"I swear, this is the last time I will attend the so-called aristocratic banquet!" The little man held his forehead in both hands and moaned in a low voice: "Boring people chatting about boring topics, you can never imagine that it is as simple as a sentence." You can actually spend the whole night discussing things like this!"
"Looking at your appearance, I can imagine it!" Ye Qi held a glass of water and put it in front of his friend: "So, have they reached an agreement?"
"Ten minutes before the end of the banquet, the Nord family and the representative of the supreme government named Moretti signed an agreement; although the content of the agreement is not yet known, but looking at the face of that Moretti, the highest The government definitely suffered a big loss this time!" Picking up the clear water handed over by his friend, the little man drank it down, and continued: "It's definitely not just what we guessed before, it's just some financial compensation, it should be returned With other compensations, the biggest possibility is to give up the tax revenue of the Port of Saas!"
Although Ye Qi was unwilling, or even disgusted, to participate in such an aristocratic banquet, before the banquet started, he and his friend who participated on his behalf guessed the essence of the banquet—although the essence of every aristocratic banquet is different. It is an existence other than the possibility of gatherings; however, this time there was an attack on Saskatchewan, and such a thing just happened. Obviously, the actual problem to be solved this time is not difficult to guess.
It’s just that the two sides have always treated the port of Saas, coupled with the disgraceful role played by the supreme government in the Port of Saas incident, the compensation is undoubtedly certain; it’s just how much compensation, even if it’s a small businessman. There is no specific guess—maybe the little man has a relatively clear price for most of Lorant's products, and he can count any items in the Qiulin District where he was born and the Landing Castle where he is now, but for mixed After various factors, and compensation of a political nature, he only made a rough guess.
Of course, it turns out that his guess is far from specific compensation; therefore. Seeing Ye Qi's slightly surprised expression, the little man couldn't help shrugging his shoulders helplessly, and said, "Obviously. We all underestimated the wealth and power of the supreme government!"
"It's not something that can be described as rich and powerful, but it doesn't care about Kimpton at all!" Ye Qi tapped his fingers on the table and said while thinking: "You should know the annual port tax, it's just what we know about the Port of Saas. That part is an astronomical sum! Even if it has to be made up, the top government’s compensation this time is too big!"
The reason why the highest government acquiesces in the ownership of the Port of Sarth by the Northeast family is that apart from the help they had given to the rebellion against the Holy See, a large part of it is because the Northeast family pays a tax on the Port of Sarth to the highest government every year. Just like how the lords paid the king back then—and this kind of tax payment began in the era of freedom. Since the establishment of the supreme government, it has not changed; therefore, although Ye Qi and the little man have guessed a lot, they have not guessed this aspect.
Because, according to common sense, this is simply impossible!
Taxation, no matter in which era, is one of the signs of the integrity of a country's establishment; if taxation is exempted. Plus there is no word of direct jurisdiction. So what is the difference between a country within a country? Although the highest government is still pursuing a peaceful strategy, this is when there is no fundamental harm. If someone crosses the line, the highest government will kill them in the cradle with thunder even if it is to make an example. Among them; let alone allowing such a thing to appear. No matter how stupid the top officials of the highest government are, there is absolutely no such possibility. Unless they are looking forward to the destruction of the supreme government!
And this is obviously even more impossible-although those high-level officials of the highest government will seek some self-interest for enjoyment. But they will never forget that these existences are rooted in the establishment of the highest government; therefore, they will definitely abide by certain bottom lines; although this will appear extremely contradictory, it is an indisputable fact!
Therefore, just a moment later, Ye Qi shook his head, denying his friend's previous speculation—
"It's impossible to give up the taxation of the port of Sass! Unless the highest government wants to kill itself, it will not accept such a proposal, not to mention that in the current situation of the North family, it will never propose such an excessive proposal." Propose it; this is not in line with the usual aristocratic style of the Northstead family!" After denying it, Ye Qi made a more reasonable and acceptable guess: "Even if that Fletcher returns, it is impossible; with the other party's At this age, I will only seek more secure interests that do not exceed the bottom line of the highest government, instead of provoking the highest government like this!"
"If I were Fletcher, apart from the large amount of compensation, I should start with the complete ownership of Saas Port!"
"Full ownership?"
After the little man was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up and he realized it immediately—undoubtedly, compared to the practice of completely exempting taxes and hurting his own foundation; It's all the more possible for the Port of Saas to 'deserve its name'!
"The existence of the highest government such as the police station will still exist, and it will still be in the name of the highest government, but it will be replaced by people from the Northeast family! Moreover, plus enough to be equivalent to a year or several Kimpton’s annual tax as compensation! As long as the Northstead family uses it well enough, it will not only usher in a period of rapid development for the port of Saas again, but it will also become difficult for the highest government to re-install personnel in the future. Heavy!"
"That's right! With the Kimpton of the highest government as compensation, the Port of Saas controlled by the North family can definitely use lower taxes to attract more businessmen and investors!" Standing in front of the only window in the room , Ye Qi nodded in agreement with his friend; at the same time, he stretched out his finger in the direction of Saas Port, and said slowly: "In addition to the particularity of Saas Port itself as the maritime transportation hub of the entire southern Lorant , I am afraid that in the next period of time, it will be even more prosperous!"
"I'm really looking forward to what the port of Saas will look like in a few years!" The little man stood beside Ye Qi, looking at the port of Saas where only the lights of the lighthouse could be seen in the distance, he couldn't help sighing: "If it wasn't for the If I want to go to Hailin to find that nasty woman, I really want to make a good fortune!"
Although the little man is already a qualified demon hunter, his sensitivity to Kimpton still makes him want to move when he sees some business opportunities. Nature; and, on the other hand. The little man inherited quite pure blood from his merchant parents.
"You can cooperate with Morrie! I think he will be very happy!"
Ye Qi smiled and suggested to his friend—he was not surprised that his friend was planning to go back to Hailin District to find Nine Nights Nightmare; it was like he was going to Qianmao District to find the remaining power of faith to increase his strength; every friend They are all working hard on their own paths, and he only needs to support them. And look forward to a happier reunion together; after all, they already have a home together in Landingburg—the devil doesn't cry.
"Morrie?"
Quickly, the little man shook his head: "That guy is completely addicted to the basic foundation about wizards you gave him, and the business on the second floor completely allows Linex or Gofa to help Amanda in turn; Moreover, at breakfast yesterday, he shouted loudly at everyone to be proud of being a great wizard or a dark wizard! Although he can only float a spoon right now!"
"Even with the help of medicine, it is not easy to sit until the spoon floats in such a short period of time!"
Knowing the 'special relationship' between the little man and the dark businessman, Ye Qi couldn't help smiling and gave a correct evaluation - not everyone can become a wizard, it requires a certain talent. Although it doesn't have to be as outstanding as the apostles, it is definitely far superior to ordinary people; and because of this, during the dark ages, there was a wave of blood theory, and this formed the prototype of the earliest wizard family. Wizard families are all proud of their bloodlines, and this pride has been preserved to this day; even some families still maintain the oldest habit of intermarriage within the family, or between families. The purpose is to ensure the purity of the blood.
Although no one can prove the correctness of this pedigree theory. But the probability of the next generation of wizards produced after such intermarriage is indeed higher than that of the next generation after marrying ordinary people-the facts speak louder than words, so the custom has been preserved; even if it always brings some negative A product; for example: a deformed child or premature death.
And even if you have the talent to become a wizard, you will not be able to become a wizard for sure—it requires countless hard work and accumulation of sweat; whether it is reading books or complicated experiments, it is the basic homework for a wizard; To have the correct way of meditation to mobilize your spiritual power; and it will take quite a long time!
From an ordinary person to a wizard apprentice. Those with outstanding talents only need a dozen days or a month, while those with lesser talents cannot be estimated at all. Maybe he didn't enter the door of the wizard's field until he died frequently-and being able to float a spoon is one of the signs of becoming a wizard's apprentice; the black market dealer took about less than two months. The talent is already outstanding enough, even with the help of potions; after all, those potions only helped him to gather the divergent mental power, not increase it, and everything depended on the black market merchant himself.
Of course, being able to float a spoon is one of the hallmarks of being a wizard apprentice, but black market merchants are still far from being a real wizard apprentice—every wizard is knowledgeable, this saying has been circulating since the barbaric age; It is not a compliment or meaningless praise, but telling a fact; a large number of experiments and countless unfamiliar experimental materials are doomed to the knowledge reserve of every wizard; even if it is just a wizard apprentice, in some aspects, it is definitely far superior Ordinary scholars, and in this regard, black market merchants are undoubtedly far behind.
"Every wizard needs a lot of Kimpton as savings funds. Whether it is buying experimental materials or constructing some spell models, it is not something ordinary people can afford! I think Morrie must have discovered it with his sense of smell. my secret; therefore, I don't think he will refuse your offer!"
"Then, I will make a five-person investment plan including you, me, Darlan, Ava, and Morrie!" After hearing what his friend said, the little man couldn't help shrugging his shoulders: "Although there are more than this guy Morrie One, but if it goes well, I think we can retire early and retire in Landingburg!"
"Retirement pension?"
After Ye Qi heard this word, he couldn't help being startled, and then slowly shook his head: "Ten years later, no, it will be nine years later, and there is still a big war waiting for us; after that big war. We can really retire!"
"Is that battle really like what you said, only the existence of the Sun Yao level can participate in it?"
"If that big battle really happened, the ordinary Sun Yao class is just the lowest level existence!"
Facing inquiries from friends. Since the existence of the strange wolf cannot be revealed, Ye Qi can only explain it to his friends from other directions - although this kind of explanation is very vague, but after having a bottom line as a standard of measurement. Everything became clear again.
"Solar level is only the lowest level of existence? That is to say, if you don't even have the strength of the solar level, then you don't even have the qualifications to participate?" Speaking of this, the little man couldn't help rubbing his temples, and sighed. : "It turns out that the depreciation speed of the Sun Yao class has surpassed that of banknotes!"
"It seems that the time for me to return to Hailin District must be advanced!"
Finally, the little man made such a conclusion.
And this early time also surprised Ye Qi—the next morning, breakfast time. Looking at the little man and Ava who were carrying simple salutes on their backs, Ye Qi immediately put down the tableware in his hand and stood up.
"Even if you want to go ahead, don't start the next day, right?"
"If it wasn't for discussing the investment plan with Mori, I would have set off with Ava and returned to Hailin last night!" After the breakfast and the food for the journey prepared by the big man, he turned his head to Ye Qi and spread his hands helplessly: "That oppressive feeling really makes me breathless! If I don't reach the solar level in a day, it will be difficult for me to make it a day." I'm at ease! I don't want to be in that big battle. I don't even have the qualifications to participate!"
"Um!"
Ava, who was habitually silent, only nodded, but expressed his opinion very clearly.
"Well, have a good trip! Looking forward to your return!"
Looking at the little man and Ava, Ye Qi, who had already been mentally prepared, picked up his milk tea cup.
"Wait for our good news!"
Ding!
Several cups touched together lightly. There was a crisp sound.
…
In the afternoon after the little man and Ava left, Ye Qi, who had packed his bags again, called his female disciple and another friend, the big man, into the room.
"Teacher. Are you leaving too?"
As soon as she entered the room, the young witcher saw the luggage at Ye Qi's feet, even though the little man and Ava left in the morning. The young witcher was already mentally prepared; but after seeing that the teacher was determined to leave, she still felt very reluctant; therefore, the young witcher immediately added: "Teacher, I May I join you?"
"Young eagles must leave the wings of their elders if they want to soar into the sky!" Speaking of a proverb circulating among demon hunters, Ye Qi gently rubbed the hair on the top of his female disciple's head, and said with a smile: " I am different from Datong and Ava, my whereabouts have been watched by countless people, even if I am alone, it is not easy to escape the sight of these people!"
"What's more, you have now entered a period of rapid growth in strength, and accumulating your own strength is the most important thing you need to consider now; after all, as the big sister of Tiger and the others, you must lead by example!"
"Yes, teacher!" The young witcher nodded, then looked at Ye Qi expectantly: "You will be back soon, aren't you?"
"I promise to be back as soon as I've done what I need to do!"
Ye Qi assured his female disciple.
"Then, I'll wait for you!"
Seeing her teacher's smiling expression, the young witcher couldn't help but nodded slightly.
…
After his female disciple left, Ye Qi looked at his friend who had been waiting for a long time.
"I'll leave the bar to you and Morrie!"
"Don't worry, Ye! I will work hard!"
The big man had his usual silly smile.
"There is also the Yuehui level to enter the Sunyao level. Although what is required is continuous accumulation, the flash of inspiration is the most important thing. You don't need to practice too hard. Sometimes you can relax!"
Looking at his friend with a silly smile, Ye Qi tried his best to organize his own language, and explained to his friend—that's right, the big man who has always been simple and honest is the most powerful existence among his friends, and he has vaguely touched the gate of the Sun Yao class; Naturally, this is inseparable from the usual diligence of the big man, and it can even be said that the big man is more diligent than him; however, it is necessary to reach the Sun Yao level, but it is not just hard work.
It is undoubtedly frustrating to work hard for a long time without gaining anything—although Ye Qi does not think that his friends will be overwhelmed by such negative emotions, but it is he who informs and reminds his friends in advance. , Companions must do.
"This, this, I already have a direction!"
Touching the back of his head, the big man looked embarrassed.
