Chapter 21 Windfall
"How? Brother Green, if you have an idea, I can immediately ask Old Willie to bring something over." The old one-eyed asked eagerly, and the old Willie in his mouth was the friend.
Green nodded without hesitation: "It's best if I can come right away. If I really need it, I will definitely give a fair price."
The old one-eyed laughed, and immediately called a thin young man from outside the store to send out to call someone.
Within half an hour, the thin young man had a sloppy old man with cloudy eyes, a slightly hunched body, and a wine bottle in his hand.
This man has a wrinkled face, and his face is very old. It is completely impossible to see that he was a peak apprentice knight of the Kingdom Knights. Alcohol and illness have almost completely destroyed him.
"Old Willie, my friend, this is Mr. Greene Wilson, a generous and honorable Sir."
Old One-Eyed immediately went up for a hug, winked secretly, and began to introduce Green.
Old Willie had just learned Green's identity from the thin young man, and he was very decent.
This is an old-fashioned marching suitcase. It should have been distributed to the middle and lower ranks of the Knights. Although the quality is quite good, it has not been maintained for many years, and it looks very worn out. The metal locks on it are rusted .
Old Willie would shake his hands uncontrollably because of his drinking all the time. He tried his best to control the opening of the suitcase, and immediately revealed the contents inside. It was full of all kinds of debris, most of which were metal or ceramics. The fragments are large and small, all black and not very conspicuous. I don't know how many times they have been selected and finally left.
Green was not interested in this old alcoholic, nor did he plan to make friends, so he went straight to business and began to check the contents of the suitcase.
There were a total of twenty-four fragments in the box. Green passed them one by one and began to show joy. One-third of these objects contained varying amounts of psionic energy. Moreover, Green can feel that the total amount of psychic energy is not small, far exceeding his expectations, especially a broken metal disc, which should be a part of some kind of large-scale magic item, contains a lot of psychic energy, a little touch with his hand, even Green felt a slight electric shock.
"What a strong spiritual energy! It is many times more than the spiritual energy contained in the wind blade bracelet. This time is really an unexpected surprise." Green was ecstatic in his heart, but he tried his best to remain calm on the surface, and carefully checked everything in the suitcase. , once again looked at old Willy who looked anxious and hopeful: "These things of yours are not bad, I don't know how much you want to sell?"
Old Willie opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer. In his opinion, this tattered box was worthless, but Old One Eye had reminded him in advance that these things were useful to Green, but even if they were useful, he was afraid that the price would be too high to frighten him off. This is the only buyer, so after hesitating for a while, he tentatively said: "Dear Sir, I don't know what the value of these things is to you, but I believe in the personality of a noble, I would still ask you to quote, if you can, I will admit it."
Green secretly said that this old alcoholic is cunning, put a high hat on him first, what kind of aristocratic personality, Green doesn't care, but he can't make the price too low, so that the old one-eyed middleman is too ugly.
Green pondered slightly: "I want these things together with the suitcase, a total of fifty gold pounds, how about it?"
Old Willie's cloudy eyes flashed with excitement, he looked at the old one-eyed again, the two made eye contact and nodded slightly.
In fact, the old one-eyed can see that Green paid this price to give him face, and he has a little more affection for Green in his heart. Of course, it is only a slight affection. Next time he does business, he will not give in even one because of this affection. gold pound.
Half an hour later, Green returned to Wilson Castle in a carriage with a suitcase. On the way, he couldn't wait to open the box and start absorbing psionic energy.
There are a total of eight fragments before and after, which actually enshrined nearly 1,110 psychic powers for Green, especially the broken metal disc, which actually contained 500 psychic powers, accounting for almost half of it! In addition, the total amount of [1095] psionic energy left in the past made Green both excited and entangled. With these psychic abilities, a new building would definitely be opened.
According to the hints in the cemetery and Green's current situation, he has several options: upgrade the town hall; build a magic guild; build a zombie crypt. There are some other buildings to choose from, but it is not very helpful to Green, so he was directly excluded by him, leaving these three options.
But looking at the price again, the upgrade of the secondary town hall requires [2000] psionic energy, which cooled down his original excitement because of the large amount of psionic energy he obtained. Will] and [Zombie Crypt].
If you build a magic guild, you will obviously get new magic, and most likely get the meditation that Grimm desperately needs. The benefits of cultivating zombie crypts are also not inferior. The second-level arm zombie and zombie variant ghoul have a combat power of [6.8] at the beginning, which exceeds that of the upgraded gun skeleton soldier. Soldiers fight together.
He didn’t make up his mind until the carriage returned to Wilson Castle. In fact, he still prefers the latter. Although meditation is important, it’s a long-term process, and building the [Zombie Crypt] can actually improve the existing strength.
Green was about to go back and think slowly, but as soon as he got off the carriage, he saw a manservant running towards him, who seemed to be waiting for him. Seeing him get off the carriage, he ran in a hurry.
Green frowned, watched the footman approach and asked, "What's the matter?"
The valet replied quickly: "A lady came to visit the lord an hour ago, saying that she had made an appointment and brought you something."
"Did you bring something?" Green immediately thought of Elizabeth Fronton, who left in a hurry last time: "Is she here?"
Green's heart moved. If Elizabeth really came to send the meditation method, then he didn't have to worry about it, he just gave up the magic guild and chose to build a zombie crypt.
Since Greene was absent, the visitor was placed in the common reception room of the castle.
Green ordered a valet to move the suitcase he had brought back to the top floor, went to the reception room by himself, coughed lightly, and walked in.
However, it was not Elizabeth Fronton who came unexpectedly, but a mature woman in her early thirties. She was very beautiful, plump and sexy, dressed in the dress of an aristocratic housekeeper, and sat dignified and elegant to meet guests. Waiting quietly inside.
Green was sure that he didn't know this woman, so he couldn't help being secretly vigilant, because just now, the moment he looked at this woman, he felt that this seemingly **** and beautiful woman was quite powerful, at least not in Dr. Wilkins. Underneath, and killing people like numbness, the murderous aura is condensed and truthful.
In the reception room, the old butler Laurens is accompanying him. The other party has a good temperament and is visiting Green. As half the owner of Wilson Castle, the Laurens butler will naturally not be rude. At this time, seeing Green coming back, he got up and said goodbye, and took it to the door, leaving the entire reception room to Green and the two of them.
