"How's it going? How much money do you think you can make today?"
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the exhibition officially came to an end, and the mages in the hall gradually dispersed. Benjamin finally breathed a sigh of relief, came to the front desk, and asked Wallis who was busy doing statistics.
Although some hiccups occurred today, overall, things developed relatively smoothly. After the morning exhibition ended, the number of people who came in the afternoon was normal. In the end, the number of mages who came to watch reached more than 700, including many prominent figures. Until the moment before closing, the hall still maintained an enthusiastic atmosphere.
Benjamin was certain that after tonight, his reputation would soar like a phoenix.
However, as an essential business activity, its profitability is also worthy of attention. Therefore, there is a question now.
"Although the statistics have not been completed, we estimate that each robe can be sold for more than three hundred gold coins on average." Wallis flipped through the account book in his hand and replied, "In other words, We earned more than 20,000 gold coins in one day today."
Damn...
When Benjamin heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The material cost of each robe is only a dozen gold coins. Even if labor and his unique intellectual property are added, the final price will not exceed a hundred gold coins. However, now, after his careful packaging, the price of the robe has finally reached three hundred gold coins. This is amazing enough.
And, more importantly, their consumers embraced the price point. In other words, they can sell things so expensively in the future.
Apart from huge profits, there is no other word to describe it.
What else could he say
Got rich.
"Thank you for your hard work." Benjamin felt more satisfied than ever before. He nodded and said, "Without everyone's help, I definitely wouldn't be able to hold this exhibition. I will share part of the final income with everyone."
Wallis smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
Benjamin laughed.
He is not a person who particularly loves money. However, even the most wishless monk would not be able to help but smile when he is suddenly hit with such a large sum of money.
Of course, they still have a lot of finishing work to do before they can actually get the money.
Calculate the secret auction price of each robe, determine their ownership, and then send someone to deliver it to your door, paying the price and delivering the goods. They didn't intend to do anything shady during this process. Whoever should be photographed will be photographed. They can't leave anyone with anything to say here.
However, this tedious work can only be left to Wallis and the others.
Benjamin was still worried about two things.
The four thieves last night, and today, Master Finch made an inexplicable agreement with him.
Thinking of Master Finch who suddenly appeared today, Benjamin still feels strange. He came uninvited, left a time and place for him, and then walked around the exhibition hall and left like no one else. What on earth does he want to do
More importantly, should he keep the appointment tonight
To be honest, he is very busy right now, and his relationship with Master Finch is so delicate. Maybe it was a Hongmen Banquet, and he definitely didn’t want to go there selfishly. But the other party is still the richest mage in Freden, so it will not be good for him to let this subtle hostile relationship continue.
Moreover, he was still a little curious about what the other party was going to say to him.
With this thought in mind, he took out a mirror from his pocket.
Before escaping from Havenright, he had buried everything he had on him. While stopping at Crusad Gate, he also entrusted two mercenaries to help him retrieve these things. A few days ago, he passed by the Mercenary Association and asked about the pair of mercenaries named "Louis and Sel". Finally, people from the association brought him things.
Some blessed bullets, a cross to strengthen spiritual power, a crystal of light element...
Of course, there is also the phantom mirror in front of me from Anne's relics.
They were all things he hadn't touched in a long time, so long that he had almost forgotten them. It seemed that the two mercenaries were more reliable than he thought. After so many days, they finally delivered the things.
When he first got the things, Benjamin was a little emotional. It feels so long ago, as if the days represented by these things are already in another world. Thinking about it now, in less than a year, his life has been completely different from the beginning of time travel. He is no longer the same person he was before.
How could he have imagined that half a year later, he would lead a group of mages to work hard in a foreign country
Times go by so fast, people can only catch up desperately, there is no time to stay confused.
Closer to home, holding the mirror in his hand, Benjamin felt that one of the current problems had been solved.
This mirror can create a phantom of him that is easy to control and lifelike. He could have let the phantom go to the appointment on his behalf, and then control it in the dark. If there is any trap or a phantom attracts the enemy's attention, he can leave calmly.
In this way, he worked with others to deal with the follow-up work on the exhibition side, cleaning the site, packing up the robes, and returning the rented decorations... When the time entered late at night, and the time Master Finch said was approaching, he left The crowd, with only one person, quietly hurried past.
Benjamin was no stranger to abandoned houses on the outskirts of the city.
It was there before that he fought a great battle and destroyed the alien sect's ambition to invade this world.
When he was almost there, Benjamin took out the mirror, concentrated his mental power on it, and summoned a phantom that was exactly like himself. He quickly became familiar with the way to control the phantom, and finally, the two came to this inaccessible place in light and dark.
"Master Benjamin, you are finally here."
Finch stood there alone, as if he had been waiting for a long time. He saw Benjamin's phantom and immediately spoke.
The phantom could not speak. Benjamin saw this scene in the dark, quickly controlled the phantom, and nodded coldly.
Fortunately, faced with Benjamin's "cherishing words like gold", Finch did not find it strange, but continued: "I think there may be some misunderstandings between us."
Hearing this, Benjamin frowned.
The other party did not bring any followers. As a potion mage, his combat effectiveness is far inferior to Benjamin's. In the surrounding abandoned houses, the water element probed you, but no one ambush you. In short, Master Finch is really going to the meeting alone.
To put it bluntly, if Benjamin tried to kill him now, there would be nothing he could do.
Why is this happening
With doubts, Benjamin controlled the phantom to frown, crossed his hands, and looked like "please explain to me quickly".
After a moment of silence, Finch said: "I think the main reason for this misunderstanding is that I didn't know your identity at first. I thought you were a spy from the Kingdom of Horli and wanted to secretly corrode Finch. Redon, that’s why I warned other mages to be careful about you.”
… Yeah
Benjamin still felt weird.
Ikol wanted him under this name, but...because of this, he was secretly targeting him? He didn't think the other party was so arbitrary.
He waited for the other person to continue explaining.
However, at this point, Finch paused for a moment before continuing: "However, I now know who you are, so I will no longer be hostile to you. You are Benjamin Reese, who was framed My brother, the genius mage known as the Water Polo Demon."
