Chapter 168: The Rich Man's Game
The kingdom of Scott in the middle of the continent has the Luoyue Mountains in the north and the Misty Lake in the east, but most of its territory is desert. It is in this vast desert that the most popular drug on the continent is bred, Mary Lotus.
Although Marilyn is a drug, it has made many people on the mainland rich, including Chutian, and the Scott Kingdom has also become the largest commercial kingdom on the mainland due to Marilyn and geographical location, Scott's royal city, and it is even called Marilyn City.
Today's Marilyn City is already the largest commercial center on the mainland, where drugs, monsters, slaves, as long as you have money, you can buy everything!
The gathering of the wealthy on the mainland made the already prosperous Marilyn City even more crowded, and now, around Marilyn City, which has no city walls, there are no less than 100,000 guards, as well as more than 100 high-level demonic beasts.
"Haha, it's so funny!" On the streets of Marilyn City, a little goblin pointed to the sky and laughed: "Grandpa, look, I don't know which family's airship is in the sky, and the family crest is simply laughing to death!"
After the grandfather of the little goblin glanced at the sky, he also smiled, three zeppelins were flying in the sky, the gilded hull and iron cable looked extremely luxurious, a wing hovering around, more than 100 griffins showed strong force, but the family badge on the airbag made this team of airships look nondescript.
On the background of three fiery red suns, there is a snow-white and cute puppy lazily lying on his stomach, which is the family crest of the Fladino family!
"Grandpa, is this the family, how do you use a dog as a family crest?" asked the little goblin, raising his head, curious.
"Well, these rich people know how to make these strange things!" sighed the old goblin.
In fact, these two goblins really wronged Chu Tian, and he didn't want to use this kind of embarrassing family crest, but he couldn't stop Xiao Bai Tian from biting his ears every morning, so Young Master Chu had no choice but to succumb to force.
"Alpha Heavy Magic Cannon!?" Lao Di's spirit changed, and he covered his grandson's mouth because he saw the magic cannon dense with airships. "Stop talking nonsense, this family is not something we can afford to mess with. ”
The little goblin broke free of his grandfather's hand, tilted his head, pointed to the magic cannon in the sky and said curiously, "Grandpa, is that the cannon you designed?"
"Be quiet, let's go!" The old goblin saw that someone had noticed him, and hurriedly pulled his grandson and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
.................................................................. In the sky, Chu Tian didn't know how many people his family crest had made laughs, but asked Barbossa with a sad face, "Haven't you found a place to land yet?"
"No, the open space outside the city below is occupied by the guards of other rich people. "Barbossa didn't have a solution. It's been a while since they've been over Marilyn, but there's nowhere to land.
When Chutian was looking for a landing site, a team of flying demonic beasts climbed into the sky from the center of Marilyn City, and then, boom, boom...... A continuous salute rang out.
"Vladino, look, the salute is so beautiful!" Julia took Chutian's hand and pointed out the window and said excitedly.
This time, Chutian participated in the gathering of the rich, and followed the guiding ideology of Reggie not the best, as long as the most expensive, and specially brought three modified Zeppelins, the first was Chutian's boat, and on the second and third ships, there were 3,000 heavily armed archers led by Page, as well as more than 100 griffons borrowed from the Imperial Air Force.
This time, Selena did not follow Chutian, but stayed at home to deal with family affairs, and Moffett and Shaq, a child and a fool, did not conform to Chutian's principle of having face, so they didn't take it, Boeing was requisitioned by the empire, King Kong wanted to watch the family, and he didn't follow, and the rest of the other demonic beasts were all taken by Chutian.
Boom! After the last salute, the team of flying demonic beasts also flew to the wall of Chutian's airship, and immediately after, they pulled up a banner.
"Welcome to the Holy Sacrifice of Vladino?" Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and smiled, it turned out that the salute just now was to welcome him.
Suddenly, a large uninhabited area was cleared out of the originally crowded open space outside the city like a flood, and the team of flying demonic beasts also landed on that area with banners.
In the melodious sound of ceremonial music, Chutian's airship landed.
"Haha, Your Highness Vladino is finally here!"
As soon as Chu Tian stepped off the airship, he found an old man dressed plainly, but with an extraordinary bearing, coming over. And the Duke of Brenda was following behind the old man.
Chu Tian glanced at Duke Brenda suspiciously.
"Hehe, Your Highness, let me introduce you to you. Brenda stepped forward, pointed at the old man with an attitude of respect and admiration, and said, "This is the king of Scott, and the richest man in the mainland, Your Majesty Tony!"
"Praise the goddess of life!" Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and smiled, and then greeted Tony with the most standard and elegant aristocratic etiquette, and at the same time secretly said in his heart: When did Lao Tzu have such a face?
"Hehe, don't call me Your Majesty! Here, I'm just a businessman!" Tony revealed a very comfortable affinity, which made Chu Tian have a great impression of him.
"No, you are the king and deserve this kind of respect!" Chu Tian replied decently as he gave Barbossa a look.
Barbossa gave a crystal box with understanding, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Tony, this is a small gift prepared for you by His Highness Vladino! ”
"Your Highness is too polite. Although Tony accepted it with the same expression, the others behind him all showed greedy looks, the small pill prepared by Vladino himself, it was worth millions of gold coins!
After the greetings, Tony led Chutian into Marilyn City and came to the royal palace of the Scott Kingdom.
As soon as he entered the palace, Chu Tian found that a luxurious banquet had been prepared in the palace, and it seemed that he was waiting for Chu Tian to enter.
Although the banquet was extremely luxuriously arranged, there were very few guests. Instead, the attendants and attendants were busy everywhere.
"Your Highness, please, I'll introduce you to a few friends!" Tony pulled Chu Tian in front of those guests and began to introduce them one by one, and Chu Tian also entertained decently.
Although there were not many guests, after listening to the introduction, Chu Tian still sighed, if anyone released a forbidden spell at the banquet, then the entire continent would thank him.
Don't talk about Tony, all the drugs in the continent go out from him, Brenda and Chutian are not good people, and the other few people don't have a good thing, what slave traders, arms dealers, pirates, gang bosses, everything is linked to crime, it's all here!
Among the crowd, there was only one person worthy of Chu Tian's attention, and that was the sharp-beaked monkey gills, Ziggy who looked like a businessman, because since Chu Tian arrived in the Phantom Beast Continent, he hadn't found any place without the Qige Hotel.
The banquet began in a cheerful and cordial atmosphere, and after entertaining the others, Brenda quietly pulled Chu Tian aside and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, why are you here?"
Although Brenda is the Duke of the Empire and the patriarch of the Pampas family, his position in the Empire is only the Minister of Finance, and nominally speaking, he is still a subordinate of Chu Tian, the right minister, so when Brenda talks to Chu Tian, he is also very respectful.
"Hehe, don't call me Your Highness, Reggie and I are brothers, and I am still your junior. Chu Tian knew in his heart that although Brenda was polite, with the strength that the Pampas family had accumulated over thousands of years, he was not necessarily afraid of himself.
"Well, I'll call you Vladino. Brenda smiled, the investment in Chu Tian back then finally saw the benefits today. However, Brenda immediately frowned slightly, "Did that bastard Reggie persuade you to come?" ”
"What's wrong, shouldn't I come?" Chu Tianqi said, "Reggie said that you can buy a large number of demonic beasts here. ”
"Yes, you can buy Warcraft here!" Brenda raised his glass, saluted around, and after making sure that no one noticed him, he lowered his voice and said, "But you bought Warcraft, and you have to take it back!"
"What are you talking about?" Chu Tian's eyes narrowed, and he asked with a smile: "This is just a gathering of rich businessmen, is there any danger?" Reggie said that this gathering was just to get a crystal card with a higher limit. ”
"On the surface, it is to get a crystal card, but in fact, this is also a place for countries and families to settle their grievances. Brenda said: "It's like our Pampas family, in the past thousand years, we have controlled all the Marilyn trade routes in the east of the continent, even the Scott Kingdom can't intervene, for this, Tony's old guy has long looked at me unpleasantly!"
"Then why are you here?" asked Chu Tian.
"Hehe, how can you make money without taking risks?" Brenda smiled slightly, "I have a lot of enemies and friends here, oh!" Glancing at the arms dealer he had introduced to Chu Tian just now, Brenda smiled and said, "I didn't know him before, but the day before yesterday we negotiated a deal for Warcraft!"
Chu Tian now finally understands what a businessman is, and in order to make money, I'm afraid they will even dare to break into the Forbidden Sea.
"By the way, Vladino, you have to be careful!" Brenda suddenly became serious, "Prince Cassel of the Lacey Empire is also here, and he brought a lot of strong men, you killed hundreds of thousands of Lacey soldiers in the Quarry Fort last time, and you also cheated King Kong from him......"
"I see!" Chu Tian nodded slightly.
"You still have to be careful of that old fellow Tony! He personally greeted you just now, not because of your identity!" Brenda handed Chu Tian a glass of wine and continued: "After the others arrived here, they all set up camp after hiding the family crest and high-level demonic beasts, but after he greeted you just now, everyone knew where you were stationed, and they all saw how many guards you brought!"
Fuck it! Isn't Lao Tzu's family background known? Chu Tian was stunned, Tony was really an old and cunning man, and he unknowingly leaked Chu Tian's details to Kassel's enemies.
"Don't forget, you also have a share of the Marilyn trade route in the East!" Brenda patted Chu Tian on the shoulder and said, "If you and I die, then Tony can sell Marilyn to the East at the highest price!"
"Thank you, Uncle Brenda!" Chu Tian nodded solemnly, "Haha, Your Highness Vladino, come, I'll introduce you to a friend who just arrived!" Suddenly, Tony and another thin and withered middle-aged man walked up to Chu Tian and praised the goddess of life! Chu Tian's eyes narrowed, because, the person next to Tony, his eyes were blood red!
In a trance, Chu Tian remembered the two sentences that Ying had said, the first sentence, put on the curse of death, except for the killer who cultivated the ancient thief technique, no one could assassinate you, and the second sentence, the person who cultivated the ancient thief technique, the eyes were red!
