Chapter 863: Investment and New Adventures
Everyone dispersed to go about their own business, and when Lu Kuan teleported back to Rune City, Meng Ge was standing on the edge of the enclave, looking to the east, and saw the wind element pull Lu Kuan up, and the little face that had been tangled finally relaxed.
Hita stood beside Mongo, smiling at Lu Kuan, who had jumped from the sky.
"Great Lord."
"Lord Sita,"
Lu Kuan first gave Meng Ge a reassuring look, and then smiled at the legendary assassin, "This is your first time in Rune City, right?" ”
"The lord is wrong,"
The elven assassin smiled kindly, looked around, and said nostalgically in his tone: "When Rune City had not yet fallen, I used to travel here and talk with the Dwarf King very happily, and nearly a hundred years have passed~ Rune City is also very different. ”
Hita is telling the truth, standing in the enclave and looking down, the current Rune City is full of life, especially the storefronts on Wolf Soul Street, which have been renovated, and the color of the houses on both sides of the street is obviously lighter than the color of the houses in the civilian area.
From here, you can also see the wide moat outside, and the growing Qingshui Village next to the deep lake in the distance......
Lu Kuan also looked around, very proud in his heart: What I see in my eyes now is slowly built up by my hands!
So, if anyone wants to make trouble in Runeterra City...... Hehe~
"Great Lord, looking at your expression, the matter is completely settled?" Hita asked, as if she had just remembered it.
"Hmm." Lu Kuan nodded and explained the matter briefly.
"I see......"
Xita nodded while listening, looked sideways at Lu Kuan, and chuckled: "You did the right thing, since you killed it, kill it all, weaken the opponent's strength as much as possible, and don't have the kindness of a woman." ”
Lu Kuan naturally agreed, the idea of the legendary assassin in front of him coincided with his own, and what he said was very right.
"I'm here to bring a message from the queen to the Great Lord,"
Saying that, Xita turned to Lu Kuan and said with a smile: "The queen hopes that our trade will not be limited to the present, since we have advantages in this regard, we will simply expand the business, with the current scale of commerce, whether it is Kaira Mohan or Rune City, it is just a warm-up~"
"Just what I want,"
Lu Kuan naturally had no opinion on this, but then his tone changed: "But restricting the scale of trade is not my subjective will, it is really a limited scale of the teleportation array, and the number of caravans that can come and go every day is limited......
This is also something that can't be helped, Rune City's teleportation array must be given priority to players for daily use, this is the basis for Rune City to maintain its popularity and vitality, and the remaining faith energy will be used for trade teleportation.
At present, the two largest teleportation arrays in the city are operating at full capacity every day, barely enough to meet the current needs of Rune City, and if you want to increase the scale of trade, you will have to open up new teleportation arrays.
That's a lot of money.
When Lu Kuan officially became the big lord, the system had a plot reward, adding a small teleportation array to Rune City, and the cost was only one-tenth of what it would normally do, and this was how the teleportation array in Antler City came about.
But to build a new teleportation array beyond that, it would cost millions—millions of gold.
A considerable part of this is the tax paid to the system, and the rest is the hardware needed to build the teleportation array: various gems, precious materials, and software: magicians who are proficient in manipulating the teleportation array, etc.
The cost of the last item can be saved in Rune City, but the remaining money is still a huge amount of money, not to mention that every time there is an additional teleportation array in the city, the taxes and fees to be paid will increase, 30% for the first and 70% for the second......
Runeterra is under construction everywhere, including the reinforcement of the enclave that has just begun, and at this time, if you want to build a teleportation array, you will have to use a lot of treasury reserves.
These thoughts flashed quickly in Lu Kuan's mind, and after a pause, Lu Kuan said to Xita: "Lord Xita, why did the city lord suddenly remember to mention this matter, but what has changed?" ”
"There are indeed some,"
Xita seemed to be prepared, and said directly: "Right now, just after the New Year, there are already many tribes and small cities around Kaila Mohan to inquire when it will be their caravan to come to Rune City. ”
Lu Kuan smiled when he heard this, the people who made money were the pioneers who were the first to respond to the call of Lord Kalida, the high risk was naturally high and the reward was high, and the others were one step late, and they were only red-eyed.
In fact, not only Kaila Mohan, but several trading partners of Rune City have similar situations, and there are more and more forces queuing up to come to Rune City to do cross-city trade, including some well-known merchant groups in the previous life.
Not long ago, the weed merchant group of the Silver Dragon Republic also came to meet Lu Kuan and asked about the possibility of expanding the scale of trade between the two sides-Huang Cancan's gold coins came in like a stream, which merchant was not impressed?
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Kuan said: "I will consider this matter carefully, building a teleportation array is not a trivial matter, let me think about it." ”
"Of course." Hita said she was very understanding.
Next, Lu Guang Hita took a brief tour of the city, looked at several famous ancient dwarf buildings, evoked countless memories of Hita, and after more than half an hour, the other party left unsatisfied.
Lu Kuan then took Meng Ge back to the small building on the second floor.
"Mongo, if the task of collecting wind and water elements is suspended now, and the construction of enclaves is slowed down, how many gold coins can be saved every day if you measure and plan first?"
On the second floor of the small building, the little halfling brought Lu Kuan a cup of fragrant hot tea, and when he heard Lu Kuan's question, he frowned and thought about it.
"At least five thousand gold coins,"
Mungo said quickly, and then added, "You want to start building a teleportation array?" ”
Lu Kuan nodded: "Well, this matter should have been put on the agenda a long time ago, but the cost is too great, and there are many places to use money in the city, so we must build a third large teleportation array this spring." ”
"In that case...... We certainly don't have enough liquidity, and we have to use our treasure troves. Mongo shook his head
"Use it, anyway, we have enough inventory, and we should use enough if there is any emergency,"
Lu Kuan thought for a while and said decisively: "In addition, according to what I just said, squeezing out 5,000 gold coins is enough to pay for the daily expenses of the craftsmen." ”
Seeing that Lu Kuan had made a decision, Meng Ge didn't say anything anymore, stood on the table and kissed Lu Kuan's cheek, then jumped on the windowsill, squeezed his eyes at Lu Kuan, and jumped out directly.
"Whew~"
Xiaoqing's huge body fluttered its wings outside the window, carrying the little halfling slowly flew away from the small courtyard, Lu Kuan stood by the window, took a deep breath, and felt much more relaxed.
The Celestial God Cult has survived this matter for the time being, and then ...... Isn't it time to try the challenge?
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the limited-time challenge mission is finally open to advanced difficulty, and there are special rewards at the relic level, which can be obtained 100%, so you don't have to worry about the problem of black faces.
