Chapter 755 Abnormal Flow of Raw Materials

"So there are so many inside stories here? Father seems to have never mentioned these."

Hearing Avis's explanation, Fiona's pink little mouth opened slightly, and her big lake blue eyes blinked twice, a little surprised.

"I got most of this information not from my family, but from other sources. You should know that it's just like our other brothers and sisters."

Avis shook his head and deliberately did not use the word "family".

"After we go back, you can also try to ask for help from father to establish your own independent source of intelligence. Many times, some intelligence that may be helpful to you will not be told to you by others.

And, in many cases, there are also some special sources of information in daily life, such as the tasks issued by the association. From these new tasks, you can often learn about some things happening in various parts of the empire from the side."

Gestured to Fiona, Avis stood up from the sofa and walked slowly to the task wall on one side of the hall.

At this time, not long after the task update, several members of the Watcher Association had gathered in front of the task wall made of gray-white marl, all choosing tasks suitable for them.

Since the Watcher Association has just officially started, most of the tasks in the association are actually taken over by the Last Dragonborn using their identities from other large organizations.

The specific process is that after the association members complete the task, they submit it and get the association points as rewards. The Last Dragonborn takes the task props submitted by the members and submits it to the forces that issued the task. After receiving the reward, it is added to the association's warehouse to maintain the operation of the association.

[B-level task: Suppressing bandits]

[Task description: Bandits appeared on the west side of the Manley Mountains in Alfred Province, with a number of about 50 to 100 people. The bandit leader is a high-level fourth-level player and is suspected to be a foreigner. Submitting the task requires the heads of the bandit leader and four cadres as evidence. ]

[Reward: Watcher points * 2000, B-level task emblem * 1]

[C-level task: Collecting black mirage pearls]

[Task description: There is a pearl oyster called mirage at the bottom of the Black Sea. The black mirage pearl is produced by the third-level existence of the ‘Silver-striped Mirage’. The size must be more than one centimeter in diameter, and the required number is three.

Note: The bottom of the Black Sea is very dangerous, and it is recommended that professionals below level 4 take it with caution. ]

[Reward: Watcher Points*900, C-level Mission Badge*1]

[D-level Mission: Purchase a large number of metal ores and ingots such as gray-blue iron, wind copper, star steel, and ghost iron]

[Description: Unlimited purchase of various low- and medium-level metal ores and ingots suitable for magic construction materials. Interested parties can come to the Federation's 'Giant' Chamber of Commerce branch for detailed discussion. ]

…

Since the Last Dragonborn collected tasks from various forces, the mission locations are also all over the world.

Anvis paid special attention to the task of purchasing metal materials for magic construction. This kind of task without rewards is usually posted in the task column of major forces by paying an additional advertising fee.

The Federation's Chamber of Commerce suddenly began to actively purchase low- and medium-level construction materials, which is a somewhat abnormal signal.

In fact, the purchasing department of the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce of Avis also found that the construction materials on the market have suddenly become scarce recently, and even the chambers of commerce that still have goods have significantly raised the shipping prices.

The reason for this is that some chambers of commerce in the Federation suddenly began to buy a large amount of these metal raw materials without any signs, suspected of wanting to drive up their prices.

This is something that many people find puzzling. Obviously, the reserves of these low- and medium-level metal materials are huge, and the biggest use is only to produce low- and medium-level magic guide constructions. Even if they are monopolized in the short term, once the timeline is extended, the price will definitely collapse again.

Some mine owners have begun to prepare to expand the scale of mining in order to take the opportunity to make a fortune.

Avis once predicted this matter when he was free, and easily came to the conclusion that these materials will be used for mass production of magic guide constructions.

As for the reason for the large-scale acquisition, it was an order from the top to speed up the popularization of construction.

Originally, Avis did not take it seriously, but at present, the reserves of construction metal materials of some local chambers of commerce in the Federation seem to be in urgent need.

This level of material shortage made him smell something unusual.

"You can continue to help here, Fiona, but don't leave too far, I have something to do. If you encounter any emergencies that are difficult to deal with, you can also call me or my "companion" urgently."

At present, because there is nothing to do, Fiona sometimes helps Helena deal with some small tasks of the Watcher Association.

And the companion that Avis mentioned refers to the power dragon clone that is invisible in the corner of the hall.

Returning to the two girls, Avis smiled gently, and after carefully instructing them, he turned back to his room.

He had to deal with the Marquis Draka in the floating city first, and then divine the information about the shortage of materials again.

"... I always feel that the fourth brother is not just one year older than me, but has really grown up. It feels like he knows everything."

Fiona wrinkled her nose slightly, looking at Avis's back with some admiration, feeling full of security.

"Your brother is so good to you. Sometimes I actually want to have a brother or sister."

Helena looked at the little girl with some envy. She was raised by Loren since she was a child. She spent most of her childhood practicing singing and getting familiar with various musical instruments. She didn't have any brothers and sisters of the same age to play with.

"Let me tell you, my fourth brother is super good. He told me stories when he was a few years old..."

After the topic turned to Avis, the girl immediately opened up and began to talk about Avis.

Even though many things involved the family and were not convenient to talk about, a few of Avis's deeds also made Helena, who lacked playmates of the same age, sigh again and again.

"...By the way, Helena, if the new emperor takes office, what do you hope she can do?"

As she was talking, Fiona suddenly had an idea.

"Hey? Ask me?"

Helena was stunned for a moment and tried to think about it.

"This... probably because I hope the new Majesty can make peace last longer. Now because of the war, it has become difficult for the Windtalkers to tour the empire."

"Peace? I see."

Fiona nodded, feeling that her goal as a lord was clearer.

.

….….

While the girls were whispering, Avis's main consciousness had returned to the floating city in the deep dream world.

For him, the civil war in the empire was at least not a bad thing.

If it weren't for the civil war between the eldest prince and the fourth princess that held up most of the royal family's power, when the royal family had freed up their hands, someone would have used the secret treasure to find the whereabouts of Marquis Draka.
