Otherworldly Gem Merchant
Chapter 58
Two people, a goblin and an orc, walked on the road leading to the main house.
Yan Xiu paid attention to the surrounding environment while walking.Should it be at least where the leader of the West District lives?Although it is not as high-tech as the ancestral farmer's house, it is still rich and majestic enough - they are clearly the best they can achieve.
This made Yan Xiu a little curious about what kind of person this Mrs. Na Lian was.As soon as you hear 'Madame', you know it's a woman, and Madam Nalian should be a powerful figure who can become the leader in this chaotic place in the West End.
Pass through the vestibule and enter the main room. A woman in a black lace dress is sitting on a chair in the middle of the room.
The orcs took them to the door of the house and stood still at the door. The goblin ancestor Nong led Yan Xiu and Dewey into the house.As soon as they entered the room, the woman who was sitting gracefully raised her head and looked at them, "Hello, my guests."
"Hello, dear Madam Nalian." The goblin Zunong greeted the sitting woman very politely.
Yan Xiu looked at the woman sitting - Mrs. Na Lian, this was a woman that Yan Xiu found indescribable.She looked very elegant, her long golden hair was tied up behind her head, and she was wearing a black gauze, and she looked at them gently with blue eyes.At the same time, what surprised Yan Xiu the most was that it seemed to be a human female.
"You seem to have some doubts." Madam Nalian stood up from the chair, the black skirt swaying with her steps.She walked up to Zu Nong, "Your friend will be human, Zu Nong."
"You are human too, Mrs. Na Lian." Zu Nong didn't want to continue talking nonsense with Na Lian, it came here today because of something. "Nalian, I have to tell you, I'm not here to chat with you today."
"Is it for your human friends?" Na Lian seemed very interested in Yan Xiu and De Wei.It was the first time she saw Zunon bring humans to her, goblins are not a race that likes humans.She also had a hard time building a friendship across races with this goblin. "Please sit down as you please."
There are four chairs beside the white round table, exactly one for each person.Except for Zu Nong who struggled a bit when he wanted to sit on the chair, the other three humans sat down quickly.
"Hehe, Zu Nong, you really haven't grown at all." Na Lian smiled and looked at Zu Nong, who climbed the chair and got sweaty forehead.
"Hey, can you not mention this matter? Goblins are only so tall!" Zu Nong sat on the chair, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was very dissatisfied with Na Lian's words.The goblin is only this tall, if it were a human, it could easily sit on a chair, okay?Humans can't get into the goblin's house!
"I haven't heard you introduce your human friend yet." Na Lian first called the waiter to order a few more cups of tea, and then continued to look at Zu Nong with a smile.Na Lian's smile made people feel peaceful.
"This is Hughes and Dewey." Zunon didn't want to mention how it knew these two humans at all, it was not a pleasant memory.After taking two sips of tea, Zu Nong said, "This time, I came to visit you because of Hughes."
"Oh?" After hearing Zu Nong's words, Na Lian's interested eyes fell directly on Yan Xiu.After seeing such a beauty like Yan Xiu, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched, "Isn't it because of Hughes' face that he wanted to be a robber?"
"Your idea is too strange, although it's not impossible." Zu Nong obviously knew Na Lian's character very well, and didn't take Na Lian's words to heart at all. "Although I admit that he does have a pretty face, Na Lian, you won't know why I brought him to you. I hope that even if you can't make a move, you can keep this secret."
It was very funny for Zunon's green skin to make a serious expression, but Na Lian knew it was not a ridiculous thing, because it meant that Zunon was serious.And a person who can make a goblin show such an expression, Na Lian also restrained her previous jokes, and replied solemnly, "Please tell me, I can foresee that this is a very exciting thing."
"I want to rent a shop in your black market for Hughes." Zu Nong glanced at the paralyzed Hughes next to him, with a calm expression - Hughes' face is actually not so cold after seeing too much.
"Can you tell me why you rented a shop in my black market for Hughes?" Nalian stretched out her slender fingers and tapped on the table, "What do you want to sell, Hughes."
Yan Xiu didn't interrupt from the beginning until Na Lian threw the question to him.
"Look, it's this." Yan Xiu took out a piece of Hierro crystal from his pocket and put it on the white table.The moment he put the spar on the table, he clearly saw that Na Lian's face changed a little.
"...Zunong, I have to say, your behavior is very risky." Nalian looked at the Hierro spar that Hughes put on the table, feeling very complicated.She understood what the spar on the table represented, but at the same time she also understood that this was a great opportunity.Not everyone, like her, has the opportunity to choose whether to seize this opportunity. "I think I need to think about it."
"Of course." Zu Nong didn't urge Na Lian to make a quick decision.Because this matter is not about Na Lian alone, but about the number of gems in the entire Brandt Continent.
The gems of Hughes are like a batch of smuggled goods, which are not included in the fixed number of gems every year.For a family, if they cannot get a fixed annual output of gemstones, then the gemstones sold by Hughes will be their biggest target. In fact, most people on the Brandt continent do not Get any of those fixed amounts of gems.At the same time, Hughes' behavior will also offend those families that originally owned gemstone veins.Those families will not allow anyone to share their cake.
The goblins themselves don't want to touch anything that fights, and they spend their whole lives only burning for technology.The reason why Zu Nong brought Yan Xiu and Du Wei to find Na Lian was because Na Lian's black market was also within the scope of offending the interests of certain families—although this black market only existed in the city of goblins, compared to goblins, Na Lian Lian and Hughes are more likely to cooperate.Even though Na Lian looks so gentle, a woman who can be the leader of the black market will definitely not be as gentle and amiable as she appears on the outside.
Na Lian also has her own ambitions. —— Zu Nong has always believed so.
Yan Xiu did not urge.But he also knew that Zu Nong brought him here this time to win him a partner.No business can be supported entirely by itself.His shop sells gems, which is enough to cause him a lot of trouble.It is also a good thing for Yan Xiu to have a strong partner.
Na Lian looked at Yan Xiu with complicated eyes, just like her complicated heart.
Since she dared to be the leader of the West District, it was because of her strength and her ambition.A woman without ambition and perseverance can't be the leader of a district, or a place as chaotic as the West District.
The atmosphere in the room was very serious, no one spoke, but everyone knew that the moment was critical.
"Huh, Zu Nong, what should I say about you." Na Lian finally spoke, but she looked at Zu Nong with complicated eyes, and there was something that other people couldn't understand in her bi-color eyes.
"So, what is your choice, Na Lian." Zu Nong felt that he still had a certain understanding of Na Lian, but he was not absolutely sure.It is also a little nervous at the moment. Of course, it hopes that Nalian can cooperate with Hughes, so that it can get more gems and do more research.
To be honest, their goblin technology is indeed very powerful on Brandt, but it is not invincible.What's more, as long as the lifeblood of gems is not in their hands, no matter how powerful the force is, they can only follow the opponent's rules.They cannot afford any chance of damage to the gem veins.Because of this, they even took the initiative to drive away those thieves who went to the mine veins to steal gems for each other.
For ore, they will do anything.
Because they are black goblins, only for technology.
"I have to say, you know me very well. Therefore, I agree to cooperate with Hughes." Na Lian no longer looked at the goblin Zu Nun, but looked at Hughes instead.As long as she agrees to cooperate, then it will be a matter between her and Hughes, and it will have nothing to do with Zu Nong.
"Thank you very much." This sentence was not said by Zu Nong, but by Yan Xiu.As long as Na Lian agrees to cooperate, there will be nothing wrong with Zu Nong.Zu Nong himself understood this, so he didn't answer, but waited for Yan Xiu to say this.
"Since we have decided to cooperate, I think I have some questions, and you won't mind explaining them to me, right?" Na Lian's approach was very straightforward.She believes that since they have decided to cooperate, apart from the secrets that cannot be revealed—for example, where Hughes' gems come from, and some other information, they must communicate.
"Yes." Yan Xiu could understand Na Lian's thoughts naturally.A certain degree of trust must be given to the partner of cooperation, otherwise there will be no possibility of cooperation.It is impossible for anyone to cooperate with an object that they know nothing about, let alone an object that they do not trust.
"I'm very glad that we can reach a consensus on this point. I think that before I introduce your situation, I must tell you something about the black market itself." Na Lian will not let Hughes trust without saying anything For herself, she will also talk about some black market situations to gain Hughes' trust.
"As the outside world says, there is everything in the black market. This is a place where good and bad people are mixed together." Na Lian smiled when she said this, "There is everything in the black market, and you can sell anything. As long as you follow the rules of the black market, Then anyone, any race can trade here."
"I'm not afraid to tell you that even human trafficking exists in the black market."
While talking, Na Lian paid attention to Hughes' expression, and seeing that the latter didn't show any expression, she nodded in satisfaction.
"This is Brandt, and there are not as many rules as in other continents. Here, the size of the fist represents the weight of what you say." Nalian explained a little to prevent Hughes from feeling disgusted with the black market. "Of course, I I think that if you want to sell gems, then the black market is your best choice. You can’t open a store selling gems in any city openly.”
Yan Xiu nodded.
"If you sell gems in the black market, at least I can guarantee your safety and prevent anyone from finding out your information." On this point, Na Lian is still confident.
"thank you very much."
"What I need is not your thanks, I hope you will be a good collaborator." Na Lian kept a gentle smile on her face when she spoke, "Then, I want to know, can you tell Me, where did your gem come from?"
"No."
Yan Xiu answered decisively, he did not intend to deceive his partner Na Lian, cheating is not a good choice.He lied to Na Lian on this point, so after Na Lian found out, she would naturally wonder if he had lied to her on other points as well.
"Okay. So, roughly how many gems do you have?" The number of gems is related to the size of their business, and Na Lian will naturally take care of it.
"I'm not sure, I haven't counted it." Yan Xiu really hasn't counted how many gems he has, but he can roughly estimate the amount, "It can provide 30000 gems every month. From level one to level five Both."
Na Lian lowered her head and thought for a while, then nodded to Hughes briskly, "I understand, I will arrange everything about the store and publicity. Please rest assured."
"Thank you." Yan Xiu came here today because he was prepared to be troubled, but he didn't expect Mrs. Na Lian, the leader of the West District, to be so easy-going.
As for the store and publicity, it was naturally arranged by Na Lian.It doesn't make sense for him to provide gems and take care of these trivial matters. What's more, if he handles it, it's better to leave it to Na Lian, who is the leader of the West District.
"Pleasant to work with."
"Pleasant to work with."

Thank you swang for the two landmines. I was very surprised to see these two mines today. At the same time, there are some people who are motivated!
Thank you very much for your support.
