The 281st chapter is in place (8)
Qualification is strange, and it is often a tacit concept. If no one mentions it, of course there is no problem, but if someone raises doubts, especially those who are particularly heavy-weight, things will become very complicated.
Kenster is located in the junction of the three tribes, and a large part of his business is related to the elves. If Philis, the princess of the Elf Court, thinks that he is not worthy of being the lord of Kenster, and even makes such a reason that he is quite appealing, then his situation will be very passive. This does not take into account the strong strength of the Elf Court, which is fully capable of easily transferring the entire Kenster to the level.
Ai Xue hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, there is another thing. Even if we block the grain flowing from the Druid Sect, there are other channels to purchase. Of course, the price may be a little more expensive, but the price here will rise even more severely by the time being." The Druid Sect is the largest grain exporter in the entire Katic continent, but it is not the largest grain production area. There is also a lot of grain planted in the vast eastern region, but most of it has been digested by the human race. After all, the population density in the eastern region is very high around the world. But it does not mean that you can't buy food there. If Kenster's grain prices rise due to scarcity of grain, the grain merchants in the eastern region may come to join in the fun.
Danica said coldly: "Can I still form a mercenary group of thousands of people? Wouldn't it be enough to send them to rob those grain convoys?"
A bulk product like grain cannot come in secretly. It is necessary to arrange a convoy to transport it. A well-equipped mercenary group of thousands of people is enough to destroy any convoy. It is not that those grain merchants do not have the financial resources to hire mercenaries to protect them, but they have to consider the cost of doing business. To transport a convoy of grain and a guard of several hundred people, this business will be worth it, let alone making money, not to mention losing money.
Ai Xue opened her mouth and finally swallowed the sentence "This does not comply with the business rules" because it was obvious that her master was not a person who was willing to abide by the rules, and she even deliberately broke the rules on purpose.
Since Danica had told me that, Aishi had to do it. In Kenster, her Aishi Chamber of Commerce must cooperate with Danica's overall planning. As for the development of business, I will talk about it if I have the chance in the future.
...
Danica originally thought that Tyran would take some time to make a decision. After all, this was still very important to their trial in Kenster, but she did not expect that she received the news the next day that Tyran had made a decision and was interested in forming an alliance.
Since it was a conspiracy, all parties needed to be present, and the location was chosen as the branch of the Aishi Chamber of Commerce. Danica also specially set up a round table symbolizing equality in her study. Danica, Philis, Tyran and Lin Ona sat around the round table, and Fei Miller stood behind Philis, and Aishi still acted as a maid in such occasions.
After the four of them sat down, Ai Xue came in with four cups of hot tea and placed it in front of the four of them.
Taylan staggered the lid of the teacup and said, "I went back to discuss with Lin Ona when I asked me to form an alliance yesterday, and finally made a decision to agree to join your alliance, but before that, I hope to explain the alliance in more detail."
Phyllis said in a deep voice: "No problem, just say anything you have to ask or something you don't know."
Tyran glanced at Lin Ona and saw that he had no intention of speaking, so he had to speak by himself: "First of all, I want to make it clear that even if we join your alliance, we will not be fully merged with you like Danica, and we must maintain a considerable independence."
Although Danica often lives in the branch of the Aishi Chamber of Commerce, she also has rooms in the manor in the eastern suburbs, and her mercenary group must be arranged there when she forms a mercenary group in the future - there is no other place to arrange a mercenary group with thousands of people. But Tyran clearly does not want to maintain such a close relationship with Philis like Danica. The Druid Sect is also a continental-level force. Coupled with the grudges five thousand years ago, it is impossible to merge with the Elf Royal Court directly.
Phyllis said seriously: "First of all, Danica did not merge with me. The manor in the eastern suburbs belongs to both of us. She has the right to arrange the mercenary group there. Danica's mercenary group only obeys her instructions. I will never cross the line. In addition, if you want to maintain a relatively independent relationship, that's OK. This does not affect our alliance. After all, we are an alliance, not a merger."
Taylan nodded and said, "Okay, let me talk about my understanding of alliance relations. In my opinion, alliances should help each other, live and die together, that is to say, I hope our alliance will not give up on either side. If one side is eliminated, the other two sides must also withdraw."
This made Phyllis hesitate, and to be honest, it does not conform to the international alliance regulations. Now it seems that Tyran still maintains a very simple concept in Kenster's cruel trial field. Of course, this cannot be wrong. Phyllis can't say that the so-called alliance in international relations is not so "sincere". The so-called covenants can be torn apart at any time. Moreover, this requirement is the most unfavorable for Phyllis. She has the opportunity and is eager to win the final victory. This is a very difficult thing. Now I have to bring Danica and Tyran with me. The difficulty has increased too much, right?
Seeing that Phyllis was hesitating, Tyran said, "I sincerely want to form an alliance with you without any deception. I hope you can have the same sincerity."
Finally, Philis gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I agree with you. Our alliance will advance and retreat together." Faced with the threat brought by Carl and Viggs, Philis was under too much pressure. If Tyran and the others were not pulled in, the first step would not be able to continue.
As soon as a smile appeared on Tyran's face, Danica heard: "I will add one thing, our alliance may add other members in the future, but this relationship of advancing and retreating will only take effect between us. To be honest, even if you need to form an alliance with others for various reasons in the future, I don't fully believe them. I hope you can understand Tyran."
Tyran nodded and said, "I understand."
Danica continued: "The relationship between the ally can unite us and may cause internal losses. The key is whether we can coordinate our pace, that is, we should be in everything, no matter how big or small, because in this trial I can't find any insignificant little things, we should keep pace in everything. If we can't do this, we will only be in the same retreat, and there is no possibility of going forward."
Tyran asked, “Who should we keep our pace in line with?”
Danica smiled and said, "Since it's an alliance, of course it's necessary to resolve it. The human gathering area has the habit of having afternoon tea. I hope Tyran can come here to have some afternoon tea with me every day. As for the affairs of the mercenary group, I think Lin Ona is responsible."
Tyran and Lin Ona whispered, saying, "Okay, I will come to have tea with you every day."
Danica said: "It's great, there's one more thing. If everything goes well, we three will come to the end, then what? I don't think the final victory of this trial will be shared by the three parties."
Tyran said openly: "Please rest assured that if we are lucky enough to reach the end of this trial, then Lin Ona and I will voluntarily withdraw, and the final victory will be decided by both of you."
In this trial, Tyran did not have high requirements for herself. There was no way. She and Lin Ona had been in contact with so-called international affairs for less than a year. In Philis's opinion, the representatives who participated in this trial were famous, at least they had heard of it, but they didn't know them at all. In fact, after coming to Kenst, Tyran and Lin Ona were always in a state of ignorance, which was also the main reason why she was willing to accept the invitation of the Danica Covenant, otherwise they would not even know how to start. In this case, Tyran only hoped to go further and not be eliminated one or two of them, which was too embarrassing. As for the final winner, neither Tyran nor their teacher had any special desires. As she said before, they came here this time mainly to increase their knowledge.
Phyllis looked at Danica and saw that she was tasting the tea carefully. Knowing that she was not planning to discuss that issue now, she said, "Is there any other problem? If not, I will announce that our covenant will be concluded successfully." After that, Phyllis tapped the table with his finger to show his solemnity.
To be honest, Philis felt a little embarrassed at this time. She originally drafted a detailed covenant rule, but Danica said that these paper regulations were of no use. What else can you do if you violate it? Tear the covenant? Fight the rebellion? Are you not afraid of being taken advantage of by others? So at Danica's suggestion, all the rituals of the covenant were cancelled, and only Philis was the only step of knocking down the table with his finger.
The entire study fell into a somewhat awkward silence, and finally Danica spoke: "Tyran, Lin Ona, since we have signed the covenant and are planning to advance and retreat together, then I have some requirements for you. The manor in the northeast is prepared for your Druids. It has been several days since you came to Kenst. When will the refugees be disposed of and moved in? This is related to when you can start forming a mercenary group, which is very important for our next plan."
"We are already working on the process, and I believe there will be a result soon." Although that's the case, Tyran obviously lacks confidence.
Danica sighed and said, "Tyran, I'm not asking you to be so cold-blooded, but you can't have it, at least you can't show obvious weaknesses. You are showing your weaknesses now. If you can't overcome your soft-hearted weaknesses, I have a hundred ways to deal with you easily."
"Then...what do you want to do?" Tyran's momentum completely weakened because she inexplicably felt that she was inappropriate.
"If it were me," Danica turned to Ai Xue, who was standing next to her, and said, "Let me find a few gangsters to slaughter the refugees who live there, remember to silence them later."
Ai Xue said in a cooperative manner: "Yes, master, I will start to make arrangements now."
Danica's words made Taylan's eyelids twitch a few times, and she whispered: "Actually, just drive it away, no need..."
"Drive away..." Danica sneered and said, "What should they do if they come back after driving away? You are trained with mercenaries, and there are a bunch of refugees lying at the door? Those refugees have nothing, only one life left. At this time, they will not be afraid of anything and care about anything. What will you do then?"
"this……"
Danica sighed and said, "Tell me the truth, have you not started dealing with those refugees at all?"
Tyran said honestly: "Yes."
"It's okay, at least it doesn't show the outside world that you can't handle such a thing." Danica ordered Aishi, "In the name of the public security office, requisition the manor in the northeast, drive away the refugees, and then Tyran, you buy the manor from the public security office with two thousand tons of grain. It's not that you have to pay the food, so that you can give the outside world an explanation, and also give you a lesson. In the cruel political environment, soft-heartedness will have to pay the price, and the price you paid this time is already very light."
Two thousand tons of food are really not small, and it is given for free, so no supplies can be exchanged. This really makes Taylan feel a little distressed, but she also knows that her current personality is really not suitable for survival in a cruel environment. It is already very lucky to have Danica, a friend who is willing to take care of her.
After hesitating for a while, Tyran said, "Okay, I will prepare the food as soon as possible."
Danica thought for a while and said, "Tyran, you prepare first, don't rush to deliver."
"Why?" Tailan asked humbly and eager to learn.
Danica explained: "After all, the Public Security Bureau is a subordinate of the city lord. What if he wants that batch of food? But I don't believe he is worried about asking for the representatives of the Druid Sect. Don't worry, all the city lords who come to participate in this trial cannot afford to offend them, let alone the princess of the Elf King Court here. Speaking of which, the city lord is quite pitiful."
