Chapter 39: Sitting on the ground and raising prices
. After Ural’s explanation, everyone learned that the Lord of Yoel City had been urgently summoned to the mainland of the empire a few days ago and was currently not in the city.
At this time, the city of Youle was managed by the son of the city lord, Master Joseph, who was a great knight.
"I didn't expect it was that Joseph. Now I'm in trouble..."
After that, Ural explained the reason to several people.
Master Joseph is the only son of the third-class wizard, the lord of Youle City.
Although he was not born with any qualifications as a wizard, thanks to his father's favor, he had acquired a physique at the level of a great knight by the time he was nearly thirty, thanks to the accumulation of various potions.
This young master Joseph did all kinds of evil in the city because his father, a third-class wizard, was the keeper.
They rob married women and even kill their husbands in front of them.
Once when the other party resisted, Master Joseph and his guards took the other party's family to the city square and publicly skinned and tortured them to death.
The power of a great knight also fueled Joseph's arrogance. It is said that he often killed mortals unscrupulously in the city of Youle.
"I can barely talk to the city lord of Yoel City, but I have never had any contact with this young master Joseph."
Ural's face was uncertain. At this moment, bursts of noise suddenly came from outside.
Yihua, who had keen hearing, faintly heard a few words, so he opened the window.
Everyone looked out the window, and the moment they saw the scene on the street clearly, everyone's expressions became a little ugly.
On the street, there were dozens of naked humans crawling on the ground, pulling a carriage and struggling to move forward.
At the front of the car, a young man with blond hair, about thirty years old, with ordinary appearance but luxuriously dressed, had a ferocious face, and was whipping the naked men and women in front of him with the whip in his hand.
While scolding:
"Go away! You untouchables!"
Judging from the marks on these naked men and women, they are all slaves.
"Even if you are a slave, such humiliation is a bit too much."
Seeing this scene, Anna turned away, feeling a little unbearable.
Reg looked at the noble coat of arms with swords and sticks on the carriage, his eyes flickered slightly and said:
"Is he the young master Joseph we are going to discuss the scroll business with?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ural looked gloomy and nodded reluctantly. .
Yihua frowned, even though he had long known that there was no human rights in this world where the jungle prevailed.
But seeing the scene before him with his own eyes still made his impression of Master Joseph fall to the bottom.
In the following time, Yihua went to the city to gather information in order to obtain a higher level of Knight Breathing Technique.
As a result, I learned that there is a breathing method that is more advanced than Yihua's current breathing method, and it is at least higher than that of the Grand Knight - the family secret method of the Earth Knight family.
Knight families often regard the family breathing method as a treasure, and it is impossible to pass it on to outsiders.
If you want to obtain this level of breathing method, you can only do it at some large auctions in the hinterland of the empire, or as a reward given by Prince Norton to those who have made significant military achievements in guarding the northern border.
So Yihua had no choice but to give up for the time being and turn to rare items that could enhance his own life energy and speed up the knight's training.
After he is promoted to a second-class apprentice, he will definitely target the third-class undead.
In the previous battle with the Skinner, Yihua was well aware of the huge boosting effect produced by being promoted to Grand Knight.
If you want to defeat higher-level undead, it is difficult to do without the help of higher-level knight power.
Early the next morning, when the sun rose three poles high.
After several people had breakfast, a guard with a formal knight's physique came to Yihua and others and said:
"Master wizards, Master Joseph decided to discuss with the wizards who wanted to negotiate the scroll business at noon. If you are interested, you can go to the City Lord's Mansion."
Yi Hua and others came here just for this purpose.
Although they were a little disgusted with Master Joseph's way of meaninglessly killing and humiliating others, for the sake of the scroll business, several people immediately agreed and took a carriage to the city lord's palace in Youle City.
——The
sunlight shines into the house through the glass windows and falls to the ground like broken gold.
A mature male voice came from an office that was quite luxuriously decorated and filled with various rare collectibles.
"Master Joseph, there are three wizard caravans that we are meeting this time. The information has been sorted out for you. Please take a look." A middle-aged
man with glasses in a black and white butler uniform stood in front of the table and bowed respectfully to the table. The blond young man on the sofa behind handed over a stack of papers.
While drinking the red wine that had just been poured, Joseph looked boredly at the information that had been sorted out by the butler.
The first team was led by a newly promoted third-level wizard.
The other party came here to discuss the scroll business on behalf of the scroll production organization "Golden Hand" of the Nine Rings White Tower Branch. It is said that the organization is behind a fifth-level wizard.
The tentative purchase quantity given was three thousand blank parchment scrolls.
The second team consists of one first-class wizard and four second-class wizards.
It is composed of self-employed individuals from Jiuhuan Baita Branch with no background.
The tentative purchase quantity given was one thousand blank parchment scrolls.
The leader of the third branch was only a second-class wizard.
But his identity is that of a palace wizard from the empire's workshop, backed by the empire's royal family.
The tentative purchase quantity given was two thousand blank parchment scrolls.
"Master Joseph, we currently only have 6,000 sheepskin scrolls left in our hands, and one thousand of them have already been reserved. I'm afraid we can only meet the needs of two of the teams. Which team do you want to meet first?" Three
teams The team's demand is 6,000, but the city of Yoel currently has only 5,000 sheepskin scrolls that can be sold.
After reading the information in front of him, Joseph fell into deep thought. After a while, he made what he thought was a "wise" decision.
"First meet the first team, then meet the third team, and finally meet the second team with no background. Don't you still have those discarded scrolls? Just use them." - At the same time, the five
Yihua
people were already in the hall . Long wait.
It wasn't until the two teams of wizards waiting together left that a middle-aged man dressed as a butler walked out of the living room and said respectfully to several people: "Master wizards,
Master Joseph invites you in."
"You have been waiting for so long. For a long time."
Ural in the team walked into the living room first, and Ural behind him flashed his eyes, seeming to notice something strange.
Everyone quickly entered the living room and took their seats. Joseph, who was sitting opposite, sipped red wine and said to several wizards:
"My current selling price here is 20 crystal coins."
Ural Wen, who is a frequent visitor to Youle City, said Yan was taken aback and explained with an ugly face:
"20 witch crystals? That's too exaggerated. You have to know that the current price in our academy is only 40 crystal coins. This is a completely loss-making transaction with no profit!" "You should also know by now that the current price of the scroll
is A rising tide lifts all boats."
Ural, who had been well prepared, was obviously not satisfied with Joseph's explanation and retorted.
"Of course I know this. The price used to be 5 crystal coins. I also heard from people in the city this morning that now the scroll has only increased to 8 crystal coins..." Before Ural could finish speaking, Joseph seemed to be depressed
. After exposing the lie, he became angry and said:
"Just tell me whether you want it or not?"
