Chapter 1263 Financial Crisis
"Oh, of course, of course, where did I just say that?" Hades forgot the topic after bragging, and was reminded by the student and slapped his head: "By the way, there are only ten gold coins on the account at the moment, how can I get them back quickly?" How about granting funds to tide over this difficulty?"

Zhao Hu pondered: "Why don't we send someone to contact Sophia quickly and make a deal in advance?"

Fei Li smiled wryly and said, "Ten gold coins are not even enough to run space passages." The space gates connecting the territories are all mutually beneficial and each has a dedicated person to manage them. The number of openings is recorded every day, and settlements are made every three days.

If the number of operations between the two territories is the same, the cost will be offset, and if the number of times in one family is more, the cost of the space gate must be made up.In the territory near Wanmo City, no one came to the cold glacier continent, and never paid a penny.

"Oh, it's a worthless war!" Hades poured another glass of ale, which seemed to be a way to drown his sorrows.

"Why is it not cost-effective?" Zhao Hu retorted the old guy's short-sightedness.He analyzed the interests of conquering the Ocean Alliance to Hades and Feili, and expanded the sphere of influence of the territory. Let alone, how much labor force will the 30 sea people provide?

The marine life is simple and firm in nature. With the spread of the dark religion, how many souls of faith will be gathered?And the value of Ocean Battle Hymn is immeasurable.What's more, with the Ocean Alliance, the materials on the seabed can be mined, which is a huge treasure that no one has mined!

Hades is convinced by what he said, but it is all for future benefits, how to solve the immediate predicament?Even if you go to rob, you have to prepare supplies. There are more than 1 miles away from the coast of the Aegean Sea. Even if you use the space gate to shorten it by more than half from Shark Island, it will take [-] miles.Don't you eat or drink along the way?

"Master Goode and Paulson have something important to report!" Outside the door, came the loud voices of the two beast generals. They aroused the beast's blood madness during the battle of the Sea Clan. Fortunately, Durek stunned them in time to let the blood out. Afterwards, the Queen of Oman, who surrendered, was treated with sea battle songs. In the past two days, she went through a period of weakness and gradually recovered without any injuries.

"Come in!" Hades downed the second glass of ale in one gulp, and poured another glass from the small barrel.He usually likes to drink a few sips, and when encountering difficult things, he will drink heavily. Zhao Hu once made fun of him. Can a series of problems be solved by drinking alcohol?It made him laugh dejectedly, admitting that this bad habit is actually left over from the days of wandering in the abyss world.

Goode and Paulson filed in and reported two good news to Zhao Hu.

The first one is the trade envoy of the vampire queen Sophia carrying gold coins, who just stepped into the frozen city and is resting in the alchemy test tower!This news was like a windfall, without a word, Hades dragged Fei Li and the other two magicians, ran out like a gust of wind, and went to his site to receive distinguished guests.

The crisis of bankruptcy was temporarily resolved, and Zhao Hu was relieved. He signaled that the two beasts would sit down and talk.Gude and Paulson sat down respectfully, straightened their waists and pressed their hands on their knees neatly. They did not dare to neglect in front of their master. They were both extremely grateful for being rescued by their master on the verge of life and death.

The second news that followed caught Zhao Hu's attention. The orcs who stayed behind once again captured a group of traders from the Sun Empire. This was the third time they had captured traders.Since the Glacier Continent is very far away from the mainland in the Arctic Ocean, it is closer to the border of the Demon Race. When Wei Botu was wiped out, no one escaped. The Sun Empire still does not know that the former Wei Botu territory has long since ceased to exist.

According to Gude, after the interrogation of the trader, the previous two trading ships never returned without any news, and the "Holy Light", one of the three major traders of the Sun Empire who had always traded with Wei Botu, The "Trading Chamber of Commerce" was very anxious, worrying about encountering a storm or an iceberg hitting an accident in the long ocean, so it sent a third batch of merchant ships to transport iron ore.Unexpectedly, just after landing, he was captured by the ambushing orcs.

"Master, I'm worried that none of the three batches of merchant ships will return. Sooner or later, it will arouse the suspicion of the Holy Light Trading Chamber of Commerce. I'm afraid they will come to detect by other means. We have to take precautions in advance." Goode suggested.

"Well, what you said is correct." Zhao Hu nodded lightly and said, "Is there any good way?"

"Master, I have an idea!" Paulson said: "We polar bears are natives of the Glacier Continent, and we are very familiar with this land. Ice bears are friends of our bears and can be driven by the tribe.

I wonder if it is ordered not to hunt ice bears, but to let my people divide the area and monitor the coastline?Of course, apart from ice bears, the penguin family can also drive seals and wild penguins. With the heart-to-heart connection between the two big orcs and the companion beasts, as long as there is any trace of an enemy from outside, it will be monitored. "

"This method is good, then order to stop hunting ice bears." Zhao Hu didn't expect that ice bears, penguins and seals still have such valuable abilities, so he agreed immediately.

Seeing that his master agreed with his proposal, Paulson parted his lips and said with a smile: "According to what I know about the frozen ocean, it will enter the cold winter in a month or so, and it will be extremely cold when it is frozen thousands of miles away. The means are useless, and those who don’t have a thorough understanding of the glacier continent will freeze to death at night.”

Zhao Hu also understood this point, when Wei Botu led his people to set foot on the Glacier Continent.Hundreds of people froze to death at night, and he and the remaining dozens of people stripped off the clothes of the dead and hugged each other, and fled back to the Sun Empire until dawn. He returned here for the second time when he was fully prepared.Cold weather is the natural ally of the Frozen Territory.The sea was frozen in winter, even if the Sun Empire discovered that Wei Botu had been wiped out.If you want to send troops to retake this place, you will have to have the spring of next year at the earliest.

Zhao Hu's plan is not to mess with the Sun Empire for the time being, and to block the news so that the Divine Light Merchant Guild will try its best to guess what kind of tragic fate the merchant ship sent has.The moment of procrastination counts as a moment, and the most urgent task is to digest the great benefits brought by the various races of the sea that have just joined.

As long as the strength increases, before you come to provoke me, I will run to invade you first!Zhao Hu thought coldly in his heart.

Three months later, an overwhelming blizzard swept across the entire Glacier Continent, and the vast territory was covered in snow. The sea surface of more than 1000 miles offshore was covered by thick ice, and the sea surface outside was covered with icebergs and icebergs. The number of blocks increased significantly, which was very dangerous when sailing.

Since the vampire queen Sophia's trade envoy came to Frozen City, the iron ore trade has officially started. The ore mined every day is divided into types according to quality, and they are transported away the next day. It is very convenient to settle accounts every seven days. The advanced and scarce frozen territory brought a lot of profits, and Hades was happy to say good things about Sofia for the first time.

In order to prevent the cold in winter, the fire crystal heating stove invented by Hades was manufactured and distributed in large quantities. This convenient heating magic stove has benefited the Sea Clan who had just been attached to it, and praised the deputy lord repeatedly. Master, even when the magic power is sealed, he can still create such an unexpected magic furnace.

Zhao Hu took out a large number of magic crystals looted from the Flame Demon Chamber of Commerce and handed them to Hades for use. The high-quality low-level magic crystals made Hades dumbfounded, and asked where they got them from?How could he tell the truth, he smiled and said nothing mysteriously, which made the old guy very depressed. He guessed countless possibilities, but he didn't guess that he was robbed from the Flame Demon Chamber of Commerce.

The fire-type crystals in that batch of magic crystals were immediately used on a part of the heating stove.The others were treasured by Hades for future alchemy casting.

In addition to the fire crystal heating stove, the cold-resistant leather robes and boots are also in the hands of the simple and honest women of the bear clan and the penguin clan. They are rushing to make one by one. The cold-resistant fur of sea beasts enshrined by various races in the ocean.

In the past three months, under the auspices of Archbishop Paul, a small dark church has been built on each island where the branch of the Sea Race lives. The slow and patient Sea Turtle Clan promoted and eliminated many missionaries.

As a result, the Dark Cult spread smoothly among all the sea tribes. Sea tribesmen, who had lost the favor of the sea god for many years, believed in the demon god Solomon with a pious attitude. It has formed an ethos among the Hai Clan, and it seems to be the most popular belief.

According to the tradition of the Dark Cult, pastors and missionaries are promoted from among the believers. This is to gather the strength of the believers, and also because the representatives of these believers understand the situation of the tribe better.And it is the work of the Dark Archbishop who is responsible for the promotion. In this regard, the young Archbishop Paul is extremely efficient.

A corps of [-] elite marine fighters has been prepared and stationed on the largest Mermaid Island, under the control of the Queen of Oman.It is not only an important force to protect the Ocean Alliance, but also a marine force to support the Frozen City at any time.The leader of the legion is Benny, the number one warrior of the Sea Clan.

The benefits brought by the surrender of the Ocean Alliance are obvious. First of all, the Sea people are masters in hunting fish. They offered a large number of fish to the Frozen City, which saved a lot of money to buy food, and could be sold into the abyss world. Exchange for hard currencies such as gold coins or spars.

Secondly, under the guidance of Rose, the leader of the goblins, two iron mines, a copper mine, and a gold mine were found on the seabed. What made Hades even more overjoyed was that there was also a mithril mine.This is the corner of the huge treasure house under the sea, and more ore veins will be discovered one after another.
