Chapter 159 Gerald Chamber of Commerce

"What, you dare to reject the kindness of our Gerald family. Don't he know that your uncle Peter Gerald is the guardian magician of the kingdom?" Charles Gerald's father, Charles Gerald, slammed the table after hearing this.

The so-called Gerald family was also the surname Gerald that Peter Gerald only obtained after he became a mage.

As for the predecessor of the Gerald Chamber of Commerce, it was only after Peter became a senior mage that he provided funds to his family's businessman Charles, who had previously been engaged in business, to build a small store into the Gerald Chamber of Commerce, which now has a certain influence in the western part of the Kingdom of Zeland.

Now Charles Gerrard even has money to buy the baron for his son. It’s not that Charles Gerrard doesn’t want to be a noble, but Charles Gerrard, who has been very careful since childhood, feels that he spends 100,000 gold coins to buy the baron, and his son has to pay another 50,000 gold coins when he inherits the title.

Charles Gerrard is nearly 50 years old now and has not had many years to live. His son Charles Gerrard has a lot of youthful age to make this title last longer.

After Charles Gerard's death, his son Charles Gerard could only pay 10,000 gold coins to his father a baron - the title of dead people is always much cheaper.

Charlie Gerald said hatefully: "I have already said that my uncle is a magician, but the other party actually said that it is not your father who is a magician. He is just an uncle."

Charles Gerald said angrily: "Where did he get such courage? That's why my brother is a magician."

Charlie Gerrard: "My father, can his teacher be a magician? I am not afraid that my uncle is a magician?"

The Gerald Chamber of Commerce has always relied on the reputation of Magister Peter Gerald to expand. Of course, before the acquisition and expansion, the Gerald Chamber of Commerce will also inquire about the other party's background. If the other party also has a background as a magister in the backstage, Peter Gerald, a new magister, could not scare the other party at all.

As the new mage of the Kingdom of Zeland, Peter Gerrard is almost the weakest among the domestic mages. It is also because of this that when the chamber of commerce under the names of other mages had already completed the expansion stage, the newly-established Gerrard Chamber of commerce began its ambitious expansion plan regardless of the appearance.

Although the magicians in this world can live to more than 300 years old in theory, many magicians do not have the opportunity to enjoy the death of their lives, but are constantly bombarded to death while conducting dangerous magic array tests again and again.

For example, a level 16 magician can arrange at most eight-level protective magic, but in the face of the test of the level 9 magic array, the strength of the level 8-level protective magic is not enough, and not every level 16 magician can use level 8-level protective magic. This causes a level 9 magic experiment to fail and a magician can be killed.

The reason is that the magicians in this world are too weak. If the magicians in this world also choose to practice both magic and martial arts, and have the holy domain-level fighting spirit protection and the eighth-level protective magic, they can still survive the failure of the level nine-level magic array experiment.

Some mages are lucky enough to not die when they fail to play the level 9 magic array test, and will be seriously injured. They either take the initiative or passively lose the path of progress.

This is also in Link's world, warriors do not have to learn magic, but magicians often choose to practice both magic and martial arts.

Charles Gerald heard this: "Well, I'll ask my elder brother to investigate. The news between the mages is still very well-informed."

Although the Gerald Chamber of Commerce was established by Charles Gerald, it was invested by the Magister Peter Gerald, who occupied 60% of the shares in the Gerald Chamber of Commerce. Although the magister is usually very busy and does not participate in the management of the Chamber of Commerce, when there is something big, Charles Gerald still wants to consult with the elder brother.

Charles Gerrard took a carriage to the teleportation hall in the city center. Magic coordinates have been written between the teleportation halls in various cities in China and the teleportation halls in the ports of the New World Zeland State, and the teleportation magic array has been arranged.

In this way, as long as a mage above level ten opens a portal, it can be easier to send people to a fixed coordinate location.

After paying the teleportation fee of 200 gold coins, Charles Gerald walked into the portal opened by the advanced mage with his personal servant.

There are many ways to get to Jill City from Zeland City, but the portal is undoubtedly the fastest one. With the current scale of the Gerald Chamber of Commerce, when there are important things, I don’t care about the transfer cost of hundreds of gold coins back and forth.

When they arrived in Zeland City, Charles Gerard immediately walked into the taxi carriage outside the teleportation hall of Zeland City. Only the teleportation halls are available in various parts of the city, so there is basically no need to check.

Those who can afford to transport are rich people. The coachman who waits outside the teleportation hall is also a highly competitive position. People who come here to ride a carriage often give a tip of one or two silver coins. Usually, people can earn a few dollars by running on the street for a day.

After Charles Gerard got off the car, the personal servant gave the coachman two silver coins and said, "Don't look for it."

For the coachman, this journey is not long, and the daily fare is only one hundred or dozens of copper coins. Taking two silver coins is a big profit, but it will take a long time to go back before it will be my turn to take the passenger next time.

And the coachman who wants to go to the teleportation hall to wait for customers must pay ten silver coins every month to do business here.

This share money was not handed over to the teleportation hall, but was collected by the underground forces of the City of Zeland. The coachman who paid the share money was still very happy. After all, the underground forces would drive away the coachman who had not paid the share money to attract customers here.

If most coachmen in the city of Zeland were here to pick up customers, they would be afraid that they would not be able to grab one customer in a day. Moreover, not all customers would be so generous.

Charles Gerrard arrived at his elder brother's house and then started waiting in the living room. Peter Gerrard was similar to all the new magicians, and he devoted most of his time to the research of new magic every day. However, Peter Gerrard, who is still at level 15, is still studying level 8 magic.

Level 8 magic is only at the level of false forbidden spells, and it is relatively safer.

Charles waited from afternoon to dusk, and finally had supper with his elder brother Peter.

After-dinner time is used to chat and talk about business. Peter, who had just left the magic lab, looked very tired when he was eating. After a meal, he was already full of energy. In addition to the monster meat, Peter Gerald also drank a bowl of herbal medicine to nourish the body. The magician was weak, and Peter Gerald had no good idea. He could only supplement the food according to the magician's traditional medicine.

After drinking tea, Charles Gerald said: "Brother, we are planning to acquire a seafood company called Link Port recently. This seafood company is developing rapidly in the area around Jill City. In addition to various seafood, it also sells fish oil at a high price. After taking this Link Port, our annual profit will increase by more than 100,000 gold coins. However..."

Peter Gerald asked, "But what?"

Charles: "Brother, this Link from Link Port is a senior mage. I heard that he can use two level 6 magic, at least twelve. He had previously rejected the proposal of our Gerald Chamber of Commerce to invest. This guy is ungrateful, and I'm afraid he has a backer behind him."

Peter Gerald: "I will investigate whether there is any disciple in the domestic magician. Even if his teacher is a foreign magician, he is not afraid. Magicians are divided into territory, and foreign magicians send disciples to him can be considered to have crossed the boundaries. As long as he does not hurt his life, it is nothing.

However, what's going on with you? I remember that the underground forces in Jill City had a level 14 mage. Isn't it enough to spend some money to find someone to deal with him? Could it be that I would have to take action personally? After all, I am also the guardian magistrate of the Kingdom of Zeland and the honorary Count. If I personally attack a chamber of commerce in China, it would be nice to spread it."

Charles quickly explained: "Brother, I'm about to talk about the old society. Now Harris, the boss of the underground forces in Jill City, has long been missing, and Harris's subordinates are now in a mess. I wonder, should I rectify the underground forces in Jill City?"

Peter Gerald raised his hand: "I think about this matter. I don't have time to stay in places like Jill for a long time to engage in underground forces."

Charles hurriedly said, "Brother, don't worry, you just need to come forward and shock you, show your face once or twice a year. The rest is to let those people do it, but the person who paid the money has changed from Harris to the Gerald Chamber of Commerce. And I think Harris probably won't be able to come back."

Peter Gerald asked, "Oh, why do you tell me?"

Charles: "Brother, according to our news, after Harris disappeared, his subordinates quickly seized Harris' house, and tortured his family in various ways to inquire about Harris' wealth during his lifetime. Finally, they threw Harris's wife and daughter into the casino to make chickens. They should have received news that Harris had died for some reason, so they dared to do this. After all, it is easy for a level 14 mage to teleport back to solve their problems when they go far away."

Peter Gerald nodded after hearing this: "What you said makes sense, but only the underground forces in these places can make much money. Which magician can value this."

Charles: "Brother, these people are all local tyrants. Even if they are not very profitable, they still have a good idea in terms of information inquiries."

Peter Gerald: "That's right, I'll go there when I take time. I'll solve it together. You can go back first."

"Yes, big brother." Seeing that the big brother saw him off, Charles immediately said goodbye and left. The night was the time for the magician to practice meditation, and it required an absolutely quiet and undisturbed environment.

Peter Gerard began the next day and wrote letters to domestic mages one by one, asking them if they had a disciple named Link who was now selling seafood in Jill City.

The magicians use magic letter paper. The letters are burned from here with magic flames and will be immediately sent to the magician on the other side.

Peter Gerald received a reply within the next day or two, and the three-game quality of Yishui on the reply was: It’s not me (disciple), I don’t know him, I haven’t heard of him.

Peter Gerald also felt relieved. It would be easy to say that he was not a disciple of the magician in his country. During the magician's long life, the relationship between some personal disciples and teachers was even better than the blood relationship of father and son.

The father is a magician, and at most he can make his son rich to learn magic, but he must be one or two personal disciples who can inherit his own achievements. Even if the magician dies, the personal disciples often have a more priority in inheritance than the children and grandchildren who are directly related to the magician.

Of course, unless you die accidentally, most magicians will arrange all funerals before their death.

However, Peter Gerald has just been promoted to a magician for not many years and has not yet passed on his own disciples, because Peter Gerald has spent a long time studying the mysteries of magic for a long time and has been single for a long time (when needed, I went to the tavern to find a maid to buy some information). It was not until he became a magician that he married the noble lady and had children. Now his children are only five years old and three years old. They are still daughters. They will get married sooner or later.

As for Peter Gerald, his relationship with his brother Charles is still very good. After all, Peter was born in an ordinary family when he was a child. Before entering the Magic Academy, Peter took his younger brother and sister out to play crazy all day long, and he played for a whole day.

When he arrived at his nephew Charlie, although his blood relationship was still in the same way, he was already much more alienated in his relationship. After all, Peter Gerald was the child that his younger brother Charles got married and had after becoming a high-level mage. At this time, Peter Gerald was already very busy. Until now, the time for Peter Gerald to meet with his nieces and nieces in total would not exceed three hours. If it weren't for the magicians, they all had high intelligence and could almost never forget them. Peter Gerald would have long remembered that he had a few nieces and nephews who were.

After finding out that Link was a foreign wild mage and did not have a backing for his own mage as his backing, Peter Gerald felt that he would take a day to take down the underground forces of Jill City and the seafood company of Jill City.

Peter Gerald is planning to leave the shares of the Gerald Chamber of Commerce for his children. Of course, after he is gone in the future, the Gerald Chamber of Commerce may not be able to save one day, but before that, the expansion is still necessary. Since the seafood company can make a profit of 100,000 gold coins per year, it will be very beneficial to the expansion of the Gerald Chamber of Commerce after taking it down.
