I have a wizarding world

Inside the Seven Stars Commerce Guild.

Roger wasn't angry that Fang Cheng ignored him; he remained beside him, smiling obsequiously and inquiring solicitously.

Actually, it wasn't Roger's fault for misjudging. He had been doing business in Morton City for over a decade, meeting all sorts of people from every corner of the world. He originally thought Fang Cheng was just lucky enough to obtain a gem.

Fang Cheng neither understood the market nor possessed any subsequent value. If he didn't fleece such a fat sheep, Roger would feel he was letting down his nickname of 'Cunning Fox'.

"Fang Cheng," Roger, seeing Fang Cheng ignoring him, proactively ran up to put his arm around Fang Cheng's shoulder, scaring Fang Cheng into quickly dodging him.

"Roger, talk is talk, but keep your hands to yourself."

Seeing Fang Cheng's wary eyes, Roger wasn't angry. He lowered his voice and said, "Brother Fang Cheng, how about we talk in private?"

Fang Cheng hesitated for less than half a second before nodding.

The two came to the second floor of the Commerce Guild, which was relatively secluded and specially provided for powerful merchants to discuss matters.

Inside a private room on the second floor, the two sat facing each other.

For such a simple private room, the Seven Stars Commerce Guild charged one silver lang. The daily profit of the Seven Stars Commerce Guild was evident.

"Brother Fang Cheng," Roger lowered his voice, "What happened last time was my fault. The value of that gem is far more than ten gold coins. I am willing to compensate you for the gem's full value, and in addition, offer you ten gold coins as compensation."

Hearing this, Fang Cheng was also very surprised.

"Why?" Fang Cheng took a sip of the fruit wine placed on the table.

"Ha," Roger sighed, "This time, I was short-sighted. As soon as I saw Brother Fang Cheng come to the Seven Stars Commerce Guild again, I knew I had misjudged."

Roger also took a sip of the clear water on the table to moisten his throat. "A few days ago, I saw you come here to peddle gems. I thought you seemed..." Roger didn't continue.

"Like an idiot?" Fang Cheng finished the sentence with a smile that wasn't a smile.

"No, no," Roger laughed awkwardly, waving his hands to deny it. "I just felt that you didn't seem like a ship-running merchant, nor like an adventurer. I thought you were lucky enough to pick up this gem."

After saying that, Roger didn't continue.

The meaning was clear: you're a lucky guy who picked up a gem, who else would I fleece if not you?

Hearing this, Fang Cheng remained noncommittal and didn't speak. Seeing Fang Cheng's silence, Roger felt anxious. He was sure that yesterday, Fang Cheng was just testing the waters by selling the gem at the trading house, and there would definitely be a large batch of goods later.

There was no why, it was just a keen sense of money that an outstanding businessman possessed.

Thinking of this, Roger stood up and bowed ninety degrees to Fang Cheng: "I apologize for my previous behavior, but I hope you can give me another chance."

Fang Cheng took another sip of fruit wine, pondered for a moment, and nodded.

Roger laughed heartily when he saw this, and was about to put his arm around Fang Cheng's shoulder again.

"If you put your hand over here again, I'll have to reconsider whether our cooperation is necessary."

Hearing this, Roger withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly.

"Then, let me see what goods you've brought today," Roger rubbed his hands, quickly changing the subject.

Fang Cheng nodded, put down his large black backpack, and began rummaging through it.

"Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong."

Six sounds.

Roger looked at the six gems rolling around in front of him, feeling his brain short-circuit.

Six gems, each the size of a baby's fist, each crystal clear. Heavens, how could there be such beautiful treasures in the world? This was simply a gift from the gods.

Roger didn't know how to express himself in words.

The gem Fang Cheng sold him last time was much smaller than these six.

"Fang Cheng... Brother," Roger stuttered a little, "No, Master Fang Cheng," Roger immediately changed his address.

"Master Fang Cheng, I may not be able to come up with the gold coins you want for this batch of goods all at once," Roger said somewhat awkwardly. As a well-known merchant in Morton City, he felt a little ashamed to say that he couldn't come up with the money.

However, compared to the immediate benefits, this shame was immediately thrown to the winds.

Not to mention shame, even if he had to abandon his dignity and kneel down to call Fang Cheng 'father' now, he would do it immediately, as long as Fang Cheng agreed to cooperate with him.

"Master Fang Cheng, I can join the Seven Stars Commerce Guild to take this batch of gems together. What do you think?" Roger asked softly for Fang Cheng's opinion.

"Wouldn't it be better if I just sold it directly to the Seven Stars Commerce Guild?" Fang Cheng chuckled, making a gesture to leave.

"Master Fang Cheng, please wait."

Roger immediately got up and blocked Fang Cheng. Fang Cheng sat down again, wanting to hear what else Roger could say.

"Master Fang Cheng, it is true that selling directly to the Seven Stars Commerce Guild is a good choice," Roger paused for a moment, his eyes staring straight at Fang Cheng, "But how can you guarantee that the Seven Stars Commerce Guild will give you the most favorable price?"

The meaning was clear: how can you guarantee that the Seven Stars Commerce Guild won't cheat you?

After all, compared to Roger, a merchant who had been in Morton City for ten years, Fang Cheng was still a novice.

The two looked at each other for a moment.

"You successfully persuaded me, Roger," Fang Cheng smiled, "Then, happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation," Roger also smiled.

The two had just left the private room.

"Sir."

Outside the private room, a young man in his twenties lowered his head and saluted Roger slightly. He was Will, the captain of the guard Roger had hired at great expense.

Roger seemed to value his captain of the guard quite a bit, and he was in a particularly good mood since he had just closed a big deal.

"Thank you for your hard work, Will," Roger patted Will's shoulder forcefully.

"This is my duty, sir," Will gently stroked his chest with his right hand, his expression solemn.

Fang Cheng had seen this young man last time. Fang Cheng was also somewhat envious of this tall and mighty guard. It was just that he was unfamiliar with this place, lacking both connections and confidence.

Therefore, he had always been afraid to hire servants and guards.

"By the way, Roger," Fang Cheng seemed to remember something, stopping in his tracks.

"Sir, what are your instructions?" Roger's attitude towards Fang Cheng had reversed 180 degrees since Fang Cheng took out the six glass beads. In his words, there must be an extremely terrifying figure standing behind Fang Cheng.

"Instructions are out of the question," Fang Cheng said with a smile, "Morton City is a beautiful place."

Roger nodded slightly, not interrupting Fang Cheng.

"I hope to buy a manor here. I wonder if you have any friends in this area?" As he spoke, Fang Cheng glanced at Roger.

Hearing this, Roger smiled.

"Master Fang Cheng, I happen to have a manor under my name. If you don't mind, I'm willing to give it to you as compensation for deceiving you last time."

After Roger finished speaking, he saw that Fang Cheng's expression was normal, and continued, "The manor is located less than ten miles outside the south of the city. If you don't mind, we can go there and take a look next."

"Alright," Fang Cheng said with a smile. This Roger was good, he knew how to handle things.

Under Roger's deliberate flattery, the atmosphere between the two gradually became warm, and laughter could be heard from both sides from time to time.

The two had just left the Commerce Guild gate.

"Giddy up!"

A shout came from far to near, followed by the sound of horses' hooves.

From afar, a knight wearing white heavy armor and a silver helmet, riding a tall horse, galloped towards the Seven Stars Commerce Guild.

Seeing the knight, Roger quickly grabbed Fang Cheng and stepped aside.

Fang Cheng found that the surrounding merchants, like Roger, lowered their heads and retreated to the sides. It wasn't until the knight dismounted, took off his helmet, and entered the Seven Stars Commerce Guild that the atmosphere among the crowd became lively again.

Roger seemed to see Fang Cheng's confusion and explained, "That is the knight under Baron Morton."

Hearing Roger's words, Will's eyes flashed with fervent light. It should be said that since the knight appeared, Will's gaze had been fixed on him.

"A knight?" Fang Cheng seemed to regard him only as a member of the noble class and didn't pay much attention to it.

He had no idea what the word 'knight' really meant.

An hour later.

Roger's carriage stopped in front of a manor.

The manor covered nearly a hundred acres, with a huge lake on the right. Looking down from the sky, it was like a bright pearl inlaid on the earth. The lake was surrounded by green grassland. Whenever a breeze blew, the fragrance of grass mixed with the scent of soil floated in the air. Taking a deep breath, one felt refreshed.

What a great place.

Before even entering the manor, Fang Cheng was conquered by the surrounding environment.

He looked at Roger deeply. The value of this manor was definitely more than 100 gold coins.

Seeing Fang Cheng's expression, Roger knew that he was very satisfied with this place. Immediately, Roger's mood also improved. It was worth his painstaking effort to give his beloved manor to Fang Cheng.

This manor was bought by Roger from a merchant who went bankrupt due to a tsunami seven years ago. It cost Roger more than five hundred gold coins at the time, and he seized the opportunity to buy it at a low price.

Usually, the price would be far more than that.

"Sir, let's go in and take a look," Roger stretched out his hand, making an inviting gesture.

Fang Cheng was in a good mood, nodded, and walked in.

Upon entering, there was a long tree-lined path, planted with various flowers and trees on both sides. Fang Cheng could hardly name these plants.

But they seemed to have been arranged by the top masters, distributed in a staggered manner on both sides of the tree-lined path.

Giving people a refreshing feeling.

Passing through the tree-lined path was a huge artificial lake, with a white sculpture standing in the center of the lake.

Passing through the lake was a castle.

Fang Cheng didn't need to look any further, he was already ten thousand times satisfied in his heart. Damn, if this was in Modu, Fang Cheng wouldn't dare to think about it.

Looking at the increasingly obvious smile on Fang Cheng's face, Roger's heart was also completely relieved.

Although he didn't know why this master dismissed the priceless six gems but was excited about a beautiful but not expensive manor.

But Roger knew that he had made a fortune.

Of course, Fang Cheng didn't know Roger's thoughts. If he knew, he would probably say two words, 'Hehe'.
