The Hero Who Troubles the Heroes

On the second day of the auction, the expected increase in the number of people who came to sell the crystal to Charles did not materialize. In addition to Charles's side, the same is true of other trusts.

At noon, Lorenzo, who received the news, reported the situation to Ruth. As a supplier of crystals, she has enough say in this operation.

Just after Lorenzo finished reporting, someone else came to report that a large number of non-local businessmen were buying crystals of various grades at high prices.

"Let our guys give them some of the stock," Ruth said after thinking about it, "and we're starting to sell ten-day futures contracts."

Lorenzo hesitated for a moment, and he asked cautiously: "The goods in ten days..."

Ruth raised her slender hand to stop his question and said, "In seven to eight days, our large fleet will arrive here, and then we will have countless crystals."

Lorenzo sighed. He has always felt frightened recently. At present, this form is already cooking oil with fire, and if he is not careful, he will burn himself with fire.

At this time, someone came to call.

"The adults think it's time to start the next phase."

(??_??)づ?[]?(???)

Not many people started drinking at noon, and there was only one table of guests drinking wine in the hotel on the first floor of the hotel.

Wayne noticed that a businessman friend he had known recently was a little unhappy, and he asked, "Lex, what's so unhappy?"

Lex took a sip of ale and said with a sigh, "I heard news from people passing by my hometown just now that my wife gave birth to a baby at the beginning of the month."

Wayne counted the days in his heart. Lex was pregnant when he went home for the New Year at the beginning of the year. It should not be a green cup.

"Then you should go back earlier now," he said to Lex.

Lex looked at the wine glass with a bit of reluctance, and Wayne quickly understood what he meant, he was reluctant to give up the money he had.

Wayne said to him: "You clear your goods to me. For the sake of everyone's acquaintance these days, I will give you a higher price than today."

Now that the new year is getting closer and closer, in a world without motor cars and planes, going home is a very time-consuming thing.

In the past few days, there are many people like Lex who are struggling whether to quit and go home when they see a good situation, or to stay and make a little more money.

Lex gave himself a sip of wine, thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed to Wayne's deal.

And Wayne and the others bought a lot of crystals from businessmen like Lex who were going home in the past two days.

After completing the delivery of the crystal, Lex whispered to Wayne: "Dude, be careful with the dealer. Several nobles in the southeastern part of the kingdom have been not dealing with the king. This time someone saw their butler in It's been in town. You know..."

Wayne nodded solemnly and thanked Lex for the news.

After drinking a few sips of wine, Lex went to prepare for the purchase of ceramics and then went home. Wayne sat at the table while drinking and thinking about things.

The Lerick Kingdom where he is located does not have a good relationship with its western neighbor, the Biberach Kingdom, so he is very concerned about the situation on Biberach's side. The nobles in the southeastern part of the Biberach Kingdom are more united and often fight against the king collectively. Now that such a thing has happened in the largest commercial city in the southeast, it is difficult to say that there is no back of these nobles.

After lunch, Wayne took the crystals he had obtained in the past two days to find Charles for cash.

When he came to the mansion where Charles lived, he promised that Tony and Keith had already arrived. At this time, several people were drinking tea and chatting in the gazebo in the garden.

Now the characters of their "foreign merchants" are "to curry favor with Earl McGarden, the richest man in the North", so they often take the opportunity to meet here and exchange information by chatting.

Wayne took the honey tea from Mordred, and at this moment he felt peace from the bottom of his heart. I don't know why, but every time he came to Charles, he always felt that way. For someone who sleeps with one eye open every night, he does not reject this feeling, and even likes it a little.

Seeing another guy coming to ask for money, Charles, who found that the money was not enough, sent Aunt Arto to the house to get the money.

Wayne suddenly felt a shock in his heart, as if something had been taken away. He looked at the back of Aunt Aalto who was leaving, surprised.

Charles, Mordred, Tonio, and Keith drank tea to hide the odd expressions on their faces.

Charles found that he couldn't hold it any longer. He put down the teacup and whispered to Wayne, "Actually, she's a good person. I'll see if Mordred kicked the quilt at night."

No one else knows if Mordred kicked the quilt when he slept, but the three of them who came to ask for money knew that now Mordred kicked Charles under the table.

Aunt Aalto returned shortly after, and she whispered a few words in Charles' ear.

After listening, Charles nodded~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then picked out all the parchment scrolls from the goods Wayne and the others brought them and threw them back to them. "From now on, I only have futures contracts notarized by Mason City Hall," he said.

The faces of the three of them changed suddenly, and then the three of them left immediately, in order to clear the futures contracts in their hands before the news spread.

The next few days saw some turbulence in the crystal investment market in Mason City.

For reasons such as eligibility guarantees, the city hall stipulates that only futures contracts issued by persons at the earl/marquis level can be notarized.

And those futures contracts issued by local commercial banks and workshops have been forced to be honored by the merchants.

In the past few days, several big nobles around Mason City, including the lord of Mason City, received a large amount of cash by relying on futures contracts made of parchment.

Charles, who was driven back to the room again, leaned behind the door, and with his hearing enhanced, he heard the sound of people in the room outside the door carrying heavy objects into the house.

For the past few days, every day, people carry boxes of gold coins to this mansion for storage. Every time Charles and the others will be driven into the room.

Cassandra and Tonio have not come these days. Charles, who has no reliable sources, can only know the situation in the city through the descriptions of those other businessmen.

After the market has cultivated for so many days, and the price of crystal has grown to a sky-high price, the big nobles behind them have begun to take action. They rely on futures contracts notarized by Mason City Hall to harvest those who participate in crystal investment in the city. Gold coins in businessman hands.

Those businessmen spread the news to each other that "the elves on the big river recently found fugitives and blocked the water surface, and there is no ship to come to Mason City in the short term". parchment.
