Chapter 323 City Lord Blackstaff(1/2)
Ren was a little alert at first. The trade fair hall was protected by magic circles, and there were people who could directly open the portal and come in.
He was shocked when he heard the two of them.
The visitor turned out to be the lord of Shenzhen-Hong Kong City, Hastav Orosan!
Hastaff was slightly shorter than Rennes, about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a unique brown robe, but under the robe, he had extremely strong muscles, a wide figure, and a more like a melee extraordinary person than a wizard.
This legendary high-level wizard has a black beard, and his forehead has gradually moved backwards. His black hair is mixed with silver stripes. There is also a silver band running through the upper and lower parts in the middle of his beard. He looks handsome and has a firm look, with an unforgettable noble demeanor.
The most eye-catching thing is a black staff in his hand.
The name of this staff is "Black Staff". It has a strange appearance and has some twists on the body of the staff, like a burnt branch. Its appearance is not good, but it is actually an extremely powerful legendary staff!
It is precisely because of the Black Staff that Hastav has the strength comparable to the Holy Soul Wizard, and with the help of his wife Laila Orosan, he can firmly sit in Shenzhen and Hong Kong for hundreds of years.
It is said that the Black Staff cannot be contained in the dimensional space for some reason, so no matter where Hestaff goes, the Black Staff never leaves it.
This has become the symbol of Hastav, and even his wizard tower was directly named the Black Staff Tower.
Renn's soul eye saw through the other party's soul, and the entire nineteen-layer soul structure was revealed. The number of secret elements was countless, at least hundreds, and the soul was like a small sun that could not be seen directly. It was only one step away from the transformation.
This person is indeed Lord Hastaff, not a deformed and fake one.
Ren also stood up, took off his mitral mask, and bowed slightly: "I have met the city lord."
Combass and Sverwait quickly took off their masks.
"Earl Glamorgan, two more, sit down." Hastav nodded and responded, looking as rumored, always maintaining seriousness and wisdom. He asked Rennes and the other two to sit down, but he still stood up straight and asked, "I just got a report from a masked lord. Have you killed a dragon priest and sold the shadow mask?"
"Yes, Lord City." Renn raised his eyebrows. No wonder Hastaff could directly teleport into the private room. It turned out that he was the backstage of this black market fair.
The black market trade fair is unpredictable on the surface, but it is actually a tool for the rulers of Shenzhen-Hong Kong City to make money. This is a big secret.
But Hastaff doesn't seem to care about being known.
Renn immediately guessed the other party's purpose.
So he took the initiative to take out the shadow mask and said, "Please verify it."
"Yes." Hastav was a little surprised at the young man's agility, and couldn't help but take a few more glances before carefully observing the mask in his hand.
Silence in the private room.
Combass and Swift felt uneasy and quietly looked at the rumored city lord, even breathing lighter, and did not dare to disturb him.
But Ren was calm. As a student of the Holy Soul Wizard, he didn't need to be as awe of Hastav.
Hastaff completed the appraisal after half a minute.
"It is indeed one of the ten dragon sacrifice masks, and it is a shadow mask with a relatively high quality. It is also rare in the epic level." Hastav praised a few words and looked at Renn, "This mask is useful to me, you can offer it."
Renn was stunned for a moment, asking himself to bid?
Hastaff's strength and status are higher than himself. He ruled Shenzhen-Hong Kong City for hundreds of years and was truly rich enough to rival a country. There were no people richer than him in the entire empire.
According to common sense, he should be the one who quotes, overwhelms himself in momentum, and thus takes the initiative.
I took a look at the other person's soul emotions, and it was very calm and there was no big fluctuation.
Renn was a little puzzled, so he considered the expected price of the shadow mask for a few seconds, with the lowest price of 300,000 gold shields and the highest price of 400,000.
Since you are asked to offer the price, then you can offer the highest price.
Others fear the reputation of the lord of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and Rennes doesn't care. They ask for prices everywhere and pay back the money by land. Everything can be negotiated.
"Four hundred thousand gold shields."
When Combass and Swift heard this price, they were both trembling, and their hearts were almost leaping out of their throats, fearing that the city lord would get angry on the spot.
However, Hastaff did not react very fiercely, but just shook his head slightly, "It's too high."
Renne wanted to reduce the price moderately, but found that the color of the other party's soul had not changed at all.
Still calm.
This shows that Hastav can actually accept this price.
A top-notch epic item, 400,000 gold shields, is not outrageous, let alone a lion's big talk. If it is handed over to the Dark Magician for use, its strength will increase several times.
Hastav is an arcane master of the Seal School, not a dark magician. The reason why he wanted to buy a shadow mask was probably given to others for use.
Or there are secrets hidden in the shadow mask, which have other uses.
But Rennes was not interested in exploring.
"Your Majesty, I want 400,000 gold shields, no one else sold." Renn grasped the other party's psychology and said, "Moyou Empire is one of the largest auction houses. I believe that selling 400,000 gold shields is not difficult. What does the city lord think?"
It's actually a bit difficult, and this price can only be auctioned at the best circumstances.
The normal price should be around 350,000 gold shields.
Hastaff stared at Renn for a few seconds, unable to hide his surprise in his eyes. He thought Renn knew something, and finally nodded and said, "Yes."
Combass and Swift were stunned.
In their opinion, Renn slaughtered the city lord with a fierce knife, and it was successful!
There was also a smile on Renn's face, but without him waiting for him to be happy, Hastav continued, "But you must sell me the Green Dragon Soul, totaling 500,000 gold shields, but I won't trade them all in cash, I will give you something more interested in."
This was very unexpected to Renne and he didn't react for a while.
He released the news of the Green Dragon Soul to attract the dragon vein warlock Deakin Sails to take the bait. Unexpectedly, he caught a bigger fish!
The soul of the Green Dragon is worth 100,000 gold shield, which is neither high nor low, and can only be said to be average.
But Hastav is not a dragon vein warlock, and the legendary first-level green dragon is not very useful to him. What does he want the dragon soul to do?
Renn's mind changed drastically and considered a lot.
Deakin Sels is a masked lord, and each masked lord is appointed by Hastav, and their relationship must be extremely trustworthy. Hastav came forward to buy Dragon Souls, which should reduce the risk of Deakin Sels' exposure of his identity.
"What do you mainly pay for?" Renn asked curiously.
Hastaff raised his hand, and a pile of silver crystalline ore appeared on the ground and said, "This is a three thousand pound silver mine, I think you should like it."
Rennes couldn't help but be surprised.
Then he felt relieved. It was impossible for his actions in Shenzhen and Hong Kong City to avoid the eyes and ears of the city lord, and he did not cover up, so it was too easy to check.
These three thousand pounds of silver mines should be accumulated over the years of Leeds mountain ash coal mine.
He nodded, "I accept heavy silver mine payments, but that's not enough."
Hastaff was ready and took out another memory crystal, "There is a space-time coordinate in it, located on the 404th floor of the abyss. It is not large in area, equivalent to two to three imperial provinces. When I passed this abyss many years ago, I found that there was an area rich in heavy silver mines and very rich in reserves."
"If you are interested, how about giving this coordinate to you, how about losing 50,000 gold shield?" Hastav's eyes seemed to be smiling, as if he would agree if he pinched it right.
Renne was moved, but his face was silent.
No one can tell how many layers there are in the bottomless abyss.
The environment of each abyss is different. The only thing in common is that it is filled with countless demons and the evil energy that can always pollute the mind and depravity. For intelligent creatures other than demons, there is no more terrifying place than the abyss.
The 404th floor of the Abyss, Rennes had never heard of it before.
He opened the mobile library and found no corresponding information.
"Master Lord, do you think with my strength, I can reach the 404th level abyss?" Renn pretended to be a little embarrassed.
"Not now, I can do it later." Hastaff smiled rare, "and it is not difficult for a holy soul wizard to get your teacher to help.
Renn smiled bitterly in his heart. With the teacher's current state, he couldn't help at all.
A time and space coordinate costs 50,000 gold shields, which is too expensive.
However, if it is sold to Elder Titan, not to mention the 50,000 gold shield, it is estimated that Elder Sorim will agree immediately.
Of course, Renn is not so stupid. Wouldn't it be nice to keep him in the future to mine?
In fact, he was willing to buy it, but he didn't want to agree so easily. He was still hesitating on his face and said, "The abyss is too dangerous for me and very far away. Please let me think about it again."
Obviously, this is not at the bottom line of Hastaff.
Sure enough, Renn pretended to think about it for a few minutes, and seemed to be about to refuse. Hastaff finally couldn't help but feel angry and said, "I don't know what you want so many silver mines. However, I can make the decision on the Leeds Mountain Ash Mine in the north of the city and transfer it to you at the price of 200,000 gold shields."
Hastaff had a blank expression on his face and his eyes swept over Combass and Swift.
The two of them felt the terrible pressure and quickly lowered their heads.
Hastaff's words undoubtedly exposed his relationship with Deakin Sels. As long as someone with a little brain can guess that Deakin Sels is one of the masked lords.
The identity of the masked lord is very secretive in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City. It can be used as a joke in private, but if someone publicly accused it, it would be a crime of death in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City.
Rennes had known Deakin Sails' identity for a long time, so he was not surprised.
For the sake of the Shadow Mask and the Green Dragon Soul, Hastav was at the cost of his life, and even risked the exposure of his identity as a masked lord.
The value of Leeds Mountain Ash Coal Mine is definitely more than 200,000 gold shields.
Even if there is no heavy silver ore, the profit of mining ash coals every year is more than 20,000 gold shields, so you can make sure that you can make sure that you can keep the heavy silver ore produced in your own hands.
This should be Hastaff’s psychological bottom line.
"make a deal!"
