Chapter 370: Analysis of the Merchant Council
The scene then turned to a bloody mountain. Two people rode on two horses, plus a giant dragon ghost fell from the sky, opened the magic barrier, and went deep into the dragon's nest.
The mountains of Nubao inside made these members of the Sambian Business Council jealous.
But what happened next was even more horrifying. The shadow of the warrior seemed to come to life and turned into a terrifying shadow monster. Not only did it swallow the giant dragon ghost in one mouthful, it also swallowed the mountain of Nu. The treasure was swallowed up.
They finally knew how the red dragon's nest was emptied.
From beginning to end, this image perspective is candid.
The warrior who could control the shadow obviously had a terrifying sense of perception. He seemed to have noticed something and glanced at the location of the candid photo.
Then the sound of panicked running footsteps sounded, and everything stopped from then on.
The entire merchant council did not discuss any more this time, but fell into silence.
Because this matter is beyond their knowledge.
No one recognized what kind of spell the other party used, which could swallow up a giant dragon ghost and a mountain of gold coins.
People are always in awe of the unknown.
Odus's voice sounded slowly again: "This is what happened. Everyone, let's talk about it. What do you think about this matter?"
"I I feel that our treatment of the Vizeme Manor this time is a bit too tough, which is inconsistent with our past behavior. We should try a few more times to get this manor from him through money. . ”
“Stop thinking about how to buy the Wezeme Manor. Haven’t you seen the fact clearly that the young man named Gavin has advanced business thinking and is very close to Lei Jia? This bold move of cooperating with Na's opera singer is not something ordinary people can do. Do you think they have tasted the benefits and will terminate this cooperation?
No, absolutely not, they will only get bigger and bigger.
Under this kind of operation, even ordinary wine can be sold for three or four times its original price.
And I have reason to suspect that they may have mastered the craft of making ghost wine.
No, originally I was just doubting it, but now I am 100% sure. ”
A loud voice, a generous and powerful way.
Odus's eyes fell on the tall man and asked curiously: "Congressman Candrick, why are you so sure?"
"Because of the shadow he manipulated, you guys didn't notice that shadow. Is it similar to the same thing?" Senator Candrick did not answer directly, but asked a question.
This question made all the members of the Merchant Parliament think deeply.
"Manor, that shadow looks like a manor."
"Yes, I also think about it, it does look very much like the shadow cast by a manor on the ground."
Many members of Congress shouted.
“I can guarantee that it is Vizeme Manor!” Candrick said with an extremely sure tone, “It is not as simple as turning into a ghost manor, but becoming an extraordinary mage tower. , and has a connection with the owner. If we want to seize a strange mage tower with an owner without knowing its roots and background, it will be difficult for us not to suffer a loss. "
Hiss...
A gasp sounded in the auditorium.
Kandrick's guess is really amazing.
But there is no denying its rationality.
Because only in this way can we clearly explain the difference of Vizeme Manor.
Only can explain a series of unusual things.
Robbing an estate is one thing.
Robbing a mage tower is another matter.
Even if they grab it, they don't dare to go in and live there.
Who knows what kind of dark and dangerous mechanisms are hidden inside, and you may lose your life if you are not careful.
Well, even if it is not the Mage Tower, no one dares to live in it now because it is now a haunted manor.
In Sambia, there are always ten or eight cases every year of wealthy businessmen dying in haunted manors, ghost castles or evil spirits' residences.
Only a handful of people are interested in this, and most of them are deeply wary of this kind of place.
This is why there are so many ghost manors or ghost castles in the surrounding valleys. They don't follow Gavin's example and go to recover them. Instead, they spend a lot of money and effort to build their own manors and castles bit by bit. --Safety.
The fear of death is not a disease unique to Odus, but a common problem among most people.
Especially those with money and power, they are more afraid of death than ordinary people. A glimmer of light flashed in Odus' cloudy eyes as he stared at Candrick. He seemed surprised that the other party had made such a conjecture, and then asked: "Congressman Candrick, it is for this reason that you think they can mass-produce ghosts." Wine? "
"Yes." Candrick nodded, "I once asked a priest who is good at guiding negative energy to try it. It is much more difficult to artificially create ghost wine than expected. What’s even more difficult is that it’s not as simple as directing negative energy into wine.
If you do this, you will only get a bottle of rancid evil water, which will cause intestinal ulcers if you drink it, instead of a ghost wine with unique effects. "
Kendric's eyes swept over the other members of the Business Council, "Don't tell me that you haven't done this kind of test. "
"Indeed, the production of ghost wine is by no means as simple as the injection of negative energy. There may be mysteries and techniques that we have not mastered. "
"But I have carefully studied the emergence of ghost wine, and it seems to have appeared out of thin air. Sir Colonfer is just a well-known wine merchant. He should be able to produce crystal wine with unique quality. It was the limit of his ability, he didn't have the ability to make ghost wine, especially in large quantities. "
"Ghost wine appeared with the recapture of Vizeme Manor. The half-elf named Gavin should be the lucky one who ate ready-made food instead of making it by himself, so The key to ghost wines is Chateau Vizeme. ”
"According to normal people's thinking, if a manor is recovered, a priest or a paladin should be hired as soon as possible to completely purify the manor. However, the new manor owner still went the other way even though he had a good relationship with the Hammer of Light. Continue to build the ghost name of the manor, and even open it to the public, allowing others to enter and visit.
I think there is an ulterior motive here. After thinking about it, I can only think about it. The most reasonable and understandable explanation is that it is used to produce ghost wine. Only when the place remains eerie and full of negative energy can ghost wine be produced in large quantities. I think Senator Candrick is based on this. Reason, guess the reason why they have mass production of ghost wine."
"Hiss...you mean, imitation of ghost wine. It’s not that easy. In a short period of time, it will still be the exclusive product of Vizeme Manor? If this is the case, the value of Vizeme Manor is far greater than we imagined.
It can produce at least two pieces every year. Ten thousand bottles of ghost wine, even after the market price stabilizes, can sell at least 150 bottles of Nubao if it monopolizes the market, with an annual output value of 3 million. This is a company with thousands of The total annual output value of horse-drawn carriages and large caravans with tens of thousands of employees."
"I heard that a few adults are sending people to look for similar ghost manors and ghost castles, and are actively stocking up on wine. Don’t you want to simulate the original loss of Vizeme Manor, see if you can create ghost wine, and study the process and secrets of its production? ”
"So what? Don't you want to master the production method of this precious magic wine?"
"Of course I want to, but I'm afraid that this method will take a long time. By the time you study it, the production method of Vizeme Manor The ghost wines have already taken over the entire market share If it is occupied, what you produce cannot be sold at all."
"Congressman Arrigo, why do I feel that there is something wrong with your words?"
"We were only considering the Vizeme Manor. I forgot about the issue of home-grown wine, If this kind of wine does not have a unique production process, but is caused by magical changes in the external environment, they do not have to use their own wine, they can eat wine from the outside for processing.
I heard that at this ghost wine auction, the other party took the opportunity to consume as many as 50,000 bottles of ordinary wine. Once it is transformed into ghost wine, who can tell whether this wine is produced by Vizeme or another estate? Produced? In other words, who will distinguish? ”
"Fifty thousand? Hiss, hiss... This quantity is too astonishing. Once all the transformations are completed and put into the market, it will have a fatal impact on the price. The market for this kind of magic wine is relatively narrow, and those who can afford it, Just a special group of people.
The 10,000 bottles flowing into the market are enough for the entire market to digest for a year and a half, not to mention that these ghost wines are not all produced by the Vizeme Manor. It is said that Lord Ilmet and the Hammer of Light Biandu has been allocated thousands of them. It is estimated that the inventory at the manor is even higher. "Monopoly! This is a shameless monopoly! We must break this monopoly! The Vizeme Estate must not be in the hands of one person, but in the hands of a group like our merchant council." !”
“That’s right, That's exactly what it should be!"
Candrick said angrily: "What time is it now? Are you still thinking about other people's properties? We have nothing to do with each other!”
"Has our Lord Candrick's knighthood addiction struck again? If we don't care about the property of Wezeme Manor, what are we doing here? At this time, we might as well sleep at home with our lover and wife in our arms!"< br>
“Is it because the other party showed a little bit of different curiosity? Are you afraid of Chang’s strength? Are you ready to let it go?”
“Have you come up with a better strategy?”
After the initial shock, the members of the Merchant Council gradually regained their composure.
It's not like they haven't seen strong winds and waves before, but the other party's performance was too unexpected, and it didn't really scare them back.
If they were completely frightened to death because of a nine-ring spell and a young dragon being killed, Sambia would have fallen apart long ago.
In other words, don’t do anything else and just be your own businessman.
After a period of discussion, they further determined the short-term uniqueness of Vizeme Manor and its potential huge commercial value.
Although they are looking for a corresponding replacement, let’s not say whether it is easy to find it or not. Even if they find it, whether they can replicate the special characteristics of Vizeme Manor is still a big problem.
In the end it only served to increase their covetousness for the Vizeme estate.
Odus' eyes were still on Candrick and he continued to ask: "Congressman Candrick, what do you think we should do next?"
Kandrick thought about it. He replied unwillingly: "Stop all stupid hostilities, we should follow the original plan Like that, follow the legal procedures with the other party and put pressure on Lord Ilmet. After all, Sir Colonfell’s purchase agreement was signed with him, and he is responsible for ensuring our interests in the Battle Valley.”
In the Sambia Business Council, they can only pretend to be impartial and impartial, but there is no real impartiality.
If that were the case, he should not be here, but go to the monastery to be a paladin.
Candrick just disagrees with the other members of the Merchant Parliament in terms of his conduct, but it does not mean that he is on Gavin's side.
