The day passed peacefully.
This is true for ordinary people, but for the merchants and nobles of Novigrad, this day is very messy.
All because of the tragedy of the death of more than 20 people in Philip's family.
Sometimes the people above are helpless. What happened, whether to announce to the public, how to say it, these need to be carefully considered.
Once something goes wrong, the hidden problems brought about may affect the economy and order of a country.
For example, the tragedy of the Philip family, combined with the mask butcher, will surely bring about a series of panic effects.
This incident was suppressed by the church and the authorities, and it was treated as a matter of order.
However, economic chaos is unavoidable. As one of Novigrad’s most successful businessmen, Philip is sitting on the city’s only leather factory, an iron ore manufacturing plant, 3 restaurants, and 16 grocery stores. Cooperation with banks.
His death brought all the above-mentioned businesses to a halt, and the nobles who cooperated with him were obviously burnt out.
This trade inevitably puts the rich in a state of irritability, but today is different. The slave market opens today.
As the only population trading market in the Niftgaard Empire, it attracts a large number of merchants and nobles from all over the country and the world every year.
The purpose of their coming is not just to buy people. The slave market is more like a forum for the rich. Newly rich people bring new business opportunities, and those who stay in high positions can talk about their experiences and bring new cooperation.
And those slaves are just a dessert in the forum, a tool for the rich to show their wealth.
On the other hand, there are two ways to enter the market:
directly paid 55,000 grams to the Victoria Casino in Folia to become a member and get an annual card.
Then renew the fee by 10,000 Km each year, which is a policy specifically aimed at wealthy businessmen.
Or go to Sara Street in Nanjiexiang District, find a building with the most design sense, which is one of the offices of the underground gang of Novigrad, hand in a set of Gwent decks, and pass some basic audits .
If you are from Novigrad, it only takes a few hours to verify your identity and you can pass.
If you are a foreigner, you need to change your cards five days before the start of the slave market.
If you are a foreigner... usually not accepted.
After passing the review, go to the Black Crow Tavern to register your personal information with the special Gwent card handed over by the gang, even if you have completed the admission procedures.
The main targets of this screening method are those who are not wealthy but have evil resources.
Because playing cards made the poor people lose their minds, in order to completely put an end to this phenomenon, the Gwent card has long been discontinued in the Nifogad Empire.
So wanting to get a complete set of Gwent cards is not something that money can do.
Those who can do this are talents who have extensive contacts or walk in the dark side of the market. These people usually bring extra money-making channels to nobles and merchants.
The slave market is a distorted but reasonable screening and cooperation platform that appears after the collusion of governments, rich people, gangs and even churches.
……
Inside the Victoria Casino, well-dressed wealthy and nobles have arrived on the second floor.
Behind a gate is the location of the slave market.
Security personnel wearing black clothes stand on both sides of the passage and in front of the entrance.
The security of the slave market is usually done by gangsters, but this year is a bit special.
The gang leader, the death of King Hawthorne XVII brought a lot of shock to the underground world of Novigrad. In order to allow the security work to proceed smoothly, the church sent people to organize this time.
Doss came to the entrance of the market. He was the organizer sent by the church this time. Now all the guests have entered.
"Are there anyone with a special Gwent card?"
He asked the admission clerk.
The registrar held a table, "According to the number of registered places in the Black Crow Tavern... Uh... there is a person named Baikal Punk."
He put down the watch in his hand and looked at Doss and then asked, "By the way...Captain, didn't you stay in Xiacheng yesterday? Have you seen that person."
Dos fell silent, and said, "I need to see him and confirm again."
"But...it's a rule not to disturb the guests who enter the venue..." The registrar was a little embarrassed.
Dos glared at him and said, "This is not something you should be concerned about."
The registrar felt a chill in his eyes, a chill with anger, instantly stunned.
For Doss, there can be no mistakes this time, and the rigor of each link must be confirmed, because he needs to successfully defeat Li Nuo to prove his worth.
Joa's words that day made him suffer, thinking about it, in fact, Joa's words are ugly but they are correct.
From the beginning of "Grass Decoction", Doss has been walking behind Li Nuo, the medicine was taken away, and Wu Yun was lost because of a wrong underestimation.
In the brothel for the second time, he obviously occupies an important network advantage, but was evacuated, and he didn't even see a personal image.
The third time, and also the first time to fight against each other. Without Qiaoya's flying knife, I guess I would have returned to the main space to mourn with Wu Yun.
Facing a player whose level is so much lower than his own, it would be shameful to appear only once in the above three times, not to mention that there was a triple match, which is simply too quality.
In the venue, guests were sitting around a large...very long... arc-shaped table.
There is a hollow stage with a radius of 20 meters in the center of the table for displaying "goods".
At this time, the guests were chatting with each other, showing the politeness and order of the upper class, the atmosphere was harmonious and stable, and full of the evil splendor of capitalism.
In this elegant atmosphere like eating shit, Doss recognized the person named Baikal Punk at a glance. This person had a fate during the exchange of special Gwent cards yesterday.
"Is it Mr. Punk?" Doss stood respectfully behind him.
Punk turned his head, he had a dog-tail braid, a thin face, and his sallow complexion revealed the shabby life. Although his clothes were dressed in a decent shirt and vest, the dust on his leather shoes told others that his life was not. Be rich.
"What are you doing?" The tone of the punk formed a great contrast with the gentlemen around him, and many of them cast a disgusting look at him.
is like a pseudonym among a ladyboy, a bamboo mouse in a pile of mice, a programmer in a white-collar worker.
Doss expected this person to be so rude, and he was not surprised, and said calmly: "Sir, you are the only VIP who enters the venue with a Gwent card, so we need to make another profile for the file."
"So troublesome?" Punk grinned, displeased: "Didn't you fill a bunch of things yesterday? What else do you want to know today, my mother's last name?"
"No... your mother has nothing to do with this meeting..." Doss himself didn't understand why he had to explain this sentence.
"We just need you to tell me, how did you collect the deck used to exchange for the special Gwent card yesterday?"
Punker gave Doss a blank look, and said with disdain: "Cut...Why didn't you ask yesterday? Only when the came out did I look for the cottage."
'S words attracted more disgusting eyes. Some people even took out a handkerchief to cover their noses, as if something really smelly was here.
"Please understand, this is our job."
Doss lowered his head humbly. He must be lying. There is no requirement at all to tell how the Gwent cards were collected.
"Are you sure you want to listen?" Punk was suspicious.
Doss nodded, "Listen to you."
"I think you should know who I am?" Punk consciously raised his legs.
"Of course, the registration form says that you are the owner of the'Big Cat' grocery store, Baikal Punk."
"Very good." Punk nodded in satisfaction and raised his chin proudly, "This is who I am now, but once, I was an adventurer..."
In the next ten minutes, Doss felt his ears grow out of cocoons and felt his head aching. He listened to Punk talking about his life stories for ten minutes, and it took him a long time to talk about his twelve How did you get the fourth Gwent card.
There are still five minutes before the auction begins. Doss is sure that this is not enough time for a punk to become an adult.
Just when Doss was hesitant to stop here, he heard a faint noise outside.
He looked at the door alertly, when a guard walked in quickly and whispered to his ear: "The door was attacked. It's a guy wearing a mask..."
coming!
Doss' eyes brightened, and he ignored the punk who was still talking, and quickly walked out of here.
Seeing Doss leave, Punk sighed in relief.
"Fortunately, I am a manga... can edit..."
