Chapter 665: Weighing the Pros and Cons

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

The Satya Empire is close to the Magic City on one side, and borders the Monto Empire on the other side, the Setia Empire is one of the two empires bordering the Magic City, not only the transportation is convenient, but also the business is very prosperous, take the golden road from the Magic City to Roland, Ceylon, Arran Empire, Rochelle Empire, Landi Empire, and Cook's Barony and other empires, passing through several large empires, hundreds of kingdoms, principalities, and the roads within the Satya Empire occupy one-tenth of the road.

A steady stream of wealth passes through the territory of Satya, the flow of people on the golden road is endless every day, the huge flow of people makes the northern region of the Setia Empire very developed and prosperous, and the central region is better, because the central region borders the Katie Empire, and the southernmost area borders the Monto Empire, the reason why the Monto Empire is called an empire is that the territory is larger, in fact, except for a few large cities near the coast, the rest are dense primeval forests, which are not suitable for human habitation at all, it is said that in coastal cities such as the Montu Empire, there are many indigenous people who rely on hunting for a living。

However, although the Satya Empire is prosperous and there are few wars, after all, the magic city needs to maintain stability in its own empire, but the Satya Empire is very affected by the forces in the magic city, and here, the power of the royal family cannot be exerted to the extreme, because the big and small forces in the magic city have spokespersons here.

This is the reason why Cook is a little depressed, because Cook doesn't want to expose his plan so early, the sea is rich in products, which is known to the vast majority of high-level people, so the fat of the Sea Clan has been stared at by major forces, but due to the huge size of the Sea Clan, and the Sea Clan's own advantages, so human beings have not made any moves, once Cook exposed his plan, then there is such a small chance of success, those high-level people will definitely have to intervene, even if Cook is strong, it is impossible to be the enemy of the top small group of people in the entire human society。

But the location of the sea is carefully considered by Cook, and the coast of the Orc Empire does not need to be considered, there is a barren swamp, and there is no human population, even if Cook can open up the trade route of the Sea Clan, then to whom, it is impossible to say that Cook specially established a teleportation array, and thousands of tons of goods from the teleportation array, then the price may have to be doubled.

Outside the Orc Empire is the coast of the Empire of Light, and there are several large ports along the coast of the Empire of Light, but these are all small ships sailing in the shallow sea, and the Empire of Light is an empire of theocracy, and the status of merchants is very low, and the few empires that come over believe in the God of Light, and it is not easy to operate.

There is also a trade route, only the Monto Empire and the Magic City are not only connected by water, but also separated from the Magic City only by the Satya Empire, so the future distribution of goods will be very convenient, then the port is selected in the Monto Empire, the dock must be on the waterway where the port is located, the Magic City does not need to be considered, there are many people, then there is only the Satya Empire, the Monto Empire can not support the materials and logistics needed for a thousands of tons of dock, so the dock can only be selected in the Satya Empire.

However, the purchase and sale of land is a transaction between nobles, especially a large amount of land, such as the lake that Cook bought and the surrounding dozens of kilometers of land, which cannot be purchased by private individuals at all, and such a large-scale purchase of land, the information of the purchaser must be transparent, and there are countless procedures, and Cook is a baron who cannot buy such a piece of land.

Of course, although the United Council of Nobles has the right to canonize nobles, but that is a false name, and the stronger empires do not recognize this thing at all, let alone the territory, so Cook is now a bit of a dead end.

There is a shortcut, as long as Cook reveals his thoughts a little, someone will send the lake up, and there is no need to worry about it, but that the benefits cannot be maximized.

I can't say that Cook is going to have to talk to someone, but at this time, there are basically no people who can participate in this kind of thing, Connie went home for the New Year, and Manly grew up in the temple and didn't know much about these things.

As for Sia and Lina, it is even more said that they spent time in cultivation, Cook thought about it for a while, and he didn't think that there was a suitable candidate, but now the construction period is extremely urgent, and the dock will be built immediately after the dwarf's drawings come out, and there are all kinds of things.

"Alas!" said Cook, who walked around the room alone, then sighed.

Cook sat down silently, and then calculated the benefits of this matter after the leakage and the interests of his own work, and finally Cook calculated it and found that this thing was leaked out to maximize the benefits.

The cultivation of sugar beet can generally be harvested in half a year, so the finished product will be between six and eight months at most, and if you do it by yourself, I am afraid that there will be no way to make a big ship within a year.

And once the purchase of sugar beet is spread, then I am afraid that the people who grow sugar beet will immediately have to multiply it several times, this thing has a high yield, and there will be no less than two seasons a year, so after a year, the output of this sugar will at least increase several times, and at that time I will only make a ship at most, which must have a great impact.

However, if the magician union participates, then as long as you concentrate on making a ship, and then master the core secrets, don't you have someone to manage the rest of the materials, transportation, and logistics, it is estimated that the finished product will be produced in six to eight months, and you can see the profit within a year.

Cook weighed it, and then decided to inform the wizards' guild of the news, of course, the gnome and dwarves also need to do a good job of secrecy, but when Cook said this to Master Mocha, Master Mocha said proudly: "Don't worry, the dwarves and our gnomes know this, you don't see that humans want to steal the memories of the dwarves, but for tens of thousands of years, where has there been success?"

Mocha said this, Cook suddenly realized, and then Cook gave Mocha a map of the lake area, after all, the dock still needs to be designed, not to say that it is built in a haphazard manner.

Mocha looked at the map, and after hearing Cook's request, he immediately rushed out with a scream, to be honest, there are many dwarfs doing this, and there is no shortage of design talents, look at the dwarfs in precision machinery, of course, it can only be said that the world's precision machinery attainments are still quite high.

However, what Cook didn't expect was that the news didn't spread long before the Wizards' Guild reacted, and the president of the Wizards' Guild, Noti, actually visited Cook in person, so that Cook had to rush back to the Magic City.

In this way, President Notti also waited for Cook for nearly two hours, because the teleportation array was some distance from where the Mocha masters lived, plus the delay of the news or something.

"Your Excellency, President!" Cook met President Noti, who is also the executive chairman of the Council of the Wizards' Guild, and of course he had to finish the title of President at least three hundred words.

"Cook, that's good!" President Notty gives people a sense of approachability, but as a magician, Cook can lightly perceive the surging spiritual power of President Noti, this faint coercion, as if a person is standing in front of a huge rumbling tank, giving people a kind of spiritual coercion, just like everyone will subconsciously stay away when they see a heavy trailer from a distance, which is also a form of coercion.

Of course, if this Noti president is full of mental power, Cook will be pressed and unable to move, the higher the level of the magician, the stronger the survivability and attack ability, just take Noti as an example.

Take the archer restraining the magician as an example, the use of ordinary arrows by the middle and low-level archers will not cause damage to President Noti at all, and the mental power is enough to twist any arrow into pieces, and only the combination of high-level magic archers and magic arrows will cause damage to high-level magicians.

But unfortunately, the sale and use of magic arrows are strictly regulated by the Wizards' Guild, except for perverts like Cook, who can refine themselves, and if you want to buy arrows in the Wizards' Guild, the review and supervision are the strongest.

"Hehe, please be seated, please be seated!" Cook hurriedly greeted President Notty.

President Noti looked at Cook, and sighed secretly in his heart, as the leader of a huge force, he knew far more than ordinary people, Cook's Chamber of Commerce monopolized the trade of the entire underground world, the first layer was almost ninety percent of the trade, and the third layer of Danmo City was even more controlled by the person in front of him, not to mention the ability to control hundreds of thousands of ogre knights, troll knights, not to mention the Barony's Territory, the Frost Titan and the Wurm Trading Ground, and the people who had this qiē were all ordinary young people in front of him.

Of course, compared to these dazzling auras, then Cook's fact that he is a pharmacist is more secretive, and Cook's talent for refining potions can only be described as demons, President Noti has a list in his hand, ninety percent of the high-quality potions are from Cook's hands, and the best high-quality potions are all from Cook's hands, and the relationship with dwarves, gnomes, elves is also very good, as well as barbarians, berserkers.

As for the Orc Hotel, not to mention, after Noti's distraction, he saw Cook take out two crystal cups, and then take out a crystal bottle, which contained some water, and then Cook took out a flask, poured the water into it, and put it on the magic furnace, and then Cook put some plant powder into the two crystal cups.

"Hehe, President, this is made by drying the leaves of the natural tree, and it can be soaked dozens of times in a row. Cook smiled and poured the boiling water from the flask into the crystal cup, then explained.

"Oh, the leaves of the Tree of Life?" asked President Notty, confused.

"No, it's supposed to be a sprout!" Cook replied with a smile.

Cook also had an accidental idea, but knowing that the leaves of the tree of nature tasted similar to tea leaves, but with an extra breath of life, President Noti was shocked, knowing the buds of the tree of life, this is something that cannot be obtained at all.

Cook didn't think this thing was very precious, there weren't too many of these shoots in the natural space, and they would grow again one day after picking.

President Noti held the crystal cup, the water in it already had a pale green appearance, and there was an indescribable fragrance, President Noti tasted it gently, closed his eyes, and then half praised: "Good thing, the entrance is slightly bitter, but then the breath of life that erupts is very strong." ”

"Hehe, I don't know what President Noti thinks of my construction. Cook said with a smile, because Cook found that if he didn't ask, President Notty was afraid that he would talk to him, so Cook had to ask first.

"Unconditional support, of course!" President Notty glanced at Cook dumbly, and then suddenly realized, because President Notti regarded Cook as those old monsters, but then he understood that Cook was always a young man, and it was right to be unable to hold his breath, so President Notty also set the tone for the first time.

"Huh. Cook also knew that he was a little impatient, but time waits for no one, after all, dwarves, gnomes, and forging machines all need to be relocated, and the dock site needs to be built, planned, and a series of things are very much.

"Yo, President Noti!" just as Cook was about to explain the situation further, a man burst into the doorway, and screamed.

President Noti's face was a little unpleasant, but after seeing the person who spoke, he still smiled and scolded angrily, "I knew you guys were definitely coming." ”

"That's!" Cook's stunned gaze led to several people coming in, and Cook knew only one, the president of the Thieves' Guild.

Noti could only sigh, although the escort force he brought was very strong, but in the face of these people, he really couldn't stop it, of course, for the sake of secrecy, Noti brought fewer people.

"Cook, this is the president of the Thieves' Guild, the president of the Mercenary Guild, the president of the Assassins' Guild, and the ...... of the Warrior Guild. Notti introduced with a sigh.

"Ah, welcome, welcome!" said Cook, standing up quickly, with the courtesy of a magician.

"Haha, Cook, you're not going to secretly scold us for coming uninvited. The president of the Thieves' Guild had a good relationship with Cook, so he asked with a smile.

"Of course not!" Cook replied with a smile, in fact, Cook was very mindful, after all, the more people involved, his own interests would be affected.

In fact, I don't blame Cook, Noti's identity is the focus of, although it can hide most of the people, but those who have a heart will definitely not be able to hide it, if Notti goes to other places, these people may not care, but what is Cook.

At the beginning, no one looked at Cook's barony, and now the price of land there is more than 10,000 times the original, and no one looks at Cook's purchase of magic metal mines, Nima, it didn't take long for the Orc Empire to fight with the Empire of Light, and the magic metal sold by others was called a happy one, not only paid off the arrears of the Magicians' Union, but also left a lot of it.

Later, he participated in the battle of the two empires, and originally thought that Cook's small barony would be dragged down, but he did not expect that hundreds of thousands of ogres would gather from the Natal Mountains, and the orc empire was even defeated.

So judging from the qiē, as the president of the union, Notti must have made a big move when he went to Cook, and if there was no big move, Notti would go in person, and as soon as the leaders of these major unions came into contact, they immediately decided to come here, of course, this also had something to do with Cook's delay for two hours.

"Are we delaying your discussions?" asked the president of the thieves' guild after sitting down, but without the slightest intention of leaving.

"Well, Cook, tell me about your plan. Notti sighed, in such a circle, there are no secrets at all, especially the first intelligence organization such as the Thieves' Guild, which infiltrates even more powerfully.

Cook slowly explained his plan, of course, the preliminary plan, and after Cook finished speaking, not only Notty's eyes widened, but the other major union presidents also widened their eyes.

Three thousand tons of white iron, this is three thousand tons, when will white iron be calculated in tons, and it is still calculated in thousand tons, Notti took a deep breath, and then asked: "Cook, you are not wrong, this is three thousand tons of white iron?"

"Yes, it was a big problem when I started the experiment, and I will talk about it after I have accumulated experience. Cook replied with a nod.

The president of the Thieves' Guild was stunned and asked, "How many dwarves do you need to build these 3,000 tons of white iron?"

"Hehe, that's the secret. Cook replied with a smile.

The presidents of several major unions were a little hesitant, because Cook's statement, how to say, was somewhat unreliable, but the presidents of several major unions were reluctant to leave, because if Cook said that if it was established, then the prospects of this plan would be limitless.

The president of the thieves' guild finally asked, "Cook, what is your plan about?"

The plan that Cook just said is the first half of the plan, that is to say, he did not disclose what the 3,000 tons of white iron are used for, Cook just said that he needs a place to build a thing, and this thing needs 3,000 tons of white iron to build, because Cook knows that if he doesn't say 3,000 tons of white iron, the presidents here will not give up getting to the bottom of it, because a place is not worth Noti's trip.

Notti glanced at Cook and replied, "Cook wants to trade with the Sea Clan." ”

"Sea Clan!" Several major union presidents immediately jumped up, the Sea Clan can be said to be the most powerful and intelligent race in this plane, and it can be said that the area of the continent occupied by humans is less than one-fifth of the area occupied by the Sea Clan, as for the resources, it is even more huge.

"Well, I'm going to build a big ship. Cook replied in the affirmative.

Notti said to Cook, "Cook, tell me all about your plan. ”

Cook had no choice but to tell the whole plan, including the fact that the Sea Clan needed sugar, because Cook knew that as long as these major unions went out to check, Uncle Gerry would definitely be found out, and it would be better to say it himself, as for building a sea ship, this was of course a secret.

"Cook, how can you trade with the Sea Clan?" As the top leaders of several major unions, the president of the thieves' union asked the most crucial question for the first time.

"Hehe, this is a secret, of course, if you have any doubts, you can not participate, I will give money as usual. Of course, Cook wouldn't say that he had a merfolk hostage in his hands, and then Cook replied with a smile.

As soon as Cook's words came out, the presidents of the major trade unions immediately thought about it, because even if the major unions withdrew now, just by virtue of Cook's revelation that the Sea Clan needed sugar, the major unions could get some benefits, but compared with the Sea Clan's deal, these benefits were simply the gap between elephant legs and mosquito legs.

Of course, the danger is also quite high, and finally the president of the thieves' guild asks, "So what kind of investment is needed now?"
