Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Yi Jia took the towel from the waiter and wiped the wine on his face, although he was a little angry at the insult.

But he understood that Adela was reminding him to adapt to the change of status as soon as possible. The army was a place where results and strength were the only criteria. Winning victory with complete preparation was the only respectable way.

Some tricks in the academy are completely different in the army.

"Then let me tell you the truth, I hope you can find skilled blacksmiths, engineers, and doctors for the Hell Sea Dragon."

Blacksmiths, engineers, and doctors are indispensable occupations in the army. If it is other branches of the military, Yiga can still let people work part-time, and they can barely make do with half-skilled skills.

However, these three are specialized talents that require a very long time to cultivate, and are of great significance to the squadron. It is difficult for officers to trust their expectations and hand over their expectations to half-hearted subordinates.

"Your squadron is not equipped?"

Adela was obviously not surprised by the Hell Sea Dragon's number. He was always paying attention to every move of the human boy. His previous identity was also considered to be a representative sent by the palace in Qingyan Port. Entering the military base was almost the same as returning home. When I met the Dragon Prince in charge, I could chat for a few words, knowing that the deployment of the Marine Corps should not be too easy.

But it was precisely because of his understanding of the army's establishment that the old man was a little surprised. With Caledo's current talent pool, it was more than enough to arrange blacksmiths, engineers, and doctors for a hundred-man squadron.

Some professionals who wanted to break away from the workplace and join the army even made trouble with the prince at the court because they missed the recruitment time because they were too late to solve their work schedule.

"No, my men are all demobilized soldiers from the port defense force."

Adela nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that Assanil was preparing to make some big move. After professional military training, a team of 100 people without Asul's participation would be able to maintain its hold on the dragon lord. Absolute loyalty, and fighting ability.

It is not difficult for him to find a few people. After saying a few words, he can naturally find a group of activists from Kalede who want to get closer to the palace.

If Asul was not needed, it would not be difficult to find a few humans to enter.

But this seems to go against Assanil's ideas.

The old man thought for a while and asked a question,

"I can find people for you, but they won't be arranged from the army, and their military pay and treatment will obviously not come from the kingdom's finances."

Yiga took a sip of wine and seemed to have expected this result. He nodded and said,

"I will bear their military salary alone, and their treatment will be arranged according to their status as a decent person in Qingyan Port."

"Your father will not give you a copper."

"The squadron leader's treatment is pretty good, and the gold leaf coins are nothing compared to a few professionals."

Obviously Iga is prepared to use his military salary to provide professional salaries, which Adela appreciates very much.

The old man finally took his first sip of wine and gave his answer when the dishes were served.

"I will arrange the procedures for them to enter the Hell Sea Dragon and provide them with two months' salary. If you can create something famous in the bad land, the attitude of the Navy Headquarters will also change..."

After saying some suggestive words, the old man raised his knife and fork to indicate that he should shut up and eat. He would not allow anyone to interfere with his meal.

Yiga knew the old man's habits very well and began to enjoy the dishes from Adela's hometown in silence. They were quite different from the elf dishes he had eaten before. It seemed that those restaurants opened in mixed areas also wanted to earn gold leaf coins. Market-oriented adjustments have to be made.

After they were full of wine and food, Adela told Yiga to prepare well and if necessary, offer everything including life to the dragon lord.

He is too old to lift a sword to fight, and can only pray to the gods from behind that the frontline soldiers are safe, but there will always be sacrifices. When the great moment comes, he must not show up as a coward in front of fate for a moment. Yiga was thoughtful, and after telling the old man to send him back to his ordinary home, he came to the central area of ​​the city alone, preparing to do a big thing - gold leaf coins with nothing.

The Royal Bank is usually open until evening. It is the capital flow center of the entire Qingyan Port. There is a huge flow of people every day. Businessmen from all over the world hold banknotes with dragon patterns and contribute huge amounts of money to the Royal Bank. Reserve amount.

Although the finances of the Dragon Palace have long been no longer disclosed, with the withdrawal from the War Council, the competition with Lothern was put on the table, and Caledor also took advantage of the situation to launch banknotes linked to gold.

With the kingdom's transparent finances and huge gold reserves, the Vaal Anvil Manufacturing Center feels reliable. It is supported by monopoly industries such as metal smelting, spices, sugar, and New World medicinal plants, allowing the tokens issued by the Phoenix King's Court to The coupon quickly lost out in the competition.

In the final analysis, Lothern's biggest advantages are its geographical location and political factors. Even when it comes to the outstanding ship manufacturing industry, Cosqui can be used as a substitute.

And imprinting the flames that symbolize Asuryan on the vouchers will not save Lothern's current gradual decline in trade. Except for merchants who have special needs for exquisite crafts, more people will still choose practical things.

When merchants no longer trust the real exchangeability of a banknote, they will naturally choose alternatives. This has allowed the financial industry that the Dragon Palace originally intended to suppress to develop rapidly in Qingyan Port.

Common forms such as investment, financing, acquisition, and shareholding are spread to every corner of the chamber of commerce, making people feel intoxicated in the world of gold.

But all this changed slightly after the issuance of the war mobilization order.

Businessmen don't like war, especially one dominated by a powerful force, which means it's hard for them to make a profit from it.

Those manufacturers who originally provided goods to the market, after receiving instructions from the palace, began to concentrate on providing services to the army.

The army doesn't care about the value of the things they get. They will use them directly when necessary. If they are gone, they will apply for a batch from their superiors until the end of the war.

The production side and the demand side are satisfied, but the merchants who originally earned the price difference suffer.

This makes the flow of people in the Royal Bank very sparse at night. The few people who occasionally come in and out seem to be anxious to withdraw funds and prepare to run away.

Yiga, who only had a few silver coins on his body, received distinguished treatment after showing his military certificate. He came to the express window and talked face to face with the young and beautiful girl.

Seeing that he was a human being, even though the girl knew his identity as an officer, she still chose to act according to the rules and skillfully spoke Kislev with a bit of a tongue-in-cheek tone.

"Hello, may I ask what kind of business you are dealing with?"

"I want to apply for a loan."

The girl nodded and raised her hand to ask Iga to show her identity certificate. The Royal Bank, which is directly contacted by the information processing office, will obtain the customer's asset information, including the loan amount that has been evaluated.

As the girl used a method that Yiga did not understand, she manipulated a stone for a while and wrote the digital code on the identity certificate. After a while, the relevant information appeared.

Handing the palm-sized information card to the officer, the girl smiled and said,

"You can apply for a loan with a maximum limit of two hundred gold leaf coins. If there is a family emergency, you can apply for relevant certification documents from the relevant departments of the Royal Navy. After verification, the bank will increase the application limit and reduce the loan interest as appropriate.

Please tell me how much you need to borrow. The interest rates vary slightly depending on the type of loan. "

"Ten thousand gold leaf coins." (End of chapter)
