Sorcery Monarch Part 2

Chapter 293: A New Way of Cooperation

"20% above market price?"

Ralph contemplated for a moment, making Paris feel anxious.

Unexpectedly, Ralph didn't make things difficult and simply nodded with a smile, saying:

"That's unnecessary. We never raise prices suddenly in the Bay Territory. Each crystal is 1000 gold coins, which is also our purchasing price."

Hearing this, Paris was overjoyed internally, though he kept a calm facade.

Just then, Matthew spoke up:

"Is your territory preparing for battle? Why not purchase some arrows as well?"

Hearing Matthew's question, Paris's heart skipped a beat, but fearing a reversal on the spatial crystal deal, he quickly replied:

"Oh, we are short on funds and manpower, making it hard to buy and transport a large number of arrows."

"So, we can only use inferior arrows made in our territory."

"Next time, we will come to the Bay Territory with more people and funds."

"At that time, I hope the Lord can reserve some for us, and we can pay a deposit in advance."

"Although we have some iron mines in our territory, the quality is poor, the output is low, and the technology is lacking, far inferior to what the Lord has here..."

Matthew blinked, appreciating Paris's performance and adaptability, deciding not to push further:

"Oh, is that so? Then that's easy!"

"We don't just produce high-quality arrows in the Bay Territory; we also manufacture premium arrowheads."

"Arrowheads cost only a third of the full arrow price. You can take 100,000 arrowheads back with you."

Hearing this, Paris felt his joy vanish, replaced by a surge of unease, but he maintained his calm demeanor and said:

"Ah, that's great. With these arrowheads, we can handle the subsequent processing ourselves."

"However, with this, our prepared funds are still..."

Raising his hand slightly, Matthew displayed the privilege of nobility, interrupting Paris:

"It's no big deal. Next time, just bring more high-quality herbs from the Dark Forest."

"Though there are plenty of herbs in the Dark Forest, high-quality magical herbs are found only deeper inside."

"Although we've set up a druid greenhouse, we lack seeds and samples to cultivate more magical herbs..."

Paris felt his heart settle slightly.

Asking for something in return was good!

Unconditional generosity was unsettling!

Yet Paris still doubted that this seemingly straightforward lord was as simple as he appeared.

However, Paris didn't hesitate to promise:

"No problem. We have many high-quality magical herbs there."

"Since the Lord offers better prices, we're happy to do business with you."

Paris didn't know that during this conversation, Matthew had already gauged his limits.

The spatial crystals were crucial!

"It seems they are planning to execute an underground base combat strategy."
