As for the military leader of this bidding meeting, it is the Swift Wind Sword Saint Skatz, he himself is an archer, although he is also a Saint Domain powerhouse, but his strength is still a bow and arrow, so it is not so much that he is a Sword Saint as he is accurate in Arrow Saint.
The entire tender meeting was conducted in an eerie atmosphere. Because the Augustus family successfully deceived the Stephen family's bow and arrow manufacturing formula, it had already been leaked out as the two sides fiercely competed for bow and arrow manufacturing materials. Everyone, including the Swift Wind Sword Saint Skatz, clearly knew that today would be a dragon and tiger fight, and from today onwards, the two families would officially break up and embark on the path of mutual hatred.
In fact, for the grudge between the two families, the Wind Sword Saint Skaz knew more, because when he came, the emperor personally called him to face the opportunity, so that he must be impartial in this tender, and it was best to let Augustus and the Stephen family keep the price to the minimum. He began to wonder that it was usually the Stephen family's business, why did the emperor want to mention the Augustus family today? The emperor then told all about this dispute between the two families.
It turned out that since the fat man's wife reported the matter of the 5,000 bows to the emperor according to the old evil teaching, the emperor was angry and urgently ordered the royal spy to investigate. With the efforts of the spies, they quickly found out who was behind the smuggling, and it turned out to be directed at the Augustus family. However, just as the emperor was angry and about to clean up Augustus's house, the empress, who had already noticed something, suddenly appeared. With a three-inch uncorrupted tongue, plus a beautiful **, the matter was finally calmed down.
Of course, there was a price to pay for letting the emperor spare the Augustus family, and that price was those 5,000 bows. Originally, the Augustus family bought the land from that bastard, but now it cheapened the emperor for nothing.
In addition, the Augustus family promised. As long as they can master this technique and participate in the bidding of the military department, it is guaranteed that the price of bows and arrows will be reduced by at least 30%.
When the emperor thought about it, this is a good thing. It was previously a monopoly run by the Stephen family. They say that whatever the offer is, the profit is too big, and they look red-eyed. But if there are more Augustus families to compete now, then the offer of bows and arrows will definitely fall, isn't it equivalent to cheapening yourself?
Under these circumstances, the emperor finally decided to remain silent and no longer pursue the smuggling of the Augustus family.
And in the whole thing, the most satisfying point for the emperor was. The Stephen family obviously suffered losses, but they did not dare to speak up at all, because if they dared to make a big deal out of it, then the first place to be questioned was their idiot child. Therefore, the emperor can enjoy the profits brought by this event with peace of mind. But there is no need to worry about any dissatisfaction from the Stephen family. Such a cheap thing, can he not do it?
So, with the joint efforts of the emperor, Stephen and Augustus, the smuggling case of 5,000 military bows and arrows disappeared silently. The emperor made a lot of money, and although the Augustus family accompanied some money on the surface, they actually earned the bow and arrow formula. It's a bargain. Only the Stephen family. The special match of the big accompaniment, not only the secret method is lost. Having lost the basis of monopoly, even the money for the 5,000 bows was all lost by that idiot, and it was returned to others. And the most depressing thing is that they still dare not speak up, they can't find someone to reason, they can only admit it, it's a loss.
So in this case, as soon as the fat man and Frank, the patriarch of the Augustus family, met, the eyes of both sides couldn't help but burst into fierce sparks.
"Ha, Honorable Duke Stephen, I thought you wouldn't come!" Frank said with a smug face.
"Oh? It's so lively, why shouldn't I come? The fat man sneered: "My respected Duke Augustus! "
"I thought you would be homeschooling your children now!" Frank laughed and mocked.
"Haha!" The fat man smiled angrily: "It's okay if the child is wrong, just say a few words, I'm a big person." But it's you, it's very confusing for me to be here! "
"Well? What's strange about my coming here? Frank immediately asked puzzled.
"I thought you would take care of your son at home with his broken leg!" The fat man sneered contemptuously: "But then again, I really admire the courage of your Augustus family, and you don't even put the sword saint in your eyes, it's just too kind!" "
"When you Frank heard this, his face turned green with anger. The fat man obviously cursed and exposed the short, and suddenly stabbed the deepest scar in his heart, can he not be angry? If it weren't for the public, he might have directly gone over and beat the fat man.
"Okay, okay, two, two!" Seeing this, the Swift Wind Sword Saint Skaz hurriedly came over to dissuade him: "Don't hurt your harmony, everyone!" "
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to deal with such tasteless people!" Frank snorted coldly, and then walked in breathlessly.
"Only thieves are the most tasteless!" The fat man chased after him and scolded.
Frank knew that he was at a loss this time, did not reply, pretended not to hear, but sneered in his heart: You are arrogant, wait a while, I let you cry can't cry!
"Okay, okay, Duke Stephen, you also dissipate. Hurry up and get inside! Wind Sword Saint Skaz hurriedly took his hand.
"Alas! All right! The fat man sighed depressedly, and then followed the Wind Sword Saint Skaz inside, and said with a helpless bitter smile: "The family is unfortunate, and it was calculated by that bastard." It's made me a little gaffe, make you laugh! "
"Hehe, don't you dare!" What else can Swift Sword Saint Skaz say? Although he was also a duke, and even a sword saint, it was all because of his strength. As for himself, he used to be just a poor boy in the countryside, and he had no roots in the upper class at all. Therefore, even if he has a certain status now, he still does not dare to offend these old nobles, and can only laugh and pretend to be stupid, but he does not dare to make any comments.
The fat man also knew his difficulties and did not think so. Instead, he enthusiastically began to introduce him to the old evil. The old evil was originally unwilling to make such an entertainment, but looking at the good strength of the Swift Wind Sword Saint Skatz, he still reluctantly said hello. The Wind Sword Saint Skaz naturally saw the reluctance of the old evil, but he didn't say anything, but praised the old evil and showed the hypocrisy of a nobleman to the fullest. He did not know that although this contrived work was useful to others, it could only backfire in the face of the old evil, and he had already been despised to death in the heart of the old evil.
Without further ado, in a luxurious large private room, everyone sat down on the left and right. Frank and Fat were naturally separated, so as not to fight them.
The Wind Sword Saint Skaz sat in the middle, first according to the previous experience, said some clichés, but he was very interesting, did not talk at length, but quickly ended, and then directly to the topic, this kind of practice with a practical taste, but somewhat made the old evil have a good impression of him.
At the beginning, the bidding was a few small bids, which were nothing more than bows and arrows needed by the garrison forces in a certain area, the number was generally only a few thousand, and the samples of bows and arrows they took out were not drops, they looked like ordinary goods, but the victory was cheap, and the power could threaten ordinary people without any protection, and it was enough to maintain local security.
These are all appetizers, not very eye-catching, it seems that everyone also knows that there will be a wonderful business war behind, so they unconsciously speed up, and it is all finished in a short time.
Finally, the last item came, that is, the bow and arrow procurement of the regular army of the kingdom. This was a big business of hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and everyone present widened their eyes to see how the two great families competed.
Wind Sword Saint Skaz first smiled: "The last item is below, I don't know, who is willing to take this mark?" His words were not addressed to the fat man and Frank, but to those who had bidd. As a duke, the fat man is only here to supervise today, and will not directly participate in the bidding, then it will be too cheap, naturally there are managers below who will be responsible for this matter.
But after the Wind Sword Saint Skaz asked, he was treated coldly, and he waited for a while, but no one answered him. It turned out that the fat man and Frank were closing their eyes, no one gave a signal to their subordinates, and without their nods, of course, the managers did not dare to speak.
Wind Sword Saint Skazi didn't expect such a thing, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked again: "Everyone, please don't delay everyone's time, okay?" "
But after waiting for a while, no one still paid attention to him, and the Swift Wind Sword Saint Skaz couldn't help but say with displeasure, "If you don't hurry up, then I can only announce the flow mark!" "
Finally, after hearing these words, Frank could not sit still. No way, who called him more urgent than the fat man, you know, he now eats a stomach of bow and arrow materials, almost all piled up, occupying a lot of the family's funds, if he can't recruit the bid this time, then he must not die?
