Richard took a breath.
Punishment, Akka.
You are really punished.
I was not surprised at all that you were hung up on the street light that day.
No, I am the boss of the Chamber of Commerce, and it seems that I am the biggest beneficiary?
It’s bad, I’ve become a capitalist.
Richard took another look at the financial report of the Chamber of Commerce that Aka handed him. The astonishing profits on it really made him dizzy.
Suddenly it feels like...this seems good?
Richard thought so.
Chapter 13 Drow and Dungeons
Aka suddenly put his delicate face closer and asked expressionlessly: "Boss, are you excited? Can you refuse such a huge profit?"
"No, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."
"Yes, we moon elves are best at sensing emotions."
"No."
"Yes." Aka was almost pressed against Richard.
"Only a little bit." Richard changed the topic, "Aka, what is the other cub blind box?"
Aka's calm eyes showed a little complacency: "This is specially tailored for the mage apprentices of the Imperial Mage Academy and the Mage Association."
"Inside the blind box are the eggs of various monsters or strange creatures. Of course, most of them are considered waste and dead eggs and are worthless, but the mage apprentices who are always studying boring knowledge in the tower seem to have a morbid pursuit of them. "
"I have specifically learned about the living environment of mage apprentices, and it can be said that it is very harsh. Some mages still follow the ancient and backward master-apprentice system, causing the future of mage apprentices to be directly linked to their mentors."
"But these mentors often use their mage apprentices as livestock. They have to work cruelly for eight hours a day and only have two days off a week!"
"And the long and boring magic research can quickly exhaust all the energy of low-intelligence mages. The too long learning cycle and the future that is not as good as adventurers make them question their choices."
"So they need to vent, but the conventional means of ordinary humans cannot make them feel happy. After all, wine, women, and clothes are not the pursuit of mage apprentices. They are eager to become famous archmages."
"But humans have their limits after all, so they will naturally focus on evil ways, such as being favored by the goddess of luck and accidentally getting a legendary creature cub."
"So I specially asked some bards to start telling a story similar to the story of a mage apprentice whose fiancée broke off his engagement, and then yelled "Don't bully the poor young man", and then obtained the legendary cub and became famous all over the world."
"Of course, in order to ensure the authenticity of the story, I specially teamed up with a money-hungry archmage and a lucky mage apprentice to stage a Jedi counterattack. I loaned him a dragon to help him defeat The evil mentor."
"Under the triple temptation of these stories, pressure, and blind boxes, the apprentices who were inexperienced in the world couldn't stand the stimulation at all and began to borrow money crazily."
"Then I promptly launched a lending business, called Hedai, which made them in a sense the economic slaves of the Chamber of Commerce. Now they not only have to be squeezed by their mentors, but also face ruthless door-to-door debt collection by the Chamber of Commerce."
Richard took another breath and contributed to the rising temperature in Nuan Dongcheng, and then discovered the fatal blind spot: "Wait a minute, Aka, our chamber of commerce seems to be unable to apply for loan business, right?"
Aka nodded: "Yes, so we were threatened by complaints from the major banks in Winter City. But it was too late. When they wanted to get a piece of the pie, those mage apprentices had no money."
Richard pointed out the shortcomings: "But blind boxes have little technical content after all. Other chambers of commerce can quickly imitate them, right? After all, they are larger and have more products."
"That's right, so in the final stage, I tried my best to make the most of it, directly reducing the price of blind boxes, selling large quantities of air blind boxes with nothing, severely ruining the reputation of blind boxes, and finally grabbed nearly 100 million gold coins. I stopped after making a profit.”
Richard's eyes widened.
100 million gold coins? ?
This is an absolutely astronomical figure!
You must know that one gold coin is enough to sustain a family of five for a whole year.
The Star Chamber of Commerce's annual gross profit is only 50 gold coins, a legendary weapon is only 100 gold coins, an ordinary adult dragon egg is only 200 million gold coins, and asking Goddess Wojin of the Church of Wealth to activate the Advent of the Saint is not enough. The requirement is [-] million gold coins.
This may not be intuitive enough, but if converted into Clintina, which sells for five hundred gold coins.
This 100 million gold coins is enough to buy two thousand arrogant Clintina.
However, Aka's blind box business has obviously offended many peers, so the future of the Star Chamber of Commerce may not be easy.
Richard pinched Aka's pointed ears and said with slight force:
"This operation of yours should reduce the income and potential of the Chamber of Commerce in the future, so the money alone is obviously not enough to be the reason why our Chamber of Commerce is recruited by the Duke and the Empire at the same time. What else have you done Aka, all honestly Tell me."
Aka was in pain and no longer concealed it: "Yes, after the blind box business, our three most mature business routes have all suffered a big blow but can still be maintained. The annual profit has been reduced by about [-]%, but this does not count. What."
She continued to say words that made Richard's heart tremble:
"I heard that mages always spend a lot of money when preparing to enter the legend. In order to help you enter the legend faster and more smoothly, I colluded... and got acquainted with the dark-skinned drow."
Richard suddenly interrupted: "Wait a minute, how come there are drow elves in the Silver Moon Empire?"
Aka continued: "They are a group of exiles who were expelled by the Mistress because Eilistraee, who believed in the good camp of the drow gods, dug upwards from the underworld to the Silver Moon Empire."
"They revealed to me an underground city that can connect the Underdark Realm and the Ashe Continent, and asked for the Chamber of Commerce's protection. So I spent [-] gold coins to buy a mining license, and went to find the underground city in the name of mining. city."
"Then I dug 500 meters underground and discovered a medium-sized copper mine, a large silver mine below the copper mine, and a super-large unmanned dungeon deeper than that standing on the mithril mine."
"It is impossible to completely block the news, so I released the news of the discovery of the copper mine, but I did not expect that the Silver Moon Empire would immediately fall into civil war, so I was targeted by both sides."
Richard took a deep breath. The excessive information made it difficult for him to handle. He took a sip of the tea made by Aka and asked conservatively: "Um, so those minerals belong to..."
Aka said firmly: "Of course it all belongs to you. All my actions are through the Star Chamber of Commerce, so don't you feel that I have paid you more and more wages this year?"
Richard asked: "But how do you guarantee that the copper mine will not be forcibly expropriated by both parties?"
Aka urged: "After all, you used to be a member of the Brave Team. This level of status is not easy to provoke openly. But now that you have been expelled, both parties naturally have other ideas, so quickly become a legend. Come on, boss."
Richard said helplessly: "It can't be that easy. It will take me at least a year to prepare."
Aka squeezed Richard's arm tightly, stared at him blankly, and said in a nonchalant tone:
"Don't you have Duke An's eldest daughter at home? At worst, you can strip her naked and seduce her, and let her beg Duke An to protect us. It's just a useless body, isn't it? It doesn't matter if you are defiled."
Chapter 14 Obviously I Came First
Aka's eyes had completely lost focus and were staring at Richard.
Richard felt a little creepy.
Obviously, the resentment of supporting the Chamber of Commerce alone for three years has made this young moon elf, who is only 110 years old, feel really strenuous and tired.
But every time he thought of Richard, Aka was full of courage and confidence, and worked hard to persevere.
When Richard finally came back from that damn brave team, Aka was still full of joy, thinking that he and Richard could run the chamber of commerce together as before, and then create a few more little moon elves.
result……
Clintina, Eve and their shadows appeared and stayed at Richard's house, which she had never lived before.
Obviously I was the first...
All these blows made Aka feel sad, but the moon elf was good at observing but not good at expressing.
It was difficult for Aka to say anything to complain to Richard, so the resentment accumulated in his heart and was about to finally explode today.
"Boss, if you don't explain clearly today, you don't have to leave." Aka took out an exquisite elf dagger and put it on Richard's neck, "What's going on with you and those women?"
Even Richard, who was not sealed, had no chance of resisting being held close by a [War Dancer] of Aka's level.
After all, as an astral mage, I have a cheating [Astral Eternal Life] debuff, and my strength and physique, which are locked to the level of ordinary people, are completely inadequate in front of Aka.
However, under such personal contact, Richard still had to sigh.
Aka has really grown up.
So Richard told in detail his experience in the Brave Team, and how much Clintina was hated by people. In addition to being useless, Eve and Shadow were both loyal wives and could not have anything happen to him.
In the end, Richard finally managed to fool him with his unscrupulous words like "I will always like Aka, Aka is my goddess."
"Humph, I know some of what you said is true." Although Aka said this, his resentment and anger immediately disappeared from his heart, and the tips of his ears turned red, and they bounced very cutely.
Aka put away the dagger and asked: "I have put all the mage apprentices who owe money to the Chamber of Commerce on soul contracts, thrown them into the dungeon for maintenance and repair, and asked those drow elves to assist in some covert work .If the copper mine cannot be saved, at least the silver mine and the underground city can be guaranteed to be our own."
"Boss, if you are free, remember to go to the dungeon to bind the contract and gain actual control. Oh, by the way, there is not nothing there. There seems to be a large group of local residents of undead creatures, lichs, and skeletons. The Black Knight and the like are not good things anyway.”
Undead creatures?
Isn't this the dungeon of a certain undead archmage?
There are high-level undead such as lichs and black knights, which means that there must be a large high-level corpse pit in the dungeon.
However, without the Necromancer, the undead creatures have lost their energy source, which should not be a stumbling block for him to control the dungeon.
As for whether he hates undead creatures or not, it doesn't matter to a mage like Richard.
Anyway, my own race also has an entry for a living lich, which has a natural affinity with undead creatures.
Moreover, when I was studying at the Mage Academy, I seemed to have a good roommate who was from the Necronomicon faction.
Even in the mage academy, the Necromancer faction is inevitably disliked by others.
After all, using corpses for research is almost impossible for ordinary people to accept.
But now that I have a corpse pit in the dungeon, I might be able to think of a trick to "earn" that roommate to work for me in the dungeon.
Oh, no, it’s a partner.
Richard asked eagerly: "So, my little Aka, where is the entrance to the underground city and where is our mine? I can't wait."
"Under your house."
"What?"
Aka said word by word: "You are raising a wild woman outside, at the bottom of the manor, 1000 meters away."
Richard was silent for a moment and asked softly: "How on earth did you come up with the idea of mining in the city?"
"The Nuandongcheng government only gave me a mining permit, but not a land purchase permit. After thinking about it, I suddenly remembered that we have a real estate, which is your boss's manor, and then we started digging."
Richard's manor was quite spacious. Although there was only one building, there was a lot of free land behind the building. Richard almost forgot about that area and left it completely desolate.
But that's fine. From this point of view, the entrance to the copper mine is within the scope of his mage tower.
Even if a legendary strongman comes and tries to snatch it, he still has to weigh whether he can face the half-step legendary summoning archmage with full power.
The mages of the summoning faction have no other advantages, and are far less powerful than the evocation mages in terms of attack power. However, they stand out as having a large number of people, a hundred ghosts walking at night, the animal world, and monsters, ghosts, and snakes.
The main feature is to shake people wildly and bully the few with more.
Aka gave Richard another cup of tea and said: "I hired some young and rebellious dwarves to mine for us, and then used the teleportation circle in your mage tower to transport it to the land, so you don't need me to enter the dungeon. Did you teach it?"
