Chapter 323

Ren was still a little vigilant at first. The trade fair hall was protected by layers of magic circles, and there were still people who could directly open the portal and come in.

He was shocked when he heard what the two said.

The visitor turned out to be the lord of Shenzhen-Hong Kong City, Hestav Orosan!

Hestaff was slightly shorter than Rennes, about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a nondescript brown robe, but under the robe, he had extremely strong muscles, a broad figure, and a body shape more like a melee transcendent. rather than a wizard.

This legendary high-ranking wizard has a black beard, the hairline on his forehead has gradually moved back, black hair is mixed with silver stripes, and there is also a silver band running through the middle of the beard. Unforgettable elegance.

The most eye-catching thing is a black staff in his hand.

The name of this staff is "Black Staff". It has a strange shape, and the body of the staff has some twists, like a burnt branch. It looks ugly, but it is actually an extremely powerful legendary staff!

It is because of the black stick that Blackstaff has the strength comparable to that of a holy soul wizard, and with the help of his wife Laila Orosan, he has been able to sit firmly in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City for hundreds of years.

It is said that the black rod cannot be taken into the dimensional space for some reason, so no matter where Blackstaff goes, the black rod never leaves his hand.

This has become the symbol of Blackstaff, and even his wizard tower is directly named the Black Rod Tower.

Ren's soul eye sees through the opponent's soul, and a full nineteen layers of soul structure are displayed. The number of secret magic elements is even more innumerable for a while, at least hundreds of them. The soul is like a small sun that cannot be seen directly. It is only one step away Transformation can occur.

This person is indeed the lord of Hestaff, not a fake one.

Ren also stood up, took off the mithril mask, bowed slightly and saluted: "I have seen the city owner."

Combas and Shiftwitt also quickly took off their masks.

"The Earl of Glamorgan, and the two of you, please sit down." Hasstaff nodded in response, his expression was as stern and wise as the rumors said, he asked Ryan to sit down, but he still Standing straight, he asked, "I just got a report from a masked lord, you killed a dragon priest, and you still want to sell shadow masks?"

"Yes, Your Excellency the Lord of the City." Ren raised his eyebrows. No wonder Blackstaff could be teleported directly into the box. It turned out that he was the backstage of this black market fair.

It's no small secret that the black market trade fair is not bright on the bright side, but it is actually a tool for the rulers of Shenzhen-Hong Kong City to collect money.

Blackstaff didn't seem to care about being known, though.

Ren immediately guessed the other party's intention.

So he took the initiative to take out the shadow mask and said, "Please identify yourself."

"Hmm." Hestaff was a little surprised at the young man's dexterity, and couldn't help but take a second look before carefully observing the mask in his hand.

The box fell silent.

Combas and Swift felt uneasy, quietly sizing up the rumored Lord of the City, even their breathing became lighter, and they didn't dare to disturb.

Renn took it calmly. As a student of the Holy Soul Wizard, he didn't need to be so in awe of Blackstaff.

Half a minute later, Blackstaff completed the identification.

"Sure enough, it is one of the ten dragon sacrifice masks, and it is a shadow mask of relatively high quality, which is also rare in the epic level." Hestaff praised a few words, and looked at Ren, "This mask is very important. I am useful, you can make an offer."

Ryan froze for a moment, asking himself to bid?

Blackstaff's strength and status are higher than his own. He has ruled Shenzhen and Hong Kong City for hundreds of years.

According to common sense, he should be the one who made the right offer, overpowering him in momentum, thus gaining the initiative.

Glancing at the other party's soul mood, it was very calm and did not fluctuate greatly.

Ren was a little confused, so he considered for a few seconds. His expected price for the shadow mask ranged from a minimum of 300,000 gold shields to a maximum of 400,000.

Since you let yourself set the price, then set the highest price.

Others are afraid of the prestige of the city lord of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, but Ren doesn't care. He asks for a lot of money and pays back the money on the ground. Everything can be negotiated.

"Fourty thousand gold shields."

Hearing this price, Combas and Swift trembled, their hearts almost jumped out of their throats, for fear that the mayor would be angry on the spot.

However, Blackstaff didn't react very violently, he just shook his head lightly, "It's too high."

Ren wanted to reduce the price moderately, but found that the color of the other party's soul remained unchanged.

Still a piece of calm.

This shows that Blackstaff can actually accept this price.

A top-level epic item, 400,000 gold shields is not outrageous, let alone a lion with a big mouth. If it is used by a dark magician, its strength will skyrocket several times.

Blackstaff is an arcanist of the Fayin school, not a dark magician. The reason why he bought the shadow mask is probably for other people to use.

Or there are secrets hidden in the mask of shadows, which have other uses.

But Ren was not interested in exploring.

"Your Excellency, I want 400,000 gold shields, and I won't sell any less." Ren grasped the other party's psychology and said, "Modu is one of the largest auction houses in the empire. I believe it is not difficult to sell 400,000 gold shields. What does the mayor think?"

It is actually a bit difficult, and only the best of circumstances can be auctioned to this price.

The normal price should be around 350,000 gold shields.

Blackstaff stared at Ren for a few seconds, with surprise in his eyes, thinking that Ren knew something, finally nodded and said: "Yes."

Combas and Swift were dumbfounded.

From their point of view, Renn had ruthlessly slaughtered the city lord, and it succeeded!

There was also a smile on Ren's face, but without him waiting for him to be happy, Blackstaff continued: "However, you must also sell me the soul of the green dragon, which is a total of 500,000 gold shields, but I Not all in cash, I'll give you something more interesting."

This was beyond Ryan's expectations, and he didn't react for a while.

He released the news of the soul of the green dragon in order to attract the dragon warlock Dickon Searles to take the bait. Unexpectedly, he caught a bigger fish!

The price of the green dragon's soul is one hundred thousand gold shields, neither high nor low, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

But Blackstaff is not a dragon vein warlock, and the legendary green dragon is not very useful to him. What does he want the dragon soul for?

Ren's thoughts changed sharply, and he considered a lot.

Dickon Searles is a masked lord, and every masked lord is appointed by Hestaff, the relationship between them must be extremely trustworthy, and Hestaff came forward to buy the dragon soul, it should be to reduce Dickon *Sales in danger of revealing his identity.

"What will the city want to pay for?" Ren asked curiously.

Blackstaff raised his hand, and a pile of silver crystalline ore appeared on the ground. He said, "This is a three thousand pound silver mine. I think you should like it very much."

Ren couldn't help being astonished.

Immediately, he was relieved that his actions in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City could not escape the eyes and ears of the city lord, and he did not cover up, so it was too easy to investigate.

The 3,000-pound silver ore should have been accumulated over the years in the Leeds Hill Ash Coal Mine.

He nodded, "I accept payment from heavy silver mines, but these alone are not enough."

Blackstaff had been prepared for a long time, and took out another memory crystal, "There is a space-time coordinate in it, located on the 404th floor of the abyss, the area is small, equivalent to two to three empire provinces, I passed through this place many years ago When I was in the abyss, I found an area rich in heavy silver mines, and the reserves are very rich."

"If you're interested, how about giving this coordinates to you to pay off 50,000 gold shields?" Blackstaff had a half-smile in his eyes, as if he was sure that Ren would agree.

Ren's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm.

No one can tell how many layers the bottomless abyss has.

The environment of each layer of abyss is different, and the only thing they have in common is that they are filled with countless demons, as well as evil energy that pollutes the mind at all times and can make people corrupt. For intelligent creatures other than demons, there is no place more terrifying than the abyss.

Renn had never heard of the 404th floor of the abyss.

He opened the mobile phone library, but did not find the corresponding information.

"My lord, do you think I can reach the 404th floor of the abyss with my strength?" Ren pretended to be a little embarrassed.

"Not now, but in the future." Hestaff smiled rarely, "and you can ask your teacher to help. It is not difficult for a holy soul wizard to enter the abyss."

Ren smiled wryly in his heart. With the teacher's current state, he couldn't help at all.

One space-time coordinate would cost 50,000 gold shields, which is too expensive.

However, if it is sold to Elder Titan, not to mention fifty thousand gold shields, even ten times to five hundred thousand gold shields, it is estimated that Elder Sorim will immediately agree.

Of course, Ryan wouldn't be so stupid, wouldn't it be nice to keep him for mining in the future?

In fact, he was already willing to buy it, but he didn't want to agree so easily, he was still hesitating, and said: "The abyss is too dangerous for me, and it is also very far away, please let me think again."

Obviously, this has not yet reached Hestaff's bottom line.

Sure enough, Ryan pretended to think about it for a few minutes, and seemed to be about to refuse. Hestaff finally lost his temper and said, "I don't know why you want so many silver mines, but the Leeds Hill Ash Coal Mine in the north of the city is mine You can be the master and transfer it to you at the price of 200,000 gold shields."

Having said that, Blackstaff was expressionless, his eyes swept over Combas and Swift.

Feeling the terrible coercion, the two quickly lowered their heads.

Hestaff's words undoubtedly exposed his relationship with Dickon Searles, as long as anyone with a little brain thinks about it, he can guess that Dickon Searles is one of the masked lords.

The identity of the masked lord is kept secret in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City, and it can be used as a joke in private, but if someone publicly denounces it, it will violate the capital crime of Shenzhen-Hong Kong City.

Ryan knew the identity of Dickon Searles for a long time, so he was not surprised.

For the shadow mask and the soul of the green dragon, Blackstaff spared no expense, even risking his identity as the masked lord.

The value of the Leeds Mountain Ash Coal Mine must exceed two hundred thousand gold shields.

Even if there are no heavy silver mines, the annual profit from mining gray coal is more than 20,000 gold shields, which is a sure profit without losing money, and can firmly control all the heavy silver mines produced by oneself.

This should be Hestaff's psychological bottom line.

"make a deal!"

Ren resolutely agreed, and took out the soul stone of the green dragon soul and handed it to Hestaff.

The ash coal mine in Leeds Mountain is worth 200,000 gold shields, the pile of heavy silver mines on the ground is worth 150,000 gold shields, and the memory crystal is equivalent to 50,000 gold shields, which add up to only 400,000 gold shields.

Blackstaff took out another golden ticket of 100,000 gold shields, and the transaction was completed.

A smile flashed in his eyes, as if he was satisfied with the transaction, he handed Ren a badge with a twisted black rod, and said: "This is the black rod token, you can enter the castle area and the black rod with it. Tower visit, and use Chuankong Travel Agency to get a 30% discount.”

Ren was very pleasantly surprised, "Thank you, Lord City Master."

Blackstaff nodded indifferently, "Say hello to Master Anxi for me." After speaking, he opened the portal and walked in.

Until the portal was closed, Combas and Swift heaved a sigh of relief, looking relieved.

"It scares you." Ren was in a good mood and joked about the two of them.

Combas sighed helplessly, "You are a student of the Holy Soul Sorcerer, so of course you don't have to be afraid of the Santo, we dare not be presumptuous in front of the Santo."

Swift also nodded in agreement.

Ren smiled without saying a word.

Through the eyes of the soul, he discovered the secret of Hestaff.

This seemingly harsh city lord is frightening, but it is actually a disguise, used to intimidate enemies or people with evil intentions, and help rule the city. Blackstaff's real character should be relatively peaceful and quiet, and there must be another side in private, which is completely different from the appearance in front of outsiders.

Not long after Blackstaff had left, the waiter returned to the box with a catalog of transactions.

As expected, Mask of Shadow and Soul of the Green Dragon are absent from the catalog.

Ren browsed through and found that there was nothing he wanted among these things, so he stopped wasting time and left the trade fair early.

Go back to the hotel outside the grotto, retrieve the Ultramarine, and he directly opens the portal to return to the ground.

The next day, Ren went to the City Hall of Shenzhen Harbor City to handle the change of ownership of the Leeds Hill Ash Coal Mine. The nominal owner, Baron Deacon Searles, did not appear, but he did not hinder the handover. Obviously, the City Hall The officials were ordered.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ren went out of the city to inspect the site of the gray coal mine, took over the mine and became its new owner.

Standing on the sentry tower, looking at this open-pit coal mine, hundreds of miners are busy, driving steam excavators to work hard.

Everything is in order, and mining has not stopped because of the change of mine owners.

Ren had mixed feelings.

Unexpectedly, one day, I became a coal boss!

"boss."

Swift stood beside him and said: "I will supervise the mining work of the coal mine, speed up the progress, try to dig out more heavy silver mines, and send them to Modu once a month."

Last night, Rennes had decided to hand over the gray coal mine to Swift, and offered a salary that Swift could not refuse, three thousand gold shields a year, plus share incentives.

For the Tie Qi Iron Guard who has been desperate for help, this is simply a windfall.

Moreover, as the supervisor of the Ash Coal Mine and the spokesperson of the Earl of Glamorgan in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City, Swift has opened a channel to the upper class of Shenzhen-Hong Kong City.

Swift changed his tune on the spot, calling Wren his boss like the Ultramarines.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Ren looked away.

Swift is still very reliable, I can rest assured. Even if there is a problem, you can send it over to check at any time.

He didn't stay in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City for long, and immediately teleported back to Modu with the Black Staff Talisman.
