Chapter 323: City Lord of Darkstaff

Wren was originally a little vigilant, the trade fair hall was protected by layers of magic circles, and there were still people who could directly open the portal and enter.

When he heard the words of the two, he was also shocked.

The person who came turned out to be the lord of Deep Harbor City, Stave Aurosan!

Slightly shorter than Wren, about 1.8 meters tall, Darkstaff wears a featureless brown robe, but underneath the robe, he has extremely strong muscles, a broad body, and a body shape more like a melee transcendent than a wizard.

This legendary high-ranking wizard has a black beard, the hairline of his forehead has gradually receded, his black hair is interspersed with silver stripes, and there is a silver band running through the top and bottom of his beard, and he has a handsome appearance, and his eyes are determined, with an unforgettable noble demeanor.

The most striking thing was a black staff in his hand.

The name of this staff is called "Black Staff", and it has a strange appearance, with some twists on the body of the staff, like a charred branch, and its appearance is not good, but it is actually an extremely powerful legendary staff!

It is with the help of his wife, Leila Aurosan, that he has been able to hold the city of Shenzhen for hundreds of years.

It is said that the black wand cannot be stored in dimensional space for some reason, so no matter where Black Stav goes, the black staff never leaves his hand.

This has become a symbol of Darkstaff, and even his wizard's tower is directly named the Black Rod Tower.

Wren's soul eye saw through the other party's soul, and the entire nineteen layers of soul structure were revealed, and the number of secret elements was even more innumerable for a while, at least hundreds, and the soul was like a small sun that could not be looked at directly, and it was only one step away from being able to produce a transformation.

This person is indeed the lord of Darkstaff, and he is not a deformed fake.

Wren also stood up, took off the Mithril mask, and bowed slightly: "I've seen the city lord." ”

Combass and Severwitt quickly removed their masks as well.

"Count Glamorgan, two more, sit down. Darkstaff nodded in response, always serious and wise as rumored, he asked Wren to sit down, but he still stood up straight, and asked, "I just got a report from a masked lord that you killed a dragon sacrifice and sold a shadow mask?"

"Yes, Lord of the City. Wren raised his eyebrows, no wonder Blackstaff could teleport directly into the box, it turned out that he was the backstage of this black market fair.

The black market trade fair is not visible on the bright side, but in fact it is a tool for the rulers of Shenzhen-Hong Kong City to collect money, which is also a big secret.

But Darkstaff doesn't seem to care about being known.

Wren immediately guessed the other party's intention.

So he took the initiative to take out the shadow mask and said, "Your Excellency, please identify it." ”

"Hmm. Somewhat surprised by the young man's astuteness, Darkstaff couldn't help but look twice before taking a closer look at the mask in his hand.

There was silence in the box.

Combas and Schweft felt cramped and uneasy, and quietly looked at the rumored city lord, and even their breathing became lighter, and they didn't dare to make a sound to disturb.

Wren was at ease, and as a student of the Holy Soul Wizard, he didn't need to be so in awe of Darkstaff.

Half a minute later, Darkstaff completed the identification.

"Sure enough, it is one of the ten dragon sacrifice masks, and it is a shadow mask of relatively high quality, which is also rare in the epic level. Darkstaff praised him and looked at Wren, "This mask will work for me, you can make an offer." ”

Wren was stunned for a moment, let himself bid?

Darkstaff's strength and status are higher than his own, he has ruled Shengang City for hundreds of years, it can be said that he is really rich, and there are few people in the entire empire who are richer than him.

According to common sense, it should be him who is right to quote, overwhelm himself in momentum, and thus seize the initiative.

Glancing at the other party's soul emotion, it was very calm and did not fluctuate greatly.

Wren couldn't guess a little, so he considered it for a few seconds, and his expected price of the shadow mask was a minimum of 300,000 gold and a maximum of 400,000.

Since you let yourself make a price, then you can set the highest price.

Others are afraid of the prestige of the city lord of Shenzhen, but Ren doesn't care, he asks for the price all over the sky, sits on the ground and pays back, everything can be discussed.

"Four hundred thousand gold guilders. ”

Hearing this price, both Combas and Schwevert were trembling, and their hearts were about to jump out of their throats, for fear that the city lord would be angry on the spot.

However, Blackstaff didn't react very violently, just shook his head slightly, "It's too high." ”

Wren wanted to reduce the price moderately, but found that the color of the other party's soul had not changed.

It was still calm.

This shows that Hardstaff can actually accept this price.

A top-notch epic item, 400,000 gold shields is not outrageous, not to mention the lion's big mouth, if it is handed over to the dark mage to use, the strength will skyrocket several times.

Dark-Staff, an arcane of the Seal School, not a Dark Mage, probably bought a shadow mask for someone else's use.

Or the shadow mask hides secrets and serves other purposes.

Wren wasn't interested in probing, though.

"Your Excellency the City Lord, I will ask for 400,000 gold guilders, and I won't sell any less. Wren grasped the other party's psychology and said: "Modu is one of the largest auction houses in the empire, I believe that it is not difficult to sell 400,000 gold shields, what does the city lord think?"

It's actually a bit difficult, and you can only auction it at this price in the best case.

The normal price should be around 350,000 gold dong.

Blackstaff stared at Wren for a few seconds, his eyes couldn't hide his surprise, thinking that Wren knew something, and finally nodded, "Yes." ”

Combass and Schwefert were dumbfounded.

In their opinion, Wren slaughtered the city lord fiercely, and he succeeded!

A smile appeared on Wren's face, but instead of waiting for him to be happy, Dark Stave continued: "However, you must also sell me the soul of the green dragon, for a total of five hundred thousand gold guilders, but I will not trade all in cash, I will give you what is more interesting." ”

This was a great surprise to Wren, and he didn't react for a while.

He released the news of the soul of the green dragon in order to attract the dragon warlock Deacon Searles to take the bait, but unexpectedly, he caught a bigger fish!

The soul of the green dragon is priced at 100,000 gold shields, which is neither high nor low, it can only be said to be decent.

But Stave is not a dragon vein warlock, and the legendary junior green dragon is not of much use to him, what does he want the dragon soul for?

Wren's mind raced and he thought about it a lot.

Deacon Ssells is a masked lord, and each masked lord is appointed by Darkstaff, and the relationship between them must be extremely trusting, and Darkstaff came forward to buy the dragon soul, which should be to reduce the danger of Deacon Searls revealing his identity.

"What does the city lord pay for?" Wren asked curiously.

Darkstaff raised his hand, and a pile of silver crystalline ore appeared on the ground, and said, "This is three thousand pounds of silver ore, I think you should like it." ”

Wren couldn't help but be stunned.

Immediately, he was relieved that his actions in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City could not avoid the eyes and ears of the city lord, and he didn't hide it, it was too easy to investigate.

The 3,000-pound silver mine is supposed to be the accumulation of many years of Leeds Hill ash coal mines.

He nodded, "I accept heavy silver mine payments, but that's not enough. ”

Darkstaff was prepared, and took out another memory crystal, "There is a space-time coordinate in this, located in the 404th layer of the abyss, the area is not large, equivalent to two or three imperial provinces, when I passed through this layer of the abyss many years ago, I found that there is an area rich in heavy silver mines, and the reserves are very rich. ”

"If you're interested, I'll give you this coordinate, how about offsetting it against 50,000 gold guilders?" Darkstaff had a smile in his eyes, as if he knew that Wren would agree.

Wren's heart was pounding, but his face was impassive.

How many layers of the bottomless abyss are, no one can say clearly.

The environment of each abyss is different, and the only thing in common is that it is filled with countless demons, and the evil power that can degrade people by polluting their minds all the time, and there is no more terrifying place for intelligent beings other than demons.

The 404th layer of the abyss, Wren had never heard of it before.

He opened the mobile phone library, but he didn't find the corresponding information.

"City Lord, do you think that with my strength, I can break through to the 404th Layer Abyss?" Wren pretended to be a little embarrassed.

"Not now, but later. Dark Stave smiled rarely, "And you can ask your teacher to help, entering the abyss is not difficult for a Holy Soul wizard." ”

Wren smiled bitterly in his heart, with the teacher's current state, he couldn't help at all.

A space-time coordinate costs 50,000 gold guilders, which is too expensive.

However, if it is sold to Elder Titan, let alone 50,000 gold shields, it will be increased tenfold to 500,000 gold shields, and it is estimated that Elder Solim will agree immediately.

Of course, Wren wouldn't be so stupid, wouldn't it be nice to keep himself to mine in the future?

In fact, he was already willing to buy it, but he didn't want to agree so easily, his face was still hesitating, and he said: "The abyss is too dangerous for me, and it is also very far away, please let me think about it again." ”

It's clear that this isn't even to the bottom line for Darkstaff.

Sure enough, Wren pretended to think about it for a few minutes, and seemed to be about to say no, but Darkstaff finally couldn't hold his breath and said: "I don't know what you want so many heavy silver mines for, but I can call the shots in the Leeds Hill Ash Coal Mine in the north of the city and transfer it to you at a price of 200,000 gold dong." ”

At this, Darkstaff's face was expressionless, and his gaze swept over Combas and Swift.

The two of them felt the terrible coercion and hurriedly lowered their heads.

Darkstaff's words undoubtedly exposed his relationship with Deacon Sells, as long as a person with a little brain thinks about it, he can guess that Deacon Sells is one of the masked lords.

The identity of the masked lord is kept secret in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City, and it can be used as a joke in private, but if someone really publicly identifies it, it will be a capital crime in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City.

Wren had long known the identity of Deacon Sells, so he wasn't surprised.

For the sake of the Shadow Mask and the Green Dragon's Soul, Blackstaff can be said to have spared no cost, even risking the identity of the masked lord being exposed.

The value of the Leeds Hill Ash Coal Mine must be more than 200,000 gold.

Even if there is no heavy silver mine, the profit from mining ash coal is more than 20,000 gold dong every year, and the heavy silver ore produced can be firmly controlled in their own hands.

This should be the bottom line of Darkstaff's psychology.

"Deal!"

Wren decisively agreed, took out the soul stone of the green dragon's soul and handed it to Darkstaff.

The Leeds Hill Ash Coal Mine is worth 200,000 gold, the pile of heavy silver ore on the ground is worth 150,000 gold guilders, and the memory crystals are equivalent to 50,000 gold guilders, adding up to only 400,000.

Darkstaff took out another 100,000 gold dongle for the golden ticket, and then the deal was completed.

A slight smile flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to be satisfied with the transaction, handed Wren a badge with a twisted black rod on it, and said, "This is the Black Rod Talisman, you can use it to enter the castle district and the Black Rod Tower at will, and use the cost of the Sky Travel Agency at a triple discount." ”

Wren was pleasantly surprised, "Thank you, Lord Castle. ”

Darkstaff nodded indifferently, "Say hello to Master Anthy for me." With that, he opened the portal and walked in.

Until the portal closed, both Combas and Schwefert breathed a sigh of relief.

"Look at you. Wren was in a good mood and made fun of the two.

Kang Basas sighed helplessly, "You are a student of the Holy Soul Wizard, of course you don't have to be afraid of the city lord, we don't dare to be presumptuous in front of the city lord." ”

Schwiver nodded in agreement.

Wren smiled but didn't say anything.

Through the Soul Eye, he discovers the secrets of Darkstaff.

This seemingly harsh city lord is terrifying, but in fact it is disguised to intimidate enemies or people with bad intentions, which is conducive to ruling the city. Darkstaff's true personality should be relatively peaceful and quiet, and there must be another side to it in private, which is completely different from what he looks like in front of outsiders.

Shortly after Darkstaff left, the waiter returned to the box and brought a catalogue of transactions.

Sure enough, there are no Shadow Masks and Green Dragon Souls on the catalog.

Wren browsed through these things, and there was nothing he wanted, so he didn't waste any more time and left the fair early.

Back at the inn outside the grotto, to retrieve the Ultramarine, he opens the portal and returns to the surface.

The next day, Wren went to the city hall in Shenzhen Hong Kong City to handle the change of ownership of the Leeds Hill ash coal mine, and the nominal owner, Baron Deacon Sears, did not show up, but did not interfere with the handover, apparently the officials of the town hall were instructed.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wren went out of town to inspect the ash coal mine and took over the mine as its new owner.

Standing on the watchtower, looking out over this open-pit coal mine, hundreds of miners are busy, driving steam excavators to hard work.

Everything is in order, and mining has not stalled because of the change of owners.

Wren had mixed feelings.

I didn't expect that one day, I became a coal boss!

"Boss. ”

"I'll supervise the mining of the mine, speed up the progress, and try to dig up more heavy silver mines, which will be delivered to Modu once a month," said Swiftett, standing next to him. ”

Last night, Wren had decided to hand over the ash coal mine to Schweaver to operate, and offered Schwifert a salary that Schweaver could not refuse, 3,000 gold a year, plus share incentives.

This is a windfall for Tieqi Iron Guard, who has been unable to throw himself into the door.

Moreover, as the director of the ash coal mine and the spokesperson of the Earl of Glamorgan in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City, Schwefert opened the passage to the upper class of Shenzhen-Hong Kong City.

Schwefert changed his tune on the spot, calling Wren his boss like an Ultramarine.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Wren withdrew his gaze.

Schwefert is still very reliable, and he can rest assured. Even if you have a problem, you can always send it over to view.

He didn't stay in Shengang City for a long time, took the black staff talisman, and immediately teleported back to Modu.
