Chapter 911: Co-optation!
But before Lu Kuan specially asked the people of Heaven Eternal Darkness to check, the trade volume between Rapids Port and the Sulphur Basin has always been zero.
"At the end of the day, it's a matter of money,"
The sheep-headed man sighed when he heard this, and there was a lot of resentment in his tone: "According to the rules of Rapids, the upper limit of the tax rate on herbs, animal furs, and bones is 15%, but they insist on collecting 50% of the tax on our goods from the Sulphur Basin. ”
"I see."
Lu Kuan is now famous, no wonder when Mongo contacted the sulfur basin before, the other party has always looked uninterested, until Lu Kuan made a decision, increased the purchase price by one percent, and was responsible for paying all the taxes and fees in the transportation of goods, the other party finally approved the transaction.
The lord who came to the Sulphur Basin was a short-tempered man, and his own things were not sold at all, so why bother to come to Rapids Harbor to find gas?
The cargo on the ship was mainly used to prepare food for the snake lizards with their increasingly large bodies, and the remaining small part of animal skins and animal bones were named by several great craftsmen in the city, all of which were materials with high natural poison resistance, and they planned to try to design a suitable set of armor for the snake lizards.
It's not necessarily all bad~
Thinking of this, Lu Kuan was a little happy, and said in his heart that after such a time, at least in the future, Rapids Port will not have a chance to do business with the other party.
"Actually, there may not be no chance to cooperate in the future." Lu Kuan said with a smile.
"Oh?"
The sheep-headed man showed a curious expression: "Your Excellency refers to the Shady Harbor in the north?" As far as I know, the navigation conditions and the port environment are quite unfriendly......"
Lu Kuan shook his head.
"That's ...... Through the teleportation array? But in that case, the cost will be too expensive......" The sheep-headed man frowned slightly, puzzled.
Lu Kuan raised his head and laughed when he heard this: "I'll talk about this later, but this time you go back, please send sincere greetings to the lord on my behalf, it won't be long before our business doesn't have to look at the face of Rapids Harbor, and then the goods in the sulfur basin Rune City will be eaten in large quantities, if the big lord can give priority to ensuring our supply." ”
"That's easy to say."
The young sheep-headed man did not hesitate, and his tone was quite determined, because the profits of ocean trade were much higher than usual, and it would be great if he could reach a stable agreement with Runeterra.
Half an hour later.
Lu Kuan sent the sheep-headed man away, and then without stopping for a moment, he came to the Druid Temple to the east of the outpost, next to the Elven Tree.
Several figures who were praying to the Elven Tree stood up one after another, and the half-man druid led by him walked over and gave Lu Kuan a big hug, judging from his body alone, it looked like an adult hugging a child of seven or eight years old.
"What I saw and heard in Runeterone City and the Three Forks this time opened my eyes,"
The centaur's voice was deep and deep, and the sparse beard on his chin gradually stretched out with a bright smile: "In the future, more druids from the top of the mad demons will come here to ask the goddess of the forest to answer their questions, and I hope that when the time comes, the door of convenience of the high lord will still be open." ”
Lu Kuan said directly: "Of course, the goddess of the forest sent down an oracle to guide all believers in the Continent of the Gods, and any devout believer wants to come at any time, I welcome it." ”
"Thank you, we won't talk too much."
The centaur druid nodded in acknowledgement, then said goodbye to the druid with the leopard priest, and left with his men to rush to the teleportation array in Runeterra.
There are several other city lords who left with the centaurs, and as long as they confirm that there is really a holy relic of Alona here, it is enough, and they can come whenever they want in the future.
Lu Kuan watched these bigwigs leave, with a smile on his face, and Medu next to him immediately came over: "My lord, those devout people have already been arranged, and they have temporarily formed two squadrons of four hundred people, you see, let them start training today?" ”
"Get started today!"
Lu Kuan said decisively: "Collective combat is different from fighting alone, and at the same time of training, senior officers should also be sent to teach them combat experience, and now they will be allowed to form an army only temporarily, and they will definitely be dispersed to our regular army as an auxiliary force in the future......
"I've already explained these things to Rona and Baker, and you can take care of the logistics." Lu Kuan added.
Maedu immediately bowed down and agreed, Lu Kuan turned his head to look at the old goblin, remembered something, and said with a smile: "I heard that you have been staying in the royal city these days, and many people who claim to be from your clan have come to the door?" ”
Lu Kuan didn't say anything, but as soon as he talked about it, Maedu immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lu Kuan: "Subordinates should die!" I wanted to report this to the Great Lord when I came back, but I was afraid of delaying your business......"
"Okay, okay, I didn't say anything, I made it like a tyrant,"
Lu Kuan glanced at the old goblin: "Let's go, go back to the house and say." ”
"Yes Yes ......"
Medhu hurriedly said, got up and walked into the temple after Lu Kuan.
……
At the same time, in the Grand Canyon, a group of high-level Alona believers with special identities were rushing to Rune City in a spacious carriage specially prepared by Rune City.
Several of the larger druids, including the centaurs, were in the form of cheetahs or eagles in the carriages, and they were all princes, not strangers, chatting with each other.
"Old fellow, why do you seem to have something on your mind?"
"Aren't you?"
"Hehe, the goddess of the forest has personally confirmed the center of faith, and anyone who hears this will be surprised."
"No, no, I'm not referring to this, I'm talking about the combat power of Rune City, to put it mildly, which soldier here can have this kind of strength?"
Everyone was silent, and the nobleman from Rapidwater Harbor had a slightly gloomy face, and then said with a smile: "The strength is indeed strong, but after all, it has just been built a city, and this little person is not even one-tenth of our Rapidwater Harbor troops." ”
"Not now, doesn't mean there won't be in the future,"
The half-man druid, who had transformed into a black vulture, listened and said with a smile: "With the surrounding terrain, is it possible for Rune City to be attacked on a large scale?" ”
Everyone nodded involuntarily, this is to the point.
To the north of Rune City is a loose night crater, to the south is the Golden King City, which has just concluded a trade agreement with Rune City, to the east is the boundless creeping jungle, and to the west is hundreds of miles of uninhabited mountains.
In this respect, the previous threat of the Celestial Church was a joke.
"But if Rune City doesn't have to face these threats, then why are they training so strongly?" The nobles of Rapids Harbor suddenly burst into words.
Everyone was slightly stunned, and there was a slight shock in their eyes.
