A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 139: Can I Touch Your Thing?

Translator: Lonelytree

In a not-so-spacious hotel room.

As soon as he said that, Lumiere began to regret it. He was just unreasonable, not ignorant of the world.

Hence, he hurriedly explained,

“No, that’s not what I meant. I just don’t know how to express myself in the common language. Don’t misunderstand.”

As he spoke, he even spoke a few words in the native language.

“In short, Matthew is not my partner. Madam, you can rest assured.”

Lumiere emphasized to Bobo.

In his opinion, the two of them must have a deep relationship if they stay in the same room at night.

Bobo’s eyes lit up when he heard that. “You can tell that I’m a lady?!”

Seeing that the topic had changed, Lumiere immediately chuckled and said, “That’s obvious.”

Bobo puffed out her chest proudly and looked at Matthew. “Look, it’s not my problem that someone’s eyesight is bad. There are still many people in this world who can distinguish the truth.”

Matthew smiled bitterly.

His perception was actually quite sharp, but it was naturally incomparable to a Tier 5 big shot like Lumiere.

He exchanged a few more pleasantries with Lumiere.

As he spoke, Lumiére had an idea. He expressed that he had travelled for a day and was hungry. He hoped that the two of them could get him something to eat.

Matthew saw that it was dark and Lumiere probably wouldn’t be able to find another place to stay for a while, so he looked at Bobo with a questioning gaze.

Bobo’s impression of Lumiere had greatly changed because he could accurately identify her feminine characteristics.

She nodded coolly at Matthew.

The next moment, Matthew smiled and led Lumiere into his private room.

After the two of them entered, they did not come out for a long time.

Only Bobo, who had been woken up in the middle of the night and had lost her sleepiness, was left. Bored, she could only wipe her armour again.

The next morning.

Matthew calmly walked into a magic supply store in the North Trade District.

He wanted to replenish some supplies for the trip to the Dalongn Lake, and the most important one was the [Underwater Breathing Potion].

After the user drank this potion, two pairs of cheeks would form on the skin on both sides of the neck, thus gaining the ability to breathe freely underwater.

Underwater Breathing Potion was a potion that was widely used. Although the production habits and processes were different in different places, the effects were often similar.

Matthew wasn’t worried about not being able to buy good potions, but he was worried that the price would be too expensive.

The funds he had on hand were far from enough to squander at will.

However, when Matthew walked around the shop called ” Desert Light,” he almost couldn’t suppress the excitement and joy in his heart!

He came to the counter and asked calmly,

“How much is the Underwater Breathing Potion?”

The shop owner was a hobgoblin wearing pince-nez glasses and knitting a sweater.

She was much taller than ordinary goblins, but she was still only about two-thirds the size of a human.

When she heard Matthew’s question, she immediately put down the woollen rack and gently introduced, “12 gold coins per stack. The price is marked clearly.”

Her common language was very standard. Other than her appearance, she did not seem to be any different from a human female.

Matthew pretended to ask casually, “12 gold coins? Why is it at this price?” The female goblin slowly replied,

“Is the customer finding it expensive? This was already the result of a discount. Underwater Breathing Potions had always had a stable market, not to mention that they were made by the Deep Sea Naga, and their quality was trustworthy.

“To tell you the truth, this potion was originally going to increase in price. Previously, the Nagas had always felt that they were selling it too cheaply, but as soon as they raised the idea of increasing the price, internal strife broke out among themselves.

“It was said that it was due to a great bard.

“The magic craftsmen of the Naga tribe were also divided into several factions. There was no way to raise the price.

“And in order to seize the market, our shop even lowered some prices yesterday.

“If you want to buy more, I can give you a discount.

“The discount is not much. It’s just to express our gratitude for your support of the Eternal Night tribe.”

Matthew took a bottle of Underwater Breathing Potion from the shelf and found that the label of Eternal tribe was indeed pasted on its back.

At this moment, his heart was suddenly enlightened.

” No wonder they’re selling so cheaply. It turns out that foreign products have flooded into the market. The original monopoly of mages and a small number of alchemists has been destroyed. Not only are the Naga products cheap and effective, but the local mages probably won’t be able to compete with their prices anymore.

“Also, why do I hear news of Loraine everywhere I go?”

Matthew found it funny.

He calculated in his mind for a while, and then, with a wave of his hand, he bought 20 sets of Underwater Breathing Potions and ten sets of the more powerful Frogman Potion, which cost 18 gold coins.

In this way.

He only had around 100 Gold Coins left.

However, Matthew did not panic at all.

They only needed to transport this batch of potions to a big city near Rolling Stone Town: Baiyan City, Jade Court, Jiliu City…lt could be sold anywhere for more than eight times the price!

This profit margin was over the top.

Matthew wished he could build a teleportation gate in Condor City and travel back and forth every day!

However, this was obviously unrealistic. The cost of ultra-long-distance teleportation could easily wipe out the profits of running a business.

The idea of running a business seemed to only exist in fantasy.

“Wait, it’s not entirely impossible. I can find a safe spot in the wilderness and build a shrine for the Goddess of Moonlight.”

Matthew pondered over a feasible plan.

In his opinion, the Moonlight Woodlands was actually a very promising route for long-distance cargo transportation..
