Chapter 674: Lori

But Gerry also knew Cook’s instructions, so he didn’t focus on Cook. However, when rewarding Cook’s mercenary team, Johnny said Cook’s talent was excellent, but it fell in Gerry’s heart. Nothing great, Gerry knew most of Cook's things, so Gerry didn't show a shocked look, which caused Johnny to struggle for a long time.
There are several rewards. The first is the reward of gold coins. The second is the share of the magic crystal mine. Generally, the entire mercenary team occupies about 1%. In addition, Gerry also gives a reward for a magic weapon. Not to mention this is a big deal.
You must know that whether it is the share of the magic crystal mine or the gold coins, these are all consumables. Yes, that is, it is possible that you will have no magic weapons for the rest of your life, but magic weapons are different. For ordinary people, this thing is An heirloom.
However, there are exceptions. Tyson chose the share of Demon Crystal Mine. Tyson said very clearly, because he felt that he had no hope of promotion, so the share of Demon Crystal Mine was more stable, and Tyson’s son did not become The ideal of a mercenary, his son wants to be a businessman.
Latif, Lars, and Giro all chose magic weapons. Lira also chose the share of magic crystal mines. Of course, Cook also chose magic weapons. As for Jonas, he also rewarded a magic weapon, Jonas. Excited, because Jonas got a magic shield of earth type, which was countless times better than what he had used before.
The next step is to celebrate the reception. The reason why Gerry made the reward so grand is for others to see, because in this unknown jungle, who knows what treasures are waiting for people to discover, so Gerry erected The role of an example.
But there are also a lot of troubles. For example, the Monto Empire had objections to Gerry’s discovery of the magic crystal mine, because in this way, Gerry did not pay for the land to buy, because a low-level magic crystal mine is worth hundreds. Ten thousand gold coins, and high-level magic crystal mines, tens of millions, hundreds of millions are possible.
But unfortunately, this objection was resisted by everyone, because there were too many people buying land in the Montau Empire. If Gerry was pressured to hand over the Magic Crystal Mine, or to pay a certain fee, then the rest What if mineral deposits are found in the land of the people? Doesn't it mean that I have to pay the fee?
However, the Montau Empire was weak, and those who bought the land were all big powers, so they continued to wrestle. Of course, the Montau Empire also clamored for it. The conventional forces of the Montau Empire were pitiful.
After the reception was over, Cook went to Gerry privately. It seemed to outsiders that Cook was bargaining with Gerry. After all, the Chamber of Commerce is very resourceful and there is more than one magician willing to rely on Cook.
"My Lord Baron!" Gerry saluted Cook respectfully.
"Uncle Gerry, don't be so polite." Cook said with a wave of his hand, holding Gerry's hand.
Gerry hurriedly said: "My lord, subordinates must look like subordinates and distinguish between public and private."
Gerry is actually very grateful to Cook. There are dozens of swordsmen from a crippled swordsman to the great swordsman under his hand. There are also ocean knights, sky knights, and magicians. There are not one, two. Everywhere is respected by others. Whoever gave all of this was given by Cook. Therefore, Gerry is always grateful to Cook, and he does things with special care.
After Cook sat down and listened to Gerry’s report, the development of the port and the jungle went smoothly. It is expected to end before the rainy season, but the consumption is also quite large. 50 million gold coins have been invested in the construction of the port. With the passage of time and the commencement of engineering construction, this number will soon double several times.
Cook said comfortingly: "Uncle Gerry, don't be afraid to spend money, the project must be done well, after all, the water flow of the Da Murray River is too turbulent during the rainy season."
"Well, with the assistance of dwarves and dwarfs, I don't think there is any big problem." Gerry nodded in favor.
Cook then asked: "Uncle Gerry, have you figured out the identity of the person who mines privately?"
"My lord, I figured it out. This is their status. What happened on our side just happened. The mercenary union, the magician union, and the thieves union sent the information of these people, but they demanded to establish in the port. The club." Gerry took out a stack of materials from the space ring.
"Yes, as time goes by, the port will definitely become more and more prosperous, but you have to plan." Cook nodded while reading the information.
Gerry also nodded endlessly and explained: "My lord, the planning is also done by dwarves. I think it's reasonable. Would you like to take a look?"
"No need, as long as there is a plan, but this port will be a very important material gathering and distributing place in the future, so a large amount of storage area should be reserved, and the other is public security, fire, and waterproof. These facilities must be kept up and don't watch. It’s okay. When it rains, it will flood the Jinshan Mountain. If that happens, I’ll find your uncle Gerry’s trouble." Cook remembered some cities on the earth. They usually look pretty pleasing to the eye, but when it rains, it will flood Jinshan Mountain. , Drowning people has become a routine.
"Hmm!" Gerry nodded and remembered.
"I want to see this person." Cook took out a document, hesitated and said.
After receiving the information, Gerry looked a little strange, but then Gerry went to make arrangements, but these people had already been escorted to the port area, so Cook had to go to the port area.
But when Cook saw the appearance of the port on the magic airship, he was also shocked. The Da Murray River here is already very wide, several kilometers wide, and the river bed is hundreds of meters deep, that is to say, the rainy season At that time, the water depth was a hundred meters higher than it is now, but then Cook realized that the source of the Murray River and the deep mountains of the Natal Mountains of the Arran Empire, he passed the Roland Empire, the Randy Empire, the Maser Empire, and Roche. The Er Empire, Garcia Empire, Magic City, Satya Empire, Monto Empire, and the Eight Empires all flow through hundreds of cities, and the total mileage has reached tens of thousands of kilometers, and large water flows can also be encountered.
The foundation of the port has taken shape, showing a stepped structure, so that goods can be loaded and unloaded at any water level. The port chooses to be in a huge curve, so the water flow is not very urgent, but it is already here. It’s close to the sea, but it’s still affected by the high tide. The difference in water level between the high tide and low tide alone is ten meters, so the dwarves have to lay a lot of wooden stakes in the middle of the Da Murray River, and then draw out the water in the port. , And then began to build, and blocks of tens of tons of boulders were transported not far away, and then put down to suitable positions under the efforts of dwarves and gnomes, as well as workers, but this stone must be excavated first. Similar sockets.
Watching countless figures shaking on the port that is more than a hundred meters high and thousands of meters long, Cook also secretly smacked his tongue. Cook pointed to some people and asked, "These people are indigenous?"
"Hey, yes." Speaking of the natives, Gerry is very proud. Gerry follows Cook and treats those natives from an equal angle. It is not like the barbarians to expel the natives. Even if Gerry wants the natives to leave It is also in the form of material exchange. However, the life of the indigenous people is not as good as that of people living in the civilized world. So the indigenous people began to try to work, and then exchanged for some exquisite copperware and food, but as long as there is a beginning, Then more and more will follow.
Gerry was even more excited and said: "Don't underestimate these indigenous people. When the wind blows and when the tide rises, the indigenous people know better than us that there are still things to eat. Some things are not poisonous when eaten alone, but they are poisonous when eaten together. , And there are some plants that are not poisonous if you change it. Anyway, I think it's worth it."
"En, Uncle Gerry, the natives are an opportunity. I think we might hire some natives in the port, and these natives must know the jungle better than us, and you know that this jungle is really a big treasure house." Cook did not say thoroughly. That's it, if you can let the natives find some mineral deposits, or buy the ore directly, I don't care. As for these mineral deposits and where the ore is, then I don't care.
Gerry nodded and said, "But there are also several kinds of these natives. Some natives kill and eat people at first sight. The natives we deal with are much better, but the war between these natives is cruel. If one tribe attacks another tribe, all men, old men, and boys over one meter tall will be killed."
"Well, Uncle Gerry actually we can fund obedient tribes, weapons, and equipment, and we can take out some appropriately. These natives will be the outer defenses of our harbor in the future." Another not very good idea came up in Cook's mind.
Gerry really admires Cook. He just wants the indigenous people to work here. After all, it’s not cheap, but Cook’s methods are even more so. Not only do he organize the indigenous people to grab things from other people’s territories, but also these indigenous people to act. The role of cannon fodder, although it sounds bad to say, but Gerry still admires Cook's idea, this idea is not common people can think of.
The magic airship landed slowly. It's not just human guards here, but more ogres, trolls, dwarves, and dwarves, but so many races live together, and it’s a bit troublesome. The customs of each race are different. , So Gerry specifically delineated some ethnic settlements.
The port is already very lively. There are groups of mercenaries, patrol teams, and carriages. It is very prosperous. From time to time, you can see teams of mercenaries shouting and carrying numbers. The meter-long fish walked through the simple streets. Cook knew that this was the mercenary who cleaned the creatures in the Damurei River, but Cook didn’t know that the construction of the port gave birth to a large number of water system fighting spirit fighters. They are all extremely tasteless, and the combat effectiveness is the weakest, but here is different. The water system is the strongest. If nothing else, the water system vindictive fighters can snorkel in the water for a long time, which is a big advantage. .
Cook walked into Gerry’s residence very low-key. Gerry’s residence was of course very spacious, because this is not only Gerry’s residence, but also the future city lord’s mansion. Cook is dressed in a magic cloak, and no one doubts Cook’s identity. , Because Gerry has more than one magician under his hand.
Cook saw the person he wanted to see, in a flaming robe of a magician. When Cook saw this acquaintance, he was slightly lost: "Magic?"
The acquaintance on the opposite side saw Cook here with a complex expression. Hearing Cook’s question, he just nodded slightly: "Hmm!"
"Lori, why did you come to be a mercenary?" That's right, the magician opposite is Lori Haysek, the guide who guided Cook into the magical realm, the little princess of the Clary family of magic in the Roland Empire.
Monge Clary is the guardian of the Roland Empire. Cook can’t figure out why Lori would be a mercenary. Lori’s father is a fire magister, and Lori’s grandfather, Monge? Clary is even an eighth-level holy wizard.
"It's not because of you!" Lori gritted her teeth and said such a sentence.
Cook finally listened to Lori’s explanation. It turned out that this mercenary group belonged to the Clary family. However, due to the position gap between Cook and Lori at the time, and some misunderstandings, Cook and Hesek’s family There were some contradictions. It was precisely because of these contradictions that Cook’s first mercenary group was dissolved. Of course, Cook was also afraid that he would endanger the Hesek family. Of course, the Hesek family did not reach out to Cook. It is to stay away, but with the continuous rise of Cook, the life of the Hesek family is difficult.
Even the grandfather of the eighth-level Saint Sage Lori, Monch Clary, has been suppressed to a certain extent. The civilized world has the most people who tend to be inferior. Although Cook did not expressly express that he will be embarrassed, others are not allowed. Accidentally, the relationship between your Clary family and Baron Cook is not good. Don't come to me if you have anything to do in the future, someone made it clear.
Even the royal family of the Roland Empire is a little worried, because Cook's strength is too great, and Cook's Baronial Territory and the Roland Empire are only separated by a cable bridge, so it is clear about the development of the Cook Territory, so The Royal Family of the Roland Empire also had to keep a distance from the Clary family. Simply put, Lori’s grandfather had never worried about the experimental funding before, but now the Empire’s Ministry of Finance is going to get stuck on you. , I don’t have any money anymore, wait a minute, people don’t give it to you, you are very respectful when you come, and finally they said that they should take some first, but this is what I gave under tremendous pressure, of course Lori's grandfather could not just take tens of thousands of gold coins at once.
This is naked face slap, Lori's grandfather is not good enough, but to the Ministry of Finance of the Empire, even Lori's grandfather, it can't be like that. Those who can hold everyone’s money will be good. Is it related? Lori's grandfather is a big family, not a person.
In addition, Loli’s grandfather still has a large number of followers, so this expenditure is definitely not small. What is a penny? Is this a hero? This is it. Originally, Loli’s family and Loli’s family had some business, but just Even the empire has to keep a distance from you, do you still expect business to flourish? So the family finally decided to form a mercenary group, and the buddies were no longer in the Roland Empire.
But they still underestimated Cook’s reputation. When the mercenary group was formed, they still received some lucrative rewards, but if you took other people’s quests and robbed them of their jobs, then they would definitely not do it, and you were paralyzed. , I still want to wait a few days to pick up this task. At that time, no one would pick up the task. After the date, the person who posted the task would definitely have to increase the price. Isn’t I, I’m still making money when I’m idle, but I don’t care about it. No matter what kind of circle, everyone has a hidden rule in it. If you enter rashly, others will definitely reject you, so someone inquires about the origins of this mercenary group. Now, the relationship between the mercenary group and Baron Cook is not very good, you can figure it out.
As a result, the mercenary group's life is not getting better. The mercenary union all pretends to be stuck with the mercenary group's mission, and even more difficult to complete the mission. People turned their faces, you are paralyzed, what about you and Baron Cook, this Don’t you let Lao Tzu be hated? In a word, it is to find an excuse to fall back on the account. After all, the task of writing is to deal with the employer face-to-face, so the mercenary group finally had to trade at the very low price of the original remuneration. At this time, Lori’s family knew about the library. Gram's reputation.
"Oh!" Cook sighed after listening. He didn't expect that the Pride of Heaven would fall to where it is today. Because of the bad mix, the mercenary group can only come in remote places even though they are all intermediate professionals. Mixed up.
"Ku...Baron..." Lori's lips were about to be bitten. She wanted to call Cook directly, but she stopped after she shouted a word, and finally had to call out the word Baron.
Cook interrupted Lori aloud and said: "Lori, I didn't mean it. Please believe that your family is my guide, and I Cook is not an ungrateful person. Don't worry, there will be no such thing in the future. It’s the situation~EbookFREE.me~ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!" Lori herself was a bit wronged, because all these decisions were not her own, and she had some other ideas about Cook at the beginning. Li has also been collecting Cook's situation, knowing that the young man in front of him has tremendous strength. It can be said that three or five Roland Empires are not opponents. Hearing Cook's words, Lori's grievances suddenly flooded.
Cook had a headache, and Cook was most afraid of women crying, but Cook still persuaded him: "Lori, you should go back to the academy to study attentively. Your talent is excellent, and it happens to have a company with Mickey."
Speaking of Mickey, Cook was moved, Lori was still crying, Cook had to contact Mickey, Mickey was still in the Roland Empire. After going back this time, Mickey's father, Poon, was actually received a grand reception from the Roland Empire, so the time had to be postponed.
Mickey has no way to come. After all, the single-player teleportation array is in the magic city. The magic teleportation array in Cook's hand is not connected with the wizards’ union. Cook has to bite the bullet and hand the handkerchief to Luo. Li: "Don't cry, it won't look good if you cry and swell."
"Wow!!" Unexpectedly, Lori hugged Cook and cried loudly. Cook was taken aback and then relaxed.
