Territory One

Xiao Liya heard that Mu En could speak, and she was very surprised, how did she know that Mu En would say the word delicious.

Xiao Liya listened to these two words, and her beloved snacks were eaten a lot by Mu En. If Lisa hadn't stopped her, I'm really afraid that Mu En would have eaten a bad stomach!

The old guy heard that Mu En could talk, so he also came to join in the fun. is also a serious hope to be Muen's teacher, and took over the criticism by the Depero family. In particular, Depero and Elena strongly objected, and the old guy's black history was picked up.

Ivan taught to make goblin bombs when he was eleven or twelve years old, and fooled Evan to go to the Endless Forest, where he made three children vomit with the potion he made, as well as ....... One by one, one by one, the old guy was turned over completely, and the old guy was ashamed to hide!

Evan felt that Muen's magic had his own, and the three professors of Lisa and Xiao Liya were enough, and the same was true for alchemy, and the three people in the family were all alchemists! The old guy just came out to fool around, and he also knows if he is idle and has nothing to do!

As the lord of Depero's domain, Ivan has not been patrolling the territory for a short time. While Lola and they are there, take them around. The city and the elves had already been there, and in the afternoon Evan was going to take them to the mines.

"This is a magical metal mine, contracted to be mined by a team of dwarven miners. Here are the Magic Steel and Mithril Mine, the ore is extremely pure, and it is the finest ore. It is mainly sold to the Dwarven Kingdom, and a small amount is sold to the Thorn Flower Firm, and some other merchants. ”

The fat dog led the way, and Lola and the others looked at the busy mine, and bursts of explosions sounded, and several people were a little surprised!

"Brother Ivan, what's wrong with the front?"

"The mine in front is the same as here, the ore is about the same. The explosion just now was dwarves mining, and open-pit mines are mined with explosives, which is faster. Those hundreds of minecarts are special vehicles to transport to the dwarven kingdom! A dozen sections are mine trucks transporting waste rock, which are transported to the sea to the south! ”

"The Dwarven kingdom and Dpero have a road?"

Rory asks his own questions, and Evan needs to tell him about dwarves.

"The dwarves have dug through the Great Snow Mountain, and they have been digging through it for more than two hundred years, and the road has been built all the way to the territory of Depero."

When Lola heard that the snowy mountains had been dug through, it was too scary, too amazing!

"Are these dwarves crazy!"

"It's almost crazy! Let's take you to the gem mine, there are several mages in front of you, members of the Mage's Guild, who are responsible for the safety of the mine and the prevention of theft of gems! ”

A large road leads to the sea, and on the side of the road is a huge rocky beach. The gemstones are hidden in the boulders, some of which are exposed on the surface of the boulders in various colors.

"The gems given to the Ross family came from here, and now the excavated stones are rough, and they need to be cleaned, screened, cut, polished, and sorted in several processes before they can become gemstones."

"The gem mines here, the dwarf kingdom accounts for 20%, the magic guild accounts for 20%, and the rest is led by Depero. That is, the dwarf contributes, the mage contributes, and I go out of the mine. ”

"Ordinary gems will be sold directly, magic gems will be sold directly depending on the color, poor quality will be sold directly, and good quality gems will be processed into magic gems and used as magic inlays! The price difference between ordinary gems and magic gems is dozens of times! ”

Lola seemed to have a little in mind.

"All the mages are in charge of the magic gem processing?"

"Lola, you're very smart, the Mage's Guild is in charge of the final processing! Dwarves are responsible for the processing of ordinary gemstones, and they are not too sensitive to the magical element! ”

Evan led the group to the west.

"My magic tower is in the west, and there is a volcano in the west, and it is very hot and hot, so I won't take you in, for fear that your clothes will catch fire halfway through! There is also a large swamp to the west, as far as the eye can see! ”

A few people walked all afternoon, their legs were sore, there was no way, the carriage couldn't go in those places. It's winter in the north, and there's still a sea of flowers in the swamp. The beauty makes people linger, and the breeze blows a shower of portraits!

Lola doesn't want to go back to the imperial capital, and Depero is much better than the imperial capital. The streets are clean and spotless, the goods are cheap and genuine, and Depero's Lordship Act is so clearly written that no one dares to do anything against the law.

Lola always thought that the fat dog was running around the city to play, so she knew that it was really patrolling Depero City. An outsider actually threatened the merchant with a knife, and the fat dog went up with a paw, and the outsider, with broken leg bones, is estimated to be crippled in the future. The guards of Depero City immediately arrived, and after reading the Lord's Bill, the outsider was thrown out of the territory directly, and the next time he committed it would be a death sentence!

Civilians are very familiar with the Lord's Bill, and they can't memorize each of them, and they can also say a little bit of meaning.

Depero's grain is sold at a very high price, several times higher, and Rory is very strange.

"Why is the price of Depero's foreign grain several times higher, and they are still rushing to buy it!"

"That's the price of grain, three times the price last year, and a little bit past seven times the price at auction this year. The yield of wheat cultivated by elves is three times higher than before, and it is normal for the price of grain to be high! ”

"Is that the elf we went to yesterday?"

"Now the elves led by Depero are just the three of them! You don't know that our Depero only receives 10% of the agricultural tax, and 90% of it is for civilians! ”

"Ichisei!"

At first, Luo Rui and the others thought it was just a rumor, but they didn't expect it to be true.

"The agricultural tax is 10%, the commercial tax is from 10% to 5, and it is mentioned to 20%, and things here are still much cheaper than the imperial capital. Because Depero received no other charges except for 20% of the business tax! Unlike the imperial capital, there is no entry tax, and there is no customs duty, but once the commercial houses and merchants are shoddy, short of catties and pounds, and evade taxes, I will punish him until his legs are weak. A minimum of 1,000 gold coins, a maximum of 50,000 gold coins fine! ”

Lola and the others just opened their mouths wide, speechless in shock, this fine is really vicious!

"Has anyone ever been fined like this?"

"Yes, the Thorn Flower Firm, a fine of 20,000 gold coins at a time, rushed to conceal the goods, and evaded taxes! There is also a commercial bank that is similar, evading taxes of 2,000 gold coins, collecting taxes of 2,000 gold coins, and fining 20,000 gold coins tenfold! Not to mention the fine of one or two thousand gold coins, even if it is fined like this, no business firm will leave! ”

"Why aren't any merchants leaving?"

"Because the civilians led by Depero have gold coins, and there are a lot of gold coins, and the consumption of hundreds of thousands of civilians here is not lower than that of a city with a million people! I haven't seen many civilians with gemstone rings and gemstone ornaments! ”

"We thought it was fake!"

The three of them seemed to understand a little.

"Seven times the price of food, and civilians also take ninety percent?"

"That's right, I'll only take 10%! Just get it, it's not in vain that you didn't waste so much saliva! The gems you want can be handled directly at the city hall, and the basic amount is fixed every month, and the more you buy, the less others will have. If you need to add it, just tell the city hall, others don't have the right to add! ”

"You can use the teleportation array led by Dpero, but the teleportation fee magic crystal will have to be paid! Only the Thorn Flower Merchant House is allowed to use the Teleportation Array here, and you guys are much faster than the other Merchant Houses! ”

Rory understood, and the Ross Comptoir could be one step ahead.

"I understand, go back and discuss it with my father, and we can make a deal! Lola, are you going back? ”

Rory knows that Lola doesn't want to leave, this place is better than the imperial capital, and it's safe!

"I'm staying here to practice magic, the emperor is not as good as here, I don't want to go back!"

As soon as Evan heard the music, he looked at the two brothers and sisters, and he really had a unique vision.

"Lola, there is a teleportation array here, you can go back and forth at any time, you just stay and go back to get some clothes! There's no space, I can sell it to you at half price! ”

"How many gold coins?"

Lola was a little excited, she had always wanted a space ring, but the price was too expensive, and the imperial capital was not safe.

"My own people, I have a price, five hundred gold coins, and a space ring the size of a room!"

"Deal, I'll go back and get the gold coins, and keep the ring!"

"You take it and use it first, and come back and give me the gold coins!" Will use it! ”

Evan said and took out a spatial ring and handed it to Lola!

"I will use it, such a large-capacity ring in the imperial capital sells for more than 20,000 gold coins, and you will suffer too much for 500 gold coins!"

"If the mage wants to keep the contract, he will have five hundred gold coins!"

Evan looked at the killer girl and smiled. Ivan has several spatial rings, and he doesn't care anymore.

"Let's go, let's go home for dinner, the fat dog knows that it's time, and it's already impatient!"

The next morning, the Lola siblings and Richard left DePero and went back to discuss some business details with Bolon. Lola packed her gold coins, jewelry, clothes, and food, and prepared to go to Depero to receive it in a few days!

Evan was in Depero leading the dwarf commander of the granary, and he heard about it while chatting. There was a dwarven expedition that fell into the sea while exploring the snow-capped mountains in the southwest of the dwarven kingdom. In order to prevent anyone from rowing down the snowy mountain, the expedition team tied a group of people together with a rope, and a dwarf slid down the cliff.

Originally, there was nothing to do, everyone took a few steps back, and the dwarf who had fallen came up. Knowing that the expedition team drank too much liquor because of the cold, they saw their teammates fall off the cliff and went to save people, but the dwarves on a rope all fell.

The Dwarven Kingdom is now not allowed to bring alcohol when going out, and the Commander feels very lucky that Depero has no one to care about him, and he can drink as much as he wants. But he won't drink too much, the dwarves are heavy on food, and safety comes first!

Evan kind of understood, dwarves drank too much and were too prone to accidents. The last time a dwarf got drunk and fell into a crack in the stone, if no one rescued him, it would have been a corpse for a few days.

Now the dwarven camp is their own responsibility, and the drunks are not allowed to leave the camp is a request made by Evan to the dwarves, and if they fail to comply, Depero will refuse to sell the spirits to the dwarves. Fortunately, several leaders of the dwarves were more supportive, and people were arranged to guard the camp gate, so that drunks could run all over the ground, sometimes drink too much, and lie outside for a few days. Drunken dwarves are not a matter of beating up, and the miners have issued a ban on alcohol among these people.

In the words of the dwarves, these dwarves have lost the face of the King of the Mountain!
