Lord of the People: Starting from the Goblins

Chapter 130 Go to the holy city to kidnap the blacksmith!
After the auction, Chen Tao and housekeeper Lucien returned to the mansion with the things they got from the auction.

He signaled Lucian to put all the things bought at the auction in the gazebo in the backyard, and then told him to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

After a while, Zi Nan and Fei Yi, who heard the movement, came to the backyard.

After seeing all kinds of items placed on the tables and stools in the gazebo, they walked over together with some excitement.

"Picking up girls back?"

Zi Nan walked up to her and said in a quiet tone, which made people feel a little wronged and resentful, but her expectant eyes when she peeked at those items betrayed her current mood.

How could Chen Tao not know the nature of this little goblin? After a chuckle, he picked up a beautiful purple wooden box from his side and opened it.

The black crystal necklace shining with a charming black luster was immediately revealed in the eyes of the two women.

"Here, this is Zi Nan's gift from you."

Chen Tao picked up the luxurious black crystal necklace from the exquisite purple wooden box, got up and gently put it on Zi Nan's chest.

"Sure enough, my vision was right. Zi Nan, your snow-white skin and the luster of this black crystal are really a perfect match!"

Chen Tao praised.

Zi Nan's face was slightly red, and a trace of joy and happiness flashed in her eyes. Taking advantage of the wonderful mood in her heart, she stepped forward and gave the man a kiss without any shyness.

Then he retreated gracefully, and pushed Fay, who was behind him sourly with his small mouth upturned, to Chen Tao.

"You still don't give Sister Fay a present? Didn't you see that someone's small mouth can be hung with a water bottle?"

Zi Nan's words made Fay blush in embarrassment.

Although Fei Yiguang's age is several times that of Zi Nan's, but for the age of the elves, he has just grown up. It is equivalent to the psychology of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. How can she know how to hide her psychological state of mind?
Chen Tao smiled slightly, opened another blue wooden box, and took out a string of light green jade bracelets from it.

"this is for you."

While speaking, Chen Tao picked up Fay's little hand and put it on for him.

Fay first felt a burst of sweetness in his heart, and after randomly sensing the magic power contained in the bracelet, his eyes lit up slightly.

Enter a little bit of the wood attribute fighting spirit in the bracelet, and the light green jade bracelet shimmers randomly, and the soft light green light shrouds Fay's hands, making him feel a burst of warmth.

"Is this a wood-type healing spell?" Fay asked in surprise.

Chen Tao nodded with a smile, and introduced him in detail, "Yes, there is an intermediate magic 'healing aura' solidified in this bracelet. Although the level is not high, it can be used once a day, and it only needs a tiny amount of energy to activate the spell. , very practical."

Ordinary mid-level spells are naturally of little use to Fay, a silver-ranked elf thief master, but if it is a precious healing spell, it will be of great use.

At least if you suffer from moderate to light flesh injuries, you can quickly heal them with such spells.

"I like it very much." Fay happily stroked the beautiful light green bracelet on his white wrist, with a touch of love hidden in his eyes.

Different from the complex and changeable psychological emotions of most human beings, elves treat their feelings very specifically and purely. If an elf girl really likes someone, then this relationship will last for a long time, and it is very difficult to change her mind.

Fei Yi was just a wood elf girl who had just grown up and was extremely lacking in emotion. After being together for half a year, she had gradually fallen in love with Chen Tao.

"Too pure makes me feel a little guilty."

Chen Tao couldn't help sighing when he saw the undisguised love in the eyes of the elf girl.

It's just a magic accessory worth several thousand gold coins, and it's so easy to please an elf girl
Thinking this way in his heart, Chen Tao didn't stop moving his hands. He opened a rectangular wooden box again, took out a light green rapier with exquisite patterns, and put it into the hands of the elf girl.

"This is a top-grade wood-attribute magic sword of the sixth level, which can increase your strength a little bit. It's a pity that there is no seven-level wood-attribute magic sword in this auction."

Chen Tao said with some regret.

Although there is only a small difference between the sixth-level best and the seventh-level, the gap between them is huge.

The former can only increase the strength of those below the silver level, and the increase is very small for the silver level, while the latter can greatly increase the strength of the silver level masters.

The price difference is several times.

Fay input wood attribute fighting energy into the magic sword in his hand. After feeling it carefully, he found that it could increase her fighting energy strength by [-]%. He smiled slightly and said,

"Very good elves make magic swords, I like it very much."

In fact, it should be a small weapon such as a dagger or a small sword that is suitable for Fay, because her profession is a thief.

But for some unknown reason, this kind of weapon has never appeared in this not-so-small auction, let alone wood-type daggers and small swords.

Chen Tao felt a little strange about this, but he didn't think deeply about it, he just thought it was a coincidence.

But this instead made him want to kidnap a few master blacksmiths who could forge magic weapons and items to come to the territory.

In this case, he can completely equip himself and his subordinates with the most suitable suits and equipment, so as to enhance their strength by a large amount.

"Iron Nine is limited to races, and is not suitable for making magic items. It is barely manufactured, and it is only a very low-end magic item, just relying on the characteristics of the ore material itself."

Chen Tao thought about it.

Tie Jiu has been manufacturing a large number of equipment weapons and various infrastructures for the Gravel Territory, and his contribution is not insignificant.

It can be said that without Iron Nine, it would be impossible for the gravel collar to develop so fast, and the level of civilization would not reach the current level.

At present, the basic equipment of the soldiers and the infrastructure of the territory in the gravel collar are relatively complete, but the truly excellent equipment and weapons are very scarce.

"Tie Jiu can be said to be the forging master on the physical side of science and technology, but what I lack now is the forging master on the magic side."

Chen Tao muttered to himself.

When the dinner was over, Chen Tao immediately called the leader of the stalkers who guarded the mansion, and then gave him the magic scroll filled with his needs, and asked him to take it to the gravel collar and hand it over to Guiyu.

With the two worlds separated, Chen Tao can no longer use the contract to communicate with the soul, and can only use the relatively simple method of magic scrolls to transmit information.

And what is written on the magic scroll is to make Kisame pay more attention to the existence of those who can forge magic items and equip weapons. If they can be plundered to the gravel collar, they will be robbed. The strong steal and plunder.

Anyway, it's just one word, grab it!

the next day.

Chen Tao woke up early, and then took the housekeeper Lucian and two girls Youzai to the famous arena in Oze City.

Looking at the huge building in front of him, Chen Tao was quite amazed.

"This is the power of magic. Such a huge building, if it is purely human, I don't know how long it will take to build it."

That's right, the circular arena that covers several kilometers in front of me was built out of thin air in a month under the auspices of an earth magician, with dozens of earth magicians of different levels. The famous landmark buildings in Ozawa City.

Many powerful fighters came here only after hearing about the arena here, and they just wanted to experience it.

Because Lucien had already bought the tickets for the VIP seats, the four of them were able to move freely.

"Just one person's ticket costs two silver coins. This arena really makes money."

After Zi Nan noticed that other people had to take out two silver coins to enter the arena, she said in surprise.

The kingdom coin conversion rate is based on the decimal system, one purple gold coin = one hundred gold coins = ten thousand silver coins = one million copper coins.

The purchasing power of coins is also quite high, a few copper coins can buy a big steamed stuffed bun, and one silver coin can already eat a meal of meat and drink a large glass of good wine.

Chen Tao noticed the flow of people coming and going in the arena, and nodded involuntarily.

The flow of people is at least 10,000 to [-] a day. After conversion, the daily income is [-] to [-] gold coins, [-] gold coins a month as a base, and [-]+ gold coins a year.
Doesn't seem like much?

Chen Tao recalled the auction items at yesterday's auction. Among them, the cheapest one cost more than [-] gold coins, and the most expensive one exceeded [-] gold coins. After such a comparison, this arena does not rely on tickets to make money at all.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the auction is a high-end auction, and the items auctioned in it are basically magic items or precious ores and specialty products.

"This arena doesn't make money entirely from tickets. Tickets are only used to screen the crowd. The bulk of the money should be made from commissions." Chen Tao said softly.

Zi Nan and Fei Yi were a little confused, but Zi Nan figured it out quickly, because her dynasty had a place similar to this kind of arena, and this type of place must be inseparable from the word 'gambling'.

"Have you noticed that the people who come to the arena are either powerful fighters or people dressed in rich and noble clothes, no matter how poor they are, they are people who have no worries about food and clothing. As long as a small number of these people participate in betting, then the daily turnover is at least tens of thousands of gold coins Even more, and the arena sits on the farm and takes a commission, so you can make a profit without losing money, and you can easily earn thousands of gold coins a day."

Zi Nan and Fei Yi looked at the crowd coming in from the arena, and it was true.

The four of them entered the arena with the flow of people, and then came to the VIP seat that Lucian had reserved yesterday.

Yes, there are VIP seats everywhere, and this arena is no exception.

The place where the VIP seats are located is far away from the crowded places of ordinary people, but a block of stone platforms extending separately from high places.

The stone platform has an area of ​​tens of square meters, and on it is a huge stone chair made of soft monster fur. The chair is so huge that several people can even lie down on it.

And because the stone platform is on a high place, only the edge of the stone platform can be seen from below, but the people above the stone platform cannot be seen. Only the VIPs who are also on the stone platform can see each other.

The terrain has a good view, it is spacious and comfortable, and there are all kinds of fruits for free. Of course, the ticket price for this kind of VIP table is not low. It needs [-] gold coins. This price can already buy a low-level magic weapon.

After Lucian took out the ticket of the VIP table and handed it to a smiling manager, the four of them stepped onto the stage from the back and came to the VIP table No. [-].

Because several people came early, the other protagonist, Catherine, was not there yet.

But Chen Tao and the others didn't care. After all, the ending was already doomed, so their mentality was very relaxed.

Coincidentally, Chen Tao and others started a arena shortly after they arrived.

"The next battle is Ghost Wolf and Blood Tiger. The basic information of the two sides is shown on the panel. Those who want to bet have 3 minutes to place their bets."

Following the voice of the host of the arena, the huge hexagonal screen above the arena displayed the information of the two sides.

This screen can not only display information, but also enlarge the perspective of the battle when the two sides are fighting, so that even seats far away can clearly see it.

Also because of this operation, many rookie fighters who have not seen blood will come here to learn about fighting and feel the atmosphere of fighting.

【ghost wolf】

[Strength: Level [-] Peak (Advanced Warrior)]

[Attribute: wood attribute]

[Record: Ten wins and two losses]

-

【Blood Tiger】

[Strength: Level [-] Peak (Advanced Warrior)]

[attribute: fire attribute]

[Record: Two wins and zero losses]

Odds for two people: 1.2:1
"Peak level five, this strength is converted into our level measurement, that is bronze level four and five, this strength is not too weak."

Chen Tao ate the grape-like fruit that the two women peeled for him, watched the information on the screen quite comfortably, and commented casually.

"Both are of the same level, but the wood attribute of the ghost wolf is restrained by the fire attribute of the blood tiger, but if you look at the record, the ghost wolf is obviously rich in experience. Although it lost two games, it still got a good result. Hmm , at least this ghost wolf has quite a lot of combat experience, but judging from the odds of ghost wolf, everyone is not optimistic about it."

Chen Tao commented so well that the two girls who were waiting on the left and right rolled their eyes.

"Do you want to bet?" Chen Tao asked with a smile.

"No, you can play." Fay shook her head. As an elf, she doesn't like gambling, no, she doesn't even like this kind of bloody battle.

Although she has killed many creatures, it was done for the helplessness of the tribe, and most of the creatures who died because of her injuries were damned, many of them were evil creatures, born to oppose their elves.

Zi Nan also shook her head slightly, she did not have such interest either.

When Chen Tao saw this, he didn't force it anymore, and shouted to Lucian who was standing in front of him,

"Bet me a thousand gold coins on that ghost wolf."

Lucian nodded slightly, walked to the magic operation table on the VIP table for placing bets, and made bets.

It has to be said that in this different world, special efforts have been made in places that some nobles can enjoy, and many items similar to the previous blue star have been studied and researched.

Just as Chen Tao and the others were comfortably watching the blood-boiling life-and-death battle below from the VIP platform.

Catherine came.

In addition to the two female guards who have been following, there is also a middle-aged man with eagle-like eyes.
