The Azure Longsword

Chapter 281: In the city

Views:

The gate of Innsbruck.

Last time, everyone came in a hurry and didn't look around carefully.

Now it seems that there are too many buildings near the outskirts of the city, the roads are very crowded, and there is even a simple large market in the distance... So, is it necessary to build a market outside the city? If we really consider the flow of people, it must be more suitable in the city, right

Considering the information Medea had provided, everyone became more and more suspicious that something was wrong in the city.

The Earl's men were naturally already waiting near the city gate. With the arrival of the Cangqing Sword group, someone soon went to report the news to the Earl.

About ten minutes later, Count Innsbruck came on foot accompanied by his guards - it seemed that he had been staying not far away.

"It is indeed seven pieces of extraordinary characteristics." The Earl's men checked the spoils of the Blue Sword, "The level is correct."

"It looks like you won the bet." The Earl said, his face showing no sign of joy or anger. "Alfred called a few minutes ago and they just dealt with the other side's extraordinary people. Three of them died."

His eyes swept over the girls, finally stopping at Eleanor: "As for you, you obviously completed the task earlier, and none of you were even injured."

"The bet is yours." The count waved his hand, and his men immediately handed over an envelope - inside was a brand new Venetian printed banknote, smelling of ink.

"Thank you." Ask said politely, handing the envelope of banknotes to Nora to count. "In addition, we also want to sell extraordinary characteristics."

"Okay." The Earl nodded, "Go talk to my cabinet butler."

After finishing the gambling, Count Innsbruck left in a hurry. His butler came forward and said skillfully:

"Do you understand the market situation? If it is a supernatural characteristic that can be analyzed, the price will be calculated separately; if it cannot be analyzed, it will be purchased at a unified price according to the spiritual level. Of course, there will be a certain discount. Please forgive me."

"Of course, the features we sell have already been analyzed." Ask said, waving his hand to release Medea - a professional negotiation expert.

So the negotiation ended quickly after more than ten minutes. The Earl's steward's original expression of indifference disappeared completely, and he just kept wiping the sweat with a handkerchief.

The red-haired woman on the other side was so powerful that she always caught the loopholes in his words, leaving him at a loss for words to fight back, but her reasons for raising the price were impeccable. Every time the two sides exchanged words, he felt like a stutterer with a clumsy tongue, and was almost defeated by the other party's verbal offensive.

The final price was exactly what the Count wanted... It was so horrible!

After the payment and the goods were paid, the Earl's butler looked extremely unhappy. He was just wondering if he was not in a good state recently and needed to ask the Earl for a leave to adjust, when he heard Medea ask casually:

"By the way, we want to go into the city to resupply. Where are the markets and inns in the city?"

"If you just need supplies, there are inns and markets outside the city that can meet your needs." The butler smiled calmly.

"It's not safe outside the city," said Medea.

"The Earl has strengthened the security management outside the city, and there will be guards patrolling at night." The butler still avoided the question.
