"So weren't we talking about trade at the beginning? Although I have never been involved in anything like this in my life, it seems that the minds of businessmen should not be underestimated."
"The pillars of the empire are magic and economy. Although we magicians provide the foundation for the empire's strength, it is the prosperous economy brought about by the trade of many merchants that has truly enabled the empire to develop to its current level."
"Yes, it's amazing that those merchants had the courage to trade with dwarves, elves, and even dragons. The first merchant who opened up the trade route must have been a madman."
"It's quite crazy, but it's not just them. The fact that our human empire was able to take root in this land and develop to this day was simply a crazy gamble. Fortunately, we won the gamble."
"Yeah, luckily we won."
"… "
The magicians smiled from time to time as they communicated with each other.
Although none of them had ever been exposed to trade, and none of them had ever been involved in business, this did not prevent them from understanding the story, nor did it prevent them from communicating about the development of the human empire.
In fact, powerful magicians have always been an indispensable force for the development of the human empire to this day. Not only the initial Patriotic War, but also all the subsequent development of the empire, including various ocean trades, were supported by magic.
If humans did not have the largest number of great sages, how could elves, dwarves, and dragons take the initiative to trade fairly with weak humans
It's like the familiar saying - knowledge is power, and magic is power itself.
This is the truest portrayal of this world.
Of course, in addition to this idea, many magicians can't help but recall the outrageous subject of magic alchemy because of the many complicated settings in the movie.
These days, many magicians have been losing weight due to the sudden increase in learning the basics of magical alchemy. The more they think about this mess, the more they hate Durin, who invented magical alchemy.
However, the fun of the movie itself makes it impossible for them to really hate magical alchemy. After all, the movie is based on the birth of magical alchemy.
For a moment, the magicians could only continue watching the movie in front of them with painful expressions of love and hate.
…
Orc Empire.
Compared to the familiarity with trade and the pride in the current development of the empire shown by humans when watching the movie "Spice and Wolf", the orcs were relatively confused when watching the movie.
It's not just that they are unable to understand many of the business terms, they are also unable to understand the extent to which the economy, as a force, can reach.
Especially when the movie talks about the relationship between currency and the country, and currency represents the comprehensive strength of a country, the orcs are even more confused.
Does the shiny currency really have such a terrifying power
Of course, no matter whether they can understand it or not, the plot of the movie has completely immersed them in it. Although many things in it are incomprehensible, just seeing the story described in the movie has made them very interested.
…
Luda Salzburg, at the two countries' conference.
As time goes by, this generation of leaders of both countries are no longer the leaders of the last war era.
Although King Hubbard and General Wilhelm participated in the war, they did not actually participate in the decision-making of the war.
The Beast King was a 'young man' who had grown up after the war, and all he knew about the war was what others had said about it.
Therefore, the attitudes of both sides were very peaceful.
King Hubbard and the Beast King had a friendly exchange about the plot of the film, and the former patiently answered many of the Beast King's questions about trade and economics.
His tolerant and kind attitude made the Beast King sigh with emotion several times, and he was glad that the king of the human empire was a wise ruler.
Of course, the concept of currency is too complicated to be explained in a few words, so King Hubbard immediately said:
"The Human Empire is now opening a comprehensive college for all citizens to teach the public a variety of subjects such as politics, economy, and culture. If the Orc Kingdom wishes in the future, perhaps a small number of capable orcs can be selected to serve as international students in the Human Kingdom's comprehensive college."
"An international student?"
After hearing King Hubbard's words, the Beast King was silent for a moment.
She was able to realize the side effects behind this choice. After all, sending her country's talents to study in other countries is bound to cause serious brain drain.
However, the Orc Kingdom is now a backward country, so even if this choice has side effects, it will have to make this choice in the end.
After all, development always comes at a price. Today's Orc Kingdom is far inferior to the Human Kingdom. In order to develop, paying the price is something that must be done.
So the Beast King nodded slightly, indicating that he was willing to discuss the matter.
In response, King Hubbard just smiled calmly.
The two rulers of the two countries tacitly passed over the topic and continued to focus their attention back on the movie in the distance.
…
The movie "Spice and Wolf" continues.
After leaving the tavern, Lawrence and Holo went to find the merchant Jerry again.
They pretended to continue discussing the deal and chatted in a friendly manner for a long time.
After coming out, the two immediately contacted the manager of the Milon Chamber of Commerce who was hiding in the dark.
It turned out that they had contacted the manager of the Milon Chamber of Commerce before, hoping to use the power of the Chamber of Commerce to investigate Jie Lian's identity.
Although Holo had just cheated them before, the head of the Milon Chamber of Commerce was not angry about it and was very respectful of Holo's actions.
Afterwards, Lawrence and Holo rested for a night, and Holo also talked to Lawrence about some topics from the past.
The next day, the two met Ma Het, the president of the Milon Chamber of Commerce.
Based on the clues, Ma Hete has investigated and found out that another chamber of commerce, Medio Chamber of Commerce, is suspected to be behind Jie Lian.
The Medio Chamber of Commerce is the second largest chamber of commerce in the town. Its head office is located in Pazuo, and it also has several branches. Its agricultural crop trading volume, mainly wheat, ranks first in Pazuo, and they also own quite a number of cargo ships.
However, it is obviously impossible for a mere chamber of commerce to engage in such a large-scale trade. There must be someone of higher status behind them manipulating it.
So, after discussing the specific matters with the other party, including the subsequent distribution of interests, a smile suddenly appeared on Lawrence's face.
However, compared to Lawrence's excitement, Holo looked quite strange. She was not happy at all and even revealed a gloomy look.
For this reason, Lawrence wanted to ask the other party, but Holo was dizzy because of her hangover.
After Holo fell asleep, Lawrence couldn't help but take out the shop sketch he had drawn before. That had always been his dream, to stop traveling, open a shop, and live a peaceful and stable life.
If the transaction with the Milon Chamber of Commerce goes smoothly this time, maybe we can get the money to open a store.
When Lawrence was thinking excitedly, Holo happened to wake up and saw the drawing in Lawrence's hand.
All of a sudden, Holo understood what Lawrence meant, but a hint of distress appeared on her face, because if Lawrence chose to open a shop, it meant that he could not take Holo to continue traveling to the north.
For this reason, Lawrence couldn't help but comfort him, saying that he could accompany the other party to continue to the north. After all, opening a store would not be done in a short time.
Hearing his comfort, Holo came back to her senses from her loss.
Just as their emotions were about to heat up, movement outside the room brought the alert Holo back to her senses.
Realizing that an enemy was attacking, Lawrence immediately guessed that it was someone from the Medio Chamber of Commerce.
So, they immediately fled the room through the window and moved through the alleys of the city, but were still surrounded by the enemy.
In a desperate situation, Holo suggested that she would be used as bait to help Lawrence escape to the Milon Chamber of Commerce for refuge.
Lawrence couldn't accept it at first, but Holo forced her way out. In order not to let Holo's sacrifice go to waste, Lawrence ran to the Milon Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible and was successfully rescued.
When Lawrence met the president of the Milon Chamber of Commerce, Mahot, again, he immediately hoped that he could save Holo, but he did not expect that he would behave so calmly.
As the two of them talked, Lawrence became more and more anxious and couldn't help wanting to leave and save Holo himself, but he didn't expect the president to speak sternly:
"If you can't think properly because of urgency, then everything will be put upside down."
"this… "
Hearing the president's words, Lawrence calmed down immediately.
He began to think about everything patiently and gradually realized the problem.
Even if the Medio Chamber of Commerce captured me and Holo, there was no way they could make the Milon Chamber of Commerce give up their actions. There was no benefit in their actions.
Therefore, the action the other party wants to take must be a major move that will completely destroy the entire plan of the Milon Chamber of Commerce.
If you think about it this way, there is only one answer.
The other party tried to use the fact that Holo was not human to force the Milon Chamber of Commerce to give up its action, otherwise they would report to the church that the Milon Chamber of Commerce had private dealings with the evil god.
At the same time, a letter from the Medio Chamber of Commerce confirmed Lawrence's idea.
On the other hand, President Mahot was surprised to find that Holo was actually the incarnation of the Harvest Wolf.
The two sides had a heated discussion about whether to save Holo and resolve the crisis.
"Even if we rescue your companion Holo, if they report us to the church, we will still be unable to act. We may even be hindered and lose completely."
In response to President Mahot's speech, Lawrence made a suggestion.
That is, to collect enough Trini silver coins before the Medio Chamber of Commerce, complete the transaction, and in turn use it to coerce the Medio Chamber of Commerce.
Simply put, this transaction involving Trini silver coins is essentially an action by the Medio Chamber of Commerce to collect enough Trini silver coins in exchange for privileges from the King of the Trini Kingdom.
After all, if the silver coins of the Trini Kingdom are to be recast, a large number of Trini silver coins that already exist on the market will be needed. If the king of the Trini Kingdom wants to obtain the silver coins, he must trade with the Chamber of Commerce.
The Medio Chamber of Commerce took such action precisely because it wanted to obtain a privilege from the Trini Kingdom.
Lawrence suggested that the Milon Chamber of Commerce trade with the Trini Kingdom in advance in exchange for privileges, and then trade this privilege with the Medio Chamber of Commerce to ensure that the Medio Chamber of Commerce would not dare to report Holo's affairs to the church.
During this period, he could take the opportunity to take Holo away and escape from the city, ensuring that there would be no unnecessary impact after the church intervened.
After careful consideration, President Mahot finally proposed Lawrence's conditions.
So, both parties immediately took action. Although they had different purposes, the Milon Chamber of Commerce and Lawrence reached a consensus on the action to rescue Holo.
The plot of the entire movie suddenly reached its first small climax, making all the audience nervous.
Chapter 483 (10) The Orcs’ Yearning for the Human Empire!
Chapter 483
No one expected that Holo would be captured and in danger of being reported by the church. The audience all showed nervous expressions for a moment.
After all, there is a real church in this world, and ordinary people are well aware of how harshly the church deals with heresy.
"This is really terrible. Lawrence needs to rescue Holo as soon as possible."
"Although I shouldn't sympathize with an orc, for some reason, I am now very worried about the safety of this werewolf girl."
"After all, even though she is an orc, she is essentially no different from us humans."
"Yes, although they are different races, they are essentially the same."
"… "
People watched the movie and talked about it with complicated expressions.
Although they did not have any emotions because Holo was an orc when they first saw her appear, when they really began to worry about Holo's safety, they suddenly realized that their thoughts had changed.
In the past, people often talked about orcs with either fear or hostility, and rarely viewed them as equals and in a formal manner.
But now, through the movie, through the movie's description of the orc girl Holo, people suddenly realized that orcs are no different from ordinary humans, and there is no essential difference between them.
Even the unique sexual characteristics of orcs no longer seem so scary, but instead a unique cute feature.
As a result, many ordinary people gradually accepted everything and began to formally put themselves into the roles of the protagonists in the story, dissipating the hostility towards the orcs that had accumulated in their hearts.
In contrast, due to the film’s negative portrayal of the church, many viewers have developed a subtle aversion to the church.
Especially since the Church of Holy Light in reality is not very useful and negative news appears every other day.
Therefore, many viewers instinctively became more dissatisfied with the Church of Holy Light.
…
At the same time, compared to humans' many thoughts on the movie and their newly established attitude towards orcs, the situation of the orcs in the Orc Kingdom is a bit delicate.
After all, the biggest complaint of the orcs right now is not anything else, but why the orc girl Holo in the movie did not resist at all when facing humans
"This child named Holo is a werewolf, right? Isn't this race the strongest in close combat and the one with the strongest desire to kill? How come they can't even beat a few ordinary humans?"
"The orcs in the movie are different from the orcs in our reality. After all, in reality, we orcs can only live for a similar lifespan to humans. How can we live for hundreds of years like her?"
"I've figured it out. This so-called movie is just a story made up by humans. It's no different from their novels and stage plays, except that the plot is more exciting."
"I see. But the plot of this movie is so exciting. Not only the last movie, but also this new movie is very good."
"Yes, yes, although this kind of human movie is not very close to reality, it is quite good to watch. It is really wonderful!"
"It makes me want to go to the Human Empire. There should be more movies there."
"Forget it. Humans don't treat us very well. We should be more cautious when going to the human empire."
