Chapter 731 Red Robe


    For Calga, this is his greatest opportunity and the biggest problem in his life.


    Because next, he will be a representative of the Red Rou Masters Association to discuss with the Inquisition about the establishment of a stronghold in Arkham City.


    For any Hongbou master, external negotiations are a fatal mistake. Because if you can obtain the consent of the lord of this territory, you will become the representative of the stronghold here. For the Red Robe Mages, this means a large amount of money and magical items and the possibility of their status in the Red Robe Mage Association.


    Although the boring exchanges and banquets at the beginning would take up the time the Red Robe Mages used to study magic, the wealth and magic items that followed could offset this shortcoming, so the external negotiator was a beauty for the Red Robe Mages.


    Well, this time except.


    Because they have to face the court.


    Sitting in the solemn and glorious lounge, although Calga forced himself to remain calm, a layer of sweat still appeared on his forehead. For the Red Robe Mage Association, they were very eager to establish a stronghold in Arkham City and trade with the Inquisition. On the one hand, it is the habit of the Red Rou Master Association to open up new spheres of influence. On the other hand, the Red Robe Mages are very jealous of the techniques mastered by the Inquisition.


    Especially the steel machine that can carry soldiers to fly freely in the sky makes the Red Robe Mage jealous. Anyone with a head can think of how powerful this kind of load is. It can cross the sky as you wish and go anywhere they want without worrying about being discovered.


    And those steel guards, they are powerful, loyal, and their own thinking ability. Although the Inquisition has stated that the soul loyal to the Inquisition is actively possessed on the steel armor, the Red Robe Mages are more inclined to believe that the Inquisition has used some unique technology to restrain and control these souls.


    After all, people can be brainwashed, but in theory, the soul can also be brainwashed?


    Unfortunately, these are not sold items from the court.


    Of course, the court will also trade with the outside world, but what they trade with foreign countries is actually... ore!


    Although, in theory, selling raw materials is a common method in many territories, the problem is... the ore trade in the Inquisition is too exaggerated.


    Calgar once heard that a chamber of commerce chose to barter after trading with the Trial Court, and then the Trial Court directly gave him one - a full iron ore as big as a house!


    And it is the kind of iron ore with a very high purity!


    In the end, the court sent the iron ore, which was the size of a small house, directly to the city of the Chamber of Commerce with their steel machines. Then the Chamber of Commerce sold it backhand and made ten times the profit.


    After all, iron does not seem as valuable as gold and silver on the surface, but for all regimes and countries, this kind of necessity is the most indispensable, and it is very necessary to build weapons or equipment. Excellent raw materials can create excellent finished products, and these are what any country and people need.


    Therefore, the trade exports of the Court are mainly based on ore raw materials, including gold, silver, copper and iron. Of course, the most unimaginable one among the ores exported by the Court is iron from the world!


    The so-called meteorite from the sky is the remaining part after the stones falling from the sky melted. These are rare in the number of meteorites outside the sky, but they are quite powerful. Whether it is forging weapons, armor, or jewelry, if a little meteorite can be fused into it, the effect will be doubled. Even when using magic, as long as you can add meteorite from the sky, the effect of the magic array will be enhanced.


    In history, the number of meteorites outside the sky was very rare. Almost every time the sky stone fell, it attracted a large number of adventurers and mages to collect this mysterious rare ore, and there are many people who kill and seize treasures for this. After all, there are very few parts that can remain outside the sky, at most, the size of a palm, so it is naturally too late for everyone to grab it.


    However, it is this thing that is sold by weight in the court!


    Of course, it’s not impossible to sell kilograms.


    Now everyone is crazy.


    In the past, because the number of meteorites in Tianwai was rare, they were all priceless. Some countries even treat it as treasures of the country and put it in a tight custody in the treasure house, but there seems to be no shortage in the courtroom. It is impossible to sell it directly to you at a bargain price - but although it is expensive, at least it is really a matter of money and people will sell it!


    Or you can choose to barter...


    So the court immediately became a big fat meat in everyone''s eyes.


    As mentioned before, the meteorite outside the sky can double the weapon effect.


    For example, the starting point of a magic weapon is +1. If you add a little bit of meteorite during forging, you will directly increase it to +5 level, and the same is true for armor.


    The same is true for those magical jewelry equipment. Generally, the materials used to make magic props will become more expensive depending on the magic attached to them. For example, a fireball staff may require diamond dust and gold nuggets and crystals to create, so the cost will naturally not be reduced.


    With the equipment of the meteorite outside the sky, it is okay to enchant a level 5 magic. There are even rumors that a whole staff forged by meteorite outside the sky can even enchant a level 9 magic...


    Well, it''s just a rumor that this thing is so heavy, let alone enchantment, ordinary mages can''t even hold it. If any mage can swing a meteoric iron staff of hundreds of pounds, what else can you be a mage? Go and change your job as a barbarian.


    After learning about this, many people''s first reaction was that the territory of the Inquisition was likely to be hidden in a huge meteorite, otherwise it would not be explained why the Inquisition had to spend so much effort to build a wall to enclose the entire territory! So many forces sent spies, and many adventurers also entered the territory of the Inquisition to try to find the mine. Although the court is indeed very powerful, no one dares to rob it openly, if I steal some or pick up some fragments and take them out, wouldn’t I make a profit and lose money?


    As a result, the group of people almost swept the entire lost place from head to toe, but were surprised to find that there was not even a mine here!


    How is this possible? Which of the gold, silver, copper and iron sold every day in the Court of Justice does not require excavation and collection? Moreover, the ore taken out by the court is so exaggerated. Do you tell me that there is not even a mine in the entire territory?


    Where did their ore come from?


    If Duanmu Huai knew their questions, he would definitely tell them where else could come from? Of course it came from heaven.


    There are so many asteroids, you can find one and dig it up for ten years. However, Duanmuhuai did not intend to directly monopolize the entire Feren ore trade. After all, he had to give others a way out. For example, the Dwarf King once commissioned an envoy to come to the court, expressing his hope that the court would not sell it at a low price. At the same time, he also asked to buy a part of the meteorite iron ore...


    Of course, strictly speaking, what dwarves sell in foreign trade is generally not raw materials, but finished products, but the cost of ore must be counted. If Duanmuhuai sells the raw materials too low, the prices of finished products on the market will also be reduced, and then these dwarves will make less money...


    However, Feilun also produces some of their unique ore production, such as Mithril Silver. Duanmuhuai has dug so many planets, but has never seen anything like this.


    The raw materials sold by the court are mainly copper ore, iron ore, refined iron ore, silver ore, gold ore, various gemstones, crystals and meteorites.


    Except for copper and iron that can be bought and sold at will, everything else must be purchased through formal channels.


    For example, the Inquisition signed an agreement with Elaszhuo''s, Silver Moon City, Kelbourne''s Deepwater City and Bod Gate, which will sell a certain proportion of their various ores every year, including meteorite iron ore.


    This is very unfavorable for the Red Robe Mage''s national Seer.


    Because these raw materials can almost all be used in magic equipment. For a long time, Seer has been the mainstay of producing magic equipment, and they even monopolized the magic equipment trade in many places.


    After all, Sail is a country with red robes. They have a large number of magic apprentices and mages, which are enough to mass production of magic equipment of industrialization.


    But the Red Rou Master is not a good person. They like to smuggle slaves, and even engage in various conspiracies and even assassinations and illegal transactions in secret. It can be said that the reason why most cities can pinch their noses and allow the Red Rou Master to set up strongholds in them is because of the magical equipment produced by Seer.


    But now it is different. The Inquisition has opened up selling various magic equipment raw materials, and even diamonds and gems are cheap. Enchanting and manufacturing magic props are not as difficult as before. Therefore, various territories and countries have begun to improve and even prepare to build their own magic equipment industry chain.


    If you don’t do it before, it would be a loss, but now the raw materials are so cheap, and once you succeed, you can kick the Red Robe Mage out. Just the Red Robe Mage is so fucking. If it weren’t for the magic equipment for sale, who would have loved these **** who stabbed in the back!


    For the Red Rou Master Association, this is troublesome.


    In Seer''s foreign trade, magical equipment is the big head, and the red-robed mages who ruled Seer certainly did not want to see this situation, so they sent an envoy to the Inquisition for negotiation, hoping to obtain the same share of mineral transactions.


    However... Calga knew that the Red Rou Master Association was not optimistic about this mission, so he sent him here.


    Although the Inquisition Court has a tough approach, everything they do is to protect humanity.


    However, if you are so desperate, the Red Robe Mage will be at the top of the throne, and the one who ruled Seer... is a lich.


    Well, although I don’t say that to the outside world, everyone knows it.


    To be honest, Seer is indeed aggressive, but because other nearby countries are also strong, the connection was defeated several times before it stopped.


    But now……


    Thinking of this, Calgar sighed.


    All countries have begun to cultivate their own magic equipment industries, and the business of the Red Robe Mages has suffered a considerable blow. Many red-robed mages even chose to accept the solicitation of other lords and countries because they were tired of the open and dead struggles within Sail, and left Sail.


    Profits are falling, people are moving, and internal instability is unstable.


    To be honest, Calgar felt that even if the Red Robe Mage reached an agreement with the Inquisition, it would not be of much significance. Even if the supplies shipped through the Inquisition can reduce costs to a certain extent, the monopoly of magical equipment is a political rather than a commercial issue, and there is no better opportunity for territory and country that want to be cut with the Red Robe Mage.


    So will the court agree to its request?


    To be honest, Calga thinks...it''s unlikely.


    "This gentleman."


    Just as Calgar was thinking, a maid walked in, and Calgar hurriedly raised her head.


    "I''ve been waiting for you for a long time, Lord Amaris is waiting for you."


    "Thanks."


    Calgar nodded and stood up.


    Next, the important negotiations are.
