In addition to active collection, Isha shrines throughout the royal court will also receive various donations on a long-term basis. These are acts of the people of the kingdom showing their love for their beloved queen. Therefore, in Ada, population equals economy. It just so happened that the population of the royal court had already exceeded 300,000, and there were also tributes provided by various wild kingdoms.
Needless to say, the status of Ada's products in the galaxy is unimaginable. If we can obtain a trading privilege, the profits will be unimaginable.
But unlike the free trade of other civilizations, the Eternal Court currently has no private interstellar trade organizations. Residents can basically obtain everything they need in the free market, and they do not have a strong desire for wealth. Desire is equivalent to the fact that there are no serious merchants in the Eternal Royal Court. At most, they are just some small traders. All trade activities are official. This is why the Great Sorian Alliance dares to speak so loudly——
< br>Perhaps they think Ada has no business acumen?
Or is it that the cooperation in the last Maelstrom Expedition allowed them to taste the sweetness of monopolizing trade rights, so they want to repeat the same trick? He had heard from Sorge's information that the Great Sorian Alliance had made a lot of money from those resource planets after the war, and he didn't see any extra gratitude or expression from them. Speaking of those plasmas, Missile technology still looks like it could kill them.
They want to be stingy and want to make a fortune. The dwarfs also think of themselves as too good people.
Soshiyang sneered in his heart, pretended to read a full page of the cooperation agreement, and then placed it on the table in front of him.
"I have received and seen the cooperation agreement of your alliance, but it still needs to be discussed with all your dear friends. You can go back and wait for the news."
"Your Highness, you are Feeling that "
could serve as the representative of the entire alliance, the Hearthborn with a beard that almost touched the floor and wearing a shining robe immediately got some feedback from Soshiyan's tone, and he knew that the other party was not satisfied.
After a moment, he said the next words cautiously.
“. Are there any modifications that need to be made?”
“Let’s discuss it first and see what the specifics are. We will notify you when there are results here.”
"Approximately. How long."
"It's hard to say, because Gu still needs to report to His Majesty to see what her opinion is. It's just that His Majesty is in a bad mood recently because he is tired from traveling. Maybe she will be late. Some will take care of these mundane matters.”
Just as Hearthborn was about to say something, Soshyan stood up.
"Let's do this for today. I have a private meeting with Sect Master Walker. I have prepared a welcome banquet for you. Sir Doral, please entertain everyone from the Great Sorian Alliance on your behalf."
Doral turned around, bowed and replied:
"Yes, Your Highness."
Soshiyan then abandoned the envoy of the Great Sorian Alliance and went After changing into a robe, he came to a garden and met with Sect Leader Walker.
For some reason, he always felt that this mysterious old furnace descendant always seemed to have something to say to him, but never said it out loud.
When he arrived, an old furnace man was already sitting on the chair beside the exquisite round four-legged table. The old man’s hair was as white as the snow on the peak, and his braids were It was so long that it seemed to blend in with the white beard underneath, and the beard that hung on his knees was far longer than his boots. It just hung under the chair, and his slightly frayed gray robe flickered underneath. With intricate patterns and occasional jewelery sheen.
The Gramnir Priest Master held his long pipe in his right hand and took a long puff. When the smoke rose upwards, it twisted into strange and meaningful shapes.
The other party seemed very comfortable, without any restraint, as if this was not the solemn palace of the Eternal Palace, but a random wild place.
“Master Walker, I haven’t seen you for a long time, and I am very pleased to see that you are still so tough.”
Soshyan walked over with a smile and sat on the huge chair on the other side.
Afterwards, several maids came over, carrying exquisite crystal bottles and cups, as well as some desserts, and each poured a glass of wine for the two of them. Old Furnace Yi accepted it with a serious face. And nodded to the maid serving the wine:
"Thank you, little girl."
The other party responded with a slightly shy smile and walked away, leaving only a huge , a short twosome. "Master Walker, I just had a friendly meeting with the delegation from your alliance. I have to say that the Hearthborn is really good at doing business."
Hearing this, a serious smile appeared on the frowning old furnace man's face.
“Because blood, ancestors and profit are the necessary conditions to maintain a Hearthborn alliance.”
He took a sip of Ada wine, and then made a subtle expression, unable to tell that he was wrong. A review of this expensive wine.
“Is it conceivable that even the strongest alliances will fall apart if there is no profit to be made?”
“I don’t doubt that.”
Soshyan also smiled, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip.
“Nevertheless.”
The old furnace descendant continued:
“.In this decadent era, few furnace descendants would be in a strange place with a strange person. When people drink together, it is rare for a furnace man to chat with a stranger without preparing any weapons."
As he spoke, he put the pipe back into his mouth and raised the half-empty wine glass.
"Therefore, you can count old Walker as your distinguished friend."
Soshyan also smiled and raised his cup, clinking it with the other party, but the other party's next words made him Stiffened.
".Just like the ancestor of your Alexey family."
Master Walker pulled out the pipe from his mouth, drank the remaining wine in one gulp, and then placed Another face appeared, seemingly lost in some kind of nostalgia.
"It has been many years. I have forgotten how long it has been since I drank with another Alexei."
The smile on Soshiyang's face faded, and he slowly put down the cup. After a short period of thinking, he judged one thing - of course, this Walker leader should be acquainted with, or even acquainted with, his ancestor Orod. .
“Master Walker, you are Orold’s friend, right?”
Hearthborn smiled.
"Smart young man, but you are much more humble than him. He is a bit arrogant, of course, it just looks on the outside. He is very complicated on the inside."
Soshiyang He nodded, picked up the wine glass and drank all the liquid in it. No wonder the other party said a lot of crazy things to him when they first met. At that time, he thought that this furnace descendant had met Xerxes or something, but he didn't expect it. He turned out to be an old friend of Orode.
"When did you find out that I was his descendant? Just by name?"
"I saw him in you when we first met."
Meet The other party's cup was empty, so Soshyan gently pressed the bell on the table, and soon two maids came over and filled their cups again.
Walker did not drink, but took a deep breath from his cigarette holder, his expression seemed to be deep in thought.
". The first time I met him was a long time ago. I was still a young man at that time. The Hearthi business alliance had just emerged. We were working hard to open up the subspace outside the galactic center. Routes, hoping to extend the trade network, but after coming out, I found that the originally lush human civilization had become less and less, and, I hope you can forgive me, the rich and colorful human culture in the past has become increasingly poor. There is only one military empire left in the galaxy, ruled by the immortal demigod, his dozen or so terrifying descendants, and millions of brutal genetic warriors. We dare not come into contact with such an empire, and we can only avoid its influence. Eyes and ears, while trying to find objects that can still be traded, but there is never a lack of trouble in the galaxy, and we encountered a group of greenskins."
