Chapter 44: Brothers' Reunion, Harming Others and Benefiting Themselves (Seeking Follow-up)
Byron was not surprised to see this acquaintance, and he had already expected it when he walked into the Palme d'Or trading company.
But, money speaks, and truth is silent.
It just so happens that he has money!
Like a wealthy nouveau riche, Byron waved his hand and struck first:
"The forbidden ritual I'm going to perform is just four transcendent materials.
Isn't it 3,200 pounds? I want them all. ”
He certainly doesn't want everyone here, but you must never reveal your true thoughts when it comes to business negotiations, especially the most pressing needs.
There is absolutely no positive effect other than being manipulated.
This is too important to succeed and not fail!
Whether it is being pinched by competitors or merchants, it is definitely not what Byron wants to see.
Hearing this, [Woodpecker] Maltz immediately became anxious, and could no longer care about the anger of being offended, and jumped to his feet and shouted:
"No, I came first, and all these people must be mine! I... I added £3300. ”
These privateer captains have all come with a mission, and they know that something big is about to happen in Iron Anchor Bay, and they are all working hard to improve their strength.
The principle of his [Queen Blessing] is very simple, that is, to use the host's body to cultivate blood tapeworms, and the stronger the host, the more powerful the cultivated tapeworm offspring.
He does not dislike the old, weak, sick and disabled transcendents.
As long as they use their bodies as hosts to raise tapeworm larvae, they can quickly create several powerful crew members like monsters.
So that he can shine in this operation.
And two days ago, they received a message from the [White Crystal], which is also a privateer.
Captain [Magic Mirror] West disappeared for no apparent reason after discovering the trace of the [Demon Child].
The other privateer captains were all gearing up, hoping to catch the big fish with their own hands.
Who does not know now that within the kingdom of Hattings, the failed Lancastrian Party vacated a large number of titles.
Can their gang of outlaws in the gray area turn over and become masters, this life may be this opportunity, and it is worth investing no matter how big the investment is!
And as the date of the parliamentary elections approaches, more and more pirate captains arrive at Iron Anchor Bay, and the price of goods is long.
It's really fast, it's slow, and it's hard to touch the raw materials here, where can you easily let go?
But Byron is like a stunned young man, and his attitude is even more resolute than him, that is, he wants to fight him to the end.
"I'll give 3,400 pounds, and I'll give money with eight fingers!"
Without waiting for Eight Fingers to take out the large deposit slip in his pocket.
Maltz also immediately increased the price.
"3,500 pounds! I'm out 3500 pounds! ”
Seeing that the profiteer Charmille, whose face was already happy, and Byron, who seemed to have the same urgent need for his face, he didn't feel sorry for the money at all, and he wanted to increase the price again.
Finally, the brain of [Woodpecker], which was carried away by anger, regained consciousness, and began to weigh the pros and cons, and even took the initiative to relent.
Quietly launched his ability [Psychic Synaesthesia] to Byron, and said sincerely to Byron at the spiritual level:
"Friend, there is something to discuss.
Everyone is here for raw materials, and the two of us are competing here, but we cheapened that Remet profiteer for nothing, so why bother?
There's time to raise the price here, enough to go to another slave dealer and buy another squire-level slave. ”
Byron knew that the other party had the ability to "collude in bidding", and he was not surprised, but he maintained a consistent attitude and did not enter at all:
"In that case, then you should quickly quit and go to another house!"
The woodpecker's face froze, and he said tentatively:
"My friend laughed, as long as you quit, the conditions can be raised.
Although our pirates come with money quickly, they don't come in the wind. I'll give you £100 for hardship, how about that? ”
£100 is already an astronomical amount for an average family, which shows sincerity.
But in exchange for Byron's sneer:
"It's funny, doesn't Captain Ben seem to be a man who is short of money? 100 pounds to send beggars? ”
Seeing this guy eat himself, [Woodpecker] simply hated it.
If he's outside, he'll be sure to fire his Bug Cannon and send him to the icy bottom with his pirate ship!
Here you can only force the anger that is about to reach the limit:
"Is it really not negotiable?"
Byron saw that the fire was almost burning, and that it might be self-defeating if he didn't let go, so he acted:
"Everybody is a figure with a head and a face.
If I fight with you and go home empty-handed, what will the men I bring with me think of me? What do these slaves who have just been bought to replenish the crew think of me?
You should understand, right? ”
The woodpecker's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized the crux of the matter, and didn't think much else at all, so he hurriedly got off the donkey down the slope and nodded vigorously:
"Okay, I'll give you a face, and everyone will make friends.
First mate, give the money, and leave that half-dead, gasping fellow to this captain. ”
Stuffing the money to Michael, he snatched the key and turned away with the three transcendents who were obviously more alive.
Dudu left the [Knight of the Oath] who seemed to be the most unaffordable at any time to Byron.
Byron was also unceremonious, throwing the money to Michal, snatching the key and opening the shackles on the Knight of the Oath, taking possession of him.
Michael, the profiteer who got the money, didn't care about their attitude, and it was a surprise that two families could compete to raise prices.
No one is a fool to be a pirate captain, and this deal can be combined with a premium of three hundred pounds.
It wasn't until he carefully placed the Knight of the Oath on the stretcher, and was lifted by Eight Fingers and Gus himself, that Byron finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Most people tend to be conciliatory and compromised.
If you tell someone at the beginning that the room is too dark and you have to start building a skylight, they won't allow it.
But if you advocate just tearing down the roof, they'll come in and settle and be willing to open the skylight.
In psychology, it's called the house demolition effect.
If Byron had named one of the four, he would have aroused suspicion among the cunning slave trader Michael and the old pirate Woodpecker.
And when he came up, the lion opened his mouth and proposed a plan that the woodpecker could not accept.
As long as he gives in a little, the woodpecker himself will come up with the plan to "open the skylight".
So that Byron did not encounter any big waves and successfully achieved his goal.
After the dust settled, he realized that he had just been too nervous, and his palms and back were already soaked in cold sweat.
Turning his head to look at the [Knights of Oath] miserable injuries, he took his intact hand, and said softly in a voice that only he could hear:
"I'm here, it's all right, Bruch... Let's go home. ”
Although there is no way to go back to the real home, whether it is a palace or a thatched hut, as long as there is a family, it is home.
There is no doubt that this miserable Knight of Oath is one of Byron's few family members in this world.
- Guardian Knight [Iron Wall] Bruch.
Although he could hardly connect the inhumanoid existence in front of him with the serious and honest guardian knight he remembered with a smile.
If it weren't for the fact that the two of them grew up together, they would be so familiar that they wouldn't need to distinguish each other by their appearance and posture.
Nor can he be recognized at a glance through the [Law Breaking Stone] cage that shields the power of the law.
"Guests go slowly, welcome to come back next time!"
Byron looked back deeply at Michael, who was grinning and waving enthusiastically at him.
What the slave trader could see through his injuries before, Byron could certainly see as well.
Bruch, who has the title of "Iron Wall", obviously experienced a terrible torture and fighting, and was able to escape only after narrowly avoiding death.
Byron was extremely grateful for the first entry [History Corrector] at this time.
[First, the anchor on your body is more stable.
Objects with whom you have an anchor connection will also be more likely to be swept into the whirlpool of history with you, approaching all kinds of unknowns and secrets. 】
This can be a disaster for those who have a stable life.
But for them, who are already deeply trapped in the whirlpool, it will not make life worse.
Although the Palme d'Or trading company did not play a glorious role in it, without them, the two brothers would not have been able to reunite so quickly.
Byron simply did not owe each other.
As soon as he walked out of the trading house, he poured a bottle of [Blue Blood Sweet Spring] into Bruch to temporarily stabilize his injuries.
But he also knew that conventional potions kept Bruch alive at most, but they couldn't restore him to his original state.
But the [Forbidden Knowledge and Blood Brew] in Byron's hands is the best at... Profit at the expense of others!
Staring coldly at the back of the [Woodpecker] Maltz in front of him, he whispered to himself:
"The [Blood of Transmutation] brewed from ordinary people won't work, but the transcendent ones can!
The people of the York family may not be able to enter Iron Anchor Bay, so this account will be counted on you York hounds first.
I remember that the Yorks had nearly two hundred privateers combined, and no matter what you came here for, such a big one... I smiled unceremoniously at the blood bank. ”
