In the palace of Saxony, the old king Rodlan is sitting on the throne and tapping his fingers on the armrest of the throne in confusion, and the ministers below are divided into two major factions and fiercely arguing, and the focus of the dispute is around the right to exploit the rich minerals owned by the Kingdom of Saxony.

Today, the emissary of the Old Gods has come to meet with the King of Rodland in secret, and according to the emissary, it seems that the Old Gods are interested in getting the Kingdom of Saxony to transfer the mining rights to the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce in Free City. For the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce Rodland has also heard some relevant news, although it is not as good as the top business giants in the Free City, but the rise speed of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce in the Free City can be described as a miraculous existence, and now the entire Chamber of Commerce is involved in many aspects of trade, mainly weapons and food, the most eye-catching is the vice president of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, Clossard, this young man is talented, not only almost overthrowing the president of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, but even about to become a figure on a par with Lawrence, the chairman of the Free City Chamber of Commerce。

Although the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce can be said to have unlimited potential and enough capital to help the Kingdom of Saxony mine minerals, but as the lord of a country, Rodland is still keenly aware of some of the problems that this rising Chamber of Commerce will face in the future, the most important of which is that the appetite of the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce is too great, or to be precise, the appetite of Vice President Crossside is too much, and the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce has a lot of plans to replace several chambers of commerce spoilers in the free city recently, and the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce has not only begun to lend a large amount of money to some countries has obtained resident chambers of commerce and tax exemption rights, but also began to annex a large number of small and medium-sized chambers of commerce has grown themselves。 There are also rumors that Crossside has a good personal relationship with Gerket, the strongest mercenary group in Free City, Gruckate Tomahawk, and the power generated by the catalytic effect of money and force is enough to make Lawrence, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce in Free City, sit on pins and needles.

"Lawrence has a pivotal position in Free City as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, which is something that the Circle of Blackstone Chamber of Commerce simply cannot do, and every year Mr. Lawrence is very supportive of the aid to our country┉┉"

"Please forgive me for reminding you that Lawrence only has a monopoly on transportation in the free city, and the ore mining rights in our country are just a bargaining chip for Lawrence to consolidate his personal position in the free cities, and he can outsource the mining rights to those businessmen who are willing to stand on his side without any scruples, needless to say, the largest profit will definitely be eaten by Lawrence, and there is only a little scrap soup distributed to our country after layers of exploitation. The Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce will be completely self-managed. And the ore harvest price given was much more than what Lawrence gave. ”

"The Kingdom of Saxony can't afford to offend the Free City, and it can't afford to offend Lawrence!"

"Therefore, the kingdom of Saxony should sell its sovereign interests to curry favor with others. Do you want someone to give us a bite of leftovers?"

The old-school aristocracy has always been the object of courtesy of businessmen in the free city, but it does not mean that the old-school aristocracy is willing to sell the country for personal gain. The Kingdom of Saxony is located in the cold land of the far north, and the harsh natural environment has created the tenacity of the people, and the annual war with the Oug barbarians has brought the whole nation extremely united. Among them were not only commoners, but also nobles. Faced with the seemingly never-ending war with the northern Oger barbarians, the food shortage in the Far North, and the neighboring countries that coveted the minerals of the Kingdom of Saxony all made these old-fashioned nobles worried!

Originally to defend against the Ogg barbarians. The old-fashioned aristocracy was assigned by the royal family to negotiate food supplies with the Free Cities. The royal family, on the other hand, is responsible for negotiating material aid with other countries. However, for a long time, the old-school aristocracy has been in contact with more merchants in the free city, and it is inevitable that there will be a situation where the position is inclined to the free city in the continuous wooing and buying, after all, no matter how loyal anyone is. But loyalty is never endless. Although the old-fashioned aristocracy generally took into account the interests of the Kingdom of Saxony, the policy of relying on the free cities in the past did make it seem that they were about to become the advocates for the interests of the merchants in the free cities.

In some respects, the King of Rodland could not directly veto the plans of the old-fashioned nobles, after all, the Kingdom of Saxony had a deal with an unknown ancient god, a matter that only a few members of the royal family knew about, and the old-fashioned nobles knew nothing about it.

In fact, Rodland also thinks that it makes sense that the old-school nobles are unwilling to cooperate with the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, after all, Crossside is too young, although talented, but too radical to know how to forbear, and now the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce is in the limelight, and it is inevitable that it will become the target of the giants in the free city, after all, for businessmen, their innate greedy nature will never allow one more person to share the cake. Recently, there have been some rumors that the conflict between the president of the Ring of Blackstone Chamber of Commerce and Crossside has almost reached its peak, and I am afraid that other merchants in the Free City will take this opportunity to contact the president of the Ring of Blackstone to overthrow Closed

In this case, if the Kingdom of Saxony hands over the mining rights to the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce, it may also become the target of anger and be suppressed in trade, you must know that it is not only the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce that covets the mining rights, even Lawrence, the chairman of the Free City Chamber of Commerce, also wants to get the mining rights, but the price given by Lawrence is indeed much lower than that of the Blackstone Ring.

However, now that the old gods have clearly expressed their hope that the Kingdom of Saxony and the Ring of Blackstone Chamber of Commerce will cooperate with the vice president of the Circle of Stone, to be precise, it is not ordinary to cooperate with the vice president of the Circle of Silver, so compared to this vice president of the Circle of Silverside, you will know it if you think about it carefully. In a short period of time, a small chamber of commerce that is not worth mentioning has developed to today's Cheng Dù, an unimaginably outstanding mind that can easily wander in the free city of the jungle, and has a very good personal relationship with the strongest mercenary group leader in the free city, Closed can do this qiē is by no means an obscure mortal can do it lightly, there must be an even more terrifying power behind him to support him!

Maybe ┉┉ The vice president of the Chamber of Commerce of the Ring of Blackstone is also a believer in the ancient gods!

Since the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce can be recognized by a god, how can it be the object of the merchants in the free city who can be suppressed at will! Moreover, the price and chips given by the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce are indeed much higher than Lawrence's, and the most important thing is that if the next chairman of the Chamber of Commerce is elected, if Crossside can replace Lawrence with this cooperation with the Kingdom of Saxony, then the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce will definitely rise up to become the new overlord who dominates the free city, and the Kingdom of Saxony will also benefit a lot from it.

Thinking of this, the old king Rodlan made up his mind!

"Everyone~ Calm down first!"

After the old king got up and spoke, the two sides who were still arguing subconsciously closed their mouths, but their eyes were still confronting each other without admitting defeat.

Seeing that the ministers below were quiet, Rodelan sorted out his thoughts a little and slowly persuaded him, in fact, the current situation is not suitable for directly vetoing the old faction nobles, which will cause instability in the situation and alienate the hearts of the old faction nobles, it is best to secretly hand over part of the mining rights to the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce first, and wait for a period of time to gradually transfer slowly. Now the old king can only choose to stabilize these old faction nobles first, and also stabilize the big merchants in the free city, and wait until he is on the right track, so that the Kingdom of Saxony can accumulate some bargaining chips and then officially confront it.

Although his body is old, Rodland's wisdom has not declined with age, and the old king has cleverly resolved the dispute between them temporarily, affirming the influence of Lawrence, a big merchant in the free city, and at the same time expressing dissatisfaction with Lawrence's willingness to give too low, hoping that the old faction nobles can try to fight for more benefits for the Kingdom of Saxony on the price issue.

Temporarily calmed down the dispute between the two sides, the old king summoned the Grand Duke of Morris to discuss how the Saxon Kingdom should act next, although with the help of the power of the gods, please ask the entanglement of the Oger barbarians, but the Saxon Kingdom needs a certain amount of time to recover, and at the same time, when the ancient gods of Saxon get its assistance, they should also try to come up with chips that can satisfy the old gods, the right to mine minerals is a pretty good bargaining chip, but how to maintain a balance between the old gods and the big businessmen of the free city is a big problem in front of Rodland！

Grand Duke Morris also agrees with King Rodland's policy of temporary delay for the old faction nobility, and in fact Morris would like to see the vice president of the Circle of Blackstone, Crossside, to see why this young man has gained the affection of the Old Gods.

At the same time, in the free city, the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce has recently acquired a large number of slaves, and some branches of the Elves and Dwarves Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce are under the instruction of Klossaed, buying a large number of slave traders and how many are wanted, although elves are regarded as luxury goods in principle only sold to people with status and status, but under the offensive of money shells, elven slaves who can usually be bought according to their appearance of one to two million liens have recently been copied to four million liens, and under the attraction of this huge profit, the affiliated merchants said that the principle needs to be observed, but it doesn't matter if you occasionally open the back door on the basis of principles, after all, no fool will have trouble with money.

The value of elves and dwarf slaves began to multiply, and as Yalin expected, more slave catching teams were stimulated to go around to capture more elves and dwarves, and the nightmare days for the elves in the eastern part of the continent became more and more difficult, and a large-scale wave of escape may be formed again, although the Holy Capital intended to shelter these persecuted races to flee to the west, but at this moment, the demons were raging but stumped the hands and feet of the Holy Capital, and every day the most miserable things were being staged in many areas in the eastern part of the continent!( To be continued ......)
