Chapter 68: Can't be coaxed
"Lord Baron, there is a guest from the Chamber of Commerce of the Awakened out there who wants to visit you. ”
The farmer brought the news, which made Baron Edra stunned: "People from the Chamber of Commerce of the Awakened?"
Baron Edra had a small black box in front of him, on which the blood-colored circle was shining slightly, and An Baichen's voice came: "An unexpected guest came?"
"Yes, Lord Death. ”
Baron Edra nodded and said, "I was negotiating with the people of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce about the secret stone transaction just now, and he said that he would bring the money over in a while, but now it is the people of the Awakened Chamber of Commerce who are here." ”
"It seems that your operation was successful. ”
An Baichen smiled and said, "You can go and meet this guest." ”
"Then Lord Death, I'll cut off contact first?"
"No, you put away the black box, I can contact you in this way. An Baichen's voice sounded in Baron Edla's head: "I'm curious how this person from the Awakened Chamber of Commerce will discuss with you about the acquisition of the Secret Stone. ”
"Yes, Lord Death. ”
Baron Edra nodded respectfully, he was no longer surprised by Lord Death's various magical methods.
Baron Edra put away the black box and shouted outside, "Bring the guests in." ”
The farmer waiting outside answered.
After a while, a hearty laugh came from outside the door: "Mr. Edla, I am Leonard, the president of the Chamber of Commerce of the Awakened. ”
It was actually the president who came in person, and Baron Edra was a little panicked, he hadn't heard much about the Awakened Chamber of Commerce these days.
This is the top chamber of commerce in the Sand City, with abundant goods, many members, and hands and eyes.
Among the members of the Chamber of Commerce are many counts, dukes and other nobles.
Compared to the Edra family, the Awakened Chamber of Commerce is a behemoth, and raising a hand can make the Edra family completely die.
"Lord Death, this is a big chamber of commerce, I ......"
"What are you panicking about, I'm here. ”
An Baichen's voice sounded in Baron Edla's head: "Wait a while, I will tell you what to do and how to say." ”
"Okay, I'm doing everything to Lord Death. "It filled Baron Edla's heart with a sense of security.
"Bring people in. ”
Edra shouted, and the door was pushed open, and an old man in good spirits strode in, dressed in luxurious clothes and looking very noble.
"Hello, Mr. Edla. ”
Leonard put his hands on his chest and smiled and saluted.
As Leonard spoke, he was looking at Baron Edla, a businessman's habitual move.
Clean but somewhat old clothes, inferior fancy shoes, and gold rings on his hands with wear marks that look like they should be some years old.
"A poor aristocrat?"
This was Edla's first impression of Leonard, but Leonard felt that Baron Edra should not be as simple as he saw it.
How could a poor nobleman possess a vein of a secret stone?
Perhaps, this guy is pretending to be low-key.
Leonard thought a lot in a flash.
Amberson looked at Leonard through the eyes of the undead warrior while commanding Baron Edla.
Baron Edra looked Leonard up and down, he tried not to show nervousness, but said lightly: "The person I am waiting for is not you. ”
The old man looked very luxurious, with a pair of small eyes that shrewdly turned around, and he did not come alone, he was followed by several burly men, all of whom were covered in armor and had long swords hanging from their waists, and these were all knights.
"Yes, Mr. Edla, I apologize for the offense, but I hope you can believe that I have a sincere heart, and we may become each other's most trusted trading partners......." Leonard smiled and felt very comfortable.
Interrupt him and ask about the Dutch Chamber of Commerce. An Baichen's voice sounded in Baron Edla's head: "Don't panic, be bold, and show your temper as a nobleman." ”
Baron Edra glanced at Leonard and said, "I want to know where the Knox of the Caravan is in the Netherlands? ”
"Don't hide it from Mr. Edla, the Netherlands Caravan is actually a subordinate organization of the Awakened Chamber of Commerce, and Knox is my servant, I don't think the strength of the Netherlands Caravan is enough to make this deal with a big customer like you. ”
Leonard confidently spoke, "As a sign of respect for you, I am willing to trade with you as a member of the Chamber of the Awakened. Please trust Mr. Edra in my strength, I am a duke nobleman of the Kingdom of Xusen, and I have enough wealth to offer you. ”
The duke and nobles of the Kingdom of Xusen!
Edra shuddered, feeling a little weak in her legs. The Edra family is the aristocratic family of the Ruinsin Kingdom, and they have been barons for generations, and they are the lowest existence of the aristocratic class.
The rank of the official crushes people to death, and the status of the duke and nobility is several ranks higher than that of the baron.
It's like a village chief talking to a central leader, and Baron Edra is expressionless, but in fact, he is already panicking.
Fortunately, the Edra family has been in the depths of the Gobi all the year round, and it is too obscure, and it has been forgotten by the royal family of the Ruinson Kingdom, otherwise, if Leonard recognizes his barony status, Edra will not be able to continue to maintain his composure.
But even now, Baron Edra didn't know how to continue talking.
A rural nobleman really doesn't have the courage to negotiate the content of a deal with a duke nobleman.
"Forget it, I'll tell you, you repeat. Amberchen felt Baron Edla's panic and fear, and couldn't help but sigh.
Leonard had been observing Edla, who had been silent, expressionless, with a pair of eyes looking straight ahead, very disrespectful to himself.
But the more this happened, the more Leonard felt that Edra was not simple.
He has already revealed his identity as a duke, and he still looks like he loves to answer, and he definitely has enough confidence!
Leonard was very patient, he waited a long time before Baron Edra calmed down his panic and spoke in a calm enough voice: "Who gave you the courage to change my trading partner at will?"
God knows how much courage it took for Edra to say this, Lord Death, you are so overbearing to let a baron say such arrogant things to the duke.
Leonard was stunned for a moment, although Edla's tone was calm, but his words were obviously full of dissatisfaction, and it could even be said that it was already a kind of reprimand.
According to the temper of ordinary dukes and nobles, in the face of such a person who does not know what to do, he can send his knights to kill him directly.
However, Sand City is a complex place, and the composition of the people here is very mixed, although Sand City is located on the border of the Ruin Forest Kingdom, there are people of all kinds here, and there are often big names from other countries and forces.
After thinking about it for a while, Leonard smiled and said, "I'm very sorry for this, but in fact, I haven't changed your trading partner, because the caravan in the Netherlands is also one of my property, and strictly speaking, I am also your trading partner, but I don't think Knox is qualified to negotiate the specific content of the transaction with you as a servant, because it is disrespectful to you." ”
"As a sign of my respect for you, as the owner of Knox, I have come to meet you in person. ”
"Also, I've heard that you've brought a lot of secret stones to sell this time...... Forgive my offense, but the caravans of the Netherlands do not have the financial resources to eat your Secret Stone, and only I am qualified to satisfy your appetite. ”
"I hope you will give me a chance to be your trading partner, and I will definitely give you a price that you are happy with. ”
Leonard explained very seriously, and his words were smooth and apologetic.
Edra was very impressed, he felt that Leonard was very sincere, but the Grim Reaper did not let him say yes: "I don't see your sincerity. ”
Holding rare resources in his hands, there is no reason to sell them without waiting for the price, An Baichen doesn't care about the price of the secret stone, what he cares about is to use the opportunity to sell the secret stone to contact more potential people from the other world.
Edla's voice was calm, he didn't look at Leonard, as if he didn't have this person in his eyes: "You go, I'm not selling." ”
Heaven testifies that it's not that Edra looks down on Leonard, it's that he really doesn't have the confidence to look Leonard in the eye.
"Mr. Edla, listen to me......"
Leonard was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took two steps forward, he still wanted to fight for it, after all, if this mysterious Mr. Edra had nearly 10,000 secret stones to sell in his hands, this was a rare commodity that he was very eager for.
If Leonard could eat the goods, he felt that he could definitely make a lot of money by operating on his own, and even win the king's favor and admiration.
The Kingdom of Xusen is a commercial kingdom, and it has never had its own secret stone vein, so as a state-owned enterprise, the Awakened Chamber of Commerce needs the most important commodity is the secret stone.
"Ka Cha!"
The undead warrior behind Edra suddenly took a step forward, drew his bone knife, and his voice was cold and stiff: "You, stop. ”
"My, master, let you go. ”
"Again, forward, one step, kill!"
Hearing the words of the undead warrior, Baron Edra trembled, and his heart trembled, and he almost couldn't sit still.
God testifies, he didn't command the undead warriors to come forward!
This is the meaning of Lord Death, Lord Duke, I definitely have no intention of killing you!
"Choking!"
Seeing the black-robed man behind Edra suddenly draw his weapon, a young knight behind Leonard couldn't help but stand up and draw his long sword
"How dare you be rude to the Duke!"
The young knight roared, and the long sword slashed decisively at the black-robed man.
As a loyal knight, he would not allow anyone to threaten the life of his master.
"Bang!"
The undead knight's bone knife rippled with a gray-white undead breath, colliding with the young knight's long sword.
The fighting aura light on the long sword shrank suddenly, and it dimmed a lot.
"Rub and go. ”
The swords of the two sides collided, and under the feedback of the huge force, the young knight couldn't help but take several steps back and almost fell, while the black-robed man in his eyes just shook his body, steady as Mount Tai.
This is a skeleton soldier with the talent of [Giant Strength], and his combat power is a few points stronger than the previous Bone Aotian.
As long as it's not a mid-level knight, it can take offense at all enemies.
"What do you want to do!"
Another middle-aged knight helped the young knight to stand up and let out a loud shout.
"Bang!"
The scorching fighting aura erupted, and the powerful aura overflowed.
As the middle-aged knight spoke, the knights around him drew their weapons one after another, looking at Edra and the black-robed people around him vigilantly.
Leonard's eyes shrank, and he fell silent, silently stepping back.
This Mr. Edra is really not simple.
The strength of any servant can completely abuse a low-level knight, and there are twenty such black-robed servants by his side.
"A mid-level knight?" An Baichen could roughly sense the state of the undead warriors, and they felt a trace of pressure when facing this middle-aged knight.
Obviously, the strength of this middle-aged knight is very strong, at least the strength of a middle-level knight.
Hearing Lord Death's muttering in his head, Baron Edra felt even more panicked: "Lord Death, why don't we just leave it at that?"
This is an intermediate knight, and he doesn't have enough force to match him.
Anbaichen rejected Edla's offer: "No, not now. ”
Baron Edra felt that he was about to cry, it was supposed to be a good business negotiation, why did he suddenly draw his sword against him?
