People in the Middle Ages, draw cards to get promoted

Chapter 165 A bag of double gold

Baron Fulk led his attendants and headed in the direction he found out.

Before we arrived, we saw people lined up in a long queue, and behind them, there were more newly arrived people filling in the queue, making the road more and more crowded.

He ordered his attendants to wait by the side with the horses, and tried their best to push through the crowd and squeeze into the middle.

Some squeezed in, while others waved packages and squeezed outward.

A male sailor with thinning hair and rough face due to the sea wind, unwrapped the package in his hand, looked it up a bit, and cursed loudly.

"Damn it, it's ten ordinary cards again!"

The sailor was full of resentment: "This is already the third pack of cards I bought, and I don't even have a single legendary card!"

At this time, a man dressed as a stonemason happened to raise a card in his hand and shouted happily: "Out, out, I have a legendary card of Count Lothar. Hahaha, tonight, In the 'Trees and Fist' tavern, I must kill the Quartet and earn a fortune!"

The joys and sorrows of people are not interlinked.

The sailor was holding a stack of cards in his hand, gnashing his teeth angrily, wanting to give him a hammer in the face.

At this time.

A businessman yelled loudly: "Hey, man, I'll offer you ten fine florin gold coins to buy this legendary card in your hand. How about it? Do you want to make a move?"

The man suddenly showed a heart-wrenching expression.

Ten florin gold coins can buy five fat and strong pigs, or two strong draft horses, and buying the card pack by yourself only costs ten silver dinars.

Even if he kills all directions in the tavern, winning for several days in a row, it is still difficult to win such a huge amount of wealth.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "Deal."

The businessman said with a smile: "Smart choice, we can sign a contract immediately to ensure that the transaction process is legal."

He paid such a high price to give a gift to the lord he is loyal to.

Both the lord and his wife are loyal readers of the novel "The Witcher". They must be very happy to receive such a special gift.

As for whether it is worth it?
As long as the lord entrusts him with his own business, he will naturally earn ten times the profit.

Seeing this scene, Fulk thought to himself.

Heavenly Father, these Jerusalemites are crazy. They actually exchanged ten golden florins for one card.

Although the production of this card is indeed exquisite.

He waited in line for a long time, and finally squeezed into the front seat.

He said without thinking, "Give me ten packets."

The young guy who sold the goods had an apologetic smile on his face: "I'm sorry, each person can only buy three packs. Three packs is enough for you to put together a deck and use it to fight against others."

Fulk showed a surprised expression: "Why is there still a purchase limit?"

The young salesman smiled and said, "Because of my lord, I hope more people can participate in such interesting entertainment activities, not for making money."

"At the same time, it is also to prevent some people from developing a gambler mentality and using all the money that was originally used to maintain their lives to buy cards."

Use the money to maintain life to buy this kind of thing?Will there be such a fool?
Fulk sneered in his heart: "Then let's get three guarantees first."

The salesperson piled up three card packs and handed them to Fulk: "Thank you for your patronage. There are thirty dinars in total. They should be in good condition, or a solid gold coin."

"So expensive?"

Baron Fulk secretly ached.

His domain in the Languedoc, near the Pyrenees, is full of outcroppings of white limestone and desolate scrub.

Therefore, thirty dinars are considered a considerable amount of wealth to Baron Fulk.

"Dear guest, this is actually not expensive. What we use is the precious paper shipped from the Song Empire in the East, and it is also inlaid with a metal frame to prevent it from being folded.

If you've seen the quality of our cards for yourself, you'll know that life-like portraits in frames, who wouldn't think it was the work of an artist? "

Fulk pondered for a moment, and felt that it was reasonable, but the urging voice behind made him unable to get off the tiger, so he could only say, "Well, I'd better get a pack first."

The salesperson's expression was as usual, and he still said politely: "Okay, thank you for ten silver dinars."

Holding the card bag, Fulk struggled to squeeze out of the crowd.

Tear open the paper seal.

Open the first one.

The back was so golden that Fulk believed it was even plated with gold.

The content of the painting above is the scene of Baldwin IV wearing a silver mask and leading his army to charge on the battlefield.

【God bless my king Baldwin】

Points: 6
Effect: Put it into your melee slot, and all melee followers will get an increase of two points.

His hands became a little trembling.

It's worth it!

The cost of making this card alone may far exceed the ten silver dinars he gave.

Flipping down, I saw another card that was also shining golden.

[Raymond, Earl of Tripoli]

Points: 6
Effect: Putting it into one's melee column will destroy the opponent's melee column, the first card on the left.

"My God, a bag of double gold, what kind of luck are you having?"

The onlookers exclaimed.

Many people were so jealous that they wanted to come up and loot it—if it wasn't for the guarded Royal Knights patrolling nearby.

Baron Fulk felt his feet trembling for a while. If the two golden cards were purchased according to the purchase price of the merchant just now, that is to say, with only ten silver dinars, he would have earned twenty fine Fulk cards. Gold coins of Lorraine?
His mouth felt parched.

"I seem to understand why they only sell three card packs each."

He immediately turned around and squeezed into the crowd again.

Standing on the top floor of Constance Manor, Coors looked at the scene in front of the shop not far away and smiled with satisfaction.

The development of the situation was within his expectations.

Of all the card packs in the first batch, only one pack contained two legendary cards, that is, gold cards.

In fact, even if he played a few more cards, he still made some money, and he made a lot of money.

What is the greatest and most irrepressible nature of human beings?
It's greed!
"Gambling" is to take advantage of human greed.

People sometimes think they are lucky enough.

As everyone knows, the more probabilistic things are, the easier it is for people to get what they want without a clear price tag, but this kind of probabilistic things will make people flock to them.

Some people only have [-] silver dinars in their pockets, and they only need [-] dinars to try it once, and it is possible to double it dozens of times. Who would not be tempted?

If the price is clearly marked, a legendary card costs a hundred dinars, but it will calm the customer down.

"It's a pity, if it wasn't for the adult's explicit prohibition, I could even guide these people to take out the last copper coin in their pockets for eating."

Coors showed the characteristic cold smile of a vampire. He never regarded human beings as his own kind, let alone the slightest bit of mercy.

Today, just for "Teacher", Coors sent out [-] or [-] veterans who have taken off their armor. They are loyal and reliable, and their acting skills are also online.

Because when they were in the City Guard Army, they were first-rate ruffians.

The reason why Lothar made the order first was that he was worried about triggering an alternative "tulip craze" (the hype of tulips in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century), although there is a high probability that this is not possible.

But he is not a pure businessman, and profit is never the first priority for Lothar.

Jurisprudence, prestige.

The two words are invisible and intangible.

But it is real.

He didn't want to ruin his reputation because of this incident, and be reduced to a role like "the vampire who empties people's wallets".
