Chapter 18 The Night of the Fall of the Stars
Not all locations of the Carlos Mountains have fire crystal stones, and only the area located on the west side of Panshi Town is rich in production.
The lords of Panshi Town only have the rule of Panshi Town and surrounding lands, and the Carlos Mountains are also the territorial dividing line between the Kingdom of Elno and neighboring countries.
It is very dangerous to have monsters appearing in wild areas like the Carlos Mountains all year round. If you want to mine fire crystals, you need to ensure safety. Viscount Carl, the lord of Panshi Town, has invested a lot of resources to open up a relatively safe passage and large mines.
If it weren't for the income and family support of other town territories, they would have failed long ago.
Fortunately, the income after construction was less than a year, and the income from Fire Crystal made him earn back the principal and interest.
The nobles of Blackstone City were extremely jealous of this and wanted to get involved. The good location had long been occupied by Carl, so they could only choose to open mines with low remaining output.
There is a huge demand for fire crystal stones on the mainland. Although more mines will affect prices, the large number of guards brought by the nobles of Black Stone City also indirectly makes the surrounding areas safer. The Chamber of Commerce in Black Stone City has also joined hands with some merchants to open small mines.
For small merchants like Parker, it is impossible to build a mine. They can only do some coolies to purchase fire crystal stones from relatively cheap places of origin to earn spreads and freight.
Chu Yun was a little moved when he heard Parker's suggestion. Chu Yun was very moved. The magic scroll used in Kane's previous battle made him very moved. His magic model construction is helpful with blueprints. It is easy to cast spells or draw scrolls. Just find some evil magicians to make a magic scroll. You can start working.
Many fire magic scrolls require fire crystal powder as the basic material for drawing magic patterns, while magic wands require relatively complete crystallization.
Chu Yun is now a rare professional brigade wizard, but he only has a rusty short knife on his body, which is really too down and out.
"Pyke, for me, if you buy a small amount of fire crystal, you can buy it directly in Panshi Town. It seems that there is no need to go to the mining area." Although the mining area is cheaper, it is not cost-effective to go to the mine when there are fewer quantities.
Hearing Chu Yun's answer, Parker whispered: "In fact, the miners in the mining area are not that honest. A miner I know will secretly bury the fire crystal stones hidden by the workers at the place we agreed upon every once in a while."
"After I get the goods, I will pay the money directly to his family to complete the transaction. Last time, I directly sold ten second-level fire crystal stones and sold them for a lot of money!" Parker said excitedly.
Chu Yun was a little puzzled: "Aren't you afraid that I will report it?"
Parker shook his head: "I have a special contact with him. Only I know where the burial point is, and you don't know who he is, and there is no evidence for the mine owner."
"Why do you tell me this? Wouldn't it be better if you trade with him like before?" Chu Yun was still puzzled.
Parker sighed and said, "This time it's different. He hid the fire crystal in the mine before he could bring it out, the mine was abandoned."
"Now that mine is unguarded by monsters, there is a bit of danger there, but I don't want to let the town of Rock and people I don't trust participate, so I want to ask you to go to the mine to collect crystals at that time." Parker glanced at Hanson not far away and said helplessly.
Most of the villagers in Panshi Town are very grateful to the lord. If they know about their behavior, they might just report it.
"So, Parker, what will I get for you?"
Parker was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "This time the goods are eight second-level fire crystals and fifteen first-level crystals. If you get them successfully, you will be given three second-level fire crystals at that time."
The price of crystals that Parker illegally purchased from the miner was very low, especially this time the other party did not bring the items to the agreed location, so the price was even more suppressed by him. Even if he gave Chu Yun three, there was still a lot of profit margin.
Obtaining items in places occupied by monsters may be troublesome for others, but it is very simple for Chu Yun, who has the ability to enter the mirror world. This transaction can be done!
"Pyke, I'm not sure if I can really defeat those monsters. If it fails..." Chu Yun was still a cautious person.
"Don't worry, it's just a group of rock insects. With your strength, it's OK. Even if you fail, it doesn't matter." Parker smiled and toasted a glass of wine.
The two agreed on the departure time for the next day, and Hansen was still escorting him on the way. When they reached the fork, they acted separately.
After the discussion, the enthusiastic Parker even settled the bill for Chu Yun, and Chu Yun ordered some more food and returned to the hotel.
After arriving at the hotel, Chu Yun knocked on the door.
"Dongdongdongdongdong~"
"Xia, it's me."
There was a strange sound in the room, and the door was opened soon after.
Xiya looked a little panicked and only wore her pajamas, half-opening the door and blocking Chu Yun's view with her body: "Mr. Chu Yun, it's so late, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Yun handed her the packaged food: "I guess you didn't ask you to have sex with me before when you were resting. I brought you some food. The effect of berries is almost gone."
Looking at the sumptuous food handed over by Chu Yun, Xiya was a little stunned.
"This, did you bring it back to me?" It can be seen that these foods are not leftovers but freshly baked food.
"If you have nothing to do, take a break early. I have something important to go out with Parker tomorrow. You can buy the money by yourself with whatever you want. Try not to go out to avoid trouble." Chu Yun saw that she was so pitiful, so he stuffed a gold coin as pocket money for her.
After saying that, Chu Yun entered his room without waiting for the other party to come back to his senses.
Xiya stood up blankly, then took the food into her room and closed the door. The bed sheets and quilts in the room had been replaced by Xiya for new ones, and the clothes on the coat in the bathroom were covered in blood.
"Is he caring about me? No, he will leave me like his master tomorrow."
Xiya tried to stuff delicious food into her mouth, but it turned out like chewing wax. For her in the object, only fresh flesh and blood can increase her strength and allow her to enjoy the delicious food.
This is one of the costs.
Xiya didn't know why, but she finally swallowed all the food, and no leftovers were left even if it was too bad.
"I have no way out, I must improve my strength as soon as possible." Xiya came to the window and looked at the deep night sky and said to herself.
Not long after, a meteor passed by, followed by the second and third...
On that night, countless meteors fell and scattered everywhere in the continent. This was definitely not an ordinary meteor shower. No one knew what was going on. Only some powerful professionals noticed the unusual aura.
