Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight

Chapter 132 Obtaining Zijincao, investment from the Assad family

 Looking at the gold card that Thor took out, both Rupee and Morris couldn't help but have a touch of shock on their expressions.

They had just lamented how rare a gold card was, when their younger brother took out a gold card.

 “Thor, you really amaze me!”

 “You can actually get Assad’s gold card.”

Ruby spoke with emotion, and looked at Thor deeply.

 “Hahaha, Thor, that’s great!”

“Just give this thing to the attendant and ask him to pass it on to the steward here.”

Morris was equally excited and spoke quickly.

Although having a gold card does not necessarily mean that you can obtain purple golden grass, it is at least much simpler.

 If there was almost no hope before, then there is undoubtedly hope at this moment.

　　If Purple Golden Grass appeared at an auction, it would be unimaginable for those competing.

Deli was a little embarrassed, but he still opened his mouth to explain.

Deli spoke respectfully, with a hint of curiosity in his heart.

 As a representative of the Assad family’s distinguished guests, the gold card not only enjoys certain discounts, but also can reserve auction items in advance.

"Several adults want to intercept you, that's fine, but please wait a moment, I need to ask for permission."

 “Wait a moment, I need to apply.”

 “What’s wrong? Is there any problem?”

"yes!"

Hearing Morris's words, Thor nodded, and then waved to the attendant not far away.

Thor spoke, and then handed over the gold card.

 Several people couldn't help but be startled.

 But this has a great effect.

 The attendant quickly left.

General magic plants can basically be kept for decades, or even hundreds of years with luck, using special storage methods.

“I am Deli Assad, the person in charge of this auction. Is there anything I can do for you?”

 “Half a year?”

"Please wait!"

“Lord Lu, this is not a problem, it’s just that the purple golden grass is not very perfect and can only last less than half a year.”

 “Is that so?”

Looking at Thor waving, the attendant from a distance quickly ran over.

 It didn’t take long.

 If it were intercepted, at least the competitive pressure would be much smaller.

 “Several adults, please excuse me.”

The Assad family and the Dressrosa family are not so friendly. How come the Dressrosa family has their family's gold card.

Thor and others began to wait.

Although the intercepted auction items are not just intercepted, they will be competed privately by everyone who has a gold card.

 In just a quarter of an hour, a blond middle-aged man hurried over.

“If there is, can it be intercepted and traded privately?”

 After waiting for a moment, Thor asked Ruby and Morris about the functions of gold cards.

Although this thing is not the fruit of life, its help to the Breakthrough Sky Knight is almost negligible, but no matter how negligible it is, it is still possible, not to mention that it is one of the main ingredients of high-level life potions. This thing , not to mention the Marquis family, at least the Earl family, most of them will flock to it.

This is the gold card of their Assad family, and he does not dare to neglect it in the slightest.

 The attendant approached and spoke respectfully.

 “Sir, what orders do you have?”

“That’s right, I would like to ask you whether there is a purple golden grass for auction in this auction.”

Ruby frowned and looked at Deli.

It's really hard to say whether the Dressrosa family can win among so many competitors.

“It is indeed only half a year, my lords, this magic plant was picked by a free citizen and was not well kept, which greatly affected it. It is precisely because of this that the Assad family decided to put it up for auction.”

Looking at Jinka, the attendant's expression changed, and his expression became solemn and serious.

"this!"

 Deli was startled for a moment, and then hesitated.

 “Give this to your stewards.”

“Sir, are you really sure?”

 Deli quickly explained, and then looked at a few people with questions.

 Several people looked at each other.

"this!"

Lubi hesitated, and Morris also felt a little confused.

 A purple golden grass can only be stored for half a year, so its effect is undoubtedly very limited.

“Okay, we’re sure, go and ask for permission!”

　While the two hesitated, Thor spoke.

 For other nobles, purple golden grass that can only be stored for half a year is almost useless.

 After all, purple golden grass generally needs to be combined with the fruit of life and the star-moon fruit to prepare a high-level life potion. If it is not possible, you have to wait for the right time to sell it and take it. Unless it is urgently needed, it will not be used for half a year.

 But the Dressrosa family is different. At this moment, his father already has the Fruit of Life, the Star-Moon Fruit, and the Purple Golden Grass. Even if he cannot prepare the life potion, he can still use it reluctantly. There is no need to worry about waste.

"good!"

 “Sir, please wait a moment!”

 Deli nodded quickly.

 Then he trotted away.

 “Thor, does this really not matter?”

 Ruby looked at Thor curiously.

 “It’s okay, Brother Ruby.”

Thor smiled and shook his head.

Facing Thor's expression, Ruby's heart moved and she did not continue to ask.

 On the other side, Deli quickly went to the top.

There is a huge room here at the moment.

In the room, a blond middle-aged man was sipping red wine, waiting for the auction to start.

 He is the head of the Assad family of this generation and the Count of Assad of this generation.

“It’s a pity that it’s only half a year. Otherwise, while waiting for the fruit of life in the family to arrive, I’m afraid my father will have another chance to attack the Sky Knights.”

 Shaking his head and sighing, the blond middle-aged man looked helpless.

 Half a year is too short. The fruit of life cannot be reached within half a year, not to mention that it will take some time for the Star-Moon Fruit to mature.

By that time, the purple golden grass will probably lose its effect. Rather than keeping it, it is better to auction it, at least it can be exchanged for a lot of gold coins.

 “Dong dong!”

While he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

The blond middle-aged man frowned, but still spoke.

 Soon the door was pushed open and Deli walked in.

“Sir, there is a gold card holder who wants us to intercept the purple golden grass.”

As soon as Deli came in, he didn't dare to be slow and quickly spoke respectfully and reported the situation.

 “Oh? It seems like someone really needs it?”

 “Which family is it from?”

The blond middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then spoke with a smile.

 “He is from the Dressrosa family.”

 “I wonder where they got a gold card from!”

Deli spoke respectfully, with a puzzled look on his face, and handed over the gold card in his hand.

 “Lajos’ gold card?”

 “That son of mine is really willing to give up.”

The blond middle-aged man glanced at Jinka and couldn't help but chuckle. “Master Lajos?”

Hearing the words of the blond middle-aged man, Deli was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

"alright!"

“There is a high probability that Count Engel wants to attack the Sky Knight!”

“Let’s do this, intercept that purple golden grass, and tell the little guy to come up with 20,000 gold coins. This purple golden grass will be given to him, and there is no need to auction it.”

 Deli's thoughts were flowing, but the blond middle-aged man's chuckle words had already sounded.

 “Sir, this!”

 Deli was a little hesitant.

 “Go.”

“Let’s just say hello in advance, that young eagle of Dressrosa is pretty good.”

The blond man waved his hand and spoke with a chuckle.

"yes!"

　　Although Deli was still full of doubts in his heart, he still retreated.

 Knowing that Deli has disappeared.

The blond shook his head and chuckled.

 He didn't pay too much attention to this.

 He did not suffer any loss.

 A purple golden grass that can only be stored for half a year. Even if it is auctioned, it is estimated that there will not be too many people interested. At most, it will only be fifteen thousand to more than twenty thousand gold coins.

As long as the Dressrosa family can give 20,000 gold coins, it is naturally not a problem to directly give Zijincao.

 The Dressrosa family is also not at a loss. After all, it is a safe way to get it and avoid various accidents.

Of course, this kind of win-win situation is originally impossible. After all, the Assad family and the Dressrosa family are not that friendly.

But because of Thor, Count Assad didn't mind showing kindness.

 After all, he had learned a lot about the Northland Province some time ago, and these things allowed him to vaguely see the rise of a noble.

 As a businessman, speculation is undoubtedly the most profitable activity.

 This time it is considered a preliminary speculation.

 “Thor Dressrosa!”

Count Assad whispered.

　　Then he couldn't help but shake his head and continued to taste his own red wine.

This is just a random speculation, so there is no need to be too concerned about it.

 On the other side, Thor and others soon waited for Deli's return.

“My lord, the earl, said that the Purple Golden Grass can be given directly to several adults, and only 20,000 gold coins are required.”

 Deli spoke respectfully.

"this!"

 Hearing Deli's words, several people couldn't help but be a little surprised.

 Especially rupees.

 He knows the rules of the Assad Chamber of Commerce.

Even if it is intercepted, it still needs to be bid, and you can buy it directly at any time.

 Just compared to their shock.

Thor couldn't help but smile.

 He did not expect that the situation would be smoother than he imagined.

The Assad family even gave it to him directly.

 As for twenty thousand gold coins.

The price is indeed a bit expensive.

  But this thing is not a question of whether it is expensive at all, but a question of whether it can be obtained.

"Can!"

 “When the payment will be made.”

Thor opened his mouth and agreed directly.

"anytime!"

 Deli nodded and answered softly.

"OK!"

 “Here are twenty thousand gold coins.”

Thor nodded and then handed over two different gold cards.

In this world, similar to banks, the monetary system has already been established. After all, when trading 10,000 gold coins, you can never really bring 10,000 gold coins with you.

 The two empires established a new system based on this, using bronze cards, silver cards, and gold cards as units of measurement for large-value commodities.

 A bronze card is worth 10,000 copper coins, a silver card is worth 10,000 silver coins, and a gold card is worth 10,000 gold coins.

 “Okay, wait a moment!”

 Deli nodded.

 Soon he retreated again.

This time, just a moment later, a wooden box was brought over by the attendant and handed to Thor.

Thor took it, checked it carefully, and asked Ruby to check it again to make sure it was correct, and then nodded.

 “Thank you very much!”

Thor spoke softly.

"My lord, this is serious. If you have any other instructions, you can call me at any time."

Deli smiled and then retreated.

 Just waiting for Deli to retreat.

 Looking at the wooden box in their hands, Ruby, and Maurice were still a little unbelievable.

“Thor, you are actually familiar with the Assad family!”

“This family has a lot of dissatisfaction with our Dressrosa family due to matters related to the Nanyue Province. Although there is no big problem, they are still not popular with us.”

　　Rupee sounded with an unexpected sound.

“Yeah, I used to go to the Assad family, and those guys didn’t give me much good looks.”

Morris was equally curious.

The two people's eyes converged, making Thor feel a little embarrassed.

 “Just luck!”

 “I met a scion of the Assad family in the Northland Province.”

Thor smiled and explained.

"I see!"

Ruby couldn't help but nodded after listening to Thor's words.

 There was a sense of clarity in his expression.

Northland Province is very special. As a new pioneering land, every pioneering lord there is a competitor, and it can also be regarded as a cooperative existence.

  After all, the real enemy is the orcs, the warcraft.

In this case, the slight conflict between the Assad family and the Dressrosa family is really not a problem.

 It is normal for them to have intersections with each other.

“Hey, Thor, you keep talking like this, I want to go to the Northland Province to explore.”

Morris couldn't help but spoke with some annoyance.

"Hahaha, Maurice, the Northland Province is not so easy to open up. Thor can do it because Thor is strong enough."

"Others may not be the same. That idiot of the Emerson family even lost their territory, and now it is said that they are all back in despair."

 Ruby spoke seriously.

As the Knight Commander of the Pat family, he knows a lot.

The Northland Province seems to be extremely easy in his brother's mouth, but he understands how difficult it is. This is the main reason why he has not made up his mind to let his son go to the Northland Province.

  After all, there are only a few people as successful as Thor.

The Dressrosa family has had countless pioneering knights in the past, and only one out of ten has truly become a noble.
