Chapter 1046 The Plague Lord’s Demand List? Do This First!
The flow of people and materials naturally brings wealth.
The growth of wealth has improved people's living standards. The people of the Eagle Country attribute these to the blessings of God, and praise the Eagle God and the Snake God more devoutly.
The devout praises of the people increased the power of the hawk god and snake god, making them even more eager for a large supply of vaccines...
If the vaccine can be widely spread in the lowlands, more people can go to the jungle to collect and hunt, bringing them more wealth;
If the vaccine can be spread widely in the lowlands, the people can be cleared and cleared of jungle, and more corn and pumpkins can be planted for them, as well as more delicious sweet grass;
To say the least, being able to popularize vaccines in the lowlands is also a symbol of the dominance of the Eagle God and the Snake God! Bless the people and protect them from the plague, and more people will believe in them and bring them stronger power!
"The power of the Eagle God and the Snake God has become stronger." On the edge of Tenoch City, in the towering Mage Tower, the Archmage in charge of the Mage Tower looked at the readings given by the tower spirit and remained silent for a long time:
"Although it is very slow, it is definitely getting stronger. It is speculated that it is related to absorbing a large amount of faith power. It is speculated that it is related to the recent widespread popularization of vaccines..."
"Do we need to reduce the supply of vaccines to slow down their growth rate?" A young mage asked impatiently at the round table. Several magicians exchanged looks. Finally, Archmage Heins shook his head slowly:
"No need. Before the airship left, Baierbo and I communicated with them once. Whether it is the snake god or the eagle god, an 18th-level archmage is enough to compete. It is not that easy to advance to level 19 - —””
The level 18 necromancer smiled sadly. A skeleton floated faintly on the black robe, and then he opened his mouth, and his upper jaw and lower jaw collided:
"And even if they advance to level 19, the council will have enough power to suppress them. They will stay sane. If they can't, the council will help them stay sane."
There was a sound of exhalation in the conference room. The magicians relaxed back in their chairs and smiled at each other. The host of the Mage Tower applauded gently:
"Then, the production and supply of the vaccine will be left to you. By the way, here is a list of our needs... Then, the news came from the parliament, hoping to occupy a number of plantations in the Eagle Country and mining areas..."
Archmage Heins: "..."
Are they really using us as coolies?
We are responsible for production, but we are also responsible for negotiation? Are you just going to place orders?
no!
"We are responsible for production, and you are responsible for negotiating! Leave it all to us. How do we know what you need urgently, what you don't need urgently, what you must get, and what you can give in to?"
"But when it comes to vaccines, you guys are in direct contact with each other!"
"We are just a research institute, and you are the personnel who represent the parliament!"
The two archmages quarreled, glared, and slapped the table. After struggling for a while, Mage Tower reluctantly agreed to join the negotiation. Archmage Heins breathed a sigh of relief and immediately threw out two lists:
"This is the demand list of the institute... used to supply the daily needs of researchers, advanced needs, and the research needs of the institute..."
A long list, rich in content and all-inclusive. Gold coins and silver coins used for salary payment (can be converted using contribution points, or can be converted using local coarse gold and coarse silver);
To the daily diet of mutton, beef, fish, shrimps and crabs (which need to be transported by special personnel and kept fresh), fruits, vegetables and drinks;
Then to the supply of various magic crystals for meditation and adjusting elements, to the various glassware and instrument spare parts in the research institute (it is best to have a small glass workshop for daily use);
Then to various mice, chickens, rabbits, dogs, monkeys, and their feed...
"Why do you still need sparkling water? We supply 30 liters a day and ask for it to be iced... I say you are all in the New World, so your requirements should be lower!"
"Please, how can we live in such a hot place without iced sparkling water? The work in the institute is so stressful, why don't we let people drink some sparkling water?"
"No! I don't have any here either! At most, I'll give you baking soda and sugar, and you can mix it yourself! There's no refined white sugar, only local coarse sugar. If you want the best, refine it yourself!"
"Fish and shrimp are provided once a week! If you want more fresh products, you can buy them yourself! - Their white eagle warriors flew with all their might and couldn't even fly here in a day!"
"...Hey! I want you to talk, I want you to talk to the Eagle Country, don't talk to us!"
After a lot of nitpicking, complaining, and struggling, this list was finally divided into those that absolutely must be discussed, those that are best discussed, and those that don’t matter if they are not discussed, and were put aside.
The mages in the mage tower just breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Archmage Heins touch his left wrist with his right hand, and took out another list from his space equipment that looked like a knitted bracelet:
"!!!What is this!"
"Oh, this, this is the need of our Plague Lord and Miss Serira..."
"..."
"..."
"Okay, put this list at the top, and we'll try our best to do it for him..."
Archmage Hines breathed in, breathed out, breathed in again, breathed out again. There were ghostly shadows on the black robe, and if it weren't for the fact that the skeleton had no eyes, I would have almost rolled my eyes:
Why is it that his needs are to "do the best we can" while our institute's needs are more than half picky?
"Because all they ask for are cultivation resources, unlike you, all they ask for is food and drink..."
The needs of the Mage Tower turned into orders when they arrived in the Eagle Kingdom. The indigenous slaves worked hard to cultivate and raise the food to provide the magicians with corn, pumpkins, various vegetables and common meat;
The warriors went deep into the jungle to hunt all kinds of monsters;
The White Eagle warriors specially arranged a route to fly from the port to Tenoch City, delivering the catch from the seaside to the mages and the nobles of Tenoch City...
And this kind of exchange also attracted the attention of Storm Islands. Pirates, or people who usually do business and become pirates when they have the opportunity, bring a steady stream of information to the Governor's Mansion:
“The Eagle Nation has been making a lot of moves recently.”
"Yes, the pirates said that there is a lot more communication between the coast and the interior."
"This is the cat's eye stone they bought from the port... Such a cat's eye stone, the size of a little finger, smooth, moist, well-proportioned in color, without flaws, and with cat's eye halo, only costs 50 gold coins! 50 gold coins! "
"You can't even buy it here with 100 gold coins... If you send it to Brolin Kingdom, it will be at least twice as much. If you send it to the Glory Holy City, it will be set into rings on the hands of ladies, or pendants of bishops. It can be worth more than 100 gold coins." Thousand gold coins!”
"They have opened many plantations along the river, planting sugar cane, vanilla, allspice, coffee beans and various crops... In the long run, the things in our plantations will not be easy to sell!"
"Get a wave?"
"...It's not appropriate now." The new archbishop, Archbishop Bello Coelho in golden robes, who was sent by the Glory Holy City to preside over the situation, slowly shook his head:
"We have limited manpower and cannot launch a war against the Eagle Kingdom for the time being. It is not our territory in the first place. Even if we cannot occupy it, it is not lost. Besides, that trash in Teramo has lost too many good people..."
Governor Balmond sighed in disappointment. Among the masters who lost was one of his personal guards, a level 14--a great swordsman who was about to reach level 15. It was really heartbreaking.
If such a person is lost, how many resources will be needed to cultivate him...
"However, you can encourage the pirates to harass. Find someone to spread the news. The Eagle Country has rich gold mines and a few maps..."
"Your Excellency is wise!" Governor Balmond immediately gave a thumbs up and praised:
"Those pirates, what impresses them most is gold! As long as there is gold, they are willing to carry the ship over the mountains and through the rain forest!"
Moreover, those pirates could not cast steel knives, repair ships, make wine, or weave beautiful silks... let alone pray to God, receive treatment and holy water...
The things they robbed will eventually be returned to the city of La Habana...
The relationship between the rulers of the Storm Islands and the pirates was originally one and two, two and one. No ruler openly condones pirates, but every ruler secretly uses and restrains pirates——
Rely on them to gain wealth, rely on them to attack dissidents, rely on them to intimidate disobedient people...
"By the way, make the map look more like it, and add some blood or something to make it look like it was secretly hidden by the people brought out by the former deputy governor and the former archbishop!"
With the intentional or unintentional promotion of the Governor and the Archbishop, pirates gradually infiltrated the territory of the Eagle Kingdom, especially the lowlands under the plateau.
Unlike serious businessmen, pirates' ships are light and small. They can stop anywhere and can penetrate any forest——
On the long beach, as soon as you park the boat anywhere, you can drop off a group of people and sneak in with a map. Let’s go! Let’s go! As long as you can touch the mines and get gold, you can make a fortune!
It is said that in that mine, a handful of sand was picked up by the stream, and there were gold particles in it. Someone tripped over the gold while walking!
"There have been a lot more outsiders coming recently." On the shore of the port, the magician guarding the mage tower adjusted the invisible servants and manipulated them to sweep hundreds of miles around. The secret eye carried by the invisible servant projected a screen of light, revealing a sneaky figure:
"If you don't enter the port, don't take the main road, and just dodge and take the side roads... you are definitely not a good person!"
"Inform the surrounding tribes and tighten their vigilance? Or arrest them?"
"No... the previous plan can be launched." The presiding mage looked at the recent patrol records and found with satisfaction that the number of people wandering ashore has reached more than a hundred people every day:
"Inform the surrounding tribes. If you see these people who don't take the main road, lure them into the forest... into the dense forest! After you have lured them away, report to us and we will pay them!"
