Chapter VI Commerce (1)
"President!"
Soronfu, who was thinking about how to increase his income, was brought back from his thoughts by knocking on the door. He opened the door with displeasure and stared at the knocking supervisor.
"Didn't you say that I have to think about it in the past few days? Just handle anything yourself."
"President...this is actually like this..."
"What? There is such a thing?"
After listening to his subordinate's report, Solangfu had to take action himself. When he rushed to the secret room behind the VIP room, the dark night elf in black robe took out the last item from the space bag at his waist - a crystal cup inlaid with dozens of sapphires.
Through the eyes hanging on the wall, Solangfu saw a large number of exquisite utensils piled on the solid wood table. From magic props to various essential utensils for life, exquisite jewelry and luxurious clothing, they were all made by night elves craftsmen. The elves' preference for silver jewelry made the entire VIP room reflect a dazzling silver light.
"President, I roughly estimate that these things are of great value, even at least this number is calculated at the lowest price..." The lobby manager Perean whispered in his ear, and stretched out a finger.
Hundreds of thousands of gold coins... This is not a small number of pens.
Soronfu's eyes turned to the night elf sitting leisurely on the Barante wooden chair. If the snow-white rose on the chest of the short-sized night elf did show his identity, because the wide hood covered his face, the only thing that could be seen was the hands holding a teacup, slender and pale. Moreover, the strange ring on the left hand of the elf also attracted the attention of the president of the Business Alliance. He had never seen such a unique ring; five balls of different colors were connected by black strings, which looked like some kind of ancient ritual props. Because the distance was far, Soronfu could not see clearly what material it was, but he guessed that it must be a very expensive treasure.
As if he felt Solangfu's gaze, the dark night spirit suddenly raised his head, and two sharp gazes shot out from the dark hood. Invisibly, two invisible swords penetrated Solangfu's chest. He obviously felt that his heart had paused for a moment.
"Stabilize him first, and give it to him according to the number you clicked. I will discuss with others. Don't let him go out until I come back." He whispered to Perez, and Soronf quietly left the secret room, then rushed to the council room in the city center. After receiving his notice, all the leading figures in Merri gathered together.
Adventure Union President Vadsos, Mercenary Union President Benin, Magic Union President Fingerway, Business Union President Soronf and City Lord Reis, they are all discussing the high-level night elf who appears in the city.
As the city closest to the Black Forest, it is not new to night elves in the city, but in the past thousand years, no high-level night elves have ever appeared on the surface, which makes everyone nervous.
"Sorov, what's the reason why you summoned us all so urgently?" The head of Meri's intelligence department, Wadessus, actually knew the reason why Sodesus summoned everyone, but he didn't want to point it out. He was unwilling to admit his intelligence omissions, Wadessus had to conceal that he already knew that there was a high-level dark night in the vicinity nearby.
"A high-level night elf ran to my business alliance to sell items worth 100,000 gold coins! Can you believe it?"
This speech by the president of the Commercial Alliance indeed attracted the attention of others.
"High-level...Night Elf"
"Yes, you'll know the specific one after you see it." He took out the magic ball that was specially brought to the teleportation effect, and Soronfu placed it on the table, and the activated magic ball shot out the images that were ingested at the other end.
The image of the night elves was clearly transmitted to the chamber. After careful observation by several presidents, they all determined that this was indeed a high-level night elves that had not been exposed on the surface for thousands of years, and they also recognized the scepter and sword crossed under the rose, which represented the armor of the war priests, the same for all races.
"Is it possible that the war priest would come to the ground, and it was a human city. What was his...what was his intention?"
"It's really suspicious. No matter which clan this kind of status is a character who is surrounded by people. Why did he come to Merri alone? Don't he know that since the night elves massacred humans who entered the Black Forest without authorization, humans in the nearby areas have no good feelings for the night elves? Is there any evil conspiracy to enter the city so blatantly?"
"Indeed, as long as the high-level priest dies in Meli City, it will be the best excuse to start a war. Didn't they just take over White Rose, and they started to have Meili's idea so quickly."
Benin and Wadessus's inference was immediately overturned by Fingerway.
"That's impossible. Elf is different from humans. It takes dozens or even hundreds of years to breed a high-level priest. Even night elves cannot sacrifice a war priest in exchange for a city." Fingerway pointed to the night elves holding the teacup. The vague ring seemed to be just a strange thing in ordinary eyes, but in the eyes of magicians, it had extremely powerful magic fluctuations. The air around was cut by the ring, forming a unique barrier. It is estimated that ordinary magic can't break through this defensive barrier. Such a rare magic prop is not ordinary. If you guessed correctly, it might be the legendary artifact.
"It's just a high-level priest. The night elves have always been bloody. How could they miss such a good opportunity to attack so much?" Wadessus did not agree with Fingerway's words.
"This night elf is definitely not an ordinary priest. If I was not mistaken, the ring on his left hand is the 'crucifix ring' that appears every thousand years. The magicians call it the artifact in the artifact, the strongest weapon in the dark system." Fingerway did not care about the ignorance of the people. What really bothered him was the holder of the artifact; "The night elf finally produced a high-level priest who could hold the artifact. If he really killed him, the night elf would definitely slaughter the entire city of Meili. What's more, facing a terrifying character that frozen the army of tens of thousands of orcs, do you think there is a person in Meili who can kill him? Lord, what do you think?"
Fingerway threw the problem to Lord Reth, who had been silent from the beginning.
"This, I think it's really hard to act rashly at the moment. Let's see what purpose he has to go to Merry." The old city lord with a serious face said that he would wait and see. After all, he was not sure about the other party's intentions, so it's better not to act rashly. As the status of this priest is as important as Fingerway said, a commercial city is impossible to resist the large-scale attack of the night elves.
"Sorangfu, why not ask, maybe this priest has a business to talk to you." Vadsos, who has always been in disagreement with Soorangfu, looked at the president of the Business Alliance with a good show. Now the city lord has expressed his opinion. It seems that Soorangfu is going to be unlucky this time. The night elves have always been weird and tricky. They want to do business with them, but they must be mentally prepared to be ready to give their lives at any time.
Damn... I don't have so much money on my hands. If I borrowed it from several other people, they wouldn't help at all, and the city lord wouldn't have taken too much. Solangwei hurriedly returned with everyone's ulterior motives. He could only pray that the priest could open his mind and forgive him for not having enough cash on hand.
"How? Your answer?"
His hoarse voice tests the not-so-strong heart of President Commercial Lianmeng, so he had to carefully say what he had practiced repeatedly on the way he came.
"This...dear night elves, we really can't raise so much cash in a short time. Look... can we slow down for a day or two. The artifact you brought is really too expensive, and we can't find a buyer for a while. This fund... cough... this..."
"It's okay, I'll just send them to you for the time being. Aren't you going to hold an auction recently? You can give me the money at that time. Moreover, I still have a lot of things that I don't need, and I want to deal with them with them."
"Eh?" The elf's words made Soronfu stunned, but he immediately put on a professional smile. "How do you contact you?"
"I will send a special person to collect it. His name is Farlan Andrews. He is a dark businessman who specializes in doing business with the dark elves. He will come to Merri these days. As for the details, you can discuss it later. I have been away from the Night Capital for too long and I have to go back."
The night elves stood up and floated out of the business alliance like a ghost.
