"That's a big problem, it's really a glaring weakness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Thankfully, neither Attila nor Sigourney discovered this weakness, which is really glad. ”

Semiramis smiled faintly, although it is a big problem, but now that it has been discovered, this problem is no longer a problem.

In this world, scary is never a problem, but there is no problem...... Only those stupid guys will think that no problem is a good thing, and really smart people always try to find problems when there are no problems, find them in advance, analyze them in advance, and solve them in advance, especially for people like Alice who stand at the top of the pyramid of the main plane, it is even less of a problem.

"Thankfully, fortunately, Semiramis, I would rather believe in the stupidity of my enemies, than in the so-called gods of luck and bad luck, and even more so in the three goddesses who love to weave. ”

Alice said disdainfully, for perfectionists, there is never such a thing as a happy one, and the so-called bad luck is, in her opinion, just an excuse for not being well prepared.

"So, Alice, Francis, Drake can't be trusted, she's got a magical pact with you. ”

If those goblins have been in a state of possible betrayal at any time, and have not turned their backs on Alice because the bargaining chips for betrayal are not enough, and the other options are too bad, then Francis Drake, the girl who experienced the destruction of Alexandria Harbor with Alice's help, should also be trustworthy.

"What do you think, Skaha, if the chips are enough, will Drake betray us and blockade us Jutland from the sea, cutting off our export trade by sea?"

Alice didn't answer Semiramis's question directly, but turned her head to Skaha, wanting to hear the red-haired girl's advice before thinking about Francis's question.

"I haven't met Francis Drake, but from what you usually say, that guy is undoubtedly a trustworthy person, the kind of person who can be impressed by not just a bargaining chip. ”

"However, there are never absolutes in the world, putting an egg in a basket is a stupid thing, there are too many things in the world that can distort a person's mind, magical magic, powerful artifacts, language deception, coercion that cannot be ignored, etc., can make a person go against her principles and force her to do things she is not willing to do. ”

Skaha calmly made her own judgment, precisely because she did not communicate with Francis Drake, without the slightest subjective judgment, but from the perspective of a third party, to comment on the relationship between Jutland and Francis, she did not regard all the North Sea pirates as a unified whole, but consciously divided and judged separately.

"You don't have to worry about Skaha, I signed a magic contract with Drake [No Loophole], and with her current strength, no matter what she thinks, there is no way to break it. ”

"But it was Francis Drake who signed the treaty with you, not her pirates, who may have been able to do her bidding, but how long could their greed be suppressed in the face of the constant flow of wealth to Jutland?"

"Well, Skaha, I see what you mean, it was indeed my negligence before, I underestimated Francis Drake, and underestimated the pirates under his command, Alice once said that a grain of rat droppings can spoil a good pot of soup, as long as those pirates are bought, it will affect us at a critical time. ”

Think about it, what a terrible thing it would be if those pirates were bribed to help the enemy's army with transportation, and suddenly appear on the surface of Jutland's city without Drake noticing, maybe the next day some hero will start to spread the story of a city in one night, with Alice and Jutland as a pedal.

Semiramis put down her shelves and admitted her previous negligence and carelessness, with her pride, this is a very difficult thing, but from another point of view, it also shows that Semiramis officially accepted Skaha into Alice's family, officially becoming a member of Jutland.

"You're right, whether it's putting an egg on Francis Drake alone, or neglecting to communicate with her pirates, the enemy will easily take advantage of our weaknesses. ”

"Okay, that's all for now, what we have to do now is what we should do if the trade route is cut off by someone else......

Alice immediately stopped the conversation, she didn't want to let Skaha and Semiramis have a verbal conflict because of this little problem.

"If the old trade routes are cut off, we can open up new ones. ”

Semiramis proposed.

"New routes, this is indeed a method, but Semiramis, if we have a long battle with Attila, then both the east and the north will be completely blocked, and if there is a problem with Francis Drake, then there will be a problem in the west, and as for the south...... It was a barbarian land, there were no human beings at all, and if we could open up new trade routes, we could only go to the south. ”

"Southern...... If we go to the south, those goblins will definitely stop it, they don't dare to start in the open, but there will definitely be no shortage of small means in the dark, especially those guys in the south, it is not so easy to communicate, except for the goblins, they will not trust other outsiders casually. ”

Skaha added to the side.

"Is that so? Is that so, are those vampires really that troublesome?"

To the south of Schleswig, in the land of Saxony, there lived a group of vampires, who controlled the road south of Schleswig, and those vampires used to contact Dorengo at that time through the goblin Charle, but were completely destroyed by Alice, who had just arrived in Jutland.

It was precisely because of that harvest that Alice gained information about Torongo and vampires, and also harvested a group of high-quality vampire maids, and even Alice's body was improved a lot because of that interception attack.

"Alice, I know those vampires aren't a problem if you fight Skaha. ”

Regarding Alice's occasional childish appearance, Semiramis sighed helplessly, just like the parents of those bear children.

"But, do you think this is good? In this case, what's the difference between you and Atila, I don't think you want to provoke all the surrounding forces to unite to form a siege network and target us, right?"

"It doesn't matter, if we want to develop, the forces around us will sooner or later become our enemies, there is a word called long-distance and close attack, which is what we are in now. ”

"But breaking them one by one and maintaining a semblance of goodness will allow us to reduce a lot of unnecessary losses when we are in battle, and if there is a naïve guy like Ballusenger again, it will save us a lot of time. ”

Semiramis rubbed the temples on her forehead, trying her best to persuade her, she felt as if she had returned to the school days when she was studying at the magic academy, and every day she kept persuading Alice, who had no ladylike demeanor at all, to make her pay attention to her image.

"Well, I'll just listen to you, Semiramis. ”

"But if those vampires really don't know how to lift, then I won't show mercy, but Alika told me that there are some collections in that vampire family that I am interested in. ”

The last one is the main reason why Alice wants to do it directly, although violence can't solve all the problems, but it can eliminate the problems, even if the series of sequelae brought about later, it is only a small problem for Alice, who knows that the gods have no way to intervene in the main plane.

Problems that can be solved are never big problems, Alice has always thought so.

"Don't worry, Alice, the question of opening new trade routes is not so simple. ”

"In addition to dealing with that vampire family, we also need to select some people who can run the caravan. ”

"Whether it's a rhinoceros man, or a centaur, or a harpy, their character and abilities are not enough to be a good merchant, and I don't want our Jutland precious products to be sent back with a few words of rubbish. ”

"In addition to this, we in Jutland have no monopolistic goods, iron weapons and tools, and there are dwarves who compete with us, because they have abundant raw materials, ores, and craftsmen, and their prices are even cheaper, which seriously affects our profits, and as for the meat and milk products produced by Schleswig, the seafood produced in Jutland is only needed by the tribes of the north, who have suffered from war and snow. ”

Alice nodded thoughtfully, she looked at Skaha and asked.

"Skaha, do you have any thoughts on this?"

"I don't have any ideas, I'm a warrior, I only fight, how to govern a country, how to run a trade route, how to develop the economy, it's not what I'm good at. ”

Skaha shook her head, indicating that she didn't have any good ideas.

Alice looked at Semiramis again, then quickly looked away, waving her hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Okay, okay, I think, I'm going to think, it's okay this way. ”

"Talent can only rely on accumulation, those vampire maids, a little training, to become a qualified businessman, it should not be a problem, more importantly, they have absolute loyalty to me, if they come to master the business, it can also reassure us. ”

"Well, if we talk about specialties, we don't seem to have many Jutlands, but they can be developed. ”

Once again, she looked at Semiramis, and her eyes were already full of confidence.

"If we follow the plan we have made, Jutland should now have its own specialty, maybe not a monopoly, but there is no doubt that it is definitely a stable and profitable commodity. ”

"According to the previous plan, Semiramis, you should have established our Jutland power in the Baltic Sea by now...... Don't look at me like that, I know it's my fault that I always throw everything about Jutland at me and delay the plan. ”

Halfway through the sentence, Alice retreated in defeat under Semiramis's gaze, and had to admit her mistake.

"Now that I'm back, I'll leave the work of Jutland to me, Semiramis, and now that the sea is frozen, you go into the sea and find a way to subdue a tribe, whether it's a sealman, a fishman, a naga, a kraken, a mermaid, or a whale man, as long as it's a tribe. ”

In the north, as long as the cold winter, the Baltic Sea will form a thick layer of ice, those hard ice, cut off the connection between the sea and the land, take advantage of this time, Semiramis can unknowingly expand her power in the sea, waiting for spring to come, the glacier melts, everything has become an established fact.

"When the time comes, in addition to the fish, the magical materials in the sea will completely become our unique commodities in Jutland...... At least in the north, we can have a monopoly, especially with things like pearls, which are really coveted spell casting materials for shamans. ”

In the north, the most casters are not wizards, nor sacrifices, nor druids hiding in the forest, but shamans among various tribes, even if the gap between them is very large, the strong have legendary strength, and the weak can only rub out a fireball at most.

And these shamans, when casting spells, must use a material, is bone meal, all kinds of bone grinding powder, and the better the bone powder, the more powerful the increase in magic, just like the white bear shaman Alice once saw, can use the white dragon bone powder to cast a spell, with the strength of the legend, to hit an adult white dragon.

Pearls, whole pearls, are excellent materials for spellcasters, and when ground into pearl powder, they are equally precious to shamans, and in the northern tribes, a small bowl of pearl powder can be exchanged for a wagon of leather, or ten pregnant ewes.

After all, a small bowl of pearl powder is enough to support a shaman to cast the spells needed for a battle, and it is also enough to change the outcome of a battle.

"Don't you have to wait for me to finish my mirror practice, if you teach me, I'll be able to master that thing in no time." ”

"No need, Semiramis, you are not me, even if you have mastered the mirror technique, but in your state, maintaining it for a long time will cause irreparable wear and tear on the body, especially the spirit. ”

If it weren't for the [Book of the Dead] in his mind, if he didn't have that trace of knowledge and divinity hidden in his blood, even Alice would not have been able to learn that magical spell, and then with the principle of that spell, he drummed up this specious lich body.
