There were three sources for Liszt's magic books. One was that the Flower Caravan bought them from the bookstore in Coral City every time; the other was from Elkson; and the third was from the Tulip Castle Caravan to buy books from other places.
There was a high probability that the reward of the task would come from one of these three sources.
Thinking about it this way, he felt a little indignant. Even without this task, the magic books would still be in his hands. It felt like taking off his pants and farting, it was superfluous.
Anyway, the task had to be done.
… …
Coral City, a small town around.
In a dilapidated cabin in the woods, Elkson Truth shrouded himself in a cloak and stood at the door of the cabin. With a creak, the door opened. An old woman with dark green hair opened the door.
She was also wearing a magic cloak, but it was dirty and had obviously not been washed for a long time.
"You're here, Elkson."
"Yes, Sir Milesi." Elkson frowned quietly and tried to hold his breath. The smell in the room was too strange. "Why didn't your magic apprentice open the door? Why bother you to open the door?"
"Clumsy waste, I have turned him into a pile of flower fertilizer." Milesi Truth said in a flat tone, telling of the murder that happened in private.
Elkson twitched the corner of his mouth, wanting to laugh but unable to.
He could only change the subject. "Did your friend bring you new magic books?"
Milesi smiled coldly. "Of course I did. What about you, Elkson? Are you ready for the gold coins you cheated from the little white faced lord?"
"I didn't cheat Baron Liszt, I was just doing business."
"Oh, I noticed that you've been visiting the Yingge Tavern more often recently than you did last year." Milesi licked his dry, chapped lips, his eyes flashing. "Young people should be more restrained. Don't indulge yourself after making money. The path of truth needs to be explored alone."
"Thank you for your advice, Sir Milesi. If there is nothing else, I want to get the magic books first. I have some things to deal with."
"Come with me."
After entering the hut, Milesi pointed at a wooden box and said, "This is the new batch of magic books. There are no duplicates. There are fifty-one books in total. I'll charge you three gold coins."
"Last time, a box of magic books only cost two gold coins."
"The price has risen." Milesi smiled sinisterly. "Anyway, you can cheat more money from the pretty boy lord. Why do you care about a small business that only costs one or two gold coins?"
"Sir Milesi, please don't spread rumors for no reason. When I do business with Baron Liszt, I always mark the price clearly. I've never hidden or deducted anything."
"Hehe, use your lies to deceive Specter. Three gold coins, not one less."
"You're making things difficult for me. Fifty-one magic books cost three gold coins. I can't afford such a price."
Although he bargained for a while, in the end, Elkson reluctantly paid three gold coins.
He asked one of the magic apprentices to take the box away and left the cabin in the middle of the forest that was emitting a strange smell.
On the way back.
The magic apprentice asked curiously, "Teacher, there's a strange smell in Milesi's house. She … she looks very sloppy."
"Not every sorcerer is as refined as my teacher, and not every magic apprentice is as lucky as you to have a peace-loving teacher … On average, Sir Milesi has a new magic apprentice every month. There are always silly teenagers who think that magic is a noble existence."
"Ah, is Milesi so harsh to the magic apprentices that he drives one away every month?"
"Drives away?" Elkson laughed as if he had heard a joke. "Haha, Hans, you should learn to talk less, or you will expose your serious ignorance."
But he didn't continue to explain.
Only the puzzled teenager was left, struggling to hold the box and follow behind him.
Back in his residence, Elkson sent Hans to meditate and began to sort out the books in the box. Milesi sold him books for three gold coins, which was a bit cruel, but he could reorganize the books and separate the valuable ones.
"'Queen's Tauren Conjecture'? Well, in Milesi's opinion, this monster story, which has no use at all, should sell for a good price. Baron Liszt likes this kind of … unconstrained imagination. "He picked out the book and put it aside.
Then he picked out a few more, such as "Field Research on the Giant Footprint of Kamchatka", "Randolph Truth's Travels in the Grand Duchy of Brass", "Analysis of the Magic Principle of Turning Frogs into Sheep", and so on.
Finally, he turned to a book called "The Secrets of Sea Snakes" and carefully read a few pages. "It shouldn't sell for a good price. It's all about the habits of sea monsters. Baron Liszt won't like this kind of boring notes." So he threw the book back into the box.
The books in the box were sold at cost, no bargaining.
Looking at the pile of organized books, Link laughed. "These should be able to sell for five or six gold-rimmed coins … But next time, I'll have to contact a new sorcerer to buy these books. Milesi, that old witch, is too greedy … Unfortunately, it's very difficult to get hold of the spell-casting methods that I want."
Eat the marrow and know the taste.
Selling magic is something that is despised by the magic world. Once it is done, it can't be stopped.
Especially after receiving the payment for the flower wine a while ago, Liszt directly paid 20 gold coins for the rock grenade casting plan.
Elkson quickly fell in love with the pleasure of making a net profit of 20 gold coins.
"Next, I will expand my contacts and contact the mages of the outer islands."
… …
Liszt doesn't care about Elkson's business methods.
Of course, he knows that Elkson should make a lot of money from buying magic books and refining magic potions, but that's the way technology is monopolized.
If you hire any mage to work, you have to pay enough technical fees.
Unless he trains a mage himself – perhaps the future siren A Qi can help refine magic potions, but she can't do it now.
He can only hire people with money.
The income from the second batch of flower wine was quickly distributed, a total of 200 gold coins.
The nobles of Coral Island quickly accepted the taste of the flower wine. The sale of gin has been banned on Coral Island.
With enough gold coins, they don't care about the gold coins given to Elkson.
They are in a good mood every day.
The ironwood thorn products of the carpentry workshop have also gradually opened up to the market. The quality of ironwood is only slightly higher than the price of general wood products. It is quickly favored by the small nobles and orders continue to pour in.
Hangers, rocking chairs, drawers, these three new types of families are also very popular and have received a lot of orders.
All the carpenters in the town are so busy that they have to have their meals delivered. They get up from dawn to dusk to make all kinds of wood products and sell them to all parts of Coral Island through caravans.
"Now Flower Town is thriving, Charles, you should feel it." Zambrotta, who serves as the diplomat of Flower Town, is receiving a noble.
Thunder attribute elite Earth Knight.
