Seeing that Rex did not stop him from spouting nonsense, Salin felt reassured. He said to Felide, "Captain, since you often visit Qin Yin, you should know about the Clyde Family, right?"
"Yes, but your surname is Metatlin." Not only did Felide know about the Clyde Family, he also knew the rules of the merchant families in Qin Yin. Outsiders would never be promoted to the upper echelons. A hundred sets of magic armor were worth more than a castle. If Salin continued spouting nonsense, Felide was not going to listen to him anymore.
Felide stroked his beard with his fingers and only sneered.
Salin took his hand out of his sleeve. There was already a badge in his hand. "You must know this."
Felide's expression softened. The badge in Salin's hand was silver, with the symbol of the Clyde Family in the center. It was not that it could not be forged, but the price was too high.
The front of the badge was gold, and the back was dark green. It was made of two different metals. When he left Holy Rock City, the Clyde Family had sent him this badge for future transactions. However, after Salin left Holy Rock City, he did not have the chance to return to Bitterwater Commandery. What he wanted to do for Rex was delayed.
"The business between me and the Clyde Family is very big. I will take over fifteen percent of the goods that they cannot handle. This batch of armor was obtained from Jialoulan. I was going to use it for myself. However, I have better alchemists with me. Using them to trade for your Coiled Turtle is not a loss for either of us. Even if you bring this Coiled Turtle back to the Wind God Nation, you won't be able to make a hundred sets of good armor, right? "
Salin's words were very boastful. Unless he was truly in charge of the arms trade in Bitterwater Commandery, he would not be able to have such a large share of the Clyde Family, even if it was the underground trade. However, he had a good grasp of people's hearts. If he did not boast, this guy with the mustache would not believe him.
Although Felide often traveled between Qin Yin and the Wind God Nation, he did not have any intelligence network in Qin Yin. All his information was bought from the Guild of Professionals. He had a certain understanding of the situation on the continent, but not as much as Salin.
Jialoulan was fighting, the nobles on the frontlines were overcautious, and the Church had paid a heavy price to kill Emperor Chanak. That was why the situation was temporarily in a delicate balance.
In the long run, Qin Yin had lost a cohesive Emperor, but the Pope of the Vatican was still alive. Of course, Qin Yin was at a disadvantage. But if the nobles in front of him were to gather their forces and attack, they would definitely be able to chase the army of the Church out of Jialou Lan.
Many of the local nobles of Jiaroulan had died, and the army sent from Qin Yin had not only fought with the Holy See, but had also looted many of the castles of the Jiaroulan nobles. If Chanak was still alive, of course, no one would dare to do this. Now that Sephiroth was supporting the little Emperor, there was no opposition in Holy Rock City, but it did not mean that he could control the entire country.
The difference between Sephiroth and Chanak was revealed at this moment. As long as Chanak was alive, Qin Yin was like a piece of iron. As soon as Chanak died, Sephiroth was at a loss. Unless he became the emperor himself, the local nobles would not listen to him.
However, if he were to usurp his nephew's throne, the nobles in Holy Rock City would not be able to deal with them.
Felide only knew about the news from the frontlines, not the filthy things happening in the rear. He only thought that the nobles at the frontlines were not willing to risk their lives because the Qin was corrupt. It was normal for an army without combat power to resell military equipment. Salin said that he got his armor from the frontlines, so he could not ask for more details. This was because it was high-level magic armor. It was said that the royal swordsman camp in the capital would be equipped with it on a large scale in the future.
There were still a large number of soldiers in the royal swordsman camp who had not returned from the Titan Duchy. Naturally, Felide thought of this. Salin's armor might have been brought back from the Titan Duchy. This kind of armor was not easy to sell, so it was normal for a Magician to want to trade it.
"Where is the armor?" Felide's interest was piqued by Salin. The Holy Wind Nation was also fighting everywhere, and 100 sets of magic armor were of great significance. If he could buy it back, he would be promoted immediately. The island countries in the sea were all small. If these 100 sets of armor formed a team, they would have the power to destroy the capital of a country.
"In Alchemy City," Salin said with a smile.
Although Felide had his doubts, he believed most of it. Many of these armors that were resold from the frontlines had special symbols. Whether they wanted to remove the magic symbols or resell them, Alchemy City was the best place.
"Then how did you end up at sea?" Felide asked the last question.
Salin did not panic at all. He pointed at Rex naturally, meaning for Felide to ask Rex. Salin looked innocent, but his heart was pounding. He did not know what Rex had said to Felide at the beginning. If what he said was different from what Rex had said, then he would be exposed immediately.
Rex understood and said, "We set off from Lianyun City. We wanted to go to Alchemy City by sea, and the goods were transported by land. Even if something happened, it had nothing to do with us. But the ship we hired was caught in a storm and sank, and we were the only ones left. There was still a batch of goods on the ship. Look at those boxes, they were all filled with armor. "
Hearing this, Felide had no more doubts. When he saved Rex and the others, the unconscious white-robed Magician was lying on a pile of wooden boxes. Those wooden boxes were indeed used to store armor, and they were high-level armor. These boxes were airtight, and they had been soaked for a long time. None of them were leaking water.
"If that's the case, I'll go to Alchemy City. But how can I ensure the safety of the trade?"
Salin threw such a big bait, and Felide was worried that he would not be able to take it.
"There are Magicians on the ship, right? We can sign a magic contract." Salin took over. Rex had a batch of high-quality armor soaked in dragon blood. They could be used for the trade after some treatment. These armors were definitely not worth the price of a Coiled Tortoise, but from a literal point of view, these armors were indeed superior magic armors.
The two young Sword Saints beside Felide were overjoyed, and their attitude towards Salin improved immediately. Magicians did not dare to go back on their words after signing a magic contract. Although a magic contract would not be fulfilled on the spot like a Divine Art, the Magician would definitely suffer the backlash of the contract in the future if he went back on his word.
Salin was not afraid of any backlash. He would only write the contents of this trade on the contract, and there was no need to write what he had said before. Magic armor for a Coiled Tortoise — he was not lying about that.
Felide immediately called a Magician over, and Salin wrote the magic contract on the spot. Seeing the white-robed Magician that Felide found, Salin was even more confident.
It seemed that there were not many Magicians in the Wind God Nation. There were three Sword Saints on this ship, which was enough to show the status of this ship in the Wind God Nation. But on this ship, the Magician supervising the contract was only level-three.
After writing the contract, under the guidance of the white-robed Magician, Felide also wrote his name on the contract. He and Salin dripped a drop of blood in the same magic formation. This ceremony had nothing to do with magic, but it was a tradition passed down from ancient times.
"Felide, you must have a very high status in the Wind God Nation." After Salin signed the contract, the atmosphere in the cabin became harmonious. Both of them stopped using messy honorifics and called each other by name.
"Sigh, to tell you the truth, I am also a duke in the Wind God Nation. It's just that my island was conquered by a neighboring country, so I had to go back to the Wind God Island to find a way out."
"Duke! Then I should call you sir! "
Felide was a little embarrassed. The Wind God Nation had a large population, but the entire nation was not even as big as a prefecture of Qin Yin. As a duke, the island that he originally controlled was not even as big as Qin Yin's territory.
But he expected that Salin would not know about this situation, so he chuckled and changed the topic. "Salin, your maid is very beautiful. How about I exchange ten high-level magic cores for her?"
Neris was furious. She lowered her head to hide the golden light floating in her eyes. Salin knew that things were not good. With Neris's temper, she would definitely bear a grudge against Felide. If Felide was alone, Neris might directly attack and kill this Divine Wind Duke.
If they were on land, Salin would not be afraid. But on the ship, the opponent had two real Sword Saints. The power of the Magicians on his side could not be displayed. If they were to fight, Rex could not use magic to sink the ship, right?
"That won't do. In Alchemy City, people used dragon crystals to exchange for her, but I refused. In my heart, Neris is more important than Holy Rock City. "Salin did not look at Felide, but looked at Neris gently.
Felide said disapprovingly, "Salin, if you come with me to the Divine Wind Nation, I will give you ten such women. I am just looking for something new. How can this woman be worth a dragon crystal? "
His words were unusually frivolous. Salin saw that the two young Sword Saints beside Felide also had the same expression. He knew that this was probably the national custom of the Divine Wind Nation, not taking women seriously.
If it was in Qin Yin or Cloud Flow, women had the right to inherit, and human trafficking was not allowed.
"Felide, you are wrong to say that," Rex frowned and said in a reproachful tone.
Felide laughed and said, "You are a Great Magician. In the Divine Wind Nation, even if you were a merman, no one would dare to disrespect you, let alone a woman. I was not talking about you just now."
"Hmph, I am tired. I am going to rest. You guys continue drinking," Rex said as he stood up and left with Neris.
Only then did Sicar raise his head and look at Salin in shock. He asked, "They have not eaten yet, have they?"
The cups and plates in front of Sicar were messy. There were more than ten empty bowls piled up. It turned out that the bowls were filled with bacon. Her hands and face were covered in grease, and one of her legs was still on the chair. With this kind of demeanor, no matter how beautiful she was, it would be greatly discounted.
"You are almost done eating. Go back, I have something to say to Lord Felide." Salin was afraid that Sicar would miss something, so he quickly sent him away. He suddenly had an idea. The Kushui Prefecture was surrounded on all sides. Even if it was developed, transportation would be inconvenient. Transactions with the Clyde Family would always be restricted by Holy Rock City. It would be a good thing if they could establish a connection with the Divine Wind Nation. The key problem was that the Kushui Prefecture did not have a port.
