Chapter 793: Earned!
Gervais arrives in the early morning of the fourth day of the City of Hope.
Today, the outer city of the City of Hope is business as usual, and the civilians are still living a toiling life day after day.
But the situation in the inner city is completely different, and today the main road in the inner city is full of traffic, and there are fleets of luxurious convoys in the past.
These luxury carriages departed from their respective estates and headed in surprisingly the same direction.
Today is the day when Gervais agrees to start selling wine and magic potions.
In order to give the Holy City forces enough time to prepare the gold, Gvestre gave them four days.
Early in the morning, there were twenty direct guards riding lava monitor lizards at the gate of Winton Manor, divided into two rows.
Thomas, the butler, waited for the guests at the gate with more than a dozen male servants.
"The representative of the city in the sky - Count Silas has arrived!"
As a carriage at the front of the street arrived at the gate of the manor, Thomas immediately identified the person from the emblem of the carriage.
He immediately shouted at the top of his voice, and then quickly led several male servants to the door of the carriage with copper plates and towels.
"Lord Silas, welcome to Wynton Manor!"
When the carriage door opened, Thomas bowed respectfully and greeted Silas.
Several of the manservants quickly brought warm wet towels and respectfully handed them to Silas.
"Haha! It turned out to be Butler Thomas, how could there still be such a formation! That's too polite! ”
Silas is a distant uncle of Adella, and as the representative of Sky City stationed in the City of Hope, his status is naturally not low.
But for Gervais, Silas didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
Gervais is not only friendly with Edward, but also an ally of Sky City, and the name of the magical potion dispenser, the mentor of Wherton, and the father of the spiritual power of magicians is not to be taken lightly.
The most important Gervais is still the famous God of Killing, and even the Duke of Hulton of the Golden Shield Family was beaten into a dirt dog by him, so as soon as Silas got out of the car, it was just Thomas who came to greet him, and he gave enough face and did not put on a show at all.
"Count Silas! Sky City is our best ally in Stormwind, and you are my master's most honored guest! The number of etiquette must be in place, and you can't be neglected! ”
Although Thomas came to the City of Hope for the first time, as a nimble butler, after understanding the general information, he was able to receive guests with ease, and immediately respectfully praised Silas.
Then Thomas stretched out his arm and made a gesture of please: "Count Silas, please inside!" ”
Silas said no more, and walked towards the manor, led by two servants.
When Silas was gone, another group of carts and horses came from behind and stopped at the gate of the manor.
"Representative of Heca Holy City, Count Bolton has arrived!"
It has to be said that Thomas worked hard, just gave a simple gift, he wrote down the family badges and the names of the representatives, and at this time greeted the guests without mistake read the identity of the person who came and the family to which he belonged.
Next, at the gate of Winton Manor, representatives of the Holy City forces arrived one after another, and a total of 107 Holy Cities sent people to come after half an hour, but the Golden Shield Family did not receive an invitation.
Even the allies of the Golden Shield family came after receiving the invitation, because they really couldn't resist the temptation of 10,000 gold coins and a magic potion.
When all these representatives of the Holy City arrived, the atmosphere in the manor became more and more enthusiastic.
At this time, on the square outside the small building of the manor, representatives of the Holy City were chatting in groups, although they had been waiting for a while, but everyone did not get anxious.
Because there are many long tables around the square, on which a lot of food and wine are placed.
In particular, the wine is still wine, and the representatives of the Holy City are holding silver cups in their hands and are constantly tasting it.
If possible, they would prefer to spend the whole day in the square, for wine could not be as indulgent as it was in other places, even if they were rich.
"It should be almost!"
Gervais stood in front of the window of the small building, looking at the representatives of the Holy City below who had already drunk a lot of wine, and finally decided to appear.
"Lord of Gervais!"
"Lord of Gervais!"
When Gervais walked out of the gate of the small building, the representatives of the Holy City immediately spotted him, and immediately saluted him respectfully in order to come up.
Gervais smiled and nodded to the delegates, and then went directly to the high platform in front of the square.
"It's an honor for your Excellencies to come to the manor today, I just didn't come out to entertain you because of some personal matters, please don't blame you!"
Gervais came to the stage and bowed politely to the crowd before opening his mouth to apologize.
"Haha! The city lord of Gervais laughed! We also need the generous hospitality of Lord Gervais! ”
The delegates below were naturally unimpressed, and many of them had already drunk and turned a little red.
"Then I won't delay any longer! Let's start today's sale! First, let's sell magic potions! ”
"Lord of Gervais! We, in the Holy City of Carodo, want to buy five strengthening potions and two psychic potions! ”
"Lord Gervais, we, in the Holy City of Boton, want to buy six strengthening potions and three spiritual power potions!"
"Lord Gervais, we in Heka Holy City want to buy three ...... enhancements"
Gervais's words fell, but the delegates immediately began to shout, the magic potion was the most important purpose of the day.
And because the potion is surprisingly cheap, this makes the delegates wonder if there will be no chance for those who are slow to buy it because the quantity is not enough.
Seeing this, Gervais still had a smile on his face, and waved his hand at everyone.
"Everyone, I know what you're worried about, but it's completely unnecessary for you to worry about this, because in order to make the overall strength of the Holy Alliance to a higher level, this time the magic potion reserve is absolutely sufficient!"
Gervais immediately opened his mouth to dispel everyone's concerns, and after speaking, he waved his hand to Thomas not far away.
Soon twenty direct guards led by Thomas walked out of the gate of the small building, each of them carrying a large box slowly to the high platform, and then carefully placed the box on the ground.
At this time, a representative had already guessed what the boxes contained, and they all held their breath and stared closely.
Smack!
The next moment, twenty soldiers of the direct guard opened the boxes directly in front of the representatives of the Holy City.
The magical potion in the box, which looked like a colored crystal pillar, was presented to everyone without reservation.
"Shhh So much! ”
"What a tempting treasure!
The representatives of the Holy City only felt their breath suffocate when they looked at the contents of the wooden box.
Each of these chests was separated by small squares, and there were at least dozens of potions inside.
This is too far from the scene when there were only five or six sticks in each auction, so that the representatives of the Holy City no longer have to worry about the lack of potions.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the magic potion I prepared this time! A total of 1,000 pills, including 700 body strengthening potions and 300 mental power increasing potions! ”
"So, you don't have to worry about not being able to buy potions, so let's ask my butler Thomas to complete the next transaction with you!"
With that, Gervais walked to the side of the high platform, picked up the wine he had prepared for himself, and looked down.
"Distinguished guests, these magic potions are 10,000 gold coins, and now please come to me to trade!"
Next, representatives of the Holy City flocked to Thomas on the edge of the platform, scrambling to buy the magic potion.
In such a lively rush to buy, the number of purchases originally booked by many Holy Cities was only four or five, but after seeing the purchase quantity of other Holy Cities, they immediately gritted their teeth and increased the number of their own purchases
And as the orders were completed one by one, these representatives of the Holy City sent boxes of gold coins to the high platform.
In just half an hour, more than 800 gold coin boxes were stacked on the high platform of Gervais!
The size of these chests is uniform, and the gold coins in one box are equal to about 10,000.
Naturally, Gervais couldn't count them one by one, but after asking the guards to open the box to confirm the authenticity, they all carried them into the small building.
Overall, the number of potions sold this time not only met Gervais's expectations, but even exceeded the quota by a lot.
Originally, Gervais estimated that these holy cities could buy more than 600 potions, but now there are more than 200 of them.
Of course, this has something to do with the layout of Glovester.
For example, he deliberately set up the square as if it were a banquet, and even provided free wine for everyone to drink, and then began to sell it after all the delegates gathered.
He did this to provoke everyone's desire to buy it, although the representatives of the Holy City were all old and cunning people, but with the urge of alcohol, plus the impact of thousands of potions in front of them, these prompted them to buy as many as possible.
"Thank you to the Holy Cities for their recognition of the magic potion! I wish you all the best in the Holy City after using my potion! ”
"Moreover, these two magical potions will be available for a long time in the future, if you want to buy them, you can directly send someone to buy them in St. Ann's City in the Godfall Land, and I will tell you the specific location of St. Ann's City later!"
"Now that the miracle potion is over, we now have the time to sell the wine, which is of great interest to you."
Because he had earned more than eight million gold coins, Gervais's smile became brighter and brighter at this time.
After the guards had carried away the wooden boxes in the field, he put down his glass and stood in front of the platform again and began to speak.
"I won't explain too much about the deliciousness of wine! Let me tell you about the price of wine! ”
"There are two kinds of wine, a pot of 50 gold coins for ordinary wine, and a pot of 200 gold coins for potion treasure wine! There are 25 jugs per barrel of wine! ”
"Delegates, because the amount of wine is still small this time, each family is limited to ten barrels! One of the rare wines can only be purchased in one barrel! ”
"But rest assured, in a few months, the wine will be ready to drink, and you will be guaranteed to have delicious wine every day."
"Now, if you want to buy wine, you can just ask Thomas to order!"
With that, Gervais handed over the sale to Thomas.
And the representatives are even more generous about buying this wine.
In just ten minutes, Thomas had registered the number of wines purchased in all the Holy City.
This time, the one hundred and seven holy cities, without exception, all bought ten barrels, but because of the limited number of potions treasures, each family could only buy one barrel.
The total amount of gold coins sold for wine reached 1.7 million.
Although the amount of wine sold is as much as four times higher than that of a potion, the cost of the wine is lower than that of a potion, the audience is wider, and it can be sold once every two or three months.
It is conceivable that with such a source of wealth, the rise of Stormwind City in the future is just around the corner.
Of course, Gervais has not received the gold coins of the wine for the time being, and he will not pay for the wine until it is delivered to these holy city stations.
In fact, if Gervais hadn't done this, perhaps some Holy Cities would not have been able to buy enough ten barrels of wine.
Because Gervais's previous sale of magical potions had already caused many representatives of the Holy City to empty the gold coins they had prepared.
But when Thomas said that it could be delivered to the door, and then the gold coins would be paid, the delegates did not have any pressure to buy ten barrels.
A barrel of rare wine and nine barrels of ordinary wine were only 16,000 gold coins, and if they didn't drink them after buying them, they could definitely earn a double or two as much as they could sell them to their respective holy cities and sell them to the upper class when the time came.
No matter how bad it is, they can drink half and sell half of it, and they can drink the wine 'for free'.
And as long as the supply of wine is not sufficient to satisfy the entire Holy Alliance, then they can continue to do so 'free' to enjoy wine.
Of course, none of this is about Gervais, he doesn't have a network like the Holy Merchant House for the time being, and he is all over the Holy Alliance.
……
"Thomas! You've done a great job today! ”
In the hall of the small building, Gervais sat on the sofa with a wine glass in his hand, while Thomas also stood respectfully in front of him, also holding a silver glass in his hand.
The sale of wine and magic potions has come to an end, and Gervais has made a fortune.
Those Holy City forces also got what they wanted, and all the Holy City representatives left satisfied.
For this he called Thomas to praise him as a wonderful butler, and gave him a glass of fine wine to drink with him.
"This is the master, your wise command is crucial, without you, the villain will definitely not be able to complete today's things perfectly!"
Familiar tastes, familiar Thomas sycophants rang out in the hall.
"Well, since you say that, it's my credit! Originally, I wanted to reward you with a Warcraft mount when I got back, but it seems that this reward can be saved! ”
Gervais nodded abruptly and said to Thomas.
"Uh......!"
Thomas was originally proud of his skilled horses, but he didn't expect to welcome Gervais, and suddenly felt that he had missed the opportunity of his life, and he was stunned!
"The hosts! This one...... That one...... In fact, the villain may have a little bit of credit......"
Thomas whispered to Gervais with a pained face. ,
"Haha! Alright, put away your pained expression! I'll reward you with a monster mount when I return to St. Ann's this time! ”
Gervais was amused by Thomas's expression and immediately stopped entertaining him.
"Yes, thank you, master, you are the eagle of the sky, the greatest and wisest master......"
