Although Bishop Edo's status in the Rydgex City couldn't compare to that of the Zaliah divine system's bishops, but he was definitely a respected bigwig with unfathomable strength.
When such a bigwig publicly announced that a Wizard was going to build a city in the Red Earth Wasteland, it immediately caused a huge sensation.
The Rydgex City's merchant forces immediately went crazy.
The materials needed to build a city were absolutely astronomical.
In particular, in a place as poor as the Red Earth Wasteland, where there was nothing, even transporting drinking water would cost a huge amount of gold coins.
The Rydgex City's merchants, like wolves that smelled meat, scurried around and inquired about information.
Jim couldn't suppress it no matter how hard he tried. He could only sigh helplessly and give up on the idea of monopolizing it.
The merchants in the Rydgex City desperately inquired and paid a huge price. Finally, they found out from Bishop Edo that the Great Wizard Ian would hold an investment fair in the Rydgex Grand Hotel 3 days later.
At present, only some large merchant groups had received invitations.
The small and medium-sized merchants in the Rydgex City began to desperately search for invitations to enter the investment fair.
The large merchant groups sent people to frantically search for invitations in the trash. They regarded the invitations sent by Yang Feng as a scam and threw them into the trash.
3 days later, a luxurious carriage stopped outside the Rydgex Grand Hotel from time to time. Then, a man dressed in luxurious clothing alighted from the luxurious carriage and entered the hotel.
A luxurious carriage stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and Jim's somewhat fat body squeezed out of the carriage.
He alighted from the carriage, glanced at the luxurious carriage parked near the hotel, and sighed in annoyance. As if his parents had died, he had a sullen expression on his face.
"Isn't this our Jim?
What, you're here as well?
Didn't you tell me that this is just a lowly and ugly scam?
I remember that you also said that no fool would go to a place like the Red Earth Wasteland to build a city. "
A middle-aged man with short blue hair and a well-groomed moustache in luxurious clothing walked over. His eyes were filled with anger as he coldly mocked.
It was precisely because of Jim's words that he directly threw the invitation letter that Yang Feng sent to him into the trash. Afterwards, he had no choice but to rummage through the trash to look for it. After spending a lot of effort, he finally found it. Naturally, he was endlessly angry with Jim.
Jim put on a long face and said as if he didn't know anything, "Randy, I also made a mistake.
Who would have thought that someone would really build a city in the middle of nowhere like the Red Earth Wasteland?
If it wasn't for Bishop Edo, I wouldn't have believed that someone would build a city there.
Don't you think so too? "
Randy sneered. "Hehe, I heard that a few days ago, you accompanied a mage to the slave market to shop and earned a fortune.
He even managed to get his hands on some good stuff like Mana Stones.
Are you still saying you don't know? "
Jim said without batting an eyelid, "I'll sell you 50 magic crystals for 800 gold coins each!
Then, let's join forces and give those little guys who are trying to disrupt order a lesson, how about it? "
Randy weighed the pros and cons, and then revealed a smile: "Alright!"
Since it had come to this, there was no point in Randy continuing to pester him.
Jim had already made it up to him.
He didn't mind joining forces with Jim to suppress those small and medium-sized merchant groups.
Once he entered the tavern, Jim saw the leaders of the Rydgex City's merchant groups of all sizes, and his eyebrows couldn't help but sink slightly.
On a dais in the center of the tavern, Yang Feng slowly walked onto the dais. Shortly after, gazes from below focused on him.
Yang Feng said with a slight smile: "I'm very glad that everyone is here.
I'm Ian, the Wizard who's about to build a city in the Red Earth Wasteland! "
Yang Feng said with a faint smile: "To build a city in the Red Earth Wasteland, I need a lot of supplies.
Water, food, weapons, clothes, all kinds of supplies.
I invited you here to make you rich!
I'll set a bottom line here. Each of you must guarantee at least a 40% profit, otherwise, you're not allowed to participate in the bidding! "
Suddenly, a burst of warm applause sounded in the tavern's venue.
The eyes of the leaders of the merchant groups turned red.
It was the first time that they saw a fat sheep being ripped off.
Jim, who originally planned to lower the price and force the leaders of the merchant groups to withdraw, was stimulated by Yang Feng's bait, his whole body heated up and his eyes turned bloodshot.
Yang Feng said with a smile: "However, the thing that the new city lacks the most is population.
I need a lot of slaves, preferably human slaves.
Every month, the merchant group that brings me more human slaves will be able to get a bigger share of the profits.
Of course, I'm also willing to buy those slaves at a high price! "
A leader of a merchant group stood up and said loudly: "Sir Ian, I'm willing to personally gift you 20 female slaves!
Every month, I guarantee to deliver at least 100 human slaves to you. "
Yang Feng said with a beaming smile: "What's your name?"
The leader of the merchant group straightened his body and said loudly: "My name is Sam!"
Yang Feng said with a smile: "What kind of business do you want to do?"
Sam said: "I want to do a clothing business."
Yang Feng said straightforwardly: "Very well, as long as you can supply us, then as long as there's no problem with the quality and it meets our requirements.
Then our clothing will be provided by you in the future. "
Sam said excitedly: "Thank you, Sir!!"
At present, Yang Feng already had hundreds of slaves in his hands. Before long, the number might exceed 1,000. Those slaves plus the clothing of everyone in the new city would definitely be a big deal.
Moreover, the 100 slaves that Sam sold could also earn a huge amount of money from Yang Feng's hands. Going back and forth, Sam would obtain a huge profit.
Yang Feng said: "As a reward, I'll pay you with magic energy stones!"
Sam said excitedly: "Thank you, Sir!!"
"Sir Ian, I'm willing to personally gift you 10 female slaves. Every month, 80 slaves can be shipped to the new city!"
"…"
Below, all of the merchant group leaders became excited and excitedly called out their bids.
Jim and Randy were also forced to join the bidding spree.
Amid the cheers of the leaders of the merchant groups, Yang Feng signed a contract with them under the witness of the God of Contracts' priests.
Once the contract was signed under the witness of the God of Contracts, it would take effect.
If the contract was violated, one would suffer a backlash from divine power.
"He really has the ability to summon clouds and rain with a flip of his hand!"
Jim looked at the leaders of the merchant groups scrambling to sign a contract with Yang Feng and heaved a long sigh. Complicated feelings welled up inside him.
Originally, Jim had planned to use his influence in the Rydgex City to play some tricks and have Yang Feng rely on him more.
It would be best if he could monopolize all the construction materials in the Red Earth Wasteland.
But now, the leaders of the merchant groups were scrambling to serve Yang Feng and sign a contract with him.
This completely shattered his fantasies.
In the back garden of a villa in the Rydgex City.
Baron Gerald held a glass of red wine in his hand. With a gloomy expression, he slowly swirled the glass of wine in his hand.
A handsome man sitting in front of Baron Gerald said with a chuckle: "Gerald, I heard that Master Ian is going to the Red Earth Wasteland to build a city. He's a big fat sheep.
Don't you want to get rid of him and take revenge? "
Gerald said with a cold smile: "Artais, you don't have to provoke me!
He's a Great Wizard, I don't want to be killed by a Great Wizard.
There are a lot of ways to kill people with magic! "
Artais said with a sneer: "That's right. We have no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation with a Great Wizard.
We'll be killed by his strange magic in a single confrontation.
However, although a Great Wizard's magic is formidable, but the number of spell slots he can memorize in a day is limited.
Eight level-2 spells, twenty-four level-1 spells, and 108 level-0 cantrips.
This is the number of spells that a Great Wizard can cast in a day.
As long as that person consumes his spells, he'll be like a toothless tiger, vulnerable to a single blow. "
Gerald pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said: "His spell slots are enough to destroy an army of 100 people. Our private troops will collapse under his spells."
Although Gerald had a lot of private troops under his command, but after a certain number of deaths, his private troops would also collapse.
Although he coveted the wealth of a Great Wizard, but Gerald was still very rational. He knew that a Great Wizard wasn't easy to deal with.
The 2,000 private troops under his command were the family's precious wealth, and they might not be able to kill a Great Wizard.
Artais said in a low voice: "We can spread the news and let the people of the Elven Empire and the Beastman Empire do it."
Gerald's eyes lit up and said: "That's right, he bought that pair of mother and daughter elves. As long as this news is leaked, those long ears will absolutely not let him off.
Moreover, those greedy, filthy, and stupid beast bandits of the Beastman Empire will absolutely not let go of such a fat sheep. "
Artais said meaningfully: "We can hide on the side and observe the situation!
If he wins by then, we can retreat in time.
If he and those guys are mutually injured, we can just kill our way out from the side and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
A Great Wizard's wealth is absolutely comparable to a country!! "
Gerald's eyes flashed with malevolence, his gaze flickered a few times, and he gritted his teeth: "Let's do it!
He actually dares to fight with me over women, I must kill him!
After killing him, that pair of mother and daughter elves will be mine! "
Artais replied straightforwardly: "Alright!"
The two looked at each other and revealed a smile. They clinked their cups and downed it in one gulp.
