875. Antrechi's new position
Parks Wyvern personally invited Rand to the Magic Association, nominally to announce the results of the demon investigation to Rand, or rather, to tell Rand that their family had given up on the demons who had assassinated him before, so that Rand could dispose of it at will.
Privately, under the pressure of Red Dragon Rock, a ceasefire agreement was reached with Rand, announcing that the Magic Association would send a mage law enforcement team to patrol the vicinity of Rand's Chamber of Commerce.
That is to say, the Magic Association will ensure that Rand's subordinates stay away from the battle in Night Qicheng in the official name, although no one on the surface will admit defeat, but the magic master of the Feilong family said with practical actions: We can't afford to provoke your family, I recognize your interests in Night Qicheng City, and we will not violate the river water from now on.
Rand was very satisfied with the Wyvern family's initiative to make peace, and only after confirming that the Wyvern family was no longer targeting him that night, did he pay attention to the trade center of Night Qicheng and the war in the north.
The strife in the Night Qi City did not stop because the Wyvern and the galloping horse made peace temporarily, but there was more smoke in the outer part of the city.
All morning on the 9th, Rand was in the meditation room at the top of the magic tower in the palace, sometimes looking at the green smoke rising from the bottom of Longtai Mountain outside the window, and sometimes looking at the huge map of the galloping horse plain at his feet.
Beside him, Antrechi, a young man from the Blue Dragon Family, stood cautiously and respectfully, not daring to speak more.
At this time last year, Antrechi met Rand Galloping Horse for the first time, when he was only the fourth son of a baron, although he shined under the Blue Magpie Castle, but even the Maned Wolf Earl, he did not expect that he would be able to truly recover the Night Qicheng City, unify the entire Galloping Horse Plain, become the promoter of the two fairy queens of Tenia and Abilis, the family of the magic net, and a year later, become a pivotal role in the Dragon's Tooth City.
However, what Antrechi didn't expect was that Rand would let him be the person in charge of the Qicheng Business Center when he thought about his old feelings so much.
Yesterday, McLaren suddenly informed him that Nightqi City had established a city-sized trading center, which would replace the dead Gatsby Lanyuan as a pivotal trading center connecting the Orc Plateau to the center of the Human Empire, and he would become the administrator of this trading center.
"Actually, I recommended several high-level potions to Duke Rand, but he still insisted on choosing you, and was even willing to provide you with a high-level potion to become a high-level!"
Yesterday, McLaren said in the magic mirror, "What the Duke of Rand likes you is your familiarity with the Galloping Horse Plains and the importance you attach to the honor of the nobility!" ”
"Yes! Your Excellency, I will do a good job! Even in the face of the legendary knight in the magic mirror, Antrechi knelt down on the spot and expressed his loyalty.
"Well, you are in Dragon's Tooth City with that Gatsby Lanyuan, you must know better about his affairs, so you must take him as a ring, no amount of gold can buy back the protection of the lord!"
"Boom~"
"Roar~"
There was another rumbling sound outside the window, this time even smoke rising from inside Dragon's Tooth City, and the howling of dragon beasts and griffons was heard in the sky, waking up the knight who was thinking.
"Antrechi?"
"Yes! Lord Duke! Hearing Rand call his name, Antrechi replied subconsciously.
"Don't be so outspoken," Rand waved his hand, "just call me Lord like everyone else in the realm." ”
"Thank you, sir!" Antrechi understood that Rand's words were a sign that he was also a part of Night Kirk.
"Yesterday, I told His Excellency McLaren why I chose you to be the head of trade," Rand motioned for Antrechi to sit down, "In addition to Gureya's recommendation, more importantly, your character and ability are enough to support this position." ”
Rand is interested in Antrechi, it is really his character, there are several money-making "geniuses" in the territory, such as Pete Maned Wolf, Gatsby Landarin and Sally Wyvern, these can be described as a daily daughter, but they always like to bypass Rand and use the convenience of the territory to reach private deals.
In contrast, Antrechi's habit of signing a contract for every transaction does guarantee the interests of each party.
"For me, the trade center is not a simple market, and this market is not meant to replace the regional business centers of Dragon's Tooth City, White Tree City, and Abaidi," Rand pointed to the map on the ground.
"In the future, Night Qicheng will become a manufacturing center for many alchemy products and magic pattern products, as it has done in the past, and at the same time, dozens of magical plants and magic wines will be produced in the entire Galloping Horse Plain, and this trade center is to make these products sell to various places at the most reasonable price."
"Your Excellency, you mean to use this as a place to auction off your products?" Antrechi asked quietly.
"Hmm......" Rand suddenly found that the young man of the Blue Dragon Family in front of him, after all, had only been an agent, and perhaps he had less knowledge.
"Not only that, I have three goals for this trade center, the most recent one is to pay all the nearly 100,000 gold gold contracts left by Gatsby, although ninety percent of the orders have not paid the deposit, they are the raw materials of the major families to support the products of the ice sea frontline, and there is no room for any delay."
As he spoke, Rand handed Antrechi a wad of orders, and as he expected, from yesterday afternoon to this morning, several families approached him with purchase intentions, saying that they had verbally agreed with Gatsby on the price of the shipment.
"You recheck the price and delivery date of these orders, and if there are no special problems, they will proceed according to the original agreement, and the new trade will be re-signed in the future."
"Yes! My lord," Antrechi roughly looked through a few documents, which were basically contracts according to the normal market price of previous years, and the magic materials from the orcs themselves had a high premium, and it didn't seem to be unreasonable.
However, in the past, such orders that were 3 or 4 times higher than normal prices would have caused prices to skyrocket, and if they were reflected in the finished product, it was possible to grow at least 6 or 7 times or even 10 times.
But this year, the plantations in Night Qicheng have begun to harvest the first batch of magic plants, and a large number of raw materials and potions that have been hoarded by the orc tribes and Night Qicheng have also been stranded because of the rapid end of the war.
These combined factors have made the price of goods that were in demand in previous years neither lower due to smooth traffic, nor skyrocketing due to the expansion of demand.
