Chapter 772 Propaganda
Princess Paola looked at Avis nervously. After all, most powerful people have strange tempers. She was worried that Avis would take the proposal of her follower as an insult and get angry.
But what she didn't expect was that Avis showed a look of approval.
"... OK, 110,000 imperial gold coins, payable immediately."
After looking at the nervous Princess Paola and the angry Landon for a few seconds, Avis directly quoted the price.
"You are robbing!"
Landon was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but get even more angry.
"This is a very reasonable price, which combines the potential loss caused by the loss of a big customer and the credit loss caused to the Chamber of Commerce if you let everyone pass."
Avis was calm and even explained the source of this price.
But what he didn't say was that even if everyone solved Vashashi, the next noble who came to power would still buy military constructs from the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce and the Ever Gold Crown Chamber of Commerce, so the customer loss actually refers to Vashashi's personal purchase amount.
"...Okay, we are willing to pay this price."
Princess Paola looked at him in confusion after the last dragon descendant tried to hint with her eyes. In the end, she took out the magic crystal card of 110,000 gold coins to pay the bill with the idea of spending money to avoid disaster.
Even if they may not be unable to take down Avis, it is difficult to end the battle within three minutes, and the aftermath of the battle is likely to destroy the clues.
"The transaction is over, then, please do as you please."
Putting away the magic crystal card casually, Avis nodded, walked to one side, and hung the rapier in his hand back on the display board on the wall.
"I hope you can also consider how much gold coins you need to prepare for the ransom in case you are accidentally captured by the "bandits" in the future."
When entering the teleportation room, the three seventh-level mages who were originally responsible for watching Avis couldn't help but threaten, but in return, Avis just laughed another strange laugh.
"You are Landon, right?"
However, when Landon passed by, Avis suddenly spoke to him.
"You know my name? But I have nothing to say to you, Lord Raphael."
When his name was called suddenly, Landon stopped for a moment, turned his head slightly, looked at Avis with a cold expression, and emphasized the sentence "I have nothing to say to you".
"Lord Vio once mentioned you to me. He once said that you have the "qualification of a king". I have to say that what he said makes sense."
However, Avis didn't care about Landon's cold attitude. After all, he was not prepared to have a good relationship with anyone with this identity.
I stopped Landon specifically just to give Landon the reputation of "qualification of a king" in the live broadcast of the last dragonborn, so as to enhance his reputation among players.
As for what is "qualification of a king"?
Find it yourself!
"Do you know Lord Vio? Where is he now?"
Unexpectedly hearing the name Vio, Landon temporarily put aside his prejudice against Avis and asked a question.
After making a name for himself in the Spark Organization, he once returned to the city of Malamos in the Kingdom of Morn to repay the kindness of Lord Vio.
However, since Vio had long disappeared, after searching for him several times, Landon had to give up.
Unexpectedly, he heard the name again from Raphael, the head of the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce today.
"Unfortunately, I don't know where he is now. The last time I saw him was three months ago at the special material exchange meeting in Duran City."
Facing Landon's expectant eyes, Avis shook his head. He was not going to let Vio meet Landon under the guise of Vio for the time being, as Landon's current fate had not yet developed to that point.
"Okay, I understand."
Landon was a little disappointed that he didn't get the news he wanted, but he had to leave.
"I knew, Landon, that Vio is definitely a very hidden existence!"
Dark Crow shouted in Landon's heart, as if he had discovered some incredible secret.
"To know someone like Raphael, Vio either has a strong background or has hidden his strength. You can't find him, maybe he is hiding and doesn't want to meet you."
"I know, Lord Dark Crow, but Lord Vio has no ill will towards us from beginning to end."
Having a headache from the Dark Crow's noise, Landon had to defend Vio.
"... Humph, maybe he is secretly plotting something."
The Dark Crow began to mutter in a low voice, and Landon could only pretend not to hear.
"After this incident is over, I wonder if your Chamber of Commerce still welcomes us to continue ordering goods?"
After locking the landing point of the teleportation ripple, Princess Paola stood in the teleportation array and looked deeply at Avis.
"Of course, in business, the background of the customer is not important to us. As long as there is enough profit, we are willing to sell everything that can be sold."
Nodding slightly, Avis made a "please" gesture.
"If I pay enough, can I buy the rope here to hang you on the streetlight in the future?"
Hearing this, the last dragonborn couldn't help but say one last joke before leaving.
"We can't sell something that doesn't exist."
Giving the last dragonborn a strange look, Avis spoke gently.
.
….….
Vashashi finally failed to escape and was intercepted by Landon and his group just one step away from the base camp, and then defeated and captured.
Of course, someone still came to hand over the batch of constructs that had been negotiated before, but the people who handed over had changed to some new faces.
The state of the Black Feather Kingdom quickly began to unify under some kind of force, and eventually it became a fight between the Paola and Altmo camps.
The business of the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce is still in full swing. Although the ruling class has changed, the magic constructs needed for the civil war still need to be purchased from him.
Even if some people want to get rid of this state and spontaneously organize constructors to study new combat constructs, they eventually find that the finished products that have been developed with a lot of time and money are not only backward in all attributes, but the average cost is even higher than the price of buying finished products directly from the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce.
In addition to the future black technology developed by Anvis, the emergence of this situation is more importantly due to the huge plan of the Speaker, which has led to a shortage of low- and medium-level construction materials in the Federation and soaring prices.
But Anvis was able to buy a large number of low- and medium-level materials from the Empire through the channels of the Olivendi family, and then dump them at a price that was only slightly higher than the cost price and labor costs (and the maintenance costs of the undead laborers).
Because Anvis didn't care how much money he could make, all he needed was the fate feedback brought about by this behavior.
Every war in the Federation involved the constructions produced by his factory. Now, this is no longer a lie.
Many people began to attack him in newspapers, saying that he was a demon who pushed the war behind the scenes, and that he was at least 30% responsible for the war in the Federation, and pointed out that the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce was suspected of smuggling combat constructions in large quantities to the rebel organizations.
Anvis had to stand up to refute the rumors. His original intention of running the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce was just because he felt sorry for the miserable conditions of the soldiers who were injured in the war.
For this reason, he gave up high profits and resolutely provided equipment to all those in need at cost price, just to allow all soldiers to use high-quality and low-cost equipment and minimize the casualties of the soldiers.
Even if he didn't sell any of his constructs, the war wouldn't stop. The sharply rising prices of constructs would only cause the army to run out of money, and the soldiers would have to wear tattered equipment on the battlefield, with a higher chance of getting injured.
As for smuggling supplies to the rebels, it was nonsense. All his business activities were in compliance with local laws, and there was no smuggling.
Then, under the attack of Anvis's gold coins and navy, this evil trend that smeared his reputation was quickly cleared.
The identities of those rumormongers were also exposed. They were all people sent by other chambers of commerce and forces that were affected by their interests to throw dirty water.
Master Raphael, who was as kind-hearted as an angel, still couldn't bear to see the suffering of civilians today.
