The Witcher: Elemental Lords

#716 - Buying slaves

The current sources of money for Albis City come from two aspects: the first is selling land, and the second is the investment of various large nobles.

Dore didn't keep much for himself, investing all of it into construction.

Building a city from scratch isn't just about having force. Dore has deeply understood this principle recently. Therefore, he didn't refuse the investments of the Marcia and Lant families, and he allocated a piece of land to them, promising exclusive monopoly rights in the brewing industry and other agreements.

Of course, these two families also paid a great price to secure this.

The city lord's mansion is currently concurrently managed by someone sent from Wassenberg, with Dore responsible for supervision. At the same time, various administrative officials are being recruited for land, planning, commerce, trade, and so on. Currently, there are about two hundred people working inside the city lord's mansion.

The city lord's mansion used witchcraft to build a main building, which only took a day.

The planning and design were done in the morning, and the building was directly condensed using witchcraft in the afternoon.

Of course, these are still simple, temporary houses. The specific construction will have to wait for the transportation team mining stones from Mount Albis to return before rebuilding.

The new city is a business opportunity, but also a big spender. Of course, the real benefit is being able to reap the rewards from the investment.

At this moment, Dore is signing a contract with the people from the Glory Wizard Alliance, giving them the mining rights to several magic crystal mines on the mountain.

Mount Albis is very large, so it is normal to have magic crystal mines. This thing originally needed to be controlled by the empire.

Originally, as the president, he could mine it himself, but unfortunately, he didn't have anyone under him, so he could only let the main association take on this matter first. Anyway, they were happy to mine it.

They can keep one-third of the mined magic crystals as taxes to be handed over to the higher-level Glory Wizard Alliance, and two-thirds can be kept, which is also one of the economic sources of Albis City.

Next, there are other mining matters that need his cooperation to complete. In short, he is very busy now, so busy that he is almost always on the go.

Developing a county city is something every force is willing to do, because there are large profits to be made, but it is still in the early stages, and investment is not enough, let alone returns.

In the mountains.

In the tenth floor of the Babel Tower, Aisi is surrounded by countless frost, and the whole person seems to be in a world of ice and snow.

Fortunately, the Babel Tower has the effect of space isolation, otherwise the entire wizard tower would be in a world of ice and snow.

She slowly closed her eyes, her eyes full of determination. This time, she doesn't plan to come out until she reaches level six.

She has fragments of rules, the Heart of Profound Frost, and various auxiliary materials such as White Sand Ice. If this can't help her reach level six as soon as possible, she might as well die.

Dore entered level six at the age of twenty-seven. She will also work hard to enter level six before the age of thirty-five.

Aisi is actually two years older than Dore, and is now twenty-nine years old. She tries to cheer herself up.

In terms of bloodline, Aisi's bloodline has been improved as much as possible, and it is very pure. Internal strength and external strength are sufficient. Now she only needs to practice with peace of mind.

She turned her gaze to the distance, to the mountains, and saw the busy figure of Dore, her eyes slowly closing.

The surrounding chill intensifies, and the ice and snow slowly rotate and dance, gradually entering into silence.

Dore was surveying in the mountains. At this time, he glanced at the Babel Tower in the mountains, and his eyes gradually became stern.

Aisi entering a state of cultivation and sprinting to level six is also very good for her future development.

Although the clone is already level six, the meditation method is only level five. Dore is thinking about whether to replenish the Bone Demon God.

In the past, the intensity of mental power was not enough, but now the intensity is sufficient, so it can also be improved.

However, there are indeed too many things to do recently, and his own strength is not enough, so he can only take the method of hiring to do other things. Everything has to be reported to him, and even the clone has built a city lord's mansion in the temporary city lord's mansion.

A simple road was built from the city, directly leading to the mountains, to facilitate the transportation of stones and minerals.

She thought, should she summon her few subordinates and separate Christa, letting them operate independently, and just leave Diano there to watch?

Just himself is not enough. If it doesn't work, he will have to buy some specialized slaves.

Thinking of this, he thought of Zongluyuan. There seem to be many management talents from various countries there, although they don't manage very well, but they are always much better than him.

...

Wassenberg.

At the entrance of Zongluyuan, Gideon and Tawa stood together, one wearing a very gorgeous wizard robe, and the other wearing a gorgeous warrior light armor.

Gideon looked complicated. He was bought by Wizard Dore from here back then.

He was still young back then. Now, four years have passed, and he has become a half-grown boy, and his height is almost catching up with Uncle Tawa next to him.

Following the crowd, he slowly walked into Zongluyuan. The people around him very appropriately distanced themselves from them.

Wizards, no matter what their status, are respected and awed wherever they go.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

As soon as he entered Zongluyuan, Gideon saw the manager, Rupert. At this time, he was leaning against the wall like an old god, looking around boredly.

Gideon saw Rupert and felt a little self-deprecating in his heart. Back then, this guy sold him. Now, the tables have turned, and he is here to buy people.

There is no need to look for anyone else. This guy is a high-level executive. It must be right to find him.

So, he strode towards Rupert.

Rupert was a little older and seemed more bored. Here, all day long, there are nobles coming and going. Commoners can actually afford slaves, but they can only buy the cheapest goods, which can't even enter the main hall.

Most of the people here are nobles or merchants, basically people with status.

In the past, he would go up to see what the noble needed and contact them to build relationships. Now that he is the deputy director, he doesn't need to. He just comes to walk around when he has nothing to do.

Just then, he felt someone walking towards him. He turned his head to take a look and was immediately stunned.

Gideon, the little prince of that small country back then, is now Dore's second-in-command butler. He blinked, what is this guy doing here, looking for trouble?

He was still a little uneasy in his heart. Dore's current status is not something he can afford to offend.

He immediately stood up straight and waited quietly.

Gideon put on the airs of an ordinary person. Before he even walked over, his cheerful voice came over.

"Lord Rupert, is everything alright?"

Rupert relaxed. This guy has no malice.

He smiled and greeted him, saying, "What's the matter? Wassenberg is very comfortable. You should have a deep understanding of it. Why are you here?" He almost blurted out 'visiting an old place', but fortunately, he closed his mouth.

Gideon smiled and said, "It's nothing big. I'm helping my master find a few capable stewards and secretaries, preferably with clear minds, regardless of age, as long as they are capable."

Rupert immediately became serious. The news about Albis City is raging. I don't know how many people intend to go. It seems that Dore doesn't have enough people.
