"Hmm!" Mickey graciously admitted, and then threw herself into Cook's arms, who picked them up.
"That's good!" Cook was very happy in his heart, after all, in terms of cultivation, Cook could only provide external resources, and cultivation itself relied on itself, and no matter how many external resources he didn't work hard, he wouldn't make much progress.
"An intermediate magician who is less than twenty years old!" Cook sighed, because magicians need to be cultivated from an early age, and Mickie was only discovered when she was a teenager, so Mickie's cultivation can be said to be very fast.
"Actually, it's nothing, there are quite a few mid-level magicians in our academy before the age of twenty. Mickey snuggled into Cook's arms and whispered.
Cook stroked Mickey's long hair and said with a smile, "They're different, they've been trained since they were very young. ”
"Cook, I'm here to bring you an invitation. But Mickey then said to Cook.
"Invitations?" Cook wondered, but when Cook saw the pile of invitations, Cook was stunned.
"Magicians' Guild Celebration!"
"Mercenary Guild Annual Meeting!"
"Warrior Guild Lantern Festival!"
Cook took a cursory look, and there were dozens of them, including the Wizards' Union, the Mercenary Union, the Warrior Union, the Archery Craftsman's Association, the Bright Empire, and many chambers of commerce, the Wushuang Academy, and finally his own barony's domain was going to hold a grand ball.
"It's ....... Cook looked at this pile of invitations, his scalp was a little numb, Cook didn't like this kind of social activities, mainly because Cook thought that there was time to participate in this kind of activities, so it was better to practice well.
"Cook, I think some of these invitations are must-go, you have to go to the top forces, and you can send representatives to the slightly inferior ones. Mickey said on the side.
Cook was surprised by Mickey's words, because it meant that Mickey had matured, but Cook still asked, "Why do you have to go?"
"I didn't know much about interpersonal relationships before, but after getting along with my classmates for a long time, I naturally know the role of interpersonal relationships, and celebrations like cocktail parties can reach countless agreements at meetings. Mickey said eloquently.
"Hehe, okay, let's go together!" Cook said to Mickey with a smile.
Mickey said with some embarrassment: "Cook, it's not that I don't want to go, but this year our family is going to meet the Roland Empire once." ”
"Uh!" Cook snorted in disbelief, but then realized that Mickey's family still has relatives in Roland, and now that Mickey is an intermediate magician, it is understandable to go back once.
"Otherwise, I'll ask my parents if they'd like to go back, and I'll send you two magic airships back then. Cook groaned for a moment, thinking that his family also had relatives, and he wanted to ask his parents if they would like to go back.
"Isn't it good to go through the magic teleportation array?" asked Mickey, confused.
"The Roland Empire's one-man teleportation array is too low, and don't you think the two magic airships are more imposing?" Cook said with a smile.
"Pooh!" After hearing Cook's words, Mickey kissed Cook the face, in fact, Mickey also knew that her parents went back to show off most of the ingredients this time, and Cook's rare thoughtfulness made Mickey's heart bloom.
Cook took Mickey's mouth in his mouth, and then kissed it.
"Wow!" But with an exclamation, Cook and Mickey slowly separated, in fact, in the Western world, there is no shame in kissing such a thing.
Cook saw Xiao Lei with his sister, and behind him was the little attendant, Mickey's younger brother Xiao Boai, Cook put down Mickey, and then picked up Xiao Lei and his sister, and said exaggeratedly: "It's so heavy, it's so heavy, two fat pigs!"
"You're a pig!" the two little girls immediately grabbed one of Cook's ears and protested loudly, while little Bouay spun around in a hurry below.
"Hmph!" Needless to say, at this time, only Ramilan is the thunder dragon, Ramilan protests for a reason, until now, Xiaolei has not been so intimate with Ramilone.
Raman was angry on the one hand, angry that his daughter actually ignored him, and couldn't help but be relieved on the other hand, relieved that Cook loved Xiaolei very much, this feeling made Ramil a little overwhelmed, wanted to deal with Cook, and was afraid that his relationship with Xiaolei would decrease, and if he didn't want to deal with it, he was unwilling, anyway, he was very contradictory, so he only snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction.
"Sister Ramilone!" Mickey knew Ramilone's identity, and at that time she was stealing Little Lei and Mickey was in it, Mickey was originally a little afraid of Ramilone, but after Ramil came, she didn't get mad, but got along very well, so the relationship between Rami and Mickey developed rapidly, and now they are sisters who are too good to be good.
After a while, everyone who went out shopping came back, Cook's parents, and Mickey's parents all returned, and the family was lively, and Cook was completely relaxed.
But what Cook didn't expect was that his parents also wanted to go to Roland, and Cook couldn't help sighing: "This person wants to save face!"
In the next few days, while arranging for his parents to return to Roland, Cook visited everywhere, the high-level of the Wizards' Union, the Mercenary Union, and the high-level of the Thieves' Union.
Finally came to the day of departure, three huge magic airships fell in the magic city specially used to park the magic airship, although it is said to be a magic airship, but the space inside is huge, because this magic airship does not rely on the buoyancy of the air to lift into the air, but the use of gravity and anti-gravity magic pattern, so dozens of meters long airship is divided into several layers of space, one magic airship is used to ride, the remaining two are guards, Cook is from the barony to transfer a batch of magic crossbows, Bagru is with the most elite ogre knights to follow, and with portable magic crystal cannons, multi-barreled repeating crossbows and other powerful weapons, even sent three squads of Horned Eagle Knights, and Horned Eagle rode on another magic airship, because the Horned Eagle was relatively lightweight, only a few hundred kilograms.
Ramillan saw that Cook was not going, so he encouraged Xiaolei to go with him, Ramilan still had an idea in his heart, Xiaolei had less Cook who was glued together all day, wouldn't there be many more opportunities for him to be close?
So only Cook stayed in the magic city, no way, there are too many things, there are still a large number of people in the barony waiting for their rewards, and the New Year's sacrifice of the Mackay Empire, which is related to the harvest of the next year, although Cook scoffs at this, but customs are customs, Cook can't change it, Connie went back to the Ceylon Empire to reunite with her father, Connie and Sia often practice, merge, and comprehend the laws of the divine core is not so simple, what is needed is great perseverance and perseverance, so Cook can't bear to bother。
"Lord Baron, President Gerry has come to visit you. A servant entered the door and reported to Cook.
"President Gerry, please, please!" Cook immediately stood up, putting aside what he was doing.
Gerry is the president of the Chamber of Commerce formed by Cook, and is also the father of Cook's right-hand man Murphy, Murphy is also Cook's senior sister, after Gerry walked in, he bent down and greeted Cook respectfully: "Lord Baron!"
"Uncle Gerry, don't be so polite, sit, sit!" Cook hurriedly asked Gerry to sit down, the Chamber of Commerce has now officially changed its name to the Orc Chamber of Commerce, mainly the Orc Hotel has also joined the Chamber of Commerce, because there is no need to keep it secret, and everyone knows that Cook's Orc Chamber of Commerce actually monopolizes the magic material trade on the first floor of the underground world, but now Cook's strength is not to be underestimated, so even if someone has an opinion, those ogres and trolls on the first floor of the underground world will not approve of others.
"Hehe, Lord Baron said with a smile, I am here mainly to let Lord Baron make a general direction for the development of the Chamber of Commerce in the next year. Gerry sat down modestly and said with a smile.
There's no way, Gerry knows the scale of the Orc Hotel, a building that costs hundreds of millions of gold coins, I'm afraid that except for a few major unions and empires, no one has built a building with such a huge cost, and Gerry doesn't want to take over the Orc Hotel, it's really that this Orc Hotel is not something that ordinary people can hold, he is just a silver swordsman, of course, Gerry will not rashly bring it up, there is a process, so Gerry first said let Cook guide the direction of trade for the next year.
Cook thought about it, the underground layer is already the limit, because the situation in the underground world is extremely complicated, and the road is not very good, so the development there cannot improve the speed, stability is the first, as for the underground three layers, there is not only the power of his own family, but several major trade unions are also involved in it, so there is no need for Gerry to mix anymore, as for the Orc Empire, the main trade direction is the Golden Pass of his own territory, one is that it is relatively close to the royal city of the Mekai Empire, and on the other hand, Cook's control ability is very strong, unlike the Scarlet Plains, which is the territory of the Bright Empire。
Cook stood up and looked at the map of the continent, which Cook drew according to the eye of the sky, Cook looked at the south for a while, and then Cook asked, "Uncle Gerry, I think we will turn the next trade direction here!"
"Sea Clan?" asked Gerry in astonishment, looking at the map of the blue area that Cook was referring to.
"Yes, Sea Clan, I have understood, the resources of the Sea Clan are actually more abundant than our land, but the Sea Clan also has things that are not produced, such as sugar, honey and the like are very valuable items in the Sea Clan, as well as metal weapons, and the metal weapons are replaced very quickly. Cook said a rough idea.
Gerry was shocked when he heard Cook's words, because the information about the Sea Clan can be said to be very little, Gerry had heard that someone had dealt with the Sea Clan, but in the end, he was frustrated to find that the Sea Clan was not short of things at all, and most of the weapons used by the Sea Clan were bone weapons, and it was said that the monsters in the Sea Clan were hundreds of meters long, comparable to the tall Monsters of the city wall, and there was no shortage of food, and although the clothes on land were gorgeous, they rotted very quickly under the invasion of the sea.
There is more than one person in the world who wants to trade with the Sea Clan, gold is simply garbage for the Sea Clan, because gold is poisonous, so the place rich in gold is often the most remote place in the Sea Clan, as for pearls, it is even more incredible, Gerry believes that with the information of the Sea Clan's lack of sugar, if you want to trade with the Sea Clan, there is a great possibility of success.
"But, how do we keep it a secret?" Gerry thought of secrecy first.
"Hehe, this secrecy can only be kept for a while, but as long as we are ahead, then it will not be so easy for the people behind to catch up, Uncle Gerry, I have a heavy task that needs your help!" Cook said with a smile.
"Please command, Lord Baron!" Gerry knew that this was Cook about to start secret preparations, and Gerry was thrilled to think about it, making a deal with the mysterious Sea Clan.
Cook pointed and said: "Monto Empire, I need a large sugar beet planting base here, whether it is to buy land for planting by myself, or other methods, I need a sugar beet base with an annual output of 10,000 tons of sugar, which is the minimum requirement." ”
"Ten thousand tons!" Gerry was not intimidated by Cook's words, knowing that ten thousand tons was not a number, and that this sugar was preserved in this world unless magic was used.
"Hehe, Uncle Gerry, please rest assured, I already have a way, and I have already developed the process of making zuò sugar cubes and snow sugar on a large scale, this is the operation method of the process, and Uncle Gerry also needs to build a large processing workshop. "Cook picked up the process of making zuò white sugar in his hand, most of the sugar in this world is yellow, and there are impurities.
Cook handed a piece of paper to Gerry, and Cook also took out the snow-white crystal white sugar that he had processed, Gerry was so excited that he couldn't speak, Cook continued: "In addition, Uncle had better buy a deep-water dock in Monto, the water depth should be at least twenty meters, and I am going to build a large-scale sea ship." ”
"Wait, Lord Baron, ships are dangerous in the sea. Gerry said hurriedly.
"Haha, Uncle Gerry, the ships I built are made of at least three thousand tons of pure white iron, and they are also equipped with powerful weapons. Cook laughed.
"Three thousand, tons, white iron!" Gerry almost fainted, the price of white iron was more precious than gold, a dagger of white iron, at least tens of thousands of gold coins, which could not be bought.
"Hehe, well, this is only the smallest boat, of course, some non-critical parts still need to be made of wood. "Cook has always wanted to build big ships, but unfortunately there was not such a big power source before, even if you build even 10,000 tons, you need a power source, and it is a dream to expect to use sails to propel large ships.
Cook didn't think about using a steam engine, but the wear resistance and strength of some key parts needed for a steam engine can't be reached at all, unless magic metal is used, but the steam engine of the sea ship uses magic metal, how much does it take, but now that there is a magic pattern, he decided to make a sea ship, of course, this is directly related to the dwarves have initially mastered the method of steelmaking, at the beginning Cook just had a vague memory, and he told the dwarves, but he didn't expect that after the dwarves, white iron is steel can be refined on a large scale, of course, this refining has never been built with high strength, especially toughness, but that's enough to save most of the dwarves' time.
The difficulty of building an airplane is somewhat high, unless Cook thoroughly masters the magic pattern, because the power required by the plane is much more powerful than that required by the magic airship, and it is not that there is steel to build an airplane, although it is said that there are wooden airplanes, but in this world where Warcraft is rampant, wooden airplanes, hum, can only be used as toys.
"Uncle Gerry, this time I will give you the greatest permission, you don't need to ask me for instructions on expenses below 300,000 gold coins, you have the right to use it directly. "Cook's control of the Chamber of Commerce is also in his own hands, this is not to say that Cook does not trust Gerry, but the necessary means, just like the barony's domain, Manly is not in power, the intelligence system and the guards are under the command of different people, as long as Manley has any changes, Cook can guarantee that he will know it as soon as possible, and extinguish it, can this be said that Cook does not trust Manly, can't!
"Cook, I'm going to get the job done!" Gerry was excited, 300,000 gold coins, which was a huge amount of money in the middle of nowhere.
The coastal zone of this world is not like the earth, it is very prosperous, it can be said that it is very remote, one is with many tropical germs, and there are many sick people. Second, there are frequent typhoons and torrential rains, which have a great impact on grain production, third, a large number of poisons, and dense forests, and fourth, there is no winter, so there are many pests, which makes the coastal places very remote, and no one wants to go to the coastal zone at all.
Montor and the Magic City are separated by a Satya Empire, the distance is not very far, and Cook chose Monto, mainly because of the production of sugar beets there, the sugar beets here are different from those on the earth, the beets here are similar to sugar cane, but the beets here are a side dish, but they are sweeter than sugar cane, and there is not so much slag, similar to the texture of bamboo shoots.
"In addition, I will send two teams of Horned Eagle Knights to assist you secretly, but I don't want anyone else to know about this before. Cook continued with a deep sigh.
"Cook, enough is enough, I promise to complete the mission!" Gerry was very excited, excited, to be able to see the three-thousand-ton white iron ship with his own eyes, this is a great luck, and Gerry can think that as long as he does a good job, then the white iron ship will be under his own command in the future, so Gerry is even more determined to learn the knowledge of the captain after arriving in the Monto Empire.
"Hehe, this is ten catties of snow sugar, and two catties of sugar cubes, purple is grape-flavored, green is mint-flavored....... Cook gave Gerry another gift.
"And Uncle Gerry, your salary will be doubled for the next year. Cook gave the gift and increased the salary.
"Thank you, Cook, I'll complete my mission, and I'll go back now to find out about the situation in the Monto Empire. Gerry hurried away.
"Lord Baron, a deacon of the Thieves' Guild begs to be seen!" said Cook, who had just sat down, when he heard the servant's report.
"Thieves' union,, this is not a human life, please!" Cook was just about to take a break, and he knew that someone was coming to visit again, and what Cook didn't know was that the people waiting to visit him had been queuing in private for a week.
