Chapter 69: There is someone behind him
In a world where the class hierarchy is deeply entrenched, no one will sympathize with you because you are weak.
When it is necessary to show force, it is absolutely impossible to retreat easily, otherwise it will only invite more trouble.
It's just a mid-level knight, and it's a big deal to summon Bone Aotian.
Anbaichen didn't speak, Edra didn't dare to take the initiative to speak, and Leonard on the other side was silent.
The black-robed man and the knights were facing each other tensely, and the atmosphere in the air was a little solemn.
This strange confrontation of silence lasted for a while, and Leonard took the initiative to relieve it: "Mr. Edla, I am very sorry for the offense of my knights. ”
"He was only worried about my safety, so he intervened, just as the servants around you also cared about your life, I hope Mr. Edra will understand. ”
"Also, there is a ...... about the trade of secret stones."
Leonard looked at Baron Edra and said word by word: "I am willing to pay the price of 500 gold coins each!"
This is much higher than three times the purchase price in the Mystic Stone market.
Baron Edra waved his hand, still not saying, "You go." ”
"I hope you'll think again, and I'll visit you another day. ”
Leonard sighed, then put his hands on his chest and saluted, then turned to leave, his knight vigilantly following behind him and leaving the room.
After leaving the room, Edra finally couldn't hold it anymore, and lay on the chair panting as if she had collapsed, a thin layer of sweat floating on her forehead.
"Look at your unproductive appearance, but a duke in business, does it scare you like this?" Ann Baichen's voice sounded in Edla's head.
"I ......"
Baron Edra opened his mouth, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Big brother, you are a god of death, a god on high! Of course you will not be afraid of a duke!
But I'm just a country lord, and a duke is no different from a king to me!
"Remember who you are, you are my agent, and you need not fear anyone. ”
Amberchen noticed Baron Edla's silence, but he didn't explain much.
In the face of a person whose status is much higher than oneself, you must blindly cater and flatter, so that you will only lose yourself and be usurped by others to plunder the wealth and resources that originally belonged to you.
In this case, the best thing to do is to show your strengths and hole cards to make the other person wary or afraid, so that you can talk as equals.
Leonard couldn't guess the identity of Baron Edra at all, after all, there were too many mysterious and low-key travelers in Sand City, and no one would venture to make a feud with them without knowing the details of the other party.
The undead warriors showed their strength just right, and the massive number of secret stones must make people think that Edra has a background that is not simple.
Either way, Edra had no reason to be afraid of Leonard.
With the most scarce thing in the market, why not take control of the pricing power?
As long as he succeeds in creating the mysterious and powerful image of Edra in the Sand City, there will be countless potential people who will come into contact with him, and An Baichen will be able to choose the right undead summoner among them.
"I'll teach you how to do it, and I'll get you the highest price for the stone, but you must follow every word I say and command. ”
"Yes, Lord Death. ”
Baron Edra nodded hurriedly, seizing the opportunity to express his loyalty: "Lord Death, rest assured, I will always be your most loyal servant, and I will definitely obey all your orders." ”
Edra breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he felt that he was not suitable for contact with the people of the Awakened Chamber of Commerce, he did not have the confidence and confidence of Lord Death, and Edra would always be unconsciously cowardly when facing these big people.
Ambethson smiled, noncommittal about Baron Edla's loyalty. He doesn't trust anyone, he only believes in what he's gotten his hands on.
He could see very clearly that he and Baron Edra were just taking what they needed. Amberchen needs new summoners and a steady stream of sacrifices, and Baron Edra wants to use the power of the undead to invigorate his family and domain.
An Baichen also thought of directly using force to occupy Edla's territory and mineral veins, but he was not an evil person in his bones. The second is that the summoning connection between him and Baron Edra requires not only the black box, but also Baron Edla's subjective level of sensing and constructing a dimensional connection.
The black box is an item left by the previous Grim Reaper, not a dimensional medium created by An Baichen, and he has no absolute means of controlling it.
Ainson had read in the Lich's notes about the Black Box, and if Edra was resistant to the summoning, Ainson would no longer be able to contact Edra through the Black Box, and Edra would lose her status as the Undead Summoner.
All summoned undead will be forcibly cut off from the undead world due to the loss of their dimensional coordinates, and become lonely ghosts, not under the control of Edra and Amberchen.
Although Baron Edra did not know this, Amberchen did not want to take risks lightly. Because the result of the risk may be a relatively large loss.
At present, it seems that although Amberchen does not intend to fully trust Baron Edla, he has always been very well-behaved and loyal.
Anbaichen did not dare to say that Baron Edra was completely loyal to him, at least the interests between them were deeply entangled.
The deeper the relationship of interest between each other, in fact, is itself a kind of unbreakable loyalty.
An Baichen opened his mouth to explain some things to Baron Edla, and finally instructed: "If anyone contacts you again, you must contact me as soon as possible." ”
Baron Edra was very moved, Lord Death was so kind to me, and attached great importance to the difficulties I encountered: "Lord Death, I will definitely be, I will listen to you for everything." ”
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
At the same time, Leonard, who had just left the inn, suddenly stopped and turned to stare at the inn.
The warm and gentle smile on his face disappeared, and a pair of long, narrow and cloudy old eyes narrowed slightly, and his momentum became a little compelling.
This is the temperament of a duke and aristocrat, and being a merchant is just a hobby.
The middle-aged knight waved his hand and ordered the knights around him to disperse the surrounding pedestrians, and then he leaned over to Leonard and whispered, "Lord Duke, do you want to do it?"
In the Sand City, the Awakened Chamber of Commerce is the resident Chamber of Commerce, which is deeply entrenched in the Sand City and is one of the top forces in the city.
Assassinations, espionage, rebellion, and the like are not uncommon in a chaotic commercial capital.
Although there are many rules on the surface, these rules do not affect the Chamber of Commerce of the Awakened, and the middle-aged knight has done some shady things for Leonard.
The middle-aged knight looked at the old face of the Duke, in his opinion, this so-called Mr. Edra offended the Duke today, and with a large number of secret stones, this scarce wealth is destined to become a dead man.
Leonard was silent for a moment, then finally withdrew his gaze from the hotel, turned and walked back.
"What do you think, what is the strength of the black-robed man next to him?" Leonard didn't look back, his voice was calm.
The middle-aged knight was stunned for a moment, and said respectfully: "I don't think their strength should be strong, at most they are some low-level knights, and their strength is not as good as mine." ”
The middle-aged knight paused, and then added his opinion: "Lord Duke, I think that if Mr. Edra really has a very strong background, there should not only be a group of low-level knights around him to protect him, after all, the goods he brought this time are of great value. ”
He was just a small knight under the duke, not strong, and he couldn't even put it on the table. The reason why he was able to follow the Duke in and out of the Sand City all the year round was nothing more than that he was more secure and more observant than other high-ranking knights.
As long as the opportunity is right, he does not recommend actively expressing his opinion in front of the Duke, so as to win further appreciation from the Duke.
"You have a point. ”
Leonard nodded in agreement, and the middle-aged knight couldn't help but smile, but soon Leonard spoke again: "I also think that the strength of the guards around him is not as good as yours, but there are still oddities in this." ”
"Please teach me, Lord Duke. ”
"Didn't you notice that the black-robed servant, though not strong, was able to repel my personal knight with a single blow. Leonard shook his head, he saw the battle in the hotel just now, and the low-level knights around him were not as good as other people's servants.
Although he is only a low-level knight, he has been cultivated and trained in the family since he was a child, and his strength is far better than that of ordinary low-level knights, so he can't beat others? That can only show that the opponent has been trained and cultivated more professionally, and the forces behind him are stronger.
"Also, his weapon is strange, it looks like some kind of bone, and there is energy on it that doesn't look like vindictiveness. ”
Although Leonard is not a knight, he is well-informed and has seen all kinds of vindictiveness.
He could swear that the energy on the bone knife he had seen in the hotel was definitely not vindictive!
The middle-aged knight was stunned for a moment, did not speak, bowed his head and was silent, and began to carefully recall the scenes that happened in the hotel.
"The servants beside him are not simple, they obviously have no fighting spirit fluctuations when they move, but their strength is stronger than that of a formal knight, and they have another special attack method. ”
Leonard shook his head and said calmly: "I estimate that the servants around him may not be knights, but guards of another existence, and it is precisely because they are not knights, so I don't know if there are any masters who can defeat you among these twenty people." ”
"I've been sure that there is someone behind Edra or a more mysterious force, or maybe that mysterious existence. ”
Leonard spoke, "I don't want to risk it until the mysterious existence behind him is thoroughly unearthed. ”
The middle-aged knight asked curiously, "Lord Duke, what kind of existence is it?"
If there was someone behind Edra or a big force behind him, he could understand it, but he couldn't guess what kind of existence the mysterious existence that the Duke was talking about.
"Wizard. ”
Leonard glanced at the middle-aged knight and said lightly, "I suspect that Edra has the support of a wizard behind him. ”
