"Right now, food from the south is being transported to grain ships. The fleets currently involved belong to 6 owners. The shipping range covers 4 provinces and 3 kingdoms in the empire. The longest route is estimated to pass through 3 potion-producing areas. 2 mining areas, 6 big cities." In the magic mirror, Mr. Lujiao was sharing his information, "If your chamber of commerce has needs, I can contact you with shipping capacity."
"Can these grain ships carry other goods?" In an instant, Lant knew why Mr. Antlers rushed into the secret meeting. Obviously, he has a business network between various places in the south and can use these river transportation routes from the south to the northwest. .
"Of course, the grain ship has the logo of the Imperial Capital, and it is tax-free when passing through the border! It seems that you don't take this kind of shipping route very often," Mr. Lujiao even became more energetic when he heard that Lant was not familiar with shipping. "I am familiar with these fleets. In addition to food, the south also produces magic plants, slaves, and timber. In addition, after they arrive in Yeqi City, they will also purchase some minerals and magic products."
"Oh? It just so happens that I have some sources of goods from the Orc Basin and Frostwolf Forest. We can work together to make a fortune!" It can be said that Lant and Lujiao are getting more and more excited as they chat, and with the help of the payment network of the Commercial Temple, the two of them have never met before. , but with high-level priests as credit guarantees, large transactions can be concluded in the magic mirror.
In just a few minutes, Lant reached an agreement with Mr. Antlers across from him to trade magic pattern products for about 2,000 gold coins, exchanging the Hindukel crystal mine for the mithril mine in the Eastern Mountains.
Lant and Mr. Antlers left their respective contact information, and the two communicated for more than 20 minutes. Mr. Turtle called on the magic mirror several times before Lant could talk to him.
"The information about the Benma Family is this. Representatives of the Benma Family from the Southeast Kingdom, the Southern Kingdom and several eastern city-states hope to send a delegation composed of magisters and mid-level mages to first go to the Imperial Capital and then to the Night City. Qicheng.
They find it unacceptable that the Fund Committee has suspended the distribution of galloping subsidies, and hope to find a solution. "The turtle's logo paused in the magic mirror, and then lit up again, "And these mages are not employees of the foundation, nor members of the Southern Fiat family, but members who are married to the local nobles. "
After hearing the turtle's message, Lant could only say: "Okay, thank you,"
Dealing with the relationship between the Benma family has always been the most troublesome thing for Lant. Judging from the current factions, the entire Benma family can be divided into three major factions. One faction is Lant and Huck. Although there are few people, But in control of Yeqi City, Queen Tania's Magic Network is behind her;
The second faction is the Fiat faction. This faction has the largest number of people and occupies the secretariat and executive committee of the Galloping Horse Fund. Behind them are the sea god Leviathan and a group of sea monsters and mermaids;
The third faction is the Hindukel faction led by Rousseff Vichydno. Everyone in this group can trace their bloodline back to the royal family before the country was destroyed, and they have a de facto cooperative relationship with the orcs.
In addition to the above three major factions, the Benma family has hundreds of families in the entire human empire. They are large in number but limited in level. They rely on the large support policies provided by the empire after the war and continue to intermarry with local nobles. marriage.
Rather than saying that these small families need subsidies from the Galloping Horse Fund, it is better to say that nobles from all over the country are dividing the subsidies from the fund in the name of Galloping Horse.
Although these families alone are not powerful, and perhaps a magister or archmage is the leader of the family, when these families unite, it becomes very troublesome. The ancestors of these families also fight against the orcs or fallen demons. After all the blood was done, Rand was no longer in control of the fund's disbursement. Rand could neither blame them morally nor satisfy these families' desire for subsidies, but also prevent them from being completely pushed into the Fiat faction.
To get rid of them, I'm afraid the only way is to open up the resources of Yeqi City, which is the area of Benma Clan a few kilometers north of Padmila Mountain. However, this area can not really accommodate as many families as Lant thought, because the lifespans of elves and dragons are too long. Even if Lant's newly created kingdom can have a thousand-year national destiny, Guleiya will definitely be able to see it. This kingdom perishes.
Once they move into the clan's living area, these families must marry into various elven clans and dragonborn families to quickly carve up regional resources. According to Little Cardinal's estimation, only a wave of people from Fiat, Rousseff Vichydno and other families can move into the clan area, and they may not be able to live there.
"I'm afraid that with the participation of these people, the war in the Iowa Pass will only become more intense." As the "White Wolf" Rant in the Hindukel Basin, he can only evaluate this matter from a conflict perspective.
"Maybe," the turtle's mark flashed on the magic mirror, but it was not extinguished. "Mr. White Wolf, I know that you have a very close relationship with the magic wolf Totapala. I want to buy some information from you. The magic wolf has been talking to her recently. Is it in the basin? In which city? "
"In Tikal," Lant just spoke to Frostwolf yesterday, so he naturally knew her location.
Now Tuotapala and Sanjibing are divided into two groups, running back and forth in the temples of life in various small cities. As high-level monsters, they attract local believers to the temples in small cities. The two wolves work closely together through the magic mirror to ensure that during the day Only one enters the city, the other travels and rests.
As a result, believers from all over the world believe that Tuotapala can fly in the air and shuttle through cities in the basin. No one will doubt that she can become a high-level magical beast or even a beast god.
Totapara, who had just returned to Tikal yesterday, was still showing off to Lant that he had brought new believers and offerings to the God of Life, but when he heard that he had missed Tenia, he couldn't hold back on the spot. , and said that he wanted to return to Yeqi City immediately, but he was calmed down by Lant after a good coaxing.
"Thank you, how can I pay for this information?" The turtle was obviously very satisfied with such accurate information.
"I want to know how to deal with a Naga mage if I meet one?" Rant is not interested in the affairs of the Southeast Kingdom. Recently, more and more Naga wanderers have appeared in the Dragon Kingdom. These mermaid warriors are relatively easy to deal with. But Lant wanted to nip it in the bud and prepare in advance to deal with the mage.
"Can you meet Naga mages in Tikal?" Mr. Turtle asked. Although he did not get an answer from Lant, he continued, "They are more difficult to deal with than Naga warriors. Water vapor is everywhere, and powerful water mages can Use water elements and steam to fight,
However, the casting time required by a Naga mage on land is much longer than that in water. The best time to fight is to engage in close combat quickly during spell casting, or to use cross-level strength to defeat the opponent before he releases his magic. If you fight them, be sure to avoid water, lakes, or places with very high humidity. "
"Thank you" Rand was very satisfied with this answer.
