Chapter 373: I'm Making Money, I'm Making Money
Wine, in an era of low productivity, was a relatively expensive luxury.
This is a very realistic truth.
When people in a country are growing a lot of food to fill their stomachs, how many people have the energy and resources to make wine?
The wealthy Quel'Salas had the confidence to produce a large amount of wine for the people of the whole country to enjoy while ensuring an adequate food supply.
Unlike the dwarves, who only like spirits, Quel'Salas's drinks are mostly fruit wines, especially red wines.
Valeera's main family, the Sangunar family, used to grow grapes, but only recently changed to horse breeding to support the construction of the Morning Striker.
This change in business type has made the Sangunar family more profitable.
The Morning Striker performed well in the Battle of Zuaman, and the paladins with their strength and beauty attracted the favor of many High Elves.
After Liadlin released the news of the expansion of the Chenfeng Legion, a large number of High Elves who did not have the qualifications of the mage hurriedly rushed to the Chenfeng Barracks on the outskirts of Silvermoon City to sign up.
Paladins have expanded their recruitment, and the issue of mounts has been put on the agenda.
As the only territory where Quel'Salas currently breeds unicorns, the Sangunar family has become a natural sweetheart.
Unicorns have a low fertility rate, and it takes at least several years to raise the next batch of ponies, and the existing mature unicorns are extremely valuable.
The Sangunar family had exclusive permission from the Sun King, and only they were entitled to travel to various parts of the Yongge Forest to capture wild unicorns.
After being tamed by the Wranglers of the Sangunar family, the horses that have been worn out of the wild will be sold to the Morning Striker Legion, which will be paid directly by the Sunstrider royal family.
This monopoly business has attracted the attention of nobles and wealthy merchants of all sizes in Quel'Salas, and many nobles have recently used their connections to pressure the Silvermoon Council to get a piece of the unicorn breeding pie.
But the Sangunar family also said that before the appearance of the High Elf Paladin, the unicorn did not attract much attention, and in the case of wild stocking, there were not many of them, and their family could eat them completely.
If the business is divided by the major families before the business is fully rolled out, it will inevitably be detrimental to the further development of the Chenfeng Legion.
After discussions between the Silvermoon Council and the Sun King, the Anastrian Protector gave the order.
No family is allowed to reach out to the Sangunar until the new generation of unicorns in mass breeding has grown, and those who violate it will be severely punished by the Silvermoon Council and the Sunstrider Crown.
The topic is a bit off-topic, back to the topic.
In the Yongge Forest, it is certainly not the only one who grows grapes for winemaking, after all, it is not a difficult technical job.
The hedonistic High Elves are terrifying in their consumption of alcohol, and there are plenty of territories in the north and south of the forest that grow a variety of wine-making fruits.
Backed by many references from netizens from other worlds, Sarjan didn't want to fight with those wine merchants on the same track, so he decided to find another way to open up the top liquor market that Quel'Salas didn't have today.
It's the magic wine that the Nightchildren have enjoyed for years.
The High Elves can ingest the magic of the Sunwell directly into the air, which is more convenient and faster than the Nightchild's method of brewing mana into wine, but it is a bit of a loss for the upper class who like to be more stylish.
Salian had his eye on this part of the upper-class market, and he made a special trip to Surama to learn from the local wineries under the introduction of Elisander.
Salian was not alone in this trip, as he hired a group of skilled winemakers from the Sangunar family through Valeera's connections.
Due to the change in the direction of the Sangunar family's main business, these winemakers happen to be unemployed at home.
With unemployment benefits from the state, their daily lives are not a problem, but busy people will feel more and more uncomfortable when they suddenly have a long time to spare.
In the words of the barrage, I want to take a vacation after working (studying) for a long time, and I want to go to work (study) after a long vacation.
This is one of the inferior roots that mortals have had since ancient times, and what cannot be obtained is the best.
Valilla is almost certain that she will inevitably become the mistress of the Deep Shadow family in the future...... One.
is also a hardcore royal party and a noble family that rose in the troll war, and Shenying and Sangunar have a very good relationship, and they will be close to each other in the future.
The contemporary Baron Sangunar agreed to Sarjan's request without saying a word, and generously handed over the winemakers raised by the Sangunar family to Sarjan's employment.
After signing a strict confidentiality agreement with these skilled craftsmen, Sarjan led them to Sulama, the pearl of the night, and gave them a glimpse of a wider world.
The brewing method of magic wine is actually not difficult, the High Elves just didn't think of this concept before, and no one could easily make the Sun King loosen his mouth and open the magic of the Sun Well to supply the wine.
And these prerequisites, Salian can meet.
With the cherished dragon cubs he had brought back for Quel'Thalas, even if he asked Anastria to bathe in the sunwell, the old king would probably nod his head in agreement after a moment of consideration.
Anastria had already tasted the high-end magic wine that Elisander had gifted, and it was no surprise that he was intrigued by this more tasteful way of ingesting magic power.
As Elisander's words, the mana wine did not give Anastria the blessing of the Well of Night, and his life force continued to drain slowly.
After tasting the delicious magic wine, the Sun King, as a great hedonistic expert, was a little disdainful of the original "rude" way of ingesting magic power.
Quel'Thalas doesn't have a Well of the Night, but there is a much better Well of the Sun, and all that's missing is the mana and brewing techniques.
The well-traveled Sarlian made up for this shortcoming, and under the guidance of the experts sent by Elisander, the skilled winemakers quickly mastered the essence.
Before the notice from the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep arrived, the first batch of magic wine brewed from the magic of the Sunwell was sent to the court of the Sunstrider, to the undisguised praise of Anastria.
Compared to the slightly cold magic of the Night Well, the magic of the Sun Well is warmer and softer, and it is more suitable for the High Elves who are accustomed to this magical style.
Praised by the greatest hedonistic connoisseurs, the winemakers of the Earls of Deep Shadows were inspired to begin producing the finest magic wines for the upper class.
Due to the Sun King's personal endorsement and advertising, the magic wine has caused a wave of anticipation before it has even been introduced to the market.
As soon as it came out, the first batch of the Sunwell version of the magic wine sold out quickly.
The nobles who professed to be upper-class loved the soft, good-tasting magic wine, and if their banquet did not have a few bottles of magic wine, they would inevitably be secretly ridiculed by other nobles in private.
With the rapid accumulation of funds, Salian continued to expand the scale of Unicorn Village, and now has the prototype of the town.
Just when the Deep Shadow Earls were busy making money from top to bottom, the Dragon Sleep Temple, which had been grinding for a long time, finally had new news.
……
"None of the Dragon Kings participated?"
Through the communication channel that Stellagossa and Elgoth had built remotely, Sarren learned of the Dragons' expeditionary lineup.
The bronze dragon king Nozdorm is nowhere to be found, and the blue dragon king Malygos, the red dragon queen Alexstasa, and the green dragon queen Ysera do not plan to participate in this expedition, leaving the opportunity to fight Hela to the juniors.
The Blue Dragon's side was naturally led by Aregos, accompanied by Karegos and Athoregus, who had just been captured.
The Red, Green, and Bronze Dragons were also led by their respective Crown Princes, Karen, Melinthra, and Anaclos, and the core members of the new generation of each race volunteered to participate.
Although there is no dragon king to lead the team, the lineup is already luxurious enough.
By the way, Sinestella and Onexia finally persuaded Abicien.
On this expedition to Stormfjord, Abcien and Onexia will also represent the Black Dragon, while Sinistra and the rest of the Dragons will stay behind in the Dragonbone Wilderness to help the Black Dragons purify the Dragon's Eggs.
Considering the tragic situation of the quicksand battle thousands of years ago, the dragon kings are still a little worried about their children, worried that they will make big news under impulse.
In light of this, Crassus, the lubricant caught between the two generations of dragons, was sent to oversee the army.
At the time necessary, he has the right to open the portal that leads directly to the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep to shake people.
This is the last insurance of last resort, and if there is no unexpected big trouble, nine out of ten will not use it, after all, the main purpose of this expedition is to train the younger generation.
The expeditionary force of the Temple of Dragon's Sleep will go directly to Stormfjord, and Saljan will set off to reach the Broken Isles first, and talk to Senagos to restrain his baby dragons for a while.
"Humph!"
Cenagos lay in the cave full of magic crystals and snorted disdainfully: "Malygos, that old stubborn is still unconvinced? Yes! I'd like to see how hard he can get. ”
"Sarean, little star, you go and help those juniors with eyes above the top to go to the bottom."
"Don't leave any chance for the sinister and cunning Hela to turn the tables around, be sure to free Odin from Valhalla!"
