Chapter 479 [0474] Lux's Homework

Establishing an organization dedicated to collecting intelligence is what Karya has long wanted to do - not only because of the Freljord War, but also because Lux now lacks a unique information channel of her own.

When in Shurima, Lux could still rely on Karya's coffin book and some wonderful intelligence provided by Karya to do things, but in the North, near the Freljord, if she wanted to get any intelligence, she had to rely on herself.

On the official side of Demacia, Lux could get first-hand information from the Crownguard family and even the Light Shield royal family.

As for the news from the people, even the news from Freljord, Lux is now completely in the dark. Although she can get a glimpse of the leopard from the rumors in various chambers of commerce or taverns, it is obviously not enough to meet Lux's intelligence needs.

Just like the Freljord War this time - because of this war that has nothing to do with Demacia, the entire northern region is in a state of panic, and the excavation of the artificial lake is almost stopped. If it weren't for the news from Grandma Ling and Avarosa's trade request, Lux would probably still be nervously guarding against "Freljord people who may go south"!

In the past, the Demacia Northern Legion wanted to collect information about Freljord, and could only rely on sending dragon bird knights for high-altitude reconnaissance.

But for Lux, her wrist is undoubtedly much more flexible.

Not only can she rely on Iva to conduct more convenient and larger-scale high-altitude reconnaissance, but she can also use frost mages to conduct reconnaissance directly as icefield travelers!

Although these frost guardians don't know how to reconnaissance at all... But it doesn't matter, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. Frost mages naturally have a special identity in Freljord, and it is not a big problem to inquire about some not-so-important news.

Through these "not so important news", Kalya can conduct special intelligence classes for them, so that they can learn to analyze and identify these news, thus arranging a pair of eyes and ears for Lux on the ice field.

After that, with these "special skilled workers" as the basic framework, and then from special to general, Fosbyro will have its own organization that can obtain and analyze intelligence from various channels!

After all, as the stalls get bigger and bigger, and the lectures of the Archons become more and more detailed, Kalya can't always command a person to follow him to walk the streets and collect information bit by bit, just like he did with Shyvana to conduct the social and economic survey of Fosbyro before. That efficiency is really too low.

And all of this must start from Freljord after the war-after the battle between Avarosa and Winter's Claw, the situation in Freljord will inevitably be in chaos, and muddy water is the best time to fish, and this is the best time to teach the rookies of Group 11!

Lux, Ino and Sona gathered together again and held a brief meeting.

In the next period of time, Ino will take Kalya and the 11th group of frost mages on the "Iva" to fly over the Dragon Ridge Mountains to Freljord to get information.

During this period, because Kalya is not there, the advanced spellcasting course needs to be suspended.

Because the construction of the temporary camp was temporarily suspended for a while in preparation for the war, it is just right to take advantage of Kalya's absence and the suspension of advanced classes to resume the construction period and make up for the previous progress.

The excavation work only needs to be maintained step by step. For example, the "technically difficult subject" such as the planting of trees on the lakeside has now been almost completed. At present, except for the lakeside embankment reinforcement plan after the completion of the main project, there are not many other engineering problems.

"Lux, you will be a truly independent lord for at least the next month." Before leaving, Kalya said with a smile, "You did a good job leading the team from Demacia to Fosbyro last time. I hope there will be no problems this time!"

"Of course there will be no problem!" Lux smiled confidently, "Teacher Kalya, don't look down on me. I was also a beloved leader in Zaun-"

"The situation in Fosbyro is not as simple as Zaun. Before leaving, I will leave you a homework question." Kalya ignored Lux's confident answer and continued on his own, "What impact will the Freljord trade have on Fosbyro and what does it mean to our business? I hope you can give a logical and rational answer based on your understanding of Fosbyro-it can be written or oral."

Lux hasn't been assigned homework for a long time, and even when she was overwhelmed by homework before, she had never been assigned this kind of "predicting the future" homework.

This question is indeed what the Lord of Fosbyro should think about and consider the most.

In the past, as long as Lux was willing to ask, Kalya would always tell Lux everything he could think of. But this time, Kalya just comforted her once and taught her not to make random analogies, and did not elaborate.

Lux thought Kalya would explain it in detail at this meeting, but Kalya left this question as homework to herself!

Suddenly there was an extra homework, and Lux ​​was a little dazed.

"Okay, just think about it slowly - walk more, see more, listen more, this is all I can suggest to you." Kalya seemed very happy to see Lux's confused look, "Let's go, Ino, call the members of Group 11, bring five days of rations, and go to Grandma Ling. I think she should be happy to be your guide and introduce you to Freljord!"

……………………

Kalya walked neatly.

The members of Group 11 had just returned to the temporary camp and started to brag about what they had seen along the way, but they were gathered again, and then, in the eyes of other groups mixed with envy and jealousy, they began to receive supplies per head.

In the evening of the same day, the members of Group 11 left the temporary camp and went to the direction of Fosbyro City.

And Lux, who stayed in the temporary camp, announced the news of resuming work and hosted a bonfire party. After returning to her tent, she couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

It's not that she couldn't sleep without Karya, but the homework Karya left for her really made her sleepless.

In the past, Karya was always responsible for this kind of problems and thinking - as Lux's external brain, Karya could always help Lux deal with problems very appropriately in terms of strategy.

Lux, who was used to trusting Karya, usually only needed to deal with the problems at hand.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, Karya was like a system and NPC that issued tasks. It would always break down a huge problem or a distant goal into problems that Lux could handle, and then hand it over to Lux.

As Lux said, in Zaun, she was once a beloved leader and had organized many projects and activities, but in fact, for each activity, Karya first explained its meaning and role, and then clarified the specific process and handed it over to Lux for specific execution.

Although Lux was also learning to analyze the situation and make plans bit by bit during this process, she still had a big gap compared to the shrewd Karya.

This time, although the homework left for Karya was just "think about the impact of Freljord's trade on Fosbyro and what it means to Lux's career", Lux had a hunch that if her answer satisfied Karya enough, the subsequent trade with Fosbyro might be completely handed over to her.

Realizing this, Lux was nervous and excited.

Although Karya was a very kind person except for a few bad tastes, he rarely praised people in education - sometimes Lux even acted cute and hoped to get some praise, but all he got was a kind and unintentional praise.

Lux respected and even worshipped Karya, so she was very eager to get Karya's praise from the bottom of her heart.

And now, Karya's test is such an opportunity. Lux has already felt Karya's hope for her.

Since they met, Kalja never seemed to worry about his magic talent. Even when climbing Mount Targon, he still arranged everything for himself calmly. But now, for the first time, he handed over the control to himself...

How could Lux ​​not be nervous and excited?

So, the next morning, Sona saw an excited, tired, and even somewhat neurotic Lux.

"You don't seem to have a good rest?" Sona stroked the strings hesitantly, "Lux, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, unprecedentedly good." Lux clenched his fists, "Let's go, Sona, let's have breakfast together. I have a lot of things to talk to you about... I have never been so nervous and excited about an assignment."

Sona blinked, then understood what Lux meant, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching. In the end, she could only nod and have breakfast with Lux.

During this time, Lux kept talking about her ideas and plans. Although she had not yet made strategic plans from the beginning and judged the impact of an event, she had been following Kalya for so long, at least in terms of seeking truth from facts, Lux had already been very clear.

So, according to Lux's idea, she should start from the Chamber of Commerce and first see what impact Freljord's goods can bring to Fosbyro in addition to monetary income.

Sona agreed with Lux's entry point.

After all, according to what Madam Bouvier taught, if you want to understand a certain industry, you have to go to that industry to understand it - since you have to think about the impact of the Northern Trade, it is normal that the first step falls on the Chamber of Commerce.

Then, according to her previous habit in Zaun, Lux began to prepare for the specific questions she needed to investigate when she went to the Chamber of Commerce for investigation.

While preparing the questions, she found some uncertain factors: According to Lux's idea, she needed to make a rough estimate of the content of the Northern Trade, but the current situation was that she only knew some of Fosbyro's specialties and did not know what the Freljord people could sell.

"Fur and ore, these are the only things I'm sure the Freljord people will have." Lux frowned, "It's a bit troublesome - fur and ore are also the main products of Fosbyro. Ores are fine, different types of ores have different uses, and there doesn't seem to be much internal competition, but fur, whether it's fur produced in Freljord or fur produced in Fosbyro, it seems that both the fur produced in Freljord and the fur produced in Fosbyro are used to keep warm."

Then the question is, will the Freljord fur brought by the northern trade have no impact on the current Demacia fur trade because of its small scale, or will it squeeze out the local fur of Fosbyro because of its large scale and too cheap price?

To figure this out, we must first figure out the current fur trade situation in Demacia.

In the current Demacia, is the fur trade in short supply or in excess? Is this situation stable for a long time, or is it in a state of violent fluctuations?

Blinking his eyes, Lux was somewhat surprised to find that he seemed to be able to break down the problem very easily?

After crossing out "asking about fur trade issues", Lux quickly wrote a line below "understand the specific situation of the fur market", then thought for a while and added "understand the fur market and other fur markets".

After these two questions, Lux broke down the questions in detail. For example, after "understand the specific situation of the fur market", she marked a long list of keywords such as price, scale, transportation, channels, output, use, processing, etc.

Faintly, Lux suddenly felt that her behavior was a bit familiar-isn't this what she had been doing when she was investigating in Piltover?

However, at that time, Karya only said that this was to investigate Piltover, and did not say why doing so could understand Piltover in more detail.

Moreover, compared with the previous investigation, Lux seemed to want to know more and more details this time.

Thinking of this, Lux was a little strange. Why didn't Karya need to investigate so much when he wanted to understand Piltover?

Is it because there are too many such investigation experiences, so there is already a certain division in his mind?

Shaking his head, Lux wrote down the question and stopped thinking about it for the time being.

Putting away the investigation details, Lux spent the whole morning on routine supervision on the construction site, and then went straight to Fosbyro City without even having lunch, and started today's investigation.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Sambor, who was checking accounts at the Fosbyro Chamber of Commerce, was surprised to see Count Laxana visiting him.

Then, just as he was wondering why the other party suddenly came here, Lux took out his investigation notes.

"I have some questions about Fosbyro's trade issues." Lux sat upright and looked very serious, "mainly about the fur trade."

Sambor nodded subconsciously when he heard it.

Ask, you are the lord, you have the final say - since Sambor chose to believe in Lux, he is still willing to cooperate with this matter.

Then, as Lux asked the questions he had prepared one by one, Sambor soon lost his ease at the beginning.

Big drops of sweat oozed from his forehead, rolled down his cheeks, and silently soaked his lapel fur coat.

It was true that the questions asked by Count Laxana were all related to the fur trade.

But what Sambor never dreamed of was that he could not answer many of these questions!

Regarding the scale of the fur trade, transportation links, price fluctuations, etc., Sambor could not say that he could answer them easily, but at least he could answer them easily.

But when the questions came to "fur processed products", "fur distribution channels", and "fur trade competition", Sambor was a little confused.

God saw pity, he was just the president of the Chamber of Commerce of Fosbyro, even if the fur trade of Fosbyro did go through his hands, but in the final analysis, he only purchased fur in Fosbyro through the Hunter Guild, and then sold it at the exhibition in Xiongdu according to different qualities. In the final analysis, he did not leave the scope of merchants, and earned the hard-earned money of running errands.

And Lux's questions... made Sambor feel like the controller of the fur trade, asking the same questions in order to better control this trade!

Questions that had never been thought of before came one after another, and ideas that flashed through Sambor's mind came one after another - although Lux was not proficient in trade, she had "studied" in Zaun for three years and returned to the northern border of Demacia. In terms of thinking, she was naturally much higher than Sambor!

Trade is buying low and selling high.

Sambor knew this, and also knew that fur in the north was cheap and fur in Xiongdu was expensive. He had channels on both sides, so he was a distributor of Fosbyro fur.

But Lux's questions were detailed, as if she wanted to find out how much money Fosbyro's fur trade could make, and how much money the entire Demacia fur trade could make - how could Sambor not sweat like rain?

While trembling with fear, Sambor couldn't help but start to think wildly.

Why does Count Laxana care so much about the fur trade?

Could it be that she wants to do something about the fur trade?

But what can she do about the fur trade?

She probably doesn't have a source of fur, right?

Just when Sambor was full of doubts, Lux's question asked about fur purchases, and when Sambor heard this, a light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind.

Who is the most important to the fur trade in Fosbyro?

The Hunter's Guild!

So, Count Laxana wants to cut off the fur trade in Fosbyro and cut off the source of the Hunter's Guild that relies on the fur trade?

Don't forget, it was the Hunter's Guild that was unwilling to cooperate before!

Karya's small class · Primitive Fosbyro trade:

The business and politics of Demacia are closely related, and Fosbyro, which had no lord before, has always been excluded from this political business. In addition, there are not many products of its own. Because the trade is quite primitive, even the Chamber of Commerce can only purchase special products in the North and sell them after defecation to make a profit.
