Update first and then repair.
After changing their clothes at the inn, Ren and Canosha took a steam locomotive through the crowded streets and arrived at the private estate of Grand Duke Valentin, the lord at the top of Mechanical City.
Tonight's auction is managed by the Rosas family. General merchandise will be auctioned in the auction house, while bulk goods will be traded in the banquet hall of the Duke's Palace.
When Ren's steam locomotive arrived, there was already a long queue of locomotives at the gate of the manor.
There was a long red carpet at the gate of the manor surrounded by iron fences. Wealthy businessmen and noblemen in gorgeous dresses got out of their motorcycles and signed in one after another to enter the manor.
The size of this auction is the largest since the founding of the "Glory City". Also because the promotion started two months in advance, too many celebrities and rich people gathered here. Tonight, almost everyone from the famous trading houses in the two empires came, and there were also many wealthy nobles who wanted to come to search for treasures.
After all, tonight’s auction is also dazzling.
After the [Black Tide] broke out, the hunters found too many rare treasures in the wasteland ruins. There are also many rare treasures in the auction brochure, including ancient weapons, armor, high-level magic potions, barbarian slaves... all of them are rare treasures in the world.
... ...
Night has fallen.
It was raining lightly in the sky and the clouds were low.
Looking up, you can see the flickering thunder snake in the dark clouds, as if you can reach it from a high altitude.
The rainwater splashed on the car glass, and the crystal clear particles fell into the gaps, leaving long water marks.
On the steam locomotive, Wren and Canossa sat on the back seat of the soft leather cover, looking through the glass at the brightly lit luxurious manor outside the window.
On the car seat, the two of them sat very close, and Canosha's hand held Ren's arm very affectionately. The thin black gauze dress on her body did not block the ultimate touch at all, which made Lei feel like His arm seemed to be trapped in a warm and fragrant jade.
However, although the atmosphere was ambiguous, the two of them did not have many charming thoughts in their hearts.
There will be a fierce battle tonight.
"Our people are already in place. After entering, we will first confirm the location of Coleman's captured warriors, and then lead out the hidden top supernatural beings. When people outside hear the movement, they will take action immediately."
"Um."
"Also...tonight is your first official appearance as the 'Lord of Black Dragon City', so you have to behave better."
"How to behave?"
"Aren't you too shameless to be invincible? Anyway, our Black Dragon City is already invincible, so just think of yourself as the emperor of the two great empires..."
"oh... "
The two of them were talking wordlessly.
Knowing that there was a "Hongmen Banquet" in this manor, Ren didn't panic at all.
Not to mention Bazel, who was already lurking in the darkness, there was also Canosha beside him. Even worse, there is the "pickup truck" in the thundercloud that can fly down instantly as soon as the belief comes.
With this luxurious bodyguard lineup, unless the "Top Ten Legends" take action at the same time, the possibility of killing him instantly is extremely low.
Although the action plan had been made long ago, Ren's mind was still rapidly deducing everything and guarding against accidents.
Not long after, the steam locomotive arrived at the gate of the manor.
"Come on, let's go down too."
"Um."
Ren nodded, and a flash of domineering light flashed across his eyes.
The driver opened the door, got out of the car first, and then helped Canossa out in a gentlemanly manner.
Neither of them wore masks, and as soon as they got out of the car, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone around them.
... ... .
Motorcycles were not allowed to enter the manor, and the guards and servants stayed outside the manor.
After the two got off the car, they handed over the invitation letter at the door, and then walked along the red carpet towards the manor.
Canossa held Ren's arm like a little bird, making it obvious at a glance that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.
Canossa's temperament was already outstanding, and her reputation for beauty had long spread throughout the two empires. Tonight, her long black gauze dress stunned everyone's attention.
The red carpet was originally filled with flowers, and all kinds of ladies and ladies were dressed in gorgeous styles. But her appearance immediately overshadowed all the female guests present.
The beautiful aura of Canossa is like the bright moon pressing down on the stars in the sky.
And Renn, dressed as a domineering city leader, is also eye-catching.
His high-level and extraordinary domineering aura allowed him to crush more than 90% of the people present; coupled with the top-notch luxurious cape and dress, the whole person exuded the domineering aura of a superior from beginning to end.
As Canosha said, "Black Dragon City" is invincible in the world, and as the city lord, Ren's status will not be inferior to anyone else!
Ren's eyes were shining and his steps were steady. He was like a domineering lion stepping on the red carpet, his momentum rising with every step he took.
In the eyes of others, this is the king!
... ... .
The sudden appearance of the "focus" also surprised the bystanders and started whispering.
"Hey... who is that man? Why does he look a little unfamiliar?"
"Since he is the male companion brought by President Canossa, his identity must not be simple. It's strange. Among the high-ranking nobles of the two empires, I don't remember that there is such a number one person, and he is still so young..."
"Look at the clothing specifications of that person, it seems that he is also a high lord?"
"..."
Kanosha has a wide network of contacts, and almost all the presidents of the large chambers of commerce in the two empires of Hiddouma look familiar.
No, not long after we got off the bus, several familiar big businessmen came over to greet us.
"Oh, President Canossa, long time no see, you are becoming more and more beautiful."
"President, you are well."
"..."
Several fat-headed and big-eared presidents came over with their bejeweled wives and greeted each of them respectfully.
The "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" has a high status among merchants in this world.
Black Gold is a "first-class chamber of commerce", and all other chambers of commerce combined are barely considered "second-class".
Regardless of their financial resources or influence, the few wealthy businessmen in front of them are no match for a single finger of Canossa. Therefore, these chamber of commerce presidents naturally have enough humility in front of her.
Canosha didn't have any airs and nodded to several people.
Then, surprisingly, she didn't say much, but introduced the people in front of her to Ren, "This is Boss Chapman of the Black Flag Chamber of Commerce, and that is Boss Anthony of the Shark Chamber of Commerce." ..."
After introducing them one by one, Renn nodded lightly.
Seeing Canosha's attitude, everyone was immediately confused.
Although businessmen do not pay as much attention to red tape as the aristocracy, their basic etiquette is not bad.
Canossa's order of introduction is obviously that a person with a low status introduces others to a person with a high status.
This shocked this group of chamber of commerce presidents.
What is the origin of this person that the president of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce can introduce so solemnly
The leader, the fat man with a mustache, vaguely guessed something and used honorifics and asked: "President Canossa, may I ask who this lord is...?"
Canosha introduced: "This is His Majesty Renn Hermes, the Lord of the Black Dragon City."
Finally, Renn was promoted as the city lord for the first time, and the name "Black Dragon City" was revealed to the world for the first time.
... ...
"Your Majesty?"
This title is very subtle.
Ordinary high-ranking nobles are not qualified to use this title, even if they are princes!
Except for the emperor of the Hidrom Empire, the only people who can use this title are the honorific titles when referring to a certain god...
Oh, now there is another king of the Kingdom of Glory.
Could it be that this "Ren Hermes" is also a king
But, what kind of place is "Black Dragon City"? Why have I never heard of it
Could it be a local emperor in some remote corner who proclaimed himself king
It would be fine if it were introduced like this by ordinary people, but coming from the mouth of Canossa J. Crofeller, the vice president of the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce", this is a bit intriguing.
The businessmen are all clever, and they naturally know that it would be rude to inquire at this time. They felt that it was probably because they had no information. This "Black Dragon City" was a "new territory" somewhere between the two empires.
But no matter what, they all understood that the young man in front of them, no matter how heroic, was a top noble.
After hearing Canossa's introduction, a group of businessmen quickly stepped forward to salute Renn's chest protector warmly and respectfully, saying: "Sir Renn, I'm glad to meet you..."
Ren nodded, without being disrespectful and without showing too much enthusiasm.
... ...
The group of people surrounded Ren and entered the banquet hall of the manor.
However, it is one thing to say hello when you meet an acquaintance, but what is more important is to be motivated by profit.
This group of chamber of commerce presidents came to greet Canosha, and naturally they came with a purpose.
The situation of the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" is now clear to everyone. Both the two empires and the Kingdom of Glory are frantically suppressing it. Befriending Black Gold at this juncture is not a good choice.
However, the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" has another important "wealth password" in its hands.
After chatting about old times.
President Anthony of the previous "Shark Chamber of Commerce" spoke directly and went straight to the point: "Well... President Canossa, I would like to ask if the [Black Mist Poison Elixir] auctioned by your Chamber of Commerce this time can be used." Let Shark Chamber of Commerce distribute a part of it? If we can be given the agency rights in the seven southern provinces of Sid, the price can be negotiated..."
"We, the 'Redbud Chamber of Commerce', are also willing to cooperate with you..."
"The 'Gold Chamber of Commerce' is also willing to cooperate..."
"..."
At the beginning, everyone rushed to speak.
The scene was lively for a while.
... ...
In the past, people did not think that this "black mist" was poisonous gas.
Now the [Black Tide] broke out west of the Alcoron Mountains, and the skyrocketing cultivation speed made everyone understand that this "black mist" is a "special element" that can speed up cultivation.
Moreover, it is also a recognized fact that the most important hard currency now, which is the [Magic Crystal] obtained after killing living corpses, can be directly absorbed to enhance extraordinary cultivation like a magic core.
The only side effect is that the human body cannot fully digest the violent energy. Absorbing it hastily will accumulate hidden wounds and cause damage to the body.
And now, a group of scientists from the "Pharmacists' Society" are still immersed in studying how to solve this hidden danger.
But even now that research equipment is becoming more and more advanced, according to the research progress of a new drug, it may take as early as three to five years, or as late as ten or eight years to develop a drug to solve the side effects of the black fog.
But at this time, what no one expected was that the finished potion - [Black Mist Detoxifying Potion] appeared in the counter of the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce"!
Who knows where the Black Gold recipe came from, but that potion has been proven to be miraculous in treating the side effects of inhaling black mist!
This is a huge business opportunity.
It can be said that whoever obtains the right to sell this potion can obtain a huge amount of wealth in a short period of time!
Moreover, this formula is currently unique to Black Gold, which means that it is an exclusive potion.
"Exclusive" means "monopolyable", it means "price customization", and it is a medicine that will definitely become a necessity for extraordinary people in the future.
Even if you are not a businessman, you can understand the meaning of this!
... ... .
"President Canossa, what do you think? As long as we can obtain the distribution rights, you can ask for all the conditions..."
"Yes, President Canossa, if you ask, we will never counter-offer."
"..."
Originally, the presidents of these small chambers of commerce were just here to test the waters.
In their opinion, the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" would never let this kind of profit-making business go to others.
Unexpectedly, at this time Canosha responded immediately and said: "Don't worry, as long as they are partners of my 'Black Gold Chamber of Commerce', they will have enough shares."
"???"
Did you agree so easily
For a moment, the chamber of commerce presidents thought they had heard wrongly and looked at each other in confusion.
At this time, someone asked: "What about the price of the medicine? What about the distribution commission ratio?"
Canosha: "The price is also three times the normal cost price. The ratio is still based on the previous cooperation ratio..."
"Huh? Really?"
At this moment, everyone showed an expression of disbelief.
This condition is simply a free gift.
If we really let them get the low-priced medicine, they can get tenfold or hundredfold profits in an instant.
This is a huge benefit!
After getting excited, everyone became confused again.
Why is this "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" willing to give up the opportunity to enjoy the cake exclusively
At this time, someone asked impatiently: "President Canossa, do you have any other conditions for this cooperation?"
Canossa: "Not bad!"
After hearing this, the businessmen all looked attentive.
Conditionally, they breathed a sigh of relief.
This is "reasonable" business.
At this time, Canosha did not whet everyone's appetite, and said: "To be honest with you... in fact, the formula of [Black Mist Detoxification Potion] is not owned by me, Black Gold, but the private property of His Majesty Ren." production. Therefore, if you want to cooperate, you must obtain the procedures from the Ministry of Commerce of Black Dragon City..."
"Huh? That's it?"
"I'm sorry for my ignorance, but where is Black Dragon City...?"
"Everyone will know after tomorrow. At that time, I will send people to distribute invitation letters to the 'Black Dragon Territory' to all the presidents. I can guarantee that you only need to go to the territory to go through a formality, and there are no harsh conditions..."
"..."
With this statement, the chamber of commerce presidents became even more excited.
Everyone knows that President Canossa’s promises are worth a thousand dollars, and what she said is more effective than a contract.
Many of them came to the auction today, and their main purpose was to get the pharmaceutical distribution rights. They didn't expect that they got the promise so easily.
After hearing what Canosha said, several people even turned around and left the manor. They couldn't wait to inquire about the "Black Dragon City" and made arrangements in advance.
... ... .
Canosha and Renne's walk attracted everyone's attention.
The content of their conversation was not deliberately hidden, and it was naturally listened to by others.
But those who were qualified to surround him were more or less "friends" who had friendships with Canosha.
As soon as they heard that the distribution rights of the [Black Mist Anti-Poison Potion] were so easy to obtain, the "hostile" chambers of commerce not far away who had added insult to injury when the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce was suppressed all regretted it.
"How... is this possible? How could Black Gold take out the right to distribute the medicine so easily?"
"Hey, we have missed this opportunity to make a fortune. Before Omar suppressed black gold, our 'Tietou Chamber of Commerce' also grabbed the black gold market, and 80% of the distribution rights will not be obtained..."
"Hmph! The 'Black Gold Chamber of Commerce' may not be able to take advantage of this. Do you really think that with the formula in her hands, she can sell medicines and make money? But look, except for Sid's remote territories, their Chamber of Commerce Where is the place to stand? I haven’t seen the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Glory, so they are eager to eat this piece of fat now... "
"..."
Some are remorseful, some are jealous, and some are eccentric.
Especially those from the "Sunflower Merchant Association".
They were the protagonists of this auction, but unexpectedly, before it even started, the limelight was snatched away by one person.
Sure enough, the good times didn't last long.
Not long after, an arrogant old man came over with a few servants and walked straight towards Ren and Canosha.
... ...
The old man didn't speak, but the servant who looked like a butler introduced him: "This is the Minister of Commerce of the Kingdom of Glory, the Marquis of Xiangshan, Mr. Rafael Rosas."
"Hey, Lord Marquis?"
Canossa and Renn looked at each other, with a look of watching a show on their faces.
The old man was not polite and said directly: "Canosha from the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, right? I know you. I won't beat around the bush. I want to buy your [Black Mist Detoxification Potion] formula."
The first thing he said was not to cooperate, but to buy the formula, and the other party didn't even bother to hide it.
The tone was very arrogant, already revealing that they were determined to take the "black gold" plan.
"Buy the formula?"
Although both Ren and Ren guessed the other's intention, seeing the other come to the door so arrogantly, they still felt a little ridiculous.
Canossa had a teasing chuckle on her face and asked, "Oh? What price are you willing to pay?"
The old man raised his head slightly and said, "One hundred million."
Canossa: "Gold Crown?"
The old man sneered, shook his head, and said proudly: "No, Rizzo."
For 100 million Liso, it is not easy to buy even a low-level magic potion formula, let alone this exclusive [Black Mist Poison Elixir] formula
He felt that the current situation of the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" was like meat from the wolf's mouth, and they had no right to reject their glorious kingdom. I can only hand over the formula obediently in order to cut off my tail and protect myself, maybe there is still a place to stand...
But he never thought that as soon as he said these words, he immediately heard a cold shout.
"roll!"
When he turned around, he saw that it was not Canosha who was speaking, but Ren.
