Chapter 874: Pre-Order

Du Dian didn't joke with Losick. When he set off the next day, Losick exchanged all the rare gems, gold coins, antiques and other valuables in the small vault into royal gold tickets, and emptied out all the money houses in the territory. There are still a lot of agate, emerald, famous carvings, and rare antiques left in the inventory, and they are packed and put on the carriage, ready to be hauled to the capital together.

Of course, Losik was reluctant to part with the wealth he had accumulated over the years, but he didn't expect Du Dian to directly dismantle his small treasury, and check his account books, revealing his old background, if it wasn't for the There are not many stocks in the bank, and it is estimated that Du Dian can sell his manor as a mortgage.

After raising money in just one day, and setting off early the next morning, Du Dian and Losick sat in the same carriage, one with a sad face and the other with a calm expression, leaning against the window leisurely, admiring the scenery along the way.

From time to time, Du Dian talked to Hai Lisa about the scenery outside. Hai Lisa didn't say much and remained silent. This strange situation naturally attracted Losick's attention, but he tactfully didn't ask much.

Du Dian controlled the heat in his body to the level of ordinary pioneers, neither high nor low. If it was too low, he would follow Losick as him, but it would be more eye-catching. This time he entered the royal capital banquet, and he acted as Losick personal bodyguard.

"How many lords are there at this banquet?"

"My lord, there are probably forty or fifty, but I don't know how many can come."

"What are you doing with so many lords?"

"This is a banquet held by Lord Rose. It is said that there is some important matter to discuss. I don't know. I will know when I go."

Du Dian chatted with Losick from time to time and asked about the situation in the capital. In a blink of an eye, one day passed. They set off in the morning and arrived at the capital at sunset. They stayed in the carriage all day and passed four or five territories on the way. , but Losik showed his identity, the journey was smooth, and he had lunch in one of the territories.

Du Dian also gradually understood that although these lords competed with each other for resources and each other's territories, and fought all the year round, there were also some territories that cooperated with each other and had trade exchanges, and many of them formed alliances to resist other lords together. The territory is the lord who is allied with Losick. In this alliance of lords, Losick is only a member, not the leader.

It would only take two or three hours if they went straight from Losik's territory to the capital, but they wasted a lot of time today by bypassing the hostile lord's territory.

Du Dian didn't have a deep understanding of the situation among these lords. Looking at the towering city wall in front of him, he was shocked by the king's capital in front of him. The height of the city wall was two to three hundred meters, which was more than half the height of the wall of sighs. The Wall of Sighs is used to isolate the inner and outer areas, and this is just a city wall. In his impression, apart from the huge wall, this is the tallest city wall he has ever seen. If it is an ordinary person, it will be more difficult to look up. shocked.

Du Dian looked at it for a while, then withdrew his gaze, and watched the convoy slowly driving into the capital with a trace of dignity in his heart.

"My lord, the banquet will be held at the Taylor Hotel tomorrow night. How about we rent a hotel nearby to rest tonight?" Losik seemed to relax a lot after entering the capital, not as tense as before, and smiled at Du Dian .

Du Dian looked at the dim sky outside, pondered for a while, and said: "While there is still some time, you let the butler lead the team to find a good hotel first, and take me to the temple."

He had asked on the way here that the temple would not close until 8:30 in the evening, which was still early.

Losik didn't expect Du Dian to be so impatient, smiled bitterly, and said, "My lord, is this a bit too urgent, why don't we go tomorrow?"

"Right now." Du Dian said decisively.

Seeing that he couldn't change Du Dian's mind, Losik sighed in his heart and said, "That's all right, I'll tell the butler right now."

After a while, Losick finished explaining the matter to the butler, and did not forget to tell him, "If you see them, say hello to them for me, and just say that I have something to do.

"

The butler promised.

Du Dian knew that the "they" he was referring to were several other good lords. They said they were better, but they were actually slightly stronger than Losick, so Losick was unwilling to neglect these people easily.

After explaining the matter, Losik ordered the coachman to leave the convoy and drive towards the temple.

After entering the capital, Du Dian felt like he had come to Sylvia's royal city, with extremely clean streets, bustling shops and a large number of tourists, but the styles of the two cities were quite different. Sylvia has never seen it before. Secondly, on the side of the road, I often see some bards performing arts, surrounded by many audiences, and some down-and-out musicians playing musical instruments, performing arts on the street. You can see it on the street, and you can hear one or two melodies floating into the car from time to time.

In addition to these, the architectural style of the roadside is also somewhat different from Sylvia's. The walls are mainly gold, which looks extremely luxurious, while Sylvia is mainly black and dark red, which is relatively deep.

The two huge walls are roughly the same, but have different cultures.

While Du Dian was looking at it, Losick suddenly said: "My lord, the temple is here."

Du Dian came back to his senses, turned his head and saw that on the other side of the street, there was a clean step with dozens of steps. Behind the steps was a temple with a golden wall. Outside the temple were two extremely beautiful angels. The outline of the cheek is perfect, Du Dian glanced at it, and a thought came to his mind, could this angel sculpture be carved out of imitation of Rage God?

He took a look, and seeing Losik get off the carriage to invite, he led Hailisha out of the carriage, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I didn't expect the temple to be so close to the city gate."

Losik laughed and said, "My lord, there are several temples in the royal capital. This is a branch of the temple, but if you want to inquire about any news, you can find it here."

Du Dian nodded, and went up the steps with Losick. At the other end of the steps, three or two people came up one after another. They were wearing armor and had extraordinary temperament. They seemed to be here to do business in the temple.

Losik has long been familiar with this, and led Du Dian to the front of the temple, and took the initiative to help Du Dian push the revolving door and walked in.

The inside of the temple is golden, and it is a bit modest to say that it is resplendent, as if the whole temple is made of gold. Du Dian glanced at it and felt in his heart that this temple is really rich.

There are many people standing in the hall of the temple, which is a bit similar to a bank. There are four or five counters, and there are queues outside.

Du Dian was about to queue up, Luo Xi held Du Dian, smiled and said: "My lord, let's go to the VIP room and take a rest by the way."

Du Dian raised his eyebrows, and suddenly realized that although he didn't like Losik, the latter was a moderate lord anyway, and his status was much higher than that of ordinary people.

Losik led Du Dian and Hai Lisa to a room next to the hall. There was a desk in the room, and an old man in a dark red priest's robe sat behind him, drinking coffee, and saw Losick and Du Dian come in , immediately put down the coffee, stood up and said, "This is the VIP room, who are you two?"

Losik raised his hand, and in his hand was a medal with the same pattern as the flag on his manor.

There was a gleam in the old man's eyes, he nodded and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Lord Losik, who has known his name for a long time, please sit down."

Losik immediately asked Du Dian and Hailisa to sit down together. Du Dian looked around, his eyes gradually became a little dignified. Everything here was so similar to the old bank. He thought the temple was extremely sacred. , I didn't expect it to be programmed like an office. Is this intentional or unintentional? You must know that there may be a monster research institute behind this temple, but the headquarters of the monster research institute is in the Kingdom of God. In the hands of a few big men in the Kingdom of God!

Seeing Du Dian meditating silently, Losik naturally did not expect the young man beside him to fly to the distant kingdom of God just because of the environment in front of him. He coughed lightly and said to the old priest: "I want to pre-order" and pray By". "

A look of surprise flashed in the old priest's eyes, he glanced at him, and said, "The Invoker is at the top of the list of legendary monsters, and it is very valuable, Lord Losick, are you really planning to buy it? "

As a person who specializes in serving VIPs, the old priest naturally knows about the various lords, otherwise it would be impossible to tell his name based on Losik's family crest. Although he may not remember his appearance, Losick's name He had already memorized all the information about him. He didn't expect that with Losick's financial resources, he would actually plan to buy Invoker. Could it be that he was planning to put all his eggs in one basket?

Thinking of the hostile lords that Losick faced, the elder priest's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Losick calmly.

"That's what it means." Losick said, "Can I buy it?"

The old priest nodded, "You can buy it, but you also know the value of the supplicant. Let me say more. Instead of buying the supplicant, it is better to buy other legendary magic marks. You can buy ten. Although the supplicant has great potential, but In the same class, it is impossible to fight ten against one, and if you want to buy a supplicant, you have to take out your lord's title deed and lord's contract."

Hearing that he mentioned the lord's contract, Losick felt a pain in his heart. Buying supplicants is not only something you can buy with money, but also half of your lord's contract and a lot of territory. Once you sign the lord's contract, his The area of ​​the territory will not change, but his rights will shrink by half, or even be completely replaced by the temple in the end.

Du Di looked at Losick quietly. He knew the conditions for purchasing the supplicant. The so-called lord's contract was equivalent to allowing the temple to take a stake in Losick's territory, and the shares were equivalent to 49%. Ke still holds the power of execution and management, but the temple only needs to use some small tricks to easily take Losik's territory into its pocket.

Therefore, ordinary small and medium lords are unwilling to buy supplicants and sign such unequal treaties with the temple.

Only a big lord with a large territory and centralized power can be able to play with the temple and not be taken away by the temple.

Relying on the sale of magic marks, the temple holds the lifeblood of all the lords, so it can be called the uncrowned king!

"I am willing." Although Losick had been mentally prepared, he still felt a burst of collapse and colic after saying these three words. After the matter was over, Du Dian patted his ass and left, but the remaining troubles, But he had to deal with it himself. Even if Du Dian didn't deal with him, his life would not be easy. However, he had no choice but to accept it.

The old priest glanced at him, said without saying anything, "Then you should pay the deposit first, do you have the title deed?"

"This is a deposit of 100,000 gold coins. This is a land deed." Losick has long been prepared. The 100,000 gold coins are a thick stack of gold tickets, which is equivalent to the annual income of his territory, and this is only a deposit. , still need to pay 900,000 gold coins!

A supplicant, worth a million gold coins, can almost empty Losick's family.

Seeing that Losick was ready, the old priest didn't say anything. He took out the documents from the drawer and helped Losick complete the pre-order procedures. When going through the formalities, a lot of documents were required. During the process, the old priest called several groups of people, including the master of the temple, who came to the scene in person and pressed his fingerprints as a witness.

Half an hour later, the procedure was finally completed.

The old priest exhaled, smiled, and said, "My lord, you can just go back and wait now. We will notify you of the result by email in ten days."

Losik forced a smile, put away the formalities, turned to Du Dian and said, "Let's go."

Du Dian sat on the sidelines and kept watching with cold eyes. Seeing that the purchase of the supplicant was done, he said, "Don't forget about the ice worm." Compared with buying the supplicant, he now cares more about the ice worm.

In Losick's description, he always had a guess in his mind, could the crystal desolate worm he met in the earth dragon cave of the Amelie tribe be the extreme ice worm?

Although the latter is a wild worm, Losik did not say that the extreme ice worm has no other abilities, but it has extremely pure ice energy, and the crystal worm froze the flames at the beginning, and that method has surpassed The concept of ice couldn't be answered with his scientific knowledge. Apart from being too big, this thing completely fits the image of the ice worm in his mind.

Hearing Du Dian's words, Losik came to his senses, slapped his head, and hurriedly turned his head to the old priest and said, "I want to know about the ice worms in the lower pole, such as their appearance and living habits."

The old priest froze for a moment. He looked at Du Dian on the side, and then at Losik. He thought Du Dian was the guard of Losik. Now, it seems that Du Dian has a higher status?

He took a slight look at Du Dian. He didn't remember that there was such a number one person, but there were many big people he hadn't seen before, so he didn't think too much about it. He nodded and said, "No problem, I'll find it for you."

"Thank you." Losick immediately thanked.

There was a strange look in Du Dian's eyes. He didn't expect the old priest to be so direct and didn't make any demands at all.

After thinking about it, he slowly felt relieved. Maybe the temple doesn't care about revealing the information of the ice worm. Once it is obtained by a lord like Losick, it will be a good thing. Maybe Losick will sell it to them directly, even if it doesn't Selling, most of them secretly pay attention to Losick's movements, once Losick can get it, it is not difficult to snatch it from him.

This is equivalent to a free reward, so naturally there is no need to hide it.
