Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 79: Being stunned by a big dog with money (6400)

Looking at the Baisen Mountains from the edge of the Great Onyx Plain, the first thing you see is the endless forest.

The dark green forest extends all the way to the end of the sky, the dense sea of ​​trees is behind the towering mountains, and the sea of ​​white clouds hovers around the ridgeline, casting vast cloud shadows on the land.

The sun shines through the gaps in the clouds, a mighty convoy walking under the mottled light and shadow, and the newly repaired asphalt road is smooth and wide, which amazes the businessmen who come here.

Asphalt roads are not a rare thing, but they usually only appear around big cities to serve civilian alchemy vehicles.

In a remote and newly developed area like the mountains, there are nobles who are willing to invest in this area, which really surprises everyone. They can't help but look forward to the next journey and meeting.

Passing through the evergreen forest and golden leaf forest, and then crossing a small river and hills in the forest, you can see the sea of ​​flowers around Xiahui City from a distance. the color of

Smear on the ground to form a magnificent picture.

"Huh?"

A scholar with a foreign accent, who should be from the capital of learning, asked doubtfully: "It's not that Nanling encountered biological warfare in the Flame Land, and almost all the crops withered and rotted. Is everything ok?"

"Mr. Colin, don't you know that?"

Another well-informed foreign businessman laughed: "Some time ago, under the leadership of their lord, the alchemists led by Xiahui developed a brand-new 'rich nutrient culture solution', specifically for Xiahui. It was designed for Huicao... and the damage to Xiahui was not serious, so it quickly recovered."

The businessman with the accent of the Seven Cities Alliance looked at the city surrounded by the sea of ​​flowers in the distance, his eyes were burning: "I came here this time, just for it."

"At first I was wondering if Platinum Workshop would make exaggerated publicity for the sake of sales--now it seems that what I said is true."

This is a small episode. The convoy continued to approach Xiahuiling. Before entering the city, they saw a brand new building being built on the flat land outside Huahai. Next to the high tower, there are three rather crude, not yet fully carved knight statues bowing their heads to the high tower.

There are still many mountain people praying around their 'Victory Tower.

Looks like the rumors, the genius lord of Xiahui created a brand-new alchemy defense tower after returning from the imperial capital, and even with the full support of the mountain people, he used it to defeat a team of constructed knights. I have won the reputation of 'the prophet of thunderstorm'.

At the beginning, the businessman from the City of Knowledge narrowed his eyes, his pupils swiveled slightly, and he looked at the details of the defensive tower.

As a landmark building, the Tower of Victory is not a simple magnetic storm coil. It has a silver metal appearance and a light blue electromagnetic crystal layer inside as the main structure. , Simple and solemn, it is no wonder that there are mountain people praying to it, because it is the best embodiment of technology, power and authority of the dragon **** messenger.

After confirming that this is indeed the technology he wanted, the businessman named Kaolin nodded slightly, with a more amiable expression: "It's not in vain for me to come to such a Zhao."

Foreign businessmen who are willing to travel thousands of miles, or even cross mountains and mountains to come to Nanling, must have their own goals.

They either obtained information and guarantees from reliable partners, or keenly obtained the information they wanted from news rumors, so they made a judgment immediately.

Of course, there are indeed some guys who simply hold "gambling, or "seeing the world."

But in any case, those who are willing to accompany Viscount Timor Dikas to the Xiahui Territory at the first time, the sincerity of their cooperation can definitely be said to be the greatest.

As for the Xiahui leader, they naturally gave the most sincere feedback to this sincerity.

As soon as the convoy arrived at the edge of the city, the welcoming team was ready.

An elite squad of magnetic storm armor and two squadrons of guard knights stand on both sides of the road, the flags of the Four Kingdoms of Setar Empire, Seven Cities Alliance, Capital of Knowledge and Canaan Moore

Flying.

Not only the businessman, but even Viscount Dikas was slightly moved--although this magnetic storm armored team and guard knights still have many deficiencies according to the strictest standards, they are definitely worthy of God**** The active duty level of the * Regiment is only inferior to those first-line troops and elites who have been fighting for a long time.

Especially the equipment. Before seeing the real thing, Viscount Ducasse thought that the so-called magnetic storm armor was just a thunder armor with an alchemy furnace forcibly mounted on it. The exoskeleton armor is highly practical to the naked eye.

In addition, although the guard knights looked like ordinary city defense troops, Viscount Dikas keenly noticed that these soldiers were quite 'rich'.

Each guard knight is equipped with a regular firearm, while the squad leader will have an alchemy firearm. They are fully armored and have plenty of ammunition. Apart from a few grenades, they even have a 'medication belt' around their waists.

Viscount Dikas doesn't think that Ian will wear this waist belt for the knight today just to decorate the appearance. It seems that in the Xiahui collar, maybe every guard knight has the support of alchemy potion, no accident If so, there is a high probability that those potions are the highly effective healing potions that Ian showed in the imperial capital.

"I didn't expect that I didn't lie here, and Ian led the team to seize the weapons and equipment of the entire mountain army. Moreover, the spirit of the army that has just won a battle is really different.”

The businessmen in the convoy did not have the keen observation ability of Viscount Dikas, and their entire minds were shocked by the welcome song played at the end of the road and the huge armor that appeared in the welcome song.

It was a black machine with heavy armor with a peculiar prism muzzle on its shoulders. Its red eye locked on the entire convoy. For a while, some sensitive businessmen even turned their heads subconsciously, not daring to look directly at this gaze. .

At the edge of the city, many citizens have already gathered here. They were already very excited when they saw the appearance of the magnetic storm troop. Reach the climax and let out a cheer.

Recently, the lord has been working in his mansion and the alchemy park, and rarely appears. Today is the first time Ian has appeared in the past half a month. Both the mountain people and the residents of Xiahui City Longing to see him.

"Citizens, be careful not to approach, stay quietly and within a safe range."

The white-haired lord came out of the cockpit. Standing on his armored shoulders, he smiled and waved to the enthusiastic crowd, which caused another wave of cheers, which made many businessmen in the convoy feel a little confused for a while. I wonder if what I have come to is the welcome scene to welcome them, or a meeting between some sect leaders and believers.

Oh, it really is. That's fine.

The businessman with a better eye could understand Ian's appearance more clearly - although rumors say that the appearance of this Xiahui lord is almost comparable to the aurora in the far northern sky, which is quiet and gorgeous The beauty of it, now it seems, is not an exaggeration at all.

With both strength and appearance, he brought peace and wealth, so it is no wonder that he is loved and even fanatically worshiped by the people.

"Everyone, it's been hard work coming from afar."

During the welcome song, Ian got off his armor and shook hands with all the businessmen who got off the car. These people are all the heads of the empire of the multinational chamber of commerce, and each of them is a sublimator, regardless of their status , theoretically higher than him, a country nobleman.

But the businessmen who were shaken hands were all flattered. They never thought that they would receive such a grand welcome in Nanling, and this young lord was not as eccentric as other young geniuses with various eccentricities. Quite approachable and approachable, it makes people feel close to each other subconsciously.

"I have long admired your name, Baron Silver Peak."

"Meet you for the first time, Viscount Ducasse."

Viscount Ducasse was the last one to shake hands with Ian. This is a tradition and a personal habit. He has been observing Ian's every move just now, and found that the other party did not make any mistakes.

Not only the name and origin of each merchant

Clearly, his pronunciation of the common language can even be switched freely according to the nationality of each person, without any dullness or jerkyness.

Although it was he who shook hands, those merchants were led by Ian's aura one by one, and they were led by other knights to the Lord's Mansion in the city center before they had time to test and talk, where they were ready to come from afar The banquet where the guests received the wind and dust, everything was well organized and well prepared.

Holding the core of the whole scene, it is almost like a king, and everyone acts according to his will.

Among the people who visited Xiahuiling this time, there are a total of five real core figures.

From the Seven Cities Alliance, the thin green chamber of commerce known for its alchemy potions and sublimation plants, the messenger, Mr. Dormer.

From the capital of learning, the representative of the 'Molten Iron Spire, who specializes in the development of alchemy weapons and new energy sources, is a Bachelor of Colin University.

From Firestone Group, the head of the Professional Arms Group, and Ian's old sponsor, Colonel Marius.

The goblin from Letu Township, Ms. Botai (this lady didn't write which department she was from in Letu Township, she didn't even write her last name, Ian didn't have the nerve to ask if she forgot).

And the last and most core, the member of the Imperial Noble Hall, the envoy of the eldest prince Carlos Setar, Viscount Timor Ducasse.

During the journey to the Lord's Mansion, everyone was quite shocked by the urban area of ​​Xiahui City-because of the civil war among the mountain people, many streets were severely damaged, and the renovated urban area was demolished There are fewer old buildings and the streets have been expanded, so it looks unexpectedly wide and tidy.

At the intersection, under the guidance and care of the guarding knights, the rookie convoy was in order, not only was there no chaos common in other frontier cities, even a little homeless and beggar could not be seen.

A businessman asked this question, and the accompanying staff answered very simply: "The disabled are sent to the orphanage to take care of them, weave some baskets every day, pack the goods, and do some handicrafts. /

There are special people who take exercise to eat and rest their bodies. "

"As for those who are not disabled... Hey, they can't finish the work in the city, let alone open up wasteland outside the city. Where is it their turn? Money?"

The banquet itself is also full of surprises: due to the food disaster, even such a welcome banquet cannot be called a sumptuous one, but all the dishes are very delicate, especially a kind of Xiahui grass panna cotta, which uses the best Bison giant beef Milk is mixed with smoked Xiahui flower powder. It tastes elegant and sweet. When it is contained in the mouth, you can also feel a faint floral fragrance, which is welcomed by everyone present.

"Welcome everyone to Xiahuiling."

Ian doesn't usually drink alcohol, but this time the wine is a bit special. It is the 'Skill Wine' developed by Isengard. Some time ago, Isengard improved a brand new style of 'Skill Wine'. After all, such things as stamina potion and concentration potion, even a small cup is enough for a sublimator, and more than enough is not enough, so it is considered as 'Skill Wine' The taste is quite good, but it is not enjoyable to drink.

Considering this, Isengard used Ian's 'reuse technique' to reduce the effective sublimation content in the potion, which in turn created a product that deteriorated in effect but greatly improved in taste. The cost is reduced to about one-twentieth of the original 'second-generation wine'.

Ian obtained a new alchemy formula and production rights from Isengard, and planned to use Xiahuiling's high-quality origin advantages to produce a blockbuster product in terms of alcoholic beverages. One place can't make money all by relying on it Military industry and alchemy potions, right? Having everything is healthy.

The taste of the art wine is indeed excellent, not to mention ordinary businessmen, even the Bachelor Colin and Viscount Dukas, who are the capital of learning, are slightly brightened. They are often exposed to alchemy potions, so naturally they are very aware of this The benefits of alcohol, it will not affect the concentration of the alchemist, but can improve it, but it does not want to burden the body like real alchemy potions, as long as you drink slowly, this improvement will last for a long time.

Of course, in this way, the burden of detoxification of the body's liver becomes the burden of the stomach and bladder. How to choose depends on personal choice.

Another surprise.

Along the way, the merchants who have received many surprises are very happy

Very happy, and during the banquet, Mr. Dormer of the Thin Green Chamber of Commerce, as a representative of the merchant chambers of the Seven Cities Alliance, first approached Ian to communicate.

"This time we were just here to investigate."

The tall but gentle red-haired businessman smiled and clinked glasses with Ian, his eyes brightened: "But now it seems that if you don't make a decision right away, you will be one step behind others, so if Baron you If allowed, we would like to cooperate as soon as possible, as well as the follow-up visit process."

"No problem." Ian called Scott: "This is my deputy, he will lead you to visit the project you want to know."

Even before the Chamber of Commerce arrived, Ian already knew their purpose: Behind the Thin Green Chamber of Commerce, there were several goblin mentor backgrounds. The reason why they brought other small chambers of commerce to Xiahui was precisely because of The reason why a group of goblins were rescued in Azure City.

Of course, there are only favors, no benefits, and you won't get much real help. Fortunately, Ian's strength is indeed strong, and Ian has plenty of projects that they are interested in.

In the beginning, what they fancy was the 'high-energy crop culture fluid' developed by Adelbert and Amber, a new type of fertilizer that is effective for most sublimation plants, although the Seven Cities Alliance also has similar ones. technology, but precisely because it exists, it is necessary to learn by analogy and cooperate.

However, during the introduction along the way, Dormer also became interested in the 'Shujiu' led by Xiahui and the 'Xiahuicao extract. He wanted to know how much could be produced if the cooperation really started.

"The most important thing is stability, my lord."

The guild leader said, "Although we know you repelled the Pyrethia hordes - pardon the swear words, Pyrethias deserved it - but they came like stink beetles in the gutter It goes on and on, if they have another food disaster, the Xiahui leader will definitely be hit hard again."

"It's not really true."

At this moment, the banquet was almost over, and Ian noticed that everyone was very enthusiastic, so he simply took people to Xiahui Lake to visit the'three-dimensional hydroponic farm.

In a few days, the exterior of the hydroponic farm building, which originally had only one skeleton, has looked decent, and the nearly 100-meter-high building can indeed accommodate many people.

Ian took several interested caravan representatives into the building, visited the hydroponic racks inside, and let them see the vegetable petri dishes that have sprouted: "This is the whole

New planting method - move the plantation into the building, artificially control the feng shui light, maintain the most suitable temperature and humidity, and harvest once a month. "

"The growth of sublimation plants will be slower, but compared with the wild environment, this kind of indoor cultivation is safer and more reasonable and scientific. After calculation and verification, the Xiahui grass that was originally ripened every one to two years, in a special plant With the help of the culture medium, it can be accelerated to about half a year for ripening."

"In addition, the farm building is managed in a closed manner, and every ten cultivation racks have separate compartments. Even if spies mix in and poison, it takes more than a dozen poisonings to contaminate one floor, and a whole building Lou...it would be more convenient for him to call the powerhouse of the third energy level to attack physical damage."

Ian brought the representatives of the chamber of commerce to the top floor of the training building. They looked down at the bases of the eleven surrounding farm buildings, and introduced them with a smile under their shocked eyes: "This is the first batch of farm buildings. There are ten farm buildings in total. The second building. After waiting for the funds to return, I will build another twelve buildings in Chaohe. In this way, the raw materials of Xiahui Ling will be abundant, so there is absolutely no need to worry.”

"Even if it is the third energy level..."

Ian raised his hand and slightly pointed in the direction of Guyan Peak.

A faint dragon shadow is flickering around the clouds, as if playing with invisible things and entertaining itself.

Xio, who is learning how to fly and rebuild without mechanical prosthetics, obviously shocked all the businessmen present, and the young man smiled and said: "There is our greatest guardian dragon, the heir of the mountain prince, Siomeriska If you are present, even if you are a third-level Construct Knight, you must never threaten the production safety of our Xiahui leader!"

The three-dimensional hydroponic farm, the protection of the real dragon, the brand-new planting technique and the incomparably deep background, make the original in an instant

The businessman who valued Ian a lot, valued Ian even more.

Scott took Dormer and his party to the sea of ​​flowers to see the effect of the high-energy crop culture solution, and the scholar Colin of the capital of knowledge temporarily resigned, saying that he wanted to visit Xiou.

Ian is not surprised at this - because the recommender of the chamber of commerce in the capital of learning is the king of the hill.

The tower owner of this generation of Molten Iron Spire has an unknown teacher, Chi's name is Scarlet Seymour, as the name suggests, he is a real dragon. This fourth-generation true dragon walked on the earth with a human body, and finally chose to settle in the capital of learning, becoming a well-known free teacher. He has many apprentices. It was the most famous one.

The coincidence is that the relationship between the king of the mountain and the great mentor Sika is quite good. They are comrades-in-arms, good brothers and best friends many years ago. Greetings to Xiou are also to celebrate the recovery of this friend's heir.

It sounds like every caravan that comes to Xiahui has a relationship behind it.

But that's right!

If Ian didn't want to manage interpersonal relationships and rely on his ability to get sponsorship, he would have gone to transform into a swarm of insects and grow alone on the bottom of the sea (and then be blown up). What territory to farm?

It is to rely on relationships to accelerate development as much as possible. When the swarm is still squeezing the mud, use various relationships to attract investment, accelerate technological development, obtain resources from all over the world, and get as comprehensive as possible without sequelae. Assistance, in this way, can achieve Ian's goal as quickly as possible.

After the two representatives of the big foreign chambers of commerce left for the time being, the rest were all their own people.

"You're busy first" I'll go play with Hua An before coming over"

Ms. Thin Moss, this goblin with long dark green to light blue gradient hair and a pair of round-frame glasses greeted Ian lazily, and then sprayed with her mushroom-like wings, Flying in the direction of Port Harrison at supersonic speed, Ian couldn't help feeling that this is the mobility of a goblin.

After all, it is a supersonic race per capita. The distance between Xiahuiling and Harrison Harbor is almost like a walk after eating for them.

"Besides, the fairies' wings were made by themselves, right? There are mushroom styles? When will we see normal butterfly-winged fairies..."

Shaking his head slightly, Ian looked at Colonel Maris.

"Baron Yinfeng, the group is very satisfied with your research and results."

The Flint Group representative with short blond hair and military attire showed a standard eight-toothed smile to Ian: "We're not going to lie, the group also knows why you invited us to come - let's do further research, How much time will it take? The cost is negotiable."

OK!

As soon as his eyes lit up, Ian liked this kind of military style, which was neat, simple and direct.

As for the time, he thought about it and raised two fingers: "It will be completed within two years!"

Colonel Maris was slightly taken aback, his brows were slightly frowned: "Two years? Um..."

He shook his head: "Time is a bit slow, baron. The battlefield in the western region is changing rapidly, and two years is too long. We need to install more new alchemy plating agents as soon as possible. Can you speed up?"

"Impossible." Ian shook his head: "For the plating of each alchemy potion, the adaptability of the armor and the compatibility of related systems need to be considered. It takes two years to develop a coating agent suitable for most of the armor of the empire..."

"The Baron."

But Colonel Maris interrupted Ian's words. The man who had seen too many scientific research alchemists didn't say anything else. He just raised one hand skillfully and raised two fingers: " How much can this number be accelerated?"

"Twenty thousand talers?"

Ian was stunned for a moment, and he hesitated for a moment: "To be honest, this is a purely technical problem, and it is impossible to simply increase research funding..."

"Two hundred thousand talers."

Colonel Maris said with emphasis: "How much faster?"

At this moment, Ian's heart stopped for a beat.

It is a kind of happiness called 'being knocked out with money.

————What kind of big dog, the arms seller is rich!

"Two months."

After a brief silence, Ian said decisively: "Two months later, wait for the results."

"What potion you want, there is any potion!"
