Chapter Thirteen Black Iron
Cai Dao concentrated for a moment, and his eyes continued to scan the map a few times. Suddenly, he stared at a place on the map, and a confident smile appeared on his face: "Don't worry, Hei Iron Town is not a well-connected city. The road to the imperial capital must pass here, so as an important material, a part of Hei Iron must be transported to the imperial capital..."
Levine had told him before that minerals can be developed privately, but usually, some of the important minerals will belong to the country when mined. In this way, it can be roughly inferred. In fact, Cai Dao did not think that he had the ability to rob ore to escort the ore. Since black iron is an important material, it must be escorted by the army. But he was sure that since this town is a must-pass road, there must be someone in the town with black iron ore!
Instead of being passive, it is better to take the initiative. Thinking of this, Cai Dao smiled and patted the thoughtful Levine's shoulder: "Let's go, let's buy Hei Iron. Remember, we are going to buy to build weapons!" However, Cai Dao despised the information communication network of this world...
There is a tavern in Shumen Town, and there are not many surprising places in the tavern, just like most of the taverns in Perry. However, the unique tavern within a radius of 20 kilometers has become one of the most popular places to go. Today, there are many excited mercenaries gathered in the tavern, talking about things with arms around, or mercenaries from different organizations glaring at each other.
Seeing the scene of two gangs of mercenaries glaring at each other, the handsome blue-haired waiter ran over to accompany him to take care of him, cleverly eased the atmosphere between the two teams. The handsome young man then breathed a sigh of relief. If he fought, it would be a big and small trouble. He was thinking about how much tips he could squeeze out from the hands of these generous and stingy mercenaries. A crisp cry woke him up: "Phily, come and help!"
Philip quickly interrupted his reverie and rushed over to get busy. There were so many customers today, and they were all too busy. After the peak period, he could finally rest next to him and observe the guests thinking. However, what made him feel even more moved was the transaction that the mercenaries were talking about - a transaction of 200,000 gold coins!
Oh my God! With these 200,000 gold coins, you can do a lot of business and become a big merchant. After becoming a big merchant, you can make some contributions to the empire and you can get a title. By then, with the title, you can do bigger business. Is there anything more wonderful than this? Philip's head calculated in less than ten seconds. Once the 200,000 gold coins can be used, what changes can it bring!
Unfortunately... he sighed softly. When he was planning to continue working, two people appeared at the door of the tavern. He greeted him with a smile: "Two guests, please sit there!"
The visitor was Cai Dao and Levine. They sat down and ordered some drinks, and called the handsome young man. They took out a gold coin and gently turned it between their fingers: "I want to ask something, if your answer satisfies me, then..."
"Sir, just talk, it's hard to hide the news from Shumen Town from me!" Seeing this gold coin, Philip's eyes lit up immediately, and he wanted to immediately pat his chest to express his credibility.
"I just want to know where I can buy black iron. Don't be perfunctory to me, you know what I mean!" Levin looked at this handsome guy and always felt disliked. Could it be because of the young man's eyes looking at the gold coins?
Philip's eyes brighter. He observed the two of them carefully, nodded slightly, and whispered: "Of course, if both of them need it, I will have a piece of black iron ore on my hand!"
Cai Dao frowned slightly and then relaxed. If the refining was better, otherwise he would need to refine it himself, which would be a lot of trouble. Philip was about to continue saying that when his boss shouted his name, a ray of a businessman appeared on his face: "Please wait for me, I can come over soon!"
He was so happy that he used all his savings to buy black iron with the miner who had hidden himself in order to buy a good price. Now, the rich man finally came. But he was still very cautious because he not only bought it from the miner, but even bought a piece of refined black iron from a soldier who escorted black iron.
Cai Dao noticed that several mercenaries were looking at him frequently, and he became alert. Those mercenaries were obviously much smarter than other colleagues who were involved in drinking games. At this moment, they had already noticed that the two people in the corner looked like two wanted guys. After a glance, the magician in the middle could not hold back. He took out a scroll in his arms, shook it open, lowered his head and looked at the scroll, and his eyes were filled with excitement.
Levin followed Cai Dao's gaze and happened to see the magician shake the scroll open. His face suddenly changed drastically, and he attached himself to Cai Dao's ear and said: "That is a wanted golem scroll, they are likely to find us!"
The golem scroll? Cai Dao blinked and didn't understand it very much, then suddenly realized. I thought that this golem scroll must be something like a wanted picture, but I don't know how the world developed such a strange thing made by magic! Looking around, there were more than a dozen mercenaries gathered in this small tavern. It was not too difficult to kill them all, but the difficulty was to not reveal the news!
At this time, the four mercenaries stood up with a serious expression and threw down the silver coins and rushed to the door. Levin hurriedly told his companions about his guess: "Hey, they are probably going to contact their companions to chase us!"
"Then don't give them a chance to contact..." Cai Dao smiled, gently patted his palm on the table, and appeared at the door like lightning, smiling at the four shocked mercenaries: "Four, you haven't finished drinking, are you going to leave now? Why don't you stay and continue drinking?"
These four people were not stupid, and knew that the person in front of them was not something they could handle. They barely held their chests up and said nothing was wrong, "We have something to leave, can you give us a way!"
The situation here attracted the attention of other drinkers. The other mercenaries looked over and immediately noticed that Cai Dao's face was familiar. They quickly opened the golem scroll. The flashing portrait on it really looked very similar to Cai Dao. They were shocked and even more interested in moving!
"Give up the way? There is no way in the world, and I always rely on myself to open it up!" Cai Dao's smile became stronger, and the murderous intent hidden under his smile was also naked: "Go back, otherwise I would rather send you on another road... If you want to leave, stay for me!" Although he spoke to the four people, his eyes were not far away from the other mercenaries. When he saw the two mercenaries secretly fleeing to the back door, he sneered and raised his hand to lightly cut it down. He slashed a sword to cut the two into four sections, immediately shocking everyone present!
The mercenaries present were just garrison personnel, and there was not even a level five master, so how could they dare to fight Zong Wu? In the eyes of all mercenaries now, Cai Dao is Zong Wu!
The four of them obediently returned to the chair, with no blood on their faces and restlessness. Cai Dao smiled sarcastically and sat down at the table of the four mercenaries: "You know, I'm very curious. What kind of benefits are made you work so hard! Who gave them the benefits?"
The four mercenaries looked at each other, and one of them replied tremblingly: "Duke Newman gave a bounty of 100,000 gold coins, and the bounties of the Marquis and other families were as high as 100,000! Lord Zongwu, we are just small mercenaries, please don't kill us..."
Zong Wu? Cai Dao likes this title a little, and perhaps being called Zong Wu may not be a bad thing. However, he is not a fool who doesn’t know anything like a newcomer. He knows too well what 200,000 gold coins mean. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration in his mind, if he has these 200,000 gold coins, he can buy a large amount of ore!
Once this thought arises, it will irresistibly expand. He shook his head vigorously, and selling himself is not a good thing to pay attention! Seeing that Levin was interrogating these mercenaries, he waved to let the handsome waiter come over: "Will you give me your black iron?"
"I'm selling it to you!" Philip noticed Cai Dao's intention and mustered up the courage to correct Cai Dao's idea of trying to rob: "I'm willing to sell you the black iron, of course, I may give you some discounts at the price!" He really had the courage to sell things to wanted criminals!
Philip's fear and courage were mixed together, which made Cai Dao deeply curious: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you and then steal your black iron?"
"I will never doubt that you can kill me easily, but I will stick to principles. Trading can only be a transaction, not a robbery!" Philip keenly discovered that Cai Dao did not seem to want to kill him, and immediately mustered up the courage and shouted: "Principles are sacred, and I will defend the principles!"
Cai Dao gently placed his palm on the table, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. With a snap, the table was shattered by his true energy, which shocked everyone again. He just looked at the handsome guy in front of him with a smile: "Is that right?"
"Yes, I would rather defend my interests with my life!" Philip was frightened and glanced at Cai Dao's hand, for fear that this guy would break his body like a wooden table. However, he gritted his teeth and decided to defend his investment!
"You are very interesting!" Cai Dao couldn't help laughing. The young man in front of him really had a bit of a businessman temperament. He waved his hand: "You go and bring the black iron, you decide the price!" Seeing his smile, Philip finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was okay!

Alas, I only had three chapters today. If you want to think about it at the beginning, it is not easy to get up quickly!
