Chapter 44: The Viscount
The two reached a cooperation, and the emperor still had a lot of things to do, so he didn't stay long and left here directly.
After the emperor left, Lei Laohu determined the direction a little, found a fork in the road, and left quickly.
He didn't plan to participate in this mission anymore, because he was sure that as long as the mission didn't change from his previous life, he wouldn't be able to take this task with the strength of the three major guilds alone.
As for the Predator Guild? This blow is enough to greatly damage the vitality of the Iron Blood Guild, and the only regret is that I didn't kill the Iron Blood Maniac with my own hands, but there are still many opportunities in the future, right?
Because he was very familiar with the terrain of Death Valley, Thunder Tiger avoided wild creatures as much as possible along the way, and only those who couldn't hide would choose to fight.
Even so, along the way, the marksman's ammunition was exhausted.
However, at this time, he had already left the Valley of Death and was galloping in the direction of Sesame Town.
…………………………
As long as it is a title below the earl, the player does not need to go to the capital of the Sanctuary, Tarengard, as long as they find the city lord's mansion of a random city to change and promote the title.
The city lord of Sesame Oil Town was very enthusiastic about the arrival of Thunder Tiger.
Because Lei Laohu did not directly explain the purpose of his coming here at the beginning, but showed the Shang King's Decree outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
In a logistics town like the Templar Town, the main product of the Templar is the potion, but most of the potions are purchased by the Bright Camp, and they are basically not allowed to be sold to the outside world.
Therefore, merchants rarely come here, and there is naturally less oil and water for merchants, and now a businessman with the order of the king of Shang came to visit, which made the city lord of Xiangyou Town see the "money road".
Although the arrival of the player did bring a certain amount of income to the city lord, the player only needed to pay a mandatory tax of 1%, but many players knew that the transaction amount was less than 100 gold coins and did not need to pay taxes, so they tried their best to set their goods below 100 gold coins, and deliberately set the price of goods at 99 gold coins, which also made him not receive a lot of taxes.
The city lord, who was as fat as a pig, warmly took Lei Laohu's hand and shushed him for warmth, which was called enthusiasm.
For the performance of this city lord, Lei Laohu is not surprised at all, he has dealt with this city lord many times in his previous life, and knows that this city lord is very greedy for money, but he is also timid and afraid of things, so he will show the order of the king of Shang.
If he just came directly to the city lord to promote the title, it is estimated that he would have to give the other party a lot of benefits, because although this city lord is timid, he is not afraid of players, no matter how he is also a master, what he is afraid of is just losing his position.
Not only him, but every city lord of the main city of the system has the strength of an epic hero, which Lei Lao Hu knows very well.
The two of them were polite and sat down in the living room of the City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord O'Neill didn't put on any show of Thunder Tiger, and sat down with Thunder Tiger very politely.
After the two sides sat down, O'Neill spoke first: "I don't know what the Shang King is talking about here?" ”
Lei Laohu was polite and said directly: "I came here for two purposes, the first is to purchase a batch of medicinal materials, and by the way, recruit some pharmacists......
Before he finished speaking, O'Neill shook his head: "No, no, every pharmacist in our Sesame Oil Town has been registered with the Alliance, and we can't just let it go." ”
Lei Laohu had long known that he would answer like this, because the pharmacists in Sesame Oil Town were his cornucopia, and if there was one less, he would be distressed to death, after all, the apothecary was the pillar of the entire city for the famous Fragrant Oil Town, just like the merchants of Bailey City.
And Lei Laohu said this just a beginning, he didn't expect the other party to agree, if he agreed, there would be a ghost.
So he was not in a hurry at all, but changed his words and said: "Of course, if it doesn't work, we can also change the way, you will provide the potion, and I will be responsible for selling it to the outside world, you know, there are some places where this kind of thing is very short." ”
Some of the places that Lei Laohu said are actually the dark camp, because the dark camp is not good at medicine, there are only underground creatures in addition to undead creatures and hell creatures, although their location is rich in mineral resources, but in general it is not suitable for the growth of plants, so there is no way to talk about the existence of any pharmacist profession.
"Well, the potions are strictly controlled, and every batch of potions is made, there are special records, and I don't dare to sell them at will!" O'Neill was a little moved, but he rolled his eyes and politely rejected Lei Laohu's proposal.
Lei Laohu didn't believe O'Neill's nonsense at all, this city lord was indeed greedy for money, but his timidity and fear were also famous, so there must be some reason for his refusal that he didn't know.
In fact, Lei Laohu's discussion with the other party about the sale of potions was only temporary, because in his previous life when he was in the Iron Blood Guild, the Iron Blood Guild had dealings with this city lord in this regard.
O'Neill gave the potion to the Iron Blood Guild to sell, and he accounted for ninety percent of the profits, and the Iron Blood Guild responsible for sales accounted for one percent, but all the sources of the potions, the Iron Blood Guild claimed to have made it itself.
But even this profit made the Iron and Blood Guild make a lot of money, although it took some risks, but in the face of interests, everything was worth it.
Therefore, Lei Laohu's plan is to take this business as revenge against the Iron and Blood Guild, at least cutting off one of the other party's financial routes.
Since the other party had any concerns that he didn't know, Lei Laohu thought about it for a while, and then pretended to be very distressed and said: "Actually, I didn't take these potions to sell, I have such a chamber of commerce under my hand, there are many members of the chamber of commerce, and they are present in almost every piece of land on the mainland. And when you do business in other camps, there will inevitably be some friction or something. ”
"Well, there is some truth, doing business, there is some friction, and it is inevitable to encounter robbers or something!" O'Neill understood what Lei Laohu meant as soon as he heard his words, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
"That's it, so our Chamber of Commerce has also raised some private soldiers, although these private soldiers have followed us for a long time and a short time, but all of them are elites, and if you die, there will be one less, you don't know how difficult it is to cultivate an elite, so I am going to prepare some life-saving potions for these private soldiers, so I came to find the city lord, right? I hope the city lord will make it convenient! When Lei Laohu said this, he looked quite distressed.
As soon as he heard Lei Laohu's words, O'Neal's eyes lit up, this reason is good, even if something goes wrong in the future, the problem is not on his side, he can completely put the responsibility on Lei Laohu, and say that he is to support the businessmen of the camp.
Thinking of this, O'Neill was no longer hypocritical: "The king of Shang is really like a soldier, the president of the Chamber of Commerce like you is rare, as a city lord of the bright camp, he should support the development of the camp Chamber of Commerce, okay, I have the final say in this matter, I will tell them immediately, you can take as much as you want, I guarantee that the price must be the lowest." ”
"Then thank you, Lord Castle!"
The two sides reached a consensus, looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
"By the way, what's the second thing you said?"
"My Templar reputation has reached 10,000, and by the way, I also want to be promoted to a knighthood, and you know, although I am a businessman, it is much more convenient to have a knighthood for some things!" Only then did Lei Laohu tell his true purpose for coming here.
"It seems that the King of Shang has really worked hard, he has a reputation of 10,000 so soon, he must have made a lot of contributions to my clan." O'Neill also said a good word in passing.
"Wherever, I am also a human being, contributing to my own race, that is how it should be!" Lei Laohu said very modestly.
The two complimented each other again, and after O'Neill confirmed Lei Laohu's reputation, he directly handed Lei Laohu a black token engraved with subcharacters.
Lei Laohu took a look at the introduction of the token, and directly threw the token into the bag, this thing is similar to the Shang Wang Ling, there should be some hidden attributes, and he doesn't know.
(Viscount Order: Proof of Identity token, not dropped, not tradable.) )
With the knighthood, Lei Tiger said to O'Neill: "I still have a city, and I still need to buy the construction blueprints for the buildings of the 1st to 8th class buildings. ”
"You're still a city lord?" O'Neill was taken aback, he didn't expect that the other party not only had the title of Shang King, the same status as himself, but also a city lord, but also the city lord of the player's first city, so his title began to change, from you to you.
"Where, it's just a small city, mainly used to keep private soldiers in captivity." Lei Laohu said very politely.
"I see, I understand, since we are friends, I will not charge you any more expensive, and we will all sell it to you at the cheapest price."
"Thank you so much, Lord Castle."
Saying that, Lei Tiger spent 36,000 gold coins to buy the construction blueprints of the class from level 1 to level 8.
This price should be said to be earned by Lei Laohu, the original price of buying these drawings is relatively expensive, level 1 needs 100,000, level 2 needs 200,000, and so on, this is not counting the materials required to build.
However, the actual price of Lei Laohu's purchase is 100 times cheaper, which is no different from picking up.
Lei Laohu understood that this was also a signal from the other party to him, hoping that they could cooperate more with each other, after all, a merchant with a city and a merchant without a city are different.
What's more, this merchant is still a merchant king, and there is also the player's first city, and there is even a chamber of commerce that is not weak under his hands.
With so many advantages, as long as he can cooperate more, O'Neill is not afraid that he will not make money, so he sold it to Lei Laohu at this price, just to have a good relationship with him.
