Chapter 184: Earl Exxon
"NND, curse you for a dislocated jaw, no, it's better to be dumb." When he came out of the Mercenary Association, more than two hours had passed since Zhang Dali entered the Mercenary Association.
In the past two hours, Zhang Dali fell asleep several times, but each time he was woken up by Eisen, who was full of energy and talking more and more.
Probably because he felt that he had been talking alone for most of the day, Zhang Dali only said a few perfunctory words, and even then he didn't say anything at all, a little boring, and finally after more than two hours of gushing mental attacks, Eisen let Zhang Dali go and told Zhang Dali how to get close to Earl Exxon.
Not the way to enter the Lord's Palace, but the way to get close to Count Exxon.
It was his habit to show up at six o'clock in the evening to make his rounds around the market of the city of Bleaker, and it was only then that a common man with no status could approach him.
In fact, Zhang Dali had heard this from the NPCs in the market a long time ago, which made him feel that he had been blind for more than two hours.
The time happened to be in the early six o'clock, and Zhang Dali rushed to the business district of Xiaosecheng non-stop.
Skeletons are a good race, tireless, and even more energetic at night, and the business district of Bleaker City is more lively at night than during the day.
In fact, there is not much difference between the day and night in the chaos camp, but the light is lower at night.
Oh, and the moon rises at night, and the moon is the object of worship of the Night Elves and the awe of the undead.
Belief in such a thing does not discriminate between camps and races.
When Zhang Dali found Earl Exxon, he was chatting and laughing with the owner in an alchemy shop.
This is a very people-friendly earl. Deeply supported by the people of Xiaoser City. If at first glance such a scene. Zhang Dali will definitely come to such a conclusion.
But in fact, having heard about the NPCs in the business district behind the scenes, he knew that Exxon was a greedy and miserly earl.
Exacting taxes were his favorite, and showing a different kind of kindness and affinity was also his favorite.
To sum up, it is five words, greedy for money and hypocritical.
Zhang Dali likes such a person, the key is to like his greed for money.
In his opinion, people who are greedy for money are easy to do.
Everything in this world that can be solved with money. That's not a problem.
"Honorable Lord, are you the Earl of Exxon?" Although he is an NPC, after all, with the title of earl, Zhang Dali feels that appropriate humility is necessary.
"Yes, who are you?" Earl Exxon spoke in a majestic and generous tone, not to mention that he was an NPC with a knighthood.
"Oh, I'm an adventurer who just arrived in Xiao Se City not long ago, and I've heard of the great name of my lord for a long time, and I have admired my lord for a long time. I happened to pass by today and saw an adult in the store. I can't help but want to show my respect for you. I have to say that although this is the first time I have witnessed the real face of an adult. But my lord's extraordinary bearing makes me believe that you are the lord of Xiao Se City, the noble Earl of Exxon. Now it seems that I am not mistaken, there is no one in this city who is more imposing and domineering than adults. When these meaty words came out, Zhang Dali was about to vomit. At this time, he remembered the breastplate of silver scales. He felt that if the silver-scaled breastplate was there, he would definitely make the sycophants slip away from him, and thus win Exxon's heart even more.
"Hahaha, young adventurer, you're the most talkative adventurer I've ever met. Adventurers always think that they can be arrogant if they have a little strength, but they are too naΓ―ve. You're good, I love it. "Thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn, and this is especially effective for a hypocritical person.
"Lord Earl, can you take a step to speak?" Zhang Dali's real purpose is to wash away the guilt value, and in the face of an NPC, he has nothing to get his hands on, only money.
After all, it's not a glamorous deal, and you can't do it in front of the shopkeeper.
"If there's anything, just say it." Exxon didn't give Zhang Dali face, he looked at Zhang Dali very openly, and an open-minded temperament that a lord should have spontaneously emerged.
"Alright, my lord, I wonder if you noticed my name?" The red name status will show the name, and Zhang Dali doesn't know if this point is also valid for NPCs.
"Well, yes, it looks like you've killed quite a few adventurers. I don't like adventurers very much, and it's a pleasure to see you adventurers killing each other. Of course, you are not included among the adventurers I don't like. You're the only adventurer I've ever had a good impression of, and I hope you won't let me down in the future. There was a hint of appreciation in Exxon's eyes.
"I'm happy to clean up those adventurers who are disrespectful to the lord, but my name makes me the target of the adventurers' siege, so that I don't have a chance to do anything to the adventurers now. I wonder if Lord Count Lu Dao can help me cleanse my sin and give me another chance to attack adventurers. β
"So you're here for this, come with me." After listening to Zhang Dali's explanation, Exxon, who smelled the smell of copper coins, also felt that this store was indeed not a good place to talk.
"Yes, my lord." Following Exxon out of the alchemy shop and heading in the direction of the Lord's Palace, when he was about to reach the end of the shopping street, Zhang Dali saw a richly decorated carriage.
He noticed this carriage before entering the business area, and the shape was a little cute, and it was pumpkin-shaped.
Seeing Exxon lift the curtain and walk into the carriage, Zhang Dali was a little surprised.
He also thought that such a carriage should belong to the daughter of a local tyrant in the business district, but he didn't expect it to be Exon's.
However, when he thought about it, he was relieved.
Skeletons have a long-standing fondness for pumpkins, presumably because they find pumpkins with carved fangs and sharp eyeliner to resemble their heads.
Many of the buildings in Xiao Se City are pumpkin-shaped, and even the gate of the Lord's Mansion is also pumpkin-shaped, so it is not surprising that this carriage is Exxon's.
"Get in the carriage." Stepping onto the carriage, Exxon tilted his head towards Zhang Dali.
"It's an honor." To be able to sit in the same carriage with the Earl, if this is changed to the Western reality of the Middle Ages, it should be an honor for the ancestors to accumulate virtue.
"It's not an easy task to clean up the sin value." Before Zhang Dali could sit down, Exxon had already spoken.
Without paying a price, it is impossible to clean up the evil value, Zhang Dali said straight to the point: "Understand, whatever the Earl needs, as long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy the Earl." β
"You're very straightforward, and I like people like you. The guilt value can be offset by ten merit points, your sin value is very high, I think you need to reach at least the merit value of the sergeant rank to offset your sin value. I have the right to appoint you a sergeant, but you know, I have no reason to give you the rank of sergeant for nothing. β
Seeing that Zhang Dali didn't answer, as if waiting for him to make a condition, Exxon paused, reached out and touched his chin, and said, "However, if you give me 20 gold, I can consider giving you the rank of sergeant." If you can't get it, I can't help it. β
"20 gold, 50,000 yuan, he's meowing, this is robbing money." Unexpectedly, as soon as Exxon opened his mouth, it was 20 gold, and Zhang Dali couldn't help frowning.
"I can come up with 20 gold, but, Lord Earl, I wonder if I'm not a sergeant in the rank after clearing the sin points?" Fortunately, Zhang Dali is now a local tyrant, and 50,000 yuan can only make him frown and not hesitate. He was more concerned about whether the sergeant rank bought for 20 gold would disappear due to the reduction of merit points.
"The rank will not be reduced, but the merit points you need to upgrade the rank need to be accumulated from scratch, but it is better to have a rank than no rank, isn't it?" Hearing Zhang Dali say without hesitation that he could take out 20 gold, Exxon, who felt that he seemed to have lowered the price, regretted that he didn't raise the price a little. But he is an earl after all, and he can't follow the example of some small merchants and peddlers.
"If I pay another 20 gold, or more, can I buy more merit points from Lord Earl?" It is really troublesome that this thing needs to do a military rank task, and if it can be bought with money, Zhang Dali doesn't mind spending money to buy it directly.
"The appointment of a sergeant is my limit, and the sergeant's words need the Queen's approval. Without real merit, the queen could not pass the sergeant's instructions. So, you get the idea. Exxon said with regret.
"How much does a sergeant cost?" Zhang Dali doesn't like to do things that are too troublesome, since the sergeant can buy it, then the sergeant is good, it's better than the current fart chaos camp ranks don't have any.
"Hmm," Exxon hesitated for a moment, "50 gold." β
"He's meowing, if you upgrade one level, you will rise by 30 gold, this is a pit father, fall!" Thinking like this in his heart, Zhang Dali said in an embarrassed tone: "Lord Earl, let me take out 70 gold at a time, this is really beyond my ability, I don't know if you can be accommodating to reduce the price?" I think 60 gold would be more appropriate. β
"70 gold is the price I gave you because I think you are pleasing to the eye. I don't usually trade with adventurers, and the aura that emanates from adventurers disgusts me, and you're an exception. It should be an honour for me to deign to negotiate a deal with you in my capacity as Lord Earl. As soon as he saw Zhang Dali's conversation, Exxon could see that he was a rich man, and he believed that Zhang Dali would definitely get 70 gold.
"All right, sir, but you have to wait a minute, I don't have that much money on me, and I need to ask my friend to send me money." 70 gold is not a small amount, Zhang Dali has only 22 gold on him, not even half of 70 gold, he can only ask Xu Ranran, who has been online, to help him go to the consignment house to buy some gold coins.
"Well, it's okay, we can move on to something else." Zhang Dali's boldness made Exon's eyes shine, and he felt that he would definitely be able to get more out of Zhang Dali. (To be continued......)
