"I'm sure," he pouted, motioning his brother to look back at the "goods" in the barrel at his feet—a guy wearing a brown-and-brown worker's coat covered in patches and gray stains, and the "goods" were in a physical fainting at this time for the sake of transportation safety, "this kid's aristocratic status is two generations up at most, and his grandfather's generation must have been a commoner." You see how he looks in this outfit, how appropriate and how appropriate, hehe. ”

Normally, at this time, One-Eye would always use the word "grandpa" that he said crookedly, and make a derogatory use of the noble mage. However, this time he rarely ignored his brother's quip, and instead asked himself a little solemnly: "If we do this, we can be regarded as betraying the Obsidian Council, if the dragon Pasha does not take us in, then there will really be no way back." ”

The crooked mouth was silent for a moment, and he stepped on the barrel under his feet with his foot. "The key is to see if this meeting gift is in line with the heart of the Excellency. As if sensing the negativity in his words, the sand bandit-born mage cheered up his brother and said, "It's not a big deal, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Besides, a lot of good things were found from this kid, even if he had to run for his life, he could last for a few years. ”

The two of you say a word, I say a word, and talk to each other about the future plan. From time to time, they also use physical means to keep the transportation of vehicles towed by four-wheeled camels safe. All in all, One-Eyed and Crooked Mouth smoothly brought the noble mage belonging to the Obsidian Council to Quest.

"You seem to be a little scared, and that's fine, please keep that up. The trembling that appeared on the two sand bandit illusion mages and the young blue dragon who turned into a human form was very satisfied, "If it's pretended, then please keep it up." ”

In fact, Quisi didn't really care if the two were really afraid of him. Some may think that this is due to the pride of the dragon, but in fact it is the pragmatism of the young blue dragon - as a ruler, he knows very well that persuasion must be used and not always forced to submit, and the ruler must be the best coffee maker and attract the best talent.

Of course, there are many types of means of persuasion. It can be magical or physical, but Quest prefers to convince others with facts.

"The naked man has few secrets, and the flesh-bare man has no secrets. Standing in the dungeon, Quest explained to the two brothers what the steampunk half-lich was doing. Hearing Quest's words, Sneijder wielded the mechanical prosthetic body and shook his index finger at his employer, meaning "more than that".

Well, let's start by casting our perspective on our surroundings.

This is the basement of the Half-Lich's Great Tomb-like Laboratory (the former Consulate of Nome), an ice cellar that was originally used to store ice cubes has been converted into a dungeon. Years of pent-up cold make this place exceptionally cold and damp, and with the presence of a powerful undead leader, the entire dungeon becomes even more ghostly.

There is no doubt that Snead is well versed in the essence of the art of drow elven torture. In the dungeon he personally arranged, everything around him seemed to constantly amplify the senses of the tortured, and every pain would be more three-dimensional and profound.

Under the effect of special incense, the commissioner of the Obsidian Council soon woke up. However, the headache left by the physical stunning methods used by the one-eyed and crooked mouth brothers still haunted him, and the young mage couldn't help but let out a painful moan.

After two sharp breaths of air, he was about to open his eyes when another incense triggered another reaction: his eyelids were subconsciously affected and closed again, and he fell into a state of free consciousness. Concentrate your mind diligently...... Dilate arterial blood vessels...... Get rid of all distractions...... Only the part of consciousness that I choose remains...... The blood becomes full and flows rapidly to the overloaded area......

This is a form of meditation that all mages learn, and it helps human mages to transcend the senses of beasts and touch the deep experience on a sensual level. In the process of learning spells, consolidating the memory of spells in a meditative state often has a good effect, because humans are more sensitive at this time.

"Ahh

The half-lich didn't even push the gargoyle servants too hard, and the whip only left a shallow trail of blood on the young mage who had been stripped into a bare pig, and the other party involuntarily let out a low roar of pain. Due to the confinement of the meditative state, the pain caused by the wound is magnified several times, and the torture is constantly tormented.

In the perception of ordinary people, the process of punishment is interspersed with torture in most cases, but the young mage at this time has not been questioned at all. The torture of the drow elves is to ensure that after destroying every ounce of resistance of the victim, the other party willingly tells everything he has experienced since his birth.

Needless to say, by all accounts, the commissioners of the Obsidian Council are far from a "tough guy". Even before the gargoyle had warmed up, and the number of whips had not even exceeded single digits, the young mage had completely given up his resistance.

As the enchanted torture instrument that bound him changed from crimson to dark green, a symbol of obedience, the torture began to be one-sided. Splashed on his body by a stab of ice water mixture, the tortured person shuddered and slowly woke up.

"Hurry up and tell me honestly," the gargoyle executioner tightened his whip and made a "pop" sound, "If you dare to hide something, don't think about getting out alive!"

"You ask!" said the young mage, crying without tears.

After some torture, Quest basically figured out the reason why the Obsidian Council was targeting him:

First, it is indeed related to the fact that he cut the leeks of the Egu family before. The swift decision of the young blue dragon to ban a noble family caught everyone by surprise, and some even wondered if there was a pharaoh or the Great Vishur behind it;

Second, after forcing the U-sang to sign a pact of defeat, the Great Veishur ceased all official activities. There is a suspicion that the strongest mage of Medici has been seriously injured and needs to recuperate. Therefore, the Obsidian Council chose this moment to start cracking down on various forces related to the Great Vishur.

Sure enough, it was "people sitting at home, and the pot came from the sky", the young blue dragon couldn't help but secretly gritted his teeth and thought. Including those Usang people and the blue-footed dragon snake sent by them, this was the third time he had eaten the melon of the Great Veil.

If it weren't for the Pasha title on his head now, it would be of great benefit to his future plans. Quest even thought of flying above the mansion of David in Beit City and giving him a "super electromagnetic cannon".

It's just not the right time yet. You have to wait until the Flying Behemoth is created, at least until the Buying and Fighting Conference in Nome City is successfully completed, otherwise the previous efforts will be in vain. Quis kept admonishing himself.

......

In an apartment in Nome City, two brothers, One-Eyed and Crooked-Mouthed, are nervously busy.

Not the worst-case scenario they had assumed, in fact, the treatment Quest gave was even better than they had ever expected.

Not only did the two brothers receive advanced learning materials in the field of illusion, but even in the field of transfiguration spells, they were also enlightened and instructed by the strange-looking spell advisor of the dragon Pasha.

And in exchange, One-Eyed and Crooked Mouth have to exchange their work for payment. In the eyes of the two brothers, this kind of treatment could not be more satisfying. As a result, they work very hard.

After another two days, more merchants came to Nome City to participate in the buying meeting. Following the model of the Dragon's Clan town, Quis divided into booths in the already formed super bazaar, and some merchants who had paid taxes began to settle in it.

Until the first "buy and flutter" trade kicked off. In front of many merchants, Santos of the Sand Rhino Caravan personally smashed the narrow-mouthed clay pot containing the quotation scrolls of the various competing camel farms, and announced that the Kumat farm, which was only about three-fifths of the market price, would become the caravan's franchisee supplier for camels in the next two years, and the atmosphere of this business event began to ignite!

There was no way for the merchants not to be excited, especially when they witnessed the half of the deposit paid by the Sand Rhino Caravan in public, a total of fifteen thousand silver Kates, glittering in the blazing sun.

This was just the beginning, as the bulk of goods purchased by the dragon Pasha, such as steel, minerals, grain, stone, weapons and armor, caused a stir among the merchants every time the money was handed over.

Fortunately, there is a large group of elite warriors transferred from the Dragon Clan, who are stubborn and stubborn to maintain the order of the Super Bazaar in Nome City, so they have not caused other unnecessary troubles.

After the agreement was reached, businessmen like Kumat did not leave immediately. They are all gathering their peers, holding banquets to celebrate, and discussing small-scale "buying" business.

In fact, before the agreement was made, the shrewd businessmen weighed the size of their own business. In Kumat's farm, he does not have the ability to deliver more than 100 sand rhinoceros at one time. But the reason why he still dared to quote was because he could "subcontract" part of the agreement again after the middle of the agreement, and the total amount could be made up before the final delivery.

In this way, the wealth collected by Quest from the Egu family flowed out like water, and in just a few days, hundreds of thousands of silver kai flowed into the pockets of hundreds of big merchants and many more small merchants.

However, this was exactly what the young blue dragon intended, and with the wealth in his hands, he leveraged the merchants from all over Medici to concentrate their goods on Nome City. The trade routes, which had been closed for months, began to be reopened.

At the same time, as more and more merchants are stranded in Nome, one of the tasks that One-Eye and Crooked Mouth are responsible for is also getting done.
