Celestial Mage

Chapter 298 You Didn't Kneel Down? (13)

About half an hour later, ten microscopes were delivered to Mona.

Each microscope is packed in an exquisite wooden box, which is 50 cm high, 30 cm long and 15 cm wide, and weighs [-] catties, which is neither light nor heavy.

After all, it was a big deal worth [-] kroner, and Mona didn't dare to neglect it.

Looking at the crafting apprentice who was in charge of handing over, she asked cautiously, "Can I inspect the goods?"

This apprentice is not young, nearly 30 years old, with a square face, serious expression, thin lips tightly pursed, and some gray hair, giving people a feeling that he is very difficult to speak.

He introduced himself first.

"I am Hazzard, the craftsman apprentice, and I will also be your accompanying technician. All my expenses will be borne by the lord, and my job is to help customers better use the precision instruments produced by my Crescent Neck."

Afterwards, he resolutely rejected Mona's request.

"Miss, the microscope has been carefully inspected when it leaves the workshop to ensure that everything is perfect before it is packed."

Mona immediately begged softly: "Just test one, okay?"

Hazzard seemed ruthless, and said solemnly: "Miss Mona, don't you believe in the lord's reputation?!"

It was a ruthless iron face.

Mona felt that she had kicked the iron plate, and smiled awkwardly: "I naturally believe in the reputation of the lord. Then load the car."

She was about to order Lifu to move the goods.

"Wait a minute!"

Hazzard called stop again.

"Miss, the microscope is a precision instrument, and any error may cause the instrument to fail."

"When loading the car, please spread enough thick hay on the bottom of the car first, and also purchase a sufficient amount of thick cotton cloth to wrap carefully, and wrap at least five layers. The cotton should be stuffed with each other to prevent mutual collision."

"Finally, I will also keep the weak Thuro levitation technique and the weak constant temperature circle on the truck body."

"The former prevents bumps. The latter prevents severe temperature changes from deforming the instrument."

Immediately, Mona felt that this technical specialist was very professional, and praised him repeatedly.

"It really is an instrument that can penetrate the most subtle mysteries."

Mona immediately commanded the servants.

"You, go to the market and buy a pile of hay, heavy cotton cloth and cotton, the thicker the better."

After buying the things, Hazzard immediately began to direct Lifu.

"First carefully arrange a circle in the truck compartment, the bottom and the four walls must be fully padded."

"That's right.

"Okay, you can move it up now, move it lightly, hold it lightly, put it lightly, pay attention to the up and down position, and never put it upside down!"

"Cotton cloth is also stuffed between the boxes next to each other, yes, stuff it full, don't be stingy with cotton cloth. How much is cotton cloth?"

"Okay, back off, I'm going to start casting spells."

After finally installing the microscope properly, other goods from Xinyue Town were also delivered.

These goods include 1000 advanced Mithril petrified staffs, 100 pairs of precision focusing binoculars, 1000 instruments of various grades and functions, and rune stones.

It looks like a lot, but in fact it is not big, and they are all high-knowledge value-added goods.

Its total value has reached 25 crowns.

In addition, there are ten sample rifles, but they were brought to temples in various places for promotion.

During the loading process, Hazzard, the craftsman apprentice, gave careful instructions, with a meticulous attitude, and did not expect the cargo to be safe.

In fact, it will be his main job from today onwards.

Nearly [-] years old, with low-level mana and mediocre talent for refining, but fortunately, he has a good memory and an extremely stubborn and rigorous personality.

Although the crafting skills are average, he is familiar with the basic principles, maintenance methods, and simple repairs of each product in the workshop.

After being spotted by Rosen, he arranged such a position as a caravan accompanying technician.

Because he had to leave his hometown and travel with the caravan, and the task was important, Rosen gave him 80 kronor as an excess monthly payment, as well as food, accommodation and even entertainment subsidies.

For Hazzard, this is a high income that is unimaginable.

He was born in a farming family, and all his relatives and friends were farmers who planed food in the mud, and none of them earned more than 20 kronor a year.

He is truly a glorious ancestor now.

In fact, when he learned that he was accepted by the lord as an apprentice for refining, the village matchmaker lined up at his door.

His two younger brothers also directly married the beautiful girl he liked.

Therefore, he cherished this opportunity very much, and was very grateful to the lord.

The value of the goods was very high, so before departure, Mona dared not neglect, and hired a large number of good hands as the escorts of the convoy.

When a businessman does business, every second counts.

After loading, the convoy set off immediately, heading south to the highlands.

Mona is an experienced businessman, and she has the most trust in Candela. At this time, she has done such a large amount of business at once, and she personally escorted the car along the way.

The goods came out of Xinyue Town, along the smooth petrochemical road, and quickly went south to the Amber River Wharf in Maple Leaf Town. After the goods were boarded, the three large ships went all the way south along the river.

When they passed through Fanggu Town, they brought large barrels of clay potions to fill the fleet with more than half of it, and then continued southward.

After passing through the riverside town of Baron Dumont, the special products of the riverside town were loaded again, and the boat was fully loaded.

In terms of volume, the goods of the latter two lords are more than ten times that of Crescent Town, but in terms of value, they are less than one-tenth of the former.

According to Mona's personal opinion, she is too lazy to do this business, but this is all the way of the world, and she can only accept this business that does not make much money.

Finally, the fleet merged all the way into the Hanshui River, and after walking down for half a day, they arrived at the junction of the three realms.

Continuing to go south is the east border, turning right is the middle border.

In terms of alchemy technology, the Central Realm is also far behind the Eastern Realm.

In terms of social vitality, the Central Territory is far inferior to the Eastern Territory.

However, in terms of academic atmosphere and wealth, the Central Realm, where the imperial capital is located, is only slightly inferior to the Eastern Realm.

Looking at the wide river leading to the east, Mona sighed secretly.

Once they go to the middle region, they will definitely be hated by the Marquis of Suiye City, and business in the east region will become very difficult in the future.

With a feeling of apprehension, she said loudly: "Turn to the Golden Grand Canal and go to the Great Golden Lake Wharf in the Imperial Capital."

There are two major rivers in the Golden Land, the Hanshui River in the northeast and the Nuyan River in the southwest. The two river systems were originally independent of each other.

But more than 500 years ago, God Emperor Deuta V assembled forces from all over the world, enlisted more than 100 million civilians and tens of thousands of mages, and spent ten years building a golden canal with a length of more than 1500 lam, bringing the land of gold together. The transport water network is integrated into one.

The Golden Grand Canal is divided into two sections, one running southeast and one running north-south. The middle is connected to the Great Golden Lake, and the lakeside is the imperial capital Romilburg.

Although the owner, Candela, does not take the business route of the imperial capital, his Lawrence family still has a lot of business in the imperial capital, so they can borrow a little.

But how much can be borrowed, and whether this business trip can make a lot of money, Mona has no idea.

She stood at the bow and prayed in a low voice.

"May the gods bless the master, and bless New Moon Town."

It just so happened that Hazzard was also standing at the bow of the boat. Hearing this, he asked, "What is Miss Mona worried about?"

"My lord's goods are full of gold, and I can't find a second one. It is impossible not to sell them."

As soon as Mona heard this, she knew that this person was an admirer of the New Moon Lord, and she had almost blind faith in her Lord.

There are a lot of people like this in New Moon Territory. Because they haven't been out much and seen little of the world, they think that their lord is the most powerful person in the world.

As everyone knows, there are countless strong people in this world.

Of course, Mona also knew that arguing with such diehards was futile.

She could only nod: "You're right."

When the fleet entered the Grand Canal, it was already six o'clock the next morning.

At this time, on the south side of the river, about a hundred miles away, was the Wharf of Suiye City.

Huo Ze, the dock supervisor, was lecturing his subordinates loudly.

"The lord has issued a new order, as long as the ship is brought out from the new moon, it will be intercepted, four times the transit tax will be charged, and the profit of the other party will be squeezed out, do you hear me clearly?"

"Listen clearly!"

"But there is one exception, that is, when there are exquisite oil paintings on board, and the subject of the oil paintings is related to the Duke, just ignore everything and let them go immediately."

"Yes, my lord."

"Very good, everyone keep their eyes wide open and stare at the surface of the river. According to the news, Xinyue has brought out a new boat. If you count the time, it will arrive at noon at the latest!"

"clear."

A group of wharf tax officials boarded a dedicated tax collection boat and cruised back and forth on the river, like a pack of wolves hunting for prey.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was afternoon.

There were many merchant ships on the river, but none of them were led by Xinyue.

The tax officials waited and waited until it was dark, but they did not find the target.

After the day was completely dark, the dock manager got a new message.

"The cargo ship from the New Moon Territory didn't come to Suiye City at all, and went directly to the middle region."

The dock manager was stunned for a moment, and immediately reported the news to the dock supervisor Huo Ze.

Huo Ze was taken aback, and immediately reported it.

About an hour later, the Marquis was having dinner with his family when the news reached the Hollenier High Castle.

Hearing the news, his face turned blue, mana surged in his body, and a frightening light flashed in his eyes.

'Crack! '

There was an ear-piercing sound of metal cracking, and the silver table knife in his hand was directly crushed into a pile of silver ingots by the mage's hand.

Everyone in the restaurant was silenced, and the air was as heavy as water.

It took a long time for the Marquis' face to return to normal, but his eyes were dark and frightening.

"Hehe, it seems that Kendela doesn't plan to do business in the East Territory anymore."

The family members who are familiar with his personality dare not speak a word, breathe, let alone eat, for fear of suffering the aftermath of anger.

After a long time, Hollenir said again: "What are you doing in a daze, continue to eat."

"Get me a new meat cleaver."

When the new knife was handed over, he cut a piece of meat vigorously, put it in his mouth and chewed vigorously, as if he was chewing the flesh and blood of his enemy.

He is 50 years old this year, and at the age of 43 he broke through the master cliff and was promoted to a level 1 archmage.

Now that 7 years have passed, he is already a level 2 archmage, and he can be regarded as a good magic genius.

In addition to the realm of mana, he has made outstanding achievements in the field of magic. At the same time, he is also a marquis bestowed by God, the lord of the sixth city in the east, with more than 500 million people.

Such a divinely favored person naturally has a pride far exceeding that of ordinary people in his heart.

When the New Moon Territory announced a permanent structure of spells that could be strengthened for 40 years, and suddenly increased his record of persistence by 8 times, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

That's fine, after all, it's an improvement in technique, and it's a great thing that benefits the entire Golden Land.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually integrated this thing into the petrochemical construction technique, and created the miracle of building the town in January, and even humiliated Sir Mason, who he specially sent to the Crescent Territory to investigate the secrets of petrochemicals.

As a result, he disliked the New Moon Lord even more.

If it's just that, then it's fine, but the other party specially sent three petrified mithril staffs.

At first, he was quite happy, thinking that the New Moon Lord was very good, so he started to crack the so-called spell lock on the staff with great interest.

In his mind, how difficult could a spell lock invented by an intermediate mage be? With the real thing in front of him, there was no reason why it couldn't be broken.

As a result, almost three months have passed, and he has made no progress other than making himself dizzy.

The long-term failure accumulated in his heart, which made him feel very frustrated. At the same time, an invisible anger arose, and he felt that he was humiliated by a middle-level mage.

Then since he lost to the opponent in magic, he naturally recovered from the secular world.

I thought that the other party would obediently give in, and offered to send the secret of the petrification technique to the door for reconciliation.

Unexpectedly, instead of yielding, the young Crescent Lord would not take his business route at all.

This ignited the anger in his chest.

'Why does a lowly baron insist on confronting me? '

With a good beard, a square face, and a majestic expression, the marquis of Godsend became more and more angry, and lost his appetite for dinner.

"Alright, just be your little lord, don't even think about doing business!"

He knew that the other party had an oil painting relationship with the princess, and the princess gave him a lot of money, but money alone was useless.

If money cannot buy materials, then money is no different from scrap iron.

He didn't care about Huahua, so he just blocked specific materials, especially materials unique to the East Territory.

Such as refining equipment, rare materials, advanced alchemy potions, and so on.

Stop them all!

As long as they pass through his territory, all land and water routes will be blocked.

Not only to block it by ourselves, but also to persuade the great lords of the eastern border, even the central border, and even the northern border to resist together.

Verbal persuasion is useless, and the exchange of benefits, even if you lose a thousand, will make the business of Crescent Landing fail!

Anyway, he's not bad for money.

And even if the other party knelt in front of him and begged for forgiveness, he would never forgive him!

　Three more times a day will last for about six days.After six days, there are enough manuscripts to be saved, and the four shifts will be restarted until the end of the month.
