Chapter 387: Sivir's Commission
No matter how the outside world changes, the Shurima Empire is currently facing many problems.
In a side hall of the new Naerimajie's palace, Azir has acquiesced to the fact that this place belongs to Sivir.
"I heard that our new emperor is in trouble." Cassiopeia's teasing came from the palace.
Sivir sat in the empty palace with a look of watching the fun:
"Just those ascended gods can't be considered a complete empire. If there are not enough people under its command, it can only be considered a cult organization at most."
The biggest problem of the Shurima Empire at present is that although the new capital has been established, there are not many people coming to join.
It is said that the Shurima continent once belonged to the Shurima Empire, but now the areas of this continent not occupied by Noxus are unusually chaotic.
There are many people who are loyal to the Shurima Empire, and there are also many speculators, but it takes a long time for these to be transformed into real population.
Azir didn't stay in Naerimajie for a few days before he led his sand soldiers to attack and prepare to plunder the population around.
"What is your plan then?" Cassiopeia said with interest, "I don't think you will miss this opportunity to make a fortune now."
"No matter where it is, where there are people, there will be demand, and where there are people, there will be business."
The corners of Sivir's mouth curled up, and her eyes swept back and forth over Cassiopeia:
"If you don't do this business, there will always be someone else who will do it."
"You are interested in the Empire's trade channels? I don't think Azir will rely on the Empire." Cassiopeia smiled.
"Don't you see the arrogance of the Ascended Gods? Ordinary people exist only to highlight their nobility, which is completely different from the Empire." Sivir sneered.
Although they are all Ascended Gods, and have joined the Shurima side, and Sivir is even the crown prince of the Shurima Empire.
But the Empire they are talking about is still only Noxus.
"That's true." Cassiopeia smiled and nodded. "They seem to be kind to the people, but that's just a manifestation of their nobility. I'm afraid no one cares about the real people's livelihood."
"So, I can easily take over the trade supply rights of the entire Shurima, and I can only buy goods from the empire from you."
Sivir leaned forward, her mouth slightly raised.
She didn't continue, but she knew that Cassiopeia understood what she meant.
"Eighty percent of the money I can get belongs to you." Cassiopeia said without thinking.
"Deal!" Sivir answered readily.
Her bottom line is 50%. She knew from the beginning that Cassiopeia would be generous, but she didn't expect her to be generous to this extent.
It can be said that Cassiopeia almost didn't take a penny.
Eighty percent of the benefits were given to her, and at least 20% of the benefits needed to open up relationships with other parties, so there was almost no profit.
But she also knew in her heart that compared to these material money, Cassiopeia cared more about the illusory status and power.
"I will get up and go back to the Empire immediately. I still owe you a lot of money. Do you need me to buy something for you?" Cassiopeia asked.
Just as Sivir thought, she did not value the money earned from this transaction.
She valued the huge network of relationships that this transaction could bring her, as well as the implicit improvement of her status in the Empire.
If she could control the material lifeline of Shurima, then her value to Ryan and the Empire would increase as Shurima's national strength improved.
By then, even if Noxus lost, she could gain a very high status in Shurima with this long-established network.
"What to buy. I do have some needs."
Sivir thought for a while, looked at the empty interior of the golden palace, and shook her head and said:
"Azir's aesthetics are not very good. I am not comfortable living in such a large palace that is only luxurious on the surface."
"Find you a designer from the Empire?" Cassiopeia asked casually.
"I heard that the houses in the Immortal Bastion are all flying in the air." Sivir said.
She had not been to the rebuilt Immortal Fortress, but she could roughly imagine what it looked like through the image of the aerospace battleship flying in the air.
"That's right, the buildings there are all equipped with magic energy, and they flew into the sky using the floating runes designed by His Majesty." Cassiopeia nodded.
"Can we get it?" Sivir asked with interest.
Her current identity was not suitable for going to the Immortal Fortress, otherwise she would have gone there in person.
"It's not a big problem. His Majesty has already delegated the floating runes to civilians, and they can be obtained even without applying to the Trifarian Council. On the contrary, energy is a big problem." Cassiopeia said.
The Empire has never been stingy about spreading its civilian technology, and it doesn't care if others will analyze and imitate it.
A few years ago, she had read all the books on magic, and she could barely understand the technology of the Empire's creations.
But now, when the things are placed in front of her, she can only recognize the material.
After the integration and upgrading of Hextech, mechanical technology, and magic technology, the Empire's magic creations and technological creations have been developing in a direction that she can't understand.
I think this is why the Empire doesn't care about technology leaks.
No mistakes, just read the content of the first post on 6-9-book!
Instead, they use this technology dumping and use energy or other necessary consumables as control to achieve the goal of controlling the lifeline of other countries.
Just like Demacia now, whether it is food, clothing, housing, transportation or military armament, it is inseparable from the supply of Noxus.
Now looking at the trend, Demacia today will be Shurima tomorrow.
"How much does energy cost?" Sivir asked with interest.
She likes money very much, but she likes the enjoyment brought by money.
If she doesn't spend money, then making money will not be attractive to her.
She will never be stingy when she has extra money in her hands and can enjoy it.
Cassiopeia observed the palace and roughly estimated:
"In the past, the K'kao family also had the idea of launching the family castle into the air. I also know about this. If the K'kao Castle is launched into the air, it will consume nearly a thousand Trifarian gold coins every day to maintain it. According to the size of this palace, it is estimated that at least 500 gold coins are needed every day to buy energy."
Hearing this number, Sivir frowned slightly.
It's not too expensive to look at it alone for one day, but it will cost 15,000 gold coins a month and 180,000 Trifarian gold coins a year.
Such daily expenses are not small.
"Can Ascension Energy be used as a substitute?" Sivir asked.
"Ascension Energy should have a way to lift buildings into the air, but unless energy is taken from the sun disk, no Ascension God would be willing to provide such a huge amount of energy." Cassiopeia shrugged.
She seemed to have heard that the earliest technology of floating castles came from ancient Shurima.
But that was during the heyday of Shurima, and there were many Ascension Gods who specialized in studying Ascension Energy.
"Maybe you have to ask Nasus about this." Cassiopeia suggested.
"I will ask him in a few days. He is now rebuilding the Shurima Great Library." Sivir nodded.
After knowing the general situation, she thought for a while and said:
"You go back to the Empire first, and I will leave the matter to you. Of course, you can also bring me some new things. I believe the Empire will not let me down on this point."
"Just wait for my good news." Cassiopeia smiled.
After the two talked for a few more words, Cassiopeia twisted her snake body and left.
