Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Business
"Faith and Fire Chamber of Commerce!" Looking at the badge of the Chamber of Commerce in front of the building, Aslan's expression became a little complicated. In his previous life, his main business was also the Faith and Fire Chamber of Commerce.
This chamber of commerce can be considered very rich in the province of Merlox, but unfortunately the young owner of the chamber of commerce has no brains. He rebelled with the drunk young master of Billy City, and they were suppressed together. The wealth accumulated by the family for nearly a hundred years was lost The great nobles were divided up.
At that time, he had already become the Marquis of the Merlot area. Although he did not participate in the suppression of the rebellion, because of his status, he also shared 20,000 gold coins, which shows how rich this belief and the Fire Chamber of Commerce are.
After entering the chamber of commerce, a beautiful girl came over and introduced Aslan to her.
Although Aslan is wearing a simple samurai uniform, the fabric on his body is the fabric that can only be bought in Kyoto. The material is much more recognizable than ordinary fabric. If you have the equipment, you know that Aslan is a master who is not short of money.
No matter in what era, the most important thing for a shopping guide is eyesight. It is very important to be able to tell whether the other party is a big customer at the first glance.
In fact, Aslan is a pauper. As for the equipment on the knight guards, they are all made by Aslan relying on his talent and magic, as long as the resources are equivalent.
"Take me to the magic equipment first." Aslan said very boldly.
When the shopping guide heard this, her eyes lit up, and she wished she could stick herself into Aslan's arms, making Jason next to him drooling.
The appearance and figure of the shopping guide ladies here are many times more beautiful than those cheap prostitutes in his tavern.
The first floor of Faith and Fire Chamber of Commerce sells common items, the second floor sells rare weapons and equipment, and the third floor sells precious magic equipment and props.
Walking around in the magic equipment exhibition hall, I touched almost all the magic props, but after a round, Aslan didn't buy any of them, which disappointed the shopping guide lady.
Aslan was bored and went to the second floor to take a look around. The weapons and props sold here tended to be knights and warriors, and the price was much cheaper than the magic props on the third floor.
Picking up a knight sword and looking at it, the magical simulacra is activated, and the material of the knight sword is immediately calculated. After all, no matter what weapon is in use, it is impossible to judge the quality of a weapon simply by its shape and appearance, but it can be judged from The material was judged to be excellent.
Moreover, after different magic elements undergo various treatments, the nature of the magic elements will also change accordingly. For example, pig iron becomes mature iron. Although the two are called iron elements, the values of the magic elements represented are different.
Aslan looked down at the price, twenty gold coins.
From the point of view of magic elements, the knight's cross sword is at best an iron weapon, but the knight's cross sword he made is a steel weapon. It is not too much to say that there is a world of difference.
"What a piece of crap! Gawain is worse than the sword you used." Aslan finished speaking and handed the sword to Gawain.
Gawain took the long sword and stimulated his fighting spirit, and the cross knight's sword instantly lit up with green light.
"Indeed, it's much worse than the long sword bestowed by the lord, especially in mobilizing fighting spirit." Gawain said very honestly.
Aslan nodded, took another look at the other weapons, and finally at the knight's armor.
A set of full-body knight armor costs up to 200 gold coins, but after inspection, the defense is indeed slightly better than the knight armor of the Knight Guards, but it weighs more than ten kilograms, and the joint movement is not as good as their knight armor. After all, their weapons The equipment was Aslan's imitation of Arthur's standard weapons, which were the standard knight equipment in Kyoto.
Although it is only the lowest end, the technology contained in it is still not comparable to a small border town like Billy City.
"No! The equipment here." Aslan continued shaking his head.
The shopping guide next to her was sweating constantly. If it wasn't for the fact that the knight armor and knight sword on Gao Wen's body were really better than theirs, she even suspected that Aslan had come to play on purpose.
Aslan's real purpose is to come here to study it, and the real purpose is to familiarize himself with the market conditions.
As for shopping, even the cheapest items on the first floor could not be afforded by Aslan's current financial resources, so he naturally felt disgusted.
"The weapons and equipment here are naturally not comparable to those produced in Kyoto."
A full of air, but with a hint of friendly tone sounded.
The shopping guide quickly bowed her head when she saw the person coming. Jason's face changed when he saw the person, and he said softly beside Aslan, "It's Mr. Shelson Lake, the vice president of the Faith and Fire Chamber of Commerce."
Hearing this name, Aslan narrowed his eyes slightly. He had been waiting for this person after wandering around for so long.
Shelson Lake is a business legend. The current scale of the Faith and Fire Chamber of Commerce cannot be separated from the efforts of this man.
The president of the Faith and Fire Chamber of Commerce, Thelma Lake, even declared publicly that the Chamber of Commerce would be fine without him as the president, but if it lost the vice president of Sherson, the Chamber of Commerce would likely plummet.
It can be seen how important Xie Ersen is to this chamber of commerce.
The reason why the Faith and Fire Chamber of Commerce jumped into the chariot of the young city lord was because Xie Ersen died of illness three months ago, so there was such irreparable sorrow.
"Oh, your excellency has good eyesight, so you can see it all." Aslan greeted with a smile.
Shelson said very generously: "When I was young, I was lucky enough to travel in Kyoto for a while."
Aslan also chatted with Xiersen about some interesting things about Kyoto. Xiersen was also very knowledgeable and took Aslan to the top floor.
Obviously, he also saw that Aslan was here to discuss business, not to buy anything.
Entering the reception room, the two sat facing each other, with only one person next to each other, and the others were in the corridor outside.
"Master Sara, I wonder what kind of business you want to discuss with me?" Sherson took a sip of black tea and said unhurriedly, at the same time revealing Aslan's identity.
"Oh! How do you know that I am the exiled young master of the Sara family." Aslan asked with great interest.
"Although the armor of the knights under your command is only the lowest-level knight-style equipment in the imperial capital, they can be equipped with so much. There should not be a few nobles around Billy City who have this strength. I have to admire the strength of the Sarah family. An exiled young master like you can be equipped with knight guards of this scale around him."
When Xie Ersen said this, he also had a dignified face. He really responded to the sentence that a dead camel is bigger than a horse.
"Haha!" Aslan couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
There was a hint of bitterness and sadness in that hearty laughter.
When he left Kyoto, only the guardian knight Arthur had this equipment, and everyone else was only equipped with ordinary soldier armor, and at that time, the strongest knight was only the middle-level knight Arthur.
As for the few possessions, it was the little savings left by his biological mother. As for his biological father, he even wished for him to die in another country, so naturally he would not give him any support.
"So! What do you think of this set of knight equipment?" Aslan said with a smile.
Sherson's eyes lit up, and a hint of cunning flashed in them.
"It's really good, but the price is too expensive, and the most expensive thing is not the most practical."
"Haha, indeed! But the best things must be the most expensive. And the things used by nobles must be the most expensive and gorgeous. My knight armor is more in line with the aesthetics of nobles." Aslan said unhurriedly.
