This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 205 The Sun Furnace, People with Money Ability, Business Tax
Thinking of this, Tomodo took a deep look at Claudio Heitie's skeleton, wrapped it in a sackcloth, and carefully carried it on his back.

Then he picked up the sledgehammer and swung it at the stone pillar crystal.

One hammer, two hammers, three hammers, the crystal was completely broken and lost its function.

Seeing that, Tomodo walked out with Claudio Heitie on his back in peace of mind. After closing the secret room, he went to the deepest part of the fort with ease, like a huge underground cave space deep in the ground.

There are ores scattered everywhere, various damaged furnace facilities and traces of battles, but the Black Iron Fort fell thousands of years ago, and this place has not survived.

But Tomodo didn't care about this, but went deeper, and came to a giant lava lake.

At this time, in his memory, the place where the dwarves were most proud of standing above the lava, the "Sun Furnace", was empty.

Obviously, it has also been taken away by the fraudsters.

The "Sun Furnace" is a furnace device created by the dwarves of Black Iron Castle for countless generations. Just like its name, it is a furnace like the sun.

Relying on this furnace, the dwarves can efficiently forge weapons and equipment. Not only can they smelt various metals and materials, but they can also smelt brand new metals and materials. The "Dwarf Shield" was forged from it.

But not only that, as long as the conditions are right, the "Sun Furnace" can forge legendary treasures and even semi-divine weapons.

This is the foundation of the dwarves of the Black Iron Castle.

Put it on a lawful camp like a dwarf, it will be a family protection treasure, but on an evil camp like a fraudster, it will only become a weapon that endangers the world.

It has been thousands of years since the Tricksters stole the "Sun Furnace", who knows how many weapons and equipment they have produced and how many evil people they have armed?

After a little hesitation, Tomodo left here and followed his memory to a high ground outside the Black Iron Castle.

From here, you can have a good panoramic view of the exposed part of the Black Iron Fort. This is also the place where he and Claudio often stopped and made an oath to protect the Black Iron Fort.

Claudio Heitie's body was buried here, and a flat stone tablet was cleverly smashed out with a hammer, and his name was carved on it.

After one last deep look.

Tomodo left here without looking back, and now he wants to avenge the fraud master, relying on the fact that it is not as good as before, and the possibility of being reduced to a race that is not even as good as trolls is not very high.

And he also has self-knowledge, it's okay to let him fight or forge, but if he wants to reunite the divided dwarves, it will be difficult for him.

Under such circumstances, Ji Chen naturally came to mind in Tomodo's mind. Although his current strength is not very strong, his territory is just an isolated island in the ocean.

But before looking at its series of performances, and the characteristics of being favored by the gods.

Perhaps, this human being who is still weak in his eyes can help him unite the dwarves in the future and avenge the fraudster?

Some drums in my heart.

But Tomodo has been isolated from the world for thousands of years. Except for Erin, who has sharp ears, and Ji Chen, he doesn't know anyone at all, and the people he knows are dead.

All with little choice.

Compared with asking for help from Pointy Ears, he felt that it was easier to accept Ji Chen for help, as that kid's temperament was more in line with his appetite.

And elves?
No dog can find it!

next morning.

Still in that hall.

Raymond reported the results of consultations and negotiations with many businessmen yesterday.

"Except for Gilder's [-]% share, the remaining [-]% share is given to nine businessmen, each with a share ranging from [-]% to [-]%."

"Because it is a long-term cooperative relationship, they have made some concessions on the price, which has increased by about 15% compared to the last time."

"Considering the price and commercial strength, except for these nine merchants, I have rejected their cooperation requests for the rest of the merchants."

"Including Gilder, these ten merchants will be responsible for the sales of Ocean Crown's weapons and equipment business in the northern continent."

"Here is the preliminary draft of the business contract, sir, please see if there is anything that needs to be revised."

Raymond put a stack of parchment on the table. On it was a standard commercial contract officially recognized and protected by the Maplewood Principality. Once signed by both parties, it will take effect within the Principality. The party who violates the contract will be punished. It will be investigated by the official business management agency of the Principality, and because of the absolute neutral force field and developed business of the Principality of Maplewood, this standard contract is also widely used in the North Continent, and is recognized by many kingdoms and principalities. It has considerable legal force.

This world seems to be a world with a strict hierarchy and a medieval skin, but its achievements in some aspects are not inferior to Blue Star.

Ji Chen picked up a copy and looked at it, but found nothing wrong, and he was quite satisfied, "You did a good job, it seems that I have not misjudged the person,
However, you have to be more careful, don't let other envious people play tricks and tricks to ruin our deal. "

He is not afraid of attacks on the surface, but he is afraid that those aborigines with some background will secretly play tricks in the dark and cause trouble for Ocean Crown.

"I can't do this without you giving me a chance, my lord." Raymond shook his head modestly, and after hearing the words behind him, he said confidently: "As long as Gilder and the others want to make money, and make a lot of money, they can do it." Will take the initiative to help us block those troubles hidden in the dark."

"After all, blocking businessmen from making money is more hostile than killing their entire family."

Ji Chen nodded, this is indeed the reason.

After a pause, he asked.

"Do you know the location of the Elf Embassy in Maplewood Port?"

Raymond was slightly taken aback.

"My lord, are you going to meet the elves?"

"That's right, the biggest purpose of my visit this time is to contact the elves, other things are just incidental."

Ji Chen stood up, walked to the gate, looked at the brightly flowered grass outside, and said, "By the way, I will also send the dozen or so elves who are still on board."

Hearing this, Raymond nodded suddenly, "That's true, no matter how proud the elves are, seeing us save so many abducted elves, their attitude will be better, plus the trade relationship we have established with them, It's another barrier that can protect our business on the mainland."

"However, the elf embassy is not in Fenglin Port, but in Fenglin City, which is more than ten miles away from Fenglin Port. We have to apply to the Fenglin Port official and go through some procedures before we can enter the city.

However, with the large amount of taxes paid by our Ocean Crown, this matter should be easily settled, so leave this matter to me! "

Ji Chen nodded slightly. Having a subordinate who can do things can save a lot of energy, and he doesn't have to do it himself.

However, in less than two hours, Raymond completed all the formalities.

——Actually, most of this is the effect of money ability. The Fenglin Principality is very enthusiastic about big taxpayers like Ji Chen.

Raymond just explained the matter to the butler, who was assigned here and reported it to his superior immediately. In less than half an hour, a team of Maplewood Port staff rushed to the manor.

The procedures for entering the city were completed with a very high efficiency on the spot, and at the end they respectfully presented a long-term effective token for entering the city, and said that they are welcome to visit anytime, anywhere.

And it also comes with a privilege, two oversized luxury carriages with ordinary griffin patterns.

According to the staff, these two carriages are equipped for those who have made certain contributions to Fenglin Port.

Not only can you directly pass through most of the permanent checkpoints set along the way without being blocked by soldiers, but there is also an exclusive passage to enter Fenglin City.

When he heard this, Ji Chen couldn't help sighing in his heart, being rich is really a great competition.

Facts have proved that money can really do whatever it wants, especially in a prosperous place like Fenglin Port.

As long as there are gold coins to clear the way, nothing is a big problem.

He ordered Raymond to bring the dozen or so elves who stayed on the boat to the manor, boarded the carriages separately, and headed for Maplewood City in the distance under the gaze of the manor housekeeper and maid.

Go north and gradually leave Fenglin Port. There is no tall city wall or other fortifications in Fenglin Port. There is only a two-meter-high stone wall as the boundary between the inside and the outside.

Between Fenglin Port and Fenglin City, there is a vast expanse of grassy lawn, connecting the two, the spacious masonry road is enough for sixteen carriages to walk side by side. There are many pedestrians and carriages, all heading to Fenglin City. of.

Ji Chen and his two carriages attracted the attention of many people.

Forget it, the ordinary aborigines recognize that this is a carriage that can only be used by people with money ability, and there is some envy in their eyes. Even if they are jealous, they dare not make a move. In this world of strict hierarchy and class, it is a crime to say the wrong thing.

But carefree players don't have so many scruples.

All of them were jealous and beyond recognition, with fire in their eyes.

"Damn it's a money-capable person, I'm really envious, bah, it's really disgusting! I will never be with people who smell like money!"

"Griffin-patterned carriage. I remember that people who invest, pay taxes, or spend millions of gold coins will be equipped by the Maplewood Principality. When can I get on it?"

"Who is sitting in the carriage? I'm a little curious."

As soon as the words fell, the player saw that the curtains of the carriage in the back were opened a little, revealing a beautiful face with white reflections.

The player was stunned, and subconsciously said: "Fuck! Elf?"

This word immediately attracted the attention of fellow players, as if hitting their G-spot, "Elves? Where are the elves!?"

"It's in that carriage behind!"

The players stretched their necks to look, but the curtains were only opened for a second and then lowered, making them look lonely.

A burst of frustration.

A few seconds later, the curtains were slowly opened again, and the hearts of the players were rekindled, and they stared wide-eyed.

But behind the curtain, there was a ferocious snake-headed face, and the blood-red eyes showed endless coldness, which almost didn't scare them to death.

Heart beating violently.

The curtains were lowered again, and the carriage drove away slowly.

When they came back to their senses, their first reaction was to press the elf-speaking player to the ground and beat him violently, cursing and swearing.

"What the hell, Elf? You're playing a prank, aren't you?"

"How dare you lie to us and kill this bastard!"

The player who was crushed below and beaten with his head in his arms looked sad, "I really saw an elf! Don't hit me, I'm wronged!!"

In the end, this group of players who beat others unilaterally were caught by patrol soldiers, and they were imprisoned one by one for the crime of seriously disturbing social order, and they paid for seven days of prison meals.

Inside the carriage.

The elves laughed together, looking at the naga berserkers who were also riding in the same carriage, they also felt much more pleasing to the eye.

Because of the terrain and location, the line of sight previously blocked by the high-rise buildings in Fenglin Port was also widened at this time, and it was easy to see the majestic giant city standing at the end of the grassland and under a mountain range.

The [-]-meter-high city wall seems to be as tall as the mountains, extending from the west to the east in the field of vision.

The arrow towers standing densely like trees on the top of the city, the forts standing on the city wall one after another, stretching out large and small barrels, showing their power with their teeth and claws.

From time to time, airships came in and out behind the city wall. Everyone also saw that a fleet of hundreds of airships was returning from the direction of the mountains. Surrounded by many small and medium-sized airships, there was a ship that was as large as a crescent moon. The giant airship of the No. [-] flies in the sky like an island in the sky, casting a large shadow on the ground.

Between the airships, there are many ant-sized Griffin Knights flying around, protecting the safety of the fleet.

This scene is extremely impactful.

It wasn't until the airship slowly landed and disappeared behind the city wall that they came back to their senses, and the sound of breathing reappeared in the carriage.

At this time, Raymond suddenly thought of something and said casually.

"The airship fleet should have just returned from the Alvin Mountains in the north, probably because the troll tribe there is restless again."

Ji Chen looked at him and remembered this.

The group moved on.

Soon came to the city wall.

There are a total of seven gates facing the south side of Fenglin City, the largest one in the middle is 50 meters high, and the size of the other gates decreases towards the two sides, but the two smallest side gates are also more than ten meters high.

At this time, only four side doors of the seven city gates were open, three on the left and one on the far right.

There are hundreds of elite guards in full armor in front of the city gate, checking the information and credentials of the people entering the city.

The three city gates on the left are crowded with people, while the one on the right is sparsely populated.

Naturally, Ji Chen and the others didn't have to squeeze with other people, they drove directly to the VIP passage on the far right, and stopped slowly before rejecting the horse.

The guard stationed here saw the griffin pattern on the carriage, and his expression became a little more respectful, and he came to the side of the carriage and said politely.

"Guest, please show the relevant entry certificate."

Ji Chen opened the curtain and handed over the city entry token.

When seeing the token, the guard looked even more respectful.

This kind of token can only be obtained by those who have made greater contributions to the Principality of Fenglin, and it can be used for a long time and multiple times, which is one level higher than usual.

To put it simply, it is the gold master among the gold masters.

The guard just checked the authenticity of the token carefully, and handed it back to Ji Chen respectfully.

"Dear guest, you can go in now."

Then he shouted to his colleagues: "Let go!"

Seeing this, the other guards quickly moved away from the horse, clearing a path.

The carriage started again and drove towards the city gate.

Ji Chen was a little curious about the reaction of the guards, and asked about Raymond.

"How much business tax did our Ocean Crown pay to the Fenglin Principality?"

Raymond grinned and held out three fingers.

"No more, no less, 15% commercial tax."

Me? !It is too dark to charge a 15% commercial tax!
Ji Chen didn't pay much attention to it before, but he didn't expect that there would be such a high business tax. No wonder the group of people in the Fenglin Empire serve so well, and they are not losing money at this level of business tax.

At this moment, Ji Chen decided to change his place to sell his goods, so he couldn't give money to these bastards.
