Chapter 225: Is the Chariot Going to Overturn? (4/4)

The news of the discovery of a giant demon-resistant clay mine in the Field Wilderness cannot be hidden, and it will be thrown into a small pond like a boulder, and the ripples will be transmitted in all directions at once. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

For ordinary lords, with such a huge amount of wealth, they will definitely be dizzy, and they will not be able to find the north for a while.

But Link was an accident.

In his eyes, gold is just a tool, and building a magical city, gathering a force that can protect himself, or even turn the situation around, is his ultimate goal.

He analyzed the situation very soberly, and then, on the day he discovered the Demon Resistant Clay Mine, he packed up his life, rode the Howling Wind Demon Tiger Doras, and hurried to Hot Spring City, the capital of the Norton Kingdom.

The benefits of the clay mine are too great, and it is impossible for him to eat it alone, and it is very likely that he will be strangled to death if he swallows it alone, and in the end he will not get anything.

Not to mention anything else, King Ryan will definitely find all kinds of reasons to ask for a share of the profits, because the kingdom is at war with the dark elves, and the military expenditure is very huge, and if Link doesn't do it, even if he is a master magician, the consequences will not be much better.

Taking a step back, even if he could keep this wealth, he would become notorious, and the notoriety of miser, miser, and so on would fly to his head.

Who will follow him after that?

After this series of considerations, Link took the initiative and arrived in the national capital before the news spread.

Doras is a high-level magical beast, so naturally he can't enter Hot Spring City.

When he arrived at Gwent Forest outside the national capital, Link asked Doras to stop: "You can play around here, don't go too far, I guess I'll stay in the city for a few days." ”

"Of course that's fine." Doras was overjoyed, as far as he knew, there were also tigers in the Gwent Forest, although it wasn't a whistling wind, but it didn't matter, the gap wasn't that big, hehe.

The guy walked away happily.

Link put on a cloak and walked alone to Hot Spring City.

When he arrived at the gate of Hot Spring City, Link saw a conspicuous conscription notice posted on the bulletin board at the city gate, and a large circle of people gathered in front of the announcement, and it could be heard from the accents of these people that these were outsiders.

Link paused to listen to them.

"I heard that Wang **** has won a lot of battles, and many civilians have been knighted."

"Isn't it? My neighbor village, the last time I returned to my hometown, I rode a tall horse, and the armor in that suit almost blinded my eyes. ”

"The King is generous. It's 2 gold coins in a month, and 5 gold coins for killing a dark elf, this business is dry! ”

After listening to it for more than ten minutes, Link felt a little thrilled, and he found that what these civilians knew was only superficial news, and they were all deliberately packaged, especially inspiring good news.

As for the news that 20,000 people were killed in the First World War in the North, the war was deadlocked, and countless bloodshed was shed, Link did not hear any of them.

Wang **** also uses a high amount of silver to attract people, 2 gold coins a month, 24 a year, and the king's army has at least 100,000, and the moon alone is 200,000 gold coins, plus grain and grass, equipment, death pensions, etc., which is a sky-high expenditure.

Link's heart was horrified, and he continued to walk into the city, and all kinds of voices came to his ears.

"Have you heard? How dare those dark elf mongrels resist? I don't know if I'm alive or dead! ”

"Don't worry! The Iron Duke will surely bring us victory, just like before. The Dark Elves are nothing but dying. ”

"Have you heard? In a few days, the dark elf slaves will be transported back, and I heard that those dark elf girls are white and jade-like, tsk. ”

"Have you heard......

All the way, it was a similar voice, optimistic to the point of being almost arrogant, confident to the point of being almost stupid, and completely ignoring the possibility of failure.

Link finally understood Ellett's concern, and his friend felt right, and the whole country was in a frenzy.

Link seemed to see a high-speed chariot with no road ahead.

He felt shocked, and when he walked all the way along the avenue to the gate of the palace, he felt a chill on his back, and when he reached out and touched it, it was all cold sweat.

It's not because he's timid, it's because he's too sober, and because he's sober, he can see a terrifying future, so he's afraid.

Link walked forward in a trance, when he suddenly heard a loud bang, and looked up, but he was at the gate of the palace, where the spears of the guards at the gate blocked his way.

"The palace is forbidden, no trespassing!" The guard frowned at Link.

Linka lowered his hood, revealing the fiery red halo of the flame master's robe, and said reservedly: "I am the magician Link, and I have asked to meet Your Majesty. ”

Link's appearance was too bluffing, and Link's name was also very loud among the Kingdom Guard, and the guard immediately saluted Link and said, "Master, wait a minute, I'll report it now!" ”

So saying, the guard hurried towards the palace.

Ten minutes later, the man ran back again, followed by a knight of the kingdom dressed as a royal guard, and when this man stepped forward, he was also taken aback when he saw Link, and saluted: "I am Olafor, the chief of the royal guard, master, you come with me, Your Majesty is already waiting for you." ”

The higher the level of the kingdom, the louder Link's reputation becomes, there is no way, a master magician who can control level 9 magic makes people feel shaken just by hearing it, let alone seeing a real person.

Link nodded, and walked behind Olafor into the depths of the palace.

Link had been to the palace once before, and this time, he had followed the familiar path until he reached the council hall where he had been.

There are two people in the hall, one is King Ryan and the other is the court magician Grinth.

After a few months, Link noticed that King Ryan had a lot of gray hair in his temples, his forehead was wrinkled tightly, and his whole person exuded an extremely tired aura.

Grimmt on his side was in a slightly better mental state, but his brow was equally furrowed.

Link's heart sudden: "It seems that the situation in the north is even worse than what Ellet said. ’

"Your Majesty, Master Grint." He stepped forward and bowed slightly, he was also a master of magic, he didn't need to make a big salute.

King Lane and Grint nodded in return, and Lane waved his finger at the servant next to him, who then moved a chair behind Lelink.

After Link sat down, a slight smile appeared on Ryan's face: "Master Link, I heard that you have been busy taking care of the territory, why do you have time to come here today?" ”

Link smiled slightly: "I came because of the territory. ”

As soon as he said this, Ryan frowned slightly: "What, is something happening to the territory?" Is there a lack of funds? ”

If it was before, Ryan would definitely be happy to support it, but now the situation does not allow him to do so, the war in the north is fierce, the kingdom's finances are empty, and he has no money left to support Link.

In fact, he is now having a headache for next month's military spending.

Link noticed the change in Ryan, and he was not surprised at all, the war was about money, and the northern battlefield had been going on for nearly half a year, burning money every minute, and it would be hellish if the kingdom could still have enough finances.

Taking out the clay sample from the space pendant, Link handed it to the attendant on the side, and then he said, "Your Majesty, these are anti-demon clays, which were found in my territory, and at present, there is a large stock. ”

"Huh?" Ryan's spirit suddenly perked up, and his originally slightly bowed back suddenly stopped a lot: "What did you say?" Have you found demon-resistant clay in your territory? And a lot? ”

At this time, the squire had already presented the clay to Ryan, who looked at it and couldn't see any way, so he asked the squire to give it to Grint on the side.

Grint took a closer look and confirmed: "Your Majesty, it is indeed the best anti-magic clay, and this kind of clay can be sold for 10 gold coins a ton on the market at present. ”

Ryan's eyes lit up suddenly, he looked at Link, and asked eagerly, "Master Link, you just said that there is a lot of stock?" ”

"Yes, it's currently estimated at 70 million tons." Link replied earnestly.

"Hiss~" Ryan and Grint both gasped, frightened by this number, what is the concept of 10 gold coins a ton, 70 million tons? Of course, the value can't be calculated so simply, but it's a huge asset.

But the problem then followed, because this Field Wilderness already belonged to Link, this was Link's land, and anything found in the Land Hill belonged to Link, and legally it had nothing to do with the kingdom.

Ryan felt a headache, he knew that there was such a treasure hidden in that wilderness, he would never give it away at the beginning, and now like this, it is useless to regret it.

Still Grint's mind was clearer, and he asked, "Master Link, who are you here this time?" ”

Link then took out the prepared documents and handed them to King Ryan in the hand of a mage, and said, "Your Majesty, this is a great fortune, and the kingdom now needs a huge amount of war materials. This is a transfer agreement, and I am willing to transfer 60% of all the proceeds of this clay mine to the kingdom as my support for the kingdom. ”

If it was peacetime, Link would only transfer 2 percent, and maybe even become a miser.

If it was an ordinary war, Link would transfer 4 percent. But having experienced the illusion of the future, he knew that this was a battle of light and darkness, and that the human race would be wiped out.

Therefore, Link handed over 6 percent, and he hoped that this money would allow Wang **** to hold the northern front, at least not to collapse too quickly.

King Ryan was suddenly shocked, his eyes flashed with ecstasy, but then he couldn't believe it, how could anyone in this world be so stupid that he was willing to take the initiative to hand over the gold coins in his hand?

Sixty percent, the four achievements of 70 million tons of anti-magic clay are more than 40 million tons of clay, and with this money, the recent military spending of the Norton Kingdom has been settled.

Although Link took out the paperwork and stamped it with his baronial stamp, Lane still couldn't believe it, and he said, "Master, what are you...... Isn't it a little more? ”

Although it is said that if Link does not give it, after he learns the news, he will still use various names, such as tax means, to pick out a large piece of income from Link's hand, but now that the other party is so simple, he feels a little embarrassed in addition to feeling unbelieving.

Taking the initiative to give and asking to give, this is not a feeling at all.

As soon as the other party gives it back, he will give sixty percent..... In fact, his highest expectation is 40%, because this is Link's territory in the end.

Link said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have experienced the Greenstone incident, and I know that in the eyes of those dark elves, the life of the human race is a weed. The war in the north is a matter of the fate of our human race, and we cannot afford to fail. My power is limited, and I don't have much practical support to give, but now that I have this clay mine, I naturally want to do my part. ”

Link's words are sincere, and it is also true that he took the initiative to sell a fortune in order to achieve stable development, and the two are not contradictory at all, and in Link's hands, they are perfectly blended together.

Then, Ryan was moved, he was really moved!

The icing on the cake will be delightful, but it won't be memorable.

At this time, the kingdom's financial crisis was great, and the north had recently lost a war, and the situation was precarious, so Link gave him such a big gift.

With this large amount of money, he can buy supplies from the southern countries, ask for assistance from Dawn Island, and even hire armies of various tribes to join the battlefield.

With this large sum of money, he has the confidence to continue this war!

Standing up from the throne, Ryan felt his eyes moisten a little, he didn't know how many years he hadn't felt this way, but today, for the first time, he said sincerely: "Master Link, kingdom...... I ......"

His voice was so choked that he could barely speak.

Link saw Ryan's feelings, and he said, "Your Majesty, the paperwork is the proof, and the first income will be generated soon. I'm busy with affairs in my territory, so I won't stay long. Retirement. ”

As he spoke, without waiting for Ryan to say more, Link stood up and prepared to exit the council hall.

Ryan was stunned for a moment, and seeing that Link was about to walk out of the hall, he suddenly spoke, "Master Link, wait! ”

"Anything else?" Link asked.

Ryan and Grint glanced at each other, Grint nodded slightly, and Ryan said, "There are some unexpected situations on the northern battlefield, and I think you need to know about it." ”

"Oh?" Link raised his eyebrows, he knew that this move of huge profits had allowed him to enter the core layer of the Norton Kingdom. (To be continued.) )
