"Lord Collins, do you want to supply the ancient spices of the Komanso country and the entire elven world with a single territory?"

In Collins's plan, there was indeed such a plan, but he also knew that it was very unrealistic, so when Xia Duo took the initiative to mention it, he shook his head quite decisively and said:

"I don't have that much ambition yet, and it's impossible for the elves to watch this kind of money-making business, and even the channels for enjoying it in the future, completely controlled by a human being, if Lord Xia Duo has any ideas, just say it!"

"Well, then I'll get straight to the point."

Xia Duo closed the information in his hand, put it on the wine table, and pushed it back in front of Collins, before he slowly said his thoughts:

"As far as I know, although the Comanso spice market is often in short supply, the supply has been relatively stable, and the sudden emergence of a new source of spice will inevitably lead to investigation.

"My idea is that we can give up the big cities for a while and focus on the small cities and even the small towns.

"Elves are extravagant, and even civilians have a greater demand for spices, so it will be easier to hide the source of spices by distributing them from small towns first.

"And in the process, we can also investigate the market conditions more deeply so that we can develop a more realistic follow-up plan.

"As for the specific method, I asked the Patriarch of the Silver Leaf Family, and his reply to me was that the war in Komanso has just subsided, and the people are in a difficult time to rebuild their homeland, and it would be great if there was more spice and more flavor to life at this time.

"In Comanso, ivory pepper and bay leaf, these two spices are very common and the production is relatively large, but that doesn't mean it's not profitable.

"On the contrary, these two everyday spices are far easier to ship and more profitable than the more expensive and rare ancient spices, and most importantly there is not much risk, so I recommend starting with these two spices."

After saying this, Xia Duo leaned back in the chair behind him, waiting for Collins' decision, and he was not worried about telling the other party directly about the experience derived from Orips, who would leave him to do it himself.

Not to mention that senior arcanists have their own pride, they have already negotiated the framework of cooperation before, and they will not regret it easily, and this kind of business alone can also give cooperation another insurance.

It's not that it can't be done, but once the key is known by the elves, even if you can make money, it will only be cold after being harvested by the elves.

In the final analysis, the name of their current cooperation is "spice export trade", but in fact it is "spice smuggling" that does not go through the official channels of Comanso, and once this kind of cooperation is proposed, no one will easily cause infighting.

What's more, the cooperation in the spice business is only superficial, and the essence is that the two sides intend to form an alliance of interests, which alone determines that Collins will not easily regret it.

Of course, Chado didn't leave Collins alone just because he knew about this potentially lucrative business, although the seeds of the two spices "ivory pepper" and "bay leaf" were not hard to find in Nessreel.

Cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and fighting is hurting, and he still understands this truth.

……

Collins did not hesitate for long in response to Chado's suggestion, and quickly made a decision, "According to the lord of Chado, for the time being, bay leaves and ivory peppers will be the main export commodities. ”

"Lord Collins will not regret today's decision!" Xia Duo said with a pun.

Then the two raised their glasses and smiled at each other, as if they had known each other for many years, and as for the specific implementation details of the spice export, the two did not continue to discuss here.

Leave this to your subordinates, and Collins will send someone to the south to talk to the Chieftain of the Silverleaf family.

At this point, the two continued to drink.

Compared to the delicate, even some practical refreshing, nourishing elf fruit wine, the wine in this bistro is not very outstanding, and there is even a slight sour taste in the mouth, but it is also better than this slightly sour taste.

Xia Duo didn't know how many kinds of drinks and drinks he had drunk on Earth, and he couldn't look down on the wine like Nessreel, and he usually drank elf wine.

But now, the rougher-brewed sour made his eyes brightened, and aside from the meeting with Lord Collins, he was willing to drink two more glasses even if he came here alone.

According to Lord Collins, there are few people in the morning, and if it's night, it's full almost every day, and even the Grand Arcanist will frequent.

Near noon, the two each ordered a barbecue and a vegetable pie, and after eating, they were ready to leave, but before leaving, Collins took the initiative to mention the blessing ceremony on the side of Radiant Plaza:

"Lord Chador, right, know the reason for the sudden blessing ceremony at the Council of Severington?"

"You know, get rid of the demonic aura!"

"And what does Lord Shado think of creatures like demons?"

What do you think? What else can you see?

Xia Duo deliberately paid more attention to Lord Collins' expression, but did not notice anything unusual, so he replied tentatively:

"There is no doubt about the existence of demons, but this creature is too dangerous, and I feel it is necessary to keep my distance from it, both in terms of itself and the summoning spells associated with it."

"Lord Shado's words are exactly what I want!" Collins immediately agreed.

But then, Collins changed his tone and revealed a secret message to Xia Duo that was not strictly secret:

"I've heard that some people are already preparing to study demon summoning, and there is a lot of controversy about whether or not to ban demon-related spells, and I hope Lord Xia Duo will stick to his current opinion in the future!"

"I see!"

Xia Duo was thoughtful, if nothing else, there would be a steady stream of people coming to him to ask for advice, of course, except for a few Grand Arcanists from the Seven Towers, and the directors of the Arcane Federation, he could ignore everyone else.

After all, when it comes to the prohibition of certain types of spells, the Arcane Federation is the leader, and the main voice of the Arcane Federation is focused on the Grand Arcanist and the Mage Tower organization behind the directors.

An ordinary high-level mage, or even a grand mage, has a fairly low voice on this kind of issue, and can only passively accept the results.

If you want to influence the outcome, it's almost impossible.

Even Xia Duo, as a senior arcanist, actually needs to take sides, and from Collins's words, it seems that Gilles Tower is more inclined to study demon summoning.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, he was closer to Gillestall Tower, and it was more realistic to stand with Gillestall Tower in certain situations where a senior arcanist needed to speak and participate in a vote.

Who knows what it actually is?

At the very least, Shado did not support any proposal from the Gilles Tower, or even by anyone or any organization, to be in favor of studying the summoning of demons.
