43: Sell ​​the goods to parents

It could be said that they were extremely concerned about Arthur!

Arthur was also taken aback by their concern, and after understanding, he felt even more that he hadn't done anything wrong.

He quickly explained:

"Of course, they won't blame me. The quota they gave me is for me to use.

The organization won't care who I buy for! Don't worry, I won't cheat myself!"

"That's good!"

Hearing this, the old couple nodded in relief, then asked curiously:

"What are the three items you can purchase on their behalf now? How many can you buy, and what are the prices?"

Arthur certainly couldn't buy anything too precious or unique for his parents; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to sell it. After a brief thought, he said:

"The items I can purchase on your behalf are the gale repeating crossbow, obsidian, and flour made from high-quality wheat!

Of these, the gale repeating crossbow, which is the magic crossbow I used in Northern Bulwark City, I can still buy 20,000 more, at a price of one thousand gold coins each.

Its matching crossbow bolts are divided into ordinary iron bolts and special armor-piercing bolts, priced at two gold coins for one hundred and two gold coins for ten, respectively. The purchase limit for both is five million bolts.

obsidian, a hard stone that can withstand an Earth Knight's attack if it's ten centimeters thick, I can still buy 100,000 cubic meters, at a price of twenty gold coins per cubic meter. You can choose the thickness and size.

Flour made from high-quality wheat comes in fifty-jin bags. I can still buy 100,000 tons, at a price of ten silver coins per bag."

For the three items above, the prices Arthur quoted were double what they were in the Portable Shop, but even so, they were still five times cheaper than the prices in the Kate Kingdom.

Although Arthur made some profit, The Count and Countess also made a huge profit.

Actually, Arthur could have sold the items to The Count and Countess at their original price, but he thought that if the items were too cheap, it would scare them.

Also, Arthur himself was in great need of gold coins, so he ultimately quoted these prices.

On the other side, Abergh and Charlotte had guessed that the prices in that mysterious organization would be relatively cheap.

But when Arthur actually stated the prices, the two quickly calculated and found that they were at least five times cheaper than the prices in the Kingdom. Such a huge price difference left them dumbfounded.

They couldn't help but ask a Soul-searching question:

"With such cheap prices, do the people in your organization not make any money?"

Arthur thought for a moment and replied:

"Because we need to help each other, it's only a little more expensive than the cost price.

And their costs should also be lower than we imagine!"

"That's the only way it could be!"

Regarding Arthur's explanation, the two thought about it and indeed, this was the only possibility.

Seeing that the two had accepted the astonishing prices, Arthur continued to ask:

"How about it? How much of each of these three items do you want to buy?"

Hearing this, Abergh and Charlotte exchanged glances. Such cheap items, of course, they wanted all of them.

After all, these three items were very practical, and selling them would also bring a large profit.

However, these profits should have originally gone to Arthur. If they bought everything now, Arthur wouldn't have anything left to buy.

Abergh thought for a moment and said:

"You must know that these items can fetch a large sum of money with just a little resale!

So I've decided that we will buy the items, but we will pay double the price, so Arthur, you can also profit!"

Hearing this, Arthur knew their concerns, but he was already making a profit, so he firmly disagreed with raising the price again.

However, The Count and Countess were even more resolute than Arthur, saying that if Arthur didn't raise the price, they wouldn't buy.

Arthur was left with no choice. Thinking that even doubling the price again would only be forty percent of the market price, and Abergh and Charlotte would still make a good profit, he reluctantly agreed to their request to double the price again.

Thus, Abergh and Charlotte nodded in satisfaction and then began to state the items they wanted to purchase.

Abergh and Charlotte had saved nearly twenty-one million gold coins over the years, so their purchase volume this time was quite large.

First, 100,000 tons of flour made from high-quality wheat. At the newly agreed price of twenty silver coins per bag, the total purchase would only cost eight hundred thousand gold coins.

This amount is enough to feed over a million people for a year.

Next, 100,000 cubic meters of obsidian. At the newly agreed price of forty gold coins per cubic meter, the total purchase would be four million gold coins.

After that was the most expensive item, the gale repeating crossbow. As a weapon for attack, Count Abergh did not want to resell this item to other lords, as that would only bring greater threats to himself.

Coupled with insufficient funds, he only planned to purchase five thousand gale repeating crossbows for his own use.

He would buy two million ordinary crossbow bolts and one hundred thousand armor-piercing ones.

According to the latest agreed prices, they were two thousand gold coins per crossbow, four gold coins for one hundred ordinary bolts, and four gold coins for ten armor-piercing bolts, respectively.

So, the gale repeating crossbows and bolts cost a total of ten million and fourteen thousand gold coins.

In total, Abergh and Charlotte would spend a total of fourteen million nine hundred and forty thousand gold coins on the three items.

Arthur would earn eleven million two hundred and five thousand gold coins from this.

It could be said that he earned another Sky Knight powerhouse.

And while Charlotte and Abergh strengthened their own power, they could also earn nearly three million gold coins by selling obsidian and wheat flour.

It's important to know that the Counts Fief's annual tax revenue was only a little over two million gold coins, so earning this much money was not a small sum.

Moreover, this was just the first time. In a few months, Arthur could tell the old couple that he had permission to buy things again.

This way, Charlotte and Abergh could continue to make money!

It is imaginable that The Count and Countess could later earn tens of millions of gold coins through Arthur, which would also rapidly strengthen the Counts Fief, and the smiles on the old couple's faces would increase.

After calculating the funds, Abergh and Charlotte, with great trust, handed over the more than fourteen million gold coins to Arthur first.

Arthur didn't waste words, directly guaranteeing that the items would arrive within a week.

After the three chatted for a long time, Arthur returned to his private room in the castle.

It was already dusk when Arthur arrived at Mad Lion City today. Due to the prolonged conversation with Abergh, it was now nighttime.

The task of visiting the Marquiss Mansion envoy could only be postponed until tomorrow.

Back in his room, Arthur pondered his conversation with his parents today, felt there were no issues, and then finally relaxed.

Although Arthur and Karona's relationship had been confirmed, this was still his parents' castle, and the two couldn't be too intimate, so Arthur was alone in his room at the moment.

At this time, Arthur recalled that he had one more thing to do on this return to the Kingdom: to find out the murderer who had assassinated him a few months ago, causing the original owner's death.

Arthur already had a suspect in mind: the Earl of the Thistle Flower Fief.

As for the manpower for investigation, Arthur, who now had over twenty million gold coins, planned to purchase another Sky Knight powerhouse.
