Chapter 997: Parliament Buys Land for 999 Years! (Night Dream Bing Ten Thousand Rewards Plus Update 3)

Silver versus gold.

Silver versus gold.

Magic crystals are exchanged for gold, monsters are exchanged for gold, magic plants are exchanged for gold...

The country of the eagle is full of joy and pain. Happily, we are getting closer and closer to paying off the debt. Seeing that only two-thirds of the debt owed is left... only half is left... only one-third is left...

Painfully, the treasury is running low. Not only was the treasury empty, but the temples were also empty, and the nobles' property was also empty. Almost all of the family's warehouses, utensils, decorations, scraps and corners that could be used were dragged out to pay off the debt——

What, not using it to pay off debts? This debt is owed in the name of the gods. Failure to repay the debt is disloyal to the gods!

If you are not faithful to God and are not pious, do you still want to receive God’s grace? Does your son still want to advance from the Black Eagle Warrior to the White Eagle Warrior, and from the White Eagle Warrior to one day be able to advance to the Golden Eagle Warrior?

Does your daughter or daughter-in-law still want to become a snake god priest? Even if you can't become the highest-level female snake, you don't want to have anything to do with low-level or mid-level priestesses? Don’t you want to clean the temple steps?

Such a family, without the force to support it, would easily collapse and be annexed! By then, the former nobles will either die or become slaves!

"If it doesn't work, let's start another war." In the temple, the noble system represented by Tratoani, the warrior system represented by the Golden Eagle leader, and the female snake system represented by Chihuakoto sat together with solemn expressions:

"Send troops to attack the surrounding city-states and ask them to pay as much gold and treasure as possible... Anyway, all their soldiers have been captured by us, so the remaining people should not dare to resist?"

"But...all the gold ornaments on the warriors were handed in...without the gold ornaments, the power of the Eagle God," the Golden Eagle leader frowned and looked at Chihuakoto:

"Can the snake god protect us? Can our warriors in the lowlands and jungles not be bitten by poisonous insects and snakes, and not be troubled by diseases?"

"This... is still possible in the short term... But you know, the great snake god accepted the sacrifice and is now sleeping, unable to exert much power... In the previous war, in order to treat the brave warriors, the female The snakes have also been exhausted..."

"That would be troublesome..."

The senior officials of the Eagle Empire are meeting to discuss, and the magicians are also meeting to discuss. Archmage Baierbo sat at the head of the conference table, looking around at the other archmages with a relaxed and happy expression:

"First of all, let me tell you some good news. Our operation in the Eagle Country has achieved excellent results. Currently, the total gold belonging to the Parliament..."

He lowered his head and flipped through the account book:

"About 400 tons of gold."

There was a round of applause. 400 tons! Although a large part of this harvest will be shared with the parliament - the airships are not deployed for nothing - it is impossible for each person to be allocated dozens of life-size golden statues according to the previous contract.

A level 18 Archmage can always have two or three golden statues, right?

Further down, there is a level 15 Archmage and a golden statue. This shouldn’t be a dream, right?

Going further down, as well as the archmage's guard warriors, we can still think about getting a bust or avatar, right?

A life-size gold statue is about 1.5 tons, converted into gold coins... 180,000 gold coins... suck...

Even if the gold handed over by the natives is impure, with only 90% or 80% content, and it still needs to be purified and smelted, there will still be 150,000 or 140,000 gold coins!

Just thinking about it makes me happy!

"And other high-priced magic materials that are almost the same value as this batch of gold - I mean, according to the local market price of Eagle Country, they are almost the same value. The specific value needs to be returned to the Parliament for further evaluation."

More enthusiastic applause. After further evaluation after returning to the parliament, it was not based on the price of the Eagle Kingdom. Two or three times is a small amount, and ten times is not unusual!

In this wave, the contribution points allocated to individuals will probably be enough to help them survive for at least three years? Little Gretel is indeed our lucky star! Lucky star!

We need to build a good relationship with him in the future. If something good happens next time, you can take us there again...

Look at this time, the evocation and necromancy systems have reaped the biggest benefits. The other schools can’t eat meat and can only drink some soup...

Archmage Baierbo looked around with a smile. He was full of energy, but he also had to be careful not to raise the corners of his mouth too high to avoid envy and jealousy from other schools. He waited for a while, waiting for the applause around him to subside, and then said seriously:

"But I also want to draw everyone's attention to an issue. - After intensive debt repayment, the wealth of the Eagle Country has basically been squeezed out by us. Whether it is the palace, the temple, or the nobles -"

He paused and looked serious:

"This is very detrimental to subsequent development. Ultimately, we hope that when the adventurers guided by the council come here, they will see a rich place where wealth can be made everywhere, rather than a country that has been plundered by us. "

The smiles of the magicians slowly faded. Indeed, such a country, its location, its fighting power, and the produce of its surrounding wilderness are assets more valuable than gold and silver.

To develop this kind of wealth, a steady stream of adventurers is very necessary. Without wealth everywhere, without legends about traveling thousands of miles and making a fortune, how could it attract a large number of adventurers?

"so?"

Archmage Vickers interfaced in a timely manner. Archmage Baierbo nodded to him and continued:

"So I suggest that we start our negotiation plan in advance. Ask the Eagle Country to purchase - or lease for a long time - some of their areas to build our mage tower, exchange, and other related facilities."

"Can."

Archmage Haines was the first to agree. Archmage Mansfield smiled and said:

"I have found locations for the mage towers here and at the port. If we want to build a few more along the road or along the river, I will have to run around a lot more."

"It's best to make the area larger."

"There must be a large area next to the big market. It is best to separate purchases from purchases, sales from sales, and those who sell equipment, medicines, scrolls, and repair weapons and armors... By the way, taverns and hotels No less…”

"Do you need me to come with you?" Archmage Parisi of the prophecy department and astrology branch proactively asked. The daily research scope of the astrology branch includes meteorology. He has considerable research on meteorology, hydrology, soil quality, etc.:

"Lest you find a place to build a mage tower and it will be washed away by the river next year..."

"Bah, bah, bah!"

The archmages spoke, laughed, and quickly reached an agreement. Archmage Vickers personally went to Tratoani to discuss cooperation matters:

"Use the land to pay off the debt? Of course!" Tratoani agreed immediately without even thinking about it. Not only did he agree, he actually breathed a sigh of relief:

Thank God, no more wars, no more bleeding of soldiers! Those white ghosts are really difficult to deal with. Even though they have powerful allies, their losses are still not small...

"You can choose! You can choose anywhere you want! Except for palaces, temples and holy places, wherever you like, it will be yours!"

With a crash, a large piece of cowhide was spread out on the table. The magicians exchanged it with the buffalo tribe. After removing the hair, tanning, and dyeing, it was made into a map of several square meters. Then the terrain scanned by the airship was accurately engraved on it:

"Is it okay to pick whatever you want here?"

"this……"

Tratoani hesitated.

Just when Archmage Vickers thought he was going to fall out, or feel sorry for the land, the "speaker" of the Eagle Country, the "king" or "speaker" as the mages understood him, hesitated on the map, Drawing a circle around the alpine basin:

"Outside this circle, there are other city-states... They just surrendered to us and presented us with tributes and human sacrifices. However, we must discuss land matters separately with them..."

Archmage Vickers' vision went dark.

This is the most troublesome situation! After talking to this tribe, you have to talk to that tribe;

After talking to that tribe, you still have to talk to the new tribe;

After a while, if a new tribe rises up and destroys the previous tribe, what we talked about before will probably not count!

These are the pitfalls that the Council has fallen into time and time again when discussing cooperation with the orcs and barbarians. We can’t fall into them again here! This contract must be pressed against the Eagle Country, and it must be pressed firmly!

"In this way, let's first talk about... the big market near the capital. We need to enclose a piece of land, which is about half the size of a palace. We need to be able to freely renovate... For this, we are willing to pay a piece of gold as big as a person's head..."

"There is too little gold for a big head. This is a big market!" Although Tratoani didn't know the bottom line of the council and didn't have a correct understanding of the valuation of prime locations, he still bargained instinctively:

"At least... I need at least a life-size golden statue before I can give you this place!"

"Too many! At most one-third! If you don't sell this land to us, no one else can afford it!"

"half!"

"If it's half a golden statue, then this land will belong to us forever! Even if Tratoani is replaced, as long as the Eagle God and the Snake God are together for the same day, this land will always belong to us!"

"That won't work! At most ninety-nine dry seasons and ninety-nine rainy seasons!"

"This time is too short. Could it be that your eagle god and snake god will only live for another ninety-nine years? It will take at least nine hundred and ninety-nine dry seasons and nine hundred and ninety-nine rainy seasons!"

"Then...we need to add more gold! One...no, two gold statues!"

Archmage Vickers bargained and exchanged words with Tratoani, and finally bought a prime area around the big market and the mountains and lakes, three areas with the richest energy and the most stable geology.

In total, the total area exceeds 100 square kilometers, which can be used to build three mage towers and their supporting facilities, covering the capital of the Eagle Kingdom.

None of this has used up one-third of the debt gap. Archmage Vickers wiped his sweat and continued the negotiation:

This wave will take down all the ports below, the rivers from the ports to the plateau, and the strongholds next to the rivers!
