Chapter 3016: High Debt

Benjamin's inquiry was obviously from a personal perspective and not on behalf of the Magic Empire.

If he joins this plane invasion in a private capacity, Locke wouldn't mind taking him with him.

"That is a medium-sized water world dominated by water elements. At least so far, we have not found any large-scale continent in that world. Are you sure you want to join it?" Locke asked strangely.

A fifth-level fire elementalist has to fight in a deep sea full of water vapor. This seems extremely weird no matter how you look at it.

"It doesn't matter, I'm just passing the time anyway." Benjamin waved his hand and said.

A free thug, don't use it in vain, Locke then nodded and said, "I will inform you when the war starts."

...

After leaving the Star Tower, Locke went to the Star Port.

Tesla, the alchemist master of the Sky City, let him go after all.

It was promised that it would be delivered within four years at the latest, but the time limit has expired. Only one of the two modified third-generation space fortresses promised by Tesla is currently in place.

On the other hand, the six space fortresses built by the Commercial Alliance Capecchi are now in place and docked at Lockstar Port.

With seven third-generation space fortresses in place, Rockstar Port has become extremely crowded in recent years.

Fortunately, the anxious war between the Anti-Light Protoss Alliance and the Alibaba Chamber of Commerce has greatly reduced the frequency of contacts, so it did not cause much chaos in Locke's star port.

"There will be a space fortress arriving in the near future. That space fortress is larger, almost 1.5 times the size of the ordinary third-generation space fortress. You must prepare in advance." Locke said half of the branch of the Starport Knights Hall. God-level knight Thain demanded.

"Okay, Lord Locke." Although there was some curiosity in Thain's eyes, he still replied respectfully.

With the continuous advancement of magic alchemy technology in the wizarding world, in the minds of the majority of knights and magicians, the size of the space fortress will become smaller and smaller in the future.

Why did Locke's third-generation space fortress grow nearly 1.5 times in size?

Although the figure of 1.5 times is not high, it is enough to frighten any small creature when seen intuitively. (first published by Zongheng)

The reason is that Tesla added a lot of "private goods" to Locke's space fortress.

In addition to a main cannon with astonishing power, the two secondary cannons also have the minimum standard for firing the 'world-destroying death ray'.

In addition, Tesla also installed a magic electromagnetic rail gun directly in front of the bottom of the space fortress.

This is one of the most advanced alchemical products in the wizarding world.

In terms of overall power, the Magic Energy Electromagnetic Railgun may be almost the same as the Space Fortress main gun, but its characteristics are 'penetration' and 'concealability'.

It takes too long to gather energy for the main cannon of the space fortress, especially if the world-destroying death ray is to be released, at least hundreds of magicians will be required to join forces to cast spells.

This magic electromagnetic rail gun does not have so many drawbacks and requirements. The only flaw is that this thing cannot be used multiple times.

It can only be released once every six months. If the frequency is too high, Locke may have to prepare for the possibility that his space fortress will self-destruct at any time.

Locke was quite satisfied with Tesla's self-assertion, which at least proved that he threw in 20 million magic coins and listened to the sound.

As for whether Tesla can bring any surprises to him in the future, it depends on Locke's luck.

...

Star port operation area.

Locke met the fourth-level magician Dimion, the representative of the Business Alliance Capecchi.

As a level four powerhouse with more 'businessman' attributes than 'spell caster' attributes, Locke thinks that Demien has not improved much in strength over the years.

This magician has changed the direction of his lifelong study from truth to money and wealth.

It cannot be said that Demien did something wrong. It can only be said that everyone has their own pursuits.

Who can guarantee that the value of money is not as good as the truth?

"Knight Locke, you are so rich, why are you applying for a loan from our Capecchi?" In the operation area, looking at several behemoth space fortresses and more smaller aircraft shuttled and docked, Dimi asked En was envious and said to Locke with a wry smile.

Is Locke rich?

Of course he is rich!

For the current star port alone, Capecchi's overall value assessment is no less than one billion magic coins!

Of course, it is not that the foundation of the star port built by Locke is worth so much money, but that most of the shops in this star port and its position in the transaction process with the Alibaba Star World Wanderers Chamber of Commerce Values ​​such as status are calculated into the result.

Moreover, this huge star port is still a hen that lays golden eggs. Locke does not need to do anything. It will naturally continue to increase in value in the future.

Demien believes that if Locke intends to sell his star port and promises to package and sell those trading channels. Capecchi will probably use 1.5 billion magic coins, or even a maximum of 2 billion, to buy it from Locke.

Unfortunately, Locke has no idea of ​​​​taking action on Starport.

Moreover, this sixth-level knight, who seemed to Demien to be extremely wealthy, had just applied for a 100 million loan from Capecchi some time ago.

Locke applied for this 100 million loan, naturally to pay for the purchase of eight space fortresses.

It's interesting to say that Locke's approach is quite different.

It was like he spent Capecchi's money and finally bought his favorite items from Capecchi.

The price Locke has to pay for this is that he needs to pay Capecchi millions of magic coins in interest compensation every hundred years until he pays off the 100 million magic coins.

This is not the first time that Locke has applied for a loan from the business alliance Capecchi. Prior to this, Locke had owed Capecchi more than 100 million in total.

As a sixth-level knight of Locke, a loan of more than 200 million is nothing at all.

Locke has enough ability to repay, and Capecchi has enough reason to believe that Locke can repay.

However, Locke's practice of continuing to borrow money even though he was clearly in debt made Demien happy but also a little helpless.

Demien was happy because Locke's behavior was of great benefit to him and Capecchi behind him.

Just the interest compensation every hundred years is enough for Capecchi to make a fortune.

External lending is a long-term business. Almost 70% of the owners of holy towers or knight halls in the wizarding world have applied for basic loans from Capecchi.

And Dimien was helpless because he knew that although Capecchi made money in the process, Locke definitely didn't lose either!

The rapid development of the wizarding world and the construction of the wizarding alliance system over the years alone have caused problems such as inflation, rising prices, and the depreciation of magic coins, which are enough to make up for the interest losses caused by Locke's continued loans to Capecchi.

This is a very simple financial loophole, but unfortunately there are not many strong people above level four in the wizarding world.

Perhaps some spellcasters have also discovered this phenomenon, but they are innately attached to the spirit of contract, and are not used to being like Locke, who casually owes hundreds of millions of magic coins.
