Section 091 The Price of Exotic Treasures
Shortly after entering the city of Yanlin, Xin You met the husband of Lady Cthourmare, Baron Stordori.
Baron Stodori was a thin young man with a slightly pale face, who should only be about 30 years old, but he looked a little decadent.
After some discussion with her husband, Madame Czumari paid the mercenaries 20 times the amount as agreed.
The mercenaries cheered, and soon after, they left, led by the mercenary leader Leo, intending to go to the temple in Yanlin City and present the body of the spell wizard to the temple, which was another extremely rich reward.
Xin You didn't follow those mercenaries, he was going to go around this Yanlin City alone, and then think about how to use his marked quota.
It's just that before he could go far, behind him, the little girl Stephen stopped him: "Uncle Xinyou, don't go yet, okay?" ”
Xin You turned around and looked at the little girl with some confusion.
Baron Stodori bent down slightly, made a standard aristocratic salute to Xin You, and solemnly said to Xin You: "Your Excellency Xin You, thank you for saving my wife and my daughter, in order to show my gratitude to you, I will set up a banquet at home, and please be sure to appreciate it." ”
Xin You frowned slightly, and subconsciously wanted to refuse Stadory's invitation, but when his gaze touched the little girl's expectant gaze, he hesitated again.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, it is my pleasure." Xin You nodded, and agreed.
Although Yanlin City is only a small city, its area is not small, and its population exceeds 100,000.
In the center of the city is the temple, and on the outskirts are the bazaar, entertainment and residential areas, which are divided into commoner and aristocratic quarters.
The civilian residential area is full of people, it seems very crowded, very noisy, the environment is also a little bad, there are all kinds of domestic garbage everywhere on the ground, in contrast, the environment in the aristocratic residential area is much better, not only the roads are clean and tidy, there are even a lot of green plants, every moment, there are soldiers patrolling around.
Baron Stortory's residence, at the very edge of the aristocratic quarters, was a small courtyard that looked a little in disrepair.
The area of the courtyard is not large, and there are not many servants in it, after instructing the servants in the courtyard to prepare a banquet, Baron Storry's family of three will talk to Xin You in the relatively spacious living room.
"Your Excellency Xin You, I am a little nobleman from the countryside, I have no background in Yanlin City, and I am not well entertained, please forgive me." Baron Stodori smiled apologetically.
Perhaps it was because he learned about Xin You's strength from Madame Cthourie, so Baron Stodori did not have any aristocratic frame in front of Xin You, and he seemed modest, kind, and polite, which also made Xin You's impression of this baron not bad, at least not bad.
"This kind of hospitality is already very good." Xin You hurriedly said.
This was the first time he had attended a banquet in his life, and although he was very calm, he felt a little cramped in his heart.
Several people chatted and chatted for almost an hour.
In the chat, Xin You also had a general understanding of the Stadori family.
The title of Baron Stortoria was inherited from his father, who had long since died, and inherited the farm he left behind.
It's just that if he doesn't make any achievements in his life, in his next generation, the title will be revoked, and he will be demoted from a nobleman to a commoner, and as a commoner, he will not be able to control a farm, and the farm handed down by their family will be swallowed up by other nobles, and they will become nothing.
In order to prevent this from happening, Baron Stodori brought some servants and came to Yanlin City to develop.
It's just that although Yanlin City is only a small city, there are many nobles gathered in the city, and Baron Stadori is a noble lord in the countryside, but in Yanlin City, his status as a baron is a little insufficient.
Baron Stodori has been 'active' in Yanlin City for several years, and has almost exhausted all the savings in the farm, and even the armed guards in the farm have been forced to dismiss most of them, and the remaining number of armed guards is only enough to maintain the 'law and order' in the farm.
Because of this, when Lady Czumari brought her daughter to Yanlin City, she had to hire the Hammer Mercenary Regiment to serve as their temporary escort.
As for the strange treasure, it was obtained by chance during the extremely prosperous period of the Starr family, and later, this strange treasure has been secretly collected by the Starr family and has been passed down to the present.
In this generation, for the sake of the family's nobility and the family's farmstead to continue to be inherited, Baron Stodori finally made up his mind, he let his wife return to the farm, secretly took out the strange treasure, mixed it with other goods in the carriage, and transported it to Yanlin City.
Exotic treasures are extremely precious in this different world, even if they are priceless, it is not an exaggeration.
Baron Stodori is going to auction this strange treasure in the auction house of Yanlin City, and the money obtained from the auction will be enough to raise his title to another level or two as long as it is donated to the temple, so the problem encountered by Baron Stordori's family will be solved.
So, there was Xin You's Heavenly Dao mission......
Xin You suddenly interrupted Baron Stortory's gushing narration: "Your Excellency, you mean, you are going to sell that strange treasure?" ”
Baron Stodori was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "This is a treasure inherited from the family, and I don't want to sell it unless it is absolutely necessary, but ...... In order for my family to continue to pass it on, I had to sell it. ”
Mrs. Czumari on the side also smiled bitterly: "The matter of the strange treasure has been leaked, we are just small nobles, we can't keep this strange treasure at all, rather than let it be snatched away by those big nobles, it is better to sell it as soon as possible." ”
Xin You nodded, and a fire suddenly ignited in his heart.
For the strange treasure in Baron Stordory's hand, to tell the truth, he was very excited.
At first, he thought that this treasure was 'not for sale', so he dispelled the idea of this treasure.
But now, according to Baron Stordory's family, they are ready to sell this strange treasure at a high price.
And this also made Xin You have an idea for this strange treasure again!
He asked tentatively, "I wonder how much you plan to sell for that strange treasure, Your Excellency Baron?" ”
Baron Stodori pondered for a few seconds, and stretched out four fingers at Xin You: "At least 4,000 gold coins." ”
