i have a dead world

Chapter 70
"wizard?"

The middle-aged knight's expression froze for a moment, and he remained silent.

There are many stories and legends about wizards circulating on the continent of Esk. This is a very mysterious and special existence.

They wander in every corner of Esk Continent, mastering mysterious magic, proficient in witchcraft, summoning puppets and refining magical potions. There are too many legends and methods about wizards.

For ordinary people in Esk Continent, few of them can see the existence of wizards with their own eyes, and even some people have always doubted whether wizards really exist, or are they just a fantasy profession recorded in books at least?
But Leonard is very clear that wizards are real, and he once saw a powerful wizard with his own eyes.

Wizards may not be as exaggerated and powerful as in the legends, but they are indeed mysterious, with complex and weird methods. They use all methods that can amplify their own power to promote their own powerful mysterious existence.

Every wizard is unique and never exposes himself easily to the public.

Leonard felt that there was a wizard behind Edra, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the special and powerful features of these black-robed servants, nor could it explain why he possessed so many secret stones.

After a moment of silence, the middle-aged knight asked, "My lord, what shall we do now?"

"Wait."

Leonard said lightly: "We are just moving faster. The news will soon spread throughout Sand City, and other people will test this guy for us."

"If he is mysterious and powerful in disguise, then naturally he won't be able to last for many days. If he is really supported by wizards, then the Awakened Chamber of Commerce is still his top priority for trading."

Leonard's voice was very confident: "Because, in this city, no one can offer a higher price."

Leonard had some knowledge about wizards. Although he didn't know much, he knew that wizards' training was different from that of knights. Many witchcraft experiments required a lot of resources and wealth.

As long as the price given is high enough, he doesn't believe that he can't afford Edora's order.

Moreover, Leonard has always suspected that Edra holds a whole vein of secret stones. The reason why he is so cautious and forbearing is to plot more secret stones.

He wants to buy an entire mine vein for His Majesty the King!

"We just need to wait patiently now. I believe he won't keep hiding so deeply. You go to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce this afternoon and mobilize a knight brigade to come to Sand City."

Leonard's voice was calm: "I have to prepare with both hands."

"Yes."

The middle-aged knight shuddered, bowed his head and respectfully agreed.

The reason why the Chamber of Commerce of the Awakened is powerful is that it has strong financial resources and extensive contacts. It is more because the Chamber of Commerce of the Awakened has the support of the official army of the Xusen Kingdom.

In a knight brigade, there must be a senior knight!
There are very few high-level knights in Sand City. It seems that the Duke is determined to take this list.

Whether it is through high-priced procurement or coercion by force.

After severing contact, Baron Edra sent half of the farmers outside the city to inquire about information. Although he was a little anxious and apprehensive, he still obeyed Lord Death's order and stayed in the hotel to wait for the news.

"Master Reaper said that since the Awakened Chamber of Commerce has received the news, most other chambers of commerce and powerful people in Sand City will also receive the news."

Baron Edra muttered to himself, repeating what An Baichen told him: "Then I can just wait quietly now. If I go out to ask for news, it will make people think that I am in a hurry to sell these secret stones." , will be at a disadvantage in negotiations.”

Baron Edra really wanted to see the difference of Sand City, and wanted to experience the customs and culture of other places like a normal traveler, but in order to maintain his sense of mystery, he could only stay in the hotel.

But this boredom didn't last long. After lunch, the owner of the hotel came to visit again.

"Mr. Edra, members of the [Kenta Union Chamber of Commerce] are coming to visit you."

"Bring him in!"

Edra's spirit was shaken, and she informed the farmer to bring people in.

In Sand City, [Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce] and [Awakened Chamber of Commerce] are also in the category of top forces, but [Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce] does not belong to the local chamber of commerce of the Xusen Kingdom, so its influence in Sand City is relatively large. [Awakened Chamber of Commerce] is slightly weaker.

The Kentucky Union Chamber of Commerce sent a capable middle-aged businessman who looked honest and honest with a strong affinity.

"Hello, Mr. Edra, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Nigel, the vice president of [Kenta Union Chamber of Commerce]. I am very happy to visit you."

Nigel put his hands on his chest and looked at Edla with a smile.

He came alone, without any guards, just carrying a small box.

"A guild leader has left, and now a vice-chairman is here, all of them are big men." Baron Edra sighed in his heart.

Although this Nigel did not reveal his identity other than the vice president, Baron Edra can still guess that even if Nigel is not as good as Leonard's duke status, it must be enough to crush him, a country lord .

"I know your purpose."

Baron Edra has experience this time, and after receiving the notice from the hotel owner, he quickly contacted An Baichen.

Baron Edra lay sideways on the chair, staring straight ahead, not looking at Nigel, with a very arrogant attitude.

"It's for the secret stone, isn't it?" Every word he says now is repeating what Lord Reaper said in his mind: "Do you know? The Awakened Chamber of Commerce moves faster than you, and they sent a Chairman."

Facing Edra's difficulties and arrogance, Nigel still had a smile on his face. He had already thought of dealing with these difficulties before he came.

Hearing that this was a mysterious traveler who made Leonard return without success, he naturally wouldn't hold him accountable.

When Nigel heard Edlard's words, he quickly explained: "Mr. Edlard doesn't know something. The president of our chamber of commerce is not in Sand City right now. He is purchasing new goods in the distant Snow Territory."

"Is this an excuse?" Baron Edra's voice was very calm. He obeyed Lord Death's order and sneered a few times: "Go back, I don't have any secret stones to sell to you."

Are you driving people away so quickly?Don't you even listen to other people's quotations?
Baron Edra felt a little tired, and he felt that he couldn't keep up with Lord Death's rhythm.

"Mr. Edra, I have notified my president, and I believe he must be on his way back to Sand City."

"If you don't dislike it, you must be the most honored guest of the [Kenta Union Chamber of Commerce]. I am here only to represent the [Kenta Union Chamber of Commerce] to form a sincere friendship with you, not for business."

Nigel was very good at talking, he took out his small box and put it on the table: "This is a little gift from me, I hope you will accept it."

"I won't bother Mr. Edra. If you need any help, you can send someone to notify [Kenta Union Chamber of Commerce], and we will do our best to help you."

Nigel put down the small box, saluted respectfully, then turned and left.

"Hey, is he leaving now?"

Baron Edra was a little dazed, it was different from what he imagined: "Master Reaper, does he really think that I don't have a secret stone?"

It made Baron Edra very sad that such a large potential customer had run away.

"No, this guy is smart."

An Baichen's voice sounded in Baron Edra's mind: "He knows that Leonard has suffered a loss from you once, so he adopted a different contact method from Leonard."

"A vice-chairman of the [Awakened Chamber of Commerce], who has been a competitor for many years, dared to come to meet a mysterious traveler alone without a guard, and at the same time brought a gift, which is enough to show his sincerity."

"And he didn't take the initiative to propose any transaction and negotiation intentions, but put down his stance to make friends with you. Taking the lead in letting go of all defenses and vigilance is enough to make the opponent relax."

An Baichen asked, "What do you think of this guy?"

Edra said without hesitation: "I think he is great, he is a guy worth making as a friend."

An Baichen laughed: "This is the shrewdness of a businessman. To do business, you must first learn to be a man. Selling yourself is always more difficult than selling goods."

"My lord, what should we do now?"

"Keep waiting."

An Baichen instructed: "According to the information you collected, we have already contacted the two most potential chambers of commerce in Sand City. If other chambers of commerce send people, you can directly refuse and don't see them."

Even the heads of the two largest chambers of commerce didn't discuss the deal, so why give other chambers of commerce a chance to get in touch?
Now is the stage of holding identity and waiting for a price.

"Then this gift" Baron Edra looked at the small box on the table, he was very curious about what was inside.

"It should be some treasures or gold coins. You can accept it, so [Awakened Chamber of Commerce] should feel pressure." An Baichen said casually.

Accepting gifts from competitors, but ignoring his own chamber of commerce, as long as Leonard still wants to do this business, he will definitely make the next move.

"Master Reaper, when can we really sell secret stones?"

"Wait until the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce or the Awakened Chamber of Commerce's second active contact. Before that, you don't want to meet other people, but you can get in touch with some adventurers who don't have a powerful background."

An Baichen said: "Please contact me again, I have other things to deal with."

"Okay, God of Death, go slowly."

Baron Edra hurriedly spoke respectfully, and as soon as his words fell, Lord Reaper cut off the contact.

Baron Edra doesn't know that if he just sells secret stones at a high price, there is no need for such a complicated process. He can choose one of the two chambers of commerce when he first contacts, or choose to work with the two Cooperate and take advantage of their competitive relationship with each other to check and balance each other.

In this way, the goal of long-term and stable sales of secret stones can be achieved.

But what An Baichen wants is not to help Baron Edra sell secret stones. He needs to deal with the strength and mystery of the mysterious background forces behind Dela, so that he can make better use of the Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce and the Awakened Chamber of Commerce.

After all, the person behind Baron Edra is himself, the world of the undead.

He helps Baron Edra shape the mysterious imagination, and at the same time he improves his own value.

For An Baichen, the Kentucky Alliance Chamber of Commerce and the Awakened Chamber of Commerce are more valuable for in-depth contact and understanding than other individual adventurers and small lords.

If the terms of the summoning undead agreement can be reached with any of the two chambers of commerce, then An Baichen will be able to gain a firm foothold in the continent of Esk and carry out the summoning business wantonly.

Baron Edra coughed. He walked to the small box, opened it carefully, and looked inside.

A piece of golden light shone, almost blinding Edra's eyes.

gold!

All gold coins!
Moreover, this small box is an extremely rare fantasy item. It seems to be small in size, but it can hold more items.

This kind of fantasy item can only be refined by legendary wizards.

Baron Edra poured out the gold coins from the small box, the sound of "jingle jingle" kept ringing, and the gold coins quickly piled up a hill on the ground.

At a glance, there are at least tens of thousands of gold coins!

"Really."

Baron Edra felt his hands trembling a little, he held back for a long time before murmuring: "It's really rich and powerful."

A big chamber of commerce is a big chamber of commerce. If you make a friend and give it a gift, you will get [-] gold coins and a fantasy item with great practical value.

The potential value of this gift alone is almost equivalent to a thousand secret stones.

"Come here, put away these gold coins."

After Baron Edra hesitated for a while, he decided to hide the small box and present it to Lord Death as a gift the next time he contacts Lord Death.

As for these coins.
Lord Reaper said earlier that he doesn't like the gold coins on Esk Continent, so I'll take them reluctantly.

In the next three days, people kept coming to visit Baron Edra, most of them were small chambers of commerce that were weaker than [Kenta Alliance Chamber of Commerce] and [Awakened Chamber of Commerce], as well as some nobles and other caravans in the city.

They didn't know where they heard the news, and they knew that Baron Edra had a lot of secret stones in his hands, and they all wanted to come to share a share.

There are rumors about "mysterious Mr. Edra", "a large amount of secret stone wealth" and so on in the entire Sand City. The rumors are getting more and more fierce, and more and more people are visiting Edra.

Anyone with some influence in Sand City focused their attention on Edra.

In just a few days, the undercurrents in the Sand City were surging, and Edra seemed to be the most arrogant and hottest existence in the entire Sand City.

Baron Edra obeyed Lord Reaper's orders, and did not see any of these visiting people. He locked himself in the hotel and concentrated on playing the role of his mysterious traveler.

It is worth mentioning that Knox from the Holland Chamber of Commerce also visited Baron Edra the next day. This time Knox brought enough gold coins. After negotiating a good deal, buy those one hundred secret stones.

According to Lord Reaper's instructions, Baron Edra refused to continue the deal with Knox and kicked him out of the hotel directly in the name of Knox leaking his information at will.

I don't know if it was because of resentment in Knox's heart, but on the fourth night, the small courtyard of the hotel where Edra was staying was attacked by a group of ranger assassins.

An Baichen had already greeted Edra, and undead warriors had been guarding the secret stone transport vehicle and the door of Baron Edra's room day and night.

These ranger assassins have a very strong breath of life, no matter how well they are hidden, they cannot attack under the eyes of the undead warriors.

Most ranger assassins were beheaded by undead warriors, and some lucky assassins were captured alive.

Baron Edra didn't get any valuable information from the survivors. These Ranger Assassins didn't even know who their employers were, and they just picked up the mission through a middleman.

"What is your mission?"

"Secretly stealing the secret stone, please forgive us, we will never dare to offend you again."

"A group of bastards dare to steal my things!"

Baron Edra was very angry, he ordered the undead warriors to kill all the living, and then threw the corpses out of the hotel.
