"Um, Brother Looking At Each Other, you can try …" Ye Cang glanced over and said indifferently. Looking At Each Other rolled his eyes. "Scram! Why don't you go!"
Ye Cang shrugged. "I was just giving a suggestion. The reward is so much gold, it would be a pity if no one went."
"Father, you can actually take the sheepskin scroll and let someone else do it …" Little Ye Tian's suggestion stunned everyone. What a brilliant idea! Ice Cloud looked at Little Ye Tian. This girl definitely has the talent to be a brothel keeper.
Ye Cang took the sheepskin scroll and stuffed it into her chest, then tore off the picture. "Just in case someone sees the picture and goes back on their word. Hah, too bad Brother CloudDragon isn't in Black Rock City. Otherwise, we could give it to him …"
Ice Cloud looked at Ye Cang and broke out in cold sweat. As expected of a tiger father, a dog daughter. Each one is more ruthless than the other. If the Fighting King knew, he would be very sad …
White Stone City, in a certain mountain area.
CloudDragon and the others were surrounding a SS. Just as they were about to loot the corpse, they felt a chill down their spines. They suddenly turned to look in the direction of Black Rock City and frowned. Then, they shook their heads and gave up looting their own corpses.
Ye Cang and the others picked a mission. There were quite a few new ones. Most of them were weeding, finding pets, etc. However, they didn't let go of any of them. Looking At Each Other didn't refuse. Doing odd jobs would sometimes give them extra rewards.
After the missions were distributed, Looking At Each Other brought them to the Rye Forest Underground Bar. He gave the magic crystal converter to the dwarf. "You guys didn't encounter any danger there, right? Was there anything strange …"
Ye Cang narrowed her eyes. He was probably probing them to see if they had discovered anything. She guessed that he hadn't seen the ore vein. "There was nothing strange. We just happened to kill the beast that attacked you guys."
The dwarf nodded with some regret. "It's a loss this time. Hah, this is your reward."
"Congratulations, you've completed 'Return of the Lost Magic Crystal Converter'. Received 1700 experience, + 1 skill point, Received 3 gold."
The dwarf sighed and left the bar with several dwarves and humans in the same attire with the equipment.
"Lele, take the cart back to the chamber of commerce and exchange it for the reward. The rest of you, do your assigned missions. While you're at it, scout around for information. You're dismissed. When the time comes, gather at the general store …" Ye Cang dismissed everyone, then returned to the warehouse to take inventory of the ores. She separated them. There were a few magic crystals, fiery sun stones, quite a few holy jade, and other ores and gems of various attributes.
"Boss, there's news about the magic crystal mine. Due to the recent shortage of magic crystals in Black Rock City, Marquis Claire's steel factory is continuing to supply magic crystals at a high price. It's in the south of the city. He just happens to be there." Rica hurriedly came to the warehouse.
"Got it. Prepare a few carts." Ye Cang nodded. Rica quickly went to take care of it. Not long after, Ye Cang brought a few carts to the steel factory in the south of the city. The guards stopped them.
"We heard they were buying magic crystals at a high price, so we specially brought a batch. Please inform Marquis Claire." Ye Cang took off her wolf-head hood, revealing her appearance. The guards glanced at each other. "Wait a moment!"
Ten minutes later, a brown haired middle aged man wearing a purple robe walked in front of the guards. He had a rough but steady beard, an aquiline nose, and a dignified expression. He looked at Ye Cang and the carts behind her. "This can indeed solve the urgent shortage of magic crystals. Young man, where did you get these magic crystals?"
"I bought them from elsewhere." Ye Cang said perfunctorily. The man in front of her was probably Marquis Claire. He was indeed extraordinarily valiant. He was clearly a general, not a weak noble. Moreover, he was probably extremely powerful. After all, a marquis in Black Rock City was the second in command. Ye Cang had just heard this from Rica.
Marquis Claire faintly smiled, but didn't say anything. He pointed at the goods. "I'll take this batch. Go to the accounts room to settle the bill. White Hair young man, if you can bring another batch, I'll reward you heavily! You'll definitely be satisfied! "
Ye Cang raised her head and thought for a moment. The batch she gave him was only 1/30th of the magic crystals in the warehouse. Giving him another batch wouldn't be a big deal. In any case, she was going to sell them anyway. She nodded. "Alright, I still have another batch. I'll send it to you later."
Rica was somewhat at a loss as to what to do. This was a Marquis!
After saying that, Ye Cang took her leave and brought Rica to the accounts room to settle the bill. Claire looked at Ye Cang's back and narrowed his eyes. "Investigate his background. See if he's clean …"
The knight at the side nodded and left.
After coming out of the accounts room, Ye Cang felt refreshed. The huge sum of 2315 gold had arrived. She took out half of it and gave it to Rica to manage the general store and expand the business. Then, she once again loaded another batch. Claire couldn't help but stare blankly. So fast!? His storage area was probably in the city. Moreover, this should be the last batch. This brat was a pretty good opportunist. He was decisive and didn't drag things out. A gust of wind blew. Ye Cang's coat opened up a bit, revealing her adventurer's medal. Claire stared blankly for a moment, then broke out in cold sweat. So she was a member of the nursing home. Then she probably wasn't someone suspicious. Those treacherous old fellows had very crafty eyes. "Follow me …"
Claire had people unload the magic crystal goods. She brought the doubtful Ye Cang to her official residence. The two of them arrived at the hall. Claire got straight to the point. "I hope you can give me this batch of goods as a sponsor. Of course, I won't treat you unfairly. This is a baron's medal. With this medal, you can go to the city center and choose a piece of land for yourself …"
Ye Cang hesitated. He was the second in command here. If she could avoid offending him, then she shouldn't. Moreover, there was a title and a piece of land. It should be better than gold. She could only helplessly accept the medal. "Then, I'll have to thank Your Excellency Marquis."
"Congratulations, your reputation in Black Rock City has reached the highest level. You've received the title of baron."
Black Rock City · Baron: Monthly salary of 20 gold. Can be collected from the city center.
"Remember to come find me if you have any urgent goods …" Claire patted the newly promoted Ye Cang and said with a smile.
Ye Cang slowly nodded. He felt like something was wrong, so he bid farewell and left the marquis' mansion. Seeing the passersby respectfully nodding at him, he felt secretly happy. Brother, I'm now a titled noble. He excitedly arrived at the city hall, but when he looked at the registration data, he saw that there were thousands of barons in Black Rock City. He immediately turned his head and felt very unhappy. So barons were as common as dogs, and so was the land. It wasn't big to begin with, and all the good places were taken. Looking at the empty land to choose from, it was all in the wilderness. Damn, I've been screwed over by that hook-nosed guy.
Ye Cang's angry gaze slowly landed on the Callor Hills. Oh, no one wants that place. It was probably abandoned and left to scam those idiots who think they're awesome just because they're barons. Thinking about it, that's not right. I'm a baron. According to what Xiao Tian said, there should be ore veins there. After asking around, the area she could choose was about the size of three small hills. It was about 10 times larger than the area near the city. Without another word, Ye Cang chose the three hills next to it as her own land. (My novel, "Unparalleled White Emperor", will have even more new content on the official WeChat platform.
