Chapter 132 A Fair Price (2/2)

Then she gave a polite nod of her head and continued on her walk past, her servant leaving the stamped coin in Ebony's possession.

The crowd was silent for a moment, then the original man spoke up, ”Forty Gold”.

Ebony measured the tone of his voice, and nodded, offering one the of remaining four crystals to him.

Ebony strolled into the warehouse, weighed down by the bag of gold coins she held. The remaining crystals had sold for a total of 180 gold coins, bring her total for the day to 335 Gold coins. She was only 65 Gold Coins from what they'd spent to buy five and a half thousand crystals.

”Well,” said Aegin as he caught sight of her, ”I take it you sold them”.

Ebony let the bag of gold coins drop onto the table beside him, then she reached into her pocket and withdrew a crystal from it, only this one was marked with simple outline of a pair of scales.

”This Truth Charm is really something,” said Ebony as she looked over a Rassa who sat casually as he carved another rune into one of the many crystals, ”Though I still can't agree that it's fair to charge them this way”.

Aegin scoffed, ”I think its genius. Only selling it to them when they think they've paid a fair price? Wemake no enemies and they get a way to save their own lives. More than once I might add”.

”With the way they reacted, we could have made the money back easily if we'd set a base price,” Ebony stated.

”We could have, yes,” Rassa agreed, ”But we also would have wasted a lot of crystals. After all, I can make more than just protection charms, and I'm not going to waste this haul on something so simple”.

”And what about Jeremiah? These crystals were brought with the Token money, they're technically Token property,” said Ebony.

”And with the amount of profit we'll make, we can pay for the crystals we happen to take out of the original stock,” Rassa replied.

”Then we're not going to stockpile the money for something else?” asked Aegin.

”We'll have plenty of opportunities to make money,” Rassa scoffed, ”I'd rather not have any debts first”.

”Speaking of opportunities,” Ebony stated, taking out the coin the woman had given her, ”A young woman expressed her interest in a business deal with us if we're interested”.

”Oh?” asked Rassa, ”That was quick, who was this woman?”

”She didn't say her name,” Ebony replied, ”But she gave me this”.

Ebony handed Rassa the coin. Rassa looked at it for a moment, the symbol on the coin was of an Apple Tree with the words 'Apple Star Trading Company' written around the edge.

”I've never heard of Apple Star,” Rassa admitted.

”It was only created recently in Lovolon,” Aegin spoke up, ”Only in the last couple of years. They specialise mostly in fabrics”.

”And yet their symbol is an apple tree,” said Ebony.

Aegin shrugged, ”I'm not personally acquainted with the leader, when you find them, ask”.

Rassa frowned at the coin for a moment, ”For now, do nothing. Let word spread and if others come with offers then say nothing to them either other than accepting their goodwill as you did today”.

Ebony nodded, ”Alright, then no business deals?”

”Not until we work out how long we'll be here. No use making a business deal if we're not staying in the Southern Isles. After all, it is only us,” said Rassa.

”You want to go further south?” asked Aegin.

Rassa shrugged, ”We were only here because this is where The Miranda sailed. It's hardly an adventure if we stop at the first spot that's new”.
