Lelouch naturally gave a certain amount of reward for the news that Rogge brought. Of course, Crystal Dragon Buyani also quarreled with Rogge as always, but this time Rogge became low-key because he didn't know what happened. He only returned the favor once and then ran away.
"Whether there has been a change or not has nothing to do with us. Now it is clear that this attack on Felibos was just a game. It seems that both our side and Yunokia lack intelligence on Claire." Lelouch said He spread his hands and said.
"That kid is really good at hiding. If we are in the light, he is in the dark. If he doesn't take action first, we will never find him."
Lelouch pondered: "There's no way he wouldn't take action first. If he still insists on revengemaybe something will happen before long."
Seeing Lelouch's expression, Buanyani felt it was unusually familiar. Every time Lelouch showed such an expression, it meant that he had caught some clues: "Sir Lelouch, what did you think of? You can tell me. Do you listen?"
"Well~ I thought of a clue, but I think Yunokia can also think of this clue, and only she has the strength to seize this clue." Lelouch smiled helplessly and pulled out of the space ring. He took out Zero's helmet and put it aside: "We'd better arrange it step by step."
Seeing this, Buanyani stopped talking. She really couldn¡¯t remember where the boy Claire showed up again.
He has completely disappeared since that night. Both Yunokia and herself have tried their best to search, but so many people can't find any trace of the child no matter how hard they search, and the boy has learned to behave. He doesn't want to steal stores anymore. According to Lelouch's guess, he has probably changed his appearance and acquired a normal identity. He can use the money he stole before to buy everything he needs, including food, clothes, shelter, and even various items. Magic books and supplies, as well as the legal institutions and city security forces under Yunokia, have strengthened their supervision of the sale of various magic items. If he wants to continue learning magic, he will definitely need these magic items and materials.
Speaking of funds, this little ghost market is definitely not short of money. After all, his space ring contains half of his savings. The total wealth must be hundreds of millions of lien, which would be enough for an ordinary person to live a lifetime.
Buyani couldn't help but gnashed her teeth when she thought of this. The savings she had saved from "frugaling" were used as wedding dresses for others. This brat must have been using his own money to enjoy the hot and spicy food during this period. , after all, when spending money, it is the happiest time to spend other people¡¯s money!
"What's wrong with you, Buanyani?" Lelouch noticed that Buanyani's face turned pale and rosy.
"Ah~nothing!"
"Are you sad for the wealth you collected?"
Lelouch could see what Buanyani was thinking. In fact, what really makes the Crystal Dragon girl feel heartbroken is the loss of property. Just like in the legend, the dragon seems to be obsessed with wealth. With a persistent mentality, even if you collect a mountain of gold and silver, if you lose a copper, you will feel heartbroken for a long time.
Buyanyani smiled awkwardly.
This is a bad habit. Money needs to be used to be called money. If it is not used, it is just a string of numbers. Gold can only be valuable if everyone recognizes its value. Otherwise, it is just a bunch of useless minerals.
Lelouch has always felt that most dragons only save money but do not know how to use money to promote the economy and create benefits for themselves. The dragon's treasure is like an astronomical sum in the eyes of ordinary people. Wealth, but this is mostly the view of the poor. In the eyes of businessmen who are truly rich and know how to use money, although the dragon's treasure is indeed a lot of money, it may take hundreds of years for the dragon to accumulate it. This wealth is really inefficient. Businessmen play games in the mall. Wen Jiang signed in one second may take a giant dragon hundreds of years to collect, and the funds flowing in the entire market every second are about It can make a dragon so excited that it stops its heart on the spot.
Lelouch couldn't help but think of the profits earned from the first sale of the potion. Facing the string of numbers on the report, Buanyani was stunned for a long time before swallowing her saliva and believing what she saw. It's not false.
In Buyani's eyes, this so-called monopoly trade is faster than robbery. In fact, Lelouch also wants to tell Buyani that compared to monopoly trade, there is something called stocks, virtual finance, and cherry stone currency (Note 1 ), that is robbery in the true sense, and the robber does not even have to leave his home, he only needs to?With a few keystrokes at the computer, the amount of money flowing can be so large that it can plunge a country into financial collapse.
Stimulated by this huge gap, Buanyani even changed her usual lazy behavior when she had nothing to do and picked up a financial book. Originally, Lelouch thought that Buanyani, as a crystal dragon, might have difficulty understanding finance. The ingenious operation method, but what I didn't expect was that Buyani's learning speed is amazingly fast, and her understanding ability is also very fast.
Although Buyani was confused about many financial operations at first, she immediately understood the mysteries after being pointed out, and was able to quickly understand the next key points by drawing inferences from one instance to another. Coupled with Julong's extremely strong memory, Lelouch estimated that if Buyani could keep studying with this kind of motivation, she might be able to create a businesswoman as strong as Alisa in a few years.
In fact, Lelouch thinks that dragons are really incredible creatures. In some aspects, dragons are far superior to humans in terms of talent, whether it is physical strength, mental ability, or learning and thinking. But now The giant dragon disappeared from the continent and lived in seclusion, while humans, who were theoretically much weaker, occupied the continent and became the apparent ruler. This is really strange. Although dragons have low fertility, their long lifespans can largely make up for the problems caused by low fertility, and their long lifespans also allow dragons to have an advantage over humans in accumulating more knowledge and experience, such as In terms of business competition and the development and application of technology, the dragon with more knowledge and experience should naturally have an advantage.
Lelouch believes that this is not simply because there are more powerful gods protecting humans in this world, nor is it because a cruel war breaks out between giant dragons. There should be some deeper reason that affects this world. pattern changes.
If the dragon loves wealth, it can completely integrate into the system created by humans and create far more wealth with a single movement than it can plunder with brute force. But now I seem to see that Croside has cleverly integrated into this system. , and used this system like a fish in water to seek huge benefits for themselves, while other dragons, whether it was the violent Rogge, the money-grubbing Buanyani, or the elusive Shadow Dragon that day, seemed to be wandering outside this system, still Relying on their own fangs and claws to plunder inefficiently.
Is it because the body is too strong that it relies on strength instead of wisdom?
Lelouch also noticed that Buanyani was obviously impatient with the cumbersome financial application techniques when learning this knowledge. She understood the operation of the system, but was disgusted with this kind of process that required time to settle, layout in advance, and traps to be set up. , the rules of the 'game' that require timing. To be honest, dragons are probably a bit troublesome and like to go in a straight line violently. To describe it, they like to make quick money.
Human beings can survive in this world and still dominate in the face of species like dragons that are not only naturally powerful but also extremely intelligent. It is probably thanks to the dragons' thinking patterns that are different from humans. Otherwise, if If the dragon actively learns human rules and uses wisdom to integrate into the world, then humans have no chance of winning in front of the dragon. Probably the best result is to become a puppet doll that can be manipulated at will.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and after getting Lelouch's permission, Alisa walked in holding some documents.
Seeing Alyssa enter the room, Buanyani also knew that Lelouch had business to attend to, waved his hand and said, "Then I will go to the Black Rose first today. LeBlanc also entrusted me to deal with a few people who are getting in the way. .¡±
Lelouch nodded, waited until Buanyani left Alisa and spread the documents on the table.
"This month's pharmaceutical production and sales plan." Alyssa briefly explained.
"Has the order quantity increased again?" Lelouch looked at the numbers above and said unexpectedly: "It seems that the Pharmacist Association has made this market too hungry before. Originally, I was worried that continuous large-scale shipments would It will not lead to market saturation, but now it seems that I am worrying too much.¡±
¡°Market feedback is very good, and even doubling the output is probably not enough.¡±
Alisa affirmed that the Silver Wings Chamber of Commerce mainly sells healing potions and a small amount of magic potions specially for Yunokia. The purity of the potions prepared by the elves remains high, which makes the Silver Wings Chamber of Commerce The medicines have excellent reviews in the market, and even national armies come here to purchase these high-purity medicines. After all, the higher the purity of the medicines, the more likely they are to save a soldier on the battlefield.
"Has the Pharmacists Association also increased production?"
Alyssa nodded: ¡°Yes.¡±??Lolouch-dono, it's just as you expected. "
(Note 1: Cherry stone is an important mineral in the geass world and an indispensable material for manufacturing humanoid mecha power systems. The largest production in Area 11 is almost monopolized by the Britannian Empire, just like the petrodollar system.)
