"You need my help? About the Primordial Crystals? "
Frost Axe had been dealing with cunning human merchants for many years. When Josiah spoke, he instantly guessed Josiah's intentions.
Apart from asking them to forge armor and grind gems, the humans also came to purchase Primordial Crystals.
"Crafting this Magic Machine requires Primordial Crystals as raw materials. If I want this Magic Machine to carry the official version of" Hearthstone ", the quality of the Primordial Crystals will need to be at least two grades higher."
Josiah's words left Frost Axe in deep thought. He wasn't the only member of the Frost Axe Clan, and this Magic Machine could only be used by two players at most.
If he had brought all the dwarves of the Frostaxe Clan with him, this place would have been surrounded from the inside out.
Therefore, a single Magic Machine wasn't enough to satisfy Josiah's needs as an inn owner, nor could it satisfy Frost Axe's needs as a Hearthstone player.
"Primordial Crystals aren't free. You must understand this."
Frost Axe took a swig from the wine glass beside him and wiped his beard stained with alcohol. When he finished the last glass of wine, it meant that he was ready to leave.
"Of course. I know the rules of the Noland Primordial Crystal market. I'm talking to you as an acquirer, Mr. Frost Axe. I have enough chips to exchange for Primordial Crystals as long as you provide me with a channel."
Josiah had so much money on hand that he had nowhere to spend it. Josiah only used a portion of it to invest in the construction of this inn. The movie "Beauty and the Devil" had brought Josiah a growing fortune in the next few weeks.
When Herland was crafting this Magic Machine, he bought the raw materials from a human shop, which was the so-called "retail price". Josiah hoped to get the "wholesale price" from Frost Axe. The direct selling price from the factory was the best.
"Alright, 72 Hammer Street. Come find me at 12 tomorrow morning. No, the earlier the better! I've had enough of those brats having their hands and legs sore when they mine every day, but when it comes to arm wrestling, they're more powerful than anyone else! "
Frost Axe stubbornly believed that such an exciting and fun card game like Hearthstone could cure the bad habits of his clan's young dwarves.
However, Josiah didn't tell Frost Axe about the bad habits of Hearthstone, which were even scarier than arm-wrestling. At the very least, arm-wrestling wasn't addictive.
"I'll get there as soon as possible."
Josiah memorized the address. After instructing Ino to send the guest off, the old dwarf reluctantly looked at Hearthstone, which had already stopped running. He suppressed his desire to play another round and left the tavern.
"How many raw crystals do you plan to buy?"
Hiri had a piece of bread in her hand as dinner. She moved a chair and sat opposite Josiah.
As a mage, Hiri knew how much the price of raw crystals fluctuated. She usually used raw crystals to store small spells such as' Illuminate 'and' Ignite 'for less than one silver coin.
However, raw crystals that could store more than one inscription cost more than one gold coin.
The prototype machine in front of Josiah cost around two hundred gold coins to build.
"I'll buy as much as I have."
Josiah pointed at a coin slot below the machine. After inscribing an 'Appraisal' spell, this coin slot could perfectly identify Noland's currency.
Once Josiah introduced the function of purchasing expansion packs in Hearthstone, no matter how much money Josiah spent on raw crystals, he would be able to earn it back from the dwarves.
There weren't many people in this world who could resist the temptation of sixty or forty packs. There were plenty of examples of impulsive spending while playing the game.
"We can go back after Marina comes back. Also, Hiri, I suggest you bring some red tea back to refresh yourself."
"If you give me the second half of 'This Demon Is Not Too Cold', I'll be refreshed for the whole night!"
As Hiri was thinking about how to get the second half of the script from Josiah, the tavern's door was pushed open again. Marina, who had been out for the whole afternoon, had finally returned.
The old woman took off her shawl and quickly walked to Josiah.
"What happened?"
Marina was out looking for someone who could fill the position of the tavern's chef.
But judging from Marina's nervous expression, she seemed to have met with some trouble.
"Mr. Josiah, I saw the Sacred Army on the street. It's not far from here."
Marina recalled the knights she saw on the street. The silver-white armor and the gold-plated coat of arms were definitely the Sacred Army of the Kingdom of Saints.
Although they took off their helmets and weapons on the street and came to Noland as tourists, Marina had a bad feeling about this.
"Why are you telling me?"
Josiah looked at the female merchant calmly. Although Marina knew that she was one of the actors in 'Beauty and the Demon', she didn't know Ino and Josiah's true identity.
In the eyes of the female merchant, Josiah was still the mage 'Gaston' who saved her from the demon.
"Didn't Ino dance with the demon in 'Beauty and the Demon'? I appeared in that movie too. "
Marina didn't doubt Josiah and Ino's identity. She only knew that Josiah used a special method to record every detail of Ino and the demon's interaction. These details made Marina quite touched. She felt like someone was finally willing to marry her daughter.
However, the popularity of the movie "Beauty and the Devil" had already spread in Norland, and the people from the Kingdom of Saints must have heard a little about it. If any of them had seen it and remembered the appearance of Ino and Marina, they would definitely be shocked.
Even if they couldn't punish them like they did with the demon, they would definitely interrogate them for a long time!
"Don't worry, this is the magic capital of Noland, not the Kingdom of Saints, Messiah. Marina, when you meet the Sacred Army, just stay in this tavern," Josiah said.
"Stay in the tavern? Mr. Josiah, when I went to the Kingdom of Saints to trade, I saw the Sacred Army carrying out their duties. I don't think they will sit down and talk to us. "
Marina swept a glance at the tavern. Even though the interior had been renovated, there wasn't a single place for them to hide or escape.
"You don't need to run or talk to them. When the Sacred Army comes, just sit here and continue taking care of the tavern."
Josiah didn't build 'Hearthstone Tavern' just to earn money!
"Madam Marina, do you know how the dwarves treat those who cause trouble in their tavern?"
"Dwarves?"
Marina shook her head. She rarely interacted with this race.
"The answer is simple. Throw them out and give them a good beating!" Josiah said.
The spellcasters and dwarves were the masters of Noland. The Sacred Army was at most a tourist. Josiah just needed to turn Hearthstone Tavern into the dwarves' territory.
