as possible, I don't mind waiting a few more days."
Levix said considerately that other master craftsmen estimated that it would take about two months to create a soul-infused weapon, but now the other party had completed two weapons in three months. He was worried that the other party's processing might be a bit rough in some places.
The master craftsmen are professional blacksmiths, and it still takes such a long time for them to forge it with all their strength. The other party is also a church bishop, and he must have a lot of things to deal with. Such a short time makes him feel uneasy.
Clown showed a confident smile and said firmly: "Three months is enough."
Livigaz said happily: "Sir Klauen is not only a master craftsman, but also a fifth-level extraordinary person. It is normal that his efficiency far exceeds that of other master craftsmen!"
After saying this, he stood up and bowed solemnly: "Thank you, sir. May you have smooth sailing in the strong winds and may the thunder and rain make way for you."
Levix also stood up immediately and echoed:
"May you travel freely in the strong winds, and may the thunder and rain make way for you."
"You're welcome. If you have any more orders like this, please come to me."
"Haha, no problem. Your Excellency, I also brought two barrels of Storm Liquor brewed from Golden Hops this time. I will send it to you once the goods are sorted out."
Crown showed a savoring expression and happily accepted the other party's kindness: "Thank you."
Several people started chatting and the atmosphere was harmonious.
At this moment, Billy walked into the living room and whispered to Crown, "Sir, Lady Audrey and the others have arrived and are waiting in the side hall. She also wants to meet the guests from the Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce. She said she is an acquaintance of Lady Rivegaz."
Billy's voice was not loud, but those present were at least third-level transcendents and heard it clearly. Crown turned his gaze to Rivergaz.
"Audrey?"
Rivegaz silently recited the name. The only person he knew with this name was someone in the Kingdom of Budamia.
"If you are referring to Her Excellency Audrey McLean, we are indeed acquaintances."
He began to wonder why the other party appeared in the city of Hamers in the Farouk Kingdom. You know, the Farouk Kingdom is surrounded by ice and snow for four or five months every year.
In southern countries, it has always been synonymous with barbarism and backwardness, and few nobles from southern countries are willing to come to this cold place.
Crown nodded to Billy, who understood and left quickly.
When Audrey stepped into the living room, she immediately smiled and said, "I never thought I would meet Mr. Rivergaz here. I just happened to need a batch of high-quality goods. Don't you think it's a coincidence?"
"It is an honor for Good Luck Gold Coin to serve the beautiful lady. I am curious why you would come to this small place instead of enjoying the good life in the Kingdom of Budamia."
“This is not a small place.”
"Haha, that's right. How can a place with Lord Crown here be considered a small place? I wonder what kind of goods Lord Crown needs."
Audrey took out a few pages of paper and handed them out:
"Those marked with red lines above are relatively scarce in Rhine City and cannot meet our needs."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Are you going to build a small city here?" asked Rivergaz in surprise.
Audrey smiled and nodded. She winked at Eliza and said:
"Yes, I plan to build a castle near Hamers, and the McLean family is going to establish a family branch here."
"Oh" Rivergaz immediately understood that Eliza's surname also turned out to be McLean. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the McLean family, one of the top families on the continent, would establish a family branch near this small city.
Crown was not keen on discussing the details of the deal, saying:
"It's almost dinner time, please stay here and eat. Rivigaz, I want to take a look at the goods first. The gold spirit coins needed can be deducted from the forging fee."
The warm jade being traded involved the making of the Sun Thunder Seal, and he had to look it over once before he would feel at ease.
"Okay, the goods should have been delivered. Let's go inspect them now."
Two months later.
It was already late at night, and the city of Hamers was shrouded in gray fog.
The thick fog kept rolling, as if there was something evil hidden inside.
Crown was meditating on the Golden Light Spell, while Arcturus lay beside his master, meditating in the most comfortable posture.
The Northern Giant Bear's size is already close to that of an adult giant bear. With Crown's unstinting feeding, it has reached the level of a second-order extraordinary creature, an advancement it completed three days ago.
The golden light Tao seed that was originally intended for Eliza was given to Fanny by Clown. He thought that he should be able to obtain a new Tao seed when he got married.
After testing, he found that the higher the extraordinary level of the Dao Seed holder, the more proficiency he could gain.
In addition, the acquisition of proficiency is also related to the level of the Golden Light Mantra that these people have mastered.
These Tao seed holders have visualized the Golden Light Mantra with him, and with his blessing, the Golden Light Mantra abilities of these people (beast trainers) have reached the fourth level.
Now, Crown's Golden Light Spell can gain an additional 800 points of proficiency every day, of which Flanders supplies about 300 points.
In the room, his body was lit up by the bright moonlight, and the ground seemed to be illuminated by the moonlight before the gray fog descended.
After a while, the bright moon disappeared, and warm golden light illuminated the room. Crown ended his visualization and summoned a golden wall.
[Golden Light Mantra: 152367/300000; Level 4]
[Breath of Flame Dragon: 72875/120000; Level 1]
[Healing Wind: 465/8000; Level 3] (Quickly heals moderate injuries, and also has a certain effect on severe injuries. Due to your special physique, the life energy consumed to heal your own injuries is halved, and the recovery effect is increased by 50%.) [Flying Magic: 12852/50000; Level 4]
These four skills were the ones he practiced every day. The Golden Light Curse and Breath of Fire Dragon were closely related to combat ability, and he had never slacked off.
Most of our energy every day is spent on these two abilities.
The effect of the third-level Healing Wind is comparable to the effects of related sacred arts cast by priests who specialize in healing spells, and is even more effective when cast on oneself.
His flying skill had been improved to the fourth level, and his speed when flying at full speed was 50% higher than that at the third level. He could now fly 500 kilometers per hour, which was comparable to the speed of some small passenger planes in his previous life.
In addition, his alchemy skills had also improved to a certain extent, as he would refine some mithril every two days.
Except for my sister's family and the giant bear of the north, all Dao Seed holders have reached the third level. If they want to advance to the silver level in the future, there will be a huge gap in mithril.
Just to gain more proficiency, he also has to give them some mithril.
The Dao Seed holders worked hard to visualize and obtain materials and create talismans, and all the gold spirit coins they received had to be spent here.
According to his observation, Fanny, Nick and Leah will advance in about half a year.
The Good Luck Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce agreed with him to trade once every three months, and each time they could provide about 500 pounds of high-quality warm jade.
The number of Sun Thunder Seals in his hand now reaches thirty-two, and these are jade talismans that can be kept for a long time.
If he were to fight with a fifth-level transcendent, he felt that he could kill the opponent with just the Sun Thunder Seal.
In addition, he still had forty blank jade talismans in his hand, but as he did not have enough solar essence, he must have turned them all into solar thunder seals.
Nick's exploration team did not gain anything and did not find any cold jade veins.
Crown smiled contentedly and began to rest.
Tomorrow, he and Flanders will go to the Vatican to attend a meeting.
The sky is clear and the airship is floating in the clouds.
Crown and Flanders sat opposite each other and tasted the wine together.
Flanders drank the white wine in the glass and said with a smile: "I found that I gained a special energy through visualization. This energy can be integrated into the holy power to provide me with more explosive power.
I feel that I am now able to deal with three of myself from two months ago. Your bloodline power is really enviable."
He now fully understood how powerful Klauen was. It was not incomprehensible that someone with this bloodline could easily kill two level five soul-eating jellyfish.
The only regret was that he didn't understand what kind of ability the other party used at the time, and didn't know whether it was related to the Golden Light Curse.
If so, he would really like to learn it.
The Archbishop filled his glass and continued:
“I can now confirm that your bloodline is definitely a mutant bloodline.
If a similar bloodline had ever appeared in history, it would have left a glorious record and would not have remained unknown. "
He realized that the source of his life was growing at an extremely fast speed, but in his understanding, it was difficult to grow the source of his life.
If the origin of life grows to a certain extent, it will be much easier for him to advance to the fifth level.
At this stage, whether it is the various churches of gods or the top families on the continent, it seems that there is only one fifth-level extraordinary person on the opposite side.
Klauen nodded imperceptibly, secretly praising him in his heart: "Thank you for your imagination."
He took a sip of his wine and smiled, "How long do you think this meeting will last?"
For him, it is better to gain more experience instead of attending meetings and chatting.
He has no desire for power, and a carefree life is most suitable for him.
"As long as you make it clear that you will not participate in the competition for the Pope, the meeting should be over soon."
Flanders thought for a while and then said, "I expect it will be over in five or six days."
Without power struggles, discussions in meetings go much more smoothly.
Now there are undercurrents in the Farouk Kingdom. The Saxon family wants to regain its glory, and conflicts between the southern nobles and the church begin to increase.
Some time ago, the Saxon family actually sent envoys to contact him secretly, offering him a large sum of money to vote against Clown's promotion to Archbishop.
When the messenger stated this condition, he gladly accepted the gift - three thousand gold spirit coins.
Now, he wanted to smile when he thought of the messenger's ecstatic expression.
This is like pie falling from the sky. It can be said that he got so many gold spirit coins for free without paying anything.
Clown nodded slightly and said:
"I think so too. The Holy See has recently seen two consecutive disappearances of Silver-rank transcendents. What do you think?"
The city of Bray, the seat of the Church of the Lord of Fire, was in uproar because of the terrible incident that occurred there and the murderer has not been found yet.
It is said that due to concerns about the safety of the city, more and more nobles moved their families to the southern provinces.
Flanders became serious, his eyebrows knitted together, and he said in a deep voice:
"I think this matter is suspicious. After something like this happens, the church should get involved immediately and find the murderer, but Osman's attitude is very ambiguous. He did not make any comments and did not stop the spread of the matter. I don't understand what the Pope is thinking."
Based on his understanding of the Pope, he should work hard to maintain the reputation of the church, but now he is doing nothing, which really makes him confused.
Clown was not interested in whether there was any hidden secret in the case. He laid it out indifferently and said, "I think there is an exchange of interests involved here, otherwise the Pope would not agree to do this."
