Chapter 729: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions

It was not that there were no people who had not calmed down, and not all of them were completely caught in a frenzied atmosphere, caught in the frenzied pursuit of those auction items, and some of them were conducting auctions while thinking about the hidden meaning behind the appearance of these auction items at the auction and being obtained by them with money.

The things they are competing for so much are so sparse and ordinary in the Baltic Empire, and now they will be auctioned at this auction, probably because there are better alternatives in the Baltic Empire, and only such an explanation can explain why these merchant ships appeared at the auction and became auction items.

In the various shipyards within the Empire, it has been rumored for a long time that the Empire has invested a lot of money in the research of a new batch of merchant ships, and the Empire needs a group of ships that can still sail at high speed in the face of adverse currents and winds, and the sturdiness and defense of such ships need to be able to deal with the Legendary, at least to have the defense against the next Legendary magic.

If such a ship is built, then the Baltic Empire can completely establish its domination of the sea, in the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the English Channel, all the way to the Bay of Biscay, there is no force that can stand in front of it, can become its rival in the true sense.

Many people are worried, but they are not too worried, because now in essence, the ships of the Baltic Empire are unimpeded in these seas, and no person, no force, dares to attack the ships of the Baltic Empire.

The strength of the Baltic Empire at sea has only changed from being unshakable to being even more unshakable.

The auction is in full swing, and after the appearance of this batch of merchant ships, the goods behind each will detonate the atmosphere of the entire venue, and it can be said that the auction has begun to enter the hot stage.

Thousands of sets of standard equipment for the heavy infantry of the Baltic Empire

A map with details of the Ural Mountains

A magic book that only appears in legends, and is rumored to record a spell that surpasses legendary magic

A message indicating the location and part of a deity's ruin

These things, no matter which one they are, will cause a huge storm when they are placed outside, and will make the legend put down his body and fight for the blood flow and casualties.

No, even if it is placed here, it is true that people abide by the rules of this auction because of the strength of the Baltic Empire, but after the auction, they will definitely try to find those who have obtained the auction item, and then use all kinds of methods to obtain the auction item.

The Baltic Empire only guarantees a stable order within the Baltic Empire, and the situation outside the Baltic Empire is never too much interference, because it is enough for the Baltic people to put the interests of the Baltic Empire first, not their personal idealism.

This is originally a chaotic world, and the existence of order is only to facilitate the ruler to rule better and obtain more benefits, so this kind of order can only act on the weak, and the binding force on the strong is very limited.

In addition to the nearby kings, tribal chieftains, and merchants, there were several special missions that appeared in the auction, one from the south, the son of a certain god, a powerful and charismatic legendary male demigod, and the other from the southern end of the main plane, one of the many pharaohs who ruled the Nile region, and the most powerful of them, Pharaoh Tutankhame.

As a descendant of the gods, the Pharaoh, and the patron of the god Ameng, Tutankhame has of course participated in the auction of the Void Trading Land, and she knows that behind that trading place, there are several gods who are supporting and controlling it.

However, even so, she participated in the auction organized by the Baltic Empire, which almost could be said to include all the forces in the entire north, and she still felt very surprised, and the special products that appeared in the auction only belonged to the north, which opened her eyes to see that some of these things that looked ordinary, if transported to the Nile region, would definitely be sought after by the nobles there and sold for unimaginable sky-high prices.

There were other things that didn't seem unusual, but they made her feel very new, at least in the countries where she had traveled to so many places on the main plane, and the countries of various landscapes, she had never seen them, and even more than she imagined, such as wooden boxes that could automatically play beautiful music, such as the beautiful Wanhua mirror made of countless lenses, which looked simple, but the technology used in it was really refreshing.

Tutankhame also saw something deeper, through this auction, the Baltic Empire can increase its influence in the Northland in disguise, and can subtly make people regard the Baltic Empire and Jutland as the center of the Northland, and will reduce the inner resistance and hatred when it is ruled by the Baltic Empire in the future, and it will be easier to integrate into this empire and become a part of the empire.

No matter what kind of identity they had before, they could easily accept such a new identity as the Baltic people, and were willing to fight for this new identity, and were willing to sacrifice their lives for the Baltic Empire.

The other legendary demigod focused on a very different relationship from Tutankhame's, focusing on the more magical and scarce treasures, of which scarcity was more important, after all, he came from the prosperous and rich Northern Mediterranean, where merchants from the entire main plane gathered, and all kinds of goods were filled.

He had heard about the Northland a long time ago, but at that time, in the impression of the people living near the Mediterranean, the Northland represented blood, primitive, and barbaric, without a commendable culture, without poetry, etiquette, theater, and barbarians.

However, this situation changed after the emergence of the Baltic Empire, and the goods that came from the Northland were no longer raw materials that had not been processed in any way, but rough but wonderful crafts with characteristics, which made people feel new and involuntarily launched the pursuit, and in the craziest days, even some kings fell into this wave, superstitious about the excellence of the goods of the Northland.

Of course, part of the reason for this is that the goods of the Baltic Empire are not much to be faulty about in terms of quality, and the operation of the assembly line ensures the quality of these goods.

Of course, quality alone is not enough, quality is only the basis of best-selling, on the other hand, the marketing strategy adopted by the empire in those areas is also very crucial, such as controlling the delivery of goods at the right time, creating an atmosphere of hunger and thirst marketing.

Use the initial hunger marketing to expand the market sufficiently, make the goods into a culture as much as possible, become a sought after culture, use this culture to popularize, let consumers habitually buy and use this kind of goods, and cultivate consumers' consumption stickiness for these goods.

This legendary demigod did come to the Baltic Empire in the Northland with a political mission, and his target was the top of the Baltic Empire, a group of beautiful girls who held power and controlled a powerful country.

This is the primary goal, through this time of observation in the Baltic Empire, he has found that this primary goal is difficult to accomplish, those people are not the ones he has ever seen, with noble blood, the scope of activity is only in the small palace, naïve and full of fantasy princesses.

Therefore, at this stage, he has set his goal on the second place, by establishing a relationship with the Baltic Empire, gaining the opportunity to trade with the Baltic Empire, to obtain a large amount of money, and then use this money to expand his power.

Legendary demigods do seem to be very powerful, and they have an unusually close relationship with the gods, but in essence, in the Olympus god system, the most important thing is the legendary demigods.

In the region called Greece controlled by the Olympian gods, a large number of city-states were established, and almost every king of the city-state had the blood of the gods in them.

If there is no too dazzling power, there is no relatively excellent ability, the legendary demigod in that land is completely a very sparse and ordinary character, not worthy of people's attention.

The auction continued, but the Baltic army on alert did not show any relaxation of vigilance, the more critical the moment, the more they could not drop the chain, now Jutland has gathered an unknown number of strong people, mixed with fish and snakes, some of them are from outside the Northland, and they will not be afraid of the retribution of the Baltic Empire at all.

The main plane is vast, much more extensive than people think, as long as they have enough interests, these foreign powerhouses will definitely take action to snatch the auction items, and then do not set foot in the north afterwards, so they don't have to worry too much about the retaliation of the Baltic Empire.

Therefore, the Baltic Empire is more inclined to nip the signs of things in the bud when they just happen, rather than trying to solve them after they happen.

The assassins had already become active, and this was their active battlefield, and almost all of Hassan's presence had come to the venue to attack their targets according to the list they had obtained earlier.

Only they were able to assassinate so perfectly, without making any noise, without attracting the attention of others, without causing additional commotion, and in the face of enemies who did not reach the legendary level, Hassan's skills were absolutely crushing.

From the south, the valleys of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers came to this desolate northland, and the assassination group developed for a few years, not only returning to its peak in size, but also in the abilities of those Hassans.

In the past, to become a Hassan, you must have the merit of successfully assassinating a legend, and there is no hard requirement for your own ability, but now you must have the power of a legend and create your own unique assassination skills.

Such a request is not too much of a problem for those who have been Hassan's assassins for many years, but it is extremely difficult for those who have come after.

After so many years of the [Assasin] assassination organization coming to the Northlands, new conditions for recognition have appeared in Hassan, and after so many years, so many assassins, only one can succeed.

Qier, the last and only assassin to receive Hassan's title, is now hiding in the shadows of the venue, organizing her assassins to carry out assassinations on their targets in an orderly and planned manner.

Those unscrupulous people who tried to sabotage did not expect that the Baltic Empire would adopt the tactics of striking first, nor would they carry out such dangerous tactics at such an important auction.

If such a thing is exposed, then no matter what the reason for the beginning is, in terms of public opinion, the Baltic Empire will be in an absolute disadvantageous position, and many people are willing to add fuel to this matter, add fuel to the fire, and fall into the ground.

The auction held by the Baltic Empire was indeed convenient for many merchants, but it also attracted the hatred of some people, after all, a powerful empire that could unify the entire Northland was an unbearable thorn in the flesh for careerists in the Northland.

Of course, the likelihood of exposure is too low, this is the home of the Baltic Empire, they have planned from the beginning, and they have the last resort like Qil and Alice, and they are also ready to deal with exposure.

The hidden confrontation did not affect the auction, and now it is the fiftieth lot, which is a creature that looks exactly like the white dragon.

However, it was not a real white dragon, but a white dragon dragon beast, with the powerful body of a giant dragon, but without the dragon inheritance that has always been matched, without any wisdom and sanity, a pure beast.

Dragon beasts are not recognized as dragons, in the blood of dragons, they are regarded as a disgrace of shame, and they will be mercilessly thrown into the snow to fend for themselves at birth, and even some arrogant dragons will kill them with their own hands, and this kind of beast that insults their blood is not allowed to exist in this world.

It can be said that the status of dragon beasts is even lower than those wurms with thin blood, so the dragon beasts are put up for auction and sold, and it will not offend the nerves of those dragons and will not cause their hostility.

Just when the girl master of ceremonies on the stage had just finished introducing the young dragon beast and was about to start bidding, a look of surprise suddenly flashed on her face, and then she bent down and bowed her head to make an apologetic etiquette.

The drake on display behind her, the cage covered with black cloth again, was carried off the stage by several ice giants, and after a few minutes, the auction continued as if nothing had happened.
