As a duke's residence, the Duke's Palace of Rhodes is not ornate, but it is definitely large enough, and it looks heavily guarded, like a large castle that served as a military camp.

Grand Duke Rhodes was in the main hall and received Lin Tian and others, which can be said to be quite important!

Seeing Lin Tian, Grand Duke Rhodes was a little surprised by Lin Tian's youth, although Lin Tian was wearing a mask, he could still see that the other party was actually not big.

"Qingyue Trading Company?" Grand Duke Rhodes narrowed his eyes, looked at Lin Tian and asked with a smile, "I just don't know, is the caravan of Count Creyya, who has been active in the royal capital recently, related to your side?"

"The caravan cargo of the Count of Claire is what we provide. Lin Tian smiled slightly and saluted Grand Duke Rhodes.

At this point, there is no need for both sides to conceal it, the goods sold by Lin Tian, with the intelligence unit of Grand Duke Rhodes, can still easily know that there are similar goods for sale in the royal capital, after all, whether it is flour or those weapons and equipment, they all have a strong Warcraft series Terran style, and this style is not something that ordinary forces can imitate.

After receiving Lin Tian's affirmation, Grand Duke Rhodes was also a little relieved, but he knew that in the royal capital, these goods were all hot sellers, and there were even caravans selling these goods to the legendary capital of the empire.

"In that case, let's be honest with each other. Grand Duke Rhodes made up his mind, sat in the first place, and said to Lin Tian: "I need the help of your Qingyue Trading Company, I need your resources. ”

"I want to know, how many resources can your trading company provide to our Glorious City now?" Archduke Rhodes asked the most critical question of supply capacity as soon as he began.

Baron Josh also showed a concerned expression at this time, he really hoped that Lin Tian's shipments would increase significantly.

"I asked for half of the deposit upfront. Under the gaze of Grand Duke Rhodes, Lin Tian calmly promised: "The condition is that we agree to give priority to the supply of the City of Glory, as long as you want, the goods within 1 million gold coins, we can guarantee that they will be sent to you within three days." ”

"1,000,000 gold coins of goods?" Grand Duke Rhodes didn't expect that Lin Tian's appetite would be so big, and it could also arrive in such a fast time as promised at a time like this when the orcs were besieging the city.

In addition, the price offered by Lin Tian was only slightly higher than the market price, which couldn't help but make Grand Duke Rhodes a little wary of the forces behind Lin Tian.

Standing in the position of the Grand Duke of Rhodes, it is difficult to imagine how powerful it would be to carry out such large-scale smuggling under the siege of the orcs.

However, this does not prevent Grand Duke Rhodes from buying Lin Tian's materials, now the situation is stronger than people, and every time there is more food and weapons, there will be more chances to live!

"200,000 bags of grain is enough to support the defenders to defend the city, so let's order this amount of grain first. Archduke Rhodes considered the 100,000 troops he could currently control and spoke.

"No problem. Lin Tian smiled slightly, 200,000 bags of grain, this is 1 million gold coins, but don't worry, this bit of food, Xia City may still be a little insufficient, but it should be enough to mobilize some of it from the granary of Dawn City.

Moreover, the profit of food is only a small part compared to weapons.

Sure enough, after reaching an agreement with Lin Tian on the sale of grain, Grand Duke Rhodes began to talk to Lin Tian about the issue of the arms trade.

In terms of weapons, no matter how arrogant the Grand Duke of Rhodes was, he became cautious because of the price.

After the conversation with Archduke Rhodes set the big framework, the details naturally did not need to be done by the bigwigs, and Lin Tian was invited by Archduke Rhodes to attend tonight's banquet.

As for the specific details, it was Baron Josh and the two Archdukes of Rhodes who appointed the butler and the master Mura to be in charge.

Lin Tian was the first time to officially participate in the aristocratic banquet of this world, but he felt that everything was relatively new.

Although there were groups of orcs outside the city, and there were even more corpses on the city wall today, looking at this gorgeous banquet hall, those noble young people were all smiling and didn't seem to care.

Many bewitching ladies, with their daughters in their respective families, chattered around the Grand Duke of Rhodes, introducing his new adult daughter to him, and at the same time, they also tentatively asked what the identity of Lin Tian, who could be personally accompanied by the Grand Duke of Rhodes, was.

After learning that Lin Tian was a businessman, many nobles first showed disdain, and then after being reminded by others to know the materials that Lin Tian was selling, these nobles immediately changed their faces one by one, and sent their family members to contact Lin Tian.

After Grand Duke Rhodes arranged Lin Tian, he walked up to the front desk to talk to the other nobles.

As for Lin Tian, he was quite curious about the various rare foods at the banquet here, but after eating it, Lin Tian felt that he was desperate for the backward level of catering in this world.

"Tsk, these turtles, what kind of expressions will you show when you eat the bread sold by Uncle Ben?"

"Ah, it turns out that bread can still be so delicious~!

Thinking like this, Lin Tian quickly lost interest in continuing to stay in the banquet hall, and instead walked on the balcony of the banquet hall, breathing in the fresh air of the night and the other world.

Outside the balcony, there is a beautiful garden of purple roses.

This rose, which is called the dark moon ghost, exudes a charming fragrance in the moonlight, which makes people smell it and have a feeling of refreshment, wandering in the chest.

"Lin Gongzi of Qingyue Trading Company, why don't you go to the hall?"

While Lin Tian was enjoying this rare quiet, behind him, a woman wearing a veil and a white backless dress slowly walked over and asked Lin Tian.

"Oh, I'm probably not used to the atmosphere of the banquet. ”

"Giggles, it seems, Lin Gongzi, is different from other businessmen. The woman in the long skirt said this, leaned on the balcony, looked at the sea of flowers in front of her, and said, "By the way, Lin Gongzi, I heard that your Qingyue Trading Company sells weapons, but I don't know, in addition to those standard weapons, is there a better sale?"

"Better?" Lin Tian was slightly stunned, and asked suspiciously, "Madam, what kind of better weapon are you going to buy?"

"You have the weapons. The woman in the long skirt said with some joy in her tone.

"Those?" Lin Tian frowned and asked.

But I saw that under the moonlight, the woman in the long skirt took out a short dagger and put it in front of her.

"Magic weapons!"

Lin Tian took it in his hand and immediately felt that this was the product of the same technique as the young priest who had come from the Wandering Poet, its sharpness was comparable to that of a silver-level weapon, and it also had a fixed spell that sucked blood.

"It's not our Kiyotsuki Trading Company. Lin Tian looked at the short dagger of the woman in the long skirt and said in a low voice: "However, our trading company also has equipment of the same level. ”

"Great, it seems that I did not disappoint me on this trip. A flash of joy flashed in the eyes of the woman in the long skirt, and then she spoke: "Young Master Lin, I hope to order 20 sets of such weapons and equipment." ”

"20 sets?" Lin Tian looked at the woman in the long skirt, silver-level equipment, but he didn't dare to popularize the valuables, this woman actually opened her mouth to ask for 20 sets!

"Well, including the armor and all the weapons that go with it. The woman in the long skirt said, "As for the price, I will definitely be able to give you a satisfactory amount." ”

"I'm afraid that such a set of equipment will require tens of thousands of gold coins. Lin Tian said.

"Tens of thousands, for the sake of victory, even if I go bankrupt, I will not hesitate to do it. The woman in the long skirt said this and handed it to Lin Tian his residence in this glorious city.

Lin Tian was a little surprised when he saw it, this woman in a long skirt actually lived in the mansion of the Grand Duke of Rhodes, and it was also in the VIP area, obviously her status was extraordinary!

After reaching a preliminary intention with the other party, he returned to Shi Mula's side, and Lin Tian learned the identity of the woman in the long skirt from Baron Josh.

That woman was actually a legitimate royal member of the imperial capital of the Human Empire.

Of course, although the woman has the title of a princess, she is not a top figure in the royal family, and her mother is only the daughter of a small city lord, and her background is not deep.

However, at least she has a royal name, which allows her to compete with the younger generation of the royal family and win opportunities.

The imperial family of this world, now called the Felien family, is a great family with a long heritage, and they advocate that their children compete within the scope of control, so every year they organize men and women over the age of 18 in the royal family, let them each lead 20 personal soldiers, participate in various cruel competitions.

The winner will receive rewards such as the ranking of successor qualifications and the tilt of family resources, which is a big event that every child of Fei Lien will not miss.

When Lin Tian heard this, he understood why this princess wanted to order a silver suit for herself.

Speaking of which, in a big place like the imperial capital, Lin Tian believed that there were still divine weapons, and those things should not be worse than his own silver-level weapons, and they might be even higher in terms of sturdiness.

However, the annual output of those things is definitely pitiful, let alone supplying an unappreciated princess.

"This princess is really worthless. Hearing this, Lin Tian shook his head and said.

"Hehe, the imperial capital family has a big business, and there are naturally many children. Baron Josh smiled: "His Majesty Felien, who is now in power, is called a breeding pig by the ministers below, and his greatest achievement is to increase the entire empire by 120 princes and more than 300 princesses. ”

"Poof. Hearing such productivity, Lin Tian was amazed.

"There are 420 of them, this guy...... It's really diligent. The corners of Lin Tian's mouth twitched, and he said with envy and hatred.

"Hehe, this still doesn't count illegitimate children. Baron Josh smiled, "For nobles, illegitimate children are usually twice as much. ”

"Twice?" Lin Tian suddenly felt that this emperor was too happy, and he didn't know if this guy would have time to deal with the government in addition to sowing seeds after he ascended the throne.

"That's right, except for the children of the queen and several powerful concubines, other princesses and princes are not popular in the empire, and Grand Duke Rhodes is to give them courtesy treatment. ”

Speaking of this, Baron Josh obviously thought of something, and he reported to Lin Tian in a good mood: "This time, in addition to reaching a grain deal of 1 million gold coins, we also reached a weapon deal with your subordinates with a total value of 2 million gold coins. ”

"3 million gold coins before and after, hehe, even with the wealth of Archduke Rhodes, this time he also exhausted his family property. Speaking of this, Baron Josh became excited, among them, according to Lin Tian's conditions, he could get a reward of as much as 300,000 gold coins, but it was this reward that made Baron Josh completely biased towards Lin Tian's side during the negotiation.

As for Grand Duke Rhodes, of course they will not be unaware of this, but thinking about it, they will think that Qingyue Shang is a person in society, and he is really here to do business.

After all, in this other world, almost all trading companies are going to buy and sell with the aristocratic forces in this way, if Lin Tian is really stupid to negotiate, then it will surprise these nobles.

After negotiating the terms and getting the deposit, Lin Tian asked Shi Mula to stay for other negotiations, and he went shopping in the black market of the City of Glory accompanied by Baron Josh.

As a black market, this is probably the busiest place in the City of Glory.

Many citizens had to exhaust their wealth to buy food in this place to make ends meet, and Lin Tian believed that a large part of the grain he sold to Grand Duke Rhodes would circulate here, so that Grand Duke Rhodes could have subsequent purchasing power.

Lin Tian exploited Grand Duke Rhodes, and Grand Duke Rhodes exploited the citizens of Glorious City, and this equation can also be established if it is exchanged for other nobles.

The citizens are miserable, many people are full of sadness, and some of the old people are even begging along the streets, but it is a pity that when this kind of orc siege is besieging the city, who can take care of them?

Lin Tian secretly hated that he didn't have a time and space gate, otherwise, if he reached an agreement with Grand Duke Rhodes, wouldn't he be able to recruit a large number of laborers from this city casually?

Even if you are afraid that these laborers will affect the rule of Sia City, and throw them all to the gold mining area, you can still make money.

"Young Master Lin, you see, this is the Treasure Shop in the black market. Baron Josh led Lin Tian into a shop.

"Young master, now is the best time to buy collectibles, now both nobles and rich people are short of food and money, many of them have put their treasures on this sale, and the price will be quite low. ”

"Oh?" Lin Tian walked in and saw rows of artworks.

It's a pity that Lin Tian had no interest in these bronzes and glass products, and quickly walked away.

Jumbo Fang thought that there was a high roller, and the clerk personally received Lin Tian and introduced him to all kinds of precious oil paintings on the wall, although Lin Tian couldn't understand those oil paintings that were already a bit similar to abstraction, but the clerk was the head of the explanation.

The focus is on these oil paintings, it is said that each of them has been auctioned at a high price, is a symbol of art, and now the auction price is lower and sold, if anyone thinks that this is not profitable, then it must be, just don't understand art, it is a nouveau riche, it is a turtle!

Originally, in the many years of experience in the Treasure Workshop, those big businessmen hated others saying that they didn't understand art, as soon as they heard that this painting could really be auctioned for a high price, and then a big hat was put on, the other party would be tempted to buy it, but they didn't know that Lin Tian didn't plan to participate in the art speculation competition in another world at all, and after determining that these paintings could not provide him with a large amount of gold coins, and at the same time could not improve his strength, he simply ignored them.

Walking to the second layer, which was also the last layer of this treasure shop, Lin Tian stopped, because he suddenly noticed that in this Tibetan area, there were items flowing with divine power!

"It's ...... Tortoise shells?" Lin Tian came to an exhibition stand, and when he saw those tortoise shell pieces that exuded very weak divine power, he whispered.

"Young Master Lin, this is a prop used by wizards in the imperial capital for divination a long time ago, and it is composed of a set of 81 such turtle pieces. Baron Josh said: "These things were excavated in a royal secret arena in the imperial capital, and after a prince lost the election, he quietly auctioned off these turtle pieces, and this is why these things have been brought to our glorious city." ”

"Oh, is this thing, a lot?" Lin Tian's eyes flashed with joy, and he felt that he had found a treasure.

"It's not much, but at least there are seven or eight sets in circulation in the empire. Baron Josh recalled: "It is still very valuable as a collection, after all, it is a product of the glory days of our human empire, but it is a pity that the great Highness Carlos is tired of the arrogance and selfishness of mankind." ”

"Alas. ”

Speaking of this sad thing for all mankind, even a nobleman like Baron Josh is not exempt from vulgarity.

Lin Tian asked people to pack and buy these turtle pieces, and at the same time, he had a plan in his heart.

Since this is what kind of royal arena was found, there are more treasures hidden in it and more divine power, these people may not recognize it, but they are the spokesmen of the gods, and they can absorb it!

"Maybe, my hope of quickly raising the level of divine power is in the human imperial capital!"

"However, you must be cautious, and you must plan well before you can act!" Lin Tian said secretly: "It's best to have a normal identity and go to the royal arena." ”

After learning that Lin Tian had bought the turtle slices, the Grand Duke of Rhodes took advantage of the night to give Lin Tian several turtle slices collected in his mansion.

After Lin Tian thanked Grand Duke Rhodes for his kindness, he began to absorb the divine power on these turtle pieces.

The small seven turtle pieces actually provided as much as 700 points of divine power, which made Lin Tian feel surprised.

"Master, it seems that we need to lay out the imperial capital in advance. Shi Mula said in a low voice.

"Well, however, we must be cautious, careful, I believe that in the imperial capital, we are not the only spokesperson who is active. Thinking of that magic weapon, Lin Tian said in a low voice.

"Then, I'll go over this matter personally, right?" Shi Mula looked at Lin Tiandao and said, "Grand Duke Rhodes's side has already been dealt with, as long as we deliver the materials he needs within three days, everything else will be on the right track." ”

"Naturally, in fact, I have built twelve blacksmith shops in the city of Chia to meet the needs of production. Lin Tian said firmly: "I want to use the amazing productivity of the game building to gather strength, so that I can defeat all the opponents in front of me!"
