Chapter 15: The Floating Island Whale (Part I)

"Leader, speaking of which, what's the name of that guild?" In the communication crystal, there was a deep voice of Kita, mixed with the whirring wind.

Today, the wind in Orenze was a little strong, and all the navigation flags hanging from the canopy of the giant trees in the distance flew up, like blue and white streamers.

Blue and white is the emblem of the city.

"It's called the art of the war, as if their first president was a musician." Fang Yu looked at the leaves flying in the distance, which were flying across the clear blue sky.

There was a low roar in the sky, and a shadow crossed over and slowly obscured the top of the bell tower.

He looked up at the behemoth that was approaching the harbor, and the boat-style sailboats were so spectacular.

This is a mail ship from the north, the Floating Island Whale, which sails regularly on the shipping route between Isis and this place. The Artisans' Association informed the arrival of the ship yesterday.

The floating compartment with balloons hanging from the boat, which follows the boat, is a floating cargo compartment, which is somewhat similar to the function of a train. However, it can only be seen on fixed-route mail ships, because most of these floats will be lost in the event of abnormal weather.

The humming murmur overshadowed the bells of the city.

"Commander, their people seem to have arrived." Luo Yu's voice also sounded.

Hearing this voice, Tang Xin turned her head and her eyes wandered around the other end of the square.

This is the place where the two parties agreed to meet, not far from the Adventurer's Guild.

This place was chosen mainly because the square here is the most open, which makes it easy to observe the situation in the vicinity.

Fang Ou and Sylvid were both wearing makeup, and Miss Ship Officer was still silver-haired and veiledβ€”this time with two more pointed ears.

Seeing Fang Yu's embarrassment, he was about to commit it.

He wanted to tell Sylvede not to do that next time.

But the ship's master lady looked at him with talking eyes, as if asking: Isn't it pretty?

If you say something against your will, Fang Yu can't say it.

Tang Xin soon saw several people with a seven-stringed harp and a thin sword interlaced emblem on their chests appear.

"Here they are." She whispered.

Fang Yu nodded, but since he said that he would let Tang Xin and Sylvide negotiate with each other, he didn't say anything.

Tang Xin walked out at this time and beckoned in that direction, and the other party immediately looked over.

It's just that at this time, Fang Yu saw that among those people, a middle-aged man with a sharp beak and a gloomy face was looking at them from a distance, took a step back, and then grabbed a person and whispered a few words to the person. The latter nodded, and immediately ran away.

"Mr. Tuss, what are you doing?" Sirian had apparently noticed what was happening behind him, and looked back at the other with a serious face.

"It has nothing to do with you," Tus replied with a grim look on his face, "your president has promised me full authority over this transaction. ”

"I think you're going to inform the Flor Descendants, right?" Several young people in the art battle immediately scoffed.

The man snorted softly.

Sirian glanced at him, but didn't speak again. If the people of the Flor Descendants were willing to pay a higher price, he could have accepted it.

The dispute of the few people over there fell in the eyes of Fang Yu and the three of them.

"That man's name is Tus, and he's an asset auditor from your world. Now that you know about the Oak Knights and the Southern Alliance, the Alliance has new rules," Sylvid said in his ear, looking at the man, "This gentleman is the most problematic, and I guess the Flor Descendants have already bought him." ”

Fang Yu had probably heard that the origin of this asset review system was to protect the investors on the planet, and if the Free Guild wanted to seek investors, the investors would send a supervisory auditor.

In the process of completing the transaction between the two parties, any change in the guild's assets needs to be approved by the auditor, so as to avoid the fact that the free guild will secretly transfer personnel and assets, so that investors can only buy a shell in the end.

These things are ready-made institutions on Earth, and they are only being used for the first time in the non-commercial free guilds of Aitalia.

Of course, this is only useful for free guilds that are interested in incorporating into the business rules of the Super Athletic League.

For those who would rather be broken than whole, it doesn't mean much.

No matter how the Super Athletic Alliance is, it can't care if others want to dissolve the guild.

Fang Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Sylvide's words, "Then he is derelict in his duties, and the investors over there won't trouble him afterwards?" ”

Being a spy in a free guild, betraying a guild or something, speaking out is only morally condemned at best.

But if you play like this in a business, it's an economic crime, and you will go to jail.

Tang Xin shook his head, "He's just helping the people of the Fleur Descendants, and the Flor Descendants are offering a higher price, and it is only natural for him to choose the Flor Descendants as an auditor." And afterwards, the people of the Flor descendants repented, but that was just an intention, just like we did yesterday, the business contract negotiations have failed a lot, as long as he can't grasp his handle, what responsibility can he bear. ”

"So, why do you think there's something wrong with this person?" Fang Yu was surprised.

"Quite simply, he's not stupid, he's an auditor, and it's his job to measure risk. The Fleur Descendants offered such a high price, do you guess he didn't investigate the conflict between the Fleur Descendants and us yesterday? ”

Fang Yuan's mind turned around at this time, "So in this case, he actually realized that the people of the Flor Descendants had a problem, but still chose them, so you think this person has a ghost?" ”

Sylvide nodded.

Fang Yu rubbed his forehead, and suddenly felt that he would still be less involved in such a thing in the future. Trade negotiations or something, sure enough, are much more troublesome than studying alchemy.

But he still had a doubt: "But what if this person is the kind of straw bag that floats around people?" Maybe he just didn't understand the matter at all, and chose the higher bidder. ”

Tang Xin looked at her cousin with a little pity, "Let's not talk about what the investor sent a straw bale, not to mention that even if he is, we are not." ”

She paused, "What do you think Miss Alyssa was doing yesterday?" ”

Fang Yu was immediately speechless by his sharp-toothed cousin.

Sylvede smiled slightly when she saw this, "I'm 100% sure about this matter, and the captain just needs to wait to see the show." ”

Fang Yu nodded at this time, thinking that it was really his own ship officer who was gentle.

"But they may have gone to inform the people of the Flor Descendants." Tang Xin said at this time.

Sylvid nodded, "So we'll have to do it quickly." ”

Sirian couldn't help but be stunned when he saw two little girls walking towards him. One of them was a little older, but he was in his early twenties.

Fortunately, he had seen a lot of younger Recruiters, and he quickly calmed down, bowed and asked, "Is it Miss Tang Xin from the Seven Seas Brigade?" ”

Tang Xin took a step forward and nodded, "Your Excellency?" ”

"I'm Cyrion, the logistics officer of the Art Battles Guild, and I'm solely responsible for the guild's transactions," inheriting the style of acting left over from the battlefield, Cillian likes to be concise and to the point, "Now that you know the cause and effect of the matter, I won't go around the bush too much, I heard that you are willing to pay a higher price than the people of the descendants of Flor to buy those Earth Source Crystals?" ”

Tang Xin and Sylvide exchanged glances.

She didn't answer directly, but asked, "Your guild has already negotiated the price with us yesterday, won't you feel that there is anything wrong with sitting on the ground and starting the price at this time?" ”

Sirian shook his head and replied without humility or arrogance, "If you have signed a contract with us, in black and white, under the witness of Lady Roman, the Art Dispute Guild will fulfill the contract no matter what, this is the foundation of integrity, and we also know it." But if it's just a verbal promise, even if we are a witness to the scales, the goddess of business will not protect us, we are just pursuing our own interests, which is understandable, right? ”

"That's a good point." The middle-aged man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks also spoke at this moment, "What's more, the reputation of the Flor Descendants is much more reliable than anyone else, right?" But guys, can you really get that much money? ”

"Mr. Tuss," before the others could speak, Sirian turned around and interrupted the other party, "You are the overseer, please do your duty and do not interfere in the transaction." ”

Tus snorted and stopped talking.

Seeing this scene, even if it was Fang Yuan, he could see that there was something wrong with this guy.

And Tang Xin didn't get angry when she heard Tus's words, she only smiled and asked, "The descendants of Flor have a reputation at all, have you forgotten what they did a year ago?" ”

"The rumors above the community are just rumors, and the anonymous whistleblower's words are just one side, and they have not been confirmed." Tus narrowed his eyes.

"Groundless wind may not be without cause." Tang Xin was-for-tat.

Sirian coughed lightly, "Two, let's get back to the deal itself." Miss Tang Xin, what price are you willing to offer? ”

Tang Xin thought for a moment, "For every Crassus, fifty-four thousand thousand thousand sears." ”

Crassus is a unit used to measure the energy density of the aether in a crystal, which is equivalent to about seven kilograms of crystal.

The expression on Tus's face was first surprised, then laughing, and finally bursting out laughing.

The conveners of the art controversy also muttered, "Isn't this the same price as yesterday?" ”

"What are you kidding?"

Sirian's face also changed a few times, and he said to Tang Xin almost with restraint and anger: "Please don't be joking, everyone. ”

But Tang Xin shook her head, "This is not a joke. ”

Sirian looked extremely disappointed, shook his head, and said, "In that case, then we have nothing to talk about. For the sake of yesterday's verbal renegade, I can accept the fact that you teased us once, but from now on, this deal is none of your business. ”

He turned around and waved his hand, "Go back." ”

Tus also laughed, and said, "I told you, Mr. Cyrian, that it was just a trip for nothing. ”

Sirian muffled and did not answer him.

Tus was bored with himself, and gave the native a somewhat ill-intentioned look.

But it was at this time that Tang Xin opened her mouth behind them, "Mr. Cyrian, do you really think that the descendants of Flor will offer a higher price?" You won't be unclear about the market price of the earth source crystal, even if the production of source crystals on the market has become less now, its price will not grow to the sky rashly. And as far as I know, the people of the Flor Descendants have never purchased any aether hedras in the few months they have been here, so you don't think it's such a coincidence that they just need these source spars urgently, right? ”

Hearing her words, Tus sneered, turned to look at the three of them, "What materials does a large guild alliance like the Descendants of Flor need, do you need to inform you in advance?" ”

"That's not necessary, but coincidentally, yesterday we had a confrontation with the Descendants of Flor in the harbor, and they snatched what we wanted from your guild at a high price. I guess there's something going on? ”

Sirian was slightly stunned when he heard this, and stopped.

Tus's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "The conflict between you and the descendants of Flor is your own business, and we don't care what they buy things for." Whether it's really useful, or in order to take revenge on you, for us, as long as the goods can be sold at a higher price, it's fine. ”

But Tang Xin was murderous, and narrowed her good-looking eyes, "Can you really sell it?" ”

Sirian stopped completely, he was not a fool, and looked at Tus on the side, "Mr. Tuss, you said that the people of the Flor Descendants bought these Earth Source Crystals to build a positioning teleportation circle?" ”

Tus took a deep breath and had a vague sense that things were going in a bad direction, "...... That's what they said. ”

"Really?" Tang Xin asked rhetorically, "Then we can sign the contract now, and when do the people of the Flor Descendants plan to complete the deal with you?" ”

Tus already had sweat on his face, and smiled dryly, "How do I know this...... But of course, the sooner the better, but these things, depending on the buyer's requirements......"

But Cyrian dispelled his thoughts with a word, "Mr. Tuss, go and ask when the people of the Descendants of Flor will ask for the goods?" ”

Tus looked at Tang Xin with murderous eyes, but he had to take out the communication crystal, and then pretended to be in a state of disagreement with the other side before closing the crystal.

He looked at Sirian, and then at the others, and his voice was suddenly a lot quieter, "Half a month later......"

Tang Xin looked at Sirian and smiled, "Mr. Sirian, I'm done with what I'm going to say, can you still accept this deal?" ”

Sirian did not answer her, he muttered for a moment, and then said to Tuth, "Monsieur Tuss, how much deposit are the people of the Flor Descendants willing to give?" ”

Tus was a little dry-mouthed, how could the people of the Flor Descendants pay the deposit, and if the deposit was handed over, would they still be able to get it back?

There is a total of half a ton of earth source crystals in this batch, which is worth almost four million Riesel at market prices. Even if the deposit is 30%, it is 1.2 million.

The people of the Fleur Descendants asked him to help teach the other party a lesson, and promised him a lot of benefits, but how could he really spend more than a million for this?

If those people dared to do this, they wouldn't be able to eat and walk around in the guild.

He had thought it would be a simple thing to do, and he hadn't done it before.

Besides, even if they knew that the people behind it were the descendants of Flor who were making trouble, would those free electors still dare to retaliate?

But he never expected that someone would dare to fight against the people of the Flor Descendants.

Not only that, but it couldn't even be a moment late, and the other party immediately came to the door.

"Mr. Cyrian," Tus wiped his sweat, "isn't it a bit inappropriate to urge the other party to pay a deposit before the contract is negotiated." ”

"Then tell the people of the Descendants of Flor," Cyrian was unmoved, "either the contract will be finalized today, the transaction will be deposited, and the rest of the money will be paid later, or I will have to sell these things to someone else." ”

"Cyrian," Tus's voice was unkind, "you are going to offend the people of the Flor Descendants, have you considered the development of the guild?" ”

"So to speak." Sirian looked at the man, "You already knew that the people of the Flor Descendants bought these Earth Crystals for revenge, Mr. Tus?" ”

"No," Tus's face changed, how could he admit it, and he immediately shook his head, "I, I'm just thinking about a possibility." ”

He said bitterly, "Cyrian, we don't care what they buy these things for. ”

"But the premise is that it can be sold," Tang Xin once again opened his mouth lightly in Tus's murderous gaze, "How much risk is involved, Mr. Sirian won't be unclear, right?" ”

"Sirian, this, that's just her side of the story."

Tang Xin smiled, "Yes, but there's more to me than that." ”

She took a record crystal from Sylvid and handed it over, "Although we may not be able to complete this transaction with your guild, there is an old saying in our world - business is not benevolent, this is a small gift from your guild, if you don't mind, Mr. Cyrian, you can take a look first." ”

Tus already had a bad premonition in his heart, and looked at Tang Xin as if he had seen a ghost, "What is that?" ”

But Cyrian looked at him, then at the crystal, and had already expected it. Without saying a word, he opened the crystal and looked at it, and soon his expression turned cold.

In his direction, the young people behind him could also see the image on the crystal, and they couldn't help but sigh for a while, and let out exclamations from time to time.

Of all the people, it was Tus who happened to not see the things on the crystal, but he felt that Sirian's gaze was getting colder and colder, and his heart was becoming more and more uneasy.

Finally, Sirian shook his hand and shouted angrily: "Arrest this traitor!" ”

The young people behind him were already eager to try, but when they heard the order, they immediately rushed up and pressed Tuss to the ground with his hands.

The latter let out a cry like killing a pig: "What to do, what to do, you can't do this to me!" ”

Xili was disgusted for a while, and he didn't bother to say anything to this person, so he threw the crystal in his hand in front of the other party.

Tus opened his mouth wide and saw in the crystal that he was photographing his own residence in Orenze, and a man was coming out of his room.

Although he couldn't see the man's face clearly, the outfit on the other party was clear at a glance, and it was someone from the Flor descendants.

It was the middle of the night on the screen, and there was no excuse for him to meet privately with the people of Flor's descendants.

Even Tus himself was dumbfounded, his face was like a blank sheet of paper, and he only thought - who took this picture?

How come the people of the Fleur don't even have this vigilance?

And, how did these people guess that the people of the Flor descent would come to him?

Isn't this only a day and a night, even if you want to be exposed, but this is a little too fast, right?

He hadn't figured it out yet, but it was unlikely that Cyrian would give him a chance to think it through.

Cyrian also didn't intend to deal with the scandal of the guild in front of outsiders, he only bent down to pick up the crystal, and then looked at the three young men in front of him.

The other party is not very old, but the means are obviously somewhat unexpected.

He thought for a moment and said to Tang Xin, "Let everyone laugh." But if something like this happens, I'll have to ask the president for the deal, and if the people of the Flor descendants aren't willing to pay a deposit, I'll suggest that the president sell you somethingβ€”"

"Thanks, Mr. Cyrian." Tang Xin smiled politely, not minding.

Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, even if the descendants of Flor intervene, it will not make much sense. Unless they actually come up with the money, which is almost impossible.

Fang Yu expected them to stay here for a few more days, so she wasn't in a hurry.

The three of them watched the group of people in the art battle walk away, but Fang Yu still had some incredible meaning.

Tang Xin turned around and smiled at him: "How is it, brother, is this good show still exciting?" ”

Fang Yu was a little speechless and said, "Since you have that record crystal, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

"Some things don't work out if they're said sooner, Captain," Sylvid replied, still smiling, "and what's on the Record Crystal isn't really that deadly, and it's only most useful if the other party has already had a preconceived suspicion." ”

"Agreed," Tang Xin nodded, "Miss Sylvide is right, I want that crystal to have a final effect." As long as the other party has suspicions, they will investigate, because that guy has a problem, and the more he investigates, the more he will find out. ”

After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with her position. I couldn't help but look at Miss Ship Officer in embarrassment, but the latter just smiled.

But Fang Yu was only dumbfounded.

He looked at Tang Xin, and then at Sylvid, who was smiling very beautifully, and only thought that he must not offend his ship's officer and cousin in the future.
