This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 293

Chapter 293 Drow Reemployment Plan

High in the sky, a small airship was flying at an incredible high speed.

Although it does not exceed the speed of sound, its speed of four to five hundred kilometers per hour far exceeds that of all airships.

Melina sat on the bow of the airship, opened her hands to feel the strong wind blowing against her face, and when she opened her mouth, the strong wind made a roaring sound.

This child, when he has something fun to do, he temporarily forgets his great ideal of marrying Catherine.

Catherine was sitting on the side of the airship, and she was also very curious and stretched out her hand to feel the terrifying speed.

She has been flying in the sky on a giant eagle all year round, but she has never seen such a fast speed. Maybe her pet could reach this speed when flying by itself, but it would be half as fast when Catherine was riding on it.

Therefore, Catherine was shocked that the airship could fly so fast.

"How can this thing fly so fast?" Catherine asked Amberxiu curiously.

Amberxiu was sitting at the very back of the airship, staring carefully at the several jet engines at the stern.

Catherine heard a lot of what Amberxiu said, which seemed to make sense, but after careful consideration, she felt something was wrong.

Amberxiu glanced at Catherine. This girl has really become smarter and is not so easy to fool.

Upon hearing Melina's inquiry, Amber Xiu explained: "Praise the God of Alchemy, this is another breakthrough in alchemy. This thing can solve many transportation problems. I am going to give up the airship transportation industry." Get up, do you want to invest in this business?"

"When other countries come to pick up the goods, they will deliver the goods directly. Merchants from other kingdoms will solve the remaining transportation problems themselves. There is no domestic demand for this, and it is very troublesome for foreign countries to obtain permission, so they do not engage in this industry. The entire continent , maybe only I can do this industry, this is a monopoly business.”

If it were any other passengers, Amberxiu would definitely not dare to do this. If the spacecraft explodes, they will all die.

"The Alchemy City is originally a kingdom rich in all kinds of affordable materials. Almost every city can grow food and weave cloth, because alchemy can produce high-quality crops to improve the land, and it can also make simple and convenient looms. In the Alchemy City , every city produces and sells itself, and even during the war, there is no shortage of food. Other people's products are produced in the form of small family workshops and alchemy factories, so in most cases there is overcapacity and cannot be sold.

Amber Xiu has packed ten jet engines into the airship this time, and now two of them have broken down.

Amberxiu estimated that by the time they were halfway through the flight, either the engine would be completely broken or the ship would be disintegrated.

As for Catherine, there is no need to worry about her. If the ship explodes, she can summon her pet as soon as possible, and she will definitely not be killed.

“Are you trying to defraud me of my money? Every country has a teleportation array system. What's the point of airship transportation?” Catherine asked.

Catherine immediately became alert when she heard Amber Xiu talking about money. This lich was very good at talking about business, but he was often the only one who made money, and he and his partners had never seen a win-win situation.

But Melina is a death knight of legendary rank, and the body made from the corpses of three legendary orcs is much stronger than this ship.

The airship is actually very easy to make. It is just a few thick steel plates welded into the shape of a spaceship. Just add a few fixed wind wings. The most important thing is the jet engine at the back.

"The teleportation array is only suitable for transporting jewelry that is small in size, low in mass, and expensive. I want to engage in airship transportation, which is specially prepared for these affordable materials. As long as the airship is mass-produced, the transportation cost will be very low, and It is fast, not affected by terrain, and highly safe, making it suitable for transporting large amounts of cargo.”

“As a matter of cost, large teleportation arrays are generally controlled by the state, and freight is very expensive. To transport one hundred tons of cotton using a teleportation array to a distance of one hundred kilometers, the cost is equivalent to five hundred tons of cotton.

"Let's talk about food. Except for war, no one will use teleportation arrays to deliver food. But if you use manpower to transport food, how much will it cost along the way? To transport one kilogram of food to a hundred miles away, it will consume two or three kilograms. Food is the cost. Waterways are better and the consumption will be very low, but how many of the nine kingdoms can have waterways all over the country?

"And if you use a caravan for land transportation, not to mention the rugged roads and various dangers, the cost will far exceed the value of the cotton. So now it is usually woven into cloth nearby, and then the cloth is transported . But even so, the transportation of goods with a low unit price like cloth has always been very expensive. One gold coin can buy half a carriage of cloth in the country of origin, but the price will be at least five times higher in other places.

“If it's so profitable, why didn't Alchemy City do this business before? Don't they have a lot of airships?”

“They are also engaged in transportation, but their airships are prepared for nobles to travel. They are tourist vehicles, safe, but very slow.

Catherine quickly asked: "Monopoly? Why?"

"Because I have connections in every kingdom. The princess of the Raging Tide Kingdom you have met, is she obedient to my words? Don't you have such a relationship with the elves? I also know the dwarf king, Gloom Territory is my biggest customer. Even the Supreme Judgment of Lane begged me to accept him as his younger brother. You think, with such a relationship, it is not easy to open up airship transportation routes across the continent, but I am the only one who can do this. I have a monopoly. It's impossible to lose money in business.”

"Okay, what you said is very good, but I'm sorry, I don't have the money to buy you a share." After Catherine stepped down from the position of Queen of the Elf, she didn't have much money at her disposal. She had no income and relied entirely on financial aid. , let alone investing in shares, now that she has left Silver Moon High Court, eating is a problem for her.

After Amberxiu learned about Catherine's condition, he said in surprise: "No, you're here to take advantage of me again?!"

Last time, this girl was already eating from Amber and drinking from Amber. She hasn't made back the money yet. What's the point of doing it again?

“Father, I have money, I will help sister Catherine pay for it!”

Melina, who just opened her mouth to the strong wind, had enough fun, climbed into the cabin, and immediately took out her small wallet after hearing what the two said.

Amberxiu took it and saw that there were not many gold coins in it, but all kinds of shining gems.

The Underdark is rich in all kinds of mines, and there are a lot of gold and gems. Princess Melina does not have such things as copper coins and silver coins in her wallet.

But Amberxiu said seriously: "Who asked you to spend money indiscriminately? This is your mother's hard-earned hard-earned money. How can you spend it on outsiders at will? I will keep this money for you first to prevent you from spending it randomly."

Melina whispered: "But I don't think mother is tired either."

Apoptotic Rose usually lies in the palace and rarely goes out. There is no need to go to the mines personally.

“You can't see your parents' hard work. Go back and be filial to your mother.”

Amberxiu threw the small wallet into the private space. This child is not very smart. He will only be cheated by others if he takes so much money. It is for her own good to keep it for her.

After making a small profit, Amberxiu turned to look at Catherine and said, "This airship transportation project I want to do is actually for your benefit."

"For my sake?"

Catherine became alert, why did these words sound so familiar?

By the way, the princess of the Raging Tide Kingdom was also deceived by him in this way. This lich may have said the words "for your own good" to hundreds of people.

"Of course it's for your sake. You are going to be the queen of the drow. Have you thought about how to deal with them? Even if their personalities really change, are you going to let them move to Silvermoon Highgarden?"

Catherine said matter-of-factly: "Of course, if they sincerely repent, we are compatriots, and Silvermoon Highgarden will accept all elves."

Amberxiu shook his head and said: "Just because you can accept it, doesn't mean that other elves can accept it. How many years have the high elves and the drow elves been feuding with each other? Just let it go if you say you want to. Not every elf has the same purity as you." A kind soul. In fact, the evaluation of high elves on the mainland can never be separated from words such as hypocrisy, pride and vengeance.

"Even if you can use your charm to force them to accept it, are you willing to embarrass your own people like this? You can't bully the original elves just for the sake of the new drow elves, right?"

Catherine had to admit that what Amberxiu said made sense. She had never thought of this problem before.

Amberxiu continued: "The business of airship transportation is suitable to be handed over to the drow, so that they can escape from their original living environment and save them from crimes such as assassination and robbery. At the same time, this industry needs integrity the most. As long as The fact that the drow can continue in this industry shows that they have changed. In this way, the elves of Silvermoon Highgarden should also be able to accept the return of these kin.

"Many things are beautiful because of distance. A few hundred kilometers apart, I heard that your enemy has changed his ways. Whether you accept it or not, the contradiction will not be too sharp. When most elves accept this situation, then the fusion will be It's much simpler.”

No wonder the gods thought that she could not accomplish this great undertaking alone and had to ask this lich for help. It has only been a while, but he has already thought about it so thoughtfully.

Catherine quickly said: "That's great. Sure enough, there's nothing you want to do that you can't do."

Amberxiu said cheerfully: "Of course, I won't lie to anyone. You represent the elves in this airship project, so vote for it."

But as soon as he finished speaking, the airship's hull suddenly began to shake violently, and with the sound of bolts breaking, the airship began to disintegrate in the air.

Before Catherine and Melina could figure out what was happening, Amberxiu had already thrown the flying skill on them, and then pulled the two of them to escape from the disintegrating cabin.

After the airship disintegrated, a violent explosion occurred soon after, and it could only be turned into fragments all over the sky.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Catherine couldn't help but ask Amber Xiu: "You asked the drow elves to do this, do you want to kill them and reduce the difficulty of the task?"
