Hearing Wren's words, the faces of several nobles at the table changed slightly, and they were angry.

Such an arrogant posture simply doesn't take them seriously.

The Marquis of Giliu raised his hand, stopped the reprimand that Pirino Aiden almost came out of his hand, and said indifferently: "Count Glamorgan, we are negotiating with sincerity, and Your Excellency is not the kind of person who is vexatious, please dismount and speak." ”

Wren looked at the legendary berserker.

Yesterday he was hammered by himself, he was seriously injured, and his back spine was almost broken, and today he was alive again, his face was ruddy, and he could hardly see that he had just been injured.

However, in the eyes of the soul, his soul was in a weakened state, and his strength was less than half of what it used to be.

Hey, silver-like wax tips, not useful.

Wren remained silent, the atmosphere was stalemate for more than ten seconds, and he examined the Marquis of Jiliu for a long time before jumping off the dragon horn warhorse.

He sat down at the table and formed a confrontation with the seven people opposite.

"I'm really not a vexatious person. Wren said in a very calm tone: "I just want to get back what belongs to me." ”

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the seven lords and representatives, and in the face of the rulers of Modu, he did not have the slightest timidity, but suppressed the other party in momentum, "It is you who want to negotiate, not me." ”

Wren knocked on the table, "Where is your sincerity?"

"Your Excellency, please see. Sonnas pushed a page of parchment on the table in front of him over, "This is the terms we have prepared, if you are not satisfied, ...... you"

Crackling.

A bolt of lightning burst out of Wren's hand, burning the parchment to ashes without even looking at it.

Sonnaston was stunned.

Wren sneered, "What bullshit terms, this is what you call sincerity?"

Pirino, Count of Atrank, stood up suddenly, could no longer suppress his anger, and pointed at Wren and was about to scold, but found Wren sitting there, looking at himself obliquely, as if he could see through his heart.

"If you dare to spit out a dirty word, today is your death. ”

Wren's tone did not fluctuate in a single bit, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, rather than threatening the life of a real count.

But Pirino felt a lot of pressure.

He seemed to have been lifted from his skull, poured a basin of snow water, his lips trembled a few times, and finally he didn't dare to make a sound, and sat down a little cowardly.

Sonas's face was also ugly.

He had never been in such a difficult situation in his life.

There were two Holy Soul Wizards standing behind Wren, and they really couldn't afford to provoke them.

What's more, Wren's own strength is also ridiculously strong, yesterday's hammer, even if he spent a lot of money to ask the legendary priest of the Earth Church for treatment, now his back is still in unbearable pain.

As soon as he saw Wren's youthful and excessive face, Sonnas was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

He lived for more than a hundred years and was a marquisal lord, but now he was slapped by a hairy boy who was just twenty years old.

The silence was broken by Kaylin Pommour, her voice with a hint of hoarseness, but with a special charm, as if it had experienced numerous winds and waves, reminiscent of the smell of the sea: "Young man, tell me about your conditions. ”

Wren glanced at the countess, who was said to be rich and rivally rich, second only to Pirino in the emotional hostility of her soul, but her face was completely indistinguishable.

He was secretly vigilant and held up two fingers.

"I only have two demands: first, get out, and second, lose money!"

Kailin looked a little interested, leaning forward slightly, "Your requirements are too general, can you be more specific?"

She unwittingly became the protagonist of the negotiation, but Sonnas didn't care at all, but was happy to see it, just watching from the sidelines.

Wren snapped his first finger: "First, I will give you three days for all the supernatural powers to withdraw from my territory. Not only must all the land assets that originally belonged to me, such as this water port, and the estates, farms, and plantations, be returned, but the employees who run these assets, you must leave them to me. ”

This request is not excessive, because this is the land that belongs to the lord in the first place.

Sonnas and others found it acceptable, and they were ready to give up these land assets when they were ready to negotiate.

This is no longer the agricultural era of hundreds of years ago.

Although the foundation of the aristocracy was still land, the importance of land had declined slightly, and the greatest wealth came not from the output of land, but from the industrial and commercial properties under the control of capital.

Seeing that they had no objections, Wren stretched out his second finger and continued: "Article 2, the twenty-four factories you have built in the territory, as well as the thirty-three buildings and one hundred and sixty storefronts in the 'Six Deep Corners' business district, can ......be kept for the time being."

Before he finished his words, the Modu nobles couldn't help but be overjoyed, they didn't expect Wren to be so generous.

These factories, storefronts, and commercial properties were the most valuable things they had in the territory of Glamorgan, second only to the two ports.

They are worth much more than those farmland estates, at least ten times more!

That's the main thing.

However, when they heard Wren's words, they were all furious.

"For the time being, I can keep it, but I want to own half of the equity. Wren ignored the anger on the faces of the nobles opposite, and said lightly: "I checked the account books of previous years, and your factories and stores have never paid taxes, and they must be made up for me, and not a single gold shield is missing." ”

"It can't be!" Pirino Aiden finally couldn't help himself.

Wren's eyebrows furrowed.

Pirino is a ninth-level wizard, and his strength is not weak, but I don't know why, he is always inexplicably weak when facing Wren, and he is glanced at by Wren, as if he has been stripped naked and standing under the sun, and there is no secret to keep.

He stiffened his head and said: "Whether it's half of the equity or paying back taxes, it's impossible!"

Wren snorted.

If it weren't for these factories and stores, they all needed a large number of professional talents to operate, and they had no manpower, and there was no place to recruit in a short time, so they couldn't eat it in one bite, and they didn't even give half of it, and they all of them were directly occupied.

"If you don't give me half of the equity, then you don't want it. ”

Wren put on an indifferent attitude and said very toughly: "I'll send someone to smash these factories and storefronts now." ”

He wasn't kidding, there were other factories and stores in the territory, which did not belong to the Modu nobility, and occupied more than two-thirds of the entire industry, which could be taxed normally.

"Wait. Sonnas hurriedly spoke to stop him.

Wren looked at him.

"Half equity is too much. Sonnas said with a sincere face: "Many of these properties are not exclusive to us, and there are other partners, none of them are civilians, if you want to go halfway, we can't explain it to them." ”

When he spoke of his partner, he looked up at the floating city in the sky, and vaguely pointed out that among the partners was a wizard from Wezeland.

Then he pondered and said, "Why don't we hand over 30% of the equity, what do you think?"

"I want half of it, I don't have to discuss, how to explain it to others, it's your business. Wren flatly refused.

The property in one's own territory must own half of the equity to gain absolute control.

Otherwise, it is indispensable to pass the buck in the future.

"You ......"

Sonnas was extremely annoyed, when he encountered such a strong negotiator, none of the previous methods of coercion and inducement against other people could be used.

Half of the equity is really too much, it's even more distressing than cutting meat, and I can't decide for a while.

The two sides reached a stalemate.

Wren didn't want to give the other party time to buffer, and said lightly: "My patience is limited, and what you can't get on the battlefield, you can't think of it at the negotiation table." ”

The Modu nobles were all shocked.

Kaylin Pommour's eyes lit up, as if he wanted to get to know Wren again, and kept looking at him. Rosa Glos, who had been silent all along, like an outsider, also cast a surprised look.

Pirino's face was cloudy, and he couldn't say a word.

Sonnas shook his head and sighed softly.

Since he failed to kill Wren, and he was afraid that the two Holy Soul Wizards behind Wren would be forced to the negotiating table, then don't think about getting too good conditions, it's just a matter of reducing losses.

He made eye contact with several lords and representatives, and then turned around and said, "Half of the equity can be given to you." ”

Wren smiled calmly.

In fact, his heart was already happy, and he secretly shouted: ", I'm getting rich now!"

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that I would achieve many small goals in the other world!"

"With so many small goals, it should be considered 'medium'. ”

Wren has estimated that half of the equity of these factories, storefronts and commercial real estate combined is worth about 8 million to 10 million gold!

One gold dong in the empire is exchanged for one thousand copper dollars, and the monthly salary of a worker is about eight hundred copper yuan, and ten million gold are equivalent to ten billion copper liso, which is a huge wealth that is difficult to refuse for anyone in this world, even a giant dragon with a huge treasure.

Of course, it's just a valuation, and if you sell it, the amount will definitely shrink significantly, and you may only get one or two million gold.

This kind of thing of killing chickens and taking eggs is something that only a fool would do.

The more you earn in the future, the more taxes you will pay to the empire and the Duke of Silver Star, and Master Anxi's side will definitely have to say that it is not all his own.

There are many places to spend money, and there is never too much money.

Wren calmed down, and suddenly heard Emilys's breathing beside him become a little heavier.

He turned his head, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the soul emotions of this dragonborn apostle were in a violent shock, and his expression was a little unnatural, obviously, she knew the value of these inheritances.

"She is worthy of being a dragonborn with dragon blood, and she is a woman, and wealth is too attractive to her. ”

The corners of Wren's mouth moved.

He knocked on the table, looked at the other side of the party, and said, "It's time to talk about the back taxes." ”

The Modu nobles couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

They have all handed over half of their equity, why do they have to pay back taxes?

The Marquis of Giliu, Sonas, was extremely dissatisfied, "Half of these properties now belong to Your Excellency, and you have to pay back taxes, isn't it too much?"

"Now is the present, the former is the past. ”

Wren glared at him, and said as a matter of course: "You evaded taxes in the past, causing losses to the Glamorgan Lord, and I, as a lord, will definitely recover it." You are all lords, do you find that there are people in the territory who are evading taxes, and you will treat them as if you don't see them?"

Sonas's hands trembled with anger, but he couldn't refute it.

They have used all kinds of means to occupy the Glamorgan territory, and they have worked hard to manage it, but of course it is impossible to pay taxes, so how can there be any reason to pay taxes for themselves? Moreover, after paying taxes, the accounts will not be easy to do, and they will inevitably be taken away by the empire.

Over the years, the amount of tax evasion must have added up to an astronomical amount.

If all of them are made up, it is better to give up these factories and stores and close them directly.

Sonnas took a deep breath and asked, "How much do you want?"

Wren knew that it was impossible to recover all the taxes, and he could not exceed the value of half of the shares, not even close, otherwise he would be too much and scare these nobles away.

He stretched out a finger: "One million gold guilders, the previous taxes are written off." ”

There was silence on the docks.

The lords on the other side of the negotiation table all had different expressions.

Wren had already opened the eyes of the soul before he spoke, carefully observing their emotional changes, and testing their bottom line with a large amount.

One million gold may not be available to a single nobleman.

But the seven nobles were proportionately apportioned, and that would not be much.

As a world-famous trading capital, these seven nobles can be said to be rich, richer than the kings of some smaller countries, and it should not be a problem for each family to come up with hundreds of thousands of gold in cash.

Don't forget, the property of the Glamorgan Territory is only a small part of the assets they own, and the real assets are still in their respective territories.

In particular, the Pumore family, as the overlords of the empire's maritime trade, possessed immeasurable wealth.

Viscount Stottend's Gross family sits in the central city of Mordu, and is certainly not short of money, and their wealth may be second only to the Pumour family, but they don't have much interest in the Glamorgan territory, so they didn't come forward, so they let Rosa Gross be present to witness, but they didn't speak, and let Sonnas call the shots.

However, to Wren's surprise, the emotional reaction of Sonnas and the others was extremely intense.

It was as if the million gold shields could kill them.

"Impossible!" replied Pirino.

Kaylin Pummor shook her head repeatedly, "You're even greedier than a dragon......"

"If you open your mouth and ask for a million gold, why don't you rob it?" Sonnas also disregarded his demeanor and angrily accused Wren of being too greedy.

Rosa Glos and representatives of the other three nobles could not help but stand up and denounce.

Wren couldn't help but be a little surprised, these people's reactions were real, it seemed that they really couldn't get a million gold shields, shouldn't this be?

The seven nobles who ruled Modu didn't even have a million gold, and no one believed them.

Where does all their money go?

Wren thought in his heart, but there was a strange smile on his face, and he looked at Sonnas and replied: "Where is the robbery to collect debts from you to make a lot of money? You can't grab a million gold when you go to the bank." ”

The Modu nobles were speechless for a while.

After a long time, Sonnas said in a deep voice: "One million gold shields is too much, and you can't force us anymore." ”

Wren saw that he was not lying, and there were faint signs that he wanted to flip the table and not talk about it, so he softened his tone: "One million gold is not negotiable, but I allow you to pay in installments." ”

Sonath hesitated, and the other lords were also a little moved.

Wren can now confirm that they really have no money and can't come up with a million gold.

Several nobles got up and left the negotiation table, walked away to set up a soundproof force field, and talked with their backs to Wren for a while, before coming back, Sonnas said with a cold face: "If you pay in five years, and deduct 200,000 gold from the income of our factories and stores to you every year, this amount is acceptable." ”

"Now you have to give me the first money, two hundred thousand gold guilders. Wren knew that was pretty much their bottom line.

"Deal. "Sonnas didn't bargain anymore.

They didn't have 200,000 gold guilders in cash on them, so they immediately sent people back to get the money.

While waiting for the money to be delivered, Sonnas rewrote an agreement on the outcome of the negotiations, and after confirming that there was no problem, the two parties swore an oath in the name of the three gods of the empire and the god of wealth and trade, "Waukin", signed their respective names, and stamped their family seals.

In less than half an hour, 200,000 gold guilders were delivered to Wren.

Half of them were golden tickets with a face value of 100,000 yuan, and the remaining half were imperial gold shields, weighing more than a thousand pounds in total, filling four large boxes, and the yellow and clear light made everyone present unable to take their eyes off it.

Wren put away the golden ticket, but found that there were too many golden shields, and the space of the dimensional ring could not be filled.

He had to take out Rambo's gun and clear the space before he packed all four chests into the ring.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Rambo's spear.

"This is the legendary soul gun!"

People's eyes were full of curiosity, the value of a legendary-level weapon was not known how many times higher than 200,000 gold shields, even two million gold could not be bought.

But Wren didn't care and threw it to Sicarius.

"Sicarius, help me hold it. ”

"Ah...... Okay, boss. Sicarius quickly caught it, a look of panic.

Rambo's spear was only more than two hundred pounds, which was not as good as his giant sword, but it seemed to weigh ten thousand pounds in his hand, and he held it carefully, for fear of breaking it.

Wren collected the money and sent it off unceremoniously.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my port, and it is time for you to leave. "According to the agreement, in the future, if the armed forces of other nobles in Mordu want to enter the Glamorgan Territory and go to sea by boat, they must report to the Blue Water High Fort in advance, and they can only be released after permission, otherwise it will be an invasion.

Sonnas and the others were holding their breath and didn't want to stay for a second.

Especially Pirino Aiden, who has controlled this Yangshui port for many years, has worked hard to manage and build, but now he has to give it away, and his heart is dripping blood.

Rosa Glos immediately mounted the griffin and flew away with ten griffon knights.

A group of nobles boarded a steamer parked at the pier and prepared to leave.

"Earl Glamorgan," said Karin Pumor, who suddenly turned his head and asked, "Is Priscilla's Poseidon Orb in your possession?" ”

"It's okay to redeem, you have to add money. ”

Wren took the orb out of the ring and showed it to the other party.

Kailin Pumor could see at a glance that there were no more demon souls in the orb, but for the storm priests, the real value of the orb was the tears of the sea god, which was extremely difficult to find, and the demon soul was secondary, and it would be good to buy a suitable elemental creature.

She thought about it for a few breaths and made a bid: "Twenty thousand gold guilders." ”

Wren was unmoved, Osiria said that the value of a Poseidon Orb is more than the best equipment, and it may even be close to epic equipment, and he wants to buy it back for 20,000 gold shields, which is bullying himself for not knowing how to do it.

Countess Kailin gritted her teeth, threw out a stack of 30,000 gold shields of golden tickets, and said with a wry smile: "I don't have any more." ”

"Well, it's yours. Wren took the golden ticket and threw the Neptune's Tears back.

The countess has been drained of herself today.

Kaylin Palmer boarded the ship and left without looking back, for fear of staying here, and even the last golden shield was snatched by Wren, as if he had fled.

Standing on the dock and watching the Modu nobleman's ship sail away, Wren let out a sigh of relief and a smile on his face.

As soon as he turned around, he met a pair of purple eyes.
