Chapter 355 Rebecca was shocked, this city will eventually rise! (5000 words long chapter)
As for the deal with Baiwei Juezhuang, both parties were interested and quickly reached an agreement.
The price of the final transaction was also increased from 50 units for 1 unit of Baiwei Zhuanjing to 60 units.
Both Richard and Rebecca were satisfied with the price.
For Richard, this means that 300,000 units of rare resources can be accounted for every month. After deducting the production cost of 50,000 units, there is still a net profit of 250,000 units, which can fully cover the resources needed to recruit stone statues of the dead. .
For Rebecca, this level of fine wine means more than just earning resources.
She now controls part of the Frostwolf family's alcohol sales channels.
With this fine wine, her results will undoubtedly be even more impressive.
Both parties get what they need.
After talking about this matter, Richard continued.
"Ms. Rebecca, I will go to Solan City in two days."
"If a suitable location can be found, Twilight City will establish a chamber of commerce in Solan City."
"In the future, you can go directly to the Chamber of Commerce in Solan City to exchange supplies without spending a long time traveling through the desert."
The idea of establishing a chamber of commerce in Solan City came to him during his conversation with Rebecca.
In the future, the Twilight City cannot continue to develop in silence, and it is inevitable to start trade with the outside world.
The special rules of the Death Desert will cause flying troops to get lost and end up in various terrifying places, so they can only travel from the ground.
But this undoubtedly increases the difficulty of trade.
The solution is not difficult. Since it is difficult for you to come, why not just leave the Twilight City?
His gift gives the residents of Twilight City a very special attribute - they can never get lost in the desert.
This gives Twilight City the capital to do business in the Death Desert.
The duergar are already developing desert vehicles.
When the sandworms grow up, they can conduct trade on a regular basis.
If there are important supplies, flying troops can be sent there.
It's a pity that the number of space treasures in "Glory Era" is very rare and cannot be popularized on a large scale, otherwise it would be easy.
Rebecca was quite surprised when she heard this.
"Establishing a Chamber of Commerce in Solan City? This would be great."
This month's long journey in the desert has almost left her with a psychological shadow. If possible, she never wants to enter the desert again in her life.
Suffered enough.
After thinking for a moment, he continued.
"Your Excellency Richard, I have a medium-sized manor in Solan City."
"If you don't mind, I hope I can give it to you as a testimony of our friendship."
Richard looked at the girl's serious expression and was filled with emotion.
As a partner, the eldest daughter of the Frostwolf family has done her best.
Even if I deliberately look for faults, I can't find any fault.
Sending both a token and a manor, this kind of courage is not something ordinary people can have.
Not polite at the moment.
"If so, then I will accept it."
As he spoke, he raised the wine glass in his hand to signal.
"Miss Rebecca, it's a pleasure to meet you. May our friendship last forever with the blessing of the goddess of ice and snow."
From lady to young lady, this title silently represents the closer relationship between the two.
Rebecca naturally noticed this, and the smile in her eyes was equally bright.
Raise a glass.
"May friendship last forever"
After the two drank it all, the atmosphere rose to another level.
After Richard put down his wine glass, he looked curiously at the extremely beautiful girl with a faint red glow on her face.
"Miss Rebecca, as the eldest daughter of the Grand Duke Frostwolf, no matter how precious the Flame Dragon Rabbit is, there is no point in coming here in person, right?"
Few people are willing to endure the pain of traveling for a month in a harsh environment like the desert.
With the other party's status, there is no need to take risks.
Looking at the charming existence in front of her, Rebecca's eyes shone with a subtle light. After taking a deep breath, she spoke slowly.
"Some things have to be done. I want to control the Frostwolf family."
Richard frowned, then relaxed.
Because the creator god of "Glory Era" is a goddess, women have an extremely high status, and there is no idea that women cannot be in power.
But the key point is not whether Rebecca is a boy or a girl, but that in such a big family, you don't need to think about it to know how fierce the competition is.
You want to be the clan leader, but others don’t want to be?
They all have the same blood. How many days earlier would you have been born? Naturally, whoever is more capable will be chosen.
Rebecca obviously wants to achieve something
After finding out the other person's purpose, he looked directly at the girl.
said in a deep voice.
"Miss Rebecca, as a friend, I will do my best to support you."
"I'm looking forward to seeing the Frostwolf family welcome a new Grand Duke."
Feeling the sincerity in the words, Rebecca was slightly stunned, and then her face was like a spring flower, blooming with a dazzling brilliance.
The long-standing pressure in my heart suddenly dissipated for some unknown reason at this moment.
It seems to be an extremely happy thing to be recognized by Richard.
"Your Excellency Richard, thank you, the Frostwolf family, as long as I am here, they will not be controlled by others!"
She once swore to the goddess that her mother's last wish would be fulfilled.
No one can stop it!
Richard also heard the determination in the girl's tone.
Thoughts began to diverge in this direction. Although the Ice and Snow Empire was far away from the desert, it would not be a bad thing if it could support an ally with powerful power.
Moreover, the two sides now have a basis for in-depth cooperation.
The Ice and Snow Empire has a lot of good things.
Especially the soul scroll rewarded by the Ice and Snow Goddess, only the royal family of the Ice and Snow Empire has one.
This is the best solution currently known to enslave the Vampire Archduke in the Blood Coffin.
But he was unfamiliar with this place, so it was too difficult to get the soul scroll.
It is unrealistic to leave Twilight City and plan for the Ice and Snow Empire for a long time.
But what if it were the Frostwolf family?
As a grand ducal family, their status in the Ice and Snow Empire is by no means comparable.
If Rebecca can take control of the Frostwolf family and help him with all her strength, she may not be able to get the soul scroll.
More importantly, the Desert of Death is tens of thousands of miles away from the Ice and Snow Empire. The climate is extremely cold and the other is hot and dry. There is no conflict between the two sides.
Even if Rebecca becomes the king of the Ice and Snow Empire in the future, it is impossible for her to do anything harmful to the Twilight City.
There will be no further trouble.
Thinking of this, Richard suddenly laughed again.
It seems that he has thought too much about the current Twilight City, but he does not yet have the strength to support the eldest daughter of a grand duke.
But it’s okay to plan ahead, as Twilight City will eventually grow.
The competition for the heir to the Frostwolf family cannot be a short-term matter. If we wait another year and a half, the role that Twilight City can play will inevitably become greater and greater.
It may not be the last feather in the scale.
He retracted his thoughts and looked directly at the elegant girl in front of him.
He said slowly.
"Although Twilight City is not very powerful at present, it does have its own strengths. Miss Rebecca, I wonder what you lack? If I can help, I will not refuse."
These words touched Clay next to him. He thought that Richard was just talking politely, but he didn't expect that the other party was serious
The light in Rebecca's eyes was as bright as stars, and she said with a smile.
"Your Excellency Richard is very interested. Twilight City can provide us with a large and stable supply of rabbit fur, which is the greatest help to us."
Richard smiled.
"This is nature."
Then I became curious.
"I wonder what Miss Rebecca is doing with these rabbit furs? Making warm equipment?"
Rebecca nodded generously.
"Yes, the coldness in some areas of the Ice and Snow Empire is beyond outsiders' imagination, and almost no life except ice and snow elements can survive in those areas."
"And it just so happens that some extremely cold places have veins that can produce top-grade ores and magical plants that are hard to find. Although top-grade equipment has the ability to withstand the cold, it is too expensive to be popularized on a large scale."
< br>
"On the contrary, the rabbit fur of the Flame Dragon Rabbit is very suitable for equipping ordinary armies."
"In addition, these rabbit furs also contain powerful magic power. They are made in a special way and can be used to forge equipment that can reduce the damage of ice magic. It is of immeasurable value."
"That's it!"
Richard immediately recognized the value of the Flame Dragon Rabbit.
This thing is definitely a strategic level treasure in the Ice and Snow Empire.
No wonder the other party traveled thousands of miles to come here in person.
He also felt a little interesting in his heart. Who would have thought that the specialties of the desert would play an important role in the extremely cold areas tens of thousands of miles away.
The world is full of wonders.
After getting the answer, Richard didn't ask any more questions and changed the topic.
"Miss Rebecca, after you return to the Ice and Snow Empire, if you can, please help me find out more about the soul scroll."
Rebecca blinked.
"It seems that vampire is very important to you."
"Very important."
Extraordinary power, no matter which force it is placed in, is the top existence.
For Twilight City, it is completely equivalent to obtaining nuclear weapons, and it cannot be overemphasized.
"I will go to the Frost City next month and ask the king to give this treasure."
Rebecca said with a bit of helplessness in her eyes.
"But this is a gift from the goddess. His Majesty the King may not reward it. Mr. Richard, don't hold out hope."
Hearing this, Richard was quite touched. He didn't expect the other party to be able to do this.
It's not easy.
Nod slowly.
"Rebecca, thank you for your help. It would be best if it succeeds. It will not affect anything if it fails."
The blood coffin is still there, and the vampire archduke won't be able to escape for a while.
Rebecca, who was only called by her first name without the suffix "Miss" or "Ms.", was not only not unhappy at this moment, but she was particularly happy.
"You're welcome, Sir Richard. As friends, we should help each other."
Looking at the face with a gentle smile, Richard relaxed a little.
"Yes, we are friends."
At this point, the main issues have been discussed clearly.
Richard looked at the time and saw that it was almost 9 o'clock, so he ended the tea party tonight.
He waved to the maid who looked a little sleepy in the corner and asked her to take Rebecca to the guest room to rest.
Kelie insisted on living with the soldiers in the caravan, but Richard didn't care and had people take him to the barracks.
Those level 15 troops are all arranged here.
Rebecca was led by the maid to the guest room on the second floor of the lord's mansion.
After washing up, Rebecca changed into civilian clothes. Just when she was about to ask the maid to leave and sleep, suddenly a little head appeared at the door.
Rebecca sensed a strange aura and immediately turned her head to look. A shy centaur appeared in her sight.
Is this the centaur hero on the city wall?
He stood up immediately, smiled and nodded.
"Good night, Lady Centaur, Rebekah sends you her regards."
Although it was unclear why this strange hero came at this time, he still remained polite enough.
Noble cultivation.
After Emerelda was discovered, she walked into the house a little shyly.
Then he looked at Rebecca with curiosity.
"Good night, Sister Rebecca. Say hello to you from Emerida."
As he spoke, his face showed a bit of excitement.
"Are you from the Ice and Snow Empire? My father said that the Ice and Snow Empire is very cold, and there will be a lot of snow. Sister Rebecca, will it really snow in the sky? What does snow look like?"
Rebecca was a little stunned when she heard that childish tone.
this?
But when he saw those eyes that were pure and without any impurities, he seemed to have thought of something, and a kind smile appeared on his face.
"It will snow. The snow is pure white, like cotton. When the snow falls heavily, it will cover the ground. It looks like the ground is covered with cotton."
Immortal races such as elves often do not reach adulthood until they are two or three hundred years old.
The centaur in front of me had a similar reason?
Look older, but actually still a child?
Childishness and innocence cannot be conveyed by acting. There is no way that that childish attitude can be fake.
Emerelda's eyes were bright.
"It's really great. I must ask my father to take me to the Ice and Snow Empire to see the snow in the future"
Children in dry and hot areas always have a strong curiosity and yearning for snow
Rebecca said a little surprised.
"Father? Is your father Richard?"
Emerilda nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"My father is the best to me."
Seeing that the lower body was the body of a horse, Rebecca looked a little strange.
Mr. Richard is really good at playing.
But after thinking about it, it was impossible for the other party to have such an old daughter at such a young age.
Is this centaur the adopted daughter of the other party?
If you think about it this way, it makes sense.
After all, if it were a biological person, it would be too strong.
After confirming that the other party was really a child, Rebecca let go of her guard and started chatting with Emerelda.
Not long after that, I started to like this "little guy" who although his body looked sixteen or seventeen years old, his mental age was still that of four or five years old.
Her face was full of motherly love.
But the good times didn't last long. After only chatting for more than half an hour, Emerelda suddenly seemed to think of something, slapped her head, exclaimed, and stood up quickly.
"Sister Rebecca, I almost forgot. I have to go to class. Today is Teacher Ma En's class and I am already late. Teacher Ma En is very strict and knows how to slap her palms."
Rebecca looked at the startled little centaur and couldn't help but laugh or cry.
"It's okay, don't be afraid. I'm going to intercede with you. Is Teacher Ma En your personal teacher?"
"No, Teacher Ma En is our teacher. We can't stay any longer. We'll be late and the square will be full of people and we won't be able to find a good seat."
square?
Rebecca was a little stunned.
This hero with unlimited potential is taking classes in the square?
At this moment, I suddenly thought of what Onik said: Twilight City imparts knowledge to every resident.
Is this true? Didn't the other party lie to him?
Immediately aroused strong interest.
"Emereda, can I go to class with you?"
The little centaur nodded happily.
"Of course~ Teacher Ma En's class is so interesting"
After receiving a positive answer, Rebecca did not delay. With strong curiosity, she led the little pony downstairs.
When I walked out of the lord's mansion, I immediately found that the small square in front of me was already crowded with people.
An old man with gray hair, a child of seven or eight, an aunt in her forties or fifties, an uncle with calluses on his hands.
This complex personnel composition shocked Rebecca.
When she was in class, her classmates were all well-dressed and polite.
Has she ever seen such a scene?
Among the dense crowd, there is a small elevated platform next to the residential buildings.
There is a blackened wooden board hanging on the wall, and a middle-aged man is writing something on it with white stone.
After finishing writing, the other party turned around, looked at the residents below and said loudly.
"Learn these words today! Read them aloud to me."
Then the middle-aged man picked up a wooden stick and pointed at one of the words and read it out loud.
The residents below immediately started reading.
Rebecca looked at the residents of Twilight City who were taking notes and reading carefully under the illumination of tallow lamps.
He looked stunned.
Although the reading sounds are uneven, the sound is heartfelt.
Although the teaching was so superficial, at this moment, those people with rough palms and old faces looked like ordinary residents who had been working for many years. Their serious reading expressions gave her an indescribable impact.
At this moment, she seemed to finally understand why this territory looked so different from beginning to end
Because the owner of this city really treats these inconspicuous residents as individuals.
These lower-class residents, placed in other territories, would not even have the qualifications to be human beings, let alone study.
They could only become slave labor tools for the lords.
How valuable is knowledge? Want to learn these tools too? dream!
Even in Frostwolf territory.
If she follows Twilight City's approach, I'm afraid that the next day, the members of the family will be turned upside down.
The knowledge that only nobles can master is worthy of those lowly poor people? Why should they.
It was because she was well aware of the cruelty of the rules of this world that she was so shocked when she saw the serious eyes of the inconspicuous civilians.
Perhaps, only a lord with such courage can build an amazing city in a barren desert in just a few months.
City at Dusk, Richard.
After Rebecca murmured several times, her eyes sparkled with incomparable brilliance.
She has never believed so firmly that the name Richard will one day resound throughout the main plane.
This city will eventually rise. (End of chapter)
