The Chosen Game

Chapter 91 The Price of the Rare Treasure

Not long after entering Yanlin City, Xin You met Mrs. Kesumari's husband, Baron Stadori.

Baron Stadori is a young man with a thin body and a slightly pale complexion. Judging from his age, he should only be around 30 years old, but he looks a little decadent.

After discussing with her husband for a while, Mrs. Kesumari paid the mercenaries 20 times as promised.

The mercenaries cheered, and soon after, they left under the leadership of the mercenary leader Leo. They planned to go to the temple in Yanlin City and dedicate the body of the curse wizard to the temple. It is an extremely generous reward.

Xin You didn't follow those mercenaries, he was going to walk around Yanlin City alone, and then think about how to use his marked quota.

However, before he could go far, behind him, the little girl Staffan stopped him: "Uncle Xin You, don't leave yet, okay?"

Xin You turned around and looked at the little girl with some doubts.

Baron Statori bowed slightly, saluted Xin You with a standard aristocratic salute, and solemnly said to Xin You: "Your Excellency Xin You, thank you for saving my wife and my daughter, to express my gratitude to you , I will set up a banquet at home, and I ask you to honor it."

Xin You frowned slightly, subconsciously wanting to reject Stadorui's invitation, but when his gaze met the little girl's expectant gaze, he hesitated again.

"Thank you Baron, it's my honor." Xin You nodded, agreeing.

Although Yanlin City is only a small city, its area is not small, and its population exceeds [-].

The center of the city is the temple, and the surrounding area is the market, entertainment area, and residential area. The residential area is divided into civilian residential area and noble residential area.

The civilian residential area is full of people, it looks very crowded, very noisy, and the environment is a bit bad. There are all kinds of domestic garbage everywhere on the ground. In contrast, the environment in the noble residential area is much better. Not only is the road clean and tidy, there are even a lot of green plants, and soldiers are patrolling around at all times.

Baron Stadori's residence is located at the edge of the noble residence area, and it is a small courtyard that looks a bit in disrepair.

The size of the yard is not large, and there are not many servants in it. After ordering the servants in the yard to prepare the banquet, Baron Stadori's family of three chatted with Xin You in the fairly spacious living room.

"Your Excellency Xin You, I'm just a little nobleman from the countryside. I don't have much background in Yanlin City. Please forgive me for my poor hospitality." Baron Stadori smiled apologetically.

Perhaps it was because he learned about Xin You's strength from Mrs. Kesumari, therefore, Baron Stadori did not show any aristocratic airs in front of Xin You, and seemed humble, kind and polite, which also made Xin You feel very good about him. The baron's impression is not bad, at least there are no bad impressions.

"This kind of hospitality is already very good." Xin You said quickly.

This was the first time in his life that he went to a banquet. Although he appeared very calm, he felt somewhat cramped in his heart.

Several people chatted for almost an hour.

During the chat, Xin You also had a general understanding of the Statori family.

The title of Baron Statori was inherited from his long-deceased father, and he inherited the farm that his father left behind.

It's just that, if he doesn't accomplish anything in this life, his title will be revoked by his next generation, and he will be downgraded from aristocrat to commoner. As a commoner, he cannot control a farm. The farm handed down by his family will be Will be annexed by other nobles, they will have nothing.

In order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, Baron Stadori brought some servants and came to Yanlin City to develop.

However, although Yanlin City is only a small city, there are quite a few nobles gathered in the city. Baron Stadori is considered a distinguished lord in the countryside, but in Yanlin City, his status as a baron is not enough read.

Baron Stadori has been 'active' in Yanlin City for a few years, and almost used up all the savings in the farm. Even the armed guards in the farm were forced to disband most of the remaining armed guards. The number of people is only enough to barely maintain the 'law and order' in the farm.

Because of this, when Mrs. Kesumari brought her daughter to Yanlin City, she had to hire the Hammer Mercenary Corps to serve as their temporary escort.

As for the rare treasure, it was obtained by chance during the extremely prosperous period of the Star family. Later, this rare treasure has been secretly collected by the Star family and has been passed down to the present.

In this generation, Baron Stadori finally made up his mind for the noble status of the family and for the continuation of the family farm. He asked his wife to return to the farm, secretly took out the rare treasure, and mixed it with other people in the carriage. Inside the cargo, it was shipped to Yanlin City.

The strange treasure is extremely precious in this different world, even if it is described as priceless, it is not an exaggeration.

Baron Stadori is going to auction off this rare treasure in Yanlin City's auction house. As long as the money from the auction is donated to the temple, it will be enough to raise his title by a level or two. Then, the problems encountered by Baron Stadori's family were easily solved.

Hence, Xin You's heavenly mission...

Xin You suddenly interrupted Baron Stadori's eloquent narration: "Your Excellency Baron, you mean that you are going to sell that rare treasure?"

Baron Stadori was stunned, then smiled bitterly, and said: "This is a treasure passed down by the family. I don't want to sell it unless it is absolutely necessary, but... for my family to continue to pass on, I Had to sell it."

Madam Kesumari also smiled wryly: "The matter of the rare treasure has been leaked. We are only small nobles, and we can't keep this rare treasure at all. Instead of letting it be snatched by those big nobles, it is better to sell it as soon as possible."

Xin You nodded, a fire suddenly ignited in his heart.

Regarding the rare treasure in the hands of Baron Stadori, to be honest, he was very moved.

At the beginning, he thought this strange treasure was 'not for sale', so he gave up his thoughts on this strange treasure.

But now, according to Baron Stadori's family, they are planning to sell this rare treasure at a high price.

And this also gave Xin You another idea about this strange treasure!
He tentatively asked: "I don't know how much you plan to sell that rare treasure, Your Excellency the Baron?"

Baron Stadori pondered for a few seconds, then stretched out 4 fingers to Xin You: "At least 4000 gold coins."

　Thanks to Nan Shengshui and passer-by Du for the reward.
