Chapter 277 Contradictions and Calculations [Subscription Request]

Chen Xuan stood by and watched the show for a while.

The arrogant and domineering Earl Tris Landau seemed to have really made up his mind to wait him out here.

Reza Blackstone stared at Tris with some anxiety.

He originally planned to ask the clerk to go privately to call the patrol troops at the sentry point.

The Deepwater Valley Mining Merchants have been stationed in the Black Leaf No. 7 Merchant House for more than ten Naroa years.

The local patrol troops have a good relationship with them.

After all, doing business here will inevitably encounter some blind guys.

The rudeness shown by Tris Landau in front of him foreshadowed the possible trouble.

So Reza Blackstone had to find a way to stop this dispute that could happen at any time.

But his little move was discovered by the golden knight behind Earl Tris.

The clerk was blocked as soon as he went around the side, so he could only go back embarrassedly.

This made Reza very worried. Both Earl Tris and Chen Xuan were customers of Deepwater Valley.

It's just that they happened to bump into each other.

Moreover, Chen Xuan's purchase volume almost exhausted the current inventory of the station.

This led to Tris Landau's dissatisfaction.

A few days ago, the Deepwater Valley Mining Merchants received news.

After the moon phase of the double moon peak appeared, a new round of magic disasters could break out at any time.

For this reason, all stations raised the supply price by about 15%.

So far, there has been no panic buying at the Black Leaf Outpost, and this is the first example.

It is very likely that Earl Tris Landau received a warning from the family.

That's why he came to urgently purchase materials to prepare to reinforce his own territory.

But no matter what, the behavior of intercepting other customers is bad.

After thinking about it, Reza Blackstone made a difficult decision.

He adjusted his breathing, stretched out his hand to smooth his collar, and walked to Tris again.

"Respected Earl Tris."

"Let's do this."

"Tell me the goods you need."

"I will ask my peers for the goods, and the price will be settled according to the normal discount of the Dark Gold Card."

This plan will make him lose all the commissions for Chen Xuan's order.

It means that Reza Blackstone will bear the difference between the market price and the discount price.

His words relieved the sinister Tris Landau.

In this way, he can pick up the goods quickly without losing the discount.

"That's about right."

"Congratulations, Reza."

"You already have the potential to become a qualified merchant group manager."

"Here is the list of goods I need."

"Go prepare the goods."

Tris Landau raised his hand, and a golden knight who was accompanying him took out a list from the storage jewelry.

It listed a total of mineral materials and metal castings worth about three or four million crowns.

After Reza Blackstone took the list, he glanced at it and knew what was going on.

A deputy steward was called in, and he was asked to go to the market to find colleagues to transfer goods.

The dispute that might have erupted was nipped in the bud.

Reza, with a full beard, breathed a sigh of relief, slowly retreated to the back, took out a flat wine flask and took a big sip.

The hot and spicy wine slightly diluted the boredom in his heart.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xuan nodded secretly.

This dwarf steward named Reza Blackstone is a talent.

The most important thing is that he is very disciplined.

He would rather suffer a loss than let the customer suffer a loss.

This move is just to maintain the reputation of the Deepwater Valley Mining Merchants, not to make a profit for himself.

The show is over, and the situation is also clear.

Chen Xuan walked over with a nonchalant look on his face.

Earl Tris Landau was sitting lazily on a chair, eating a piece of jerky or candy that he took out of the storage jewelry.

His four golden knights were on the left and right.

Seeing Chen Xuan approaching, the five of them glanced at him.

When Tris saw the bronze badge on his chest, he immediately lost interest.

But the four experienced golden knights sensed something.

Even though Chen Xuan did not reveal any momentum, these golden knights could still judge something from some details.

Chen was still calm and did not respond to their gazes.

Instead, he went straight to the station of the Deepwater Valley Mining Merchants and asked in a calm tone.

"Are all my goods ready?"

Reza Blackstone, who was drinking in the corner, immediately put down the flat wine pot.

After wiping the wine on his beard, he ran over in a hurry.

And his words also attracted the attention of Tris Lando and the four golden knights.

"Did you buy this batch of goods?"

Earl Tris, who was originally lazy, immediately sat up straight.

Chen Xuan turned his head and glanced at him, and then showed a faint smile.

"Yes."

"What can I do for you, sir?"

His neither humble nor arrogant attitude successfully attracted the attention of Tris Lando.

The nobles of the kingdom also have their own emblems, so it is not surprising that Chen Xuan would call him sir.

In the case of not wanting to reveal their strength, the common people would call the nobles "sir".

"How could a bronze-level adventurer clear out all the inventory of this station?"

Tris wondered, then stood up and walked towards him.

But he had just taken half a step when he was stopped by one of the golden knights.

The golden knight gently pushed aside the visor of his helmet, revealing a beautiful face with brown hair.

She was actually a rare female knight.

"My Lord Earl, please don't get close to him."

"He is a dangerous person."

"He is definitely not as simple as an ordinary bronze-level adventurer."

She whispered in a very low voice.

But everyone knows that in front of a gold-level strongman, such a low conversation is meaningless.

The golden female knight clearly wanted to tell Chen Xuan what she was saying.

It was also an indirect deterrence.

Chen Xuan silently raised the corners of his mouth, but didn't say much.

In the absence of conflicts of interest, any fight is meaningless.

Hearing the female knight's admonition, Tris Landau suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.

The arrogant look on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a gentle smile.

As a noble of the kingdom, changing his face is a basic skill.

When facing Reza Blackstone, he could bully him as a customer with the airs of a noble.

But when facing the mysterious strong man, Tris knew how to approach and test him.

Since the other party could eat up more than 10 million worth of mineral materials in one breath and deliberately disguised himself as a bronze-level adventurer, it meant that he was not a small character.

"Your Excellency bought so many mineral materials. Did you also receive news?"

After thinking for a few seconds, Count Tris asked with a smile.

"News?"

"What news?"

Chen Xuan shrugged, with a harmless expression on his face.

"I'm just doing things for others."

At the end, he didn't forget to add a sentence.

Seeing him say this, Tris Landau was a little speechless.

He stammered for a moment before continuing.

"Okay."

"I am Tris Landau, the governor of Blue Wind Castle, the third son of the main line of the Landau family."

"You are welcome to visit Blue Wind Castle at any time."

He said politely.

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile on his face became even bigger.

"Blue Wind Castle?"

"That's a good place."

"I must go there if I have the chance."

After a gentleman's salute, Chen Xuan also replied.

Blue Wind Castle is only more than a thousand kilometers away from Magtan City.

It is a state city about four times larger than Magtan.

Nearby is a fertile basin, and not far from the city is the Coya River.

This is the largest river in the western border of the Kingdom of Duroya.

Therefore, river transportation there is very developed.

Whether it is agriculture, commerce, or population size, Blue Wind City is much stronger than Magtan City.

Chen Xuan also knows a little about the Lando family.

When he was studying in the field of [Time Slow Walk], he once read a book called "Duroya Heraldry", which recorded in detail the nobles of all sizes in the Kingdom of Duroya and their noble emblems.

Among them, the Lando family is also recorded.

Speaking of which, the Lando family is still a rather old megacity-level family.

The core of their family power is not in the west of the kingdom, but in the southern region.

They control three megacity.

Tris Lando in front of him claims to be the third son of the main line of the family.

That is, the direct descendant of the current head of the family.

He actually became the governor of the western border city of Bang.

This situation is similar to exile.

Although Blue Wind Castle is relatively wealthy in this corner of the west of Duroya.

But for the Lando family, it is still a sesame seed-sized place.

Nine out of ten times, this guy made some mistakes.

There are four golden knights around him, which should be the preferential treatment given by family relatives.

How can a normal Bang city lord have such luxurious treatment?

Take Baron Besos as an example.

Before this, there was not a single gold-level strongman in the entire Bang city.

Not to mention letting a gold-level strongman be a guard.

Learning is still good.

At this moment, Chen Xuan knew the situation of Earl Triss Landau almost instantly.

His answer was quite decent, so Triss smiled politely.

Little did he know that Chen Xuan was already planning to take Blue Wind Castle.

While the two sides were talking, he activated [Insight].

The golden hint appeared, which allowed him to find some valuable clues.

[Triss Landau, 32 years old, honorary earl of the Kingdom of Duroya, the third son of the current head of the Landau family, vented his personal anger, so he mobilized the giant city garrison to attack the city of Andorra, causing thousands of casualties. He was tried by the Kingdom Court, and was later saved by the Landau family head. In order to avoid suspicion, he was "exiled" to Blue Wind Castle as a governor]

[Earl Triss recently received family news that the Naroa continent is about to face a new round of magic disasters, and the giant city of Attucks will not be spared. Although the main battlefield is unlikely to be in Blue Wind City, he still asked him to be prepared and strengthen the defense of the city. Affected by the magic disaster, the kingdom has already supervised the mobilization of lords from all over the country]

...

Sure enough, Triss Landau in front of him was "demoted" to this rural corner because he made a mistake.

And the information fed back by [Insight] also made Chen Xuan understand that for those aboriginal bosses in those "big places", the outbreak of the magic disaster does not seem to be a secret.

After the two sides exchanged a few casual words, Tris was about to say goodbye and leave.

When he just turned around, Chen Xuan suddenly asked.

"By the way, Earl Tris, do you need a strong mercenary group?"

His words made Tris Lando stop, and he turned around and asked curiously.

"Mercenary group? How many people?"

"What is the strength level?"

"Has it been certified by the Naroa Mercenary Association?"

It can be seen that Chen Xuan's words hit the heart of his heart.

Tris lacks trust in the defense of Blue Wind Castle.

And he is carrying things on his back, and the kingdom is supervising the governors of various places.

In this case, Tris can't run away lightly.

This time he came to the Black Leaf Outpost, one is to urgently purchase a batch of mineral materials and metal castings.

Secondly, it is to check the place. If Blue Wind Castle cannot be defended, then he can consider running to the Black Leaf Outpost, which not only has extremely strong defensive buildings, but also has a giant city-level teleportation array.

Even if the teleportation array is taken over by the wartime, he can still leave through the teleportation array with the kingdom gold emblem brought from the Lando family.

However, when the Blue Wind Castle is really defeated.

The Black Leaf Outpost may also be besieged by monsters.

But anyway, this is also a way out.

Running away before the war is undoubtedly very sensitive, but it doesn't matter if he runs away after the war breaks out.

In this case, Count Tris is still very interested in the mercenary group that can strengthen the defense of the Blue Wind Castle, provided that this mercenary group must have good strength.

Chen Xuan, who is capable of sweeping away tens of millions of crowns of mineral materials, has left a mysterious impression in his heart.

So the proposal he made to introduce the mercenary group is still very attractive to Tris.

Seeing the other party take the bait, Chen Xuan's smile became even bigger.

"The number is about 1,000."

"The strength is generally at the bronze and silver levels."

"It has not been certified by the Naroa Mercenary Association."

He answered according to Tris's words.

When he heard that the strength of this mercenary group was only bronze and silver, a look of disappointment suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"I need stronger mercenaries."

"The comprehensive strength of a mercenary group composed of bronze and silver levels is at most similar to the mixed army of the Black Leaf Outpost, which cannot meet my requirements."

Tris Lando said bluntly.

Chen Xuan seemed to have known his reaction for a long time, and the smile on his face remained unchanged.

"That being said."

"But the combat power of a mercenary group may not only be measured by the strength level."

"The mercenary group I want to introduce to you has actual combat records."

Earl Tris immediately asked with concern.

"What combat records?"

"The magic disaster crisis in Magtan City."

For the Kingdom Investigation Team, he didn't want to talk about the magic disaster.

But for Tris, it didn't matter.

And the news that the magic disaster broke out in Magtan City is not a secret in the surrounding area.

...

This recent plot is an expansion of the foreshadowing for the subsequent hegemony.

There is not much space left in the article, and it quickly turns to the foreshadowing of the succubus line, and then returns to the Blue Star line.
