Chapter 321 The Age of Odin
Hedwig was already very angry from Grace, but when he saw Zhu Tian's gloomy expression, his mood became even worse.
Finally, he was the first to speak: "What? Are you here to represent the auction house?"
"I don't represent anyone, I only represent myself. The gold coins you withheld belong to me!"
A gleam of light flashed in Baron Hedwig's eyes. He thought to himself, no wonder this kid has an evil aura about him. It turns out that it is because of this. But where did a Yodelman get so many gold coins? "As a person.
"As the noble lord of the territory," Baron Hedwig said, "I have the right to know the source of your gold coins. After all, one hundred thousand gold coins is not a small amount. Horse thieves are rampant on this continent. Who knows whether your gold coins are stolen?"
Robbed."
One hundred thousand gold coins?
Zhu Tian narrowed his eyes.
The owner of the auction house placed an order for one million gold coins. Even if the 100,000 gold coins were sent to the lumberyard first, he would still need to transport at least 900,000 gold coins to the peaceful town. So why did Baron Hedwig want him to deduct 900,000 gold coins?
The bet was for one hundred thousand gold coins?
There are two situations at this time:
In the first case, the gold coins entered the peaceful town in batches, and Baron Hedwig's guards happened to detain only one batch of 900,000 gold coins.
The second situation is that Baron Hedwig withheld 900,000 gold coins, but only quoted a price of 100,000 gold coins. He just wanted to bully Zhu Tian by relying on his power.
If it is the first case, this matter can be easily solved. But if it is the second case, it shows that Baron Hedwig is determined to give away his gold coins!
Zhu Tian most likely believed that it was the first case because he had just heard the entire conversation between Baron Hedwig and Grace through his mental power. Only now did Zhu Tian want to understand why Baron Hedwig had to make a deal with Grace.
If he had 900,000 gold coins, Baron Hedgeway wouldn't have to compromise with Grace.
At this moment, no matter what the situation was, Zhu Tian no longer cared. Ever since Baron Hedwig and Mayor Grace decided to make a dirty deal, Zhu Tian had already lost the most basic respect for the baron in his heart.
.He took out something directly from his arms.
An embroidery!
Right in front of Baron Hedwig, under the vigilant and doubtful eyes of the guards, he opened all the white embroidery in his hand and displayed it in front of Baron Hedwig.
Two steps away, Baron Hedwig suddenly stood up from the sofa. "How come this embroidery is in your hands?" he asked. "Were you at the auction that day?"
At this moment, what Zhu Tian was holding in his hand was naturally the golden fragrant flower embroidery embroidered by Hai Sijia himself!
Although Zhu Tian was still imprisoned in the Tower of the Dead at that time, Peake had already explained all the details of the auction house to him. "Of course, if I was not in the auction house at that time, how could I have this embroidery?
Zhu Tian said: "The reason I show you this is to tell you that I don't just have the bet for the car crash conference - 100,000 silver coins. I also have a lot of money."
A lot of capital. You must still remember the first noble cane sold at the auction house for two thousand gold coins. It was my work. If I wanted to, I could make hundreds of noble canes like that in a day. Hmm
, It’s this kind of noble cane.” Zhu Tian put the embroidery into his arms and tapped the noble cane in his hand on the carpet.
The few words Zhu Tian said have cleverly explained the source of his capital. If Baron Hedwig was not deliberately making things difficult, he should return the 100,000 gold coins that belong to Zhu Tian at this time. But... "You
Can you apply for industrial management qualification from the town mayor? Can you pay the fee for selling luxury goods?
Taxes earned?" Baron Hedgeway spread out his hand and pointed out one finger at a time. "Also, do you have an application for the unique management rights of the Yodelmen? What the Yodelmen need shall be handed over to the lord of the territory.
Do you have a letter of guarantee? Oh, from the look on your face you have nothing, what are you talking to me about?"
"Do I have to ask you to issue a qualification certificate before I sell a baked sweet potato?" Zhu Tian kept squinting his eyes.
"Young man, you have to understand that what you are selling is not roasted sweet potatoes, but
Luxury goods worth thousands of gold coins!" At this time, a servant brought a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of Baron Hedwig. "The laws of the kingdom stipulate that when selling luxury goods, you must pay a ten percent tax.
Income tax!”
The laws of the Kingdom…the laws of the Kingdom…
At this moment, Zhu Tian only had the image of the money and power transaction between Baron Hedwig and the mayor Grace in his mind. "So," he said, "are the laws of the kingdom only set for us ordinary people? Nobles do not have to
Comply?" His body sat up from the soft leather sofa and slowly leaned forward.
One blue and one black pair of eyes flashed with oppressive light in front of Hedgevey. At this moment, Baron Hedgevey felt that his inner thoughts were clearly understood by the other party. "Nobles must also abide by the laws of the kingdom!"
He said this with a guilty conscience, "Anyone who violates the laws of the kingdom will be punished."
"Where's Grace?" Zhu Tian's mouth drew an evil arc. "Both civilians and nobles need to abide by the laws of the kingdom, but our Lord Mayor can stand outside the laws?"
Baron Hedwig was silent. After more than ten seconds, his body slowly leaned forward. The golden pupils and the blue-black pupils were at the same level. This was the closest the two people were to each other. "Young man, you are really awesome.
It's getting more and more amazing!" Baron Hedwig looked at him deeply and said word by word: "What do you know?" He picked up the teacup on the table in front of him, took a sip, and looked at
Looking at Zhu Tian's strange pupils, he unconsciously took another sip.
Zhu Tian spread his hands like that, and his tone was empty and leisurely: "I know everything! I know everything you know, and I also know what you don't know! Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Baron Hedwig put down the empty cup in his hand, sneered, and said: "Young man, you are too arrogant! It is undeniable that my daughter is very happy when she is with you, and you seem to bring a lot of fun things to her.
Gave it to her. However, from today on, I will forbid her from seeing you again. Oh, I forgot, you are a Yodel Man, and you rarely have the chance to see her."
This is not the first time that Baron Hedgeway has mentioned the four words Yodelman. Zhu Tian clearly felt the contempt in his tone. Also, when Baron Hedgeway said the last words, Zhu Tian
Tian felt the tightness in his body again. He knew that this was a reaction from Pique.
Zhu Tian was silent, waiting for Pique to calm down and for the tension in his body to disappear.
"One hundred thousand gold coins, this is not the amount of property that an ordinary Yodelman can own. When you walk into this castle, I can arrest you in the name of investigation!" Baron Hedwig's topic
After a twist, "You said you know everything, but do you know your results today? I can tell you that from me, at least today, you still can't take away the 100,000 gold coins!"
"Why are you silent, young man? Don't you know everything? Huh? Look at the oil paintings of people hanging around here. Do you know the great heroes who founded the country? How many years of history do you know about the Yodelman Kingdom? Do you know
Are you in an era of Odin at this time? More than two hundred years ago, Odin's cavalry swept across the entire continent, and the great Majesty Yakor ushered in the real era of Odin. From that moment on, everyone on this continent
People must abide by the laws of the kingdom established by the people of Odin!"
"Boy, let me remind you, you are living in an Odin era!"
Without giving Zhu Tian any chance to refute, Baron Hedwig, who was wearing a black and red striped robe, quickly stood up from the sofa, walked with aristocratic steps as measured as a ruler, and left the place together with the middle-aged attendant guarding the door.
Zhu Tian was still sitting there, his eyes flickering, as if he was deep in thought.
"Sir, you should leave here at this time." The guard standing by did not know why, but his tone of voice was a little more relaxed. "You need to prepare what Baron Hedgeway wants, those business rights and the like.
Once you pay enough taxes on the luxury goods, you can come here and withdraw one hundred thousand gold coins."
Finally, Zhu Tian stood up from the sofa and walked quickly towards the door. He walked out of the silver-inlaid wooden door full of golden eyes.
Guard Ke
After doing his duty, he only took a breath and followed Zhu Tian out. But when he walked out of the wooden door of the living room, a hesitant expression immediately appeared on his face. "Sir? Where have you been?" He looked around.
Looking around, he couldn't find the figure with the blue hat anywhere. "Please follow me out of the castle!" He shouted into the air, but no one responded.
He walked quickly along the way he came, and ran straight out of the castle, but he still didn't see the blue hat figure!
Finally, he realized something was wrong!
"Lord Baron," the panting guard came to a large and bright bedroom. He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into the eyes of Lord Baron. "Sir, the Yodelman is missing."
"What does missing mean?" Baron Hedwig glanced at the guard in confusion, then lowered his head and began to check the documents in his hand. "What does it have to do with me whether he is missing or not?"
"Sir, what I mean is that he disappeared in our castle." The guard lowered his head and swallowed, glancing upward. "When I just walked out of the reception room, I never saw him again.
"
His cold eyes began to slowly move away from the documents and fell on the guard. "How many years have you been following me?" Baron Hedwig asked in a deep voice.
"Sir, I have been with you for ten years. I was promoted from a stable boy." The guard replied nervously.
"Well, if I remember correctly, you have passed the basic qualification test for knights. In one year, you will be able to pass the qualification test for knights."
"Yes, my lord."
"Do you remember what the basic code of knights is?"
The guard was stunned for a moment and recited word for word: "Loyalty, bravery, dedication, trustworthiness, wisdom..."
"Stop!" Baron Hedwig interrupted and said: "Where is your wisdom?"
The guard was confused, staring blankly at Baron Hedwig with two questioning eyes.
"Don't you understand?" Baron Hedwig suddenly raised his voice and asked in a sharp voice: "Don't you know what the purpose of that boy coming to us is? You have been standing in the reception room from beginning to end, and you still
Don’t you know what he wants?”
"Gold coins! Sir, it's gold coins! He wants gold coins." The guard's inspiration suddenly appeared.
"Then why don't you quickly go to the vault and inspect it for me!?"
"Yes! Sir!"
The guard strode out.
Baron Hedwig exhaled heavily. At this time, two pictures flashed in his mind:
The first scene was at the banquet held by his precious daughter Hesijia. The blue hat loudly helped him raise the price. Thinking of this scene, he couldn't help but start to reflect on himself. Did he do something wrong? No.
, I did nothing wrong!
Baron Hedwig closed his eyes and began to walk into the second scene in his mind: This scene happened half an hour ago. It was a living room. It was a pair of different pupils, blue and distant.
Pure, deep black mixed with indifference. It seems that there are two different emotions filling his eyes. Moreover, these two emotions are deeply contradictory! Sometimes, when you look at him, you can feel the gentleness in him
He has a peaceful temperament, but sometimes it can make people feel cold all over!
This is a weird guy!
Baron Hedwig made this judgment about the young man with the blue hat. He secretly decided that when the matter here was settled, he must quickly send someone to take Heskar and his daughter out of here.
Baron Hedwig shook his head and sighed deeply. Then he saw the guard running back in a panic.
When the footsteps quickly approached him, for some reason, his heart suddenly became tense!
Chapter completed!
