With the appearance of gold, Jon, the initiator, finally resumed breathing.
Although he had tested it in advance, God knew if the physical laws he was familiar with would fail in this world of ice and fire.
However, perhaps the Seven Gods also wanted to see such a splendid performance, so they didn't tease the transmigrator.
Then, everything proceeded according to the established plan.
When the Bull jumped out again, he immediately stated that he would buy this alchemy formula for one hundred thousand Gold Dragons, which attracted the attention of the whole audience.
As for Jon, he didn't counteroffer or agree immediately; instead, he declared that his alchemy formula could only be used for exchange.
If possible, he was willing to use a gamble to determine the ownership of this alchemy formula.
As Jon's voice fell, the alchemy members present immediately jumped up, wanting to participate in this game.
However, this act of taking advantage was stopped jointly by Wolf Lyantarg and Muke Deer.
As Jon, who held the initiative, declared that unless it was an equivalent exchange, he would rather give up this gamble.
As soon as these words came out, the nobles who were originally extremely thirsty for gold immediately realized that they did not have such qualifications.
Although there were members of Golden Button among the nobles present, this did not mean that all members of the alchemy salon came from this trade alliance.
Moreover, even if they were in it, no one could take out one hundred thousand Gold Dragons at once; that was an astronomical sum of money.
For a time, the restless atmosphere on the field fell back to freezing point. Seeing that the opportunity to create unlimited gold was right in front of them, but they couldn't grasp it, almost all the nobles became anxious.
But soon, the dull situation was broken by Old Joy. This old noble from the previous dynasty rarely regained his brilliance at this moment.
Immediately after, Old Joy initiated a loan from the members of the alchemy salon present with his credit as a guarantee, obviously determined to get this alchemy formula.
However, there were also smart people among the nobles present, and some doubted the authenticity of this formula.
Therefore, even though Old Joy ran around, he only gathered thirty thousand Gold Dragons, which was still a huge gap from the one hundred thousand Gold Dragons offered by Muke Deer.
However, just when Old Joy was about to give up, Jon stated that he could accept the conversion of equivalents, including manors or other industries.
On this basis, Wolf Lyantarg frankly stated that he came to Tampa to settle down, so any real estate could be converted equivalently.
It wasn't until this moment that Jon completely exposed his intentions, aiming directly at Old Joy's manor and pier.
But what Jon didn't expect was that as Wolf Lyantarg, his incarnation, said this, it dispelled the doubts of all the nobles present.
You know, Wolf Lyantarg was just a stranger from across the Narrow Sea. Even with a noble status and a magical alchemy formula, it was not easy for people to believe him.
But if he could accept real estate transactions, it meant that the other party would not leave here easily, at least not a swindler.
After all, houses and industries don't have legs, nor can they be easily taken away like Gold Dragons.
Even if they wanted to sell at a discount, presumably before that, they would have been able to verify whether the formula was true, and could recover losses in time.
Therefore, from any angle, this gamble was a sure win, thus stimulating many nobles to join in.
And Old Joy, who led this matter, quickly staked his manor and clothing store, valuing them at one hundred thousand Gold Dragons to prepare to participate in the gamble.
However, just when these people moved upon hearing the news, Gendry, playing Muke Deer, suddenly spoke after watching for a long time.
"Wait a minute. In my opinion, these things are far from worth seventy thousand Gold Dragons." (Note: 100k total - 30k cash = 70k needed in assets)
When saying this, the Bull completely ignored Jon's murderous gaze, and instead continued as if he bore a great responsibility.
"Of course, for everyone here, I am just a dirty Tyroshi, but we also have our own honor and traditions."
When saying this, Gendry had already brought himself into the role he played, talking eloquently and mobilizing the atmosphere on the scene.
"Although our proudest business may not be called elegant in your eyes, I must say that only the most precious things can compare with Gold Dragons. For example, Lord Joy's beautiful daughter seems not to have been betrothed to anyone yet. Am I right?"
Having said this in one breath, Gendry's face became incredibly relaxed, as if he had completed the assigned task.
As for what he wanted to express, it obviously fit his character's identity, which was to make Old Joy put Miss Anya on the gambling table as well.
It wasn't until this moment that Jon realized that this damn fool was obviously coerced by Arya to do this.
It was just that Jon couldn't distinguish for a moment why the Bull would obey his sister.
In short, with the Bull's stirring, the originally steady situation instantly became somewhat difficult to grasp.
Hearing Muke Deer's rhetoric, Old Joy, who was originally determined to get the alchemy formula, chose to respond after a long silence.
"Well, I must admit that Lord Muke's words have some truth, but I absolutely do not accept selling my own daughter."
When saying this, a rare cherished look appeared on Old Joy's face, winning the respect of all alchemy salon members at this moment.
Especially everyone present. Although they participated in the salon and flattered Old Joy, in fact, they knew a fact better than anyone else.
That is, if Old Joy continued to squander like this, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before the beautiful, angel-like Miss Anya would have to sell herself cheaply to marry an old wealthy widower, or become the lover of a playboy with property, to support her father's luxurious lifestyle.
But the same thing, if decided by different people, the effect achieved would also highlight the brilliance in human nature.
Just like Old Joy now, he obviously maintained his dignity.
But the regret appearing on his face was as if he had missed the most desired treasure in his life.
It wasn't until this moment that Jon's churning heart silently relaxed.
Obviously, since Old Joy rejected this proposal, things could continue according to the original setting.
Therefore, Jon immediately took a step forward, ready to restate the conditions just now.
However, he ultimately misplaced his trust in Gendry and underestimated the Bull's quick wit.
Even in such a noisy and chaotic situation, Gendry did not turn into a stupid cow, but instead flashed with amazing wisdom like the diamond on a stag's crown.
