Chapter 463: Unintentional hatred

"Baron Cook, welcome!" A man in a black tuxedo, lined with snow-white woolen shirt, has a few huge gemstone rings on his hand, and his hair is combed with oily hair, and a strong fragrance blows his face. .
"Thank you, Archbishop Rose." Cook resisted the urge to vomit. There was no way. The scent was too strong. This is not the point. The point is that Archbishop Rose has body odor, which is difficult to remove by surgery on the earth. Besides, this world.
"Beautiful Miss West Asia, your beauty eclipses the flowers. Welcome." Archbishop Rose turned his head and praised West Asia.
"Thank you!" Xia replied with a smile.
Cook and Xia walked into the hall arm in arm. It was a reception, but the place was in the Scarlet Fortress. These nobles didn't care about the millions of orcs that were ten kilometers away.
"Why? Not happy?" Xia asked with a smile looking at Cook's appearance.
"I don't think there is any need to fight this battle, just send Archbishop Rose up." Cook smiled at a person passing by to greet him, and then whispered in Xia's ear.
"Why is this?" Xia picked up a drink from a waiter's silver tray and asked.
"Because he can smoke the orcs to the ground." Cook replied with a toothy mouth.
"Cough cough, cough cough!" Xia didn't expect Cook to answer this way. Drinks were choking into her nose, and the surrounding guests looked at Xia in surprise.
"You, I'll tell you later." Sia looked at some traces of liquid on the purple dress on her chest, rolled her eyes at Cook, and said in a low voice, then pinched Cook hard and went to find a place to change The clothes are gone.
Cook sat a little bored on the chairs. These chairs are made of fine iron wood and covered with gorgeous fur. Each piece is worth ten thousand gold. Cook looked at the guests who kept coming in. The men were all black dresses. , With some gems, gold and silver jewelry, women are gifts of various styles and colors, with shiny diamonds, purple gold, and gems, a little dazzling under the magic halo of the light magic spar.
"Oh!" It's been several days since Cook came to Scarlet Fortress. Cook's reputation has continued to improve in the past few years. First, the wine made in cooperation with the dwarves is very popular on the mainland, and the price is comparable to gold.
There is also the sale of dwarf weapons, the magical metal mines that are rich in enemy countries, and the huge armed forces in their hands. The ogre knights have a total of 10,000 people, and the troll knights. The most recent magic airships are even nobles. The best thing to compare.
Archbishop Rose is the host tonight. Those who can be invited by Archbishop Rose are all nobles and a status symbol.
"Your Excellency, do you mind if I sit down?" a young man asked, bending over with a wine glass in his hand.
"Please!" Cook didn't know this guy at all, but looking at his clothes, he was probably the heir of some great nobleman.
"Your Excellency, my father also ordered an airship from your Magic Airship Chamber of Commerce, and it is the largest one." Seeing that Cook did not continue to say anything, the young man had to say it first.
Cook took a look at the young man, and then asked, "The biggest magic airship costs 500 million gold coins. I remember there are only three, one for the Pope of the Light Empire, one for the Magic Guild, and one for the Mani Empire. , Are you the crown prince of the Mani Empire?"
"Your Excellency Baron has a good memory, but I am not the crown prince, my father is the crown prince." The young man replied with a smile.
The Mani Empire is close to the Bright Empire. It has the largest coastline on the entire continent and is rich in resources. It is the second largest mercenary adventure place besides the Warcraft Forest. The coastline here is not as beautiful as on the earth, but is and wide. The ocean of China has bred countless water monsters, and the ten kilometers between the coastline and the land are extremely dangerous places.
However, the sea is also the most abundant. Maybe you are lucky enough to pick up some dead beast corpses or magic materials. A large number of mercenaries make the Mani Empire very rich.
"Hehe, congratulations to your highness, you will receive the magic airship soon." Cook said with a toast.
"Really?" the young man asked very excitedly.
"Of course." Cook nodded and replied affirmatively.
"Your Excellency Baron, I also want to book a smaller magic airship, I don't know..." The young man's face then dimmed, obviously because the magic airship couldn't fall into his own hands.
"Hehe, the Airship Chamber of Commerce welcomes you." Cook toasted again.
"Thank you, Lord Baron, you have to be more careful." The young man whispered to Cook.
Cook was taken aback, and then asked: "What's wrong, Your Highness, have you heard any news?"
"Your Excellency, don't look at so many people here, at least half of them want to kill you." The young man said, shaking his glass.
"Kill...Kill me?" Cook asked repeatedly without waking up.
"Yes, because you have the wealth of the entire continent, airships, and magic metal." The young man explained in a low voice.
"Who is there?" A cold light flashed in Cook's eyes, and Cook understood that someone was jealous when he saw his own thing.
"Aristocratic Union Council, Holy See of Light." The young man looked at Cook and finally said.
"Thank you, you can go directly to the Airship Chamber of Commerce and take an airship, but I made it." Cook said with a heart move when he saw the youth's face, there is no reason for Cook not to thank you for such a big news.
"This...this... thank you so much." The young man's face flushed suddenly, and he said excitedly.
"What are they going to do?" Cook asked, shaking his glass.
"In fact, the Lord Baron shouldn't have come here. It's full of war, and people will die at any time." The young man's answer made Cooke's eyes bright.
In fact, Cook had never thought that someone would be worried about his wealth. Cook always thought that the world was so beautiful, but now it seems that he is too wishful.
The young man whispered again: "Before the whereabouts of the baron was uncertain, they were not easy to do it, but now the baron is here, they will definitely do it, but I am also jealous of the baron?"
"Jealous?" Cook repeated with a smile.
"Someone made a statistics. From last winter to half a year now, the total price of goods in and out of your Baron's territory reached 3 billion gold coins." The young man explained in a low voice.
"Really?" Cook replied noncommittingly ~EbookFREE.me~ for a moment.
"And the things that Lord Baron did made the great nobles very disliked." The young man said again.
"Why?" Cook didn't understand even more.
"Your Excellency may not know that the price of corn has never been higher than two copper coins per catty, but now it is four copper coins. This increase in your price has reduced the income of the nobles by a lot, and the quality, Baron The quality of corn that you have checked and accepted is now universal across the continent. In the past, the nobles not only lowered the price, but also lowered the quality. There were also linens and other things that let you increase the price of the baron, and the income of the nobles would naturally be reduced. A lot, a lot." The young man explained carefully.
"Damn!" Cook finally knew that he was annoyed by the public. When he didn't have his own, the nobles would lower the price and lower the quality. Then they would earn several times their wealth after buying them. The nobles' strategy failed, which means that Cook unintentionally successfully provoked the hatred of most nobles.
"Your Excellency, take care." Seeing that Cook's face was very bad, the young man left with a sense of interest. Such a news in exchange for a magic airship seemed very cost-effective to the young man. As for leaking secrets, nothing! Is there a top secret among the nobles?
