Chapter 331: Time Consignment Shop
Located in the northwest of the Light Wind Plain, Roland City is also known as the City of Abundance, blessed with hundreds of farms of all sizes on the fertile land, where the annual output of food is enough to feed the entire Light Wind Plain, every autumn there are always countless carriages lined up outside Roland City, and even many small human countries around it, as well as the two major races of elves and dwarves, will secretly send people to contact.
As the cartloads of grain were shipped out, huge amounts of money and resources flowed into the City of Plenty, as it had been since the Dark Ages, and no one could tell how much wealth had accumulated in the City of Plenty.
When Araso was twenty-four years old, he inherited the position of city lord, and today it has been more than twenty years, in the past twenty years, Araso with his shrewd mind, the entire city of abundance is in good order, which is an incredible thing in the eyes of many people, when Alaso inherited the position of city lord, the entire city of abundance is in chaos, the previous city lord old Alaso has just died, and a group of subordinates are busy fighting for power and profit, making the city of abundance like a plate of loose sand, At the same time, most of the surrounding major forces are eyeing this fertile land.
At that time, almost everyone was waiting to see Alasuo's jokes, and several city lords around him even made a bet on whether Alaso could survive a month in this position, and I am afraid that no one thought that Alaso not only survived this month, but also held up very beautifully, after sitting on the position of city lord, Alaso only did one thing, that is, to open the city gate and usher in a powerful elven army, this elven army only took ten days to sweep away the rebellion in Roland City, And for more than 20 years, it has always deterred the surrounding forces that are ready to move.
No one knows where this elven army came from, and no one knows why Alaso can control them, in short, Alaso relied on this elven army, and when everyone was not optimistic, he sat firmly in the position of the lord of Roland City, and in the next twenty years, he firmly controlled the city of Fertility in his own hands.
These stories were all heard from Senna when he was standing on the road...... More than a dozen carriages entered Roland City and went straight to the station of the mercenary group, until this time Lin Li knew that the mercenary group in Senna's hands had actually only been established for two weeks, and it didn't even have a decent name, not to mention the station, there were a few houses in the northwest corner of Roland City, and the most spacious one became a conference room and reception room, and the two next to it were distributed to the members to rest, of course, the crowding is certain, generally speaking, four or five team members can get one room, which is good, Even Senna, who was the head of the regiment, had to be crammed into a room with others.
However, Senna was confident that he would not be able to get out of this predicament in a short time...... Because just when he entered the door, Senna heard the young magician say to him: "Senna, if you are free in the afternoon, find a time to send these two sisters and brothers back to the City Lord's Mansion, remember, in the name of your mercenary group, as for what to ask, you can make up your own mind, but don't forget to help me get a million gold coins of food, I need to exchange them for something." β
The moment Senna heard this, Senna's first reaction was: Did I hear it wrong?
How is this possible...... What does the bounty of the lord of AraΓ§o mean, and as a Rolander, how could Senna not know? This almost means everything, whether it is money or power, as long as you can think of it, the city lord of Arathso can do it for you, Senna can't believe that there are still people in this world who would refuse such an opportunity, this is an opportunity that everyone dreams of, as long as it is a normal person, it is impossible to refuse...... But just now Senna clearly heard that the young magician named Ferret easily gave up this opportunity to himself, although he made a request, asking for a million gold coins of food, but in Senna's opinion, this is not a requirement at all, you know, he rescued the son of the lord of Roland City, Roland City, also known as the city of plenty, has always been famous for its abundance of grain, a million gold coins of grain, at most a thousand carriages, full of ten farms in a year, and such a farmIn the land of Roland City, there are hundreds of places that can be found!
After listening to Lin Li's words, Senna has been in a state of despair, the whole person seems to have fallen into an evil spirit, his expression is blank and his eyes are dull, but at the same time there is an inexplicable excitement in his mind, the feeling is like a beggar suddenly getting a large sum of money, while worrying that the money will suddenly fly away, and on the other hand headache how to spend it.
"Actually, I have a suggestion, I don't know if you want to hear it......"
"Huh?" This voice startled Senna, and when he raised his head and saw that it was the young magician who gave him the opportunity to talk to him, he nodded a little embarrassedly: "Magician Ferrey, how dare Senna not obey your orders......"
"No, no, no, this is not an order, just a small suggestion, in fact, I personally think that you had better not ask for money, although money is really important to adventurers, and it can indeed help you develop and grow the mercenary group, but money, in fact, is just icing on the cake many times, and does not have the meaning of deciding the surname, if you can, you better still mention some privilege requirements, such as the right to recruit members from retired soldiers, For example, the right to ask the army for assistance when completing a mission, by the way, it is actually a good idea to ask the city lord to send a group of instructors to help you train the team members, in short, try to make your mercenary group stronger......"
When Lin Li said these words, Senna had been listening quietly, and it was not as before, as long as Lin Li said a word, he would definitely have to pat more than three sycophants.
"To say something you may not like to hear, this time I went to the ruins of Char Town, the group of people under your command gave me a really bad feeling, they can't deal with the real danger at all, if you really want a huge fortune from Roland City, then I'm afraid you will not be far from disaster, because you can't deal with those who covet your wealth, the Breeze Plains is originally a world of the jungle, only strong enough strength can win the respect of others, I don't want to say more about it, you can see Jason for yourself." , It is no exaggeration to say that even if Jason does not even have a copper plate on his body, he can still live a relaxed and happy life in Doland, why is this? It is because of his strength, he and his two companions are one of the most outstanding adventurous teams in the entire Dorland, and no one dares to ignore their existence, even the Dorland City Lord, I said Captain Senna, you really don't want to have the status of Jason? β
"I think I see, Wizard Ferrey......" Senna stood there for a full minute before slowly raising his head, and at this time, the expression on his face was indeed surprisingly sincere: "Thank you for your advice." β
"Hehe, I can't afford to give me advice, it's just a small suggestion, as for what to do, it's up to you to make your own decision." After saying what he wanted to say, Lin Li seemed to have forgotten about this matter, and never mentioned it again from beginning to end.
Of course, Lin Li can forget, but Senna does not dare to forget.
The young magician's words just now really made him tremble, before this, he thought about exchanging this request for a huge fortune, and also thought about exchanging this request for huge rights, but he never thought about what he should use to keep all this after he got all this, you must know that this is a breezy plain, even Alasuo's father, the dignified Roland City Lord, will die at home inexplicably, let alone himself?
Lin Li glanced at Senna thoughtfully, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, the road himself had already pointed it out to him, and whether he could get through it could only depend on his own luck.
Anyway, for himself, this is just a matter of talking about it, even if Senna really can't go this way, he has nothing to lose, but if he really gets through and establishes a powerful mercenary group, it can bring great help to himself, the magic guild is a magic guild after all, and there are many things that are inconvenient to do in person, so almost every magic guild will maintain a good relationship with a mercenary group, the same is true of the Garros Magic Guild, and the same is true of the Orlana Magic Guild, Anyway, you have to maintain a good relationship with a mercenary group, so the more familiar this mercenary group is, the better...... Senna and the group of people under him are familiar enough, but unfortunately the strength is still too far behind, let alone let them do things for themselves, just such a group of adventurers above and below the tenth level, whether they can keep themselves is still a problem, Lin Li thought about it, or simply give them this reward, anyway, for himself, except for that batch of food, other things are dispensable, and the Roland City Lord he wants can't take it, and most of what he can take out is something that he can't see, It's better to give Senna a favor, give him a chance to develop and grow, and at the same time, accumulate some character for himself, if he finds Senna in the future, is he embarrassed to refuse?
This is a real win-win situation, especially for Senna, this is definitely a piece of pie falling from the sky, after getting Lin Li's promise, Senna laughed so much that he couldn't even close his mouth, all morning was fluttering, and everyone he saw was a creepy smile, so that after lunch, Lin Li finally couldn't stand it, and coughed twice: "I said Senna Commander, should you go to business?" β
"Oh, yes, yes, yes......" Hearing Lin Li say this, Senna, who had been smiling all morning, suddenly woke up, and then hurriedly changed his clothes, called a carriage, and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion with his two sisters and brothers.
After Senna left, Lin Li also began to get bored, no way, there were only a few people in the station of the mercenary group, but they were as scared to death as if they saw a ghost when they saw themselves, and they were either embarrassed or trembling when they said the last two sentences, and they didn't know what happened to them, and Jason, the only one who dared to say a few words to himself, also looked weird, which made Lin Li simply annoyed, and after taking a turn in the station, he simply called Nophile and Uy Farusi over.
"You two, if it's okay, go out with me."
"Oh...... "How big can two undead creatures be?" Of course, he is what he says...... In this way, Lin Li took a high-level vampire and a lich, and called someone from the station to lead the way, and a group of four people swaggered up to the streets of Roland City, from the street, Roland City and Doland are no different, they are all buildings left over from the dark ages, with a strong atmosphere of high elves, and even the various areas are mostly the same, from the mercenary group station, almost two hundred meters to the south, it is the adventurer guild where countless adventurers enter and exit, One street leads to the gate of the Adventurer's Guild, and the street is crowded with all kinds of shops, some selling weapons, some selling armor, some selling magic items, and some selling poison and hidden weapons...... In short, anything that adventurers will use, almost everything can be found on this street.
"Gilded roses?" As soon as he turned the corner, Lin Li saw this familiar name, and couldn't help but be a little amused for a while, it seems that Ysera's business is really doing very well, and even this Roland City, which is far away in the Breeze Plain, has not escaped the poisonous hands of their Mannis family.
"Ferrey Magician, you really have a good eye...... "The one who was called out by Lin Li to lead the way may be the one who is least afraid of Lin Li among the many adventurers in the mercenary group, this guy is called Barov, a tenth-level thief, but it is strange to say, this guy is a thief, but he does not have the obscene temperament of a thief at all, and he pointed and pointed along the way, but he really seemed to be a qualified tour guide, and when he arrived at the door of the gilded rose, Barov was even more foaming at the mouth and boasted:" The Gilded Rose is the best magic equipment shop in Roland City, although the price is a little more expensive, but the ones that can be sold are really good things, how about Ferley Magician, do you want to go in and have a look, you don't have to worry about the price, Captain Senna knows the boss here, if you fancy something, just take care of the name of Captain Sena, and I guarantee that I can give you the best price......"
"......" Lin Li touched his nose, he was really embarrassed Barov, in fact, he also had a little friendship with the boss of the gilded rose...... Naturally, there is no need to look at the things of the gilded roses, because no one here knows better than Lin Li, all their best things are left in Garros, and Lin Li himself is one of their biggest customers...... "By the way, Barov, is there any other place in your Roland City that sells magic equipment besides the gilded roses?" β
"It's not easy to say...... Barov hesitated slightly: "I can only try my luck......"
"Oh?"
"That's right, Wizard Ferry, not far ahead, there is a consignment shop that has been in business for hundreds of years, and many adventurers who are short of money like to put things there to consign, and over time a large market has been formed, by the way, if the adventurers want, they can also sell things to them, and they are responsible for selling them......"
"......" Lin Li touched his nose again, isn't this the legendary business that as long as the vision is good enough, it will definitely make a profit - pawnshop?
"Let's go, let's go!"
After coming to the world of Anriel for so long, he had never seen such a thing as a pawnshop, and for a moment Lin Li couldn't help but be interested, and with two undead creatures and a thief, he hurriedly walked to the opposite side of the road.
The place Barov said was not too far away, after a group of four people turned two streets, they soon saw a low building, this building was located at the corner of the street, the entrance was a dense three-way intersection, most of the pedestrians who came and went would let them look inside, from the place where Lin Li was now, he saw a row of marble steps, and two open gates, inside the gate from time to time there were adventurers in twos and threes, among which there were even a few strong men of good strength, at least from the eyes of Lin Li, Most of these people's strength is around level fifteen, although it is not strong enough to be Jason's, but among ordinary adventurers, this is definitely a rare talent.
As soon as the group walked into the door, someone greeted them warmly, this is a middle-aged man in his forties.
"Good afternoon, four distinguished guests, I wonder if there is anything I can serve? By the way, before that, please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Brooke, one of the heads of the Time Mail Buying Agency, and the four of them should be adventurers, right? If the four of you want to increase your strength, then you must be in the wrong place, our time consignment store offers a variety of weapons, armor and magical equipment......"
"The magic equipment is not used for the time being, but my companion happens to lack a weapon...... Lin Li pointed to Nophile beside him: "I wonder if Mr. Brooke has anything to introduce?" β
"Weapons? Yes, yes...... Great! The smile on Brooke's face suddenly became exaggerated, and as he led the group inside, he gushed endlessly: "We just shipped a batch of weapons in the past few days, by the way, the four of you in the Malaton Forge should have heard of it, right?" These weapons are the best products produced in the Malaton Forge Workshop, how about I, do you want to take the four of you to see them? β
"The Maraton Forge Workshop?" Lin Li stopped as soon as he heard this name, and his face suddenly sank: "Mr. Brooke, you shouldn't be joking with me, right?" It's okay to use the things in Maratun's forge workshop for the soldiers defending the city, but wouldn't it be too perfunctory for my companion? Can the equipment they forge can split the body of the demonic beast and block the attack of magic? β
"This ......" was asked by Lin Li, the middle-aged man couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, he knew that this time most of them were in the hands of insiders, the weapons and armor of the Maraton Forge Workshop, although they were famous throughout the Flanc Kingdom, but I am afraid that only a few people knew that their really elite equipment was only provided for the three Praetorian Guards, and what they usually sold was only second-rate equipment, although it was not as the other party said, it was so bad that it could only be used by the guards guarding the city, but in the hands of adventurers above level ten, It's really not as powerful as it should be...... However, the middle-aged man is experienced after all, although the trick was debunked on the spot, the look on his face did not seem to be flustered, but with a little embarrassment, he showed an apologetic smile, which can be regarded as exposing this matter, as the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person, the other party's smile can be regarded as an apology, Lin Li naturally can't continue to investigate, and when he was about to listen to how he explained, an unusually harsh voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Damn, which bastard has such a big tone? Even the equipment produced by the Maraton forge can only be used by the soldiers defending the city, so I really don't know, what kind of equipment is worthy of a few of you, how about taking it out to open my eyes? β
"......" Lin Li stood there, stunned for ten seconds, he was really angry and funny for a while, he had been in the world of Anriel for almost a year, and he had a lot of grudges and conflicts, but it was the first time he had seen a guy like him who was upright and upright...... Wrong...... Not for the first time...... As soon as Lin Li turned around, he knew that he was wrong.
Standing behind him was a young man in his twenties, looking round and short, fat, but also wearing a silver shining armor, the helmet had been taken off, and he was holding it with his right hand at this time, looking from a distance, it looked like a big winter melon was taking a small winter melon out for a walk...... "Damn, it turned out to be you bastard!" Before Lin Lidu could speak, Lasolic on the opposite side had already shouted like a pig: "Okay wow, good wow, I said why can't I find you in Doland, it turns out that I hid in Roland City, what, you also know how powerful your Uncle Lasorik is, you know that you hid first?" Tell you, it's useless to hide, you ...... You guys, get this bastard for me! β
Lasorik shouted hoarsely to his followers, but quietly took a few steps back...... It's a pity, those entourages are not stupid, when they were in Doland that day, they heard Master Gaza say with their own ears, that guy in a black cloak is at least seventeenth-level strength, what are you kidding, seventeenth-level monsters, you told us to go up and send them to death, why don't you go yourself?
"Damn, I'll let you go first......" Lasolic shouted there for a long time, but a few of the entourage didn't even move, even the stupidest people understood that something was wrong, and had to say cruel words at the moment, while taking back the order to arrest people...... "Shut up......" Lin Li glanced at Lasolic from a distance, and was no longer interested in paying attention to the silver winter melon, just smiled and said sorry to Brooke beside him: "I'm sorry, I've been delayed by this guy, how is it, Mr. Brooke, I wonder if there is any suitable equipment to introduce to my companion? β
