Chapter 70 Trade Cooperation!
Northland Tower.
When she heard a very rhythmic knock on the door, the Eye of the North slowly raised her head, and with a faint magic aura, the wizard's hand placed all the dossiers on the high shelf behind her, inside the elevated shelf was a collection of dossiers, on the side were the notes of many witches, and in the back were the books and materials kept by the council. The knowledge stored here is quite valuable, and its value may even surpass all the wealth of a kingdom, so this room is covered with fireproof and dustproof magic circles, and at the same time, it is directly included in the scope of protection by the huge magic lock.
"Come in."
As the voice of the Eye of the Northland sounded, a middle-aged witch with an old-fashioned and stern face walked in, she leaned over slightly to express her respect for the Eye of the Northland, and then put a thick text on the desk, and said slowly: "Your Excellency the Eye of the Northland!" This is the record of transactions with the South Coast in the first half of the year, including arms procurement, trade cooperation and fortification construction. ”
"In the first half of the year, our profit was around 300,000 Jindler, and the largest profit was the sale of extraordinary weapons to Modo City."
Hearing this, the Eye of the North Earth took Wen Jiàn and glanced at it, then nodded and said, "Very good." ”
The Council of Witches is quite rich.
However, they are also very short of money, because it takes too many resources to raise a witch, and the application for resources to build a low-level wizard tower within the Witch Council is filled out thirty years later. Although it has a large amount of land income in the Northlands, due to the large cost of internal research, in fact, the finances of the Witch Council have always been relatively tight. The fact that the profits from trading with Modo City are now equal to most of the territory's income makes the Eye of the Northland satisfied with his wise decision.
As long as this trade route can be maintained, the Witches' Council will be more and more well-funded, able to produce more gifted juniors, and have the spare time to build a new wizard tower or two.
"Your Excellency."
The middle-aged witch with a stern face took out another copy of Wen Jiàn and said in a deep voice: "This is the purchase order for the second half of Modo City, because it feels a little strange, so I will bring it over to you to take a look." ”
Odd?
Hearing this, the Eye of the Northland immediately took it and looked at it. At first glance, it didn't seem to be anything strange, but after comparing it with the purchase order in the first half of the year, she quickly noticed the anomaly.
There is a problem inside the weapons purchase order!
The Northland Witch Council has the ability to mass-produce +1 transcendent weapons, which is the accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years, and Modo City has always had a large number of weapon orders for the Witches' Council, and these mass-produced +1 transcendent weapons are sold to Modo City at a relatively cheap price, and the quantity has always been quite large, and it can be said that it is the largest arms transaction in the entire material plane, with more than 100,000 Jindeler transactions at every turn.
Sometimes, because the transaction amount is too large, Modo City directly uses unminted gold to pay for it.
The elite units of Modo City have been changing to +1 transcendent weapons in batches. The Northland witches knew this. But anyway, their relationship is good, and the council can make a lot of profits, so no one cares so much!
The problem is with the arms order.
According to the preliminary statistics of the Northland witches, the weapons purchased by Modo City are enough to arm most of the elites, and according to common sense, the demand for weapons procurement should decrease in the second half of the year. But in fact, instead of decreasing, Moduo City's arms purchase orders in the second half of the year nearly doubled year-on-year, and there are even signs of further additional orders.
That's not weird enough!
What's even more strange is that. In the first half of the year, most of the weapons ordered by Modo City were one-handed weapons and small and medium-sized weapons, but in the second half of the year, all the weapons ordered were medium-sized or above, and even included a large number of heavy weapons, such as two-handed swords, decapitation swords, two-handed axes, two-handed greatswords, heavy war hammers, large long-handled weapons, and so on. It seems that such weapons are rarely widespread in the army. Even adventurers don't use it much, but some races with innate divine powers like to use such heavy weapons.
There's obviously something in that!
But the Eye of the Northland doesn't have the idea of delving into it, it's just a +1 transcendent weapon anyway, as long as the Witch Council can make enough profits. After all, if this batch of weapons orders is next, their profits in the second half of the year may be directly doubled! She guessed that Sauron was planning to resell the weapon, but she couldn't guess to whom. It may be the power of the overseas archipelago, or it may be some other race, anyway, such a large number of orders in Modo City cannot be directly consumed internally.
"No problem!"
The Eye of the North raised his hand and handed back the order for the second half of the year, and said slowly: "Let the arsenal below hurry up, and some low-level witches will also assign them some enchantment tasks, and the profits can be distributed to them." Later this year, the Council of Witches will be mobilizing funds to build three more junior wizard towers, so there can't be any problems with this trade route. ”
When the middle-aged witch heard this, she immediately nodded and said, "Understood." I'll arrange it now. ”
The Council of Witches was originally a neutral organization.
For any neutral organization, self-interest is always paramount, and the rise of the Witches' Council is the inheritance of something that is not very clean, and right and wrong are far less important in their eyes than the pursuit of arcane truth.
"That's right."
Before leaving, the middle-aged witch turned around and said, "The envoy from Modo City came today to ask when Your Excellency will go to watch the ceremony, they need to prepare in advance." ”
The Eye of the Northland glanced up and said slowly, "I'll arrive a day early." ”
"I haven't seen Goliath for a long time, and I don't know how she is progressing, this girl has a stubborn personality in her bones, I hope her choice will not be wrong."
Sigh.
As a powerful legendary spellcaster, she has felt the fluctuations of fate.
A certain uneasiness made her aware of it, and it became more and more apparent, that it would be a terrible disaster, and even she herself sometimes felt powerless.
The stars dimmer.
The incarnations of the gods have begun to appear in the mortal world, and when the gods cannot be exalted, then the order of the mortal world will be strongly impacted!
………………
Mordo City.
Since the formation of the soldiers, there was a solemn atmosphere brewing in the entire barracks, and even idiots could feel that war was coming, and that the city of Modo was about to launch a war of external expansion.
Many of the people who were lurking in the vicinity of Modo were aware of this, but they were worried that they didn't know exactly where Modo would attack.
And when it was learned that Modo City was only dealing with the nearby indigenous tribes, many tense forces finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know when!
Modo City has become a force that scares them!
