Chapter 168: The Direction of the Road Ahead
"In general, although I am still a rich woman, I prefer a life of hunting."
Lily covered her mouth and smiled, driving away the awkwardness of the atmosphere.
Keida stopped blushing, and he said bluntly, "I really need money, I don't know... Alas~"
A thousand words finally turned into a sigh.
Lily looked at Kida, who had her head down, full of distress.
"Your instructor is quite rich, and she occupies nearly forty percent of the shares of the Basi Chamber of Commerce." Lily said confidently: "Speaking of Keda, if you really want to be rich, I can teach you a few tricks for free, not to mention surpassing the Basi Chamber of Commerce, it is more than enough to become the second largest Chamber of Commerce in the world!"
Keida didn't hear the next sentence, his attention was all focused on the previous one.
The Baas Chamber of Commerce?
I vaguely heard it from the grocery store owner or the drunk people in the tavern. At first, I thought the Baas Chamber of Commerce was like a grocery store or something, but now it seems to have a lot of origins.
Kida scratched her head and asked, slightly embarrassed, "So, Instructor Lily." What is the Baas Chamber of Commerce? β
Lily, who was still waiting for Kida's compliment or something, froze in place all of a sudden. She gave Keida a deep look, then looked down and thought back to how to give everything to a hunter who didn't know about the Bath Chamber of Commerce in the simplest and clearest language.
Soon, the super-clever Lily found a good excuse.
"The Baas Chamber of Commerce is a big chamber of commerce. The scope of his trade encompassed the entire territory of the Eastern Hured Empire; Trade items range from hunting items to super large munitions; Moreover, the luxury goods traded by the Baas Chamber of Commerce are among the best in the entire empire; Not only that, but the research and development capabilities of the Basi Chamber of Commerce are also among the best in the empire, and with unparalleled financial resources, they have successfully restored the ancient civilization warriors [Yaoguang...] from the ancient ruins of the stone slab, in short, the Basi Chamber of Commerce is very powerful! β
Shut up on some unspeakable secret, Lily paints a shadow of the Bath Chamber of Commerce to Keida.
Everything Instructor Lily said was big and empty. Kida had no idea how powerful the Bath Chamber of Commerce was.
Looking at Kida's scratching head and covering her face, Lily knew that she had spoken in vain.
So she covered her head again and meditated.
Soon, she had another set of rhetoric ready.
"Say, Keida. Do you know who [Caesar] is? β
Lily's words stunned Keida, but he quickly reacted.
"[Caesar], now Emperor of the East Hured Empire. He led his army to wipe out the [Dragon of Destruction] in the ancient capital of Shored, and established a powerful and prosperous empire. β
"He led the army? Hehe! β
After vigorously expressing her disrespect for the current emperor, she said to herself: "The dragon of the world, the black dragon. It was the former Wang Li Hunting Group and the Hunter Guild who joined forces to eradicate him! Forget it, don't mention this. β
Putting the bad memories behind her, Lily continued: "You say, Caesar, who has created such a great cause, is his life and safety important to the Empire?"
"Of course it is!" Keida cut the railroad, but his words were exchanged for Lily's banter.
Well, Keida pricked up his ears and listened.
Caesar's life was perhaps important to him. But for the Empire, it is not worth mentioningββββ if he suddenly dies one day, a successor will emerge to continue Caesar's unfinished business. β
"But I'm different."
After Lily said this, she stopped talking, and Kida's heart itched.
"Uh, how is it different?"
Kida, who couldn't hold it back, asked.
Lily held out a hand: "First, I have forty percent of the shares of the Bashi Chamber of Commerce, which controls the economic lifeblood of the empire: second, my shares come from my grandmother, inherited, and I have no husband or descendants. This shows that I have no direct heirs, and there are a lot of collateral heirs; Third, theoretically, if I have no direct heirs and suddenly die somewhere, my collateral heirs will theoretically have the right to inherit...... Did you know that once the stake is vacated, this wealth is enough for greedy people to fight to split the empire to take it into their hands? β
"At that time, the empire will be on the verge of falling apart..."
As she spoke, Lily moved in front of Keida at some point, propped up the bed with her hands, and looked into Kida's eyes from the bottom up.
Silky eyes.
Wait a minute!
Kida read something strange about it: if he had done something unspeakable to Lily just now, he would have somehow become a big figure in influencing the government and the opposition in the empire.
This role reversal seems to be a bit big.
But that's not what the simple Kida wants!
"Back to the original topic, Instructor Lily, are you very rich?"
Looking at Kida in front of her with a really serious face, Lily knew that her **** had failed.
"Yes, yes."
Picking up the mattress, Lily, who was super helpless, buried her head in the quilt.
"Do you know, then, how much it costs to hire an army to open the trade route from Mejpotan to Kantas?"
Lily, who kept rolling her eyes under the covers, stopped suddenly.
Kida, who suddenly appeared in the village of Millard, distant Kantas, and the pendant on Kida's chest.
Lily, who was extremely smart, instantly figured out what it meant.
For some reason, her voice choked up all at once.
"Although the Basi Chamber of Commerce is very rich, it is still a waste of financial resources to open up business routes."
She got out of the mattress, looked at Kida in front of her seriously, and said word by word.
"And according to the available information, the original market of Kantas is very small, and the benefits are not worth mentioning compared to the initial investment in opening up the trade route."
Businessmen are profit-seeking, and when you say that, it seems that there is nothing you can do.
Keida's eyes darkened.
"Of course, it's not completely impossible..."Seeing Kida's depressed look, Lily couldn't help but comfort her.
Kida looked at his instructor wistfully.
"In this world, there are many things that cannot be measured by money, such as precious stone tablets, and even more... A powerful presence. β
Eyes shine.
"If a five-star hunter comes and asks the Chamber of Commerce to do this, then the Chamber of Commerce will be willing to pay a lot of money to gain the hunter's favor..."
"And what I suggest is that you go and improve your strength, and then get the status of a five-star hunter."
"Then, trying to open up the trade route is just a snap of a finger."
Lily opened a spacious light path in front of Kida with her own hands, and it was Keida's task to capture him.
Having found the direction of his life, Keda was in good spirits.
