Chapter 39: A Wave of Riches

“180!”

“200!”

“No, the highest price for mythril is 180 gold coins per pound. 200 would be impossible!” Arthur said stubbornly. Although he could ignore how many gold coins they had, it was impossible for him to ignore thousands of gold coins.

As Princess Angela’s executor, he had to do everything to protect Her Highness’ benefits and honor.

Some things that the Princess couldn’t do or couldn’t even think about doing would be done by him.

William and Lautner glanced at each other. They both knew that they wouldn’t be able to sell the mythril at more than 200 gold coins per pound in Blue Moon Town.

However, it was safe to do the trade here. They didn’t have to worry about an Elf exposing information about the transaction, or even get someone to steal and chase them.

“Let’s settle at this, 500 pounds of mythril, 180 gold coins per pound, so it’s a total of 90000 gold coins!” William nodded at Arthur.

Arthur looked completely annoyed. He didn’t have a good impression of William, or it could be said that he didn’t have any good impression of the Blackleaf forest’s Princes. “That’s right. If we make the trade now, you can bring the mythril over and you can leave.”

“How about we round it up and make it 100000 gold coins?” William asked carefully.

“…”

Arthur, who had already turned around, slowly turned back, his eyes cold as if asking if William thought he was a fool.

However, his endowment of being handsome ultimately still took its effect.

He didn’t know why.

Arthur’s impression points suddenly grew to 67 points, which happened to be William’s charm points…

Arthur didn’t know if he had become crazy, but he suddenly said, “It’s not an easy trip here for you either, so I’ll give you 91000 gold coins!”

William immediately stood up. “Settled. Lautner, get Nox to bring the mythril over so we can take the gold coins back!”

The transaction went very smoothly.

No matter whether it was the Blackleaf Elves, the Moonlight Elves or the Snow Elves, they all had something similar, and that was pride.

They would never cheat on such a transaction.

Unless it concerned their race’s fate.

Even if Arthur, who already regretted and blanked out after saying such a thing to William, had already run away…

As for that Princess who was raising a white little horse, they didn’t meet again.

William didn’t have any lingering feelings either. However, on his return trip, he wasn’t in too much of a rush. He got his men to rest for a few hours and have a big meal before they started their trip.

According to the mining speed now, they would be able to produce about 100 pounds of mythril every month. As such, William and Arthur made a deal, trading 50 pounds of mythril every month so that would give them a fixed income of 9000 gold coins every month.

“With the 91000 gold coins we got through this transaction, as long as my Lord uses it reasonably, with the gold coins we can get in the future, we will definitely be able to expand our town into a city within six months!” Lautner exclaimed slightly. “The Border Town seems to be in a good place now.”

Ever since they had arrived at the town, as the Lord, William’s rising speed wasn’t too slow. In fact, some would say that it was very fast.

Such as the iron mine and mythril mine that appeared suddenly, bringing a source of gold coins and building foundation.

There were the Dwarfs as well.

There were also those darn Orcs that brought much experience to the Elfin warriors in the territory.

You have to know.

Apart from training, eating magical beasts, and beating magic potions, NPCs could only increase their experience through fighting. If an NPC went through life and death battles, they would also be able to level-up several levels.

The growth of NPC warriors that weren’t defeated for a hundred battles was comparable to players.

This was why the levels of NPC warriors grew quickly with every new ceiling of levels with new updates of the game.

Lautner, who was originally level 56, was able to level up by 2 levels after fighting the pale Orc, whose level was higher than his, and arrived at level 58.

Although he was still a middle-leveled professional, he was still closer to the ceiling of level 70.

At this thought, William couldn’t help but glance at Lautner. He kept thinking about finding a strong monster for his bodyguard to arrive at the game version’s level ceiling.

Seeing that type of scheming gaze, Lautner slowly closed his mouth.

However, he still heard that word…

“Uncle, I heard there are man-eating monsters nearby?” William sat on his horse, asking in deep thought.

“Ah? Is there? Is there such a thing…?” The corners of Lautner’s lips twitched. Man-eating monsters lived in groups and liked dark and humid places, so they would usually choose to stay in caves near a lake.

Their ability?

Because they lived near lakes, they would find animals, magical beasts and anything that could move.

They were very strong…

William explained as though he didn’t understand anything. “How could there not be any? You know there are two mountain valleys to the south of the Border Town right? There’s a large lake in the middle and that is where the source of our rainbow river is.

“As for the ocean and that lake, I still have some thoughts.

“We can definitely build two ports near the lake and ocean and make some fishing boats. With that, not only will we broaden our food sources, we will make our food more abundant.

“However, if we want to approach the ocean, the quickest way would be to go via the lake. If not, we have to go around it and along the two mountain valleys. In that case, we would make some loses. Not only would the journey be harder, but it would also be dangerous too!”

“If my Lord has any questions, please ask. You don’t have to call me Uncle…” Seeing William blabber on, Lautner had no choice but to continue asking.

“How about you find some time and settle those man-eating monsters and the other monsters by the lake?”

“No problem.”

“Alright.” William nodded, ignoring Lautner’s crying face. There was no choice, he didn’t know how to reject William so he decided to carry it like a real man.

…

On their way back, nothing happened either.

The depths of the Blackleaf Forest were very dangerous. However, that was only for individuals or small groups. When faced with large groups, most magical beasts weren’t interested in taking them as food.

Similarly…

William had so many gold coins with them, he was afraid of having an accident, so he wasn’t interested in fighting the magical beasts they saw.

Finally.

They saw the Border Town.

William and his men finally sighed in relief. Odom stopped his work, coming forward to welcome the group with bright eyes.

“It has only been 6 days and my Lord is already back. You’re really quick!” Odom’s eyes were fixed on the boxes and boxes of gold coins…

Dwarfs and giant dragons had similar interests. They all liked bright, shining gold coins.

At the same time, Dwarfs liked to mine as well. That was why the old Dwarf empire and the seven current Dwarf kingdoms were all extremely rich nations and their wealth was incomparable to those normal human nations.

“Stop looking! I’ll increase your pay!” William waved a hand in front of his eyes. As he entered the town, he actually saw many unknown faces.

“Who are they?” William was a little curious. Did Curry bring the slaves over in advance?

Odom pointed at them. “They are all poor people from the Black Lava nation and Iron nation. They found out that the Border Town is expanding and paying for labor, so they came here to work.

“In the six days you left, we have had more than 200 new people. It seems like the numbers are going to grow as well!”

“Do they want to settle here?” William saw many young people. They were all good materials…

“Quite a lot of people have this thought. After all, a growing town is at least a hundred times stronger than those vampire-like nobilities in the human nations!” Odom exclaimed.

More and more people had joined the neutral camp because the human nobility system suppressed the peasants too much…
