Chapter 301: Forming a Mercenary Group
Soon, Wang Fan, Belle, and Akara showed the invitation to the doorman, and then walked into the Imperial Auction House. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There was a huge hall in the auction hall, and there were many seats in it, and those seats were already full of people, and most of them were luxuriously dressed dignitaries, or mages in mage robes, ordinary people were not able to participate in the auction here, and they were not even qualified to enter here.
Wang Fan, Belle, and Akara sat down on a few seats in the back.
Soon, a middle-aged auctioneer with smooth and shiny hair walked up to the auction table and announced loudly: "Today we are mainly dealing with the property of Raleigh, a slave trader who was sentenced to hanging, please bid enthusiastically, the reserve price is 10,000 gold coins, and the price will be increased at least 100 gold coins each time, who wants to bid?" ”
A middle-aged man dressed as a wealthy businessman suddenly raised his hand and said, "I'll give 10,000 gold coins!" ”
Immediately, another wealthy old merchant raised his hand and said, "I'll give you 11,000 gold coins!" ”
The middle-aged rich merchant looked at the old rich merchant and said unwillingly: "I will pay 1500 gold!" ”
The old rich merchant glanced at the middle-aged rich merchant with disdain, and said lightly: "Eleven thousand gold!" ”
But at this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a nobleman suddenly raised his hand and said, "Twelve thousand gold!" ”
Suddenly, the surrounding bidders looked at each other.
The average wealthy merchant is still relatively aristocratic, so when the nobles make a bid, they begin to retreat a little.
At this time, Wang Fan slowly raised his hand and said, "Thirteen thousand gold!" ”
The middle-aged nobleman suddenly glared at Wang Fan dissatisfied.
However, when he saw the aristocratic dress on Wang Fan's body, which represented his noble status, and the magic badge that represented his junior mage's identity, his eyes immediately shrank, and he quickly put away his dissatisfaction.
In the Magic Empire, the status of a mage is even higher than that of a nobleman, and Wang Fan also has the status of a nobleman and a mage at the same time, which makes ordinary nobles very jealous of him.
But at this time, another man dressed as a mage raised his hand and said, "Thirteen thousand five hundred gold!" ”
The person dressed as a mage is Orlando who was defeated by Wang Fan yesterday.
After a day of not seeing him, the injuries on his body had already healed, and he should have paid someone to heal him with a healing spell.
This guy doesn't know what his background is, he looks like he is wealthy, and he is looking at Wang Fan with a provocative face at this time, as if he wants to do something against Wang Fan.
Seeing this, Wang Fan smiled coldly and said, "It turned out to be you, Orlando, why, you were just defeated by me, did you forget the pain so quickly?" ”
Orlando sneered and said: "Turtle in the countryside, it's just luck that you can beat me, but in this auction house, you rely on strength to speak, I'll see how you win me!" ”
Wang Fan shook his head, raised his hand and said, "Twenty thousand gold!" ”
Wang Fan unexpectedly raised the price to 20,000 gold all of a sudden, which immediately made the surrounding bidders gasp.
The auctioneer on the auction table said excitedly: "20,000 gold, will anyone still increase the price?" ”
Orlando gritted his teeth and said, "Twenty-eleven thousand gold!" ”
Wang Fan sneered and said, "Thirty thousand gold!" ”
Wang Fan's bid immediately caused another uproar among the surrounding bidders.
Raleigh's property is actually worth about 20,000 gold, and Wang Fan raised the price to 30,000 gold at once, which is already half of the premium.
Wang Fan sneered at Orlando: "How about it, do you dare to follow, keep saying that others are country turtles, but in fact, you yourself are country turtles, and I think even if you dare to follow, it is just a price increase of 1,000 gold, and the country turtles who cut the door!" ”
"You!" Orlando suddenly turned red with anger when he heard this, and said through gritted teeth: "Okay, I'll pay 40,000 gold!" ”
There was an uproar among the surrounding bidders, but they looked at Orlando with a bit of mockery, clearly looking at a fool.
Wang Fan shook his head and said: "I can't imagine that someone would be so stupid, spend 40,000 gold to buy a property with a market price of 20,000 gold, and if you have money, you can't buy a good house, so let Raleigh's property be given to you!" ”
With that, Wang Fan got up and walked out of the auction hall with Belle and Akara.
"Damn it, you dare to fool me!" Orlando looked at Wang Fan's back, and infinite resentment appeared on his face.
After leaving the Imperial Auction House, Belle said to Wang Fan a little worriedly: "Young Master, that Orlando can come up with so much money to participate in the auction, either rich or expensive, if you offend him, I'm afraid he will retaliate against you!" ”
Wang Fan smiled and said: "It's okay, this guy is just an upstart with no background, a real nobleman will not wear so many magic rings on his hands, nor will he participate in magic gladiatorial fights, and just rely on an upstart to take revenge on the top students of the Royal Academy of Magic, he doesn't have that ability!" ”
As he spoke, Wang Fan took Belle and Akara to a large building.
On the gate of this building, there are several big words written on the mercenary guild.
"Young Master, what are you doing in the Mercenary Guild?" Belle asked, stunned.
Wang Fan smiled and said: "I want to buy Raleigh's real estate, originally I wanted to use his house as a factory and hire workers to help refine a large number of alchemy potions and sell them to make money, but now the plan has failed, but I have so much money on hand, I can establish a large mercenary group to help me regain the lost territory, and when the time comes, I can build as many factories as I want in my own territory!" ”
With that, Wang Fan took Belle and Akara into the mercenary guild.
The interior of the mercenary guild is a large hotel, the first floor of the hotel has a bar and a canteen, at this time the bar of the bar is already full of drinking mercenaries, and the canteen is also full of people, hundreds of mercenaries are eating and talking.
After Wang Fan, Belle, and Akara walked into the Mercenary Guild, they immediately attracted the attention of these mercenaries.
Suddenly, those mercenaries turned their heads to look at the three of them, and expressions of greed or curiosity appeared on their faces.
Belle was uncomfortable and hurriedly hid behind Wang Fan.
Akara snorted coldly and pulled the black cloak closer to his body.
Wang Fan smiled indifferently and said to the bartender at the bar: "Give everyone in the audience a glass of ale wine, I'll treat you!" ”
Suddenly, those mercenaries cheered and toasted Wang Fan.
Wang Fan is so bold, he will definitely not come to grab business with them, but a big money master, of course these mercenaries will not offend the money owner without a brain, they will only stutter desperately.
The bartender quickly brought a bottle of ale wine to every table in the audience, and served Wang Fan a glass of more expensive fruit wine.
Wang Fan raised his glass and drank the fruit wine, and then said loudly: "I am the baron lord of Winter Town on the northern border, Fast, due to the invasion of foreign races in the north, I lost my territory, and now I have become a mage, and I have made a lot of money, I am ready to form a large mercenary group, take my territory back, after regaining the territory, the people of the mercenary group will be able to turn into regular soldiers of the lord's guard, with a fixed monthly salary and pension, and those who have made outstanding achievements can also be canonized as knights and obtain sub-feudal territories!" ”
Listening to Wang Fan's words, those mercenaries suddenly showed their expressions of interest.
