The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 950

Chapter 950 Material Trade

That got the Dwarves excited. They had all sorts of good materials stored from their farms, and they weren't worth much here in town.

When everyone had the same things, the value plummeted. Water was worth more than anything else to most of the farmers, as the supply was greatly limited.

They called it a river that they filled the water wagons from, but it was hardly more than a small stream from a natural spring. With the amount that they used, it only ran for a few hundred metres before soaking into the ground and vanishing.

The rest of the water was all taken away to keep the people alive.

The Sand Trolls needed very little water for themselves, but the crops needed it. Normally, they relied on rainfall, but that had been getting more scarce by the year, to the point that many had already begun to abandon the higher areas.

They would move to a lowland, in hopes that it retained more moisture, or just move to the coast and start over from nothing.

The shirtless Dwarf had managed to find more neighbours, and between them, they had come up with a large pile of black veined Overlord Ranked Mana Jade.

"What about this? The striped Jade comes from the quarry as well, and it should be good for making statues." One of the Dwarves asked.

"How much do you want for it?" Karl asked.

"Ten Gold Coins a Kilo."

Karl tried not to smile as the Dwarves around him burst into laughter.

"Oi, shut it, you bunch of jackasses. It's called negotiating" He insisted.

"Ten Gold a Kilo" One of the others mocked in a singsong voice, which made the others laugh even harder.

"If you want the scrap jade from the mines, I'll trade you for half that price." Someone in the back shouted.

"You live in the city, what do you even want a water statue for?"

"I don't, but I'd pay just to see the look on your face."

Karl let the Dwarves argue among themselves, until finally the shirtless Dwarf moved closer to whisper to him.

"There's five hundred Kilos of stone on the ground there. I'll trade you for the statue while they argue." He whispered.

"Pass me the stone, and it's a deal,"

Tessa rolled her eyes as the stone vanished, then appeared in the Guild's Branch Location inventory. That was even more shameless than taking the mana jade countertops from renovation sites, like they had last time.

The Dwarves realized that the stone was gone, as was the statue, and turned on the shirtless Dwarf.

"You shameless bugger. What did you bribe him with? You'd better not have promised him your daughter, you know my boy is sweet on her." One of the men demanded, then glared at Karl's group.
