Chapter 569 You guys wait for me, I’ll go back and get the money
A team of carriages and horses came on the road to the Temple of the Undying. There were undead horses filled with black air, and a lich with a mighty soul armor. They were guarding a carriage. In the carriage, there was a brass dragon and a cute pink girl.
little girl.
No matter how hard Gust thought, he would never have imagined that not long ago, the Supreme Holy Spirit, who was flapping six wings and planting things on the cliff, suddenly transformed into an ordinary caravan behind the dead line.
With the experience of infiltrating last time, everyone can be said to be more calm this time, because last time, they discovered that the Immortal Empire behind the dead line was not as desolate and dead as the outside world said.
There are many towns where intelligent creatures live here, and many creatures that are very rare outside can be seen everywhere.
Along the way, everyone saw half-dragons, trolls, goblins, dwarves, tauren, cavemen, and of course, most of them were humans.
It is no different from the outside. The towns are surrounded by farmland and water conservancy, and there are roads connecting the towns. They are very high-grade and well-maintained roads.
"These roads are comparable to the main roads between the two main cities outside. They are really cost-effective." Anthony said enviously.
Nigris poked his head out of the car window and felt the same way: "Yes, I found that the roads within His Majesty's sphere of influence seem to be well built, such as the Abyss of Rest, and the World Transit Station leading to Han.
The Golden Road in Ice City and Devil's Valley were built more than a thousand years ago and are still flat and solid, but the Abyss of Rest is windy every day."
"It's the same here. The road is straight and wide. Look at the road outside. The road leading to the outside from Beifeng City can only pass a carriage. In some places, you have to miss a carriage. If it's a plain area, the road is messy.
, On rainy days it’s all mud, on sunny days it’s all dirt.”
Speaking of this, Nigris suddenly remembered something: "By the way, you lent the Round Demon King to build roads. How long have you built?"
Anthony quickly looked at Ange and reported: "The road from Stromgarde, Iron Sand City to Drogo City has been repaired. We cannot bear the construction cost of the next road, so Silver Coin has formed a team responsible for repairing it.
The road’s Chamber of Commerce, called the Passepartout Chamber of Commerce, invited the leaders of various cities to visit.”
"We mainly visited the section from Iron Sand Castle to Drogo City. We first let the heavy carriage loaded with iron sand run back and forth, and then let Yuan Gungun roll twice on the spot. Everyone was very interested. After waiting for the silver coins, we reported the cost. Many
People signed their letters of intent on the spot.”
"I have to say that the price quoted for silver coins is indeed very low, almost the cost price. However, he said that he does not make money by building roads. He asked everyone to pay the intention fee first, and whoever paid it first would build the section of the road first, and then use these intentions
Jin went to buy the building materials, carriage and horse shops in the towns on the way, and then spread the news to increase the prices of building materials and transportation costs, and earned back the profits from this alone."
"That's not all, he also induced his competitor, a chamber of commerce called Heiyang, to mislead the other party into thinking that he lacked soul crystals and might not be able to drive Yuan Gungun, so that the other party would not hesitate to borrow money to purchase all the soul crystals on the market, and forcefully
The price of soul crystals has increased several times."
"Then he pretended to be poor while selling soul crystals. After his opponent ran out of working capital, he summoned people from the rival trading company and creditors who had lent money to the Black Soil Chamber of Commerce to show off all the soul crystals he owned.
Knock down the price of the soul crystal on the spot."
"The Black Soil Chamber of Commerce is insolvent. The soul crystals it bought at a high price can no longer be sold at the original price. The creditors were so frightened that they peeed blood and rushed to collect debts, but the Black Soil Chamber of Commerce has no money to repay the debts."
"In the end, the silver coins represented the purchase of their debts at a 50% discount. Those creditors were happy and transferred their debts one after another. If the Black Soil Chamber of Commerce cannot come up with the money to repay the debts, then the Chamber of Commerce will have to go bankrupt and liquidate its debts, haha..."
"With just one intention gold, you can make money from your rival's century-old chamber of commerce. These profiteers have too many ways to make money." Anthony shook his head and sighed.
Even Anthony sighed like this, and Nigris was even more stunned. He actually knew business knowledge, but he didn't know that he could play like this: "Zobada, profiteer."
At this moment, Ange, who was walking in front, suddenly took out his hand, pointed at a house at the intersection in front of him and asked: "Heitang, is this it?"
Everyone was stunned and looked up, only to see a simple two-story stone house at the corner of the three-way intersection on the road, with a dilapidated sign hanging on it - Heitang Chamber of Commerce Mobile Station.
Negris stared at the sign for a long time, then suddenly said: "Heirang, does it mean Xirang? This is the chamber of commerce of the empire?"
"Well, it's very possible. Let's go over and take a look." Anthony said.
Arriving in front of the stone house, a human death mage happened to walk out of it and was about to close the door when he saw Ange and his party.
The Death Mage said apologetically: "Oh, I'm sorry, travelers from far away, the inn is going to be closed and we can't provide hospitality. If you need drinking water, the well is there and you can use it as you please."
On this occasion, the one who came forward was undoubtedly Anthony. He raised his hat and said politely: "Oh, that's really unfortunate. Dear Master, when will the inn be reopened?"
The Death Mage said with embarrassment: "I disappoint you. The inn will no longer be opened. Our Chamber of Commerce has gone bankrupt and is unable to maintain the inn. You should be more careful when traveling on this trade route in the future."
"Ah? This is really a sad thing. Being unemployed in middle age is terrible. I hope you can find a better job as soon as possible." Anthony said with regret.
Unexpectedly, the Death Mage shook his head: "Don't be sad, travelers from afar, it's just that the Chamber of Commerce went bankrupt. I'm not unemployed. The Chamber of Commerce was acquired by a Chamber of Commerce called Passepartout, and we were given a salary increase. Haha, this is a
It's a lucky thing that I can finally leave this desolate place. Bless me and wish you a safe journey."
"Uh... Then I wish you a salary increase every year." Anthony smiled awkwardly, and then asked: "A salary increase is due to an acquisition? Is this Passepartout Chamber of Commerce so good? I have heard about people being acquired before, and I am afraid of those
If old employees are dissatisfied, they will often be dismissed and new ones hired."
"Hey, what are you dissatisfied with? The Chamber of Commerce does not belong to us. Whoever acquires it has nothing to do with us. The reason for dissatisfaction must be the decrease in treatment. If the salary is increased, who would be dissatisfied?"
"But I heard from people that the Silver Chamber of Commerce has issued an internal announcement that employees cannot be laid off, and all employees will be kept with a salary increase. They will report back to work, and then rearrange their positions. They said that skilled people are wealth and so on. It sounds like what a good boss would say.
." The Necromancer said happily.
"Oh, that is indeed a good boss. You are so lucky. I wish you success in your work. I won't disturb you anymore. Go back." Anthony raised his hat and saluted.
But seeing those signs, Anthony couldn't help but ask again: "I'd like to ask one more question, why is it called a mobile station?"
"Ah? Hahaha, many people have asked this question. It was not convenient to show it before, but I just have to leave today, so I will show it to you. Please step back a little." Death Mage said.
After everyone retreated a distance, the Death Mage clapped his hands, stamped his feet, and recited a spell quickly.
I saw that the double-story stone house started to rumble, transformed into a rock giant, and climbed up on its own.
The Death Mage put his fingers into his mouth, blew hard, and actually blew out a roar of his soul.
A skull and horse head suddenly popped out of the ground, shook off the dirt on its body, and quickly got up.
The Death Mage mounted the bone horse, greeted the rock giant, waved goodbye to everyone, and walked slowly into the distance. A desolate but melodious song spread throughout the wilderness——
Travelers from afar, don’t be anxious. The stops along the way are just strange inns. The end of the journey is your warm hometown——
Travelers in distant places, there is no need to be sad. Companions on the road are fellow travelers after all. Only a warm hometown has a companion soul——
It's just that the Death Mage who walked away didn't notice at all that the sign he hung on the stone house disappeared at some point.
Holding the sign, Ange recalled the death mage's incantation, and then chanted it. Amidst the rumble, the stones on the roadside rolled around, forming a giant rock giant.
Nigris covered his face angrily: "It's too big, too big. Do you want to attack the city? Think about it again, how tall are their rock giants? What mage can summon such a giant rock giant? The Mage of Truth
?"
"Oh." Ange had no choice but to remove most of the magic power and keep the rock giant at a height of six meters.
Feti shook his head and said: "No, those rocks have been modified. Some special method should be used to soak them with the breath of death. So in essence, they are not rock giants, but more like undead giants and belong to undead magic."
"Oh, let me just say it's a bit weird. That mage's level is not very high. How could he summon such a big rock giant?" Nigris suddenly realized.
But Ange was too lazy to do it anymore. He hung the sign on the rock giant and drove it forward.
In this way, disguised as a mobile station, Ange and his party walked smoother than the last time, and soon arrived at the location of the Temple of the Immortal. From a distance, everyone saw a strong holy fire in the ruins of the temple.
Medium burning.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion: "What's going on? Isn't the temple deserted? Why is the holy fire lit? What should I do? Take a detour?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a little boy emerged from the grass on the roadside. When he saw Ange and his party from a distance, his eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly: "Inn, inn, my God, great, finally there is an inn."
Now, I want to buy candies and snacks, and my mother wants to buy needlework. You wait for me, I will go back and get the money."
After the little boy shouted, Sayazi ran towards the temple.
Nigris and others were all stunned. Something seemed wrong about this scene. What happened?
