"If you can't represent your father Viktor, then what do you want to talk to me about?"
Regardless of whether Closide had any disagreements with his father, after all, this was someone else's family matter. However, for a black dragon that has separated from the clan, its own value will naturally be reduced a lot.
Closide met Yalin's gaze without fear: "I have made a deal with you as the vice president of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, King of the White Dragon!"
"When did the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, the Black Dragon, whose philosophy is strength, conquest and plunder, start doing business?"
"That was my father's theory, but times have changed and this theory is no longer appropriate." When Closed mentioned his father Viktorm, his tone was very strange, as if he was longing for him but not reverent.
Yalin looked at the 'Black Dragon Prince' with great interest. Of course, the word prince would not add much points to Closed. Victormu's children have always been many. In these ten thousand years, even if the dragon family Her fertility is not very good, but Viktom can have at least four or five children.
But these are not important. What is important is what benefits Croside, as the vice president of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, can bring to himself: "It's out of date... I don't completely agree with this. But, I want to know. What benefits can a vice president of a chamber of commerce bring to me that would make me excited? "
Yalin had learned from Alexis before that Croside seemed to have something important to do and wanted to cooperate with the White Dragon Clan. Considering that the current strength of Ulduar City was still very weak, Yalin was naturally unwilling to do so. Let go of any opportunity to strengthen your own strength.
"I have received some news before, about the heavy snow that never stops in the Mist Forest, and the duel between Princess Luo Jie'an of the Kingdom of Saxony and Silvado. Presumably the Kingdom of Saxony has been subordinated to the White Dragon Clan, and I hope to get the King of Saxony Domestic mineral rights.”
"Mineral mining rights." Yalin chuckled: "Then what's the benefit to me?"
Although the Kingdom of Saxony is located in the far north of frozen soil, it is an indisputable fact that there are rich mineral resources under the frozen soil. Because of the perennial wars, the Kingdom of Saxony does not have enough manpower and technology to mine these treasures buried underground. If the Kingdom of Saxony can mine these ores in large quantities, then the current situation of the Kingdom of Saxony will never be barren, but will be similar to those of Yalin's previous life. Just like the Middle Eastern countries that can survive by selling oil and are extremely prosperous.
Of course, like the countries in the Middle East, the Kingdom of Saxony, which has the "blessing of the earth", cannot escape the fate of being controlled by the big powers. The war with the Og barbarians made it impossible for the Kingdom of Saxony to escape, but it also gave the Kingdom of Saxony a life-saving guarantee in disguise. Fu, other major powers have been afraid to attack the Kingdom of Saxony directly because they are afraid that Saxony will fall and the Og barbarians will march straight into it and harm the entire continent. But recently, because of Yalin, the Kingdom of Saxony avoided two wars with the Yuog barbarians. Although they tried their best to block the news, the news was still slowly leaking out. Both King Rodlan of Saxony and King Yalin of the White Dragon knew it very well. One thing is that in some time, those big countries that have long coveted the mineral resources of the Kingdom of Saxony will definitely be ready to make a move.
The value of the mines in the Kingdom of Saxony alone is estimated to be in the trillions of lien from the few magic crystal veins detected. Not to mention a mortal like King Rodland, even Yalin who has turned on the 'cheating device' is worried about this day. The text version of Fortune makes my heart beat. It’s just that although Yalin has mining technology, like the Kingdom of Saxony, Ulduar City does not have enough population. The construction and development of Ulduar City alone often lacks manpower, let alone sending people to the Kingdom of Saxony to exploit mineral veins.
Yalin was also very troubled by this wealth that was visible and unreachable.
Closide seemed confident: "In return, I can provide mining technology and some manpower to the Kingdom of Saxony. Of course, I will also purchase the mined ore at the most reasonable price, ensuring that it is better than those greedy businessmen in the free city." It’s much more reasonable, but the precious blood gold and fine gold ore must be supplied to me first.”
"That's it?" Yalin glanced at Croside.
"The Kingdom of Saxony is a country in the far north and has always been severely short of food. Your Majesty Yalin must know this. I can ask the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce to bear 60% of the annual food supply of the Kingdom of Saxony and reduce the price by 30%. Although the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce is not the top chamber of commerce on the entire continent, it still has a certain weight in various countries. In terms of politics, even if other countries use force against the Kingdom of Saxony, I can mobilize the entire chamber of commerce to fully support the Kingdom of Saxony. What do you think? ?”
Obviously Closide has coveted the mining rights in the Kingdom of Saxony for a long time. He has collected all kinds of intelligence in the Kingdom of Saxony very comprehensively. If the old king Rodlan talks with Closide here, then these conditions must be certain. It will make the king tempted.
But Croside misjudged something. In Yalin's eyes, the Kingdom of Saxony was just a transit point for the city of Ulduar to connect with the outside world, and it had not yet become the back garden of the White Dragon Clan. For many things in the Kingdom of Saxony, Yalin is not easy to directly intervene. The two sides now only have a cooperative attitude.
"Your conditions are all about the Kingdom of Saxony, not my White Dragon Clan!" Yalin reminded Croseid straightforwardly.
Croside's eyes changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal: "My current identity is just a businessman, and I can only provide the resources that this identity can obtain. Let me think about it┉┉Your Majesty Yalin, you are not short of wealth. , There is no shortage of strength, what is missing is ┉┉ manpower!”
Croside's judgment undoubtedly made Yalin look at him with admiration.
The reason for this judgment is that Closide visited the Yanold Mountains hundreds of years ago. However, due to the powerful sealing power revealed by the Yanold Mountains, Closide only looked at it from a distance during the war. The city of Ulduar was in ruins. After the era of Overlord Garcelik came to an end, the Dragon King also sent away the remaining white dragons in order to prevent the last bit of blood from being exterminated under the pursuit of the green dragon. When Closide visited, the entire city was still lifeless, without any breath of life.
Now that the White Dragon King has awakened, the white dragons that once wandered in every corner of the continent have returned to the Yanold Mountains. Presumably the Dragon King must be rebuilding the entire city. The frost and snow elves who once believed in the white dragon have disappeared for a long time. Scattered mixed descendants still appear throughout the continent. Because of time, Croside judged that what the Dragon King was in short supply now was manpower. The former capital of the White Dragon Clan was not an ordinary grand city, and it would definitely require a lot of manpower to completely restore it.
"It seems that Viktorm has a very smart son!"
"Thank you for your praise! Although population is not the main commodity of the Blackstone Ring, there is nothing that cannot be bought with money in a free city!" Croside said in a deep voice, looking very confident.
Yalin thought for a moment: "What about weapons?"
Closide gave a rare smile and said: "Ah~ That is the main project of the Chamber of Commerce. It has everything from ordinary swords and armors to magic crystal cannons and airships. We also have mercenaries who can serve our employers, but I think His Majesty Yalin looks down upon the fighting prowess of these mortals."
"I have no shortage of weapons for the time being. Do you have any elves and dwarves in terms of population?"
Yalin did not hesitate to discuss the issue of human trafficking with Croside. Obviously, after coming to the other world and seeing too many dark sides of human nature, Yalin abandoned his previous life and was bound by the law as quickly as possible. moral concepts and strive to integrate into this alien world where the weak and the strong prey on each other.
In terms of population, there are slaves of various races in the free city, but the slaves used for hard labor on a large scale are basically humans. The former of elves and dwarves are beautiful and most of them are bought by nobles to keep as pets, while the latter are extremely capable of forging. Dwarves who are strong and have excellent forging abilities will be specially arranged to forge various high-end weapons and armors. The most important thing is that the prices of elves and dwarves are very expensive. Elves are especially expensive, let alone ordinary people. Even some small nobles cannot afford to buy elves as slaves.
Half-orcs who are strong in body and weak in brains are usually sent to gladiators in the arena to entertain the audience, because half-orcs are not suitable for hard labor, let alone large-scale use as hard labor. Half-orcs are more violent and rebellious than The psychology is very strong. Once a large-scale riot occurs, it is no joke. In the free city, slave traders must imprison the orcs in batches to avoid problems.
Orcs are divided into two types, one is the green-skinned half-orc, and the other is the sub-humanoid orc. I have seen the green-skinned half-orc Yalin, who is just like the orcs in "Warcraft" who are carved out of the same mold, and the purebred orcs are similar to humans who retain the characteristics of lions, tigers, leopards, etc. Among them, Yalin Female orcs are very similar to the beast-eared girls that often appear in some games and anime. This kind of orc is quite popular with some nobles with special hobbies, and sometimes the price is even higher than that of elves.
Yalin's request put Croseid in a bit of a dilemma. Human slaves were cheap and safer to use. Although elves and dwarves could also be obtained by the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, the quantity was not large. After all, firstly, the price was too expensive, and secondly, this The two races are originally relatively rare in number and difficult to capture.
