Mithril Throne of Forgotten Realms

After listening to Zhang Guolao's narration, Fang Yi's first reaction was: This method is not bad, it can be used on Peach Blossom Island!

In fact, there are a large number of people in the game, just like Fang Yi and Zhang Guolao, who don't like to be restrained by others and like to act alone. This is especially common among life players, including some people with special skills.

Lao Zuo is the most typical example that Fang Yi encountered.

Peach Blossom Island can follow the example of Iron Tooth Fortress and open up a new market area on the island for solo players or small guilds who don't have such a strong family background to rent.

This has two advantages. First, it can attract more people to Peach Blossom Island, especially those high-level people who are relatively low-key and have not been recruited by other guilds.Because the meaning of a store to life players is no less than the help of an orange outfit or an advanced mount to combat players.

The reality is the same. After spreading the reputation and having a fixed source of customers, the business can gradually grow bigger and stronger.

Secondly, it can improve the reputation of Peach Blossom Island, so that more people can see the current prosperity of Peach Blossom Island. Now Chen Jing has sent someone to take pictures of Peach Blossom Island after the opening of the port, and put it on the forum for publicity.This two-pronged approach, the effect is definitely better.

Just do it!

Fang Yi immediately sent a message to Chen Jing, explaining his idea in detail, and let professionals handle the details.

After Fang Yi finished fiddling with it, he raised his head, only to find that Zhang Guolao was looking at him eagerly, and then he reacted, thinking how I forgot about him.

"Don't be embarrassing. When you think about things, you will be fascinated,"

Fang Yi smiled apologetically and said, "You want me to take you in, and ask me what's going on?"

"That's right!" Zhang Guolao nodded hurriedly, and said with a smile on his face, "This opportunity is so rare, it would be a pity to miss it! If you can take me in, my god, I will pay you three thousand gold coins! How about it? "

"It's just a little effort, no money required,"

Fang Yi waved his hand, and he had a better impression of the sleek but principled elf ranger in front of him, and said with a smile, "I'll try when the guards come out later. See if it works."

"Okay, okay! Thank you, thank you!" Zhang Guo's old face turned into a flower with a smile.Grinning his teeth, he was happy.

It's really such a rare opportunity. Zhang Guolao just quit his real job not long ago and plans to become a full-time gamer. Whether this first step is taken well is very critical.

The two waited for several minutes.The informed guard finally came out.Tell Fang Yi to go in.As for Zhang Guo, the old man didn’t even look at it——Fang Yi, as a legitimate lord, isn’t it normal to bring a subordinate~

……

There was no words along the way, and the two quickly arrived at the central area of ​​the City Lord's Mansion under the leadership of the guards.I saw Lord Gasol in a spacious and bright study room.

When seeing Gasol, the first word that came to Fang Yi's mind was "old".

The dwarf in front of him was too old.

Completely different from the dwarves Fang Yi had seen before, Gasol's appearance was far from the word "sturdy and strong".

To put it more vividly, he is like a subterranean dwarf enlarged by one size, so thin that only skin and bones are left, even the beard on his face is that lifeless gray-white, and his cheekbones protrude high. The eyelids drooped feebly, and it was difficult to look up.

"Forgive me for not being able to stand up and greet you, the strong man who came from afar,"

Just like his appearance, after listening to Fang Yi and Zhang Guolao's old voice, they subconsciously thought of the dead tree in the cold winter, "Lord Mithril Falling into the Star Sea."

"You are too kind,"

Fang Yi didn't dare to be arrogant, and bowed slightly to the old man who was sitting in the animal fur, and said word by word: "It is my honor to meet you."

Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhang Guolao who was behind Fang Yi couldn't help jumping twice in his heart: This is what is called a successful professional player!This is the real God!From the beginning of the game to the present, he has relied on his own strength, and now he can make the famous Lord Gasol so polite...

People play this game...

Here, Fang Yi and Gasol had finished exchanging greetings, and Fang Yi solemnly proposed to Gasol.

"Soul rose?"

Hearing the word Fang Yi said, the old dwarf who had been lowering his eyes slightly raised his eyes to look at Fang Yi.Fang Yi felt as if a flash of lightning flashed in front of his eyes, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on his body, and he subconsciously pressed the weapon under the cloak!

But it was only a moment later that Fang Yi came to his senses and broke out in cold sweat—this guy just glanced at me, why did he feel like he was being stared at by a giant dragon! ?This is the power of the legendary npc?

"I know this stuff, but I'm sorry I can't give it to you,"

With a smile on Gasol's wrinkled face, he raised his hand to stop Fang Yi's next request, "Needless to say, young lord. There is only one use for soul roses, and I naturally know your determination to get it .It's just that it means a lot to me now, and I really can't let it go, sorry."

Fang Yi had to swallow the words that were already on his lips—Pau Gasol's status and strength were only higher than that of Quinitos's wooden face, and being able to say the word "sorry" was already very important to him. Being polite means that there is no room for negotiation on this matter.

The only role?What is the function of soul rose?Why is Gasol so important?

Gasol's words aroused one doubt after another in Fang Yi's heart, but the current atmosphere is obviously not a good time to ask questions, so we can only talk about it later.

"Speaking of this, I actually have a business that I would like to discuss with Lord Mithril,"

The old Gasol moved slightly on the big chair covered with thick animal skins, and continued to speak: "I wonder if Peach Blossom Island is interested in ore trading?"

"Of course." Fang Yi cleared up his mood, and his mind began to spin rapidly again habitually: "I don't know what you are talking about...?"

"Iron Tooth Fort has a few small boats in the harbor of Aragon King City, which can transport the best ore of Iron Tooth Fort to Peach Blossom Island. I think these ores will be sold well in Dragon Coast." Gasol's eyes seemed to be wide open. Looking at Fang Yi with wide open eyes, he said.

Fang Yi did not speak, but still maintained an expression of listening attentively.

Because if this is the case alone, there is no need for Gasol to mention it to Fang Yi alone, just send the ship to the port of Peach Blossom Island to unload the cargo.

Sure enough, Gasol's tone remained unchanged, and he briefly explained the reason to Fang Yi.

It turns out that as an absolutely inland city, Iron Tooth Fort has all the goods, especially ore.They must be transported through the port of Aragon City.Only the large merchant ships of Aragon City can deliver these goods to various countries on the other side of the sea.

Also because of this absolute monopoly advantage, the royal family of Tumis regards all the goods in the port as their own private property, and most of the profits they get are also put into the wallet of the royal family. The final profit of Iron Tooth Fort is only one Only a small portion.

If Iron Tooth Fort wants to keep the profits of the ore firmly in its own hands.The method is also very simple.It's about signing trade agreements with other countries -- that's it.The Tumis royal family had no way to use the reason of "plenipotentiary representative of the Iron Tooth Fort trade" to grab the profits.

But without large ships, there is no way to transport goods to other countries, even if trade agreements are signed with other countries.It is still subject to the control of the royal family of Aragon, and it will treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

But now Fang Yi's Peach Blossom Island has become a variable - medium and small merchant ships can also arrive at Peach Blossom Island relatively safely, and then transported to the Dragon Coast via Peach Blossom Island, without having to rely on the big ships of Aragon King City.

"As long as Iron Tooth Fort and Peach Blossom Island sign a trade agreement, Wangcheng has no right to deduct the profits of the goods. We can also use our own ships to transport the goods. The biggest problem is no longer a problem. Of course, in return, the sale of ore The price can be reduced by [-]% on the basis of the market price, as for what price you sell on the Dragon Coast, it's none of my business~"

Gasol's old voice echoed in the study room, and it also touched the heartstrings of everyone present - the signing of a trade treaty with Iron Tooth Fort makes people's hearts flutter just thinking about it.

Zhang Guo, who was next to him, had already clenched his fists in excitement: A deal of this scale... My little plan is nothing compared to others...

"Oh?"

Fang Yi didn't rush to agree, but smiled slightly: "So, the Iron Tooth Fort's ships don't plan to resupply at Peach Blossom Island, and then send the goods directly to Ximen Port or Xingmu City? The profit of doing so is higher than selling them to us. more~"

"Hehe, without the royal family to follow, the ships and personnel of the Iron Tooth Fort are not allowed to set foot in other countries," Gasol said with a slight smile.

After hearing this, Fang Yi frowned slightly, and there was a trace of understanding in his eyes.

But Fang Yi still didn't agree, Zhang Guolao who was next to him was a little anxious, and kept winking at Fang Yi: Such a good opportunity, if you don't agree, what are you waiting for! ?

"Would the Aragon royal family be very distressed if such a large profit was taken away?"

Fang Yishi said calmly, his expression was the exact opposite of Zhang Guolao's, quite calm, "The Tumis Empire is so powerful, if we can't bear to see our Peach Blossom Island take advantage of us and send troops to attack us, what should we do?"

It wasn't until this time that Gasol's drooping eyelids lifted up for the second time, but this time Fang Yi didn't feel like he was facing an enemy, because the eyes of the lord of the Iron Tooth Fort were full of smiles, and there was even a slight smile on his face. appreciation.

"The lord of the Mithril Throne doesn't even have this bit of courage?" Gasol said with a smile for the first time, with a teasing tone in his tone.

"Hey, if I wasn't careful enough, I wouldn't be able to survive now~"

Fang Yi smiled, giving full play to his cheeky style, and was not provoked by Gasol's words: "In this way, I am personally very optimistic about this deal, let me think about it carefully, and you will receive my offer soon. answer."

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news." Gasol didn't care, and said with a slight smile.

There is nothing to say next, Fang Yi mentioned the difficulties encountered by Zhang Guolao to Gasol, the old lord just thought for a while, and then gave two orders-according to the previous promise of Iron Tooth Fort, Give the elf ranger the right to lease a store; in addition, thoroughly investigate the officials who handle the lease of the store, and if they violate the laws of Iron Tooth Fort, they will be shot to death!

Before leaving the city lord's mansion, Fang Yi took the opportunity to ask the old dwarf who seemed unable to stand up, "May I ask, how did you make sure that I am the real mithril lord and not a fake?"

"The breath of a silver dragon cannot be counterfeited,"

The old dwarf was sitting on the back of the wide chair, his eyelids should be shining brightly, "Even among all kinds of powerful dragons, the breath of the silver dragon is unique."

……

Until he came out of Iron Tooth Fort, Zhang Guolao was still muttering and talking non-stop: "This npc still has sex problems? This is also a cheating... Isn't this nonsense..."

"It's normal. The NPCs in "Miracle" all have their own backgrounds, power backgrounds, growth backgrounds, and of course emotional and character backgrounds. It's not surprising,"

Fang Yi patted the elf ranger on the shoulder, and explained with a smile: "This is probably a small plot task. We should have triggered the plot this time. If you are lucky, there may be discounts on store rental. It depends on your luck. Already~"

"Really?"

Zhang Guolao's eyes lit up, he said excitedly, and then sincerely thanked Fang Yi: "Great God! It's lucky to have you! Otherwise, I would have stumbled..."

"Don't call me Dashen, call me Cube, it's weird,"

Fang Yi waved his hand and said, "Everyone came here slowly, I just walked a little faster than you."

Where is it faster... We are still riding bicycles, you are already on a rocket... Zhang Guolao sighed in his heart.

Fang Yi actually intends to recruit Zhang Guolao.Because through chatting with the other party, Fang Yi learned that the elf ranger in front of him has quite high mining and alchemy skills, and he is definitely a first-class life player.

It's just that no matter in reality or in the game, if you want to stand out, you need not only strength, luck is also a very important factor.Now Fang Yi's thinking has also changed. In the past, people always came to recruit Fang Yi, but now Fang Yi is always talking about recruiting others.

However, Zhang Guolao politely declined Fang Yi's invitation, and the reason was very solid: After spending so long in Iron Tooth Fort, the location and harmony of people have been established, and now the shop will open, and the time will not be far away. Zhang Guolao wanted to fight it out.

Fang Yi nodded approvingly, expressing his firm support for Zhang Guolao's decision.Back then, in the early virtual game "Shushan. Sea of ​​Clouds", Fang Yi fought with other brothers, didn't it also rely on this enthusiasm and almost stubborn persistence?

"Would you like to come with me to the market area? Maybe there's something you're looking for?"

Obviously, Zhang Guolao didn't want to pass by the great god in his heart, so he warmly invited: "I have many friends who are mining and learning blacksmiths. I'll take you to ask them. Many people are powerful~" (To be continued. .)
