Chapter 1326 The most important thing in Brazil is materials.
Joshua's eyes widened slightly... Even though he knew that the other party had finished thanking him and no longer planned to pay attention to him as a little person, he still said with a smile: "Dear Mr. Belveland, you
If you choose to become an earth traveler, you definitely want to experience the fireworks and human feelings and see the lifestyle of ordinary people!
Our city of Brasilia is very good in this regard!
The Port of Brasilia is the port with the lowest tax revenue in the entire kingdom... Even in the entire West Sea region, this tax rate is considered low.
If a powerful alchemist like you wants to exchange materials with the outside world, there is no need to collect the city lord tax at all.
As long as you pay a fixed national tax... Our Danboro Kingdom has always treated large transactions equally, regardless of price or quantity, only charging 15%, with a cap of 1,000 gold coins!
Then, the noble lord will charge an additional ten percent.
But our lords only charge 5% even for ordinary supplies.
If it is an alchemy item, it will be completely free of charge for the seller! The acquirer only needs to pay his half of the tax, and does not need to pay the full amount!
Therefore, the magic item trading fair in Brasilia City has always been popular.
You see, in order to celebrate the promotion of our eldest lady, even the tax on the acquiring party has been exempted for the past half month.
Otherwise, our city of Brasilia, which is located in a remote area, would not be so lively!
Not only did most of the domestic mages and businessmen come, but also many from other countries came!
You, too, came to Basia City after seeing the movements of some mages, right?
Then... do you want to go to those trade fairs?"
After listening for a while, Hill realized that the guard captain was asking if he was willing to accept invitations from auction houses or chambers of commerce.
It seems that the mages in the low-demon world are quite capable of causing great damage... Also, just because the country and the military can deal with them does not mean that ordinary people can also face them easily.
Of course, Hill did not ignore it. The guard captain only asked tentative questions after seeing his carriage turned into a cabin. But no matter what he wanted to get from Hill, although Joshua was cautious in what he said, he still said everything.
Make it clear.
At least, I didn't play those little tricks... For example, no matter what the other party's attitude is, send the invitation first to see if the other party buys it, or choose whose fault it is to determine what attitude you should adopt in the future.
Anyway, when facing a strong person, no matter what their thoughts are, they will not show it... Of course, if the tiger falls into the swamp, it is no wonder that they take advantage of it. Who made you look down on them before?
However, there are indeed some chosen ones who can become strong men that these so-called big forces have to keep in awe. They can reach great heights by relying on their talents, but most of them have to struggle on their own.
from.
Even Hill has experienced a lot until today. It's not that he doesn't understand the ways of the world... he's just too lazy to do it.
So, who can’t see it?
With that kind of secret intrigue, if he is really a hidden mage, then he would naturally choose to stay away from him and not interact with anyone at all... No one would like him!
Or, if they are here to cause trouble, then it is not impossible to directly find some forces that are hostile to each other and play a game of intrigue.
Therefore, Joshua's frankness made Hill have a good impression of Count Steer, whom the captain had always talked about.
Hill nodded gently: "I really want to take a look, but I don't know... after all these years, those resources are still the original ones..."
Joshua immediately replied happily: "The trade fair of our city lord's palace is in the Hall of Fortune in the middle of the commercial street.
It starts at ten o'clock in the morning and lasts until ten o'clock in the evening.
The hall on the ground floor is for the stalls of ordinary shops in the city, the second floor is for the shops of major chambers of commerce, and the third to sixth floors are for large chambers of commerce from various countries.
There will be an auction on the seventh floor from 7 to 10 pm every night, hosted by our eldest lady... As long as it is an official mage-level item, it can be sent to the auction.
Mr. Belveland, would you be interested in taking a look?"
Hill pondered and nodded: "Okay."
"Then I will ask the butler of the Earl's Mansion to send invitations and tickets when I get back!" Joshua said quickly, "But several commercial buildings near the Hall of Wealth are also conducting the same activities...well...probably
I will also send you an invitation letter.”
Hill said simply: "Don't there be brochures for the auction items in the auction? Unless there are things that interest me that you don't have in other places, I shouldn't put so much thought into it. I hate trouble."
Joshua's brown eyes brightened instantly: "Of course! Of course! The Stehr family will definitely guarantee your quiet and comfort!"
Seeing that Hill didn't veto his words at all, Joshua was absolutely elated... Although he didn't know why, this high-level warlock showed a good impression of the Stel family, but when the opportunity came, no matter how he came
Of!
It’s true to catch it first!
Those who hesitate are worthy of chewing kelp!
Joshua, who has lived by the sea for a long time and has long learned to follow the fast and accurate lifestyle of sea people, never misses any opportunity.
He immediately said goodbye to Hill respectfully, pulled the horse and walked away step by step... His horse was well trained, and it was able to face Hill's carriage with him, and follow Joshua step by step backward.
.
It wasn't until he left the lawn and returned to the road that Joshua flew onto the horse, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and left as quickly as possible.
"Hir?" Purvi, who had been watching, asked curiously, "Why do I feel that something is wrong?
Is it okay for you to directly choose to side with Count Stehr?
You seem to have a good impression of Earl Stir?"
"Of course not." Hill said softly, "I do find this Joshua a bit pleasing to my eye, but it's not like he just stands there.
It's just...as a high-level mage, because I like the person who greets me, I choose to trade with the other party's power. That is my natural right.
When I do this, there is no problem.
But...if you don't make a choice at the beginning, you have to either not go at all or go at all, otherwise you might be regarded as a threat by some idiot with a gun shot in the head.
But, why should I compromise because of a bunch of boring political animals?"
Hill laughed: "Unfortunately, I promised Oasis not to cause trouble as much as possible. So... I had to try to avoid it from the beginning~
If, after all I have done, there are still people who won't give in, then... Oasis just asked me to try not to cause any big trouble that would destroy the country and the city, right?"
Joshua rushed towards Beishan Castle as fast as he could.
And Count Ster, who had long received the news that he had entered the Long Street of Mages with a particularly luxurious metal carriage, was already waiting for his Sheriff in his study.
Although the carriages of the nobles are also very luxurious, they are basically made of wood. It's not that they can't build them, but the weights of wood and metal are not on the same line!
Although there is a magic circle that can reduce some of the weight, even His Majesty the King will not waste so much weight on the carriage itself!
After all, the defensive power of some wood is not bad, and it is enough to apply a special defensive metal liquid as a coating.
Such an obvious metal alloy carriage... Count Steer fiddled with his delicate pen uneasily. He was a little worried that he wanted to let his daughter with a little alchemy talent walk a path belonging to their own way in Barcia.
The alchemy tower in the royal capital is unsatisfied.
After all, Brasil City is a very important purchasing location for the Alchemy Tower because it has the smoothest circulation of various materials.
But Count Steer really couldn't bear it. Even though materials were coming in and out of his place, he could always only get the lowest profit!
Those people in the Alchemy Tower actually looked down upon him!
In fact, he originally wanted to send his daughter to the Alchemy Tower to study... But those mages, who were still saying that his Elitelman qualifications were good, were merciless after he made the request.
reject!
Of course, Count Steer also understood that his daughter's qualifications were pretty good, but she was not good enough for the Archmage to fight for... But in his words, he was willing to pay a sum of money!
They obviously made so much profit from their Brasilia city, but they didn't even want to help with such a small thing!
Earl Stehr stared ahead with cold eyes... Ha~ Isn't it because the mage families behind the Alchemy Tower don't want the Stehr family to become a real noble family!
Their family's success today has always relied on the hard work of successive generations of official warriors... His father, the 10th-level warrior who achieved the family's current glory on the battlefield, would have passed away so early, wouldn't he?
Because the injury is too serious!
Even if his life is saved by the priests, the life force consumed is irreversible.
A warrior family like them is not afraid to follow the king's footsteps and participate in the war, but who is not afraid of being wiped out?
But if there are mages or priests to assist them... they will always live longer than the soldiers at the end of the battlefield.
Of course, if that would lead to total annihilation, it would mean that their country was defeated... Then it would be meaningless for anyone to live.
Count Steer has been observing those families with a long history and found that their ability to persist in inheritance has a lot to do with having descendants of mages or priests.
Priest... was not something he could think about.
The gods have been away from the ground for too long, and their power has long been solidified. It is simply not a place where new nobles like them can reach out.
But for mages, especially alchemists who are good at making strange objects, it's not like he can't think about it.
Doesn’t it mean that the learning process requires burning money and materials?
