Heart of Empire Chapter 64: Go to sea

Comilla Island, the underground entrance next to a freshwater lake on the northeast coast, Sako and Golobo are talking about something bored.

"Hey, Sacco, have you heard? The boss pulled two boxes of those dark stone chips we snatched down there last time and brought them to the mainland, and sold them for two thousand gold coins!"

Sacco nodded, and said: "Of course I heard that Milton came to report the letter. But, don't you feel relieved when the boss does things? We will guard here. When we go back, we will definitely have gold coins." points."

"I'm not worried about that." Golobo scratched his greasy head that hadn't been washed for many days, and said, "Boss has never lost money to us, unlike old Bynes. That bastard. What I want to talk about is not this matter, I want to say, why are those black stone chips so valuable?"

"I heard that Black Crystal is a magical mineral, but I don't know what it is." Sacco said, "How many people can figure out those mysterious things?"

Golobo became concerned: "Say, there are plenty of those black crystals underground. Last time we went down, we encountered more than one convoy of faceless monsters. Tell me, those black crystals Jing is so valuable, why don't we go down and get two votes?"

"Not good?" Sacco said, "Boss said, we can just stay at the entrance of the cave. It's not like you haven't seen it, but there is a whole huge dungeon below! Just the three of us Throw melons and jujubes down, if they are found, it is estimated that none of them will come back alive."

"Oh, I said, why are you so cowardly!" Golobo said a little unhappy, "It's not like we did this kind of thing once or twice, and we have a lot of experience. As long as there are twenty or thirty people , Go down below, find some small-scale transport teams, lay an ambush or something, kill all the monsters you see, without anyone noticing, isn't it over? Then go down once and grab one The small transportation team can earn tens of thousands of gold coins, are you not tempted?"

It is a lie for Sacco to say that he is not tempted. Everyone came out to be mercenaries, isn't it just for money? Under normal circumstances, where would there be a chance to encounter a job worth tens of thousands of gold coins?

However, relatively speaking, Shaco, who was once a knight, is much more stable than the always reckless Golobo. I just heard him say: "These things, the boss has said it. Without the boss's order, you can't act rashly. If something happens, who can take the responsibility?"

Golobo said: "Hey, you are timid! Don't always bring the boss out to talk about things! If we can do a good job, the boss will only praise us. You are afraid of wolves and tigers. How to get rich?"

Sacco frowned: "You bastard, you don't even listen to the orders of the boss now? The boss told us to guard here, so we have to guard here! Don't think of any crooked ideas, I will It's the main thing here, if you want to take action, you must get my consent!"

"Okay...that's boring..." Golobo said helplessly.

……

Dane didn't know about the conversation at the entrance of the cave, otherwise he would have realized that Golobo, that brainless guy, was definitely going to make trouble again. He is now riding the wind and waves at sea.

There are a total of twelve boxes of new batches of black crystals. This is goods worth tens of thousands of gold coins. Dane decided that he would not dare to borrow the hands of others. He had to go there himself to be at ease. Moreover, apart from running the business, Dane's trip has another important purpose, which is to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with the caravans on the mainland.

Dane won't just sell Sombra just once. When he knew that there were abundant reserves of magic minerals in the underground of Comilla Island, it was destined that he would not let go of such a large vault. The development of the territory has a huge demand for funds. If the money does not come from the ground, where else can it come from?

Of course, the dungeon controlled by the Faceless Men is a huge obstacle that Dane must overcome in order to bring the underground world under his control in the future, but this will definitely not stop Dane's determination. In the future, after his own power develops, the first thing he will do is to completely wipe out those faceless people. Not to mention the black crystal veins that must exist, even the heads of those faceless people, thrown into the temple as sacrificial offerings, are very valuable things.

In the future, when he will control more black crystal production, it would be a good thing to plan ahead and establish a relatively stable cooperative relationship with a reliable caravan. Goodell is a good choice. This halfling businessman is very shrewd and believes that he has enough ability in trade to maximize the profits brought by Sombra. Moreover, his own power is not very strong, so he is not afraid of being bullied by the shopkeeper, but if something happens, Dane will naturally support him. At the same time, behind Goodell is the Shire United Chamber of Commerce. A huge business organization can never suffer too much loss.

Besides selling Sombra, establishing a relatively good relationship with Goodell and the Shire Federation behind him has other meanings.

Here I have to mention the place Shire, which is a subcontinent. The so-called sub-continent is of course not as huge as the Orodik continent, that is, the so-called main continent, but since the word 'mainland' is crowned ~IndoMTL.com~, it is by no means comparable to ordinary small islands.

On the Shire Continent, there are not many humans. There are two main races, halflings and gnomes. These two small races were originally residents of the mainland thousands of years ago. However, due to the inferiority of the race itself, they are the fastest group to lose in the race for hegemony. Unlike today's humans, who have become the kings of the core regions of the world; nor are they like orcs, who can dominate the vast eastern wasteland; they are not even as good as the elves, dwarves, and barbarians who control forests, mountains, and plateaus. At least they Not driven out from the main continent.

But the two races have their own advantages. Halflings love delicious food, love to enjoy themselves, but are hardworking. They are famous in business. The gnomes, on the other hand, have developed a completely different route from other races in the thousands of years after the settlement of the Shire continent. Although they don't have outstanding magic talents, and it is difficult to produce powerful fighters, among their ethnic group, the profession of alchemist is quite outstanding. Based on alchemists, Potion Science and Magic Mechanics developed are not weaker than some magician organizations at all, and even stronger!

Two short races, plus some elves who settled in Shire, such a place facing Orodik across the sea, became a paradise.
