"From now on, you'll be my sister. This is Landis's keepsake. If anything happens, just say my name, and I, as your sister-in-law, will definitely stand up for you!"
A conch shell, a bright red one, the same color as Charlotte's hair.
Qin Yiyi now has tokens from three cities in her hands, and then Titan hands her a small black iron hammer.
Qin Yiyi used a silver chain to attach the tokens from the four cities (which had been shrunk) to her neck, which formed a necklace, a token, a small hammer, a feather, and a conch shell.
I must say, it really does feel like Pandora's box.
It's very beautiful.
Having this item grants you tax-free entry into the four major cities, direct access to the best hotels, discounted shopping, city guard protection, and various special privileges.
It has to be said that this is the passport to VVVIP status.
However, Qin Yiyi's territory is still in its early stages and has not yet been marked with such a territory symbol, so she has no way to exchange tokens with the other four major cities.
so....
She took out the four extra boxes of zero-pollution amplification food and gave them directly to the four dukes.
"I came in a hurry and did not bring any other gifts. Please do not find this too offensive, dukes."
"Who would complain about food with zero pollution and such a high amplification? This box is worth tens of thousands of gold coins. Even for a duke like us, it's a valuable gift!"
Qin Yiyi quickly established a close relationship with the four dukes. Three of them were related by blood, and none of them gave way to the others. Only Duke Eternal was left beating his chest in regret, lamenting his carelessness. He had let these three get there first on his own turf!
But he could only drag his fragile body forward and try to squeeze his way in, but he couldn't possibly outrun Titan, that massive guy!

In the Eternal City, at Eternal Square, tiny flower fairies, each the size of a palm, flew through the air adorning the square with colorful ribbons. The auction was scheduled for the evening, when the night sky was dotted with stars. The flower fairies handed each audience member a token as they entered. The hall was divided into various seating arrangements, with the minimum fee to enter being 10 gold or more. Those who paid the minimum fee sat at the very edge of the hall.
Those who paid to enter earlier were all in positions costing over a thousand gold coins.
The Eternal Duke pointed to the very center position.
"See that? That's the position of the Flame Prince. The four of us have reached an agreement with you this time not to bid, but to make a private deal. We've already arranged for people to control the price of the Flame Duke's auction, as you requested."
Price control wasn't just the work of those four people; other people were also involved, scattered across various seats.
"Look at this information about the Flame Duke. He's a very lucrative man. Even an astronomical auction price wouldn't be enough to cripple him!"
Qin Yiyi took the documents, which contained information about the Flame Duke's most recently publicly disclosed assets.
"Of course I didn't expect an auction to cripple him. By the way, he came alone this time, didn't he?"
The Eternal Duke was taken aback.
"That's true. He came alone, and the old butler who had been with him for many years was left at home to take care of his youngest son. Does that mean he loves his youngest son very much, or does he not trust his eldest son?"
