Lord of Arcane

Chapter 215 The Arrival of Fenovita
It was already late at night, but on the second floor of the backyard of a store in the eastern part of Savile Town, President Hans and others who had just left Derrick Manor gathered together again.

After dismissing the servants who came to deliver some food and drink, Chairman Hans closed the doors and windows himself, and the three of them sat around a trembling burning candle.

Looking at the floating flames, the three seemed to see their own future destiny.After a long time, President Massa of the Slavin Chamber of Commerce suddenly said:

"You two, do we really want to tie all our wealth to that Daxia collar that doesn't even have a single citizen?"

"Then what else do you want? Compete with Derrick's several chambers of commerce in Savile?" President Fleck of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce shook his head, and said disdainfully, as if mocking himself or self-deprecating.

"The Savile Territory has been developed for so many years. If it weren't for the orcs, it would have opened up a long time ago. Small chambers of commerce like us are not as good as other people's cronies, and we don't have the background strength of foreign chambers of commerce. If we rashly participate in it, we will only be eaten to the bone. None left."

President Fleck's words seemed to resonate with the other two presidents. President Hans slapped the table and said bitterly with a resentment:

"That's right, even if we didn't open up, our life would be difficult. Some time ago, people from the Gorse Chamber of Commerce were arrested for smuggling food. It wasn't my business, but the tax officer charged an extra two hundred. If I hadn't mentioned knowing Lord Derrick, it would be more than two hundred gold coins."

"Two hundred gold coins?" The other two also shook their heads.

Two hundred gold coins is nothing to them, but this behavior of deducting money at every turn makes them feel uneasy, and it's okay if they rely on Derrick completely.

But to become a businessman, who doesn't have extraordinary ambitions!If it is not desperate, who would be willing to submit to others!

If they can invest in a new territory, maybe they can become people like Derrick!
After all, they are mature businessmen. After the three complained, they began to discuss how to coordinate the allocation of materials. The three chambers of commerce are in different fields, so they can form a closer alliance to deal with possible risks.

……

On the other side, somewhere in the Green Pearl Forest, the elf Fenovetta was sullen and angry like the family guards. He just arrived in the Green Pearl Forest tonight, but he didn't hear any good news from the family guards——

There are many archmages in the human territory, and there are archmages behind them. The development plan of Savile Territory is a foregone conclusion;

The members of the guard searched almost the entire Green Pearl Forest, but found no trace of the Stardew Scepter, and it is unlikely to find any clues in the foreseeable future.

Fenoveta was full of thoughts on finding the Stardew Scepter for the family, but the current situation made him feel that his coming was superfluous.

"Why don't you talk? The patriarch has long confirmed that the Stardew Scepter is in the Green Pearl Forest. Even if it is an inch of land, it should be found after so many years! Are you sure that you are really an elf, not a goblin?"

Fenovetta was so angry that even the goblin said something like that. An elf in the guard who looked a bit unruly couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up and retorted:
"The patriarch will know if we are careful. It's not your turn to talk about us. The patriarch's order is to let us cooperate with you and let us see what you can do? Honorable Master Fenovita!"

Although the last sentence was an honorific, the deliberately changed tone made the sentence full of irony, and even several members of the guard repeated it again.

Fenoveta's face was flushed with anger, and he wanted to teach them a lesson, but all the members of the guards in front of him were related to him, and he said that the most rebellious one was the youngest son of his grandfather's brother.

In terms of seniority, Fenovita still calls him uncle!
And the most distant relationship among the others is also the husband of a distant aunt of his. If he really does something, the family may be in trouble again!

If it disturbs the only high-ranking mage in the family, or even affects the residence time of that person, that would be a great crime.

"Humph!"

Fenovita took a deep breath, and instead of looking at his little uncle's annoying face, he directly ordered the captain, "The search mission can't stop, tell me anything you find suspicious, and I'll go check it out myself."

"Yes!" The captain responded indifferently. Although he is the patriarch's confidant, he doesn't have any special treatment for the patriarch's younger brother.

Hundreds of years of long life have already made him see through everything. What he pursues is the prosperity of the family. If it wasn't for the fact that Feinovita is the most promising person in the family to become a high-level mage, he wouldn't even bother to say a word. .

"By the way, the human side is also watching, I suspect—"

Fenoveta didn't say the latter words, but the captain who had been searching for the Stardew Scepter all these years understood the latter meaning.

He nodded, casually pointed to an elf to explain to Fenovetta, and then left quietly with the other elves.

As soon as the guards left, Fenoveta threw out a full green seed, and then triggered the magic net.After a while, the seed took root and sprouted, and a delicate wooden house grew out.

He greeted the remaining guard member, "Come in and talk."

"Yes."

Then the two talked softly, and the wooden house isolated all of this from the dark forest.

……

Tower of Time.

After returning to the residence, Xia Duo immediately sat at the desk, writing and drawing, and before resting, he had to make a simple list for the territory development.

Such as the quantity and type of the first batch of personnel and materials, the number of people needed in the follow-up, development steps, problems encountered in the process, the first profit point, etc.

As long as Xia Duo has free time these days, he will think about these things, but he has never written a plan on paper. He will discuss development matters with Mrs. Patty tomorrow, and he needs to make all the preparations.

Xia Duo didn't go to rest until late at night.

……

Early the next morning, the first thing Xia Duo did was to check the development list from last night to see if there were any deficiencies, or to think again and find that it was unrealistic.

After a rough check, he put it away with him.

In the afternoon, Xia Duo put away the 4 magic scrolls he made in his spare time in the morning, and hurriedly left the Mage Tower.

In order to hurry up, he cast magic and summoned the mount directly when he went out, and rushed all the way to Mrs. Patty's house.

Mrs. Patty and a steward of the Liadon Chamber of Commerce are already waiting for him.

As soon as he came over, Xia Duo asked, "Is the priest of Leiden here?"

"I'll send someone to invite you right away." Mrs. Patty beckoned, and the butler, who had been prepared for a long time, left directly.

And Mrs. Patty continued: "My lord, this is Arman, the manager of the Liaton Chamber of Commerce. He will follow up on the development of the Great Xia Territory at any time."

"Yeah!" Xia Duo nodded, noticing the stack of paperwork held in Yarman's hand, which looked like some accounts, and he saw a crappy elf character on the top, which was "Big Xia collar".

"What is that? Show it to me!" Xia Duo held out his hand.

Arman didn't dare to refuse, he glanced at Mrs. Patty first, and seeing that she didn't respond, he quickly handed the document to Xia Duo: "My lord, this is a pioneering plan I made, and I have already purchased it. Part of the material list."

Xia Duo received it in his hand, and looked carefully, the first page was the "settlement allowance" of the 20 freedmen mentioned by Mrs. Patty yesterday.

Not much, one person only needs 20 gold coins, and these 20 people can change from Savile citizens to Daxia citizens. Of course, the 20 people can't get the money, it is for Savile.
