Lords go left, Emperors go right

"You ask me, but I don't know how to answer. Anyway, Queen Nightingale is not easy to seduce. Even handsome guys don't work."

"Why are you all discussing women? Is there no one who can share with me about men..."

"Go away. I have nothing to talk about with someone who doesn't like women."

"Stay away from me, I'm normal."

"Fuck, that's enough of you guys. You don't have any muscles at all, and I'm not interested even if you pay me."

Maxim and his friends were making fun of each other as usual. The Nightingale Queen they were talking about was the person in charge of the "Exchange No. 666", also known as the "Pawnshop No. 13". She was a rare lady in this industry. Because she always wore a nightingale beak mask when she went out for activities, she was honored by the merchants as the Nightingale Queen.

No one knows the origin of the Nightingale Queen. Except for her gender, everything else is a mystery. It is said that the Nightingale Queen is not a human, and she existed when the exchange was founded. There is also a more reliable theory that the Nightingale Queen is just a symbol of identity, passed down from generation to generation. Many people accept this theory, after all, the body outline of the Nightingale Queen learned from the predecessors is not consistent.

No one can guess what generation the Nightingale Queen they saw is, so they can only call her the Nightingale Queen. The Nightingale Queen's figure is not fixed, switching between mature woman, otome and loli. It is not clear how many generations she is and whether she has a substitute.

The exchange's "Black Trading Week" event was also packed with people. The trading scene was very hot, and a large number of piled-up goods were put on the market for sale, with prices so low that they were almost dirt cheap. It is hard to imagine that such a sinful transaction could be as common as buying vegetables in the market.

The prices are clearly marked, and they are already discounted. No further negotiation is accepted. The merchants who come to the event compare prices and whisper to each other, commenting on the goods, talking about their own opinions, and using their years of experience to communicate with their peers to see if the price is appropriate, how much they can earn after reselling, and what the profit is.

After entering the exchange, you can see goods placed randomly everywhere, and the prices are very low, which can be said to be sold at a low price. Due to the needs of the war, the goods of the type of strong men will not be overstocked and unsalable, and they are all best-selling products. Almost all of them can be sold out quickly. However, this type of goods is also a high-consumption type and will be used up quickly.

The overstocked goods are basically non-man-sized goods. In order to free up the warehouse, the exchange will try to sell the goods before the end of the month. Therefore, the price will continue to drop until the last day of the month, when the price will drop to the lowest, almost like giving it away for free. It is no problem to say that the price is free.

Maxim is already an old customer, so of course he won't shop around like the newbies, because the resale price of the goods won't be too high, and the profit margin is not big. After all, each merchant's cargo ship has limited storage space, so it is necessary to use the storage space reasonably, and there is no extra space to store these low-cost goods.

These processed goods were placed in groups of three on a 冂-shaped iron fence. The goods had different hair colors, eye colors, and body shapes, all standing in human-like postures. Each of them barely touched the ground with their toes, their hands raised above their heads, with black metal handcuffs on their wrists, and hung up by iron chains. On their open slender legs, there were black metal shackles on their ankles, connected by iron chains in the middle.

The price of handling goods is very low, the highest will not exceed five hundred copper coins, and the lowest is about one hundred copper coins. In order to facilitate customers to choose, there is almost no equipment for handling goods. The only equipment left on the lower body is the pair of black silk stockings on the legs, and a thin pure black triangular inner armor. There is no equipment on the upper body, and a red leather ring neck guard on the snow-white neck, as well as a black eye patch that seals the vision and a red spherical prop with holes that limits the ability to speak.

The goods equipped with black eye cloth and red ball props with holes indicate that the goods have not been used, are original and unopened, and are still in perfect condition. The disposal price may be higher. Some disposal goods do not have these. You can see the blushing face, blurred eyes, and beautiful eyes without highlights. This kind of goods are used second-hand goods or even multi-hand goods. The selling price is the lowest, about one or two hundred copper coins. If customers approach a little closer, they can hear strange and charming voices.

Novice traders like to shop here. Although they are dealing with goods, the appearance is still acceptable. The exchange has a special way of storing goods. Through some mysterious potions and special methods, the skin color of the goods becomes whiter, and the altitude of the peak is increased to increase the sense of bumps and curves.

Basically, when the goods are ready for trading, their appearance and size will be greatly improved. The novice merchants have limited funds and cannot compete with some senior veterans for high-end goods, so they choose to try their luck in shopping outside.

"One-Eye, we handled a lot of cargo this month. It seems to be more than last month."

"Fatty, we're not buying anything here anyway, let's go to the inner yard and take a look."

Maxim and his business partners glanced casually at the outer area and then walked to the inner area, where the old hands like them traded. There was a big difference between the inner area and the outer area of ​​the exchange. The outer area had no restrictions, but the inner area had strict entry requirements. Merchants had to be old hands who had completed transactions with a total value of more than 10,000 gold coins on Devil's Island. Only old customers were eligible to enter the inner area.

Famous businessmen like Maxim and his friends have obtained special identification certificates issued by Devil's Island, a red badge with a devil's head. With this badge in hand, they can enter the inner court. After verifying their identity with the guard at the gate, Maxim and his friends walked into the inner court.

The goods in the exchange are much more expensive than those outside. Theoretically, the lowest price is more than 500 copper coins, and the average price of most goods is more than 1,000 copper coins. Similar to the outside, there is also a display stage here.

The stage is relatively exquisite, with pink-bottomed circular booths. In the middle of the booth stands a sturdy ultra-thin column, with three horizontal windmill-like brackets above the column. The brackets are rotatable, and three goods are displayed in a group on a booth, arranged in a triangular position.

These goods are at least one level higher than the goods outside in terms of appearance, figure, and other aspects. They also have their hands raised above their heads, and are equipped with black metal handcuffs on their wrists. The handcuffs have iron chains connected to the bracket above, forcing the goods to be in a half-hanging posture.

The cargo were all standing in a V-shaped position, and because they were suspended, they were standing on tiptoe, barely touching the ground with their toes. The snow-white, slender legs were spread apart, and there were also black metal shackles on the ankles, connected by an iron chain in the middle.

As a display, the goods are equipped with thin inner armor made of lace series materials with lace edges. Their slender legs are equipped with silk stockings corresponding to the color of their inner armor. The colors are mainly white, pink and black. Each booth has three colors. There will not be a situation where more than two goods have the same color of inner armor and silk stockings.

These goods have one thing in common with the goods outside, that is, the ones equipped with black eye cloths and red ball-shaped props with holes are all first-hand goods, and the price is more than 1,000 copper coins. The goods without these special accessories are second-hand goods, and the price range is between 500 copper coins and 1,000 copper coins, and will not exceed 1,000 copper coins. Those booths will rotate slowly and automatically, and with the accompaniment of music and light tubes, they are particularly eye-catching.

The inside of the exchange is just as lively as the outside. There are more than a dozen auction booths, where some high-end goods are randomly auctioned. The "Black Trading Week" event does not mean that all goods are cheap. When selling the backlog of goods, the exchange will take advantage of the large number of people to randomly auction some high-end goods and sell high-end goods through promotional activities.

After arriving here, Maxim separated from his friends and it was time for them to do their own business. In order to avoid possible disputes and grudges, experienced merchants basically went their separate ways after arriving at the auction site, and would not partner up or team up to shop together.

"The latest goods, the starting bid is 100 gold coins. If you miss this time, there will be no next time. Hurry up if you want to make an offer."

"Isn't that Earl Dylan's Qian..."

"What earl, duke, or famous lady, they are all the same here, don't you know? Earl Dylan was defeated and went bankrupt not long ago. In order to repay his debts, even his own..."

"The back is nice, but the front isn't nice enough, otherwise the price would be higher."

"Why bother with all that? It'll be the same after the lights are turned off. As long as it works, that's fine."

"However, the starting price of 100 gold coins is a bit expensive..."

Maxim stopped by a booth and looked at the auction items with interest. Two strong men with bare upper bodies, wearing only black boxer briefs and flip-flops, were escorting a high-end product to show to the merchants who came to the auction.

Behind the booth was a red curtain. At this time, the spotlight had gathered into a circle, shining on the high-end item to be auctioned. It was a snow-white phantom with a graceful figure, curves and charming body curves. The high-end item had beautiful sea-blue hair, a standard long straight hairstyle, and a pair of beautiful sea-blue eyes. The golden hair ornaments on her head seemed to confirm her noble status and background. However, all of that was gone, and time had long passed.

The high-end goods have no equipment to cover up, and all the secrets are perfectly displayed in front of the customers. The high-end goods put their hands parallel in front of them, and wore a large rectangular wooden shackle on their wrists to restrict their movements. On their snow-white necks, they wore a pair of steel rings with a silver-white metallic luster. There was a ring in the middle of the neck guard, and a red linen rope was tied to it. The other end of the rope was controlled by the special trainer in front. This person was forcibly pulled to this special auction booth. There was a long metal chain under the neck guard, which was connected to the rectangular wooden sign hanging in front of him. The sign marked the starting price and name of the high-end auction item and other basic information.

The eyes of the high-level cargo were desperate and terrified. The white phantom trembled under the light, shaking with fear. The ability to speak had been completely sealed, and he was forced to bite the long stick-shaped prop that perfectly sealed his ability to speak. Under the light, you could see crystal tears on the handsome face of the high-level cargo, and large patches of sweat on his body.

Standing behind the high-end goods was the auctioneer, the host of the auction stage. He was pressing the back of the heads of the high-end and low-end goods with one big hand, forcing them to raise their heads and maintain a special posture of holding their heads high and chests out. The direction was constantly changing, so that the gentleman customers could observe better and decide whether to participate in the bidding.

After all, the starting price of the goods was 100 gold coins, and these veterans had to consider whether they could make money by reselling them. If the profit was too low, they might as well buy other more valuable goods. The other party was at best a human, and for veteran customers, goods that were not aliens were not worth 100 gold coins and did not meet the standard of rare goods.

"What's wrong? No one is willing to make an offer? One hundred gold coins is not a loss."

After the high-end goods were put on the stand, the gentleman customers looked at them for a long time, but no one bid. Those present were all old customers, and they were cunning and would not bid so easily. The starting price of 100 gold coins was a price only for high-end goods. This high-end goods on the stand, except for its status, did not meet the standards of high-end goods. Moreover, that status was a thing of the past and had long been worthless.

Many buyers don’t care about this, because it will be worthless if it is sold. If it is bought for more than 100 gold coins, the resale price may not even be able to get back the auction price. Therefore, the customers who are watching are waiting, waiting for the right time to make a move, waiting for the other party to increase the discount.

Seeing that the gentlemen did not move, the high-end goods himself became a little anxious and almost cried. If there is no buyer, it will become unsalable and the price will drop. Next time, it is estimated that it will not even be qualified to be put on the auction stand. If you are lucky, it will be displayed in the exchange. If you are unlucky, it will be directly put outside the exchange as cheap goods and sold at a low price. It will be even worse at that time. In comparison, it is better to be bought now.

"Everyone, please be patient. The seller just said that if you take a picture, you can get one free. There are new goods and gifts."

"I knew this guy was going to be a big deal. One hundred gold coins is too expensive. Only a fool would buy it without some kind of gift."

"The new gifts are good, they should be high-end goods. They seem to be from the Kingdom of Snowvald..."

"The Kingdom of Snowfield was destroyed by that superpower a few months ago. I didn't expect that there would be a real thing this time..."

There was a tremor in the crowd, and they were obviously shocked by the new high-end goods. Even these veterans were shocked. This original high-end goods as gifts even seemed to be the main attraction. Its appearance was far better than the high-end goods that were auctioned before, and its bumps and curves were also several levels higher than the high-end goods that were auctioned before.

This change once made people wonder if the host of the booth had made a mistake in the order of priority of the high-end goods to be auctioned. However, the gentlemen customers were all experienced. After calming down a little, they thought about it and understood the reason. This gift was from a member of the royal family of a fallen country, and there were many political factors involved.

If you buy it, you may have to face the attacks of the remnants of the country's fall, those who want to restore the country. The price to bear is very high. The purpose of the auctioneer is obvious. He wants to give these difficult high-end goods to those merchants as gifts. It is a standard operation of passing the buck. If there is any trouble, he will not look for the auctioneer and the exchange, but only for the buyers.

The high-grade goods of the gift should be considered as special-grade goods, but if it does not go through the formal auction process, it can only be considered as high-grade goods at most. The upper limit of the grade of gift goods is high-grade, and special-grade goods cannot be used as gifts. This is one of the unspoken rules of the exchange. It can only be given away as a gift after being downgraded. The original goods have not undergone much special treatment, and when they were forcibly brought to the auction booth, they were still equipped.

The gift of high-end goods is silver-white shawl hair, standard long straight hairstyle, a pair of beautiful light blue eyes like sapphires, and a beautiful pink dress. The dress is torn in many places, and the front of the lower skirt is almost torn in half. The thin inner armor with pure white lace worn inside is exposed to the air and clearly visible. Most of the upper body is exposed, and the lower body is completely visible.

On the gift's head, there is a luxurious gold and gemstone headdress, with two heart-shaped gemstones on the left and right sides of the headdress, one is a pink gemstone, and the other is a light blue gemstone. In addition, there are many small prismatic pink gemstones and light blue gemstones, which are enough to show the noble status of this gift.

There are linen lines on the gift, wrapped in a special and professional way, tightening the upper body, making the originally impressive peak increase in altitude and size, and appearing firmer and rounder. The lower part is equipped with linen lines, which are deliberately pressed over the outer edge of the ravine. The knot is just outside the most sensitive area, forcing the gift to not move or struggle, for fear of being stimulated, which would be even worse.

The gift was also escorted to the stage by two people. The person in front pulled the linen rope, and the other end of the rope was connected to the snow-white neck of the gift, in the middle of the black leather ring neck guard. The person behind stretched out his hand and pushed the gift, forcing it to walk onto this special auction display stand for the gentlemen and businessmen who came to bid to appreciate and appraise it. The gift's ability to speak was also blocked. The red ball-shaped prop with holes in its mouth was particularly eye-catching, and clear water threads could be seen at the corners of its mouth.

The gift lowered his head, his face flushed, his pretty face showing a mixture of reluctance and disappointment, as if he had not yet accepted the reality. After all, he had not been specially trained, and he was still on stage in his original outfit. Maybe deep in his heart, there was still a light of hope for the restoration of the country. As the gift came on stage, the auction here officially began, with a starting price of 100 gold coins, buy one get one free.

Considering the political factors behind the gifts and the auction method of not selling individually, most of the merchants did not participate in the auction's bundled sales. These guys were just watching the fun, most of them were watching the show. Most people were waiting for the few people with gambler attributes to take the bid, and then quickly started the auction process for the next item.

Maxim, who likes to take risks, participated in the bidding of this auction. After several rounds of bidding with several people who seemed to be hired by the auctioneer, Maxim finally won the auction price and gifts for 250 gold coins.

"Two hundred and fifty gold coins per time."

"Two hundred and fifty gold coins twice. Are there any gentlemen who would like to bid?"

"Two hundred and fifty gold coins three times, deal. Let us congratulate Mr. Clown for winning this auction."

After the auctioneer announced that Maxim had won, thunderous applause broke out. The gentlemen merchants all applauded and congratulated him, as they finally found a sucker who bought the difficult goods. They could quickly start bidding for the next high-end goods.

Maxim was not a fool. He spent 250 gold coins to buy the two high-quality goods, but he had no intention of reselling them. Maxim wanted to buy them as gifts for a gentleman prince who cooperated with him. He was afraid that the gentleman lord did not like foreign goods and had no interest in elves, so he bought two more human goods. If he gave them away for free, the other party would probably be willing to give them to him.

As for political factors and risks, with the deep background and political power behind the prince, as well as the terrifying strength of his own territory, there is no need to worry about the retaliation of the restoration forces. The only thing that was extremely embarrassing was the high-end goods being auctioned and the gifts that came with it. These two goods could not accept the fact that the buyer who bought them was a bloated, fat-looking clown wearing a mask.

The white phantom struggled and his expression became very ugly. However, this could not change the reality. As the auctioneer raised his fist and slapped the raised and elastic buttocks behind the goods, the auction was finalized after two strange slapping sounds. There was no hammer here, and there was no normal "one hammer to settle" in a normal auction house. This place used a similar special method, called "one butt to settle".

The two items trembled all over and stopped moving, knowing that struggling was useless. I can only hope that the middleman who bought them doesn't have too many bad tastes, otherwise I will be abused in the future. The auction house took the two high-end items away and packed them up. They will not hand them over directly to Maxim. As a special middleman, they are just helping with the auction.

For a real transaction, the buyer and seller need to meet face to face to complete the transaction. After the transaction is completed, the seller pays the handling fee to the exchange and transfers it to the auction house. The auction house is just a middleman. This seemingly troublesome transaction method is actually to avoid unnecessary troubles and disputes. Due to the obvious difference in the gold content of the currencies minted by the various countries on the human continent, especially in the case of gold coins, merchants from different continents may cause disputes if they are not careful when trading.

Therefore, the exchange and the auction house only determined the approximate transaction price. The specific gold coin to be used for settlement required the seller and the buyer to meet and discuss in detail, and then complete the final transaction with the gold coin that both parties could accept. After Maxim's auction was completed, someone from the auction house came to guide him and took him to the special area deep in the exchange to meet the buyer.

Maxim was a little surprised at first. He didn't expect the identity of the mysterious seller to be so high-ranking. The seller who could enter the special area was not something that ordinary nobles could do. In all the transactions Maxim had made so far, it was the first time he encountered a seller who could enter the special area of ​​the exchange, so he was a little reserved.

"Mr. Clown, don't be nervous. The seller is not a gentleman, but a lady. It should be easy to negotiate."

"I hope so! To be honest, for people in our business, gender doesn't affect the price."

The guide saw that Maxim was acting a little unnatural, so he introduced the seller to him. The seller was a lady and should be easy to talk to. If they were all gentlemen, it would be easy for them to argue over which gold coin to use for settlement. They all wanted to use their own gold coins, so that their own profits would be maximized, and the possibility of a fight could not be ruled out.

This kind of thing is commonplace in the exchange, and it happens almost every day. Maxim did not agree with the guide's words. In his mind, there are few ladies working in this industry, and they must be difficult to deal with. They are definitely more difficult to deal with than most gentlemen in the same industry. His plan to try paper currency settlement is probably going to fail. It's okay for men, but it's uncertain whether women will buy it.

The special area is also an auction place, but with Maxim's identity, he could not enter the special area before. The gentlemen and ladies here are all royal members of the empires of the Southern Continent of the Human Race, that is, the big slave owners. To be honest, Maxim does not want to deal with sellers of this status, fearing that it will involve too much unnecessary trouble. The relationship between the two parties is like that between a regular consortium and a mobile vendor. They dislike each other and lack a foundation of trust.

Maxim decided to meet her reluctantly, considering that she was a lady and the transaction price had been agreed upon. Maybe he could come to an agreement. After all, the auction had already gone through the formal process. If he suddenly broke the contract, it would be bad for his reputation and would also make the exchange feel embarrassed, which would directly affect future business dealings.

The high-end goods auctioned and displayed in the special area are half of the goods of the same race as the two goods Maxim had bought before, and the other half are goods of alien races. Of course, these alien race goods specifically refer to those alien races that are hostile to the human race, usually mainly the two races of Warcraft. Due to the influence of the covenant, the exchange will not allow the goods of alien races that have a covenant relationship with the human race to appear.

One of the important reasons why Maxim didn't drive his super cargo ship "Paradise" to Alcatraz was because of this restriction. The fat man's alien goods, the elves and the human race have basically signed a friendly treaty with the countries on various continents. Maxim's business is illegal, and his ship will be seized if he drives it to Alcatraz.

Maxim looked around. After all, it was his first time to enter the special area. Maybe he would have something to brag about to his friends when he returned. Display stands for displaying foreign goods could be seen everywhere in the special area. They were very different from those in the inner area. These display stands were large bird cages hanging in the air. In each bird cage, there was a foreign goods with a pair of snow-white wings. They were all blondes with beautiful eyes of different colors, including red, blue, yellow, green, and purple. They looked holy.

Of course, these are not angels. No matter how desperate the human race is, they don't have the courage and ability to deal with angels. The alien goods on display are also called sub-angels, which are winged people, one of the branches of the orcs. With a headdress similar to a holy halo, they can actually pretend to be real angels.

The alien cargo in the bird cages were all kneeling facing forward, with their slender legs spread out to the sides, kneeling with their knees down, and flaxen lines holding their calves together. Each of them raised their hands above their heads and crossed them, with flaxen lines holding their wrists, hanging their hands up.

The alien goods on display had no equipment, only a pair of black silk long gloves and black silk stockings, and a red leather ring protector on the white neck. In order to prevent it from using magical powers, the ability to speak was sealed. An oversized black leather mask was matched with a black spherical prop, which was perfectly worn on the face under the fixation of the triangular black leather belt mask, which was simply double insurance.

The upper body of the exhibit is at its highest point, and at the commanding points on both sides, you can see two small golden bells on the wearer, which make beautiful sounds as he breathes. If you look down, you can see a white cylindrical prop that is constantly running, as well as a long pink line and a small pink rectangular switch prop connected to both legs, fixed with linen lines.

Under the influence of constant vibrations, the alien cargo could not concentrate on meditation, and naturally could not launch an attack. The helplessness in the exhibits' eyes and the clear tear marks in the corners of their eyes were very obvious, and the bottom of the birdcage was always very dirty.

"Mr. Clown, if you are interested, you can participate in the auction here later."

"I'll think about it later. Business is more important now."

The guide took the opportunity to sell other goods to Maxim, but Maxim immediately declined. The starting price of the goods on display was more than one thousand gold coins, which was too expensive. Moreover, the control and transportation costs were not cheap, and the cost before finding a buyer was too high. It was one of the high-risk goods, and Maxim did not want to take such a big risk for the time being.

In addition to the exhibits, the auction booths in the special area were also surrounded by gentleman customers. The auction booths were all groups of two alien goods, led by the auctioneer to the auction display booth with a red curtain behind. The auction booth closest to Maxim was a pair of animal-eared alien goods, both with fox ears and fox tails. One had long silver-gray hair, black eyes, long straight hair, and wore a black vest and leather jacket. The other had orange refined short hair and golden eyes, and wore a white vest and leather jacket. The hair color of these two matched the color of the animal ears and tail.

The leather coats of the two alien cargoes were torn open at the top, only covering their navels, leaving the top empty, with only thin inner armor on the lower body, which was a lace-up style, and a pair of silk stockings in the same color as their hair, and red high heels.

As a beastman's merchandise, it had been processed before going on stage. Metal shackles were worn on the ankles, connected by a thin golden chain. A linen-colored line was wrapped around the upper body, tightening the pair of high peaks of a considerable height, indirectly increasing the size. A rectangular wooden sign was hung below the line, on which was marked the auction reserve price of the alien merchandise.

The orcs' most advantageous weapon has also been processed. The claws are wrapped in a pair of special black gloves, and the wrists are locked with iron chains and small locks, so they cannot use the claws to tear the opponent. Combined with the horizontal red long stick-shaped prop, a light bite of the cargo not only seals the ability to speak, but also seals the sharp fangs.

The alien cargo had no ability to resist. A red leather collar was worn around the snow-white neck. The other end of the black string connected to the collar was pulled by the auctioneer, forcing him to stand on the auction table. His hands were placed on both sides, raised, but not above his head.

The auctioneer reached out from behind and pulled the hair or animal ears of the exotic goods, explaining to the gentlemen under the booth that some of the exotic goods with fierce eyes and unyielding will be treated with black eye patches. However, there is basically no way to resist here. The clear sweat stains on the body, the tear marks at the corners of the eyes, and the water marks at the corners of the mouth are the best proof that once they come to this auction house, even the most ferocious goods will be tamed and submissive.

"The starting bid is 600 gold coins. If it's 1,000 gold coins, it will be auctioned in groups. Everyone, please bid as soon as possible. We are all well-trained and will not be aggressive."

Maxim was just looking at them. The starting price of each item was over 600 gold coins, which was slightly cheaper than the display items by over 400 gold coins. In essence, they were still not worth the money. The gentleman customers in the special area, because of their status, were not like Maxim and his friends, who bought and resold for profit.

Many of these buyers bought for their own use, so Maxim was reluctant to compete with them. If the other party was not looking to resell the items and did not consider profit, the bidding price would be very high. Maxim could not afford to compete with them, and even if he won the bidding price in the end, he would not make much money.

At this time, Maxim had already arrived at the location of the mysterious seller, which was a luxurious imperial suite of the highest standards in the special area. The guide motioned Maxim to wait outside for a while, and he went in first to inform the seller whether it was convenient to discuss business now.

Maxim understood this, as using this kind of room was for doing something unspeakable, and prior notification was necessary. The only thing he didn't understand was that the people inside were supposed to be ladies, and they could still have fun like this, with so many tricks.

"The person has been brought here. Can we...if it's not convenient, I'll ask him to wait outside."

"It's not inconvenient, just let him in."

"Tsk tsk, someone actually dared to buy such a difficult product. It seems that there are quite a few courageous people among those merchants."

"Of course, I've said it before, some merchants are much more courageous than those nobles, only in this way can they achieve great things, but those nobles still don't believe it."

Maxim was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was more than just the mysterious seller in the room. From the tone of voice, there were three different female voices. It seemed that the mysterious seller was already in the room, accompanied by her bestie and friends. However, the other party was quite bold and directly invited Maxim into the room.

At the urging of the guide, Maxim entered the luxurious imperial suite with an overly luxurious interior decoration. The guide did not come in, but helped to close the door and waited outside the room. Then it was time for the buyer and seller to discuss business. As a middleman, he was no longer involved and left it to them to negotiate on their own.

Chapter 1 The Prince and His Fleet

On the western coastline of the Central Continent, in the territory of Prince Aosta, the Bloomfield region, after careful management by a certain gentleman lord, the region represented by St. Louis, an important port town in the coastal area, began to prosper. Thanks to Aosta's free trade policy, the Port of St. Louis became the only free trade port on the coast of the Central Continent that did not impose tariffs.

The number of merchant ships and cargo ships that come here is increasing day by day. Whether it is dark merchants, legitimate merchants, or even pirates, they can find opportunities and wealth in Aosta. Aosta is not satisfied with this situation. He plans to build a new super city, Odysseysret, based on the framework of the port town of St. Louis. In order to expand this new town, a lot of manpower and material resources are needed.

Although Aosta's expansion plan adopted a new installment financing method and also received investment from the new noble daughters from the northern continent of the human race, the "rich ladies" in the northern continent of the human race, led by Lannis, invested a lot of money in Aosta's plan. However, these still could not fully meet Aosta's needs.

Osta soon found a new source of funds, which was his neighbor in the Bloomfield area of ​​his territory, or more precisely, his neighbor on the sea. In the Atlandia Sea near his territory, there was the secret treasury of the Abigrans Empire, one of the five major island empires.

This secret treasure house was built by the island nation since its founding and has been passed down from generation to generation. The treasures are abundant, and if they can be obtained, Aosta will be able to solve the thorny problem of insufficient construction funds in the territory.

The third princess of the Abiglans Empire, Granier, is currently seeking political asylum in the territory of Aosta. This gentleman uses her as a breakthrough point and has a more suitable reason to intervene in the internal battle for the throne of that island country. Aosta's purpose is more to go for the national treasure.
