Chapter 1283
"Wokri, this damn scum, idiot, actually tried to rob others of their universal cores. This thing is indeed very valuable, but using this method will definitely make the Gilded Rose unhappy. Now that the Gilded Rose has come, what should we do?"
"Damn it, the conflict between the Rodney family and the Gilded Rose before was that the Rodney family retreated without a word. The strength of the Gilded Rose is far more terrifying than we imagined, and I heard that the controller of the Gilded Rose, Mafa Merlin, is a very domineering person. If things go wrong, our Carter family will be in trouble..."
"Notify that idiot Walkri to come here immediately. If this matter is not explained, our Carter family may be in big trouble..."
Wokri came to the Elders' Council and faced a group of stinky-faced elders without any nervousness. He just took out five million purple gold coins and threw them on the table in the conference room.
All of them were purple gold coins, five million, piled up like a small mountain. A group of stinky-faced elders were stunned. They had never seen such a large pile of purple gold coins in their lives.
The Carter family is not an alchemy family, but a pure magic family. The family's industry can barely support the family's research on magic, and even the resources obtained by each person are far from enough. Among the younger generations of the family, there are only three talented younger generations who can get enough resources every year...
Five million purple gold coins are enough for a heavenly strongman to tailor a true spirit magic weapon for himself, although it is not a very good true spirit magic weapon...
Looking at the astonished expressions of a group of elders, Walker smiled complacently.
"Did you see that? How many purple gold coins does our family earn in a year? Thirty million? If all the people in the family use these thirty million purple gold coins, how much can each person get?
These five million purple gold coins are half of what I earned in three days. Who among you can do it? Of course, I am a member of the family. After I have money, I will definitely think about the family.
Second elder, you said that you are a heavenly-level strongman, but there are only two true spirit magic weapons in total, and you have to count your staff. And they seem to be low-level true spirit magic weapons, right?
These five million purple gold coins, everyone will share, second elder, you take one million first, get some good materials, and find a better alchemist to upgrade your magic weapon. And the first elder..."
Worrick said a lot of things with great enthusiasm, without any requirements, just to give money, five elders, five million, each person can get one million, for the Carter family, one person getting one million is a huge sum of money.
And Warwick said that this was earned in three days. Everyone knows how he made money...
Warrick left after giving the money. The five elders looked at each other, looking at the purple gold coins that were like a small mountain, and still couldn't hold back their greed...
The second elder who was most in need of money swallowed hard.
"Wokri finally understood things and knew to give back to the family. Not bad, not bad..."
"Well, not bad. Although Wokri likes to make trouble a little, he is still a member of our family after all. And he is also an important heaven-level strongman..."
"What should we do with the people from the Gilded Rose?"
"What else can we do? Wokri didn't go to the Gilded Rose to make trouble. It was just a normal transaction. Those people were willing to sell it. No one can say anything. Besides, maybe those people wanted to blackmail Wokri. After selling it, they felt that the money was too little, so they spread rumors everywhere..."
"That's right. Although Wokri liked to make trouble before, he is much more sensible now. How could he do such a thing..."
A day later, Farrow's face turned pale after listening to the report.
"You said, the people of the Carter family said that it was a normal transaction, but the seller wanted to blackmail them, so they were taught a lesson.
All of them were bought for 90,000 purple gold coins, but someone spread rumors to ruin the reputation of the Carter family?
What about those sellers? What about those people who were forced to buy and sell by Vokri?
What? Only three were found, and the rest were unknown. The people who found them also said that they were sold to Vokri for 90,000 purple gold coins?
Is the Carter family going to be an enemy of our Gilded Rose?"
Faro's breathing became rapid with anger, magic surged, and a strong wind surged around his body. Now he didn't know how to deal with it.
The Carter family insisted that this was the truth, and in Rig City, it was too easy for the Carter family to shut up those sellers. The hard bones disappeared completely...
Gilded Rose is just an alchemy shop. After earning purple gold coins, the buyer left the door, and it had nothing to do with Gilded Rose, and Gilded Rose couldn't do anything, unless it was at the door of Gilded Rose.
After the buyer disappeared, even if he was robbed or killed by someone, it had nothing to do with Gilded Rose.
Moreover, the one who did it was a Heavenly Rank expert. No other methods would work. Should we send a Heavenly Rank expert to guard there?
Don’t be ridiculous. Even if the Carter Family had ten courages, they would not dare to attack Gilded Rose directly. But would everyone who came to Gilded Rose to buy the universal core be escorted by a Heavenly Rank expert?
Even if we don’t send Heavenly Rank experts, we should send a Gilded Rose expert to escort everyone. Does Gilded Rose have so many people? And will it still do business?
If this goes on, will anyone dare to buy things at Gilded Rose? I took out the money here, and it was robbed just a few steps out of Gilded Rose. Those with less luck might be killed directly.
And that was just a branch, far inferior to the 18 connected main stores in Neverwinter City. It was impossible to put too much effort into a branch. Moreover, Gilded Rose was not rich enough to put a Heavenly Rank expert in a branch...
But now was the best time for Gilded Rose to expand. Branches were tentacles that stretched out. If the branch in Rig City was abolished, the other branches would not be far from being abolished. The Carter Family, a family of at most middle-level strength, dared to do this to Gilded Rose, and they only beat them after they were done. If they engage in verbal wars, then other families will naturally dare to do the same...
When this happens in all the cities where the branches are located, the Gilded Rose can only close those branches. If it fails to handle this matter well, the Gilded Rose will no longer be able to open branches...
And without deterrence, but with a lot of wealth, the number of people who dare to bite off the fresh flesh and blood of the Gilded Rose may suddenly increase...
But if a tough attitude is taken in this matter, directly accusing the Carter family, or even directly killing that Vokri, the Gilded Rose will appear too domineering again. Maybe it will be disliked by the local families in the Odin Kingdom, and if things go wrong, several powerful noble families will jump out to cause trouble for the Gilded Rose...
This series of consequences, no matter what, is very unfavorable to the Gilded Rose. In the final analysis, it is all because the Gilded Rose is an outsider...
Faro had a headache and could only send two more powerful ninth-level titled wizards to Rig City, and even sent five thirty-nine-level alchemy puppets as protection for the Gilded Rose.
Someone was watching. Even if we don't escort those customers who come to the Gilded Rose, this at least expresses an attitude. At least the people of the Carter family should be more restrained...
But three days later, the Gilded Rose has a new batch of universal cores, and the new report of Rig City has been delivered...
Looking at the new report, Farrow's face is completely black. More than a dozen people were forced to buy and sell. The one with the highest bid only gave one thousand purple gold coins, and the rest were almost five or six hundred purple gold coins...
The person who made the move was Walker from the Carter family...
Farrow looked at the report. A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
I really underestimated their greed. I didn't expect that when someone from the Gilded Rose came forward, the other party would dare to say that this matter had nothing to do with the Gilded Rose. The 80,000 purple gold coins were bought from the Gilded Rose, and in less than three minutes, it was snatched away by someone with 500 purple gold coins...
They didn't even give the Gilded Rose face. These guys are crazy...
Turning into the Gilded Rose, Farrow could only send Lefort to Rig City. After all, there was a strong man of the second level of the Heavenly Rank, whose strength was comparable to the peak of the second level of the Heavenly Rank, guarding it. Only in this way can we ensure that there will be no problems.
But Lefort went to Rig City in person, but still did not stop this kind of thing. When Lefort was there, there was no such thing in the Gilded Rose Week. But as long as those people with no background bought the universal core and left the range that Lefort could detect, something would happen...
There was even one time when Lefort chased a guy who used all his wealth to buy the universal core and was ready to make a small profit. This guy was secretly taken care of by Lefort, and nothing happened. But more than ten minutes later, another store not far from the Gilded Rose branch had an accident, and people were beaten to death...
In less than a week, various rumors began to appear. Other stores also saw people who bought universal cores being robbed. Some of these people used low prices to force people to buy and sell, and some simply robbed people.
After several such incidents, rumors began to appear, which led to a slight downward trend in the sales of the Gilded Rose branch, which was constantly rising.
Many people would rather go further to buy things at the Gilded Rose in Neverwinter than to buy things at the Gilded Rose branch in their own city...
This trend is happening more and more frequently, and there are even rumors that the supply of Gilded Rose is scarce, so after selling, they send people to kill the buyers immediately, and then take back the Universal Core to rinse and sell it back. Otherwise, how could it be robbed just a few minutes after leaving the Gilded Rose? What else could it be except that the Gilded Rose did it? If it wasn't done by the Gilded Rose, why didn't the Gilded Rose react at all...
Various rumors began to appear slowly, until a branch of the Gilded Rose was attacked, and the matter spread completely.
Although the people who attacked the Gilded Rose were just some brainless robbers and were all killed on the spot, this incident opened a very bad beginning...
It seems that some people think that the Gilded Rose is easy to bully. It has huge wealth, but it is easy to bully. This matter is a bit troublesome...
Faro sent a large number of alchemical puppets to various branches, and even sent titled wizards and sword masters to the branches, but it seems that the rumors are getting stronger and stronger, and the sales speed of the universal core in Rig City has also begun to slow down rapidly. From the beginning, the new goods were sold out on the same day, and now it has been more than two days. It has already explained the problem.
Moreover, the robbers in Rig City are getting more and more rampant. Lefort has never caught Walker and even bit Lefort after another incident. There are a lot of witnesses who said that Walker never left when the incident happened...
It seemed that the situation was getting out of control. If it continued like this, not only would the expansion plan of the Gilded Rose be scrapped, but it would even encounter all kinds of troubles.
A message was sent to Lin Yun who was doing research, and soon, Lin Yun came out of the alchemy laboratory in the demiplane.
After listening to Faro's recent events, Lin Yun's brows slightly frowned.
"Lord Merlin. If this continues, the branch of Gilded Rose will have to be closed, otherwise it will seriously affect the reputation of Gilded Rose, and the branch expansion plan will have to be stopped.
If the branch in Rig City is to continue to operate, it will be indispensable to the support of the Carter family, one of the best families in the local area. At the beginning, that Vokri was just forcing the sale, and we, Gilded Rose, had no position to take action. As an alchemy shop, the place we can control is the inside and the vicinity of the store.
When this happened, coupled with the Carter family's refusal to admit it, and there was no one to prove it, we could only keep negotiating.
There are many people who were forced to buy and sell, but most of them are from Rig City. None of them dared to offend the Carter family.
But if this continues, other branches will not be able to bear it..."
Lin Yun nodded.
"Okay, I will handle this matter, you have done a good job."
Lin Yun's face was a little ugly. Gilded Rose is not from the Kingdom of Odin, and has no good connection with the top forces of the Kingdom of Odin, especially the nobles who control most of the top forces of the Kingdom of Odin.
Gilded Rose only relied on its powerful alchemy strength to enter the Kingdom of Odin. It was not because Faro had operated so well in the past six months that it was able to open a store in Neverwinter. It was not because it had opened up all the relationships. The main reason was that Star Academy spoke first, so other people did not refuse Star Academy's face and had a little relationship with Gilded Rose.
But this relationship is not close at all. It's just to show off to others...
There were so many people watching the Rodney family's affairs before, but no one stood up to say a word. The Rodney family suddenly became timid, and everyone felt that Gilded Rose seemed to have some strength, but that was all. After all, the main reason was that Wilder of the Rodney family was still alive. This was the explanation for the strength of Gilded Rose, which was not too strong. Otherwise, why didn't they dare to kill Wilder?
Lin Yun led his people away from Neverwinter, and was also thinking about how to deal with this matter best. Looking at the large amount of information sorted out by Faro, Lin Yun's mouth slowly revealed a smile.
Since the matter has become a big deal, we can't just overthrow the Carter family, nor can we let it develop, so we should just incorporate the Carter family. It just so happens that the Gilded Rose now needs some forces to rely on. A local force in the Kingdom of Odin, although not very strong, is also a good start.
This Carter family is just a pure magic family. The family actually only has a small plane with not rich resources, and it seems to be an elemental plane. It's really bleak. A family with a heavenly-level powerhouse actually only controls this small plane, and the family has no alchemy inheritance. The alchemists they have are all low-level alchemists, who can't bring wealth to the family at all...
There is only one heavenly-level powerhouse in the family who can own a tailor-made True Spirit Magic Weapon...
Lin Yun looked at the information with a hint of disbelief on his face. As a magic family in the Kingdom of Odin, it can be described as miserable. It is really not an easy thing.
But after thinking about it, the overall strength of the Odin Kingdom is indeed stronger than Andalusia, and even stronger than the Biston Kingdom, but the gap between each wizard family is incredibly large. Even if they have the same strength, the size of their wealth may be thousands of times different...
Just like the Henry family, the overall strength of the family is not that strong, but they have a lot of money and have accumulated a lot of wealth. In addition, the family is not prosperous, and each person is allocated an outrageous amount of resources. In this way, it is a relatively easy thing to improve the overall strength of the family.
As for the Carter family, Lin Yun could no longer bear to read the miserable deeds recorded in the data room...
After arriving in Rig City, Lin Yun went directly to the Carter family and pulled out Xiuban, who was sleeping soundly in the demiplane, and asked him to watch in his branch. Anyone who saw anyone forcing the sale of gold-plated rose goods should be killed...
Lin Yun appeared in person, and the five elders of the Carter family appeared at the same time to greet him. The Carter family was a little different from other families in that the power of the family was in the hands of the five elders. The head of the family did not have much power. He was just a tool for the family to earn purple gold coins, and his strength was not even at the heavenly level...
Lin Yun walked into the meeting hall of the Carter family with a calm face. The five elders of the Carter family followed him with a little trepidation. Several people looked at each other, and everyone had worry in their eyes.
Especially the second elder, who was the first to give in to Walker, was even more trepidatious. Looking at Lin Yun, it was as if he saw a ferocious ancient beast.
Damn it, isn't it said that Mafa Merlin usually doesn't care about the Gilded Rose? Why did this guy come in person? What a scary guy. I can't sense any breath, but he gives me a dangerous feeling that I may die at any time...
It is rumored that the current head of the Rodney family, Wilder, who was at the fourth level of the Heavenly Rank and even proficient in the Rodney family's iron magic, was defeated by Mafa Merlin and has never been seen outside since then. There are even rumors that half of Wilder's body was blown up and he was almost beaten to death... (To be continued.
