Advent of the Archmage Chapter 225: Is the tank going? (4/4)
The news that a giant anti-magic clay mine was found in Field Wilderness can't be concealed. It will be thrown into a small pond like a boulder, and the ripples will pass quickly in all directions.
For ordinary lords, if you have such a large amount of wealth, you will definitely be stunned, and you will not be able to find North.
But Link was surprised.
In his eyes, gold coins are just a tool, and building a city of magic, gathering a force sufficient to protect itself, or even to reverse the situation, is his ultimate goal.
He analyzed the situation soberly, and then, on the day he found the anti-magic clay mine, he packed up and rode on the howling Devil Dorath and hurried to the hot spring city of Norton Kingdom.
The benefits of the clay ore are too great. He cannot eat it alone, and it is very likely that he will be killed by himself. In the end, he will get nothing.
If you don't say anything, King Lane will definitely find various reasons to ask for profit, because the kingdom is fighting the dark elves, and the military expenditure is very large. If Link is not doing it, even if he is a master of magic, the consequences will not be better there. .
Take a step back and say that even if he can keep this wealth, then he will become infamous, and the notorie of miser, miser, etc. will fly to him.
Who will follow him after that?
After this series of considerations, Link took the initiative to attack, and before the news spread, he went to the capital.
Doras is a high-level Warcraft and naturally cannot enter Hot Springs.
When he arrived at the Gwinter Forest outside the capital, Link made Doras stop: "You can play here, don't go too far, I guess I will stay in the city for a few days."
"Of course that's okay." Doras was happily broken. To his knowledge, the Gwente Forest also has Tigers. Although it is not a screaming wind, it doesn't matter. The gap is not large, hehe.
This guy is leaving joyfully.
Linke put on a cloak and walked to the hot spring city alone.
When outside the gate of Hot Springs City, Link saw a conspicuous recruitment notice posted on the bulletin board at the gate of the city. Before the announcement, a large group of people were surrounded. The accents of these people can be heard. Are outsiders.
Linke stopped to listen to them.
"I heard that Wang **** played a lot of victories, and many civilians were blocked by the knights."
"Isn't it? I'm next to the village. I was riding a high-headed horse last time when I returned to my hometown. The armor of that body was awkward, almost blinding my eyes."
"The king is generous. In January, it is 2 gold coins, killing a dark elf is 5 gold coins, this sale is done!"
After listening for more than ten minutes, Link felt a little bit thrilled. He found that all the civilians knew was superficial news, all of which were deliberately packed, which was especially good news for people.
As for the killing of 20,000 people in the North World War I, the stalemate and bloodless news, Link didn't hear any news.
Wang **** also uses high amounts of silver to attract people. 2 gold coins a month, 24 a year, and the king ’s army has at least 100,000. That ’s 200,000 gold coins in this aspect of the moonlight. Add to that the cost of food, equipment, death benefits, and so on.
Linke was horrified. He continued to walk into the city, and various voices heard in his ears.
"Have you heard? Those dark elven hybrids dare to resist? They don't know how to die!"
"Don't worry! The Duke of Iron will definitely bring us victory, just like before. The dark elves are just dying."
"Did you hear? Dark Elf slaves will be shipped back in a few days, and I heard that those dark elves have white and jade-like skins, alas."
"Did you hear that ..."
Along the way, they all have similar voices, optimistic to almost arrogant, confident to almost stupid, without considering the possibility of failure at all.
Linker finally understood Elite's concerns. His friend felt right, and the whole country was in a frenzy.
Linke seems to see a high-speed chariot, but there is no road ahead.
He was shocked. When he walked along the avenue all the way to the gate of the palace, he felt that his back was cold, and he reached out his hand, all sweating.
This is not because he is timid, but because he is too awake. Because he is awake, he can see the horrible future.
Lin Ke walked forward with a stun, and suddenly heard the sound of 啷 Dang 啷, looked up, but walked to the gate of the palace, and the guard's crossed spear blocked the way.
"The palace is forbidden, you must not break in!" The guard frowned at Link.
Lin Carla's hood shows the fiery red halo of the flame-controller's robe, holding on to the authentic: "I'm the magician Link, and I want to see your Majesty."
Linke ’s appearance is too bluffing. Link ’s name is also very loud in the Kingdom Guards. The guard immediately saluted Link and said, “Master, wait a minute, I will report it now!”
Speaking, the guard hurried towards the palace.
Ten minutes later, the man ran back again, followed by a kingdom knight dressed up by Yulin Tiewei. When the man stepped forward and saw Link, he was also surprised, saluting: "I am Olafu, the general manager of the Imperial Guard, master, you come with me, Your Majesty is waiting for you. "
The higher the kingdom is, the more famous Link will become. There is no way. A master magician who can control level 9 magic will feel shaken when he hears it, let alone see a real person.
Linke nodded and followed behind Olafor and walked deep into the palace.
The royal palace Link has been here once before, this time, he has been moving along the familiar road, and soon reached the parliament hall where he was.
There are two people in the hall, one is King Lane, and the other is the court magician Grint.
In a few months, Link finds out that King Lane has a lot of white hair on his face, and his forehead is tightly wrinkled. The whole person exudes an extremely tired breath.
Glint is a little better off next to him, but his frown is also tight.
Linke's heart snapped: ‘It seems that the situation in the north is worse than what Elette said. ’
"Your Majesty, Master Grint." He stepped forward and bowed slightly. He was also a master of magic, and he did not need to salute.
King Ryan and Grint nodded in return, Ryan waved his fingers at one of the servants, and then the servants moved a chair behind Lelink.
When Link was seated, Lane smiled slightly on his face: "Master Link, I heard that you have been busy taking care of the territory. Why are you here today?"
Linke smiled slightly: "I came because of the territory."
As he said this, Ryan frowned slightly: "Why, what's wrong with the territory? Is it out of funds?"
If it was before, Ryan was absolutely willing to support it, but now the situation does not allow him to do so. The situation in the north is fierce and the kingdom's finances are empty. He simply cannot afford any spare money to support Link.
In fact, he is now having headaches for the next month's military spending.
Linke noticed the change in Lane. He was not surprised at all. The war fought money. The northern battlefield has been going on for nearly half a year. Every minute and every second is burning money. The kingdom must still be financially sufficient That was the ghost.
Take out a sample of clay from the space pendant. Link gives the copy to the attendant on the side, and then he says, "Sir, these are anti-magic clay, found in my territory. Big. "
"Huh?" Ryan jumped in spirit, his original slightly bowed back suddenly stopped a lot: "What did you say? Your territory found anti-magic clay? Still a lot?"
At this time, the attendant had already presented the clay to Ryan, and Ryan glanced at him. He could not see any doorway, and he asked the attendant to give Grinthe aside.
Grint took a closer look and confirmed: "Your Majesty, it is indeed a good anti-magic clay. At present, 10 gold coins can be sold for one ton."
Lyan's eyes flickered sharply. He looked at Link, and eagerly asked, "Master Link, did you say that you have a large stock?"
"Yes, there are currently an estimated 70 million tons." Link answered seriously.
"His ~" Ryan and Grint both took a breath and were frightened by this number. What is the concept of 10 ton of gold coins and 70 million tons? Of course, value cannot be calculated in such a simple way, but it is indeed a huge wealth.
But the problem followed, because the field wilderness already belongs to Link, this is Link ’s land, and everything found on the land belongs to Link, judging from legal principles, this has nothing to do with the kingdom. .
Lyan felt a headache. He knew that such a treasure was hidden in the wilderness. He would never appreciate it at first. Now, it is useless to regret it.
Grint still has a clearer mind, he asked, "Master Link, are you here this time?"
Linke took out the prepared documents and handed them to King Lane, saying, "Sir, this is a great wealth, and the kingdom now needs a huge amount of war supplies. This is a transfer agreement. , I am willing to transfer 60% of all the proceeds from this clay mine to the Kingdom as my support for the Kingdom. "
If it is in peacetime, Link will only transfer 20%, and may even be a miser.
If it is a normal war, Link will transfer 40%. But after experiencing future illusions, he knows that this is a battle of light and darkness.
So, Lin Ke handed over 60%. He hoped that the money would allow Wang **** to hold the northern front, at least not to collapse too quickly.
King Ryan was shocked immediately, his eyes flashed with ecstasy, but then he couldn't believe it. How could anyone in this world be so stupid that he would willingly hand over the gold coins in his hands?
60%, the four achievements of 70 million tons of anti-clay clay are more than 40 million tons of clay. With this money, the military expenditures of the Norton Kingdom have risen recently.
Although Link took out the paperwork and stamped his baron stamp on it, Ryan couldn't believe it. He said, "Master, are you ... a little more? "
Although if Link does n’t give it, he will still use various names, such as taxation methods, to pick up a large amount of income from Link ’s hands, but now the other party is so simple, he In addition to feeling unbelievable, I felt a little embarrassed.
It's not a feeling to give and ask for it.
The other party will give 60% as soon as they give it ..... In fact, his highest expectation is 40%, because this is the realm of Link.
Linke earnestly said: "His Majesty, I have experienced the Greenstone incident. I know that in the eyes of the dark elves, the human race is weed. The war in the north is about the fate of my people and cannot allow failure. My strength It ’s limited, and there is not much practical support that can be given, but now that I have this clay mine, I naturally have to do my part.
Linke ’s words are sincere. It ’s true to take the initiative to transfer a fortune for stable development. The two are not contradictory at all. In Link ’s hands, they are perfectly combined together. .
Ryan was moved, he really moved!
The icing on the cake makes people happy, but not memorable.
Linke is a real gift in the snow. At this time, the kingdom is in a financial crisis. The North has also recently lost a battle. The situation is precarious. As a result, Link gave him such a great gift.
With this large amount of money, he can buy supplies from the southern countries, seek assistance from Chenxi Island, and even hire troops of various ethnic groups to join the battlefield.
With this large sum of money, he has the confidence to continue this war!
Standing up from the throne, Ryan felt that his eyes were a little moist. He didn't know how many years he hadn't felt this way, but today, for the first time, he genuinely said: "Master Link, Kingdom ... .I ... "
His voice was a little choked, and he could hardly speak.
Linke saw Ryan's feelings, and he said, "Your Majesty, the paperwork is the voucher, and the first profit will soon be generated. I am busy with territorial affairs, so I do n’t have to stay any longer. Withdraw." >
Speaking, before Rindo said, Link stood up and was ready to leave the parliamentary hall.
Ryan paused, seeing Link was about to leave the hall, he suddenly said, "Master Link, wait!"
"Is there anything else?" Link asked.
Ryan and Grint looked at each other, Grint nodded slightly, Ryan said, "There are some accidents on the northern battlefield, I think you need to know about this."
"Oh?" Lin Ke frowned. He knew that this huge transfer of interests had brought him into the core of the Norton Kingdom. (To be continued.)
