Chapter 1014 Go to the West! Go West! Go Make Big Money!
Grete immersed himself in the research institute, obsessed with mutating viruses, screening viruses, and cultivating viruses, and he didn't know how much time had passed.
He didn't know that Cerela had chosen a temporary lair on the top of a snowy mountain not far away, spread out her gold rolls, and took Mr. Trocca to play there every day;
He didn't know that even the nearby city of Tenoch had entered the rainy season, and the clouds began to gather. It rained heavily day and night, and the water in the lake began to gradually rise;
He didn't know that a storm was rising at sea, and the ships were pulling in their moorings and sails to take shelter from the wind. The door of Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne's "Flint and Jasmine Adventure Outfitters" was blown open twice. Fortunately, Ms. Jasmine rushed to force vines to prevent the roof from being torn off;
Of course, he was even less aware of how much of a sensation the Parliament's action against the Eagle Country had caused in Nevis and the Kingdom of Kent.
"250 tons of gold... various precious gems of similar local value... magic crystals... magical beasts... animal bones... feathers... plants... various specialties..."
When the Archmage Tower of Tenoch City was erected, this rough news had already been sent back to Nevis, and was circulated among the judges and the legendary mages. Such a huge fortune, even a legendary mage cannot ignore:
"With this gold, the parliament will have more money to spend in the next few years!"
The Treasurer of the Magic Council and the Prophecy Jury member, Archmage Farric Yano, was beaming with joy. Although there is no clear guidance from economic theory, financial officials of all ages have a clear concept: how much money is earned, how much money is spent.
Although the [Contribution Points] of the Parliament are only circulated internally in name, they have never refused to redeem them from outsiders who are qualified and friendly to the Parliament. There is always a scale for how many contribution points are sent out:
How much gold is in the secret vault, how many products the council produces and sells that year, how many contribution points can be issued. There is less gold, less products, and the products cannot be sold. I’m sorry, let’s tighten our belts together and live a hard life.
And this time, 250 tons of gold!
A few years ago, the Parliament used the Third Fleet and the alchemy ship [Philosopher's Stone], and several legendary mages took action. Together with the kingdom's navy, they contacted the dwarves, barbarians, vampires and orcs, and worked hard to intercept the golden fleet of the Glorious Holy See——
After using such a large array of forces, the gold that finally fell into the hands of the parliament was not even a fraction of this figure!
Sent! ! !
"Rare materials worth 250 tons of gold!" The eyes of the review committee member of the Change Department were also shining. In the local area, the price of materials worth 250 tons of gold can more than five times increase when shipped to Nevis——
The important thing is that this is the material from the southwest of the New World, the Kingdom of Eagles! Many of these things have never been seen before by the council, and they are worthy of the transformation magicians to identify and figure out!
Just by studying these materials, the per capita level of low-level transformation magicians can be raised by one or two levels!
There are also many supplies that were specialties of the Storm Islands in the past. The parliament could not reach out, so it had to be trafficked through second-tier dealers. The price was high and the quantity was small. This time a wave of luck is coming, hehe, hehe, hehe...
In the mind of this review member, he has already drawn up a long list, all of which are magic props that cannot be produced due to insufficient raw materials, or cannot be produced in large quantities:
"Flying Cloak...Sunlight Bracers...Swan Ship Amulet...Rainbow Robe..."
With a large number of precious feathers and precious gems, if these props can be produced in large quantities, they can greatly enhance the overall strength of the parliament!
"Open up! Open up! Open up to the southern part of the New World!"
"Extend our power there!"
"It just so happens that the opponent's strength is greatly damaged! Send our strength over there!"
"Ahem..."
Alize Usman, the rotating committee member of the Energy Evocation Department, coughed slightly. He raised his eyes, looked around with ice blue eyes, and said in a cold voice:
"What's the rush? This kind of thing needs to be done slowly, fully planned, and it's best to mobilize private forces - I would say, it's best to advance both by sea and land, open more seaports on the seaside, build more mage towers, and let merchant ships When they see they can make money, they will naturally go there;”
She glanced around and saw the prophecy, transformation, and conjuration departments. Several committee members were nodding their heads and raising a slight smile:
"On land, thanks to our Nordmark mage, he helped us build relationships along the way. Show the harvest to the settlements on the east coast of the New World and tell them there is a lot of gold there - I don't believe it, gold can't attract people They run over!"
"In addition to us magicians, it is best to let the nobles and private adventurers also participate." The jury member of the protection department suggested in a gentle voice:
"Can the airship change its course and stop in the capital? You can even hold a triumphal ceremony and send a few gifts to the queen! Let the nobles see that we have opened up this road, the Eagle's Road The state owns gold! There is treasure!"
The judges discussed each other carefully for a long time and made a detailed plan to report to the legendary mage. Soon, the decision from Nevis was passed from the Tower of Babel to the Archmage Tower in Tenoch, and then to Archmage Baierbo and his team:
"Go to the settlement to show off? Then go to the capital to show off? No problem!"
James Lowe walked back from the wilderness to the small town of Waltham, carrying a skin bag that was half the height of a man, and walked into a leather shop.
——It has been several years since he left the Kent Kingdom and came to the New World.
That year, on the orders of Baron Hopman, he went to assassinate a mage named Gretel Nordmark. After following him for several days, he lay down on the rafters for a whole night. He prepared to take action three times, but failed to find an opportunity three times.
Either there are masters around me, or there are masters around me...
He gritted his teeth, returned to the baron's castle, picked up his family, boarded a ship, and came to the New World. With the skills of a level 7 assassin, he could actually live a pretty good life by going into the wilderness, hunting wild beasts, and collecting rare plants. Although it is a bit more miserable, it is peaceful!
You don't have to be ordered by the baron to kill this one today and that one tomorrow. You will be disgusted by him day by day, and you may even be thrown away as an abandoned child!
But James Lowe was getting older every day. From 40 years old to 45 years old, then to 46 years old, to 47 years old, we are about to reach 50 years old. As a level 7 assassin, his body will not age immediately, but if he wants to make a lot of money, it will only take a few years...
The eldest son has failed to live up to his expectations and has not yet achieved a breakthrough as a knight. The younger daughter also needs a generous dowry if she wants to marry into a good family...
He sold the bison skins, beaver skins, fire fox skins, and a precious leopard skin that had been lurking for half a month and went through life and death before being fetched, and sold them one by one in exchange for a bag of jingling gold coins.
Well, with this money, you can buy a bottle of [Blood Burning Potion] for knight advancement, plus ask the bishop of the God of War Temple to take action once. It is said that the temple has recently developed a new method that can reduce the risk of advanced death to infinitely close to zero...
It would be great if the eldest son could break through the Cavaliers. When the time comes, he will also prepare a knight's armor for his son and a dowry for his youngest daughter. A harvest like today will come at least seven or eight times, which means it will take three to five years of hard work.
James Lowe stepped out of the leather shop and squinted his eyes slightly to adapt to the sunshine outside. Suddenly, there were exclamations one after another around him.
"Airship!"
"Airship!"
"The airship is back!"
James Lowe looked up along the lines of sight of the people around him. An airship, larger than several houses put together, slowly crossed the sky and lowered its altitude. On both sides of the road, many shopkeepers came out to look, pointing and admiring:
"It's the parliament's airship!"
"A few months ago, I stopped here for three days and then flew west. It was said that I was going to the westernmost part of the New World!"
"Now that I'm back, I wonder what the outcome will be?"
"Old Bob went with them. It was said that he was going to that Eagle Country to make a fortune! I don't know if he has made a fortune? What good things can be found in such a distant indigenous land?"
People on the street were talking a lot. After a while, "bang", "bang" and "bang" shop closing sounds were heard one after another in the surrounding streets. James Lowe came back to his senses and looked around, only to see that many shops were closed——
The shopkeepers and guys rushed to a flat plateau outside the town, rushing towards the slowly descending airship.
Run!
Run!
Go and see what good things there are in the distant Eagle Country!
James Lowe tightened his purse and, relying on his strength and vigilance, also rushed over. After running to the high ground, a wind barrier had been erected around the high ground. A magician stood high on the magic carpet and turned on the amplification technique and shouted:
"Everyone, don't crowd! Don't crowd! - The airship will be parked here for three days, and the relevant harvests of the Eagle Kingdom will be displayed in the square in front of the Mage Tower! Everyone can go and see it then! Please spread out now, let's Let’s replenish supplies!”
Magicians keep their word. Starting from the next day, the square in front of the Master Tower was crowded with people, and people from half the town crowded in. James Lowe lined up and took a look, and was dizzy on the spot:
gold!
gold!
Gold plates, gold bowls, gold crowns, gold necklaces, gold bracelets, gold masks...
Ruby, sapphire, obsidian, sunstone, tourmaline, opal...
Feathers are colorful and contain powerful magic power at first glance...
"There are many gold mines and gem mines there!" The mages responsible for the display smiled and took the trouble:
"The production capacity of the local indigenous people is very backward. They don't know how to make iron, and they even have very few bronzes! - The steel knives, iron axes, and even sewing needles we brought over sold very well to the indigenous people! A piece of steel Making daggers can be exchanged for two large pieces of complete cowhide!"
"When they dig for gold, they use a wooden box to dig in shallow streams! Because there are no iron products, they can only dig a little bit of the surface of the earth..."
"Is there any danger on the road? There must be, but we have already negotiated with the indigenous tribes!" The mage in charge showed an iron piece, on which a bright blue six-pointed star was burned out using the mage's special craftsmanship:
"If you have this sign, you are a friend! Follow the map. As long as you don't show hostility to the indigenous tribes along the way, they will not attack you! You can stay, buy water and food from them, and even sell goods. give them!"
"Is there a plague in the Eagle Kingdom? - Well, this is the latest paper, which has been posted at the door of the mage tower! As long as you buy anti-mosquito magic equipment, you no longer need to be afraid of the plague in the jungle!"
James Lowe was breathing rapidly. He looked at the treasures in the square one by one, then turned back to look at the town and the new home he finally bought:
Do you want to go to the depths of the New World to work hard while you still have the energy to save a fortune for your family, your children, and for your own old age?
