Connie took out a few hexagonal coins from her pocket and explained to Joelson, “These are runic coins, similar to runestones. They are graded according to their value. These are the lowest grade wooden runic coins.”
Joelson took the runic coins from Connie’s hand and examined them carefully.
He wanted to use the scraps of broken runestones to polish them. The workmanship was very rough, and there was an extremely thin layer of runic power wrapped around them.
Joelson asked, “Do you have higher-level runic coins?”
Connie’s face showed a faint embarrassment, and she said with a red face, “No.”
“What’s the price of the lowest-level wooden rune?”
Connie replied, “It’s usually between 100 to 300 wooden runic coins. Stone runes are similar, but you need to pay with stone runic coins. The exchange ratio between stone and wooden coins is 1:100.”
Joelson thought for a moment, then took out a few gold coins commonly used in the central continent and handed them to Connie.
“There’s no such currency?”
Connie’s eyes lit up when she saw the gold coins, and she whispered, “It’s so beautiful!”
But soon, a puzzled look appeared in her eyes. “Why is this inferior metal made so delicately?”
“Inferior metal?”
Joelson was stunned.
“Yes.”
Connie kept playing with the gold coin in her hand, she explained, “There are a lot of this metal beside high-level metal rune stones. It’s the lowest-grade associated metal ore. Whether it’s hardness or ductility, it’s very poor. A wooden currency can be exchanged for a lot of it.”
Connie looked at the gold coin with a regretful look and said, “If this kind of workmanship was placed on a high-level metal, it would still have a certain collection value. Unfortunately, no one would collect handicrafts made of inferior metals.”
Only after understanding it did Joelson understand.
It turned out that gold was actually the lowest grade and most worthless metal in the land of runes. On the contrary, the value of steel that could be forged into weapons and equipment was even higher. As for magic materials such as magic mithril, their value was also equally precious.
Joelson could not help but have a strange expression on his face.
If an ordinary person from the central continent had the opportunity to come here, he would be able to make a fortune. However, right now, he had no interest in this path of earning gold.
A few black magic crystal coins appeared in Joelson’s hands.
“Then, what about these?” Joelson looked at Connie and asked.
If the magic crystal coins lost their value, then he would have to consider giving up the method of purchasing them and using force to collect runestones.
That might increase a lot of unnecessary trouble, but for his own strength, he could only do so.
Contrary to Joelson’s expectations, Connie’s eyes widened the moment she saw the magic crystal coin and said, “At this time, the crystal rune coin?!”
Connie’s current appearance was very interesting.
She stared at the magic crystal coin in Joelson’s hand. That kind of feeling of wanting to touch it but being a little afraid made Joelson laugh.
“Crystal Rune Coin?”
Joelson looked at Connie. “Are you sure?”
“Of course I’m sure!”
Connie’s tone was firm, and she added in a low voice, “Actually, I’ve never seen a crystal rune before.”
Joelson didn’t know what to say, so he raised his hand and pretended to hit her.
Connie was so scared that she knelt on the ground. Her face was pale, and her body trembled as she replied, “Sir, although I’ve never seen a Crystal Rune Coin before, I know that the density of the rune power on a crystal rune coin is dozens of times more than that of a wooden currency.”
Connie thought that Joelson was angry and wanted to kill her.
Joelson felt the runic power on the wooden currency. The magic power contained in the magic crystal coin was indeed dozens of times more than that of the wooden currency.
The so-called runic power was actually also composed of magic elements.
Joelson nodded lightly. “Get up.”
Connie looked carefully at Joelson and slowly stood up. She stood respectfully to the side and did not dare to say another word.
Joelson looked at the magic crystal coins in his hand, his eyes shining.
If the value of the magic crystal coins was really as Connie had said, then his plan would obviously go much smoother.
In the space of the ranch, the magic crystal coins that the steel dragon and Du Lu produced every day had accumulated until now into a small mountain.
He randomly found a rune shop and walked in.
Joelson took a look and saw that there were dozens of rune stones arranged in different categories in the shop.
Most of them were wooden runestones, and a few of them were stone runestones.
As for golden runestones, it was impossible to have them.
In the entire meteor city, there were only a few people who had golden runestones, including the city Lord, Eugene.
The shop owner saw that Joelson was handsome, dressed luxuriously, and his temperament was much better than ordinary people.
His eyes immediately lit up and he quickly walked up to him.
“Dear customer.”
The shop owner smiled and asked, “Do you need anything?”
Joelson withdrew his gaze from the runestone and said indifferently, “Do you only have these things in your shop?”
The shop owner thought that Joelson didn’t care about the runestones in the shop and quickly said, “Customer, please wait a moment.”
The shop owner walked in and soon came out with a box.
“Look at this.”
The shop owner opened the box, and a sharp light immediately shot out.
Joelson easily crushed the box, which made the shop owner’s heart tremble, and he became more excited.
This was a strong man, which also meant that he was a big customer with a big wallet.
“Metal-type top-grade rune stone.”
The shop owner patted his chest and said proudly, “I can guarantee that you won’t find a better stone rune than this in the entire Meteor City. In order to get it, more than ten rune hunters died.”
Joelson was slightly satisfied.
This kind of rune stone contained at least three laws, and it was a precious metal type rune stone. It was indeed not bad.
Joelson retracted his gaze and said, “Do you have more?”
Still not satisfied?!
The shop owner was stunned for a moment and hesitated for a while before taking out another fire type rune stone with a scorching aura.
“It’s similar to the previous one, but because it’s a fire type rune stone, the price is slightly higher.”
There were more fire-type runestones, so it was normal for the market price to be expensive.
Joelson nodded and asked again, “Are there any more?”
The shopkeeper was stunned, and a bitter smile appeared on his face as he said, “Honorable customer, the most valuable runestones in our shop are all here. If we go any higher, there will be golden runestones. We really don’t have any.”
Joelson shook his head. “What I mean is, there are runestones like this and these.”
Joelson glanced at the runestones in the shop and said indifferently, “Take them all out. I want them all.”
He wanted them all.
The shop owner was completely dumbfounded.
He thought he had heard wrong.
He stared at Joelson for a long time.
“Are you kidding me? Do you know how much you need to buy all the runestones here?”
Before the shop owner could finish his words, his eyes suddenly widened. The rest of his words were stuck in his throat like a duck whose neck was being pinched.
Joelson threw a few shiny magic crystal coins in front of him.
“Crystal… crystal runestone?!”
