Act 281: Invitation by Erek II
Bai Gang handed over the letter from King Erek II of the White Sand Kingdom to Dimosen in confusion.
"If I understand correctly, your king will host a banquet in the arena tomorrow. Is this the custom of your White Sand Kingdom? The place where the king and the king first met was actually the arena!?"
Dimosen showed an awkward expression. It was not serious enough to set up the meeting place in the arena, but... with his understanding of his own king, it was really not surprising that the one who did such a thing!
"I'm very sorry, but His Majesty the King did not have any malice.
His Majesty Elek II is an avid gladiator. If you are interested, you can even watch gladiator while handling official duties!
In the White Sands Arena, His Majesty even has a special private room where he often invites guests to handle official duties. Although there are fewer meetings with other kings in the Arena, there have been precedents two or three times.
In fact, His Majesty spends more time in the arena than in the palace, so this time I am afraid that His Majesty did not do it intentionally.”
Bai Gang frowned: "I hope he treats me lightly if he intentionally. As long as he communicates frankly, the misunderstanding will eventually be resolved. I believe that the existence of Stormwind City is beneficial to the White Sand Kingdom.
But if His Majesty Erek II really didn't realize the importance of this meeting, and the important officials around him did not advise him...
Please forgive my straightforwardness, if that is the case, I can only lower my evaluation of His Majesty Elek II."
Dimosen smiled helplessly. Whenever an uninformed foreign friend saw the absurd behavior of Elek II, he would always show this expression.
With such a king, those who are subjects are also very tired!
The Glen family's private port is outside White Sand City, and it is quite a distance from the arena, so after a night off, Baigang set out with Dimosen early the next morning.
However, Bai Gang did not accept the carriage provided by Dimosen.
The purpose of their visit this time is to show the presence of Stormwind City, so they will naturally not be so stupid that they don’t even bring a car.
So Dimosen got into the "carriage" without horses in surprise.
"What an interesting alchemy product. His Majesty's alchemist masters are indeed extremely powerful people. Now this car and your steel warship should all be made by legendary alchemists."
Bai Gang didn't agree with Dimosen's feelings. He is now concerned about the endless crowds of people on the road and the densely packed vendors on both sides.
This place is much better than the desolate and decadent Holy Duze Empire with a doomsday atmosphere!
"What kind of festival is today, why are there so many people here?"
Dimosen couldn't help but proudly raised his neck, rich, this is what their White Sand Kingdom is proud of!
Every foreigner who comes to White Sand City for the first time will be attracted by the excitement here, and now, even this extremely wealthy King of Storm is no exception.
"No, today is not a festival. In fact, White Sand City has always been so lively."
Bai Gang smiled slightly, that's good!
He was really afraid that the White Sand Kingdom was as barren as the Holy Duze Empire. In such a place, there was no extra profit to earn except for mineral resources! Moreover, because of the lack of population and poor roads, the cost of developing it is quite large.
To be honest, Bai Gang always feels that he is now very similar to those European colonists who have just arrived in China in history.
However, white steel, which has many commodities that can be plundered, does not need to use some deceptive means like those robbers.
Walking along the road, Baigang's super luxurious hardcover version of Dongfeng Warrior has gained the attention of every Baisha man.
As the commercial capital of the West Coast, people in the White Sand Kingdom often have considerable confidence in those mysterious things.
But today they were really shocked - a carriage that could move forward without a horse, and it was made of steel. This is really an unheard of magical thing!
Soon, a group of children began to chase the car, and a few naughty guys even wanted to rush up and touch it with their hands to see if this magical carriage was really made of steel.
Because there are too many people, the car cannot run fast, if it weren't for the smart guards around me, I would have really succeeded!
As the car gradually moved away, the residents of Baisha City immediately began a crazy discussion. At this moment, a group of "very insightful" people suddenly appeared. They told the people around them that the great achievements of His Majesty Bai Gang were destroyed and the dangerous Echo Canyon battle situation was saved; they extended a helping hand to save the imminent Holy Duze Empire.
Of course, in addition to these popular hero novel plots, what is even more talked about is His Majesty Bai Gang's wealth!
The carriage that can move by itself and the steel warships that can float on the sea, just these strange things are enough to make the wealthy nobles in the entire White Sand City crazy, not to mention that he brought a large amount of Mithril to prepare for trade this time.
With the commotion caused by the steel warship entering the port yesterday as the foundation, the gossip about Baigang spread very smoothly this time. Before it was dark, even the snot-swept child knew that the wealthy king Baigang brought two ships of mitr silver!
This is of course fake. In fact, aluminum ingots and aluminum coins only account for half of the goods. In addition, the two ships also carry many other types of trade goods.
If you want to make the White Sand Kingdom crazy for Storm City, just Mithril is not enough.
The sales targets of Mithril are destined to be only those at the highest level. For ordinary civilians, there is only a little more topic of discussion. Whether or not there will be any impact on their lives at all.
This is not good news for Stormwind City, which pursues maximum profits.
Stormwind City, the seven human kingdoms in the south, does not have trade privileges and cannot easily crush the local chamber of commerce with tax incentives, so you have to use your brain and try to make some tricks.
From the current point of view, the first step of building momentum is still very successful.
Although the road was very lively, when Bai Gang and his team came outside the walls of Baisha City, there was no more hawkers around the wide road. Obviously, the purpose of this was to give the defenders on the wall an unblocked shooting territory.
"At least, this country hasn't completely lost its sense of crisis."
