Chapter 248: A Thriving Extraordinary Chamber of Commerce
The extraordinary white two-story courtyard in the rubble area is brightly lit.
There will be no classes tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and the next two days will be days off.
It's a rare gathering of the quartet for dinner.
The elf girl Claire probably prefers to be close to nature, and Extraordinary went to pick it up in person without success.
Since almost all of the Extraordinary Chamber of Commerce was handed over to Gu Lie, this tall and thin man looked more and more erect.
Dark brown curly hair bangs, blue eyes are even deeper.
His mouth squirmed silently, and he occasionally took a sip of rich, hot coffee.
His favorite thief's leather armor outfit was also changed to the current black double-forked dress, and the white neckline was embroidered with red and gold winged holy sword emblems, making this pale thief look like a troubadour who grieves all day.
It was Francis, the fat thief, who came from behind, singing all the way towards the high-ranking thieves.
The strength of the troll Dosta has been found out in an extraordinary battle, and the combat power level of the real sixth-order great swordsman is still surpassed.
"Haha, you've been busy these days, haven't you heard? President Hogan once drove a steam locomotive to the central water pavilion of the Goddess Square after drinking! The gods can't be deceived, haha! I heard that this time the Hogan Chamber of Commerce is going to have a blood!"
Thinking of the last time I signed the insurance contract, I felt very relieved.
God shall not blaspheme, nor deceive, nor speak falsely!
"Hahaha, I thought you instructed Kling to manipulate this guy's locomotive!"
Francis grabbed a piece of earth dragon elbow meat in his hand, his mouth was full of oil, and he wiped his fat hand on his mouth, and said with a big grin.
"That's not it, by the way, after the delivery of the locomotives from the last auction, all the locomotive orders will be pressed back! Give priority to solving the needs of our Chamber of Commerce, as well as the orders from the Grand Duke's Mansion Security Department!"
The locomotive of the Fat Man and Dosta did not dare to slack off, although it was not as strong as the extraordinary car, but it was not the castrated version of the sale.
The order of the Sheriff's Office, the overall frame of the locomotive is only made of ordinary steel, and Cania special steel is enough to be comparable to the price of some mid-level magic materials.
As for the civilian version of the steam locomotive, the body frame was made of relatively inexpensive iron ebony.
The steam engine used to drive it was also an ordinary steam engine twice as large as an extraordinary car, and the maximum speed was only forty or fifty miles.
Of course, the extraordinary and Kling did not try to create a "steam car", the existing level of technology is quite attainable.
However, the steam car was successfully built by the Berman Chamber of Commerce five years ago, but it was not promoted on the mainland.
Bulky and unstable, five years ago, a steam car was equipped with a steam engine that was almost the size of the car.
Therefore, the steam car launched by the Berman Chamber of Commerce was only a little interesting to the military minister of the Kingdom of Orlanto in the end.
The most critical point is the issue of cost.
The weight of the cargo carried by the two horn horses almost requires two steam locomotives to tow it.
Steam locomotives eat water and gas, and wildebeest eats grass.
Steam locomotives need regular maintenance, and wildebeest sleeps in the stables when they get tired.
To some of the alpine cold, the water tanks of steam locomotives may freeze, and wildebeest have their own sweaters and leather jackets.
Therefore, although Clint said that steam machinery could replace all human power in the near future, and Extraordinary agreed with his idea, he still told Clint that he had said that it was the near future.
How long in the future, no one knows.
Moreover, wildebeest is only the basic foot strength and transportation capacity of ordinary people.
Like this poison bee disaster, the huge mobile tower outside the city is not enough to be driven by a giant steam engine, and the main strength work is still completed by a mid-level magical beast like the Earth Dragon.
On the whole, the magical civilization and the steam civilization coexist in this world, and the magical civilization is so advanced.
After dinner, the four of them returned to the living room, and Gu Lie held an account book in his hand and handed it to Extraordinary to check.
This is a book that even Dosta and Francis have never seen.
Sipping his coffee, Extraordinary flipped directly to the last page of the account book, and a series of numbers blinded his eyes.
"Well, Gu Lie, I don't know much about your mathematical abilities, but are you sure the numbers on it are true?"
"Well, all the entries here are calculated by the 'scholars' in the Chamber of Commerce, and I just summarized the calculations of each of the ten people!"
To be honest, when Gu Lie first calculated this number, he couldn't believe it.
The fat man was very curious about the dumb riddle between the two, and stretched his neck to look at the account book in Feifei's hand.
"Uh, 30,000 amethyst coins?"
The 30,000 amethyst coins were converted by Gu Lie, and the red pen was written in large drops at the bottom of the account book.
What I saw was more than three million gold coins.
In the outer city of York, a hundred gold coins can buy a two-story small white building.
The inner city is a little more expensive, and the most ordinary small white building is only more than a thousand gold coins.
"This, the Lord of Darkness is above, Boss Gu Lie, pinch me! 30,000 Amethyst Coins is 3 million gold coins, right?"
Glancing at the fat man teasingly, Gu Lie continued:
"This is only the three-month income of the Chamber of Commerce, and the more than 10,000 amethyst coins auctioned by the adult's 'steam locomotive' have not been counted!"
"Ugh!"
"In addition, the title of the earl of the fief of the lord, the opening of the chamber of commerce is tax-free!"
"Also, the grand butler of the Grand Duke's Mansion has re-signed the cooperation contract between the Extraordinary Chamber of Commerce and the Grand Duke's Mansion, and has given up two percent of his interests!"
It is said that blessing and misfortune are not a single line, but Gu Lie's major good news one after another still makes Extraordinary feel that the coffee in the cup is too sweet.
Is it over? Of course not!
"North Mountain, oh, it is now the Duke's Castle at the top of the Cordor Hill, and after the autumn harvest day, it will belong to the Lord!
This gift was a bit big, and it was given to the castle, and it also provoked the defense of the northern part of Yorktown.
Until the dead of night, extraordinary tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep at night.
Fame, fortune.
On top of fame and fortune, the Grand Duke of York made extraordinary double gains.
Even his youngest son is an extraordinary disciple.
If it weren't for the Archduke's beloved daughter, Uvana, who was a few years old, the Grand Duke of York would have been eager to marry his daughter to him.
In addition to His Majesty the King, the Grand Duke of York is one of the few bigwigs in Orlanto.
Why do you care so much about the extraordinary?
With the sound of "quack" of supper, the extraordinary fell asleep.
Unbeknownst to the boy, the Grand Duke of York, the master of Yorkshire, shirked the king's invitation.
Declined the invitation of a friend from a neighboring country.
The reason for all this is extraordinary, is it that those bigwigs are interested in extraordinary?
No, they're just hungry for extraordinary wine, extraordinary coffee, and even steam locomotives that have just appeared on the streets, making some of the giants salivate over the extraordinary.
The Seven Kingdoms of the Continent traced their origins, all of which slowly appeared after the division of the Romon Empire.
The Seven Kingdoms are all human camp countries, but they are of different races.
The kingdom of the dwarves and the kingdom of the elves are in the far northwest and southwest.
The remaining five kingdoms, among which are the papal states controlled by the Church of Light and Darkness, and the special existence of the Alliance of Free City-States.
Coffee and wine are just people's livelihoods, steam locomotives, but let the heads of countries see the figure of a fast and mobile steel cavalry.
