Chapter 651 No One Can Stop the Drow From Sending Us Money! (8000)
Of course, even in the underground world with very rich reserves of rare metals, the reserves of fine gold are relatively small, and not every drow city-state has mineral veins.
Every transaction led by Sera cannot have an astonishing profit of more than 8,000 times.
However, any kind of rare metal has a price of hundreds of gold coins per gram, and the profit is more than a thousand times, which is simply more satisfying than robbery.
The more important point is that as long as Sera spreads the word, someone will automatically send money to her door.
There are only two things she has to do:
Show your strength, flex your muscles.
Transport large amounts of food and keep it safe.
Not only can it dispel some unrealistic ideas of drow, but it can also show their own strength and prestige.
Sera thought very clearly that since she has taken on the banner of the Mistress of Azshara City, she must stand firm, stand firm, and strike ruthlessly.
If you don't chop off thousands of heads, you probably won't be able to scare the greedy drow.
Sera thinks quickly and has many things on her mind. She is already thinking about expansion and stability issues after her strength is improved.
For these drow elves, the issue of trade has just begun.
"I have 472 jackals, and I want to exchange them all for food..."
"I have 56 ogres, including two ogre warriors, and I need to replace them all with food..."
"I have 1,762 kobolds, including 4 kobold wizards. I think they should be counted as magical creatures..."
"I have 87 tauren. I think this price is too low. It needs to be at least 1,000 times more appropriate..."
"I have 742 snow spirit grasses here. I think they cost at least 30,000 times the price..."
"1 kilogram of fine gold is ready to be exchanged for 3,500 tons of grain..."
"500 grams of mithril, I need 900 tons of grain..."
"..."
As soon as someone started to raise the price, other greedy drows were naturally not far behind.
Sera had already thought that these guys would definitely bargain.
But she showed extraordinary calmness and magnanimity.
They allowed these guys to keep talking and only gave Farmiel a look to bargain quickly.
Faced with a pair of wolf-like eyes, Famil, who had received professional training, couldn't help but exhale secretly.
She suppressed the thoughts in her heart and glanced at Cui Xisi who was about to sneak away. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she immediately said:
"You come with me, you haven't gotten your reward yet."
When Cui Xisi heard this, she wanted to run away, but she noticed the looks from around her and didn't dare to have such an idea at all.
The resentment in her heart almost broke through the sky, and she put on a surprise smile on her face and walked over as if she had resigned herself to her fate.
She faced the sneer face of the drow elf and spoke quickly and neatly:
"Your Excellency has a total of 247 tauren. How many tauren soldiers are there among them that can participate in the battle?"
The smile froze slightly, and the drow immediately put on a serious face. Just as he was about to threaten her harshly, he saw Gartel's burly figure standing quietly behind Trixis.
Those cold and appraising eyes made the drow commander shiver involuntarily.
"How could this human being have such terrifying strength?"
"If he wants, he can even kill me instantly!"
The drow was very accurate in reading people. When he met Trixis's calm eyes, he slowed down his tone and continued to fight for his own interests:
"Although there are only 50 tauren warriors, the remaining ones are all cubs and fertile females, and their value is also not low."
Cui Xisi naturally knew that she was already hated by the other party. Thinking of the resentment of the large number of drow elves behind her, she could only pray silently in her heart.
I hope this Mistress Sera is really different!
Otherwise, Cui Xisi doubted that she would never survive tonight.
She couldn't help but cheer up. Since it was unavoidable, she could only show higher value and not become a chess piece that was abandoned casually.
Even if she is a chess piece, she must be the most useful one!
"That was true a month ago, but it's different now. I think the tauren warriors can get 750 times the food, and the others can only get 420 times..."
"The point is now, isn't it?"
Although he was still a little unhappy, the drow were not willing to drag it out any longer.
The price offered by Azshara City is already 30% higher than Suramar.
This deal must be completed as soon as possible!
So, the drow commander agreed, but took one last deep look at Trixis, preparing to keep her in his heart.
Cui Xisi was indifferent and immediately started negotiating the second deal.
To Farmil's expectation, Cuisi knew the market price very well.
The judgment of the psychological price of drow is also quite accurate.
Often the price can be negotiated in two or three meetings.
Famil, who felt surprisingly relaxed, quickly completed the first transaction.
The drow who received the transaction voucher and confirmed that Farmir had paid the transaction tax to Suramar happily handed over more than 200 tauren slaves.
The underground area of the accommodation complex.
It was a large area of cages specially designed to hold slaves, and Sera directly rented a large area.
Jean Gatel sent a small group of Catachan warriors to guard it, and also sent adventurers to patrol and be vigilant.
Don't ever think that Suramar is safe!
The drow have always believed in assassination and conspiracy!
As long as they are not "seen" or "caught", conspiracy and crime do not exist!
Although Sera is not afraid of the drow's methods, she does not want to cause trouble.
Sera was quite surprised by Tracis's performance.
Not only does she know all kinds of drow very well, she is also a good trader and very smart.
Thinking of the territory's desire for talents, Sera was naturally moved.
The whole transaction process lasted for an afternoon.
Sera received nearly 30,000 slaves in total.
The most valuable of them were more than 200 ogres, more than 800 tauren, and more than 2,000 special slaves of different species.
The total weight of the slaves was about 3,000 tons.
Sera paid 30 times the price, a total of 90,000 tons of food.
It only cost 9,000 gold coins in total!
According to the statistics of the Gulf Territory, these more than 30,000 slaves can create more than 1 million gold coins in profits for the Gulf Territory every year.
The total value over a period of 10 years can reach 10 million gold coins!
Even though most of the slaves sold by the drow elves have various problems.
In the next battle, they either cannot play a role or play a limited role, and some will even drag their feet.
But for the Gulf Territory, such slaves are easier to train and re-educate.
And this is only part of the harvest.
What makes Sera even more happy is naturally the various materials brought out by the drow elves.
There are nearly 30 kilograms of various high-quality rare metals, worth more than 15 million gold coins.
There are only 1.5 tons of high-quality magic plants, worth 5 gold coins per gram, worth about 7.5 million gold coins.
It cost 70,000 tons of food to buy rare metals, and 30,000 tons of food to buy high-quality magic plants.
The value of 100,000 tons of food is only 10,000 gold coins in total!
19,000 gold coins of food in exchange for 32.5 million gold coins in profit!
More than 1,700 times the return!
Time, place, and materials are all indispensable!
Encountering such good luck, Sera quickly gave new orders to the dungeon managers to prepare materials, and continued to give adventurers new tasks to transport materials.
For every drow elf who completed the transaction, Sera would give them a subtle hint when they left.
"You have all become partners of the city of Azshara."
"If you need other materials, you can also contact us."
"In addition to food, we also have many materials needed for war."
"As for the space equipment for storing materials, it will be given to everyone for free."
Most of the drow elves chose to believe what Sera said.
The reason is simple. A powerful mistress who can take out nearly 200,000 tons of food at a time must have a very powerful city, or even several.
Although such mistresses are rare, they have not appeared among the many drow elves.
Moblesoe City, which calls on everyone to participate in the battle, is a very vivid example.
Moreover, whether it is the powerful magic weapons and equipment worn by Sera or the powerful slaves under her command, they are enough to illustrate her strength and energy.
Perhaps, this Sera mistress saw the opportunity of this war and prepared a large number of materials to expand her strength and troops.
Yes, most of the drow elves still believe that Sera came to Suramar to seize the opportunity to purchase a large number of slaves.
They naturally believe that only Sera mistress, who owns a large territory, can feed these slaves who cannot participate in the battle immediately.
Many drow elves are tempted by the "transaction" that Sera vaguely mentioned.
At present, they are about to face a very difficult war.
If they can get a batch of war materials from Sera, then at least they will be able to save their lives.
Of course, compared with these inferior slaves and raw materials, the war materials sold by Sera must be more expensive.
But for the drow elves with a long life, as long as they get through this difficult time, there are slaves to help them collect various wealth.
After calculating the benefits, Sera glanced at Famir who was also shocked, turned around with a smile, and said to the silent Cui Xisi:
"You are very useful to me!"
After hearing this, Cui Xisi finally put down her heart.
But she soon felt more pressure. The more she contacted Sera, the more she understood her "power".
Controlling so much food and supplies can explain many problems.
Sera did not waste time and said to Cui Xisi with a smile:
"Take her to see our supplies so that she can have a bottom line."
"Also, deal with those stupid fools who don't have eyes, so as not to disturb us."
"Remind those guys to prepare for the battle."
"The transaction is only incidental. We need to join the battle and have more say."
After hearing this, Famir nodded in surprise and said to Cui Xisi on the side:
"Let's go. This time you have made a great contribution. There will be many surprises!"
Surprise?
The surprise is big enough now!
Looking at the dim lights not far away, Cui Xisi walked behind Famiel.
She could vaguely feel that this tall and slender drow seemed to be a little bit wrong.
But when she noticed the dozen or so burly Catachan warriors following behind her, Tracis decisively abandoned other thoughts.
These Catachan warriors seemed plain, but in fact they gave her a very dangerous feeling.
There were not many people in the whole city of Suramar who could give her such pressure.
In a trance, Tracis walked out of Suramar.
As soon as she left the city gate, Tracis immediately woke up. She could vaguely feel that someone had been staring at her.
The threat of being like a thorn in the back made Tracis wary.
She looked at Famiel who was nonchalant on the side, thinking that she hadn't noticed anything.
But Famiel winked at her lightly.
This sudden playful expression made Tracis stunned directly.
"They've been prepared?"
Trishis recalled what Sera had said to Famiel just now, vaguely understood something, and pretended to be calm and continued to follow.
They walked about 2 kilometers.
They left the light of Suramar City and entered the dark underground world.
Those guys hiding in the dark finally couldn't help but jump out.
Dense shadow arrows flew over.
Just as Traishis was about to dodge, she saw that more than a dozen Catachan warriors around her did not move, only the two in the front rushed towards the flying arrows.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Traishis only saw a series of flashing sparks, and only one or two arrows were left.
Famiel, who was standing next to her, waved his hand, and a layer of shining magic shield blocked everyone in front of him.
Noticing the scimitar that Tracith had drawn, Famiel did not feel any tension, but comforted her by saying:
"Don't worry, we will definitely ensure your safety."
As soon as Famiel finished speaking, Tracith heard a shrill scream from afar.
She then noticed that the two Catachan warriors who had just rushed out had disappeared from her sight.
"It's the voice of the drow elves!"
"Are they so strong?"
"More than 10 drow elf hunters were killed. The interval between battles was very short, and they had almost no power to resist..."
"They were well prepared..."
"Azshara City? I've never heard of it before..."
"..."
Tracith, who had sharp hearing, looked at the two returning Catachan warriors in a trance.
There were no wounds on their bodies, not even blood stains. If they hadn't held two drow elves wailing in their hands, Tracith would never have thought of the battle they had just fought.
Just when Tracith was uneasy, Famiel walked up quickly and waved to the two drow elves who were wailing.
Their screams stopped immediately, as if the pain had disappeared, and their expressions became blank.
Seeing this scene, Cui Xisi subconsciously tightened the handle of the knife.
The skill that Famiel showed casually was "Instant Casting" + "Multiple Casting" that she had never expected.
This is at least a senior spellcaster at the peak of the high level!
Cui Xisi was very lucky that she had always been obedient and had not had any thoughts that she shouldn't have.
Otherwise, just this one move of Famiel would have easily taken her down.
Putting down the staff in his hand and shaking his head with some regret, Famiel gestured to tie up the two captives and said:
"What they said is of no value. Heal their wounds and save their lives."
"Let's go to the camp first. It's safer there. There are too many flies here."
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised the staff and pointed it at the darkness in the distance.
The blazing sun exploded!
The huge, hot fireball flew into the darkness in the distance in an instant.
Cui Xisi opened her mouth slightly and vaguely saw more than 10 fleeing figures surrounded by the exploding flames.
Boom!
After a long time after the fierce flames exploded, the roaring explosions came one after another.
Cui Xisi swallowed her saliva and walked towards Famier who waved at her unconsciously.
This unprecedented spellcasting technique is enough to show that Famier comes from a powerful and profound spellcasting organization.
This is a very thick thigh, just hold it tightly.
Or, the mysterious city of Azshara should bring her enough surprises.
Of course, it is more likely to be a shock.
Just as Cui Xisi was thinking hard about how to get closer to Famier.
She had unknowingly come to a huge hillside.
She stared blankly at the towering stone wall, watching the patrolling soldiers on it, and asked in a daze:
"Are we there yet?"
Famiel looked at the quickly built temporary camp, nodded somewhat dissatisfiedly and said:
"They are a little slow. Without qualified construction personnel, they will still be far behind."
"Is this still slow?"
"I have never heard of any temporary camps in this area!"
"Is this just built this afternoon? This is too exaggerated."
With a dull look in her eyes, Cui Xisi followed Famiel's footsteps and quickly walked to the entrance of the temporary camp.
The two rows of burly steel golems brought a lot of pressure to Cui Xisi.
She was afraid that these powerful steel monsters would suddenly wake up, swing their heavy fists, and smash her into pieces.
Bang!
Violent movement caused a tremor on the ground.
Two even larger steel golems suddenly appeared in front of Cui Xisi's eyes.
The red light swept over, and if she hadn't seen Famir's action of telling her to stand still, Cuisi would have run away with her life.
When the two steel golems passed by, Cui Xisi felt that she was breaking out in a cold sweat behind her.
The surprise brought by the two special steel golems had not faded away. When Trixis first walked in the door, she saw an incredible scene.
Five steel monsters more than 10 meters high are busy in the temporary camp.
Some of them use robotic arms, some use steel cables, some use claws, and some use buckets, and they are busy at the construction site.
"These are engineering golems. After receiving mission instructions, they can automatically build strong temporary houses..."
These things were still within the range that Cui Xisi could understand, but when she saw a large group of tauren warriors arranging and training obediently, she was completely confused.
When did the rebellious tauren become so obedient?
You know, these extremely stubborn tauren have been regarded by the drow as savage monsters without intelligence.
Even though they are physically strong, full of explosive power, strong fighting ability, and very aggressive, they are very good slave warriors.
But the drow elves are still not optimistic about these minotaurs, calling them stupid minotaurs!
Their intelligence is relatively low and it is difficult for them to understand complex commands.
The name Minotaur came from the mouths of the drow elves.
What now?
Each of these minotaurs is very "obedient" and behaves not stupidly at all.
Trixis immediately thought, no wonder Sera didn't care whether the tauren could participate in the battle.
With these powerful tauren warriors around, those stupid tauren probably don't like the mistress either.
"What special domestication ability and skill is it?"
Cui Xisi didn't dare to think too much, for fear that she might guess the truth of the matter and cause greater trouble.
In addition to these strange tauren, Cuisi also saw various scenes that shocked her.
Gnolls lined up neatly.
A goblin who controls an exoskeleton.
Kobolds digging underground tunnels.
Various magical machines.
A huge number of containers.
These things give Trish a special feeling.
Each performs his or her duties and utilizes their respective strengths.
Even if I am dreaming, I cannot dream of such a scene in front of me.
Because there are many things that Cuixi has never thought of.
Farmir led Trixis to the container, opened the door, pointed at the shining magic crossbow inside, and said to the stunned Trixis:
"There are 2,000 of these crossbows in one container. There are 5 containers here, and this is only the first batch..."
"The container at the back stores a large number of magic leather armors, which are very suitable for drow archers, hunters, and scouts..."
"The innermost containers contain high-quality enchanted weapons..."
The large amount of supplies made Cui Xisi blink involuntarily. She hesitated for a while before asking:
"With the surveillance of Suramar City, it is difficult to sell these weapons and equipment quietly..."
Unexpectedly, Farmir shrugged his shoulders as if nothing had happened, and answered softly in a calm and confident tone:
"We are not prepared to be silent. Today we have released the news."
"Those drow who already know about our existence will come as soon as possible to buy war supplies."
Cui Xisi immediately thought of the reason.
According to the latest intelligence information, a considerable number of forwards of slave warriors controlled by the Mind Flayer army have arrived in areas dozens of kilometers away.
At most tomorrow's "morning", those manipulated slave warriors will swarm here.
Although a large number of drow troops gathered in this area, they also occupied favorable terrain, leaving only a relatively narrow bottom passage for the slave warriors.
But it is definitely not an easy task for most drow to withstand the attack of slave warriors.
In particular, the first batch of drow who were attacked by slave warriors will inevitably bear the greatest risk.
If they want to have greater confidence in tomorrow's battle, now is their last chance to seize the time and improve their strength.
After watching these containers being moved to the city wall by huge robotic arms, Cuisi faced Famil who was eager to try. She already understood the other person's thoughts and asked very patiently:
"Is our next task to sell these war supplies?"
Nodding expectantly, Farmier noticed Cui Xisi's uneasy expression. After breaking up and patting her shoulder, he handed her a slightly shiny magic watch and said:
"This little thing will help you, and you can also see your next harvest."
At this moment, a wave of light and shadow came from Farmiel's wrist.
Trixis couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Mistress Sera appearing in front of her eyes.
The latter did not talk nonsense, but said with a solemn face: "Business is coming, please pay attention to safety."
Famir looked at the warning from the city wall, rubbed his hands expectantly, and said to the still confused Cui Xisi:
"Whether we eat meat or drink soup in the second half of this year depends on your performance today."
"For every sale, we can earn at least 100 gold coins!"
"The more you sell, the more we get..."
Cui Xisi was confused and didn't understand, and was pulled to the city wall by Famir, and saw a large number of drow elves gathering in the distance.
She had only one thought in her mind:
"It's completely over, and even Suramar has been offended this time."
The drow elves who came here are basically well-informed.
They naturally know about Sera's transactions in Suramar, and also know about the drow elves who were killed.
Now they see a large number of high-level constructs such as the Iron Demon.
Originally, there may be some small thoughts that are not worth telling to outsiders, but they have long disappeared without a trace.
Looking through the various information revealed on the magic watch, the determination in Cui Xisi's eyes became stronger.
"Even if I'm confused, I can only be dragged into the water..."
In the following transactions, Cui Xisi showed a strong trading ability. Through short and sharp conversations, she facilitated one transaction after another with the drow elves.
Famier watched the magic equipment being traded out one by one, and watched the batches of magic materials being sent away, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.
She seemed to see countless gold coins flying, and hurriedly waved to the "hard laborers" below.
Hundreds of fierce ogres wearing metal armor stood on the city wall, and the sound of transactions below couldn't help but become a little quieter.
As more and more materials were sold, the ogres standing on the city wall became more and more fierce.
Finally, Famier had seen a large number of slave warriors looming in the distance, and very simply asked hundreds of steel golems to stand out.
What might have been a very big movement soon disappeared without a trace, as if nothing had happened.
At the beginning, only a few drow elves came to buy weapons and equipment.
But as time went by, more and more drow troops came.
From the initial fear and trepidation to the subsequent calmness and numbness, Tracis carried out the transaction as if nothing had happened.
She could also keep a straight face and ignore the dark faces of the drow commanders who led the troops.
She only had one thought in her mind now:
"The greater the value I create, the less likely I will be abandoned."
"Either succeed or die."
"What are you afraid of?"
The scouts of Suramar City, who were watching from afar, looked at the lively scene in the distance with a sneer on their faces:
"She dared to rob things so arrogantly. Is this mistress tired of living?"
"Who knows? Profits make people crazy!"
"Maybe she has her own back-up plan."
"Haha, the families in the city don't think so."
"Tomorrow there will be a good show to watch..."
"Let them help collect it. When the time comes, we will take it all together, and we can get more."
"..."
The newly renamed Azshara City and Sera, who had just become the mistress on the first day, set off a big wave in the underground world.
Many pairs of greedy eyes have gathered here.
Some are already discussing how to distribute the benefits tomorrow.
Facing this invisible but real pressure, Sera behaved very calmly.
The reason was simple. She was taking Matthew and Yaya to watch the slaves that had just been exchanged today.
Retracting his gaze from a special dragonborn gnoll, Matthew looked at the information reported by Famir, and said to Sera who was quite expectant:
"Just fight with confidence today, don't feel any pressure."
"Suramar doesn't have the courage to do it, and Morblaiso City won't do it either."
With the words of the lord, Sera naturally put down all the burdens, rubbed her hands expectantly and said:
"It's been a long time since I fought against the Mind Flayer army, and tomorrow is just the right time to have fun."
Yaya happily counted on her fingers, clenched her fists, and cheered Sera:
"Don't worry, just do your best."
"No one can cut off our wealth, no one can!"
It is obvious that Yaya has regarded the drow elves around her as big gold nuggets with a lot of money.
Hearing this, Sera couldn't help but smile and said firmly:
"No one can stop them from giving us money!"
Ya Ya, with golden light in his eyes, said domineeringly:
"Yes, whoever doesn't obey will be beaten!"
Ya Ya and Sera, who reached an agreement, smiled at each other.
The slaves locked in the cage felt the terrifying momentum of Ya Ya, and their eyes showed unspeakable fear, trembling in the corner.
The next day, early in the morning.
A loud and sharp whistle sounded from the darkness.
The dense drow elves gathered quickly.
Under their nervous gaze, a large group of terrible slave warriors rushed out from the darkness in the distance.
They roared wildly and rushed out in a mighty manner.
There was no spirit in their eyes, only endless numbness and emptiness.
Behind their heads, a hideous and terrible gap represented the pain and torture they suffered.
They are the slaves of the Mind Flayer, the manipulated servants, and a group of pathetic beings that have lost their future.
Swallowing her saliva, Tracis turned her head to look at the excited Famiel next to her, and couldn't help asking:
"Can we survive?"
"Of course, the Gulf... Azshara must win!"
