Gao Wunan's Legend of Wushuang

As if seeing his worry, Ladis, who was sitting at the top, smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Lawrence, we will keep Ms. Holo's identity a secret."

Lawrence quickly thanked him.

"Speaking of which, I heard the story told by Miss Holo. Mr. Lawrence is considered an excellent traveling businessman."

Lawrence's face darkened. Since he became a partner with Holo, several transactions have not been considered successful, and even several times he almost went bankrupt. He is really not a good businessman.

"Introduce myself again, I am the chief affairs officer under Duke Sauron."

Although he guessed that the identity of the other party should be noble, but the chief affairs officer has a lot of power, and he is a high-level executive who dominates the fate of businessmen, big and small. Lawrence's heart skipped a beat, and his expression became solemn.

"Dear Madam, Lawrence of the Ron Chamber of Commerce sends you my sincere greetings."

Ladis nodded slightly, "Please forgive me for your behavior. In fact, when I learned the identity of Your Excellency Holo, Sator had already found out the information about the two of you."

This is not surprising. As an experienced traveling businessman, Lawrence's experience is not superficial. He has heard about the behavior of nobles or powerful people for a long time, but when he uses it on himself, it also makes his back grow a thin layer. sweat.

"Please don't get me wrong, we don't have any malicious intentions, we just want to know what kind of man Holo-dono can trust."

Regarding this, Lawrence could only smile wryly. Although he had expected the identity of the girl, he knew from the beginning that they were not characters from the same world.

etc!Perhaps the conversation this morning went so smoothly, most likely because of Holo!

Although I don't want to admit it in my heart, but when I think about it now, I find that there are many doubts about how five small-scale merchants snatched the quota of precious spices from many competitors.

This realization made Lawrence uncontrollably depressed. He thought that the efforts he had made were only for the sake of others, which shattered his pride in the past.

Not seeing the sudden turn of the man in front of her, Ladis said her real purpose after a brief pause, "Mr. Lawrence, I heard that your goods this time are ironware from the Tullius region?"

Lawrence nodded. Tullius is located in the interior of the Church, where it is rich in minerals, especially iron ore. Every year, countless blacksmiths work here to produce iron products needed for half the continent.

"There is information that a new iron mine has been discovered in the Principality of Sator, but it is impossible to mine in large quantities in the short term. By the way! The recruitment of miners and blacksmiths is also a problem. Ye Lantis has never had large-scale mining in the history. Experience in this area It must be in short supply! No wonder after the discovery of iron ore, iron products are still purchased at a price [-]% higher than the market price!"

As a businessman's instinct, Lawrence was able to spot the business opportunities in the first place. If this road expands, it will be a point of interest that is not weaker than that of spices.

"However...the increase in demand for iron ore means that the Principality of Sator is about to go to war!" Lawrence's thoughts turned, but there was no change on the surface, but he saluted Ladis, "Ma'am, may I ask?" Is there anything I need to order?"

"You are a friend of Lord Holo, so you don't need to be so polite. You just want to make a deal with Lord Lawrence."

Ladis said with a serious expression, "We would like to ask His Excellency Lawrence to inform the local Miners' Chamber of Commerce and Blacksmiths' Chamber of Commerce about the local situation when he returns to Tullius. The Duchy of Sator promises to pay twice the salary Blacksmiths and miners who come here."

really!My guess is correct!Lawrence quickly considered the pros and cons, and this move would inevitably attract local blacksmiths and miners to the city.

Of course, this will also offend the local authorities, but these two are free people, and even the church and nobles are not qualified to restrain them.

"As a reward, we will promise Mr. Lawrence twice the original share of spices."

Lawrence pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "What about the iron ore? If I can send a large amount of iron ore, do you have any demand?"

Ladis took a deep look at Lawrence, "Of course, for iron ore, we will buy it at a price [-]% higher than the market price."

Having said that, she actually didn't expect much in return. If it weren't for the close allies, no country on this continent would easily sell strategic materials such as iron ore to other countries.

This is also the main reason why the Principality of Sator has only purchased in small batches so far and has not made large purchases.

If the other party can really do it, she will not hesitate to pay him more attention.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Lawrence was keenly aware of the unfinished intentions of the official of His Majesty the Duke, and he seemed to be thinking until the end of the party.

"So... did you think of anything?" The werewolf girl sitting behind Lawrence stretched her waist and said lazily.

Lawrence rubbed his chin with his right hand, and said slowly: "I haven't heard any news about the price increase of iron ore for now, and the harvest season will also come. The probability of war during this period is not high. Sure enough, it will be next year..."

However, Holo shook her head and refuted his opinion, "It's wrong, although Evileye didn't say it clearly, but he doesn't know how to fight, and there is no sign of recruiting a large number of soldiers in the city. The goal of the Principality in the next few years will be business. leading."

"In this case, it's just a normal transaction, but the demand is so huge, it's too strange..." I couldn't figure it out for a while, but I could only suppress my doubts in my heart.

"If you find it difficult, we can intercede for you." Holo suddenly let out a teasing laugh.

When Lawrence heard the words, he immediately refused, "There is no need! We are sure to make this deal! If this deal goes well, our accommodation and meals will be greatly improved."

"Really? We're looking forward to it..." Holo smiled slightly, and gently hugged the man in front of her.

……

As a new country, the Principality of Zato has many shortcomings.

All the powerful countries on the mainland have been developed through several generations or hundreds of years of inheritance. Compared with them, the Duchy of Sato is like a newborn baby. Although it has vitality, it lacks the necessary foundation.

However, relying on the border city of E-Rantel, the new principality occupies a superior geographical location and is the most important link between the empire and the kingdom. Develop commerce and earn the title of commercial capital.

But compared to this, there is a shortage of domestic defense forces, because during this period of commercial prosperity, while gaining countless wealth and attention, it also attracted organizations engaged in gray industries to enter the city.

These organizations have caused the dark forces of the entire principality to increase rapidly with the development of commerce. Spices that are worth more than gold make them ready to move. Abandoned apartments, dark sewers, and wild forests are all hiding places, like cold and greedy poisonous snakes. From the shadows watched the newborn nation.

Profits make people crazy, relying only on the Blue Rose mercenary group and the knights stationed by the empire, it is difficult to restrain the sight in the dark.

Under such circumstances, on the one hand, the Principality recruited soldiers from the people as the cornerstone of its rule, and on the other hand, Cang Qiangwei came forward to vigorously attack the underground forces and maintain the balance on the surface.

But in the dark, conspiracies happen frequently, and undercurrents surge...

"The light shines, and the shadows are born with it. It seems that those ghosts and monsters feel the opportunity. It's ridiculous!"

Under the plain tone, there was some kind of indescribable emotion, just like this seemingly ordinary body contained unparalleled terrifying power!

In Ladis' eyes, the man in front of her was the supreme ruler. After witnessing his invincible power with her own eyes, the once proud girl completely surrendered at the man's feet.

The King of Heroes is what the outside world calls this man. He is comparable to ancient heroes and can crusade against... No!That is a great existence at the top of the hero, even surpassing the demon god.

As a steel-grade mercenary, Ladis can better understand the opponent's strength.

"How is the ore prepared?" A man's voice suddenly came from ahead.

Gathering her mind, Ladis replied respectfully: "It has been arranged, and personnel are currently being transferred to mine, but the existing personnel are not enough, and the progress is relatively slow for the time being."

"Hmm..." His fingers tapped on the armrest of the seat, and a monotonous echo echoed in the wide hall. Sauron sat on the throne, looking like he was thinking about something.

Unlike Ainz, who owned the entire Nazarick Tomb in his original plane, Sauron, who came to this world "alone", does not have a huge system to support a country, and even the soldiers who maintain the order of the country are from the Empire. support.

Although the economic situation in the country has been greatly eased because of Duke Sauron’s strong business support model, and because of the throwing of spices, it has gained a lot of benefits for the Principality of Sator, but other materials , all need to be imported from abroad.

Even an invincible king cannot control people's hearts.

The existence of shadows makes this new country like a fragile sandcastle on the beach, which will be completely shattered by the impact of a wave.

In the long run, it will inevitably be subject to the empire everywhere. Such a ruler is just a puppet imprisoned on the throne.

However, not without a solution...

Ladis suddenly opened her eyes wide, looking in surprise at the "creation" that suddenly appeared in the room.

The huge elliptical disc, shining with a silvery white metallic luster, has lines of current distributed across its surface, quietly suspended in mid-air.

"Portable Mastermind--Gamma Type", the most advanced technology in the Valkyrie World, although it is several generations behind the central mastermind level of the Bai Family Imperial City, it can still be called a black technology.

In this world, although magic is popular, technological factors also exist. Although the basic rules have changed, they still follow the laws of nature. After a period of debugging, the main brain has been able to adapt to this world.

Relying on only one mastermind, although the development of the world itself has not lit up any technology tree, but with its superintelligence far surpassing that of human beings, it can still establish an industrial system in line with the current world in a short period of time out of thin air.

Although it does not have the magic civilization background of Nazarick, the energy that a mature industrial system can explode is beyond everyone's imagination.

This is exactly where you have magic and I have technology.

Chapter 32 The Sudden Rescuer

Two months later

Across the long distance, from the area ruled by the Theocracy to the new Principality of Tsato, the arrival of a large number of blacksmiths and miners did not cause much disturbance.

At this moment, everyone in the principality was attracted by another group of sudden visitors.Roble Holy Kingdom.

The Holy Kingdom is a country led by the peninsula in the southwest of the Re-Estiger Kingdom.

It is a country with a strong religious color that takes the Holy Work of Faith-based magic as the apex, blends with the power of the temple, and governs, but it is not as powerful as the Slan Theocracy.

For many years, it has been plagued by many demi-human races in the eastern hilly area, relying on the towering and stretching city walls to keep this demi-human race out.

This situation changed not long ago. A demon named Jaldabaoth suddenly descended on the tribe of the demihumans. With iron blood and violence, he unified the demihumans that had been in a state of division. The offensive completely destroyed the northern defense line of the Holy Kingdom.

However, the matter is not over yet.

The Demon Emperor, known as Jaldabaoth, even summoned countless terrifying flying demons, drove straight to break through the most elite defense line of the Holy Kingdom, and after massacring a large number of troops and priests, he captured the Holy Kingdom's Holy Queen Calca grown ups.

The most shining treasure of the Holy Kingdom--Lord Calca has fallen into the enemy's hands, and the northern

The battle front was even more rotten, and the remaining paladins and priests fled in embarrassment, allowing the demihuman army to invade their homes and ravage the people of the Holy Kingdom.

But when the survivors rushed to the neighboring kingdom for rescue, what they got was the news of the kingdom's defeat. The 50 army seemed to have suffered heavy losses.

With the remaining power, even if they spend a lot of money to recruit adventurers and workers, as well as those troops with different intentions in the south, such a temporary army has little chance of winning against the huge demihuman army.

What's more, there is the Demon Emperor who has invincible power and slaughtered most of the Holy Knights and Priests by himself. It is an existence that makes people feel extremely desperate and terrifying when they recall it.

"...Therefore, please be sure to lend us your power, no matter what the price is, please be sure to save the Holy Kingdom!"

At the same time that Remedios lowered her head, the paladins and priests said "Please!" and lowered their heads.

In the silent room, Lana's voice spread.

"Keep your head up, please. And then—I'm so sorry, but we can't go to Holy King. Kingdom."

"Is that so..." Although she had anticipated this, Remedios still felt desperate for this answer from His Highness. She would never forget the girl who was coerced by the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth and brandished as a weapon. His holy form was so broken into rotting flesh.

"Why?!" Hand Tang grabbed it violently, and asked sternly.

"After Jaldabaoth captured the Holy Kingdom, he couldn't just stop there! He will definitely accumulate strength in the Holy Kingdom, and then attack the kingdom! If he doesn't defeat that guy now, he will become even stronger in the future!"

"You are right, the possibility is very high!"

"Then why?! Jaldabaoth is also an enemy of the kingdom! He caused a lot of damage to the capital. Why don't we unite, the nobles of this country, and the nobles of our country too! I don't understand it at all! Isn't it right now? Combine strength! Time to fight together!"

There was a wry smile on the corner of Lana's mouth. After the father, the king, became ill after returning home, the eldest prince died on the battlefield, and the second prince voluntarily backed down. Unspeakable secret.

"...The reason why the nobles of this country don't lend you their power is slightly different from ours. On the battlefield of Kaz Plain, the kingdom lost a lot of military strength, and it is already difficult to form a coalition to support your country."

"Damn it!" Although I heard that the Kingdom suffered heavy losses in that battle, but from Lana's own admission, the information should be correct.

"Could it be that the foreign army is allowed to plunder that land!" This kind of cognition made Remedios feel a tearing pain in her heart.

"If you need help, you can go to Satogong Kuang in the north ahead." At this time, Lana on the stage said suddenly.

"Sato..." Everyone in the Holy Kingdom had heard of this name. He was the biggest winner on the Kaz Plain. He tore a large piece of land from the kingdom's territory in one fell swoop, and successfully established a new country with political power.

"If it's that man, I will definitely give you the hope you want." The golden princess suggested that she didn't seem to hate what the other party had done.

"During the incident in the royal capital, this lord was also the one who repelled the demon named 'Jaldabaoth'."
