Chapter 1169: Two-way choice, geographical advantage

Xia Duo has been incarnate as elves in the projection plane many times, and his knowledge and understanding of elven society may be deeper than most elves.
He knew very well that a small family like the Silver Leaf family might be able to stand in a small remote town, but when it comes to huge interests, it will definitely be swallowed up by those high-ranking families.
If you want to find it, you need to find a family with a high-level mage, or a power group with a high-level mage as a backer, at least able to carry the smuggling business, not only spice smuggling, but more in the future.
But the question is, how could he be a senior arcanist, how could he be called an elven higher mage who is equivalent to a great arcanist, or even better than a great arcanist, bowed his head and obeyed his orders?
"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!" Xia Duo sighed repeatedly in her heart.
Looking at the look that Lord Collins expected, he was a little embarrassed to tell the truth.
At this moment, not only Lord Collins needs his help, in fact, he also needs Lord Collins.
Xia Duo wanted to build an alliance with common interests to deal with the possibilities of the future.
Lord Collins may be a suitable candidate.
Before the senior arcanist, there was no alliance, only refuge, but now, Xia Duo is qualified to win over allies and engage in small circles.
In fact, Lord Collins did not necessarily mean to win him when he came to him.
A veteran arcanist with many years, he has a lot of hole cards in his hand, and it may not be that he really needs the Komanzo elves channel on his side.
With this in mind, Xia Duo paid more attention to this cooperation. As for the qualification of the agent, the Silver Leaf family could still be used before large-scale transactions appeared.
Moreover, Lord Collins wanted to expand the production of spices, and it was not possible to complete it in a short time. At least a relatively complete expansion plan was needed, otherwise the blind expansion would only be a waste of manpower and material resources.
With the gradual expansion of the transaction scale, whether it is through the Silver Leaf family to contact the more reliable Comanso upper family, or think of other ways, it is the future.
As the saying goes, "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." There are very few plans in this world that can be arranged in advance from beginning to end. If you don't take the first step, there may be no follow-up.
"Lord Collins, I am very interested in this cooperation. If possible, I would like to invite you to Savile in the south after the snowmelt competition to have a detailed discussion. At that time, the Orepus chief of the Silver Leaf family will provide us with information about Koman Ask for more detailed information inside."
"can."
Collins did not hesitate, and immediately agreed: "Please also make an appointment at a time. I will visit in person at that time and bring a detailed information about the spice category and output."
Xia Duo recalled the recent itinerary, and casually said a date: "It's about the fifteenth day of next month!"
This month has reached the end of the month. Two days later, it will be the first day of the snowmelt (May) month, and it will also be the time when the snowmelt competition begins.
Considering that the snowmelt competition will last for several days, and after the competition, Xia Duo and Niya will stay in Seventon for two more days, and then go to Leisen to take a trip.
About fifteen days later, it is a relatively safe arrangement. Time will not be so urgent, but it also shows the priority.
Collins agreed to this arrangement, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, "I wish we have a happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
…
The upcoming establishment of the Northland Alliance no longer seems to be a secret. In the next few days, Xia Duo continued to visit and talked about personal relationships, but more talked about business cooperation.
Savile’s location is superior, just on the key land route from Netheril to Comanço.
Generally speaking, from the core area of ​​Nether to the east, passing through the northern border of the Akora Kingdom, continuing to the east, and then south through the Dragon's Back Mountains, it is also possible to reach Comanso, but—
Along the way, not to mention that the Akola Kingdom is closed and closed. There are a large number of orcs around, and there are countless other wild creatures. More importantly, there are really dragons in the Dragonspine Mountains.
In the drow war on the Komanzoo side, many dragons in the Dragonspine Mountains were controlled by drow. It was not the kind of frantic state affected by the dragon madness lock, but a control similar to mind control. Can also perform magic operations.
It is almost impossible for ordinary caravans to pass safely through the Dragon's Back Mountain Range.
It is safest to travel south along the Naiser River until Saville leads to the south, then head west and south to the city of Conifer, and go to Comanso via the Tessa Bridge to the south of the city. of.
Basically, the caravan only needs to hire one or two ordinary guards, and if the conditions are better, hire one or two low-level mages to complete the journey safely.
There are basically no casualties.
In the past, the Savile collar has also been used as a temporary rest point and material transfer station for the northern caravan to the city of Conifer.
Now that the Northland Alliance is about to be established, it can be foreseen that the trade between Netheril and Comanso will be more frequent in the future.
In fact, not only with Komanso, but also with Yerlan and Ilfaran, but the trade between Netheril and these two elven kingdoms, especially Ilfaran, which does not border the border, needs to go to the dwarven port city of Asco. You proceed.
It is foreseeable that the underground passage from Genis to Asker will become more prosperous in the future, but there is a new in Zall. It is hard to say whether the underground passage will be as safe as in the past.
As for maritime trade routes, there may also be a small outbreak.
However, the maritime trade route only takes advantage of short time and large volume. The disadvantage is that the maritime crisis is uncontrollable. Even if you bring a high-level wizard, once you encounter a large amount of sea monsters, you will not necessarily be able to negotiate.
What is the future? UU reading www. uukanshu.com also depends on the depth of cooperation between the Northland Alliance’s "alliance", but Judging from the sudden change in Komanso's attitude and the almost compromised attitude, the cooperation of this alliance may be unexpectedly deep.
…
For all those seeking cooperation, Xia Duo did not refuse, but also did not talk about specific cooperation like with Lord Collins.
After all, most of these people want to do import trade, and a small number of exports are trade in resources such as precious metal ores and rough gemstones.
It is difficult for Xia Duo to blend in, and he is unwilling to blend in. In fact, he does not agree with these trades. Whether it is the introduction of high-premium products or the loss of resources, it is not a good thing in the long run.
Of course, he also knows very well that Netheril wants to develop and it is inevitable to be cut by advanced people, as long as it can help the development.
The reason why he didn't refuse was only because there was no reason to refuse. After all, one party wanted to buy and the other wanted to sell, so how could he be an outsider interfere.
