Chapter 755 Abnormal Flow of Raw Materials

"So there are so many inside stories here? Father seems to have never mentioned these."

After hearing Avis' explanation, Fiona's pink little mouth opened slightly and her big lake blue eyes blinked twice, looking a little surprised.

"I got most of this information not from my family, but from other sources. You should know that, just like our other brothers and sisters."

Avis shook his head, deliberately not using the word 'family'.

"After we return, you can also try to ask father for help so as to establish your own independent source of intelligence. Many times, others will not take the initiative to tell you some intelligence that may be helpful to you.

Moreover, in many cases, there are some special sources of information in daily life, such as the tasks issued by the association. From these new tasks, we can often learn about some things happening in various parts of the empire from the side. "

After signaling to Fiona, Avis stood up from the sofa and walked slowly to the task wall on one side of the hall.

At this time, not long after the mission update, several members of the Watcher Association had gathered in front of the mission wall made of gray-white marl, and they were all choosing a mission that suited them.

Since the Watcher Association had just officially started, most of the tasks within the association were actually transferred from other large organizations by the Last Dragonborn using his own identity.

The specific process is that after completing the task, the association members submit it and obtain association points as rewards. The last generation of dragon descendants takes the task props submitted by the members and submits them to the forces that issued the task. After receiving the rewards, they add them to the association's warehouse to maintain the operation of the association.

[B-level mission: Suppress bandits]

[Mission Description: Bandits appeared on the west side of the Manley Mountains in Alfred Province. There are about fifty to one hundred of them. The leader is at the high level of the fourth rank and is suspected to be a foreigner. To submit the mission, you need to provide the heads of the leader and four cadres as evidence.]

[Reward: Watcher Points*2000, B-level Mission Badge*1]

[C-level mission: Collecting black mirage beads]

[Task Description: There are pearl shells called mirage shells at the bottom of the Black Sea. Black mirage shell pearls are produced by the third-level 'Silver-striped mirage shell'. The size must be more than one centimeter in diameter, and the required quantity is three.

Note: The bottom of the Black Sea is quite dangerous, so it is recommended that professionals below level 4 take this role with caution. 】

[Reward: Watcher Points*900, C-level Mission Badge*1]

[D-level mission: Purchase a large amount of gray-blue iron, wind copper, star steel, ghost iron and other metal ores and ingots]

[Description: We are looking to purchase all kinds of low- and medium-level metal ores and ingots suitable for magic construction materials in unlimited quantities. Those who are interested can come to the Federation's 'Giant' Chamber of Commerce branch for detailed discussions.]

…

Since the Last Dragonborn collected missions from various forces, the mission locations are all over the world.

Avis paid special attention to the task of purchasing metal materials for magic construction. This kind of task without rewards is usually posted in the task column of major forces by paying an additional advertising fee.

The Federation's Chamber of Commerce suddenly began to actively purchase mid- and low-level construction materials, which was a somewhat abnormal signal.

In fact, the purchasing department of the Black Ring Chamber of Commerce of Anvis also found that the construction materials on the market have suddenly become scarce recently. Even the chambers of commerce that still have goods have significantly increased their shipping prices.

The reason for this was that some chambers of commerce in the Federation suddenly began to buy large quantities of these metal raw materials without any warning, presumably in an attempt to drive up their prices.

This is something that many people find puzzling. Obviously, these low- and medium-level metal materials have huge reserves, and their greatest use is only in the production of low- and medium-level magic constructs. Even if they are monopolized in the short term, once the timeline is extended, the price will definitely collapse again.

Some miners have begun preparing to expand their mining operations in order to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

Avis had specifically predicted this matter when he was free, and easily came to the conclusion that these materials would be used for mass production of magical constructs.

As for the reason for the large-scale acquisition, it was an order from the superiors to speed up the popularization of construction.

Originally, Avis didn't take it seriously, but now it seems that the reserves of structural metal materials of some local chambers of commerce in the Federation are beginning to run out.

This level of material shortage made him smell something unusual.

"You can continue to help here, Fei, but don't go too far. I have some things to do. If you encounter any emergencies that are difficult to handle, you can also call me or my 'companion' urgently."

Currently, since there is nothing to do, Fiona sometimes helps Helena with some small tasks of the Watcher Association.

The companion that Avis was referring to was the power dragon clone that was invisible and on standby in the corner of the hall.

Returning to the two girls, Avis smiled gently, gave them some careful instructions, and then turned back to his room.

He had to deal with Marquis Draka in the floating city first, and then divine again about the shortage of materials.

"…I always feel like Fourth Brother isn't just one year older than me, but is already a full-time adult. It feels like he knows everything."

Fiona wrinkled her nose slightly and looked at Avis' back with some admiration, feeling full of security.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Your brother is so good to you. Sometimes I actually want to have a brother or sister."

Helena looked at the tiny girl with some envy. She was raised by Lauren and spent most of her childhood practicing her singing and getting familiar with various musical instruments. She had no brothers or sisters of the same age to play with.

"Let me tell you, my fourth brother is amazing. He could tell me stories when he was only a few years old..."

When the topic turned to Avis, the girl immediately opened up and began to talk about Avis.

Even though many things involved family matters and were inconvenient to talk about, the few stories about Avis made Helena, who lacked playmates of the same age, sigh in delight.

"…By the way, Helena, if a new emperor takes office, what do you hope she can do?"

As she was talking, Fiona suddenly had an idea.

"Hey? Ask me?"

Helena paused for a moment and tried to think about it.

"Well... probably because I hope the new Majesty can make peace last longer. Now because of the war, it has become difficult for the Windtalkers to tour the empire."

"Peace? I see."

Fiona nodded, feeling that her goal as a lord was clearer. . ….….While the girls were whispering, Avis's main consciousness had returned to the floating city in the deep dream world.

For him, civil war in the empire was at least not a bad thing.

If the civil war between the eldest prince and the fourth princess had not tied up most of the royal family's forces, when the royal family had free hands, someone would have used the secret treasure to find the whereabouts of Marquis Draka long ago.
