Chapter 331 Time Consignment House
Waiting outside Roland City, even many small human countries in the surrounding areas, as well as the two major races of elves and dwarves, will secretly send people to contact them.
As the carts of food were transported out, huge amounts of money and resources also flowed into the City of Plenty like running water. This has been the case since the Dark Ages. Over the past 1,300 years, the City of Plenty has I'm afraid no one can tell how much wealth he has accumulated.
Arathau inherited the position of city lord when he was twenty-four years old. Today, more than twenty years have passed. In the past twenty years, Aratho has used his shrewd mind to manage the entire City of Plenty in an orderly manner. This is an incredible thing in the eyes of many people. When Arathor inherited the position of city lord At that time, the entire City of Plenty was in chaos. The previous city lord, Old Arathor, had just passed away. A group of subordinates were busy fighting for power, making the City of Plenty like a piece of loose sand. At the same time, most of the surrounding major forces had no interest in this area. Fertile land awaits.
At that time, almost everyone was waiting to see Alasu's joke. Several surrounding city lords even made a bet on this matter. The bet was whether Alasuo could last a month in this position. At that time, I was afraid that no one could Unexpectedly, Araso not only survived this month, but also survived exceptionally well. After taking the position of city lord, Araso only did one thing, and that was to open the city gate and usher in a powerful army. The elf army, this elf army only took ten days to suppress the rebellion in Roland City, and for more than twenty years, it has always deterred the surrounding forces that were ready to move.
No one knows where this elven army came from, and no one knows why Arathor can control them. In short, it was with this elven army that Arathor secured Roland's position even though everyone was not optimistic about it. He took the position of city lord, and for the next twenty years, he firmly controlled the City of Plenty in his own hands.
These stories were all heard from Senna when Lin Li was on the road...
More than a dozen carriages entered Roland City and headed straight for the mercenary group's station. Only then did Lin Li know that the mercenary group under Senna had only been established for two weeks, and it didn't even have a decent mercenary group. There is no name, let alone the residence. Several houses were built in the northwest corner of Roland City. The most spacious one in the middle became a conference room and reception room, and the two rooms next to it were allocated for group members to rest. , of course, crowded for sure. Generally speaking, it would be good if four or five members could be assigned to a room. Even Senna, as the leader of the group, had to squeeze into a room with others.
But Senna is very confident. He believes that it will not take long for him to get out of this impoverished predicament...
Because just when he entered the door, Senna heard the young magician say to him: "Sena, if you are free in the afternoon, find a time to send these two siblings back to the city lord's palace. Remember, it’s in the name of your mercenary group. As for what you want to ask for, you can make your own decision, but don’t forget to help me get one million gold coins of food, I need to use them in exchange for something.”
The moment he heard this sentence, Senna's first reaction was, did I hear it wrong? How can this be……
What does the reward from the Lord of Arathor mean? As a Roland, how could Senna not know it? This means almost everything, whether it is money or power, as long as you can think of it, the Lord of Arathor can do it for you. Senna can't believe it in any case, there are still people in this world who would refuse such an opportunity. , this is an opportunity that everyone dreams of, and no normal person can refuse it...
But just now Senna clearly heard that the young magician named Fei Lei easily gave this opportunity to himself. Although he made a request for one million gold coins in food, in Senna's view, this It didn't count as a request at all. You must know that the person he rescued was the son of the lord of Roland City. Roland City, also known as the City of Fertility, has always been famous for its abundant food. One million gold coins of food can only fill a thousand carriages at most. , which is the annual output of ten farms, and there are hundreds of such farms on the land of Roland City.
After listening to Lin Li's words, Senna has been in a state of despair. He seems to be possessed by an evil spirit. His expression is blank and his eyes are dull. At the same time, his mind is indeed inexplicably excited. It feels like a beggar suddenly It's like getting a large amount of money. At the same time, you are worried that the money will suddenly fly away, and at the same time, you have a headache about how to spend it.
"Actually, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you want to hear it..."
"Ah?" This voice startled Senna. When he raised his head and saw that the person talking to him was the young magician who gave him the opportunity, he nodded in embarrassment: "Fery Magic Master, how dare Senna disobey..."
"No, no, no, this is not an order, just a small suggestion. In fact, I personally think it is best not to ask for money, although money is indeed very important to adventurers, and it can indeed Help you grow your mercenary group, but money is often just the icing on the cake and does not have decisive significance. If possible, you'd better ask for some privileges, such as recruiting from retired soldiers. The rights of members, such as the right to request military assistance when completing tasks. By the way, it is also a good idea to ask the city lord to send a group of instructors to help you train the members. In short, try to make your mercenary group as strong as possible... "
When Lin Li said these words, Senna had been listening quietly. Unlike before, whenever Lin Li said one sentence, he would definitely flatter him at least three times.
"To tell you something that you may not listen to, when I went to the ruins of Xiaya Town this time, I felt really bad about your group of people. They were simply unable to deal with the real danger. If you really come to City Chief Roland, A huge amount of wealth, then you are probably not far away from disaster, because you simply cannot deal with those who covet your wealth. The Qingfeng Plain is originally a world where the jungle is strong and the strong eat the strong. Only those who are strong enough can win the respect of others. I don’t want to say more, just take a look at Jason for yourself. It is no exaggeration to say that Jason today does not even have a copper coin on his body, but he can still live a relaxed and happy life in Doland. Why is this? ?Because of his strength, he and his two companions are one of the most outstanding adventure teams in the entire Doland. No one dares to ignore their existence, not even the Lord of Doland. I say Sena Group Commander, you really don’t want to have Jason’s status?”
"I think I understand, Magician Ferre..." Senna stood there for a full minute, then slowly raised his head. At this time, the expression on his face was indeed surprisingly sincere: "Thank you. guidance."
"Haha, I can't afford to give you any advice. This is just a small suggestion. As for what to do, you still have to make your own decision." After saying what he wanted to say, Lin Li seemed to put this matter aside. It was like forgetting the matter and never mentioned it again from beginning to end.
Of course, Lin Li could forget it, but Senna didn't dare to forget it.
What the young magician said just now really made him tremble with fear, even before that. He thought about using this request in exchange for a huge fortune, and also thought about using this request in exchange for huge rights, but he never thought about what he would do to keep it all after he got it. Knowing that this is the Qingfeng Plain, even Arasso's father, the dignified Lord Roland, would die inexplicably at home, let alone himself?
Lin Li glanced at the thoughtful Senna, with a satisfied smile on his face. The road had been pointed out to him. Whether he could get through it or not could only depend on his own luck.
Anyway, for me, this is just a matter of words. Even if Senna really fails to take this path, he has nothing to lose. But if he really succeeds, he will establish a powerful ice-skating team. , but it can bring you huge help. After all, the Magician’s Guild is a Magician’s Guild. There are many things that are inconvenient to do in person, so almost every Magician’s Guild will maintain a good relationship with a mercenary group. The Garros Magician Guild is like this, and the Olanna Magician Guild is also like this. Anyway, they must maintain a good relationship with a mercenary group, so the more familiar the mercenary group is, the better.
Senna was familiar with the group of people under him, but unfortunately they were still far behind in terms of strength. Let alone letting them do things for him, it was a question whether they could protect themselves with just a group of tenth-level adventurers, Lin Li thought. I think I might as well just give them the reward this time. Anyway, for me, except for that batch of food, other things are dispensable. The Lord Roland I want can't get it. Most of the things he took out were things that he didn't like, so it would be better to give them to Senna as a favor, giving him a chance to grow stronger, and at the same time, accumulate some character for himself. If he has trouble with Senna in the future, Doesn't he have the nerve to refuse?
This is a real win-win, especially for Senna. This is definitely a piece of pie falling from the sky. After getting Lin Li's promise, Senna smiled so much that he couldn't even close his mouth. He had been light-headed all morning. See you. Everyone had a creepy smile on their face, so much so that after lunch, Lin Li finally couldn't stand it anymore and coughed twice: "Commander Sena, is it time for you to go do some business?"
"Oh, yes, yes..." After hearing what Lin Li said, Senna, who had been laughing so hard that the flowers were blooming all morning, suddenly came to his senses, then quickly changed his clothes and called a carriage, taking the two sisters with him. My brother went straight to the city lord's mansion.
After Senna left, Lin Li also started to get bored. He couldn't help it. There were only a few people in the mercenary group's station, but all of them were scared to death when they saw him. He was as scared to death as if he had seen a ghost. Just say these two sentences. Zhizhiwuwu was so frightened that he thought he had done something to them. Jason, the only one who dared to say a few words to him, also had a strange look on his face. Lin Li was so annoyed that he walked around the station. After the circle, they simply called Nofeile and Uyfalusi over.
"You two, if nothing happens, just go out with me for a walk."
"Oh..." How big a deal can two undead creatures be? Of course, whatever he says is what he says...
In this way, Lin Li took a high-level vampire and a lich, and asked someone from the station to lead the way. The four of them walked onto the streets of Roland City in such a swagger. From the street, it seemed that Roland City and Doland There is no difference. They are all buildings left over from the Dark Ages, with a strong aura of high elves. Even the various areas are mostly the same. After leaving the mercenary station, about two hundred meters south, there is a It is an Adventurer's Guild where countless adventurers come and go. A street is facing the main door of the Adventurer's Guild. Both sides of the street are crowded with various shops, some selling weapons, some selling armor, and some selling magic items. , there are those selling poisons and hidden weapons... In short, almost anything that adventurers will use can be found on this street.
"Gold-plated rose?" As soon as he turned the corner, Lin Li saw this familiar name. He couldn't help but feel a little funny for a moment. It seemed that Ysela's business was indeed very big, even in Roland City, which was far away in Qingfeng Plain. He did not escape the vicious hands of the Mannes family.
"Magic Ferre, you have such a good eye..." The person who was called out by Lin Li to lead the way was probably the one who was least afraid of Lin Li among the many adventurers in the mercenary group. This guy's name was Barov, a level 10 A thief, but it is strange to say that this guy is a thief, but he does not have the wretched temperament of a thief at all. He really looks like a qualified tour guide with his pointing introduction. At this time, when he arrived at the door of the Gilded Rose, Barov He was even more frothing at the mouth and boasted: "The Gilded Rose is the best magic equipment store in Roland City. Although the price is a little more expensive, the items sold are all really good things. How about you, Magician Fei Lei?" Do you want to go in and have a look? You don’t have to worry about the price. Captain Senna knows the boss here. If you want something, the supervisor can just give him Captain Sena’s name. I guarantee that I can give you the best price..."
"..." Lin Li touched his nose. He really didn't have the nerve to attack Barov. In fact, he also had a little friendship with the boss of Gilded Rose...
Naturally, there is no need to look at the gilded roses, because no one here knows better than Lin Li that all their best things are left in Garros, and Lin Li himself is one of their biggest customers...
"By the way, Barov, besides Gilded Rose, is there any other place in Roland City where you can sell magic equipment?"
"It's hard to say..." Barov hesitated for a moment: "I can only try my luck..."
"oh?"
"It's like this, Magician Feyre. Not far ahead, there is a consignment shop that has been operating for hundreds of years. Many adventurers who are short of money like to put things there for consignment. Over time, a It’s not a small market. By the way, if the adventurers are willing, you can also sell things to them, and they will be responsible for selling them themselves..."
"..." Lin Li touched his nose again. Isn't this the legendary business that as long as you have a good vision, you can definitely make a profit without losing money - a pawn shop?
"Let's go and take a look!"
After coming to Anriel's world for so long, Ranwen Novel Network had never seen anything like a pawn shop. Lin Li couldn't help but be very interested for a moment, and hurriedly walked across the street with two undead creatures and a thief. go.
The place Barov mentioned was not too far away. After a group of four people turned around two streets, they soon saw a low building. This building was located at the corner of the street. There was a stream of people at the door. At the densely populated three-way intersection, most pedestrians coming and going would look inside. Looking from where Lin Li was, he saw a row of marble steps and two open doors. There were adventurers in groups of three or three inside the door from time to time. In and out, there are even a few strong men among them. At least from Lin Li's perspective, the strength of these people is around level 15. Although they are not as strong as Jason, they can be used in ordinary adventures. Among the people, this is definitely a rare talent.
As soon as the pedestrians walked through the door, someone warmly greeted them. This was a middle-aged man in his forties.
"Good afternoon, four distinguished guests. Is there anything I can do for you? By the way, before that, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Brooke, one of the directors of Time Consignment House. Look at the four You should look like adventurers, right? If the four of you want to increase your strength, you must have gone to the right place. Our time consignment house provides a variety of weapons, armor, and magic equipment..."
"The magic equipment is no longer needed for the time being, but my companion just lacks a weapon..." Lin Li pointed to Novel beside him: "I wonder if Mr. Brooke has anything to introduce?"
"Weapons? There are so many... so many!" The smile on Brooke's face suddenly became exaggerated. As he led everyone inside, he talked non-stop: "We just happened to have some luck these days. I bought a batch of weapons. By the way, the four of you at the Marathon Forge have heard of them, right? These weapons are the fine products produced by the Maraton Forge. What do you think? Do you want me to take you four to see them? "
"Maraton Forge?" Lin Li stopped when he heard the name, and his face suddenly darkened: "Mr. Brooke, are you kidding me? Things from Maraton Forge, It’s okay to give it to the soldiers guarding the city, but wouldn’t it be too perfunctory to give it to me as a companion? Can the equipment they forge split open the bodies of monsters and block magic attacks?”
"This..." When Lin Li asked, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He knew that this time he was probably meeting an expert. Although the weapons and armor of the Marathon Forge were famous throughout the Kingdom of France. , but I am afraid that only a few people know that his truly elite equipment is only provided to the three major guards. What he usually sells is only second-rate equipment, although it is not as bad as what the other party said. It is used by the guards defending the city, but in the hands of adventurers above level 15, it really cannot exert its due power...
But middle-aged people have rich experience after all. Although the trick was exposed on the spot, the look on his face did not appear to be panic. He just showed a bit of embarrassment and showed an apologetic smile. This was considered to have exposed the matter. As the saying goes, reach out and reach out. Without hitting the smiling person, the other person's smile was considered an apology. Lin Li naturally couldn't continue to pursue the case. Just when he was about to listen to his explanation, an unusually harsh voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Damn it, who is this bastard with such a loud tone? Even the equipment produced by the Marathon Forge can only be used by soldiers guarding the city, so I really don't know. What kind of equipment is needed to be worthy of you two? How about taking it out to open my eyes?"
"..." Lin Li stood there, stunned for ten seconds. He was really angry and funny for a moment. It had been almost a year since he came to Anriel's world, and he had made many enemies and made many enemies. Conflict, but this is the first time I have seen a guy like me who speaks up when there is injustice on the road...
No...not the first time...
As soon as Lin Li turned around, he knew he was wrong.
Behind him is a young man in his twenties. He looks chubby, short and fat. He is wearing a shining silver armor. He has taken off his helmet and is holding it with his right hand. From a distance, it looks like a big winter melon is taking a small winter melon out for a walk...
"Damn it, it turns out it's you, you bastard!" Before Lin Li could say anything, Rasorik on the other side of UU Readingwww.uukanshu.net was already shouting like a butcher: "Okay, okay, I said Why can't I find you in Doland? It turns out you are hiding in Roland City. Why, you also know how powerful your uncle Rasolik is, so you knew how to hide first? Let me tell you, hiding is useless. You...you guys, arrest this bastard!"
While Rathoric shouted for his followers at the top of his lungs, he quietly took a few steps back...
It's a pity that those followers are not idiots. When they were in Doland that day, they heard what Master Gazza said with their own ears. The guy in the black cloak was at least level seventeen. Are you kidding me? Seventeen Super monster, you told us to go up there and die, why don't you (expletive) mother go up there yourself?
"Forget it (expletive), I'll let you go first..." Rathoric shouted there for a long time. Several of the followers did not even move. Even the stupidest people knew that something was wrong. , now I had no choice but to say harsh words while taking back the order to arrest people...
"Shut up..." Lin Li glanced at Rasorik from afar, and was no longer interested in managing this shiny silver melon. He just smiled and said sorry to Brooke beside him: "I'm sorry. , I was delayed by this guy, how about it, Mr. Brooke, do you have any suitable equipment to introduce to my companion?"
