Chapter 325: The Vice President's Chance
The Kingdom of Saxony does need technology, even the Grand Duke of Morris, who was born in a military family, agrees with it, with the assistance of the magic crystal cannon in the army, the army of Saxony can always eliminate the invading Ogue people exponentially, without the help of the weapons brought by this advanced technology, just relying on soldiers wearing armor and flesh and blood to fight against the Ogue barbarians, then the Saxon Kingdom has already been squeezed out of the last bit of population.
"The ancient god Arin can afford what the Saxon Kingdom needs, but the Saxon Kingdom can't afford to pay enough┉┉" Morris sighed secretly, this is the biggest weakness of the Saxon Kingdom.
Gretel also sighed wordlessly: "Yes, the kingdom really lacks enough bargaining chips, and now it can only meet the requirements of the ancient gods as much as possible, at least to ensure the agreement reached now." ”
The two ministers talked for a while, and finally Gretel took his leave, while Grand Duke Morris arranged a meeting between the oracle and Crossside.
The Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce does not have a permanent hall in the Kingdom of Saxony, but only a small-scale trading post in the Kingdom, because the location of the Kingdom of Saxony is too remote, and any chamber of commerce is unwilling to make large-scale investments here, but now the Ring of Oger is blocked in the far north by the White Dragon King Yalin, and the agreement on ore mining rights has been reached, so the Blackstone Ring must occupy the Saxon Kingdom first, and exclude other chambers of commerce in the free city。
Clossed had already begun to write on the carriage back to the royal inn, and the Circle of Blackstone Chamber of Commerce was temporarily short of funds due to the large purchase of slaves, especially elven and dwarven slaves. Although the King of the White Dragon will pay the bill, but the way of paying the bill is really a dilemma for Clossard, the most precious magic metal in the world, even Clossard is heartbroken to sell the magic metal in his hand like this, you must know that once you sell Olihacom, even if you take more money, don't think about buying it back, this thing is simply a priceless deposit.
"This is really a headache!" Crossside stopped his pen and looked very entangled, such a valuable magic metal Crossside really didn't want to sell it, one is because he needs to use it, and the other is that if he sells it, there is a chance that it will fall into the hands of the Holy Capital and the Holy See, for the two major religious organizations that need a lot of rare materials to build reliquary-level equipment, this is something that must be obtained, but isn't selling to them equivalent to arming potential enemies?
Can't sell!! But Blackstone Ring has had several big deals recently that could make enough profit to make up for the gap. It's just that I need some time to wait for the transaction to be completed, and I also need to find a way to get a sum of money to temporarily turn around.
Crossside thought about it, he could see if there were any assets in the Chamber of Commerce that were not used for the time being, and he could sell some emergencies. Otherwise, you can borrow some funds┉┉No!If you borrow funds or sell assets, you may send a false signal to the outside that the Blackstone Ring merchant will have financial problems. This will affect the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce and even make some large customers lose confidence in the Chamber of Commerce.
I thought about it for a long time. A solution finally came to Clossard's mind. A method that I really don't want to use!
Well~
Suddenly, several horses galloped past the carriage, and Clossard suddenly noticed one of the black steeds riding a man, who was clearly carrying a huge battle axe on his back at all times.
"Stop!"
Clossard immediately ordered the carriage to stop. After getting off the bus, let the driver return first.
If I remember correctly, Gelkite should have gone to the Misty Forest, why is he still in the royal capital of the Saxon Kingdom, could it be that guy finally changed his mind and didn't go? If that's the case, Clossard breathed a sigh of relief, if Gelkite just recklessly broke into the Misty Forest, his character of not being afraid of heaven and earth would definitely annoy the White Dragon King, and the leader of the Splittooth Tomahawk Mercenary Regiment would probably be replaced.
Clossard looked thoughtfully at the few people who had gone away, and finally slowly followed him.
On the galloping horses, Gelkite was followed by the 'little fox' Anvina of the Northland and the female assassin Milan, who returned to Belica Town to rest after hunting the dragon lizard, the news of the dragon lizard being hunted once again caused a sensation in the whole town, countless mercenaries cheered in disbelief, and the poet was even more crazy to record this great feat, I believe that it will not be long before there will be one more glorious deed of the mercenary king in the free city. Especially when Gelkite showed the huge magic core dug up from the dragon lizard's body, the entire roof of the Snow House Hotel was almost torn off by the roars of the mercenaries. Some of the pharmacists and alchemists present immediately began to contact their mentors and their respective academies to prepare funds, and everyone was determined to buy this incomparably precious dragon lizard demon core.
Some of the precious materials that Anwena dug up from the dragon lizard were sold for a sky-high price, and several alchemists even started fighting directly in order to compete for the dragon lizard's two bottles of blood. Miram also gained a lot, but the female assassin was more like using these materials to build a good set of equipment for herself, and the only thing she wanted to cry in this carnival atmosphere was the female mage who gave up for fear of giving up halfway. This female mage of the water system really never dreamed that Gelkite really had the ability to kill dragon lizards, so many precious materials that were simply invaluable but he could take as much as he wanted, and this huge wealth that fell from the sky slipped out of his fingers because of his momentary fear.
In fact, in addition to the female mage's sense of loss and remorse, some mercenaries heard from the mouth of the 'little fox' Anwena that there were too many dragon lizard corpses, and the three of them did not even have a tenth of the materials taken from the dragon lizard.
Gerkite did not stay in Belica for long, but quickly set off for the royal capital of Saxony, and the three of them galloped to the gate of the Royal Mage Academy, and after being stopped by the guards on duty, Gerkite directly asked to see Leilith.
The guard also recognized that the person who came was actually the famous mercenary king in the Free City, although it was not clear what Gelkite was looking for the disciple of the court archmage, but the guard was still very conscientious and immediately went to inform Leilith.
"Please come with me, Mr. Gerkate. The returning guard made a gesture of invitation and guided Gelkate to Leith's private research room.
Along the way, Anvena and Miram whispered to each other, neither of them knowing who the mage named Lylith was, and that Gelkite had come to the Saxony King in such a hurry to see him.
"I guess it's a woman!" muttered Avena, who was sensitive to certain things.
Milan also agreed: "Could it be an acquaintance that His Excellency Gelket knows┉┉"
"Could it be a lover, right?" Anvina also guessed evilly, but the tone of her voice was slightly aggrieved, obviously she had given her first time to Gelkite not long ago, but she didn't expect him to be
Although the two of them spoke very quietly, they couldn't hide it from Gerket's ears, and listening to the non-stop gossip of the two of them, Gerkett also laughed and didn't say anything. Soon outside the private study room, Gelkite saw a familiar figure, the female mage Leilith Shafier, whom he had befriended in the Misty Forest.
The female mage still has a ponytail as when they first met, although she has a broken arm, she looks good, and today Leilith also wears a pair of small gold-rimmed glasses, which makes the female mage who already has a good appearance more intellectual beauty.
This is Leilith? This is the person Gerkite came to meet
Anvena and Milan quickly looked at Leilith, she really looked good and had some aristocratic lady-like temperament, the important thing is that the mage insignia on the other party's chest shows that the woman in front of her who looks like she is in her early twenties is actually a level 13 magician, and it is very easy for a level 13 magician to get a noble status in some countries, plus the girl is so young that she must have unlimited potential, and in the future, if the mage level increases by a few levels, she may really be able to step into the upper class.
Lost!!
This was what Anvena and Milan thought of at the same time, but the two of them were a little puzzled to find that Leilith actually only had one arm.
"What's the matter with that guy looking for me? Mr. Gerkett. Seeing that Gelkite was always smart, Leilith stammered a little when she spoke, and at the same time, Leilith stopped her curious gaze on the two people behind Gelkite: "May I ask who these two are?"
Gelkite tidied up his clothes: "Let's see if you bring you something, and these two are┉┉"
"Hello Miss Relith, my name is Avena and I am a member of the Splittooth Tomahawk Mercenary Regiment. Anvena saluted the etiquette of a mercenary and said first.
"Milan ~ the same as Anvina. Milan also bowed slightly.
Leilith's expression changed and she glanced at Gelkite with some confusion, who shrugged her shoulders and nodded her head in acknowledgment. Just as Leilith was about to invite Gelkite in, a voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
"It's not bad, when did you get two such beautiful girls, aren't you going to the Misty Forest?" (To be continued......)
