Chapter 73: Leonard's Calculations
"The Kentah Union Chamber of Commerce has always competed with us, we have auctions and they have auctions, we have reached out to Edla, and they have contact. ”
The middle-aged knight took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Lord Duke, now is a good opportunity, if the forces behind Edra are really strong, we can take this opportunity to kill Edla, and we can completely frame the blame on the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce." ”
Everyone saw Edra go to the auction with Nigel of the Kenta Union Chamber of Commerce, and if Edra was assassinated at this time, Nigel and the Kenta Union Chamber of Commerce would not be able to clear their suspicions at all.
If there is really a mysterious force behind Edla, then for the big forces, they don't need to find the so-called murderer at all, as long as killing every suspect is revenge.
"Wait. ”
Leonard hesitated for a long time before finally speaking slowly: "Get ready for the carriage, I'm going to the auction of the Kenta Union Chamber of Commerce." ”
Leonard is cautious by nature, and he doesn't want to make a move now, because it's not yet possible to determine how powerful the forces behind Edra really are.
If it's really a wizard, then there are all means to find out who the real murderer is.
"Yes, Lord Duke. ”
The middle-aged knight nodded, and left the room to prepare the carriage.
At the same time, Edra and Nigel have arrived at the auction house of the Kenta Union Chamber of Commerce.
"Mr. Edla, please be seated. ”
Nigel led Edra to a spacious box and smiled at Edla.
The entire box has three walls, and one without a wall, facing the auction hall.
Edra looked up and saw a red fluffy blanket beneath her feet, made of animal fur for some reason, that covered the entire box.
In the middle of the box was a plain black wooden table with wine cups, fruit and meat, and several chaise longues with cushions next to the wooden table.
Next to the chair is a beautifully carved bookcase, which, with other decorations, makes the whole room look magnificent.
There were several maids standing in the room, all of them beautiful, smiling, and with a fresh and unconventional temperament.
What shocked and silenced Baron Edra the most was that in the depths of the box, there was a small room with a curtain and a large bed......
Nigel saw Baron Edla's eyes fall on the bed in the inner room, and then he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I don't see that Mr. Edra is not accompanied by a maid, maybe he came out in a hurry, right?"
Baron Edra sat down and spoke in a calm voice: "My master is very strict, I can't take a woman with me when I do things. ”
"Well, although the master has set the rules, how can a person of such dignity as Mr. Edra go out without the service of a slave girl?"
Nigel pointed to these maids beside him, and said with a smile: "If Mr. Edra does not dislike it, I am the master of these women to give to you, and if your master blames it, it will be said that it is a gift from the Kenta Union Chamber of Commerce." ”
These women are specially trained, and for the Kenta Union, they are gifts that can be given at will.
Hell, am I such a person?
Baron Edra was very moved, but he didn't dare to agree easily, his master was Lord Death, and he really didn't have the courage to accept beauties under the nose of his master.
"Nope. ”
Baron Edra shook his head and said lightly: "If the master knows that I have violated the rules he has set, not only will I suffer, but your chamber of commerce will also lose the appreciation and trust of the master. ”
Nigel nodded understandingly: "Okay, then I won't force it, if Baron Edra needs it, tell me at any time, I have all kinds of women here." ”
Baron Edra almost couldn't help but agree, how could there be such a watery and seductive girl in the Gobi territory, he really wanted to take one back.
Seeing that Baron Edra was silent, Nigel smiled and took the initiative to pour wine, finding a topic and chatting all over the world.
But most of the time it was Nigel who spoke, and Baron Edra replied absentmindedly, with a very contemptuous attitude.
The more Edra was like this, the more enthusiastic Nigel became.
He hasn't been asking a lot about Edla's information these days, the information that the Awakened Chamber of Commerce knows, and the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce also knows.
This Mr. Edra has a large number of secret stones, and there are special warrior servants around him who are very likely to be made by wizards, so the forces behind him are definitely not weak, and at least one wizard is among them.
If you can have a good relationship with a wizard, then the benefits are really too many.
"Mr. Edla, there are a lot of good things in today's auction, would you like to participate in it?"
Nigel didn't wait for Edra to speak, and took the initiative to give benefits: "The distinguished guests of the auction can all have free auction gold coins from the Chamber of Commerce, most of which are about 10,000 to 50,000 gold coins. ”
"These auction gold coins are all provided by our Chamber of Commerce, and guests can use them to auction their favorite items, and I will give you 200,000 auction gold coins on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce!"
Nigel smiled: "From the establishment of our Chamber of Commerce to the present, you are the only one who has enjoyed such a high price. ”
Edla's heart moved, 200,000 gold coins will be given to you for free, this stroke is really atmospheric.
He could see that the focus of this so-called auction was not on the gold coins earned from the sale of items, but on the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce to attract some worthy customers.
To be honest, Baron Edla's gift from Nigel was very excited, and he could use the 200,000 gold coins to buy things needed for the territory or buy some treasures.
But unfortunately, Lord Death disagreed.
How could a mysterious and powerful image that was rarely maintained be destroyed because of 200,000 gold coins?
It's only 200,000 gold coins, and An Baichen wants more.
"Oh?"
Edra smiled and said, "I don't want to auction off here. ”
According to the Reaper-sama's request, Edra said this in an extremely indifferent tone, and even had a trace of contempt in his eyes.
"I know that Mr. Edra will not like these things at auction, but if there is something new, you can consider it. ”
Nigel smiled, and the auction began quickly.
The box where Edra and the others were located was at the highest point of the entire auction hall, and the view was very good and condescending. One by one, the items were put on the table, and to be honest, Edra was very tempted, but the Grim Reaper-sama did not speak, and he did not dare to bid on the items casually.
However, Nigel is very understanding, he has been drinking with Edra to relieve his boredom, and with a beautiful woman sitting on the left and right by his side, Edra is also happy.
Lord Death didn't speak, and Edra didn't dare to talk nonsense, most of the time Nigel was talking, and Edra was listening.
Time flies and the auction is over.
"Mr. Edla, it's almost evening, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to dinner?"
"Yes. ”
An Baichen's voice appeared in Edla's mind again, and Edra breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed.
Nigel was overjoyed, and he felt very fortunate that Mr. Edra had never refused to contact him, and it was a very good start.
If you work harder, you may be able to negotiate this matter before the president returns.
If he can win such a large list for the Chamber of Commerce, he will not be able to find the position of the next president in his pocket.
The Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce is a group of several chambers of commerce with good scale and strength, in fact, in terms of the strength of the Chamber of Commerce, the overall strength of the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce is stronger than the Chamber of Commerce of the Awakened.
The Kenta Union Chamber of Commerce has a president and two vice presidents, and the division of rights is clear.
But if you encounter particularly important business and guests, or when you need to wrestle with the Chamber of Commerce of the Awakened, the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce will be together.
However, due to the complex internal structure of the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce and the fierce struggle for power, many times the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce is pressed by the Awakened Chamber of Commerce everywhere.
Nigel is the vice president of the Kenta Union Chamber of Commerce, but he actually has his own members and servants of the Chamber of Commerce, and although they nominally belong to the Kenta Union Chamber of Commerce, these members only obey Nigel's orders and instructions.
"Lord Duke, they're gone. ”
The middle-aged knight walked out of the auction after Leonard, and he whispered to Leonard, "Lord Duke, what should we do now. ”
"Let's go back. ”
Leonard shook his head and said lightly: "Nigel does have some skills, if nothing else, Mr. Edra will choose to trade with him." ”
"Huh?"
The middle-aged knight's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Then don't we have a chance to interfere?"
He knew that the Duke was very fond of Mr. Edla, and that there was a very high probability that there was a whole vein of secret stones hidden behind this man, which was the most lacking thing in the Kingdom of Ruin.
If he succeeds in taking this vein, it will be a great political boost for the Duke.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged knight couldn't help but look serious, knelt behind the Duke and whispered, "Lord Duke, make a move." ”
"With the help of Lord Yadli, and the help of me and the other knights, we will be able to take down Edra and then torture the location of that secret stone vein. ”
"And then?"
Leonard smiled, and the middle-aged knight said without hesitation: "With Mr. Yardli here, we just need to find the exact location of that secret stone vein, and directly lead the knight team to kill it, and completely occupy the secret stone vein!"
"It's too risky. ”
Leonard shook his head and rejected the offer: "I can't see through Edra just yet, if he still has a strong hidden power, we will lose badly." ”
The middle-aged knight was very unwilling: "Lord Duke, are we just watching the secret stone vein being taken by Nigel?"
"I know your loyalty, but it's not a good time to strike. ”
Leonard said lightly: "This Mr. Edra has a very strange temper, Nigel wants to take down the entire vein, and it can't be done with just one transaction. ”
"I estimate that he can negotiate the purchase of the nearly 10,000 secret stones at most today, and even if he succeeds in buying these secret stones, he can't enjoy them exclusively. ”
"I've heard that the president of the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce is already on his way back to Sand City, and the other members of the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce will definitely force Nigel to hand over Mr. Edra so that they can share the benefits of the Secret Stone Vein. ”
Leonard said lightly: "The Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce will inevitably fall into an internal struggle because of Edla, and then it will be our chance to contact Edla." ”
The middle-aged knight was stunned for a moment, and said convincingly: "I'm not as good as Lord Duke." ”
The Kenta Union Chamber of Commerce is very strong, and the members of the Chamber of Commerce are generally in harmony with each other, but the appearance of Edra represents a huge benefit, and no one will easily retreat in such a situation.
The Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce will definitely fall into infighting because of Edla, and the Awakened Chamber of Commerce will naturally be able to sit back and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman.
"Let's go back. ”
Leonard smiled and turned to leave the auction.
Even so, Leonard's heart was still dripping blood.
The secret stone is no more precious than other precious commodities, this is a truly valuable thing, each secret stone is a strategic material, and it is something that all kingdoms and forces in the entire Eske continent crave.
Don't look at Leonard's previous price of only quoting 500 gold coins to Edla, but if Edra really opened his mouth, Leonard was willing to buy these secret stones at a higher price.
"I've lost nearly 10,000 secret stones now, but I'll definitely take them back with interest!"
Leonard glanced in the direction Edra and Nigel had left, whispered to himself, and got into the carriage.
