Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The high-level forces in the Magic City are now in a tense atmosphere, but there are also those who have the mentality of watching the show, such as the Warrior Union, the Warrior Union is the third largest union in the Magic City, second only to the Magician Union and the Mercenary Union.
The order of ranking of the guilds is as follows: the Wizards' Guild is first, the Mercenary Guild is second, the Warrior Guild is third, the Thieves' Guild is fourth, the Knights' Guild is fifth, the Assassins' Guild is sixth, the Archers Guild is seventh, and as for the Hunters' Guild, there is no ranking at all.
However, the strength of the Assassin Guild is the most secretive, no one knows how many Assassins there are, and the Knight Guild is just a name, because most of the knights are in the hands of the major empires, and the knights are equivalent to the current tanks in the war of the empire, which is a very important troop.
And the foundation of the major empires is also knights, and the lowest level of territory is the knight territory.
And now the mercenary union, the thieves union and the hunter union have formed an alliance, which makes the magician union feel an unprecedented sense of crisis, although the archer association takes the initiative to rely on the magician union, but the magician union does not care about the strength of the archer association at all, but extends an olive branch to the warrior union.
The Warrior Guild actually still wants to follow the Magician Guild in their hearts, but at this critical time, how can the senior management of the Warrior Guild not fight for more benefits, and at this time, the invitations of the Hunter Guild and the Wizard Guild are placed in front of the president of the Warrior Guild at the same time.
After the president of the Fighters' Union laughed, they all refused the invitations of both parties, because the top management of the Fighters' Union decided to see how things developed first.
In the face of the Wizards' Guild's proposal not to allow membership cancellation, the Archers Guild also released the news subsequently, and everyone was expecting the Hunters' Guild's reaction.
But a few days passed, and there was no reaction from the Hunters' Union, but just when everyone thought that the Hunters' Union would admit defeat at this time, a piece of news made everyone take a big laugh, and the Knights' Guild announced that it had formed an alliance with the Hunters' Union.
And then the knight union announced a new round of membership information, just in this month, the membership of the knight union increased by about 5,000, although people outside do not know the strength of the 5,000 knights added by these knight unions.
But the well-informed major forces know that these five thousand knights all have Warcraft mounts, and the source of these knights is Cook's Barony, and there are three hundred knights with high-level Warcraft mounts, what kind of number is this, it can be said that these three hundred high-level knights are enough to sweep any big empire on the continent.
In the battle between the Roland Empire and the Ceylon Empire, only three hundred low-level mammoth knights made the Ceylon Empire lose millions of soldiers, you must know that the mammoth is just a second-level, third-level herbivorous demonic beast, although it seems to be mighty, but if it encounters a second-level or third-level carnivorous demonic beast, it will only give its life, so the knights' union has no choice.
The upper echelons of the Wizards' Guild were also in an uproar, but the Wizards' Guild couldn't come up with more sanctions.
"I see a break from the trade activities of the Thieves, the Hunters, the Mercenaries, and the Knights, and not allow them to use the Magic Teleportation Circle. At a high-level meeting of the Wizards' Guild, one of the directors shouted loudly.
"Pig!" someone said with a sneer.
"What did you say?" the man who had just spoken immediately roared.
"I said that you are a pig, interrupt the trade, think about it with your poor pig brain, the trade of our magician union, of which the mercenaries occupy about 20%, the thieves union occupies about 10%, and the knight union occupies about 5%, that is, our total trade volume will be reduced by 35%, that is, one-third, and the mercenaries of the mercenary union of the magic teleportation array account for about 50%, if it is according to what you said, then you lose tens of billions of gold coins every year, and you will take it out to compensate us?" the man replied sneeringly.
"You ....... "The clamoring for the interruption of trade just now is full of words.
"Alas, our current high-end magic materials, the barony of Cook's domain occupies about 35%, and the Orc Chamber of Commerce occupies about 20%, if the trade is interrupted, then the high-level magic materials will be reduced by about half in the future, and the corresponding finished products will also be reduced by about half. Someone even said out loud.
"Ahem. There are not many materials for talent potions. Leif said with a cough.
"No, we're working the acquisition, why can't we supply it?" someone hurriedly asked, knowing that the talent potion was distributed by the high-level of the Magician Guild in turn, and the distribution plan had been scheduled for a year.
"Barony Cook's realm hasn't traded high-end magic herbs with us for a month. Leif explained.
"Damn, let the union issue a high-priced request task. He cursed loudly.
"It's useless. The director of the regulatory task department shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Why?" everyone immediately looked over.
"Baron Cook's territory is full of wurm taking magic herbs in exchange for livestock, as well as sugar, salt and the like, because wurm is not proficient in picking magic herbs, so Baron Cook let these wurms take good care of these magic herbs not long ago, once mature, Baron Cook sent people to pick, and then provide wurm with goods of corresponding value, now as long as the place where high-end magic herbs are produced, they are guarded by dragons, unless it is a person sent by Baron Cook, otherwise one will be missing, it is said that Wurm and Baron Cook exchanged for livestock, as for these people are said to have been sent to the mine。 The head of the mission department explained.
"Damn!" As soon as all the directors heard this explanation, they didn't shout anything anymore, if they wanted to say that there were two wurms, then the people present were not afraid, but this wurm guarded the place rich in high-end magic herbs, thinking that it was as simple as saying it, and the wurm group must also have a distribution process, and the wurm group is not a storage zài that anyone dares to provoke, maybe it will provoke thousands of wurm monsters, and it will be a question mark whether the magic city can be kept or not.
"And it is said that the orc hotel is going to implement a membership system again. Someone even took a risk.
The high-level of the Wizard Guild looked at each other, you know, half of the rooms in the Orc Hotel have been contracted by the big and small leaders in the Wizard Guild for a long time, according to the internal experiment of the Wizard Guild, if you live in the Orc Hotel for ten years, the minimum life expectancy will be increased by one year, if you live for fifty years in a row, there is no problem with an extra ten years of life, and there are babies born in the Orc Hotel, the body is more robust, and according to analysis, the talent may be better, after all, it is the tree of life, some people say that the reason why elves have such a high talent is because of the relationship between the tree of life。
"What to do, don't we all become members of the Orc Hotel by then, then let others laugh and lose their big teeth. Someone whispered, yes, while boycotting others, he also kept giving money to others, and became a member of other people's management.
Someone started to spoil the water: "Why don't we rob the orc hotel?"
"Okay, since you think so, we will all send you?" someone immediately replied loudly, but when he heard this just now, he immediately stopped talking.
Everyone knows that when the orc hotel was built, there were five thousand dwarves, and more than a thousand dwarves, and the wizards' union was awesome, but it was not so awesome that it could ignore the existence of the two races, and the orc hotel was really so easy to snatch, and I didn't look at Cook's current strength.
The meeting of the high-level magicians finally ended in such a discussion, but this discussion can be expected to continue, but although the magicians' union is said to be powerful, the ultimate control of the magicians' union is in the hands of the council, and the members of the council will continue to find a balance between personal interests and collective interests, so the decision is not something that can be taken out at once.
While the Wizards' Guild was discussing at the top, Cook had a secret conversation with the presidents of the Knights' Guild, the Mercenary Guild, the Thieves' Guild, and the Assassins' Guild.
After Cook dealt with some things about the Hunters' Union, he went to the Monto Empire non-stop, and after more than a month, some small families and small forces had to sell the land in their hands, because the beets had begun to rot, and the small families and small forces did not have so much money to maintain, but in the face of the land sold, the major forces were very crazy to grab it.
When Cook came to the port area, the port was almost built, and the huge watchtower could be seen in the distance, and Cook didn't bother to look at it at all, and went directly to a large stone house on the south side of the port, all of which were built by dwarves and gnomes, and Cook didn't come empty-handed this time.
The white iron parts were taken out piece by piece, and then the drawings were handed out, and the gnomes began to get busy, along with several flame giants, and the whole house was a large factory, which was the factory where Kuke made sugar.
Of course, it is impossible for Cook to say that the production of fully automatic sugar production line, in fact, the production of white sugar is not very troublesome, mainly in several steps: raw materials→ juice extraction→, clarification→ evaporation→ boiling sugar and crystallization→ honey → drying→ screening→ packaging→ storage.
And what Cook produces is just juice pressing machinery, separation machinery, and sieving machinery, and most of the rest are handmade zuò, of course, although Cook knows the process of making zuò, but he still has to explore it, as for the raw materials used in the clarification are not lime water and other things, in this world, magic can be used for many things.
It's like drying, a direct water magician, and it's a low-level can be done quickly, so Cook borrowed some magic, and this time Cook also brought a dozen magic apprentices occasionally, because this kind of production doesn't require much advanced magic.
Of course, the reward provided by Cook is to provide magic crystals for free to magic apprentices to use, as well as spiritual power recovery potions, under such conditions, a large number of magic apprentices who sign up, because such a long-term use of magic power will greatly increase the probability of being promoted to a formal magician, and as long as you become an official magician, your life will be guaranteed.
While directing the installation, Cook asked Uncle Gerry to buy a large number of sugar beets, and for a while, people began to come and go in various towns in the Montaut Empire, and horse-drawn carriages were also constantly coming and going in various towns.
"Cook, there's someone out there looking for you. Gerry entered the sugar refining factory, and now the factory is still being installed, and Cook is watching while directing, after all, the drawings and the actual results, as well as the size of the place, and the environment have a certain impact.
"Who is it?" asked Cook, turning his head, for Cook knew that Uncle Gerry wouldn't bother him with a few little trash fish.
"It's a few big beet growers. Gerry explained in a low voice.
"I see!" Cook said with a raised brow, of course Cook understood, the land of the Monto Empire finally fell into the hands of those people, Gerry made a list for Cook, and there were only so many big families.
