V4.Chapter 70

Northland Tower.

When she heard a very rhythmic knock on the door, the Eye of the North slowly raised her head, and with the faint magic light, the wizard's hand volleyed all the file files on the high shelf behind her. , Inside the elevated shelf is a volume of dossier collections, the side is the experience notes recorded by many witches, and the back is the books and materials kept by the parliament. What is stored here is quite precious knowledge, and their value may even exceed all the wealth of a kingdom, so this room is covered with fireproof and dustproof magic circles everywhere, and it is also directly incorporated into the huge mystery lock. scope of protection.

"come in."

With the sound of the Eye of the North, a middle-aged witch with an old-fashioned and serious face walked in. She leaned slightly to express her respect for the Eye of the North, and then placed a thick document on the desk, slowly Said: "Your Excellency the Eye of the North! This is the transaction record with the South Coast in the first half of the year, including weapons procurement, trade cooperation and construction of fortifications."

"Our profit in the first half of the year was around 300,000 Kindlers, and the biggest profit was the sale of extraordinary weapons to Modo City."

The Eye of the North took over the document and glanced at it, then nodded and said, "Very good."

The Witch Council is quite rich.

But they are also very short of money, because it takes too many resources to train a witch, and the application within the Witch Council to allocate resources to build a low-level wizard tower has been filled out 30 years later. Although it has a large area of ​​land income in the Northland, because the internal research consumes too much, in fact, the finances of the Witch Council have always been relatively tight. Today, the profit of trading with Modo City is comparable to most of the income of the territory, which makes the Eye of the North satisfied with its wise decision.

As long as this trade line can be maintained, the funds of the Witch Council will become more and more abundant, more talented juniors can be cultivated, and there is room to build one or two new wizard towers.

"Your Mightiness."

The middle-aged witch with a serious face took out another document and said solemnly: "This is the purchase order for Modo City in the second half of the year. Because it feels a little strange, I'll bring it over to show you."

strangeness?

The Eye of the North heard the words and immediately took a look. At first glance, there seemed to be nothing strange. However, compared with the purchase order in the first half of the year, she still quickly discovered the abnormality.

There is a problem in the weapon purchase order!

The Witch Council of the North has the ability to mass produce +1 extraordinary weapons. This is the accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years. Modo City has always had a large number of weapon orders for the Witch Council. These batch-produced +1 extraordinary weapons are sold to Modo City at a relatively cheap price. The quantity has always been It is quite huge, it can be said to be the largest arms transaction in the entire material plane, and it can easily exceed the transaction amount of more than 100,000 Kindlers.

Sometimes because the transaction amount is too large, Modo City directly pays the remuneration with unminted gold.

The elite troops of Modo City have been changing to +1 extraordinary weapons in batches, and the witches of the northern land have long been aware of this. But anyway, they have a good relationship. The council can also make a lot of profit, and no one cares that much!

The problem is with the weapons order.

According to the preliminary statistics of the witches in the north, the weapons purchased by Modo City are enough to arm most of the elites. According to common sense, the demand for weapon purchases should decrease in the second half of the year. But in fact, Modo City's weapons purchase orders in the second half of the year have not decreased, but have nearly doubled year-on-year, and there are even signs of further orders.

That's not weird enough!

What is even more strange is that most of the weapons ordered by Modo City in the first half of the year were one-handed weapons and small and medium-sized weapons, but all the weapons ordered in the second half of the year were medium-sized and above. It even contains a large number of heavy weapons, such as two-handed swords, decapitation swords, two-handed axes, two-handed greatswords, heavy warhammers, large polearms, and more. It seems that such weapons are rarely used in the army, and even adventurers do not use them a lot. However, some races with natural powers like to use such heavy weapons.

There's clearly something tricky in here!

However, the Eye of the North did not have a deep thought. Anyway, it is just a +1 extraordinary weapon, as long as the Witch Council can make enough profits. Double it! She guessed that Sauron had plans to resell weapons. As for who she would sell it to, she could not guess. It might be the forces of the overseas islands, or it might be some other race. Consumed.

"no problem!"

The Eye of the North raised his hand and handed back the order for the second half of the year. Slowly said: "Let the arsenal below speed up the work, and some low-level witches will also assign them some enchanting tasks. The profit can be distributed to them. In the second half of this year, the witch council will mobilize funds to build three more junior wizard towers. So this A trade line can't go wrong."

The middle-aged witch nodded immediately after hearing the words: "Understood. I'll make arrangements now."

The Witch Council was originally a neutral organization.

For any neutral organization, its own interests are always the most important. The rise of the Witch Council has always inherited something that is not very clean. Right and wrong are far less important in their eyes than the pursuit of arcane truth.

"correct."

Before leaving, the middle-aged witch turned around and said, "The messengers from Modo City came over today to ask your Excellency when to watch the ceremony. They need to prepare in advance."

The Eye of the North glanced up and said slowly, "I will arrive a day earlier."

"I haven't seen Gloria for a long time, and I don't know how she is progressing. This girl has a stubborn personality. I hope her choice will not be wrong."

sigh.

As a powerful legendary spellcaster, she has sensed the fluctuations of fate.

A certain kind of unease made her aware, and it became more and more obvious that it would be a very terrible disaster, and even she sometimes felt powerless.

The stars are getting dim.

The incarnations of the gods have begun to appear in the mortal world, and when the gods cannot be high above, then all the order in the mortal world will be strongly impacted!

………………

Modo City.

Since the soldiers lined up, a dignified atmosphere has been brewing in the entire military camp. Even an idiot can feel the coming of war. Modo City is about to launch a war that expands to the outside world.

Many people secretly lurking near Modo City are aware of this, but what worries them is that they don't know where Modo City will attack.

When they learned that Modo City was only dealing with the nearby indigenous tribes, many nervous forces finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't know when!

Modo City has become a force that scares them!
