Pound raised his eyebrows, stopped and repeated it deliberately. "Get out?"
Seeing the old steward with a face full of shame, he bent down deeply and explained bravely,
"It's like this. Since the potion competition is about to start, in the middle... Well, anyway, the contestant from Fonso City insisted that he had sent a letter to propose a housing reservation, but we didn't receive it at the moment. Now the person has arrived Kuluo, you said that if you can’t stay, you will protest to the assembly and the city owner. This, this is really--the store has no choice but to ask you for your help. The store is willing to give you a full refund and will be responsible for all your subsequent accommodation It’s just that you have to change your room to a room of a different grade, how about that?”
Seeing the sweat on the old steward's forehead, Pang De assessed the authenticity of the words.
In a class society like the Hess Empire, the power held by the nobles is not something that the common people can resist. Even if they have money, it is not impossible to be evicted halfway through the house.In this way, it is no wonder that the inn gave in easily. After all, if the inn does not cooperate, it will be unlucky in the future. It is very realistic, and normal operators are unlikely to offend nobles so much for a commoner.But Pound wanted to know, if he really wanted to give up, who would be responsible for the debt.
"Although the suite we live in is the highest level, it's not just ours. Why don't you ask others?" Insufficient credit. It stands to reason that the transaction has been completed, and if your store breaks the contract, I believe it will be compensated according to the laws of the empire.”
"Your Excellency said that," the stooped old steward immediately grimaced, "but, alas, let me just say one thing honestly, your Excellency, the other rooms are occupied by people who cannot be moved by small shops, and it is even more problematic if they are moved. Compensation is trivial in comparison.”
"So," Pound smiled, "does the steward want to send us money?" The steward's answer reminded Pound that even if the hotel has a helpless stance, it is one of the accomplices; it helped pick out the persimmons.
Hearing that the old steward's face froze slightly, he accepted Pang De's accusation and saluted again. "Yes. Even if you have no choice but to cause inconvenience to you, the shop will not be able to delay the responsibility. If you can make things go smoothly, you can also discuss any additional compensation you want."
Being so straightforward, Pang De somewhat appreciated the old steward's response to the crisis.
"Who asked us to check out?" Pound changed the topic.
"Uh, this..." The old steward hesitated for a while.Pang De raised his eyebrows, and said bluntly, "If you don't agree, I believe you will give our information to the other party sooner or later. Why, can I ask for a name?"
The old steward looked embarrassed, because Pang De's guess was not wrong.They even gave each other the list of guests.After all, the hotel's way of protecting itself at this time is to push Pang De, an unlucky commoner, in front of him, and push the blame for the failure of the room change to the commoner who doesn't know what is good or bad.
So the old steward sighed, and simply explained all the powerful relationships, "The other party is the grandnephew of the lord of Fang Suo City, who is known as the potion prodigy of the empire. He is 15 years old this year and is also the youngest contestant in this competition. Suocheng is not in the right place, especially when it comes to holding the potion contest, and now Fangsuocheng is going to make trouble, even the city lord will definitely blame the shop."
Pound nodded when he heard the words, and almost made up his mind, but at this moment, Funk interjected, "Wait, is the room given to us a single room or a small hall?"
The old steward paused, turned to the tall swordsman who had been silent all this time, and quickly replied, "It's a private room, but it's the best one! All the home decorations are--"
Unexpectedly, before he finished talking about Funk, he firmly shook his head, "That won't work, we won't change it. We don't want a private room," he said, and patted Mao Tuan on the head.Poor Maotuan doesn't know that Funk still has the idea of separating rooms, and now he is snoring under Funk very much.
Looking at Funk's serious and determined expression, Pound couldn't help but be a little bit ironic.It's good to be unafraid of power. Anyway, they both have no assets, and they have practiced magic to the current level and they are not afraid of force.
This made the old manager anxious. He looked at Funk and then at Pound, "This? Your Excellency... If you want to pay compensation, we can go in and discuss it in detail!"
Pound was about to speak again when another old man in a hurry walked into the hotel lobby.He is also in charge, working for the first-class Potts auction house that Pound visited two days ago.
The old steward of the hotel was taken aback for a moment, seeing that the visitor had a hurried expression, he thought it was some serious matter.During the Potion Contest, merchants in the entire Kuluo City often held meetings in the early stage to discuss how to deal with the crowds gathered during the competition.The old steward stepped forward and asked, "Your Excellency Bergland? What's the matter?"
This Lord Bergland of the Potts Auction House saw the happy faces behind the two of Pound, but first turned to the old steward and smiled, "No, no, today I am not looking for my brother, I am looking for His Excellency Hess, Coincidentally, Your Excellency Hess is also here."
Berggrand's answer made the old steward's eyes turn to Pound in surprise.
Pound nodded to Bergland, "Good day, Mr. Bergrund. We are going to the auction house, isn't it about eleven o'clock? Are you here?"
"Hey, I don't know Taishan, so I came here to make up for it." Bergland patted himself on the head with a smile, "Shortly after your Excellency left, the contact sent by your Excellency Lance arrived. He told me I have to greet you two well, if you don’t mind, please make more use of the guest house set up by the auction house.” Speaking of this, Bergland turned his head and smiled at the old steward, “I’m sorry bro, our guest house is not inferior to the standard of a hotel. I I just thought, since you have an appointment to come to the auction house today, why not let me pick you up here, if you have luggage, the camel cart is waiting outside."
Pound raised his eyebrows, thinking of this short and chubby Bergland, who is very efficient in everything he does.
And counting the time, on the first day of arriving here to ask the trade union to send a message, it is time to reach Fandexi.
Funk next to him spoke again, saying the same thing, "Does the room in your hostel have a small hall?"
Bergland immediately said enthusiastically, "It's not just a small hall, we have prepared a whole single room for the two of you. The reception room, the tea room, the study room, and even the guest room and nursery room are available for a whole family! The site is in In the auction house, there are usually guards patrolling, and the environment is quite quiet and safe. If you want to eat, there will be a cook at hand. Since the two gentlemen like our menu, please make the most of it, and the two of you can live so much that you don’t want to live So far," Bergland saw the complex expression of the old steward beside him, and quickly added, "I think the hotel room is also very tight during the conference, so don't be offended by my arrangement like this, brother?"
"No, of course not..." The old steward shook his head in embarrassment, and Funk looked at Pound expectantly, "Then let's go to the guest house."
The corners of Pound's eyes twitched, but he still nodded, "Go back and check the things to see if you missed anything in the room."
This sentence is tantamount to agreeing with Berggrand's invitation, Funk happily agreed, and went upstairs with the hairball in his arms.Hearing the words, Bergland thanked Pound positively and enthusiastically, and then went outside to greet the puller.
Only the old steward was puzzled. He wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask about the relationship between Pound and Pozzi. He could only bite the bullet and say, "So the house change and the compensation...you see..."
Pound smiled, and didn't make things difficult for the old steward, because he didn't intend to do this in the first place.In addition, Potts, who was relying on at this time, actually had nothing to do with him. Even if the basilisk saved Lance's life that time, but how far the other party would put this kindness, Pound looked at it from a realistic point of view. Didn't expect much.
"Give up the room and get a full refund," Pound followed the rules. "As for the compensation, we can use the information of the Potion Competition instead. From the qualifications, competition types, and scoring regulations, it must be there, okay?" These God, Pound thought about collecting but had no time.
"Then...thank you for your generosity." The old steward gave a complicated expression to Pang De's slight letting go.
He bowed his head, now unable to evaluate whether it was right or wrong to drive these two people away.
***
Before Pound and Funk left the hotel, there was another episode.
The nephew and grand-nephew of the lord of Fangsuo City seemed to wander around the city, and soon led his servants to appear in the lobby of the hotel. There were more than a dozen people in formation, and the team was quite large.One of the servants; a middle-aged male who looked like a close attendant, he asked the old steward who had just communicated with Pound. Although his attitude was not obviously arrogant, he asked in a natural tone, is the room okay? ?
The old steward had no choice but to respond with a nod, and at the same time took a peek at Pound and Funk who were about to leave.After Pound's eyes slid past the "Potion Prodigy" surrounded by many servants, he no longer cared, and then he and Funk went out of the hall to look for Berggrand.
"Potion prodigy" Ferdy Fonso surrounded by servants; he is a thin young man with pale skin, black hair and black eyes, and unhealthy dark circles, but at this moment he turned his head and looked at Pound who was leaving , asked suddenly, "Then who?"
"...Do you mean?" The old steward was inexplicably wary.
"The one who just left, the blond and the northerner," Ferdie said impatiently.
"This... I'm sorry I can't disclose the information of the residents," the old steward said unexpectedly after a pause.
Ferdy looked back at the old steward, and smiled mockingly, "Really?" It seemed to remind the old steward that he didn't have this principle before.
The old steward nodded seriously, "Yes. There is no need, yes."
Fei Di was slightly stunned, and left after asking unsuccessfully.
And he asked this question because he was curious about Pound's astonishing appearance, but he never suspected that Pound and Funk were the two who were driven away by him.
After all, the two of them were still wearing the cloaks they wore when they wandered into the swamp forest, and they were worn out in many places and looked old. They didn't look like travelers who could spend hundreds of gold coins to live in a luxury suite here.
***
Three and ten minutes later, Pound and Funk, who were determined to be poor financially, were sitting in the highest-level reception room in the first-level auction house, counting and collecting the gold coins obtained from the sale of "Fire Vine", a total of 10 gold coins (in After deducting 10800% of the auction fee), it was more than twice the reserve price!
Pound was quite surprised when he was delighted. Bergland explained that most of the medicinal materials were snapped up by potion masters before the potion competition, and "fire vine" is not only a necessary raw material for making fire-type magic pattern ink, but also in terms of attributes. It has the effect of improving the explosive power of potions, and is often used in potion formulas.Now that it was auctioned at a high price, many potion masters who didn't snatch it left letters, asking the seller if they had any others.
Pound couldn't help but wonder, "Can the buyer still ask this question through the auction house?"
Bergeron nodded, "Yes, if we have this kind of information, it doesn't take much effort for us to help convey it, and we will treat it as a customer service. However, we will not disclose any personal information to buyers and sellers without their authorization. "
"But why do they ask for more?" Pound asked secondly, "If there are more, those who bought it at a high price before will lose money."
"Experts have the habit of throwing out a little to test the market conditions first. Especially materials, which also involve seasonal and demand fluctuations, the selling price is not stable," Bergland said with a smile, "and what you want Bidders will be willing to buy, most likely because they don’t want to gamble that there will be a next time, after all, there are only one copy of many precious materials, and they will not grab them when they see them, but no one guarantees that there will be a future.”
When Bergrund said this, Pound felt sure, and took out two more fire vines with confidence; the weight was quite a lot, and sure enough, Bergrund's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Your Excellency, you really have it!? Too much!" Alright!! I think there will be a high demand for such things before the Potion Contest! If you still have more, the more the better.”
Pound didn't want to attract too much attention, and shook his head, "No, this is all I can offer right now. But besides the fire vine, I have another water plant at hand, and I also want to use the auction house to find interested buyers. Home."
After finishing speaking, Pound took out a pot of small blue bell flowers from the ring, which looked extremely delicate.
The beautiful water-colored petals are soft and bright, with a light halo, as smart as dripping water.Full of water elements filled every part of the petals, especially in the center of the bell string, there was a little silver-blue light shining, which was the appearance of the condensed water elements.
Seeing this, Bergland's face changed slightly, and he said seriously,
"If this is the case, I suggest you not to."
Seeing the old steward with a face full of shame, he bent down deeply and explained bravely,
"It's like this. Since the potion competition is about to start, in the middle... Well, anyway, the contestant from Fonso City insisted that he had sent a letter to propose a housing reservation, but we didn't receive it at the moment.
