Chapter 946: Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce
Although the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce is only a commercial organization, it has a knight group of 5,000 people, all of whom have the strength of level 10 or above, and in addition, there is a group of more than 300 mages, all of whom are composed of elite magicians above level 15, which is said to be no worse than the mage group of the Orlana Magic Association.
These two powerful escort forces guard the huge wealth of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time, they also guard the city of Rafalia and maintain the order of this commercial center. The many chambers of commerce gathered here are therefore under the protection of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, and they don't even need to hire guards themselves, and they don't have to worry about the looting of any thieves.
Lin Li had been in the Breezy Plains for two or three years, but this was the first time he had come to the famous commercial center of La Falia, and Gavin was a frequent visitor to the Tower of Dusk because he was in charge of the commercial affairs of the Tower. This time, at Hoffman's invitation, in addition to the two undead servants around him, considering that he also had to negotiate in-depth cooperation with the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, he also brought Gavin and Bereka with him.
As the largest commercial center in the Breezy Plains, Rafalia is a completely different city than any other city. First of all, there are no large farmlands and scattered farmsteads outside the city, but instead there are neatly arranged temporary warehouses and freight yards, in which a large number of porters are busy loading and unloading goods. Caravans, loaded or unloaded, drove methodically along the well-paved roads in all directions.
The first impression is that it is clean and tidy, and the main road is smooth and wide, which can accommodate eight horse-drawn carriages in parallel, so although there are many pedestrians, it does not seem dense and crowded. On both sides of the road are neat shops, ranging from the most common fruits and vegetables to expensive magical equipment and magical items. Of course, in this city that gathers more than half of the wealthy people in the Breeze Plain, inns and taverns and Fengyue places are also indispensable. Even Lin Li saw that a Dawn Church belonging to the Temple of Light, but looking at the appearance of the door, I am afraid that it did not attract many believers.
Lin Li did not go straight to the headquarters of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, but first went to the branch of the Tower of Twilight in Rafalia City, and then sent someone to the headquarters of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce to say hello in advance and tell him when he was going to visit. This is not a kind of rudeness to put on a stand and rush to the door, so that the other party has no time to prepare.
In the afternoon, when it was almost the appointed time, Lin Li took Gavin and Boleka and two undead servants to the gate of the headquarters of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce. What Lin Li didn't expect was that although he was a little earlier, Hoffman was already waiting there with someone.
"Master Ferry, knowing that you accepted the invitation, I was so happy that I didn't close my eyes for a few days." Hoffman jokingly said as soon as they met.
"You are so gracious, and I am honored to receive your invitation." Lin Li smiled and said politely.
Although there are explainable reasons for not standing up firmly in support of the Tower of Dusk when he was in Grand Town, Hoffman was still somewhat embarrassed when facing Lin Li. Seeing that Lin Li's expression didn't mean to care, Hoffman relieved himself, and then introduced several shareholders of the Chamber of Commerce behind Lin Li.
"This is the second largest shareholder of our Chamber of Commerce, the patriarch of the Lakeman family, Master Thomas." The first person Hoffman introduced to Lin Li was an old man with a white beard, a red face, a sturdy body, wearing a black star and moon robe, and exuding a legendary-level powerful magic power fluctuation all over his body.
"Hello, Master Thomas, it's an honor to meet you." Lin Li greeted politely. Although he had never met Thomas, he had come to the Light Wind Plains for two or three years, and he had already heard of this legend of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce.
Thomas. Lakeman, the former president of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, has great prestige not only in the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, but also in the entire Light Wind Plain.
When Rodhart, the Knight of Damnation, led the Death Knights to wreak havoc on the Plains of the Breeze, in the face of the invincible terror, many legendary powerhouses chose to retreat in order to protect themselves. In their opinion, those below the legend are like weeds, even if they are burned by fire, sooner or later they will grow again.
Thomas, who had just stepped into the realm of legends, joined forces with several legendary powerhouses and fought several fierce battles with the Death Knights, and then fought with them on the Plain of Light Wind for a long time until Rodhart was purified by the prophet Viren. Although they were not able to prevent the catastrophe from happening, they did save countless lives in the disaster. Among the people who were rescued, many talented people later joined the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, which made the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce have a blowout development after the disaster, directly establishing its peak position in the Light Wind Plain.
And when Hoffman came to prominence, especially after showing his superb business talent, Thomas was even more unselfishly reluctant to give up the chairmanship. And the facts have proved how wise Thomas's decision was. Under the leadership of Hoffman, the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, whose development had almost come to a standstill, once again ushered in a development of the first and truly jumped out of the limitations of the Light Wind Plain.
Thomas smiled and said, "President Ferrey is polite, President Hoffman has told us a lot about you, especially your pharmacy skills, and I have wanted to know you for a long time. ”
Then there is the third largest shareholder, a middle-aged legendary sword master, the patriarch of the Barton family, Jereni, although he looks more like a magician on the outside, but he has an aura of iron and blood. It is said that this Jereni Sword Saint is not only powerful, but also a legion commander of the Kingdom of France with extremely high military talent, and the Heavenly Fire Knights of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce were trained by him.
The Light Wind Plain is known as the Land of Chaos, and the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce has been able to develop to such a scale as it is inseparable from the leadership of the president and the high-level leaders, but the Heavenly Fire Knights, who are responsible for the protection duties, are also indispensable. In the entire Light Wind Plain, there are countless large and small forces, but with a regular elite knight order as a guard, I am afraid that there is no second one except the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce.
An elite knight order composed of five thousand knights with ten-level strength and above needs to invest enough money every year to bankrupt a medium-sized force, and only the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce can afford such a huge investment. Even the top forces in the Light Wind Plain, such as the Mithril Alliance and the Blood Moon Society, were reluctant to raise such a large knight order.
And in the history of the development of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, the performance of the Heavenly Fire Knights is indeed worthy of that huge investment. Once, in the south of the Breeze Plain, there was a large bandit called Blood Hell, which recklessly plundered all the caravans that passed through their territory, and even once attacked the southern city of Sardin and ransacked the city lord's mansion, killing the city guards and fleeing. However, the Blood Prison Thieves should not have stirred the mind of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce.
In that battle, the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce only dispatched 2,000 Heavenly Fire Knights, and Jereni, who served as the commander, divided the 2,000 men into two, and in the head-on battle with the Blood Prison Thieves, only 1,000 knights were invested, and the other 1,000 were responsible for chasing and killing the remnants of the enemy on the periphery. The 30,000 Bloodpin Thieves were overwhelmed by a thousand Heavenly Fire Knights, and were finally wiped out in the plains, which later got its name, the Scarlet Swamp.
Outside of that battle, no matter what the bandit was, as long as they saw the emblem of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce in the caravan, they immediately fled as far as they could. And the Heavenly Fire Knights of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce are also famous in the Light Wind Plain, and many forces that once laughed at the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce for being an upstart act, but at this time, they were all crazy with jealousy.
The fourth major shareholder of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, the legendary mage Alvin, is also a remarkable figure, not only has legendary strength in magic, but also is an extremely rare inscription master. Alvin's attainments in the field of inscriptions are second to none in the entire Breeze Plains, and most of the high-grade magic patterns used in the products of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce are from his handwriting.
Alvin didn't have a huge family, nor did he have a lot of wealth, and he was able to become the fourth largest shareholder in the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, relying on this superb inscription technology. It is said that even the identification magic pattern on the crystal card issued by the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce was researched by Alvin based on the technology of the High Elves, and no one has been able to crack it until now.
Lin Li has a VIP card of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce in his hand, which was given by Hoffman at the beginning, and he has naturally studied the identification of the magic pattern of the crystal card for a long time. Of course, with the level of inscriptions, it is still possible to crack the magic pattern of the crystal card, but there is no need for that. However, from the complexity of the magic pattern, he could also see that the inscription master who drew such a magic pattern was definitely more than a step above the inscription master Mo Ke sent by the Supreme Council at the beginning.
Hoffman owns half of the shares of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, and the other nearly half is owned by the three major shareholders. However, in addition to these three major shareholders, the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce also has six minority shareholders, who together account for less than one-tenth of the Chamber of Commerce's shares. However, these six minority shareholders are not to be underestimated, although they may not have invested much money in the Chamber of Commerce, but each of them also has legendary strength.
One by one, they got to know the shareholders of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, and under the leadership of Hoffman, the group walked into the door of the headquarters of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce. Outside the gate, the passers-by and the people who came to visit stood there stupidly, unable to accept the scene for a while.
Hoffman, the president of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, although not the entire owner of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, also controls nearly half of the Chamber of Commerce's business. At the same time, he is also a powerful sorcerer, a master of potions, no matter what his identity, he is definitely admired by thousands of people in the Light Wind Plain.
But now, Hoffmann, who is so prominent, is so enthusiastic about a young magician, so what is the origin of that young magician? Soon someone recognized Gavin and Bolekka, the two high-ranking members of the Tower of Dusk, and the thought of these two following the young magician in the footsteps, the identity of the young magician seemed to be revealed.
"Could that be the young leader of the Tower of Twilight? It's really young, it looks like he's in his early twenties! Someone said incredulously.
"The Tower of Dusk is amazing now, who knew the name of the Tower of Dusk two years ago, but now ......" The matter of the Tower of Dusk is now also a legend on the Plain of Light Wind, and the young president who stepped into the realm of legends at the age of twenty, the miraculous rise speed immediately attracted a burst of discussion among everyone.
Especially not long ago, the Tower of Dusk faced the suppression of almost the entire forces of the Light Wind Plains, and almost everyone thought that the Tower of Dusk was going to be finished. However, no one thought that it seemed that the sky in the Plains of Light Wind had changed overnight, and I don't know how the Tower of Dusk had a relationship with the mysterious and terrifying Ash Warlock, and actually got the protection of the Ash Warlock. As a result, the Tower of Dusk still stands in Doland, and the alliance formed to suppress the Tower of Dusk has silently disintegrated.
Not to mention what the people outside were talking about, Lin Li, led by Hoffman, came to the living room inside, and everyone sat down separately. After a bit of hustle and bustle, everyone's conversation began to turn to the main topic, that is, the in-depth cooperation between the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Tower of Dusk in the future. Of course, at this time, they only expressed some intentions for in-depth cooperation, and the specific details of cooperation in all aspects will have to be negotiated separately between the two sides.
In the evening, in order to welcome the arrival of Lin Li, the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce specially held a grand dinner, and invited some people from the city of Rafalia to attend. However, in this commercial capital, the so-called people with sufficient weight are also representatives of the giant business chaebol. The dinner lasted until late at night, and Lin Li, who was the president of the Tower of Dusk, didn't have much other feelings, but he felt that this time he had listened to all the compliments of his life, and fully appreciated what a businessman's clever tongue was.
After the dinner, Hoffman took out the potion recipe that made many potion masters helpless, and asked Lin Li about the problems that had plagued him for a long time in the potion formula. In addition to Hoffman, there are also three major shareholders, Thomas, Alvin and Jerene, although they are not all interested in pharmacy, but no one wants the pharmaceutical formula purchased with a lot of money to be treated as a piece of waste paper.
