Lord of Flames - Chapter 203

Chapter 203: Was a safe bet! Dark Forest and Holy Flame!

The Hun River Principality was located in the south of the Xi Ling Kingdom. In the west, there were also some territories.

From this day forth, the noble caravan of the Xi Ling Kingdom had a territory of the  Hun River Principality, dragging away the potatoes from the vehicles of potatoes!

The Hun River of principality naturally allowed these nobles to trade, but they still had to collect taxes.

But compared to the income, these taxes were nothing.

Just what did Lin Yan’s saints had surprisingly expected?

Potatoes were selling crazily in the Hun River Principality!

Some of the nobles sold it to the nobles of the Hun River Principality at a lower price in order to sell it as soon as possible. This was equivalent to wholesale.

The reason they did this was that they wanted to buy something else.

Sorghum!

“You want sorghum? How much? “What price to give?”

This was a conversation between two kingdoms.

“As many as you want! 3.5 Silver coins a catty!”

A nobleman from the Xi Ling Kingdom said.

Yes, the Royal Family bought it for 4.5 silver coins, but the nobles of the Xi Ling Kingdom still only offered a price higher than the market price.

This was the situation Meng Ying, and the others had considered for a long time.

He wanted to know the activities of nobles of the Xi Ling Kingdom to be more proactive and help them fight this economic battle. He couldn’t do without benefits. This 3.5 silver coin was the lowest purchase price set by the Royal Family. It was equivalent to giving the nobles a profit of 1 silver coin!

However, the purchase of sorghum in the Hun River Principality at a price of 3.5 silver coins per catty was still enough to make the Hun River Principality grow sorghum.

The reason was simple.

Rice could only sell for two silver coins per 1KG.

But sorghum could sell for 3.5 silver coins.

The yield of sorghum was about the same as rice per mu. She didn’t even need to take care of it, so she would save a lot of labor.

Most importantly, now, there were cheaper Divine beans representing rice. If they all planted sorghum and purchased divine beans as their staple food, they would gain much more than they would gain from growing rice.

Of course, they could also plant a small portion of rice for their families to eat, and then plant sorghum on the rest of the land. In a year, their income would still double!

Who wouldn’t want to double their income?

That was why the nobleman of the Hun River Principality immediately sold to

all the sorghum stock to the nobleman of Xi Ling Kingdom.

“Will you always keep buying like this?”

The nobleman of the Hun River Principality asked.

“Of course, it’s always been bought. You can buy as many as you want.”

The nobleman of the Kingdom of Xi Ling said.

However, on the first day, the nobles of the Hun River of Principality still had not made a decision.

However, on the second day, the third day, and the fourth day, a large number of nobles from the Xi Ling Kingdom were buying sorghum every day. Some of the nobles saw business opportunities and were bold enough to grow sorghum, where it was already growing on a large scale.

The climate of the Hun River Principality was quite good, which was one of the reasons for their high grain production.

The light here was strong, the climate was good; the soil was good, and almost all were plain.

After these nobles planted sorghum, some anxious nobles had already gone to the Church to apply for sorcerers.

After the mage accelerated, the growth cycle of sorghum would be greatly shortened!

As more and more nobles came to the Xi Ling Kingdom to buy sorghum, the sale of divine beans became more and more popular. After pressing the sale of rice, more and more people grew sorghum in the Hun River Principality.

Then, a new sorghum wine was brewed in the Hun River Principality, which was well-brewed in Yan Nation but said to be brewed in the Xi Ling Kingdom.

That sorghum wine was especially delicious, and it instantly made Hun River principality’s people go after that.

Now the people of the Principality of Hun River knew why the Xi Ling Kingdom wanted to buy sorghum!

At this time Queen Luo Ying sent an envoy to sign a long-term sorghum purchase agreement with the Royal Family of the Hun River principality.

With the guarantee of the sorghum purchase agreement, more nobles in the Hun River principality began to grow sorghum on a large scale!

“In fact, we didn’t pay a lot of gold, but we made a lot of money.”

Inside the temple, Luo Ying looked at the sorghum wine in front of her.

She was the Holy Lady, so of course, she couldn’t drink. This wine was just for their discussion.

Meng Ying nodded and said, “Yes. We’ve already taken back a lot of gold coins from the sale of divine beans. Although sorghum was bought at a high price, the wine we brewed was sold at a higher price. That way, we won’t lose money. We even spent a lot of our gold coins on the Hun River Principality, and we’ll be able to destroy the Hun River principality’s food base.”

That was the beauty of this move.

It seemed like they had lost a lot of money to buy sorghum. They were trying to destroy Hun principality’s grain base, but actually, the delicious sorghum wine had earned it back.

The wine was the most profitable thing.

Normally, two kilograms of sorghum could brew one kilogram of sorghum wine.

Two kilograms of sorghum Xi Ling Kingdom spent 9 silver coins.

However, the price of a kilogram of sorghum wine was 10 silver coins. The selling price was not to mention the price. It was the price and profit of the nobles who were in charge of selling it.

Ordinary wine could not be sold at such a high price, but this sorghum wine came from the enlightenment of God. It was terrible to drink.

In the Hun River Principality, drinking this sorcerer’s wine was a symbol of identity and status. After some commoners saved their living expenses by eating divine beans, they had to eat and drink!

Therefore, the volume of sales of sorghum wine was quite good!

No matter what, the Yan Nation and Xi Ling’s side would not lose money, while the Hun River Principality would not lose money.

However, the people of the Hun River Principality hadn’t found out yet.

The nobles of the Hun River Principality were spending their gold coins and enjoying their lives with the delicious sorghum wine. They all felt that they had taken in more gold coins and could enjoy more wine and more women.

However, they would soon realize that they had already fallen into a vast pit and could not climb out!

Of course, there were still some unexpected incidents. For example, some nobles in the Kingdom of Xi Ling also wanted to plant sorghum, but these nobles were secretly warned by the Royal Family.

Of course, they could plant it. It had to be after they took over Hun River Principality. When that happened, the price of sorghum would plummet.

When Lin Yan’s holy daughters dug a vast hole for the Hun River Principality and the economic war was raging in the north.

“Ho, it’s finally there. Is the Dark Forest in front of us?”

A Night Elf looked at the dark forest and asked.

The forest was quite large.

When he mentioned the Dark Forest, there was actually a prefix – Endless.

Endless Dark Forest.

No one in this dark forest knew how big it was.

Of course, Rocky Forest was cultivated by the Elf Empire from the Dark Forest.

Now, the Night Elves and Green-Elves had become the second batch of cultivators.

There was a dark substance in the air of the Dark Forest. The existence of this dark substance made the Dark Forest look very dark no matter what.

Even the noon sun could not shine in, nor could it dispel the darkness.

Even if it was lit inside, it could not dispel the darkness.

In the past, when the Rocky Forest Empire used to reclaim the Dark Forest, they used a special magic flame.

The hundreds of thousands of Elves were reclaimed at the same time. In order to maintain this magical flame for more than three days, the surrounding dark matter would be dispersed.

But they didn’t think it was enough to dissipate.

They had to keep moving forward.

Because dark matter could spread, once the flame was extinguished, dark matter would return!

The reason why it didn’t spread now was that the Elves Empire of Rocky Forest had set up a large barrier after the reclamation, blocking the spread of dark matter.

However, such a large-scale barrier could only be arranged after the reclamation was completed.

The reason why the forest had not been reclaimed was simple. They had used up a small magic stone that was needed to ignite the magic flame.

The methods the Night Elves prepared to use were different from the methods used by the Elf Empire in Loki Forest.

Because their God was the Lord of Flame.

He only needed to pray to the Lord of Flame to obtain a special flame.

Lin Yan got this flame from the few Holy Spirits.

Lin Yan called it Holy Flame!

When burning, it could emit Holy Light!

Holy Light was the most popular method used by the gods of the Heavenly Realm. The Holy Light was too useful.

The simplest point, of course, was to dispel the darkness. This was the basic function of all light!

This was also the reason why Chen Xi was not worried about the beliefs of the other elves that joined the reclamation.

These elves prayed to the Lord of Flame every day to obtain the Holy Flame, and their faith would unknowingly turn to the Lord of Flame.
