In the year 725 of the God Emperor, the Tribunal, which once made the imperial nobles talk about it in disgrace, after the God Emperor himself issued an edict of sin, a small number of its members were merged into the Imperial Palace's former division. The former Judge of the Tribunal, Angzang Zhuoqin, was Completely imprisoned.
Since then, the increasingly large Imperial Palace Division is no longer composed of only a group of ambitious civilian class mages. Instead, it is open to the great nobles and has recruited a considerable proportion of the descendants of noble families.
At first, the nobles celebrated, thinking that they had finally subdued this powerful dragon from the highest level of the empire.
However, after hundreds of years, they gradually came to realize that the depressed young people of their own families understood themselves better and hated themselves more than those common people.
After all, the civilian class may be looking for a chance to rise, but the young people of their own family really hope to push themselves down.
Yavini Jinyue looked at Lehman Iguana in front of her and knew that he was just such a young man from a lower-class noble family. This man claimed to be loyal to the empire, the God Emperor, and the Palace Chief, but he Who he is loyal to in his heart, even the gods cannot tell.
Yawenni knew very well that the best attitude towards these local snakes was to have a magic potion in one hand and a magic sword in the other. "You tell me what exactly you want to express. I don't have time to listen to your family's accusations against your lord."
"Yes, Your Highness Princess, I originally thought that the Baishu family would make Baishu City the largest slave transit city in the south. However, a few days ago, I heard that their family took in a magister from the Feilong family, Ochimaru, a few years ago. ·Flying dragon!”
"Ochimaru?...Ochi..." Yawenni thought about this strange name in her mind, "I remember, this person is a descendant of a certain giant snake demigod, right?"
Suddenly her pupils dilated. Although she tried hard to restrain her shock, her face was still stiff for a while. "How do I remember that he was executed by Red Dragon Rock a few years ago for murdering a high-ranking human race?"
"Sir, you really have a good memory. As far as I know, the Viscount of White Tree City took in the magister who was supposed to have died 70 years ago. He did not die, did not become an undead or a zombie, and escaped the execution of the Red Dragon Rock."
The elf nodded invisibly, "When you reach a high level, it's normal to have some tricks. What's more, the descendants of the snake body are even more weird. According to you, it is because of Ochimaru Feilong that the local demons are possessed. Is there an abnormal decrease in the number?”
"Yes, princess!" Leman nodded, "And I also think that the Feilong family is shielding this weird magician. In this city, they have become the third largest slave dealer, but they sell every year The number of slaves is very limited."
Yawenni did not continue to listen and walked out of the city. Although she expressed calmness at this moment, she was extremely excited in her heart. "It has been almost 50 years and there is finally a big case!"
…
September 12th was another Sunday. Today, as soon as Lant got up, he went to the secret room of the Temple of Wealth.
Because they arrived early, the talks in the secret room were still at a relatively casual stage, and the participants who had already arrived were exchanging some time-sensitive information with each other, such as the habits of magic plants and monsters.
"Ah, Mr. White Wolf, you came so early today," seeing Lant online, the antlers logo on the magic mirror kept flashing.
Lant went online so early just to wait for him. He quickly switched to a separate channel and said to Lujiao: "Mr. Lujiao, I have a business to discuss with you. The price is negotiable!"
Lujiao was very interested in Mr. Bailang's proposal, and said with excitement in his tone: "Oh? You don't want to use those grain ships to Yeqi City to transport some goods, do you?"
Lant smiled and said: "Yes, I am going to hire those grain ships to bring some specialties from the south!"
Just at night, Canine Ya communicated with Lant alone. In his opinion, the nearly 50,000 slaves were too many people. It was almost impossible to send all of them to Yeqi City. .
What's even more troublesome is that once the slaves move, food, supplies, and guards all need to follow. In the current territory, unless all barbarian cavalry is sent to escort them along the way, slaves will inevitably escape and die halfway along the way.
"You are not planning to transport slaves, are you?" Mr. Lujiao has been operating in the South for a long time, so he naturally knows what other specialties there are besides food. "Then I'm afraid you have to prepare separate food for these slaves. Every grain of food on the food ship is Belongs to Yeqi City."
"Isn't this a coincidence? The slaves to be transported also belong to Yeqi City." Lant's idea is to have the food ship take the slaves and send them directly to Yeqi City. This can not only ensure the slaves' rations, It also ensures transportation speed.
"If this is the case, it may not be impossible, but I must explain to you that large-scale transportation of slaves is very expensive. In addition, the guards of the slaves will also need to be supported by Yeqi City's army."
The escort work is not to resist enemies who attack the fleet, but to maintain order among the slaves in the fleet. Now that Jim has already trained the auxiliary troops on the spot in the slave camp, Lant only needs to send an appropriate number of demon possessors there.
Although there are still some details that require Rand to send people to negotiate and arrange in the southern territory, the two people have reached a deal worth thousands of gold coins. The gold coins are paid directly by the Merchant Temple to the family behind the antlers. The two people do not even Need to know who the other party is.
After discussing the business, Lujiao was not ready to end the one-on-one conversation. Instead, he asked, "Mr. Bailang, there is a very powerful businessman in Yeqi City named Gatsby. Do you know him?"
"Gatsby? I did meet him several times," Lant was silent for a moment before asking, "You have something to do with him?"
"I have a friend who wants to get to know Mr. Gatsby. It is said that he is the only person who can handle large quantities of magic goods in Yeqi City."
"Oh," Lant didn't say anything more, but waited for Antlers to continue.
"My... um... my friend's caravan is very much hoping to cooperate with him, but I wonder if Mr. White Wolf can help with an introduction?" Mr. Lujiao did not hide his interest in Yeqi City's cheap magic items, expressing his interest in them. I hope to be a downstream distributor of Gatsby.
Obviously, the influence of the business handled by Gatsby has overflowed from Dragon Tooth City and extended to the south of the empire.
Gatsby is not the only one selling the goods in the territory. In the direction of Kirislav, Lant is entrusted to the Frostwolf family. In Dragon Tooth City, Mace Frostwolf and his second brother Obote Galloping Horse also sell goods. All are on sale, and even some complex products are represented by Antreq.
However, in the end, only Gatsby stood out from the many agents and allowed Yeqi City's magical products to be marketed from the Orc Basin to the human interior, which gave Lant a sense of vigilance.
"I'll give it a try, and if possible, I'll give you an answer next time," Lant said without saying anything more, but planned to learn more about Gatsby's business landscape next week before deciding whether to help with introductions.
