Chapter 256: Recruiting New Members (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )
The old man named Malediz, who was a high-ranking member of the Imperial military, participated in the Second Overseas Landing.
After the war, he has made many meritorious deeds.
After retiring from the army, the old man was awarded the title of honorary marquis, which can be called the first-class among the upper echelons of the imperial elite.
At the same time, he was also the top boss of Pompey and Siebert, and during the war, he valued them quite highly.
It's just that because of a war at that time, Pompey and Siebert had a disagreement, which finally led to the two who were originally comrades-in-arms turning against each other directly, and they never got along.
This time, it was because of the granddaughter of Mr. Malediz, Miss Ruiyin, who had some physical conditions and asked for help from them, which made the two meet again after many years.
"Hmm...... Forget it, Pompeii. ”
Malediz said slowly, shaking his head.
"General, although I hate Pompeii, I have to say that I also know this young man in his mouth...... Mr. Jack is indeed very talented, why don't you let him try, maybe ......"
Siebert said in a deep voice under Pompey's surprised eyes.
But before he could finish his sentence, he was stopped by Malediz raising his hand.
"Well, no more talk. It's not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't trust the young man named Jack...... The problem on Xiao Ruiyin's body touches on the mystery, and it is not an ordinary incurable disease.
And I've found a cure, and that's what we're here for today, isn't it? ”
Pompeii and Siebert looked regretful, but eventually nodded.
Since the old boss disagreed, there was no way.
They were only responsible for making the idea, and it was Mahlerdiz himself who really made the decision. After all, it is about the granddaughter of the old boss's favorite, and if you are cautious, they can understand.
"Five hundred and sixty gold pounds."
The man who was bidding with Chen Lun once again raised the sign and cast a warning look at the same time.
Chen Lun smiled slightly.
"Six hundred gold pounds."
Ping's words were like those powerful people who had just bid for the auction, and they didn't take this money in their eyes at all.
The man was a little annoyed, but he still gritted his teeth and raised his card.
"Six hundred and ten gold pounds!"
He was just an ordinary wild transcendent, and it was all due to luck that he stepped into the mysterious realm.
Most of the money used for bidding is the inheritance of the family, which has always supported him to stumble forward, but more than 600 gold pounds has almost reached his limit.
This made him anxious.
He was bound to get the lot, as he had been stagnant in Sequence 9 for many years, and had recently encountered danger and was being followed by a mysterious person.
He was in dire need of subsequent transcendent knowledge in order to be promoted.
But now......
"Six hundred and fifty gold pounds."
Chen Lun was too lazy to add ten gold pounds slowly, and directly raised the price by a notch.
The man who was bidding with him clenched his teeth, raised the sign with a slight tremble, and looked at Chen Lun's eyes, which also turned from anger to a trace of pleading.
"Six hundred and sixty gold pounds ......"
His mouth opened and closed slightly, and he silently said the words "Please" to Chen Lun.
Chen Lun saw it clearly, but was indifferent.
"Seven hundred gold pounds."
He raised the price again.
This time, the man was finally defeated, and sat down in his chair dejectedly, weak. The feeling of despair and anguish even surprised the two VIPs next to them.
They couldn't understand why they were so disappointed that it was just a book.
The other guests didn't seem to have much interest in the book and didn't mix it up, and finally the host struck three times with a small mallet in his hand to announce that "Keyhole" belonged to Chen Lun.
In fact, this book is already a bit of a premium, and according to the extraordinary knowledge of General Sequence 8, the price only fluctuates in five or six hundred gold pounds...... However, the auction will indeed be much higher than the market price. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
He glanced at it casually and noticed that the man who hadn't photographed the mysterious book had left the scene lonely. With heavy footsteps, he walked outside.
Chen Lun thought for a moment and beckoned to a waiter beside him.
The waiter bent down, and Chen Lun whispered a few words in his ear.
The waiter nodded and chased after the man.
After stopping it, after some exchange, the man turned his head to look at Chen Lun, showing a surprised expression.
At the same time, the other party's eyes were full of hope.
'It's a supernatural force after all, and if you can buy it with a piece of knowledge, it's a good choice...... The future of the circus is a long way to go. ’
Chen Lun shook his head slightly.
He asked the waiter to convey a message, that is, the transcendent knowledge of [Sequence 8 - The Locksmith] was able to give the man a copy, but with conditions.
If you are interested, you can wait for a detailed discussion after the meeting.
"The next lot is a mysterious material, its name is 'Sunset Chrysanthemum', which is rich in fragrance and exuberant medicinal power. If it is blended with special techniques, it can even make a 'cure-all' and cure various diseases. ”
The presenter, Yuri, described a small tube of clear liquid in his hand in a very seductive tone.
"According to the client's requirements, the starting price is two hundred gold pounds, and each increase is not less than five gold pounds."
Chen Lun smiled dumbly.
The moderator's words were clearly misleading.
Because many extraordinary materials can be used to concoct potions to cure diseases, not the sunset chrysanthemum. But these ordinary people don't know, even if they are in high positions and have power and wealth in their hands, most of them only know a little about the things in the mysterious realm.
And even if it's a blend, it needs the transcendent of the relevant sequence.
Not everyone can concoct extraordinary potions.
Sure enough, the guests in the audience were interested.
"Two hundred and one gold pounds."
"Two hundred and ten gold pounds!"
"Two hundred and twenty pounds."
"Two hundred and fifty gold pounds......
“……”
The fierce bidding began, which made Chen Lun secretly shake his head.
I just came to buy a ceremony material, but I didn't expect to encounter such a situation.
Even if these ordinary magnates photographed this material, it was actually useless, and they were purely aroused by the host's desire.
'It looks like it's going to cost you a lot of money......
Chen Lun thought expressionlessly.
"Five hundred gold pounds."
At this moment, an old voice came from the corner.
Chen Lun looked at the old man who was with Pompeii Sibert.
"Five hundred and one gold pounds!"
"Five hundred and twenty gold pounds."
"Five hundred and thirty gold pounds!"
The sound of bidding has not stopped, and it is still ringing.
The old man's deep voice said again:
"A thousand gold pounds."
This time, it was a little quieter.
Chen Lun frowned slightly.
'This price has been several times higher......
He didn't quite understand why the old man was so obsessed with "Sunset Julu", and he hadn't seen the other party bid for other things before.
It can be seen that the old man came for this thing.
Consistent with your own purpose.
"Twelve hundred gold pounds."
Chen Lun tentatively held up the sign.
Everyone present no longer bids, and they are obviously reluctant to spend so much money to buy a so-called "panacea" material.
Although they have money, they are not stupid enough not to take money seriously.
"Fifteen hundred gold pounds."
The old man glanced at Chen Lun this time.
Seeing that the other party was so strong, Chen Lun didn't plan to continue to spend time with him.
Silently put down the sign.
He has a hunch that if he increases the price, the other party will definitely follow up. If it goes on like this, it will be endless, and there is no need to spend so much unjust money for a sunset chrysanthemum.
Chen Lun remembered Rosa's reply before, all the sunset chrysanthemums in the inventory of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce had been bought by an old nobleman in Huangtie City.
tomato
'This old man, maybe it's the old nobleman who emptied the Chamber of Commerce's inventory. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
If it's really him, then I should have stocked up on a lot of sunset chrysanthemum, and when the venue is over, go and talk to him...... With Viscount Pompeii and Monsieur Siebert in the middle, you should be able to try to fight for it and sell me a copy. ’
After he gave up the bid, Sunset Julu fell into the hands of the old man.
There was nothing outstanding in the subsequent lots, so Chen Lun simply left the venue and went outside.
In a remote corner on the third floor of the mall, he found the man waiting there.
"Sir! Is what you told me true? ”
The man looked excited.
Chen Lun nodded and chuckled.
"If you are willing to agree to my terms, I can give you a copy of the transcendent knowledge of [Sequence 8 - The Lockpick] for free."
The man was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed tangle and struggle.
He understands that knowledge of such great value must be extremely harsh if he says he will send it.
"Sir, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Morey."
The man took a deep breath, calmed down, and stretched out his hand.
Chen Lun shook hands with him briefly and said:
"Jack."
"Mr. Jack, what are the conditions you are talking about......?"
"Join my team and work for me."
Chen Lun said very directly.
The other party was just a Sequence 9 transcendent, recruiting him, but it was only a temporary idea, and Chen Lun didn't want to spend too much energy on this matter.
Morey didn't seem surprised by this, but after a few seconds of silence he asked:
"Excuse me...... Who is your team? ”
"An extraordinary organization, with few people at the moment, but they are all partners who trust each other...... However, a temporary member like you needs to sign a contract with me. ”
Chen Lun explained.
"Sorry, this is just an insurance measure, I need to be responsible for the other members."
Morey's eyes were even more tangled, and he rubbed his hands together on his face, looking extremely struggling.
"Don't rush to make a decision, I can give you a little time to think about it...... When the venue is over, I'll stay for another hour. ”
Chen Lun said.
Morey took a deep breath and said suddenly:
"Mr. Jack, no...... Don't wait any longer, I'm willing to join your team and serve you. But could you please do me a favor ......? That's one of the reasons why I'm so hungry for transcendent knowledge. ”
"Oh? Let's hear it. ”
Chen Lun asked with interest.
"Help me kill someone!"
Morey swallowed and said in a deep voice.
