Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

"Herbert, tell me."

When Sarah spoke, even though Rhodes looked anxious and annoyed, he still didn't dare to say anything.

Herbert's dangling heart was also slightly put down, and he glanced at Rhodes unhappily, and hurriedly said:

"After the slaughterhouse receives the goods, it can actually identify the buyer. Each of the five slaughterhouses has been operating for decades, and they have their own partners."

"I have cooperated with Saka Slaughterhouse. Generally, they will sell their spice goods to me. The nobles of Demacia like this kind of goods. On the contrary, magic materials are generally sold to Noxus merchants. ' Rhodes continued.

"That's not the case." Rhode refused to accept after Herbert finished speaking. "Every few days, the slaughterhouse will open an auction house, and there are many merchants coming."

Herbert glanced at him as if he knew Rhodes would say something like this:

"It was an auction of special items. In addition to the usual cases I just said, there are two unusual cases. One is the discovery of instant goods, such as the sack of Cecilia fish, which can increase the magic power of the mage. , but this pouch must be eaten within 30 minutes of taking it out, otherwise it will not only have no effect, but will also have the opposite effect.”

"For this kind of goods, the slaughterhouse usually saves it first. After we contact the buyer, a professional slaughterer will follow us to the buyer's location, and finally complete the transaction."

After saying this, Herbert answered Rhodes' question:

"The other is the auction you mentioned. There are two types of auctions, daily auctions and high-value auctions. Daily auctions are uncommon but rarely received by our cooperative merchants. These are basically sold by those Small merchants and hawkers buy it."

"High-value auctions are generally held jointly by the five slaughterhouses. The auctions are all treasured goods that have been acquired recently. Each piece is worth tens of thousands of gold coins. It is usually held every six months or a year." Pulled, "If adults want, this auction can be held in Bilgewater Bay in the future."

In the past, the five slaughterhouses were still much smaller. Although most of the high-value auctions had also been heard of by the merchants, except for the merchants who had been in Bilgewater, people from other places were reluctant to come.

But if it is held by the pirate queen Sarah, the specifications of the auction can definitely be mentioned above, and more people will come.

After all, the face of a pirate queen is not the same as that of a slaughterhouse.

In the past, Herbert could only use his identity as a Demacian businessman to bluff people, telling everyone that he had something to do with those nobles. But that argument is always dangerous in Bilgewater.

But if he can rely on the big ship of the Pirate Empress, he will have no worries for the rest of his life.

As for Rhodes, heh, he's just a brat with no hair.

Sarah played with her pistol, seemingly lost in thought.

When Herbert and Rhode became increasingly nervous, she exhaled and spoke slowly:

"The slaughtering dock can't be messed up. I'll give you time to prove your worth."

The guns in her hands were raised at the same time, and one pointed at a person:

"10 days, the one who does a good job, the other..."

Sarah smiled cruelly and did not speak, but what she expressed had been accurately conveyed to the two of Herbert.

Facing the dark muzzle, Rhode and Herbert glanced at each other with hatred, and vowed in unison:

"My Lady Empress, I will prove it to you."

"Very good." Sarah put down the gun with satisfaction. "One is in charge of slaughtering and the other is in charge of logistics. Don't let me see you stumbling on each other. Whoever dares to play **** will die. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

After explaining the matter, Sarah asked her subordinates to continue to supervise the slaughtering dock, and she hurried back to the boat.

At Slaughter Dock, she is the mighty pirate queen.

But in front of the empire, she was nothing more than a laborer who obeyed orders.

After connecting with the space battleship, looking at Seraphine's face that seemed to be in a good mood, Sarah's previous good mood disappeared.

"My lord, I have taken the slaughtering dock." Sarah said expressionlessly.

"Congratulations, Ms. Sarah. The territory you occupied has expanded a lot." Seraphine said with a smile, "By the way, a good news, for some special reason, Nagakaporos was very angry and asked Those who believe in it have conveyed their will to eliminate the black fog at any cost."

"Eliminate the black fog, that's not something they can do." Sarah sneered.

For a **** special reason, she would bet that most of this was the plan of the person in front of her.

The pink-haired girl in front of her looked harmless, but if she could become that person's student, she couldn't be a kind and simple person.

After getting along these days, everything confirms this.

Seraphine, a standard Noxian.

As for Sarah's opinion, Seraphine seems to have a different opinion: "Nagacapoulos is not weak, and her priests also have the ability to destroy resentful spirits and black mist."

"My lord, I think Naga Kapolos will be Foyego's opponent." Sarah said bluntly.

She had never seen Nagakaporos make a move, but if the opponent was really strong, she wouldn't have refused to come forward when the Baru were invaded by Noxus.

It's Foyego, she has really seen the other party take action. Even if the aerospace battleship is on board with 15 giant steel ships, it can only delay him, and they can't hurt him even if they are bombarded.

With such a monster-like existence, she couldn't think of any way to destroy it.

Without Noxus at the front, she might choose to evacuate Bilgewater with her men, waiting for the Black Mist to come back.

However, Seraphine denied her idea: "Then guess, who was better in the previous battle?"

"Sure enough..."

Sarah's face froze. When Seraphine said this, she knew that they should have fought.

"Compared to!"

She finally gave a pertinent answer without any bias.

The fact is right in front of her eyes, and Nagakaporos has enough strength to counterattack, which shows that the two are on the same level.

"Ms. Sarah's guess was accurate, but Foyego had no intention of fighting Nagakaporos in order to protect his queen, and eventually retreated." Seraphine added.

Although it was just a statement of fact, Sarah had heard some intelligence from it.

Foyego takes his queen very seriously, and he may be slightly stronger than Nagakaporos.

This is the information she got from Seraphine's words, and the probability of the truth is extremely high.

After all, Seraphine wanted her to work, not to kill her.

"Sir, is there anything I need to do?" Sarah asked bluntly.

She didn't think Seraphine was talking to her for nothing, there must be something she needed to do.

Seraphine still had a bright smile on her face, she nodded naturally:

"It is, but it will wait for you to return from the slaughtering dock."

"My lord, this time we attacked the slaughtering pier. Many diehards died here, and even the ship lost a lot."

Sarah Mian did not change her expression.

Now is a good opportunity for her, just to ask the empire for some benefits.

"In terms of personnel, I believe you are not lacking. As for ships... The Empire can customize sea hunting ships for you, but the price will not be low." Seraphine's tone was sincere.

Sarah looked embarrassed: "Rebuilding the slaughtering pier requires a lot of money, and the collection of protection fees has not yet begun. I hope that the adults can accommodate and let us buy a batch of ships first by borrowing."

"How do you want to borrow?" Seraphine asked with a smile.

"After slaughtering the wharf, 50% of the net profit will go to the empire, which will be used to slowly repay the money for building new ships." Sarah asked tentatively.

No matter how she chooses, most of the benefits of the Slaughter Pier will go to the Empire, so it's better to exchange it for something real.

Only when they have a ship can they have greater profits, conquer more islands, and grow themselves faster.

"70%!"

Seraphine didn't seem to see through Sarah's thoughts, but directly reported a higher number:

"The empire will build the ship in a very short time. If the slaughtering dock needs to be expanded in the future, the empire is also willing to help."

"70%..." Sarah pretended to be difficult, "We need to station a battle fleet at the slaughtering dock. When the business grows, it is inevitable that there will be guys who don't have long eyes."

It was clear that she wanted more.

"The Empire will build battleship formations for you, and it won't even be worse than Piltover, but..." Seraphine changed the conversation and said softly, "Piltover provides at least ten million gold coins for the Empire every year, Bilgewater is still a long way off."

Millions of coins...

Hearing this number, even Sarah was inevitably shocked.

Even adding a bonus to all the pirate bounties in Bilgewater would not necessarily be half as high.

What's more, this is only the income that Piltover has created for Noxus in a year, and it is not counted as his own.

Sarah suddenly felt the urge to rob Piltover, but thinking about what Seraphine said, she still managed to hold back.

The other party said that they would help them build a fleet like Piltover, which is obvious, and they don't have it yet.

"Sir, with the support of the empire, we are confident to rely on this sea to provide the empire with a steady stream of treasures." Sarah said seriously.

There are not only sea monsters in the sea, but also countless rare treasures.

As long as the development is good, reaching the level of Piltover is not a dream.

Everyone is backed by the empire, and she doesn't think she will be worse than the rising star of Picheng, Jace Tallis.

"hope so."

Seraphine hung up after speaking.

The space battleship is sailing at sea at this time, and the target is an unknown and marked dangerous sea area.

She turned her head to Grid and said in a relaxed tone:

"Teacher, it won't be long before the empire's influence spreads across Bilgewater."

Sarah's little thought couldn't hide it from her eyes.

But with her current position, she doesn't care about Sarah's thoughts at all.

In the face of the Empire, all struggles are but in vain.

Weapons made by the Empire will never point the muzzle at the Empire.

Just like the current Demacia, after a few months of dressing, except for a few elite troops, the rest are all equipped with Hex weapons.

Led by "Jia Wen", the rebel army composed of the former members of the Light Shield Barrier is now equipped with all the weapons and armor of the Empire.

These weapons are all controlled by Blitz and Viktor, and the threat to the Empire from Demacia is almost zero. Whether it is military, economic, people's livelihood or politics.

And once the Empire's warships are commonplace in Bilgewater, it's only a matter of time before this becomes the next Demacia.

Destroying the shipbuilding industry here is equivalent to holding the lifeblood here.

Seraphine knew in her heart that Sarah was not unaware of this, but that she had no way of rejecting the temptation brought by the steel battleship.

At the same time, Sarah greatly underestimated the complexity of shipbuilding.

"Good job." Grid nodded slightly, "I will propose to the commander at the council that you should be the first Bilgewater envoy."

"what..."

Hearing this, Seraphine's originally high-spirited face collapsed:

"Teacher, is this position for Ziben? I still need to learn magic!"

The world is so big, and there are still many places she wants to see.

The corners of Grid's mouth were upturned, and he said bluntly:

"Apart from you, no one else in the empire currently has this qualification."

"How come, the empire is full of talents, and...and..."

Seraphine hesitated for a long time, recalling countless names in her mind, and finally had to give up.

It's not that there are no more suitable candidates than her. Sister Katerina and Sister Orianna are very suitable, and they are more capable than her.

But these people, whose positions are far above the envoys, will not come here at all.

Seraphine thought about it carefully, and it seemed that apart from her, the rest of the empire were all matched with virtue and ability, and all officials with high abilities were very large.

It seems that she has done a lot of things and traveled a lot, and now she has the name of an academy tutor.

"teacher..."

She suddenly reacted, and said with anger:

"Can I have Ziben manage it for me?"

"Your Majesty is also a form of strength."

Grid did not respond directly, but Seraphine already understood what the teacher meant.

As long as there is no trouble here, no one cares who is in power.

"I understand, I will do it well!" Seraphine assured.

Grid nodded, smiled and said:

"You've done a good job so far. If you can completely solve the problems of Shadow Island and Bilgewater, I will prepare a gift for you."

"Then I still need the help of the teacher." Seraphine didn't believe the cake drawn by the other party, she thought about it and added, "At least, teacher, you have to provide me with sufficient information."

"As it should be."

Without thinking, Grid responded directly:

"If you need anything, you can just ask me, and I will answer you if I know."

Seraphine looked slightly stunned, and looked at her teacher unexpectedly. Usually, my teacher is not so good...

But since her teacher mentioned it, she was really going to take this opportunity to ask a big one:

"Teacher, is there any way to make a non-demigod kill a demigod?"
