"Hey, isn't this Alistar? You also accepted this business?"

Early the next morning, many carts and horses at grain stores began loading goods early in the morning, planning to leave the city as early as possible while there were fewer people in the morning.

"Yes, a group of Nagaris came last night and placed an emergency order for me one hour before I closed the door. I had to prepare all night long and I almost ran out of time to sleep."

"Haha, it turns out you are too, but the reward is really rich, and it's worth not sleeping all night!"

Scenes like this are happening at the Rock of Eternity and the surrounding towns.

Purchasing grain at a price that is 50% higher than the market price is more important than anything else to grain merchants. The famous sentence in Capital, "A businessman will take risks as long as he has 50% profit", was placed in that world.

All are common.

As long as there is enough profit, these grain merchants will not care about Solei and the Felegaya family. Everyone is a local snake. If everyone does not make a profit and causes public outrage, even these elven nobles who have been passed down for thousands of years will

There is no way to quell public anger.

…

Just as many grain merchants in Eternal Rock City were transporting large amounts of goods out of the city, three carriages loaded with flour also joined the mighty procession.

These three carriages were sent by the Sorey family, and their members were all Vann and several elite men who had just participated in the assassination the day before.

[Be sure to find out their origins, especially the identity of the team leader. As long as you can complete this task, the shame caused by yesterday's failure will be replaced by honor! 】

Recalling the words of the mysterious mage before departure, as a retainer of the Sorey family, he suppressed all his emotions and instead put on a calm and kind expression.

He and several of his subordinates are the guards and laborers hired by grain merchants, so they only need to transport goods honestly and do not need to have too much contact with other people. This low-key identity is very important for them as spies.

In other words, it couldn't be more perfect.

In this way, dozens of carriages and people traveling together left the city that represented civilization and safety.

…………

The journey of just over three kilometers took only a few dozen minutes for a carriage. The freshness of the morning had not completely dissipated before the grain merchants from Eternal Rock transported the things outside the military camp.

Looking at the strong military camp established in a short period of time, and the soldiers wearing full armor and strictly checking at the door, Vann had to admit that he had made a mistake yesterday and had lost the opportunity to assassinate Carter. He wanted to sneak into such a strict military camp.

Sneaking in, carrying out assassinations and then escaping unscathed, unless the god of gambling Ranold is possessed, otherwise it is just a daydream.

The sentry at the door carefully checked the sign held by the merchant to see that it was indeed the place where the members of the regiment who went out yesterday were distributed, and then nodded and began to search and inspect the goods.

Due to the special situation of the elves, both the caravan and the first corps have a large number of female members. Therefore, when searching the caravan members, male or female soldiers are also sent to conduct body searches based on the gender of the caravan members, so as to avoid some unpleasant incidents.

There should be a contradiction.

The few people who were spies also stood there honestly and allowed themselves to be inspected by the sentries.

"No problem, just go in, there will be someone inside to help you!"

When passing by the sentry at the door, Vann, who was quite knowledgeable and had seen a lot of markets, subconsciously glanced at the sentry, and he discovered that the armor on these Nagareth soldiers was actually engraved with runes!

[This is an army that can equip enchanted equipment on a large scale!] With this matter firmly in mind, Vann continued to follow the caravan.

……………………

"The emergency orders placed with those grain merchants yesterday have been arriving one after another. However, these are small and can only last the corps for ten days. However, the current problem has finally been solved and a certain amount of time has been bought."

Food is the most important thing for the people, and this is especially true for the soldiers in the army. When he heard that the food he bought with a lot of money was only enough for ten days, Carter couldn't help but lament that money can't be spent.

"I finally understand the difficulty and power of Commander Aris. He can actually build so many troops and ensure logistics. How much does it cost?"

Recalling the treasure trove in the Everqueen's mobile palace, Carter couldn't help but feel a little envious. Any elf family that has been passed down for thousands of years has much more wealth than him. The more than 100,000 Sovereigns he earned from real estate speculation by taking advantage of the panic of the nobles,

It's really not that much compared to the real nobles.

"I really don't know how much wealth those big banks have in their hands, and how much money they have no time to transfer away. If we explore the ruins of those banks in the outer ring, can we become rich overnight?"

Aragon, who was reporting from the side, immediately laughed after hearing this: "If those bankers really lost all that wealth, I'm afraid their banks would have gone bankrupt long ago due to panic and runs by the people. According to what those bankers themselves said, they would

Install expensive teleportation magic on each branch bank, and when necessary, directly teleport the entire treasure box containing financial and account books to other branches they consider safe. As long as the managers of those branches act quickly enough, everyone can deposit

The money in the bank should be fine, and you can still withdraw money from the bank in the inner ring with the deposit slip."

"So advanced?" Carter, who heard about it for the first time, was immediately shocked by this very 'magic' method. His predecessor had never been to a bank because he was still young and had little property, so he had basic knowledge in this area.

It was zero, and this was also the first time Carter heard about the operation of Elf Bank.

"I went shopping in the city yesterday. Although there were many refugees, the overall order was quite stable. I thought it was the Eternal Queen who rescued them in time. I didn't expect that it was because of the credit of those banks. They guaranteed that even if the refugees only need to deposit money with them,

If you have wealth, you can easily withdraw it from the inner ring and continue living. As long as you are not in extreme poverty with no savings, it is not difficult for elves like us from the outer ring to start life again..."

Speaking of this, Carter also realized for the first time that as long as the operation is healthy enough, even financial companies such as banks can still contribute a lot to a society.

To make money. Then financial institutions are still very necessary for a society.

"If this were not the case, who would be confident about depositing money in it?"

…………

While the two were chatting, Fann, who was trying to gather information, reluctantly followed the caravan and left.

The soldiers of the First Corps were very tight-lipped. He did not get any particularly important information, but the existing basic information was enough for him to go back and report.

[The First Legion of Nagareth was established by Prince Aris Anar, the grandson of the ruling prince of the Kingdom of Nagareth. The commander of the corps, Carter, is a direct descendant of the Eagle Legion under Prince Aris. Aisha sacrificed himself

Blessed with a powerful enchanting team of thousands of people...]

,

He obtained this information within a limited period of time from the soldiers of the 1st Corps who spoke strictly.

The reason why those soldiers told Vann this information was simply because they did not realize what kind of information it was. Many times, things and information that are sparse and ordinary to themselves are valuable information to outsiders.

.

More than an hour later, this information was delivered to the desk of the Solei family head, Istvan.

Looking at the important names and identities, Istvan, who had passed the stage of acting on emotion, already understood what he was going to do next.

"Give this information to the old guy Felegaya."

"As you wish, sir. Do you want to send it to other families by the way?"

"Huh?" Istvan raised his head and thought for a moment before nodding: "That's fine, but I'll only tell them the basics. If you want to know anything else, just check it out yourself!"

Seeing that his family leader had made the right choice, the mage smiled and left the room.

Early the next morning, at the Noble Council of Eternal Rock, the two families that had been obstructing the supply of the First Corps suddenly changed their attitudes.

That afternoon, Carter looked puzzled as hundreds of carriages unloaded massive amounts of grain, fruits, vegetables and meat from the Rock of Eternity into the warehouse of the military camp.
