Chapter 1373 The long-awaited third battlefield!
What happened in the Evernight Forest certainly made the nobles of the Kaya Empire, including Brand, very vigilant.
Worrying about when a war will break out near the Human Alliance or even their empire.
But what is a little surprising is:
The tense atmosphere lasted for more than two months.
In addition to more ocean races coming to harass them, the battle they were waiting for did not come.
Although most people firmly believe that their judgment is certainly not wrong.
But for the people at the bottom, since the war has never come, life must continue.
This afternoon, the dock of Chenhua Port.
Looking at the eastern sea, the Golden Wheat Field led the fleet and came closer.
Yersin, who had been waiting here for a while, took out a crystal ball and started operating it.
Immediately afterwards, an empty shadow screen appeared in front of him.
Yersin immediately sent a communication request to the designated target and waited patiently.
In the past two years or so, maritime trade has declined, because everyone has become richer.
In business transactions one after another, Yersen, Andy, and Finn also harvested a lot of rare gadgets.
Therefore, the two items of removable blank screen and portable external screen are no longer unaffordable for the Yersen trio.
Now they have bought a copy here in Brand for easy contact.
Not long after, Andy, who was in Fort Cloud, and Finn, who was walking in a snow field, appeared in the empty shadow screen.
After some greetings and then changing the angle of view.
Yersin smiled and said:
"There was no danger. Although we encountered attacks from some marine races along the way, our fleet still returned safely!"
Andy responded calmly while eating snacks:
"After all, our fleet is one of the largest commercial fleets in the empire, and it is also accompanied by warships for escort.
Of course ordinary looters can't do anything to us.
But next, do you think we will continue with the next round of maritime trade?
Many nobles in the empire are now preparing to suspend maritime trade and wait for the situation to change. ”
Hearing this, Yersen waved to the approaching ships and responded:
“The big men and Brand originally wanted to continue.
However, after the second battlefield in the Evernight Forest was opened, they were a little hesitant.
After all, the third battlefield or even the fourth battlefield is very likely to affect our human alliance.
The marine races that come to attack sea routes more and more frequently can be regarded as a side confirmation.
But in my opinion, whenever there is a big storm like this, the price of fish will be higher.
Whether you want to continue or not depends on whether you are strong enough to withstand the storm!
If you have the same idea, how about we go back and talk to Brand and some big guys. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Finn, who was walking in the wild wearing a fleece jacket, smiled and said:
"As expected of Yersen, his tone is full of calmness and confidence.
If you want to make a big deal, I can accompany you and provide some useful advice. ”
Hearing this, Yersin couldn't help but curiously said:
"How to say?"
In the picture of the empty screen, Finn continued to walk in the wild while explaining:
"Aren't the senior gentlemen and Brand worried about risks and want to be on the safe side?
We can actually increase our expected returns by taking risks.
For example, if they don't want to continue now, we can also directly rent their idle merchant ships and go to the Elf Forest for trade.
Idle ships will not generate value, so I think they will not mind. ”
Andy thought:
“It’s a good idea, but if an accident occurs, we need to bear the full loss.
So I think it’s best to calculate our affordability, what do you think? ”
As soon as these words came out, Finn couldn't help but mocked:
"Andy, although we have made a lot of money in the past two years, you have to admit that even if we want to buy one or two more Amber Ones, we will have to spend a lot of money.
So if we really want to calculate affordability, we have almost no affordability. ”
Yersin concluded:
"So this is a big deal?
If successful, we will directly earn more than ten times the profit!
And if it fails, we will work to pay off the debt as we did in the past? ”
Finn nodded and said:
"That's it, what do you think?
Of course, if an accident does occur, we may be able to quickly pay off the debt through a loan from Brand in the future.
Brand, this guy, has a lot of magic gold coins and no place to invest.
You should know the situation of Louise, Madeleine and Shallan, right? ”
Having said this, I turned around and saw several merchant ships marked with [Golden Sword Leader], [Silver Swallow Leader], and [Snow Apricot Leader].
Yersen nodded in understanding.
After some discussion, we also arranged for manpower to unload the goods and place them properly. Yersen mounted his war horse and headed to Morning Flower Castle via the cross-sea road.
Because of the invasion from the outer continent, the empire's top officials and dignitaries were all having a headache.
But for people at a lower level, this is actually just like that.
The Kaya Empire is almost the safest place in the Human Alliance.
There are endless troubles abroad, but in China, we only occasionally hear about bandits appearing somewhere, and then being wiped out by the army of the empire and nobles.
Generally speaking, the nobles have to worry about such matters involving the safety of the mainland. They only need to focus on their own lives.
Regarding this point, although Yersen is the heir to the Imperial Count family, the specific situation is actually similar.
My eldest father is now a champion knight without showing off.
His younger brother is now also a well-known being in the empire, a candidate for great nobility, and the son-in-law of His Majesty the Emperor.
Although Yersin is called a genius, he has been working hard to revitalize the Holland family since he was a child.
But in the face of the cruel reality, he still had no choice but to win!
Although he is very reluctant, now he just wants to make more money and improve his life.
After all, the eldest boss of the family may continue to control the family's financial power for a long, long time.
As for the invaders from the outer continent, there are many people who are "taller than him"!
After entering Morningflower Castle without any hindrance, he learned Brand's whereabouts from the servant.
Yersin came all the way to the main building of the castle and to the feet of the Flower Lady.
After seeing Brand who had just finished practicing and was drinking tea under Catherine's service, Yersen smiled and joked:
"It's really rare that Brand, who we always pursue to be lazy, has recently started to be diligent!"
Hearing this, Brand said helplessly and solemnly:
"It won't work if I don't work hard. After all, I am now the leader of Fanhua County's wartime garrison, and I am responsible for the security of the entire county.
The safety of so many people is in my hands, and I feel a lot of pressure inside. ”
Having said this, he glanced happily at Yersen, whose mouth was twitching.
Brand changed the topic again and asked curiously:
"Do you have anything specifically to do with me today?"
Speaking of business, Yersin also spoke seriously about his thoughts on Andy Finn.
After knowing that Yersin and the other three were preparing for a big fight.
Brand changed his mind, nodded and said:
"We in Chenhualing are indeed prepared to suspend maritime trade. It is a pity that these merchant ships are idle.
If you need it, you can rent all the amber ones at the port.
But after all, it is a long-term lease lasting several months, so the rent will be relatively high. ”
Hearing Brand talk about rent, Yersen, who knew he was about to be ripped off, said helplessly:
"Okay, but because our products are relatively limited, we probably won't rent too many boats.
You also leave us a little room to make a profit. ”
Hearing this, Brand was surprised and said:
"You are all ready to take a risk and make a fortune, why are you so petty?
You can all rent and operate my boats!
You are not the only one who is willing to take risks, because the number of ships plying the sea trade routes has become less and less during this period, and the price of ship tickets has become higher and higher.
Some businessmen are willing to spend a lot of money to obtain a trade opportunity between us and the Elf Forest.
Don't you think about it a little bit?
If you feel the risk is too great, you can still recruit allies!
Louise and the others have actually been hesitating recently about whether to continue maritime trade.
You can definitely work together to share risks! ”
After hearing Brand's series of analysis and instigation, Yersin hesitated for a moment and responded thoughtfully:
"Although you are right, we still need to discuss and consider it before making a decision."
Brand waved his hand and said:
"Just think about it slowly. Our fleet has just returned, and we still have time.
In addition, if you are in need of Human Alliance products, we at Morning Flower Collar have just stocked up on some.
If you are willing to pay a little premium, we can also sell it directly to you. ”
Hearing this, Yersin couldn't help but said suspiciously:
"Wouldn't the price of the premium goods plus the boat rental be directly equal to the price you would pay to transport the goods to the Elf Forest for sale?
Could it be that you want to make a lot of money directly from us this time, and you also directly avoid the risk of sailing? ”
After coughing lightly to cover up his embarrassment, Brand spread his hands and said:
"Even so, you still have something to gain, right?
The real focus is not how much I can make, but how much you can make! ”
Yersin shrugged and said:
"Okay, we will think about it carefully."
Brand smiled and said:
"Then I'm waiting for your good news."
