Isn't this the end of the war? Coldwind City and Banshee Fort have'restored normal business relations'. Merchants are the most hungry, and as long as they have enough profits, they risk being hanged.
Zhou Qingfeng wants food and is extremely short of food. It is not enough to grow the land by oneself. Foreign trade is necessary. The Banshee Fort to the south was stuck in the trade route, but if the trade route was really broken, there was no money to make.
Not long after the end of the war, the town of Dense Fog, which was originally a battlefield, ushered in new prosperity. Dilapidated buildings have been repaired, blocked roads have been dredged, and the fleet of vehicles coming and going is constantly flowing, bringing the town back to its popularity.
The Principality of Oss to the south is at war, but agricultural products are still being transported to the north continuously.
Coldwind City is constantly upgrading its manufacturing industry, not only metal products, but also glass recently began to supply in small quantities. It's much cheaper than those special utensils for wizards.
If the cement is made out again, Uncle Zhou will gather together the three artifacts of crossing.
Now that the profits of running the North-South Commercial Road are extremely high, Zhou Qingfeng deliberately makes a profit, attracting a large number of businessmen. For a while, Coldwind City became a commerce and trade center in the Northland.
When the conflict eased, Powell and Johnson came again. Their signature is to spy on the enemy, but in fact they use Banshee Fort's funds as capital, ready to do business.
Only when they arrived in Coldwind City, the two encountered a disagreement. In the past six months, the city has completely changed. Even the roads have been re-planned and the urban layout has been greatly adjusted.
In addition, the rule of Lord Hugo is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Ordinary people relieved the heavy pressure that they had carried in the past. The taxation, labor, and status of residents have undergone tremendous changes. Everyone has a kind of relief in their hearts, and sincerely supports the new ruler.
The two of them took all their wealth into the city and touched their noses at the passenger terminal. But they rushed towards the market without arranging their accommodation.
Since the food in Banshee Fort was controlled by big merchants, the two of them couldn't get the goods at all, so they had to go to Coldwind City to try their luck. Before they came, they had already understood clearly that if they traveled north and south, their principal would be at least 50%.
It is not impossible to make several times the profit if you can get the goods in short supply.
The market in the city is currently controlled by the Harmony Chamber of Commerce, which has shops for buying and selling different types of goods. Johnson is the caster, first go to the magic material store.
The shop is in the central square of the city, and the Wizard’s Tower is nearby. The two drove overnight and entered the city early in the morning. The store opened at ten, and they immediately rushed in to pick the goods they wanted.
The store is like a chemical storage warehouse, with hundreds of sealed vials for display on the shelves. Each small bottle is labeled with the name, type and nature.
Johnson came in and cheered, ignoring his robes and stumbled, staggering to the cabinet on the shelf. An apprentice wizard came over and took a look, and asked unsurprisingly: "Your Excellency, what do you need?"
Johnson's hands and feet trembled, staring at the category names on the shelf back and forth, muttering the names of various spelling materials in his mouth, and was accompanied by a rapid panting.
Powell followed up and asked urgently: "How is it? Is it in stock? Don't go for nothing. We borrowed usury and calculated interest in days. If this is a loss, we are afraid that we will not be able to go back. ."
Johnson did not speak, but stared at the container exhibits.
Powell's face flushed anxiously behind him, so he simply took out a leaflet from his pocket and asked the apprentice wizard in the store: "Do you have all the goods above?"
The apprentice wizard only glanced, and knew what these two were doing.
Isn't it that Arce has finished the coking process recently, and took advantage of the opportunity to distill the coal tar and wood tar previously collected at high temperature again.
The composition of tar is complex, there are tens of thousands of different chemical substances.
Mo Ji and Shu Mei trained a group of chemistry apprentices to separate thousands of compounds from tar including phenol, hydrocarbon, benzene, naphthalene, etc. through heating, evaporation, condensation, and extraction.
Many of these compounds have magical effects in other worlds, which is very precious.
Normal wizards rely on natural animals, plants or minerals to extract. The purity of magic materials can reach multiple digits, even fractions of a fraction, and most of them are impurities.
The purity of the magic material that Arcie produced can be one or two orders of magnitude higher, and the utility reaches the level of quantitative change leading to qualitative change.
The wizards of Coldwind City are “getting the moon first near the water tower”, so they have obtained far more advanced materials than usual. Their recent spellcasting level has been greatly improved, and some people have been promoted to master more powerful arcane arts and touched a deeper magic net.
In order to establish a strong image of his side, Zhou Qingfeng decided to sell some of the more'ordinary' pharmaceutical materials. He even made a special advertisement to distribute to the outside world in order to make more money.
The advertisements were scattered, and the wizards of the North were not convinced at first, but they inevitably asked the merchants to buy a portion and try. After they confirmed the effect, they immediately swarmed and couldn't stop them.
Nowadays, the tower of the wizards of Coldwind City is very crowded, and it entertains the wizards who keep coming. Everyone wants to know how this high-purity magic material comes from
Even if you don't get the secret recipe, you can get a lot of convenience in conducting research nearby.
The wizards seem to have money, but in fact they consume too much research, and just a few omissions on hand is enough for other classes to make a lot of money. But they themselves are also caught in a huge imbalance between costs and returns.
To conduct advanced experiments, you must use advanced materials, but advanced materials also mean high costs. The closed problem of the wizarding circle also means that there is too little communication, and everyone is'reinventing the wheel'.
Zhou Qingfeng only had to reduce the price of the materials to half of the'normal' level, and the wizards in the entire Northland couldn't sit still. If Coldwind City implements a little open policy, it can harvest talents that others have cultivated for decades.
For Powell's eagerness, the apprentice wizard in the store has already seen more. He only nodded slightly, and said: "At present, all magic materials are in sufficient supply, but the price is 20% higher than last week."
Upon hearing this sentence, Johnson, who had been staring at the shelf, quickly turned his head and looked at Powell. Both of them suddenly nodded their heads—the price was still within the acceptable range, and some made a profit.
"We need the oil of Naraku, the saliva of the evil demon, the stamen extract of the piranha..." Johnson reported more than a dozen material names in one breath.
These materials have long been circled on the leaflet, and they are currently the best selling goods. Transporting them to Banshee Fort can increase their value by two or three times. If they are transported to the war-torn Duchy of Oss, they can increase tenfold.
The wizard apprentice curled his lips whenever he heard a name, and finally couldn’t help but say, “When you come to buy goods in the future, don’t use informal names. Noble wizards should use formal names, such as'Highly aromatic hydrocarbons. '."
It's cold...
Both Johnson and Powell sullenly did not speak, only Dudu stood on top of their master's head at some point and shouted: "Master, this apprentice is taunting you. He deliberately said that you don't understand, in order to express that he is smarter. ."
The apprentice's cautious thoughts were broken, a little embarrassing. Johnson even sipped "shut up" and didn't want to listen to his pet to tell the story. The two sides don't want to argue, it's serious to get the deal done quickly.
The transaction was carried out in the secret room of the store, the apprentice fetched the goods in the glass bottle, and Johnson conducted the identification on the spot. Each identification can make him inexplicably excited.
Powell took out a small bag with magical gems that were easy to carry. The two of them misappropriated the intelligence funds provided by Banshee Fort, and also put all their wealth on, and even borrowed daily interest usury to collect 1,500 gold coins.
Seeing that the two were nervous and serious, but only gave out such a small amount of money, the apprentice curled his lips again. This expression was caught by Dudu, and it yelled again—Master, he was saying that you two are poor ghosts!
