From the perspective of most of the merchants that a certain someone had interacted with, without a deposit or a contract, a transaction, especially a large one, did not count.
Yet, under the circumstances of not knowing if a certain someone could afford it, she gave the order. Even if it was just for show, this was the first time Lin had met someone with such boldness. It could only be said that Lady Audrey was indeed a noble.
However, a certain someone did not intend to end it like this. Buying was only one of his goals; the other was to sell something. Of course, there was no money involved in this. This was because 'bartering', especially large transactions and large transactions, was still one of the main businesses in the maze.
"So, the things that you want to sell are in the carriage outside, and the carriage is full. It can't be moved in." Lady Audrey asked for confirmation.
"Yes, so I can only ask you to move outside. I think it will be easier than sending someone to move the things in. Also, this room does not look like there is enough space for me to display the things in the carriage. "
Perhaps Lady Audrey, as the person in charge, did not say anything, but the butler standing behind her was a little dissatisfied with the one-eyed girl who brought the people in. Based on his past experience, as long as the size and quantity of the things could not be placed on the table in the reception room, it would not be anything good.
'Large' and 'heavy' were usually related to words like 'vulgar'. One had to know that although the White Rose Merchant Guild was not the largest in Pilsen City, its customers were not ordinary people or mages. Without any status, they would not even be able to enter the door.
Only the president of the Society of Sorcerers, Mark Kovacs, an apprentice of some unknown rank, dared to be so bold as to bring anyone here.
One had to know that the number of apprentices under the president was at least a hundred, if not a thousand. Some had achieved considerable success, but it was not like there were no mediocre people. That one-eyed girl who did not have a good aptitude was not a person at all. She just liked to act spoiled and happened to be fated with his master.
Although his heart was full of complaints, the butler did not show any disgust on his face. Instead, he followed his master's orders and brought a group of people to where the carriage was parked.
From the appearance of the carriage, it did not look like anything of high quality. It could even be said that it was crudely made. Before he even got close, he could already smell an irritating odor. Even the guards who were originally here didn't want to stay for long, and all of them kept a good distance away. Even the horses in the nearby stables were restless.
Sure enough, when a certain someone uncovered the rotten carriage, it was full of unknown pieces of meat, bones, and other things. There were also a few goatskin water bags that seemed to be filled with blood. Unless the bright red sheepskin was just an ordinary pigment. But such an explanation was too far-fetched.
At this time, one of the servants who had been brought in wrinkled his nose in dissatisfaction and said, "If you want to sell meat, shouldn't you go to the slaughterhouse and not here?"
"The slaughterhouse collects dragon meat? How come I didn't know? As expected of a big city, it was very progressive. Then, may I ask, where is the slaughterhouse? "Lin asked with a serious expression, not sure if he couldn't tell or was pretending to be dumb.
"This is dragon meat?" Even Lady Audrey, who had always maintained an elegant demeanor, could not remain calm. He stepped forward to take a closer look.
Don't think that in a magical world like the Maze Land, creatures like dragons should roam the world. In fact, most of the dragons gathered on Dragon Island in the eastern sea of the Maze Land, living a life isolated from the rest of the world. Only a few of them lived in seclusion somewhere in the Maze Land.
This meant that normal people had almost no chance of seeing a dragon. Besides, even if they did see one, it was another matter whether they could return to the human world alive to show off.
But looking at the excited faces of the group, Lin didn't know what was good for him and poured a bucket of cold water, saying, "Alright, I admit that my words might have caused a misunderstanding. This dragon shouldn't be the kind of dragon that can fly in the sky like you imagined. "
"What do you mean, this is a fake?" Someone in the crowd asked excitedly. No one would be in a good mood if they were deceived for no reason.
Lin said, "It's also a problem to say that it's not a dragon. This is a subspecies of Earth Dragon that we met on the way here. After killing it, we built a temporary carriage on the way and brought along as many valuable things as we could. I think that even if it's a subspecies, it's still a very powerful magical beast, so the materials on its body should be valuable. I hope to use this dragon's materials to exchange for the items on the three lists. But I haven't compared the detailed values, so if there's anything lacking, we can still discuss what to exchange for. I'll leave it to you to evaluate. "
It seemed that compared to the dragon that could fly in the sky, the news that Lin brought surprised Lady Audrey's people more. Someone asked with a trembling voice, "How can you prove that the dragon you killed is the one in the south?"
"How can I prove it? I can't do it. That dragon doesn't carry a household registration certificate with it to tell the world where it lives. What's more, its head is already beyond recognition. I don't want to bring back a troublesome thing whose head can fill up an entire car. There's no way to cut it up at all. "
Lin's explanation seemed to be evasive, making everyone feel dissatisfied. But the butler who had been standing behind Lady Audrey approached the carriage and held up a heavy dragon horn with both hands. It was a cylindrical spike that was like a tooth. The surface was covered with spiral patterns, but there was an obvious weapon wound in the middle.
He said excitedly, "There's no need to argue, this is the dragon." The butler set the tone for this debate that hadn't yet expanded. He held the dragon horn that ordinary people couldn't lift alone, intentionally or unintentionally showing everyone a flat gap on it.
The others also noticed the rather unique wound, and some of the clever ones asked, "Big brother, this wound shouldn't have been left by your weapon, right?"
The wound on his abdomen was aching faintly, but there was a hint of pleasure in his heart. The man in the deacon's uniform was emitting a dangerous and intimidating aura. All kinds of memories surged in his mind.
In the past, that should have been just a very ordinary guard mission, and in the end, it turned into a tragedy of less than one out of ten survivors. The culprit was this king level magical beast that changed its hunting range on the spur of the moment, a Ground Dragon. And what was lost was not only the lives of their comrades and the loss of money, but also the original Count of Shantuo, Lady Audrey's husband, the legitimate successor of the Shantuo family.
Although no one said it clearly, Lady Audrey also realized which dragon it was. But she looked at everything with a calm gaze, completely unlike the people from the family who were agitated.
The sudden death of her husband, the tit-for-tat confrontation of her relatives, and the sudden appearance of a young illegitimate child. In comparison, this Ground Dragon wasn't the one she hated the most. So even though she controlled most of the family's resources, Audrey would rather stay in Pilsen City than return to that foul territory.
But since this happened, she couldn't just ignore it. The territory of the Shantuo family was located at the edge of the Dragon Root Mountain, bordering the sphere of influence of the king level magical beast – the Ground Dragon.
The fall of the king would be followed by a carnival of magical beasts. In order to fill the vacancy of the deceased king, all the powerful magical beasts would launch a cruel competition, which would inevitably affect everything in the vicinity. But if it worked well, it was also an opportunity. When the snipe and the clam fought, the fisherman who benefited didn't necessarily have to be other magical beasts, but could also be humans.
But Audrey didn't have much confidence in the people staying in the territory. She estimated that it would be difficult for them to protect themselves. If they wanted to gain benefits from the carnival, they might lose everything if they weren't careful.
In the end, Audrey ordered people to send the relevant information back to the territory of the Dragon Root Mountain. As for what those people wanted to do, it wasn't something she could control.
The main force of the family had long been divided up by those so-called relatives. Many of the people she brought with her were brought over from her original family. If it weren't for the fact that the family's largest source of wealth was in her hands, she probably wouldn't have been able to use the surname 'Shantuo'.
At the same time, she also directed some of her overly excited subordinates to classify and display the materials of the Ground Dragon one by one. This was also to estimate the value.
Biological materials didn't just depend on where they were collected and refined, but also on the state of preservation. The value of well-preserved materials was naturally higher, and the opposite was lower. And all these had to be judged by professional appraisers.
Audrey looked at the dazzling array of materials that were displayed. Even though she had been through a lot, she was still a little confused at this time because only a small part of the carriage was emptied. Not all of them were raw materials. A small part had been processed by the Lich, such as purified essence.
Seeing that everyone was busy and couldn't finish in a short time, Lin came to the side of the noblewoman and said, "Madam Audrey, I believe that you can estimate a good price for these materials, and also make appropriate arrangements for them. At that time, we were limited by the environment and couldn't do any careful preservation. "
"So, you're planning to leave?" Audrey understood the intention of Lin Li's words and asked directly.
"Of course, we just entered the city and don't even have a place to stay. If we don't find a place to sleep first, we can only sleep on the side of the road tonight."
"Then, what about these things? Will any of you stay to supervise? " Madam Audrey looked at the countless precious materials that were spread all over the table as if they didn't cost money, and even spread to the ground. She felt a lot of emotions in her heart.
According to the customs of the maze, before the price was estimated, trusted people would be sent to supervise everything, even if the parties involved weren't present. This was also to avoid any disputes that might arise later.
But Lin laughed out loud and said, "I don't want to carry a cart full of things around. Since it's all for sale, madam, just do as you see fit. I'm not good at this. "The so-called otaku was very careless in things that he didn't care about. And the value of that cart of Ground Dragon materials, someone didn't care at all. As long as he could exchange for what he needed, it was fine. Too much money would bite.
