Looking at the president's majestic figure, André smiled and muttered to himself, "Thank you for your advice, but I believe that even the most evil person has a good side, even if she has a part of the demon bloodline.
What's more, I also need to start cultivating my own forces. A Tafflin with outstanding combat power is a rare talent. "
As soon as his voice fell, Knight Aizt waved a parchment full of numbers and shouted, "Mr. Mage!
Two-thirds of the goods on the ship have been confirmed as lost, and the other one-third may need to be auctioned in the market. You'd better come over. "
"Coming!"
André replied loudly, hurriedly walked closer, and said in a half-joking tone, "Skip all the messy processes and just tell me how much money I can get."
"Hahahaha!
I like your straightforwardness.
The part that has been redeemed is a total of 24650 gold coins, and there is also a batch of silverware and textiles that no one has claimed. The specific price is difficult to estimate, and we will only know after tomorrow's auction.
I have to congratulate you in advance for making a fortune. Of course, you will have to deduct 20% trade tax in the end. "After saying that, Knight Aizt's face showed an extremely envious expression.
Although as a feudal knight, he had a beautiful manor and a rather generous salary, but it was still far from a mage's, not to mention a sum of tens of thousands of gold coins.
The corner of Andre's mouth twitched when he heard that he would have to pay a 20% tax. He cursed the person who set the business tax for his son to have no asshole. Then, he spread his hands helplessly. "Knight, you only see the income. You don't see how much danger I've taken."
Aizt took a deep breath and sighed, "Indeed, the pirates of the Sardinia Islands are all tough bones.
I heard from the people on the warship that many people died in the sea battle half a year ago. Blood and corpses dyed the sea red, and the cries of the dead souls can still be heard in the sea area where the battle took place. "
"There is a price to pay for any victory. If Lincoln City wants to maintain its maritime advantage, it must fight against the pirates. Otherwise, the merchants will not be willing to pay taxes.
By the way, I have a suggestion. Do you want to consider it? "
"What is it? Let's hear it." Aide's eyes lit up as he asked softly.
André smiled and pointed at the remaining boxes. "It's simple. I want you to help me sell the remaining goods at a high price.
Starting from 50% of the market price, every time you raise the price by 10%, you will get 1% of the total. What do you think? "
Obviously, he was tempting the other party with benefits so that he could sell the remaining goods at a good price.
After all, silverware and textiles were relatively expensive goods. Every 10% increase in price could earn him a lot of money. It was totally worth it to pay a part of the commission.
Hearing that there were benefits to be had, Knight Aizit's face lit up with excitement. "No problem!
Leave it to me!
After deducting the taxes, I will send the payment to your residence within two days. "
No one would reject such a windfall. Moreover, it did not violate any laws. It was just a matter of convenience. As long as one was not a fool, they would know what to do.
Seeing that the other party had been tempted by the benefits, André laughed in his heart. Sure enough, it was easy to get things done with money. He then pretended to yawn and said, "Then I'll leave it to you. I'm so tired now. I have to rush back to eat something, take a bath, and sleep.
Is there a problem with leaving the ship here for now? "
"Of course, but you'd better find an experienced captain to make it run. It would be a great waste for such a great ship to be left here."
"Thank you for your suggestion. I will consider it.
Goodbye! "After saying that, André waved his hand lightly and walked straight into the city.
He had not eaten for a few hours, and his magic pet Little Eyes needed to be properly rewarded.
Linton City was a large city that could accommodate more than 100,000 people. André walked for more than an hour from the port, and finally returned to his residence when the sun was about to set.
When he passed by the temple, he asked the mature beauty who had treated him last time to cast a level-four divine spell, "Neutralize Toxins". Finally, the black muscles on the back of his hand were cleaned up, but the price was that he owed a total of 800 gold coins.
Fortunately, the story of the elimination of the pirates had spread, so the priests of the Goddess of Dawn, Lucia, did not make things too difficult for him. They only asked him to pay the debt as soon as possible. If he really could not pay it back, it did not matter. He could help the temple complete a task as compensation.
It had to be said that it was no wonder that the priests here were so popular in the city. The beautiful female priests were one thing, and the amiable attitude was another. They would hold several free healing activities for the poor almost every month, so they had won over a large number of believers. Coupled with the positive teachings of the goddess, it was easy for them to be accepted by the people.
Dragging his hungry stomach, André knocked on the door and shouted, "Elsa!
Beverly!
Open the door!
I'm starving to death! "
After a short few seconds, the young widow hurriedly opened the door. Man Liang shouted in surprise, "Oh!
Oh my god!
You're finally back safe and sound!
Go and see the lady with the horns on her head and a tail behind her. She seems to be dying! "
"What?!
Take me to see her! "
As soon as he heard that Tavelyn's life was in danger, André did not care about anything else and rushed into the house. Soon, he saw the half-demon on the sofa in the living room.
At this moment, she seemed to be nearing the end of her life. Not only was her skin a sickly dark red, but her pupils were also showing signs of dilation. She was like an old woman with one foot in the grave, and could take her last breath at any moment.
When the little girl saw her mentor appear, she immediately stood up and asked worriedly, "This auntie just vomited a lot of blood … She … She won't die, right?"
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, she won't die."
André gently touched the girl's head and hurriedly squatted down to check on Tavelyn's condition. After a few minutes, he found that Tavelyn had overdrawn too much of her life force, causing her organs to fail. Even if he sent her to the temple, it would be useless.
Just when he was at his wit's end, the half-demon suddenly opened her eyes and growled in an extremely weak voice, "Blood … Give me your blood … Only blood full of magic can let me live … Please … Give me your blood …"
