Caesar went up, and immediately smelled the pungent taste of garlic and pepper, and the intoxicating smell of sweet perfume. He followed the direction of the little boy''s eyes. The guard of the caravan was wearing a red brass helmet and lined with linen and cotton linen short clothes, standing on both sides, and the slaves were carrying heavy brocade and dozens of colors of high-grade wool for their selection.
The black dragon glanced at the flag and emblem hanging on one side and found that he had an impression of this caravan - bukric in the north, which was one of the few caravans that had started cross-sea trade when the situation in vilost was not stable. With the wealth gained through cross-border trade, this caravan began to form its own armed forces and expand its scale.
According to official records, bukrich owned more than 20 frigates of the previous generation eliminated by the Empire and a large number of privateers, and was in a semi monopoly state in the folk cross sea trade industry. However, because the caravan was low-key and obedient enough and paid enough fees (protection fees), the black wing Empire did not start to clean up these guys, While maintaining supervision, they were allowed to grow savagely on the battlefield of vilost.
When accompanying Luna on a trip, Caesar kept an ordinary dragon man shape and pushed forward with the little guy. Between the continuous stalls in bukritch, a young businessman was selling jewelry made by velostekin, including rings, brooches, bracelets, various uncut medals and other strange materials.
The young businessman was tied with a veloste native who was silent and hairless. Sweat penetrated his fur clothes. He bared his teeth and glared at everyone close to him. Right next to him, a buyer was arguing with the cloth merchant about the price of some foreign dye.
"I like playing in this street best." Luna pulled Caesar forward and said to him, "there are people everywhere, shouting and laughing. In fact, I often don''t buy anything... Well, except occasionally buying a sausage, honey stick, barbecue or nuts... Let me see what''s new here."
"Jewelry made by velostkin."
They walked in a little and heard the jewelry merchant shouting in fluent common language: "I have the gold jewelry used by the chiefs of the lisling, piccado and ferret tribes, as well as necklaces, armbands, rings and headbands. Take a look and make sure it is different from the gold of ayladia."
The jeweler was small, thin and kind, and his dark brown hair was combed in the North fashion, perfume was in the hot roll, and the fashionable black claws were on his chest. When Caesar and Lorna stopped in front of him, the merchant bowed deeply: "what are you looking for, the noble dragon people and the young noble ladies?"
"You say that the gold in velostkin is different from that in our place, really? Why?" Luna asked curiously.
"Of course it''s true."
Merchant smile: "Veloste gold is better than ours. It''s heavier and shiny. It looks a bit like platinum, but it''s actually more transparent than platinum. It''s said that when veloste was in, the gold was as soft as flowing liquid. It gradually became hard on the way back from the caravan. After arriving in the North, bukrich invited the best craftsman to make the gold jewelry that appeared in the. When However, I''m not saying that other craftsmen can''t do it, but this material is really rare in ayladia. You can have a look. "
Luna then turned her attention to those gold jewelry. These gold jewelry are really different. They are different from the Aladia jewelry she has seen before. In the sun, they are transparent, almost crystal, and only the central part is golden.
Luna picked up a simple Polished Pendant and secretly said to the black dragon, "Caesar, look at this. It''s very similar to your eyes."
The pendant is oval and its center is almond shaped. Strands of gold diffuse around like fog, like ink color haloing in the water.
Caesar looked and couldn''t help smiling: "how do you sell this pendant?"
"Six hundred gold."
"So expensive?" Luna was startled. Although she was in the royal court, she still had a certain concept of money. After listening, she looked carefully.
"I won''t lie to you. We didn''t grind this pendant. It''s just like this in the hands of the veloste aborigines. The later identified Master said that its material is the best in this batch of goods. The core inside is completely natural, complete and beautiful. In addition to it, if you want to buy such a thing, you''re afraid it''s hard to have money." the merchant explained by pointing to the gold kernel with the size of corn.
"Caesar, can I buy it?" Luna whispered. "I want to leave it to Odin."
Caesar just wanted to promise, thought about it, and suddenly asked, "can I exchange black wing coupons?"
Young businessmen were stunned. The black wing coupons sold by Imperial Bank were very popular in the Empire and even in the whole North. Their bukrich firm also helped people exchange black wing coupons. Many people exchanged Black Wing coupons for gold coins, but few people directly used black wing coupons for shopping and consumption. It may be that the king of the northern empire can do so.
After a short consideration, the merchant agreed with a smile.
After he bought the pendant and handed it to Luna, Caesar did not leave immediately. The dragon''s innate treasure appreciation intuition drove him to continue to linger. The black dragon sniffed and walked in front of those exquisite gold ornaments. The afternoon sun shone in the floating dust and looked gentle and lazy. He left the display area of finished gold ornaments and cast a translucent round shadow on the light yellow gold and stone.
"Sir, in order to meet the needs of personal preferences, we have reserved many unpolished materials for selection. Are you interested in these?" the young businessman followed him.
Caesar shook his head and continued to discriminate. In the process of scanning his eyes, he found something to attract himself in an insignificant corner.
He pointed to an irregular black stone like jade and said, "it looks good. Can you show it to me?"
"This?" the young businessman smiled and took the black stone: "although I threw it in the corner, it was very attractive. Before you, many powerful guests took the initiative to ask to see it and determined that it was expensive, but in the end, no one started."
"Why?" asked Caesar.
"This is something directly brought back from vilost. The value of it is nothing more than its light weight and hard texture. However, it will directly break under too much force and cannot be melted and cast, so it can not be shaped." the merchant said: "after understanding, you will find that this thing is of no practical use."
"Unable to melt and shape? Are you sure?"
"I''m a stall keeper. I can''t be sure. This is the official statement of the imperial Institute. Many magician associations also study it. Finally, everyone''s statement is basically the same." the merchant handed the black stone with both hands: "this is my gift to you. If you''re interested, you can take it back."
"You have a lot of this?" Caesar looked and asked.
"That''s not true. It''s something from the vilost indigenous tribe. At first, most of it was taken away by the Empire. Now the research institute has proved that it''s really useless. After the control has been liberalized a lot, we bukric have a chance to get some."
"HMM." Caesar nodded and led Luna away from Xicheng District. After all, what the businessman knew was limited. I have to ask the goblins of the research institute later.
