"Father, if Samuel is the mastermind behind this deal, do you think he'll show up before the ice is sold out? I don't think so. Of course, this is from the perspective of Heavenly Calamity.""If it is a man-made disaster, let alone Samuel, the murderer will not suddenly appear before the ice is sold out, right?"Hearing this, Luo Jin slapped his thigh. What his daughter said was very reasonable, but he had ignored it for a while. "Then what should we do now? Buy some ice and then quietly wait?" asked Luo Jin.Luo Ying'er smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, the City Lord's Mansion earned a lot of money from him by selling ice yesterday. Don't you think the money is hot from beginning to end? And you don’t want it. You might as well return it to him in this way."Hearing this, Luo Jin nodded. That was true.In fact, Luo Jin really didn't intend to take the money when he sold the ice last night.Up to now, he had put the ice money in another place. The purpose was that if
"The weather is too hot. Although we have a lot of ice, unfortunately, it has melted a lot.""According to the rules and our profits, we estimate that the price should be at least ten times higher before we can maintain the cost. However..."Ten times the price. After this morning's business transaction, the price had continuously risen to ten amethysts per kilogram. If one were to double the price, that would be a hundred amethysts in total.But how long can a kilogram of ice last in such an environment?It probably wouldn't last more than an hour.How could this be?Some people had calculated that it would take at least dozens of kilograms of ice to spend a day peacefully. If the price were to be increased by ten times, it was estimated that many people would have their wallet dug out."But we also know that if we sell it at ten times the price, everyone may be able to afford it today, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow!""I heard from Samuel that such
As soon as they saw the city lord, they rushed over one after another."City Lord, you've come.""City Lord, the weather is extremely hot right now. We are almost unable to endure it. However, this ice seller suddenly... suddenly wants to discuss a decision. We can’t buy ice right now.""City Lord, please go and negotiate with them. If we don't have ice here, we can't live.""That's right. City lord, you... you have to uphold justice for us."In the current situation, everyone could only pray that the city lord would come out and solve the ice problem.Luo Jin nodded, and then he led a few servants and Luo Ying'er towards the seller.After chatting with the servants over there for a while, Luo Jin led his men into the temporary shop.The group of people waited anxiously. About a quarter of an hour later, Luo Jin came out with his men."Everyone, I've learned about the situation. They are indeed discussing how to sell this ice. They also promised me that they would try their be
"There are so many people in Nightsky City, and just to make up for the difference in price is probably a huge sum of money. This isn't something that anyone should be able to bear. City Lord, I am truly impressed by your courage."Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. When they saw that it was the shopkeeper, they all stood up in surprise."The owner, it's the owner.""Oh, the owner has finally come out. We've been waiting for a long time.""Hurry up and sell the ice, shopkeeper. We really can't stand the heat.""Yeah, hurry up. How much do you want? Just tell me."Luo Jin hurriedly walked up to him with the help of his servants. Then, he smiled and said, "Brother, on behalf of all the citizens of the city, I hope that you can sell ice to save people as soon as possible, otherwise..."The merchant quickly lowered his head and said, "City shopkeeper, you don't have to be so polite. The bosses have already told us that it's a business to sell ice, but we have to conside
"Cloth!""The fabric of the Famous Store."The fabric of the Famous Store?Speaking of this, the people of Nightsky City were very clear about it.This cloth was extremely magical. Most importantly, it could resist the extreme cold, so almost everyone in Nightsky City knew about it.After all, it was necessary for merchants to prepare this item, and everyone who lived in Nightsky City possessed this item.Although Nightsky City wasn't as cold as the forest outside the city, it was better to be prepared than not."We have long heard of the Famous Store's cloth, but this cloth can only be bought in this store. This also means that only those who are not far from the Bone Burning City can take up the space to buy it at any time.""It's normal for you.""But for the people outside, this is an artifact. The so-called rare goods are edible. We also believe that if this cloth is sold outside, the price will inevitably be pleasant. In this way, we can exchange it for ice with peace of
"Change a part.""Except for the cloth we have to use, we should save as much as we can. Change as much ice as we can."When merchants went out, most of them prepared a lot of spare cloth. It was inevitable that they would encounter some special situations in the forest. The cloth was either broken, broken, or missed.Therefore, it was always safe to prepare more at this time. After all, it was a matter of life and death.However, it was clear that they could no longer make such a decision at this time. They could only carefully take out the remaining cloth and replace it with a spare one.Luo Ying'er glanced at Luo Jin and said, "Father, shall we also change some?"In fact, the Luo Family had a lot of cloth. Firstly, it was easier for them to buy these cloths with their identities. Secondly, they were the core department of the city's operations. Therefore, they needed to prepare some things in this regard.What if there was a merchant whose cloth was gone, or a citizen's cloth
Yes, the situation was very clear.If Samuel, the person behind the scenes, was about to be exposed, then many things would be immediately clear.Resisting the extreme cold, cloth, and Samuel.If these three elements were combined, some things would be laid bare before everyone's eyes."Samuel knows that we are withdrawing our troops because we want to release the extreme cold. Therefore, he got the cloth in the city in advance. His purpose is to let us release the extreme cold so that he can have cloth to resist it.""However, our retreat plan can be said to be very confidential. It is impossible for Samuel to steal our share.""Yeah, that's strange. How did Samuel know about our plan?"The Elder's face turned cold and he smiled disdainfully. "Have you ever thought of the possibility that our plan has not been leaked at all, and Samuel knows it because he has expected what we are going to do?""This... this is impossible, isn't it? Is Samuel so powerful that he can even guess
"The cloth in Nightsky City is limited, and everyone knows what cloth means to them. I believe that even if Samuel has cloth, he won't have his hundreds of thousands of soldiers covered, will he?""Once the extreme cold arrives, some of them will die."The envoy nodded hurriedly and said, "I agree with you. If the extreme cold goes on, someone will die. At that time, whether it's the soldiers or the citizens of Nightsky City who died, remember that Samuel is the ultimate culprit.""The public opinion will be on his side."As the commander-in-chief, Samuel should be blamed for not protecting his soldiers.For the people, they originally had enough cloth, but because of the tricks of Samuel, they didn't have cloth. At that time, no one cared about whether Samuel's technique was in line with the rules or not. They would only attack Samuel morally."When the combat capability of Samuel’s troops declined or the people of Nightsky City hated them, our goal had actually been achieved."
