Chapter 6 Gaining the Mysterious Orbs

走在贵族专属通道上,维林所在的车队畅通无阻.比起现在通道拥挤的情况,速度要快很多倍.

 

就在这时,一位商人站在车顶上,向 Velin 和他的一行人挥手.

 

看到这一幕,维林挥手叫停车队,拍拍马屁股靠在上面,一脸严肃,问道:"这个商人,你怎么了?

 

"阁下,请原谅我的冒犯."商人急忙下车,跪在地上,告诉了维林.

 

通道上的其他人看到这一幕,纷纷低下头向前走去,无视.

 

你越不理会这些事情,你就越安全,也不会被贵族激怒.

 

"我原谅你的粗鲁."维林很好奇,但他对商人说时脸上依然平静.

 

"大人,谢谢您的好意."商人从地上站起来,继续说道:"这个名字很丑,我冒昧地向你挥手,希望能加入你的舰队.

 

维林向侧面看了一眼,发现商人的车队有八辆马车.以他的身份,他可以免除 20 辆马车的城市税.

 

在这个世界上,除非你强大到无视世界的规则,否则你只能在贵族面前谦卑.

 

"那么,你愿意付出什么代价?"

 

商人闻言,一脸欣喜,连忙道:"大人,只要您帮忙,我就可以为您提供两个优质的半精灵.

 

"半精灵?"听到这三个字,Velin皱起了眉头.

 

以利亚王国的东南边界与一个半精灵王国接壤.它很强大,比以利亚王国稍微强大一些.所以,王国明明禁止捕捉和贩卖半精灵.

 

然而,法规就是法规,仍然有很多人为了利润而冒险.

 

显然,他面前的商人就是这样的人.

 

此外,来自世界各地的众多贵族也参与其中,形成了一条巨大的产业链.

 

皇室对这种情况视而不见,暗中命令各省征收重税以牟利.

 

商人察觉到薇林的脸色变了,以为对方对价格不满意,立刻准备加价.

 

但还没等他说话,Verlin就第一个开口了:"我对你提供的半精灵不感兴趣吗?

 

"My lord, it's a small offense. I'm willing to give you..." The merchant wiped the sweat from his forehead.

 

"Listen, Merchant," Velin interrupted him unceremoniously and said, "If you have something that interests me, I can let you join my motorcade and avoid the high city tax."

 

According to the customs of the major cities of the Kingdom of Elijah, the semi-elf entry tax is generally 10% of the total value of the slave.

 

After hearing this, the merchant showed a painful look on his face. He looked back at his motorcade, gritted his teeth, took out two balls from his arms, and respectfully handed them to Verin: "Your Excellency, this is something I accidentally got. I hope you can appreciate it.

 

Velin took the two round balls from the merchant's hand and slowly injected fighting qi. There was a slight reaction, but he quickly regained his calm.

 

Although the reaction was small, he still noticed it.

 

From the merchant's expression, it could be seen that the value of this item was not small, but it was still necessary to extort a sum of money. After all, the money of slave merchants should not be wasted.

 

"Merchant, you can join my fleet, but you still need a thousand gold coins to get this opportunity."

 

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

 

The merchant looked excited and took out ten 100 gold vouchers from his pocket. They were issued by the Royal Bank of the Kingdom of Elijah, and they were engraved with miniature magic arrays and special imprints to distinguish between true and false.

 

Velin took it in his hand, examined it carefully, put it in his pocket with the two balls, and drove the red phosphorus horse out of here.

 

Seeing this, the merchant hurriedly ordered his men to follow behind the Velin motorcade, pass through the noble passage, and go to the city gate.

 

The officer at the entrance of the provincial city of Xihe Province looked at the flag of the Aix family's eagle on the Verin carriage, waved his hand to stop the city guards from checking and let them pass.

 

"My lord, this slave trader has eight carriages, at least more than 30 half-elves. If the city tax is charged, it will be at least 3,000 gold coins." The clerk on the side looked at the Velin motorcade passing by and asked in puzzlement.

 

"Do you think I don't want to?" The city gate official patted the secretary's head and said angrily, "That's the eagle flag of the Aix family, not a little nobleman who can be bullied at will. It represents one of the five major forces in West River Province. Do I dare to collect taxes?"

 

"My lord, I was greedy."

 

The clerk hurriedly admitted his mistake and did not dare to defend himself.

 

After entering the provincial capital of Xihe Province, Weilin looked at the bustling streets around and refreshed his three views.

 

After living in Windsor Castle for 18 years, he didn't go out much, and since he was not an heir, his family would not force him to engage in social activities. He was also happy to be idle and developed a lazy character.

 

On both sides of the street, there are all kinds of shops, magic scrolls, magic sticks, magic crystals, flesh and blood of fierce beasts, etc.

 

"Lord, are we going to rest in the provincial capital for a few days?" Baird, the captain of the knight guard, walked forward and asked Verin.

 

"No, it's not too late to go directly to the teleportation formation and go to the provincial capital of Karrod Province, the border province of the Gray Glow Wilderness, to rest."

 

Velin waved his hand and signaled for the motorcade to follow, not preparing to stop in the provincial capital of Xihe Province.

 

He had already made a budget. Staying in the provincial capital for one night would cost at least 100 gold coins, which could buy at least two serfs.

 

In the early days of his career, the province had to save.

 

After two hours, Velin brought his motorcade to a huge building.

 

A middle-aged man wearing a mage robe walked forward and saluted Velin: "Gui'an, Sir."

 

"Gui'an, Your Excellency." Velin performed a standard noble etiquette, "My motorcade needs to be teleported, and the destination is the provincial capital of the border province of Karrod."

 

"Please wait a moment."

 

Afterwards, the mage greeted the two mage apprentices, went forward to check, recorded the information on the white paper, and made an estimate.

 

Five minutes later, the middle-aged mage handed a piece of paper full of information to Velin.

 

"Sir, this is the estimated cost. According to the power enjoyed by the Aix family, you only need to pay 80% of the cost."

 

"Thanks a lot."

 

Velin glanced at it briefly and found that the teaching fee he had to pay was 6,000 gold coins. After thanking the middle-aged mage, he brought people through the inspection of the magic array and entered the giant building.

 

Velin handed over his red phosphorus horse to Orlando and went to the charging location not far away with a golden ticket of 10,000 gold coins.

 

The red-haired woman sitting at the charging point looked at Velin, put away her lazy side, and sat upright.

 

"Madam, this is the bill."

 

Velin handed the paper that the middle-aged mage gave him to the red-haired woman, and then took out the eagle badge representing the Aix family and placed it in front of her.

 

After the red-haired woman went through a process, Velin handed her the golden ticket of 10,000 gold coins.

 

"My lord, I don't know if you want gold coins or gold tickets."

 

Faced with the red-haired woman's question, Verlin thought for a while and replied, "Five thousand gold coins, two hundred gold coins."

 

"Please wait a moment."

 

The red-haired woman entered a string of messages on a magical instrument, which resembled the mobile phone of her previous life, which made him very familiar.

 

Finally, Velin walked towards his motorcade with five thousand gold coins and a beautiful cloth bag of two hundred gold coins.
