Chapter 415: Not Enough of the World I've Seen (3/3)
Things go very smoothly, and the four of them get together, Eru, Wendylou, Rollin, and Weizzie come together to come up with a near-perfect fraud plan, and the scheming Blue Watson is naturally the victim of it.
Eru was a little unhappy that Vizzie had approached him purposefully, but after he understood what happened, he forgave her, and he was still ready to fulfill his promise to marry her.
There is no way, this person is soft-hearted, which makes Wendy Lu appreciate and worry.
In the plan, the gold-level Force Seed, naturally, there is no such thing, except for the Lord of a City, no one else can see it at all. But though he didn't, Eru had seen it before, and with the help of the archmage Horrick, he transformed a silver-level seed into a plausible high-imitation gold seed.
On the black market, a silver-grade seed is worth between 10,000 and 30,000 gold coins. Although he didn't want to admit it, Eru knew that his giant eagle seed was not top-notch, so he would buy fifteen thousand at most.
This is the first step.
Then it was Weizzie who sent some messages to Blue Watson. There are two pieces of news, the first one: Eru and Wendy Lu and Rollin have been discussing secretly for a long time, although they don't know the content, but when Eru goes to bed at night, he looks preoccupied and doesn't say anything when he asks. Article 2: Eru has been missing for a long time, and Vizzie saw him enter a secret room underground, and when he entered the secret room, his face seemed to be preoccupied, and when he came out, his face was pale and seemed to be relieved.
The messages were carefully vetted by Rollin and Wendylou, and from the perspective of Wezzie as a bystander, they seemed vague but misleading.
After the news came out. There was a deliberate wait until the next day. In the meantime, there was some news from Viz. It has been hanging on the appetite of Blue Watson. Early the next morning, Wendy Lou made another appointment with Lan Watson, but this time instead of her going to the Golden Rose to find him, she invited Lan Watson to the castle as a guest.
Lan Watson only thought that the other party was going to make a final statement, so he naturally agreed.
At nine o'clock the next morning, Lan Watson arrived in a horse-drawn carriage, and he came alone, except for the coachman who was driving. He didn't bring any maids or servants.
There was no grand welcome, and even Blue Watson was introduced to the castle through a side door, and there were few guards along the way, which seemed very secretive.
When Blue Watson reached the back door of the castle, he saw the young lord Eru in civilian clothes waiting at the door.
As soon as he saw Eru, the slight dissatisfaction in Lan Watson's heart that had been treated for a long time suddenly disappeared, and he thought to himself: "I heard that the Golden Seed is the lifeblood of a family, looking at this guy's cautious appearance, Weizi's news should be correct, this person is indeed planning to trade with me, hehe." โ
There was no smile on Eru's face. Seeing Lan Watson get out of the carriage, he turned around and said, "Please follow me." โ
Blue Watson nodded. He followed Eru. He is not afraid that this city lord will make a ghost, because he knows that this guy doesn't know martial arts, and he can kill him with a single blow.
Eru made his way through the winding passages of the castle, eventually entering a windowless chamber beneath the castle.
Pushing open the thick wooden door, Lan Watson saw two people sitting in the door, one was the great magician Horrick, and the other was the great general Wendy Lu, both of whom had heavy faces. As for the guard, Rollin didn't see it. This is very normal, this kind of matter involving the secrets of the family's core will naturally not involve a newly recruited guard.
When Blue Watson entered the room, Eru pushed the wooden door shut, and the already dim room became darker and darker, and the archmage Horrick snapped his fingers, and a soft glow lit up on the candlestick on the table, illuminating the dark room.
Eru sat down on the chair at the edge of the table with a stern expression, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the chair across the table, and invited, "President Lan Watson, sit down." โ
Lan Watson felt the solemnity of the atmosphere, and also put away his casual posture, nodded, and sat upright on the bench.
Rao is the president of a chamber of commerce, and at the same time, he is also a big name in the underground world, but today's battle, this kind of transaction involving the core power of a city, this is the first time he has experienced it, and he can't help but deal with it without concentration.
There was silence in the room for more than a minute, and then Eru spoke: "This time my family has experienced a serious crisis, and I urgently need strength to fight against Pegasus City. To be honest, even if that were the case, I wouldn't have agreed to exchange the Golden Seeds. Because this is the foundation of my family, I would rather let him destroy Miรจ with Lionheart. โ
His voice was faint and unfeeling, but that was a sign that the matter was very serious.
Lan Watson listened quietly, his noble father had told him that in a sentence, the word 'but' had no meaning, and he was now waiting for the but.
"However, my aunt told me that the golden seed is only a dead thing, and a human being is alive. As long as I live, as long as Lionheart wins this war, then even handing over a Golden Seed is nothing. Eru sighed, turned to the archmage beside him, and said, "Master Horrick, I'm in trouble. โ
Horrick's face was heavy, he nodded, and took out an extremely delicate crystal bottle.
The bottle was highly transparent, containing a small half bottle of azure liquid light, and in the middle of the liquid light, there was a swirling vortex of light spots. In the already dimly lit room, this thing was simply beautiful.
With the appearance of this thing, this secret room was suddenly filled with a majestic force aura.
This kind of weather is not ordinary at first glance!
Lan Watson's eyes suddenly widened, he had experienced such a large and pure Force aura for the first time in his life, he swallowed his saliva and asked, "Lord City, can I take a closer look?" โ
"You can only see, not touch." Eru had a sad look on his face.
"Of course, of course." Lan Watson stood up, leaned his face close to the crystal bottle on the table, carefully observed the brilliant galaxy in it, carefully experienced the pure Force aura it emanated, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really beautiful." โ
There are some things that are easy to be deceived if you haven't really seen them, such as at this moment, when Lan Watson saw the appearance of this Force seed. I decided that this thing was genuine. How can a fake have such a magnificent atmosphere?
Look at him like this. Eru couldn't help but want to laugh, he had seen a real gold-level seed, and that thing was several times stronger than this. For the first time, Eru found himself stronger than this Blue Watson, hehe.
"Alright, I'm going to put him away." As soon as the archmage Horrick stretched out his hand, the crystal bottle on the table disappeared, and the majestic aura of the Force disappeared without a trace.
Lan Watson looked regretful. I just hated myself for not being able to watch it for a while. However, he was a businessman after all, and he knew that his mentality at this time was not suitable for negotiation, so he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
There was silence in the room for a few more moments before he spoke, "What are your conditions?" โ
As soon as he opened his mouth, Lan Watson couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth, so he didn't give money to the other party. He could only comfort himself in his heart that the golden seed was hard to find, and it was worth it even if it cost a lot.
Eru sighed, "Golden seeds don't come just now, after this seed. I'm going to have to wait at least twenty years to get the next one, that's why it's so precious. If it weren't for this time"
"Cough~" Wendy Lu on the side coughed lightly. Interrupted Eru.
Eru seemed to understand, shook his head, and continued: "President Blue Watson, my conditions are very simple, in addition to the support in the contract, I need to increase the loan amount to 200,000 gold coins, which will be paid in one lump sum, and I want at least four armed airships, you can borrow them, rent them, no matter what, as long as I can see them in the future battle." โ
200,000 gold coins is not just a casual talk, but according to Wei Qi's estimate, she estimates that Lan Watson can get together so many gold coins at most, and after getting together, the entire Chamber of Commerce will be greatly damaged, which is almost the limit of Lan Watson's bearing. If there is any more accident, the entire chamber of commerce will definitely collapse.
"200,000, plus an armed airship~" Lan Watson was full of embarrassment, money is not a difficult matter, he can make it up by gritting his teeth. The key is the airship. Armed airships in major cities can be rented, but there is one condition, that is, they cannot participate in the battle between cities, and he has no difficulty in one or two, but now Eru wants more than four, which is difficult.
However, he immediately thought of the golden seed he had seen before, and as soon as he thought of the pure Force aura, his heart skipped a heavy beat, and a voice told him, "Fight this time!" โ
The connections he usually accumulates will come into play this time.
"Okay, no problem!" Lan Watson waved his hand, showing his boldness.
"Then let's sign the contract." Eru took out a copy of the text, in duplicate, and handed one of them to Lan Watson.
Lan Watson took the contract and looked at it carefully, and looked at it all the way, it was basically the same as before, the only difference was two points. One is about arming airships, and the other is about the description of gold-level seeds.
He pointed to the contract and asked, "Why don't you just say the Golden Seed here?" And to replace it with the highest level of the Giant Eagle Seed? โ
Eru looked at the contract and explained, "There is an agreement between the city lords that it is absolutely not allowed to trade golden seeds. Although this agreement is not very binding, I still have some scruples, so as not to be caught. โ
After Eru finished speaking, Wendy Lu on the side became impatient: "Blue Watson, the contract is clear, you sign your name, leave a loan of 200,000 gold coins, and then this Force seed will be handed over to you." You pay, we deliver, if you are not satisfied with the goods, the big deal is not to pay. โ
Lan Watson was right when he thought about it, and he felt that he was too worried, smiled, and signed his name under the contract.
Eru also took the contract and signed his name as well. This contract will take effect, and if one party breaks the contract in the future, as long as this thing is announced, the credibility of the other party will be severely damaged, whether it is the lord of a city or the president of the Chamber of Commerce, they must carefully consider the consequences.
"I will mobilize enough gold coins from various branches in five days, and the follow-up support will arrive on time." Lan Watson solemnly assured. 200,000 gold coins, even his chamber of commerce can't take them out at once, without affecting the operation of the chamber of commerce, 150,000 is already his limit, but it doesn't matter, he can go around for a mortgage on the rest of the part, and get together the money first.
Eru nodded, "Thank you." When the time comes, this golden seed will be yours. โ
The transaction is completed. Eru personally sent Lan Watson out of the castle and put him in the carriage, until the other party's figure disappeared completely, and he turned into the castle, he clapped his hands heavily, and his face was full of excitement.
Now he only paid the price of three silver eagle species, and he got such huge support, which is a big profit, haha.
As Watson said, five days later, he had scraped together enough gold coins, and the Grand Magician Horrick gave him the so-called 'golden' eagle species. Lan Watson had no suspicions, and when the deal was completed, he happily left Lionheart City to work on the airship
On the walls of the Lion Castle in Lionheart City, Wendy Lu looked at the horse-drawn carriage speeding away on the Lion Plains, and asked Luo Lin beside him softly: "If he finds out that the seed is fake, he will probably be mad." โ
"Hehe, what's this. We've already got the gold, and if he doesn't fulfill the follow-up contract, we can break the contract, haha. Rollin laughed.
Wendy Lu laughed, indeed, 200,000 gold coins is their main purpose, as for other armed airships or something, those are all disguises. With this money, they have enough Lionheart City to run an incredibly strong defense.
"Then will he go to support Pegasus City and turn his head against us?" Wendy Lu was a little worried.
"Maybe he will. But by then, he was bankrupt and didn't have much power left against us. Rollin smiled. Originally, they could have a good business with Lan Watson, but who told this guy to be greedy enough to have a gold seed.
On the other side, after Lan Watson left Lionheart City, he rushed straight to his father's city, and he got the Golden Seed, although this kind of seed is indeed a good thing, but it is the first time he has seen this thing, and he is always a little bottomless in his heart, and he wants to find a real knowledgeable verifier.
If he wants to verify the authenticity of this kind of thing, it is naturally his father, the city lord of Valley City, who is the most authoritative. (To be continued......)
