Chapter 901 Opportunity
Baron Danic was also quite powerful , and the Calais trio did not try to hide it, or perhaps they said it on purpose for others to hear, so everyone could hear clearly what they said.
Although it sounds a bit incoherent, Baron Dannik can completely figure out the problem in his mind.
Magic airship?
That’s right!
That's it!
Magic airships can be said to be Calais' core business.
This is even more important than their erosion of other countries.
Why are the merchants of the Calais Federation so powerful?
In addition to some rare and valuable goods they can get from Leo's floating city, the magic airship can be said to be the top priority!
Rare goods are indeed important, such as magic crystals, mithril, and some powerful magic equipment, scrolls, etc.
However, the number of such goods traded is too small, and there are not many suitable trading partners.
After all, traditional businesses and bulk commodities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation can truly affect the lifeblood of a country!
One of the most important ones is Calais' magic seed.
It can increase the yield several times or even dozens of times, is resistant to insects and drought, and is easy to grow.
Is this something the land-owning nobles could refuse?
Even Danik himself was moved!
Besides, the price of seeds sold by Calais was not too exaggerated in the early stage, so cooperation could be a "win-win" situation, and the transportation of seeds largely depended on these magic airships.
And there are also specialties from Leo's floating city.
It can be said that the magic airship combined with various high-yield crop seeds is the core interest of the Calais Federation.
Relying on this combination of punches, it is enough to form a strong commercial erosion, and even slowly control the farms of some countries!
How to master it?
First, they dump the seeds at a low price, and then raise the price immediately after all the previous natural seeds are eliminated.
Even if some farms are still struggling, we can buy up a group of farms and sell large quantities of crops to drive all other farms out of business.
If you still insist, you can even use some targeted "pests" to destroy the crops of other farms.
It would be easy to control the lifeline by forcing those farms to either cooperate or merge.
This is the case with the Principality of Nott.
Of course, the Calais Federation is now also taking measures according to the situation and only uses this method against a few small countries.
Slightly stronger countries would at most simply raise the prices of some seeds.
The reasons are very good.
For example, some insect-resistant crop seeds will gradually be destroyed by resistant pests, and the seeds need to be updated and upgraded to fight against them, which requires additional costs.
If you don’t pay, you will only be able to use the original version, which will also make you lose competitiveness.
But to those empires, Calais was still unusually docile, selling seeds at the base price, providing free upgrade services, and never raising prices.
This is actually the foundation of the current Calais Federation commercial nation!
Now that we have control over food, other caravan trade will naturally bring more convenience!
Even the trade profits and model of the Calais Federation made many old empires jealous.
It was only because of the face of the great wizard who was expected to become a legend and his legendary teacher, as well as the Calais Federation's docility towards powerful countries, that they acquiesced to this kind of thing happening.
This is also why the Calais Federation cares about controversy.
The reaction of a small country like the Principality of Kedun doesn't matter, but I'm worried about causing a chain reaction in other countries...
But no matter what, after Baron Danic thought about a series of things, he realized that the negotiations between the Calais Federation and the barbarians had broken down.
Although they have a luxurious lineup of a great wizard and a great knight, the barbarians are vaguely more powerful!
It’s just that the savages don’t have any conflicts of interest with them for the time being, so it’s unlikely that a conflict will break out immediately. But for Danik, as long as they break down the talks, it will be fine.
Otherwise, if the barbarians really flirted with Calais, the Principality of Kedun would be really finished.
After receiving this information, Danic crushed a precious one-time communication crystal on the spot and passed to Count Luke.
Danik's first priority of loyalty is Count Luke, so under limited conditions, he should be notified first.
As for the subsequent discussions with Grand Duke Kedun, that is their brothers' business.
Danik also found with some regret that with his weak arms and legs, he could only gather some information here.
There is too much difference in status...
The falling out between the Calais trio and the camp was also seen by many players.
Given the nature of the players, this kind of 'plot' will of course be discussed.
Therefore, when the resurrection time just arrived, the Fruit Prince and others who had just revived from the abyss were also the first to learn about the situation.
"what to do?"
Komodo looked at the news and said with some annoyance.
What an unexpected disaster!
They are all people who have no pressure at all to do dirty tricks, and of course they know the specific circumstances of the previous group wipe.
Although the three people from Calais said they would not interfere.
But their actual actions actually helped the 'Abyss Mineral Company'!
At first, they stood together without any hesitation, which made me and my group, who didn't want to offend them, hesitate.
They also returned the seized weapons to the other side.
Isn't this obviously a scam?
"Humph, you deserve it!"
It was unclear whether the Metaverse was complaining about its own group or complaining that the Calais trio's attempts to make peace were useless.
“In fact, this may not be a bad thing for us.”
The Fruit Prince can still take it and put it down.
Even though it was just a bite from the Calais trio, he was still prepared to continue licking it.
"Before, they definitely wanted to cooperate with a stronger party, but now that the talks with Zabo and his team have broken down, I think the Abyss Mineral Company will not take the risk of making friends with them again. They already have their own foundation, and they are reluctant to give up the private camp that is being built outside."
The Fruit Prince predicted his opponent's thoughts with a flickering eye.
"You're right. This is indeed not a big deal for us. We can start communicating with Calais first. After hitting a wall once, Calais and his two companions should be more receptive to us..."
…
On the other hand, after the Calais trio had obviously fallen out, they did not intend to leave the savage camp immediately.
The savages have already announced that this is a trading port. Although their negotiations have failed, it’s not difficult to drive them away as long as they don’t cause any sabotage, right?
So these Calais people openly carried out some intelligence theft work in the savage camp.
Observe the savages' wares, purchase samples, and bribe the savages for intelligence for comparison.
"Who knows about our family members? They actually spent gold coins to buy our news!"
"I didn't really want to say it, but they gave me too much."
"Hehe, as long as we don't let anyone know that we're from another world, there won't be any problems."
"Actually, I think it's okay even if it's revealed. But if it's revealed, I probably won't get the money, and I might even be punished by the Heroic Spirit. It's not worth it."
"That's true. The game developers probably want to make it progress in a gradual manner."
“…”
It was in this atmosphere that one night, outside the tent that the Calais trio had set up in the wild, a sharp arrow was shot towards the inside of the tent.
"who?"
Colin flashed and rushed out before the arrow hit the tent. He raised his hand and grabbed it steadily, and then he saw the note tied to the arrow.
There were some crooked characters from the Serfi world written on it, and the writing was very poor, but one could roughly understand the meaning.
Someone wants to negotiate a big deal...
