"Wizard?"

The middle-aged knight's expression was stunned and silent.

There are many stories and legends about wizards circulating on the continent of Esker, which is a very mysterious and special existence.

They roam every corner of the continent of Esker, wielding esoteric magic, mastering sorcery, summoning golems and crafting magical potions...... There are so many legends and tricks about wizards.

For the ordinary people of the Iske continent, few of them have been able to see the existence of wizards with their own eyes, and even some have always wondered if wizards are real, or at least some fantasy profession recorded in books?

But Leonard knew full well that wizards were real, and he had seen a powerful wizard with his own eyes.

Wizards may not be as exaggerated and powerful as the legends say, but they are indeed mysterious, complex and strange, and they use all the methods that can amplify their power to make themselves powerful and mystical beings.

Every wizard is a maverick and never easily exposes himself to the public eye.

Leonard felt that there was a wizard behind Edla, otherwise he would not be able to explain the special and powerful nature of these black-robed servants, nor would he be able to explain why he could possess so many secret stones.

After a moment of silence, the middle-aged knight asked, "Lord Duke, what should we do now?"

And so on. ”

Leonard said lightly: "We are just moving relatively fast, this news will soon spread throughout Sand City, and someone else will test this guy for us." ”

"If he is mysterious and powerful in disguise, then naturally he will not last many days. If he does have a wizard behind him, then the Awoken Chamber of Commerce is still his top priority. ”

Leonard's voice was confident: "Because, in this city, no one can give a higher price." ”

Leonard knew something about wizards, and although he didn't know much, he knew that wizards' cultivation was different from that of knights, and that many witchcraft experiments required a lot of resources and wealth.

As long as the price offered was high enough, he didn't believe that he couldn't afford Edla's order.

Moreover, Leonard has always suspected that Edra is in possession of an entire vein of Secret Stones, and the reason why he is so cautious and forbearant is to plot more Secret Stones.

He wants to buy a whole vein for His Majesty!

"We just have to be patient now and I'm sure he won't be so deep forever. You go to inform the Chamber of Commerce headquarters this afternoon and mobilize a team of knights to come to Sand City. ”

Leonard's voice was indifferent: "I have to prepare both hands." ”

"Yes. ”

The middle-aged knight was stunned, bowed his head and respectfully agreed.

The Awakened Chamber of Commerce is strong, financially strong and well-connected, but more importantly, it is because it has the support of the official army of the Rusen Kingdom.

In a knight brigade, there must be a high-ranking knight!

There are very few high-ranking knights in the Sand City, and it seems that the Duke is determined to eat this order.

Whether it is through high-priced purchases or by means of force and coercion.

......

After cutting off contact, Baron Edra sent half of the farmers out of the city to inquire about the news, and although he was a little anxious and apprehensive, he still obeyed the orders of Lord Death and stayed in the hotel to wait for news.

"Lord Death said that since the Awoken Chamber of Commerce has received the news, most of the other chambers of commerce and powerful people in Sand City will also receive the news. ”

Baron Edra muttered to himself, repeating what Amberchen had told him: "Then I can wait quietly now, if I go out again to find out the news, it will make people think that I am in a hurry to sell these secret stones, and I will fall into the negotiations." ”

Baron Edra wanted to see the difference between the Sand City and the culture of a different place like a normal traveler, but in order to maintain his mystery, he had to stay in the hotel.

The boredom didn't last long, though, and after lunch, the innkeeper came to visit again.

"Mr. Edla, members of the [Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce] are coming to visit you. ”

"Bring him in!"

Edra was shaken and told the farmer to bring someone in.

In Sand City, the [Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce] and the [Awakened Chamber of Commerce] are also in the category of top forces, but the [Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce] does not belong to the local Chamber of Commerce of the Russen Kingdom, so its influence in the Sand City is slightly weaker than that of the [Awakened Chamber of Commerce].

The Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce sent a capable middle-aged businessman who seems to be loyal and honest and has a strong affinity.

"Hello, Mr. Edla, please allow me to introduce myself, I am Nigel, the vice president of the [Kenta Union Chamber of Commerce], and I am very happy to visit you. ”

Nigel put his hands on his chest and looked at Edra with a smile.

He came alone, without any guards, just carrying a small box.

"There's a president, and now there's a vice president, all of them big shots. Baron Edra sighed inwardly.

Although this Nigel did not say his identity outside of the vice president, Baron Edra could still guess that even if Nigel was not as duke as Leonard, it would definitely be enough to crush himself as a country lord.

"I know what you're here for. ”

Baron Edra had experience this time, and after receiving the innkeeper's notice, he hastened to contact Amberson.

Baron Edra lay on his side in his chair, his eyes staring straight ahead, not looking at Nigel, and his attitude was very arrogant.

"It's for the Secret Stone, right?" Every word he said now was a repetition of what Lord Death had said in his head, "You know what? The Awakened Chamber of Commerce moves faster than you, and they've sent a guild leader. ”

Nigel was still smiling in the face of Edla's difficulties and arrogance, and he had thought of dealing with them long before he came.

I heard that this was a mysterious traveler who made Leonard return in vain, so he naturally didn't make a big deal about it.

When Nigel heard Edla's words, he hurriedly explained: "Mr. Edra doesn't know, the president of our Chamber of Commerce is not in Sand City now, he is purchasing new goods in the distant Snow Territory. ”

"Is this an excuse?" Baron Edla's voice was calm, he obeyed Lord Death's orders, and sneered a few times: "You go back, I don't have any secret stones to sell you." ”

Are you going to drive people away so quickly? Don't you listen to what people have to offer?

Baron Edra felt a little tired, and he felt that he was a little unable to keep up with the rhythm of Lord Death.

"Mr. Edla, I have informed my President, and I am sure he must be on his way back to the City of Sands. ”

"If you don't dislike it, you must be the most honored guest of the [Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce], I am here only to form a sincere friendship with you on behalf of the [Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce], not for business. ”

Nigel was very good at talking, and he took out his little box and placed it on the table: "This is a little gift I have brought, I hope you will definitely accept it." ”

"I won't bother Mr. Edla, if you need any help, you can send someone to inform the [Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce], and we will definitely do our best to help you." ”

Nigel put the box down, saluted respectfully, and then turned away.

"Hey, he's leaving?"

Baron Edra was a little stunned, this was different from what he imagined: "Lord Death, does he really think that I don't have a secret stone?"

Such a large potential customer ran away, which made Baron Edra very uncomfortable.

"No, this guy is smart. ”

An Baichen's voice sounded in Baron Edla's head: "He knows that Leonard has already suffered a loss with you, so he has taken a different approach to Leonard. ”

"The vice president of a large chamber of commerce who has been a competitor to the [Awakened Chamber of Commerce] for many years, dared to come alone without a guard to contact a mysterious traveler, and at the same time brought a gift, which is enough to show his sincerity. ”

And he did not offer any intention of trading and negotiating, but lowered his posture to befriend you, which is a means of trying to get away with you. Under normal circumstances, no one can refuse the request for friendship made by such a smart person, because he is the first to let down all his guard and vigilance, which is enough to make the other person slack. ”

An Baichen asked, "What do you think of this guy?"

Edra said without hesitation: "I think he's great, a guy worth making friends with." ”

An Baichen laughed: "This is the shrewdness of businessmen, learn to be a person first in business, and it is always more difficult to sell yourself than to sell goods." ”

"What are we going to do now, Lord Death?"

"Keep waiting. ”

An Baichen instructed: "According to the intelligence information you have gathered, we have already contacted the two most potential chambers of commerce in Sand City, and if the other chambers of commerce send people again, you can directly refuse and do not see them." ”

Even the heads of the two largest chambers of commerce have not negotiated this list, so why give other chambers of commerce the opportunity to contact?

Now is the stage of controlling the identity and waiting for the price to sell.

"And this gift......" Baron Edra looked at the small box on the table, he wondered what it was.

"It should be some treasures or gold coins or something, you can take it, so that the [Awoken Chamber of Commerce] should feel the pressure. An Baichen said casually.

Accepting gifts from competitors but ignoring their own chambers of commerce, as long as Leonard still wants to do this business, there will definitely be a next move.

"Lord Death, when are we going to be able to actually sell the Secret Stone?"

"Wait until the second active contact of the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce or the Awakened Chamber of Commerce, before that, you don't want to sword others, but you can contact more adventurers who have no power background. ”

An Baichen said: "Please contact me again if you have something, I have other things to deal with." ”

"Okay, Lord Death, go slowly. ”

Baron Edra hurriedly spoke respectfully, and before his words fell, Lord Death cut off contact.

Baron Edra didn't know that if he only sold the secret stone at a high price, he didn't need such a complicated process, he could have chosen one of the two chambers of commerce at the first contact, or he could choose to cooperate with the two and use their rivalry to balance each other.

In this way, you can achieve the goal of selling secret stones for a long time.

But what An Baichen wants is not to help Baron Edra sell the secret stone, he needs to be strong and mysterious about the mysterious background forces behind Camp**dra, so that he can make better use of the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce and the Awakened Chamber of Commerce.

After all, the person behind Baron Edra is himself, the world of the dead.

He helped Baron Edra shape his mystical imagination and at the same time increase his own worth.

For Amberson, the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce and the Awoken Chamber of Commerce have more value for in-depth contact and understanding than other individual adventurers and minor lords.

If the terms of the summoning agreement can be reached with either of the two chambers of commerce, then Amberson will be able to gain a foothold in the Isk continent and carry out the summoning business in a big way.

Baron Edra coughed, and he walked over to the small box, carefully opened it, and looked inside.

A flash of golden light nearly blinded Edla's eyes.

Gold!

It's all gold!

And this small box is a very small fantasy item, seemingly small area, but can hold more items.

This kind of fantasy item can only be refined by legendary wizards.

Baron Edra poured out the gold coins from the small box, and the sound of "jingle bells" kept ringing, and soon a hill of gold coins was piled up on the ground.

A cursory look at the past shows that there are at least tens of thousands of gold coins!

"It's ......"

Baron Edra felt his hands tremble a little, and he held back for a long time before muttering, "What a lot of money." ”

The Great Chamber of Commerce is the Great Chamber of Commerce, make a friend and give a gift, and the shot is 10,000 gold coins, and it also comes with a fantasy item of great practical value.

The potential value of this gift alone is almost equivalent to a thousand secret stones.

"Come, put all these coins away. ”

After a moment of hesitation, Baron Edra decided to hide the small box and offer it as a gift to the Grim Reaper the next time he contacted him.

As for the gold coins......

Lord Death has already said that he doesn't like the gold coins on the Eske continent, so I'll reluctantly accept it.

Over the next three days, Baron Edra was visited by a steady stream of people, mostly small chambers of commerce that were weaker than the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Commerce of the Awakened, as well as some nobles and other caravans in the city.

They didn't know where they heard the news, they knew that Baron Edra had a large number of secret stones in his hands, and they all wanted to come over and get a piece of the pie.

Rumors spread throughout Sand City about the mysterious Mr. Edra and the wealth of the Secret Stones, and the rumors became more and more fierce, and more and more people visited Edla.

But everyone who had some power in the Sand City had their eyes on Edla.

In just a few days, the undercurrent of Sand City has surged, and Edra has become the most arrogant and hottest existence in the entire Sand City.

Baron Edra obeyed the orders of Lord Death, disappeared from all the visitors, locked himself in the hotel, and concentrated on playing the role of his mysterious traveler.

It is worth mentioning that Knox from the Dutch Chamber of Commerce also visited Baron Edra the next day, and this time Knox brought enough gold coins, and he wanted to continue the deal negotiated with Baron Edra last time and buy the hundred secret stones.

According to Lord Death's instructions, Baron Edra refused to continue the deal with Knox in the name of leaking his news at will, and kicked him out of the hotel.

I don't know if it's because of Knox's resentment, on the night of the fourth day, the small courtyard of Edla's hotel was attacked by a group of ranger assassins.

An Baichen had already greeted Edla, and there were undead warriors guarding the door of the Mystic Stone Transporter and Baron Edla's room day and night.

These Ranger Assassins have a strong breath of life in them, and no matter how well they are hidden, they will not be able to attack under the noses of undead warriors.

Most of the Ranger Assassins were killed by the Undead Warriors, and some lucky Assassins were captured alive.

Baron Edra did not receive valuable information from the survivors, and the Ranger Assassins had no idea who their employer was, and they only took on the mission through intermediaries.

"What is your mission?"

"Stealing...... Steal the Secret Stone, please my lord, spare us, we will never dare to offend you again. ”

"A bunch of bastards who dare to steal my stuff!"

Enraged, Baron Edra ordered the undead warriors to kill all the living ones, and then threw the body out of the hotel.
