Chapter 21 The Value of Gold Coins

Holding the torch, Green and Shaqiya took the two travelers into the BOSS hall deep in the tunnel.

"Is the magic circle on the ground?" Herola stared at the hall in the dark.

As a half-orc, Herora has dim vision. Although she cannot see things in the dark, she is much better than ordinary people in a low light environment. The light of the torch is not bright, but it is enough for Herora to see clearly the situation in the cave.

Green had already prepared for such a situation.

"Yes." Green nodded and admitted frankly, "This should be an evil magic circle. When I came, there were many undead crowding here, probably because of this magic circle." Green tried to mislead Herora.

"We are not good at magic, but we can indeed feel that there is an evil energy on it." Herora looked a little serious.

Nonsense! This teleportation magic array leads to the Witch Dungeon. During the use of teleportation, some of the breath from the opposite side will be leaked. It is precisely because of that breath that Herola misunderstood. Green is very happy about this misunderstanding - in any case, the existence of this teleportation array has been successfully concealed.

So Green nodded with a serious look on his face and said, "Well, so I plan to destroy this magic circle. This kind of harming people cannot be kept!"

"You're right." Herora nodded and agreed to Green's point of view.

"Let's talk about that anymore, let's talk about the main business now." Green pointed to the pile of ores and broken copper iron next to it. "The spoils are here. In addition to some damaged weapons and equipment, there are also some rich ores with extremely high purity." When the magic circle was cleared before, all the spoils were moved to the entrance of the hall and piled up, but except for the Magic Iron Mine and the fine gold mine in Green's hand, the others were all worthless things.

"There are so many ores? Unfortunately, this kind of thing is very bulky and not very valuable." Herola deliberately showed a disappointed expression on his face.

Green couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Ordinary ores are indeed worthless, but what about magic iron ore?"

"Oh?" The two travelers were finally moved.

In the world of Io, ordinary items are not very valuable, but anything related to magic will increase significantly. Magic iron is similar to steel, but it has extremely strong magic resistance. It is one of the main materials for creating various anti-magic equipment and magic weapons. Armors and shields made of magic iron ore are the equipment that all warriors dream of.

Green picked up a small piece of magic iron ore from the ground and threw it over.

Two travelers quickly caught the ore that Green had thrown over and began to identify them.

Green took the opportunity to count the magic iron ore on the ground and estimated the quotation in his mind.

"There are estimated to be 5 units of magic iron ore."

In the later stage of the game, the price of Magic Iron Ore is basically stable at 5 gold coins per unit, but when it is expensive, it has been sold for 20 gold coins per unit. In other words, the value of this batch of ores should be between 25 and 100 gold coins.

"A five-unit magic iron ore can melt at least ten magic iron ingots, enough to make one piece of armor!" Green turned around and said to the two merchants, "I think you know how much a set of anti-magic armor made of magic iron ore is worth."

"You can't say that, the wages of high-level blacksmiths are much more expensive than materials." Lorentz spoke, "and it's not easy to transport these ores to the city. If you encounter undead or robbers on the way, you may lose all your money."

Green waved his hand: "Mr. Lorentz, I am not a businessman and I don't like bargaining. You can just offer the offer. If I think it's appropriate, I'll get the deal. If I think it's not appropriate, then I'll transport this batch of ores to the city to find blacksmiths to make equipment."

"Yeah..." Lorentz lowered his head and thought for a while, stretched out three fingers.

Green raised his eyebrows: "Three hundred gold coins?"

Lorentz: "You are really good at joking. A piece of anti-magic armor is only worth the price. I mean thirty gold coins."

Oh? The price of a piece of anti-magic armor is three hundred gold coins? Green narrowed his eyes and continued to bargain: "But thirty gold coins are too few. I might as well transport it back to the city to find a blacksmith."

Lorentz shook his head: "If you can transport this batch of magic iron ore to the city, you may be able to sell it at a higher price, but the various levels and taxes along the way will cost most of this batch of goods. If you encounter enemies on the road or encounter forced buying and selling, you may even lose all your money!"

Hearing Lorentz's words, Green couldn't help but sigh: It's over, he guessed my bottom line.

Lorentz was right. Green could not really transport the Magic Iron Mine back to the city for sale, but the reason was not because Green was afraid of being taxed by the level checkpoint, but because he had so many Magic Iron Mines and couldn't level up again.

For players, level is everything, and the purpose of making money is just to upgrade faster. Wasting a few days or even a dozen days of valuable leveling time for just a few dozen gold coins? This is not in the interests of players.

In fact, if these two merchants were not available, Green originally planned to give up those magic iron ore.

"...Okay, you convinced me. Thirty gold coins, this batch of magic iron ore is yours." After a brief hesitation, Green gave up and continued to bargain and agreed to the deal readily.

Thirty gold coins are already quite a lot. According to the experience summarized by players, a gold gold coins in the game are almost equivalent to the purchasing ability of 3,000 soft sister coins, and 30 gold coins are equivalent to the purchasing ability of 90,000 soft sister coins on the earth. Although it is not a "huge sum", it is enough for the early activity funds.

"But we don't have that much money now." Lorentz's next words made Green feel fooled.

Green: "… are you kidding?"

“We can exchange goods,” Lorentz added.

Green looked at Lorentz with a blank expression: "…"

"You should have experienced an arduous battle before, right? The weapons and equipment should be worn out so badly. I think various weapons and equipment should be more suitable for your needs than gold coins." As a professional businessman, he actually discovered Green's needs keenly.

Although gun magic is powerful, its magic consumption is not a small amount for Green now. If you can update your equipment and replenish your supplies, you can also improve your ability to continue fighting.

"...Okay, you convinced me. But the price of the goods can only be calculated based on the cost price."
