Chapter 113 p2
……
At noon, Saint Chrissy and the assassin girl sent information back to the Temple, saying that everything was going smoothly except for the assassination of Kailun.
To make the information more substantial and credible, they also informed the Temple that Kailson had betrayed them with his whole family.
At one o’clock in the afternoon, after a ten-minute long kiss with Kailun, Chrissy left the royal city with the assassin girl.
Next time they met, she would still be the radiant Saint.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Dean Edlin of the Royal Magic Academy came to find Kailun. She took five Golden Agreements and ten thousand Silver Moon Knights from Kailun.
To protect Dean Edlin’s safety, Kailun assigned her two seventh-rank deputy commanders.
In order to complete Kailun’s task as soon as possible and get her commission, Edlin left the royal city with her troops without delay.
Edlin was full of confidence for this trip, as long as she could buy magic crystals worth 4.5 million gold coins, she would make a profit of five hundred thousand.
To express her sincerity, she even offered to bear the expenses of the Silver Moon Knights.
For Edlin’s reasonable request, Kailun naturally chose to satisfy her.
Because of her understanding, Kailun would appropriately lower her interest later.
With the departure of everyone, the royal city seemed to have really calmed down.
……
In Duke Pit’s territory in the Rose Kingdom, Philip and Laurist had been received in the drawing-room.
“Hello, Duke Pit, my name is Philip, I’m the shopkeeper of the Magic Shop, I’ll be in charge of this transaction. This gentleman next to me is Viscount Laurist, his identity is not ordinary, it’s all thanks to him that we got this batch of goods.”
Philip had a professional smile on his face as he faced Duke Pit, who was sitting in the main seat.
“Oh? Is this Earl Laurist? It’s rumored that Earl Laurist’s daughter is likely to become the new king’s consort, I wonder how beautiful your daughter is.”
Duke Pit’s gaze fell on Earl Laurist, who was sitting next to Philip. When he heard the information about Earl Laurist’s daughter, his strange hobby started to stir again.
But his excitement only lasted for a short while before he calmed down, because he had a new target, the Rose Queen.
In order to gain the Rose Queen’s favor, he had been holding back for several years. Even if he couldn’t help it, he would only do it secretly and never look for married women from prominent families.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the Rose Queen, he didn’t want to let his efforts go to waste, so even though he knew there were excellent married women in the neighboring kingdom, he didn’t dare to make a move.
According to the information he received, the new king of the Kingdom of Xiya liked Winnie very much, she was very likely to become the queen.
It was thanks to Kailun’s favor that this Laurist in front of him was able to be promoted from viscount to earl and control a mine with abundant reserves.
He felt that Laurist had gained his current power by selling his daughter.
However, this had nothing to do with him, what he cared about was that the price Laurist offered was very tempting, almost 5% lower than the market price in the Rose Kingdom.
Don’t underestimate this 5%, if he bought one million gold coins worth of magic crystals, he could save fifty thousand gold coins.
And seeing Earl Laurist’s cowardly look, it seemed that he could continue to lower the price. In his procurement plan, magic crystals were the most important part.
Earl Laurist replied awkwardly: “You flatter me, Duke Pit, my daughter is just slightly beautiful, all this is thanks to the new king’s favor.”
Perhaps because he had seen a terrifying devil like Kailun, even a powerful figure like Duke Pit couldn’t make him feel fear anymore.
After sensing the other party’s gaze, he cursed Duke Pit in his heart, even this trash Duke Pit dared to think about his daughter?
He was courting death, his daughter was only worthy of an invincible devil like Kailun!
Inexplicably, Earl Laurist seemed to have found something he could be proud of, so his aura rose a bit.
However, thinking of Shopkeeper Philip’s request, he shrank his neck and pretended to be cowardly, everything was centered around Kailun’s plan.
“Don’t be modest, I know that Earl Laurist is a very capable person, I believe in your ability. But let’s talk about the transaction first, how many magic crystals did you bring to the Rose Kingdom this time, and what’s the price?”
Duke Pit waved his hand, he focused his attention on the transaction.
“A total of fifteen million ordinary magic crystals, one gold coin for one hundred crystals, I think this is the lowest price you can get, Duke Pit.” Philip said with a smile.
“Yes, only we can offer such a price, we just want to sell them quickly and get our funds back… ah!”
Earl Laurist echoed, but he screamed halfway through his sentence because Philip stepped on his foot.
Philip laughed awkwardly: “Sorry, Duke Pit, Earl Laurist has a problem with his foot, his brain isn’t working well.”
Earl Laurist acted as if he had realized it afterwards, he quickly covered his mouth and kept silent.
Seeing this, Duke Pit smiled even more happily: “Hey, it’s not a big deal, everyone has times when they’re short on funds. How about this, I’ll do you a favor, I’ll take this batch of magic crystals all by myself, but the price might be a little lower, how about one gold coin for one hundred and one magic crystals?”
Earl Laurist hugged his foot and said, “Isn’t that a bit too low?”
“Don’t fool yourself, Earl Laurist, you should know very well where these magic crystals of yours came from. Now the Rose Kingdom and the Kingdom of Xiya are still at war on the surface, your actions could be considered aiding the enemy. If this matter gets back to the Kingdom of Xiya, even if Kailun doesn’t want to touch you, the overwhelming public resentment will force him to get rid of you. Why don’t we sign a contract, I’ll pay, you’ll supply, if you can’t stay in the Kingdom of Xiya anymore, come to my territory, I, Pit, will guarantee your safety!”
Pit’s words were almost a direct threat, he thought he had grasped Earl Laurist’s lifeline.
He had people collect a lot of information, and based on this information, he made the judgment to threaten Earl Laurist.
“This… this isn’t very good…” Earl Laurist’s hesitant look was very consistent with his cowardly personality.
“What’s wrong with this? Do you look down on me?” Duke Pit snorted angrily: “If you look down on me, I’ll keep you here, none of you can leave today.”
As he spoke, a team of knights rushed in and blocked the door.
“Duke Pit, don’t be angry, it’s not that Earl Laurist doesn’t want to sell you magic crystals, it’s just that the new mine has just started production and the output is very slow, he’s afraid of delaying your use.”
Philip quickly stood up, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead as he explained to him.
“Mine at the fastest speed, I’ll take as much as you have, as for the price, let’s talk about it again. To ensure our cooperation, we can sign a contract with each other, you must guarantee that all your output will be supplied to me first, otherwise…”
Duke Pit looked at Laurist with malicious intent.
Laurist also stood up: “We’ll sign, we’ll sign, I guarantee that I’ll supply you first.”
“Haha, that’s right, what are you all standing there for? Sit down, let’s talk about our cooperation.” Duke Pit quickly changed his face.
Laurist and Philip looked at each other, both seeing the joy in each other’s eyes.
There was no mine at all, it was just a deliberately fabricated rumor.
The only magic crystals Kailun gave them were this batch in their hands. Doing this was just to dangle a low price in front of Duke Pit and make him lose the time to acquire other magic crystals.
By the time Duke Pit realized it, the price of magic crystals would have skyrocketed.
However, this wasn’t the most desperate part, the most desperate part was that he would have to buy from Kailun at an exorbitant price.
After all, Kailun controlled the important trade route of the Kingdom of Malaga. When Duke Pit was in urgent need, it would be too late to acquire them from other places.
The three of them continued to talk, and under Duke Pit’s threat, Laurist signed a very unfair contract.
If he couldn’t deliver the produced magic crystals to Duke Pit at the lowest price immediately, he would die.
It was a very harsh clause, but Laurist was very calm when he signed it.
He had never owned a mine, this contract had no binding effect on him at all.
“Haha, Earl Laurist is really straightforward, why don’t you stay here tonight and rest? I’ve recently acquired some married women, do you want to try them?”
Duke Pit, who was in a good mood, invited them to have some fun together.
Laurist: “Duke Pit, you don’t know, our mine is in urgent need of funds to continue mining, because of the new king’s order, the miners’ wages are very high now, we are really short of money.”
Hearing this, Pit sneered: “To be honest, your new king is just rich and has nothing better to do. I think he should only pay one-fifth of the wages to keep the miners from starving to death. Giving them jobs and letting them eat their fill is already a blessing for them.”
Laurist: “…”
He didn’t understand whether it was a blessing or not, but he knew that Kailun was sucking Duke Pit’s blood, so the money paid to the miners also included Duke Pit’s share.
Before setting off, Kailun had sent a magic letter saying that he would deliver Duke Pit to Anna and let her kill him personally.
The so-called Duke Pit was just a lamb that Kailun had already booked.
