After preparing for transmigration, Xia Yuan, a top player of storyline mages in his previous life, transmigrated into an NPC, and was even the fourth son of the newly born Duke of the Empire!
<...Chapter 413 War Profits
Individual players are quite happy about the recent lively situation in the Itel Federation.
Due to the more "free" atmosphere of the Federation, the number of players who choose to be born in the Itel Kingdom Federation at the beginning is the largest among the three major forces.
Although many peace-loving and lifestyle-oriented players have left, more and more foreign players have poured in to compete for the various lucrative "hidden missions" that have emerged due to the war.
In the eyes of most players, the chaotic situation in the Federation is a sign that a major main storyline is about to begin.
Although the situation is dangerous, it makes them more enthusiastic to get in touch, and they are happy to try to see if they can trigger some hidden tasks.
As for the Aboriginal people, it is not that no one can see that the trade in skeleton labor is the main factor leading to the current tension in the Federation.
No matter what era, there will always be some smart people who can see the key contradictions hidden behind the surface.
But understanding it is one thing, and being able to prevent it is another.
Whether hiring ordinary people or purchasing slaves, the cost-effectiveness is not as good as skeleton labor.
The latter have no physiological needs, can work 24 hours a day, perform set tasks with almost no mistakes, and have a high tolerance for the working environment, ignoring noise and relatively minor magical radiation pollution.
Even after it is scrapped, the bone powder can be recycled and sold as the cheapest necromancy material.
The former two may be cheaper than the latter, but in the long run, it is still the most profitable to hire the latter.
If the top leaders do not forcibly stop all trade in skeleton labor, or find a way to find large-scale cheap labor as a substitute, then no one can stop the arrival of war.
But no matter which method is used, it is almost impossible to accomplish, especially when high-level professionals do not care about this phenomenon. Relying only on some low-level personnel, it is impossible to compete with the nobles and big businessmen who hold power.
Indeed, the act of relying on war to obtain labor seems to be extremely evil.
But the Federation has its own national conditions.
The many small kingdoms were not united in purpose and had long been eager to destroy their neighbors to gain more resources. However, due to the Patikaran Alliance, they did not dare to fight too hard.
However, the "small-scale friction" between a group of low-level professionals and civilians did not fall into the excessive range.
Moreover, the large amount of cheap labor brought by skeleton laborers can play a huge role in promoting the rapid development of the construction industry.
For each kingdom in the Federation, the development of constructs is a critical strategic goal.
In the face of development, everything must give way. . ….… At this time, Anvis was already in the most famous landmark building in the Kingdom of Leica, the Emerald Palace.
It was a magnificent palace made of a complete huge piece of emerald bedrock and created by the famous architect Rotonda himself.
The intricately carved colonnade terrace, the magnificent and splendid hall, and on the pale white translucent amphibole base of the palace, clusters of emerald green hexagonal crystal columns can be seen everywhere, shining with charming brilliance.
A large amount of emerald crystals formed a special magic field. Professionals who practiced meditation in the palace could achieve twice the result with half the effort, and even slightly increased the probability of breakthrough.
Holding a saucer of black tea, Anvis sat in the waiting room, casually admiring the surrounding environment with an indifferent look, as if he was already accustomed to the luxurious furnishings in the room.
The purpose of his trip was to meet the once legendary Prince Leica VI, now Leica VI Rockleica.
As an agent of the Chamber of Commerce who invested tens of millions of gold coins in the Kingdom of Leica at one time, Anvis got the opportunity to meet His Majesty the King as an exception.
Logically speaking, as the head of a branch of the Chamber of Commerce, it was not enough for the king to personally receive him. However, there were obviously some old and powerful forces behind the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce, which made people have to be cautious.
This was also a step in his plan. Whether as a 'Chamber of Commerce representative' or a prophet, he should meet this prince whose life experience was like the protagonist of a heroic biography.
While Avis was thinking, the waiter beside him was surprised to see how calm he was.
Having worked in the palace for a long time, I have often seen foreign guests with surprised expressions on their faces, and very few of them are as calm as Anvis.
Those who can do this are all great figures who have seen more magnificent and spectacular buildings.
As the thought crossed his mind, the waiter's demeanor became even more respectful.
After a while, a guard came in and signaled Avis that he could meet His Majesty.
Slightly different from what he had thought before, His Majesty Leka VI did not choose to meet him in the main hall, but in the imperial study.
When the guards led Anvis into the room, the newly appointed king seemed to be reviewing a document. The rumored young prophet was not by his side and no one knew where she was.
The magic feather pen that was writing stopped and flew back into the velvet box on the side. A blond young man in an emerald green robe and a platinum crown on his head raised his head from behind the desk and stared at Avis who entered with his emerald eyes.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Your Majesty, King Leica VI, I am Raphael, the head of the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce Federation. It is an honor to meet you."
Looking back at the blond young man in front of him who had dark circles under his eyes but bright eyes, Avis placed his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and gave his new name.
This was the name he changed a few days ago, and it sounded like an angel.
"...Black Ring Chamber of Commerce, I have heard of this name. It is a 'mysterious' chamber of commerce from the Gloria Empire. It previously bought the mountainous land of Lavelle to build an assembly factory."
After a brief silence, Leica VI rubbed his temple and spoke slowly.
"I have a question that I hope to get an answer from Lord Raphael. Lord, you have come all the way from the Empire. What do you think of the Federation and the Kingdom of Leica?"
"According to some of our intelligence, the Federation is about to fall into war. With His Majesty here, the Kingdom of Leica can be assured of a short-term peace of mind, but as the friction escalates, it is very likely that it will be forced to get involved as well."
Avis shook his head, a compassionate expression on his face, as if he couldn't bear the people who were about to be caught up in the war.
"In order to help those helpless people, we hope to provide those in need with better weapons and equipment to reduce the unnecessary sacrifices of soldiers so that they can better protect their homes."
Hearing Avis's matter-of-fact words, Leica VI was stunned for a moment.
Making money from war sounds so righteous?
Although he felt strange, Leica VI felt relieved a little.
He had always been wary of the mysterious Black Ring Chamber of Commerce. If the other party's goal was indeed just for money, then he didn't need to care too much.
It would be nice if she were still around, at least I could have some reference to the results of the prophecy. But I don’t know where she has gone recently.
