Chapter 247 (2/2)
“Yeah, we have to quickly make a place for ourselves in Black Rock City.” ThornyRose nodded, as she brought them all into the city administration center.
Ye Cang returned to the general store and met up with everyone who had finished their quests. Besides experience and some gold, they didn’t get anything special. Unexpectedly, while Zhang ZhengXiong was cleaning a vase, he found a golden key inside. Ye Cang was prohibited from touching the key. Next, Lin Le had been promoted to manager in the chamber of commerce. The president was already treating Lin Le as his lucky charm, and had awarded him a silver handcart, which had 5 times the capacity of the previous one.
“Father, choosing those three hills in Callor Hills as your land was a very wise choice. There are many things we can exploit there. Besides the hidden crystal veins, I’ve predicted that there might even be an oil deposit, but we don’t have the power to exploit it right now. The church also requires magic crystals, so I think we should give about half to Grand Knight Mar, helping him get promoted. As for the rest of the magic crystals, we can’t do anything with our current identity. It’s too dangerous to keep it in the warehouse. Father, you’ve already attracted a lot of attention. If we get investigated, we might get convicted or have a bounty put on our heads.” Little Ye Tian had gathered some information and learned that there were already people asking about Ye Cang.
Ye Cang was a bit reluctant. How much money could we make if we sold it all? But it’s better to give it to Old Mar’s son rather than that damn swindler. Baron… F**k! “A’Xiong, Little Tian, go to the church and have him come to the general store.”
“Mm.” Zhang ZhengXiong and Little Ye Tian quickly headed towards the church.
SpyingBlade raised his brows. It turned out that they chose this city because they had a connection from Really New Village. To have connections with an influential person in the holy church was also very beneficial to himself. In the past games, many of the greatest assassins, if not working in the underground syndicates, would be affiliated with a holy organization.
Little Mar rushed over after hearing that it was an emergency. These were people his father told him to take good care of. Moreover, these were people who helped his father save Really New Village form the werewolf menace. He suspiciously came to the general store and saw Ye Cang. “Why the rush?”
“I have a batch of magic crystals…” Ye Cang slowly got up.
“You want to sell it to the church?” Little Mar exhaled, relaxing. How was this an emergency? It’s probably just a little batch of Magic Crystals. He then recalled that Really New Village was a small place, so they probably weren’t use to the scale of Black Rock City.
“How should I explain… I have about a mini crystal vein worth.” Ye Cang said. Little Mar nodded, then immediately realized what he said. What! He began to cough. A batch of magic crystals worth about as much as a mini vein!? Holy Crap! He turned and looked at Little Ye Tian and Zhang ZhengXiong furiously. “HeavenShakingMight, NightSky, guard outside! Don’t let anyone near!”
Zhang ZhengXiong and Little Ye Tian nodded and left.
“The story…” Little Mar saw a bottle of Really New Village’s wine on the side, and directly began drinking it.
Ye Cang explained from beginning to end. When Little Mar heard about the dwarf from the Steel Empire, he frowned. It was probably a thief trying to steal from their mine but was attacked by a beast. He understood now. So these guys got so lucky. They even collected it all, and sold two batches to Marquis Clay. So that’s how he got his baron medal. “Bring me to it…”
Ye Cang brought Little Mar to the few warehouses they were renting. Little Mar saw that the enormous amount in the warehouses, enough for Black Rock City to use for the next 4 years. He furrowed his brows in concentration. “You know this is a crime right?”
“Do you want it?” Ye Cang rolled his eyes. I know what kind of person your father is. You’re his son…
Little Mar saw Ye Cang’s unpleasant mood, and began to laugh. It seems he really was close to father. If I can get my hands on these goods, it would do wonders for my promotion. It looks like father sent me some lucky stars. He also knew why Ye Cang was giving these to him, so replied with a smile, “I’ll take 70% of it. You can keep the other ores and minerals. I’ll have some trusted aides come and move them later. It’s good that you came to me. If it was that old bastard Clay, humph, I’m afraid you would be screwed. I’ll try to get you an honorary title in the church. HeavenShakingMight and NightSky will also become my most trusted aides. In the future, you’ll receive many benefits.”
