"To show our sincerity, our caravan is willing to pay you 10,000 gold coins!" In Cecilia's eyes, these ten thousand gold coins were considered a toll fee. This sort of thing was not rare to her. There were often forces that could intercept their caravan.
Their attitude was also very simple and crude. If they could beat them, they would. If they couldn't win, they would run. If they were evenly matched, they could be 'friends' with each other. They had an 'if you don't provoke me, I won't provoke you either' attitude.
In a situation like today's, their caravan hadn't even had time to run before being suppressed and brought to Angel Castle, what else could she say? She could only pay the toll! Hopefully, this lord from another world would be more merciful. Otherwise, their caravan would lose a large sum of money before even reaching their destination and the profits of this trip would be even lower.
In that case she could only turn around and return to the Light Empire. However, Haru did not care about the ten thousand gold coins. What would he use the gold coins for? He even wanted to sell the gold coins he had to the Full Moon Chamber of Commerce. He asked with a calm expression, "Where is your caravan going through the Dark Forest?"
Cecilia respectfully said, "In reply to the Lord's words, we are going to the Endless Prairie to do some business with the magic beast tribes there!"
"Endless Prairie?" Haru was not unfamiliar with the name of this area because Aria's Golden Castle was located there. He had not expected that the Endless Prairie was actually adjacent to the Dark Forest.
Haru asked, "What areas are there around the Dark Forest?"
Cecilia replied, "To the north of the Dark Forest is the Death Swamp, to the west is the Endless Prairie, to the south is the Andes Highlands and as for the east, it is a wilderness, essentially a no-man's-land. Passing through the wilderness leads to the territory of our Light Empire."
She answered truthfully. Such information was not a secret. Many local powers knew this. It was just Haru, as a Castle Lord from another world, who had no magic maps and had a dark impression of the surrounding areas. Basically, he only knew the information about his area and didn't know much about the surrounding areas.
Haru asked, "From the looks of it, your Empire is not far from the Dark Forest?"
Cecilia said, "It is about two hundred thousand kilometers away. It's only because the uninhabited wilderness is just too large. Even though it isn't dangerous, it's not easy to pass through."
Haru looked at her and asked, "What business are you doing in the Endless Prairie?"
At the word, Cecilia hesitated for a moment because this was the secret of their caravan. However, when she thought of Haru's identity as a Castle Lord, she didn't hide anything and replied, "There is a gemstone called the Light of the Stars and Moons in the Endless Prairie. It's a specialty there. This kind of gem is extremely popular in our Light Empire and its value is also extremely high!"
As she spoke, she took out a thumb-sized blue gem. Even during the day, the blue gem still emitted an extremely dreamy light. It was indeed very beautiful!
"Lord, please take a look. This is the Light of the Stars and Moons!" She told him that noblewomen liked to use it as jewelry, and noblemen also liked to embed it on their decorative weapons to show their charm. In the Light Empire, wearing accessories with this gem had become a trend among the nobility. This also caused the value of the Moon's Light to become extremely shocking.
It was precise because of this that the caravan traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers across the wilderness and the Dark Forest. They wanted to go to the Endless Prairie to the west and find the magic beast tribes to do business.
As long as she could purchase a batch of the 'Light of the Stars and Moons', she could earn a lot. In the end, before the caravan could pass through the Dark Forest, it was intercepted by Angel Castle.
"Ah! So that's the case!" Haru recalled that inside his castle's warehouse, there seemed to be hundreds of these gems. There were also other types of gemstones. There were about thirty thousand of them. Most of those gems came from the Gnome Kingdom and a few came from other local powers that had been captured by Angel Castle.
Haru asked, "How much is this 'Light Of The Stars and Moons' worth? Well, Power Stone!"
Cecilia replied, "The value of one of these gems is comparable to fifty Power Stones. If it was purchased in gold coins, it would cost about one thousand gold coins."
Hearing this, Haru smiled. Looking at Cecilia, he said, "You don't have to go to Endless Prairie for this. Do business with me!"
Cecilia was puzzled. "Doing business with you?"
Haru said, "I have several hundred of these with me!"
Cecilia's eyes lit up immediately. To her, this was an unexpected joy. Haru continued, "I also have more than thirty thousand other gemstones, as well as a large number of gold coins, silver coins, gold and silver decorative weapons, Human Nobles' antique works of art and so on."
"This…" Cecilia began to pant. She wasn't just surprised. She was stunned. If they could conduct the business here, the caravan would not have to go to the distant Endless Prairie. They would be able to earn a large sum of money from the items they had obtained from Haru.
Suddenly, Cecilia was stunned. "Lord, do you even want to sell gold and silver coins?"
Haru asked with a smile, "What am I gonna do with them?"
Cecilia immediately fell silent. Obviously, if they wanted to do business with Haru, the common currency, the gold and silver coins of the various empires, would not work.
Cecilia asked, "What do you need, my Lord?"
Haru answered, "Power Stones, Magic Crystals, Wood, Stones, Refined Iron."
"…" Cecilia was a little dumbfounded. The first two things could still be understood. They were resources for cultivation. In the last three, iron could be used to create equipment. What was the use of wood and stone? However, she didn't ask about that. She was worried that there would be an accident if she pried into Haru's secrets too much.
Cecilia asked, "My Lord, may I see the goods?"
Haru nodded, "Sure!"
