Three Hundred and Seventieth Chapters Heterogeneous
At noon, Allen took Sean to the Shantibora Sea Restaurant. This is a special restaurant. The owner of the restaurant connected several medium-sized sails with iron chains and fixed them on the bay to form a water platform. Some redundant components on the ship were removed to keep the site spacious enough. After setting up a balcony and other necessary facilities, it became such a distinctive sea restaurant.
The lower part of the restaurant, which is the belly of the ship, has even been transformed into elegant rooms to meet the special needs of some guests.
Roger booked a good seat in the restaurant, where you can look out over half of the Herring Gull Channel. When the sea breeze blows, the water platform will rise and fall slightly with the waves. When you close your eyes, you will almost doubt that you are on the blue sky and blue sea.
&! Pig! Pig! Island! Novel .zuzudo. nbsp; When Allen arrived, Roger, the promoter, had already arrived. He greeted him with a smile: "Long time no see, Mr. Allen, you look good."
"Mr. Roger is also in good spirits," Allen replied.
After the two sat down, they chatted for a while, and then guests came one after another. After Allen, Jessica, the young president of the Lily Chamber of Commerce, arrived in a hurry. Then there are two elderly people, just looking at their clothes, you can tell that they have a lot of background. Seeing that all the guests were seated, Roger snapped his fingers. In less than a minute, all kinds of exquisite dishes, seafood sashimi with local characteristics and fruit wine brewed by the restaurant were presented one by one, covering a huge table.
After all the dishes were served, Roger stood up, raised his glass and said, "Come on, everyone here today is my friend. It is a rare opportunity for us to gather together today. Taking this opportunity, I would like to introduce this young gentleman .”
He looked at Alan and smiled: "I believe everyone here has received the news, that's right. Sir Maud of Storm City has fallen, and now it is the young and promising Ai who is managing Storm City instead of Mr. Sir." Mr. Lun. I propose a toast to him."
Several people raised their glasses to pay tribute, and Allen would not shirk, and drank to the end.
Next, Roger focused on introducing the two old people to Allen. They sat on Jessica's left and right seats respectively. On the left was Reese who had a ruddy complexion, always had a smile on his face, and half-closed his eyes. To Allen's surprise, this seemingly friendly old man was the boss of the three mercenary groups. The ranger group drawn by the Adventurer's Association is one of the mercenary groups under Reese.
In addition to the Ranger Corps, Reese also has a Trident who is good at naval warfare, and a Hundred Battle Corps that has been employed by major business groups all year round and is responsible for protection.
Reese waited for Roger to introduce himself with a smile, then turned a ring inlaid with emeralds on his finger and said, "Hansen mentioned you to me after he came back. In his words, your tactics to defeat Storm City It can be described as wonderful.
"
"Thank you." Allen said modestly.
Roger introduced another old man named Fellowes as the vice president of the Iron Banner Chamber of Commerce. The Iron Banner Chamber of Commerce is engaged in the trading of weapons and equipment, as well as copper, iron and other raw materials for weapons. Among them, guns are their main livelihood. Fellowes is very thin, and the skin of that thin face is almost attached to the bones. He doesn't like to talk and smile, and he looks like a newly unearthed mummy.
For Roger's introduction, Fellowes just nodded, but didn't say anything more.
Speaking of Jessica at the end, Roger smiled and said, "As for this beautiful lady, I don't think I need to waste my time talking, you two have already known each other."
"Our Lily Chamber of Commerce is very happy to cooperate with people like Mr. Allen, and I believe that we will have a very pleasant cooperation." Jessica raised her glass and said happily.
"Come, let's eat." Roger did not forget his role as the host, and promoted the atmosphere at the table at the right time.
After tasting a few local seafood, Roger's voice came from Alan's ear.
"Storm City has basically stabilized now, what plans does Mr. Allen have next?"
Finally getting to the point, Alan thought. He glanced at everyone in the seat, including the expressionless Fellows, all of them showed subtle expressions, obviously they also wanted to know Alan's answer.
Allen smiled lightly and said, "Storm City is rich in both copper and iron minerals. Those two veins can produce a large amount of equipment raw materials every year. I don't intend to waste it. Now, a weapon workshop is under construction. I plan to gather the blacksmiths from the two cities and devote myself to the development and production of weapons and equipment in the coming days."
"I don't know which side to lean toward?" Reese asked, straightening up a little.
"At the beginning of the construction of the workshop, it will be more inclined to equipment such as swords and armor. After all, their demand is relatively large. However, my ultimate goal is to have the ability to produce firearms and equipment by myself. For example, continuous-fire fire/guns... ..."
The atmosphere at the table was visibly frozen.
"Continuous fire/gun?" Fellowes sneered: "Mr. Allen is a layman after all, so naturally he doesn't know that even the imperial workshops of the empire are currently unable to produce continuous fire/gun. Then It is not possible to apply the principle of continuous firing artillery to firearms. For the same component, every time it is doubled in size, the accuracy requirements need to be increased by ten times. The ensuing problems, such as rifling and ammunition, are all one by one. It is a difficult problem to overcome. If the continuous-fire fire/gun is really so easy to produce, the current main force of the empire will not still use the flintlock fire/gun.”
Allen shrugged his shoulders, and said calmly: "If it can't be made now, it doesn't mean it won't work in the future. It's like a flintlock/gun. If it was placed a hundred years ago, people at that time probably didn't think they could make such a weapon. ?”
Fellows was at a loss for words, so he could only grunt, and silently picked up the wine glass to drink by himself.
Roger and Reese exchanged glances, and the latter said with a smile: "Let's not talk about whether we can produce continuous fire/guns, Mr. Allen is impressive just because of his aggressiveness. We Although the mercenary group now has fire/gun configurations, they still mainly use cold weapons. If the weapon workshop in Storm City has the ability to mass-produce swords and equipment, I hope that Mr. Allen can sell them to us at a more favorable price .”
"Of course." Allen said.
Roger smiled and said: "Iron Banner Chamber of Commerce mainly sells equipment. If you want to come here, you don't have to look far away. You can place an order directly in the workshop in Storm City."
Upon hearing this, Fellowes responded coldly: "That may not be possible. Our chamber of commerce has long-term cooperation agreements with several arms dealers, and we can't just change them."
"It's a pity that our Lily Chamber of Commerce does not do business in equipment, but the fabrics provided by Mr. Allen last time sold well, and I hope that Sur City can continue to develop new fabrics."
"Mr. Sean will follow up on this point." Allen said: "And I have other ideas about fabric production. If we can cooperate with the Lily Chamber of Commerce to introduce excellent design talents. Upgrade the textile factory to a manufacturing In the case of a garment factory, if the garments are sold directly to various places, will the profit be higher than that of pure fabrics?"
Jessica's eyes lit up, and she nodded, "I've also had this thought before. It seems that I can have a good talk with Mr. Sean later."
She was straightforward, and immediately made an appointment with Sean. Allen looked at Roger at this time and said: "Mr. Roger's business group should have gone to many places. I don't know where the Yinou Strait leads. Can Mr. Roger tell me."
Roger showed a meaningful smile. The former weapon workshop is now inquiring about the world outside the Yinou Strait. Allen has revealed a lot of information, which shows that the young knight in front of him is not only satisfied with dominating this border land. He looked towards the bay outside the restaurant and said, "Starting from Herring Gull Strait, after a month's journey by water, we can arrive at Ark Harbor."
"Ark Harbor?"
"Yes, that is also a port city. Entering Ark Port is equivalent to entering the inland of the empire's territory. Ark Port is famous for its shipbuilding industry. Most of the sailboats and hybrid ships we use come from Ark Port. Now there We are developing a kind of iron boat, which has a stronger hull, can withstand wind and waves, and can allow our adventurers to explore deeper worlds." Speaking of this, Roger looked leisurely and fascinated.
"If you don't go by water, you can also reach the hinterland of the empire from the wild highlands through the south of Violet Harbor." Reiss added: "It's just that the wild highlands are not flat. There are dangerous cliffs, wild forests, Evil beasts are full of blood and chaos. Compared with it, the Blood Rock Wasteland is simply a child's play. Few people are willing to cross the wild highlands, although it only takes about two weeks to cross the highlands. But people would rather choose the waterway, after all, it is safer. And if you’re lucky, you’ll meet Naga murlocs at sea, they’re all beautiful and sexy aliens.”
Allen was drinking fruit wine when he heard the word Naga murloc and almost spit out the wine. He wondered if he had heard it wrong, and asked, "The kind of murloc you're talking about, shouldn't it be the kind of murloc whose body is covered with soft purple scales and whose body is boneless?"
Reese laughed: "Yes, that's right. It seems that Mr. Allen has also heard of the beauty of the Naga murloc. An adult murloc can be sold for as much as 100,000 gold coins in the empire." .Of course, no man is willing to give her up if he gets a murloc."
So several men at the table laughed, and even Fellowes had a faint smile on his lips. Allen was laughing, but he was shocked in his heart. The so-called Naga murloc that Reis and the others were talking about was clearly the fleshy Naga he had seen at the slave auction in Babylon. It's just that the Naga people have always lived on one of the planets in the Ludson star field. Why do Naga people exist in this world?
Originally, Allen thought that the aborigines of this world were humans, but until now, he didn't know that besides humans, there are other intelligent life on this planet. This strange planet is slowly unveiling its mysterious veil to Allen.
