Chapter 1041 The Plague Lord’s request list? This should be done first!
The flow of people and materials naturally brings wealth.
The increase in wealth has improved the living standards of the people. The people of the Eagle Country attribute these to the blessings of God and praise the Eagle God and the Snake God more devoutly.
The pious praises of the people increased the power of the Eagle God and the Snake God, making them even more eager for a large supply of vaccines...
If the vaccine can be widely spread in the lowlands, more people can go to the jungle to collect and hunt, bringing them more wealth;
If the vaccine can be widely spread in the lowlands, the people will be able to cut down and open up the jungle, so that they can grow more corn and pumpkins, as well as more delicious sweet grass;
To say the least, being able to popularize vaccines in the lowlands is also a symbol of the dominance of the Eagle God and the Snake God! Protect the people and protect them from the plague, and more people will believe in them and bring them stronger
the power of!
"The power of the Eagle God and the Snake God has become stronger." On the edge of Tenoch City, in the towering Mage Tower, the Archmage in charge of the Mage Tower looked at the readings given by the tower spirit and remained silent for a long time:
"Although it is very slow, it is definitely getting stronger. It is speculated that it is related to absorbing a large amount of faith power. It is speculated that it is related to the recent widespread popularization of vaccines..."
"Do we need to reduce the supply of vaccines to slow down their growth rate?" A young mage asked impatiently at the round table. Several magicians exchanged looks. Finally, Archmage Heins shook his head slowly:
"No need. Before the airship left, Baierbo and I communicated with them once. Whether it is the snake god or the eagle god, an 18th-level archmage is enough to compete. It is not that easy to advance to level 19 -
—””
The 18th-level necromancer smiled sinisterly. A skeleton floated faintly on the black robe, and then he opened his mouth, and his upper jaw and lower jaw collided:
"And, even if they advance to level 19, the council will still have enough power to suppress them. They will stay sane. If they cannot stay sane, the council will help them stay sane."
There was a sound of exhalation in the conference room. The magicians relaxed back in their chairs and smiled at each other. The host of the Mage Tower applauded gently:
"Then, the production and supply of the vaccine will be left to you. By the way, here is a list of our needs... Then, the news came from the parliament, hoping to occupy a number of plantations in the Eagle Country
and mining areas..."
Archmage Heins: "..."
Are they really using us as coolies?
We are responsible for the production, but we are also responsible for the negotiation? You just place the order?
no!
"We are responsible for production, and you are responsible for negotiating! Leave it all to us. How do we know what you need urgently, what you don't need urgently, what you must get, and what you can give in to?"
"But when it comes to vaccines, you contact each other directly!"
"We are just a research institute, and you are the personnel who represent the parliament!"
The two archmages quarreled, glared, and slapped the table. After struggling for a while, Mage Tower reluctantly agreed to join the negotiation. Archmage Heins breathed a sigh of relief and immediately threw out two orders:
"This is the demand list of the institute... used to supply the daily needs of researchers, advanced needs, and the research needs of the institute..."
There is a long list, rich in content and all-inclusive. From gold coins and silver coins used for salary payment (can be converted using contribution points, or can be converted using local coarse gold and coarse silver);
To the daily diet of mutton, beef, fish, shrimps and crabs (which need to be transported by special personnel and kept fresh), fruits, vegetables and drinks;
xiaoshuting.org
Then to the supply of various magic crystals used for meditation and adjusting elements, to the various glassware and instrument spare parts in the research institute (it is best to have a small glass workshop for daily use);
Then to various mice, chickens, rabbits, dogs, monkeys, and their feed...
"Why do you still need sparkling water? We supply 30 liters a day and ask for it to be iced... I say you are all in the New World, so your requirements should be lower!"
"Please, how can we live in such a hot place without iced sparkling water? The work in the institute is so stressful, why don't we let people drink some sparkling water?"
"No! I don't have any here either! At most I'll give you baking soda and sugar, and you can prepare it yourself! There is no refined white sugar, only local coarse sugar. If you want the best quality, refine it yourself!"
"Fish and shrimp are provided once a week! If you want more fresh products, you can buy them yourself! - Their white eagle warriors flew with all their might and couldn't even fly here in a day!"
"...Hey! I want you to talk, I want you to talk to the Eagle Country, don't talk to us!"
After a lot of fussing, complaining, and struggling, this list was finally sorted out into those that definitely needed to be discussed, those that were best discussed, and those that couldn’t be discussed, it didn’t matter, and were put aside.
The mages in the mage tower just breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Archmage Heins touch his left wrist with his right hand, and took out another list from his space equipment that looked like a knitted bracelet:
"!!!What is this!"
"Oh, this, this is the need of our Plague Lord and Miss Serira..."
"..."
"..."
"Okay, put this list at the top, and we'll try our best to do it for him..."
Archmage Heins inhaled, exhaled, inhaled again, and exhaled again. There were ghostly shadows on the black robe, and if it weren't for the fact that the skeleton had no eyes, he would have almost rolled his eyes:
Why is it that his demand is to "do the best we can" while our research institute's demand is to be picky and omit more than half of it?
"Because what others ask for are cultivation resources, unlike you, who only ask for food and drink..."
The needs of the Mage Tower turned into orders when they arrived in the Eagle Country. The indigenous slaves worked hard to farm and raise them to provide the magicians with corn, pumpkins, various vegetables and common meat;
The warriors went deep into the jungle to hunt all kinds of monsters;
The White Eagle warriors specially arranged a route to fly from the port to Tenoch City, delivering the catch from the seaside to the mages and the nobles of Tenoch City...
And this kind of exchange also attracted the attention of the Storm Islands. Pirates, or people who usually do business and become pirates when they have the opportunity, gathered a steady stream of information to the Governor's Mansion:
"The Eagle Country has been making a lot of moves recently."
"Yes, the pirates said that there has been a lot more communication between the coast and the interior."
"This is the cat's eye stone they bought from the port... Such a cat's eye stone, the size of a little finger, smooth, moist, well-proportioned in color, without flaws, and with cat's eye halo, only costs 50 gold coins! 50 gold coins!
"
"You can't even buy it with 100 gold coins here... If you send it to Brolin Kingdom, it will be at least twice as much. If you send it to the Glory Holy City, it will be set into rings on the hands of ladies or pendants of bishops. It can be worth more than 100 gold coins."
Thousand gold coins!”
"They have opened many plantations along the river, planting sugar cane, vanilla, allspice, coffee beans and various crops... In the long run, the things in our plantations will not be easy to sell!"
"Get a wave?"
"...It's not appropriate now." The new archbishop, Archbishop Bello Coelho in golden robes, who was sent by the Glory Holy City to preside over the situation, slowly shook his head:
"We have limited manpower and cannot launch a war against the Eagle Country for the time being. It is not our territory in the first place. Even if we cannot occupy it, it is not lost. What's more, that loser in Teramo has lost too many good people..."
Governor Balmond sighed in disappointment. Among the masters he lost was one of his personal guards, a level 14 great swordsman who was about to reach level 15. It was really heartbreaking.
If such a person is lost, how many resources will be needed to cultivate him...
"However, you can encourage the pirates to harass. Find someone to spread the news. The Eagle Country has rich gold mines, and there are a few maps..."
"Your Excellency is wise!" Governor Balmond immediately gave a thumbs up and praised:
"Those pirates, what impresses them most is gold! As long as there is gold, they are willing to carry the ship over the mountains and through the rainforest!"
Moreover, those pirates could not cast steel knives, repair ships, make wine, or weave beautiful silks... let alone pray to God, receive treatment and holy water...
The things they robbed will eventually be returned to the city of La Habana...
The relationship between the rulers of the Storm Islands and the pirates is originally one and two, two and one. No ruler openly condones the pirates, but every ruler will secretly use and restrain the pirates——
Rely on them to gain wealth, rely on them to attack dissidents, rely on them to intimidate disobedient people...
"By the way, make the map look more like it, and add some blood or something to make it look like it was secretly hidden by the people brought out by the former deputy governor and the former archbishop!"
With the intentional or unintentional promotion of the governor and the archbishop, pirates gradually sneaked into the territory of the Eagle Kingdom, especially the lowlands under the plateau.
Unlike serious businessmen, pirates' ships are light and small, and can be parked anywhere and drilled into any forest——
On the long beach, you can just find a place to park the boat, and you can put down a group of people and sneak in with the map. Go! Go! As long as you can touch the mine and get the gold, you can make a fortune!
It is said that in that mine, a handful of sand was picked up by the stream, and there were gold particles in it. Someone tripped over the gold while walking!
"There have been a lot more outsiders coming recently." On the coast of the port, the magician guarding the mage tower adjusted the invisible servants and controlled them to scan the surrounding hundreds of miles over and over again. The secret eyes carried by the invisible servants projected a screen of light, revealing
Sneaky figure:
"If you don't enter the port, don't take the main road, and just dodge and take the side roads... you are definitely not a good person!"
"Should we notify the surrounding tribes and strengthen their vigilance? Or arrest them?"
"No... the previous plan can be launched." The presiding mage looked at the recent patrol records and found with satisfaction that the number of people wandering ashore has reached more than a hundred people every day:
"Inform the surrounding tribes. If you see these people who don't take the main road, lure them into the forest... into the dense forest! After you have lured them away, report to us and we will be rewarded!"
