Indescribable cyberpunk

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Zhu Jue and Lisanna crossed the lawn where the open-air reception was held and came to the main house inside the manor.

Compared to the hotel of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, the villa in front of you is obviously one of the best residential buildings in the seaport city of Dilas, both in terms of its exquisite layout and Gothic spire architectural style.

Entering the marble-paved hall, Zhu Jue glanced at his own appearance reflected on the floor, put his hands behind his back, and looked around at the layout. Lisanna frowned, not knowing what she was thinking about. What.

After walking forward for a while, passing through a corridor, the sound of soldiers clashing suddenly sounded.

Subconsciously turning his head to look over, Zhu Jue saw several guards covered in bright silver armor and wiping their weapons. The vague aura emanating from their bodies proved that they were not ordinary guards.

The housekeeper walked forward as if he didn't see anything.

Zhu Jue and Lisanna looked at each other. The former raised his thumb and nodded at the people in the corridor without leaving any trace. Then he pulled back and stretched out his index finger to tap himself and lightly scratched his throat.

The meaning is self-evident.

The brown-black skin made it difficult to see Lisanna's current expression, but judging from her increasingly serious expression, it was obvious that she was aware of something.

No longer looking at the guards, the housekeeper stopped at the door of a room ahead and stood at the door waiting for the two of them to enter.

Zhu Jue just walked to the door and saw the box placed on the ground in the middle of the room.

Chests overflowing with gold coins!

Judging from the size of the box, there are at least thousands of gold coins in it, and the purchasing power of gold coins in Dreamland is quite high. In real world currency, it is about 1:1000, which means that the total value of these gold coins may reach Millions.

Is it much?

One million federal coins sounds not only not much, but even a little, but don’t forget, that’s because the products in the real world are completely different from the products in the fantasy world. The level of finishing of the latter is not high. It goes without saying that in this world, 1 gold coin is enough for an ordinary family to live comfortably for nearly half a year.

Of course, for Zhu Jue, who owns the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce, although the amount of money is huge, it is not exaggerated. The annual income of the entire Shuojin Chamber of Commerce will not be much less.

"What does it mean?"

Zhu Jue glanced at the gold coin box, turned to look at the butler and asked, but the latter just made a gesture of invitation and didn't reply.

Stepping into the room, Lisanna followed closely behind Zhu Jue. Before the two of them started to observe the situation in the room, footsteps could be heard from inside.

The Earl of Oatland, who was walking at the front, had already changed into a set of looser robes. Because it was a manor reception, it was considered private, and his status was the highest, so he could be more casual. Behind him were three people. Guard.

There were two men and one woman, each of whom was fully armed. Compared with what they had seen in the corridor before, the equipment on these three people was obviously a higher level. They were probably the personal bodyguards of the Count of Alterland.

"Are you the president of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce?"

For the president of an ordinary chamber of commerce, Oatland naturally does not need to be polite. He holds his head slightly and his arrogant eyes are undisguised.

"I have a deal to negotiate with you now."

"Yeah?"

Zhu Jue narrowed his eyes.

Lisanna from behind immediately noticed Zhu Jue's palm behind his back, with his right thumb pressing his index finger, making a slight clicking sound.

There was a draft blowing from outside the house, and Lisanna shuddered violently. Her eyes swept across the people opposite her, and she sensed a dangerous aura, not coming from the other side, but from the man in front of her.

"It is our honor to be able to do business with you. I'm very sorry. The president has just taken over the Chamber of Commerce and is not familiar with these affairs. If you have anything, you can just say it."

He took the initiative to step forward, crossed Zhu Jue and stood in front of the Earl of Oatland and his guards. After speaking, he held his breath, for fear that the people behind him would take action without saying a word.

She knew when she was at the door of the gentleman's house that Zhu Jue was really not a rule-abiding person. It was easy to kill an earl, but the consequences that followed were enough to make people's scalp numb. This world also has countries, hidden There are a lot of strong people who are still alive, but they still have to develop in the dreamland. If they do it here, it will do more harm than good!

"Oh, it turns out you are a newbie who doesn't know anything. Let me tell you straight. I heard someone said that you have the Searing Box in your hand, and I am very interested in it, so now you have two choices. , firstly, if you take the money away, my people will follow you back to get the things; secondly, if you refuse, then the money will not be yours, but my people will still follow you back to get the things. In fact, I I hope you make the second choice, because that way I can not only save money, but also take over a fairly well-run chamber of commerce."

While Zhu Jue and Lisanna were sizing up the Earl of Alterland, the latter was also sizing them up. He didn't expect that the two young people who controlled the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce were actually such two young people. He subconsciously regarded them as that kind of person. The person who inherited the legacy of his ancestors took a sip of the wine in his glass and continued,

"But under normal circumstances, I am happy to be a rule-abiding person, so I suggest you choose the first condition. Apart from the money, it can be regarded as a favor that I owe you."

From Alteran's standpoint, he believed that the conditions he proposed were undoubtedly quite generous, and he chose to trade on the premise that it was completely possible to rob him. He even offered a price for a favor. You must know that this was a favor from an earl, among which The value is no less than this box of gold coins.

However, Lisanna didn't listen to his conditions at all. In fact, after knowing that the Earl of Alterland was planning the Searing Box, she had already retreated slightly.

She had heard Zhu Jue talk about what happened at the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce on the way here. The Searing Box was their key prop to recruit Lobelin, not to mention that Zhu Jue now knew that there might be something about the Sealing Box. Poseidon's treasure, ask him to hand it over.

To put it bluntly, this is like lighting a lantern in a cesspit - looking for excrement!

Therefore, Lisanna did not speak again after the Count of Alterland finished speaking. She knew that this matter was not something she could decide. She turned back quietly, hoping to get some information from Zhu Jue's expression, but the latter At this moment, he stared at the ceiling above his head as if he was empty.

As expected, the room fell into an eerie silence.

The smile on Count Ortland's face, which had not received a response for a long time, gradually dissipated. As if he thought of something, he suddenly sneered and said, "It seems that you are not willing to accept the first choice."

"Can I ask a question?"

Zhu Jue withdrew his gaze, looked at Count Oatland, and asked to himself,

"I want to know where you got the news from. The Searing Box has been stored in our Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce for nearly a year, but recently people have been coming to ask for it. I don't remember that I have released any information to the outside world."

"A strange man, he claims to be a priest of a certain sect."

The Earl of Alterland simply didn't want to be too honest. He didn't think Zhu Jue could cause any trouble to him, and he didn't like that weird guy at all.

Keeping secrets for others?

That guy is not qualified!

"I can give you the Searing Box, but I have to see it opened and kept for so long. I just want to see what is inside. This is my only request. The favor you mentioned, I hope to use it in Here, otherwise I would just give away the treasure that the seniors have worked so hard to find, and I really can’t feel at ease.”

Zhu Jue lowered his eyes, placed his hands on his sides, clenched his fists, and spoke with reluctance.

It would be even better if I could shed two drops of "clear tears".

You want it so much.

After all, he must have mastered the method of opening the Searing Box.

Don't let me down

"No problem, just follow if you want to watch."

It was funny that his favor was used so easily. Alteran nodded directly and said it was no problem, but he also had his own conditions.

"But then you can only go there alone, forget about the lady, and I only allow you to watch from 20 meters away. I don't want you to open the box and suddenly think of fighting for your ancestors. Keep it up. A safe distance is good for you and me."

No one is a fool. When I open the box, I let you watch at close range?

What if this ring turns out to be some bullshit trick about claiming its owner by dripping blood? Do I still have to waste time cutting off your finger?

The Earl of Alterland does not think that he is a pervert who likes bloody acts.

"I have no problem with it, as long as I can see it, then when are you going to get it?"

Zhu Jue breathed a sigh of relief and then said,

"Because of certain characteristics of that treasure, you can ask the priest to confirm this. It cannot leave the sea, so I locked it in a reef on the seaside, so I think you may have to arrange a time. In addition, I left the key at the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, and I have to ask Lisanna to get it for me. If you are worried, you can take her with you."

As he said this, Zhu Jue's eyes locked on the small door at the back of the room early.

There is someone behind the door.

He had already sensed it.

That disgusting mental power was like an open herring can in a cake room. With his current perception, it couldn't be more obvious!
