Chapter 100 (1/2)
Hearing the words of the old man with white hair, several other leaders nodded one after another. In recent decades, the top ten aristocratic families in the thieves' world have always been here. These aristocratic families have taken turns to sit on the throne. They have made good relations with each other by marriage and other means. It can be said that after decades and more than half a century of operation, the top ten aristocratic families here are relatives!
It can be said that no matter who of them gets this dagger, the whole thief world will not have much impact. Just think, if a thief family outside the top ten becomes the first family of thieves, he will inevitably suppress the other nine families and establish his own partnership. It can be said that once the top ten alliances are broken by other families, Then the alliance composed of ten families will be destroyed. Everyone knows that if you don't destroy them, you have to be destroyed by them.
At the thought of this, the heads of the other nine aristocratic families looked at the white haired old man one after another, nodded one after another, and expressed their support for the old man's opinion. In any case, this dagger can only stay in the top ten aristocratic families. It's really impossible. Even if you use force, you don't hesitate.
Of course, they will never use force if they don't have to. First, they don't want to break the rules. In business, the most important thing is integrity, especially thieves. You can steal and rob, but you can't do that when you do business. Otherwise, who dares to buy things from you?
Moreover, with Soga's current identity and status, you don't rob when you say you rob. Even if you rob, things can't be used. Once people know it, they will inevitably be killed. Otherwise, Soga would not be the owner of this dagger for a long time.
Seeing that everyone agreed, the white haired old man turned to Soga and said seriously, ”after we went back this time, we studied each other several times and understood that we must gather together the set of materials before you are willing to exchange, but...”
Speaking of this, the old man paused slightly and seemed to be hesitating, but finally he said categorically: ”but you should know that the set of materials is really too expensive to collect, it will cost a lot of money, and it is difficult to get together within six months. Even if we get together, to be honest, we won't exchange with you, because we can't give up.”
After listening to the old man's words, Soga scratched his head in embarrassment. He understood the old man's meaning. This set of materials can be met but not required. Even if it can be collected with money, it will have to be astronomical, and... Who is willing to exchange so many rare materials for a dagger? There are many materials that can forge 40 sets of armor.
While thinking, the old man continued: ”so the owners of our top ten aristocratic families held several small meetings together. We all agreed to study. We didn't spend a penny to buy from the outside world. We just divided the materials on the list into ten parts. If we can't solve one part, we are not qualified to participate in the fair. Otherwise, the other nine families will join hands to impose sanctions on them!
Speaking of this, the white haired old man looked at Soga with envy and said, ”you're lucky, too. Our ten families together have just gathered all the materials on this list, and none of them are missing. However, we have accumulated materials for thousands of years, which are basically consumed. Although there are many ordinary materials and stocks, we have all taken out the precious ones“
”What!” Hearing the words of the white haired old man, Soga stood up in horror and looked at the white haired old man incredulously. As the old man said, the materials on the list were the main body of the exchange. Soga also knew that it was absolutely impossible to complete the exchange with one family. According to the original expectation of Soga, 40 pieces could be collected, even if they were qualified, but unexpectedly, the top ten families joined hands, I have collected all the materials, not a few!
Looking at the excited expression, the white haired old man smiled and said: ”however, although each of us has paid some materials, the pressure is not too great because we have shared them equally with ten. For each of us, it is cost-effective to trade this dagger with these materials, but...”
After a slight pause, the white haired old man said flatly: ”Lord Soga should understand that this dagger is not worth so much, so... In addition to this material, we only intend to produce one magic item. You can exchange it with which one you like. I don't know what Lord Soga thinks?”
In the face of the white haired old man's inquiry, Soga outstretched his thumb and looked at the white haired old man with admiration. This old man is so powerful that he is worthy of being the most prestigious one among the top ten aristocratic family leaders. When doing things, people can't pick out a mistake.
First of all, people have gathered the materials on the list. With this alone, Soga can't refuse this exchange, or even need other collocations. It can be exchanged only between the materials and the dagger.
Secondly, the old guy avoided everyone's loss. You know, if the top ten aristocratic families go out to collect materials by themselves, how much will it cost? You know, there are sixty or seventy kinds of materials on the list, each of which is expensive and rare. Each kind of material costs a lot of money, but the old man's idea makes everyone only need to pay the part of the materials they own. There is no need to pay extra, but they can have the same opportunity to compete.
Finally, the old man avoided free competition. You know, the ownership of the dagger determines the ownership of the throne of the first aristocratic family in the next ten years. In order to get this dagger, it is worth paying any price. If it is free competition, the price will be out of proportion. Maybe you can exchange it with half the wealth of the aristocratic family.
But now, each aristocratic family only needs to pay a small part of materials to obtain the qualification of trading, and then take out a magic item. It's relaxed and pleasant. It will never affect the strength of each rogue aristocratic family. They just take out a little of their things, which is insignificant.
Although Suoga knows that he will earn a lot less by doing so, Suoga knows better than this. The information on the list can't be collected in any case. The top ten aristocratic families can barely collect all the materials together. How can one family collect all the materials? As the white haired old man said, even if you collect them, no one will be willing to exchange them. It's not a little bit to improve the strength of the family to build dozens of armor weapons by yourself. It's no worse than getting this dagger.
Moreover, since each of the top ten aristocratic families is allowed to produce only one baby for competition, the quality, function and effect of this baby must be excellent. Imagine a thief aristocratic family that has lasted for thousands of years. Who hasn't ordered the baby left by their ancestors? It's related to the ownership of the first aristocratic family of thieves. No one dares to be stingy, and no one dares not to pay with all his strength!
Nodding in admiration, Soga smiled and said: ”the old man's ability to handle affairs, the boy is convinced and amazing. The boy can't refuse such transaction terms. The old man can't touch the boy's mind clearly. He can't refuse.”
”Ha ha...” hearing Soga's words, the leaders of the top ten rogue aristocratic families laughed at the same time. They built the basis of this transaction on the basis of cooperation, and each family consumed very little. Now what they have to do is to get this dagger. In that case, it is equivalent to a disguised combination of the power and strength of the top ten aristocratic families.
After a while, the white haired old man continued, ”well, we have brought those materials. There are many of them. Now let's take them out and let Lord Soga have a look.”
Hearing the words of the white haired old man, all the owners opened their space rings one after another. Suddenly... Wooden boxes one by one meter square appeared in the small reception room. There were ten wooden boxes in total, containing all the materials needed by Soga.
”Hei hei...” seeing this scene, Suoga couldn't help laughing, walked forward gently, opened the boxes one by one and collected them. Sure enough, as the white haired old man said, all the materials are here, including minerals, fur and wood.
Gently closed the lid of the box, Soga stood up and said with a smile, ”all right, everyone, let's go to the conference room to continue the transaction. I'll let someone come in and collect the goods.” While talking, Soga threw the dagger to the white haired old man. With the dagger as collateral, we don't have to be afraid of what Soga does.
Soon, under the leadership of the white haired old man, the ten masters went out of the small meeting room and walked towards the conference room on the top floor. Behind them, Soga waved his big hand and put all the materials of the ten boxes into the space ring. He had thought it over. As soon as the transaction was over, he would go to the dwarf blacksmith. He promised himself that if he collected the materials, He helped Soga forge armor for free.
The owners of the top ten aristocratic families are restlessly wandering in the big reception room. On the main seat of the conference room, Soga is looking at the desktop in front of him with his eyes shining. On the bright and clean desktop, ten brocade boxes are arranged in a row. What Soga sees is the treasure contained in the ten brocade boxes.
What is contained in these ten brocade boxes is the magic items produced by the ten masters. Since each person can only produce one, there is no doubt that each item here is definitely the existence of the legendary superior. This manual is attached to each box to clearly introduce the characteristics, effects and benefits of the magic item. I'm afraid suga doesn't have enough knowledge, I don't know, baby.
