Chapter 486

Since the opening of the trade routes in the underground world, Haier zhuom has become the hottest place in the Ilus empire. A large number of adventurers and chambers of Commerce have gathered here. In just a few months, based on the supply points designed by Donne, a large-scale village and town has been formed here.

The larger the flow of people, the larger the scale of the transaction here, the more Downe's profits, and the smile on Gus's face, who has become the head of the manager here, is also more and more - however, with the succession of new king Gillard and Ellington's declaration of independence, Gus never showed a smile again.

For no other reason, herzom's territory belongs to the direct jurisdiction of the kingdom. If it is not within the ruling area of Ellington, it will naturally be unable to enjoy Ellington's asylum.

It can be said that with Ellington's declaration of independence, Gus has hardly slept well these days.

He feared that he would wake up and see the sword of the imperial army.

But the news from Ellington is to let him continue to operate without paying attention to the impact of these things - how can he not care!

Just as Gus was terrified all day, Donne came.

With a flash of light on the transmission array, Donne, Aurelia and OLINA in disguise came to heldrom, while Gus, who received the news first, had been waiting in the room for a long time.

"Lord."

Gus saluted respectfully.

"Well, how's it going lately?"

Donne nodded slightly and asked casually.

Gus quietly glanced at Aurelia and OLINA behind Donne, then looked back and whispered, "it's still stable at present, but with the arrival of the merchant, the news of alinks has spread among the adventurers. I'm afraid..."

Donne raised his eyebrows and said, "go out first."

The party left the room where the transmission array was located and came to the village at the bottom of the mine. At present, the scale of the village has expanded several times than before, almost completely covering the bottom of the whole mine. Most of the bustling crowd are adventurers from all over Ilus, as well as some adventurers and businessmen from other countries.

Adventurers enter the underground world from here to explore and collect all kinds of rare treasures and materials. Businessmen come here to sell at a high price with the supplies and goods needed by adventurers. Then they buy all kinds of rare underground world specialties from here, take them back to their hometown and sell them, and they can make a lot of money.

Of course, there are risks. Whether it's Warcraft on the road, bad weather, or arrogant mountain bandits, they may lose their money, but the high profit difference makes those businessmen dare to take risks.

Therefore, large chain organizations such as mercenary guild and Star Diamond bank have set up branches here. Many adventurers and mercenaries who do not want to enter the underground world will also receive a large number of escort tasks here, and can also earn a lot of commissions.

It can be said that since the entrance of the underground world appeared and Donne opened the business road of the underground world, it has completely become a gold mining holy land. The daily traffic and transaction scale have even surpassed some medium-sized cities, and are still further expanding.

In the past, heldrom was always full of lively trading atmosphere, but now the overall atmosphere is dull. The faces of pedestrians on the street are full of worries about the future. Some adventurers who have just returned from the underground world can't believe the new news.

"What? Your majesty Victor is dead?"

"What? Prince Gillard succeeded?"

"What? Ellington declared independence?"

These adventurers looked confused. They didn't expect that when they were still exploring the underground world and trading py with the dark elves in deep water, the surface world suddenly changed.

The expression was like Yongzheng who heard that the Qing Dynasty was dead.

Victor's death naturally has nothing to do with them, and Gillard's succession will not affect the lives of adventurers. To their surprise, Ellington announced independence and won the support of Princess Aurelia and queen OLINA - how can they accept that so many things have happened in a short time?

What's more incredible is that Lord Donne of Ellington publicly announced that Prince Gillard was controlled by heretics, and the death of the former king Victor was an out and out conspiracy!

Some people with sensitive sense of smell have noticed the uneasiness. Ellington's public declaration of independence is a precursor to the division of the Empire again?

Even a sign of the beginning of the war?

"The number of businessmen has decreased a lot recently."

As he led the way, Gus whispered, "I'm afraid we all smell the smell of war and plan to make a war fortune. Shall we reduce some tax rates and attract businessmen? Otherwise, the supply here is very problematic."

It is a well-known thing that in war, people with enough courage can always earn a lot. Once the war breaks out, the price of grain, ore, weapons and armor, various herbs, and even the originally expensive alchemy potion will rise.

Before the war broke out completely, first buy a batch of goods at a low price and stock them. Then sell them at a high price after the war broke out. They can make a lot of money just by changing hands. How can those businessmen give up this opportunity?

"It's up to them. There won't be a lack of market for specialties here."

Don shook his head.

"But a lot of food is consumed here every day..."

Gus said with a headache: "heldrom has no cultivated land. The food here depends on businessmen. If there is not enough supplies from businessmen, there will be chaos here soon."

"The problem of food supply will be handed over to Ellington, and food will be transported through the conveyor array when necessary."

Gus was surprised: "but the transportation cost..."

Although the transmission array is convenient, each transmission needs to consume expensive magic crystal. Compared with the value of magic crystal, the value of food delivered is a drop in the bucket.

"Transportation costs don't matter," Donne waved. "Ellington doesn't need money now."

That's true. Although the market of yarinks has been closed, similarly, there is no need to pay taxes on the sales this month after the declaration of independence. The net profit has doubled several times. Millions of gold coins have been paid in this month alone, which has caught up with the annual tax revenue of many small and medium-sized cities.

"I see."

Gus nodded: "by the way, Lord, if your majesty Gillard..."

Donne frowned: "we have declared independence. Gillard is not your majesty."

Gus's heart jumped: "Your Majesty Donne..."

Dumne cried, "I'm not king again. Don't yell. Your royal highness and your royal highness are all there."

Gus took a breath of air-conditioning when he heard the speech. The two cloaked people behind the LORD were Princess Aurelia and queen OLINA!?

Thinking of the requirements in the previous letter, Gus suddenly noticed something. His legs softened and he almost knelt on the ground.

Lord, I'm going to play a big game this time

"Lord..."

"I know what you want to say. If Gillard attacks here, you will withdraw our people through the transmission array. Don't worry about the others. If Gillard is not crazy, he shouldn't do anything to those adventurers."

With that, Donne shook his head. Isn't Gillard crazy? He's almost crazy now.

"I see."

Gus nodded and stopped talking. The more he knew, the more dangerous it was sometimes. He silently led the way through the dull street to a car and horse shop.

"This is a carriage prepared for you in advance. It uses our Ellington technology. It is very stable and fast."

Gus pointed to the carriage at the door. At Donne's request, the appearance of the carriage was very simple, but the interior was very comfortable.

Donne originally wanted to fly to Tarris and then send it back to Ellington to pick up Aurelia and OLINA, but he suddenly found that he didn't know where Tarris was... The farther the flight distance was, the larger the initial deviation was. It may be just a little off at first, but with the increase of flight distance, it was separated by dozens of kilometers.

Prandal's city is not like Shanghai, New York and Tokyo on earth. It can be seen even if it is 100 kilometers away. In prandal, if it is not a plain, it is difficult to notice the existence of the city more than 10 kilometers away.

Of course, flying with Aurelia who knows the way is also a way. Unfortunately, Aurelia still resists close contact with Donne.

OLINA is also a choice. However, looking at Aurelia's red eyes and OLINA's tears every day, Donne finally gave up the idea. As a result, the only choice is the carriage.

It's about 1000 kilometers from helzhum to Tarris. The carriage can run 130 kilometers every day, which takes about eight days. It's a waste of time.

But

"Is that... The Earth Dragon?"

Donne was stunned when he saw the big guy in front of the carriage.

"That's right."

Gus said, "I heard that the Lord has something important to do, so I specially asked an expert of Ryan Empire to buy his land dragon."

Although the ground dragon carries the word "dragon", it has nothing to do with the dragon. It is just named like this. It is a specialty of the Ryan empire. After domestication, it is very obedient, and its endurance, speed and explosive power are excellent. It is a very excellent animal power and riding tool. Therefore, it is called Dragon cart rather than carriage in the Ryan empire.

The only disadvantage is that the feed of Dihang dragon is raw meat, and the feeding cost is very high.

Gus respectfully said, "if you use the land for a long time, you can save at least half the time. In case, the food and feed for ten days have been prepared in the car. Because the weather is still cold, you don't have to worry about the deterioration of raw meat. I think the money spent is worth it in order to save the Lord's precious time."

"Well done."

Donne rarely praised him: "make an account of how much you spent, and then directly ask Fiona for reimbursement, and give you a bonus of 100 gold coins."

Gus was overjoyed: "thank you, Lord!"
