"Chapter 69: Alliances Bring Business Opportunities"
Wren left, with great sincere thanks, and he took the bottle of holy water into his arms and hugged it tightly, like some kind of precious treasure. He can't agree to our proposals www.biquge.info but he can relay our words to Mondona's ruler Malte, and the consuls will consider the matter later. As for success or not...... I can't think of any benefit in them rejecting me in the face of obvious interests.
But even though I knew that holy water was a good thing, I still didn't expect that a bottle of uncompressed holy water taken directly from the holy water bottle would have such a big impact on them, and that guard officer's expression... It's really exciting to think about. And when I told him we had the ability to produce holy water in small quantities, he almost didn't jump! Anyway, he's a high-level fighter, can he use this?
It's not that I don't think the effect of holy water is good, after our tests, holy water is a healing elixir for both system soldiers and local residents, and it is also very effective for warriors and magicians. Warriors can use it to mitigate the negative effects of madness, and the mage I gave Ames a little of it, and he was full of praise for it, saying that a few drops of holy water can help a trainee mage recover from an overdraft. It is very beneficial for mana replenishment, and the purified and compressed holy water is also helpful for magic cultivation, but ......
When I thought of this, I suddenly found that there was nothing but, just the above is enough to make small and medium-sized forces blush, and large forces covet, not to mention that there are other roles of holy water in this world that have not yet been discovered, and the prospects are not generally good.
"Hey, if I don't have enough strength, so I show the holy water, I'm afraid people would have called over a long time ago." I laughed at myself, but I was still in a good mood, because only with enough strength did I dare to show this thing. Because I have the confidence, I have the opportunity to tap into business opportunities, well, now it's time to think about what price to give to the little old men in the council......
----- Mondona, the ruling chamber-----
''This thing, it's amazing. Fiddling with the crystal bottle in his hand, Sutton, the city defense officer, thought thoughtfully. ''yes, it's not only magical, it's terrifying. The half-haired Malte leaned back in his chair, his expression as if frozen. Wren stood aside respectfully, looking at the half-old ruler in front of him, who was a little thin but had a resolute expression in his expression. ''Marte, are they really as powerful as you see?'' Sutton put down the vial and asked suspiciously.
"Mr. City Guard, I assure you that everything is what I and all of us have seen with our own eyes, and I can't be wrong about what kind of strength they have." Wren solemnly assured.
"Well, it's the same with Doren in bikinis, with a large army, female warriors with muskets, and magical pink potions that have a very good healing effect. It looks like they belong to one camp. Malte analyzed, opened the vial in his hand, tasted a little, and then closed his eyes to feel it. After a while, he opened his eyes, and his pupils, which had been somewhat cloudy, became much more transparent, and his tired face was much more energetic.
"It felt so good, like a good night's sleep. It can have such an effect, it is better than I imagined, if it is a normal high-level warrior, only a small sip of holy water can restore the consumption of a battle, such a powerful life energy, it is really surprising. β
"What's even more surprising is that they are willing to give this to us, which is enough to show that they are very confident. But what exactly do they mean? Join us? Sutton asked, confused.
"It's hard to believe, but I can't think of any other reason why they're so powerful, and the forces of two people together are comparable to the entire alliance, and they want to join us. But in my opinion, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, at least in the short term. Of course, you decide. Wren took a sip next to him, and then stepped aside in amusement.
"Uh-huh......" Malt thought for a moment, then lifted himself.
"I think I guessed what they were trying to do." Malte said.
"Oh?" The other two came together, along with Duolun, who had been silent.
"For our resources, for our resources." Malte said seriously. When several other people heard this, they all looked puzzled.
"Our gold, our market, our original power." "It is clear from their situation that they are anxious to join forces with us and give us something so important that they need us to guarantee their development," Malte explained to several people. I believe that the forces behind them may be very strong, maybe some big power in the east, but they don't support them much now except for the military. It can be seen that these two visitors from the East have an insatiable thirst for gold coins, and have great ambitions for expansion, their strength and potential are so terrifying, but they still want to unite us, I think it is nothing more than three points. With that, Malte held out three fingers.
"One: Establish friendly relations with us, and get the basic resources and gold coins they urgently need from us when they have enough strength to deter us, and survive the period of rapid development. Two: Join the coalition and get a seat, which is also one of their requirements, and then gradually control the entire Free Cities Alliance with the strong strength and support of the residents, which will be very easy for them at that time. Three: Expand outward through the alliance's existing territories to achieve their ambitions and goals. We don't know much about them, but they know a lot about us, and if that's what I thought, the future of the alliance isn't up to us. β
Malte lowered his finger and the three of them fell silent, Malte glanced at them and relaxed his serious tone. "Of course, these are all speculations, maybe they don't have so many ideas, maybe they can recognize us, this is not a bad thing, not to mention anything else, the holy water alone can strengthen our strength very well. We have been suppressed by the Subic Kingdom and the Kuba Legion for too long, and as long as there is a chance to turn over, we cannot let it go. β
"Then you mean ......" Sutton looked into Malte's eyes, and that determination and determination appeared in that gaze again.
"Inform the other two consuls that I am going to convene a council of the three cities!" Malte stood up, his thin body looking particularly powerful in the eyes of the others.
ββββββ this is another five-day dividing lineββββββ
Five days passed, and the news finally came from the Free Cities Alliance, but the content was strange, they did not directly agree to our "proposal", but wanted to reach an alliance with us first, and they also asked if the holy water could be sold. The message given by the emissary was vague, but he said that the specifics would be formally met in three days' time, when envoys from all three cities would arrive to discuss our proposal in detail.
It wasn't the result we were looking forward to, but it was expected, so I agreed to the alliance's request. After all, the alliance is not stupid, and they will try their best to protect their own interests and will not let us "succeed". However, the news they brought is also very useful, especially about the trade between the two sides, we will have a meeting to talk about this, this is a great opportunity to sell our goods and dominate the Council of the Alliance, I will definitely not let it go, knowing that what I lack most right now is gold!
During these five days, our tribal town has also continued to grow, everything is in order and constantly improving according to our wishes. However, I also ran into a problem, and that was the base camp upgrade. Last time, Wren sent more than ii5000 gold coins, I was happy for a long time, and immediately smashed more than 1000 to strengthen the city defense, and built ten acres of fields, and I wanted to upgrade other buildings, but the system prompted me that the base camp level was insufficient and could not be upgraded! Even after the house is upgraded to level 2, it can't be upgraded to level 3, a base camp directly stuck my entire town development plan, and the base camp upgrade cost 2500 gold coins, and I only spent more than 3000 at that time. After upgrading the base camp, the remaining money is estimated to be enough to upgrade the private house, and nothing else can be done. This incident held my breath for a whole day, but in the end I upgraded, after all, the base camp is not only the core building, but also an important face project in the town, so it must be paid attention to (but also for the sake of living more comfortably)!
During the construction of the base camp, I was out hunting and playing, and by the way, I was doing well, and now we have a fairly large and high-quality army, plus I have been summoning hundreds of skeleton warriors to sweep through the outskirts of the Subic Forest for a while. Not only did we kill a lot of high-level Warcraft, we collected a lot of valuable fur materials, but we also enriched our beast pen with suitable low-level Warcraft and beasts. The most interesting thing is that we met the unicorn that we used to fight the robbers again! Ron was stunned when he saw this "old friend", and his expression was really funny. Of course, the Mosenmon did not escape our clutches, we brought it back to the Tibetan Soldier City, although the corral could not be domesticated, but we had the means to make it succumb, and eventually it became one of us, in charge of guarding the gates. Sometimes I really envy the protagonists of the novels who can domesticate the monster with a pat on the head with a contract, and can enslave the little brother by signing a contract, but unfortunately Ron told me that he has never heard of such a magical thing, and at most enslaves a low-level monster, which is of little use to us.
The area of the upgraded base camp has basically not changed, but the house is higher, the architectural style is still magnificent, but the appearance is better decorated, the roof is larger, and the simple structure has become a lot more refined.
The inside of the base camp is also more spacious, mainly because the walls have been raised by more than a meter. The tables and chairs have a new look, and the workmanship of the wooden furniture is also better, and the surface is straight and shiny. There are a lot more amenities in each room, and the practicality and aesthetics are greatly enhanced, and I think that one day I will use the flush toilet.
I was planning the construction of the town, calculating the need and priority of upgrades, and waiting for the gold to arrive, waiting for the first grain to be produced in the farmland. At that point, my expansion plan will be ready again.
I should think about what else we have
Something can be sold to the Alliance......
γDing! Congratulations to the No. 2 host, Dong Tuhao, for understanding the system and successfully upgrading to level 3, and I hope that all hosts will continue to work hard. γ
"Oh, the local tyrant has also been upgraded, it seems that only Zhao Tiantian is left, and we are all level 3. Hey, I don't know what they're doing at this moment? Damn it! It's a pity that the gold coins are not enough, otherwise I would definitely have a private chat with Fang Zi for a while. β
