However, those few nobles enthusiastically chatted with Yves behind him.
"What's the name of that nobleman?" George scratched his ears, but couldn't remember.There are too many nobles looking for him to flatter tonight. Everyone knows that he has remembered his name and identity, but he doesn't have such a good memory.
"It's 'Viscount Menghaibao'." Roosegaard's memory is obviously better: "Yves has always enjoyed a good reputation, and many great nobles and scholars have secretly entrusted him with shipments and purchases."
George nodded.
This little brother who came here is indeed a bit special, it is said that he is also in charge of the logistics of the palace wizard and the laboratory.Today, this can be regarded as a complete connection with Rosgard. In the future, various affairs must be very convenient. It can be said that an important spy has been placed on the side of Fernando and the court wizard.
It can be said that half of the banned books and formulas mentioned by Roosegaard have already been obtained.
In fact, Yves was the cleanest guy in the resting bird, the guy cleaned everything—bodies, goods, and money.
After he came to Clear Water City, he worked hard to build up his reputation.Later, various nobles, scholars, court wizards, Fernando, and his hereditary title made him more and more endorsed.
Because of this reputation, he has always acted as an intermediary between various nobles and scholars.The people and organizations he associates with are very mixed, and the mysterious black magic organization of the Resting Bird has been hidden very deeply, so that almost no one in the world knows this name.
This made it impossible for anyone to know which organization he belonged to—or, in other words, everyone believed that he was a private interface for the court wizards to conduct private affairs.King faction
But no matter which side he belongs to, for George and others, his most important identity is that 'middleman'.There are many items of wizards, and items that are not convenient for nobles.All will be auctioned by this great appraiser.And in it secretly mingled with the goods of the birds of rest
All the money obtained from the shipment of Peace Bird was laundered by him, and then distributed to everyone through his hands.
So when the Resting Bird sees him with two strange wizards, it will be very interesting to get together at this time
George brought him into this auction today just to scare the snake away.And the resting birds, they will inevitably be unable to sit still, and they have moved everyone's wallets.
Tonight's auction is not small, maybe there is that big thing, which is going to launder money through the hands of Yves.So when the Black Death brought Yves into this auction, he became a thorn in the side of all the Resting Birds.
Being able to take down Yves, Black Death is probably different from this friend beside him, but for daring terrorists like the Resting Birds, they will never run away at the slightest word—if they really run away, There's no point in asking for this piece of trash.
George felt that they were most likely to get together, or to be tested by someone.
If you are more courageous, and the things to be washed today are heavier, then you may be able to collect the net tonight, and there will be people in Roosegaard's laboratory tomorrow.
After chatting with Rosgard for a few words, he no longer cared about the two wizards.It looked like he wasn't worried that the new guy would betray him or run away.
And the more casual George behaved, and even took the initiative to create opportunities for him to escape, the more respectful and anxious this guy became, and he didn't dare to think carefully.
Aji and Xiyak, who have been paying attention to the newcomer, know that the boss has already started to "walk the dog". locked more and more dead
Because there was still some time before the boutique auction house upstairs, George and the others did not rush upstairs and took a stroll here.
There are a lot of people in the auction house, and this area is almost crowded with people. Most of the human traffickers in this area are from Landry and Eldar, and most of the people who buy people are from Rodenk.
Because the Kuroshio has gradually subsided, there are too many lands and manors in the south and west waiting for people to reclaim them.Many lords will come here for a stroll because of the perennial population loss, resulting in insufficient leaders and slaves.
Most of these people and livestock were brought back by lords who had the strength to wander outside with their troops.The demon spiders have encountered such a "caravan" in the north of Clearwater City. Although these slave catchers did some crimes, they reunited the scattered refugees and led them to find the city in the mist. .
All the many refugees who were chased by the tide of corpses were actually saved if they encountered these lords.And in order to have a bite to eat, they will be more obedient after being marked as slaves.Some people are even willing to take up arms in that hunger.
For those lords who are outside, people and livestock are just extra gains in treasure hunting.The Rodunks will take them into their own territory, while the lords of other countries will exchange them for silver foxes that are easier to carry in the city.
The physical condition of the population who can enter the city is extremely guaranteed.It can be said that he was healed by the priests for free.The slaves and livestock that can enter the auction house are even more high-quality products.
These men and women, tied together by slave traders, stood on a box or a high platform while peddling, pulling someone up and yelling a low price.The onlookers began to raise their hands and bid for it.
'The purchasing power of three thousand silver foxes is still very high. If you buy a little girl, you can buy one for five silver foxes.Ingenious, beautiful and lovely maids (that's what he used to call), I can take more than 5 of them!tut tut tut
In fact, this price has been hyped up recently. A few months ago, the price was two or three times lower than it is now.But now prices have stabilized, and the market prices of many things have gradually begun to equalize with those in the south.
It is very lively here, and occasionally when a very beautiful woman or a very strong man appears on the stage, it will attract a burst of noisy shouting.The slave traders were sweating profusely, and counting money made their fingers cramp.Often in a successful auction, the goods sold will be ten times more expensive than serfs.
Seeing this, George called Yves from behind with some doubts.
"Xiu, why did that male servant sell for more than 190 silver foxes? He has a bit of force, but the nobleman who bought him is so delicate, it doesn't look like he is going to take him to the battlefield, right?"
"My lord, you don't know something." Yves said very gentlemanly: "In addition to those brothels in Bishui City, there is also an underground 'arena' in the old city. In addition to the regular human-to-human fighting, there are also There are many special programs. What the nobles like to watch most is the fight between the foot fighter and the scavenger. It is very bloody and exciting. The quantity is more or less in short supply."
"You guys in the city still know how to play." George clicked his lips, feeling a little admirable.
"My lord, in fact, what is traded here is still 'raw goods'—that is, new fighters who have not undergone special training. Those well-known fighters may be sold for tens of thousands."
Hearing this, George turned his head and looked at Aji, not knowing how much this guy could sell—if he was sold, the funds should be enough, and this guy would definitely be able to come back.
After seeing the boss's eyes, Aji guessed what the black-hearted boss meant, and couldn't help shivering, shivering
The side where the livestock is auctioned is much quieter than this side.And the auction itself is more advanced than the population.However, most of them are brought here for breeding, and the price of better breeding cattle and rams may be called hundreds of dollars.
George even saw a few mutated horses. Although the pedigree was just ordinary, and those top-notch luxury goods in the Black Pearl Ranch, they were still photographed by thousands of silver foxes, which made him touch his own. Money bag, I feel a little weak in my heart.
But this is already considered the price of a premium horse, and the horses under many lords are only seven or eight hundred silver foxes.Therefore, not everyone could afford to ride this kind of horse, and the influx of a large number of lords, as well as the demand on the battlefield, also made the price of horses in the north much higher than that in the south.
"Boss, I heard that there are often horse races near the city-state of Clearwater City--this is really business-minded, and directly drives up the price of the horses. And now many noble thoroughbred horses carefully raised by the great nobles of Rodunk, There is no master now, so many lords are now willing to run to the east, and the brotherhood has recently begun to receive some missions." Aji said with shining eyes: "There is a reward called 'Qingmang', just If you provide information, there will be thousands of silver foxes to take!"
"This group of people are really crazy." George clicked his mouth, with a sour taste in his mouth.
Now the land is so cheap, a farm is only three to five hundred silver foxes, and a small manor with a large wooden house, a mill, and hundreds of acres of land is about three to five thousand.It does sound a bit scary that the price of this animal can be sold so high.
"But it's no wonder that the most expensive horses should be good horses now." Aji said: "Now there are suppression teams everywhere, and many lords want to go to Chishan to join in the fun. A good war horse can save life at critical moments. "
"Speaking of which, war supplies should be very expensive. Antiques, works of art and the like are actually much cheaper." Thinking of this, George's heart thumped, and he regretted giving away all the young men. Going back to the valley, the old soldiers don't need horses. With their endurance, running on legs is actually faster than marching on horses.And Qingfengma couldn't stand these heavy armored soldiers.But armed noble troops need a lot of horses, otherwise when these guys run, they will be much slower.
"I don't know how much money Martin made in Fallen Leaf City. When Ian brings someone over, I should be a local tyrant, right?"
Ian may not bring all the funds raised by the nobles - it depends on how much equipment he bought in Fallen Leaf City to arm the new army.
But along the way to the west, Tanya and the others collected a lot of good things in many unmanned manors.Those antiques, works of art, spices, and treasures are all in the hands of the big army. After they are shipped, their value will be several times higher than that of Hongzhuang's harvest.
"Boss, you are also a big local tyrant now." Aji looked at the not far behind and said quietly.The two wizards were hanging behind them, whispering to each other.
George raised his eyebrows slightly, and his mysterious demeanor became more intense.
After wandering around for a while, everyone came upstairs.
Originally, George planned to go directly to the lounge on the top floor, but he couldn't help but stop when he saw an interesting auction area upstairs.
The "used" space here is much less than downstairs, and it is more like an art exhibition hall than an auction.But what is on display is armor and weapons.
George discovered that the equipment here was all made of alchemy.Alchemy products on the mainland have always been very rare, but the Kuroshio tide brought all the collections of the great Rodenk nobles here by the treasure hunting team.Coupled with the fact that many wizards flocked here, there were more and more alchemy products of all kinds.And the Duke's series of policies are also biased towards equipment building, so advanced armor has become the mainstream product.
George is not very interested in ancient armors. Their gorgeous or simple appearance mainly shows history.The customers he met were also collectors, and big nobles who were ready for ransom.
What he is keen on are those new techniques.
Armors like 'Storm' that can resist elemental forces are very common here.And George found that the best things sold here were also aimed at fire.As for the weapons, they are all aimed at burning. It seems that the lords firmly believe that flames can purify demons.
George found that some of the equipment seemed to be standard, and the auction method was also very interesting-ten pieces started bidding, and the bidding took place within 72 hours.
