On the Seven Towers

In the outer city of Suero, the largest main street is Lark Street.

Three black carriages came quickly and arrogantly from a distance. These carriages were different from carriages with people in them. Not only were their bodies very long, but they also had thick wheels. Each carriage was dragged by four horses. The coachmen waved their whips skillfully and shouted to everyone to give way. The driver, his side and the top of the carriage were guarded by fully armed warriors holding crossbows. Each carriage was surrounded by four escorting knights. Pedestrians on the road fled when they saw this, and discerning people had already seen from the coat of arms on the walls of the carriage and the armor of the guards that this was the motorcade of the local tyrant, Baron Goya. Others saw that the first carriage was clearly sitting on the baron's most trusted butler, Mr. Ines.

"I don't know where the Diaz family has sold good things from. It's been a long time since I've seen such a grand gesture." A street shop owner sighed as he looked at the motorcade whizzing by.

"You are rushing to die in such a hurry." A foreign businessman who was almost knocked down said angrily.

"Guest, be careful what you say. Most people here can't offend Baron Goya." The boss kindly advised the guest. He pointed to the inner city on the hillside, "Twenty percent of Suero's industry is related to He can't get rid of it. This time, the baron may have got something good and he should be eager to sell it. "

"Then you can't drive like that. Aren't you afraid of overturning and injuring someone?" The guest still muttered unhappily.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, several loud noises were heard from the street in front, followed by a sound of horses neighing and people roaring. The guest looked from a distance and saw only three carriages flipping to the ground and one flying up. The wheel that reached the sky was falling down and hit the ground, causing people around to scream. The guest and the boss looked at each other, covered their mouths and said, "I didn't curse it!"

The boss and the guests curiously followed the people on the road to watch the excitement. When they got closer, they discovered that just when the Baron's motorcade was about to pass through the intersection, a luxurious carriage suddenly rushed out from the crossroads and slammed fiercely. It collided with the Baron's first carriage. The two carriages that collided were overturned and even the carriages were cracked. In order to avoid the fallen carriage in front, the two carriages behind also changed directions in a hurry and fell on the ground. on the ground.

"What is that?" The guest found that a box in the first carriage had been thrown out. The things that fell out of the box seemed to be broken, leaving shiny things all over the floor. Although these large and small fragments are very messy, they shine with a blurred light.

"Is it a crystal? A gem? Why is it so big? Why is it so bright? It must be a treasure anyway. Look, those knights didn't care about the wounded and all went to protect the box." The boss looked at the stars on the ground in a daze. I have been doing business for many years, but I have never seen anything like this.

At this time, the housekeeper Ines crawled up from the ground in embarrassment, got up and cried loudly towards the debris on the ground, howling loudly: "God of nature, these are all treasures from the Western Continent. It’s over, it’s over, the master will kill me!”

Ines looked like a madman. His hand was cut by glass shards and bleeding without even realizing it. He yelled at the coachmen and guards: "You bastards, why don't you protect these babies? This is something more important than life." . I’m going to be finished, and you are going to be finished too! Come on, take the things out and check if there are any broken ones!”

At this time, a young man climbed out of the luxury carriage that caused the accident. It can be seen that he was originally a well-dressed and handsome boy with a decent demeanor. However, he may have injured his head in the car accident. There was blood on his forehead and his clothes were in a mess. .

"Oh! Isn't this Mr. Sanguino of the Basque family?" The shop owner who was watching recognized the young man. "The Basque family and the Diaz family are not going to deal with each other. Now there is a good show."

Sure enough, the young man from the Basque family took out a sword and came to charge menacingly, but Ines seemed to have found a life-saving straw and stepped forward without any sign of weakness, forcing the responsibility of the car accident on the other party. superior. At this time, the guard leader came over with a sad face and reported: "Mr. Ines, two of them were broken."

"Master Sanguino Bacchus, no matter what, you must compensate my master. These treasures were passed down from an ancient royal family in the Western Continent, the Gavilia family. There are very few in the world and no one has ever heard of them. It’s something I’ve never seen before, a truly rare treasure. Our master spent a lot of money and made many connections to get three of them, but just like that, two of them were destroyed.”

"Ines, don't pretend to be a ghost for me! What a thing from the Western Continent! Don't fool me." Sanguino pointed to the blood on his head and said angrily: "Can your rags be as valuable as mine? ? You want to blackmail me, no way! Get the things out for me, our family has been dealing in antique jewelry for so many years, I don’t believe you have treasures that I haven’t seen before!”

Ines took a very elegant sandalwood box from the guard and carefully removed the lid. On the satin lining, there lay a vase with beautiful luster. Regardless of the strange shape and pattern of this vase, its transparent material and the bright golden light emitting from it make people feel that it is of value. Under the sunlight, the light in this vase seems to be as strong as the sun in the sky. Echoing each other, they continue to flow slowly.

"Master Sanguino, have you ever seen something like this? Can you tell me its value?" Ines said excitedly as he brought the vase to Bacchus.

Sanguino Bacchus was excited and he shouted loudly, "It's so beautiful, so beautiful. This is the most beautiful vase I've ever seen! Incredible! I, I can even feel a magical power in it!"

The people around him also exclaimed, and more and more people gathered around, vying to see the treasures that Master Sanguis could not deny against his will.

"Two, two such treasures were destroyed by you." Ines said painfully.

"I'm sorry. These are indeed priceless treasures, and I can't insult them." Sanguino said loudly, "But I don't admit that the car accident is my fault. Even if the case is brought to the Suero City Hall, to the Commercial Arbitration Committee, and to the Supreme Court of the Kingdom, the result will be the same."

"Well, then! Since you want the adults to decide, let's go now!" Ines said uncompromisingly.

Not long after, Ines left eight guards to watch the scene, and went to Suero Court not far from the outer city with the treasures and debris. Sangino also followed with his guards, and behind them was a huge crowd of people watching the excitement.

—————————————————————————

"Look, half of the city has followed, and soon your glass bottle will become the hottest topic in the city." On the third-floor rooftop of a building not far from the scene of the incident, Baron Goya leisurely accompanied Xiao Chen and the other two to watch the excitement.

"You are such a great director." Xiao Chen exclaimed.

"Being with a wise magician, you can always learn something new. What is a 'director'?" Diaz took a sip of the fruit wine in his hand and asked with interest.

"Ah, we call the person who directs a drama performance a director. Isn't the following performance directed by you?" Xiao Chen replied.

"Haha, director, I like this word. A good businessman must be a good director. Only in this way can those little tricks be used well. But you are the one who has contributed the most."

"Oh? These ideas are all yours."

"First of all, it is your source of goods. Without these unique bottles and jars, I can't do anything. Secondly, it is your strength. The polishing and strengthening magic I gave you was used to the extreme by you, otherwise these vases would not become so gorgeous." Baron Goya complimented.

"That is an amazing magic. I never thought that magic can also be used to make handicrafts." Xiao Chen recalled the magic information provided by the baron. This is the magical magic passed down from the Baroness's family. It can make the surface of the object more shiny and emit a faint fluorescence. However, after Xiao Chen's violent spellcasting, the glass bottle was kept at a dazzling light, and it can be used as a desk lamp when you buy it back. This is something that other low-level magicians can never do.

"Xiao Chen used all his strength. That bottle is really blinding." Luo Ling chuckled.

"So, they are even rarer," said the baron.

"How will the lawsuit proceed?" Xiao Chen asked curiously.

"There will always be some quarrels. But the final result will be a reconciliation between the two sides. Everyone will make concessions, and the Basque family will compensate us for a vase with one thousand gold axe coins. People will understand that when everyone has equal responsibility and strength, one thousand gold axes is the price of buying a vase. In this way, we have set a bottom price for this kind of top-quality glass. I have already named it, let's call it Gaviria Sun Glass."

"One thousand gold axe coins?" Xiao Chen asked in surprise. He calculated in his mind and knew that this was equivalent to RMB 6 million.

"If it is less than this price, it will be unfair to this performance." Baron Goya asked back, "What was the price you originally planned?"

Xiao Chen remained silent. He knew in his heart that the result of the discussion at the school at that time was that the bottle was sold by silver coins, but a few silver coins were already two or three thousand yuan. Even at this price, there are still many people who think it is too expensive, too cunning, and makes people feel unconfident.

The baron couldn't help laughing when he saw Xiao Chen's expression: "You want to sell bottles, and I want to sell face. The difference is too big. The same thing, with a label of 'luxury', the price can increase a hundred times, and with a label of 'antique', it can increase a hundred times again, and with a label of 'unique in the world', it is not difficult to increase it a hundred times again. If you make up a good story for them, it will be more profitable. From this point of view, you will find that the price I opened is not outrageous."

Seeing that everyone present was silent and thoughtful, the baron raised his glass and said: "Let's toast and wish the upcoming auction a complete success. The old Basque family is still waiting to do this long-term business together."
