Lord of Arcane

Chapter 412 Requisition of Ships
Now that he came to Savile Town, Xia Duo first went to the town office to inquire about the negotiations with various chambers of commerce, but the result was not very satisfactory.

Whether it's the Tower of Time or the president of the Savile Town branch, they are actually happy to see the new contract reached, but the headquarter of those chambers of commerce is still hesitant, and it just keeps dragging on.

Neither explicitly refuse nor directly agree.

Xia Duo wasn't very impatient, after all, the princess had already contacted a chamber of commerce for Niya, and when the specific news came out, they would probably agree.

Walking out of the town hall, Xia Duo reckoned that all the people he contacted just now should have arrived, so he rode on the summoning mount and ran to the villa area in the north.

Mrs. Patty Manor House.

Steward Yarman waited at the gate of the manor himself, looking at the intersection from time to time, waiting left and right but no one came, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious, clasped his hands, and paced back and forth.

At this moment, Arman suddenly heard a series of hoofbeats behind him, from far to near, and he turned around quickly to see that the "da da" sound of horse hoofs had come to him.

"Ah——" Arman's heart almost jumped out of his throat, he forcibly controlled his panic, and quickly stepped forward to salute, "Lord Xiaduo, several presidents have arrived."

"very good."

Xia Duo nodded, disbanded his mount, and walked to the villa with Steward Yarman. On the way, he asked, "How is the situation of the Liaton Chamber of Commerce recently?"

"Thanks to your lord, the chamber of commerce has managed to control its decline, and its connection with Conifera City has also been restored. It will definitely serve you better in the future."

Xia Duo was noncommittal about the service or something. The merchant's words could be somewhat sincere, and the left and right were just a transaction. However, the connection between the Liaton Chamber of Commerce and Conifera City was restored, which is worth paying attention to.

Xia Duo understands the core competitiveness of the Liaton Chamber of Commerce. In fact, the elves in Conifera City have some connections, similar to the compradors on Earth. The local Chamber of Commerce in Savile Territory wants to develop Conifera trade need their help.

It is a model of empty-handed white wolf.

For some reason, the connection between the Liaton Chamber of Commerce and the elves was suddenly severed, which gave Mrs. Patty the idea of ​​transformation, but she has never been in business in the past, and if she wants to transform all of a sudden, she will definitely not be able to stop the decline.

And now that she has hooked up with the elf again, I just don't know what Mrs. Patty is thinking now?

I chatted with Steward Yarman about the situation of the three chambers of commerce, Hans, Slavin, and Flash Gold. The villa has already arrived, and Mrs. Patty and the three presidents are at the door to greet them.

"Master Xiaduo!"*4
"Yeah." Xia Duo nodded back, "Let's talk inside."

"Yes, yes." The three presidents responded at the same time.

With Xia Duo's current status, even if they are asked to stand here and talk, they don't have any opinions.

When he came to the reception room, Xia Duo took the main seat without hesitation, and then let everyone sit down, and said: "I came to you this time to learn about the recruitment of the population of the territory, and there is another important matter that needs to be shared by several of your chambers of commerce. do it."

"My lord, no matter what it is, the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce will definitely do it for you!" As soon as Xia Duo finished speaking, President Fleck of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce couldn't wait to express his opinion.

The others followed quickly, only Mrs. Patty was a little slower, but she also clearly expressed her support.

"I have obtained permission from the Severton Council to directly recruit subjects in Severton. I need you to help me bring my subjects back."

Several presidents, you look at me, I look at you, Fleck, who was the first to speak just now, was "forced" by the others, and stood up bravely, "My lord, we are willing to serve you, but we are not interested in Sei I'm not familiar with Wen Dun, I'm worried that I won't be able to handle the affairs of adults."

"You don't have to worry about this. The Severton Council will do all the recruitment of people. You just need to bring the documents I issued to lead people."

Speaking of this, Xia Duo also felt that this pioneering movement was too difficult. When it comes to population, no lord would be willing to let people go.

From a legal point of view, even the Severton Council has no right to forcibly recruit people, and can recruit citizens at will, which shows that there must be transactions and compromises involving all the lords in the whole territory.

The princess alone does not have such great energy. After all, some lords are great arcanists themselves, so why should they give in to the princess who is also a great arcanist?
It can be seen from this that although the pioneering movement is led by the princess, it must be approved and supported by the vast majority of grand arcanists, at least on the surface.

After listening to Xia Duo's explanation, several presidents present were also shocked. This news is really amazing. If the Severton Council can come forward to recruit people for Lord Xia Duo, then here——

"My lord, Fleck is willing to serve you, and the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce will spare no effort to complete this task!"

Damn it, he got ahead of him again!President Hans of the Hans Chamber of Commerce was very annoyed. He glanced at Yiyan Fleck angrily, and quickly expressed his determination, "My lord, although the Hans Chamber of Commerce does not have merchant ships, I am willing to buy them locally from Severton. Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce is quick!"

The other two chambers of commerce also agreed.

Mrs. Patty is also willing to buy merchant ships on the spot in Severton, but Xia Duo does not agree with buying merchant ships at Severton and transporting people back.

Of course, he was very satisfied with the attitudes of Fleck and Mrs. Patty.

"Thank you for the support of the presidents, but the matter of transporting people is not so urgent. It takes time for the council to recruit people, and it is coming to winter now. The Great Xia leader does not have so many houses to house them for the time being. I plan to wait until the spring of next year. Proceed. Also, the ship problem—”

Xia Duo paused for a moment. In fact, he was also hesitating whether to use a ship to transport people. To be honest, the most ideal situation would take at least a month for a trip, and it might take a few months for any situation. It is so inconvenient.

This was unbearable for Xia Duo, who was used to the convenient transportation on Earth, and if there was no need for shipping, magic could only be used.

Use [Portal] or [Transportation Circle], but the former is an 8-level spell, and the latter is a 9-level spell. Even if it is a solidified portal or a teleportation circle, it will be broken every time it is used.

Whether it is to ask a mage to cast a spell, or to use the portal or the teleportation circle of the Arcane Federation to transport hundreds of people down, the price will go to the sky.

But since the transportation of people will start after the spring of next year, Xia Duo is thinking, will he have already opened the door to transport people by then?
Casting spells yourself and asking others to help are definitely two different things.

Of course, being sure that you will definitely become an archmage is absolutely different from becoming an archmage before the spring of next year.

Furthermore, Xia Duo still had to advance to the rank of Arcanist. He didn't want to be just an ordinary mage, and the time needed to advance to the rank, according to his plan, would not be completed in the spring of next year.

Unless he wanted it, there was a projection plane waiting for him to enter at any time, allowing him to borrow some time from the future.

However, the uncertainty of this is too high. Even though the Tower of Time has already searched three projection planes, he has entered two in time. Xia Duo is not 100% sure that he can still search in the future, and he still has able to enter in time.

Just for a moment, Xia Duo thought of a lot, after all, he couldn't be so radical, it's better to be prepared with both hands, so he continued:
"The ship is a problem. I hope that at least 500 people can be transported in one trip. If the ship is not enough, I will pay for it."

Steward Yarman knew the situation of these chambers of commerce and the Great Xia Territory best, so he said, "Sir, including Owen's number, it should be enough!"

Xia Duo considered that the state of the magic net in the ruins of the mythos is still a little dangerous for the time being, and he still needs to detour through the town of Savile to travel between the Tower of Time and the Great Xia Territory. ship.

"Forget about the Owen. You bought another ship in Severton and asked me to reimburse you when you came back. In addition, you also made a list of the losses of your chamber of commerce during this period. I will also reimburse you."

This kind of situation is similar to the requisition of ship personnel, Xia Duo is not prepared to requisition for free, otherwise it will not be so easy next time, and win-win cooperation is the kingly way.

Of course, as a superior, he must be more dominant.
