505.Burning money, monopoly and profit·The rise of big capitalists from another world (page 1/2)
Not to mention the quick actions of Murphy and Tris, in the Stonemasons Brotherhood office in Scarlet Castle, the old dwarf Ilyich who accidentally leaked the "secret" is sitting on a chair with a face full of regret..
Facing various inquiries from others, the dwarf priest, who maintained a classic look, kept a straight face and said nothing, but from the frown on his brow and the regret in his eyes, it was clear that the voice he just shouted made him realize Got into trouble.
But the more the old dwarf behaves like this, the more it proves that he was definitely not wrong just now..
Although Professor Chen is not very involved in the daily battles and gaming life of players, he has been in Transia for almost three months. He also sees the unique "burning gold" in this world and its almost "universal" utility. eyes.
As a scholar, if the gold burning business in the entire continent had not been monopolized by the brass dwarves hundreds of years ago, he would definitely have to find a way to do some research..
This unexpected surprise caught people off guard, but Old Chen Tou was still very organized.
His eyes scanned everyone around him.
The meaning in that look made Xiao Ashina and Lumina immediately cover their mouths. They realized that Old Chentou did not allow them to tell where the ore was found, and the grayer who was accompanying them did not care at this moment. The other two grabbed Sister Palian and rushed out of the house..
As a disciple of Old Chentou, he knew what his mentor's eyes meant. He now wanted to confirm again as quickly as possible whether there was indeed gold-burning ore that could be excavated in Scarlet Castle..
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a real "strategic resource"”！
“Master Ilyich, can you confirm that this is the Burning Gold Stone?？”
When there were only old Chentou, his guards and the silver dwarf priest left in the room, the outsider scholar pushed the unique ore in his hand towards the dwarf and asked softly.：
“I know this is an absolute secret of you dwarves, but you see, even if we find the ore, we can't smelt it. Even the psionic master apprentices know that you are the only ones on this continent who have the ability to process the raw ore twice. Dwarf Mining Enterprise.
From this point of view, you should not feel sorry for our discovery of the Burning Gold Mine..
On the contrary, doesn't this mean that our dwarf companies can make more profits from Transia?？
This is a good thing.”
“But no matter what you say, it can't change the fact that I leaked things that I shouldn't have leaked, damn it! Mother Earth will punish me for talking too much.”
Ilyich complained with a very regretful face.：
“When little Loren told me that all things in Transia were terrible, I thought he was joking, but it turned out to be true. I had only been here for less than three days and I had caused such trouble..
Ah, if Lord Hadran finds out about this, my high reputation among my people will be completely ruined..
The gold-burning industry is the lifeblood of the brass dwarves
You can't understand how much sacrifice and how much terrible blood they have paid to hide every link in this industry chain in the past. That is a piece of fat meat. The brass dwarves have paid too much to keep this piece of meat. many.
Alas, I am really old.”
The dwarf architect rubbed his broad forehead and sighed.：
“Maybe after helping you repair the defense line, I should go back to Baiyin Castle to take care of the apprentices as an errand, instead of wandering around the mainland and causing trouble. You don't have to ask, Mr. Chen, about this aspect. I can't reveal too much more.
Although the gold burning business has little to do with us silver dwarves, I have enough responsibility to protect this profitable business for my compatriots..
This is a matter of morality and loyalty. Please do not test my bottom line..”
This statement made Old Chen a little helpless, but he quickly blinked and whispered a few words to the guard beside him. The witch hunter strode out of the room and returned a few minutes later with several bottles of wine..
Old Chentou uncorked the bottle and poured a glass for Ilyich himself..
But how can the old dwarf be in the mood to drink now?？
He was worried about whether he would be hunted down by the Iron-Hearted Hunters sent by the Brass Dwarves. However, even so, when Old Chentou placed the cup of unusually pure liquid in front of his eyes, his iconic big nose of the dwarves still remained. Instinct seemed to be moving, and even the well-maintained beard trembled because of it..
“what is this？”
The dwarf standing on the chair asked in surprise：
“I have never seen this kind of drink before, and in my memory, Transians are not good at making wine. Except for the occasional fruit wine with unique flavor, it is rare that you have made any achievements in this area..”
“Oh, this is a flavor from the Seris tribe.”
Old Chen put on a smile and introduced：
“One of my fellow villagers recreated this process using some grain and distillation techniques that were supported by the Nords but were about to expire. He named the wine 'Flying Sky'. Of course, it tasted worse than what I remembered. a lot of.
But it barely has a hint of charm.
I've heard that all dwarves are heavy drinkers, so don't be so sullen. Come and have a drink, my illustrious counterpart, as a token of my apology. I recall a similar custom among you dwarves..
When someone admits a mistake, they must bring the best wine they can find to show their sincerity..”
“snort.”
Ilyich knew that this was the cunning old man in front of him trying to ease the atmosphere, but he didn't care. He was very confident in his ability to keep secrets and felt that this little trick was of no use to him.！
Isn't it just sugar-coated bullets?？
Hey, watch this priest eat the sugar coating and throw your vicious cannonballs back！
Master Ilyich thought this way and reached out to pick up the wine but did not drink it immediately. Instead, he put it under his nostrils and took a sniff. Like the best wine taster, he first judged the quality of the drink based on its smell..
The aroma from the grain made him greedy, and he raised his head and took a drink..
The entrance was soft, cool and had no peculiar smell. There was no special feeling in the first second, but then the hot taste when the liquid slid into the throat made the dwarf take a deep breath, and then the sweetness of the drink in his mouth made him squint his eyes..
“ha！”
The dwarf placed the wine glass heavily on the table, gave Old Chen a thumbs up and said：
“Yes, it has a different flavor. Although it is far from comparable to our earth-aged wine and Frostburg’s winterfire wine, it is already unique. If it continues to develop, it may become a new wine series..
Hey, my mood has improved because of this rare wine..”
“Then have another drink.”
Professor Chen laughed and poured another glass for the dwarf, and the witch hunter guards brought several plates of appetizers. The two old men just drank one glass at a time, and the atmosphere quickly became better..
Old Chentou was not in a hurry to ask.
After all, he was a professor, and he knew the rules of the wine shop very well. He patiently accompanied the dwarf until he drank the fifth bottle. When he saw that the other party began to talk more and began to brag about his proud deeds in the past, Professor Chen knew The heat is almost done.
He repeated what he said just now, emphasizing that this was just the curiosity of scholars, and swore an oath in the name of knowledge not to reveal anything before Ilyich finally spoke..
“Okay, okay, I can tell you a little bit, just because you bought me such a good drink.”
The dwarf is already blowing on the bottle.
He took a huge sip of the drink, and while breathing heavily, he patted the table boldly and said：
“But you have to accept the invitation from the Temple of Gaia！
I know that you have to face the black disaster, so I am not in a hurry to let you go to Silver Castle, but after the war is over, you must go back with me. If you can pass the temple architect test, if you can become a priest of the Mother Goddess of the Earth , then this information is not considered a leak. Anyway, we are also responsible for prospecting for brass dwarves within the continent..
If you are one of us, there is no knowledge that cannot be shared.
You must promise me, Lao Chen, this is the basis for all our subsequent conversations..”
“If the Temple of Gaia is the first-class and only large-scale architect guild on the continent, then you don’t need to invite me. My dear Ilyich, I will definitely go there to visit and meet the best architects on the continent. Exchange thoughts and experiences.
It is not advisable to work behind closed doors.
Only when knowledge circulates can both parties burst out with more inspiration. This inspiration is the driving force for all knowledge to advance deeper..
truth！
That's where all wisdom ultimately goes.”
Old Chentou was also a little tipsy, but his alcohol capacity hidden under his elegant appearance was not overshadowed by time. After making his promise in a very orderly manner, the old dwarf opened up his chatter box.：
“What you dug out is indeed raw gold ore, raw ore that has not been processed in any way..
This is actually not a big deal, because there are six processes between raw ore and real burnt gold products. Two of them are not even understood by us silver dwarves. They are the secret method of brass dwarves pressing the bottom of the box..
Alas, in the past few hundred years, the brass dwarves have united large and small mining companies, and accumulated wealth by monopolizing the circulation of burning gold. It is enough to make us and the frost dwarves feel jealous from the bottom of our hearts. You know, we dwarves actually don’t. As greedy for money as others have sarcastically said, we do have a natural love for the treasures under the earth, and gold is one of them..
But those guys are pretty good at doing things, too..
The Brass Fortress distributes its wealth to the other two dwarf territories every year, inviting us to help them explore more gold-burning mines within the continent..
However, so far, the mineral veins with the largest reserves are still within the vast range of the Dark Mountains. It cannot be said that there are none in other parts of the continent, but their reserves are so small that brass dwarves do not have the need to travel there..
They only need to send a prospecting team to dig locally for a few months, which is enough to empty out the gold-burning raw ore there. The raw ore they have stored over the past hundreds of years is a truly astronomical figure, enough to last the entire continent for a long time..
