Titania.

The crown prince of Titania, the former Grand Prince Tristan, was pacing back and forth in the room, as if waiting for something.

After the door was pushed open, the Chancellor Gismo entered.

"Your Highness. ”

"You're finally here, how is that Cologne multiface?" Tristan paused.

"The people we sent disguised themselves as Aurora merchants and got there through their previous wiring connections and provided some information. The Aurora people fought a great battle against the largest empire among the aborigines for the sake of the development there, and won it. "Desmer Road.

"Well, let's talk about it in detail, especially the assessment of the strength of the natives there, and how the Aurora Kingdom won. Tristan said.

Jismo recounted the battle between the Aurora Kingdom and the Apuro Empire to Tristan, and finally frowned slightly: " According to our analysis, first of all, the two factions of the north and south temporarily stopped fighting for the outside world, and their northern wealthy clan also sent more than two legendary powerhouses to participate in the war, and the half-orcs and the Eastern Beast Alliance also participated in the war; 。 ”

"And who do you think would be behind them?" Tristan said.

Gismo shrugged his shoulders and said, "The most powerful to help them is Asturias or us, but the relationship between Asturias and Aurora is less likely than ours; Sell the Aurora Musket to the Aurora. Help them produce on their own. We won't do such a thing, so there must be a third party, and I have ordered someone to investigate, and we must find out. ”

Jismo hesitated for a moment, but still said: "This time the Aurora people are also the undead of the overseas islands, it is said that the legendary dark mage life master of the Isle of the Dead, Stephen Pujing, disrupted the command center of the Apuro Empire and helped the Aurora people win. But the undead certainly won't be the ones who helped the Aurora produce muskets. ”

"So maybe more than one force is helping the Aurora?" Tristan frowned slightly.

For Aurora, Titania's recent strategy is to woo. Let them move closer to themselves, not only away from the Church of Light and the Saxons, but also take a similar position with Titania and help each other in the defense against Asturias.

Thinking of Asturias, Tristan couldn't help but ask, "What is happening in Asturias in Cologne?"

"No, we don't see the layout of the Asturians for the time being. "But, I believe, just as we also sent observers to Cologne." There must have been overt observers or covert spies in the past. But I think they have similar concerns to us, because they are in the way of the Aurora Kingdom. It is also necessary to give priority to other planes, and many planes of Cologne are also on the sidelines. ”

"Well, the Empire has its own defenses and other planes to explore and garrison like Asturias, and although Cologne is good, as far as the current situation is concerned, the strength of the natives is still very strong, and with Aurora first, it is not suitable for us to intervene obviously. "However, if we find out that Asturia has a direct layout, we must return to the country as soon as possible, and we must take the measures that are in our best interest." ”

Gismo nodded, "Your Highness, there is one more thing about the Alvarez family. “

"Oh, Duke Alvarez, say, what's the matter?" Tristan frowned slightly, the Alvarez family is also one of his supporters, the duke's second son has also sacrificed for the empire, but this family has the blood of the High Elves, conservative and stubborn, but the empire does not like the reforms carried out by the empire to learn from Asturias, especially after Alphons's sacrifice, the duke is even more resentful.

"Your Highness, I don't know that the Duke of Alvarez's financial situation has improved in recent years, right? their trade with the Emerald Continent had shrunk dramatically, but it was revived by a strange thing called ambergris, and the trade with other commodities had also increased dramatically. "Desmer Road.

"Oh, ambergris, what's that?" Tristanci said.

"It is a luxury invented by an Asturian company that can be absorbed in a variety of ways, such as incense, which is refreshing. ”

"Oh, why did I hear that?" Tristan frowned.

"Because this thing is very popular with the High Elves, and the production was limited before, Duke Álvarez refused to sell it in the country at all as a key to resuming trade with the Emerald Continent in addition to enjoying it himself. ”

"But now the situation has changed a bit, and the Alvarez family is very keen to get more ambergris cream, and it is said that Asturias has been able to increase production to ensure supply," Gismo continued. What I want to say is that there are some families in the country who also want to sell this, and even think that the Emerald Continent should not be monopolized by Alvarez. ”

"Well, I kind of get it. Tristan said.

In the past, the Alvarez family was able to do business exclusively with the Emerald Continent, relying on their own bloodline to gain the trust of the High Elves. However, judging from the details just reported by Gismo, the High Elves' love and demand for ambergris is increasing day by day, and it is said that even the nobles of other tribes in the Emerald Continent are also vassals and elegant to like this kind of thing.

Therefore, the demand is far greater than the supply, and it is constantly growing, so Alvarez is eager to ask Asturian to increase the supply, and the profit of ambergris paste is getting bigger and bigger, and it is becoming the pillar industry of his family, including other goods can be sold in the Jade Continent is also thanks to the blessing of ambergris cream.

It can be said that for the first time, a certain commodity has surpassed the influence of the bloodline, that is, if other families or wealthy merchant groups in Titania can have a stable supply of ambergris cream, they may be able to do business with the Emerald Continent.

That's why there are a lot of people who are trying to get in touch with the suppliers of ambergris cream, intending to get a piece of the pie, and of course, Alvarez needs to lead the way to the Emerald Continent.

This kind of thing. Alvarez certainly didn't want to. But I can't stand the crowd. Previously, it was possible to refuse on the grounds that the High Elves would not be willing to come into contact.

However, it is now said that the previous High Elf representative asked Duke Álvarez when the supply would be increased upon arrival, and when he was not explicitly assured, it was revealed that if the Alvarez family could not supply enough, they would consider contacting more people, and even wanted to meet the real supplier directly.

Duke Álvarez is now neither able to fully meet the growing market demand, nor is it likely to be an enemy of everyone, although their family is strong, but it is irrational to be an enemy of many forces that want a piece of the pie combined. Unsurprisingly, they will succumb.

"And the supplier in Asturias has revealed that he wants to enter into this business with the Duke's family, but according to our investigation, the supplier seems to have a relationship with the Duke Solomon. Gismo smiled wryly.

Tristan had been calm before, and he couldn't help but change color when he heard this, "What? Is Duke Solomon behind this? Well, this matter must not be so simple, that guy is a poisonous snake, maybe we should also intervene to find out what is going on." ”——

"Hehe, everyone. If you form a free alliance with Bofeng City, our company is of course willing to provide some support for you. Although we and those who occupy the city of Fenian are aliens in your eyes. But we are not the same as them. They are naked robbers, and we are just some peace-loving, free-trade-hungry businessmen. Solomon looked around.

At this time, beside him, the people sitting around, in addition to the people of the military committee of Bofeng City, were the representatives of several other cities from the uprising areas who came to ally with Bofeng City.

Solomon inspected the rosemary cultivation near the city of Bofeng In the past few days, these representatives visited Kehorin, and the two sides had a friendly conversation, reached a willingness to form an alliance, and decided to form a free alliance together, fight for independence and freedom, and defend together.

Now that the alliance has been reached, the delegates are eager to get new weapons from Khorin to defend against possible attacks or other threats from the Empire.

Kehorin knows a little bit about Solomon and others, and in his cognition, Solomon said that it was a bit too much, but he was definitely not a good man or woman, and any of their investments were for returns.

Solomon's support for Kehorin and Bofeng City was actually a surprise for both parties, because Kehorin initially approached them by accepting official positions, although the people of Chuangshen wanted to "invest" And got a reward, but he didn't plan to use a few mercenaries who seemed impossible at the time, and if Kehorin hadn't come to Bofeng City, he wouldn't have encountered Ma Shiwen's accident, and he wouldn't have gone out to rob the prison, and he was so deeply involved in the Bofeng City incident, and after his identity as Noriega's son was revealed, there was no better choice now.

These coincidences came together to make Solomon "invest" in Bofeng City, of course, Chuangshen Company will not do a loss-making business, even if it is now in ruins, at least it will use Bofeng City to grow rosemary.

Although the relationship between Kehorin and Solomon and the Creation God Company now seems to be a deal that you and I are willing to do and have our own gains, but because of the contact between Kehorin and Solomon on the way to Bofeng City, he still has a deep distrust of the aliens.

Of course, it is not suitable to show it now, after all, Bofeng City still needs trade with aliens, and he doesn't want other allies to have a relationship with Solomon and them like Bofeng City, but he also knows clearly that he can't stop it.

Because this is just a feeling in his heart, at least until now, the trade between the aliens and them has not made them suffer any losses, on the contrary, when Bofeng City is in the most critical situation, people have also given goods on credit, and he has no way to guarantee that the defense of Bofeng City will be successful and can repay the other party, Solomon's side is generous in advance "investment".

Therefore, no matter what, he will not be able to take revenge, not to mention that these new allies have already regarded the aliens who provided the muskets as lifesavers because of the victory in Bofeng City. If he spoke out to stop him, what would his allies think?

Therefore, Kehorin could only sit aside with a gloomy face, watched Solomon raise his hands and said: "Everyone, we must sort out and negotiate the trade issues that everyone is concerned about, and see what you have in your territory that can trade with us, which will take a certain amount of time, and everyone needs to reach reasonable terms, which also takes time." ”

"But, Mr. Aglavin, you don't seem to have such trouble supporting Bofeng City?"

"Yes, Mr. Agraven, we need the kind of weapon you sold to Khorin. ”

Everyone was gossiping, and Solomon had no choice but to signal everyone to listen calmly and listen to him again, "Our support for Bofeng City is indeed to give some support before the conditions have been negotiated in detail, but this is my personal friendship with Kehorin, which can be regarded as my personal adventure investment, and the subsequent support, both parties have signed a magic contract." Our commodities will be clearly marked, if you can't carry out normal trade quickly, you have enough collateral, we can also introduce a bank loan to you, and then buy our goods. ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and one of them suddenly remembered something and said: "We will bring your intentions back to discuss, but we have also heard that your trade with Bofeng City can sell some seeds for people to plant, and then sell them to you after harvesting, can we also join this item in the trade, if we can, we can bring some seeds back now." ”

"Yes, of course, these seeds are called rosemary, and the purpose of our acquisition is because rosemary can be refined through alchemy to produce a certain substance, which can be used to make our specific goods and sell to others, so if you are willing to grow like Bofeng City, we are very welcome, and we will send experts to guide you. Solomon laughed.

In this way, the cultivation of rosemary can be expanded, as for the so-called guidance, of course, it is to choose the kind of neighborhood with the most dead people to plant, if the uprising in these cities is not as bloody as Bofeng City, then the creation of God Company will "guide" them, anyway, in this continent where the war has broken out, it is much easier to find the dead than Keos.

"Sir, Asturias has sent some of the latest decisions of the Cabinet, and they have asked for a copy to be sent to you. Murphy walked through the door and handed Solomon a copy of the paper.

Regarding the war in South Falmalik and the changes in the situation, Solomon collected detailed information and reported it to Asturias, and the cabinet must have sent someone to the city of Fenian to observe the situation in the guise of ordinary merchants.

Now the cabinet must have made some decisions because of the multifaceted changes in Cologne, and although Solomon is not a member of the cabinet now, it is impossible for the cabinet not to inform him whether it is his status as a royal husband or his potential influence.

"There's one more thing. Murphy's face became a little strange, and he said in a low voice: "The cabinet also informed that the crown prince of Titania, His Royal Highness Tristan, summoned and asked for a private meeting with you." (To be continued......)
