Chapter 293 Drow Reemployment Plan

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

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

Melina sat at the bow of the airship, opened her arms to feel the strong wind blowing in her face, and when she opened her mouth, the strong wind made a rustling sound.

This child, when there is something fun, he temporarily forgets his great ideal of marrying Catherine.

Catherine, who was sitting on the side of the airship, curiously stretched out her hand to feel the terrifying speed.

She had been riding a giant eagle in the sky for many years, but she had never seen such a fast speed. Maybe her pet could reach this speed when it flew by itself, but when Catherine rode on it, it would be reduced by half.

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

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

Amber was sitting at the very back of the airship, staring closely at the jet engines at the stern.

Airships are actually very easy to make. You just need to weld a few thick steel plates into the shape of a spaceship and add a few fixed wings. The most important thing is the jet engine at the back.

This time, Amberxiu stuffed a total of ten jet engines into the airship, and two of them are now broken.

Amber estimated that by the time the flight was halfway through, either all engines would fail or the ship would disintegrate.

If it were any other passenger, Amber would definitely not dare to do this, because everyone would die if the spaceship exploded.

But Melina is a legendary Death Knight, and her body is molded from the corpses of three orc legends. It is much stronger than this boat.

As for Catherine, there is no need to worry about her. If the ship explodes, she will be able to summon her pet the first time, so she will definitely not die from the fall.

Hearing Melina's question, Amber explained: "Praise the God of Alchemy, this is another breakthrough in alchemy. This thing can solve many transportation problems. I plan to start the airship transportation industry. Do you want to invest? It's definitely a lucrative business!"

As soon as Catherine heard Amberxiu talking about money, she immediately became alert. This lich was very good at negotiating business, but he was often the only one who made money. She had never seen a win-win situation between him and his partners.

"You are trying to cheat me out of my money. Every country has a teleportation system. What's the point of this airship transportation?" Catherine asked.

"It's a cost issue. Large teleportation arrays are generally controlled by the state, and the shipping costs are very expensive. Using a teleportation array to transport 100 tons of cotton to a distance of 100 kilometers costs the same as 500 tons of cotton.

"If you find a caravan to transport the cotton by land, the cost will far exceed the value of the cotton, not to mention the rugged and dangerous roads. So now it is usually woven into cloth nearby and then transported. But even so, the transportation of cloth, a commodity with a low unit price, has always been very expensive. In the place of origin, one gold coin can buy half a carriage of cloth, but in other places, the price will be at least five times higher.

"Speaking of food, no one would use the teleportation array to deliver food except in wars. But if we use manpower to deliver food, how much will it cost along the way? To deliver one kilogram of food a hundred miles away, two or three kilograms of food will be consumed as the cost. Water transportation is better, and the consumption will be very low, but how many of these nine kingdoms have waterways that can cover the entire country?

"The teleportation array is only suitable for transporting small, low-quality and expensive jewelry. I want to develop airship transportation, which is specially prepared for these cheap materials. Once the airship is mass-produced, the transportation cost will be very low, and it is fast, not affected by the terrain, and highly safe, which is suitable for transporting large quantities of goods."

Catherine listened to Amber Xiu's long talk, which seemed to make sense, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that something was wrong.

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

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

“They are also engaged in transportation, but their airships are prepared for the nobles to travel. They are a means of transportation for tourism. They are safe, but very slow.

"Alchemy City was originally a kingdom with abundant cheap materials. Almost every city could grow grain and weave cloth, because alchemy could produce high-quality crops to improve the land, and could also make simple and convenient looms. In Alchemy City, every city produced and sold its own goods, and there was no shortage of food even during wars. Other daily necessities were produced in the form of small family workshops and alchemy factories, so in most cases there was overcapacity and they could not be sold.

"When other countries come to get the goods, they just deliver the goods directly. The rest of the transportation problem will be solved by the merchants in other kingdoms themselves. There is no such demand in China, and it is very troublesome to get permission from abroad, so they don't do this business. In the whole continent, perhaps I am the only one who can do this business. This is a monopoly business."

Catherine quickly asked, "Monopoly? Why?"

"Because I have connections in every kingdom. You have met the princess of the Kingdom of Wrath of Tide. She obeys my orders. I have connections with the elves, and I also know the dwarf king. The Underdark is my biggest client. Even Ryan's Supreme Judgment begged me to accept him as my younger brother. With such connections, it would be easy to open up airship transportation routes across the continent, but only I can do this. It is impossible to lose money in a monopoly business."

"Okay, that's a good point, but I'm sorry, I don't have the money to give you a stake."

After Catherine stepped down from the position of Elf Queen, she had very little money at her disposal. She had no income and was completely dependent on help. Not to mention investing in shares, now that she had left Silvermoon High Court, even eating was a problem for her.

After An Boxiu knew about Catherine's situation, he said in surprise: "No way, you come to eat my meal again?!"

Last time, this girl had already eaten and drank at Amber's expense. She hadn't earned back the money yet, and she's doing it again? "Father, I have money. I'll pay for Sister Catherine!"

Melina, who had just been yelling at the strong wind, had had enough fun and climbed into the cabin. Upon hearing what the two were saying, she immediately took out her small wallet.

Amber took it and looked at it. There were not many gold coins in it, but all kinds of shiny gems.

The Underdark is rich in various minerals, including gold and gems. However, Princess Melina does not have copper or silver coins in her wallet.

But An Boxiu said seriously: "Who told you to spend money recklessly? This is your mother's hard-earned money. How can you spend it on outsiders at will? I will keep this money for you to prevent you from spending it recklessly."

Melina whispered, "But I don't think Mother is tired either."

The Withered Rose usually lies in the palace and rarely goes out, so there is no need for her to go down to the mines in person.

"You just can't see how hard your parents work. Go back and be filial to your mother."

Amber Xiu threw the small wallet into the private space. The child was not very smart. She would only be cheated if she took so much money. It was for her good to keep it for her.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

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

"For my sake?"

Catherine became alert. Why did this sound so familiar?

By the way, the princess of the Angry Tide Kingdom was fooled by him in the same way. This lich must have said "it's for your own good" to hundreds of people.

"Of course it's for your sake. You're going to be the queen of the drow elves, so have you ever thought about how to accommodate them? Even if their personalities really change, are you going to let them move to Silvermoon High Court?"

Catherine said as a matter of course: "Of course, if they sincerely repent, we are compatriots, and Silvermoon High Court will accept all elves."

Amber Xiu shook his head and said, "Just because you can accept it doesn't mean other elves can. How many years have the High Elves and the Drow Elves had a blood feud? Can you just let it go? Not every elf has a pure and kind soul like you. In fact, the mainland's evaluation of the High Elves is always inseparable from the words such as mysophobia, arrogance, and very vindictive.

"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 Amber said made sense. She had never thought about this problem before.

Amber continued, "The airship transportation business is just right for the drow elves to do, so that they can escape from their original living environment and be saved from crimes such as assassination and robbery. At the same time, this industry requires integrity the most. As long as the drow elves can continue this business, it means that they have changed. In this way, the elves of Silvermoon High Court should be able to accept the return of these fellow elves.

"Many things are beautiful because of distance. Even though you are hundreds of kilometers away, if you hear that your enemy has turned over a new leaf, the conflict won't be too sharp, whether you accept it or not. Once most elves accept this, fusion will be much easier."

No wonder the gods thought she couldn't accomplish this feat alone and had to ask the lich for help. It had only been a short time, but he had already thought so carefully.

Catherine said quickly: "That's very well said. It turns out that there is nothing you can't do if you want to."

Amber Xiu said happily: "Of course, I will never lie to you, I will never lie to anyone else. You represent the elves in this airship project, so invest in it."

But just as he finished speaking, the hull of the airship suddenly shook 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, Amber had already thrown the flying spell at them and pulled them away from the disintegrating cabin.

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

Catherine looked at the scene and couldn't help asking Amber Xiu, "You asked the drow to do this, do you want to kill them to reduce the difficulty of the task?"
