Chapter 28 New Fire Ceremony (13)

As firewood was split apart, the sharpness of the iron axe surprised everyone.

"This axe is so fast!" The onlookers praised, "Which city-state stone was used?"

"Stone?" Amy thought these questions were quite interesting. "It's really stone, it's iron ore!"

"Iron ore? In which city-state is this thing sold?"

"Aztland probably didn't have these things. They were transported from the opposite side of the sea and were wandering on the boat for months!"

"Ah! I've heard of it from the opposite side of the sea! Tessomok took people to conquer there with his newly built warships, so these things are tributes of the Sun King, aren't they?"

“Tribute? Can tribute be sold on the market?”

"The Sun King can't use so many things alone, of course they are all sold in the market. If you don't talk about this, how much does your axe cost?"

Amy smiled and raised a few fingers.

"avocado?"

“Cocoa beans.”

The crowd immediately sighed: "This is too expensive, I can't afford it, I can't afford it."

However, although they couldn't afford it, they still had to watch the free fun. After watching the chopping firewood, they watched the pirates cut leather with daggers and cut meat with an axe. Finally, Amy asked the pirates to knock the iron sword on the ground vigorously, and replaced it with obsidian. If they hit it like this, they would probably have broken the ground, but the iron sword was just a little blunt, and they were sharpened on the whetstone and quickly became sharp again.

People were drooling in seeing it, but they couldn't afford it, so they could only shake their heads in front of the stall and exclaim.

"Chief of Staff, are our price set too high?" Neilmar whispered to Amy, "Although the current price is rich, it is impossible for civilians to afford it. It will be difficult for us to sell out the goods. Even if we use avocado and take it back for gold, it will be much higher than the profit in China."

Amy shook her head and rejected without thinking: "His Majesty spent several months transporting this ship of cargo here on the flying Zelans. Did you sell it at a bargain price? You also have to count the time of freight, the time of traveling to merchants, the military expenses of more than a thousand people for several months, and the profits of other goods. We transported this thing to Aztland, but we didn't sell it to civilians!"

"But the King of Sweden has shipped more goods this time, and more than 10,000 swords. If we don't sell them to civilians, it will be difficult for us to sell them out."

"It was like this before, but it's not now. It's not a waste of time for us to attack that city-state. Wait, even at this price, these things will definitely be sold."

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud voice suddenly came from the crowd: "We have all of you weapons."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a man in a colorful cotton robe walking towards this side with big strides. Just looking at the clothes, Amy knew that this was a rich man. She heard passers-by whispering: "It's the subordinate of the weapons merchant Akumistri."

The visitor approached the stall and glanced at Amy's goods: "How much do you have these weapons? We're asking for them all."

Amy raised her hand silently and signaled a price.

"It's cheap. Can I take it all with me after I pay this little money?"

“The price of one.”

"Don't be too outrageous!" The visitor drank in surprise, "The price you set is more than three times that of Maquowit!"

"The performance is more than ten times." Amy smiled, "Why, do you want to buy them all?"

Next to Amy, two pirates were fighting with iron swords and obsidian weapons respectively. "Clang, Clang, Clang". After several collisions, the obsidian weapons were shattered all over the floor.

The visitor looked at the obsidian on the ground with a dark face and said, "You are waiting here. I'll let our boss come over."

In the evening, the man came over with a brighter dress. Amy quickly judged the identity of the man based on his clothes. He was dressed gorgeously and was obviously a wealthy family, but there was no green decoration, which meant that he was not a nobleman. Listening to the talk of passers-by, this was the weapon merchant Akumistri himself.

As Amy watched Akumistri, Akumistri also stared at the obsidian fragments on the ground. After a brief silence, he squeezed a bright smile on his face and said respectfully:

"What a rare treasure. Could it be that this is the gravel sword created by Master Quilakiri in the rumor? There are so many sources of goods. Are you a disciple of Master Quilakiri?"

"There are always people mention the name Quilakiri, but in fact I haven't seen him yet." Amy replied, "This is an iron sword. I have also seen Master Quilakiri's gravel sword, as if it were a bronze sword. In terms of toughness, his sword cannot compare to our sword."

When Amy heard that she didn't know Quirakiree, Akumistri immediately restrained her smile and felt a little arrogant on her face. When Amy heard Amy say that the performance of the iron sword was stronger than that of the bronze sword, he hummed even more disdainfully.

"The foreigner is indeed a foreigner. He doesn't know how powerful the gravel sword is." He shook his head and said, "The morning mushrooms do not know the new moon, and the cicadas do not know the spring and autumn. I will not argue with you about these. Your swords can break obsidian, which is also an amazing product. I have accepted all these swords, so you can count them."

The minion who had been here before threw a bag full of cocoa beans at Amy. A pirate took the bag in the air, opened the bag and counted the number, and shook his head at Amy: "Not enough. It's a lot worse."

"It's a lot, it's worth the same as the value of Maquowit," said Akumistri. "It's not easy for a foreigner to do business in Tenochtitlan, especially in the weapons industry. If I don't accept this product, it's hard for you to find a way out. Instead of thinking about selling these products here, it's better to sell them to me at a low price, then buy some other best-selling products, go to other places to do business and continue to make some money, right?"

Amy shook her head: "We are not in a hurry to sell. I ordered a price of three times that of Maquowit, and it wouldn't be enough to lose one cocoa bean."

"Don't be more tempted!" the servant who had been here before shouted, "Mr. Akumistri is willing to buy your goods, and it is already very favorable for you. Tell you, this Mr. Akumistri is a friend of the local Tratoani. If you offend him, don't try to sell anything here!"

Akumistri shook his head and smiled, "Why be so greedy? Child, I know you want to make a lot of money, but it is not a good thing for people to swallow an elephant in a lack of heart."
