The scene then changed to a blood-colored mountain peak. Two people rode two horses, and a giant dragon ghost fell from the sky. The magic barrier was opened and they penetrated deep into the dragon's nest.
The piles of Nubao inside made the members of the Sambian Business Council jealous.
But what happened next was even more terrifying. The warrior's shadow seemed to come to life and turned into a terrifying shadow monster. It swallowed up not only the giant dragon ghost but also the mountain of Nubao in one mouthful.
They finally knew how the red dragon's nest was emptied.
From the beginning to the end, this image perspective is candid.
The warrior who could control shadows obviously had a terrifying sense of perception. He seemed to have noticed something and glanced at the location where the candid shot was taken.
Then there were the sounds of panicked running footsteps, and everything ended from there.
The entire merchant council did not discuss any more this time, but fell into silence.
Because this matter is beyond their knowledge.
No one recognized what kind of spell the other party used, which could swallow up a giant dragon ghost and a mountain of gold coins.
People are always in awe of the unknown.
Odus's voice sounded slowly again: "This is what happened. Everyone, let's talk about it. What do you think about this matter?"
"I feel that our treatment of the Vizeme Manor this time is a bit too tough, which is inconsistent with our past style of doing things. We should try a few more times to get this manor from him through money."
"Stop thinking about how to buy the Vizeme Manor. Haven't you seen the fact clearly? That young man named Gavin has advanced business thinking, and he cooperated with Regina's opera singing troupe.
Such a bold move is not something ordinary people can do. Do you think they have tasted the benefits and will terminate this cooperation?
No, absolutely not, they will only get bigger and bigger.
Under this kind of operation, even ordinary wine can be sold for three or four times its original price.
And I have reason to suspect that they may have mastered the process of making ghost wine.
No, I was just doubting it at first, but now I am 100% sure."
A loud voice, a generous and powerful way.
Odus' eyes fell on the tall man and asked curiously: "Congressman Candrick, why are you so sure?"
"Because the shadow he manipulated, didn't you find that the shadow resembles the same thing?" Senator Candrick did not answer directly, but asked a question.
This question made all the members of the Business Council think deeply.
"Manor, that shadow looks like a manor."
"Yes, I also thought about it. It does look very much like the shadow cast by a manor on the ground."
Many congressmen shouted.
"I can guarantee that it is Vizeme Manor!" Candrick said with an extremely sure tone, "It is not as simple as turning into a ghost manor, but it has become an extraordinary mage tower, and it has a connection with the owner.
That kind of thing, if we don’t know the roots or the bottom of it, if we want to seize a strange mage tower with an owner, it’s hard for us not to suffer a loss.”
hiss……
There was a gasp of air in the auditorium.
Candrick's guess is really amazing.
But there is no denying its rationality.
Because only in this way can we clearly explain the uniqueness of Vizeme Manor.
Only then can we explain a series of unusual things.
It's one thing to rob an estate.
Looting a mage tower is another story.
Even if they grab it, they don't dare to live in it.
Who knows what kind of dark and dangerous mechanisms are hidden inside, and a little carelessness may lead to death.
Well, even if it is not the Mage Tower, no one dares to go in and live in it now because it is now a haunted manor.
In Sambia, there are always ten or eight cases every year of wealthy businessmen dying in haunted manors, ghost castles or evil spirit residences.
Only a handful of people are interested in this, and most of them are deeply wary of this kind of place.
This is why there are so many ghost manors or ghost castles in the surrounding valleys. They don’t follow Gavin’s example and go to recover them. Instead, they spend a lot of money and work hard to build their own manor bit by bit. The reason for the castle
--Safety.
The fear of death is not a disease unique to Odus, but a common problem among most people.
Especially those with money and power, they are more afraid of death than ordinary people.
A glimmer of light flashed in Odus' cloudy eyes as he stared at Candrick. He seemed surprised that the other party made such a conjecture, and then asked: "Congressman Candrick, it is for this reason that you think they can mass-produce ghosts."
wine?"
"Yes." Candrick nodded and said, "I once asked a priest who is good at channeling negative energy to try it. The difficulty of artificially making ghost wine is far more difficult than expected. It is not as simple as channeling negative energy into the wine.
If you do this, you will only get a bottle of rancid evil water, which will cause stomach ulcers if you drink it, instead of a ghost wine with unique effects."
Candrick's eyes swept over the other members of the Business Council, "Don't tell me that you haven't done this kind of experiment."
"Indeed, the production of ghost wine is by no means as simple as the injection of negative energy. There may be mysteries and techniques that we have not mastered."
"But I have carefully studied the emergence of ghost wine, and it seems to have appeared out of thin air. Sir Kronfer is just a well-known wine merchant. Producing crystal wine with unique quality should be the limit of his ability. He has no
The ability to make ghost wines, especially large batches.”
"Ghost wine appeared with the resumption of Vizeme Manor. The half-elf named Gavin should be the lucky one who ate ready-made food instead of making it by himself, so the key to ghost wine is Vizeme
Plum Manor.”
"According to normal people's thinking, if a manor is recovered, a priest or a paladin should be hired as soon as possible to completely purify the manor. However, the new manor owner still did the opposite even though he had a good relationship with the Hammer of Light.
Continue to build the ghostly reputation of the manor, and even open it to the public, allowing others to enter and visit.
I think there is an ulterior motive here. After much deliberation, there is only one explanation that is the most reasonable and reasonable, and that is that it is used to produce ghost wine. Only when the place remains eerie and full of negative energy can it be produced in large quantities.
Ghost wine, I think Congressman Candrick, is speculating that they have mass production of ghost wine for this reason.”
"Hiss... you mean that it is not that easy to imitate ghost wine. In a short period of time, it will still be the exclusive product of Vizeme Manor? If this is the case, the value of Vizeme Manor is far greater than we imagined.
big.
It can produce at least 20,000 bottles of ghost wine every year. Even after the market price stabilizes, if it monopolizes the market, it can sell at least 150 Nuba bottles, with an annual output value of 3 million. This is a company with thousands of
Horse-drawn carriages, the total annual output value of a large caravan with tens of thousands of employees.”
"I heard that several adults are sending people around to look for similar ghost manors and ghost castles, and are actively stocking up on wine. Don't you want to simulate the loss of Vizeme Manor to see if you can create a ghost?
Wine, how about studying the process and secrets of its production?”
"So what? Don't you want to master the production method of this precious magic wine?"
"Of course I do, but I'm afraid that this method will take a long time. By the time you come up with the research, the ghost wine produced by Vizeme Manor has already occupied the entire market share, and what you produce will not be sold at all."
"Congressman Arrigo, why do I feel that there is something in your words?"
"Previously, we were only considering the problem of the wine produced by the Vizeme Manor, but we forgot that if this kind of wine does not have a unique production process, but is caused by magical changes caused by the external environment, they do not necessarily have to use their own wine.
The wine produced can be completely imported from outside for processing.
I heard that at this ghost wine auction, the other party took the opportunity to consume as many as 50,000 bottles of ordinary wine. Once it is transformed into ghost wine, who can tell whether this wine is produced by Vizeme? Or from other estates?
Produced? In other words, who will tell the difference?"
"Fifty thousand? Hiss, hiss... This number is too astonishing. Once all the transformations are completed and put into the market, it will have a fatal impact on the price. The market for this kind of magic wine is relatively narrow, and those who can afford it,
Just a special group of people.
The 10,000 bottles flowing into the market are enough for the entire market to digest for a year and a half, not to mention that these ghost wines are not all produced by the Vizeme Manor. It is said that Lord Ilmet and the Hammer of Light all share
I got thousands of them, and I guess the manor has more in stock."
"Monopoly! This is a shameless monopoly! We must break this monopoly! The Vizeme Manor must not be in the hands of one person, but in the hands of a group like our Merchant Council!"
"That's right, that's exactly what it should be!"
Candrick said angrily: "What time is it now? Are you still thinking about other people's properties? Even if the annual output value of Wezeme Manor reaches 10 million, it has nothing to do with us!"
"Has our Lord Candrick's knighthood addiction struck again? If we don't care about the property of Wezeme Manor, what are we gathering here for? At this time, we might as well sleep at home with our lover and wife in our arms!"
"Are you afraid because the other party has shown some unusual strength? Are you ready to let go?"
"Have you come up with a better strategy?"
"Not yet!"
After the initial shock, the members of the Merchant Council gradually regained their composure.
It's not that they have never seen strong winds and waves, but the other party's performance was too unexpected, and it didn't really scare them back.
If it was really because of a nine-ring spell that a young dragon was killed, it would completely frighten them to death, and their Sambia would have fallen apart long ago.
In other words, stop doing anything and just be your own businessman.
After a period of discussion, they further determined the short-term uniqueness of Vizeme Manor and its potential huge commercial value.
Although they are looking for corresponding substitutes, not to mention whether they can find them easily, even if they find them, whether they can replicate the special characteristics of Vizeme Manor is still a big problem.
In the end, it only made them more coveted for the Vizeme Estate.
Odus' eyes were still on Candrick and he continued to ask: "Congressman Candrick, what do you think we should do next?"
Candrick replied without thinking: "Stop all stupid hostilities. We should go through legal procedures with the other party and put pressure on Lord Ilmet as originally planned. After all, Sir Colonfell's purchase agreement is
Signed with him, he has the responsibility to ensure our interests in Battle Valley."
In the Sambia Business Council, they can only pretend to be impartial and impartial, but there is no real impartiality.
If that were the case, he should not be here, but go to the monastery to become a paladin.
Candrick just disagrees with other members of the Merchant Council in terms of his style of conduct, which does not mean that he is on Gavin's side.
