Chapter 43: Trade Route Construction 2

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Trade Route Construction 2

Rajos Assad was undoubtedly excited. Everything he encountered at Eagle Ridge was completely unexpected. His initial anxiety, nervousness, and hesitation turned into anticipation and infinite longing through Thor’s description.

One hundred sets of exquisite Black Iron Armor, along with a set of exquisite Silver Armor, weren’t many; they were actually quite few, enough to satisfy one or two nobles at most. However, the issue is the difference between having and not having them. Having them means he can open the doors of most of the nobles in the Northern Province.

As long as he can open the doors of the Noble Lords, the ensuing trade will become smoother.

The only problem is that his current power is not sufficient.

But there is always a way.

At worst, he could go back to his family and complain.

"You are so generous, I don’t even know how to describe my feelings right now."

Rajos Assad sighed lightly and spoke. At that moment, his feelings were complex, a sensation he had never imagined before.

"We are friends, aren’t we?"

"And one more thing, my friend, there might be something you don’t yet fully understand."

"Not to mention the Silver Armor, but I can trade Black Iron Armor with you every month."

Thor smiled and shook his head. What he said next made Rajos Assad’s body tremble again.

"Every month?"

Rajos widened his eyes, his words somewhat stuttering.

At this moment, he was already imagining the future commercial route.

But he didn’t expect the surprises to keep coming.

"Of course!"

"I told you, my father is very generous. Giving away some Black Iron Armor and Silver Armor is naturally not a problem."

Thor smiled and nodded again.

"Oh, my friend, your father is indeed generous!"

"His generosity makes me a bit jealous."

"What do you need me to do? I, Rajos Assad, am willing to serve my friend."

Rajos was once again moved, and finally spoke with a complex tone.

Envy.

At that moment, he could only feel envy.

Besides that, he really didn’t know what words to express.

"My friend, you misunderstand!"

"This is just business!"

"However, I do have a proposal. I wonder if my friend is interested?"

Thor smiled and shook his head, then spoke with a pensive expression.

"Please do tell!"

Rajos quickly responded.

"Here’s the thing, my friend. As you can see, my territory has begun development, but the construction needs a lot of materials and resources. Those damned vampires of the Habbs Commerce Association will surely demand a hefty price, and I simply cannot tolerate it."

"Rajos, my friend, your Assad family is a commerce family. I believe we can establish our own trade route in the Northern Province. I can provide you with knights, strength, and resources, and my friend, you can construct the entire trade line of the Northern Province. The Northern Province is vast, and if we can connect with other lords, I believe they would be willing. After all, the Habbs Commerce Association won’t leave Loren City for these barren lands."

Thor spoke slowly, laying out his plans.

The Northern Province is vast, almost ten times the size of the Frost Moon Province.

There are over thirty nobles with titles, and the number of Pioneer Lords is countless.

In such a vast provincial area, the resources and materials are unimaginable.

If the trade routes can be opened up, his development at Eagle Ridge will enter a new, high-speed stage.

In addition, with the expansion of the trade route, Thor can also test the scope of daily intelligence to see how it changes with his own alterations.

Of course, no one else knew about these thoughts.

Hearing Thor’s suggestion, Rajos’s eyes lit up.

"My friend, did I hear you correctly? Are you willing to help me establish the trade routes?"

Rajos asked in disbelief.

"Of course, you are my friend, aren’t you? Moreover, the trade route concerns my territory."

"Here’s the thing, if you’re willing, we can completely establish a commerce association of our own. I can provide the materials and personnel; you just need to manage the operation of the association."

Thor nodded and smiled, then after a short contemplation, spoke again, sharing something that made Rajos’s heart race.

"A commerce association?"

Rajos asked with excitement.

"Yes, a commerce association, where we each hold fifty percent."

Thor smiled and nodded, reaffirming his words.

"My friend, I must admit, this is very tempting!"

"How about this, since we’re friends, I don’t want my friends to suffer a loss. I only need thirty percent, but my friend, you’ll need to provide enough knights for security for the commerce association."

Rajos took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions, then looked at Thor and spoke seriously.

"Security, you say?"

"Of course, ten Official Knights, thirty Apprentice Knights, and one hundred Preparatory Knights will serve as your initial force, and if the commerce association expands, I can increase the manpower further."

Thor contemplated briefly before nodding, also providing his estimates.

Currently, a portion of his knights had been relocated to the iron ore site, but there were still quite a few knights at Eagle Ridge.

This was the perfect time to use them.

Since they were his Guardian Knights, he didn’t need to worry about them being recruited by Rajos; instead, they could keep watch over him.

"Of course!"

"This is already sufficient."

"My friend, with such strength, you are already stronger than most Pioneer Lords."

Rajos couldn’t help but express his admiration.

It wasn’t just flattery. Most Pioneer Knights usually only have one Official Knight. Those with two or three Official Knights are already considered very strong Pioneer Lords, and those able to mobilize more than ten Official Knights mostly have noble titles.

But Thor, at this moment, provided ten Official Knights for him. Reflecting on his situation when he left, Rajos felt at a loss for words.

Of course, speechless as he might be.

Soon, he was filled with anticipation once more.

With such power, along with Black Iron Armor and Silver Armor, he could surely open up a market in the Northern Province.

The commerce association would have the potential to truly establish itself.

As long as he could achieve something in the Northern Province, or even make significant accomplishments, he would certainly be valued by the Assad family.
