Chapter 234 Olds
I don’t know if it’s the magic of gold coins, but the senior soldiers who led Yi Ming and his group worked very hard when introducing their city, and there was a hint of unquestionable pride in their tone.
"Orz City is the most prosperous commercial city on the entire continent. Here, all voluntary transactions between both parties are legally protected. Whether it is treasures, jewelry, weapons, warcraft or even people, they can be bought and sold at will. Oldz recognizes all fair and reasonable transactions and have legal benefits."
"Is it reasonable to buy and sell people here?"
Bingyu frowned slightly and asked in dissatisfaction.
"Of course, Miss."
The soldier nodded and then smiled slightly.
"But I think you may have misunderstandings about this, just like those who have just come to this city."
As he said that, he stood and pointed to a huge building in the distance. At first glance, it looked like a palace, but it lacked the majesty of the palace, but it was a bit bustling like a downtown on the street. "There is a place for the people trading." He continued. "There are many people there, many people, who carry some weird, magical, clever, and dangerous skills. But this technique is not easy to be appreciated or useful in other places. So they came here to show the merchants their abilities and get a contract. Of course, this is different from hiring. You must know that the hired people are not as miserable as they are. Only without identity
Only those who are about to starve to death will come here, so what they need is a more demanding contract. Of course, if they comply with the contract, these poor people will at least not be as miserable as slaves - at least killing slaves is not illegal. But killing them is a crime. In addition, there are also many young and beautiful ladies who are afraid of being deceived by the nobles, so they come here to buy and sell their bodies. At least, here Olds will protect their legitimate rights and interests from being violated. Instead of losing both people and money, we do not produce anything, nor buy or sell anything. We just provide a platform.dao.*** a commercial trading platform, and try our best to keep it fair and reasonable."
This is the essence of the business kingdom.
They don’t produce anything, they don’t sell anything, they just provide a platform and try to ensure the interests of both buyers and sellers. It is precisely this that makes Olds the most central business city on the mainland. Countless merchants come here every day to expect a “fair and reasonable” transaction. Although Yi Ming himself is a little curious about how this “fair and reasonable” is obtained, and you must know that the disputes in commercial transactions are quite troublesome, and it is often the ones who say that the ones who have the right to say that the ones who have the right to do everything well in this case?
But at this moment he didn't say anything, because the soldier had taken them to a medium hotel as required.
"The accommodation fee here is not very high. High-end houses only cost 10 gold coins a day. I think you will not stay for a few days, because in two days, the gathering of the top ten merchant groups in Olds will begin. By that time, I think you will definitely find a satisfactory buyer and sell your trophy at a good price."
The soldiers said, stopped and saluted them.
"Then, everyone, I'll say goodbye."
"I'm really troubled you along the way."
Yi Ming nodded and then looked at the soldier leaving with his steps not too slowly. He smiled slightly.
At this moment, what he wants to do is a publicity.
It is precisely because it is the most crowded place. Although it may attract illegal people, it can at least spread the news that "a mercenary group brought out a whole box of priceless treasures from the elves of the Forest of Life" as soon as possible. Moreover, Mealley had already issued a notice after he left. As long as he cooperated with these rumors and could sell the things safely, their purpose would have been achieved. In human nature, curiosity and speculation are the strongest beings. As long as they can become the example of everyone and successfully earn this "first pot of gold", then the mercenary groups will no longer hesitate whether to enter the Forest of Life to take risks.
After entering the hotel and asking the boss for three good guest rooms, Yi Ming suddenly pretended to be careless and glanced around, and then signaled the boss to bring a glass of wine, which seemed boring to start talking.
"Orz, it should be a very safe city."
"Of course, this gentleman."
The boss replied immediately.
"No matter who is, you are not allowed to go wild here, let alone commit crimes. In the past few decent cases have occurred in the entire Olds City. This is why many travelers come here to rest. At least they are very safe here."
"That's good."
Yi Ming nodded in relief, then took it casually.
"The city was so dangerous before. Didn't you expect that I only realized before leaving that a magician was killed in that city. This is really strange, isn't it right?"
“Ahhh…yes, yes…………”
Instead of seeing the boss's sudden dull face, Yi Ming casually put down his glass and wine supplies, and then walked upstairs.
It seems that it is not safe here either.
"Sir Yiming... Can we really live here?"
Looking at the gorgeous guest rooms, Yuri and Youfa looked at all this incredible way. All along, their orcs could only sleep in the lower room. Even if they traveled, they could only sleep in the horse shed or the lowest-class guest room. They had never slept in such a luxurious room. Look at the mattress, it was so soft! Look at the walls, it seemed to be reflecting! Look at the candles...
"You must be responsible for guarding our treasures, so be careful tonight."
Yi Ming said here, then turned around and looked at the other three.
"Lita."
Then he spoke.
"You sleep with the ice fish today."
"Why?"
Faced with this sudden order, Lita and Ice Fish were shocked, but the first one to scream was Lafar.
"Then, what about me?"
"You sleep with me."
A chilling smile appeared on the corner of Yi Ming's mouth.
"Don't worry, I will attack you at night. Of course, I will not do anything to you. If you can detect my attack, I will stop. But if you can't detect it..."
"What do you want?"
Under the eyes that looked like wolf, Lafar couldn't help but take a step back and tightly grasped his clothes.
"It won't be like that."
Yi Ming's tone was gentle, but he was indescribable.
"I will just strip you naked and throw it into the corridor. With your physique, you shouldn't get sick one night... Lita, no pleading."
Since Yi Ming said so, Lita had to put down her hand that was about to raise her protest. She looked at the ice fish with helpless eyes, but the ice fish was still buried in her book, obviously not interested in it. It is even possible that she was quite "looking forward to" the scene where Lafar was stripped naked by Yi Ming and threw it into the corridor.
As for Lafar himself, he has no choice.
So, she could only tremble and pray that night would come soon.
After all, Yi Ming has always done his best.
At this moment, in one of Olds' most luxurious manors, an old man was playing with the gold coin of the Elf Empire in his hand with a serious expression. It was exactly what the senior soldier had sent before. At the same time, he also brought a message that surprised the Lord. Is anyone really able to enter the forest of life and obtain real treasures from those dangerous elves' remains? Of course, he also maintained a spiritual attitude towards this. As a human being familiar with the culture of the Elf Empire, the Lord knew very well that because the Elf Empire itself adhered to the principle of bartering, their number of gold coins was quite small, but it was given as a symbolic existence in the early stage, and it was more like a decoration rather than a currency. So it has never been issued in large quantities. It is precisely because of this that even a person like Olds's who are knowledgeable and knowledgeable are not sure about the authenticity of the gold coin. However, he now feels that this gold coin may be real.
"Sir, do you think this is true?"
Next, a capable man asked carefully.
"From the carving technique, it does look like the product of elves. But their gold coins are basically not circulated, and I have never seen this style."
The Grand Duke flipped the gold coins and looked at the pattern of the unicorns that appeared on it, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's so beautiful, it's really a work of art. If this is really the gold coins of the Elf Empire, then I can really understand why the Elf is unwilling to circulate. This has far surpassed the currency. If it were me, I would rather take ten thousand imperial gold coins than use one such gold coin to buy goods."
"Then, those mercenaries who are said to have taken out a lot of treasures from the elves' remains..."
"Let's just wait and see the side for the time being."
The eldest prince couldn't put it down and stroked the gold coins in his hand, showing a little smile.
"It's the day for the top ten merchant groups to gather. If they really want to trade, it's their best time. By that time, we will know whether they have really obtained the treasure of the elves or are just liars."
