Arcane Universe

More than a week after the Warrior left the Cape of Good Luck at the southernmost tip of the Southern Continent, Feng Chou received a text message from Grace and the others. Arrived in the holy city of Medis.

Feng Chou confessed the Warrior to Captain Adok, and he teleported to the Holy City of Medith.

When Feng Chou arrived on the Kai-Knight, it was the afternoon of the first day the ship arrived in the holy city of Medis.

The development of the Knight will be separated from fleet here and head south alone.

They will stay in the holy city of Medis for three days to supplement fresh water and food.

Seeing again after half a year, everyone is naturally very happy.

Feng Chou simply took Grace and Natasha off the boat and checked into the famous Whale Hotel in Medis City.

In the single-family villa in the backyard of the Whale Hotel, Feng Chou once again enjoyed the long-lost and harmonious life. With the White Dragon bloodline, Grace and Natasha finally matched Feng Chou evenly again.

The three Dragon Veins are full of energy and high in nature. In addition to the white dragon bloodline’s unique cold and moist touch, they are very different. Feng Chou has worked hard until the 2nd day and did not feel tired in the morning. .

The sky is bright. Although some of the meaning is still unfinished, Feng Chou, who is worried about business, still relinquishes his troops. The three of them took a hot bath and ate breakfast. Then they left the hotel and returned to the development Knight. number.

Back on the ship, Feng Chou found that Joel and Chapman were not on the ship. They were taking a group of apprentices in the port to buy canned vegetables, bacon, biscuits and other foods that were easy to store.

Ordinary fresh water will not last long on the boat. Part of the drinking water on the boat is replaced by rum, and part of it is preserved in the form of divine technique.

“Water-making technique” is a zero-level simple divine technique. A spell can produce 50 liters of pure water. Merchant ships who sail away will buy some magic wands that store water-making technique, a magic wand. It can store 30 water-making techniques, which is 1,500 liters of pure water. Such a magic wand with full spell positions costs about two hundred crowns. This price, in the wild sea, is definitely Excellent value for money.

The apprentices skillfully commanded the dockers and hired sailors, and methodically carried barrels of food and rum onto the ship.

…

Two days later, the supply was completed, and the development of the Knight Yang Fan set sail again.

After nearly half a year of running-in, Natasha, Grace, and apprentice masters as sailors have fully mastered the driving of the pioneer Knight, and the merchant ship’s sailing has no need for Feng Chou at all. worry.

Owen, Joel, Everyday all will strictly follow Feng Chou’s (actually Universe Pagoda spirit) code of conduct, leading the apprentices serving as merchant ship escorts to scrub the deck, clean the cabin, and train to operate the artillery.

Unfortunately, because of the insufficient number of apprentices, even if all the apprentices are in battle, they can only operate one third artillery at the same time.

However, Feng Chou is not in a hurry. As for how to supplement the crew, he already had a general idea when building the two armed merchant ships.

Feng Chou, who couldn’t find his place on the ship, simply hid in his spacious luxurious cabin, and while studying the spell data, he asked Universe Pagoda to secretly collect the alchemical raw materials from the merchant ship Shanghai into Pagoda. Universe, put a part of the intermediate magic equipment of refined products back into the cabin.

In just half a month, the magical raw materials worth hundreds of millions of kroner deep in the cabin have all turned into finished intermediate magical equipment.

When making magic equipment, Feng Chou produced lances, shields, heavy hammers and other Amazons, dragon descendants, favorite weapons, and magic armor based on his understanding of the market in the southern continent during this period. Feng Chou also made some adjustments according to the figure of the dragon descendant or the Amazon woman.

If the magic equipment made from this batch of alchemy materials worth hundreds of millions of dollars is sold directly in Bao Feng City, there will be almost three times the profit, but if this batch of magic equipment can be shipped to the Southern Continent, then Will be more than ten times the profit!

Compared to the northern continent, the alchemical products of the southern continent are more scarce and precious.

In the Southern Continent, the countries that can produce their own alchemy products include the High Spirit Kingdom, the Tieflin Kingdom, and the Goblin Kingdom.

As for the few alchemists in the Amazon Kingdom, they are almost negligible.

The high quality of the alchemical products of the Spirit King country is extremely high, even exceeding the average level of the Owendell Empire, but their production capacity is far from the Owendell Empire mention on equal terms, only There are very few exports that meet their own equipment needs, and even if they do, they can only be provided as luxury goods, not as consumables.

The engineers of the Goblin Kingdom are actually not good at alchemy. Their research focus is not at all on the production of magic equipment. Therefore, although the Goblin Kingdom can produce a small amount of alchemy products on its own, it even needs its own needs. It is far from being satisfied, and a large amount of imports from the northern continent are needed.

The Kingdom of Tifflin is the only country in the southern continent that exports alchemical products, but their output, quality, and even price are not comparable to Owendell’s products.

Whether it is Amazons or Dragonborn, the demand for magic equipment is extremely hungry.

If you don’t wear any equipment, an Amazon female warrior wielding an electric explosive weapon can easily defeat three human warriors of the same level, and a dragonborn warrior can easily defeat a human squad warrior, but If the human warrior is equipped with the corresponding level of magic equipment, then the situation is likely to be reversed.

The Amazon and Dragonborn pirates are often at a loss in the hands of the guards of the human merchant ship armed with magical equipment.

The dragonborns on the central plateau of the Southern Continent are even willing to exchange a bunch of advanced magic materials for an intermediate magic weapon.

As long as Feng Chou can smoothly transport this batch of magical equipment to the southern continent and release it smoothly, he will be able to recover more than ten times the value of the southern continent’s goods. If he can transfer this batch of southern continent If the goods are transported back to Port Tyrone, it will be three or four times the profit!

Of course, ordinary merchant ships are impossible to have such a high profit in the South Continent.

On the one hand, Feng Chou’s tenfold profit also includes Pagoda Universe’s profit from producing cheap alchemical raw materials purchased by Bao Feng City into alchemical products.

If this part of the profit is removed and the intermediate alchemical products are purchased directly from Port Tyron and shipped to the southern continent, there will actually be less than five times the profit.

On the other hand, no ship owner dared to be like Feng Chou. Almost the entire ship is filled with intermediate magic equipment. That cost is too high.

According to the statistics of the navigation department of the Kingdom of Medicis, starting from the Kingdom of Medicis to the southern continent, and finally returning to the merchant ship in Tailun City, the proportion is less than four cities!

Using a merchant ship filled with intermediate magic equipment and worth more than 200 million crowns, you can’t get 40% of the success probability, even the craziest adventurer will not do this.

Feng Chou actually didn’t plan to do that. Transporting goods by ship is actually just a last resort for Feng Chou. He has a more convenient Universe Pagoda, but he can’t see the light.

Since it’s a look, of course it’s a bit like. Feng Chou not at all puts all the alchemy products refined by Universe Pagoda back into the warehouse that developed the Knight. In fact, he only put back tenths of it. One.

When the rough metal ingots are made into weapon armor, their volume will naturally increase significantly, so this one-tenth of the finished alchemy is actually about the same as the warehouse occupied by the previous raw materials.

As for the changes in the ship’s draft and the changes in the cargo in the warehouse, it is naturally not hidden from the crew on board.

So Feng Chou secretly drove the development Knight into the Pagoda Universe, let the Universe Pagoda spirit reprogram the memories for everyone on the ship, and then sailed out.

In this way, no one will remember that this ship was once loaded with alchemical raw materials worth hundreds of millions of kronor.

Generally speaking, a merchant ship that ventures into the South Continent. The goods it transports are mainly exquisite cloth, fine steel produced by alchemy, ordinary steel essence weapons, armor, secondary black steel, secondary black Steel weapon armor, some more practical middle and low-level magic items and magic equipment, etc.

Among these goods, the profit of cloth is only doubled, and the profit of steel essence is only a little more than doubled. The profit of steel essence weapons and armor is not much more than steel essence, secondary black steel and secondary The profit of black steel weapons and armor can be nearly doubled, and the profit of low-level magic items can be tripled.

Merchant ship owners fill their warehouses with cloth, steel and other ordinary goods, and then use almost one third of funds to purchase a batch of sophisticated intermediate magic weapons, they can guarantee that they can get almost the same after a trip to the South Continent. Three times the profit.

Development Knight itself was not fully loaded. After Feng Chou adjusted the cargo, the capacity of the development Knight increased significantly. Of course, Feng Chou would not let the ship run to the southern mainland with half of the warehouse empty.

The reason why we didn’t buy it in the Holy City of Medis is that Feng Chou has a better and cheaper replenishment place.

When the merchant ship successfully arrived in the South Continent, it was loaded with coffee, tea, spices, herbs, magic wood, the skeleton fur of the magic beast, rough black steel, raw ore and crude of various alchemical materials. Refining products, and then using one third funds to purchase a batch of extinct dragonborn bloodline essences and troll bloodline essences from the Northern Continent, you can guarantee that the merchant ship will have more than three times the profit on the return journey.

This one round is almost ten times the profit.

Ten times the profit and 40% of the success rate are enough to make many crazy guys take their lives.

There is another advantage of running the southern continent, that is, the ocean currents and monsoons on this route are particularly beneficial to sailing ships. Many adventurers simply get a cheap Old Antique sailing ship and load a ship. For the cloth and steel essence products, we will go to the South Continent. Once we succeed, we can get rich at once.

Without the use of weapon systems, the Pioneer Knight sailed by magic power alone. Driven by four large magic constants, it could reach a cruising speed of thirty-two knots.

The wizards driving the boat took turns in two shifts. At a speed of 32 knots, day and night, it took only five days to open up the Knight and enter along the southern island chain of the Medis Isthmus. In the south equatorial ocean current from west to east.
