The biggest possibility is his own magic armor, because of the magic armor forging fee, the King of Steel Bones had to smash the pot and sell iron to make money, as soon as he thought of this, Reinhardt felt that he was extremely sinful, disturbing the life of the King of Steel Bones without desires.

But he really didn't overcharge for the forging fee, it was really the cost price, in the thirty years of forging process, I don't know how much the material is lost, and the time-consuming and laborious forging of the magic armor is not profitable, so I can't let myself lose money, right?

What's more, 500,000 gold coins is not a small amount for him, especially after being fooled by Luo Qiu into building the Tower of Babel on the steel bone collar, he feels even more unable to make ends meet.

The main body of the Tower of Babel is only 1.4 million gold coins, which is not a lot of money, but the problem is not to build a tower, all the supporting equipment must be rebuilt, which is equivalent to rebuilding a small town, otherwise, the Tower of Babel will not be able to live in the living.

The investment in these supporting facilities will be several times that of the main body of Babel, plus the reclamation of wasteland to achieve food self-sufficiency, otherwise the food problem alone can bankrupt Reinhardt.

It depends on whether the steel collar can grow things, and if it can't grow things, the grain can only be transported from outside, and the cost of construction input will be reduced, but the cost of operation will remain high.

Therefore, the road from the steel bone to the black rose should be repaired in advance, whether it is to transport grain or building materials, after all, the mage tower can not only be stone cement, precious wood, gold and silver ornaments, furniture, furniture, etc., all need different materials. But that's all after the main body of the Mage Tower was built.

Anyway, there are a lot of things, and Reinhardt is one head and two big, and in the end, he has to spend money to solve it. So the remaining 400,000 forging fees, Reinhardt will not lose a penny.

Feeling guilty in his heart, he answered the question much more refreshingly: "Of course, the channel of the Guild of the Dead is fine, but Your Majesty, the Guild of the Dead is just a loose organization, and all operations must be maintained by money, if it is used as a business channel, the cost will remain high." ”

"Oh, how does the Guild of the Dead work? I don't know much yet, tell me. Luo Qiu couldn't help but be curious.

The Guild of the Dead used to be the largest organization in the continent, much more powerful than the Mercenary Guild and the Thieves' Guild, they worshiped the dead, respected the King of Steel Bones, or were themselves undead creatures, through commerce and force as a link, formed a loose alliance of pan-continents.

Their organizational structure is very loose, any organization and individual can join the guild, communicate with each other, share information, guarantee transactions, and win-win cooperation.

There will be some large organizations and individuals in the guild, such as the Black Rose Mage Tower and Reinhardt, which have a certain prestige and credibility in their own right, and can become the main communication nodes in the guild.

The members of the guild can come to Reinhardt if they want to buy or sell anything, or find something to do, and he has a special person to receive the members of the guild.

If it is commissioned to forge or buy weapons and equipment, it is easy to say that Reinhardt himself is a master of forging, mainly engaged in high-end weapons and equipment. If it is low-end, then he also knows a lot of people, just send a letter to the members who are familiar with each other, and the two sides will successfully deal with each other, and charge an intermediary fee, about three to seven percent.

If the parties do not trust, the transaction can also be secured by Reinhardt, and the intermediary fee is raised to 5 to 10 percent.

Organizations and members with good relationships sometimes don't charge any intermediary fees, such as Reinhardt sending a message to a group, for example, if you need so-and-so materials, a bunch of people will come to supply him, and even if you don't have it, you will do your best to help find and pay attention to it, just to make a friend.

In addition to communicating with each other, one of the biggest roles of the Guild of the Dead is probably the release of information, such as the Black Rose Mage Tower is a relatively large information distribution point, because Reinhardt can use his soul to contact another undead creature hundreds of kilometers away and get the latest information from him.

Close-knit members come to the Mage's Tower to browse the latest information, or post through Reinhardt.

This feature eventually took shape as a ready-made billboard.

In a large house attached to the Mage Tower, Luo Qiu saw this bulletin board, which was all information collected from all over the world and listed through a reward.

For example, one of them reads: Purchase spiny sand lizard skins, long-term validity, large quantities are preferred, a twelve-gold coin, more than 100 pieces of fifteen each, more than 1,000 pieces negotiable.

The Thornsand Lizard lives mainly in the Thorn Heath, just a short distance east of the Mage Tower, and this acquisition message is for an orientation mission here.

There are also character bounties, such as: bounty for the head of the sand thief Blackbeard, and 5,000 gold coins. Looking at the bounty again, it turned out to be Reinhardt himself.

Luo Qiu couldn't help but point to this message and asked, "Who is this Blackbeard, and why did he provoke you?"

"Alas. Speaking of this Blackbeard, Reinhardt was angry:

"This is a sand thief active in the Thorn Wasteland, the number is only more than a hundred, their previous leader is called Whitebeard, once robbed our caravan of the mage tower, was killed by my people, the new leader has been eyeing me since then, as long as it is my convoy, it must be ambushed. ”

"As a result, I have to send a dozen mages and thousands of skeletons to escort a caravan now, and the cost of transportation has soared, which makes me angry. ”

What kind of sand thief is so powerful, dare to provoke Reinhardt? The fake Reinhardt is also a great magician, and he is also the owner of a mage tower, with many students and a complex network of relationships, as long as it is not a brain pump, he will not provoke such an existence.

"You still need a bounty, why don't you just go around the wasteland and hack them to death?" Luo Qiu asked with some puzzlement.

Reinhardt smiled bitterly: "I can't find them, they are as cunning as lizards, they come out from time to time to take a bite, and they don't know where to hide when there is a wind and grass, and if this continues, this trade route will be broken, and the cost of transporting things is too high, and the Tower of Babel may not be built." ”

"How can that work?" Babel Tower is not only Reinhardt's private property, but also an image project and model project of the steel bone collar.

What's more, for the sake of smooth trade routes, the Thorn Wasteland cannot tolerate the existence of sand pirates.

"I've taken this bounty, so get ready for the bounty. Luo Qiu said.

Huh? The King of Steel Bones even earns five thousand gold coins?

Evil, Reinhardt is going to die of shame, what is the status of the King of Steel Bones? Five thousand gold coins fell on the ground and they didn't bother to pick it up.

Now that he has accepted the reward, it is still only a reward of 5,000 gold, and if he was not forced to be helpless, he would not have lost his share like this. Reinhardt didn't think that Luo Qiu was afraid that the trade route would be poor, but thought that the forging fee forced Luo Qiu onto this road, and he felt guilty in his heart.

But forgiveness of the debt is impossible, and all Reinhardt can do is ask a few words, so as not to embarrass the King of Steel.
