Age of Arcane

Chapter 249

Traces of last night's battle still remained in the chamber, and the walls were covered with gaps and blackened bloodstains.A small square table brought from nowhere was placed in the middle, and old Adrian sat at the other end of the table, and his surrendered leaders stood behind him.

After Luke walked in, old Adrian's blood red eyes had been staring at him.He didn't say a word until Luke sat down across from him.

Luke took a briefcase from Kuaileg, took out a contract from it, pushed it in front of old Adrian and said, "I decided to invest in your alchemy factory! A total of 1.5 million Reichsmarks are used to upgrade the alchemy factory." equipment, better conditions for workers, and a program of collective housing and road improvement.

Sign it and I'll give you a check for 2000 million Reichsmarks immediately.You should urgently need a sum of money to pay for the casualties and win over those who belong to you. "

When Luke said the amount of investment he was going to give, the expressions of those pretending to be vicious leaders and thugs immediately relaxed.

How much is 1.5 million?
They didn't know, they only knew that it was a lot of money, so much that they could completely forget what happened last night.

Boss Neil?

Who is Neil!

In the chamber, everyone was staring at the contract in front of old Adrian, wishing they could grab a pen and sign it.

But old Adrian did not touch the contract.

"I only have three sons, and Sainsbury died here last night. He didn't have to die, and many people didn't have to die." Old Adrian stared at Luke, his tone full of sadness: "Mr. Luke... I would like to know what is the purpose of your coming to downtown?
How many people do I need to kill?How many people do we need to die? "

Luke also stared at old Adrian: "You choose the path, I didn't force you. You can give the first-generation mysterious substance mixture to Neil in exchange for stability, but you chose to take the lead yourself.

Now that you have chosen the path, don't regret it, keep going, and create a new world for future generations. Sainsberg and those who died will not die in vain.

Ed should tell you what I want to do when I come downtown.I didn't intend to start a dispute, but some people just think I'm a bully and want to get something for nothing.If I want to maintain my investment in the downtown area, I need a group of trustworthy people.Neil is a warning to outsiders, but also a test for you.

Sign your name and give your people peace of mind. "

There was a hint of deterrence in Luke's words.

Old Adrian knew that his foundation was extremely unstable. Now that his son and cronies were dead or injured, he did not sign, and some people would sign instead of him.

Since he decided to kill Neil yesterday, he has no choice.

Old Adrian picked up a pen and signed his name on the contract, and Luke took out a check on the spot and gave the first investment money.

Everyone is very happy.

Old Adrian took the check, looked at the string of zeros on it, and the trace of resistance in his heart quickly disintegrated.

Now that you are on this ship, no matter where it is heading, just follow the captain.

"Mr. Luke, the Adrian Alchemy Factory is the most solid pillar for all your actions in the lower city of Saint Lun. Your enemy is our enemy, and your friend is our friend."

"Very good, old Adrian, you are a person who does great things." After Luke praised old Adrian, he said: "You can produce the first generation of mysterious substance mixture by yourself. It's just the one in the sewage tank. The mysterious energy mist has its own circulation system, so don't collect it too much. If you find that the production of the mysterious energy mist has decreased significantly, stop production immediately.

And then... Civil war broke out in the Leo Republic, and the Restoration Army organized by the Watchers urgently needed a group of mercenaries, and the rewards were very high.

I plan to rely on the first-generation mysterious substance mixture to set up a mercenary regiment here to undertake outsourced military missions from the Leo Restoration Army. "

As Baron Jeff of Brilliant Island began to trouble Leo's navy and merchant ships at sea, Pan ordered the Watchers to launch a war of restoration in Leo's mainland.It's just that the strength of the Rio Republic Army is too strong, and the Watcher's Restoration Army can't start the situation when it is suppressed in the mountains, and it is difficult to replenish the source of troops.

Now that Pan has acquired Raging Waves City as a treaty port for the watchers, he has money and has no place to spend it.So, through Viscount Iscorran, who has been secretly keeping in touch with the Watcher, he expressed his desire to spend money to invite mercenaries to enter Leo to fight for the Restoration Army.

Luke didn't want the people of Rage City to get into this muddy water, so he called the attention of the lower part of Saint Lun City.

Here are some people who would risk their lives just to make money.

Just simply exporting cannon fodder, not only makes less money, but also damages the brand.Fortunately, there is a treasure trove of sewage reservoirs in the lower city. The first generation of mysterious substance mixtures can quickly create powerful mercenaries.Send them to Rio to fight, and you can make a steady stream of money for yourself.

The greater benefit is to cultivate a reliable military unit outside the empire.

Old Adrian thought that Mr. Luke's earning point was the first-generation mysterious substance mixture, but he didn't expect the topic to jump directly to the Republic of Leo, which is far overseas.

The span is a bit large.

"Mr. Luke, I can't keep up with your train of thought... You want to send mercenaries to the civil war in the Leo Republic, how much money can you make?"

"I couldn't tell you this kind of business secret, but who made me sincere." Luke said with a smile: "I plan to price the first generation of mysterious substance mixture at 50 Reichsmarks per injection.

People who have no money but want to gain power can sign a ten-year employment agreement with me, and they can be injected into me in advance to become my mercenary.

For mercenaries who are willing to go to Rio to join the war, the watchman offers a daily salary of 2000 Reichsmarks for each elite soldier, and I will take half of it.Listen carefully, it's a daily salary!Lookouts are paid regardless of combat missions. "

Is there such a good thing?

Everyone in the meeting hall silently calculated how much wealth this generous commission would add up to.

If you get 1000 Reichsmarks a day, that's more than 30 a year.If you are lucky enough to live for ten years, it will be more than 300 million.

Although I don't know if the civil war in Leo can be fought for ten years, it is not a problem to fight for three to five years. This is also an extremely considerable income!
The people in the room were so itchy that they wished they could go to Rio to join the war now.

Old Adrian asked rationally: "Mr. Luke, is the watcher really willing to pay so much money? With your commission, the watcher has to pay 70 Reichsmarks a year for an elite soldier, which is not counted." Consumption of equipment and supplies in war."

Luke replied: "The Watchers are in urgent need of troops, so they charge a very high price for elite soldiers. Moreover, the territory they control is small, and the material consumption of raising a group of cannon fodder is not as high as hiring an elite soldier at a high price.

In fact, even if a single mercenary goes to Rio with a full daily salary of 2000 Reichsmarks, it will be difficult to earn in the long run.But with the establishment of the system, coupled with the relationship, the death rate of the mercenaries is not high.After all, if my mercenaries die too quickly, all I'm doing is losing money.

Before my mercenaries go to Leo, they have to undergo strict military training.At the same time, I also provide the most suitable equipment for my mercenaries, and equip them with military doctors and medical supplies.The officers who lead the team have very rich experience in war and will refuse military missions that are not suitable for difficulty. "

Everyone in the room felt very inviting.

In order to make money, Mr. Luke couldn't really use his mercenaries to go to Leo to fight for his life.Desperate in the downtown area is desperate, and going to Rio is also desperate, and there are high rewards.

What's more, you can get a shot of the first-generation mysterious substance mixture for free.In this world, strength is the capital to settle down.

This is a good thing that everyone wins.

Old Adrian immediately said: "Mr. Luke, you have really done a great deed for us in the lower city. I fully support your establishment of a mercenary group here, and I promise to introduce you to a group of people who dare to fight. Kill a good man who has seen blood."

Others were also clamoring, wanting to get a place for their relatives and friends in this mercenary group that has not yet been established.

Seeing that his mercenary group could get such fierce support, Luke said to old Adrian while the iron was hot: "My mercenary group is named 'Polaris', and the first batch recruits a thousand elite mercenaries. Prepare the first-generation mysterious substance mixture needed, and I will give you another 200 places, and you will pick out the qualified mercenaries I want."

"Only 200?"

Old Adrian felt that 200 was a bit small, not even enough for his own gang.

Luke said: "You took 1.5 million from me, and you have the first-generation mysterious substance mixture, so don't be too greedy... and let others have a bite."

Old Adrian blushed when Luke said it.

It is true that I am too greedy.

One thousand injections of the first-generation mysterious substance mixture is an income of 5 million. Even if it is for Mr. Luke, he will still have two to three hundred million in his hands.Coupled with the 1.5 million investment fund just signed, it has already been envied by other parties.

If he continues to covet the quota of mercenaries, Neil's old path will be his path ahead.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Luke. The magnificent future you gave us has made me a little dizzy. I will prepare a thousand injections of the first-generation mysterious substance mixture as soon as possible, and I will also personally select these 200 mercenaries."

"Okay, very good! Today's negotiation went as smoothly as I imagined. You are more suitable for this seat than the dead Neil. If there is nothing else, I will go back."

After everything he wanted to do was done, Luke was ready to leave.

Old Adrian asked at this time: "Mr. Luke, are you planning to go to the other four alchemy factories?
The amount of investment in your hands is already lower than the expectations of the other four alchemy factories. I will send someone to protect you there. "

"No need, I won't go to them, you should get things in order here first. I'm going to Shangcheng to do some business these few days, and you can communicate with the other four alchemy factories for me.

Let them understand the benefits of making money together with He Qi.

When I come back, you are in charge of hosting a banquet, and we will do the rest together. "

Old Adrian stood up and led his men to salute Luke: "Please rest assured, Mr. Luke, we will let everyone in the lower city understand what you mean."

Luke left from Adrian's alchemy factory, and old Adrian took out the check and the signed contract to win over all the former Neil's people under his own hands.And buy weapons everywhere, woo small and medium-sized gangs and powerful small gangs.

Ed worked overtime to create the first generation of mysterious substance mixtures.

Malcolm also sent a group of people, and used his influence to secretly support old Adrian.

As the content of the contract signed by Luke and Old Adrian leaked out, there was only an investment amount of 3 million, which the other four alchemy factories could not bear.They sent people to break into Luke's home in the lower city, and were immediately stopped by people arranged by old Adrian.

The fuse was lit, and the battle broke out.

Once the various emotions suppressed by Luke's 5 million investment were vented, the entire lower part of St. Lun City was involved.

At this time, Luke had already left the lower city with Kuaileg and Daier, away from this chaotic place.

After going through the security check, the Secret Intelligence Bureau forged the documents to allow the vehicle to pass through the checkpoint and enter the upper part of the city of St. Lun.

There are two completely different scenes inside and outside the city wall.

The fast-legged driver finally let go of his vigilance all the way, and asked Luke: "Chief Inspector, do you think old Adrian can win this battle? He is one against four, and the other four alchemy factories They are all powerful.”

"Who knows? The money I gave him, the first-generation mysterious substance mixture, is enough for him to quickly improve his strength." Luke glanced at Dai'er beside him. She had been looking out of the window since she entered the city, feeling very emotional. is low.Luke turned his attention back and continued: "It's the best result for him to win. Even if he loses, I can just re-negotiate cooperation with the winner, and their cost of negotiating with me will be much smaller than it is now."

"Everything is under your control, chief inspector."

"It's a trivial matter in the downtown area. Let them figure out the results first. The most troublesome thing for me is the imperial court. Opponents, open and dark, are much more difficult to deal with than the gangs in the downtown area." Luke thought of something, and said to Kuaileg Said: "Don't go to Copper Mulberry Avenue, go to Miss Weatherly Museum."

The car turned to another road.

Dai'er asked suspiciously, "Why did you go to Miss Qingkong's place?"

Luke explained: "There are too many people staring at me, and I don't know how long I need to keep you. If you are recognized, you will cause great trouble, and it may even trigger a civil war in the empire.

Miss Skylight is a branch of the Oulu Academy, and students and staff from the Department of Occult Arts have arrived.You are mixed in as a student of the Department of Occult Arts, and outsiders will never think that you are hiding under the eyes of the Royal Knights.

And even if you are recognized, Miss Weatherlight can explain that it is to protect you.Her special status will minimize the impact of your exposure. "

Dai'er knew that this was the best solution: "I, am I really going back to the palace this time? Next time I think about it, I don't know when it will be."

Luke returned the jasmine magic wand to Dai'er: "Please believe me, one day I will take you out of the palace and return your world to you."
