CH.19 Buying an Island

A day later.

Bright sunlight poured in through the window, imprinting a spotted light in the shape of a field on the ground.

The breeze rustled the curtains.

An Rui sat in his chair and looked at the father and daughter opposite, exuding a gentle gaze.

After being healed by the divine arts, Isaacs is now much better, and the wound on his back has healed, leaving only a shallow scar. Amy sat beside her father with a happy smile on her face.

"Mr. Isaacs, life has three ups and downs, everyone has bad luck, the parasite is dead, your bad luck is gone, and what awaits you will be a new life, a new beginning. Our Balord Chamber of Commerce is in need of nautical talents like you at the time of employing people, and I very much welcome you to join the Balord Chamber of Commerce. I promise I won't treat you badly, and at least I'll make you a captain. An Rui said with a smile.

"I haven't thought about the future yet, everything came too suddenly. I didn't expect you to suddenly appear and free me from the clutches of the parasites. I still feel dizzy, as if in a dream. Isaacs said.

"It's okay, you can think slowly, I'm not in a hurry to force you to make a decision. Whether you choose to join us, or take Amy out of the Chamber of Commerce to live a relatively peaceful and safe day, I have my hands on my back. An Rui paused, then added, "If you choose to leave, it is recommended to go farther, the sea of blades is becoming more and more unsettled. ”

"yes. Everyone is always fighting and killing. Isaacs sighed.

An Rui and the father and daughter chatted a few more words, and then got up to leave. Walked to the door. Isaacs father and daughter hurriedly got up to see each other.

When he walked to the door, An Rui stopped again, turned around and said, "That's right." One thing I almost forgot to tell you is that the parasite left something inside you after it died. It's a little gift for you. ”

"Leave a little ...... Stuff? Isaacs' face changed slightly. The parasite is the nightmare of his life, and anything related to it is an extension of the nightmare, a terrifying afterimage.

"Yes, nothing bad at all. You don't have to worry. ”

"What is it?"

"You try to bring out all the strength in your body, and you'll be able to see it."

Isaacs complied, bewildered, and clenched his hands into fists. All hands on the same page. Listening to the sound of Gaba Gaba's popping beans, his sleeves bulged, and his arms were thicker than before. His eyes trembled as he thought of something. Hurriedly rolled up his sleeves. The skin on his arm was exposed.

On the skin, there are black and cyan veins squirming, conveying one majestic force after another!

"The effect of the expulsion potion is very urgent, it only expelled most of the parasite's body at the beginning, and a small part of the body is still in your body. This part of your body belongs to the parasite, but it also belongs to you, and you can control it at will. It's a little compensation for the parasite after committing a lot of crimes. An Rui explained.

"Nope. I don't want its body! Mr. Anrui, tell me. Is there any way to get rid of all of its bodies? Isaacs said hurriedly.

"I'm sorry, but that's probably not going to be possible, because it's been in your body for so long that it's completely penetrated into your bones, your flesh, and your internal organs. If you get rid of all those remnants, I'm afraid you will ...... too" An Rui spread his hands helplessly, and the meaning was self-evident.

This "gift" made Isaacs very distressed, but he had no choice but to accept it.

As an outsider, Anrui thinks this is a good thing.

The parasite is a kind of monster that focuses on strength, and its strength is quite strong, and it is only slightly inferior to An Rui in the state of half-dragon. Part of the parasite's body remains in Isaacs's body, which makes Isaacs much more powerful. It's just that this power is a little uglier, and the veins and veins are uncomfortable just looking at it.

Anrui patted Isaacs on the shoulder and left the room.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Anrui was busy selling goods to make a lot of money.

The fleet returned from the New World with a full load, taking with them a lot of good things, each worth more than the other. What Anrui lacks now is money, so of course he has to sell these things. The Gem Country is a big country in the Blade Sea, second only to the ancient kingdom of Aran, and this is the imperial city of the Gem Country, so it is really a good place to sell things, and there is no need to worry about buyers at all.

Anrui mainly sells some medicinal herbs and ores.

He found the local exchange and gave the list of items for sale to the owner of the exchange. The boss glanced at it and was immediately in awe, for this was a large transaction.

The transaction was successfully completed, and An Rui exchanged those flowers and plants with hard stones for more than three million gold coins, all of which were stuffed into the space treasure chest.

Counting this money, plus the gold and silver treasures he had obtained directly from the New World, it had added up to a staggering ten million gold coins!

An Rui's capital exceeded the 10 million mark for the first time, which made him a little excited.

If you have money, you will spend it, this is his usual style, and the money is kept as a pair of golden mountains, which is of little use except for a dizziness. Only by spending it all can the money work and strengthen the chamber of commerce.

Good steel has to be used on the cutting edge, and so is the money.

What is the most lacking of the Overlord Chamber of Commerce now?

It's turf!

A territory that can gain a foothold in the Sea of Blades!

In the past, the Overlord Chamber of Commerce had always carried out trade with Xingyue Island as the center, but Xingyue Island was not the Overlord Chamber of Commerce after all, and it was not a territory.

The New World is a territory, and it is a large territory, but it is too far away from the Blade Sea to reach it. The Overlord Chamber of Commerce also needs a territory located in the Blade Sea, which can be used as a base to connect with the New World end to end, forming a transportation line that can continue to make a lot of money.

For this new territory, An Rui already had a plan, and he could get it in the gem country. It just costs a little money. This site has to be bought for money.

……

The next day.

In a meeting room in the Imperial Palace of the Jewel Country.

Anrui stood by the window, holding a wine glass in his hand, sipping a fine wine. While enjoying the view from the window. He has been running on the sea all year round, and he rarely sees the scenery on the shore.

Before that, he had already proposed to the officials of the palace the idea of buying an island from the gem country, but the island he wanted to buy was too expensive for ordinary officials to call the shots. The matter finally reached the ears of the Queen of the Gem Country. The queen offered to speak to him personally about the matter, and told him to wait patiently.

Waiting for a noble queen is not a difficult task, and the wine provided by the palace is really good.

Anrui has not seen the Queen of the Gem Country with his own eyes. but he knew the face of this queen. In his mind, a middle-aged woman's face appeared, the woman was old but still charming, and her temperament was very noble. It is by no means comparable to ordinary women.

The queen of the gem country is famous. No wonder the parasite would have the audacity to beat the queen's idea and come all the way here.

If Anrui hadn't killed the Parasite, I wonder if the Parasite would have succeeded......

Counting up, An Rui had dealt with the Queen of the Gem Country indirectly before. At the beginning, the S-class mission he took over from the World Business Alliance was commissioned by the Queen of the Gem Country.

This time, he was finally able to deal with the Queen of the Gem Country face-to-face.

After a few more minutes, an official walked in and asked Anrui to follow him. He claimed that Her Majesty had time now and planned to have a good chat with An Rui about buying the island. An Rui followed the official out of the house. Through the hallway, I came to a large hall.

The area of the main hall is very large, and the ground is paved with stone slabs with spots, and the stone slabs are as smooth as a mirror, and the light can be seen. Officers and soldiers dressed in different attire stood on either side, and several of them looked at Anrui. At the end of the hall was a two-yard stone platform on which an ornate chair sat on which Her Majesty the Majesty of the Queen sit.

Her Majesty's name is Eliza.

She is a tall middle-aged woman of the human race, her skin is very well maintained, and she looks like she is in her early twenties on the surface, but her actual age is far beyond that. Dressed in a well-cut royal robe, she sat on a throne with a crystal crown with sharp edges on her head. In the center of the crown is a jewel the size of an egg.

Under the gaze of many officials, An Rui walked up to Queen Eliza and gave a very gentlemanly salute.

"Overlord Chamber of Commerce...... I have a certain impression of your Chamber of Commerce, and you picked those rainbow flowers for me in the first place. Eliza spoke, her voice serious and high.

"It was an impressive adventure, and the good news was that it paid off." Ann Rui said.

"It seems that your Overlord Chamber of Commerce is doing well, otherwise you wouldn't have come to the Gem Country to buy the island, and the island is not something that anyone can afford. And you're going to buy Red Diamond Island, which is a militarized island, and there is a military fortress on the island that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is even more expensive. ”

"In troubled times, you always need a place to settle down, and I hope that the Overlord Chamber of Commerce can have a place to rest in addition to doing business."

"Red Diamond Island is indeed a good place, strategically located, close to the Endless Sea, far from the core of the Blade Sea, and there are military fortifications on the island, which has the ability to protect itself. But I never said I'd sell this island, it's the island of the Gem Country. ”

"Your Majesty really didn't say that he wanted to sell the island, I came to the door myself to ask for it. But I think Your Majesty's attitude has shown everything, and if you don't want to sell the island, you won't waste time summoning me, right? ”

The queen acquiesced to Anrui's words.

This is indeed the case, if she hadn't been tempted, she wouldn't have summoned An Rui, and she could have let the officials directly refuse.

"Red Diamond Island is going to be expensive." Eliza said.

"I'm rich." An Rui shrugged.

"Then I'll make an offer."

"Listen up."

"Ten million gold coins, give me this money, Red Diamond Island and all the military facilities on the island will be yours, and I will only take the soldiers and sailing ships on the island away. This is a fixed price, refuse to bargain, you can't take out the money, please go back. The queen looked at Anrui condescendingly.

Ten million gold coins, that's an adrenaline-pumping number.

The officers and soldiers in the main hall became short of breath, and they looked at An Rui with burning eyes. Waiting for An Rui's answer.

Ninety percent of these people think that Anrui will not be able to come up with so much money.

Even if you can come up with this money, there is no need to spend so much money to buy an island. This has exceeded the value of the island.

"It's done." Anrui replied happily, "I can pay the money in one lump sum today." ”

……

The Imperial City of Jewel Country, in the lobby of a hotel.

It was night, and the hall was lit with several glass lamps, a fire in the fireplace, and a half-cooked roast chicken on it.

There was a large group of men gathered in the hall, and they sat in different seats. Chat while drinking. The men were all dressed roughly, with weapons on their bodies, and some of them had fierce tattoos. The lights illuminated their faces. One looks more vicious than the other, and many people have scars on their faces.

More than a dozen of the tables were scattered throughout the hall, except for one that was close to the fireplace, and the rest were deliberately distancing themselves from this one. There are drinks and dishes on this table. Far more abundant than the rest of the tables.

There are special people sitting around special tables.

There were four people sitting around the table. One is tall. Dressed in a black robe that envelops his entire body, a silver giant sword of equal height sits behind his back. The firelight reflected on the sword, shining brightly. The people in the room were all vicious, but he was the most vicious of them, and the eyes with layers of black bags were like a pair of lizard eyes, cold and merciless.

The second is an old wizard with a peaked hat and monocles on his eyes. There was a magic rune on his cheeks, flickering and dimming. The third person was a priest, but his cross was not white. It's black. The fourth man was wearing armor, except for his head, which was bareheaded and had a pair of wings tattooed on his head.

The man in the black robe was named Cruise, and he was the leader of this gang of murderers.

They are a group of pirates, called the Demon Soul Pirates, who have been staying in The Pirate Bay before, using the Pirate Bay as a base to burn and loot at sea. After the Pirate Bay was captured by the Sunset Empire, they lost their base, and the situation in the Blade Sea was turbulent, so they became much more honest, and recently they were running around in a boat, looking for a way out in the future.

The Demon Soul Pirate Group has nothing to do with the Gem Country, and has never seized the country's ship, and each other's well water does not interfere with the river water. They don't bother the Gem Country, and the Gem Country doesn't want them. They can walk around here without hindrance - as long as they don't mess around.

"The first time I got into a fight was when I was nine years old, when my brother snatched one of my toys and I was so angry that I whipped him a few times with a red-hot iron bar. He rolled on the ground in pain, screaming like a pig. I was afraid that my father would come back to clean me up, so I fled with my clothes and money, and since then I have embarked on a road of no return. That incident made me understand that life is full of turning points, and a sudden turning point can completely change your life. ”

At this time, Bruce was chatting with several of his right-hand men around him, talking about the past when he was a child.

The door to the hall was suddenly pushed open, and a pirate in charge of guarding the door led in with a mysterious masked man inside.

The mysterious man surveyed the room, his gaze swept over the pirates, his gaze betraying him, and his nervousness. Drops of sweat seeped down his forehead and slid down his skin.

Right now, it's like a chicken breaking into a den.

"Captain, this kid said he had a valuable message to sell to you." The gatekeeper yawned and pushed the masked mystery man.

Cruise put down the wine glass in his hand, glanced at the mysterious man, and frowned, "What's the news?" ”

"He won't tell me, he has to say it to your face." The gatekeeper shrugged.

Cruise turned to look at the mysterious man and said, "Boy, you've seen me, now you can tell me the news." If this news is really valuable, I wouldn't mind rewarding you with a few silver coins. ”

"This news," Mystic said, "is worth more than a few silver coins. ”

"And how much money are you going to exchange this news for?"

"Ten thousand gold coins."

Cruise was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, the laughter that shook the room and made the room tremble. His laughter stopped abruptly, and he grabbed a dagger on the table and threw it at the mysterious man.

The dagger turned into a cold light and flew through the side of the mysterious man's cheek, tearing the mask open.

The mask fell, revealing the mystery man's true face, just an ordinary-looking man with a public face that was hard to remember.

"Ahh There was a scream of exclamation from the faces of the crowd.

"Boy, there's no news in the world worth 10,000 gold coins, it's okay if you have to daydream, don't delay me here. You know, I'm not a very good temper. Cruise said coldly.

"This news is really worth 10,000 gold coins, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come and sell this news to you. Someone has recently made millions of gold coins at once, and the news that I want to sell it has something to do with this. The public's face trembled.

The news is obviously not as enticing as the phrase millions of gold coins.

Cruise became a little interested in this news, his face softened slightly, and said: "Then tell me, what kind of news is this, if it is really worth ten thousand gold coins, I will consider making this deal." ”

"Someone has found a new world, a new world that no one has ever set foot in, full of gold and opportunity, and there are some stupid natives who can be exchanged for gold or even more valuable magic diamonds from the natives with some broken copper and iron." Volkswagen swallowed his saliva, "Give me 10,000 gold coins, and I'll tell you the route to this new continent." (To be continued......)
