Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 662: Transactions
The location is Long Island, the backyard of the city of St. Ivan.
In the place where the peninsula is connected to the land, the Long Island Manor, the official residence of the Marquis, has already started construction in phases.
As a port city to be developed by the Hou State in the future, St. Ivan is even the first pearl on the east coast built on the natural harbor. The new Marquis mansion here is not only for the enjoyment of the Aiwen family, but also In order to release a strong signal to his own people and the outside world.
The transfer of the administrative capital of Hou State in the future!
It also allows all talents and capitals from the Old World to reach the New World via the transportation hub of St. Ivan to stay here with peace of mind.
When the Binhai Railway is completely completed in the future, the entire Twelve Colonies of Falettis will be connected from the north to the south. The combination of the first good port and the traffic artery will surely surprise the world!
A middle-aged bishop in a robe from a group of priests from the "Black Iron Cross Church" could not help expressing emotion:
"It seems that His Excellency Saint Ivan is indeed ambitious and wants to vigorously manage this land."
Macauley next to him nodded gently:
"Obviously, now that all the family territory has been replaced in the New World, it is natural to operate carefully, and Buffalo itself is indeed very advantageous geographically."
Long Island extends 190 kilometers from the Northeast from the mouth of the Hutson River, and is 19-37 kilometers wide, with a total area of 4,500 square kilometers.
The easternmost point is divided into two long and narrow peninsulas. The peninsula on the north is about 40 kilometers long and reaches the highest point at Cape Oriente; the peninsula on the south is about 64 kilometers long and ends at Montaque, the easternmost point of Long Island. .
And all the immigrants who crossed the Black Sea from the Old World to the New World, the first thing they see is Montaque Cape in the southern corner, and the Montaque Lighthouse that has been standing there for decades.
The northern peninsula has already been planned by Aiwen with a total area of 4000 acres of vineyards. A large number of agricultural leaders have settled in and reclaimed. The first batch of managers are the family members of the crew who have entered their own roles.
According to the plan, it will be completed before winter and will not delay the planting of the vines in the spring next year.
As a "biologist", Aiwen knows best the unique geographical advantages of Long Island, which has an excellent climate for the growth of grapes and many crops.
In addition to sufficient sunlight, the sandy soil created by the movement of the glacier and the ocean climate on the north and south sides provide moisture suitable for the growth of grapes-sunlight, soil quality and humidity, creating a unique large grape paradise.
This land is enough to grow high-quality grapes that can make the finest wines.
Then as the "fermentation" of the key process of winemaking, if the "living chemistry school" says that they are the second, no one in this world dares to say that they are the first.
Although the adventure of [Clock Tower] has come to an end.
But the "Iron Wall Knights" headed by the Peak Knight Macaulay have not left yet. Although their mission failed and lost the [Libra Balance Sacred Sword], they knew that Ivan got the [Ancient Scroll]. How can you be indifferent under the circumstances?
At this time, their quasi-legendary battleship Voyager was still on the west coast of the mainland slowly orbiting most of the new continent. A group of wall knights quickly traversed the Isthmus of Balboa and changed in the "Golden Sea". Chengcai came to Aiwen's territory for the first time.
After setting foot in Buffalo, a bishop who had been rushed from the north was joined together, and they went together to visit their amazing saint.
Walking all the way, what they saw was the scene of thriving life despite being a waste of time.
Several barges downstream from the Hutson River brought large quantities of fur that were abundant in the Midwest of the mainland.
Hartson Leather Co., Ltd. must hurry up before the end of the autumn seaworthiness season to load more processed leather goods on ocean-going cargo ships and send them to China in exchange for 200 times the huge profit for Ivan.
Since the outbreak of the spiritual tide, Hartson Leather Co., Ltd. has been a rare source of high-quality goods capable of stable shipments. Coupled with the approaching winter, the price of fur has naturally risen.
It's not that Ivan took advantage of the fire to rob, but the laws of the economy dictated that he couldn't help it.
There are also ports that are getting busy, vineyards being harvested, fields being replanted, construction sites under construction...
Seeing this, Macaulay, who is actually close to a hundred years old and not lacking in wisdom, has a little bit of confidence in the purpose of this trip.
Subsequently.
In the Long Island Manor that has completed part of the main building and generally has the corresponding functions.
When Macaulay saw Aiwen who put on plain clothes to greet them, even though he didn't mention [Ancient Scrolls] at all, his first sentence hit him:
"My Excellency Saint Ivan, good day! Along the way, I have seen the faithful, positive and optimistic believers in Buffalo under your rule.
In order for the lambs of the goddess to bathe in the grace of the gods in a strange land far away from tulips, I would like to provide you with a batch of interest-free loans on behalf of the church to support the construction of Buffalo, with a ten-year period of no less than What do you think of this number? "
As he spoke, he stretched out five fingers and gestured.
"Uh... half a million? Golden Lion?"
Looking at his shaking fingers, Ivan couldn't help thinking that the paladin's style was too direct.
Besides, am I the kind of person who sees money open? ?
"Yes, half a million in ten years!"
Received an affirmative answer, and the light on Irvine's face burst into light instantly.
Yes, I am!
On the whole, the "Black Iron Cross Church" and the goddess standing behind it are the true rulers of the six countries of the Tulip Alliance. Not to mention the numerous industries in the countries, the countless believers in the alliance express their devotion to the church every year. The dedication is an astronomical number.
It was not entirely unreasonable that the priests of Ilya’s "Black Iron Cross Church" were affected.
Moreover, they only need to rule the spiritual world of the lambs, unlike the kings of various countries who need to be responsible for the material lives of their people, and even the industries owned in various countries do not need to pay taxes.
So they have more and more wealth, at least Her Majesty Queen Isabella is far from being comparable.
The next thing is simple.
"Ah, Knight Macaulay, I already know your intentions. Now that the feelings are in place, everything is easy to discuss..."
At the beginning, apart from entering the seventh floor of Milan with him, no one knew that the [Libra Balance Sword] was also in his hands. But [Ancient Scrolls] is different. This is a good thing that the Church of the Seven Gods and many top forces who know the secrets of the world's trends want.
Before Jeros once said that [Ancient Scrolls] described ocean currents, wind directions, geography, plants, animals, minerals, products, and unique natural disasters in all sea areas known and unknown.
After becoming a treasure of the ocean, it can even show various changes in the sea in real time, such as shore shapes, islands, reefs, water depths, and habitats for dangerous marine life.
But after they got it, they found that the label on it was actually only the part within the storm zone, from the Peacock Islands in the east to the Broken Star Sea in the west, and it did not contain the endless ocean of Fulcus as they initially thought.
I just don’t know if there will be new changes after crossing the storm zone.
Then the rumors that do not involve biological categories are also true. Ocean currents, wind directions, shore shapes, islands, reefs, and water depths are all marked in detail, but moving creatures become a little fuzzy.
Take the "Broken Star Islands" as an example. It is impossible to show the location of every creature. Instead, the dangerous borders are marked with different colors, from blue, yellow, orange to red.
The degree of danger increases step by step.
If multiple people touch the scroll at the same time, the warning color for power changes will also change immediately.
Although it was a little disappointing, it was strong enough for an adventurer.
As the ancient proverb said: "I don't know where, the world is vast. Once you know where, the world becomes as small as a map."
With the crowd of wolves waiting, Aiwen has been considering how to avoid burning his body. This happened to be smooth.
Furthermore, when he holds the [Ancient Scroll] in his hand with his strength, he can see the large red in it, let alone others?
Since the "feelings" are in place, according to Maucauli's request, Irving didn't say a word, so he took the strength of a great knight among the Knights of the Wall as the standard and copied this nautical chart to him.
Besides there is no way to display the latest developments in real time, this has surpassed any nautical chart in the world.
But the wall knights who were relieved at their goal did not rush away. Macaulay hesitated and said again: "Your Excellency Saint Ivan, I heard that you are still in the arms business?"
"Hahaha, little trouble."
Ivan's face remained silent.
But a villain in his heart has already rubbed his hands diligently, "Guest, do you want to order?" ’
Although the "Black Iron Cross Church" is wealthy, in the past, no matter whether it was a new-style warship, penicillin or even a spiritual network, it was not needed by the church, and Ivan has never found an opportunity to do business with them.
Now.
Apparently they didn't know what deal they had made with the "Alchemy School", and the goddess chose to embrace productivity in an all-round way.
It used to be the spontaneous behavior of the kingdom that is more inclined to the secular world, but now it is the joint advancement of religion and secular.
"I am very interested in the explosive missile you used at the beginning, I don't know..."
On the sixth floor, a hundred missiles were exchanged for a pinnacle knight holding an artifact. In Macaulay's view, this deal was really a bargain.
Slap——!
"No problem."
Coming to the beach, Ivan once again showed him his multi-track artillery, which has a total of 8 launching rails, and 16 132 mm cone-shaped projectiles with stabilized wings are mounted on the top and bottom.
"Knight Macaulay, this weapon can be used by even trained mortals.
The firepower is fierce and the damage range is large. This is a powerful weapon that can wipe out the enemy's dense forces on a large scale, suppress the enemy's firepower and destroy the enemy's fortifications. The battle part of the rocket is filled with hexogen explosives, and the cartridge part is composed of seven tubular propellant cartridges. The structure is simple and reliable! "
The two-word summary is:
Fuck! irritable!
"The only problem is that it is a little bit expensive."
However, Ivan still underestimated the arrogance of the church.
Although Macaulay needs to salute Irvine, who is a saint outside, inside the church, as the third-tier peak Iron Wall knight (teaching post) rare in the entire alliance, his real power is The non-staff St. Ivan was beyond the reach of the dust.
After discussing a little with the bishop beside him, without frowning, he wholesaled a full one thousand at the price of two hundred golden lions.
[Libra Balance Sacred Sword] After being taken away by the "Oath Bearer", this is another insurance he prepared.
For Aiwen~IndoMTL.com~ I got 200,000 in one touch. The goal of swinging the next sword has been completed...well, one-fortieth.
Although I feel that the painting styles of the Missile Priest, the Gunner Sister, and the Nanmu Gatling Bodhisattva are really beautiful.
But...I like it! The more the better!
To eliminate the labor cost of those apprentices of the "Mechanical Immortal School", all the material costs add up to two thousand golden lions.
Furthermore, the saint has a lofty status after all, and there is no need to worry that he will run away with the money, and directly transfer the full funds through the Royal Central Bank of the Kingdom of Falitis.
Subsequently.
It's like an appointment, except for the "volcano knight" who is clearly a hostile relationship, and the "sworn bearer" who has made it clear that he is already a mortal enemy.
The remaining Paladins that have not left have already joined together.
"Winter Knights" and "Secret Knights", even the "Silver Knights" who had been almost wiped out by Ivan, and only the scattered official knights who survived, also sent a garrison in the Sac colony of Saint Lawrence. Bishop.
