Chapter 42: The Construction of the Trade Route

Chapter 42: Chapter 42: The Construction of the Trade Route

Inside the castle.

A grand banquet was being held.

Plates of food were being brought to the table.

And these dishes once again left Rajos stunned.

Because these foods not only included Pig Beast meat but also various Tier One and Tier Two Demon Beast meats, all of which were incredibly precious, making Rajos feel as if he was eating Gold Coins, causing him great distress.

He almost spoke several times but restrained himself.

But as the banquet came to an end, Rajos couldn’t hold back any longer.

"My friend, thank you for your hospitality, it’s truly an honor."

"However, forgive my boldness, these foods could have been sold for one or two Gold Coins. For Eagle Ridge, Gold Coins are the most important."

Rajos spoke earnestly.

"No, no, my friend!"

"Gold Coins are indeed important, but hosting friends is more important, isn’t it?"

"Besides, my friend, I think there’s something more important, something more suitable for you."

Thor looked at Rajos’s expression and listened to his words, a smile couldn’t help but form in his heart, the effect was clearly remarkable.

So he didn’t hide it anymore, but with a light smile, he spoke again.

"More important?"

Upon hearing Thor’s words, Rajos was initially unconsciously about to speak again, but at this moment his eyes widened, and his breathing grew heavier.

"Reine."

"Bring the items up!"

Seeing the heavy breathing of Rajos, Thor immediately addressed Reine beside him.

"Yes!"

Reine quickly nodded.

Soon, he jogged away.

A moment later, knights brought over several wooden boxes.

"What’s this?"

Rajos looked at the wooden boxes with a puzzled expression.

"Open them, let my friend take a look!"

Thor gestured.

Quickly, the knights opened the wooden boxes.

Following that, a patch of black appeared in everyone’s sight.

Rajos was initially stunned, then he instinctively walked forward.

"This is!"

Instinctively feeling it, his eyes widened again, his gaze instantly fell on Thor.

"Finely crafted Black Iron Armor made by goblins, even in the Frost Moon Province, its value exceeds fifteen Silver Coins. In the Northern Province, I think forty or even fifty Silver Coins wouldn’t be unreasonable."

"My friend, how about this?"

Thor spoke with a smile, the words nearly made Rajos’s heart stop.

"My friend, you must be joking."

Rajos, suppressing the tremor in his heart, glanced at the rows of Black Iron Armor, still speaking with disbelief.

"Joking!"

"No, this is no joke, I have a hundred pieces of fine Black Iron Armor that can be handed over to you!"

"Moreover, I also have a Silver Armor."

Thor shook his head and then gestured.

At his gesture, Reine quickly opened the last wooden box.

When the silver-white appeared, Rajos’s body almost couldn’t stand upright.

If the fine Black Iron Armor was enough to move him, the appearance of the Silver Armor almost made his mind go blank.

Silver Armor.

This is actual Magic Equipment and a strategic resource, something that only appears at the auction in Loren City, Northern Province, yet it was right before his eyes, and Thor even suggested it was for him.

At this moment, his mind indeed went blank.

With his discernment, he could tell at a glance that these were the finest Armors.

Whether Black Iron Armor or Silver Armor, both were the best of their kind.

Even for the Assad Family, acquiring such high-quality armor wasn’t easy, let alone transporting it to the Northern Province.

That was almost impossible.

"So, my friend."

"I once promised to help you establish your trade route; now is the time to fulfill that promise. With these, those Lords would be more than willing to purchase from you."

Thor didn’t care about the bewildered and shocked expression of Rajos, speaking with a smiling voice again.

Thor’s words.

Brought Rajos’s blank mind gradually back.

The shock in his eyes continued, but at this moment, he quickly calmed his heart.

Taking a deep breath, he looked at Thor, speaking with great seriousness.

"Honestly, this is too surprising."

"I even feel like I’m dreaming!"

"Allow me to confirm once more, are these really for me?"

His words carried a nervous tension, with unprecedented nervousness etched on his expression.

"It’s indeed true."

"However, you need to offer a reasonable price to take them away."

Thor smiled as he spoke.

The reaffirming words excited Rajos at this moment.

After briefly pondering, he spoke again.

"Of course!"

"For Black Iron Armor, I can offer thirty Silver Coins, no, fifty Silver Coins!"

"As for the Silver Armor, how about five hundred Gold Coins?"

His words were slightly hasty, a blush appearing on his face.

As Thor mentioned, once he acquires these items, he’ll undoubtedly open up the Northern Province trade route, a value that couldn’t be compared to Gold Coins.

Even at a premium, he must secure them.

But amid his excitement, Thor shook his head.

Seeing Thor shake his head, Rajos gritted his teeth, ready to offer again.

But Thor stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"My friend, you are too generous."

"But that price is too high, I won’t let my friend get a raw deal. How about this, Black Iron Armor, thirty Silver Coins per piece, I can sell you a hundred pieces; as for Silver Armor, the Habbs Commerce Association price at three hundred Gold Coins, let it be three hundred Gold Coins."

A light laugh accompanied the words.

The words spoken left Rajos stunned.

He wondered if he had misheard.

"Lord Thor, you, you!"

Instinctively he spoke, but for a moment, Rajos didn’t know what to say.

"We are friends, how could I let a friend suffer!"

"This price is just right, isn’t it?"

Thor shook his head with a smile; he certainly wasn’t foolish.

But aimed for long-term business.

In the Large Iron Ore Deposit, not to mention Silver Armor, at least Black Iron Armor would be continuously produced, completing a shear without any meaning, unlike a steady relationship.

At thirty Silver Coins per Black Iron Armor, both Rajos and he could profit greatly.

That was enough.

Furthermore, leveraging Rajos to form a complete trade route was possible.

At that time, it would indeed be the time for real gains.

Now was just the beginning, no need to rush.

"Thank you very much!"

"Indeed, we are friends!"

Rajos finally reacted, speaking with excitement, his eyes looking at Thor filled with gratitude.
