Act 44 Underground Dealing in Braggs (Part 2) (4,300 Words in This Chapter)
The internal space of the auction house in the Asian market is not large, and the cave is like a meter. A small theater. Around the "stage" in the center, rows of chairs are distributed upward in a trapezoidal shape, but these are the seats for ordinary guests. Surrounding the "theater", on the four walls, the boxes decorated with silk and satin for the big shots are distributed one after another. . There are three floors in total. There is a brass telescope mounted on a mahogany shelf in the box to facilitate the nobles to carefully examine the goods in the center of the table.
Zhengzi finally found a way to reserve a box for Brando, but the young man refused. The purpose of his coming was not to attract attention. As for participation, it was secondary. He just came to see if there were any unexpected gains.
The group of people received their numbers at the entrance, and then took their seats one by one. Although Brando appears relaxed, in fact he always has a repeating hand crossbow tied under his knight's uniform, and the cursed crossbow made by Tamar is loaded with live ammunition in the box. Awaiting emergencies.
Warnd's hand crossbow is a precise and ingenious instrument. Its sight is like a standing box, and it is difficult for novices to use this small thing flexibly. However, Brando's profession as a mercenary soldier gives him the skill of "familiarity with weapons." The knowledge generated by this skill in his mind allows him to use this exquisite weapon like a seasoned mercenary. He even wears it on the ring. Made a simple aiming device to calibrate during actual shooting
Brando had just sat down, and the trade fair had not yet started. After being disguised and wearing a long cloak, the newspaper came to sit next to them. Zhengzi looked around carefully, and then replied: "Sir, the poison-quenching dagger and those potions have been sold. The dagger has been taken aback by the Brotherhood. Don't worry. They are very generous, a dagger costs two thousand and five thousand." Baitol did not ask the seller."
In underground transactions, not every transaction is concluded on the auction floor. In fact, most transactions are completed privately. Sellers and buyers reach transactions through intermediaries such as Baozi. Sometimes there are even several intermediaries. This is safe and private. You only need to pay a small sum of money to the intermediary as a reward and Just hush money.
In the gray realm of Bragg, no one has a louder mouth than these people, and no one has a tighter mouth than these people. Everything is relative.
"Where's the potion?" Brando pretended to be arranged by the staff on the table below, but he asked about irrelevant things. He knew the rules of the underground trade fair. Items labeled with pseudo-magic such as poison-quenching daggers and mana potions were generally not put on the table.
"Potions are a little more troublesome. The person in charge of the Tower of Stars and Moon has been questioning the makers of these potions. They seem to mean that the method of making mana potions has not been circulated outside for a long time. Here is what they said: "The Wizards Guild welcomes professional alchemists to settle in." Zhengzi said, paying attention to Brando's expression with his small eyes.
He wanted to see Brando's reaction. If the young man found this information useful, he would probably praise him twice. Whenever his position in the other group became more stable, it would make him feel more at ease.
If Brando feels that the problem is difficult, Zhengzi will feel a sense of revenge. Although he and the other party can be said to be in the same boat, apart from taboos and fear, there is also a trace of unwillingness.
It's just that Masako may not have the same idea as Antitina. He looked at Brando, hoping to follow him in getting rich, but also vaguely wanted to see the latter suffer misfortune.
But Brando just shook his head and replied without any trace: "My friend is not interested in this. You should just talk about the transaction directly, kneel down."
It seems that he was right. Mana potions are indeed much rarer in this world than in "Amber Sword."
"Each bottle of potion has one thousand Thors, totaling 30,000 Thors." Masako did not show his disappointment on his face.
Brando nodded, the price of the dagger was 25% higher than he expected. The price of mana potions was also far higher than he imagined. Evening primrose, black mage and fluorescent moss were just very common magic materials.
But at this price, the profit from a bottle of mana potion exceeds 200%.
This is simply a huge profit.
He immediately classified this thing in his mind as a long-term cash cow. Brando couldn't help but look back at Roman. If Mana Potion was used as a brand, it seemed that it was not impossible for little Roman to establish a chamber of commerce.
Of course, our Miss Roman noticed Brando's gaze. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and praised without reservation: "Half of a hundred thousand, Brando, just like You said the same thing! I knew Brando would be able to do it!"
"The fun is yet to come, Miss Roman." Charles sat down behind Brando and replied with a smile.
"No, Charles, you may have misunderstood! Our business lady just wanted to remind me that this hundred thousand Thor is her principal." Brando looked at the table below and said without changing his expression.
The business lady seemed to have been told something that was on her mind, but she didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she covered her mouth and chuckled like a little fox who had taken advantage.
Antitina, who was next to Ciel behind, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly when she saw this scene. She was born in a noble family, and it was not like she had never handled tens of thousands of Thors in cash. However, it is impossible for Brando and Roman to talk and laugh so freely without taking things seriously.
After all, although her family was once considered well-off, it was nothing more than that.
Therefore, this scene fell into her eyes, but it confirmed from the side that although this young knight lord went out to work alone, his family background must not be simple.
However, this rich lady obviously misunderstood that Roman had no idea at all. Brando had handled millions of money in the game, so naturally he didn't take these petty troubles into consideration. But if he insisted on saying that he It's impossible to say what background there is.
The lights inside the amphitheater suddenly dimmed. The group of people turned around and noticed that the staff around them had half extinguished the torches on the four walls. It looks like the trade fair is about to start
Chizi lowered his voice and said, "If we were in the box, then the auction list would have been sent to the nobles. Sir, is there anything you want?"
"Don't know yet."
Brando watched the light on the central stage light up: "Speaking of which, did they give you any trouble after that?"
Pacer shook his head: "As you expected, it was common knowledge that you and Mr. Bottom forced me to go to Gray Squirrel Street that day. Afterwards, Test's people came to see me, and I just pretended that I didn't know them. you"
"It sounds like you're unhappy?" Bottom teased.
"I don't dare." Zhengzi now understands Bottom's status clearly, and is naturally not as humble as before in front of him. He looked at the table below and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Lord, what is the psychological price of your sword? In my opinion, it is really a perfect work of art." Gangjiujiuyang... 8 Yu Shu'ao has a different body! Keng knew that he was talking about the brass-level magic martial arts sword made of a dwarf sword. He thought for a moment and estimated: "At least 100,000 to 150,000 Thor.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, Antisena behind him said softly, "Ah," everyone was stunned. When they turned around, they saw the noble daughter blushing and waving her hands: "Hug, sorry, it's okay." . "
She couldn't help but press her chest gently to prevent her heart from beating too fast. The girl's light blue eyes shone with a bright and witty light. Fifteen thousand Thors is one hundred and fifty small gold coins of Eruin. As an aide, she knew Brando's financial situation. It can be said that they came in empty-handed. , I didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, I would have a fortune comparable to the life savings of some small nobles.
It is not impossible to buy a knight's collar in a remote countryside for two hundred thousand Thor.
In the view of Antiochina, a girl who was born in an aristocratic family and has a stable mind, funds should be invested in further reproduction before they can be called liquid wealth. In the past, she was so obsessed with her own designs that she He lost his family fortune, but after all, a smart person cannot make the same mistake twice in the same place.
She quickly calculated what 200,000 Thor could do. With so much money. Whether it is to engage in business activities or to develop upwards, it seems to be an open road. She predicts that with such a sum of money, she can increase its value by 30% in the shortest year.
But then she frowned again. She recommended herself as Brando's staff. The young knight had no objection, but it was hard to say whether the other party would let her do whatever she wanted with such a large sum of money.
But Brando saw the changing expression on his new subordinate's face, and couldn't help but ask: "Miss Antisuna?"
"What?" Antisuna was stunned and raised her head.
"Are you considering our funding issues?" Brando asked. Antisuna's face blushed slightly, but then returned to normal. The girl nodded seriously. He replied: "Yes, as your staff, sir. I think I need to consider this aspect."
While she was talking, she looked at Roman without confidence. After all, as Brando's nominal fiancée, she seemed to have more say in this aspect.
But the business lady was smiling as sweetly as ever.
After Brando listened, he looked thoughtful. He looked at the others and then replied: "If you have any ideas, I will divide the money into two, and you will have one share." ,"
Before he finished speaking, Antitina looked in disbelief: "Mr. Knight, are you serious?"
Brando nodded naturally. This was his habit of being the leader of the "Amber Sword." He always used people without doubt, or in other words, tested a person's ability through laissez-faire.
The girl took a breath and nodded seriously: "I will definitely make good use of this money for you, Mr. Knight. I have thought of a plan that can increase the value of this fund in a short time."
Brando interrupted her and said: "No, I give you this money to tell you. I leave it to little Roman to help me make money, and Miss Antitina. I want you to help me use the money."
"With money?" Antitina was stunned.
At this time, the bells of the trade fair below rang. Brando turned around and replied: "You will understand soon, of course. If Miss Antitina is interested, she might as well help us." For reference, the business lady, she has a big plan next!"
Brando's first thought was about the territory. If Roman Jr. established a chamber of commerce, it would not be suitable to be directly connected with the territory. If so, he would need a steward.
Now that Antitona has volunteered, he is happy to sit back and enjoy the results.
"Big plan?" Antishuna was stunned. She really couldn't think of this "business lady" who seemed to be full of energy all day long. What kind of plan would there be? To be honest, Brando would give the important task of making money to such a person. There is a young lady who still wants to dissuade her, but it's just not easy to get in the middle of the conversation at the moment.
But she immediately put it down because she suddenly remembered something.
The girl's eyes lit up slightly, and she immediately connected the things that the business lady had been pestering her to tell her about the festivals held in Prague over the past few days. She almost immediately sorted out the whole thing from the details. The general outline of.
She thought about it carefully, turned her head and asked Charles in a low voice: "Mr. Charles, where was Madara's army before you entered the city?"
"It has been almost half a month since we stopped in the Dragos area," Ciel replied casually. He was startled and immediately asked: "Have you thought of it? Miss Antitina?"
The wizard apprentice couldn't help but be a little surprised. He could deduce the cause and effect of the whole thing from just one sentence. It seemed that the aide the Lord hired was really not an ordinary person.
"If Miss Roman's plan works, the profit will be at least 80% or more!" Antiochina couldn't help but look at the smiling businesswoman who was talking to Brando in front of her, as if she recognized another side of her for the first time. .
"Miss Roman calculated twice as much before," Charles replied.
"That's probably because I haven't calculated the channels." Antitina gritted her teeth secretly, feeling that her confidence was a little bit shaken. She thought for a while and said seriously: "But if we work hard, because Mr. Masako is here, it is not impossible to achieve 100%."
Brando in front certainly didn't notice the whispers of his two subordinates, because at this moment, the auction, the highlight of the underground fair, had begun. What he didn't expect was that the first item caused a stir. his interest.
The parchment scroll lay flat under the light. There is a small ancient contract written on it in the elemental language of the four races. Its four corners are slightly curled upward. It's because the magic power of the four elements of Feng Shui drives the edge of this mana scroll to bend towards Feng Yang.
This scroll exists to open the way for those with poor talent to become elementalists. Many nobles use such things to open the door to the magical world for their family children.
There is no doubt that it is worth a fortune.
But for Brando at this moment, this thing is more expensive than a thousand pieces of gold.
Because in his eyes, it has only one name:
"The elemental pool opens the scroll,
