Seeing the poor middle-aged man in front of him trembling all over, Aiwass couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Mr. King’s character is quite interesting
Aiwass clearly told him that he and Isabel were both his acquaintances. This was undoubtedly a gesture of goodwill, because neither the minister nor the Princess of Avalon had any obligation to tell him such a secret.
As a result, he was shaking even more.
What is he afraid of?
Is it because he is worried that he will know information that he should not know, is he afraid of being silenced? Or does he feel that he must be dead, so Aiwass I will tell him these things to make him understand.
Seeing that Mr. "King" did not dare to speak actively, Aiwass could only reach out and knock on the armrest. Use your voice to get his attention.
"Name." Aiwass asked.
"Augustus Canter."
Mr. "King" replied.
Augustus
Aiwass was stunned for a moment.
What a good name. No wonder you are codenamed King
He sighed in his heart.
Augustus was the title of the emperor of the Roman Empire. In this world, the emperor of the Herasl Empire also used this title for a while.
The Star Antimony Kingdom is the country with the most complete preservation of the traditions of the Herasl Empire, so it is not surprising that the king knows this historical inconvenience.
The more fierce ones are indeed Mr. Wang’s parents.
By analogy, this is equivalent to the child’s surname being Huang, so his parents named him “Huang Shang”; or the surname being Bi, so he was named “Bixia”.
If it were in modern times, I would probably be laughed at by my classmates.
But the problem is that the Star Antimony Kingdom where he lives really has kings and nobles.
You have a pair of brave but sick parents. Aiwass praised in his heart.
Aiwass tried hard to hold down the subtle emotions in his heart, and adjusted his expression to prevent himself from laughing easily.
He continued to ask with a straight face, "Explain honestly what your path and profession are."
"I am a botanist on the balanced path."
Augustus answered proactively, "I am now at the second level, and I just passed the promotion ceremony on that ship yesterday."
He felt regretful when he mentioned this.
Just last night, a very friendly ritualist on the ship came over to personally guide his promotion ceremony.
A few days earlier, everyone on the ship had shared with him their experiences of the promotion ceremony. At that time, Augustus repeatedly praised them as good-hearted people. We exchanged glasses of wine with them and formed a short-term friendship that lasted less than three days in a warm atmosphere.
So when they saw these new friends of theirs wielding their weapons against the official people with great proficiency and killing them, the people of Augustus were frightened.
What's going on?
Why are these friends I just made so quick to beat them to death when they see the note?
Oh, these are not even the equivalent of police surveillance in the Star Antimony Kingdom. Or, but the inspector. The equivalent of Star Antimony's agents, or royal spies, otherwise, depending on their tacit understanding of cooperation, if the number of incoming notes is less than twenty, I'm afraid they can all be killed in an instant.
That’s killing people
It’s not killing in the ordinary sense, it’s even actively attacking and killing them in public
In an instant, Augustus guessed their identities.
The ship I won’t board is probably Avalon’s famous smuggling freighter
Someone come and save me, I’m going to be killed
” Hourglass, I am a serious businessman. Let alone smuggling, I have not even committed fraud. The goods I give to others are all worth the weight. I have never made unconscionable money."
Augustus couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this, and immediately stretched out his hand and swore, "In the name of sand timepieces, I can swear that what I have done before has always been a serious business. You may not know, but I am Because I didn’t go along with those people, I couldn’t survive in Star Antimony
“I met that person in a previous promotion ceremony, and his code name at the time was Antlers. He claimed that he needed a large amount of plant essential oils and ordered 800 white crown coins from me. This is almost equivalent to the five hundred gold coins we have there, which is a big order.
“He paid half of the deposit, and then said that I only need to send half of the goods first. Then he will pay the other half, and I will send the rest of the goods. I have been doing this for a long time. But I have never seen such a talkative customer. He usually delivers the goods first and pays the final payment later, as if he is not afraid of me skipping the order.”
Of course, now he knows why. .
When Augustus thought of the dozens of extraordinary mercenaries with different paths and high levels on board, he immediately understood why he was not afraid of escaping the order.
If I evade the bill and are caught by them again, their attitude will not be so friendly.
“I just want to see if he has any other needs. I have such a generous customer, so I want to make a long-term trade agreement."
Augustus replied very sincerely, "I am ready to pay the tariff. I even have the money with me. The goods are all plant essential oils. According to Avalon's customs law, plant essential oils are not classified as alchemy raw materials, but as plant products. The tariff is only 12. This is the first batch of goods, worth 400 white crowns. With fifty white crown coins, even if the customer doesn't plan to pay the tax, I can still make up the tax myself."
When he said this, he felt very aggrieved.
He thought it was a pie-in-the-sky deal. Sure enough, there is nothing so good in this world
It’s rare to encounter someone who doesn’t bargain much about price, pays first and then delivers goods, and wants huge quantities of goods.A big customer turned out to be a smuggler
No wonder he didn't negotiate the price. It turned out that he didn't have to go through customs at all.
Avalon’s import tariff for Star Antimony’s alchemical products is as much as 54, and the alchemical raw materials are also 30. Basically, goods cannot come in.
If Mr. "Antlers" can avoid going through customs, it means that he not only has sufficient supply of goods, but also the cost is half lower than others. This means that if he can take action, he can easily monopolize the market.
Augustus was not stupid.
He now understands why such a large batch of antlers is needed
This should be regarded as an investment in himself. After all, he can make plant essential oils and other types of plant-based alchemical raw materials. These are things he has to do with himself now. When he reaches the second level, he will be able to make some simple alchemy products and produce alchemy raw materials and intermediate products in larger quantities. That is actually the part he is targeting
< p>To put it simply, all he wants is money, but he wants his own peopleAugustus regretted, "Why did I suddenly have a whim and want to come over and have a look?"< /p>
Sure enough, people can’t be greedy
He actually didn’t need to follow him this time. The reason why he came here is very simple, because he wanted to come over to see if such a rich man needs anything else. He might be able to make other things, so he doesn’t have to go to other people to buy them here. It can be done in one stop, and the price can also be lower.
If we can successfully attract some business by then, there will be no shortage of orders within at least a few years.
But now, just thinking about it, Augustus felt scared.
"Antlers" employs dozens of mercenaries alone.
If I find out that he is a smuggler and wants to run away, I am afraid he will be caught directly.
After all, he actually sold goods here, and Got dirty money. By then he would have his own handle.
But it feels like the life and death crisis is just moving from the back to the front. Smuggling cases involving more than two hundred gold coins are already punishable by death in Star Antimony. He can beheaded at least three times.
"Minister Moriarty, please be careful."
The king said with a grimace, "No matter what you need me to do, I will obey your order. Whether it is reporting or A former minister or something, but I can't go to jail, I still have to support my family, and my daughter is still at home waiting for me to go back."
Although Augustus now knows that this unusually young minister is related to that All the princesses are acquaintances whom I have met during the promotion ceremony.
But at this moment, he didn't dare to call the other person "fox" in a close manner.
Augustus had a very clear understanding of his identity as a prisoner.
Don't be pretentious, and don't think you can get any benefits. If you can find a way to survive this wave, it's already a good ending..
If he had been placed in Xing Antimony, I'm afraid he would have been pulled into a secret room and tortured.
I heard that Avalon pays more attention to the law and requires evidence, so he may still be saved.
Probably a hammer
All the evidence he can come up with is all in his dream
