The cheating slave was ordered by the middle-aged man to be put down.

At this time, what was more important than teaching the slave was that he had a good talk with Zhu Tian, at this time, the middle-aged man made a contemplative gesture, thought for a long time, and finally, he said: "Five thousand gold coins, a noble cane made of Sandy wood, I will buy it with five thousand gold coins! One million gold coins, I only need you to pay me two hundred noble canes." ”

Zhu Tian looked at him suspiciously, he didn't know why this middle-aged man with a huge amount of wealth wanted to increase the price himself. His intuition told him that the other party would have the corresponding conditions next: "Say what you want." "I appreciate the way you cut the price, everything can be discussed." ”

"The ability you have shown has shown that you are qualified enough to speak to me on an equal footing, and I have voluntarily raised the purchase price significantly in the hope that you will gain your friendship. The middle-aged man said slowly.

Zhu Tian was still silent, because he knew that the other party had not finished speaking. This middle-aged man is a businessman, not a philanthropist, so there is no reason to give such a big profit to Zhu Tian.

Sure enough, just as Zhu Tian thought, he only heard the middle-aged man say slowly: "I want the power to operate alone, except for our auction house, you can't sell or sell everything made by Sandy Wood to other merchants." As long as you agree to this condition, I am willing to pay more gold coins. ”

Zhu Tian was stunned for more than ten seconds, and he thought to himself. This is an ambitious fellow! By doing so, he has obtained a monopoly on the Sandy wood market! With a monopoly, he has the final say on all prices in the market. Because there are no other competitors in the whole market!

Think about it, if Zhu Tian sold him a few hundred noble canes, and then turned around and sold hundreds of noble canes to other merchants. Then he loses control of the market, and a price war is inevitable.

With the monopoly power, he can sell slowly and leisurely, stir up the emotions of the entire market, and then only need to take them out for auction one after another, and he can definitely get huge profits!

Zhu Tian couldn't help but start admiring this guy a little. First of all, because of what happened before, the two have become in opposing camps. As for the other party, he couldn't help but be patient and continue to talk with himself, and even gave up great benefits, such courage made Zhu Tian look sideways. What makes Zhu Tian even more important is that the other party not only has such a mind, but also has extraordinary foresight!

Finally, Zhu Tian thought of his rhetoric and said with a smile:

"One year! I'll give you a one-year monopoly! During this year, I won't sell noble canes to anyone else. And after a year, it's not up to you, of course, after a year, if you still want to talk to me about cooperation, I will give priority. ”

"Monopoly? is a very new word, yes, I want to monopolize power. The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, and then smiled: "One year is okay, it's not enough to wait for a year, we need to reformulate the price of the noble cane." After all, there are only a few thousand powerful people on the mainland who can afford to buy noble canes, and the market for noble canes will eventually be saturated. Of course, if the market needs it, I will also increase the purchase price appropriately, you can rest assured. It just so happens that I also need a year to test the market. ”

"Okay, prepare 100,000 gold coins, and come to my family's lumber yard to get twenty noble canes. Zhu Tian retracted his gaze and raised his hand to tidy up his cuffs.

Because of the recovery of his mental strength, Zhu Tian's capital for installing lamps has increased a point. At this time, he still had the undead qi brought out of the Tower of the Dead in his body, and his style naturally changed.

There is no polite goodbye, and there is no pleasantry gesture. He just got up and left.

Frank and his party followed him.

The middle-aged man was left alone in the room, thinking, and he watched as he mentally relived all the conversations with the young man in the blue hat. At this time, he realized that he didn't know the other party's name.

After more than ten minutes of silent contemplation, he finally got up from his chair and wanted to leave here.

However, the door suddenly opened.

I saw a short-haired man in a bright red robe walking in unhurriedly.

Just at a glance, this giant on the mainland, the owner of the auction house, was stunned. At this time, he didn't make any movements, but just a single look revealed the hidden fear in his heart.

"You don't have to worry. After the red-robed man walked in, he sat down in the seat that Zhu Tian had done before, "I also know that you have two bright spears in your vault, and I also know that you are selling Sandy sticks without permission." Well, while both of these are clearly violations of the Cult of Light's prohibitions, I'm not bothering about your right now. ”

The middle-aged man's body soothed a little. "Your Excellency," he said, with a religious chest-troking salute, and then said respectfully, "for more than ten years, our family's contribution to the Cult of the Illuminati has been evident to all. Thousands of churches throughout the kingdom, large and small, have received donations from our family, and I hope you will ...... Cardinal."

It turned out that this red-robed man was one of the few cardinals in the Cult of Light!

"As I said, I'm not here to find you, if you like to donate, just keep donating. The cardinals brushed lightly over the handle of the chair he was sitting on, then looked at the ten circles on the table. He reached with his fingers, then slowly closed his eyes.

The moment he closed his eyes, it was like a supernatural power, or a miracle from the god of light. At that moment, a white light appeared in his mind. A figure in a blue hat flashed in the white light, and I saw the blue hat sitting there talking boastfully:

"I have carefully studied this continent and read countless classical books, so I naturally have calculations in my heart. Take the current kingdom of Arkor as an example, there are a total of 941 large and small cities and countless villages and towns in the entire kingdom. The largest city, the royal capital, has more than 300,000 people. The farthest and most affluent East Bay is home to countless treasures and exotic birds......"

If the middle-aged man standing across the table saw the picture in the white light in the cardinal's mind, he would definitely recognize that it was a reversal of all the pictures from more than ten minutes ago! However, where could he see such a miraculous picture, he could only stand there silently, waiting for the cardinal's instructions.

"Okay, prepare 100,000 gold coins, and come to my family's lumber yard to get twenty noble canes. Finally, the cardinal saw the young man in the blue hat say such a sentence in his mind, and then turned and walked straight out the door.

At this moment, the cardinal's spirit tensed, and he wanted to see the face of the young man in the blue hat in the white light. But when he pulled his line of sight, he found that beneath the blue hat was a yellow mist of chaotic gas. Like an abyssal vortex with a powerful attraction and tearing force, the misty chaotic gas directly crushed part of the cardinal's consciousness!

Suddenly, the cardinal sat there with his eyes closed, and his whole body could not contain spasms.

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man across the table unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of spit.

Finally, the cardinal calmed down, and by this time, his forehead was already covered with sweat. With a heavy gasp, the cardinal opened his misty eyes, and he muttered to himself:

"What does the chaos in this kid represent?"

"Your Excellency...... Can you say that again?"

"I didn't ask you," the cardinal shook his head, then asked in a deep voice, "though, how did you know that guy?"

"You mean the 'blue hat' who just walked out of here?" The middle-aged man asked tentatively, and seeing that the other party nodded slowly, he continued: "Lord Bishop, to tell you the truth, I don't know him, we have spoken twice, but I still don't know his name. ”

"What does he make you feel?" the cardinal threw out another question.

The blue-hat figure appeared in the middle-aged man's mind, and he slowly said a few words like this:

"What the hell...... He is the extraordinary person in my mind, the one who snoops inside and knows all the secrets. Like the pastor in a church, the young man seemed to know everything. ”

"If I could, I would love to be true friends with such people. If it weren't for that, I'd be going to be at least a thousand miles away from his area. Or go further afield. ”

"If he were my enemy, I would have no sleep. I'd rather cross the Endless Wall and walk into the Endless Forest than be an enemy of such a person. ”

The cardinal listened to such words with a blank expression, and then touched the table with his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

The middle-aged man stood opposite, a little confused about his thoughts, and said with a hint of heart: "Lord Bishop, if you have any doubts, I will immediately terminate my cooperation with him. I know that if you want to stand on this continent, you will never be able to do without the support of the Cult of Light and the Royal Family, and the power you represent is what our family wants to rely on, so I will follow your instructions. ”

"Huh...... I really don't know how you survived for thousands of years under the erosion of the two powers before the royal power annexed the divine power. The cardinal stared deeply into the orange-yellow pupils of the middle-aged man, "I want to remind you that your family has collected fifty percent of the wealth on the mainland, which is a bad phenomenon, even if you scatter more than half of your wealth to envelop the royal family and the Cult of the Illuminati, in the end, you will never be able to stop a careerist from prying into you." ”

It is to stop your prying eyes that we will frantically amass wealth, Lord Bishop, you have said the wrong thing, our Childs family has already swallowed up 80% of the wealth on the mainland.

Keep a low profile, continue to keep a low profile, even in the face of a small aristocracy. The only motto of the Childs family at this time. "Yes, you are right, I will certainly take your words as holy words and always remember to recite them silently. ”

The cardinal, with deep golden eyes and a high hairline, sighed slowly:

"I won't care about your business, you can do whatever you want, it's just that you have to remind your patriarch at all times, that old man who has lived for an unknown number of years. You have to tell him that all the wealth of this continent cannot be collected in the hands of one man, so that he can learn to be content, and stop in moderation. ”

"I will convey your words to the patriarch. The middle-aged man said respectfully, "Hmm...... It's a good idea to ask you to draw up a manuscript so that you can be more vigilant. ”

"No need. The cardinal flatly refused.

The two men were silent for a while, and then, as if he had made a decision, the cardinal got up and left the room.

The next moment, he appeared at the door of the auction house and walked north. What he walked was the same path that Zhu Tian had walked.
