My Magic Age

Chapter 1209 13. Cassandra's Career

I learned from Catalina that the construction of the Trum Camp in the Jero Plane was going smoothly.

The dwarf Bernd was an excellent commander wherever he went. He was not only good at commanding the army to fight, but also good at logistics and construction.

Bernd first ordered 500 barbarian slaves to dig the foundation of the city wall in the Trum Camp, and with the help of the ancient war tree, he successively cleared five groups of Nibru spider warriors who invaded the Trum area. After those spider warriors were ambushed and killed five times in a row by the barbarian slaves led by Bernd, they finally stopped sending submerged spider warriors and holding the right to enter the Trum area.

As Justus continued to bring adventure groups from Tanton City and opened up the trade route between Tanton City and Trum Camp, more and more adventure groups began to find that they would not meet Nibru spiders along the way when buying food from the Trum Camp, so a large number of adventurers joined the ranks of selling food, further alleviating the food crisis in Tanton City.

The news that Justus hired laborers to build the city wall in the Trum Camp spread in the city. Some civilians, wanderers, and beggars in Tanton City who had no assets came to the Trum Camp with the caravan of the adventure group. The dwarf Bernd organized these poor people in Tanton City into a labor team. In addition to providing three meals a day for free, these laborers would receive ten kilograms of wheat with bran for every eight hours of work.

For me, it only costs thirty copper coins to buy ten kilograms of wheat from the airport town, but for the civilian laborers in Tanton City, ten kilograms of wheat is equivalent to one silver coin. If you carry these ten kilograms of wheat back to Tanton City, ten kilograms of wheat can be exchanged for five silver coins.

As one of the first people to sell grain between Tanton City and Trum Camp, Cassandra, the Bena swordswoman of the Seven Trees Adventure Group, firmly grasped this business opportunity and established the largest grain transport company in Tanton City.

During the second grain transport, Captain Dick and other members of the adventure group were a little too conservative and did not expand the scale of grain transportation.

Cassandra took out all her savings and boldly rented five carriages from the carriage and horse shop. These five carriages were actually just five crossbow chassis with four wooden wheels pulled by Gubolai horses. After the giant crossbow on the chassis was removed, the clever owner of the carriage and horse shop added two door panels to the crossbow chassis. A simple cart with four wooden wheels was made under such circumstances.

This Bena female swordsman Cassandra then transported five carts of wheat back to Tanton City, expanding her capital again. Like a snowball, she became the largest grain merchant in Tanton City. Not only did she open her own grain store in Tanton City, she also saw another business opportunity, that is, she used empty grain carts to pull those poor civilians from Tanton City to the Trum Camp for free, and she would help these civilians contact Mr. Bernd, the leader of the Trum Camp, and help these civilian workers sign a formal labor agreement with Bernd, etc., in order to obtain some commissions.

The most humane thing about Cassandra's transportation of these workers to the Troum Camp is that she does not collect this part of the commission in advance. Instead, she will settle with the workers in wheat instead of coins after these workers successfully complete the first working day.

In addition, Cassandra was able to convince these civilians in Tanton City to muster up the courage to come to the Troum Camp because she promised these civilians that if they were not satisfied with the environment and work in the Troum Camp after arriving at the Troum Camp, Cassandra would take these civilians back to Tanton City for free.

Of course, there is also a prerequisite, that is, the civilians who arrived in Tanton City cannot buy and sell various commodities in the Troum Camp. Once they buy food and other commodities, Cassandra will no longer provide the service of taking them back to Tanton City for free.

Many civilians in Tanton City were worried that they were not qualified for the work in Troum Camp. They wanted to go to Troum Camp first, but they were also worried that once they arrived at Troum Camp, they would not have the strength to walk back to Tanton City from the camp. Cassandra's service solved the concerns of these civilians in Tanton City at once. They took Cassandra's flatbed truck to Troum Camp for transporting grain. Almost all civilians were moved by the generous treatment here and chose to stay in Troum Camp to work.

In this way, Cassandra took this opportunity to set up a labor agency in Tanton City and signed an employment agreement with the dwarf Bernd. Troum Camp no longer unilaterally accepted laborers. Bernd would issue a list of laborers in any aspect and let Cassandra select suitable candidates in Tanton City first, so that there would be no embarrassing situation of elderly people in their sixties running to the camp to carry stones.

At present, the most in-demand laborers in Troum Camp are young and strong, at least two people can lift a stone.

In addition, the camp also needs some masons, stonemasons, and carpenters. At least they need to know how to build walls, pave roads, and build houses.

Cassandra is a friend of Catalina in the Hiero plane. This time Catalina went from Tanton City to the Trum Camp in an empty carriage of Cassandra's grain transport team. Cassandra was very happy to see Catalina again. Along the way, she enthusiastically told Catalina about some opportunities she had recently.

She even told Catalina that if she didn't have a good place to go, she might as well come and help her. She had to take care of many trivial matters in the grain trading company as well as the affairs of the labor agency. In fact, It's a bit too busy.

It wasn't until Katarina told Cassandra the identity of the construct warrior who revealed Purple that Cassandra gave up the idea. After Katarina showed the town design to Bernd, she saw how well everything was progressing in the town. Everything went smoothly, and she did not stop at Camp Trurum. She immediately returned to Tanton City and found the consul of Tanton City, Knight Disraeli, with my handwritten letter.

In the letter, I explained in detail to Knight Disraeli that the barbarians currently building the town in the Trum area are my slaves. They are my slaves in the Trum area within two years at the request of the Grand Duke of Samoyed. Build a town, this time it is to complete the infrastructure of Trum Town.

For the Disraeli Knights, it might not be a bad thing for someone to build a small town outside Tanton City at this time. The construction of Trurum Camp also indirectly shared a part of the burden for Tanton City as for Nibru. The pressure from the spider warriors.

Although this part of the territory of Tanton City is still in the hands of the Grand Duke of Samoyed, the current situation is precarious. Those Niburu spider people may capture Tanton City at any time. Currently, only Di is stationed in Tanton City. The heavy armored infantry regiment of the Sreili Knights, this heavy armored infantry regiment could only rely on the solid city walls and the bed crossbows on the city walls to resist the Nibru Spiders.

There is no cavalry regiment in Tanton City, so there is no ability to make surprise attacks and take the initiative.

Knight Disraeli's hidden meaning is that he still wants Catalina to tell me that it is best to slow down the initial investment in the town of Trum, and to carefully analyze the situation in the Hierro plane and treat it with caution.

In fact, I understand that even the Disraeli Knight is not optimistic about the current situation in the Hierro plane. He just told me clearly, 'Don't throw money into the town of Trum just yet'!

Holding the reply handwritten by Knight Disraeli in my hand, and seeing his pessimistic predictions about the situation in the Hierro plane between the lines, I sighed softly, went downstairs and said hello to Mr. Billy, Returned to the imperial capital with Katarina.

Catalina and I walked out of the dormitory, and the bell for preparation for class just rang in the Royal Academy of Magic.

Catalina told me that she had not seen little Ella and Deborah for a few days, and decided to go back to the quiet courtyard to see them in the morning.

And I had no choice but to cheer up and run to the teaching building to go to class with dark circles under my eyes.

The second ringing of the class bell had just ended, and I ran in from the back of the classroom. I entered the classroom almost at the same time as the magic teacher, and panting, I ran to Noah and sat down next to him. I knew that no matter what time, he would help me find a place. Noah pretended to hold a magic book, nodded slightly and asked me: "What are you busy with recently? Why can't I always see you?"

I lowered my voice and said to Noah: "Senior Dylan came to me yesterday and asked me to help him build another 'Revenge Queen'."

"He still found you?" Noah said with a surprised look on his face, and then said to me: "I know a little bit about this matter. I heard that he has a shipyard on the other side of Weiyang Lake. A few days ago You also asked me to bring the old crew members of the 'Slave Trader' to the Imperial Capital. It seems that things are not going well at the dock."

I whispered to Noah: "This time he had a falling out with the ten inscription masters in the shipyard who were responsible for making adamantine rune plates, and he even signed a bet..."

Noah and I were chatting quietly while listening to the magic teacher on the stage talking about the most commonly used secondary wind magic runes. The magic teacher drew the internal structure of these wind runes in great detail on the blackboard of the podium. , I found that these detailed explanations were almost all knowledge that could not be learned in magic books, so I didn’t dare to chat distractedly, and started to calm down with Noah to learn these wind magic runes.

Noah specializes in combination magic, so he is very interested in all low-level magic.

And because there is a 'wind seed' in my left shoulder blade, which can control the magical power of the wind element, I also really want to learn some wind magic.

It wasn't until the bell rang that Noah and I recovered from this state of concentration.

Noah stood up from his seat, put the thick black-covered magic book in his hand into his magic waist bag, and then said to me: "Jiga, Louis said that if you have time, he wants to meet you."

I waved to him and walked out of the classroom side by side with Noah. I yawned and said, "If it's not an emergency, just wait a moment until I get rid of this mess like Senior Dylan."

Noah leaned into my ear and whispered to me: "He probably wants to recommend you to His Highness Charlie."

Noah and I followed the flow of people from the corridor to the spiral staircase. Shirley Newman was waiting there. Seeing Noah and me walking and whispering, she quickly waved to Noah to tell him to leave quickly.

It is said that Louis Mensah and His Highness Charles are very good friends and are his unswerving supporters. Unexpectedly, he actually wanted to recommend me to His Highness Charles.

I have little impression of the future heir of the Green Empire, so I can’t say I have any good impressions of him, nor do I have any bad impressions. After thinking about it, I realized that after coming to the imperial capital for so long, the Crown Prince still has no sense of presence. It's really not that strong, maybe because last summer, the aura on his body was blocked by the radiant light of Prince of Wales.

If I really have to say that I have anything to do with His Royal Highness Charlie, it would be his son 'Little Charlie'. Prince George seems to have always disliked me. Recently, Prince George and Quentin have been getting together, and he even wanted to cause trouble for me some time ago. , and then perhaps Prince Charlie intervened to avoid a conflict.

I have an indescribable dislike for this Prince George, so when Noah said that Louis was going to recommend me to His Royal Highness Charles, I acted a little blandly.

After walking out of the teaching building, Noah once again invited me to share lunch with him at the food court. I was about to agree casually when I saw Ying Li and a beautiful girl dressed as a knight standing by the fountain outside the teaching building. Her long golden hair fluttered in the wind, her bright and clean eyes revealed aloofness and pride, her thorn-tailed crystal lion leather armor glowed with a faint magical glow, and an exquisite elf sword hung on her waist. It turned out to be Ledie.

When Noah saw Le Die for the first time, he sighed and looked at me helplessly: "You don't need to explain to me, I know our lunch was in trouble again..."

I didn't expect that Le Die would appear at the Royal Academy of Magic. I guess the purpose of Le Die's coming here was probably because of what Prince James said last time.

I patted Noah on the shoulder to express comfort, then ran down the steps quickly, came to Ying Li, and nodded to Le Die.

Although Ledie's appearance is that of a human beauty, and she does not have a pair of slender pointed ears, her temperament has this unique charm of elves, which makes her stand tall and lively. , is also very eye-catching.

Just as Ying Li was about to speak, I said to her, "Let's go out to eat something!"

Seeing that I had no intention of talking here, Ying Li nodded, and Le Die didn't have any objections, so I took the two of them out of the Royal Academy of Magic. Along the way, Le Die kept silent and waited until we boarded the After winning Li's carriage, Ledie finally couldn't help but said to me: "James said you can help me?"
