337. The Lord
The Gray Shadow Black Market, as a third-level black market, has a high reputation among the demon hunters in the Dabiang Kingdom, of course, it refers to those demon hunters who know the black market. And for those demon hunters who don't know the black market, the Forest of Gray Shadows is a dangerous forbidden place full of treasures, because almost all the people who can enter this black market are all masters of the Silver Realm, and if there is any conflict here, the mortality rate is very high.
It's just that in the past ten or so days, the gray shadow black market has become a little depressed and lonely.
According to incomplete statistics, at least more than fifty demon hunters have left the Gray Shadow Black Market on these days, which means that at least two-thirds of the Demon Hunters have left the Gray Shadow Black Market.
At present, there are no more than twenty demon hunters left in the Gray Shadow Black Market.
Seeing that the decline of the Gray Shadow Black Market is almost a foregone conclusion, the major chambers of commerce stationed in the Gray Shadow Black Market in recent days have also begun to pack up their things and prepare to evacuate.
This is the profit-seeker.
Standing by the window, Wilson looked at the deserted street, his face as calm as ever.
Behind him were his old comrade-in-arms, Robert, and a man with a slightly immature face.
The man didn't seem to be very old, but Wilson and Robert knew very well that it was because the man was so well maintained. In fact, this man is nearly fifty years old, and of course, his strength is another important reason for his ageless appearance.
This is a real high-ranking gold powerhouse.
"Mr. Wilson, are you really not thinking about it anymore?" The man's voice, which looked very young, was not hoarse, but rather had a kind of heartiness, especially in his tone, and his words were like the poems of a bard, "I am really very sincere." ”
"Huh." Wilson turned his head to look at the man. Looking at the hypocritical smile on his face, he felt extremely disgusted, "If this is sincere, then I will also pay three million gold coins to buy half of the property in your name Mr. Rohm." …… You see, I'm more sincere than you are, only half of it. ”
"Mr. Wilson is joking." The man named Roma let out a hearty laugh, "Even an outsider like me knows the situation in the gray shadow black market very well, so why should Mr. Wilson continue to hold on?" You see, even those chambers of commerce have begun to prepare to evacuate, and the gray shadow black market has no value in your hands, right? …… I admit it. If it was the gray shadow black market before, it would be an insult to you for me to open a price of three million, but now the situation is different, three million is definitely worth the money, and it can even be said that it is only high and not low. ”
Even if Wilson hated this nobleman from the Kingdom of France very much. But he also had to admit that this guy was indeed a born bard. It's a very angry word. But when it came out of his voice, it was really full of a kind of helplessness and sympathy with the world. And in fact, it is indeed as he said, although the gray shadow black market is a third-level black market, but in terms of the current situation, three million is indeed a very good offer.
It's a pity that someone's offer is much more sincere than this Roma.
"Okay, you don't have to talk so much nonsense." Wilson said lightly. "The gray shadow black market in the future is much more valuable than you think. Don't say it's three million, even if it's thirty million or even all the properties in your name in exchange, I won't sell it to you. …… I know that your Nomir family has wanted to get involved in demon hunters for a long time. But if you're going to put your breakthrough on my black market, then I'd better advise you to die of this heart. ”
Hearing Wilson's words, Rom's smiling face disappeared for the first time, and his brow furrowed slightly for the first time.
He's been here for a while.
At first, he really just wanted to seek some business cooperation, after all, as the outside world knows, the Nomir family he represents is currently in a kind of development bottleneck in the Kingdom of France, and if he wants to make the family stronger, then he can only seek some other opportunities. However, before his negotiations with Wilson began, two quasi-powerhouses died in succession in the Gray Shadow Black Market, which naturally directly caused turmoil and chaos in the entire Gray Shadow Black Market, and a large number of demon hunters left in just a few days.
This made Röm immediately aware of an opportunity, so he immediately changed the original cooperation to annexation, which was not uncommon in aristocratic circles.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the plan that he thought was nine out of ten was directly rejected. At first, he thought it was Wilson's attempt to get away with it, just to take the opportunity to sell the gray shadow black market for a good price, but with the contact in the past two days, Rohm began to waver a little in his thoughts, because from the beginning to the end, Wilson's expression did not fluctuate, as calm as the surface of a cold winter lake, without the slightest ripple.
"Someone's bid, higher than mine?" Rohm finally broke the unspoken rules of business negotiations.
"Much taller than your Nomir family." Wilson smiled with satisfaction for the first time, "This is an offer I can't refuse at all." ”
After a long silence, Rohm finally spoke again: "I'm really curious, who took my lead?" ”
"It's not that I robbed you of the opportunity, it can only be said that the other party said the right thing at the right time." Wilson smiled, "The Grey Shadow Black Market is still mine, and the only thing I need to do is do nothing. ”
"Nothing?" Rom's brows furrowed slightly, "Is it convenient to reveal the identity of the other party?" ”
At this moment, there was a sudden strong shaking in the gray shadow black market, followed by a sudden roar, which made Rom's face change suddenly; Although Wilson and Robert's expressions did not change much, they were still startled by the strong shaking and roaring.
The three of them immediately went to the window and looked out at the scenery in unison.
This is the center of the entire Grey Black Market, so the scale of the building is naturally higher than other places, and standing in Wilson's office, you can easily see the streets of the entire Grey Shadow Black Market.
And at this moment, at the passages of the three entrances and exits of the Gray Shadow Black Market, there was a bright light lit up.
This is the equivalent of the wolf's smoke alert when the army fights a war. It means that there is an invasion of foreign enemies.
In the history of the establishment of the Gray Shadow Black Market, there have been several invasions, and of course the results are obvious.
According to the normal procedure, Wilson and Robert must lead the defenders of the black market to attack at this moment. And all the people in the black market who are still capable of fighting must also fight to protect the black market, of course, this kind of battle will certainly not be a free job, and it will definitely be rewarded satisfactorily afterwards - provided that you are still alive, after all, demon hunters rarely have friends.
There aren't many people like Robert, Wilson and Jerry, Bannock.
After realizing that it was an invasion, Rom's face calmed down.
He was a marquis of the Kingdom of France, although he only had the title of a marquis, and he did not even have a territory. But he himself is a high-ranking golden powerhouse, and this strength is enough for him to gain enough respect. In addition to this, his family Nomir can also add a lot of points to his status, because this is a large family that is as important as the Wyles family in the Kingdom of France.
Röm glanced sideways at Wilson and Robert, wondering how they would respond to the current invasion.
He didn't even need to think about this kind of thing to know the Tao. It must be because there are other people in the black market who know the situation here in the Gray Shadow Black Market, so they came to take advantage of the fire to rob it. This kind of thing. It's not uncommon in demon hunter circles. After all, the resources here in the Gray Shadow Forest are very rich, and this point can be known with so many chambers of commerce, and no one will not be impressed here.
It's only because there were a lot of quasi-powerhouses in the Gray Shadow Black Market before, as well as Wilson and Robert, that no one was stupid enough to use such a forceful method.
If it weren't for the reputation of the Nomir family, Roma would have even wanted to conquer by force.
Others may be afraid of these two ruthless people who are extremely famous in the circle of demon hunters. But in this world where strength speaks, the upper gold powerhouse definitely has the qualifications to despise the lower gold powerhouse. Of course, if Wilson and Robert join forces, Rohm will of course find it a little tricky. However, if there are one or two people with decent strength to help, then there is no suspense about the outcome at all.
Of course, Rohm also has his own calculations.
If Wilson and Robert were to die in this battle, then he would not have tarnished the reputation of the Nomir family if he snatched the management of the Gray Shadow Black Market. It's just that, if he could, Rom would prefer to be able to incorporate these two people under his command, because no nobleman really wants to take only an empty name. Nomir was also ambitious.
"Mr. Wilson, are you really not considering my offer again?" Röm looked at Wilson once more, taking advantage of the fire to rob not only the power of the merchants, but also the nobles' forte, "If you agree, then this time I can also assist you in the defense." …… If nothing else, it's okay to guard one of the entrances and exits. ”
What is revealed in the words is Rohm's strong self-confidence.
This is the pride of the high-ranking golden powerhouse.
"Hehe, Mr. Rohm, if you think you can really hold one of the gates, then go ahead." Wilson glanced at Rom, who was full of pride, and for the first time felt that this smile was not so annoying, at least he was particularly amused when he mocked, "As long as you can guard one of the gates, then I will give you one-third of the management of the Gray Shadow Black Market, how about it?" ”
Others may not know, but Rohm knows very well that the gray shadow black market actually belongs to Wilson and Robert, so when Wilson said that he would share one-third of his management rights, Rohm was already a high-ranking gold powerhouse, and he was still excited at this moment.
But just as he was about to accept it, he saw the mockery in Wilson's eyes, which made his somewhat hot mind cool down immediately.
And once he calmed down, Rohm discovered many things that he hadn't noticed before.
The expressions of Wilson and Robert were a little terrifyingly calm.
Generally, if one's own territory is attacked by such a raid, then as the owner of the territory, it will definitely be angry, because it is a provocation to authority.
But these two people didn't even jump their eyelids from beginning to end, and they looked as if they had already expected someone to attack. And it has been several minutes since the glow was issued, but Wilson and Robert still did not give any orders to attack, but still chose to wait and see, which is already very obvious to a problem: inaction.
Rom's eyes paused slightly, and he immediately remembered what Wilson had said before.
- The Grey Shadow Black Market is still mine, and the only thing I need to do is do nothing.
"Who's the other party?" Röhm asked in a deep voice.
Instead of speaking, Wilson reached out to one of the three gates of the Grey Shadow Black Market.
At this distance, with the eyesight of a golden powerhouse, he can naturally see an approximation.
Following Wilson's direction, Rom's pupils shrank suddenly.
Because in his field of vision, there was a woman in knight's costume who was swinging a spear to pick up several enemies, and she had already broken through the defense line of the gate with the power of one person - of course, it was not actually the defense line of the gray shadow black market, because those who were picked off by the woman were all guards from the nearby chamber of commerce.
What is the strength of those people, Rom knows very well, and to be able to pick off so many people with one shot, the strength of this female knight must not be below him.
A female knight of a high-ranking golden powerhouse?
But that's not what really shocked Rohm.
What really shocked him was that behind the female knight, soldiers dressed in uniform equipment were entering through the gates of the black market in a row, and then forming a battle phalanx in the open area. The soldiers reacted very quickly, without the slightest pause or confusion in the whole process, it was clear that this was a well-trained unit, and just as far as the eye could see, Roma could already feel a slight thorn in his eyes, indicating that this unit was already capable of hurting him.
An elite army!
And it is also a noble private army that does not carry a banner, but hangs out the family crest!
Some of the unbelieving Roms immediately turned their heads in two other directions.
There, too, an army is breaking through the Black Market Gate and assembling at the Gate Square.
Although there are slight differences between these two armies in terms of standard equipment, there is no difference between the solemn aura exuded by these two armies and the first army, and there is no doubt that these are also two elite armies that have experienced a hundred battles!
Could it be that the elite armies in this world are completely worthless?
Röhm looked at the three flags, all with the same family crest, in disbelief.
It was a flag with a black base and a dash of starlight, and in the center of the flag was a pair of gray wings with a strange shape: a completely unfolded left wing and a completely closed right wing.
It was a family crest that Roma had never seen before.
"Is this the family crest of one of Dabiang's new nobles?" At this moment, Rom's voice has long since lost its previous heartiness.
"Who told you that this is the nobleman of Dabion?" Although Wilson was also shocked by the lord's generosity at this time, as he had already decided to stand on Sean's side, he was also a little proud in his heart.
"Could it be ......" Rom soon realized the lord who had been in a big fight with Dabion recently.
Lord of the Duchy of Lane, pioneer knight of the former Marquis of Tonys, Baron Panda, Sean. Connelly! (To be continued......)
