Chapter 42 The New Team
"This..." Leo frowned slightly. He originally thought that what Steward Phil showed him would be some muscular man with amazing fighting power, but looking at the two girls' delicate and frail looks, it didn't seem like that.
What a terrifying fighting force.
"Your Excellency, these are the two princesses of the Northern Ice and Snow Principality. It is said that they have received the blessing of the Ice and Snow Goddess and can use magic that has been extinct in ancient times." Steward Phil said with a smile, "Although their combat effectiveness may not be very impressive.
The magic in the rumors is not very powerful either.
But, after all, she is an exotic princess and a magician, well, you know, Lord Count.
They are all good!"
Seeing the sarcastic smile on Manager Phil's face, Leo was speechless for a while. Are you kidding me? Do I look like the kind of playboy with lots of money and no place to spend it?
"Ice and Snow Principality? How come I haven't heard of it? Besides, won't there be trouble if I buy these two princesses?" Leo seemed to have thought of something and asked again.
"Don't worry, Lord Count, the Principality of Ice and Snow is just a small country in the north.
Even in their heyday, they would not dare to come to our royal capital to run wild, not to mention that the Ice and Snow Princess royal family has been almost destroyed." Manager Phil said very confidently, "This pair of princesses are also from a misty mountain slave trade.
The group got theirs in their hands.
Today, the Ice and Snow Principality no longer has much territory, and is in exile everywhere, with no sense of existence at all."
It's a small principality, Leo also knew it. No wonder Manager Phil was so calm and dared to treat his princess as a slave.
"Then since there are no worries, how can it be unsalable?" Leo looked at Manager Phil in front of him with a bit of joking in his mouth.
This is so abnormal. Could this Phil be hiding something?
Just think about it and you'll know it's not normal. A princess from an exotic country, with a near-perfect appearance and the ability to use the legendary little magic. How could she wait until now for her arrival?
"Ahem..." Steward Phil showed a little embarrassment on his face, "It's just these two princesses, they cost 30,000 dinars."
"What?" Leo really didn't suppress his calm mood, "Thirty thousand dinars, are you crazy?"
I don’t blame Leo for not being calm, it’s just that Manager Phil’s arrogance was too shocking. Thirty thousand dinars is a huge fortune.
For example, the Tek Barbarian team with level 5 giant barbarians that we encountered before, the price of four thousand dinars was already a heart-stopping price.
Thirty thousand dinars, a baron's normal annual income is only one or two thousand dinars, not including other expenses.
Even if some famous nobles are captured, the ransom is only this amount. How can the Bai Ke Chamber of Commerce have the nerve to ask for such a high price for such a pair of distressed princesses?
No wonder, these sisters have not been bought here yet, at this price? No matter how rich the nobles are, they will not spend enough dinars to arm high-level soldiers in exchange for such a pair.
The mistress of the palace.
"Haha..." Leo looked at Steward Phil in front of him and chuckled, "Steward Phil, what do you think..."
"Master," at this time, Uncle Winter on the side spoke up, "Master, now that the Archimonde family is declining, as the only male in the Archimonde family, you have the obligation to open the door for Archimonde.
Scattered leaves.
These two princesses have an unusual status. Young Master, you are newly promoted to earl. Why don't you buy them to celebrate your promotion and keep them by your side on weekdays?"
Um?
Leo blinked, did he hear it correctly? Uncle Wente was actually interested in the sisters? Ah, you can't say that. Uncle Wente actually had to spend such a huge price to buy such a pair of princesses in distress?
this……
Leo frowned slightly and looked at Uncle Winter with a bit of doubt in his eyes.
But when he saw Uncle Wente hinting with a firm look, Leo also hesitated. Logically speaking, a slave with such a low cost performance would definitely not be a reasonable choice, even if it was a peerless beauty.
worth!
But since Uncle Went opened his mouth, it obviously couldn't be for the beauty of the other party, could it?
Leo glanced at Uncle Winter, and then murmured to himself in a rather embarrassed voice: "This is not bad, but the price is a bit..."
Steward Phil on the other side was also stunned. He originally had little hope for this business. After all, the ridiculously expensive price was enough to dissuade too many people. Although it seemed that Count Leo had just offered a treasure.
, my net worth is pretty good when I think about it.
He made a recommendation without any hope, and Leo's rejection was something he expected. However, there seemed to be a turning point? The man dressed as a middle-aged butler actually made a divine assist at this time?
"Count Leo, this price is even cheaper by a thousand dinars. This is the limit of what we can achieve," Steward Phil said hurriedly. Seeing that there was even the slightest hope that the deal might be concluded, he directly threw it out.
Bottom line, "The old gentleman has a point.
Although you are young and promising, you have just been granted a title, so buying these two people, whether as maids or otherwise, will add a bit of joy to your promotion..."
"This seems to make some sense," Leo frowned slightly, then shook his head helplessly, "Well, I have just been promoted, and I really need to celebrate. Why don't you, the Bai Ke Chamber of Commerce, give this pair of princesses to me?
Give it a gift."
puff……
Steward Fick almost choked himself and looked at Leo in front of him in disbelief. Who did he think he was? To be promoted to earl requires such an expensive gift. It's too...
"Your Majesty, we can't decide this," Steward Phil said with a helpless smile. Is the Count Leo in front of him serious or joking?
"Don't worry, I'm kidding you," Leo waved his hand, "When Phil is in charge, I won't let you get the thousand dinars cheaper. I will give you another thousand dinars, thirty thousand.
For one thousand dinars, how about you sell me the Tek barbarian team and the two princesses you saw before?"
"Ah this..." Steward Phil was stunned again. The young earl in front of him could always find some difficult things for himself. Although the benefits were not small, he was able to spend the rest of the sisters together.
Sold at a pretty good price.
This is not something that is difficult to negotiate. After all, this pair of sisters has been unsalable with them for a long time. The purchasing staff who bought them at a high price had already been demoted to a remote town to be in charge of the Baike Chamber of Commerce branch.
As Steward Phil went to ask for instructions, he hurriedly came back after a moment, but the expression on his face could not hide his joy, "Congratulations to Your Majesty the Earl. The president of my family admires His Majesty the Earl very much and is willing to agree to His Majesty the Earl's proposal."
"Very good," Leo nodded, "It seems we will have a happy transaction."
"Of course. In order to congratulate Lord Earl on his promotion, my guild president also asked us to give two teams of twenty-four Ice Guards to Lord Earl." Fei'er also had a smile on her face as a manager.
He smiled, but he couldn't hide his surprise in his heart, "The Ice Guards used to be the guards of the two princesses, and now the captain still has a sixth-level strength, and every member of the team also has a fifth-level strength.
Now that the earl has purchased it with great arrogance, we, the Bai Ke Chamber of Commerce, naturally cannot be stingy."
This Ice Guard can be regarded as an elite guard. The captain was once even a seventh-level master. Later, he fell down due to serious injuries. However, his proficient combat skills still allowed these two cold warriors to win.
The Ice Guards are hot-blooded.
It can be regarded as a hit item that the Chamber of Commerce is preparing to create. Did his president take the wrong medicine and actually gave such good goods as a gift to Count Leo in front of him? I have to say that Manager Phil found it difficult to accept it.
.
"What?" Leo was obviously a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Bai Ke Chamber of Commerce seemed to be too generous, and they really seemed to keep giving gifts?
"Then thank your family president for me," Leo didn't think much more. The other party was willing to give it away, so he just kept it. In this way, his harvest from this trip suddenly became six Tek barbarians.
Twenty-four Ice Guards, plus two beautiful princesses, the expenditure is thirty-one thousand dinars.
The gain is not small, but the expenditure is also painful. A large amount of dinars, it would be strange not to feel sad.
"Let's go, let me see if there are any other good goods." Fortunately, Leo spent a lot of money, and he didn't seem to care that much if he spent a little bit more.
Immediately afterwards, there was indeed a dizzying array of goods, including tall and burly warriors from the Northland Winter Realm, half-elves who were the legendary hybrids of elves and humans, and even another pair of barbarians, but they were highland barbarians.
Oh, by the way, there are four outlaw owl knights!
This lawless owl knight is a regular knight, but his strength is terribly low, so he was put here for sale just now. Of course, Leo has no interest in them at all.
After watching for a while, Leo lost his mind and asked someone to pay thirty-one gold coins. Steward Phil asked again, "Sir, I need to say one more thing, although those slaves were specially tamed by us.
But after all, resources are not slaves. It is inevitable that there will be other thoughts. You need to be vigilant at all times. We will give you special drugs to facilitate your control.
Of course, if something unexpected happens, you'd better make a decisive decision and never be merciful."
"Well," Leo nodded, "I'd like to ask Phil, but I haven't found a good place yet. It seems I need to put it at your place first. I'll pick it up tomorrow."
"This is our duty. Within a month, you can come and pick up your slave at any time," Steward Phil said respectfully.
…
"Uncle Wente, why do you want me to buy those two princesses? Do you know them?" Leo finally couldn't help but ask. After all, Uncle Wente's behavior was so weird.
It's definitely not a small amount of money.
"Their potential is quite good. Although they haven't shown such terrifying combat power yet, I can sense their affinity with magic. I never thought that such a talented person could appear in such a small country as the Snow Principality.
"Uncle Wente also said in confusion.
"You mean, they are suitable for practicing magic?" Leo was a little confused. Manager Phil also said this. The other party has some magic, but according to Uncle Winter, the potential is good, but there is still a lot left.
Bar.
"That's because they didn't practice formally and wasted their talent." Uncle Wente chuckled and shook his head. "You will definitely not regret it in the future."
With that said, Leo also returned to the tavern, preparing for everything next. After all, there will be another group of people tomorrow. Now he has a lot of people. It seems that he can buy a palace in the royal capital. This way
It will be cleaner.
The tour guide went to inquire about this information so that he could prepare for departure tomorrow. After doing the necessary fighting spirit training, Leo gradually fell into a deep sleep. However, this night was not so peaceful.
