Chapter 530 Comprehensive Cooperation

"I'm sorry, Lord City Lord, I'm a little late. Those troll corpses have probably been processed and turned into various raw materials." Gavin now made the mistake of not being interested in selling raw materials, "But he has a compromise.

It is proposed that they can cooperate to develop troll-related products. They will provide the core materials, and we will provide the auxiliary materials and technologies. The initial products will be divided 50-50 by them. What do I think?"

The materials produced by the troll body are a little different from the recycled gems.

The quantity is too large, the product value is relatively low, and the quantity must be removed initially, and the manpower required for production and manufacturing must be expensive.

The same is true for auxiliary materials, which are generally not expensive but are large in quantity and time-consuming and laborious to collect.

If you can split half of it and enjoy the profits, it's definitely a very cost-effective deal.

Of course, the price was not something Gavin could just bid casually, but it was specially calculated by the professionals he commanded. He did not have so many mages who were good at alchemy, so it would be inevitable to find someone to cooperate with in the future.

Unexpectedly, Raymond came to the door first.

Raymond made some calculations in his mind, and after realizing that the matter was quite profitable, he nodded without hesitation: "It's a deal."

"The Lord of the City is very happy, and he likes to do business with people who are happy." Gavin said happily, "Sir, the Lord of the City, what kind of cooperation projects do you have? Let's talk about it together."

"Another cooperation project, otherwise related to that city, he hopes to sign a long-term iron ore purchase contract with the lord." Raymond said directly, "They have a dwarf ironworks in the Snowflake Mountains.

You can use dwarven technology to smelt iron on a large scale and produce the most awaited dwarven steel ingots."

Dwarven Steel Ingot.

As soon as he heard that name, Gavin was 100% sure that the dwarf iron smelting plant controlled by the wrong party was not an ordinary coal-fired iron smelting plant. Could it be heated by magma like the silver smelting production line in South Clypt?

Can directly bind the elemental heating of the fire element, the kind of fully automated one-stop service.

"He personally prefers the cooperation method like a troll corpse. He provides the raw materials, we provide the technology, and he gets 70% of the initial income, and the iron ore transportation work is left to him." Gavin threw out a new temptation point.

, "Once the city lord agrees to that plan, the iron ore transported to my dwarf ironmaking production line will not belong to the dwarf statue city. He will mobilize more iron ore from other channels to transport it.

I process and produce it there.”

The other channels mentioned by Gavin are naturally not the iron mines in the Black Well of Long Oak Ling.

He is no longer inclined to sell iron ore, but building his own iron smelting plant is not very realistic in the short term.

The traditional method of smelting iron is not only very consuming, but also causes serious environmental pollution, which is very unpleasant in front of the natural race.

And since he has such a close relationship with the natural race, he has many places for them to rely on. This is probably the main reason why Gavin has not promoted the iron smelting plant in the Dragon Oak Territory.

If it is possible to reach an agreement with Raymond, even if it is a 50-50 split, it will be far more profitable than building an iron smelting plant on your own - iron smelting is very costly.

As for the iron ore in Heijing, of course it cannot be transported purely by land, but can be transported from Mis Noel through shadow dragging.

Although the wrong side is very profitable, there is nothing you can do about it.

Who let the wrong party control the absolutely wrong technology?

That can be considered a win-win situation.

"Deal." Raymond nodded happily again.

Just as Gavin guessed, his dwarf ironworks is a dwarf automated production line, bound by the fire element.

Those fire elements require a part of the material from the material plane for supply, but they do not have most of the heat and cannot absorb the energy from the fire element plane.

The dwarf city where the dwarf ironworks is located was abandoned not because of the war, but because the iron mines there were hollowed out by the dwarves and had to be abandoned.

Unfortunately, there are no large iron-producing mines near Shwetavon for them to feed on.

Raymond had been guarding the chickens that would produce golden eggs for a while, but he had no rice to feed him. When he heard that Gavin wanted to use kobolds to dig iron ore in the Dwarf Statue City, he immediately rushed over.

Although the profit is smaller than eating iron ore directly, it is still better than nothing at all.

The wrong party is not an ordinary person. Once he annoys him and hires dwarves to build a dwarf ironworks of his own, he will be stunned. It is better to have a win-win situation where the benefits are equally shared.

It can be seen.

"Come on, don't you feel comfortable negotiating a deal with the Lord of the City?" Gavin felt that it was the happiest deal he had ever negotiated in his life. "Their mine truck must not be empty when it comes back. He hopes that the Lord of the City can send

People help purchase food and supplies.”

The industrial layout and population structure of Dwarf Statue City and Blood Gorge City are destined to not become large farming cities. Most of the food must be obtained from outside. Is Ritawen definitely one of the most suitable sources? We will further expand other sources in the future.

As for channels, just seek business connections and everything else will be easy to handle.

"That's simple. When the time comes, he will send the Municipal Chamber of Commerce to follow up on this matter and purchase the cheapest grain from the surrounding area for us." Compared with the huge benefits of iron ore, that is not a small profit, so Raymond will naturally not

Move your thoughts there.

"There is something I need to consult with the city lord Pavilion Dong. I wonder if I am proficient in mist enchantment? Or do I know a spellcaster who can cast that spell?" Gavin took the opportunity to ask.

A city without fog enchantment is not a good city.

But if you want to envelop the Dwarf Statue City and Blood Gorge City, you can do it with seven or eight rings of mist enchantment. You need at least nine rings.

The only person Gavin knew who was qualified to cast that spell was the legendary arcanist Filancini.

Unfortunately, she was trapped in one place, with no way to rush over, and no time to cast the long-lasting ritual spell.

"Is that the third cooperation he wants to ask for?" Raymond said with a smile, "He has just perfected the method of casting the nine-ring mist enchantment recently. If I can trust him, I will prepare the corresponding casting materials.

, he can build the fog barriers of those two cities for me for free."

Compared to the deal the two of them had just negotiated, the casting of two nine-ring spells was just a drop in the bucket, and Raymond directly used it to sell favors to Gavin.

After all, those two cities began to involve his interests, so he naturally didn't want anything to happen.

"That's great." Gavin said with a smile on his face, "If the Lord of the City casts it, he can rest assured. I wonder what casting materials he needs to prepare?"

"There are three main materials, red silver, phase spider web and amber, and there are two versions.

A temporary one requires a ton of red silver, a phase spider web and a fist-sized piece of amber to create a fog barrier that will last for a year.

The other one is permanent, but the required casting materials are nine times that of the temporary one." Raymond directly listed the list of casting materials.

"Red silver is easy to handle. He happened to have purchased a batch of thick silver ingots recently. It just needs to be further purified. There is always a shortage of amber in the market. One that is the size of a fist and costs 10,000 gold coins should be able to get it."

The most difficult thing to deal with is the phase spider web. Over there in the Glory City, there are only three of them in the entire market, and the price of two of them is abnormal.

No wonder the price of phase spider silk has always been high. It turns out that it can not only be used to create portable dimensional holes, but also one of the casting materials for mist enchantment, and the demand is very high.

It's easy to handle two pieces, but if you need more than a dozen, it's a bit troublesome." Gavin directly counted the supplies in Yidong's legs and found that the most difficult thing to handle was the phase spider web.

Raymond nodded in agreement and said: "The supply of phase spider webs has always exceeded demand. Firstly, the demand is high, and secondly, for spiders that travel between two worlds, ordinary mercenaries have no way to pay by mistake, let alone collect them.

Their spider webs.

Why don't I collect the temporary amount first, build a temporary fog barrier, and protect it there. Apart from the duration, there is not much difference between the temporary and permanent ones in terms of capabilities.

It's not too late to wait until I have collected enough resources to build a permanent one. Although it will cause a certain degree of waste, it will at least buy me a certain buffer time."

"That's all we can do." Gavin reluctantly accepted the installment payment method.

Is the gap in the eighteen phase spider webs really too big? Is the thing priceless? He is currently interested in buying it in several big cities such as Waterdeep, Baldur's Gate and West Gate, and so far he has only bought it.

Three roots.

It seems that there is a need to select candidates and form several teams of phase spider hunters to specialize in collecting phase spider webs.

Because as you continue to develop, the number of phase spider webs you need will increase.

"The Mist Barrier is not static, but can carry many special effects. Each three rings carries an effect. What kind of effect is required depends on the Baron himself." Raymond explained to Gavin in detail.

Introducing the status of the Mist Barrier.

"I don't know what options are available?" Gavin asked humbly for advice. Although he knew a little about the mist barrier, he didn't know it thoroughly, so he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to learn more about it.

"It's forbidden to teleport, to fly, to dig, to be invisible and to create monster guards. Currently, he only has those five types of fluids he has mastered." Raymond replied.

Although he did not explain in detail, it was easy to understand. Gai Wen basically understood what red meant. He thought about it for a while and said, "The situations in the two cities are different. The fog barrier formed over the Dwarf Statue City is definitely not

Three-dimensionally, it covers the entire dwarf statue, and there will definitely be a lot of dragon-shaped kobolds and missing firepower there, so there is no need to be grounded.

The biggest problem is whether to dig through the mountain or dig in from the east. Teleportation, digging and invisibility are prohibited in the Dwarf Statue City.

Over in Blood Gorge City, teleportation, flying and invisibility are prohibited."

Although there are also worries about digging in Blood Gorge City, the number of flying monsters and the existence of digging monsters pose a greater threat, so naturally the larger one will be chosen first.

As for the option of monster guard, Gavin simply ignored it.

Both cities will have a large population in the future and will have their own guards, so there will be no need to waste precious manpower there.

"In addition, he very much needs to conduct on-site surveys to prevent accidents when casting the spell." Raymond made a new request.

"No problem." Gavin readily agreed, "He will accompany me."

From now on, all the mist barriers there will beg him to cast them, and that little bit of trust must be given.

Raymond's use of the mist barrier has an additional benefit. The other party is the lord of the city and can escape the monk, but not the temple, especially if the two parties are about to have a lot of interest disputes.

The two of them had just finalized the deal from Donglai, which was about cooperation and a deal involving relatively large interests.

When it really unfolds, there will definitely be more trade points between them.

For example, the gigantic livestock produced in the Giant Plains are something that Retavin City does not have. After seeing their pulling power, you will definitely be tempted.
