In the corridor of the mage tower, several passing female mages stopped in unison. Not far ahead, in front of the private research room belonging to the female mage Relis, two handsome men were chatting softly. One looked at He was dressed like a mercenary and wore a black fur coat. His exposed arms had some scars left after the battle, but this did not diminish his charm at all. Instead, it made him look even more ferocious like a beast. Wild charm. The other man was dressed elegantly and elegantly. Although he was young, he already exuded the aura of an upper-class noble. His manners and etiquette were perfect. Just standing there seemed to be a sculpture carefully crafted by an artist. An unreal beauty.
It seems that the two people are completely opposite in terms of temperament and style, but they are attracted to each other like twins of destiny and are connected together.
Several female mages stopped and watched. One of the women with long hair whispered a few words in the ear of her companion, and kept pushing the other person () for 3.s., and was The encouraging girl blushed and refused to move.
Gelkate and Croseid didn't notice that they were now the object of others' attention. Gelkate just smiled in surprise that the vice-president of the Black Stone Circle actually asked him to borrow money! ? Will the sun rise from the west tomorrow? In my own impression, Closide has always been a man who is not short of money. He has a unique vision and is never stingy in investing. The amount of money he spends each time is so large that the Free City Several chamber of commerce giants feel a little overwhelmed. Why did Croside want to borrow money from him today? Could it be that? Gelkate guessed in a wicked way and asked, "When did you start running out of money? Could it be that your chamber of commerce went bankrupt?" If this is the case, you can find a good job in my mercenary group in the future."
"It's still a long time before bankruptcy. It's just that a big 'investment' recently made the Chamber of Commerce a little short of funds, or I want to buy something very expensive┉┉" Croside also had some helplessness, Olihakon I really don't want to give up.
"What the hell? Even the crowns of some small country kings are not as expensive as those from your Chamber of Commerce."
"Where's Orihakon?"
Gerkat suddenly fell silent when he heard the name. Except for blacksmiths, every warrior who desires to stand out has heard of this magical metal of Orihakon. In many myths, legends and knight stories, those who defeated enemies and demons The protagonist is holding a weapon made by Orihakon. In the eyes of ordinary people, Orihaakon may be equated with an artifact. Not only is every craftsman eager to obtain Orihaakon to create an eternal masterpiece. equipment. Countless warriors dream of getting a weapon or armor made by Orihakon. Let your name be passed down forever with this weapon. Gerkat shrugged: "Are you kidding me? If Orihakon really wants to be put up for auction, the Holy See and the Holy Capital will buy it at any cost. Last time Orihakondu appeared in the auction house in the Free City. It was six years ago, and the quantity sold was as big as half my fist.”
At this point, Gerkat made a gesture to show the pitiful size of the Orihacon metal at that time. But Olihakon, which was as big as half a fist, sold for a sky-high price of 135 million liens. The purchaser at that time was the Holy See. After the purchase price was announced, a wave of tomb robberies started on the mainland. Driven by greed, countless people are frantically searching for the tomb of Overlord Garserik, for the sword of Overlord Garserik that is rumored to be made entirely of Orihakon.
Unfortunately, the search for so long was all in vain, and some tomb robbers who sneaked into Carthène and Creses were caught and sentenced to hanging.
"Hehe~ Believe it or not. In short, I am indeed short of funds now. Although there is still a lot of liquidity in the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, these funds must maintain the normal operation of the chamber of commerce and cannot be used. If you are willing to help me, If so, I will return the entire auction price to you and add 10% interest. What do you think?" Croside didn't expect Gelkate to believe it, after all, the White Dragon King took out Orihakon. When I received the reward, I couldn’t believe it was true.
"Write me an IOU!" Gerkat said casually and turned around to return to the room.
Closide smiled knowingly, this is an IOU worth seven to eight hundred million lien┉┉But this is Gerkat's character, he is free and easy, no matter what he does, it is completely determined by his own mood. of unrestrained. It is not true to say that he has no desire at all. He lacks the goal of living. It is like a deliberately crafted sharp blade that was randomly thrown into a strange world by its creator. He has no idea what he should do. And live.
"By the way, Gelkate, I also want to ask you something." Croseid suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Gelkate's shoulders to signal him not to leave yet.
"What's up!"
"Last time after the elves in the Kingdom of Karut rioted and fled into the Misfortune, those slave merchants hired you to lead the mercenary group to capture them, right?"
Gelkate nodded and didn't know why Closide asked this.
Croseid collected his thoughts and said, "Among the elves you captured, is there a little elf girl named Elsa?"
"Elsa?" Gelkate rolled her eyes at Croside: "I'm sorry~ I'm not interested in memorizing the names of these elves one by one. If you want to buy elves, you can go to the slave merchants. I think they should still be there. Not sold out.”
"That little girl is the sister of the leader of that elf team┉┉Do you have any impression?".
As soon as Closide said these words, Gerkat immediately frowned. After seeing the change in Gerkat's expression, Closide already knew it.
"I wanted to buy that girl, and you handed her over to that slave trader~ Is it Phillibos?".
The Philiberts mentioned by Closider is a figure who is almost on par with Lawrence in the Free City. At the same time, he is also synonymous with evil in the hearts of many people on the mainland. Philiberts is the largest slave trader in the Free City. It can be said that he The number of slaves he owned was enough to form a small country. Philibos, who made his fortune by selling slaves, had his own manors and workshops in many places on the continent. Countless slaves died tragically every year due to bloody oppression and exploitation. In his hands, it can be said that every gold coin he holds is stained with the blood of slaves.
And it is precisely because of this that Felibos has made so many enemies. I don’t know how many people want to kill this demon in human skin. The Holy Capital in the western part of the continent has rebuked Felibos’ actions more than once. , and strictly prohibited any industry under Philipposmo from entering the west. Likewise, Philippos was also the biggest supporter of the anti-Holy Capital forces in the Western Continent!
If it's Felibos, I'm afraid he'll have to work hard! Not only did Felibus think about how to get the person the Dragon King wanted from Felibus, but maybe even if he was too soft, he could occasionally be a little tougher.
"Why did you buy that girl?"
"I want to please the Holy Capital!" Croseid made up a reason. The final destination of the fleeing elves is the Western Holy Capital. Since the leader's sister has arrived in the Holy Capital and received the protection of the Supreme God, how can Returning someone else's lost sister will definitely gain the favor of the Holy City. It will be much easier for the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, which has never engaged in human trafficking, to enter the western region of the mainland for development.
Gerkate looked like he suddenly understood, but said helplessly: "It seems that someone's intention may be the same as yours, but I don't think he went back to please the Holy City. Maybe it was for other reasons┉┉"
"Who did you give that girl to?" Croseid suddenly felt an ominous feeling in his heart.
"I sold her!"
"sold!"
As soon as Gelkate said this, Closide suddenly became worried. If this girl was really sold to a noble, she might have been defiled and humiliated. Of course, if she was lucky, she would be sold With a kind-hearted noble, this elf girl might be able to live a better life.
Gelkate smiled helplessly: "Others are willing to pay 10 million Lien to buy her, do you think I can not sell her~"
"Who did you sell it to?"
Ten million Lien to buy an elf girl! Croside could only think of a handful of nobles who were willing to pay such a large amount of money to buy a female slave, and one of them included the idiot prince Silvado from the Kingdom of Belrama.
The corners of Gelkate's mouth twitched: "The transaction didn't say that I wanted to keep it secret... In that case, I'll tell you, which big customer you were competing with Lawrence some time ago is the buyer."
The prince of the Kalsemmen Empire—Augusta Brannis! !
Croside suddenly felt happy. If Augusta had bought that elf girl, that girl must be still alive and well. Augusta himself is a person with a strong self-esteem. He maintains his identity and never uses force on women, which will only make others plead with him in turn. As long as the elf girl insists on not obeying Augusta, then the prince will not touch her. She paused, but Croside's brows suddenly frowned. Augusta's willingness to spend ten million on this girl definitely couldn't be because he liked her beauty, and he must use it for other purposes. This way it won't be that easy to get Elsa back from him.
