Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

The sky is clear and the wind is gentle and gentle.

Today, Zaun New Port is officially put into use.

Janna, who transformed into a blue bird, has brought news that a ship under the flag of Bilgewater is about to arrive at the port.

Under this situation, in Zaun New Port, a group of Zaun big guys, including Lux, personally stood on the newly built Pier 1, looking at the sea level to the east, and they were all eager to see through it.

Finally, at the end of the field of vision, two large ships in the style of Bilgewater appeared on the sea level.

As the two ships got closer, Lux, who had been to Bilgewater in person, was surprised to find that the leading ship... was actually Sarah's flagship, the Siren!

That's right, it's the Siren!

Although it had been repainted, there was no mistaking the ship to Lux.

Especially when the Siren got closer and closer, Lux, who had good eyesight, could clearly see the uneven color patches on the side of the ship that had been damaged by shells and were later repaired and repainted.

That's the Siren!

Considering Sarah's identity...the Queen of Bilgewater arrived in Zaun in person!

The sea breeze blows.

The two large ships got closer and closer, and finally, surrounded by waves, they arrived at the New Port of Zaun.

At the berth, the Siren dropped its main anchor. After probing out the gangway, it was accurately stuck in the reserved card slot of Pier 1. Under the expectant eyes of everyone, a tall, handsome, and energetic man appeared. The flying woman strode up the gangway.

Facing the surrounding Zaan workers and reporters, she generously took off her captain's hat, letting her long fiery red hair flutter like flames in the sea breeze.

On the deck of the Siren, the sailors burst into cheers.

Amidst the cheers, Sarah nodded with satisfaction, then put on her hat again, and then walked down the gangway.

On Pier 1, Lux strode forward, holding the hilt of her sword with her left hand, and stretched out her right hand.

The next moment, two white but rough hands were held together, and Sarah and Lux ​​both had smiles on their faces.

The Zaun people on the dock also joined in the cheers - amidst the excitement, Sarah and Lux ​​let go of their right hands and hugged each other tightly.

……………………

The Siren and the two ships behind it, the Sea Serpent, brought the first large-scale batch of Ionian specialties.

For the purpose of display and publicity, Sarah simply opened most of the cargo boxes when unloading - and saw the goods transported by the two ships. The Zaun workers who were watching had never seen the market, so at most His face looked strange, but the Piltover reporter in the crowd could hardly believe his eyes!

Flawless white porcelain, richly fragrant spices, gleaming Ionian brocade, and bundles of fine tea leaves that look like free weeds!

Unlike those ignorant Zaans, these Piltover reporters know very well that no matter what kind of product appears in the Piltover market, it is worth as much as gold!

Sarah, who had sharp eyes, almost saw the misfits among these crowds at a glance. She raised her eyebrows at Lux beside her, and a subtle smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She had the same expression when she was in Weili - Sarah thought about making money from Ionia trade, but never thought it would be so profitable.

Because Zaun handed Singed over to the Ionians, the hawkish Ionian organizations represented by Shadow Stream and the Navori Brotherhood were all full of goodwill toward Zaun.

In this case, when Bilgewater's ship arrived at the Wili Port in Ionia, took Lux's personal voucher and Zaun's trade agreement, and began to purchase supplies, the local Navoli Brotherhood He came forward and accepted the Golden Siren, which was not very popular in Ionia, and allowed this large purchase.

Then...Sarah got spoiled.

In the past, Ionia was in a relatively closed state. They didn't like doing business with outsiders very much, so the amount of Ionia's specialties flowing into other places was very small.

Those things themselves are not actually precious, but because of their scarcity, they are often treasures that only a few people can own.

Lacquerware, porcelain, paints, spices, tea, flowers, raw silk, fabrics...

Many Ionian specialties that are usually rare, as if for free at this time, were gathered by the leaders of the Navoli Brotherhood and placed in front of Sarah and Raven, allowing these two to have seen the market. The Bilgewater people almost stared out of their eyes.

After the Noxians invaded Ionia, they also consciously collected a lot of these specialties and sold them to others to raise funds. However, due to the lack of cooperation of the Ionians, they were able to collect only large quantities of these special products. Large-scale hoarding of finished products—How could there be so many hoardings of finished products in a place with a primitive social structure like Ionia?

Although the production scale of items such as lacquerware and porcelain is relatively large, they take up too much space and are difficult to transport.

Pigments and spices are often made and sold on the spot. Many of them use Ionia's native plants and minerals as pigments. The Noxians can steal the prepared ones, but they don't know them at all. They have raw materials, so the amount that can be stolen is limited.

As for raw silk, fabrics and tea, these are purely "family workshop products" in Ionia. Unless the Noxians collect them from house to house, they won't be able to get much!

Therefore, although the Noxians once occupied a large area of ​​Ionia during the eight-year Ionian War, the amount of goods they could obtain was pitifully small compared to other regions. ——The Ionians themselves do not engage in large-scale trade, and they do not have the habit of hoarding gold or other currencies, which makes it difficult for Noxus to rob them.

(The Noxians grab the most magic items from Ionia. In comparison, these items are easy to grab, bring good luck, and are relatively concentrated. If you conquer a sect, you can get a lot of them.)

Now, relying on the advantage of the "anti-Noxus" faction, Bilgewater has opened the door to Ionia's commodity trade, using the Golden Siren to purchase an astonishing amount of goods.

In the Ionian open-air market, Sarah's first reaction was "Why did I only bring two boats over?"

In this way, after some discussion, Sarah and Raven carefully combined the types of goods they purchased, resisted the temptation to throw away a few cannons in the cabin, left almost all the working capital, and left Weili.

The local Brotherhood of Navoli has no need for these golden sirens, so he asks Sarah to come back with what they need if they want to continue the trade.

As for what they need…

"We want armor and weapons!" The tall Ionian with a scar on his face said firmly, "The ambitions of the Noxians have not completely disappeared. The choice of the respected Blade Dancer after the war Too weak, we still need the strength to protect ourselves!"
