Elf Lord, intelligence updated daily.

Chapter 57 Dragon Egg Trade
More than 600 pieces of magic ore were sold for a total of 57 gold coins.

Liz also unearthed a magic ore, which Loren planned to keep for himself.

"Liz, approximately how much magic ore can we still dig out of the mine?" Loren asked.

"My lord, the current excavation progress is about two-thirds complete, but we should be able to dig out more magic ore and spirit stones later."

"Alright, you continue leading the mining team. After the mining mission is completed, I will provide the knights with Demon Flame Stones as a reward."

"Yes!"

Liz continued leading the knights in mining.

Centaurs and knights from Sandstone Town gradually joined the construction work.

They can earn extra pay through these jobs.

Of course, this work can only be done after the daily training session ends.

Windsor insisted on staying at the castle as a maid.

Fran sang "woo-woo-woo" in the castle every day.

Millie has been going to the flower nursery often to chat with the florist lately.

Lilia goes to the food street every day to eat and drink for free.

And the thorny elm spirit insect has finally undergone evolution.

As the fast-growing thorny elm undergoes mutation, the thorny elm nymph enters the fat pupal stage.

Loren summoned a knight.

"Captain Danny, take a few men and go to Blackwood Town to see if there are any new elm trees. If so, transplant a few over."

"Yes, my lord!"

Loren simply couldn't spare the time.

He needs to go to the coastal town next to buy dragon eggs from Hela.

The monthly intelligence reports provided a great deal of crucial information, and Loren found himself overwhelmed.

Next month should be the annual intelligence report, right?
Daily intelligence provides information on the sprite insects.

Monthly intelligence provides information on dragons and the queen.

What about the annual intelligence?

Loren dared not think about it.

There might not even be any annual intelligence report at all, so don't be disappointed.

57 gold coins, 57 boxes of dragon coins.

It would be difficult to transport goods without several horse-drawn carriages.

To avoid attracting attention, Loren could only leave the money in Sandstone Town.

Regardless of the final price, we should negotiate with Hella first.

"Little Deer, come with me to Nearshore Town." Loren found Lilia.

Lilia has been living a very comfortable life lately.

Loren was right.

There are delicious foods everywhere in Shashi Town.

Although the price of enjoying delicious food is being ridden by Loren...

"Are there good things to eat in the coastal town?" Lilia asked, tilting her head.

"Yes, there is plenty of seafood over there."

Lilia's eyes lit up. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Loren flipped over and straddled her back. "Don't rush, run slowly."

"Good~"

Before leaving, Loris entrusted all the affairs of the nearshore town to the butler.

Now, almost all the knights in the coastal town are those she trained herself.

The knights sent by Earl Lorton have been taken by Loris to a small island in the near sea.

As a result, they were unable to convey the specific situation of the coastal town to the Earl.

With a housekeeper in charge, all the complicated affairs of the coastal town can be handled properly.

However, since the lord was not present, no one had the right to trade with caravans passing through the coastal town.

Upon arriving in the coastal town, Loren and Lilia stayed at the castle.

A few days later, Hela finally came to visit.

She was dressed as usual, in a loose black robe and wearing a dark blue mask.

"Why are you all alone? Where's Loris?" Hela asked.

"She was ordered to guard the east coast and should not be able to return for some time."

Loren paused slightly before asking.

Did you find anything good in the Ocean City?

Hela hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid you can't afford it."

"Oh? So you really have something good? Take it out and let me see!"

Hela thought for a moment, then took out a pale blue egg. The egg emitted a chilling, frosty aura, making the entire hall feel much colder.

Frost Dragon Egg!

Suppressing his excitement, Loren asked, "What is this?"

"Dragon eggs!"

Loren's heart skipped a beat. Did Hela know this was a dragon egg?
He feigned a disdainful expression, "Who are you trying to fool?"

"Who's lying to you? This is a genuine dragon egg, stolen from the Frost Lord by the siren of the Ocean City!"

"Tsk, do you even believe that yourself?"

Hela wore a mask, so her expression was not visible.

Loren decided to change the subject, "Could you take off your mask? It feels weird talking to me with a mask on."

Hela didn't think much of it.

Since Loren and Loris already know her identity, it doesn't matter if she takes off her mask.

Are all marine species beautiful?

Hela became wary. "What do you mean?"

"No, I was just asking casually." Loren was curious about Hela's body beneath her black robe. "You don't have a fish tail growing under your robe, do you?"

Hela rolled her eyes at him. "Then how am I supposed to walk?"

"Hmm...that makes sense."

After persuading Hela to remove her mask, Loren got back to the main topic.

"Don't give me that nonsense. How much do you want to sell this monster egg for?"

"Ten million."

"Ten million copper coins? That's about 2.5 gold coins. Isn't that a bit expensive?"

Hela stared coldly at Loren. "Ten million gold coins!"

Loren shook his head and smiled. "Miss Hela, don't joke like that. Do you really think it's a dragon egg? Give me a realistic price."

Hela fell silent.

She didn't know how to price it either.

The person who sold her the egg did indeed tell her it was a dragon egg.

Of course she didn't believe it.

How could a dragon egg only sell for 300,000 gold coins?
But this monster egg looks anything but ordinary.

She always felt cheated if the bid was too low.

"How much can you give?" Hela asked Loren.

Loren didn't mince words. "10 gold coins, that's all it's worth."

"One hundred thousand!? That won't do."

Wouldn't she have lost 200,000 yuan for nothing?

"Two hundred thousand?"

"not enough!"

"Then let's make it 300,000, that's the most we can go."

"It's still not enough!"

"I see, Miss Hela, you only spent around 300,000 to buy this egg, right?"

Hela was startled.

How did you figure that out?

She forced herself to remain calm, "Stop talking nonsense. This pet egg is worth at least one million, no less!"

"Miss Hela, you do look very good when you try to appear calm."

Unfortunately, your expression has already given you away.

"You bought something for 300,000, and now you're selling it to me for a million? Isn't that going too far?"

Hela felt dizzy when Loren spoke with such certainty.

How could he guess so accurately just from his expression?

No wonder this guy wanted her to take off her mask; that's why.

Despicable humans!
“Miss Hela, don’t be angry. We’re friends, and I even saved you last time. Just tell me how much money you want to make from me.”

Hela glared fiercely at Loren.

This damn guy.

They even resorted to moral blackmail!

How can she continue to ask for high prices?

"I spent all my savings to buy this, you have to let me make some money, right?" She cried, looking extremely aggrieved.

Loren pretended not to see it.

"Then let's go with 320,000. That's like you getting 20,000 gold coins for free..."
