First Law

Seeing Karen's rascal appearance, Alice blushed pretty, couldn't help but think of the embarrassing scene, and just rolled her eyes, "Farewell, there are still so many people."

"Then you still don't explain." Karen also just wanted to adjust the atmosphere. He hadn't opened up to that point yet. After joking a few words, the two quickly calmed down.

"Karen, you also know that among the seven kingdoms, our ice kingdom has the lowest right to speak, and because there is no sea area, the development is slower, so when my grandmother proposed to engage in magic."

"Oh, you guys were doing magic at that time?" Karen immediately became interested.

Alice nodded, "That's right, we believe that magicalization is a necessary step for the development of civilization, and at that time Alchemy Continent had already proved the advanced nature of magicalization, but unfortunately, it was not as simple as we imagined, after we put everything into it , only to find that the material resources, manpower, and funds needed are completely bottomless, and technical limitations make it impossible for us to advance the magic power forward. As a result, the Ice Kingdom is becoming more and more passive. However, magic power cannot be done. At that time The older generation in the Ice Kingdom wondered if they could borrow other people's magic power."

"Borrow it?" Karen asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it is to use the magic power produced by others and transport it to the Ice Kingdom through equipment. Since it is self-produced magic power, it is much cheaper than natural magic stones. Everyone thinks this is a feasible way, so we started to find a way How to borrow magic power? Fortunately, at that time, the internal storage of magic stones in the Alchemy Kingdom had just emerged, and my grandmother traveled to the Alchemy Continent and brought back the first batch of materials."

Karen's heart was shocked, "Do you have the earliest information about the Sorcerer's Stone?"

Alice nodded, but then smiled wryly, "Yes, it can be said that we are in sync with the Alchemy Continent in the research of the internal storage of the Philosopher's Stone. Unfortunately, we are no longer one or two steps behind. Over the years, The basic magic circuit inside can't be designed either."

The built-in magic circuit is a chain of runes whose magic power can operate in a closed environment, which is the core problem.

This kind of loss is understandable, and there is no way to do it. Magic is not done by one person, it needs countless people to move forward bit by bit. Why is the level of alchemy in Alchemy Continent so high? In the life of an ordinary creature.

On the Aegean Continent, when it comes to alchemy, no matter whether it is an ordinary income or a high-ranking human monarch, it is all mysterious and profound knowledge, but on the Alchemy Continent, for an ordinary creature, it is as easy as eating and drinking water.

This is the gap, the gap that cannot be bridged.

But now Karen is trying his best to make up for this gap. He wants to deepen the foundation of alchemy into the thoughts of every creature. The development path of Jinzhen.

If someone asked Karen what this path was, he wouldn't know either.

The road ahead is inherently unpredictable.

Looking at Alice, I didn't expect my wife to be a talented woman in storing magic stones. The magic circuit is difficult for others, but there is a well-known scroll master in Shining Gold Town, and the magic circuit is her old profession. .

"I can solve technical problems, what do you think, and what does the Ice Kingdom think?"

"Can you solve it?" Alice was a little unbelievable, after all, the built-in Philosopher's Stone was too unusual.

"You haven't said what you think, how can I agree." Karen asked with a smile.

Alice hurriedly said: "Actually, the idea of ​​the Ice Kingdom is very simple. It is to pick up our lost things and devote ourselves to researching the built-in Sorcerer's Stone. Our royal family has always believed that this market is very broad, and at the same time it can help us obtain more precious things. development resources.

"

Karen didn't give Alice an answer right away. He already had a basic idea in his mind, but he still needed to carefully consider it. After about half a minute, he asked solemnly, "Do you really want to build a built-in Philosopher's Stone?"

"Karen, what time is it? Our Ice Kingdom is almost swallowed up by Alexander. You don't know the debts that have been placed on us these days. Even if we sell our royal family, we will not be able to pay back. If this continues, I'm afraid The Kingdom of Ice is about to follow in the footsteps of the Kingdom of Stormwind, so just tell me, my father told me that I can make up my mind on this matter."

"Well, actually, I don't object to this proposal, and it's more assured to hand it over to the Ice Kingdom to make it, but both parties must cooperate. The Flash Gold Town provides the magic circuit design, the built-in solution ratio method, and the Ice Kingdom conducts shell production and coordination. The raw liquid is assembled and recharged, and the finished product must be handed over to Shining Gold Town for unified sales."

Alice was a little hesitant. This plan was actually very unfair. If the core technology was produced by Gold Town, then they would be just a processor, and their profits would be pitifully small.

Everyone knows how valuable technology is in this world now, and with Karen's personality, it is impossible to give the bulk to the Ice Kingdom.

"How to distribute?"

"Except for the cost, 60% of the town is accounted for by Shining Gold Town, and the remaining 40% is left to you."

Sure enough, as Alice had imagined, this was a bit dissatisfying. After all, the Ice Kingdom was a kingdom, and Gold Shining Town was just a small town with a completely disproportionate population.

"Can we discuss it?"

"No!" Karen replied firmly, "Alice, I'm telling you the truth now, this share is not too much, and it must be handed over to the operation of Gold Shining Town."

"Why?" Alice was puzzled, but Karen seemed to be buying and selling by force.

Karen pointed to her eyes, "Vision and market, I think you should know that there are many cooperation projects between Gold Shining Town and the Outer Continent, and all the magical products cannot be digested by the Aegean Continent in a short time, so It must be released to other continents, if it is handed over to the Ice Kingdom to operate, can the income be guaranteed?"

Alice was silent. She didn't know, no, she knew exactly, but she just didn't want to admit it. The Ice Kingdom had the most contact with the human kingdom, and most of the things they produced were sold to the human race. As for the so-called Outer Continent , It's not something they can touch at all.

"But forty percent is too little, at least half, we are a kingdom after all."

Karen smiled, "Okay then, let's put it another way, I'll give you 100 million pennies a year, and no matter how much or how little it is, it will all be from the town of Gold."

"One hundred million?" Alice asked with some difficulty. She was born in the royal family and naturally knew the value of this money, which was almost considered as the whole year's income of the Ice Kingdom. If she gave this sentence to the Ice Kingdom, she believed The elders of the royal family wanted to nod immediately.

But she still hesitated. It was only two months since she was married to Karen, but during these two months, she deeply felt the courage of this young man. This is an ability that she has never had before. She can say a hundred million, That proves that it is guaranteed that the money can be earned back, and it is more than enough.

If she wants to believe in the real 100 million, it is her own self-consciousness, and now she needs to make up her mind.

Now I regret that I can make up my own mind. I looked at Karen and couldn't help laughing, "I'll take 40%."

Karen stepped forward and scratched the opponent's little nose, "As long as you are smart, it's settled. I have sent a message to Churchill and will contact the Ice Kingdom immediately. It is estimated that the contract can be negotiated tonight, and the cooperation between the two parties can be completed tomorrow morning." Get on the horse, if it is normal, the first batch of built-in magic stones will be released in two months."

"There's no need to be in such a hurry."

"Hmph, what do you know? Good things have to be struck while the iron is hot. Now is not the time to play. Don't worry, Churchill can handle things well." Karen said with a smile, but when she looked at Alice, her expression turned cold. stand up.

Alice trembled in fright, "What's wrong with you?"

"Alice, I'm fine. Let's talk about our business." Karen said sternly, "We're married, aren't we?"

Alice nodded, not knowing what to say.

"Very good, so I hope you can respect me and Jinshi Town at the same time. I know that you followed me with a purpose, and you helped Jinshi Town a lot at the critical moment, but none of these can make you stay wholeheartedly around Han Considering the Ice Kingdom, you have to recognize your identity."

"Me? Identity?" Alice was full of doubts, but she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong.

"I hope that the next time we talk, we won't talk about business matters. I don't want to lie in the same bed with me every day, still thinking about business and territory. This is what I don't like the most. You should Learn from Maria, when we are together, we never talk about things that have nothing to do with the two of us."

"But I'm not Maria."

"But you are my wife, and you should respect life even more." Karen emphasized seriously, "You should choose between the mistress of Gold Town and the princess of the Ice Kingdom, Alice, if you choose the former, I must Divorce, if the latter, then all cooperation with the Ice Kingdom must be abandoned this time."

"Why, this is not a conflict."

hehe!

Karen gave a weird laugh, "But in my opinion, this is a conflict."
