Which family are you from?" Salin changed the topic. WWw.qUAnbEn-xIaosHuo.COm He doesn't have Rechuan, and he really doesn't need prisoners. This woman suddenly appeared at the harbor with more than a hundred people. Even if she wasn't targeting herself, she was There will be her secrets. That's a benefit of having them handy.
Salin never thought of helping this woman for free. From the magician's point of view, everything had to be paid for.
The woman hesitated for a moment, did not answer, and looked at Salin stubbornly. Saleen chuckled, took a cup of tea from Nailis's hand, and drank it slowly. After being with Rex for a long time, some habits gradually formed. His behavior was not imitated, but formed naturally.
Those in positions of power don't actually consider what the people below them think. They naturally do what they like to judge the situation. In fact, it has nothing to do with anyone else.
The woman's aura was taken away by Salin. Knowing that this mage would not give her any preferential treatment, she had no choice but to put down her posture and said: "My name is, Elaine Williams."
"Oh?" Saleen suddenly became interested in this woman. She turned out to be from the Williams family. However, her name is obviously in the style of Yunliu. The Qin Yin people would not let a woman be called this name. It sounds a bit undignified, especially to the nobles. Salin himself was not a nobleman and had not studied the family genealogy specifically, but he also knew that this woman must be a descendant of the marriage between the Williams family and a certain Yunliu family.
Although the Williams family is powerful, the highest title is only earl. If Elaine can obtain the title herself, she may have considerable influence in the family.
Salin knew that Qin Yin's title was difficult to obtain, and even if it was a title that could not be inherited, His Majesty the Emperor would rarely grant it to anyone. The upper and lower chambers check each other and always try their best to reduce the number of titles controlled by the other party, which makes the titles very popular in Qin Dynasty.
"The Williams family is considered powerful. Why would you let a delicate person like you come to the north to suffer?" Salin said slowly, directly asking the core of the problem. What is she here for
"This is a family matter. Forgive me for not being able to answer. Elaine is ready to risk her life now. She doesn't believe that this young mage will really kill her. After all, she is also a member of a big family, and she will get more benefits from helping her. .
"If the Williams family wants to travel to the north often, I advise you to tell me, so as not to cut off their financial resources in the future. I am a magician and a businessman. All I know now is that you must have found something in the north. What benefit? If I don’t know what benefit it is, I will cut off the northern route and no one will make any money. Do you understand?”
Salin was in a strong position now and did not want to talk to this noblewoman, and he was too lazy to use any conversation skills. After this city is established, he will definitely learn from Alchemy City's methods and control the northern route. The northern route is very deserted. Only in less than half a year, there will be businessmen from Skochina traveling to and from Lianyung City.
The current season is obviously not a good time for sailing. This Elaine appears at this time, and she is definitely not traveling. Salin wanted to know what benefits there were on the sea at this northern season that would allow an important member of the Williams family to venture there in person.
"You have to be reasonable!" Elaine turned pale and said angrily. She didn't expect such a noble-looking mage. The words are so appropriate.
"I have been very reasonable. Now that I am building a city here, I have royal authorization and can control hundreds of miles of sea area around here. I don't care how you came here in the past. If you want to pass here in the future, you have to ask me if I agree. Now your ship is gone. Your men are freezing to death. Do you want to get my help without giving anything?"
Elaine was furious. What the young mage said made sense, but his attitude was a bit condescending, which was hard for her to accept, as she had never been angry since she was a child.
"Wouldn't you like to gain the friendship of the Williams family?"
"How can there be friendship in business? Maybe we can be friends, but it has nothing to do with your family. I have always had this attitude." Salin answered with a smile, and what he said was also true. For example, with Clyde In the business between families, he can give benefits to Aini, but not to Aini's family. There is a difference.
"Who is your friend?" Elaine thought Salin was teasing her, and she became even more angrier.
"Look, you are rejecting the friendship of a great magician, but you are blaming me for not wanting to gain the favor of the Williams family. Aren't we doing the same thing?" Sari said patiently. He built a city here, If you only rely on farming, there will definitely be no income. It will be good if you can support the surrounding immigrants. If you want to develop, you must be like Alchemy City. Do business, do a unique business.
At the beginning, he could rely on the magicians on Sreig Island, but magicians could not solve everything like business. He also needed help from the families in the empire who were good at business.
This Elaine is weak in strength and seems to be only at the level of a high-level swordsman. Her status in the family should not be low. Salin wanted to cooperate with her in some way. He could not give all the benefits of the city to the Clyde family.
The Clyde family and the Williams family are competing in business." Both families come to settle in. This is what Salin wants to see.
"Master Mage, can you let my people go ashore first? They"
Although Elaine is well-educated and may not be as good as Salin when it comes to business, her people are now teetering on the edge of life and death. The family's merchant ship sank, and many people had died. If the rest also died, her parents would be affected. In this situation, no matter how smart she is, she can't defeat Salin.
"My name is Salin, Salin Metatlin."
"Is it you?" Elaine's eyes widened in surprise, as if she had heard Salin's name before.
Salin touched his face, looked at Elaine in surprise, and asked, "What? Am I famous?"
"More than two years ago. I heard about you when I was in the imperial capital. You are in charge of the business of Princess Rex and the Clyde family. Of course I know that."
Salin smiled and did not answer. Elaine said helplessly: "Since I am Master Salin, Xiang will not lie to me.
You let my people go ashore first. I can't escape here. Whatever you want, we can talk about it. "
"So. The Williams family does have long-term business in the north?"
"yes "
"Okay, Nailis. Go and ask them to arrange for Elaine's people to go ashore and give them some tents. Prepare some food."
Elaine saw the beautiful woman next to Salin stand up and walk past her. She didn't know why. The mind is shaken. Nelisse looked extremely charming. Her head now also has a hint of green, and her green eyes are like the lake water in early spring, as if there are waves rippling.
Elaine tried to calm down her heart, thinking, with such a beautiful woman beside Salin, he probably wouldn't have any thoughts about her, right? I heard that Princess Rex was a beauty. No wonder he looked at me like a businessman looking at goods, without the fiery gaze that he was used to.
Salin was also studying Elaine. Elaine wore men's clothes, which made her look more heroic and less charming. She has a pair of blue eyes, not the dark blue common among Qin Yin people, but light like a few Yunliu people. Her eyebrows were trimmed, somewhat similar to Sikka's, clear as a knife. Elaine's nose is also taller and straighter than most Qin Yin women, and it still looks good when she is pretending to be a man.
She is a beauty. Saleen thought.
Feeling the change in Salin's eyes, Elaine felt much more comfortable. Salin's original eyes were emotionless. It made her very uncomfortable. It was like the feeling of going deep into the wilderness, encountering a powerful demonic wolf, and being stared at by the demonic wolf. The demon wolf wasn't hungry, so it didn't attack him. But those eyes were clearly analyzing him. Where can I put my mouth down
Humans look at humans, and Warcraft looks at humans, which are completely different. This mage named Salin is very dangerous. From Salin, Elaine felt an uncontrollable power.
Salin himself did not feel that after becoming a fifth-level magician, he had loosened his control over the elements. He didn't know that for a long time. Surviving in danger caused complex changes in his temperament. This is pretty good for Elaine. After all, she is someone who has seen the world and has relatively strong inner qualities. If ordinary people were to look at him like that, they would not even dare to raise their heads.
So when he said he didn't need prisoners, Elaine didn't think he was joking, but took it seriously. In Elaine's mind, Salin has been positioned as a rather perverted magician.
Now there was a hint of appreciation in Salin's eyes, and Elaine was keenly aware of it and felt relieved.
Salin was also very satisfied with his method. With just a few simple words, he broke Elaine's hard shell. Now it’s time to talk about the Williams family business. With three battleships and enough sailors on hand, he is already qualified to join the business.
He is not afraid that the Williams family will not agree. After all, the Williams family cannot own warships. If they want to continue doing business in the north, they must cooperate with him. Businessmen are relatively easy to get along with in Salin's heart. As long as he leaves enough profits for the Williams family, he can get a share of the pie.
"Now you can say, what business is the Williams family doing in the north?"
Elaine did not hesitate this time. She saw that the power Salin had here was equivalent to the combined power of more than two cities in the family. She didn't know yet that Salin already had three battleships, two of which would be back next spring at most. There is also an island tucked away nearby.
"In the north of the continent of Mels, there is a frozen sea. There are huge icebergs drifting there all year round, and ordinary ships cannot sail at all. That sea area is extremely huge, and there are many sea crows. It is said that there is all the ice and snow further north. Covering the continent. The frozen sea is the most ideal place for hunting monsters in the sea. There are often large monsters on the floating icebergs. They move slowly on the continent. As long as you have a whale hunting crossbow, you can harvest huge harvests."
Salin smiled, "Just like this, it's not worth taking the risk yourself, right?"
