Chapter 884

Chapter 884 – Chapter 874: Pre-Purchase

Dudian didn’t joke with Lothick. The next day, Lothick exchanged all the rare gems, gold coins, antiques and other valuables into royal gold notes, after emptying the inventory of all the money houses in the territory, there were still many agate jades, famous carvings and rare antiques. Lothick packed them and put them on the carriage to be towed to the king’s city.

Lothick naturally couldn’t bear to part with the wealth that he had accumulated over the years. However, he didn’t expect that Dudian would directly open up his small treasury. Moreover, he checked his account book and revealed all his secrets, if it wasn’t for the fact that there weren’t many money houses in his territory, Dudian would probably be able to mortgage his manor and sell it.

In a short day, Dudian and Lothick were sitting in the same carriage. One of them was frowning while the other had a calm expression. They were leisurely leaning against the window and enjoying the scenery along the way.

From time to time, dudian would talk to Aisha about the scenery outside. Aisha didn’t say much and was silent. This strange situation naturally attracted Rosik’s attention. However, he didn’t ask too much.

Dudian controlled the heat in his body to the level of a normal pioneer. If it was too low then he would follow Rosik and attract more attention, he would be Lothick’s personal guard.

“Are there many lords in the banquet?”

“Sir, there are about forty or fifty of them. But I don’t know how many of them will come.”

“Why are there so many lords in the banquet?”

“This is a banquet organized by the Rose Lord. It is said that there are important matters to discuss. I’m not sure. I’ll know when I get there.”

Dudian chatted with Rosik from time to time and asked about the situation in the king’s city. In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. They left in the morning and arrived at the king’s city at sunset. They stayed in the carriage for a whole day. They passed by four or five territories, rosik showed his identity and had lunch in one of the territories.

Dudian gradually understood that although these lords were competing for resources and territories of each other. They had been fighting for years but there was no lack of cooperation and trade among them. Many of them were allied with each other, they were fighting against other lords. Today they passed through five territories which were allied with Rosik. Rosik was a member of the Alliance but not the leader.

It would take two to three hours to go straight from Rosik’s territory to the king’s city. However they had wasted a lot of time bypassing the territories of the hostile lords.

Dudian didn’t understand the situation of the lords. He looked at the towering city wall in front of him. The height of the city wall was two or three hundred meters. It was more than half of the height of the wall of sighs, the wall of sighs was used to isolate the inner and outer areas. In his impression, it was the tallest city wall in addition to the giant wall. If it was an ordinary person.., it would be more shocking to look up.

Dudian looked at the fleet of carriages as they slowly entered the king’s city. There was a trace of solemnity in his heart.

“Sir, the banquet will be held tomorrow night at the Taylor Hotel. How about we rent a hotel nearby to rest tonight?”Rosik seemed to relax a lot after entering the king’s city. He wasn’t as tense as before. He smiled at Dudian.

Dudian looked at the yellow sky and pondered: “Let the Butler lead the team to find a good hotel. Take Me to the temple.”

He had asked Dudian that the temple wouldn’t close until 8:30 pm. It was still early.

Lothick didn’t expect Dudian to be so impatient. He smiled: “Master, isn’t this a bit too urgent? Should we go tomorrow?”

“Now.”Dudian said.

Lothick sighed in his heart as he saw that he couldn’t change Dudian’s mind: “Alright, I will talk to the Butler.”

After a moment, Lothick told the butler: “If you see them, tell them that I have something to do.”

The Butler replied.

Dudian knew that Rosik was referring to the other good lords. In fact, they were slightly better than Rosik. Rosik didn’t want to neglect them.

Rosik ordered the coachman to leave the convoy and go to the temple.

Dudian felt as if he had come to the royal city of Sylvia. The streets were clean and lively. There were many shops and a lot of tourists. However, the styles of the two cities were completely different, dudian didn’t see them in Sylvia. He often saw bards selling their skills. There were many audience members around him. There were also some abject musicians who were playing musical instruments, such a situation could be seen on every street. From time to time he would hear a melodious melody drifting into the car.

The architectural style of the roadside was different from that of Sylvia. The walls were gold in color and looked extremely luxurious. Sylvia was dark and dark red in color.

The two giant walls were similar but had different cultures.

Rosik suddenly said: “Master, the temple is here.”

Dudian turned his head and looked at the other side of the street. There were dozens of clean steps. Behind the steps was a golden wall of the temple. There were two beautiful angels outside the temple, the outline of the face was perfect. Dudian looked at it as a thought popped up in his mind. was this angel sculpture imitated by the Aragami?

Dudian saw Rosik get off the carriage. He took Aisha out of the carriage and sighed: “I didn’t expect the temple to be so close to the city gate.”

Rosik smiled: “There are several temples in the king’s city. This is the temple’s sub-temple. But if you want to inquire about information, you can do so here.”

Dudian nodded and went up the stairs with Rosik. There were two or three people coming up the other end of the stairs. They were wearing armor and had extraordinary temperament. It seemed that they were here to do business.

Rosik was used to this. He led Dudian to the front of the temple. He took the initiative to help Dudian Open the revolving door.

The inside of the temple was golden. It seemed that the entire temple was made of gold. Dudian glanced at it and sighed in his heart.

There were many people standing in the hall. It was similar to a bank. There were four or five counters and there was a queue outside.

Dudian was about to go over to the queue when Lothick stopped him: “Elder, let’s go to the VIP room and have a rest.”

Dudian raised his eyebrows. Although he looked down on Lothick but the latter was a lord. His status was much higher than ordinary people.

Rosik led Dudian and Aisha to a room next to the hall. There was a desk in the room. An old man in dark red robe was drinking coffee. He saw Rosik and Dudian come in, rosik put down the coffee and stood up: “This is the VIP room. Who Are You?”

Rosik raised his hand. There was a medal in his hand. The design on it was the same as the one on the flag in his manor.

The old man’s eyes lit up: “It’s Lord Lothick. I’ve heard a lot about you. Please sit down.”

Lothick immediately asked Dudian and Aisha to sit down. Dudian looked around. There was a trace of solemnity in his eyes. Everything here was too similar to the banks of the old era. He thought that the temple was extremely sacred, he didn’t expect that it was programmed like an office. Was it intentional or not? It was possible that the Monster Institute was behind the temple. The headquarters of the Monster Institute was in the Kingdom of God. If it was intentional then it meant that the things of the old era were not completely destroyed, but it was in the hands of a few big figures in the Kingdom of God!

Rosik saw that Dudian was deep in thought. He didn’t expect that the young man’s thoughts would fly to the distant kingdom of God just because of the environment. He coughed, he looked at the old man: “I want to pre-order ‘supplicant’.”

There was a trace of surprise in the eyes of the old man: “Supplicant is ranked first on the list of legendary monsters. It is worth a lot. Lord Rosik, are you really going to buy it?”

As a person who specialized in serving vips, the old priest naturally knew about the lords. Otherwise, he would not be able to tell Rosickle’s name just from his family badge, although he might not remember his appearance.., however, Rosickle’s name and his information had long been memorized in his heart. He did not expect that with Rosickle’s wealth, he would actually want to buy the supplicant. Could it be that he was prepared to make a desperate gamble?

Thinking of the few hostile Lords Rosickle faced, the elderly priest’s eyes flickered slightly as he looked at rosickle without batting an eyelid.

“I have that intention,”Rosickle said. “Can you buy them?”

The elderly priest nodded, “You can buy them, but you know the value of supplicants. I’ll say one more thing. Rather than buying supplicants, it’s better to buy other legendary magic marks. You can buy ten. Although supplicants have great potential, it’s impossible for them to fight against ten people of the same level, right? Moreover, if you want to buy supplicants, you have to take out your Lord’s land contract and the Lord’s contract.”

Lothick’s heart ached when he heard Dudian mention the Lord’s contract. He would have to pay half of the Lord’s contract and a lot of territory to buy the supplicant, the area of his territory wouldn’t change but his rights would be reduced by half. In the end he would be completely replaced by the temple.

Dudian quietly looked at Rosik. He knew the conditions to buy the supplicant. The so-called Lord’s contract was equivalent to letting the temple buy shares in Rosik’s territory. Moreover, the shares were equivalent to 49% , although Rosik still had the power of execution and management, the temple only needed to use some small means to easily take over Rosik’s territory.

Therefore, most small and medium-sized lords weren’t willing to buy supplicants to sign such an unequal treaty with the temple.

Only the big lords had a large territory and concentrated power so they could play with the temple.

The temple relied on selling magic marks to control the lifeblood of all the lords. It could be said that the temple was the uncrowned King!

“I’m willing.”Rosik was mentally prepared but he still felt a burst of weakness and pain after saying these three words. Dudian patted his butt and left. But the remaining trouble.., but he had to deal with it himself. Even if Dudian didn’t deal with him he wouldn’t have a good time in the future. However he had no choice but to accept it.

The old man looked at him but didn’t say anything: “Do you have the title deed?”

“This is a deposit of 100,000 gold coins. This is the title deed.”Rosik was prepared. 100,000 gold coins was a thick stack of gold notes. It was equivalent to the annual income of his territory, he still needed to pay 900,000 gold coins!

A supplicant was worth a whole million gold coins, which was almost enough to empty Lothick’s family fortune.

Seeing that Lothick was ready, the old priest didn’t say anything. He took out documents from the drawer and helped Lothick with the pre-purchase procedures. When the procedures were completed, a lot of documents were needed. During this time, the old priest called several groups of people, including the temple master of the temple, who personally came to witness and pressed his handprint.

Half an hour later the procedure was finally completed.

The old man smiled: “Lord, you can go back and wait for us. We will mail you the result in ten days.”

Rosik squeezed out a smile. He put away the documents and turned to dudian: “Let’s go.”

Dudian sat next to Rosik. He saw that the matter of buying the supplicant had been settled. He said: “Don’t forget about the polar ice insect.”He was more concerned about the polar ice insect than buying the supplicant.

Rosik had a guess in his heart. could the crystal desolate insect that he had met in the cave of the Amelia tribe be the polar ice insect?

Although the latter was a desolate insect but Rosik had said that the polar ice insect didn’t have other abilities but it had pure ice energy. The crystal desolate insect had frozen the flame, that method was beyond the concept of ice. His scientific knowledge was completely unable to solve it. In addition to its huge size, it was completely in line with the image of the polar ice worm in his mind.

Rosik came to his senses after hearing Dudian’s words. He patted his head and turned to the old man: “I want to know about the polar ice worm, such as its appearance and living habits.”

The old man was stunned. He looked at Dudian and then looked at lothick. He thought that Dudian was Lothick’s guard but it seemed that Dudian’s status was higher?

He looked at dudian. He didn’t remember that there was such a person but he hadn’t seen many big figures. He nodded: “No problem. I will find him for you.”

“Thank you.”Rosik thanked him.

Dudian’s eyes flashed. He didn’t expect the old man to be so direct. He didn’t make any requests.

He thought about it and slowly felt relieved. Maybe the temple didn’t care about the information about the polar ice worm. It would be a good thing if a lord like Rosik got it. Maybe Rosik would directly sell it to them, even if they did not sell it, they would most likely secretly pay attention to Lothick’s movements. Once Lothick could get it, it would not be difficult to snatch it from him.

This was equivalent to a free reward. Naturally, there was no need to hide it.
