Chapter 1556: Chapter 470 If It Doesn’t Work, Use Force_2
Only forty thousand? Liu Zhennan smacked his lips. Cross-regional commerce is truly lucrative!
Even if calculated in Aegean Currency, forty thousand for this many goods is not outrageous! Just selling off a small portion of the Teleportation Crystals would recoup the cost. And if specialized Beamon merchandise stores are set up in the major human kingdoms, it’s only a matter of time before the economic flow between the kingdom and the Underground World is thriving!
The Bimon Kingdom has so many treasures!
By region: The Northeast Province has free-ranging Larza Beasts and plump antelopes. The Southeast Province boasts miniature saltwater whales, Snake Berries, and Immortal Fruit. The Southern Province offers premium honey and forest timber, while the Southwest Province is rich in Fire Lake Pearls, giant mugwort, and albatrosses. The royal city offers mare grape and desert date palms, not to mention Kang Lake water tallow!
And let’s not even talk about the myriad specialties from the three great bases of Florence!
Considering the year’s five seasons: During the rainy season in the Primitive Ancient Origin, there’s Sanggan River fishing alongside Avril and the freshwater mermaids, with bountiful harvests summoned by just one Song of Tide. In spring, you have plump wild vegetables and fragrant bamboo shoots. Summer sees the vast migrations of short-legged cows and horses. Autumn brings plump and lofty grass-seed-filled geese and albatrosses— an unparalleled season for indulgence, where a single Smey could nab an entire flock! While winter, with snowy mountain closures, always heralds the harvest season for mountain-descending reindeer!
In the disconnected past plagued by bandits and limited refrigeration, these treasures couldn’t amount to much. But times have changed. With support from Florence, and fast transportation enabled by storage crystals and teleportation crystal arrays, how much human-world merchandise could be traded for these wilderness specialties?
As a divine envoy bearing the fate of an entire people, deep down Liu Zhennan wished for ways to elevate the living standards of the Beamons rather than leading all the men to pick up blades and risk their lives recklessly!
Seeing the Heavenly Throne deep in contemplation, the old Lich Sula was perplexed.
In business, smooth relations are essential. This favored servant of His Majesty Jiabao had been thoroughly flattered by Sula, but even if he couldn’t accept the current price, things would become difficult!
"Let me put it to you this way: I’ll soon be heading to other continents to campaign for Left Bank." Liu Zhennan always enjoyed unsettling others.
"Wh-wh-wh... what? But aren’t you already the new Heavenly King of Coast Contribution?" The old Lich was dumbfounded, unsure why the Heavenly King would bring this up.
"Other than you, no one knows! Your Majesty Jiabao... wouldn’t publicly acknowledge it!" Liu Zhennan gritted his teeth as he said the Queen of Lich’s name.
The old Lich Sula dared not speak.
As the undisputed No. 1 store in the Demon World, the "Bountiful Fields" reputation reflected its deep connections. Sula, well-aware, had no intention of interjecting since such matters were far beyond a merchant’s domain.
Of course, Liu Zhennan also understood this. And he wouldn’t have phrased it this way without that understanding.
"Heading to other continents to campaign for Left Bank—you know exactly what that implies, don’t you? But given today’s rapid communication systems and my appearance during the provincial Heavenly King selection, defeating fifteen challengers, I refuse to believe the other two continents’ Majesties haven’t noticed my presence in Coast Contribution!" Liu Zhennan spoke further, confusing the old Lich even more.
"That’s, that’s it." Sula wiped the sweat from his forehead, nervously agreeing like a fool.
"As long as Jiabao insists I’m not the Left Bank Heavenly King, the other continents’ Majesties might recognize that I’ve already established myself as Left Bank Heavenly King of Coast Contribution—but they’d have no choice but to accept it grudgingly! I could come up with countless excuses for refusal, such as being defeated by another four-winged Knight in the Royal Palace." Liu Zhennan flashed a soundless grin. "Sula, you’re an elder. Surely you know that in this world, no one’s foolish enough to be deceived, especially a Witch King who knows everything. Now, once I’m on other continents, if those two Majesties want me to stop stirring up trouble and quietly leave, there’s only one solution!"
"What solution?" The old Lich foolishly asked.
"Pay me off! I’m not making the trip for free, am I? If they want me to step away from campaigning for Left Bank, that’s the only solution!" Liu Zhennan tilted his mouth slyly. "It’s no problem if they don’t pay an appearance fee—but among the ten four-winged Knights eligible for Left Bank Heavenly King candidacy in the Demon World, I’ve already killed one. Let’s see how many of Hollywood and Bollywood’s four-winged Knights will sink in this bottomless pit!"
"You mean..." Sula hesitated to finish his thought.
"I mean, do you trust me?" Liu Zhennan asked.
"I trust you!" Sula thought to himself, You’re Heavenly King—if I don’t trust you, wouldn’t that make me a traitor?
"Good! And do you trust my strength?"
"I do! Throne, you killed four-winged Knight Wallace in one move—word of it has spread across every tavern in town! Poor Wallace and his brother, killed before the Holy War even began. Hey, that’s proof of slacking on training arcane arts—crumbled when truly tested." The old Lich slyly flattered him again.
"Good! If you trust me, deliver everything I need first. I’ll head to the other continents, and while I can’t guarantee anything, I can say that withdrawing from the Left Bank campaign would cost neither Paul Newman nor Clark Gable’s Majesties less than twenty thousand black coins in hush money apiece. At that point, I’ll repay you and add an extra five thousand as interest for late payment!" Liu Zhennan cheerily patted the dumbfounded elder Lich’s shoulder. "Elder Sula, I’ll soon search for my crew, which is why I urgently need those crystals. Don’t disappoint me!"
"This... this..." The old Lich never thought the Heavenly King would propose deferred payment—such a wild concept!
"Throne, this decision is beyond me, and I must report back to my master first," the old Lich said, seeking divine intervention in sticky situations.
"Understand what’s appropriate to reveal and what’s not—you know the consequences of leaking any details about me. If anything gets out, it won’t only be me coming for you but also Her Majesty the Queen."
"Understood, understood!" Terrified by this threatening remark, the old Lich wiped the sweat from his forehead, twisted his hips, clutched his Bone-Link Treasure Box, and retreated to the inner chamber.
Liu Zhennan had just finished his milk tea when the elder Lich finally returned, face glowing with excitement.
"Throne! My master has agreed to your deferred payment and approved the immediate dispatch of these goods to you!" Sula announced eagerly, "Our ’Bountiful Fields’ treasures also long for your friendship!"
"Absolutely no problem!" Liu Zhennan was ecstatic. It seems shamelessly flaunting his Duke identity had paid off splendidly!
It’s just a pity that old Sula hadn’t heard of rare gemstones like Kagardite; Liu Zhennan had no choice but to settle for fetching the finest crystal high heels and tight leather pieces, leaving inventory counting to attendants.
"What’s our next stop?" Elise finally vented her suffocated frustration. She’d fully expected the need for force, having warmed up and prepared for action, only to see none of it play out, leaving the Aegean Flower greatly disappointed.
"Hollywood continent, naturally!" Liu Zhennan replied coldly. "No matter what, we must rescue that brave Druid Prince! If we can’t save him, I’ll kill him! Better than letting him fall to the Demon Clan."
