Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

However, Gerry also knew Cook's orders, so he didn't focus on Cook, but when rewarding Cook's mercenary team, Johnny said that Cook's talent was excellent, but in Gerry's heart, there was nothing remarkable, Gerry knew most of Cook's things, so Gerry didn't show a shocked look, which made Johnny entangled for a long time.

There are several kinds of rewards, the first is the reward of gold coins, and the second is the share of the magic crystal mine, which is generally about 1% of the entire mercenary team, and Gerry also gave a reward for a magic weapon, I have to say that this is a big deal.

You must know that whether it is the share of the magic crystal ore or the gold coin, this is a consumable, yes, that is, it is possible that you will not be able to live this life without it, but magic weapons are different, this thing is an heirloom for ordinary people.

However, there are exceptions, Tyson chose the share of the magic crystal mine, and Tyson said it very clearly, because he felt that he had no hope of promotion, so the share of the magic crystal mine was more stable, and Tyson's son did not have the ideal of becoming a mercenary, and his son wanted to be a businessman.

Latif, Russ, and Giraud all chose magic weapons, Lira also chose a share of the magic crystal ore, Cook of course also chose magic weapons, and as for Jonas was also rewarded with a magic weapon, Jonas was excited, because Jonas got an earth-based magic shield, which was countless times better than the one he used before.

The next thing is the celebration party, and the reason why Gerry made the reward so grand is for others to see, because in this unknown jungle, who knows what kind of treasure is waiting for people to discover, so Gerry erected an example role.

But there are also a lot of troubles, for example, the Monto Empire has objections to Gerry's discovery of the magic crystal mine, because in this way, Gerry has no money to buy the land at all, because a low-level magic crystal mine is worth millions of gold coins, and a high-grade magic crystal mine, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars.

But unfortunately, this objection was resisted by everyone, because there were too many people who bought land in the Monto Empire, and if Gerry was forced to hand over the magic crystal mine, or pay a certain fee, then what if the rest of the people found mineral deposits in their land?

However, the Monto Empire is weak, and these people who buy land are big forces, so they continue to argue, of course, the Monto Empire is also clamoring, and the regular troops of the Montu Empire are pitiful.

After the reception, Cook went to Gerry in private, and in the eyes of outsiders, this was a bargain between Cook and Gerry, after all, the Chamber of Commerce was very resourceful, and Cook was not the only magician who was willing to be attached.

"Lord Baron!" Gerry saluted Cook respectfully.

"Uncle Gerry, don't be so polite. Cook said, waving his hand and taking Gerry's hand.

Gerry hurriedly said: "My lord, subordinates must have the appearance of subordinates, and public and private must be clear." ”

Gerry is actually very grateful to Cook, from a crippled swordsman to dozens of great swordsmen under his control, and there are also sea knights, sky knights, and magicians are not one, two, they are respected by others wherever they go, who gave this qiē, it was all given by Cook, so Gerry has always been grateful to Cook, and he is also very attentive to his work.

After Cook sat down and listened to Gerry's report, the development of the port and the jungle was going relatively smoothly, and it was expected to end before the rainy season, but the consumption was also quite large, and the construction of the port had invested 50 million gold coins, and as time went on, the construction of the project began, then this number would soon multiply several times.

Cook said comfortingly: "Uncle Gerry, don't be afraid to spend money, the project must be done well, after all, the water flow of the Damurray River is too turbulent during the rainy season." ”

"Well, with the help of the dwarves and gnomes, I don't think there is a big problem. Gerry nodded in gratitude.

Cook then asked, "Uncle Gerry, have you figured out the identity of the person who mined privately?"

"My lord, I figured it out, this is their identity, something just happened on our side, the mercenary union, the magicians' union, and the thieves' union sent these people's information, but they asked for a branch to be established in the port. Gerry pulled out a stack of materials from the spatial ring.

"Yes, the port will definitely get busier and busier over time, but you have to plan for it. Cook nodded as he looked at the information.

Gerry also nodded and explained: "My lord, the planning is also done by the dwarves, I think it is quite reasonable, do you want to take a look?"

"No, as long as there is a plan, but this port is a very important material distribution site in the future, so a large number of storage areas must be reserved, and the other is public security, arson, waterproofing, these facilities must keep up, don't usually look at it, as soon as it rains, it will flood Jinshan, if this is the case, I will find trouble with your Uncle Gerry." Cook remembered that there were some cities on the earth, which were usually quite pleasing to the eye, but when it rained, the water would flood the golden mountains, and it became customary to drown people.

"Hmm!" Gerry nodded in memory.

"I want to meet this man. Cook took out a document and hesitated.

Gerry took the information and looked at it, his face was a little strange, but then Gerry went to arrange it, but these people had already been escorted to the port area, so Cook had to go to the port area as well.

But when Cook saw the appearance of the harbor on the magic airship, he was also surprised, the Damurray River here is already very wide, several kilometers wide, and the riverbed is hundreds of meters deep, that is, in the rainy season, the water depth is one hundred meters higher than now, but then Cook realized that the Damurray River originates in the deep mountains of the Natal Mountains of the Arran Empire, passing through the Roland Empire, the Landi Empire, the Masr Empire, the Rochel Empire, the Garcia Empire, the Magic City, the Satya Empire, the Monto Empire, and the Eight Empires, and the cities that flow through are hundreds, and the total mileage has reached tens of thousands of kilometers, and the water flow is also possible。

The foundation of the port has a rudimentary shape, presenting a stepped structure, so that the goods can be loaded and unloaded at any water level, the port is chosen to be in a huge bend, so that the water flow is not very urgent, but it is close to the sea, or affected by the high tide, here the water level gap between the high tide and the low tide alone is ten meters, so the dwarves have to lay a large number of wooden stakes in the middle of the Damurray River, and then draw out the water in the port, and then start to build, and a piece of dozens of tons of boulders is transported from not far away, and then put to a suitable position by the efforts of the dwarves and gnomes, and the workers, but this stone also needs to be excavated first, and there are similar sockets.

Looking at the countless figures shaking on the harbor more than 100 meters high and thousands of meters long, Cook also secretly smacked his tongue, Cook pointed to some people and asked, "Are these people indigenous?"

"Hey, yes. Speaking of the natives, Gerry is very proud, Gerry follows Cook, and also treats those natives from an equal perspective, not like those barbarians to drive out the natives, even if Gerry wants the natives to leave, it is also in the form of material exchange, but the life of the natives is no longer as good as the life of people living in the civilized world, so there are natives who try to work, and then exchange for some exquisite bronze utensils, food, but as long as there is a beginning, then more and more will follow.

Gerry said excitedly: "Don't underestimate these natives, when the wind blows, when the tide rises, the natives know better than us, there are still things to eat, some things are not poisonous when eaten alone, but they are poisonous when eaten together, and some plants are not poisonous if they are used in a different way, anyway, I think it's worth it." ”

"Well, Uncle Gerry, the natives are an opportunity, I think the port might as well hire some natives, and these natives must know more about the jungle than we do, and you know that this jungle is really a treasure trove. "What Cook didn't say is thorough, that is, if you can let the natives find some mineral deposits, or buy ore directly, I don't care, as for these mineral deposits, and where the ore is, then it doesn't matter.

Gerry nodded and said: "But there are several kinds of these natives, some of them simply kill people when they see them, and eat people, and the natives who deal with us are much better, but the war between these natives is very cruel, one tribe attacks another tribe, men, old people, and boys who are more than one meter tall must all be killed." ”

"Well, Uncle Gerry can actually fund obedient tribes, weapons, equipment, and we can take out some appropriately, and these natives will be the outer defense of our port in the future. Another not-so-good idea popped into Cook's head.

Gerry really admires Cook, he just wants the natives to come here to work, after all, it's cheap, but Cook's means are even more so, not only to organize those natives to go to other people's territory to grab things, but also to use these natives as cannon fodder, although it doesn't sound good, but Gerry still admires Cook's idea, this idea is not something ordinary people can think of.

The magic airship landed slowly, there are not only human guards here, but also ogres, trolls, dwarves, and dwarfs, but so many races live together, and there are some troubles, and the customs and habits of each race are different, so Gerry specially demarcated some racial settlements.

The port has been extremely lively, groups of mercenaries, patrols, and carriages, there are some prosperous looks, from time to time you can see groups of mercenaries shouting and carrying a few meters of big fish from the humble streets, Cook knows that this is the mercenary who cleans up the creatures in the Murray River, but Cook does not know that the construction of the port has given birth to a large number of water system fighting warriors, in the past, the water system fighting warriors were extremely weak, and the combat effectiveness was the weakest, but here it is different, the water system is the strongest, not to mention anything else, the water system fighting warriors can dive in the water for a long time, this is a big advantage。

Cook walked into Gerry's residence very low-key, of course Gerry's residence is very spacious, because this is not only Gerry's residence, but also the future city lord's mansion, Cook is wearing a magic cloak, and no one doubts Cook's identity, because Gerry has more than one magician under his hands.

Cook saw the person he was going to see, dressed in a fiery red magician's robe, and when Cook saw this acquaintance, he was slightly distracted: "Magister?"

The acquaintance on the opposite side saw Cook here, his face was very complicated, and he only nodded slightly when he heard Cook's question: "Hmm!"

"Lori, why did you come to be a mercenary?" That's right, the magician on the other side is Lori Hasek, the guide who led Cook into the realm of magic, the little princess of the Clary magic family of the Roland Empire.

Monchi Clary is the guardian of the Roland Empire, Cook can't figure out why this Lori came to be a mercenary, Lori's father is a fire magister, and Lori's grandfather, Monchi Clary is an eighth-level holy mage.

"It's not because of you!" Lori said through gritted teeth.

Cook finally listened to Lori's explanation, it turned out that this mercenary group was the Clary family, and due to the gap between the status of some Cook and Lori at that time, and some misunderstandings, it led to some contradictions between Cook and the Hessek family, and it was precisely because of these contradictions that the mercenary group that Cook first formed was disbanded, of course, at that time, Cook was also afraid that he would involve the Hessek family, of course, the Hesek family did not reach out to pull Cook, but stayed away, but with the continuous rise of Cook, the Hasek family had a hard time.

Even the grandfather of the eighth-level Holy Demon Guide Lori, Monchi Clary, has been suppressed to a certain extent, and there is no shortage of people in the civilized world who tend to be inflammatory, although Cook did not clearly say that he wanted to embarrass him, but others have to be careful, your Clary family has a bad relationship with Baron Cook, don't come to me if you have something in the future, this is something that someone has made clear.

Even the royal family of the Roland Empire is a little worried, because Cook's strength is too great, and Cook's barony and the Roland Empire are just separated by a rope bridge, so it is clear and clear about the development of Cook's territory, so the royal family of the Roland Empire also has to distance itself from the Clary family, to put it simply, Lori's grandfather didn't worry about the test funds at all before, but now the Empire's Ministry of Finance is going to get stuck with you, you have to ask for it, I'm sorry, there is no money, wait, people don't give it to you, you are very respectful when you come, and finally people say that you don't want to take some first, and this point is still given by me under huge pressureOf course, Lori's grandfather can't just take tens of thousands of gold coins at one time.

This is a naked slap in the face, Lori's grandfather is not angry, but to the Ministry of Finance of the Empire, even if it is Lori's grandfather, it can't be like this, can someone who can pinch everyone's money bags get along well? Lori's grandfather is a big family, not a person.

And Lori's grandfather still has a large number of followers, so this expense must not be small, what is a penny is a hero, this is it, originally Lori's family and Lori's grandfather's family still have some business, but even the empire has to keep a distance from you, do you still expect business to prosper? So the family finally decided to form a mercenary group, and the buddies are not mixed up in the Roland Empire.

But they still underestimated Cook's reputation, the mercenary group was formed and still received some bounty tasks, but you took someone else's task and robbed someone else's job, then others will definitely not do it, you are paralyzed, Lao Tzu still wants to wait a few days to take this task, at that time no one took the task, after the date has passed, the person who issued the task will definitely increase the price, Lao Tzu is just idle and making money, but you don't care about it, you don't ask, Lao Tzu is not a loss in vain, no matter what circle, everyone has an unspoken rule in it, you rush in, others will definitely reject you, so someone inquired about the origin of this mercenary group, It's easy to do after figuring out the origin, so the relationship between this mercenary group and Baron Cook is not very good, you can do it.

So the mercenary group's life is not easy, the mercenary union has used the task of the mercenary group under the pretext of carding, and it is not easy to complete the task, but the people turned their faces, you are paralyzed, what are you doing with Baron Cook, isn't this making Lao Tzu hated? In a word, it is to find an excuse to repay the debt, after all, the task is to trade with the employer face-to-face, so the mercenary group finally had to trade at a very low price of the original remuneration, and at this time Lori's family knew Cook's reputation.

"Alas!" Cook sighed after hearing this, he didn't expect that the pride of the sky would fall to this point today, because it was not good to mix, so although the mercenary group was all intermediate professionals, they could only come to mix in remote places.

Library ...... Baron....... Lori's lip was almost bitten, and she wanted to call Cook directly, but she paused after shouting one word, and finally had to shout two words Baron.

Cook interrupted Lori's words and said: "Lori, I didn't mean to, please believe that your family is my guide, and I, Cook, am not ungrateful, don't worry, there will be no similar situation in the future." ”

"Woo, woo!" Lori herself was a little aggrieved, because this qiē decision was not her own, and Lori had some other thoughts about Cook at the beginning, and Lori had been collecting Cook's situation, knowing that this young man in front of him had an incomparably huge strength, and it could be said that three or five Roland Empires were not opponents, and when she heard Cook say this, Lori's grievances suddenly came up.

Cook had a headache, Cook was most afraid of women crying, but Cook still comforted: "Lori, you better concentrate on returning to the academy to study, your talent is excellent, and you happen to have a companion with Mickey." ”

Speaking of Mickey, Cook moved his mind, Lori was still crying, and Cook had to contact Mickey, who was still in the Roland Empire. After going back this time, Mickey's father, Old Pune, was actually received by the Roland Empire, so the time had to be postponed.

Mickey can't come for the time being, after all, the single teleportation array is in the magic city, and the magic teleportation array in Cook's hand is not connected to the magician's union, so Cook had to hand the handkerchief in his hand to Lori: "Don't cry, your eyes won't look good if you cry." ”

"Wow!!" Unexpectedly, Lori hugged Cook and cried loudly, Cook was stunned for a moment, and then relaxed.
