Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord
Chapter 119 Magic Stone Steam Engine
The Jackdaw Town in the early morning was still covered by mist, and the cold air brought by the winter snow was about to melt made the whole town look particularly deserted.
A caravan slowly drove out of the town and headed towards a Hunter village nearest to the foot of Jackdrift.
The leader of the caravan was sitting in the four-wheeled carriage and saw a few people standing at the entrance of the village standing on tiptoe to them.
"President George Santos! I didn't expect you to arrive so early." The middle-aged man in charge stepped forward and smiled and greeted.
The vice president of the Longshi Chamber of Commerce, with a round cheek and a slightly swollen figure, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Master Harvey... Uh no, Lord Harvey refused my request to go to the Pioneer Leader, but contacted me to come to the warehouse to get to you. meet……"
The business environment in the past is not as safe and convenient as in later generations. Most caravans with weak defense forces dare not easily cross the boundaries of their countries and run around to travel around.
Large chambers of commerce that are famous in the Southern Continent like the Dragon Stone Chamber of Commerce are rare, mainly because they provide for a blood-line warrior bodyguard team and have close ties with the nobles and federations of various countries.
The middle-aged man smiled unabated at all, and he invited Santos to enter the warehouse for a rest. At the same time, he whispered in a mysterious and mysterious manner: "Mr. Harvey invites you to come, so there are naturally good things to share with you. After all, You are the real expert in doing business and making money..."
Santos took a sip of warm ale and said with a reserved attitude: "The relationship between Lord Harvey and our chamber of commerce is not to be said, but if it is a business like the last soap, I think it is more appropriate to negotiate in person. After all, the profit is high and you need to Repeated discussions on signing a contract…”
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "The wasteland is bitter and cold. You also know that Lord Harvey is a delicate spell caster. I'm so tired recently that I've been suffering from wind and cold. I'm so sent as a representative."
He turned around and nodded slightly to the young man in the warehouse. The other party immediately brought a wooden box and placed it on the table in front of the two. After the man opened it, he exposed the two magic stones in the shadows placed inside.
"Magic Stone? What does this mean? Lord Harvey bought the magic stone from me a few days ago. Why do you want to sell it to me in reverse now?" Santos frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
The Magic Stone business involves violating the monopoly interests of the Federation. Generally, they will not easily get involved, unless it is a high-priced acquisition like Harvey and the total volume is small. After all, any large chamber of commerce has some special special things in private. smuggling channels.
"No, if it was just a magic stone, I wouldn't have troubled you to go there." The middle-aged man gently pinched one of them and showed the video records it carried to Santos. "Please see..."
It was a metal box-like creation placed on the ground. The whole blackness seemed to be assembled by multiple mechanical parts. A man with a mechanic stood beside it, skillfully pulling a long-handled joystick on the box.
The huge and heavy metal box immediately roared, and a rich white steam spewed out from the top, and then a huge roulette installed on its surface began to rotate slowly.
The oil-immersed belt attached to it quickly rotates, pulling a huge mine cart half a person tall beside it, approaching the machine at an extremely fast speed.
"This... is this an alchemy creation? The latest invention of the Exploration Society?" The knowledgeable vice president of the Longshi Chamber of Commerce opened his eyes wide and looked at the image, slightly surprised.
Then he smiled slightly jokingly: "Lord Harvey doesn't want to use this thing to replace the manpower of the mine, right? Our Chamber of Commerce also has several well-run mines in Orland, which can hire a miner. How much does it cost?”
He pointed to the metal machine in the picture, "Purchasing an alchemy creation from the Secret Society is probably enough to pay hundreds of miners for several years' salary. This is simply inappropriate in terms of cost..."
The middle-aged man did not immediately argue, but still smiled and added warm ale to his wine glass. Then he asked slowly: "President Santos, don't know how much is the price of the Alchemy Creature of the Secret Society?"
Santos thought for a while and said cautiously: "Conservatively, it will cost at least 500 pounds, and there are many troubles such as subsequent maintenance. Moreover, this kind of machine that can replace human labor and work without sleep, can't be bought with money. of."
He whispered a little disgusted, "Sir Harvey also knows that the Secret Society is a group of alchemists who work on relationships."
The middle-aged man did not respond, but instead picked up another magic stone to display the video content to Santos.
In this picture, Santos finally saw Harvey himself.
"President Santos! How are you doing recently?" In the picture, Harvey sat in a study-style room with two thick dark circles that suited his identity as a spellcaster.
"I'm sorry I can't invite you to my territory. You have been traveling back and forth between Grizzlies and Daus recently, and I'm afraid I've heard of it. I was attacked by armed aristocrats some time ago..."
"You should have watched the mechanical creations I want to show you, right? How about it? It can replace human transport and achieve powerful machines that can work sleeplessly all day long. Do you think there will be commercial prospects?"
Santos curled his lips without a trace and said to himself: "It is indeed a mechanical creation that is comparable to the technical level of the Exploration Society, but the cost is probably not as good as hiring a miner directly..."
Harvey in the video still smiled and continued, "I think you must be considering the cost and subsequent maintenance issues, right? As far as I know, the price of Exploring Similar Alchemy Creatures will probably not be less than 300 gold pounds. And they shouldn't be able to achieve mass production."
"Then, if I sincerely tell you that the machine I made is only one-fifth of the price of the machine produced by the Secret Society, and there is no need to worry about subsequent repairs and maintenance issues...will you choose to pay for it? Those large southern areas of China Do the mine owners of the mine think it's worth the money? "
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
Santos suddenly opened his eyes wide and stood up from his chair, "What? 100 gold pounds per unit? Alchemy creatures that can replace manpower and complete transportation work, can they be purchased at such a cheap price?"
He turned his head in disbelief to the middle-aged man in charge of the warehouse, "Lord Harvey, aren't you kidding me, right?
The other party seemed to have expected his expression and attitude, "President Santos, Lord Lord has always been happy to work with you. When will you have this leisure to enjoy you?"
"This kind of alchemy machine is not easy to manufacture, and the cast iron and various parts required are also very laborious. It is priced at 120 gold pounds, which is actually a franchise price given only for you, a high-quality partner."
"Its operation is very simple and its power source is quite cheap. A low-level magic stone can keep it working for more than twelve hours. You can calculate how much operating costs it can save for the mine after replacing manpower. .”
The middle-aged man slowed down and took a sip of ale with Santos' anxious expression on his face, then continued to introduce.
"Also, the application scenario of this kind of machine is not just a mine, it can also replace windmills and water wheels, grind wheat flour in the mill, and hoist various huge goods in the large cargo warehouses in your chamber of commerce and complete the lifting and loading of various large goods and haul……"
Santos could no longer sit still and interrupted the other party's endless words, "Lord Harvey has made so many such machines, and I want to buy them all!"
