Broad World

　　&Nbsp;   Just after noon, the streets of the Ascatla shopping area were bustling. As the seventh largest city on the mainland of Faerun, the variety of goods here is beyond imagination. Vegetables, fruits, jewelry, art, and even people. Of course, there is also a lot of gold. As long as you have enough money, you can buy it. All things related to magic, and even rare specialties brought back from the far west continent of Maztec. In terms of the size of the market, it is at least twice as large as Deep Water City.     Looking at the golden spire temple as big as a small town, Henry couldn't help but sigh that Woking, the goddess of business, was really unlucky. There were such a glorious sanctuary, but there were not enough priests and believers. Since she was imprisoned by Grazt, her influence has been declining every day, and the huge temple has not even got ten priests.     After all, Falun mainland is still very primitive and rude in nature. The Woking Church without sufficient force to protect it is like an unlocked ATM, and only the devastating evil **** believers Lack of money, the first thing that comes to mind is looting the temple of the business goddess, because there are usually a lot of gold and jewelry inside.     However, Henry did not come to the mall this time to cooperate with the commercial church, but intends to go to the Adventurer's Market, where he will post news and hire a group of experienced adventurers. He didn't ask these people to do any harm to Erenikas, as long as he could speed up the search.     After all, this is not a game. The elven city built on the tree canopy must be quite complicated, and it must have sufficient manpower to find the necessary things in it.     Just crossed the gate. There was a lot of noisy voices inside, and one of them sounded particularly harsh, as if he was bargaining fiercely with the boss.     "Liebold! You are such a profiteer! Look at these armors. Each of them is at least 80% new, and you only paid less than one-fifth of the price, which is simply stingy. "&Nbsp;   "Wow! You call the things that this hobgoblin wears as good as new? Look at the rust and stains here. I bet it won’t be cleaned up properly. Someone buys it. Don't even try to raise the price, I won't be able to get one more copper plate."    Obviously, the guy who is talking is the boss of the Adventurer's Market, the legendary adventurer-Liebold. It is said that he did a lot of earth-shattering things when he was young. And those magic items are the spoils and rewards obtained in this process.     This person is quite famous among the adventurers in Amn, and many nobles and businessmen will come to ask for advice if they encounter problems. Hoping to find a solution, he has never let anyone down, and can always find the neglected things from clues.     In addition, there are also many adventurers who come from other places every year. The purpose is to see the protagonist in the story of the bard.     "Well...well...don't get excited, just follow the price you said. But you can't keep the price too low for these gems, otherwise we won't sell them." The sellers are still reluctant, trying to find the price difference on other goods.     Henry recognized the strangely dressed dwarf at a glance. It was Yao En, the self-proclaimed inventor. He was now lying on the counter and waving his fists to bargain, and there was Long Nvxi standing behind him. Na and the paladin girl Cyrelev. From the appearance of a few of them, they are definitely just coming back from outside the city.     Maybe it is to take some missions to wipe out monsters or bandits, or it may be to help the surrounding villages and towns to wipe out threats. In short, it shouldn't be a difficult battle, because the three guys basically didn't get any harm from top to bottom, except that they were a little tired. Everything else is fine.     Yao En, who is focusing on raising prices, obviously did not notice that acquaintances have come, and boasted about the color and size of the gemstones, as if he was not selling something that was snatched from the monsters. The ordinary rough stone, but the masterpiece after cutting.     Boss Liberty rubbed his forehead with a helpless look. It is estimated that this dwarf has the heart of trying to strangle him. After doing business for so many years, he has almost met all kinds of adventurers. Among them, there are a lot of caress, but it is the first time that it is so long-winded.     Be aware that the combined price of these things is less than one hundred gold coins. And this **** dwarf froze and raised the price for half an hour. Whenever that mouth opened, he had the urge to rush over and smash the opponent's face.     Just as Liebold’s collapse was imminent, Henry laughed and beckoned and shouted: "Hey! Look who this is, the great vegetable vendor and dwarf inventor-Yao En !"&Nbsp;   "Who? Who is looking for me?" Yao En immediately turned his head and looked around, and soon he found the target. "Oh my God! You can be regarded as coming back. You must know that the income of this period has really plummeted, and I am about to go bankrupt."    He jumped up and gave Henry a warm hug. Then, while pretending to be crying, quietly pointed at Cyrelev, who hadn’t recovered yet, and lowered her voice and complained: “That girl always returns the rewards paid by others. I’m going to be tortured crazy."    "Look at the beginning, paladins are almost like this, not to mention that Serilev was born in Paradise Mountain since he was a child and has no idea about money. Maybe you She should be asked to leave temporarily when she is paid, and it will be much better." Henry patted the dwarf on the shoulder as a relief.     Generally speaking, as long as the paladin is not poor and cannot afford to eat, there is an 80% chance that the paladin will refuse to receive payment after completing the task of fighting evil. It is said that this can make them more pure and prevent them from being disturbed by things like gold coins that are easy to cause depravity.     Of course, this situation is not absolute. In general, the richer the paladin is, the more likely it is to refuse to receive payment, and the poor paladin will make a decision based on the economic strength of the employer. If it is a wealthy merchant or nobleman, they will more or less receive a portion of it. , If it is a civilian, then it may not take any money.     Obviously, Yao En and the three have neither sufficient reputation nor introduction. Therefore, the hired person can never be too rich, so Serile Fu did not hesitate to return most of the rewards, which caused serious dissatisfaction with the greedy dwarf.     "Okay. I'm unlucky." Yao En said bitterly.     Seeing the gloomy expression of the dwarf, Henry laughed: "Haha, okay, be happy, because there will be big business to do soon, I promise that as long as I can survive, I promise to be ruthless Make a fortune."    When I heard of big business. Yao En's eyes lit up instantly: "Really?!"    "Of course! I'm here to release a commission and hire experienced adventurers." Henry turned and asked Boss Liberd: "I think you should have an intermediary business here?"    "Yes. Wizards, warriors, priests, thieves, bards, druids, rangers. As long as they are You speak, I can contact a large number of good players at any time. But the price..." Liberty showed a smile on his face. What he meant was obvious, to draw a lot of intermediary fees from it.     Henry shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "No problem. Come on, how much do you want to smoke?"    "10% of the fighters. 20% of the mages 5. Twenty percent for priests, 17 percent for bards and thieves, and 15 percent for the rest. In addition, you must also pay for food during the employment period, at least five silver coins a day . Our charging standard is very simple. According to different occupations, each level has a fixed price. Here is a detailed list. You can take it and see first." After finishing LiBod took out a thick book from under the counter. The roster is on the table.     Yao En yelled immediately after just a glance: "My God! This is a *naked robbery. No, it's more than a robbery."     Liberd laughed and nodded: "Yes, my friend. Hiring skilled mercenaries and adventurers is very expensive. Because the people we introduce are absolutely reliable, there will be no looting of employers like outside. "&Nbsp;   For this kind of promise, Henry just smiled and shook his head, neither refuted nor affirmed. He knows very well that there must be a degree in this. Once the value of the employer’s property exceeds the sum of commissions and credits, those sweet-blooded guys never mind getting a vote. Then go far away.     But in general, as long as you don’t be too ostentatious, then there will be no surprises, at least hundreds of times stronger than those in the tavern. What's more, this time I hired manpower to fight, each of the monsters is a difficult character. It is not bad to be able to come back a fifth alive, and all the rest must be accounted for on the battlefield.     Thinking of this, he closed the roster and asked: "How much does it cost to hire all professionals above level five? I need an accurate number."    "Gods Up! You are crazy!" Yao En jumped up in surprise.     Be aware that there are at least forty people on this list who meet this requirement. Based on the calculation that a fifth-level fighter needs 20 gold coins a day, it is 800 gold coins a day, plus the caster profession The high price and intermediary fee of the company, the commission alone will cost about two thousand per day.     Henry shook his head solemnly: "No, I'm not crazy, this is a real need. I believe you have heard some rumors, two monster army is heading towards the elven city of Sodennis Pulling in, and my purpose is to stop them. Because of the danger of this operation, I am willing to pay all the remuneration at once. I believe you will be able to send the money to their family members. Right?"  ;   Liebold's eyes rounded and trembling all over and asked: "Are you trying to take everyone to die together?"    "Of course not! I moved It is estimated that the army will arrive in these two days, including the Knights of the Hot Heart and the Guild of Masked Mages. There will be thousands of troops by then, and coupled with the strength of the elves, it is absolutely impossible to die in vain." Henry is very patient. Explained. He knew very well that it was impossible for adventurers and mercenaries to accept mortal missions, because only alive can get everything, and if they die, there is nothing.     "It seems that you are fully prepared. Okay, I will try to contact the staff right away, but because the amount of this business is a bit large, you must first pay a deposit of 50,000 gold coins. "Libod directly said loudly.     "Here, the trade union's money order is 50,000 gold coins. You can exchange it at the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce in the city at any time. But I have a request, at most one day, tomorrow afternoon, I want Seeing that there are enough manpower appearing. Don’t find some ordinary guys to make up the count. I only want the elite.” After saying that Henry directly put twenty-five bills of exchange worth 2,000 gold coins on the table, and then took the other three. Long away.     When he left~www.ltnovel.com~ Yao En did not forget to take away the few gems and a small bag of gold coins on the table...     Looking at the fading back of everyone, Liberty clenched his fists excitedly: "It seems that some are busy today. I hope I can come tomorrow afternoon. Such a big business is rare..."     A few minutes later, a group of homing pigeons were released from the back door of the Adventurer’s Market. They galloped in different directions, and one of their paws was dyed a bright red symbolizing emergency. (To be continued)
