Holy Crown City Alchemist Guild. As soon as Dafei entered the door, he felt as if he had entered a magnificent clock exhibition hall. High up in the sky, on the walls of the golden hall, there were clocks everywhere, swinging pendulums and moving hands. The whole hall was filled with the quiet ticking of the clock.
Clocks represented time, and controlling time was one of the high-end characteristics of the Wizard Academy. The most powerful hero of the Wizard Academy was the legendary Lamp God Tai Mokehan, who had the title of "King of Time". He could freely configure the time of his troops and determine their attacks. Attack speed was meaningless in front of him. Even if his opponent's troops were the Phoenix, which had the highest attack speed in the Hero Continent, they could still be beaten to a pulp by his troops.
There was a price to pay for controlling time. The price was that the troops he had "configured with time" would become the dust of history after the war, disappearing without a trace. However, as long as he could win a decisive victory in the battle, this price was nothing. Therefore, Tai Mokehan established the first position of the Holy Crown City in the Alliance of Seven Cities. At the same time, Tai Mokehan also became the most prominent Lamp God family in Holy Crown City. For example, the fat manager who came to Dafei's City of Light to collect the warlord's skin was also called Tai Mokehan.
Now, Dafei came to a teleportation hall under the guidance of the lamp genie.
The genie reminded, "Please show your business card again!"
Dafei took out his business card, and it immediately began to glow.
The genie reminded, "Business card owner, Assistant Manager Seine agrees to meet with you!"
Then the teleportation hall flashed, and the scene changed. Dafei appeared in a large room full of books, scrolls, instruments, and bottles. Seine, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was behind the table in the big room.
Dafei immediately came to his senses and laughed, "Mr. Seine, congratulations, congratulations on your promotion!"
Cheyenne immediately stood up, extended his hand, and said with a smile, "Mister Dafei, welcome, welcome. The reason why I was able to get promoted was all thanks to Mister Dafei's rare Magic Eye Skin. Are you here to collect the mercury factory?"
Dafei said with a smile, "That's not it. I have hundreds of units of concentrated mercury here. I want to exchange them for some ancient granite, refined crystal, and refined sulfur through my old friend's connections. Is that convenient?"
Seine quickly said, "As the Assistant Manager, of course, this is not a problem. This is the current exchange market list. Mr. Dafei, please make your choice!" After that, he took out a list and handed it to Dafei.
Dafei took a look at the list and couldn't help but frown.
2.81 units of concentrated mercury could only be exchanged for one unit of refined sulfur? Sure enough, the exchange ratio was too deceptive. If it was based on this ratio, then I can't even start working on my fortress!
Dafei said in a deep voice, "Old friend, this is concentrated mercury. If you trade with the undead, it is possible to exchange one unit of mercury for two units of sulfur. You can't do this business!"
Seine also shook his head and sighed, "Indeed, humans need crystals, the undead need mercury, and the elves need gems. The correct way to trade is, of course, to choose the right forces. This list is the price set by our Alliance of Seven Cities. I can't do anything about it. "
Dafei said in amazement, "Old friend, I came here specially to give you business. Can't you think of another way?"
Seine sighed, "I really can't do anything about it. If it is the gems that the Alliance of Seven Cities urgently needs to make the Titan, I may be able to find a way to give you a discount within the stipulated price range, but if it is mercury, I really can't do anything about it."
What the hell! Brother has already made you an Assistant Manager, but you can't do anything about it. What's the use of Brother with you! Don't tell me that I have to rely on my relationship with Hui Long to exchange with the undead? Or should I go to the goblin city to inquire about the market?
Dafei sighed, "In that case, I won't trouble you anymore. But since I'm already here, let's take back the mercury factory."
"No problem." Speaking until here, Seine's eyes flashed, "By the way, may I ask Mr. City Lord, is the batch of concentrated mercury that you want to exchange related to the mercury factory?"
Damn it! Isn't that obvious? After I kill the demigod crow, the mercury factory will start operating. The red and shiny cinnabar on the shore will be the raw material for producing highly concentrated mercury! However, thinking of this, Dafei's heart moved! He seemed to have asked the same question when he wanted to buy the Mercury Factory. But at that time, Light City was in a precarious situation. I didn't want any major forces to know that I have a rich mercury mine, so I avoided his question. But now, the situation in Light City had been settled. Even the Vine Demon Space and Habbit Village had been annexed. Times had changed!
Displaying his strength to his partners was beneficial to increasing their confidence in him. Dafei chuckled, "What do you think, Mr. City Lord?"
Seine's eyes flashed again and he asked in a deep voice, "Mr. City Lord, do you know the meaning of owning a rich, no, just an ordinary, resource mine?"
Dafei laughed in surprise. This was something that all players knew! In the old world, all mines, even a forest, were the territories of NPC forces. Even if players wanted to intervene, they would only be able to help with logging and mining. There were so many City Lord players in the new world during the open beta, but how many of them owned mines? The City Lords who owned large mines were the representatives of world-class guilds. Furthermore, territories with large mines were the most intense battlefields.
The reason why the war was so intense wasn't necessarily because other countries wanted to steal or occupy the mines. They just wanted to make it impossible for the country to mine or make ends meet in order to achieve their strategic goal. In short, the significance of owning a mine is not trivial. Even if Markal is a Grand Duke, he will throw away his moral integrity and covet it, let alone this little assistant manager in front of him.
Dafei smiled and asked, "Old friend, of course I know the meaning of a mine. I want to hear your opinion!"
Seine said, "Owning a mine is equivalent to indirectly influencing and even controlling a force. For example, the Undead race that urgently needs the mercury mine to make high-end troops."
Dafei's brows twitched. "What do you mean, old friend?"
Seine's eyes flashed with sparks. "I can be the middleman! For example, I can specially make a trip for you to contact an undead buyer and complete the transaction at a price that the city lord is satisfied with. "
Dafei was overjoyed and couldn't help but laugh. "Old friend, in the end, you still have a way!"
Seine said in a deep voice, "But this is against the guild rules. As a salesman or manager of the guild, I can't bypass the guild to do business privately. Once I'm discovered, my future here will be over! I might even be sealed in a crystal lamp and live a miserable life like a prisoner. "
Dafei was stunned. "Then this agent you mentioned …"
Seine said in a deep voice, "This is a risk that I have to take in the beginning stage. Otherwise, under the rules of the guild, my credit will always be the credit of my superiors. I can only surpass my superiors and it is difficult for me to replace them! If I want to go higher, I need more business channels. What I need more is the support of the City Lord. As long as the City Lord can guarantee that you can provide me with a large number of mercury mines in private at any time, I can gain an absolute advantage in the competition in the same industry, gradually gain the trust and even dependence of the Undead forces, and then gradually improve my status. At that time, the City Lord will get my loyalty in return. I will provide the City Lord with high-end equipment and facilities of the Seven Cities Alliance to the maximum extent. What does the City Lord think? "
Dafei was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. This is a fucking collusion between the government and business! However, I like it. As long as I have this high-end insider, my resource advantage can be transformed into a high-tech advantage. What I pursue is high-tech, wahahaha!
Dafei immediately said, "From the first day I saw Mr. Seine, I knew there was monkey shit between us. I didn't misjudge you. What I like most is to cooperate with a motivated manager like Mr. Seine. Let's make progress together and support each other!"
Seine's eyes lit up with excitement. "I didn't misjudge Mr. City Lord either. Mr. City Lord can not only defend the city in such a disadvantageous situation, but also have the energy to mine. This is not an ordinary ability. In order to cooperate with Mr. City Lord, I am willing to take the risk! Well, time is pressing. Let me go to Mr. City Lord's city in the name of delivery. Let me see Mr. City Lord's goods! "
