Chapter 357 Testing each other
Chapter 359 Matthew’s “conspiracy” (3 updates)
It stands to reason that the El elves can resist the Cole elves kingdom.
Whether it is military combat effectiveness or magic technology, they should be quite strong.
Why are you so interested in "blood-activating potion", a primary potion?
Actually, the problem is very simple!
Because there are so few spellcasters!
That’s the contradiction between caster cost and necessity!
Even the Cole Elf Kingdom, whose strength surpasses the entire Western Continent.
There are more spellcasters than any other country.
But compared to the total population of hundreds of millions, they are still a minority.
Things like going to the battlefield and working hard need to be filled by other professionals.
After all, who makes the talent to become a spellcaster so rare?
After all, even the Cole Elf Kingdom cannot possibly go to great lengths to cultivate like the Gulf Territory.
Just because there are so few spellcasters, magic supplies naturally become expensive.
Not only because of the materials, but also because of the labor costs invested in it!
From a national level, as a domestic "treasured force", a spellcaster "slightly equal to the ruling class".
How can we become a coolie producing magic potions?
Strategic material reserves such as "primary healing potion" are essential.
Naturally, the price cannot drop too low!
50 silver coins is already the lowest price squeezed to the extreme.
Because of this, it is difficult for adventurers without channels to buy it at this price.
This is true for primary healing potions, let alone items such as enchanted equipment that are more time-consuming, labor-intensive and resource-intensive.
This is one of the reasons why the Gulf Territory attracts many adventurers and obeys their orders.
The Cole Elf Kingdom is still like this, and the El Elves are facing tremendous pressure from being suppressed by them.
The cost and resource investment of "spellcasters" are naturally even more stretched.
If you can purchase a large amount of cheap "blood-activating potions" in the Gulf Territory, it will naturally greatly reduce the pressure on the Elf Kingdom.
The saved manpower and resources can be invested in more efficient and urgent areas.
For example, cultivating higher-quality magic plants can earn dozens or hundreds of gold coins in a week.
However, with the same resources and manpower, only a few gold coins of "primary healing potion" can be produced.
Paris and Ani naturally realized this, so they seemed so excited.
Licking the corner of his mouth slightly, Paris didn't notice it at all. He had been in the human world for a long time and subconsciously learned these actions. He pretended to be surprised and said:
"Oh? The blood-activating potion can be compared to the primary treatment potion, which is really hard currency!"
"I thought that the right to sell such good things has been divided up."
Butler Ralph, who was standing nearby and smiling silently, would naturally not tell them clearly.
Currently, there are 12,000 "voluntary" contribution trolls in the Gulf Territory.
4,000 trolls "sacrifice" themselves every day, and a total of 160,000 blood-activating potions can be produced!
In order to manufacture and assemble medicine bottles for blood-activating medicine, the urgently expanded glass factory currently has 3,000 workers and is still recruiting.
In addition to the 10,000 bottles stored, the remaining 150,000 bottles will be divided up by adventurers and the Thorn Merchant Guild.
If they both wanted it, how much could they ask for?
Matthew, who understood their deep meaning, smiled and shook his head and said:
"Haha, actually in order to sell these blood-activating potions, we have spent a lot of effort."
"If you two can help us digest some of it, we would be happy to ask for it."
After all, there have been a lot of things happening in the Gulf Territory recently, which will inevitably attract more people's attention.
Especially the massive amounts of "blood-activating potions" that are constantly being sold abroad will definitely attract investigation by interested parties.
If production continues to increase, it is estimated that many people will be interested in this gold mine in the Gulf Territory.
In fact, many people have approached the Thorn Chamber of Commerce, but fortunately, they have been pushed back by Adam Smith, who has greatly increased his strength.
Therefore, if the El Elves can help the Gulf Territory absorb more and more production, it can be regarded as solving a big problem.
With his heart pounding, Paris was a little afraid to cause trouble, but he knew that this opportunity was rare.
This time they met Lord Matthew, who was willing to have a good relationship with them.
If Lord Matthew feels that his kindness has been rejected, he might become angry?
However, if they really purchase a large amount of blood-activating potion, their identity will be exposed.
At that time, the Gulf Territory may not dare to trade with them due to pressure from the Cole Elf Kingdom?
This has happened many times!
Just when Paris was hesitating, Ani next to her suddenly agreed excitedly:
"The lord thinks highly of us, so we are naturally willing to contribute to the development of the Gulf Territory."
"Excluding the funds to purchase other supplies, we still have a total of 200,000 gold coins left. We hope to buy 500,000 blood-activating potions..."
Aini didn't think too much, because she knew very well that "if you want others to not know, you have to do nothing yourself."
Their transaction with the Gulf Territory will be discovered sooner or later.
By that time, it is not certain whether the transaction can continue.
It is better to accumulate more supplies and relieve as much pressure as possible before being discovered.
Without any hesitation, Matthew smiled and nodded at them:
"No problem. You can contact Butler Ralph. You don't have to leave in a hurry. You can try the different flavors and types of delicacies in our bay area first."
Paris and Ellie, who had different thoughts about Matthew's retention, did not choose to stay after all.
They want to complete the transaction as quickly as possible to avoid long nights, and the kingdom really needs these supplies.
After handling their affairs, Butler Ralph looked at their leaving figures thoughtfully, quickly returned to the study, and asked curiously:
"Their identities are somewhat mysterious. Do you want to conduct some investigation?"
Matthew knew the methods of the Cole Elf Kingdom, so he smiled and shook his head:
"As long as they have enough money, and the empire has not explicitly prohibited trading with them, then they are just a huge caravan, and a very generous one at that."
Seeing Butler Ralph nodding thoughtfully, Matthew did not forget to comfort and enlighten him:
"Our top priority is to develop the territory as quickly as possible."
"As long as we are strong and confident, many things will no longer be a problem."
Seeing that Matthew had his own plan, Butler Ralph chose to believe it without hesitation, and turned around to deal with other things.
Only Matthew silently looked at the map of the Western Continent, his eyes fell on the position of the El Elf, and he said leisurely:
"I will give you whatever you want until you all use my things!"
