Chapter 121 Gambling (Part 1)
For three hundred years, although the Church of the God of Light has stopped hunting magicians, the affected people still admire the magic of magic, but they are also afraid of this power.
A magician gains respect and is also alienated - at least for ordinary people.
Therefore, although the magic union exists in many cities, it never shows to outsiders, and even most citizens do not know where the magic union is - of course, most mages are very satisfied with this arrangement. In essence, they are actually scientists on earth, and they are very satisfied with having a quiet environment where they can study magic.
But the other party said that a huge and vague plan was already being formed. On the one hand, he was reading books from the Magician Union these days. There were 20,000 books even in the first-level information warehouse, all about power and the world's composition.
Although these books do not have a system, they can never forget them and take them slowly after they can.
On the one hand, I have been thinking about how to manipulate the entire world with my own strength and how to break the situation where the God of Light accounts for one-third of the four leaf-shaped continents.
But at this time, an unexpected person came to visit - on Fang Xin's small building, this place had become his office and residence in the city.
The visitor was a man, one of whom was wearing a gray cloak with black pupils.
"Hello, is it the priest of the God of Secret Shadow?" The badge on the cloak was a black net, which was the logo of the God of Secret Shadow. The public display surprised Fang Xin. This was the first time he had encountered the priest of other gods in this world. He could feel that although not very powerful, it was endless.
The man pulled down his mask and completely exposed the middle-aged man's face. He bowed slightly and said, "Sir, I am Cathyland, the priest of the God of the Hidden Shadow, I salute you."
The God of Hidden Shadow has the power of darkness, possesses four clerical responsibilities: lurking, intelligence, shadow, and thieves. It is also called the black spider, which means the existence of weaving the network in the darkness.
In theory, any thief union is subordinate to the God of Insight. Although the thief union is actually independent, it is not a problem to exert some influence.
"Mr. Caseyland, do you represent the church or the thieves union you belong to?" Fang Xin saw another mark under his cloak, which was a blood-dropping dagger. This is not a secret in the city. It is the mark of the thieves union, and he said it directly.
"On behalf of me, sir!" Cassin's face remained unchanged and he said with a smile: "I heard that sir has taken over the Jazz's ship. I personally hope to reach a certain alliance with you."
Blood Dagger is a powerful thief union in the city, but it is not the only one. In fact, Fang Xin thinks it is very wise. After all, the authorities can accommodate the existence of thief union in the territory and the city, but they will not tolerate the only thief union.
And this blood dagger has a large number of thieves. These thieves are not gangsters in the ordinary sense, but professional thieves with professions, engaged in spies, killers, and smuggling. I heard that there is even a priest of the God of the Shadow. Now there is no doubt that this is the fact.
But Fang Xin didn't care at all, and he didn't ask for the reason, saying, "I want to cooperate with me, it's great. I'm short of people now. What do you want to get and what can you give?"
Cassland was shocked and said, "Sir, I am not very powerful, but I can guarantee that the goods transported on your ship can be sold through a considerable channel, and of course, the same is true for purchases. As for the reward, I hope to obtain your territory as a transit station for goods."
Silver Rose Manor, covering an area of ​​2 square kilometers, has a tenant of 600 people. However, it is indeed along the coast and rivers, but this is not the real reason.
However, the strong man didn't ask the reason at all. Fang Xin asked him not what he meant. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Okay, but I hope to get some intelligence and support through you."
"Of course, I can make the decision to give you the guests with the iron-level badge, a 15% discount. If you cooperate more in the future, you will have better treatment." Cassin said in a daze.
The God of Secret Shadow emphasizes intelligence, so the best thief unions are all part of the intelligence network. It can even be said that many intelligences have the highest value.
Therefore, the high-level thief union even organizes thieves to infiltrate, collect, organize and sell off information.
"Iron-level badge guest?" Fang Xin asked with some interest.
"Yes, we can get a 10% discount on iron-grade badges for potential guests, and there will be no fraud for such guests. Of course, there are bronze badges below, and you can get a 10% discount on all transactions." Cassland introduced: "And you can post and accept some secret tasks, just like you can post and accept tasks at the Adventurer Union."
"Well, I understand. Do you have any business that specializes in taking over and transferring the ownership?" Fang Xin asked directly.
"Take over and transfer business? Please explain it."
"In other words, I am very dissatisfied with Sir Vincent Manley, so I want to defeat him within a year. I want to accept the valuable industries. Your union can give me a clear list of industries and how to transfer them to my name." Fang Xin said lightly.
"... Maybe you don't know Vincent Manley's strength yet." Although Cassin received some hints from the above, he obviously did not expect this person to be so arrogant.
"Tell me briefly, I'm listening." Fang Xin said calmly, and he took out a document and said.
"…Vincent Manley was originally a businessman. He sold all his property, bought a boat and started to engage in business speculation. In twenty years, it has reached a considerable scale."
"Now his fleet consists of eleven large sailing ships, and these ships are worth about 120,000 gold lakes. Moreover, there are two residences in the city, many shops, and six small properties have been purchased. Although it is not because of his low origins, as long as he has a trace of noble blood, he can buy the title of hereditary lord from the king."
"He has a guard of 100 people and has a huge influence in the chamber of commerce. On average, he can earn 80,000 gold lakes every year, and the money even makes the Count envious." Cassin said, but it was obvious that he thought Fang Xin was crazy.
"But his foundation still lies in the fleet, right?" Fang Xin said leisurely: "And you don't have to worry about how I do it. I just ask you, if he goes bankrupt, can you complete the business of taking over and transfer?"
"...Of course, you, if you can do it." Cassin said with a slightly bowed: "I will give you the industry order and fleet travel record form in two days. This business is worth ten thousand gold lakes. You must pay 3,000 gold lakes first, or calculate it at 50,000 gold lakes."
"3000 Jinleke?" Fang Xin smiled mysteriously and said, "Please pay now?"
“You can be allowed to be graceful for three days.”
"No need, just mortgage my Silver Rose Manor. How much is it worth?" Fang Xin said without hesitation.
“…it can be worth 2,000 Jinleke.”
Fang Xin's madness surprised Cassland. You know, if Fang Xin really lost this manor, he would completely lose the trust of the jazz and even lose his reputation in the aristocratic circle. This gambling is too great.
"My small building can also mortgage 300 Jinlek, my Knight Armor, or 300 Jinlek. I still have 100 Jinlek free money on my hand. Yes, I have 2700 Jinlek now, and there is a gap of 300 Jinlek. Do you want me to continue mortgage or loan? If necessary, I can borrow money from the City Hall and the Magician Union as a Knight and a Magic Apprentice. I believe that 1000 Jinlek can still be borrowed."
"...No need. If you mortgage the manor, building, and this knight armor, I can make the decision and take over your business. However, the term is one year. However, if you can't get 3,000 Jinlekes within a year, these will be completely mortgaged and no longer owned by you."
"Of course, sir, can we sign a contract?" Fang Xin smiled.
"Of course!" Cassinan was completely calm at this time, and he bowed and said. At that moment, he opened the ink box, and then the two of them drafted the contract on the spot. First, Cassinan wrote it, then Fang Xin read it and proposed a revision opinion. Some of the opinions were accepted, while others led to debate, but no matter what, a contract was completed in half an hour.
Fang Xin picked up the pen, signed it on it, and used the O-level magic mark, and suddenly, a ring mark with wings appeared on the paper.
If printed on paper, this magic could exist for two years, which is enough for now.
Cassin looked at him with a complicated expression, then prayed silently for a moment, reached out and pressed it on the paper, a black light flashed, and when it was picked up, there was a mark on it, which was the mark of the God of the Depth, which meant that the contract was supervised by God.
Chapter completed!
