Chapter 617 The Significance of Mercury Mine
As soon as Da Fei entered the Alchemy Guild of Holy Crown City, he felt as if he had entered a magnificent clock exhibition hall. On the high ceiling and on the walls of the golden hall, there were clock dials, swinging pendulums, and moving hands everywhere. The hall was full of quiet ticking bells.
The clock represents time, and controlling time is one of the high-end features of the Mage Academy. The most powerful hero of the Mage Academy is the legendary lantern god Taimokhan, who has the title of "Lord of Time". He can freely deploy troops at will. The time determines the unit's action, and the attack speed is meaningless in front of him. Even if his opponent's unit is the Phoenix with the highest attack speed in the Hero Continent, it can still be beaten by his unit without a chance to take action.
There is a price to pay for dominating time, and the price is that the troops he "allocated time" will turn into the dust of history after the war, disappearing and not even the scum can be found. However, as long as he can win a decisive victory in the battle , this price is nothing at all. Therefore, Taimokhan established Holy Crown City's first seat in the Seven Cities Alliance, and at the same time, Taimokhan also became the name of the most prominent genie family in Holy Crown City. For example, above The fat manager who personally came to Dafei's City of Light to collect the Overlord's Skin for the first time was also named Tai Mokhan.
Now, Da Fei arrived at a teleportation hall under the guidance of the guiding djinn.
The genie reminded: "Please show your business card again!"
Da Fei took out his business card and it immediately started to glow.
The Djinn God reminded: "The owner of the business card, Assistant Manager Sean, agrees to your meeting!"
Then the light in the teleportation hall flashed, and the scene changed. Da Fei appeared in a large room filled with books, scrolls, instruments and bottles. And the long-lost Thain was behind the table in the large room.
Da Fei immediately came back to his senses and laughed loudly: "Mr. Thain, congratulations, congratulations on your promotion!"
Thain immediately stood up and stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Da Fei, welcome, welcome. The reason why I was promoted is all thanks to Mr. Da Fei's rare magic eye skin. Are you here to collect mercury from the factory?"
Da Fei smiled and said: "Isn't that true? I have hundreds of units of concentrated mercury here. I want to ask an old friend to exchange it for some ancient granite, fine crystal, and fine crystal sulfur. Can it be convenient?"
Thain hurriedly said: "As an assistant manager, there is no problem in handling this business. This is the current exchange market list. Please choose Mr. Da Fei as appropriate!" After speaking, he took out a list and handed it to Da Fei.
Da Fei took the list and looked at it, and couldn't help but frown. Only 2.81 units of concentrated mercury can be exchanged for 1 unit of crystal sulfur? Is it really a request for help? This exchange ratio is too cheating. If you use this ratio, then what? The fortress cannot be started yet!
Da Fei said in a deep voice: "Old friend, this is concentrated mercury. If I trade with the undead forces, it is possible to exchange 1 unit of mercury for 2 units of sulfur. You can't do this business!"
Thain also shook his head and sighed: "Indeed, humans need crystals, undead need mercury, and elves need gems. The correct trading method is of course to choose the forces that meet the needs. This form is the price set by our Seven Cities Alliance, and I can't do anything about it. .”
Da Fei said in shock: "Old friend, I came here specially to deliver business to you, can't you think of another way?"
Thain sighed: "There is really no way. If the Seven Cities Alliance manufactures the gems that Titan urgently needs, I might be able to find a way to give you a discount within the specified price range, but there is really nothing I can do about mercury."
I'm going to kill you! I've already praised you as an assistant manager, but you can't do anything about it. What use can I have with you? Do you think I have to rely on Ma Yinglong's connections to ask him to exchange for the undead? Or should I go to the goblin city to inquire about it?
Quotes?
Da Fei sighed: "In that case, I won't bother you, sir, but since you're already here, let's take the mercury factory back by the way."
"No problem." At this point, Thain's eyes flashed: "By the way. Mr. City Lord, is there any relationship between the concentrated mercury you want to exchange and the mercury factory?"
Damn it! Isn’t this nonsense? Once I kill the demigod crow and the mercury factory starts construction, the red and shiny cinnabar on the shore will be the raw material for producing high-concentration mercury! But - thinking about this makes me very excited
Next move! It seems that he asked me this once when I wanted to buy a mercury factory? But at that time, the city of light was in danger. I didn’t want any big influence to know about my rich mercury mine, so I avoided it.
He solved his problem. But now the overall situation of the City of Light has been decided, and the Vine Demon Space and Habit Village have also been included. One moment, another moment!
Appropriately showing one's strength to partners will help increase their confidence in me. Da Fei laughed and said, "Sir, what do you think?"
Thain's electric eye flashed again and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. City Lord, does he know the meaning of owning a rich resource mine, no, just an ordinary resource mine?"
Da Fei burst out laughing in surprise. Players all know this! Looking at the old world, all mines and even a forest are the territory of NPC forces. Even if players want to intervene, they will just be workers who help with logging and mining.
Looking at the number of city lord players in the new world during the open beta, how many of them can own mines? The city lords who own large mines are all representatives of world-class guilds, and the territories with large mines are all the most intense battlefields of national wars.
And the reason why the war is fierce is not necessarily because other countries want to steal or occupy the mines, but just to achieve strategic goals so that you can't mine the mines or make ends meet. In short, the significance of owning a mine is not trivial, even for Makar.
Even a grand duke would drop his moral integrity and salivate, let alone the little assistant manager in front of him.
Da Fei smiled and asked: "Old friend, of course I know the meaning of a mine, and I want to hear your opinion!"
Thain said solemnly: "Owning a mine means that you can indirectly influence or even control a force, such as the undead clan who are in urgent need of mercury mines to create high-end troops."
Da Fei's brows jumped: "What do you mean, old friend?"
Sparks crackled in Thane's electric eye: "I can be an intermediary agent! For example, for the mercury from Mr. City Lord, I can make a special trip for you and contact an undead buyer for you, and I can sell it to the City Lord's satisfaction.
The price is the deal for this exchange.”
Da Fei was suddenly overjoyed and couldn't help laughing: "Old friend, after all, you still have a way!"
Thain said solemnly: "However, this is against the rules of the guild. As a salesperson or manager of the guild, you must not bypass the guild to do business privately. Once discovered, my future here will be over!
He will even be sealed in a crystal lamp and live a miserable life like a prisoner."
Da Fei suddenly became stunned: "Then this agent you are talking about..."
Thain said solemnly: "This is a risk that must be taken in the initial stage. Otherwise, under the rules of the guild, my credit will always be the credit of my superiors. I can only surpass my peers and it is difficult to replace my superiors! I want to go further.
Gao, I need more business channels. What I need even more is the support of the city lord. As long as the city lord can guarantee that he can provide me with a large amount of mercury mine privately at any time, I can achieve absolute success in the competition in the same industry.
Advantages, gradually gain the trust and even dependence of undead and other forces, and then gradually improve my status. At that time, the city lord will receive my loyalty in return, and I will provide the city lord with the high-end equipment and facilities of the Seven Cities Alliance to the maximum extent. City lord
What do you think, sir?"
Da Fei was shocked from ear to ear, what a collusion between government and business! However, I like it, as long as I have this high-end insider, my resource advantage can be transformed into high-tech advantages. What I pursue is high-tech, wow
Hahaha!
Da Fei immediately said: "From the first day I saw Mr. Thain, I knew there was a monkey turd between us. I read you right. What I like most is a motivated manager like Mr. Thain."
If people cooperate, let us make progress together and support each other!"
Thain's excited eyes were filled with lightning: "I'm not wrong about Mr. City Lord. Not only can Mr. City Lord defend the city in such an unfavorable situation, but he also has the ability to mine. This is not an ordinary ability. In order to cooperate with Mr. City Lord, I
Are you willing to take risks! Well, time is running out, so let me go to your city in the name of delivering goods, and let me see the goods of Mr. City Lord!"
Chapter completed!
