Before Eve completed the transformation, Xia Andia's production of magic guide ore was insignificant, after all, she couldn't smelt it, and the channels of Little Dragon Girl, Rowanna, or Zelder were enough to provide the best price magic guide metal.

Now it's different, the independent magic metal smelting technology is about to succeed, and with an independent source of ore, there is no need to accept the exploitation of merchants.

Looking closely at the list, Li Qi frowned. The price is not talked about, the quantity is too small. It's no problem to supply a few mage's labs, but to meet the needs of the mage industry, even Li Qi's original plan is several zeros.

"Our Xia Andia is very rich in magic mineral resources, otherwise Uncle would not choose to build a paladin home there. ”

Nicole's answer was very palado: "But the uncle regards mining ore as a practice of the holy warrior, as long as the fruits of labor can meet the daily needs of life, mining ore for the greater good will make the paladin deviate from the path of justice." ”

Cheyenne, what a god you are...... Menstrual illness.

Li Qi put his arms on the desk, crossed his hands to support his chin, and looked at Nicole with the expression of a million-dollar bushel creditor, but unfortunately he didn't wear sunglasses and didn't have a backlight, otherwise his aura would be perfect.

"Nicole ......"

Li Qi's affectionate title made the girl paladin have a complicated expression on her face, which was a little disgusting and a little expectant.

Just listen to Li Qi say: "Don't look at my territory is only open, but the scale is far beyond the imagination of your Xia Andia holy warriors. Your so-called business, to me, is the level of the commissary downstairs. I think you should visit our business center first and correct your position. ”

Nicole's expression froze for a few seconds, and then with a bang, she slapped Li Qi's table: "If you refuse to trade, you refuse justice! Don't you hear the hiss of your conscience leaking? The magic ore condensed with the sweat of the holy warrior cannot be refused! Of course, the price is negotiable......

"Sending off!"

"No, my caravan has brought not only ore, but also the specialties of Xia Andia! rye, red eggplant, fine alfalfa and rattan shoes woven by the paladin......"

The righteous maiden paladin merchant was dragged out by Elle, who was temporarily acting as a guard, and Nicole still pulled the door frame and shouted, and a gentle male voice stopped her: "Miss Paladin, I heard that you brought a caravan, why don't you go to our trade center to trade?"

Nicole finally stopped tossing and said suspiciously, "Your business center?"

Stan, the director of the Beta City Integration Department, showed a sincere smile: "Yes, it is not officially open yet, and Miss Paladin is expected to be the first guest to make a big deal with our Beta City." ”

In another part of the city, surrounded by a wall of thorns, in a huge circular square, looking at the patches of shops and signs that surround the square, Nicole was stunned for a while before she came to her senses.

Take a look on the left, the grain and agriculture fruit and vegetable area, the fresh poultry and animal area, and the seedling and grass area......

Look at the right, cotton and linen leather area, quilt clothing area, textile packaging area......

Looking ahead, the magic tool area, the magic guide material area, and the magic weapon area......

After looking at it, the transportation area, the life department store area, and the building materials decoration area ......

Each area stretches out into deep laneways, signs stand like trees, and people are constantly busy. Around the square, on the tracks that go down the tunnel, wagons several sizes larger than minecarts are piled with goods.

Looking at more than a dozen trucks in a row, carrying full grain bags with the word "rye" written on them, roughly calculated that each truck has at least one ton, Nicole's eyes straightened.

Cheyendia also produces grain, but not only is the variety of varieties of grain inferior, but the quantity that can be used for export is very small. This time, she came to Beta City to transport hundreds of kilograms in order to make the goods a little more varied. Twenty kilograms per bag, twenty or thirty bags, in the settlement of the Divine Fall Plateau, such goods are enough for large quantities.

Of course, it's the former Godfall Plateau......

Stan asked, "Miss Actor, what goods have you brought? Bartering is also possible, can you show me the list?"

"Uh......"

The young holy warrior who has always been righteous has a weak heart, and timidly reports the largest amount of magic guide ore.

"Seven varieties, each less than a ton?"

Stan said in a regretful tone: "The Trade Center is a bulk goods trading area, providing wholesale services for the various settlements on the Godfall Plateau for living and production materials, Miss Actor, your goods have not yet reached the minimum amount required for wholesale transactions, so they can only be traded in our Adventurer Center." ”

"I ...... I'm here on behalf of Cheyendia!"

Nicole lowered her head to hide the blush on her face, the scale of the goods that was being handled in this huge square had caused terrifying critical damage to the justice she upheld for the part of the merchants.

She had never seen such a terrible ...... in the bazaar of the royal capital of Koster Justice.

"Ah, that's no problem, although the amount is a little less, after all, it is on behalf of the settlement, and the honor of the first guest of the Beta City Trade Center is awarded to Cheyendia. ”

Stan's tone was still gentle, but to Nicole's ears, it seemed like a sharp sarcasm: "Isn't there a thousand people in Xia Andia? ”

The Maiden Paladin was undergoing a baptism on an unprecedented scale in the Trade Center, and even if Richie hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could have expected her expression.

The Beta-City Trade Center is an intensive mode of trade that has never been seen before in Finn's mortal world.

As with the power structure of the world of Fein, the trade in goods related to civilians was scattered among the merchants of the various kingdoms and principalities. And the trade in goods related to the transcendent is scattered among the merchant federations, the loyal gods, and the transcendent classes of various countries.

This is the first time that a huge bazaar like this, in order to facilitate trade, improve efficiency, and open up the needs of the common people and the extraordinary class, has appeared in Finn. Even if it is a fragrance with a population of one million, material exchanges are also part of the distribution of power, and the white-robed people of the Purple Mountain Loyalty Church are very democratic in this regard.

The creation of such a commercial center is to serve the development goals of Beta City.

The vast area of the Divine Fall Plateau has attracted countless adventurers to set foot in. Just in the north, this area close to the kingdom of Koster, in a year, the floating population is not 100,000, but also 70,000 or 80,000.

The floating population will precipitate the permanent population, not all adventurers are keen on visiting the dungeon, digging up the high-risk and high-reward business of the dark elf ruins, just like the gold rush in the earth world, there are countless hoe sellers, lunch sellers, garbage pickers behind the adventurers, and even many civilians who just want to find a commoner who has no lord or priest to live a peaceful life.

In the past, the public trial only put up leaflets on a few major transportation routes, and within a few days, four or five thousand people were recruited, indicating that the area already has a considerable number of permanent residents.

The scale of the settlement formed by these people will certainly not be as large as that of Xia Andia. That is, dozens of people and hundreds of people live in houses. When Tina and her team explored the area, they found hundreds of these small settlements.

These settlements are located in very harsh environments and difficult living conditions, but they have unique outputs, otherwise they would not have settled.

The trade centers of Beta City will connect these settlements through the trade of goods. It is not to absorb the population of the settlements into Beta, but to support the development of these settlements.

The future of Beta City will not only be a large city with a population of more than 100,000, but also a central hub that supports the entire northern part of the Godfall Plateau, allowing this area to accommodate a million people.

This is a pioneering move far beyond the Holy Light Castle and Xia Andia, and it is one of the foundations for the Fei Communist Party to build the Divine Fall Plateau into a country of Datongism. The princes of Koster, the paladins of the Divine Court of Loyalty, and the paladins of Cheyendia were not high enough to understand such a cause.

Shengguang Castle is digging up the corpse of Rose on the Divine Plateau, Xia Andia is surviving on the Divine Plateau, Fei Gong, is building a revolutionary base on the Divine Plateau!

Of course, the revolution is a long way to go, and it is only the beginning. Moreover, it is not enough to rely on the business center alone, the study class that absorbs immigrants from all over Finn, and the adventurer center that is purely for the transcendent, these three points are the key points that Beta City is promoting at the same time.

In the initial stage of such a plan, what is most needed is a stable external environment. If this area becomes a protracted battlefield of blood and fire, it will be troublesome, and if you want to fight, you can't fight on the reserved land.

After driving Nicole away, Richie kept his shredded posture and kept contemplating.

Xia Andia, can't be gone......

Cheyenne can't die......

This neutral force is about to disappear, and there is no room for maneuver on the side of the Holy Light Castle and Beta City.

Leaving the Holy Light Castle alone, those people will definitely not sit idly by and watch the development of Beta City without the constraints of the Holy Warriors, which is a huge hidden danger. If you directly pull out the Holy Light Castle, you will not only have to pay a huge price, but you will also face a counterattack from the Koster Kingdom and the Loyal God Court. It's still in the infancy of Beta, and there aren't many resources to deal with it.

Li Qi was suddenly a little worried, and he didn't know what the result of his previous counterattack against Xia Andia was. If the contradictions between the two sides are intensified, will the Holy Light Castle move to completely solve Xia Andia's mind?

The Holy Light Castle has already suffered a big loss on its side, and it should be understood that it is impossible to solve itself immediately. But if you solve Xia Andia, in addition to the legend of Xia An, the sum of Xia Andia's men, women and children is only a thousand people, and it shouldn't take much effort.

In addition to the legend of Cheyenne......

Li Qi took a cool breath, and with just the most cursory analysis, he could see that Cheyenne was in danger.

Goddess of Fate...... No, the prophecy of Nesta Vicky, the witch of fate, is really possible to be fulfilled in Cheyenne!

Richie's concerns deepened a little later.

At another extraordinary plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Fee, after watching the illusion spread by the Holy Light Castle, everyone was indignant.

Aurora's body overflowed with a cold white light: "The holy warrior of Xia Andia still has such a face......! It's disgusting!

Gambit shook his head, as if he wanted to clear the image of the holy knight beheading the civilians out of his mind: "The performance of the holy knights at the public trial meeting is acting! They just think they can't beat us, so they pretend to bow their heads!"

"This should be another faction of the Holy Warrior under Cheyenne, and Cheyenne's control over the Paladin is very problematic", Tarence was very sober: "Didn't the cardinal already judge that there were different factions within them, so he made a vision of the Holy Light Castle to stimulate them?"

"I didn't expect them to be so radical, and I didn't know that their justice would fall on those civilians", Li Qi smiled bitterly: "Cheyenne is really sitting on an iceberg with half of her ass, and half of her ass blocking the volcano......"

He sorted out his thoughts and told everyone what he had thought before. Although a decision has been made, the principle of democratic centralism must be followed, so that everyone can fully understand it, and at the same time, they can get valuable suggestions and opinions.

The result was not surprising, everyone agreed with Richie's decision, and everyone made some suggestions.

Aurora said, "I want to do diplomatic work and suppress the arrogance of these holy warriors!"

On the public side, this matter is really worth considering, but on the private side, Li Qi is reluctant.

Wilson said: "While Prince Rimaco's seventy-fourth legion is still ten days away from leaving, why don't you take the ninety-eighth legion and organize an exercise to deter the Holy Light Castle and Cheyendia?"

It's a good idea to get started right away.

Tarence said......

The old man just felt that he should say something, opened his mouth, and found that he had nothing to say.

Coughed twice, and was about to make amends, when Richie's Bilibili Boy rang.

"Cardinal, there is a halfling who has asked to see you. ”

It was a round hook, and his tone was timid, probably thinking that what he was reporting was a bit of a fuss: "He has been shouting that the paladin in Cheyendia is dangerous, and he hopes that we can help the paladin." ”

Halfling?

Li Qi was suspicious, and the round hook added, "He said he has the inside information about the Holy Light Castle. ”
