Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 185 Trading Time

How to use magic element sensing to create the magic energy machine, let's call it this name for now, is not something Drogo needs to consider.

What he needs to consider is where to find some Oli crystal ore.

The reserves in the treasury are quite large for collection, but not enough for industrial production.

"Elsa, can you find out where the largest discovered Aurel crystal vein is?" Drogo asked.

The price of Ori Crystal Ore should not be high now, so buy it quickly while the price is low.

Once other people realize that this thing can be used as energy, it won't be a matter of doubling or tripling.

And if you want to buy, it is best to do it all at once. If you buy in batches, some mine owners may raise the price when they learn that the Drogo Group is acquiring it.

"I've investigated it," Aisha replied. "Almost all mines produce Ori Crystals, because they are widely distributed in the bottom layer at a certain depth. As long as you dig to that depth, you will basically find them."

Drogo was greatly disappointed and his monopoly plan failed.

No matter how rich he is, he cannot afford to buy all the mines in the continent, and seizing them by force is even more impossible.

That would be making enemies with the entire continent.

It is no problem for the ancient dragon to fight against a few legendary teams, but if many countries unite to attack and put together a top-notch combat force of a hundred people, he will not be able to withstand it.

Aisha continued, "However, we have discovered one and only shallow Aurichalene crystal mine so far. It has huge reserves and is easy to mine."

"where?"

"It is in the Silver City-State. It is nominally the common property of all the residents in the city, but it is managed by the city lord."

Yes, back to the starting point.

It’s time to transform the Silver City-State into a small northern territory belonging exclusively to the elves.

Four days later, the Silver City.

Today is the broadcast time of the first episode of the sword-forging competition.

The city lord, who has determined a new campaign strategy, is holding the city's first magic vision viewing meeting with his team.

Unfortunately, the elves' participation was not high. Apart from Kailan's mother and her friends, the city lord's social circle, and the craftsmen who came to see the results, there were not many elves who came just to join in the fun.

However, the city lord is still quite confident.

Because there weren't many elves joining in the fight against Drogo's group.

In recent times, he has been watching a lot of films produced by the Drogo Group.

You won’t know until you see it, it’s really interesting.

My favorite is Tom and Jerry. I feel the plots are very interesting. As for the other magic movies, some of them seem too heavy.

When I get older, I don’t like too serious topics anymore. It’s better to be happy.

Even tried the game.

He doesn't like games that involve playing against other players because he finds them tiring.

There are also players who like to curse.

It's understandable that he scolds me, as he sometimes gets impatient when playing games, which is very un-Elf's style, but he admits that he tends to get impatient when playing with other players.

The problem is that he types slowly...

In addition to these two, he also tried to check his social circle, which allowed him to stay up late for the first time in nearly a hundred years.

This made the city lord wonder whether the elves' low-desire life was because there were not so many things to entertain them in the past.

Coupled with the long life span, we have seen too much and have lost our sense of novelty.

The massive amount of information brought by the Internet has obviously solved this problem.

In two years, the elves in the city will surely realize the correctness of his decision. "Mr. City Lord, my boss Drogo is here today and wants to discuss the issue of the cultural exchange week with you." The store manager came over and said.

He is now in high spirits, and a huge bonus for advancement is beckoning. He wants to improve so badly.

"Okay, then after the event is over, we'll go to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss in detail."

The city lord didn't expect Drogo to visit him on his own initiative. He thought it must be something related to cooperation.

Electioneering is a money-burning activity, and his own savings are enough, but who would refuse funding that comes to his doorstep?
Two hours later, the city lord gave a summary speech on the stage and brought Simon, who won the first place in the first issue, to be the face of their faction.

Simon was not aware that he had chosen a side because the city lord told him to help him make a public statement.

It was made clear that the accident that led to his father's death was an accident during the experiment, and not that the former first craftsman of the elves had gone mad and was engaged in some evil conspiracy.

Similar rumors have been circulating in the city for decades.

“I hope that we can unite like the great heroes who built this city-state, transcend our differences, and together lead the city to a greater future.

"Tonight, I ask for your cooperation, your support, and I sincerely ask for your vote. Finally, thank you for being here."

The city lord ended his speech with an impassioned speech, which sounded very passionate, but in fact not many elves listened.

Obviously everyone is more interested in Simon.

It was a genius decision to let Simon speak for himself.

Back at the city lord's mansion, Drogo had been waiting for a while.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." The city lord was very humble. After all, he was the one who wanted the money.

"No need to be polite. I'll be straight to the point. Drogo Group will help you get re-elected." Drogo's small body was filled with the aura of a big boss.

Straight to the point? Is there such a metaphor in the common language?
The city lord had never heard of such a statement, but he roughly understood what it meant and was prepared to explain his ideas and needs in the traditional way.

"Then let me introduce you to the current policy and the approximate amount of funds required..."

"In fact, we can provide a more effective campaign plan." Drogo interrupted.

"How about, for example, making all your candidates disappear?"

"You're kidding." The city lord smiled awkwardly, but Drogo didn't look like he was joking.

After a moment of silence, the city lord still refused and said, "I think it is more in line with my philosophy to cooperate in a normal way."

"What a shame! How about letting your competitors wake up in the morning to see their beloved pet's head cut off and placed on the bed?" Drogo proposed another plan.

"If that's the case, I think we should not cooperate." The city lord said seriously.

Another silence.

"Hahaha," Drogo suddenly laughed, "It's just a little joke. Don't be so nervous."

Drogo is not joking. If the city lord agrees to the above plan, he will lose the qualification to cooperate.

A creature that does not hesitate to sell out its own kind for its own benefit is definitely not a qualified collaborator.

Who can guarantee that he will not easily betray the partnership for new benefits?

Then Drogo will have to destroy him humanitarianally.

Quite troublesome.

"In fact, our plan is to create unprecedented reputation for you through media channels," said Drogo.

The city lord did not ask how it was built specifically. As a senior city lord, he certainly knew that there was no free assistance.

"So what's the price?"

"The Ori Crystal Mine," Drogo said directly. "I intend to reopen your Ori Crystal Mine."
