The Kingdom of Saxony does need technology. Even Grand Duke Maurice, who comes from a military family, strongly agrees. With the help of magic crystal cannons in the army, the Saxon army can always double the number of invading Og people. If there is no With the help of weapons brought by this advanced technology, if only soldiers wearing armor and using their flesh and blood to fight against the Og barbarians, the Kingdom of Saxony would have already drained the last bit of its population.
"The ancient god Yalin can afford what the Kingdom of Saxony needs, but the Kingdom of Saxony cannot afford a sufficient price┉┉" Morris sighed secretly. This is the biggest weakness of the Kingdom of Saxony.
Gretel also sighed silently: "Yes, the kingdom really lacks enough bargaining chips. Now it can only meet the ancient gods' requirements as much as possible, at least guarantee the agreement reached now."
The two important ministers chatted for a while, and finally Gretel left first, while Grand Duke Maurice arranged for the meeting between the divine envoy and Croside.
The Black Stone Ring Chamber of Commerce does not have a permanent guild hall in the Kingdom of Saxony. It only has a small trading post in the royal capital. Because the location of the Kingdom of Saxony is too remote, and the perennial war with the Og barbarians has caused any chamber of commerce to They are unwilling to make large-scale investments here, but now that the Og barbarians are blocked in the far north by Yalin, the White Dragon King, and the agreement on ore mining rights has been reached, then the Black Stone Ring must occupy the Kingdom of Saxony first and will Other chambers of commerce in the free city will be excluded\长\风\.()(x).net. Croseid had already started writing documents on the carriage back to the Royal Hotel. The Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce was temporarily short of funds due to the large-scale purchase of slaves, especially elven and dwarf slaves. Although the White Dragon King will pay the bill, the method of payment is really a dilemma for Croseid┉┉Olihacon Metal! The most precious magic metal in the entire world, even Closed would be heartbroken to sell the magic metal he got like this. You must know that once you sell Orihakon, no matter how much money you get, you can't even think about it. When you buy it back, this thing has a price but no market at all.
"This is really a headache!" Closide stopped writing and looked very confused. Closide really didn't want to sell such a precious magic metal, firstly because he needed to use it, and secondly because if he sold it Nine times out of ten, it will fall into the hands of the Holy City and the Holy See. For the two major religious organizations that need a large amount of rare materials to create holy relic-level equipment, this is something they are determined to obtain. But selling to them is tantamount to arming the potential. enemy
Cannot be sold! Croseid took a deep breath and rubbed his temples, although buying the elves did result in a slight loss of funds. But Blackstone Circle has had a few big trades recently that could make enough profit to make up for the shortfall. It's just that I need some time to wait for the transaction to be completed, and I also need to find a way to get some money for temporary turnover. Closide thought about it. He could see if there were any assets in the Chamber of Commerce that he couldn't use temporarily, and he could sell some for emergency use. Otherwise, we can borrow some funds┉┉No! If you borrow funds or sell off assets, it may send a wrong signal to the outside world that the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce has financial problems. This will affect the reputation of the chamber of commerce and even cause some large customers to lose confidence in the chamber of commerce.
I thought about it for a long time. Closide finally came up with a solution in his mind. A method that I really don’t want to use!
Hmm~
Suddenly, several horses were galloping past the carriage, and Croside suddenly noticed the person riding one of the black horses. The elegant figure who always carried a huge battle ax was obviously very stylish. Erkat.
"parking!"
Closide immediately ordered the carriage to stop. After getting off the bus, let the driver return first.
If he remembered correctly, Gerkat should have gone to the Forest of Mist. Why is he still in the capital of the Kingdom of Saxony? Did that guy finally change his mind and not go? If this was really the case, Croside was relieved. If Gelkate had just rushed into the misty forest so recklessly, his fearless character would definitely annoy the White Dragon King. By then the leader of the Split Tooth Ax Mercenary Group will probably be replaced.
Croside looked thoughtfully at the people walking away, and finally followed them slowly.
On the galloping horse, Gerkat was also followed by the Northland's 'little fox' Anweina and the female assassin Milam. After hunting the dragon lizard, he returned to Belika Town to rest. The news that the dragon lizard was hunted was once again It caused a sensation in the whole town. Countless mercenaries cheered in disbelief. The bards even went crazy to record this great feat. I believe that it won’t be long before the glorious deeds of the mercenary king in the free city are revealed. One more lieutenant general. Especially when Gerkat displayed the huge magic core dug out of the dragon lizard, the roof of the entire Snowfield House Hotel was almost torn off by the roars of the mercenaries. Some of the pharmacists and alchemists present immediately began to contact their mentors and their colleges to prepare funds. Everyone was determined to buy this extremely precious dragon lizard magic core.
Some of the precious materials Anweina dug out from the dragon lizard were sold for a sky-high price. Several alchemists even started fighting over the two bottles of blood of the dragon lizard. Milam also gained a lot, but the female assassin used these materials to build a good set of equipment for herself. The only person who wanted to cry in this carnival-like atmosphere was the female mage who gave up halfway because of fear. This female water mage never dreamed that Gerkat was really capable of killing dragon lizards. She could take as many precious materials as she wanted. This huge wealth fell from the sky because of her temporary fear. And it slipped from my fingers helplessly.
In fact, in addition to the loss and regret felt by the female mage, some mercenaries heard from the 'little fox' Anweina that there were too many dragon lizard corpses. The three of them could not even get a tenth of the materials they took from the dragon lizards. No, they all immediately beat their chests angrily. If I had known this, I should have followed Gerkat to hunt the dragon lizards. Even if I was just on the sidelines, I could get a share of the pie.
Gerkat did not stay in Bellica for long but quickly set off for the Saxon capital. The three of them galloped to the gate of the Royal Mage Academy. After being stopped by the guards on duty, Gerkat directly asked to see Lei. Liz.
The guard also recognized that the person who came was actually the famous mercenary king in the free city. Although it was unclear what Gerkat wanted to do with the disciple of the palace mage, the guard still dutifully went to inform Relis immediately.
"Please follow me, Mr. Gerkat." The guard who returned quickly made a gesture of invitation and guided Gerkat to Relis' private research room.
Anweina and Milam followed behind and whispered to each other along the way. Neither of them knew who this mage named Relis was. How could Gelkate come to the capital of Saxony in such a hurry? To see him.
"This name should be female!" Anweina, who was very sensitive to certain things, muttered softly.
Milam also agreed: "Could it be an acquaintance of Lord Gelkate┉┉"
"Could it be a lover?" Anweina also guessed in a playful way, but her tone of voice was slightly aggrieved. She had given her first time to Gelkate not long ago, but she didn't expect him to... ┉┉
Although the two of them talked very quietly, they could not hide it from Gerkat's ears. Listening to the two people constantly spreading gossip, Gerkat laughed it off and said nothing. Soon outside the private laboratory, Gerkat saw a familiar figure, the female mage Relis Shafir, whom he had met once in the Mist Forest.
The female mage still has a ponytail as when she first met. Although she has a broken arm, she looks good. Today, Relis is also wearing a pair of small gold-rimmed glasses, which makes the already good-looking woman The mage showed more intellectual beauty.
Is this Relis? This is the person Gerkat came here to meet┉┉
Anweina and Milam quickly took a look at Leilis. She was really good-looking and had some aristocratic temperament. What was important was that the mage emblem on her chest showed that she looked to be in her early twenties. The woman is actually a 13th-level magician. It is very easy for a 13th-level magician to obtain a noble status in some countries. In addition, the girl is so young and must have unlimited potential. In the future, the level of magicians will increase by several levels. If you say that, you might actually be able to enter the upper class society.
Lost! !
This was what Anweina and Milam thought of at the same time, but they were a little confused when they discovered that Leilis only had one arm.
"Then, what do you want to see me for? Mr. Gerkat." Looking at Gerkat, Relis, who is always smart, stuttered a little while speaking. At the same time, Relis turned her curious eyes to On the two people behind Gelkate: "Who are these two?"
Gelkate tidied up her clothes: "I came to see you and bring you something, and these two are┉┉"
"Hello Miss Leilis, my name is Anweina, a member of the Split Tooth Tomahawk mercenary group." Anweina said first after paying mercenary courtesy.
"Milm~ Same as Anweina." Milam also bowed slightly.
Reilis's expression changed, and she glanced at Gerkat with some doubts. The latter shrugged and nodded that she was right. Just when Lelis was about to invite Gerkat in, a voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
"It's not bad. When did you get two such beautiful girls? Aren't you going to the Forest of Mist?"
