The aroma of black tea spreads in the luxuriously decorated room, but it does not change the cold atmosphere inside.

"Mr. Clater, I cannot agree to your conditions."

The middle-aged man put down the teacup and refused with a firm expression.

"The situation in the mine is very stable now. We think that it is very unreasonable to raise prices significantly at this time. As a member of the association, of course I have to consider the interests of the association, but in this regard, I really have no way to help. I hope you can understand."

"Please don't be so excited, Mr. Keller."

Sitting on the soft sofa, the man in a wide and gorgeous robe showed a cold smile.

"The increase in ore prices by 30% was the unanimous approval of the association. As a member of the association, you must abide by it."

"But this is not normal!"

Keller frowned.

"There is no shortage of ore now, and it is difficult to have such a problem in the future. We raise prices without authorization, but it is not possible to give a good reason. And you, Mr. Clater, until now, I have not been able to get a good reason. You cannot make me nod and agree with just one association decision. At least, I hope to know the reason for making this decision. Moreover, if you let the Golden City know about the price without authorization......"

"That woman knows that she can't do anything to us."

When the Golden City was mentioned, Clater's face immediately became gloomy.

"Mr. Keller, as the vice president of the association, I personally recruit you to the association for this matter because you hold 85% of the mining industry in Deep Rock City, but I hope you can understand that the industries you control are actually nothing for the entire Parfield region."

"Anyway, if you don't give a reasonable explanation, it's hard for me to accept the association's proposal."

Keller stood up.

"If that's all, then I'm sorry, I don't think we need to continue talking."

After saying this, Keller nodded and turned around and wanted to leave.

"Please wait, Mr. Keller."

And at this moment, Clater's face also darkened.

"Since you don't agree with the association's request, I can't do anything. In fact, I don't want to do this, but... to this point, you can't blame me for not giving face..."

"What do you want to do?"

Keller's face turned solemn when he heard this.

"If you refuse the association's opinion, the association has to take back all the mines under your command to ensure that they can operate normally and stably."

"The association does not have this power!"

Keller slapped the table with a heavy palm.

"The mine in Deep Rock City is the property of our Keller family and has nothing to do with the association. Do you still want to rob it clearly?!"

"Of course we won't rob it openly."

Clater narrowed his small eyes and showed a smug smile on his face.

"The association will pay for the mines under the Keller family, with 5,000 gold coins... What do you think of the price?"

Five thousand?

Keller almost fainted when he heard this. The Keller family had four mines in their hands, and the total income was about hundreds of thousands. These bastards wanted to buy all the mines with 5,000 gold coins? Don't even think about buying a mine! Are they lame or have other plans?

As the patriarch of a family, Keller naturally would not think that the association is all fools. He was silent for a moment, and then looked at the vice president of the association with a hint of doubt. Keller is not a fool. He is smart-minded. In fact, when he was summoned to the association's headquarters this time, Keller himself felt something was wrong. Recently, the ore market has been very stable, and there was no turbulence in the surrounding countries. Suddenly, he asked all ore industries to raise the price by 30%. This is definitely not a trivial matter. As a business family who has been working hard in the storm for so many years, Keller is very clear about what kind of turbulence will the sudden price increase bring to the entire surrounding market, not to mention the important commodity of ore.

If someone else said this, Keller would definitely be a joke. He was sure that if the lady from Golden City knew about this, all the merchants would be in trouble. The lady was not a kind-hearted person. Everyone had their own way of dying, but it would definitely be the kind of person who died the most in her hands.

But now, the Merchant Association is actually going to raise prices? Are they brave enough to be ambitious? Do you really think that lady is not responsible for the public?

Thinking of this, Keller felt a chill on his back. He immediately remembered the massacre that caused a sensation in the entire principality five years ago. Just because the nobles united to oppose his proposal, the lady killed nearly one-third of the nobles in the entire principality. Her ruthless and strong will made Keller, a businessman who wanted money but not life, was even more terrifying. What was even more terrifying was that doing such a thing would definitely cause turmoil in the entire country, but what everyone did not expect was that after only two months of the massacre, everything was on track again.

This is what businessmen like Keller fear the most. They are not afraid of meeting those tyrannical kings. After all, even if the impulsive fools try to have a moment of pleasure, the one who is in the end is their own stupid impulse. But this lady is different. She obviously has prepared for a long time and is not afraid of encountering any problems.

Now the Merchant Association really thinks it is powerful and wants to cause trouble for that lady?

Do they really think that the lady would not have another massacre like she did five years ago and then find some people to reorganize the Chamber of Commerce?

Where did these guys get the courage of the bear heart and leopard?

Keller felt that things were getting more and more abnormal. He stared at Clayter but didn't say anything.

Clater smiled, then stood up.

"I hope Mr. Keller will think about it carefully after he returns home. I think you will have other ideas."

If there is a problem, there must be a problem!

Facing Clayter's words, Keller was silent for a moment, and then he decided to turn around and leave, return to the family first, and then use all his strength to investigate what happened, and it is not too late to reply. But where did this guy get such great confidence? Is he really sure, or is he bluffing, or has any trump card?

Keller made up his mind and then said goodbye to leave, and just as he reached the door, Clater's voice sounded again behind him.

"I heard that your daughter is very cute. I always hope to meet her. Please don't be surprised."

Keller reached out to the door and suddenly froze.

The moon is on the branches.

Under the dark night, the carriage was quietly parked on the side of the road. Two dim oil lamps hanging in front of the carriage vaguely illuminated the surrounding plants. Although the night was a little dark, even within the range of the Dragon Soul of Light, there were dazzling light bands in the night. They condensed and emitted soft light, which shone with the bright moon in the sky, and it was not considered dark. Outside the carriage, the three guards following Helen had spontaneously started the night watch work. The coachman was wearing a blanket of animal skin, lying next to the fire beside the carriage, making waves of sounds from time to time.

At this moment, the three people except Rhodes were ready to rest. Mess was very adaptable to life in the carriage, rolled up a blanket and fell asleep. Lijie was still as mercenary as ever, leaning against the edge of the carriage, closing her eyes slightly, and not curling up like the other two. After all, if she encounters any unexpected situation, as a spirit master, she must react as soon as possible.

Helen was tired after chatting all day, and now she leaned on the other side, lowering her head and closing her eyes while watching her sleep was also a matter of time.

Rhodes did not sleep. On the contrary, he was secretly sorting out his attributes. He was too hasty before and didn't have time to do these things. Now that he finally had free time, Rhodes began to sort out his attribute values. After all, this was very necessary for him, and in the previous battle, Rhodes had also realized that although this body was his own, the abilities contained in it were definitely completely different from his previous self. You must know that in reality, he could not do any quick dodging and resisting actions.

First of all, there is power. Through these days of battles, Rhodes found that his power was higher than that of ordinary people in this world. According to the settings of the Dragon Soul Continent, the NPC power in this world is generally around 4 to 5. This numerical power can be considered strong among ordinary people. If you go up to 6 to 8, you can pick up a heavy two-handed sword with one hand. This can be considered a monster. Rhodes' power is also between 6 to 8. Although he has not tried it with a two-handed sword, it should not be a problem from the previous battles.

As for physique, Rhodes is the least worried about. The body of ordinary people is 5~7, the elves are slightly lower, 4~6, and the highest is dwarfs and orcs, 7~9 and 7~10 respectively. Most of the specifications of angels and demons are between 15~20. Considering the degree of injury and the feeling of fighting along the way, Rhodes inferred that his physique should be between 10~15. This is no longer a physique that humans should have. After all, they can still jump alive by being pounced by a claw of the void dragon. This is very abnormal no matter how you look at it.

As for agility, his speed is faster than ordinary people, but he has not reached the level of an elves. Considering that the speed of an elves is the highest attribute of 10~15 on the continent, then Rhodes' speed should be based on the 5~6 of an ordinary person.

Will was originally the most difficult attribute to judge, but after fighting with Shadow, Rhodes also had a reference basis. Recalling the resistance requirements for Shadow Spirit Attack in the game materials, Rhodes' will attribute should be considered a narrow victory, just crossing the standard line between 8 and 9. This is higher than that of ordinary people, but similar to ordinary warriors with firm will, and may also be lower than those powerful NPCs. However, considering that the attributes will increase when upgraded in the future, Rhodes doesn't have to worry so much.

As for the sensing attributes, the only difference is that it is different from the game. In the game, the improvement of sensing attributes is not only to enhance the player's hearing to a certain extent, but also to mark those dangerous existences in front of you into red dots, and at the same time to prompt them at the bottom of the screen. However, in reality, the sensing attributes have completely changed. After Rhode closed his eyes, he even "sees" everything around him, as if he had a pair of invisible black and white infrared cameras that could manipulate distances at will and zoom in and out, staring at the world. In this regard, his sensing is far higher than the standard of 3 to 4 for ordinary humans, but is significantly smaller than the standard of 9 to 10 for the elves. If the silver wolf was calculated according to the exclusion method, it would be at about 6 to 7.

In this way, Rhodes' attributes probably appeared in his heart.

Strength: 6~8.

Physical constitution: 10~15

Dexterity: 7~10

Will: 8~9

Sensing: 6~7

Overall, all attributes are higher than the default attributes of the original human character. Rhode asked himself that even if he took out the character in the game, he probably wouldn't have such good initial attributes at level 10, because the attributes are the same as talent, and they will only awaken after level 10, and then they will start to grow with the level. For Rhode, who is known as the online game library, he is almost clear about what race and profession are and what attributes are.

After sorting out the attributes, Rhodes found that his attributes generally surpassed humans, but in each single attribute, he was slightly lower than other races. What puzzled Rhodes even more was that even if he sorted out the attributes, he could not figure out what blood was mixed in his body. Generally speaking, mixed races always inherit other general outstanding attributes. For example, for Lijie, her other attributes may be similar to humans, but they must be the level of angels in terms of will, dexterity, and soul power. But now his improvement is too average. Except for his slightly exaggerated physique, any other characteristics are obviously beyond humans but have not reached the initial attribute level of other races. What surprised Rhodes even more was that this was the attribute before awakening. If his bloodline really awakens, these attributes will rise by at least half.

There is no such monster race in this world. If there is one, the players would have already snatched it?

Rhodes have many doubts, such as the blood-sucking species at night, especially during the full moon, which is quite perverted, not to mention the specifications of demons and angels. However, they all have their own limitations. If they have the bloodline of these races, there should be ups and downs and changes under the influence of the environment and day and night, but their attributes are very stable and have no ups and downs.

What kind of blood is this?

Rhode thought for a while but still couldn't get the answer, so he had to shake his head helplessly. In any case, this bloodline is very stable and there will be no ups and downs. Otherwise, if he is a half-angel or a half-demon, if he goes to the wrong territory and causes his attribute to drop by half, he will have no place to cry.

Thinking of this, Rhode closed his eyes and planned to rest, but he had just closed his eyes but his expression moved.

"rustle!"

The faint sound from the grass, mixed with the night wind, reached his ears.
