The Amber Sword: Act 44 The Underground Transaction of Bruglas (Part 2)
Chapter 44: Bruglas Underground Trading (Part 2)
The Space inside the auction house in Maria Market is not large, it is like a small theater with dim light. The rows of chairs around the central "stage" are trapezoidal, but these are the seats for general guests. Surrounding the 'theater' walls, the big boxes decorated with silk and satin are next to each other. There are three floors. The box has an brass telescope mounted on a mahogany shelf for the convenience of nobles. A product in the center of the table.
Cripple has a way to book a box for Brando, but youngster refused. He didn't come to attract attention, as far as participation was concerned, just to see if there were any unexpected gains.
A group of people picked up the numbers at the entrance, and then seated in pairs. Although the Brando is easy on the surface, in fact, a bursting crossbow is tied at any time under his Knight dress. The cursed crossbow Ya-gun made by Tamar is pressed down in the box in case of emergencies.
The Vaunde's crossbow is a precise and ingenious device. Its sight is like a standing box. It is difficult for a novice to use this small thing flexibly. However, Brando's [Mercenary] profession equips him with the Skill of 'Familiar Weapons'. The knowledge generated by Skill in his mind allows him to use this sophisticated weapon -- like a sophisticated Mercenary. He even made a simple aiming device on the ring. In order to calibrate in actual shooting.
Brando has just sat down. The trade fair has not yet begun. After disguise, Cripple wearing a long cloak came to their side and sat down. Cripple carefully looked around, and then replied: "Sir, the poisoned dagger and those potion have been sold. -- daggers have been fancy by the people in the Brotherhood. You can rest assured that their make a move is very generous, a dagger of two thousand Five hundred Tor, without asking the seller. "
In underground transactions, not every transaction is concluded at an auction. In fact, most transactions are done in private. Sellers and buyers reach transactions through intermediaries such as Cripple. -- sometimes even has several intermediaries. This is both secure and hidden. -- only needs to pay a small sum for the intermediary as compensation and The sealing fee is sufficient.
In grey area of Bruglas, no one has a bigger mouth, and no one has a stricter mouth than these people. Everything is relative.
"What about potion?" Brando pretended that the staff on the table below arranged, but asked irrelevant things in his mouth. He knows the rules of the underground trade fairs, such as poisonous daggers and mana potion, which are fake magical item. Generally, they are not on the table.
"potion is a bit more troublesome. The person in charge of Tower of the Stars and Moons has been questioning the producers of these potions. They seem to mean that the production method of mana potion already has a long a period of time and -- has not been circulated outside. wizard Guild welcomes the professional Alchemist to settle in. '"Cripple said while watching the look of Brando's with small eyes.
He wants to see how Brando reacts. If youngster finds this information useful, he may not praise him for two sentences. -- makes him feel more secure whenever he becomes more stable in the other party's group.
If Brando is troublesome, Cripple will feel a revenge. Although he and the other party can be said to be on the same boat, in addition to taboos and fears, he also has a slight reluctance.
It's just that Cripple doesn't necessarily have the same idea as Amandina. He looks at Brando, hoping to develop with the other side, but faintly wants to see the latter unlucky.
But Brando just shook his head and replied without a trace: "My friend is not interested in this, you can just talk about the transaction situation, Cripple."
It seems he is not wrong. mana potion is indeed much rarer in this world than in Amber Sword.
"Each Tor per bottle potion, a total of 30,000 Tor." Cripple did not show his disappointment in his face.
Brando nodded, the price of the dagger was 25% higher than he expected, and the price of mana potion far exceeded his imagination. -- Evening Primrose, Black Wizard and Fluorescent Moss are just ordinary. Magic materials, according to this price, the profit of one bottle mana potion exceeds 200%.
This is a huge profit.
He immediately classified this thing as a long-term cash cow in his heart. Brando couldn't help but look back at Romaine. If mana is used as a brand, it seems that it is not impossible for small Little Romaine to build a Merchant Union.
Of course, our Romaine Young Lady noticed Brando's's eyes. She couldn't help but raise Yang Xiaoeyebrow, her hands folded on her chest, and praised unreservedly: "One hundred thousand half, oh Brando, like you said Same thing! I knew Brando would work! "
"The good show is still behind, Romaine Young Lady." Ciel sat behind Brando and replied with a smile.
"No, Ciel, you may be misunderstood! Our miss merchant is just to remind me that this 100,000 Tor is her principal forget it/that's all." Brando said on the table below, without changing his face.
Miss merchant seems to be in the middle of it, but he doesn't feel embarrassed at all, but looks like a little fox who has taken advantage of it, and smiles with a smug smug cover on his mouth.
The Amandina next to Ciel saw this scene and couldn't help but raise the eyebrow lightly. She was born in noble family, and the cash of tens of thousands of Tor is not unhandled. But it's impossible to talk about things like Brando and Romaine.
After all, her family was once considered rich, but that's all.
So this scene fell in her eyes, but confirmed from the side that although the young Knight-Thane went out alone, it must be that his family will not be simple.
However, the noble young lady is obviously wrong. -- Romaine is not a concept at all. Brando has handled hundreds of millions of money in game. These petty tricks are naturally not in his eyes. --, but insist that he has any background. That's not to say.
The lights in the 'Amphitheater' are suddenly dimmed. The group turned around, and noticed that the staff around them extinguished the torches on the four walls of half. It seems that the trade fair is about to start --.
Cripple said in a low voice, "If it's in the box, the list of auctions should be sent to those noble. Lord, do you have anything you want?"
"I don't know yet."
Brando watched the light on the central stage light up: "Speaking of them, have they troubled you since then?"
Cripple shook his head: "As you expected, it was a well-known thing that you and Mr. Batum coerced me to go to Squirrel Street that day. Afterwards, people from Tirste came to me and I said that I didn't know you -- "
"It sounds like you're not happy?" Batum teased aside.
"Don't dare." Cripple already now understands the status of Batum, and naturally he is not as low as before. He took a look at the table below and broke the topic: "Speaking of Lord Thane, what is the psychological price of your sword, in my opinion it is a perfect work of art."
Brando knows that he is talking about a brass Magic weapon made with a dwarven sword. He thought about it and estimated: "At least 100,000 to 150,000 Tor."
As soon as his voice fell, the Amandina at the back gave a ‘ah' lightly. Everyone was stunned, and when I looked back, I saw the damsel blushing and waving his hand: "Hug, sorry, it doesn't matter."
She couldn't help but gently press one's own's chest to prevent her heart from beating too fast. The girl's light blue eyes flickered with a bright and witty light. -- 150 thousand Tor is 150 small Aouine gold coins. As Adviser is -- that understands the financial status of Brando's. It can be said that when they came in, they were still empty-handed. In the blink of an eye, there is a fortune that can be comparable to some small noble lifetime savings.
200,000 Tor, it is not impossible to buy a knight's shire in a remote country.
In the eyes of a girl born in noble family who has a fixed mind, Amandina, the funds should be invested in the reproduction of further in order to be called mobile Wealth. She was so addicted to the design of one's own that she lost money. Family property, but after all, a smart person cannot make the same mistake twice in the same place.
She quickly calculated what 200,000 Tor can do. With so much money, whether it is engaged in business activities or upward development seems to be an open road, she expects that with such a sum of money, she can add 30% of its value within a year at the shortest.
But then she was frowned. She recommended herself as Brando's Adviser. This young Knight did not object, but it would be hard to say whether the other party would let her arbitrarily spend such a large sum of money.
But Brando saw the changing look on the face of this new subordinate of one's own and couldn't help asking: "Amandina Young Lady?"
"What?" Amandina, raises head.
"Are you thinking about our funding?" Brando asked.
Amandina's face turned red slightly, but it resumed as usual. The girl nodded earnestly and replied: "Yes, as your Adviser, sir. I think I need to consider this issue --"
She said, but she looked at Romaine with little confidence. After all, as a nominal fiancee of Brando, she seemed to have a greater say in this regard.
But this miss merchant smiled and was as sweet as ever.
Brando heard a thoughtful look after listening. He looked at the others before answering: "If you have an idea, I will divide the money into two, you , Romaine, you can use one's own ideas to spend these funds, but -- "
Before he finished speaking, Amandina showed an incredible look: "Mr. Knight, are you serious?"
Brando nodded as a matter of course. This is his habit of being Commander in Amber Sword. He has always used people to doubt -- or to examine a person's ability through laissez-faire.
Girl breathed in, nodded earnestly: "I will definitely make good use of this money for you, Mr. Knight, I already think of a plan to increase the value of this money in a short time ..."
Brando interrupted her and said: "No, I'm giving you this money, I want to tell you. I'll give it to the little Little Romaine to help me make money, and Amandina Young Lady, I want you to help me use the money --"
"Use money?" Amandina froze.
At this time, the bell of the following trade fair ding ding rang, Brando turned back and replied: "You will soon understand, of course, if Amandina Young Lady is interested, it may be helpful to refer to our Miss merchant , She has a big plan next! "
Brando first thinks of the territories. If a small Little Romaine establishes an Merchant Union, it is not appropriate to associate it with the territories. If so, he needs a housekeeper.
Now that Amandina volunteers, he is happy to enjoy it.
"Big plan?" Amandina froze, she couldn't think of any plan for 'Miss merchant' that seemed to be full of energy all day. -- To be honest, Brando has to give the heavy responsibility of making money to such a person. ojou-sama She still wants to discourage, but it is not easy to plug in the words for a while.
But she immediately let go of this thought, because suddenly she remembered something.
The girl's eyes lightened slightly, and she immediately linked the Miss merchant's haunting talk about the Bruglas's holding of ceremonies over the past few days. -- She almost sorted out the whole thing from the details The general outline of things.
She thought for a while, and whispered, and asked Ciel, "Mr. Ciel, where are the Madara's army before you enter the city?"
"It has been almost half a month to stop in the Drago region," Ciel replied casually, and he immediately asked, "Do you think of it? Amandina Young Lady?"
The apprentice wizard can't help but be a bit surprised, just to deduce the cause and effect of the whole thing in just one sentence. It seems that the Adviser that Lord Thane is looking for is really not ordinary people.
"If the plan of Romaine Young Lady works, the profit is at least 80% of Ah––!." Amandina couldn't help but looked at the miss merchant that talked to Brando and smiled, as if he knew the other side of the other party for the first time.
"Romaine Young Lady used to calculate twice." Ciel replied.
"That ’s because the channel hasn't been calculated. --" Amandina secretly gritted his teeth, feeling a little hit with confidence. She thought about it and said seriously, "But if we work hard, because Mr. Cripple is here, even if it is 10%, it is not impossible ..."
Of course, the Brando of the previous did not notice the whisper of the two subordinates of one's own, because at this moment the highlight of the underground trade fair -- auction already kicked off. What he did not expect was that the first product caused Took his interest.
The sheepskin scroll, which is flatly placed under the light, writes an ancient contract in the language of the four elements. Its four corners curl slightly upwards, because the Mana of the four elements of wind, ground, fire, and water drove the margin of this mana scroll to the center.
This scroll, its existence is to open the road to Elementalist for those with poor talent. Many noble use such things to open the door to the Magic world for the children of the one's own family.
There is no doubt that it is valuable.
But for Brando at the moment, this thing is more expensive than gold.
Because in his eyes, it has only one name:
‘Elemental Pool opens scroll’
