Chapter 83 Expensive
This result was of course the result of Duke Gattuso's death and bloody battles with his soldiers, but if the core territory and mines can be preserved, no matter how big the casualties are, it is worth it.
Humans have a far higher fertility speed than the three tribes of dragons, giants and elves. The trauma caused by these wars will be healed within a maximum of twenty years.
Even if the land that has been ravaged by demon ants only takes a few years, either farming or seeds brought by birds and wind, it will make the desolate land and the barren mountains covered with green again.
If there is green on the mountain, vegetarian beasts, subsequent carnivorous beasts and monsters will settle here. Only one area is destroyed partially, and nature's recovery ability is equally powerful.
In early June of 997, Link temporarily ended the beheading battle against the Demon Ant Queen, and on an afternoon with Lucy, he gave Lucy twenty ten-year life crystal dew and three hundred-year life crystal dew on the afternoon of basking in the sun.
This life crystal dew is actually really a good thing. For humans, Link's two wives drank the life crystal dew just to keep their youth - they were just in their early twenties.
However, after drinking a bottle of life crystal dew for ten years, Marquis Susan Raphael, the Marquis de La Crystal, he recovered his youth. Although the Marquis de La Crystal of Susan Raphael, who was over 40 years old, he was still middle-aged. However, after drinking a bottle of life crystal dew, Marquis Susan Raphael returned to the face of a girl about eighteen years old.
Hearing that such a face could last for ten years, the Marquis of Susan Raphael was immediately overjoyed. No woman is not afraid of old age, and some women are not even afraid of death - some radical socialites and noble ladies even kill themselves before their faces grow old.
The century-old Life Crystal Lu Link has 100 copies in his hands, and the ten-year-old Life Crystal Lu is no longer worthy of it, so the life Crystal Lu is sold in the imperial capital at a rate of five bottles per month from the Alice Chamber of Commerce.
Ten years of extra youth and life span are indifferent to a large group of rough men. But for the famous ladies and noble ladies in the imperial capital, this is simply their second youth. The most beautiful time for women is only about twenty years.
It is irresistible for women to be able to buy ten years of youth with money.
Besides, the Life Crystal Dew sold by Alice Chamber of Commerce is not particularly expensive. A bottle of Life Crystal Dew that is a decade old is only sold for 30,000 gold coins.
At this price, most of the nobles who were not in the territory were blocked out of the door. But that's the case, the Alice Chamber of Commerce still received a long order, and they were all paid in advance.
There are still treasures in this world that can restore youth and extend life, such as the fruits of the Golden World Tree. However, it is no less difficult for humans to want the fruits of the Golden World Tree than to start a war with the elves, and they can still fight and win.
Although humans are almost a hundred times as many as those of the elves in terms of number, adult elves are all Sacred Domain-level powerhouses, no exception. Among the thousands of humans, there is not necessarily a Sacred Domain-powerhouse. On the battlefield, Sacred Domain-powerhouses are also called Thousand-Man Enemies. This makes it easy to see the problem.
Not to mention, the high-level power is also strong in the elves and weak in the human race. Even the dragon has never eaten the fruit of the Golden World Tree, so humans can't even think about it.
In August 997, Link went through Alice's statement and increased his shipment. By the end of the year, 500 ten-year life crystal dews were sold out.
Alice's chamber of commerce repeatedly claimed that it was temporarily out of stock and stopped subscribing. The point is that most powerful families who can afford Life Crystal Dew have almost stored more than one Life Crystal Dew in their homes, which has calmed down the buying wave.
In the imperial capital of the Holy Empire, in addition to more than 100 portions of life crystal dew that have been drunk by noble ladies and socialites, and more than 100 portions of life crystal dew that have been taken as the bottom of the box. In fact, more than 200 portions of life crystal dew have been traded and sold in the black market.
Some were even sold to the Shenglong Empire at high prices - the two empires were too far apart, but there was magic in this world. Opening a portal was still very good at transporting small luxury goods such as Life Crystal Dew.
The nobles of this wave of sacred empire were not losing money. The gold coins purchased by the Living Crystal Dew were basically paid by the nobles of the Shenglong Empire, which were sold several times the price on the black market. The Shenglong Empire used practical actions to show that it was also an old empire and was not short of this amount of money.
Link, who lost money in the New Year, really praised the wealth of the imperial capital for different reasons. Her mother-in-law, Marquis of Susan Raphael, spent only a few hundred gold coins in a month, including pocket money and food and accommodation. The main reason is that the service fee for hiring people is extremely high, and there are dozens of chefs to eat each Queen's bread. The manpower to take care of Marquis of Susan Raphael is more than a hundred people.
However, as far as this standard of living is concerned, it should be considered a poor noble in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital - the former Marquis of Raphael was indeed one of the poor nobles.
In the imperial capital, there has been no major war for thousands of years. At most, monsters attacked the border - border nobles were established for such a thing.
Long-term peace brought luxury to the imperial capital, and the imperial capital became a place for nobles and wealthy businessmen to fight for wealth. Originally, two pack horses were enough to pull a cart. But in the imperial capital, you don’t need eight good horses or even sixteen good horses to pull a luxury carriage with gold and diamonds on it. You are embarrassed to say hello to others when you go out.
At the same time, the imperial capital is also the birthplace of various fashion trends. If someone (the people here refer to people in the aristocratic circle) does not keep up with the trend, it will become a laughing stock in the entire circle the next day.
Such things often occur in nobles who have just entered the imperial capital.
There are already millions of gold coins in the vault of the Marquis of Link Raphael's mansion, part of which comes from Link's initial capital injection, and most of the remaining ones come from taxation and repeated selling of materials on the market.
With the financial resources of the Marquis Raphael's mansion today, we actually have the financial resources to enter the imperial capital. However, now is the time when the five major legions of the empire take turns to fight, so the timing is not very good.
Moreover, Link doesn't like to go to camp. Everything today is done by Link with one punch and one kick. Everything the nobles who live in the imperial capital do is to camp.
In a word, if you don’t do anything, who knows you? There are many nobles in the empire, and some of them are left with the title of a noble, and even their territory is gone. If such a nobleman who settles in the country is properly engaged, he may still find his own place among the court officials with good education.
