Chapter 98 Transaction (Part 2)
In this quiet atmosphere, Pekara's confidence gradually changed from full at the beginning to a little hesitant.
After a moment, when Claire 'pried' open the fourth shell, Avis finally smiled and nodded.
"I can work with you, Pecora."
But when the girl just breathed a sigh of relief and had not yet shown any excitement, Avis suddenly changed the subject, "But I will not sign any contract with you, just a verbal agreement, can you accept it?"
In this world where magic is everywhere, signing a contract means leaving a trace.
Although he attached great importance to the resources of the White Rose Chamber of Commerce, as a descendant of a noble family, he reached a cooperation agreement with a chamber of commerce in private. This kind of thing could not be made public after all, so it was better not to leave any handle.
Pekara was stunned for a moment, pursed her pink lips slightly, and a hint of hesitation appeared on her cute little face.
But she soon figured out Avis's purpose, bit her little canine teeth secretly, and nodded vigorously.
"Sure, I believe in your promise."
She remembered what her mother told her before she left: find a way to get in touch with a true descendant of a noble family.
Regardless of whether Avis finally keeps his promise, using the Chamber of Commerce's resources to gain Avis' favor is indeed the best option for her at this moment.
Although she currently has the right to freely mobilize some resources, those are the resources of the Kromir Chamber of Commerce, her father's, who is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, not hers and her mother's.
Looking at the girl's performance, Avis smiled gently, picked up the clear goblet filled with azure juice, reflecting the flickering light blue candlelight in the glass, and gestured to Pekkala.
"Well, happy cooperation—"
"Well, happy cooperation!"
After making up her mind, Pekara relaxed instead. When she heard Avis' words, she also raised her glass with a smile.
Claire, who was sitting next to the two of them, couldn't help but be stunned when she saw a cooperation involving tens of millions of gold coins being concluded in front of her eyes.
Even though she didn't usually care much about money, she was shocked by the huge amount of money involved in this cooperation.
"Very good. Now, I have something that requires the help of the White Rose Chamber of Commerce."
After making the decision, Avis spoke directly and prepared to call upon the resources that were delivered to his doorstep.
"Um, do you need me to step aside for a moment?"
Without waiting for Pekara to answer, Claire suddenly spoke softly and interrupted.
Listening to their conversation, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable sitting here.
"It's okay, Senior Claire. This is not something that needs to be kept secret."
With his hands in pure white gloves spread out on the table, Avis smiled elegantly at Claire, trying to comfort the half-elf girl who was shocked by the huge amount of gold coins involved in their conversation.
What the girl didn't know was that her own value in Avis' heart was even higher than the entire White Rose Chamber of Commerce alliance put together.
"How much do you know about 'Cursed Ore'?"
"Cursed ore?"
Pekara was stunned for a moment, searching the information in her mind carefully, and soon she nodded in understanding.
"I remember that the stone was produced in the cursed land and had a strange force field that caused miners and ordinary people living near the mines to suffer from various strange deformities.
Cursed ore can be refined into cursed metals. Like the evil metals, cursed metals are also divided into many types. Some types have higher curse field strength, while others have lower.
However, most cursed metals are low-level materials, and only a few types can reach high levels."
After Pecora finished speaking, Claire beside her added a sentence.
“In the occult, there is a special alchemy that can utilize large amounts of cursed ores to permanently transform ordinary metals into pure gold.
However, since the value of the cursed ore consumed by casting the spell far exceeds the value of the gold converted, no one will actually use this spell to obtain gold. "
"Yes, that's it."
Avis nodded slightly, confirming what the two said, then he turned to Pekkala and told her what he needed.
"I need all the cursed ore samples from all the cursed lands that the White Rose Chamber of Commerce can acquire, as well as the specific locations of these cursed lands—"
"All types of ore samples and the location of the cursed land?"
Pekara was stunned for a moment, and her mind was immediately full of thoughts.
Ore samples and the location of the mine are needed, which obviously means they are looking for a specific source of cursed ore.
What does Avis need so many cursed ores for? Is this some kind of test for me? Will he decide whether to deepen cooperation with me based on the results of my acquisition? The girl's mind raced, and she didn't raise any questions, but nodded quickly.
"Okay, I'll arrange it all within three days."
She quickly calculated in her mind that as far as she knew, there were seventeen cursed places directly controlled by the Kromir Chamber of Commerce.
Among them, the seven large cursed lands produce low-level black bitumen, yellow trace ore, etc., while the ten small ones produce mid-level black edge ore, blood curse ore and high-level green crystal.
Pekara knew the locations of forty or fifty mines that belonged to other chambers of commerce in the alliance, as well as those that simply sold cursed ore to the alliance.
Although there are several high-level cursed lands, cursed ore is not a rare and expensive resource.
On the contrary, due to its extremely rare use, even high-level cursed ore is not expensive among ores of the same level.
Pecora didn't know what Avis was going to do with them, but she didn't care.
The girl has made a decision. She will mobilize all the resources at her disposal to search the cursed land, including several high-level mining areas secretly controlled by her family, to provide Avis with as many samples as possible.
And wrote a letter to her father, explaining the whole story.
Even if the family's cursed land may change hands later, it would not matter.
In her opinion, it was totally worth it to use some cursed lands that were not of much value to gain a relationship with Avis.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
Avis nodded. Unlike the many ideas that Pekara had in her mind, his purpose was actually very simple.
——He wants to control the source of these so-called cursed ores, which are actually suspected radioactive ores, to the greatest extent possible.
The reason is very simple: the players are really good at causing trouble.
If you don't control these, when the server is officially launched in the future, with the help of magic, they will even dare to create Big Ivan for you with their bare hands!
Avis doesn't want a few players who don't care about money to suddenly appear and do art everywhere with mushroom bombs tied to their bodies.
That's all the empire's territory, rounded off to approximately equal his.
Players who are not afraid of death can equip Big Ivan and truly become the fourth calamity! (End of this chapter)
