Chapter 194: Under the Lake (Subscribe!)

Is a thousand gold coins a lot?

The answer is yes.

One thousand gold coins, no matter which country on the continent, is enough to be regarded as a huge fortune! You know, the income of an ordinary viscount in a year is just based on two thousand gold coins.

The daily income of the Norman family was enough to equal the income of an ordinary viscount for half a year! If he had not experienced it himself, Kalio would definitely think it was a fantasy!

This is not the collapse of the price system, but the change Bruno has brought to Idal Territory and the world! In the "increase income and reduce expenditure" strategy, Idal Territory, which frequently builds wonders, is definitely unable to reduce expenditure.

Therefore, the people of Idar naturally have to spend more time on "open source".

And naturally, squeezing money from the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel to give back to the Lordship of Idar became part of Bruno's development plan.

As it turns out, Idar Territory's "open source" plan is extremely successful, at least... the first step has been successful!

The Basel nobles, who originally had a lot of money but nowhere to spend it, would naturally spend some money when they suddenly discovered a store that seemed to match their status.

Therefore, in just one morning, all thirty bottles of rose essential oil prepared by the Norman family were sold out! For rose essential oil, the Idar people adopted a unique purchase limit policy, with each person buying a maximum of three bottles! After all...

Different from other products of Norman Family, rose essential oil is not only the brand of Norman Family, but also has extremely limited production, which is undoubtedly an excellent gimmick for publicity.

The more they are unable to purchase, the more the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel will rush to buy it!

And the name of the Norman family will be known by more and more nobles!

Of course, in addition to rose essential oil, the coral accessories on the first floor and the spirits on the second floor sold a lot.

It was with the support of these various incomes that the Norman family's daily turnover suddenly broke through the mark of one thousand gold coins! On average, every noble who entered the store spent more than thirty gold coins!

You know... as a store specializing in luxury goods, the profit margin of even the most ordinary goods has exceeded 200%!

Even Kallio, who was fully responsible for the operation of the Norman family, had never expected that the Norman family's ability to make money... was so terrifying !

Finally, I have given His Excellency the Earl a satisfactory answer!

If Bruno knew what Kallio was thinking at this moment, he would probably sneer.

If the profit margin is only 200%, how can it be worthy of the name of luxury goods! How can it be worthy of the serfs and civilians who work diligently in the production of Idar!

How can I be worthy of Bruno's care and dedication!

As the president of the Idar Chamber of Commerce, Calio actually does not know the true cost of these goods, because the real cost information is all in the hands of Bruno, the Count of Idar, and old Ford, who is responsible for the operation of various workshops in the riverside industrial zone. It is a top secret of the Idar Lord!

Since there were no taxes and laws specifically targeting luxury goods in this era, Bruno's setting of commodity prices and the actual profit margins of these commodities had actually already exceeded the limits of what Kallio could have imagined!

The Idar Chamber of Commerce's first attempt to enter the Kingdom of Basel was smooth sailing, but in the Idar Territory, Bruno was busy all day long.

Since returning from the Almis Mountains, Bruno often locked himself in the study of the lord's castle.

Whether it's the wonders added by the Aset Basin, or the Devil's Tower in the center of the basin, or the remains of the Crusaders in the canyon, or the cute griffins and the mysterious magic lake...

These sudden gains and experiences required Bruno to calm down, sort out his thoughts, and sort them out carefully.

If he couldn't figure out a clear thread as soon as possible, Bruno might not even be able to sleep well! Among all the above, what Bruno was most concerned about was not the griffin that could greatly enhance the combat power of Idar County, but the magic lake at the top of the Devil's Tower!

Although the griffin can be cute, fierce, and petted, it is still far less important than the magical lake.

Why did the magic power of the entire eastern empire gather towards the lake on the Devil's Tower? Was it some kind of object, or some kind of power that Bruno had never seen before?

In order to verify his point of view, Bruno once tried to dive into the water while surrounded by the magic shield, but... the magic lake seemed to have no end, extending straight downwards, forcing Bruno to retreat halfway.

It doesn't look like a lake, but more like a huge, deep well! Bruno thought secretly.

but……

As the most powerful wizard in Idar County, Bruno has an extremely sharp intuition about magic.

therefore,

Although the exploration beneath the lake was not completed this time, it cannot be said that there was no gain.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

At least,

This made Bruno certain of an important point, which was... there was no risk in the magic lake at the top of the Devil's Tower.

It will neither explode nor produce pollution. Although the reason for the gathering of magic power is still unknown, the magic power flowing smoothly in the lake is telling Bruno one fact: this is a very safe place!

For mages, magic will not lie! Especially in this world full of magic, whether it is an earthquake or a tsunami, or a disaster caused by human factors, potential dangers often lead to the disorder of magic in the air, and the higher the concentration of magic, the easier it is to detect danger.

However, in that lake, the magic power flowed quietly without any signs of interference from any external force!

This undoubtedly made Bruno breathe a sigh of relief.

Since there is no danger, Bruno can try to transport the magic power from the top of the Devil's Tower to various places in Idar Territory according to his previous idea! This will undoubtedly be a huge project!

This was quite unbearable for the Idar Lordship, who was building the Baths of Caracalla and the Roman Aqueduct at the same time.

but……

It often takes quite a while from planning to implementation. Moreover, whether it is the technology of using magic crystals to transmit magic power over long distances or the practicality of using magic power as energy, the mages of Idar Territory still need to explore it carefully.

And for those mage apprentices who have just developed the magic cannon, this... will be a brand new challenge!
