Chapter 1016: Trading

The Red Comet was not of his own creation, but it was a high speed Flying Tool which meant it should have some value. There was a chance this trader would find something useful about its construction, but Sage mainly put it out there to show a sort of baseline for the speed they were upgrading out of. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

The Flying Wing was sort of the opposite, as he wasnt showing it for its performance but the unique features of its shape. Or at least its uniqueness in this world. It wasnt that fast as a Flying Tool, but the wing shape allowed it to be far more efficient than other Flying Tools by producing its own lift. This vehicle was extremely common in the Inner World as a personal transportation device for Cultivators. After determining that purely mechanical fixed wing flight vehicles were unreliable, the Flying Wing design became the most common. Just like electricity, the behavior of air and bodies moving through it did not always act predictably. The Laws of the world and the flows of the power of the heavens and earth created places where wings and lift did not function as they did in others. The Flying Wing could fly under its own power just like other Flying Tools, and it still had wings to make it more efficient most of the time.

The description of the Flying Wing did not go into detail about the science behind its wings as that would take away all its research value to the Trader. Instead it talked about how in most places, those without any disturbance to the energy of the heavens and earth, or that are inundated with Air Laws, it is very efficient and can sustain higher speeds. If the Trader is skilled enough, he would be able to recognize the materials and arrays used in the creation of the Flying Wing and after comparing that to the top speed listed in the description see some value in its capabilities.

The other two Flying Tools were Airships, and hopefully this place was far enough removed from the Dou Kingdom that it wouldnt immediately be recognized by the Trader. This was actually only wishful thinking as hed already seen one of his Clans Airships out on display so it was likely the Trader would connect them immediately. Even so, Sage decided to show off these new designs as he recognized the value in what Guan Zhenyan had said. Even if the connection between him and the Prosperity Company was made, didnt it just mean theyd stopped at the capital? It was possible someone might trace this clue back to this time and place in the future, putting together the fact a Prosperity Company member sold a few one off products a few weeks after someone from the Lang Clan just died in the capital. The two incidents could be completely unrelated, the Airships could be stolen goods, or they could have been built by an unaffiliated third party.

Surprisingly, the man didnt seem to care much about the Red Comet, which was likely because it was probably quite similar to many items that had come through here. Instead it was the other three and their odd features that were the most interesting to the Trader. From the apron and the callouses on the mans hands, Sage took him for a craftsman. For someone who built Airships, the oddities that others might find inconsequential were actually interesting and worthy of study. Sage shared this opinion with Guan Zhenyan.

If I pay for it, then the Airship we buy here will belong to me.

Sure, whatever, I just dont want to waste years flying to the Xuanyuan Empire.

After the mental conversation, the Trader tried to give them a lowball quote. Neither Zhenyan or Sage really cared in that regard. Instead, they cut right to the chase, putting the Red Comet back into a bag and leaving the other three out.

You can offer whatever price you like for these three, I just want you to bring out the secret goods. I want the fastest, most comfortable Flying Ship youve got in those hidden vaults.
