The old mage narrowed his eyes slightly.
He stared at Link impolitely.
Although Joisse was a grade-9 mage, he was also a businessman. He had been in the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce for decades and had seen all kinds of people. His sharp eyes could almost see through a person's inner thoughts from their expressions.
But Joisse realized that he couldn't see through Link.
This young Elf King was calmer than he had imagined.
The smile on his face was also very gentle, as if the incomparably domineering words just now were not said by him at all.
Joyce fell silent.
He felt that this Elf King was too calm.
"Could it be that the nature elves have found another chamber of commerce that is willing to cooperate?”
Joisse guessed this because Link had stopped the trade of fresh fruits and honey. But now, there might be tens of thousands of elves in the territory of the nature elves. With so many nature elves, the daily consumption of fresh fruits and honey was definitely very large. The barren Dark Night Forest simply could not satisfy them.
There was only one possibility.
Now that the nature elves had a new partner, they no longer needed to rely on the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce.
It was also because he was no longer restricted by their Chamber of Commerce that this young Elven King had spoken without thinking and directly raised the price of elven equipment by 20 times. This was to make them retreat.
Yes, that must be the case!
Joyce suddenly became a little angry.
Over the years, the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce had earned a large amount of gold coins from the nature elves. Whether it was selling fresh fruits and honey to the elves or buying elven equipment from the elves, the generous nature elves could make their Chamber of Commerce profit.
But now, such a golden mountain was actually stolen by another Chamber of Commerce.
How could he endure it?
" Your Majesty Link," Joisse said," I hope you understand that no other merchant association in Sapphire City has the guts to enter the Dark Forest other than our Bauhinia Merchant Association. Don't be deceived by those people."”
Link's smile didn't change.
He knew that the old mage had misunderstood, but it was normal. If one did not enter the forbidden area of the elves, no one would know that the elves had the Moon Well that could gather the Water of Life.
He now had six Moon Well.
Even if the population of the elves doubled, they could still afford it.
With the Water of Life, why would he need fresh fruit and honey?
Link's smile gradually disappeared. He said coldly,"As the Elven King, I know very well who is deceiving our nature elves. Other than elven equipment, I also have a large number of magic nuclei, gems, and exquisite gold and silver items. If you want to buy them, you must give me a price that I am satisfied with.”
He clapped his hands.
An elf carried two wooden boxes into the hall.
He opened the wooden boxes. One of them was filled with magic nuclei, while the other was filled with exquisite gold and silver utensils.
Knight Commander Conrad picked up a piece of gold and silver equipment and frowned.""Your Majesty Elf King, this seems to be a tool made by us humans. I remember that half a year ago, a merchant group of our Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce was robbed at the outskirts of the Dark Night Forest. All the gold and silver items we were transporting were stolen.”
"Perhaps these gold and silver items were stolen from your merchant association," said Link.”
These gold and silver items were seized from the gnome kingdom, and the gnomes also obtained them by robbing human business groups. Among these gold and silver items, there might really be some from the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce.
Conrad's expression changed slightly.
His large hand, which was covered in calluses, involuntarily grabbed the hilt of the knight's greatsword.
He looked at Link with a dark expression and said,"Your Majesty, do you mean that it was you nature elves who robbed our merchant group?”
Swoosh!
A dazzling magic arrow shot towards him.
Conrad raised his knight's greatsword and blocked the magic arrow.
With a boom, the magic arrow exploded.
Conrad, a knight captain of the ninth step, was also forced back a few steps by the powerful magic power. When he slowly put down the knight's sword, his hands were trembling.
Conrad looked up at Agatha, who was holding a magic staff.
She was an elven mage of the ninth step. The elven magic she cast was even more powerful than Joisse's.
"Nature elf, why did you attack me?" Conrad asked angrily.”
Agatha exuded a holy aura as she said with a cold gaze,""Human knights, don't try to slander the elven king of our nature elves. That will make all of you sleep in hell!”
Conrad's expression changed drastically.
Just as he was about to say something, Great Mage Joisse stopped him.
"Conrad, I believe that the nature elves who advocate peace wouldn't do such a thing," said Joyce. According to the information we gathered, the ones who robbed our caravan were a group of greedy goblins.”
"I misunderstood!"
Conrad put away his knight sword.
Joisse's words were giving him a way out, telling him not to dwell on this matter that had long passed. Even if the nature elves did it, they could only pretend not to know. This was because this was the territory of the nature elves, and there were tens of thousands of elven armies in this territory.
If tens of thousands of arrows were fired, they would not even have the chance to pray to the God of Light.
" Honorable Elven King," Joisse said." Our Chamber of Commerce wants all the magic nuclei and gold-silver items here. We can sit down and discuss the price."”
" This is only a small portion," Link said calmly." I still have more gold and silver equipment and magic nuclei. I also have more than a hundred magic gems that give off a beautiful luster. If you want to take them away, you have to pay me 90% of the market price in gold coins.”
Joyce took a deep breath.
He thought to himself that the nature elves were indeed worthy of being so rich.
But then, he revealed a bitter smile.
This young Elven King seemed to be even more obsessed with gold coins than the dragons.
90% of the market price?
No matter which city it was in, there was no such price!
"Your Majesty Link, we can only offer 70% of the market price.”
"I believe that in Sapphire City, there will be many chambers of commerce willing to cooperate with our nature elves.”
"This…"
" Your Majesty Link," Joisse said with an ugly expression," our merchant association has been working with the nature elves for so many years. If it weren't for the fresh fruits and honey we brought you…"
Link looked at him calmly.
"Selling fresh fruits and honey to our nature elves at a high price, and buying our elven equipment at a low price. Your Chamber of Commerce must have earned quite a bit over the years!”
"Your Majesty Link, there's no such thing!”
"I'm very sure if there is!"
"Since you've mentioned our past cooperation, I'll tell you now," Link said calmly. If your Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce wants to continue trading with us elves, you must first pay two million gold coins as compensation. Otherwise, the trade caravans of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce would be banned from entering the Obscure Forest forever.”
WTF？
Joyce was instantly stunned.
This young Elven King had turned hostile faster than the weather in the Wailing Sea.
The deal hadn't even been completed, and their Chamber of Commerce was actually going to pay a huge amount of compensation?
