On the Cloud Lake, the only water source near Eagle Rock City, black square objects suddenly emerged one after another along with a series of water bubbles.
"Ah, great, we're finally here!" Zhuo Ya, the leader of the harpy, showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then called on the nearby tribesmen to swoop over the lake together.
The harpies threw down more than a dozen large nets, and each net caught one of them. Four harpies picked up a net and struggled to lift into the air, transporting the big black box to Eagle Rock City.
In the air, Lant held the Magic Web Sword and manipulated the wind element to get closer to the flying teams. However, he saw that the large net under their feet actually contained his own magic pattern container.
"Huh? Our cabinet rushed from the bottom of the ice lake to the lake, and then was caught in a net by a group of harpies and flew away?" The scene in front of him had an impact on Lant no less than when he saw the ice lake just now. degree.
At this moment, Zoya, the leader of the harpies, landed on a piece of newly formed ice and started talking to a girl exposed under the lake.
When Lant flew over the lake, he realized that the person talking to Zoya was actually Osikaya, the high priest of the finless porpoise tribe.
"Priest Osikaya, what a surprise to see you!" Lant smiled when he saw an acquaintance, "Those boxes just now look so familiar!"
"It looks familiar to you. That is the magic pattern container we purchased from Yeqi City." Priest Ousikaya did not hide the origin of the container. "It contains Brejak's sea goods. The Wing Clan here is the most popular." Love these seafood!”
Seeing the finless porpoise man being so frank, Lant felt embarrassed and could only say: "Your usage really opened my eyes? Are you transporting the containers directly in the underground river?"
"Yes, the light and dark water systems of the Benma River are all over the Hindu Kerr. In the past, our clan often received freight orders from various city-states, but they were all transported using space rings. However, rings can only transport dead objects, and space rings can only transport dead objects. The cost itself is too high, but not only can containers transport living creatures, but an intermediate water mage can control several of them..."
Before today, the finless porpoise people in Lant's eyes were just beasts in the river. However, today, the high-ranking priest Osikaya's talk made him realize that this sparsely populated race actually has such business acumen.
As soon as they discovered that Lant's magic pattern container could be used in the water, they made commercial attempts, and within just half a month they had opened commercial channels between the city-states in the Hindukel Basin.
"Lord Lant, your magic pattern container is very useful. If possible, we would like to order 200 units!" Ousikaia finally said with a smile, "I know that the price you sell to other families is 100 gold coins. I want to Use 150 gold coins to purchase it first, what do you think?"
The profit she can make from transporting a container of seafood far exceeds the purchase price of the container, and her race has a monopoly on commercial channels and is not afraid of other ethnic groups grabbing the market. Therefore, for Ousikaya, the more containers the better. , even if you increase the price, you can buy it.
Looking at the smiling face of the high-level finless porpoise priest, a huge container ship suddenly appeared in Lant's mind. After a moment of silence, he asked with a smile: "How about we change the negotiation? I will give you a discount of 50 One box of gold coins, but I also have some goods here, and I hope you can help me transport them to various cities, and I will pay for the transportation costs."
"Oh?" When Ousikaya heard this, she also laughed. She sank into the water first, then changed her position to float up, allowing her upper body to completely climb onto a piece of ice, and completely stretched out her several-meter-long tail fin. , then continued to ask:
"Sir Lant, since we are talking about business, we must be serious! You want to participate in my business route, so what can you provide us?"
"For example, a city-state?" Lant replied with a smile.
…
At noon on the 19th, Lant hurried back to the Temple of Commerce in Iowa from Fort Mog to attend a secret business meeting in the temple. At this moment, Lant had a rather grand blueprint in mind, which also required a large number of magic workshops in the empire. Work together.
In today's secret meeting, not only Lant's acquaintances Jushu, Antlers, Dragon Claws, etc. were all there, but even Mr. "Turtle" who was not here last time was also online again. However, after Mr. White Wolf came online, only Mr. Antlers posted A simple message expressed greetings, but the "turtle" who was willing to talk alone in the past behaved very strangely.
"It seems that Mr. Turtle this time is not familiar with Jenny's style of doing things." Looking at Mr. Turtle's logo, Lant thought to himself.
After going online, Mr. Antlers was the first to send a separate message: "Mr. White Wolf, last time I asked you to help me introduce Mr. Gatsby..."
Lant knew that Antlers, the agent of the Southern Elk Family, was most concerned about being able to contact Gatsby. However, as the number of goods in the territory increased and trade became more widespread, Lant also had new ideas about business. and arrangements, he was not prepared to associate the territory's commercial interests too closely with a profit-seeking businessman.
"Mr. Lujiao, I did contact Gatsby Lan Yuan, but he cannot participate in commercial trade beyond Dragon Fang City. As far as I know, Yeqi City will announce a new business agent arrangement within a few weeks. You can pay attention."
"Oh, will Ye Qicheng announce it directly? That would be great. If you hear the updated news, be sure to tell me!" For Lujiao, although he failed to catch up with Gatsby, if It is also very cost-effective to be able to contact Yeqicheng's authorized agents directly.
The conversation between the two people did not last long, and Mr. Jushu from the imperial capital started talking in the public frequency band.
"Ah, Mr. White Wolf, I heard that you and Mr. Antlers did some business privately," Mr. Jushu brought up the topic as soon as Lant came online, "Your business didn't affect the southwest border of the empire, right?"
"Mr. Jushu, look at what you said, we are all businessmen, how dare we get involved in that kind of thing," Mr. Antlers said with a smile before Lant could answer, "The things over there involve more than just the local nobles. !”
"Oh, so the Demon Wolf Totapala didn't participate?" Jushu asked with a smile.
Lant knew that many of the people present were active in the Dragon Kingdom. They would not know anything about the matters in White Tree City, and he represented Tuotapala's position, so he simply said: " What I can say is that the demon wolf Tuotapala was indeed in White Tree City last week, but I’m sorry that I can’t provide other information because there were too many of you on that day.”
"Of course, we are not here to talk about sensitive matters. We are all here for business." Mr. Jushu expressed his understanding of Lant's unwillingness to talk in depth, and continued to ask, "In fact, Mr. White Wolf, Before you came, some of us were curious about whether White Tree City was really handed over to the local lords. However, now this question has been answered by Mr. Antlers. If you have nothing else to say today..."
"Mr. Jushu, I actually have something very interesting that I want to share with you," Lant said before Jushu could finish, "The magic workshop in Yeqi City is willing to cooperate with other workshops to jointly mass Produce magic pattern containers and purchase them at a price of 65 gold coins."
"65 gold coins? Are you kidding me?"
"That box can't be made without the cost of 80 gold coins, right?"
Sure enough, upon hearing Mr. White Wolf's quotation, the members present expressed doubts. In their opinion, a cabinet with 4-6 runes and 5 or 6 kinds of magic patterns would not be worth it anyway. Probably less than 80 gold coins.
"Everyone, you all know that the earliest manufacturer of magic pattern containers is the Magic Workshop in Yeqi City. The price of the first-generation containers is only 100 gold coins, but corresponding to the price is the powerful functions of the containers, including maintaining temperature. , reinforcement, ventilation and weight reduction, etc.”
