Chapter Eighty-Eight: News from the Forbidden Demon Prison!
Everything in the city of Mordor was piled up with money.
Sauron has never pursued any luxury personally, and all the wealth he has accumulated is either used to increase his strength or subsidize the consumption of Modor City. Otherwise, Sauron would have lived a more luxurious life than the king, but as a high god, he didn't care about material comforts at all. In the future, as long as he enters the realm of gods, then Sauron can do whatever he wants, because there is a kingdom of resources for him to squander.
Three days later.
It was a very quiet day.
However, for the residents of Modo City, there are still many novelties today, such as a ship docked in mid-air on the dock. At this moment, the port of Modo was already surrounded by many people, not only the residents of Modo City, but also many merchants from the south coast and other places, all of whom were looking at the float in front of them with shocked faces. They weren't very new to it, because from a layman's point of view, there was a ship underneath the entire floatboat, but the sails had been replaced by balloons, and a propeller-like thing had been added to the tail.
Businessmen are born with a keen eye for profit.
Therefore, the first time they saw the floatboat, they sensed the huge business opportunities hidden in it, and then they each inquired about the high-level of Modo City through their own connections, and the officials of the city hall had already met several groups of people who wanted to give gifts to find out the news. In particular, some of the old chambers of commerce controlled by the aristocracy on the south coast directly asked whether this floating tower would be sold or not, as long as they were willing to sell it, the price was not a problem.
Business opportunities are only one aspect.
On the other hand, the forces behind the businessmen realized the strategic value of the floatboat.
Although this thing is far inferior to the floating tower in Modo City, if a battlefield can fly, and there are several cannons on it, it is also very amazing combat power!
At the very least, you can hang a lot of enemies in the sky.
The situation was even better than Sauron had imagined, as many people expressed interest in the float on its first day.
There are also nobles from the Chamber of Commerce in Arendelle who secretly say that they can buy it for a large price.
This time.
Sauron and Golia, who have been very short of money recently, have nothing to be polite about, and when they saw that the response was good, they directly doubled the price. A standard float boat retrofit directly requires 60,000 kindlers.
The net profit is about 45,000 kindlers!
Even if Sauron offered such a high price, the renovation of the floating tower still sold a batch very quickly.
The Northland Witches Council asked for one, the Wizarding Alliance asked for one (presumably to buy it back for research), then the nobles of Arendel customized three (the wealthy Arundel had many old nobles who had accumulated a lot of wealth), then an order from the Southern Duchy, and two orders from the Chamber of Commerce of the Eastern Countries.
Even, even the Chamber of Commerce, which was secretly controlled by the Principality of Rosad, secretly placed a batch of orders.
Sauron naturally won't get along with money, the technical content of the float boat is not high, and the core is still in the application of energy and the floating ring. Some of the technology of the Floating Ring has been traded, but the core materials for the production of [Thur Silver] are still in the hands of hands. In other words, even if the Wizarding Alliance and the Northland Witches Council know how to make a floating ring, they still need to buy materials from Modo City.
Don't worry about this, because the production of [Thoryin] requires the synthesis of things from the astral plane, and the output of Modo City is not very high.
At last.
It's the big head from the Church of Wealth, and Ms. Fortune is worthy of being the richest deity, and she directly placed a dozen orders. The twelve floats were 720,000 Jindler, and Sauron made a net profit of nearly 540,000 Jindler.
I have to say. High-end alchemy technology is really profitable!
On the same day, Sauron reached the order sent by the officials of the city hall, as well as the deposits advanced by many chamber of commerce forces, and the amount reached a terrifying amount of more than 300,000 Jindler.
As long as all the current orders are completed, Sauron will earn nearly 800,000 Jindler in one go!
It has far exceeded the taxes on maritime trade.
"It's a money grab!"
Sauron looked at the order statistics in front of him. He said to Gloria next to him: "If we continue at this pace, we will soon be able to scrape together the funds needed for the second phase of expansion." ”
Golia's expression was quite calm, and she said slowly: "The alchemy skills required by the floating boat are not high. ”
"The Northland Witches Council and the Wizarding Alliance will definitely copy it, and it will be a month or two at most. They will then be able to make their own floatboats. ”
"I'm afraid our future orders will only be on the south coast."
"In the future, the focus should be on [Thur Silver], and the production of the Floating Ring is absolutely inseparable from Thur Silver, even if they understand the technology. It is also necessary to buy Thurium from the city of Mordo. ”
Sauron nodded when he heard this, "That makes sense. ”
"But by then, the number of floats should already be quite large, and trade should have recovered by then."
Conservative estimates.
The study of the float can bring about three million Jindler to Modo City, and these are still in cash, and when the trade resumes, the taxes of Modo City will also begin to increase, and all kinds of benefits will be endless, which will greatly make up for the huge capital consumption of Modo City.
In fact, the Church of Fortune has always wanted to send money to Sauron.
It's just that Sauron doesn't want it, and with the money of the Church of Wealth, many aspects of Modo City must be given up, and Sauron definitely doesn't want the Church of Fortune to get involved in everything in Modo City.
Letting them develop in the harbor is already the limit of Sauron, and the interior of Modor City must be absolutely in his hands.
………………
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Sauron received a message from the High Priest that they had managed to get close to the location of the pirate island after defeating a group of sea behemoths. However, they have not yet landed on the island, because it has become the habitat of the Koutao Fishmen.
This is a large fish-man.
Some of the Koutao Fishmen stand taller than two meters, and they are far more difficult to deal with than the Darkscale Fishmen or other fish-man species.
If you look at the entire sea area, the shark people can fight it.
One of the messages sent back by the High Priest intrigued Sauron, which read: "My lord. In the vicinity of Pirate Island, I felt the magical power of chaos. ”
"It's not a dead demon zone, but I can feel a kind of forbiddenness."
"It's a bit like a lost lock, but it's impossible to know for sure yet, but low-level spellcasters can easily fail when casting spells here, as if there is a force imprisoning the energy here."
"I suspect it's the Forbidden Prison, but we won't know for sure until we get in."
