"We have the control of the largest chamber of commerce in the eastern city [Pingdel], as well as the use and trading rights of its goods, venues, and transactions, because we can provide a stable platform for those merchants who join the [Pingdel] Chamber of Commerce, at least without worrying about being looted by other forces; Although Pegras has always been regarded as a chaotic country full of infidels, the people who live here are not undisciplined, after all, they know how to live longer. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The young knight named Kiprin said, holding a monitor in his palm that his attendant knight had handed him from the side, presumably with the corresponding conversation information and bullet points written in it.

"As one of the ununified planets, in addition to the current huge city, there are kingdoms and alliances built by ancient alien races with tenacious survival in various places, some people will choose to trade with those guys, but most of them will be sniped and intercepted, do you know why?"

"Because their enemies are nearby, right? There were many small kingdoms and tribes in Pegras, and most of them migrated to live where there was a water source due to migration and expulsion, and the result was a 'fight' between 'neighbors'. ”

Just like the human race in the past, in order to ensure their own safety, they will kill all threatening creatures; It's just that the aliens now have high technology, and I really don't know why they are so extreme.

I'm afraid those people are heretics too, right? And it's the kind of extreme heretic that is more terrifying than the infidels.

"That's right, they're crazy guys, and they're not afraid to offend the merchants who have given them weapons, and they're all trying to kill their enemies; As soon as the rival country is ready to bring in new supplies, they will find a way to kill those who are transporting them. ”

Kiprin also projected a picture of the caravan looted onto the table, full of corpses and charred rags, which was unpleasant.

The priests next to Yahui began to pray for the deceased in the picture, while Yahui continued the conversation with Kiplin.

"This means that if a bold merchant chooses to trade with countries or tribes in other regions, he is very likely to suffer heavy losses, right? The smart guy must have chosen to trade in this large urban area. ”

"That's a natural consequence, otherwise our huge city would not be seen as a 'representative of Pegraş,' and when you mention Pegraš, you outsiders will definitely think of our huge city over any other place, right?"

"There is no way, other places are either undeveloped or wars are raging, only this huge urban area is relatively stable."

"Those giant subspecies in the western city also have their own set of management methods, which I still admire very much, after all, they can suppress those trouble-making bastard alien races; However, our side has more advantages than that, because we are very good at dealing with cunning merchants, so sooner or later their lies will put them in a dilemma. ”

Kiplin, who said this, looked at Yahui directly, probably referring to the false information that Yahui gave him before, that is, the map that led people to a 'dead end'.

However, after the two of them met, neither of them raised the topic, which is a secret anyway.

"So what are you going to do? If you want to trade in our eastern city, you only need to pay a certain amount of taxes, and you will also get preferential treatment from the Chamber of Commerce. ”

Yahui knew that he had no choice, after all, if he rejected this deal now, he was afraid that he would have to run to the giant subspecies in the future.

Last time, the branch church mobilized a large number of priests and monks to solve the problem for the giant subspecies, but even so, those giant subspecies would not come over with gratitude and pay their respects.

According to Yahui's own investigation, the giant subspecies is not recognized as a manager in the western urban area, and the biggest reason is that its high 'security gold' is actually not much different from the 'protection fee'.

Those small groups of aliens can't help it; If they choose to leave this huge city and go elsewhere, they are only likely to be more ostracized.

"Knight Kipling, I don't think there's anything wrong with our side, and buying things through the Chamber of Commerce you control is reassuring."

"Really? That's great, and this kind of mutually beneficial behavior keeps us going with it all the time. ”

"I thought so too."

Yahui smiled like Kiplin, and only they knew what was hidden under the false smiles of the two men.

"Ahem, on the issue of taxation, we have investigated the recent transaction volume and amount of Pegras, most of which are generated in the western and eastern urban areas, especially the eastern urban area; Judging by the amount and the amount of tax collected, its increase has started to rise continuously in recent days, why is that? ”

The question was posed by the priest who sat on the right side of the table with Yahui, with a goatee and black-rimmed glasses, as he slowly handed the information to Kiplin.

The two attendant knights behind Kiplin picked up the document at this time, compared the contents of the tablet in their hands, and whispered a few words to Kiplin.

"Understood, Mr. Priest, the reason for our increase in taxes is very simple, because the foreign population continues to increase, and some malicious businessmen try to trade with us through huge price differences, because some fools have been deceived several times before, in order to reduce losses, we can only increase foreign taxes; I believe you are well aware that if the economy continues to collapse, it will not be possible to maintain the original standard of living in this urban area, which will lead to riots. ”

"I see, but if we want to trade with each other, can we reduce the amount in this regard?"

"Of course, no problem, if the quantity is large enough, the profit generated must be considerable; What's more important is that we plan to build a close enough business network with the Galactic Monastery, and I've heard that you sometimes promote the organizations you work with, right? ”

Yes, one of the priests to Yahui's left replied.

"As long as the counterparty has enough integrity, we will provide publicity on our side, not the kind of [Today's Sale!] Instead, it was more thoroughly advertised on the introduction page and the missionary books. ”

"It's really reliable, we Knight Sect need this kind of means to increase popularity."

Kiplin was intrigued.

Speaking of publicity, Yahui still remembers that the monastery used to advertise a special product on a certain planet, and that specialty was quite strange, it was a tentacle cake that could move, and as a result, the nuns at the advertising shooting site were ......

"Lord Kiplin, the tax problem can be reduced by at least thirty percent, and it can provide them with enough stable trading partners."

"Lord Kiplin, we have also done an advertisement on our side, and if it can be placed on the page of the Galactic Abbey, it will be the best result."

The two knights whispered to Kipling, both of whom knew the value of the deal.

But......

Although Kiprin knew the pros and cons, he was not ordered to cooperate with the people in front of him and to detect the enemy.

"By the way, what do you need right now? I can arrange for someone over there to prepare; As a quasi-knight, I don't have too high authority, but I can still do this thing, or I am responsible for most of the external affairs. ”

"In addition to the basic daily necessities, there are cement and bricks for building houses, and some glass products."

"Glasswork? Why glass? ”

"I don't know about this......"

Yahui really didn't know, but he could guess that it was what the researchers were going to use.

Investigate the artifacts left behind from this planet, as well as ancient creatures, broken ruins, etc., it's all troublesome stuff anyway.

"Okay, please contact us after the detailed information is sorted out, it will take some time to prepare anyway."

"No problem, Kipling Knight."

"As for what we said earlier about providing guards, tomorrow we will send men, twenty knights should be enough; Not long ago, those infidels attacked your courtyard so suddenly, and I am sorry that they did not report in time when there were other actions. ”

"It's okay, anyway, I barely solved those nonsense guys, and the funny thing is that some of them actually said that they were instructed by the Knight Sect."

"Is there such a hateful thing? We didn't have any thoughts about your hospital, and that's why we sent people here. ”

Kiprin feigned surprise and whispered to the nuns and machine girls behind Yahui.

"Ariel, that guy is really ...... beaten"

"Although it's true...... Whisper Otillia. ”

"My husband's patience is so good."

"Vera thinks the master is looking for an opportunity to break out."

Hearing the discussion of the girls behind her, Yahui coughed and signaled them to be quiet.

"Now that the problem is solved, it's not good to think about things that are unrealistic; In addition, I would like to ask Your Excellency the Knight of Kipling, is it true that you have a great knight who disappeared with people and goods while the goods were being transported? ”

"How did you get the news? None other than those pagans who like to gossip......"

In the face of Yahui's inquiry, Kiplin's expression became serious.

"I have to say that we don't know very well, it can be said to be quite an unusual accident, some people say that it was a miracle that took them away, some people say that it was a demon who devoured them, but we think it is 'Shen Yin' and 'Holy Devouring' These two similar situations."

"'Divine Concealment' and 'Holy Devouring'?"

Kiplin's words aroused the interest of everyone in the conference room, and the girls behind Yahui searched for memories in their minds, and they all remembered something.

Seeing through the minds of the crowd, Kiplin picked up his own words

"I'm sure you all know about the 'ghost species', and there are often sightings of them on the news, but most of them are false things to attract attention, but in Pegras, the ghost species actually live here."

Unlike the great gods and ancient dragons, the ghost species are known for their mysterious whereabouts; Legend has it that the ghost species can do magic, are good at making technology, like to devour souls, and play with other people's dreams, anyway, there are many legends, so many people are more concerned about the specific appearance of the ghost species than about the gods.

There are many adventurers in the universe who are searching for the existence of the ghost species, and most of them have come here, to Pegras, the ancient, god-blessed planet.

"The reason why we are certain that Pegras is inhabited by the ghost species is because there is a mural in the western part of the city with a description of the ghost species; They are spirits, beings who are not bound by physics or common sense, they resemble cloaks without flesh, but they resemble floating gnomes with short bodies. ”

Kiplin recalls what he had seen before

"However, there is no concept of 'group' in the ghost species, and each of them has its own appearance, like monsters, like humans, like flowers and plants, and the form is not fixed."

"I always think it's ridiculous, assuming that the ghost species doesn't have 'rules', how do they reproduce? There's no need to take your people, right? ”

"Father Yahui, didn't you remind yourself?"

"Ah......h

Yahui suddenly realized.

"Could it be that the reason why they gave us alien races to the 'Divine Concealment' and 'Holy Devouring' was to reproduce?"

"We suspect that the ghost species will devour souls and allow them to give birth to offspring in their bodies."

"It's like some kind of horror story."

"Let's stop here, we won't let the same thing happen again, and the goods entrusted to us will be well stored."

"I'm sorry for you."

Yahui nodded, not saying anything more.

"Now that we're done talking, let's rest; Kipling Knight, you must be a little tired, do you want to stay here for dinner? Stop by the branch church ranch. ”

"I don't have time in normal times, but I just finished my work today."

Kiplin agreed to stay for dinner, and he planned to observe the branch church.

Hearing Kiplin's answer, Yahui motioned for Vera to go out and prepare immediately.

Vera, who had received the order, bent down and left the conference room.

Vera was going to prepare dinner, but at the same time she had another purpose.

"It's done."

Vera ran to Ahui's room and shouted to the young dragon girl with headphones inside

"Miss Salom, how many knights are your 'toys' tonight, is that okay?"

"Huh? I can't hear you, but I see what you mean! Remember to let that stupid priest take a fancy view of my majestic side! ”

Each of them has plans in progress, but there is always one side that will suffer today, and most of them have already been decided, because the dragon has not moved for a long time...... It's time to stretch your wings. (To be continued.) )
