Chapter 314

A luxury car drives through the hexagon-deep business district of Glamorgan Collier.

Ren sat in the car, looking through the glass at the bustling street outside, with tall buildings on both sides and heavy traffic on the road, he couldn't help but feel a little satisfied.

From time to time, someone rode a steam motorcycle roaring past, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Under Akaland's spare no effort to promote, in less than two months, "Mercedes-Benz" motorcycle, a new thing, has already gained a reputation in the Motor City.

Appropriate price, convenient speed, and simple driving skills make motorcycles popular among middle-class people. Astute dealers sensed huge business opportunities, waved golden tickets and rushed to the "Mercedes-Benz" factory, the production line Twenty-four hours of continuous rotation, but the supply is still in short supply.

Ren found Akalande and asked him about the source of the source crystal, but he didn't get a good result.

The vice president of the mechanic union is now concentrating on steam motorcycles. He just wants to expand the scale, push the motorcycles to the whole country, and occupy this brand new market. After a few words with Ren in a hurry, he continued to work.

Akalande has some understanding of "heavy silver", but no more than Speaker Dalandon. He has many mines under his name, but rarely digs source crystals.

This kind of ore has too few uses, and it is rare but not precious enough. It is far inferior to the broad market of mithril fine gold.

Therefore, heavy silver has not received enough attention.

Most of the heavy silver ores were treated as windfall and sold to alchemy material stores without forming a complete industrial chain, let alone anyone specializing in the heavy silver trade.

However, Akland promised Renn that he would buy heavy silver mines in the name of the vice president of the Machinery Union, as much as he wanted, and sent people to investigate the output mines of the heavy silver mines.

In the past half a month, Rennes has collected a batch of ore.

After refining, he got about 30 pounds of source crystals, but it was still far from the amount he wanted. This was almost all the source crystals that could be bought in the modu market.

Ren also entrusted Mrs. Xia Lanwei, an alchemy jewelry enchanter and real estate tycoon. All the shops under his name have opened projects to acquire heavy silver mines. Any heavy silver mines that appear on the city's surface will be bought immediately. , sent to his castle.

As for the news of the mine has not yet been obtained.

Ren has nothing to do about it, but he is mentally prepared. If the source crystal mine is so easy to get, it won't make it so difficult for a demigod Titan elder.

This is a long-term task, and it is basically impossible to get it done in one go.

But we can't passively wait for the source crystal mines to be collected, we must speed up, and we can't be limited to Modu, and we can't let go of several big cities in the empire.

Besides Modu, there is also the capital Northriel, and Shenzhen-Hong Kong City.

Northriel is the territory of the Nether faction, and Renn has no contacts there, so he dare not act in a big way for the time being, so he can only send a reliable territorial official to go there in a low-key way, and the alchemy material stores will go to sweep the goods. How much is how much.

In contrast, Shenzhen-Hong Kong City is much safer.

This is the second largest trading city in the empire after Modu. There is no floating city or holy soul wizard sitting in it. It is the capital of the "Turde trading city-state". It is a vassal of the empire in name, but in fact it has a high degree of autonomy. The law is different from that of the empire, and the relationship between the city-state forces is intricate, but there are not so many scruples.

It happened that Ren was going to buy a batch of slaves, so he decided to go there himself.

Most people travel from Modu to Shenzhen-Hong Kong City. There is no direct steam train between the two. The first choice is to take a boat, followed by the expensive magic airship.

The last option is to send.

In Shenzhen-Hong Kong City, there is a company called "Empire Teleportation Travel Agency". It has built public teleportation arrays between several major cities in the empire. Anyone can use it as long as they pay.

The owner behind this teleportation company is actually the lord of Shenzhen-Hong Kong City, Hestav Orosan.

He is a legendary high-level wizard. His professional level was nineteen years ago, and he is only one step away from the holy soul. Blackstaff's wife, Laila Orosan, is also a nineteenth-level wizard and is said to be stronger than her husband.

Two legendary high-ranking wizards and ten masked lords ruled the city of Shenzhen and Hong Kong together.

Imperial Teleportation Travel Agency is not the only company with a public teleportation array, but it is the one with the most reputation and the most cities covered.

In fact, in Wezelan floating city, there are also teleportation arrays leading to other floating cities.

Just considering the safety of the floating city, it is rarely open to the outside world, and not every holy soul wizard is willing to allow outsiders to easily enter their floating city.

Therefore, the floating city teleportation is rarely used, and the optional teleportation destinations are extremely limited.

Ren took a car, escorted by the Ultramarines on Kodos, all the way across the Yero River to the opposite old city, and soon arrived outside the building of the public teleportation array.

The arrival of the Earl of Glamorgan immediately attracted the attention of pedestrians.

Ren got out of the car, scanned the surrounding crowd, and said, "Sicarius, you and the people who lead half of the team come with me, and the others take the Kodos back."

Modu can be regarded as half of his territory, with the protection of the Floating Void City on his head, it doesn't matter how loud the movement is.

But in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City, it is better to keep a low profile.

"Okay, boss." Sicarius immediately selected five Ultramarines to accompany Ren, and the others returned where they were and took the Kodo beasts away.

The public teleportation array is paid by head, and the Kodo is also counted as one, and it is not cheap.

This also saves a fortune.

Ren brought six Ultramarines into the teleportation company. The person in charge here had already received the news, greeted him with a smile on his face, and said in imperial language with a southern accent: "Welcome to the lord, the imperial teleportation is at your service. Excuse me Where is the lord going?"

"Shenzhen City." Ren glanced at the other party, he was a high-level wizard.

"One hundred and twenty gold shields each." The high-ranking wizard quickly quoted, "My lord, are all your subordinates also teleported?"

Ren's eyelids twitched, the transfer fee was too expensive.

Even nobles rarely pay such a high fee in order to save time on the road. No wonder there is no competition in the teleportation business. In such a narrow market, one company has already eaten up most of its share.

"Send them all."

Ren paid the money with some pain, thinking that he would not pretend to be generous next time, and it would be more practical to take the airship.

After the high-ranking wizard collected the money, he led the way through the long corridor and entered a huge teleportation hall. The ground was divided into nine grids, each grid had an area of ​​several hundred square meters, and nine teleportation arrays were arranged respectively.

Ren made a little identification, and each teleportation array leads to a different destination.

"My lord, please come here."

The high-ranking wizard pointed to the teleportation array in the middle, and when Ren and the six Ultramarines stepped onto the teleportation array, he activated the rune, and after a while, the scene in front of him changed, and he arrived at another teleportation hall.

"Welcome to Shenzhen-Hong Kong City!" Another wizard greeted him with a smile.

Ren looked around and found that there were more teleportation arrays here, there were twenty of them, and he didn't know where they were leading.

And within half a minute of my arrival, there were two teleportation arrays that sent people over. Judging by their appearance, they seemed to come from outside the empire.

The wizard didn't recognize Ren, but it didn't hinder his enthusiasm: "If the distinguished guest comes to Shenzhen-Hong Kong City for the first time, we can provide corresponding services, accommodation, sightseeing, shopping or other special requirements, as long as we can meet them Yes, we guarantee customer satisfaction."

His imperial accent is not very standard, it sounds a bit awkward.

Ren shook his head, "No, thank you."

"Okay, if you need a guest, you can go back to the travel agency at any time, and we will serve you wholeheartedly." The wizard sent Ren and others out along the way.

Chuankong Travel Agency is located at the waist of a not-so-high mountain. Standing on the steps at the entrance of the teleportation hall, what you see in front of you is a huge and prosperous city. At the foot of the mountain is the commercial area, densely populated, bustling streets criss-crossing, Various means of transportation, carriages and cars are driving on the road.

Looking into the distance, there are ships coming in and out of the busy wharf all the time, and thousands of workers are loading and unloading goods on the wharf like ants.

There are gryphon riders patrolling the sky.

Looking back to the top of the mountain, a tower towering straight into the sky stands in a castle that occupies a vast area like a palace. There is the castle area, the seat of the city's ruler.

A gust of sea breeze blows, and there is a salty smell in the air.

Ren let out a breath.

This is Shenzhen-Hong Kong City, with a permanent population of more than three million. It is divided into seven districts. The north is close to the huge hinterland of the empire, and the south is facing the golden sea route. Its unique advantages make it a world-renowned trade city.

Walking on the streets of Shenzhen-Hong Kong City, Rennes felt a different city style.

First of all, the race is mixed. Although humans are still the main race, there are a lot of alien races, nearly 20% are non-humans, dwarves, elves, barbarians, trolls, goblins, etc., and there are many remote races, one by one Warcraft mounts, fully armed and running on the road, and no one cares about them.

Even human beings have differences in appearance and skin color. They are obviously not from Orion, and they speak an unfamiliar language.

With Ren's knowledge, he only recognizes the relatively common human beings such as "Salev", "Moro", "Capitu", "Jawa Haimin", and "Parsu" branch.

Many foreigners can also be seen in Modu, but they can only be seen near the arena where extraordinary people gather.

And the whole city of Shenzhen-Hong Kong City is like this, like a melting pot of races.

It seems that most of the races of Allenus can be found here. People are always in a hurry and busy with their own affairs. Many things that are very strange to outsiders are no longer strange to them.

Like Ren, traveling with six tall and burly Ultramarines did not attract much attention.

"Boss, this city looks busier than Modo."

Sicarius said in surprise.

"That's not necessarily true." Ren smiled disapprovingly.

The population and economy of Modu are obviously superior. It is already an industrial city, and its productivity ranks second in the world. No one dares to say that it is the first.

Shenzhen-Hong Kong City is very lively, but more because of its geographical advantage, it has become the empire's foreign trade and display window, but it is still a very traditional labor model in terms of productivity. The city is only one-third the size of Modu, and its ethnic diversity makes it seem more prosperous.

Ren was about to explain to Sicarius what the gap in productivity was when he suddenly noticed a few strange eyes.

At the same time, a voice came to his ears, and his name was mentioned.

Obviously, someone recognized himself.

Ren didn't hang around anymore, and led the Ultramarines into an alley, opened a portal with the Arcane Torrent Staff, and walked in.
