Supporting a puppet who opposes oneself is used to identify people with different intentions. Before the dragon war broke out thousands of years ago, the Black Dragon King Viktorm loved to use this method.
"Let me guess, the president of the Black Stone Circle has been a puppet controlled by you from the beginning. On the surface, you maintain a serious disagreement and opposition, which makes people in the Chamber of Commerce who are dissatisfied with you or have different intentions regard him as An opportunity to overthrow you. And when someone quietly joins the president's team, you will probably be able to get detailed information about all the dissidents in the first place."
Yalin sneered and said to Croside. Although Croside looked indifferent on the surface, there was still a hint of haze in his eyes. Schneizel sat aside and listened with a half-smile. The black dragon prince was very scheming. This move really showed off both sides and played hard to get.
"Lawrence, the big businessman, would never have thought that the people he wanted to win over were all subordinates of the enemy. As soon as Lawrence made a move, the president of the Black Stone Ring would suddenly switch sides at the critical moment. In addition, he had already mastered all the information and arranged all the plans. Trap, you can harvest them without any hesitation, but it may not be able to completely end the opponent in one go, but it can still severely damage the opponent's vitality, and more importantly, it can severely damage the prestige of the chairman of the chamber of commerce. , paving the way for the selection of the next chamber of commerce president.”
Croside was silent for a long time without admitting or denying. What the White Dragon King Yalin said was absolutely correct. This was indeed his arrangement. The president of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce was ousted by him a long time ago, and he is still there now. The puppet on the stage is actually one of his confidants. He is just a human slave from the Black Dragon Clan who is under his control. As a master, the drama that he and his servants have played for so long has never been seen through by anyone. Unexpectedly, Yalin guessed it clearly.
No! It should be said that his father had used this method before, so the White Dragon King knew it so well!
Thinking of this, Closide couldn't help but smile at himself. He never expected that what he originally thought was a brilliant plan would end up being an imitation of his father. Just as Yalin said, "How can a child oppose his parents even if he doesn't?" "But I will subconsciously imitate my parents' behavior": "It seems that I am just trying to be smart. As a result, I still haven't stepped out of my father's shadow, let alone surpassed him."
Yalin turned his head and said with an attitude that it had nothing to do with me: "Any conflict between you and Viktom is a matter between your father and son, and it is also an internal issue of the Black Dragon Clan. What I want to tell you is never Look down on your father, he is smarter than you think and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, including himself!”
Closide's eyes changed and his tone became tough again: "In order to achieve the goal at any cost┉┉I agree with this! And this is also where I look down on him. I will use time to prove that my method is the biggest difference between my father and my father." The difference is, what he can do with 100 lien, I can do the same with 10 lien.”
"That has nothing to do with me. The only thing I am interested in is what benefits you can bring to my White Dragon Clan after taking control of Free City. Depending on the situation, maybe we can reach more deals in the future."
Although I don’t know what the conflict is between Croside and Viktom. But Yalin was not interested in asking. I have only one goal now. That is to seize the time to develop and consolidate the entire city of Ulduar, so that it can withstand the attack of the dragon alliance after the end of the remaining novice protection period.
Croside also nodded: "Of course! Your Majesty Yalin! I have also prepared a batch of elven and dwarf slaves for you, although not many. It cost nearly one billion Lien to purchase these slaves, I don't know Can you pay off this bill first?"
"Are you worried that I won't be able to afford it?" Yalin smiled and asked in a weird tone.
"That's not true! The wealth accumulated by the ancient White Dragon King Dragon King in thousands of years is estimated to be endless. It's just that the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce must maintain enough liquidity for normal operations, otherwise I will not be able to survive." Money is buying a bunch of slaves.”
"Have your people send the elves and dwarves to Belica Fortress in the Kingdom of Saxony. As for the bill, I will have someone forward it to you when you visit the Kingdom of Saxony!"
After saying this, Lyallington paused: "Considering the amount of this fund and the current situation of Ulduar City, I will use this to pay the bill!"
In Closed's doubtful eyes, the ore that was melted into standard ingots and shone with dazzling light appeared on the table. Closed suddenly opened his eyes in disbelief. This kind of unique magic The brilliance and the life-like stream of light are obviously the most precious magic metal in the world - Orihakon!
The White Dragon King actually wants to use Orihakon to pay the bill! And it’s still refined, high-purity Orihacon! Croside couldn't believe his eyes for a while. Orihacon's magic metal was completely priceless in the mortal world. Many times, this rare metal is often used as a strategic weapon by a country. Even if the resources are reserved, there are very few countries that can possess Orihakon's magic metal, and the amount they have in their hands is pitifully small.
Not only mortals, but even giant dragons are obsessed with Orihakon. Many dragons will collect Orihakon to make armors, because weapons made with Orihakon can even cut through dragon scales. If you want to defend yourself from Orihakon, Weapons made of Lihacon metal can only use armor made of the same material. Moreover, in addition to being able to infuse any magic, Orihakon metal also has an unknown magical effect, that is, Orihakon metal can not only infuse magic power but even divine power!
The holy objects owned by the chief priests of the five supreme gods in the Holy City are actually equipment made by the gods themselves and infused with divine power by Orihakon. After the chief priests wear them, they can easily use the gods' magic in them. It is displayed in the main material plane. While amplifying divine spells, Orihacon's magic metal also has excellent defense capabilities against divine spells. This is a precious metal that even gods would long to own.
If so many Orihakon can be brought to the Free City for auction, a little publicity in the early stage will probably cause a sensation in the entire continent. Maybe even the Holy City and the Holy See will be attracted to buy it at all costs. The Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce will not only gain money, but also the most important influence and support!
However, Croside became entangled in an instant. He had originally planned to make a very important magic weapon. The most lacking material was Orihacon metal. For this reason, the plan had been on hold. Now he has Oriha The Konmetal plan will be able to officially begin. But if Orihakon is used privately, the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce will be short of funds in a short period of time, which will affect the subsequent game with the big businessmen in the free city. But just sell such precious Orihakon ore to mortals┉┉
Even Croside is really reluctant to part with him┉┉
Yalin looked at Croside's tangled look and smiled to himself. These Orihakon metals were unexpected gains from the underground city of Addis. In fact, there is also the secret of the White Dragon King in Ulduar City. The treasury also contains a large amount of wealth collected by the White Dragon Clan over the past ten thousand years. Although a lot of it was used as military expenses during the Dragon War, it is still an astronomical amount. Paying a mere billion Lien is simply a drop in the bucket, but Yalin deliberately It is actually Schneizel's opinion to use Orihakon metal to pay. As for the wealth of the White Dragon King Mikuli, it will be put to use in the near future after Ulduar City introduces currency.
"You gave too much, Your Majesty Yalin!" After calming down for a while, Croside also noticed that there was something wrong. There is no way that the White Dragon King would not know the preciousness of Orihacon's metal. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the Dragon King to do so. The Orihakon metal, which is already so precious and whose price cannot be estimated normally, is used to pay the bill. Doesn’t the White Dragon Clan have other valuable things
Could it be that all the wealth collected by the White Dragon Clan over the past ten thousand years has been carried away by the Green Dragon
If this is not the reason, it means that the White Dragon King must have other demands. If so, it would be better. Businessmen pursue profits, but they must also look at who they are pursuing. Sometimes some powerful beings encounter In some special situations, you will not play your cards according to reason, so when dealing with this kind of existence, it is best to weigh whether the money you make is proportional to the loss caused by angering the other party.
"In addition to settling these elves with these Orihakon metals, I also want to ask you for some information. If possible, I also need you to buy something for me."
"Please tell me!" Every businessman likes to deal with high-rollers, and Closide is no exception.
Yalin quietly signaled to Schneizel. The latter smiled knowingly and found a reason to leave temporarily.
"An elf girl named Aisha. She is an elf who escaped from the Kingdom of Karut a while ago. She was captured by mercenaries in the free city before entering the Mist Forest. I need to get her!"
Elf riot in the Kingdom of Karut!
As a businessman, Croside naturally knew this news. The slave traders in the free city also united and sent a large number of mercenaries to hunt down these elves. In fact, many of the elves purchased this time were captured at that time. As for the escaped elves living there, you may want to ask the Chamber of Commerce to check among the purchased elves first. If you are lucky, you might find the elf named Elsa.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t find it. In a free city, whether it’s population or information, you can buy anything with money! (To be continued...)
