Weird Wizarding World

Sir Marvin, please sit down.

In the study, Altbold gestured with a smile.

Marvin, who was wearing a gray robe, smiled awkwardly, took off his hood with some restraint, and sat down opposite Atbold.

Good evening, Mr. Atbold. After sitting down, Marvin greeted Atbold, but judging from his sitting posture, he did not seem to be as embarrassed as he appeared when he entered.

Good evening, I wonder why you are here at this time? Atbold asked.

Marvin glanced at Atbold, adjusted his sitting posture, and said:

It's like this. During the discussion during the day today, I didn't understand something very clearly, so I'm coming here to ask you again.

So that's it. Altbald suddenly realized, and continued to ask with a normal expression: What is it that I didn't understand?

...There are still some things that are not clear about the guide selling price in the region... Marvin said.

What's unclear about it?

It's just...well, can the specific amount of the guidance price be discussed? Marvin said casually.

The guide price of Ti Laimei Plain is based on comprehensive consideration of the different situations of each region and each chamber of commerce. It is very reasonable, so generally speaking, no changes are allowed in principle.

“Of course, we also take into account that special circumstances may arise, so the specific amount of the guided selling price can still be discussed.

It's just that the process is more complicated. You first need to submit specific reasons to us, such as the transportation cost is too high, and then we must investigate and confirm before we can formally discuss changes.

Altbould answered seriously, and finally asked: Is there anything else you want to know, Mr. Marvin?

So... it's gone for the time being. Marvin picked up the black tea on the table and took a sip. He raised his head and looked at Atbold calmly again. Finally, he still couldn't hold his breath and said:

If the Shandi Chamber of Commerce is willing to accept the guided selling price of Ti Laimei Plain, how much share can it allocate to us.

Is the Sandy Chamber of Commerce willing to accept the guide price of Ti Laimei Plain? Atbold had a smile on his face.

Just asking for now. Marvin quickly added.

Oh, it doesn't matter. You are welcome to ask at any time. Atbold smiled.

If the Shandi Chamber of Commerce is willing to accept Tilaimei's guided selling price, as the first chamber of commerce willing to accept the guided selling price, Tilaimei will also have corresponding discounts.

What is the specific discount... Marvin asked hesitantly.

There's no rush. ​​Atbold stood up, looked at Marvin and said, Sir, please. Let's go to the reception room to talk in detail.

Marvin's eyes flickered, and he finally stood up with a smile.

The Shandi Chamber of Commerce is not a large chamber of commerce. Its main business area is in the southeastern part of the Kingdom of Neustadt, as well as several neighboring kingdoms radiating to the southeast.

There are many mountains and hills on the terrain, making transportation very inconvenient.

The surrounding kingdoms are all wizard kingdoms that are dependent on Neustadt. The territory is rich in magic, but there is not much land suitable for farming, and most of the food depends on imports.

However, precisely because of this, those kingdoms generally have the habit of storing grain, and their grain reserves are more abundant than in other regions. Although the price of grain has increased recently due to the war, it can be considered stable compared to the exaggerated increase in other regions.

Therefore, for the Shandi Chamber of Commerce, buying grain at a price of nearly 100 coppers per bag is indeed more profitable than accepting the guided price of Ti Laimei Plain.

But if you really want to say that there is a big gap, it is actually not the case.

Buying food into your hands and ensuring that you have a stable supply of goods in the future is what is more important to the Shandi Chamber of Commerce.

After all, they are not without competitors.

…

Half an hour later.

Marvin put on his hood, hid his happy smile and quietly left Loen Palace.

At the same time, Atbold came to another reception room in the palace and knocked on the door.

Please come in.

Atbold pushed open the door of the reception room, looked at the gray-robed figure inside and said with a smile:

Sorry, Sir Jefferson, there is something delayed.

It's okay, Lord Atbold. Jefferson stood up and said with a smile.

He is a representative of the Huell Chamber of Commerce and has been waiting for Altbould here for about half an hour.

What's the matter with your coming here now?

To be honest with you, I am here tonight to discuss the grain trade with you on behalf of the Huer Chamber of Commerce...

That's it. Atbold suddenly nodded and sat across from Jefferson, I wonder what exactly you want to talk about?

That's right... Jefferson continued to smile.

Atbold listened carefully, nodding slightly from time to time.

Now that there is only one week left before the spring harvest in the Tilaimei Plain, these chamber of commerce representatives have gradually begun to become restless.

Tonight's Marvin and Jefferson are just the beginning.

Over the next few days, Altbold received several new chamber of commerce representatives.

Except for Marvin and Jefferson on the first night, the subsequent chamber of commerce representatives did not have more discounts, and they regretfully learned this.

Of course, at the same time, he also learned that there were actually some chambers of commerce who had found Atbold before him!

Altbold kept the specifics of those chambers closely guarded.

Later representatives of the Chamber of Commerce only knew that someone had rushed to the front and betrayed the front, but they did not know who it was.

Such news spread quickly, and the already fragile alliance formed by the so-called united front chamber of commerce representatives suddenly fell apart.

It can only be said that Ti Laimei is really unreasonable this time. Not only does it want to export grain at a low price, but it also sets a guide price, which can be regarded as overturning the table.

However, these chambers of commerce really have no choice. As long as one chamber of commerce accepts Ti Laimei's guided price and gets low-priced food, then the remaining chambers of commerce will sooner or later agree with their opinions.

After all, judging from the market, although food in the entire Neustadt area is currently in short supply, this situation is only temporary.

Once the spring harvest is over and grains are in place, the price of grains on the market will gradually fall... provided that grain merchants are willing to release so much grain.

The Grain Chamber of Commerce is not monolithic. There is only so much overflow demand in the market. Whoever sells slowly will not make the money!

Driven by interests, a fall in food prices is basically a high probability event.

However, without the low-priced wheat exported by Tilaimei, the decline in grain prices may be slightly slower due to costs, and may remain at a high level for a long time.

In the end, it may lead to a permanent increase in food prices... Of course, the increase in food prices will be beneficial to grain merchants, and they will also be happy to see the results.

It's a pity that Tilaimei is unreasonable. If you accept the guided price, you can at least make some money.

If you don't accept it... Regardless of whether you can get the food supply, even if you get the supply through other channels, how can you compete with Ti Laimei's low-priced food?

At that time, we can only watch our peers who accept the guided price make money.

However, amid this disintegration, not all representatives of the Chamber of Commerce immediately chose to accept Ti Laimei Plain's request.

In a conference room.

There were about a dozen chamber of commerce representatives gathered at this moment.

A businessman in a white robe stood up and spoke in a deep voice: Based on the spring harvest time, the wheat in the new farmland opened by Senator Jonson and the wheat in the Tilaimei Plain farmland will be harvested at roughly the same time, but they are far away from Neuss. Tate is closer.”

As long as we seize the time for transportation, we can seize the market in Neustadt before the low-priced grain from Tielaime arrives. Even if it is just a day or two early, we can still make a lot of money!

“After making this money, it’s not too late to consider Ti Laimei’s so-called guide price!”

Dougla sat in one of the two middle seats as usual, with a calm expression and nodded: What Omar said makes sense.

The rich Frank beside him narrowed his eyes slightly, showing no expression.

The chamber of commerce representatives gathered in the conference room today are all members of the Oden Chamber of Commerce Alliance and the Thomas Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

The remaining chamber of commerce representatives were not included in the invitation.

Okay. After a long time, Frank also nodded, looked around and chuckled: I hope this time, you guys won't let your guard down.

The pricing power of food... still has to be in our hands.

Time passed quietly, and the Ti Laimei Plain was always calm.

Meredith Front, Doric Coast.

The sky is blue, the sun is shining brightly, and the sea breeze is blowing softly... This was originally a leisurely and peaceful scene, but at this moment it is filled with a chilling atmosphere.

kill!

boom--!

The brilliance of witchcraft and divine magic complement each other. The blue sea is dotted with ships of different shapes. Fighting figures are everywhere in sight, reaching up to the clouds and down to the bottom of the sea. Powerful fluctuations are heard everywhere.

The fish in the water smelled the danger and had already fled in groups. Only a few slow-moving creatures were left, shivering under the aftermath of the battlefield.

After a long time, the battle came to an end temporarily.

The god's fleet slowly retreated, and the wizards temporarily retreated to the rear to rest.

This god's attacks are getting more intensive day by day.

Next to the gray-blue magic cannon, a third-level wizard named Alex sat down tiredly and complained to his companions.

If we hold on for a while longer, new wizards are being recruited from all over the country. It will be much better when support arrives.

The companion sat down cross-legged, seemingly preparing to meditate to restore his magic power.

Buzz—! !

However, at this moment, the sharp siren sounded again.

The gods just retreated and now they are attacking again?!

Without thinking too much, the two of them dived into the magic cannon, waiting for the commander's orders.

This is……

Opening the auxiliary vision, a light blue light curtain unfolded on the gray-blue wall in front of him.

Alex was suddenly startled.

That's...the black pillar that reaches the sky?

The companions on the side were also stunned, and after a while, they murmured in disbelief.

On the blue sea projected by the auxiliary vision, thirteen sky-reaching black pillars split the waves like bloodthirsty sharks, slowly heading towards the coast.

…

Those black towers are actually movable?

The next day, Golden Wheat Ear Wizard Tower.

In the study, Colin looked at the daily announcements from the Supreme Council with some astonishment in his eyes.

Although he had never seen those gray-black towers that the gods stood in the sea, he had heard about them for a long time... He didn't expect that they would show such ability now.

As he continued to read, he felt temporarily relieved.

At least the front line is okay for the time being... Although those gray and black towers gathered towards the coast, they ended up staying a hundred miles away from the coastline, and there was no abnormality on the gods' side.

With a sigh, Colin still felt a layer of gloom in his heart.

Regarding those gray and black towers, the wizards still knew very little information.

The purpose behind appearing near the front line this time is obviously not that simple.

However, those are not his turn to worry about yet. What he needs to do most now is to prepare for the spring harvest.

After all, tomorrow... the first wave of spring harvest will begin.

Thinking of this, Colin felt anxious again.

After leaving the study, he came to the palace again and found Jennifer who was always guarding the communication ring tower.

How is the situation in Tilayme recently?

Everything is fine, Jennifer said, rubbing her eyes.

Is there anything unusual in the cave?

No. Jennifer continued to shake her head.

Almost every morning in the past few days, Colin would come to ask these questions. Such a serious attitude made her a little nervous, and she was always keeping an eye on the situation in the Tiramei Plain.

Fortunately, at least so far, everything is normal.

After asking a few more questions, Colin nodded, turned around, left the palace, and went outside the city.

In a warehouse shrouded in a hidden witch circle, he found Shelley who was inspecting a certain harvester.

The warehouses that serfs were originally ordered to build on the edges of farmlands outside the city have now become the best places to park harvesters.

Is everything okay with the harvester?

After watching quietly for a while, until the witchcraft light in Shelley's hand gradually went out, Colin asked aloud.

Everything is normal. Shelley turned around and nodded, Each unit has been inspected several times, and there is absolutely no possibility of any problems.

Yeah. Colin nodded.

Where are you, is there anything unusual in the Tiramei Plain?

Everything is normal. Colin shook his head, paused and added: This morning before dawn, Lord Claire went out to inspect the Tiramei Plain. Everything is normal.

Shelley nodded, looked at him and suddenly said: In that case, there is no need to worry too much.

Colin was startled for a moment, pressed his brow, and said with a smile, That's right.

Everything that can be done has been done, and continuing to worry will not bring any help. It is better to conserve energy and save taxes and wait for the official start of the spring harvest tomorrow.

After figuring it out, Colin turned around and returned to the wizard tower, quietly began to meditate, and adjusted his condition to the best.

Until nightfall, the entire Tiramei Plain was still peaceful.

Time passed quietly.

In the middle of the night, a sudden cold wind suddenly came over the Tilaimei Plain and... the newly opened farmland near the Kingdom of Kege.
