Chapter 644: The Light of Realism in Capitalism
On this day, even Kazan, the plague king, who likes to pretend to be benevolent in front of the vanquished, and His Royal Highness Awen, who is polite to him, called the door under the garrison of the workshop and asked to come in and inspect it, and casually learn about the "progress of the project" of a ghost dragon that he ordered.
This True Ancestor, His Royal Highness Yawen, has a very indifferent view of the position of power in this immortal empire, and has always been a little detached, with a transcendent status, but he is a very good person. She has always been very deferential in front of Kazan, and she does not reject some of the external actions organized by the Black Duke Angmar. The strength and heritage of the blood warriors of the Moon Wright family are naturally not compared to those nouveau riche families who kneel and lick the plague king, and indeed they have also made the most prominent feats among all the blood families for the development of this "immortal empire".
As for His Highness Awen herself, apart from liking to make malicious jokes that are not trivial or serious, she doesn't seem to be a man of action who has the intention of eagerly rebelling against the rule of the Plague King, in fact, if there are no such jokes, the undead lords will find it unnatural. They absolutely did not believe that a Blood Clan True Ancestor would give up all pride and dignity and consider himself a servant of the Plague King, occasionally saying a few cool words, but it seemed more true.
Think about it, the descendants of the ancient Samanir Empire, the last true ancestor of the blood clan, far surpassed the plague king Kazan himself in time, and even the ancient power of the ancient demon gods of the same period as the Age of the Gods and the Enlightenment War, but now he must be under the Bone King as a courtier. Even if he says no, his body is still honest...... Well, I mean you have to be honest and do what you're told. The flower of the icy and jade kaolin, but it must succumb to the plague and revenge, what a blood-inducing thing......
With the twisted evil taste of the lichs, it is not surprising that even these thoughts are made.
All in all, the true ancestor of the Moonlight family, however, enjoys a lofty and transcendent status in the position of Henas, from the patriarchal general. Even the "blood traitors" who kneel and lick Kazan must bow before her, in terms of power structure. Not even Githil and Angmar were in a position to command her. Seriousness is the so-called 10,000 people above and one under the ...... Of course, she herself can't command many people.
But no matter what, for the personnel of the alchemy workshop, His Royal Highness True Ancestor Yawen. It really belongs to the kind of "big man" who can't be offended.
On this day, there was such a conversation in the workshop.
"You have to figure it out, Claudier, we're short on money right now. The expedition of the Black Duke Angmar took away more than seventy of the undead dragons of all Henas, but none of them returned. The horseman who even had iron bumps in his head said that it was requisitioned by the army, and he didn't even give me a copper plate, and he would return it to me when he won the battle, but it turned out like this. So. We can't even hand over next month's share. β
Bonier, the head of production at the Undead Dragon's Alchemy Workshop, said this to Claudier, the other leader of the factory, who was currently serving as an overseer.
"Share? Do we still have this kind of thing in our factory? Claudier expressed great consternation: "Aren't we directly managed by the Mentor in the workshop?" All you need to do is complete the tasks assigned by the mentor. Isn't it? Haven't we already completed the bone dragon that needs to be turned in this year? β
"No, no, no, my dear Dr. Claudier, if we all need only half a year to complete the task, why do we have to be busy until the end of the year?" Boniener said: "Have you forgotten? The garrison of the Workshop, so many Necro Knights. And the two of us have apprentices, so the people involved in this workshop get a lot of money every year. Haven't you noticed? Our colleagues in the council felt that we had a fat shortage. But it's been extreme for us all along! If you just rely on the little money from Master Githil, you can't even buy raw materials, why are you so rich? β
Claudir felt that this was too reasonable, but he still didn't understand what the other party meant: "I know that most of our income is earned by private work. Colleagues and necromantic knights, if they don't have enough merit in exchange for an undead dragon, can pay to order from us, the nobles of the bats...... If you have permission from the Holy See or the Teacher, you can pick up the goods from us, as long as you pay for them. Of course, even if it is a collaborator outside the island, the orcs in the north, the crypt lords under their feet, and of course, those pervasive cultists and abyssal lords who hide as mortals, we can also make alchemy items for them, and the premise is of course to give them enough money. Yes, yes, I understand, Dr. Bonier, that the workshop has been able to provide the Council with a large amount of research funding and fill everyone's pockets is all due to you. β
"I dare not say that, but the credit is due to the Supreme Holy See and the Wise Ring." After completing this insincere chant at great speed, Bonier hurriedly said loudly, "But, Dr. Claudier, most of those undead dragons that the Black Duke brought are in stock for next month, do you understand?" When customers come to the door and can't hand over the things, we will be in big trouble! β
"Trouble? What trouble can there be? If you can't hand it over, you can't hand it over, anyway, the black duke Angmar who is responsible for a qiΔ, and the reckless man with steel in his head is dead. Claudir tilted his skull and looked at his colleagues, the soul fire in his eyes flashed and extinguished, and it seemed that he really revealed a very puzzled element: "In comparison, let's think about where we can start with a batch of keels!" The Holy See of Kazan himself has sent down an oracle asking us to restore our air power to the fullest. β
β¦β¦ I had a discussion of business integrity with a lich who must have been kicked in the head by a donkey, even though I am a lich myself.
"You don't understand what I mean, Dr. Claudier, the customer comes to the door and doesn't see the goods, not only can we not collect the money, but we have to refund the deposit. I checked the books, and now we have enough money left to return the deposits of our previous customers. But in this way, the materials smuggled from Neosfia next month will not be able to pay! β
"This, this, this...... Has it come to this point? I remember, remember we weren't very rich? He really didn't understand that it would be too much for a lich to know how to keep accounts. From this point of view, he is clearly unqualified as an overseer. The so-called supervisor, in fact, as long as he can sort out the financial problems, even if he doesn't understand the production and market, he can also manipulate the overall situation, of course, this kind of modern enterprise management concept in Lu Xi's hometown is too advanced for an old lich with only a skeleton left.
"You really don't understand, Dr. Claudier, we make a lot of money, but we also spend a lot! I don't need to say anything about everyone's dividends, and of course the annual supply can't be stopped, even if it's a gift to our colleagues at the same level, it can't be reduced in the slightest. Whether it is the likes and dislikes of Huanshou himself, or the reputation of his colleagues, it will make the position under our ass unstable. If the Lord really wants to change...... Well, I don't care. But, Dr. Claudier, what do you say? β
Yes, there are often overseers, as long as they are obedient enough to bite people, but it is difficult to find a good alchemy master plus a good "factory director" who is picked by the production business. Even if Claudier's position is rotated for a whole bus, Bonier's position will not change.
"So, then...... What are we going to do? β
"Her Highness Yawen is here now...... You know, that Highness was very wealthy, and the ghost dragon she ordered was paid for in full at once. We just need to coax her and let Her Highness raise her noble hand to slow us down for a while, and as long as she doesn't ask for a refund, we will be able to make up the material fee for the next month, and when the final payment for the business in the Minas Cave arrives, we will be relieved. β
"Really, really?" Claudir carefully recalled his past interactions with Miss True Ancestor, and suddenly came to his mind those big blood-red eyes, and a girlish smile that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, but he couldn't help but shudderβeven though he was a skeleton and had no nerves.
"Isn't that His Highness's temperament said to be very perverse? I don't have any friendship with her! She, will she give us grace? β
"I don't know...... But always give it a try. Dr. Claudier, I know that we have had many unpleasant experiences in the past. But now, for the sake of the future of this workshop, for the sake of our dignity as alchemists, for our cause and honor, please join hands with me! The Lich Bonnaire reached out his zombie hand and grabbed the Lich Claudie's skeletal hand and shook it vigorously, "We should have been the same β will!" β
"Yes, yes, I see, Dr. Bonnier! For our factory and business! "And for the sake of my status as a Claudian teacher!
Such a dialogue full of realist class emotions actually took place between two lichs, if Lu Xi heard it, he would definitely be very emotional. Sure enough, in any world, in any dimension, in any race, even those that have died, as long as they work hard in the workplace, they must wake up from a dream that is as simple as crystal clear, or they are scared to wake up, and they are down-to-earth.
β¦β¦ Once a person works, he loses!
As a result, when the two high-ranking lichs of the Golden 5th Order greeted Miss Yawen and her party with the most courtesy, even Lu Xi himself was taken aback.
"Oh, yes, your condescension is coming to the humble house, but it's really, really, it's really brilliant!" The zombie-like lich actually squeezed a smile out of the necrotic muscles, and the grinning mouth still emitted a cold voice characteristic of the lich. But for some reason, at that moment, everyone felt a feeling like a spring breeze, as if they were those gold-medal salesmen in the luxurious shopping halls on the white street of Neosfia.
"You can meet the same kind here." The wind lowered his voice and said to Lu Xi with a smile.
ββ¦β¦ May the light of almighty capitalism decay the whole world! (To be continued)
ps: In the past two days, my mother-in-law has come over, and there are a little too many things, so I will change it, and it will be relatively late
